Donald Trump’s latest campaign rally for the midterms was beset with hecklers as the president urged Texans to vote Republican.

It was his third trip to the traditionally ruby red state this month alone. He made some characteristically inaccurate statements on stage, including calling Democratic senate candidate James Talarico a "christian who hates christianity", who also believes God is "transgender".

So is Trump in panic-mode ahead of next months election? Jon and Lewis ask whether the President is starting to unravel as the polls turn against him across the country.

Later, Emily speaks with Evan Gershkovich, the American journalist who spent 16 months in a Russian jail.
