Before you listen to this BBC podcast, I'd like to quickly tell you about some others.

My name's Andy Martin and I'm the editor of a team of podcast producers at the BBC in Northern Ireland.

It's a job I really love because we get to tell the stories that really matter to people here,

but which also resonate and apply to listeners around the world.

And because the team is such a diverse

range of skills and strengths, we have trained journalists, people who love digging through

archives, we've got drama and even comedy experts. We really can do those stories justice. So if

you like this podcast, head to BBC Sounds where you'll find plenty more fascinating stories

from all around the UK. BBC Sounds where you'll find plenty more fascinating stories from all around the UK.

Wake Up to Money from BBC Five Live.

Hello, welcome to Wake Up to Money with just eight weeks to go until the US election.

Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, have clashed on the economy,

abortion rights, border policy, foreign policy, and plenty more in their only scheduled,

and it was pretty testy, debate. She is Biden. You know, she's trying to get away from Biden.

I don't know the gentleman, she says. Clearly, I am not Joe Joe Biden and I am certainly not Donald Trump.

More of that in a moment. Plans to cut winter fuel payments for millions of pensioners were

comfortably approved in the Commons yesterday. We're going to find out how pensioners are feeling

about that, what the impact of it will be. And what's been dubbed the Olympics of Skills gets underway in Leon in France as young people from over 60 countries

compete in different technical disciplines. Wake up to Money with Sean Farrington. A very good

morning to you. Welcome. It is Wake Up to Money on Wednesday morning, the 11th of September. It is just after 5 o'clock. I'm Sean Farrington. Thank you so much for being with us this morning. 85058 is as ever the number to be using to getting touch with us this morning. Send us a text. Join in our conversation, whatever it might be about. We're going to be talking about specialist skills a little bit later as we in the UK have

our own entrance to that Skills Olympics going on in Leon.
