Broadcasters have issued new proposals for television debates ahead of General Election - with plans to continue if any party leader refuses to take part.
The planned schedule will see two programmes featuring seven party leaders, with one further debate between David Cameron and Ed Miliband alone.
Just under half (49%) of Britons think that election debates involving seven political parties will make for a more interesting debate, a poll has found.
Only around one in five (22%) respondents to the ComRes/ITV News poll said it would make the debates less interesting.
However, only two in five (39%) said that the televised debates will be important in helping them decide who to vote for. This proportion rose to over half (51%) among respondents between the ages of 18 and 24.
Almost two-thirds (64%) said the debates should go ahead even if David Cameron does not take part.
The Democratic presidential candidate may also have shown his cards on his choice of running mate.
The US president also shared a post on Twitter accusing Dr Anthony Fauci of misleading the public over hydroxychloroquine.
