Candidates for UN top job to hold live debate on Tuesday

Candidates for the United Nation's top job will for the first time in the organisation's history hold a live debate, which would be broadcast live to audience worldwide on television and digital platforms. 

Tuesday's debate to be carried by Aljazeera media network, would also allow UN member states and the people they represent to question the hopefuls for the Secretary- General position. 

The current UN Secretary-General, Ban ki-moon, steps down at the end of the year after two five-year terms.
