TRANSLATION: Sport for me is my life, because without sport,

The food bug, Katie Watson finds out whether insects could be the diet of

the future. Actually, really nice flavour. It is the bigger show in

town, on Monday Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will go head-to-head

in their first presidential debate. Within months ago until America

votes, a critical month in the campaign. Each candidate trying to

sway undecided voters. Cathy came looks ahead to debate which could

decide whether Clinton or Trump makes it to the White House. The

presidential debates give American voters be any chance they had to

compare candidates side by side. The stakes are enormous. In this

election the biggest challenge for Hillary Clinton, how do you debate

someone like Donald Trump? Never a candidate or debater like him. Let

me talk, quiet. Trump does not do traditional debate prep, with policy

briefing and analysis. He prefers childlike retorts. He puts the Bible

down, then he lies, lying third. During the Republican primaries,

Todd Harris was the senior adviser for Senator Marco Rubio, the man

Trump dismissed as little mark. Our strategy for most of the campaign

was to ignore all of his insults. The challenge with that, the media

was ignoring none of them. The best thing for Hillary Clinton, in terms

of debating Trump, would be to not show up at all. The best way to

engage with Trump is to let him hang himself with his own words. With his

inconsistencies. Marco Rubio discover the cost of about debate on

the 6th of February in New Hampshire. He repeated himself

separate times. Let's dispel the fiction that Barack Obama does not

know what he's doing, he knows exactly what he's doing. The notion

that he does not know what he's doing is not true. The memorise 25

second speech. Within hours the Internet was buzzing with jokes

about him. Ultimately his campaign ended that night. Which is why

debate prep is taken seriously by the Donald Trump and Hillary

Clinton. She has briefing books, she talks about debate strategy with

campaign veterans. She will Dean Moxey baits with someone standing in

for Trump. I don't believe we have been told he will stand in for

Trump, interesting. Donald Trump got the first word, and the last word.

Donald Trump does not debate the way anyone debates. He does his Donald

Trump thing. He project strength, uses some of the moves he learned as

a reality television star. He does it completely different from anyone

I have ever seen on a debating space. President Obama has also

learned a election debates can hurt a candidate just as much as they can

help them. On the 3rd of October 2012, he met Mitt Romney in Denver

for their first debate. It was a disaster. We will double down on the

top-down economic policies that helped to get us into this mace. Do

we embrace a new economic patriotism. Obama was tetchy and

distracted, he gave the impression he did not want to be there.

Stephanie Cutter was his campaign manager. It was clear we were losing

from what we saw in the commentary, Twitter was a decisive factor for

how that debate was covered. We knew what we were dealing with. We

charted out how to make changes before the debate ended. President

Obama recovered in later debates. Those around him suggest one big

problem in Denver was he underestimated his opponent.

Political scientists don't agree how much the debates help you win the

White House. The polling is inconclusive. What they do know,

this will be box office must see television. Do not expect the

candidates to play it safe, wooing the voters in the middle. Instead

they will try to scare the living daylights out of their own

supporters at the very prospect of the other person only stays

occupying the Oval Office. That will mean a lot of sharp attacks, not

necessarily edifying, certainly entertaining.

As tens of thousands of refugees from Syria head to Europe in search

of a better life, many may find themselves more welcome in Canada.

It has taken in more than 30,000 Syrians in the past 10 months

and the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told the UN this week

that his country will do more to help Syrian refugees.

But as Lyse Doucet, herself a Canadian, reports from Toronto,

the rate of acceptance of these new Canadians

..these girls know their alphabet and a lot more about being Canadian.

Like thousands of Syrians, this family is sponsored

by individuals like Claudia who clubbed together to respond

What other question words do you use?

Her husband Andrew, an art dealer, helps three generations

of the family with their English and help them settle in.

It is the best way to integrate newcomers into the country,

to get them connected with the city, all the things that are available

and to create the warm arrival that sets the tone for the rest

A picnic in the park and a warm welcome from another

It makes me hard to see how much people are suffering in Syria.

A picnic in the park and a warm welcome from another

Their group raised enough to support the family for a year.

Everyone at this gathering is doing something similar.

You do hear critical voices, but for now the public mood

It is so striking just how different the mood is here than

But then much about Canada is different, every Syrian family

here was carefully vetted and then welcomed by families here in Canada,

and you haven't seen the kind of attacks here that have caused

But when you look at this you have to ask, could this

kind of model be adopted somewhere else?

Then suddenly, in this crowd, a family I know from Syria.

It has been more than two years, their lives were so desperate them.

It has been more than two years, their lives were so desperate then.

She told me she would have dreams of people with their heads cut off. Now

I see my future now, I have things to do here. I like Canada so much.

There is a problem with Canada's policy. This group sponsored a

family they hope will live here. How long has this been ready for people?

Seven months now. It is not clear when, if ever they will get to

Canada. The government promised to bring in 25,000 Syrians, it has done

that. Now it is slowing the pace of arrivals. We do wish the government

would move faster. It is such a unique thing in Canada to form a

private group that can sponsor families. It would be great if that

goodwill was not wasted. Canada's prime ministers still wins applause.

London Mayor, Sadiq Khan the latest to come calling. Justin Trudeau

describes refugees as new Canadians. We know differences are source of

strength, that is something we have to to demonstrate. Better jobs and

outcomes for the entire communities. Thousands of Canadians are

sponsoring refugees, they are working. There is a lot more work to

do. These Syrians already

feel they belong here. This vast country has long made

space for new citizens, but like many other places

it is asking how many more How long will this

warm welcome last? Lyse Doucet, BBC News,

Toronto. Now, globally, hundreds of millions

of people speak English, but there are only nine people

in the world who can speak Yiaku. It is one of the rarest

languages in the world, spoken by the Yiaku tribe in Kenya,

and it is facing extinction. It is just one of hundreds

of indigenous languages Emmanuel Igunza has been to meet

the Yiaku, one of the smallest A community desperately hanging

on to its dying traditions. This young man is being

taught beekeeping. It has long been the mainstay

of the Yiaku people, but it started fading away in favour

of livestock keeping, because they were influenced

by neighbouring tribes, Decades of inter-marriage

with the Masai has seen much And now they are only nine elderly

people who can speak The elders have decided

to revive their language. This man tells me the community has

been forgotten and now they have taken the task of translating

and teaching the language Decades of illegal logging have

destroyed much of it, pushing the Yiaku community

out of the forest. Unlike the wealthier

and better-known neighbours, the Masai, the Yiaku people

are dependent on this Here is where they gathered

and hunted for food but even Not far from the forest is this

school built by the help Two times a month, students

here learn the language The old men actively

participate in the lessons, despite never having attended formal

education themselves. If these elders die,

then the language will die. Most of our cultures will die,

because they are the custodians This is one of the challenges

that the elderly are now dying There is no mechanism in place

to save the language This is one of the serious,

serious problems that needs The Yiaku community is so small

that it is not recognised among Kenya's 42 ethnic communities,

but they are refusing to give up on their heritage, despite knowing

that theirs is a race against time. Emmanuel Igunza, BBC

News, Central Kenya. It was the city with the troubled

past became the UK city of culture, Londonderry was the capital of

culture in 2013, with the aim of bringing people together and

artistic talent to flourish. Has it worked? We see what legacy it has

left behind. Londonderry nearly three years after

it was UK city of culture. Back then the snaking bridge connecting two

sides of a divided community was a new landmark signalling a fresh

start. It has been a great success, but what else remains from the 12

month arts extravaganza? Londonderry city of culture, 2013, was it worth

it? I think it was, it really was. We had a great year. Some people

say, was that audit was? If that is all it was, it was still great.

There were promises May, promises did not come through, authorities

funding, but this been very we're used that. -- this being Derry.

There is a new story out there, greater interest in the city, people

want to explore, the cultural regeneration we have. Thickly around

tourism. You can see significant growth. 2013, big numbers came to

the city, we expected a dip in 2014, this month passed in August we had

the greatest occupancy we ever have had in the city. It has left a

legacy, but what do local people think? It has come up in the map as

the city of culture. It is a great little town. Great at the time. Not

a lot of legacy, I don't think. No jobs. It has brought more business.

Naturally enough people come. Maybe businessmen themselves. They say,

this is a nice place. This looks well, we might investigate.

Investment has been made, albeit relatively modest, in this fashion

and Textile design Centre. An attempt to fill part of the

significant economic hole left by the demise of the ship making

industry. This gallery has seen some investment. The director has advice

for Hull, the next city of culture. You have to think strongly about the

issue of legacy, what happens afterwards. What happens to the

organisations, the spaces? What happens to the spaces in terms of

huge amount of public funds pumped into them. Programmes. What they

need to consider in terms of what that does for a city. Some feel the

possibilities created by the city of culture have not been realised.

Others, it has kick-started a mini renaissance. All agree it was time

and money well spent. It has been a long,

emotional summer in Rio and an incredible few

weeks of sport. The Paralympic games were initially

plagued with problems, but they have been widely seen

as a success. Now the fans and athletes have gone

home, what legacy will the games leave behind for disabled

people in Brazil? Wyre Davies has been speaking

to the next generation If the Olympic and Paralympic games

were all about inspiration and encouragement, then in David

they have found a champion. The 11-year-old from Rio is already

an accomplished surfer, now picking up another soon-to-be

Olympic sport and by the time the next games come around,

he has no intention TRANSLATION: Sport for me

is my life. Because without sport,

I am not David. I never thought I would be able

to skateboard like this. He lives in a country where 40%

of disabled children do not go to school,

where there is a huge gap in equality of opportunity depending

on race or social background. That has to change say campaigners

if Brazil is to build on Rio 2016. For those adolescents,

this cannot be a flash in the pan This means there are possibilities

for people with disabilities out there, that they may have assumed

were not possible for them, because of who they are or where they come

from or what colour they are. Putting on an expensive

summer of sport was a The first games to be held

in South America in a city and country that arguably had

more important priorities. Anxious to avoid accusations

of spending millions on white elephant stadiums that will never be

used again, Rio 2016 officials say many of the venues will have a life

once the games are over. The Arena of the Future will be

broken up, its materials used in the construction

of four new schools. Public support was initially

lukewarm, by the time the Paralympics came around,

ticket prices were cut, enthusiasm grew and the games

felt more inclusive. We showed that we could deliver

a cheap games, lots of legacy, improving lives, it will not solve

all the problems, there are still We know that, problems in Rio,

but the lives are much better because they were

inspired by the games. In the past few weeks,

Brazilians have found new Olympic and Paralympic heroes but the tough

funding decisions to come could make or break the ambitions of a young

boy inspired by what he has witnessed in his own city to one day

become an Olympian himself. Wyre Davies, BBC News,

Rio. A warning for this next piece, if

you are eating, you might want to pause for a few minutes. Every day 2

billion people eat insects as part of their diet. While it is a

practice that makes some queasy, experts say banks are the

high-protein food of the future. In Mexico they have been eating them

for centuries. As Katie Watson found out, American businesses are getting

the food bug. Fancy a juicy worm? A crunchy

scorpion? Even a tic? There are 2 billion edible insects around the

world, Mexico has most of them. Catching them is not

straightforward. The vast majority of grasshoppers are harvested in

formally. Those who collect them don't own the land, the process of

collecting them means they trample on crops with their nets just to get

the catch. Add to that, most farmers seek grasshoppers as pests. Not

Jose, a farmer 33 years, just eight years ago he came up with a

different strategy. They eat our crops, especially vegetables. It

cost us a lot. We decided to make a business out of the grasshoppers,

instead of fighting them. Jose is an exception to the rule. North of the

Bow border these entrepreneurs are beating the Mexicans at their own

game. They set up an edible grasshopper farm, for

health-conscious Californians. Now mealworms, too. People have been

eating insects is the beginning of time. It is more so about

reintroducing it. Making it sexy. In a way that will be far more

receptive, to the general public. They could be onto a good thing. It

takes ten times less energy to produce a kilo of crickets and

grasshoppers, down one kilo of beef. Will it really take off? This chef

and food critic thinks, it will. The same thing was said about sushi,

eating raw fish. Now the same thing happening with insects. A younger

generation starting to try them. Catching up with this tradition. It

will grow. One person in the younger generation may need some convincing.

I have been presented with two dishes. Tics, they look far too much

like cockroaches, I won't touch them. I will try a worm. I am

terrified, I have to say. Actually, really nice flavour.

Katie Watson, being a lot braver than I would.
