Reporting from Florida as Mitt Romney gives the most important speech of his life.

The man who could be the next US president gives the speech of his life at the Republican convention ahead of November's battle for the White House.

News from home and abroad with Dotun Adebayo.

We're live amongst the razzmatazz of the final day of the Republican party conference in Florida, where presidential hopeful, Mitt Romney, tells his party how Barack Obama has failed the USA - and how he is the man to take them out of disappointment and division.

Thousands of miles from the celebrations in Tampa, the humanitarian crisis caused by the violence in Syria grows. We speak to Cat Carter from Save the Children about the stark realities of working in a refugee camp over the border in Jordan. She tells Dotun how the site - developed for just hundreds-  is now home to twenty thousand. She describes the situation as being like a 'prison' but money is badly lacking.

And do you think the legacy of the Paralympic Games will outlast the event itself? That's the question we're asking in the Friday night phone-in. Listen as three experts from the world of paralympic sport discuss the issue with callers.
