BBC World Service - The Thought Show, Who Won the US Presidential Debate?

Polling on the Clinton-Trump TV showdown – and why not all polls are equal.

Polling on the Clinton-Trump TV showdown – and why not all polls are equal, also, is it ever right to help someone to kill themselves?

Polling on the first TV debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump appears to be divided over who won it. But not all polls are equal: when internet polls can be hijacked by online activists, they can throw up some strange results.

Controversy has erupted in the US over a hip hop song that offers a step-by-step guide to committing burglary and contains lyrics suggesting criminals target Chinese homes.  
We talk to one of the protesters who is trying to get the track banned.

In a few countries, terminally-ill people — suffering pain and distress — are allowed to get help from friends, family and physicians to bring their lives to an end. In many countries, it’s a crime. Mike Williams explores the sensitive issues at stake on both sides of the argument.
