How Donald Trump's anti-immigration rhetoric divided a city

Donald Trump's anti-immigration rhetoric has riled up one Massachusetts town. "It brought things to a head out here," says a Brockton city councillor, "people are going nuts."

Also on the programme: Canadians launch a campaign to tell Americans that they’re great; Zahra Noorbakhsh, a Muslim comedian, comes out as bisexual; and writer Deepak Singh returns to India and realizes that there is an aspect of life there he had forgotten about. Plus, we visit haunted places all over the world.
