Kenya begins its deployment of police to Haiti just as Kenyans are drawing attention to policing issues at home. When this week’s demonstrations in Nairobi escalated, police were accused of excessive force in their response, which included widespread use of tear gas, as well as deadly shootings. Plus, Thursday night’s US presidential debate drew strong reactions from throughout the globe. We’ll hear global perspectives and takeaways on the televised representation of America’s presidency and American democracy. And, the Olympics are coming to Paris for the first time in more than a century. We’ll take a fun trip back in time, to see how much the Games have changed since then.
