Inside the Americas

In Haiti, close to one and a half million people are in desperate need of aid in the wake of Hurricane Matthew. We speak to a French humanitarian NGO staff member about the challenges ahead. Also, Venezuela's financial crisis is getting worse, pushing more and more people to try their luck outside the country, especially in Spain. And in the US, we meet female Republicans who have had enough of Donald Trump and will be voting for Hillary Clinton.

This week, we focus on Colombia, where the population narrowly rejected a peace deal with FARC rebels in a referendum that was supposed to be a shoe-in. We look at why the "no" vote carried the day. Also, we head to the US, where most evangelical Christians say they will vote for Donald Trump, but only to avoid backing Hillary Clinton.

This week, a historic peace deal is signed in Colombia, putting an end to one of the longest-running conflicts in the world. The government and FARC rebels have agreed to lay down their weapons. Next, Brazil gears up for local elections. We look at what kind of effect a year of top-level political scandals is having on the vote, this as the Petrobras noose tightens around former president Lula. And one down, two to go. We bring you the very best zingers from the first US presidential debate.

This week, the suspect in the New York and New Jersey bombings is charged with four offences, including using weapons of mass destruction. Also, the Colombian government and FARC rebels get set to sign a peace deal that would put an end to 50 years of fighting. We take a look at what this new era will bring to the rebels themselves. And Hollywood's most glamorous couple calls it quits - we bring you more on the end of Brangelina, or what some people are calling the BrexPitt.

This week, Hillary Clinton almost fainted at a 9/11 memorial, but her admission only afterwards that she was suffering from pneumonia has critics once again doubting her honesty. Also, cholera in Haiti has affected close to 800,000 people over the past six years. It's the world's worst epidemic of the disease in recent history, and the UN is partly to blame. Finally, we meet the "Mohawk Girls", Canada's version of "Sex and the City" set in its First Nations communities.

This week, we head to the US state of North Dakota, where the Sioux tribe is trying to stop a huge oil pipeline - they claim it will desecrate sacred land. We also go to Mexico to meet young people who have fled gang violence at home in Central America. Finally, we take a look at some of the main attractions at the Paralympics as they get under way in Rio.

This week, Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff is officially impeached, putting an end to thirteen years of leftist Workers' Party rule. Also, Colombia moves once step closer to a definitive peace between the government and FARC rebels. Meanwhile, the forbidden island of Cuba finally becomes accessible to Americans as the first commercial flights take off. And eleven years after Hurricane Katrina destroyed much of New Orleans, we look at another city reeling from floods: Baton Rouge.

This week, as Rio wakes up from the end of Olympic fever, it's now facing a bit of a hangover in the shape of Brazil's growing political crisis. Then, just two months away from the US presidential election, Donald Trump seems to be etching out a surprising new strategy. And part-Titanic, part-Moby Dick, the Canadian craze for a new kind of bottled water sparks the new profession of Iceberg Hunter.

On this week’s show: Can Barack Obama live up to his promise of closing Guantanamo Bay as his time in office draws to a close? We take a look. We also bring you the latest in the case of the New York imam who was shot dead in broad daylight - a suspect is now under arrest. Finally: While the world’s sports stars fight to get onto the Olympic podium in Rio, thousands of people are dedicating sweat, blood and tears to ensure a smooth running of the games. We take you behind the scenes.

The 2016 Summer Olympics are finally here. And while the eyes of the world are turning to the athletes, far from all Brazilians are happy about their country hosting the games. We meet some of the locals who have grown disillusioned by the Olympic hype. Also, one of the biggest concerns for Brazil today is making the Olympics as safe and secure as possible. More than 80,000 police officers and soldiers are patrolling the streets throughout the games. Security forces have also been carrying out huge simulated counter-terrorism exercises.

And there are quite a few French nationals on the Olympic games workforce. We'll take you backstage.
