Our panel of journalists discuss the big topics of the week, starting with Democrats staging their third presidential debate in order to select who will face Donald Trump in 2020. While unveiling her lineup of commissioners, Ursula von der Leyen caused a big stir by naming Margaritis Schinas "Vice President for Protecting our European Way of Life". We also reflect on the UK's parliament prorogation, anti-immigrant violence in South Africa and homophobia in French football.
