Virginia views on US race
For the past year the BBC has been talking to American people, trying to get the pulse of the nation before the general election.
The town of Culpeper, Virginia has been a 'laboratory.' The BBC has regularly visited the people there, making friends, hearing about their worries and their joys, and trying to learn something from their lives.
With just two weeks to go before the election, Virginia is proving to be pivotal.
BBC reporters have returned to Culpeper to see how the electoral deal is being sealed.

Israeli probes 'detainee shooting'
The BBC always make sure they put accusations against Israelis in quotes - even when the evidence is clear, as here.
The same cannot be said for their use of 'evidence' regarding Palestinians, or for their careless terminology. For example the recent attack in Jerusalem by the man in the digger - he was an arab citizen of Israel, but the BBC and newspapers referred to him as Palestinian.

Tribe takes on global mining firm
The Dongria Kondh people of Golgola, from Orissa, India, fight Vedanta Resources who want to mine their hills for bauxite. Critics say mining the hills may cause severe environmental damage, and could disrupt the Dongria's way of life.
India's Wildlife Institute has said that mining threatens an important ecosystem with irreversible changes.
A Supreme Court committee which investigated the project said Vedanta Aluminium violated guidelines in the Forest Conservation Act when it built its refinery and should have its environmental clearance withdrawn.
And Norway's official Council on Ethics, which monitors investments for the country's huge state pension fund, said investing in Vedanta Resources, which has many mining interests, presented "an unacceptable risk of complicity in current and future severe environmental damage and human rights violations".
Norway's government sold all the Vedanta shares it held which were worth $14m. (BBC)
