California Residents Flee the Fast-Moving Fire

The number of people killed by wildfires in California now stands at thirty-one, and thousands of firefighters are still struggling to contain the blaze.

We’ll be getting in touch with residents in California who’ve managed to escape the devastating wildfire and connect with local reporters covering the story.
Also today: the latest on a covert Israeli operation in Gaza. And, as part of the BBC’s #BeyondFakeNews season, our tech reporter explains how fake news spreads and goes viral on social media. Also, the BBC Middle East Correspondent Quentin Sommerville gives a fascinating insight into reporting from Syria and Iraq and explains what’s happened to the fighters of the so-called Islamic State. And, how #ThisisOurLane went viral on Twitter as a response to a mocking tweet from the National Rifle Association in the US.
