Brazil: Young Players Die in Flamengo Football Club Fire
A fire at the youth club of one of Brazil's biggest football clubs has killed 10 people.
We go to Brazil where a fire at a training center of one of the country's biggest football clubs, Flamengo, has killed ten people. All of the victims are said to be young athletes staying at the dormitory of the youth club in Rio de Janeiro.
And, more on a popular story this week on the BBC news website; it is about a woman, Lilly, who said prison had helped her change the direction of her life for the better. We have Lilly’s story first-hand but also speak to a woman whose experience of prison is not such a positive one.
The first lorries with US humanitarian aid for Venezuela have arrived in the Colombian border city of Cúcuta. President Maduro says he will not allow a "cheap show" of humanitarian aid.
