More civilians killed in Afghanistan
At least thirty five people have died in the latest attack in Afghanistan.
A roadside bomb has hit a bus travelling from Herat to Kandahar in western Afghanistan, killing at least 35 people and injuring 27 others. The vehicle was packed with women and children and university students going home for the summer. We have spoken to a woman from Kandahar about the dangers of travelling in the country.
In Japan 11 people have died and thousands have been hospitalised because of a heatwave across the country. We hear from a meteorologist in Tokyo.
And we'll explain how Zomato, the food delivery company, became the top trend in India. There's been a big social media conversation after a customer refused a delivery from a Muslim driver.
