Anger over Amazon fires
Protesters in Europe and Brazil are calling for action to protect Amazon.
We hear from people in Brazil who are taking part in protests over the fires in the Amazon rainforest. Several European leaders say they are prepared to scrap trade deals with South America unless Brazil takes action to tackle the forest fires. We've also spoken to a Bolivian doctor who's been treating people with symptoms related to fires.
Also, the case in Australia against parents who put their baby daughter on a strict vegan diet that left her severely malnourished. The couple avoided a jail sentence but are serving an 18-month jail term as a community order. We hear from a dietitian and a vegan parent.
And in Turkey the story of a woman who was stabbed to death has started a conversation about violence against women.
