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 about 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 the fires.

And the story of a Turkish woman stabbed to death that has started a conversation about violence against women in the country.

And 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.
