Dozens of deaths in Canada heatwave
Temperatures have soared close to 50C in the US Pacific north-west and Canada
Dozens of people have died in the record-breaking heatwave, and we speak to local people in the US and Canada about how they are coping with the hot weather. We'll also explain how extreme heat overwhelms your body and becomes deadly.
We continue to bring together people to share experiences of the pandemic. Today two members of the same family in Israel discuss the government’s decision to reimpose its indoor mask mandate just days after lifting it, following a rise in Covid cases.
We’ll also speak to our regular health expert Dr Maria Sundaram about today’s other coronavirus stories.
And we hear about an investigation that helped to expose sexual abuse at the heart of one of the world’s biggest international yoga organisations.
