Lebanon: A year from Beirut explosion

We are reflecting on a year since the port blast in Beirut

We'll be live in Beirut where a remembrance service is taking place to mark the moment of the blast that killed over 200 people a year ago. We have also reconnected with a woman who lost her home in the blast.

In the final week of the Tokyo Olympics, we'll hear the experiences of two people who decided to join the Games as volunteers. We'll also speak to two people who opposed hosting the Games but have since had a change of heart.

We'll also talk about the success of young skateboarders in Tokyo.

And we get the latest on the fighting in Afghanistan between the government forces and the Taliban.
