Wildfire rages in France

Firefighters are battling a "monster" wildfire in south-western France near Bordeaux.

As countries around the world are struggling with droughts, we get your questions answered on how to cope. How can you stop water running out?

We speak to people living close to the giant wildfire in France. Strong winds and high temperatures are hampering the firefighting operation.

We hear what workers at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant have been telling the BBC about the conditions they’re working in and the ongoing fighting in the area.

And as Serena Williams moves towards the end of her tennis career, we speak to women athletes about their experiences of continuing to compete after they’ve had a baby.
