Pakistan floods: Millions are homeless
We speak to a man right in the middle of the floods in Pakistan.
Monsoon rains have caused devastating floods in Pakistan, leaving millions homeless, destroying buildings, bridges and roads and leaving vast swathes of the country under water. We hear from a man in Sidh province about the desperate situation in his village. He is working night and day to try to help people who've been forced from their homes.
We find out how Russians are remembering Mikhail Gorbachev – the last leader of the Soviet Union -- who has died at the age of 91. We explain why he was such a divisive figure, celebrated in the West but not in Russia.
We talk about a debate in the US about rap lyrics being used as evidence in court.
