LGBTQ+ rights around the world
We speak to people from LGBT communities in Russia, Turkey and Poland
The way Qatar treats its LGBTQ+ community has come under scrutiny during the World Cup. We hear about similar concerns in Russia, Turkey and Poland.
Iranian football fans have been celebrating their team's win over Wales at the Qatar World Cup but some fans feel the team should have done more to speak out about the anti-government protests in Iran. We talk about the reaction with our colleague from BBC Persian. Our football sports reporter gives an update on today's other games.
We hear from Uganda where schools have closed two weeks earlier, as an effort to slow down the spread of Ebola.
