Saudi Pro League to kick off

Saudi Pro League clubs have signed some of Europe's top football players. Our Middle East business reporter explains why Saudi-Arabia is investing so heavily in football and in other sports.

We also hear about the criticism that Saudi-Arabia is using sport to distract from its human rights record.

We bring together one of the Saudi football’s rising female stars, 19-year old Tala, and her coach at Jeddah Pro Football Academy.

We have the latest from Hawaii where at least 55 people have lost their lives in the wildfires.

The number of migrants crossing the Mediterranean Sea to reach Europe has doubled in the past year. Our correspondent in Italy explains.

We talk about misunderstandings around sunscreen for minority communities.
