Wildfires: Race to evacuate Canadian city

Evacuation is underway in the far north of Canada where the residents of Yellowknife, the capital of the Northwest Territories, have been given until noon local time on Friday to leave. Emergency services on the Spanish island of Tenerife say a fire there is now burning out of control, and thousands of people have been evacuated. We also hear about the situation in Hawaii where at least 110 people are now known to have been killed in last week's fires.

West African military chiefs have said they are prepared to use force to restore democracy in Niger following last month's coup - if diplomacy fails. We hear what people in the region think about the situation.

We speak to Afghans, who have left their country and are still living in temporary accommodations.

We tap into the online conversation about the size of Bradley Cooper’s nose in the role of Leonard Bernstein in his new film. Critics say it is perpetuating Jewish stereotypes.

We explain what's at stake in the lunar race between India and Russia.
