Typhoon Saola hits China as fire rages in Greece

Tens of millions of people in Guangdong province in southern China are sheltering indoors, after the storm skirted Hong Kong. Meanwhile, in Greece, one of Europe's biggest fires in 25 years has been burning for two weeks. We discuss climate change with some of the world's top scientists.

Also, doctors have told the BBC an unarmed Palestinian man shot and left critically wounded as he ran away from Israeli forces was hit “to be killed”. We speak to the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories.

And, a former museum guard reacts to the theft of artefacts from the British Museum.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss all this and more are Eunice Goes, Professor of Politics at Richmond American University in London, and the Greek journalist Yannis Palaiologos.
