Floods around the world
We talk about floods in Brazil, Kenya, Indonesia and Afghanistan.
Our reporter explains what's happening in southern Brazil where water levels have been rising again. We also hear from Afghanistan where at least 300 people have been killed in flash floods. In Kenya some schools have reopened following the devastating floods two weeks ago. We speak to a teacher about concerns over student safety amid fears of more flooding. Our expert with BBC Weather explains how recent weather events relate to climate change.
We hear from people in Georgia who are taking part in mass protests. They oppose a controversial bill that is targeting civil society organisations and media that receive foreign funding.
Efforts continue to rescue and recover people who remain under the rubble of a collapsed building in the city of George in South Africa. We hear from somebody who was rescued.
Russian forces have intensified their attacks in northeastern Ukraine, with fighting reported in the border town of Vovchansk. We speak to our Ukraine correspondent and to a colleague from BBC Russian.
