WILD FIRES IN RUSSIA After the hottest July on record, wildfires have been raging across central Russia.

Maria Prokova is one of the volunteer firefighters and has been leading a team as they work in the smouldering forests. PATRICK JOYCE Patrick Joyce describes himself as an incurable optimist. "Incurable" because he's been diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease - for which there is no cure. "Optimistic" because he's determined to take an upbeat view of the short time he has left to live - and he's decided to paint 100 portraits of the people who have inspired him. WHY MEN CHEAT It's an age old question - why do some men cheat on their partners? Irish playwright and comedian Peader De Burca has been carrying out his own research. - and he tells Outlook about his findings.
