Drought in France
Two French vineyard owners discuss the effects of drought on their industry
Wildfires are burning in several parts of Europe, where another heatwave is forecast in the coming days. We hear about the effects of drought in France and Portugal on crops and livelihoods.
We speak to people who live close to Europe's biggest nuclear power plant in the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia. The head of the state nuclear power company has accused Russian soldiers of turning the plant into a military base.
One of the greatest ever tennis players, Serena Williams, has given the strongest hint yet that she's preparing to retire from the sport she has dominated for much of her career. We get reaction from a sport journalist who has been following her career.
We talk about Sania Khan, a young Pakistani-American who left an unhappy marriage, found support through Tik Tok but was murdered by her husband.
