Taylor Swift breaks US chart records

Taylor Swift is now the first woman to have four albums in the US Top 10 chart at the same time.

We speak to three Taylor Swift superfans about why she is so popular. The singer has become the first woman to have four albums in the Top 10 of the US album chart at the same time. She has also beaten Barbra Streisand's record and become the female artist with the most No.1 albums in history.

Sweltering temperatures are continuing across southern Europe, the US and China. We speak to a local journalist in Greece about the wildfires in the country. We also hear how people around the world are coping with extreme heat.

We also discuss solutions to climate change and hear from vertical farmers cultivating microgreens in Spain and Germany.

Former Twitter employees in Ghana say the company has gone silent on all negotiations with their lawyers following the massive layoffs in November last year. We speak to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s West Africa business reporter.

We talk about the future of the Commonwealth Games after Australia dropped out of hosting the 2026 games due to budget blowouts.
