Floods in Pakistan
Hundreds of people have been killed in this year's monsoon season.
The authorities in the Pakistani city of Karachi have declared an emergency and a public holiday after torrential monsoon rains paralysed the financial capital. Pakistan's northern and north-western regions have also been hit by flash floods and landslides. We speak to local journalists who have been covering the story and also affected by the floods.
Six severed heads have been found on a road in central Mexico, in an area not normally associated with cartel violence. Our correspondent has the details.
Our regional editors in the newsroom give updates on the atrocities reported by M23 rebels in the Democratic Republic of Congo and on the virtual meeting by Nato military leaders about the future of Ukraine.
We also hear a conversation with three Ukrainians about what has happened to them since the war started.
Presenter: Luke Jones.
