BBC World Service - BBC OS, More than 100 deaths in India floods

It was caused by heavy rains in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar

Unusually heavy late monsoon rains have caused floods in the northern states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar in India. Railway and road traffic, healthcare services, schools and power supply have been disrupted in both states. We hear from those affected and from our reporter in Bihar.

We speak to a protester in Haiti who tells us about fuel and food shortages. Tensions are high and people in the streets are demanding the resignation of President Jovenel Moise.

And we’ll have a conversation about shorter working week, after a campaign for four-day working week was launched in Ireland.
