We hear from those who've joined the Tokyo Games as volunteers

On the eve of the opening ceremony of the Olympics, Tokyo has recorded its highest daily number of Covid infections for six months. We've brought together in conversation people who have joined the Games as volunteers.

We continue to follow the floods in China as more details emerge on the destruction in Henan province caused by the year's worth of rainfall that fell in three days. We've been speaking to two people in the provincial capital Zhengzhou.

Millions of Angolans are on the brink of starvation, because of the worst drought in decades in the country. Our Africa regional editor tells us more. 

Our correspondent in India has travelled to a remote district in the state of Arunachal Pradesh where more than 80% of the adults have had their first Covid vaccine.
