Two young Nigerian sprinters tell us why they train in the US

Nigeria is celebrating a victory at the World Athletics Championships; Tobi Amusan won the 100m hurdles and also broke the world record. She left Nigeria to study and train in the United States, and we hear from two young Nigerian sprinters following in her footsteps.

We speak to two people in California caught up in a wildfire. Officials have warned that a combination of drought, climate change, and overgrown vegetation are increasing the chances of the fire spreading rapidly. 

The Pope is making a historic visit to offer a formal apology on Canadian soil for the harms done by the Catholic-run residential schools across the country. We get reaction from Canada. 

It is a big moment in the battle to become the next UK Prime Minister when two conservative candidates left in the race – Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak – go head to head in a televised debate tonight. We find out what's expected.
