BBC World Service - BBC OS, 'I lost my home to a wildfire'

A woman in Canada tells the story of losing her home and farm, one year on

A woman in Canada tells the story of losing her home and farm, one year on.

This week on OS, five of the BBC's correspondents from five countries are presenting the programme. 

We were live from Jerusalem on Monday, from Nairobi yesterday and today our Southern Europe correspondent Mark Lowen will be hosting the show from Rome. Mark was recently in France, covering the forest fires, and we’ll be discussing the impact of heatwaves and drought in Europe and around the world. 

We get the details on a new report which says about 16 football pitches of trees per minute were lost to wildfires last year. 

A year after a wildfire destroyed the western Canadian village of Lytton, we speak to Tricia Thorpe. She lost her home and farm.

We also bring together three Afghans who a year ago had to leave their country after Kabul fell to the Taliban.
