BBC World Service - BBC OS, Ukraine: Nova Kakhovka dam

Rescue efforts in Ukraine continue following Tuesday's breach of the Kakhovka dam

Rescue efforts in Ukraine continue following Tuesday's breach of the Kakhovka dam.

At least one person has been killed in Russian shelling in the flooded Ukrainian city of Kherson. The region has been inundated by water after a major dam was destroyed on Tuesday. We hear from a resident and from our correspondent in the region.

Millions of people in North America have been advised to wear N95 masks outdoors due to poor air quality levels sparked by intense wildfires in Canada. We hear from people affected by wildfires and haze in Canada and in the US. 

A man armed with a knife has stabbed four pre-school children in a playground in France. Warning: Some listeners may find details of the attack distressing. 

A BBC investigation has uncovered an online business of sexual assault, producing and selling thousands of videos of men targeting women on public transport across East Asia. We hear details from our colleague who has been investigating.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
