BBC World Service - Weekend, Women's World Cup 2023: England v Spain in final

Football fans around the world are gearing up for the final of the women's World Cup

Football fans are gathering in Sydney ahead of the final of the women's World Cup, where Spain will face England later (1100B). Neither team has reached the final before. 

In the western Canadian province of British Colombia thirty thousand people have been ordered to evacuate their homes as huge wildfires intensify across the country. 

And the reintroduction of beavers to a country estate in north-east England after an absence of 400 years.

Joining Gary O'Donoghue to discuss all this and more are Lauren Frayer, London correspondent for the US National Public Radio network, and Fuad Musallam, assistant professor of social anthropology at the University of Birmingham, here in the UK.
