Storm Boris batters central and Eastern Europe

Rising floodwaters trigger evacuations in Czech Republic and Poland.

Torrential downpours have caused widespread flooding in countries including Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Romania. Thousands of residents have been evacuated and the floodwater has damaged homes, leaving many people without power.

Also on the programme: A new and potentially significant development in the case of the young Indian doctor who was raped and killed last month prompting furious nationwide protests; and how Donald Trump's controversial and debunked remarks about haitian immigrants in the US have given rise to widespread parody on social media. We hear from one of those satirical musicians, David Scott.
