How are Russians remembering Gorbachev?
We hear views from Russians on the death of Mikhail Gorbachev
We find out how Russians are remembering Mikhail Gorbachev 鈥� the last leader of the Soviet Union -- who has died at the age of 91. We explain why he was such a divisive figure, celebrated in the West but not in Russia.
We hear more personal stories of people affected by the floods in Pakistan. A farmer in Sidh province talks about the situation in his village. We also examine the role of climate change in making disasters like this more likely and more common.
We get an update from Mexico on the ten miners who have been trapped in a flooded coal mine for four weeks now.
