As parts of Europe continue to battle ongoing wildfires and persistent heatwaves, has the norm of a holiday in Europe changed forever?

Just this week, fires near tourist hotspots like Bordeaux were described as "fires of the century" and Spain declared a national emergency after wildfires swept near its capital of Madrid.

Meanwhile, the rising temperatures are having a knock-on effect to costs of holidaying in Europe, with sunbeds in some areas sometimes costing more than a flight to reserve.

It began with a fear familiar to millions of young Indians: if the examinations that determine their future cannot be trusted, what can?

Weeks later, tens of thousands of young men and women tried to march on India's parliament. Police responded with tear gas and baton charges. Thousands more have returned to the streets in the days since.

The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a youth-led movement, which started out as a meme on social media, born out of anger over repeated examination paper leaks, quickly became India's biggest student mobilisation in years.

Fifa president Gianni Infantino says he has scrapped the controversial plan to sell off stakes in the governing body's competitions to private investors following widespread opposition.

Infantino said it had become clear the project had "created divisions" that are "no longer in the interest" of its original objective.

Infantino had offered Fifa's 211 member associations $40m (£30m) if they backed a proposal for private investment in its tournaments, including the men's and women's World Cups.

However, Uefa - which governs European football - responded by voting to boycott World Cups if the plans went ahead, and other governing bodies also voiced their opposition.

For 40 years, the identity of a tiny seaweed living in a secret underwater world has been a mystery. But a team of scientific divers exploring the waters off south Cornwall have made a breakthrough.

They discovered a seaweed that is now known to be an entirely new species to science. The discovery is so new, it doesn't have a common name yet, so you are being invited to make suggestions.

Now scientifically documented for the first time globally, and shared exclusively with the BBC, and has joined the Natural History Museum's official collection. We’ve been to under-explored and well-known marine habitats in Cornwall to find out more.

The chilling story of Hull’s funeral home horror. How an undertaker drowning in debt betrayed hundreds of grieving families.

Robert Bush hoarded bodies, sold fake funeral plans and presented families with the ashes of strangers. His shocking crimes went undetected for years.

The discovery led to one of the most complex investigations in Humberside Police’s history, with help from the National Crime Agency.

At the heart of this are grieving families. In their darkest days, they fought for laws to regulate the funeral industry so that others never suffer their pain - or guilt - again.
