Berlin aquarium explosion

The "AquaDom" contained about 1,500 tropical fish.

A giant aquarium containing a million litres of water in the lobby of Radisson Blu in Berlin has burst, flooding the hotel and nearby streets. The vast majority of the fish died. We speak to two hotel guests who witnessed the explosion.

We ask South Africans what they think about President Ramaphosa who – after escaping an impeachment inquiry in parliament – now hopes to be re-elected as party leader in the national conference of the governing ANC.

And we continue our week covering workers across the world on strike. Today we hear from a train conductor and a track maintenance worker in the US.

Ahead of Sunday’s final between Argentina and France, the president of football's governing body, FIFA, Gianni Infantino says the Qatar tournament has been "the best World Cup ever". We ask our correspondent Shaimaa Khalil in Doha what the fans have been telling her.
