Hollywood actors set to strike
Hollywood actors are preparing to strike alongside screenwriters after talks broke down.
Tens of thousands of Hollywood actors are preparing to strike - after talks between their unions and streaming giants broke down just hours before a major deadline. Hollywood has not seen a "double strike" of actors and writers since 1960, and the joint move would see almost all US film and TV productions grind to a halt.

Temperatures are expected to surpass 40C (104F) in parts of Spain, France, Greece, Croatia and Turkey as a heatwave called Ceberus crosses parts of southern Europe and northern Africa. The 91热爆's weather reporter Darren Bett explains what's driving the rising heat and we hear voice messages from those affected. Meanwhile we hear a conversation between three doctors, one based in Australia, one in India and one in France about how they treat heat-related conditions and whether they've seen a change in the number of people treated with them in recent years.
The bodies of 87 people allegedly killed by the Rapid Support Forces in Sudan have been found in a mass grave, according to the United Nations. The 91热爆's Kalkidan Yibeltal updates us on the latest.
