Pascale Harter introduces stories from the USA, Canada, Cambodia and Nigeria.

The wildfires in LA have left some neighbourhoods almost entirely burned to the ground, and thousands of families counting their losses. While reporting on the blazes, David Willis was alerted that his own home was in the path of the flames and subject to an evacuation order.

Justin Trudeau was once a poster boy for progressive politics around the world. More recently, he's faced criticism from within his own Liberal Party, mockery in the Canadian press and harsh words from Canadian voters. Neal Razzell traces how the nation fell out of love with its Prime Minister.

The dazzling ancient temple complex of Angkor Wat is a jewel of Cambodia's cultural heritage and draws millions of visitors each year.

Jill McGivering talks to some of the people claiming Cambodian authorities have driven them out.

Lagos might be a vibrant megacity, but not many people would call it a hotspot for nature. But on a recent visit to Nigeria, Kirsty Lang met one man who's set up a green haven there: a sanctuary for wildlife, built from recycled materials, that tries to educate schoolchildren about the environment and rescue endangered animals from the city's wet markets.
