Wildfires around the world are becoming more and more frequent and intense. We join firefighters on the ground in southern France and hear what they're doing to tackle the problem from a 45m high tower right in the heart of the Landes du Medoc forest. We speak to the head of the region's fire brigade and a volunteer fireman. Also in the programme, as demonstrators protest in Hong Kong for the eleventh week in a row, we hear how this has affected its economy and businesses. We speak to businessman Victor who runs a video production company there. And we ask Eleanor Olcott, from the research firm TS Lombard, whether the territory is at risk of recession because of the protests.
