The episode discusses US control of the Strait of Hormuz, community efforts during wildfires, and the business aspects of the World Cup semi-final.

Trump says the US will take control of the Strait of Hormuz - we look at how that works. As firefighters continue to tackle wildfires across England and Wales we hear from one landlord doing his bit to help - along with the evacuee he's taken in. And ahead of England playing in the World Cup semi-final Sean Farrington revisits the business of big screens.
