Attacks on police posts, churches and a synagogue in Russia's North Caucasus republic of Dagestan have left 20 people dead, most of them police officers. Five gunmen were also killed. Three days of mourning have been declared in Dagestan, a predominantly Muslim republic in southern Russia which neighbours Chechnya. We get the latest from the 麻豆社's Vitaly Shevchenko.

Saudi Arabia says at least 1,301 people have died during Hajj, the annual pilgrimage made by Muslims to the holy city of Mecca. According to the official Saudi news agency those who died were mostly unauthorised pilgrims who walked long distances during a heatwave, with temperatures at times exceeding 50C (122F). We get the latest on the situation and speak to someone who helps people get ready for the pilgrimage.

And we hear from the mother of 13 year-old Orun Knowlson who has severe epilepsy. He has now become the first person in the world to have a device fitted in his skull to control his seizures.
