The daughter of a French man found guilty in a mass rape trial has told the BBC she hopes he dies in prison. Caroline Darian said she'd been shocked when she learned that her father had repeatedly drugged and raped her mother and encouraged other men to sexually assault her. Also on the programme: emergency teams in Los Angeles have made progress in tackling wildfires which have killed eleven people, but more evacuation orders have been issued; and Sam Moore, one half of the legendary soul duo, Sam and Dave, has died at the age of 89.

Hello and welcome to NewsHour from the BBC World Service.
Coming to you live from London, I'm James Kamarasamy.
It was the biggest rape trial in French history.
Giselle Pelicault, the wife, mother and grandmother who waived her right to be anonymous and became a global icon.
And Dominique Pellicot, the man found guilty of drugging and raping his wife and inviting 50 men into their home to abuse Giselle while she slept.
Caroline Darion is the daughter of Dominique and Giselle Pellicot.
She stood alongside her mother in court and faced down her father.
She believes that her father drugged her and she believes he assaulted her.
She has written a book called I'll Never Call him dad again.
The BBC's Emma Barnett has been talking to Caroline Darien, her first broadcast interview since the trial, and she asked her about the sentence given to her father.
And just to let you know before you listen to the interview, it does deal with the theme of sexual abuse.
He was found guilty.
It took 20 years, but he already done, you know, four years in jail.
But I'm not sure, you know, the verdict, the final verdict was, you know, what I was expected.
So you don't think your father's sentence was long enough?
My father's sentence is.
Is the right sentence, but I'm more talking about the other people.
The majority of them only took between three, ten years.
To me, it's not enough.
