the days before it? have you think this changes the dynamic in terms of what he can say to president biden and what he can say now obviously to kamala harris who is upping to be president paris.— president paris. well, you are riaht, president paris. well, you are right. no _ president paris. well, you are right. no one _ president paris. well, you are right, no one could've - president paris. well, you are l right, no one could've protected this. netanyahu may have seen some of the signs with domestic politics over here, but now the dynamics have to believe shifted. as biden said in his letter posted to twitter on sunday, a large part ofjust staying in office for the next six months about his legacy and a huge part of thatis about his legacy and a huge part of that is foreign policy. and the focus of this is the war in gaza, and now biden is going to be wanting to come to at least a cease—fire deal as quickly as possible. on the other side, deal as quickly as possible. on the otherside, netanyahu deal as quickly as possible. on the other side, netanyahu could be putting pressure on him, trying to get more at a biden because he knows he wants to get a deal done before the election because ultimately this is going to have a huge impact on kamala harris because a large faction of the democratic party over here are very angry with the white house and how they've dealt with attenuation in gaza. so the meeting was still going to be high—stakes,

but the last week or so in us politics has made it incredibly different, but still massively important and we will see in the next few hours whether they have come to any sort of agreement or made any progress.— made any progress. claire, we're 'ust made any progress. claire, we're just watching _ made any progress. claire, we're just watching the _ made any progress. claire, we're just watching the door _ made any progress. claire, we're just watching the door there - made any progress. claire, we're just watching the door there of l made any progress. claire, we're i just watching the door there of the white house to see whether kamala harris and from her netanyahu emerge from that door. we know they are having a meeting in they may be having a meeting in they may be having that meeting at the moment. that is an externally instant conversation that we would like to on the inside of the room for. indeed, and is your reporter said, we don't — indeed, and is your reporter said, we don't know too much about harris's — we don't know too much about harris's on _ we don't know too much about harris's on views what we have to assume _ harris's on views what we have to assume that she, like everybody involved — assume that she, like everybody involved in — assume that she, like everybody involved in that conversation, it will be — involved in that conversation, it will be wanting to advance some practical— will be wanting to advance some practical solutions towards an ending — practical solutions towards an ending of this deadly conflict, and that has— ending of this deadly conflict, and that has to start with the agreement with hamas with release of hostage and that _ with hamas with release of hostage and that is— with hamas with release of hostage and that is clearly going to be the

because there is 20 more we would be talking about the fact that the record for the world's caught a state has tumbled twice in just one week. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

you're watching the context on bbc news. it's no secret that our planet is warming, and warming rapidly. but if you needed another example of that, here it is. the record for the world's hottest day has tumbled twice in one week. on sunday, the global average surface air temperature reached a record high 17.09 degrees celsius, beating the record set injuly last year, but it didn't last long. on monday, the temperature hit 17.15 degrees celsius, breaking the record set on sunday. and it could fall again this week with major heatwaves

hitting the mediterranean, russia and canada, where authorities are battling more than 170 wildfires in the jasper national park. hundreds of buildings have been destroyed, and huge swathes of the national park have been wiped out. the un secretary—general has said the planet is clearly becoming more dangerous. extreme temperatures are no longer a one—day, one—week or one—month phenomenon. if there is one thing that unites our divided world, it's that we are all increasingly feeling the heat. joining me now is the director of icarus climate research centre, professor peter thorne. thank you so much forjoining us here on bbc news. we seem to see climate records tumble regularly.

views, but it's going to be a massive, massive part of the election because it's a huge part of biden possum at legacy and it's one he really want to make sure that his vice president will take onto the next administration if he does when in november. next administration if he does when in november-— in november. really interesting, so thinkin: in november. really interesting, so thinking that _ in november. really interesting, so thinking that climate _ in november. really interesting, so thinking that climate will— in november. really interesting, so thinking that climate will be - in november. really interesting, so thinking that climate will be a - in november. really interesting, so thinking that climate will be a part i thinking that climate will be a part may be of the election in the us and the way the perhaps it was not here in the uk. ~ ~ ., in the uk. well, i think that it will be amplified _ in the uk. well, i think that it will be amplified much - in the uk. well, i think that it will be amplified much more | in the uk. well, ithinkthat it - will be amplified much more because there is going to be such a contrasting view on it. and because it is impacting 70 people across the country. for example, look at las vegas. it was early this week 114 degrees in las vegas, which is 45 celsius. notwithstanding the terrible wildfires that are happening in the pacific northwest in canada, this is impacting people on an everyday basis with the people in las vegas, they live there and i was going to very hot but now they are saying they cannot go outside until it's 10pm are saying they cannot go outside until it's10pm in are saying they cannot go outside until it's 10pm in the evening. so it's if the people every day and so they are going to be listening to what each side has to say. there be some people who think some of the

climate arguments from the body administration are nonsense, and on the other side people will say that trump public attacks on policies are not credible. so it's going to be interesting to see how it plays out and nothing is going to be one of theissues and nothing is going to be one of the issues very sniffly that will be in the forefront of voters minds. fascinating. just want to give the last word to professor at from the climate research centre. professor, i'm sure you are talking about these issues for a very long time and highlighting the reports and talking about climate change. do you get the sense that politicians are listening?— sense that politicians are listeninu? ., . ., , listening? politicians are certainly listeninu. listening? politicians are certainly listening. there's _ listening? politicians are certainly listening. there's a _ listening? politicians are certainly listening. there's a lot _ listening? politicians are certainly listening. there's a lot of - listening. there's a lot of ambition. 0nce lacking really is a necessary— ambition. 0nce lacking really is a necessary action. this is not all on government. governments undoubtedly have to _ government. governments undoubtedly have to leave ultimately attend a communities in individuals and downed — communities in individuals and downed each and every one of us. and how downed each and every one of us. how urgently downed each and every one of us. fific how urgently does something downed each and every one of us. 2.1c how urgently does something need to be done? if

series of difficult questions and getting answers to all of them, unfortunately we cannot share the content of those questions and answers, but what we did find by the end of the meeting, which was productive and honest, that we feel probably more optimistic then we have since the first round of releases in late november, early december... d0 releases in late november, early december---_ releases in late november, early december... , , ., december... do stay with us here on bbc news- — hello there, good evening. the air still muggy and humid throughout today, lots of moisture in it, some misty, murky conditions, lots of low cloud, particularly towards western—facing coasts and hills. some sunny spells at times, most of those to the east of high ground, but the sunshine tomorrow will be a lot more abundant — the air feeling fresher and less humid still. the chance, though, of some showers, particularly in the north and the west, and that change is going to happen overnight. tonight, we'll see these

weather fronts push further southwards and eastwards. the skies will largely clear. still some showers in the far north and the west, but it's a cooler start to the day tomorrow and it should be a brighter one as well. so, not quite so much cloud around tomorrow, much more in the way of sunshine — this time from the word go for most of us. there will still be some showers pushing eastwards on that westerly wind across scotland, northern ireland, perhaps northern england, to a few more isolated showers across wales and the far southwest of england. some of those showers could potentially be heavy, but the further south and east you are, then the drier your day is likely to be. and in the best of the sunshine, of course, the temperatures will react — 19—23 celsius north to south, butjust a different feel to things. and it changes again on saturday. high pressure tries to build in, but there's a weather front out towards the west that's pushing eastwards, bringing with it some cloud and some showery outbreaks of rain across northern ireland, through western wales, the north of england, some of the showers possibly sharp, and there'll also be some showers across much of scotland, too.

but again, across east anglia, perhaps the southeast of england, it could stay largely dry and temperatures here will rise to 22 or 23 degrees, but of course it will feel cooler underneath the layers of cloud. we're much more likely to see a dry day across the board on sunday. that's because high pressure will be building in from the azores. always more cloud towards the north and the west, and there will be some areas of cloud, i think, bubbling up here and there as we head through the afternoon, but some decently long, sunny spells and temperatures more widely will peak in the low 20s. i think we could get the mid 20s, perhaps across london and the south east as we head through sunday. and those temperatures in the south and the east of england in particular, will start to rise, perhaps to the high 20s into monday and tuesday. more sunshine, too, across wales, the mid 20s here, but further north and west, it's cooler with a chance of some showers. bye— bye.

you're watching the context on bbc news. the cybersecurity company whose software update on friday affected 8.5 million computers worldwide is facing fresh backlash after giving staff and firms they work with a $10 ubereats voucher to say sorry.

now, whilst we have been on air, a new documentary has been broadcasting here in the uk featuring prince harry. it's the first time the duke of sussex has spoken publically since winning his legal case against mirror group newspapers in december. in trailers for the documentary, prince harry suggests that his legal battle with the tabloid press became a "central piece" in the ongoing rift with his family. joining us now is royal expert victoria howard. so it started roughly half an hour ago. what have you heard? what is the sense that we've been getting from prince harry? so the sense that we've been getting from prince harry?— the sense that we've been getting from prince harry? so prince harry features in — from prince harry? so prince harry features in this _ from prince harry? so prince harry features in this documentary - features in this documentary alongside many others who claim to be victims of phone hacking and are going through this legal process. what we have heard in the half hour that has aired so far is that this really was for him a difficult

period. he looks back at some of the
