elsewhere, really heating up over in britain. borisjohnson vowed to deliver brexit by the sist of october, but the eu has already brushed off his demand to re—nogatiate the backstop reached with theresa may. the daily express says: let's stay with the uk's new prime minister. borisjohnson spoke yesterday as pm for the first time in the house of commons. the independent headlines with: we will look into that one in a little. the german faz headlines with: ‘the eu commission is sueing hungary over asylum law'. i don't speak german, i've had that translated for me! the hungarian government is in breach of the eu charter over the so—called ‘stop soros‘ law that criminalises asylum seekers. the wall streetjournal

says amazon's streak of record profit ends. the retailer is currently facing higher shopping costs over its one—day shipping service. so let's begin. alpesh patel is here. i know will have lots to say. so much. let's start with the meltdown and the heatwave across europe stop the record temperatures right across the place, record temperatures in germany and unbelievable temperatures in paris as well and here we had the hottest day so far this year ‘s. we didn't hear the all—time peak but still unbelievable and lots of people asking who is to blame. climate change, do you agree? don't let the skin colour of me full you, it was painfulfor us brown people as well. we weren't feeling the protection! let's go to a good source about what might be to blame, nasa. well—respected scientists, american, despite what their

president believes about global warming. and if you go to the nasa website on global warming, they can tell you, for the last 1500 years, they have measured it through rock formations, carbon dioxide has skyrocketed in since the 1950s and it is the main component of... it could cause extinction events. when it comes from nasa, i'm really prone to believe it, as opposed to it's a bit warm today, isn't it, which is what others tend to do. it's a problem being ignored by the american government. guess which are the three largest polluters in the world ? the three largest polluters in the world? america, the eu and china. china and the eu, signatories to the paris agreement to reduce emissions, are doing something about it america, you need to listen to your own scientists. words echoed by the met office and they conducted a study last year i

believe that found in the uk, you are 30 times more likely to experience it waves compared to 1970 because of the higher concentration of carbon gas. my of carbon gas. my worry is it is happening a lot quicker than we are being told and it's a lot worse. it is being mis— measured or either there's a bunch of people who have economic reasons to deny its existence. i saw one tweet that was interesting yesterday saying, is it the hottest day of the year so far or is it the coolest day of the next 100 years? certainly food for thought. let's turn up the heat on british politics, because the british prime minister, borisjohnson, politics, because the british prime minister, boris johnson, on politics, because the british prime minister, borisjohnson, on his first full day in the house of commons, apparently, according to the express, on a collision course with brussels over brexit. inevitable, wasn't it? i was smiling because in parliament yesterday he was on fire, wiping the floor with everyone who was asking him what would otherwise be difficult questions. certainly

lively. lively and entertaining and inspiring. idid lively. lively and entertaining and inspiring. i did a sales talk after and asa inspiring. i did a sales talk after and as a businessman i was more inspired and confident. how come? he has been criticised for arm waving and being domestic and all the rest of it, and light on detail, but i don't think he is, there's a whole bunch of civil servants who are fixed on the detail and we'll talk about immigration detail in a second and eu plans. but without that first step of being positive about the country, you know what he said? he said this is an exceptional country and could be one of the greatest in the world. no, no, let'sjust be pessimistic and have the british disease of being negative and talking ourselves into negativity. you have to start with that because that's what inspires business people, who then hire people... we had more sales yesterday than in quite a while, partly because i was alljeered up when i did the sales conference and we had more exports asa conference and we had more exports as a result. that's not a barometer for the rest of the country and

pessimistic people out there will tweet me saying i'm suicidal. it's important to be optimistic.” tweet me saying i'm suicidal. it's important to be optimistic. i agree, but let's take sentiment out of this for a moment. he does say things that appear to contravene certain rules and regulations and laws. for example, he reiterated the idea that the uk could withhold its divorce bill, the £39 billion worth, if they no deal was forthcoming. the attorney general, the official legal advice to the government, is that that is not right. you can't make claims like that on your thursday in the house of commons? you can, as a barrister i can tell you 50% of all cases end up with one barrister being right and the other being wrong. like the referendum, an act of god like that, and you are a sovereign state on top of it, you are well within your rights to say, actually, the agreement gets thrown out of the water, as it were.

you talked about the migration issue and so did the guardian. boris johnson saying no—one believes more strongly than me of the benefits of migration to our country, very much ripping up theresa may's plans for immigration post exit and suggesting we adopt this australian points —based system. this already exists for people coming in from outside the eu, and at the time it was criticised by theresa may as being too lax. is this the kind of immigration policy that people who voted for brexit on the basis of curbs for immigration will respect? let me tell you why this is good, regardless of whether brexiteers wa nted regardless of whether brexiteers wanted more migration or whether the extreme right wanted it or parts of the tory party... by the way, the home secretary, i've been supporting her since pre—2010, when she became an mp, so i declare an interest, but i'll tell you why this is good for

britain. i looked at the oxford university data for immigrants. i will look at indian immigration, like me, born of an immigrant from india, more likely to pay tax and work in the nhs and have higher school grades and less likely to be involved in crime and less likely to rely on social services. you want people more from indian origins, more people like me, without wanting to sound arrogant. economically you're more likely to add to this country. we are only 60 million, we need more entrepreneurs and workers and talented people. the australian —based point system is about opening the doors to the most talented and best in the world, which is what we wa nt best in the world, which is what we want at this stage in economic development. it is vital. want at this stage in economic development. it is vitalli want at this stage in economic development. it is vital. i love your passion! i love your passion! breathe! have some water!” your passion! i love your passion! breathe! have some water! i work for the department of industrial trade global programme, we go searching for the best entrepreneurs around the world. they want to come here

not for social services but because they know they can succeed and add to the economic value of this country and create jobs and pay taxes. thank you for the water! let me ask you about what you make from the german press about brussels opening up legal proceedings over this law in hungary that makes it a crime to help an individual or a government organisation to help asylu m government organisation to help asylum seekers and to help migrants. the anti— sorrow ‘s law. soros is jewish, let me be clear, the hungarian government is being anti—semitic. it's not just hungarian government is being anti—semitic. it's notjust because they are criticising jewish people, that would be enough, cnn reported 4296 that would be enough, cnn reported 42% of hungarians saying the dues have too much power. that's a direct definition of anti—semitism —— jewish people. the eu fundamental rights agency, part of the eu, say there's been over a 70% increase in there's been over a 70% increase in the eu of anti—semitism. the data

speaks for itself. we have problems with hindu temples attacked in the uk, for instance. i don't want to identify one religious group, it's a broader antireligious aspect and more immigration will help reduce this, not increase it. we are not going to pander to the racists and the anti—semitic ‘s and the islamophobic and all the rest of it. what we're going to say is we add value and if you can't see it then you go somewhere value and if you can't see it then you go somewhere else. thank you very much, alpesh patel. hungary has a whole border of steel fences on the southern border. interesting to see what happens here and interesting to see if those laws contravene the european court of human rights. thanks very much and great to see you as always. stay with us on bbc news, so much more to come.

when weather makes news, it's really a good thing. and after the extreme heat of thursday, the thunderstorms that followed caused a few problems. it's a new ukjuly record, the all—time record avoided by a few tenths of a degree. not sure that made any difference to the sheer unpleasa ntness of trying to get out and about in heat like this, where it's been so hot. friday is going to be cooler and this weather front moving through will cool things further into the weekend, but bring for some of us heavy rain as we will see in a moment. now, still a few thunderstorms perhaps effecting easternmost areas as friday begins. they're slightly pulling away out into the north sea. for many, friday's going to start dry. but it is very warm and humid still across eastern parts in particular. some spots won't have gone below the low 20s. for many of us, friday will be a day of broken cloud and the chance of catching a shower. and still perhaps a few thundery ones popping up towards eastern england. remember that weather front? it's this area of cloud, and not a huge amount of rain on it so far, though that's

going to change. and although it's not as hot as where it's been so exceptionally hot, there's still heat out there. parts of eastern england and northern scotland were getting near 30 celsius. now, as we go on through friday evening and into the night, remember that weather front — the area of rain along — it will gradually expand and turn heavy through parts of northern, central and eastern england, with parts of eastern scotland as well. and that is a sign of things to come for the weekend. now that hangs around in places. and gradually, notjust by day, but by night as well, those temperatures are starting to come down. so this is the big picture for the weekend, dominated by this weather front. now there's still something to play for on where exactly it's going to be sitting, but it is across parts of eastern and scotland that will see that rain, and some of that is going to be heavy, potentially disruptive as well. we think particularly through parts of northern england and southern scotland, the higher parts of the pennines into the north york moors, for example, could amass around about 100 millimetres of rain by the time it's said and done. the driest weather over the weekend looks to be towards northern ireland, wales and the south—west.

this is our — then saturday is shaping up, and look at these temperatures. much, much more comfortable. and then as we look into sunday, what you'll still have that weather front, again, it may not be exactly where it's looking here, but through parts of scotland, northern and eastern england, still keeping much of wales and the south—west of northern ireland away from that. and bar the odd shower, it will be dry with a mix of cloud and sunshine. and again, those temperatures are much, much more comfortable. that's your latest forecast.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: record breaking heat brings chaos on the railways. the disruption looks set to continue, even as the temperature falls. exceptional heat to replace by something much fresher. borisjohnson says his plan to recruit 20,000 extra police officers will begin within weeks. a drug hailed by doctors as a major advance in treating ovarian cancer, becomes available on the nhs.
