this is bbc news, i'm simon mccoy. the headlines at 6pm. the prime minister says he's marginally more optimistic about striking a brexit deal, after meeting with g7 leaders in france. but it's the job of everyone in parliament to deliver on time. i think people have just about had enough of this conversation and i think they are yearning fora moment when brexit comes and i think they are yearning for a moment when brexit comes off the front pages. but that can only happen when we come out of the eu on 31st october. leaders at the summit pledge £18 million to help tackle the devastating fires in the amazon rainforest. the largest earthquake thought to be caused by a fracking site in the uk, has been felt in lancashire. a 14—year—old boy has been arrested in connection with a fire overnight at a high school in dunfermline. the prime minister tells the bbc to ‘cough up‘ and pay for tv licences for all over 75s, notjust those on low incomes.

and, record—breaking weather, the hottest late august bank holiday sees temperatures hit 33 degrees celsius. the prime minister borisjohnson has said he is "marginally more optimistic", on the chances of clinching a deal brexit deal with the eu, after talks at the g7 this weekend, but admitted it would be difficult. boris johnson was speaking at a news conference, in biarritz, in france, following this weekend's g7 summit, where he also rebuted the suggestion that president trump believes a no—deal brexit scenario is now the most likely option. i didn't hear the president say exactly that he thought it would be a no—deal brexit. i think what i heard him say what was that the eu were tough

negotiators. that is true, but then so are the americans and so are the australians and new zealand, and everybody, everyone is a tough negotiator. you're a pretty tough negotiator, i expect. so, look, but that doesn't mean we won't do a deal. and we're working very hard do that. it will will be difficult, there is a substantial disagreement. but myjob is to make every case. you know what our case is. the backstop is anti—democratic, it keeps the uk locked in the eu's customs arrangement. it keeps us locked in the legal order of the eu without the ability to influence those things. it has got to come out, it has got to change, i have made that point very, very clearly to our friends. i really think that point has now landed. so let's see where we get. and i hope that friends and colleagues in parliament will be supportive of our efforts to get this thing done, to get rid

of the old withdrawal agreement, and do a much, much better deal, that's what we need to do. borisjohnson also reiterated his determination to stop labour leader jeremy corbyn, with his efforts of becoming a caretaker prime minister. i, one of my missions in life is to, my many missions in life, is to protect the people of this country from the appalling consequences of a labour government. and it is clear from whatjeremy corbyn has now said, not only if he were in power, would he put up taxes, on virtually everything, from income to pensions, to inheritance to property. not only would he align himself with some of this country's most intractable and difficult foes. but he would also, he would also renege, reject, revoke the mandate of the people. and i cannot think of anything worse for democracy or for trust in politics.

also at the summit, international leaders agreed to provide logistical and financial support to help fight fires in the amazon rainforest. borisjohnson announced £10 million of funding to protect and restore the amazon rainforest in brazil and pledged an additional £7 million for the blue belt programme to protect the uk's marine ecosystems. we can'tjust sit back as animals and plants are wiped off the face of the planet. the world's animal populations have declined by about 60% in the last 50 years. abouti million species are now facing extinction. we have seen in the amazon rainforest the tragic increase in fires which are made more likely by deforestation. and that is why today i have announced £10 million of new funding to protect and restore the rainforest in brazil. withi million birds and 100,000 mammals losing their lives every year from getting, eating or getting tangled

in ocean plastic. we want to do much more to protect the oceans and today i have announced, we have announced a £7 million blue belt programme to extend our work to protect vital marine ecosystems and conservation areas. meanwhile, french president emmanuel macron has said efforts are being made to arrange a meeting between donald trump and president rouhani of iran. mr macron said it was important to ease tensions in the gulf and work together to prevent tehran developing nuclear weapons. president trump addressed that potential meeting between himself and the iranian leader. i think that iran is a country of tremendous potential. we're not looking for leadership change. for that kind of change. this country has been through that many times before. that doesn't work. we are looking for no nuclear weapons, no ballistic missiles, and a longer period of time. very simple. we can have a done in a very short period of time.

and i really believe that iran can be a great nation. i'd like to see that happen. but they can't have nuclear weapons. 0k? thank you. let's speak to our correspondent at the g7 summit in biarritz. 0ptimism at the g7 summit in biarritz. from donald trump oi things, 0ptimism from donald trump on many things, but is that shared from other leaders? keeping things in perspective, yes, it is. no one is proclaiming any massive breakthroughs on any issue here. but from the very start, present macron downplayed the expectations of the g7. he wants the g7 to rethink its raison d'etre. symbolic of that, is that there is no communique at the end to which all sign up because in the past, as we know, that has led to division. there was no artificial attempt to hammer out a text which

eve ryo ne attempt to hammer out a text which everyone would, in theory, sign up to. and as we saw last time, president trump walked out on. there was a more gentle attempt to nudge people into agreement on things where there was agreement. to emphasise the positive. and in a gentle, modest way, it was very successful. because on a number of issues, not just iran, successful. because on a number of issues, notjust iran, on and trade, the amazon rainforest, on the taxing of the big multinationals, there we re of the big multinationals, there were advances. and above all, we can say that the main music —— mood music, wasi million miles away from canada where president trump refused to sign the community. the language coming from donald trump towards macron was positively honeyed at the end of it all. looking to the next meeting in miami, there is talk of it being a g8, the presence of russia. that is an issue for everybody, isn't it? that is an issue. it came up again here. it was

one of a potential flash points which was smoothed away very delicately by the macron touch. it is an issue, though. president trump has made clear and he made clear this evening in his remarks that as far as he was concerned, he would like to see that amir putin returned to the fold after he was suspended, russia was suspended. —— president putin. agreements or disagreements we re putin. agreements or disagreements were acknowledged but not well done. i think that was the general feeling for the whole of the summit. but yes, at your‘s summit it is quite possible that president trump will be pushing for the readmission of the russians. we willjust have to see. but generally, the positive remarks coming from trump were so striking. he was saying "we have learned so much from the way you

have done this, immanuel. we think you have done a fantasticjob.". it was so you have done a fantasticjob.". it was so positive. there's been a third earthquake in five days at a fracking site in lancashire, the strongest tremor thought to be related to fracking ever to be felt in the uk. the quake struck the preston new road facility near blackpool at 8.30am this morning, measuring a magnitude of 2.9. the british geological survey have plotted the epicentre just metres from the fracking site. our correspondent fiona trott is there. there are normally protesters outside of cuadrilla's site, here. but as you can see, there are many more today. on a normal day, there would be about ten people. today, there must be about 300, maybe 400. let me explain why. this is the latest tremor that people have heard about here. there was one on wednesday, which measured 1.6, at that point fracking was paused for 18 hours. government guidelines say that must happen if there is a tremor over 0.5. which there was.

there was a second tremor on saturday. that measured 2.1. and then we have this tremor that we had here this morning that measured 2.9. now, cuadrilla, which operates this site, say that tremors are expected in this kind of work. what they have said today is they are investigating this and they have confirmed again that no fracking was taking place over the weekend. but what campaigners here today will say is "this latest tremor reinforces our argument that we believe that fracking is risky, it poses a danger to the environment." there are some residents here, too, who say that they felt the effects of the tremor some five miles away. honking. some of them saying that they felt their house shake. of course, all this brings the debate about fracking to the forefront again. you have these concerned residents,

these concerned campaigners here today on the one hand. honking 0n the other hand, you have the government saying that it needs to find alternative sources of energy. protrcated honking. this whole process of injecting water and chemicals deep underground to extract gas or oil may be the way forward. but as you can see, not much support for that here today. we have a statement from a local mp, too. the conservative mp for fylde, mark menzies, and he is calling for a full cessation of the shell and gas industry. he has previously said if it can be extracted safely, and without damage to the environment, the industry should be allowed to operate under a gold standard regime of regulations. but today, he issued a statement saying it is now clear the hydraulic fracturing is not suitable. "i will be writing to ministers and the oil and gas authority, to call for full cessation of the shell gas industry operating on the fylde coast."

in a moment viewers on bbc one willjoin us for a round up of the news with jane hill. a secondary school in fife has been forced to close on the fourth day of scotland's school year because of a large fire. firefighters worked overnight to tackle the blaze at woodmill high school in dunfermline. 0ur scotland correspondent james shaw was at the scene. the first thing we should say is that someone has actually been arrested and charged in connection with this fire — a 14—year—old boy, who we expect to appear in court tomorrow. the police have also said today that they are grateful to the public for the information that they have had on this fire, also for the help that the public have given the firefighters, supporting them overnight. as you can see, although things have calmed down very much now, there's still a very big presence by the fire service. but the fire has been substantially put out, they're still damping down hotspots. so the fire service numbers have reduced somewhat, but i guess what happens now

for them is that they have to really get into the seat of the fire, and perhaps understand exactly how it has been started. that will presumably help the police with their enquiries as well. for the school itself, we're talking about a very large number of pupils, 1400, who should be at the school today, and are currently homeless. dunfermline is an expanding town, its schools are full, so it's quite difficult for the education authority to find alternative places for these children. but that is their top priority. the fact that this is going to cause — as well as damaging their school — this will cause severe disruption to their education.

when we come out of the eu on october the 31st. also, g7 leaders pledge £18 million to help tackle the devastating fires in the amazon rainforest. we'll have the latest live from the g7 meeting. also tonight... protests at a fracking site near blackpool, as the third earthquake in less than a week hits the area. a huge fire engulfs a high school in dumfermline. a 14—year—old boy has been charged.

mosquitoes buzzing how scientists are learning the language of mosquitoes to try to tackle the spread of malaria. and record—breaking weather — the hottest late august bank holiday sees temperatures hit 33 celsius. and coming up on bbc news... johanna konta begins her campaign at the us open as she takes on russia's daria kasatkina. good evening. the prime minister has told european leaders meeting at the g7 summit

in biarritz not to listen to british politicians who say they can stop brexit. he told reporters at the close of the summit that he'd reminded the eu britain will leave on october 31st even if no agreement is reached, and he said "colossal" preparations have been made for a no—deal scenario. also at the summit, leaders agreed measures to try to help deal with the fires in the amazon. we'll hear more about that in a moment. first, our political correspondent vicki young reports on the mood around brexit in biarritz. it's not easy keeping world leaders in line. 0rder, order. boris! 0rder! there are deep divisions over international trade, security and the environment. borisjohnson has used his first summit to reinforce a familiar message on brexit — the uk is leaving with or without a deal at the end of october. and the prime minister doesn't want eu leaders to think that's an empty threat. i think it's time that we in the uk started to think about all the ways

in which we can think of a post—brexit britain, doing things differently and doing things better. taking the opportunities to boost investment in our businesses and our industry, setting up freeports, doing free—trade deals. there are big, big opportunities for this country. prime minister, you've been telling eu leaders not to listen to those mps who say they are going to block a no—deal brexit. how far are you willing to go to stop parliament doing that? i think that this is really a matter for parliamentarians to get right ourselves. we asked the people to vote on whether to stay in or to leave the eu and they voted overwhelmingly, voted substantially, to leave, by a big majority. parliament vowed several times to reflect and respect that mandate. and i think people havejust about had enough of this conversation and they're yearning for the moment when brexit comes off the front pages,

but that can only happen when we come out of the eu on october the 31st. and that is what i really call on all my fellow mps to deliver, and i hope and believe that they will. and mrjohnson is looking ahead to life beyond the eu. congratulations on the ashes! we're not taking anything for granted. two to go. friendly chat with the australian prime minister, despite england's victory in the cricket yesterday. they are hopeful of a trade deal within a year. this weekend has also been about developing ties with donald trump, hoping he'll sign off an ambitious post brexit trade deal. president trump, boris johnson is very keen on a trade deal with the usa. you sound keen on it too. some of his critics, though, are worried that you're going to do over the uk. no, no. i love the uk. i own great property in the uk, i love the uk. i've no idea how my property is doing, because i don't care, but i own turnberry, and i own aberdeen, and i own in ireland, as you know, doonbeg, great stuff.

and i'll be honest with you, i think... i think that... i think he'sjust going to do a greatjob as prime minister. it takes a lot. it's so many different elements to being a great prime minister, and you needed him. ijust think his time is right. this is the right time for boris. downing street thinks boris johnson's first summit has been a success. he's wooed donald trump and there have been friendly words with the eu leaders. they are not expecting an imminent breakthrough on brexit but they do feel borisjohnson has brought a new energy to the whole negotiations. vicki young, bbc news, biarritz. 0ur europe editor katya adler is in biarritz for us. as we have heard, borisjohnson says he thinks eu leaders have finally got the message here, particularly around the issue of the backstop. do you think they have got the message? yes, eu leaders here borisjohnson

loud and clear, he has asked them to get rid of the backstop but the response i am hearing is that if they do that it would mean them abandoning member state ireland, risking the northern ireland peace process , risking the northern ireland peace process, they say, as well as exposing the european single market voluntarily, and for what, eu leaders ask. they are sticking to their position at the door is open to get rid of the backstop if boris johnson can find a credible, immediately operable alternative. he received an invitation here at the g7, just like last week at paris and berlin, saying they are ready to hear him if he has an alternative. in the meantime, we are no further along with the backstop issue than we we re along with the backstop issue than we were months ago when theresa may was prime minister. but something has changed. boris johnson was prime minister. but something has changed. borisjohnson used to be dismissed by many in europe as a bit of a chancer, a populist without a plan, but now eu leaders take him seriously onto serious issues. they do believe him now that he will pursue a no—deal brexit if he doesn't get a new deal with the eu and they also believe him that he would rather leave with a deal. at

this new eu understanding of the prime minister doesn't really bring the two sides any closer to agreement so for now the eu believes agreement so for now the eu believes a no—deal brexit is still the most likely scenario. katya adler, europe editor, thank you. thank you. away from thank you. away from brexit, leaders did manage to agree measures to help tackle the devastating fires in the amazon rainforest. more than £18 million was promised in emergency funding forfirefighting equipment and military assitance. earlier borisjohnson pledged £10 million to help with reforestation. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james landale has this report. the fires raging across the amazon, devastating thousands of acres of ra i nfo rest, devastating thousands of acres of rainforest, prompting global outrage and now at least some global action. at the g7 summit in france, world leaders agreed a package of emergency support for the region. first there will be more money to provide countries in south america with more firefighting aircraft, and in the longer term, further support

to help with reforestation. translation: we will offer immediate financial aid to the amazonian countries who have made their need to know, at least up to 20 million euros, and also concrete support. borisjohnson also promised an additional £10 million, specifically for brazil, to help protect its forests a nd for brazil, to help protect its forests and its biodiversity in the future. but note this, donald trump was not in the room when g7 leaders agreed the plans. the us president has in the past been a sceptic on climate change. president macron insisted the deal had his backing. but there is a limit to what further collective action the leaders here at the g7 could agree. there was no consensus over whether some south american countries should face trade penalties if they fail to act to stop farmers and loggers starting these fires in the first place. some campaigners said the money agreed was not enough. there is a big crisis in the amazon and $20 million

is not going to solve it. this is an emergency response from the g7 leaders, but actually they don't address the root cause of the deforestation in the amazon. for now the fires continue to rage, causing misery for people in south america, and yet more environmental damage for the whole world. james is in biarritz for us now. aside from that topic, it's also emerged that there is a chance president trump might meet the iran president, rouhani. tell us more about that. this is quite an unexpected development. we know the french have been doing a lot of diplomatic work to try to defuse the tensions in the gulf and try to narrow the gap between the united states and iran. but we had no expectation that there was at least the possibility that president trump could meet the iranian president, president rouhani, sometime in the next few weeks, but that is now a

distinct possibility. not definite, but a distinct possibility. it's significant because it's the first time in months, if not years, that there has been at least a chink of light, at least the possibility of a hope that it might be possible to find some way out of what too many people seemed an intractable conflict. in other words, the americans putting huge sanctions on iran and iran causing huge destabilisation in the region. so at least for now, a moment of hope. james landale, thank you. hundreds of people have joined a protest at a fracking site in lancashire, after homes were shaken by the strongest earthquake ever recorded at a british shale gas site. the quake struck the preston new road facility, near blackpool, at 8:30am this morning, measuring a magnitude of 2.9. fiona trott reports. concerned, angry and gaining support. stop cuadrilla, they have no social licence. campaigners here have spent years trying to put a stop

to fracking but today, they'rejoined by a new group of residents. who, this morning, felt the tremor in their own homes. the whole house rocked. i was frightened. i thought, oh, my gosh, this is a real earthquake. or an explosion or something. i've never had the same feeling that my house is in trouble, my home is, my family, pets, everybody is. and it's not ok. on a normal day there would be about ten protesters here. today there have been up to 400. because this is the third and strongest tremor since wednesday. cuadrilla, not for the first time, is trying to put these peoples' minds at rest. i'm sorry if there has been any concern or anxiety created by this. but again i would reiterate, if you look at it in context, the actual scale of the event at 2—3 seconds and the ground motion vibration typically of a construction site, is not something that could possibly or even near to cause harm to people or material damage to property. fracking was suspended

here after the first tremor on wednesday. today's was almost six times as strong as the agreed limit. the operating company cuadrilla has said minor tremors are to be expected during fracking. here's why. the first stage is to drill straight down. the drill is then turned horizontally. water, sand and chemicals are pumped at high pressure into shale rock to release gas. the gas is then brought to the surface, but the process has been linked to earth tremors. today the debate around fracking has intensified and, while the government has given the green light, the local conservative mp is now calling for it to be stopped. fiona trott, bbc news, lancashire. the disgraced hollywood film producer harvey weinstein has appeared in court in new york to deny a new criminal charge. a judge said weinstein's trial for rape and sexual assault, which was due to begin next month,

would now be delayed untiljanuary. police have charged a 14—year—old boy in connection with a fire at a secondary school in fife. firefighters worked overnight to tackle the blaze at woodmill high school in dunfermline. the school has been forced to close just four days into the start of term. our correspondent james shaw reports. this was a substantial fire, which needed 80 firefighters and 15 fire engines to tackle it. they worked in the heat and smoke through a long, hot night. it is a large scale. it is over many levels. it has a number of different buildings constructed in different periods, so therefore firefighters had to find safe ways to hit the fire, to make entry to the building, identify the seat of the fire and then extinguish it. the fire appears to have started in the additional

needs part of the school, but spread quickly. there has been extremely substantial damage to this building. it looks as though a third of the main block has been completely burnt out. the question now, what happens to the 1400 pupils who should be getting their education here? there are a number of options. for the short term, which includes e—learning, and we can ensure that cohorts of pupils are able to access their learning and then, looking at the more medium to longer term about where to house these 1400 pupils. a 14—year—old boy arrested and charged in connection with the fire is expected to appear in court tomorrow. the impact on the education of the 1400 pupils at woodmill high school is hard to judge at this point. but that could be the most important long—term concern after this devastating fire. james shaw, bbc news, dunfermline.

children who go hungry during the school holidays because parents can't afford meals are being trapped in a "cycle of despair", according to charities. a cross—party group of mps estimates 3 million children are at risk of hunger during the summer break. the government says it's spent more than £9 million on schemes to provide meals outside term time. our correspondent judith moritz reports. i think about it 24/7. 24/7. money is on demi's mind all the time, especially when it comes to feeding her son. it's even worse in the summer holidays, when he doesn't get free school meals. so this is a real lifeline. a mini—market at the gateway centre in bradford where you only pay what you can afford. it's about that little boy. i don't need to eat.

my son does. i don't want to bury my son. have you ever had to go without food so he can eat? i don't eat at all. why is that? because my son comes first. i don't need to, it's not about me. i've lived my life. he's only six years old. how old are you, demi? 25. it's not about me. i'm a mother. all right, guys, who want sandwiches? the centre has seen a surge in demand this summer. for families who can't afford a holiday, this is the next best thing. packed lunches for 50p. and a couple of coaches to take them off the estate and to the seaside for the day. welcome to blackpool! this is the only chance for some on the trip to experience anything like a summer holiday. they've got their children at home, they're not getting their free school meals so they've got to find extra money to feed them. and a luxury like a day

out at blackpool? that is an absolute luxury, that would not happen. you know, most of the children, if you ask them where they've been, a lot of them have not even been off the estate. the six weeks holidays is a case of, what are we going to do with the kids? how can we afford it? even for working families it's difficult. dad david has a full—time job, but they still struggle to get by. is this your summer holiday? yeah, this is our summer holiday, it's our day away to relax and sort of get away from things. we barely buy anything for ourselves, clothes—wise, unless we absolutely need it. it all goes towards the kids. we've been lucky this last year, a lot of family and friends have donated clothes, school clothes for them, so that so little money we don't have to spend right now. back at the centre, every family is offered a free meal every day of the holidays. vital for parents who are forced to make stark choices. basically, my gas and electric are getting paid and i'm putting food in my cupboards but everything

else isjust on hold, i'll have to catch up after the holidays. it's taken courage for these families to talk about something so personal. but they speak from the heart to make people understand how hard it is. walk in our shoes. walk in our shoes and then you will know what it's like. judith moritz, bbc news, bradford. bolton wanderers‘ future as an english football league team has been thrown into further doubt, as the latest rescue deal collapsed. the league one club has been set a deadline of 5:00pm tomorrow to convince the efl they can stay in business. here's our sports correspondent andy swiss. newsreel: he charges in and there's bolton's second goal! it is one of england's oldest and most historic clubs. bolton wanderers have scored the fourth cup victory of their history. fa cup winners, premier league regulars until recently, but how times change. this year has seen bolton fans

protesting against their owners, with the club mired in financial problems, and now it's on the brink. a takeover has collapsed and, barring developments, administrators say they will start closing it down this week. fans are fearing the worst. it would just be so, so sad that a club with this long—standing history, one of the founding clubs in the league, would just cease to exist. i've been a fan my whole life. ijust can't imagine that happening, and nor can anybody else. but if these people don't do the right thing, that's where this is headed. here at bolton it's already been a pretty challenging season. they've had to field mainly youth team players, their manager has just resigned, and they've lost their last two matches 5—0. but it seems the crisis here could get even worse. one of the club's greatest goal scorers, like the fans, can only wait and hope. it's got to the stage now

where frustration has taken over, it really is. and you feel so sorry for the supporters that back this club to the hilt. they just want to see something happen. and bolton's not the only club fighting for its survival. tomorrow is also bury‘s deadline to complete their sale, or potentially face expulsion from the football league. for two clubs with between them, centuries of history, a pivotal 24 hours. andy swiss, bbc news, bolton. the political advertising executive tim bell, who was instrumental in margaret thatcher's general election victories, has died at the age of 77. lord bell founded the public relations firm bell pottinger, which went into administration in 2017. he was responsible for the famous "labour isn't working" poster in 1978, which is seen as having made a key contribution to the conservative party election win the following year. scientists say a vast raft of volcanic rocks, stretching over 58 square miles,

is drifting through the pacific ocean. the sea of pumice — the size of 20,000 football fields — was first reported by australian sailors. it's believed to have come from an underwater volcano near tonga which erupted earlier this month. the buzz of a mosquito is a familiar sound at this time of year, and researchers in london are studying it, to learn how the bugs communicate with each other. the team hopes that will allow them to develop systems to lure mosquitoes away from populated areas, or design devices to catch and kill them, helping to reduce the spread of malaria and yellow fever. our science correspondent, pallab ghosh, has more details.

for us, the whining sound is annoying, but for the mosquito, it's a love song. the buzz helps the insects find mates and reproduce. so, what if we could learn to talk mosquito and sabotage their love lives? malaria and yellow fever is spread through mosquito bites. the vast majority of cases are in africa. in 2017, 200 million people had malaria and nearly 500,000 of them died. one way to defeat mosquito—borne diseases is to turn their buzz against them. for me, it is a sound of utter sophistication. if we could simulate these sounds and use them for new technological devices to perform the attraction of mosquitoes, to lure them away from the sites where they can transmit disease, for example from populations, from households, or also to catch them, kill them, so catch and kill devices could be designed, which are much more effective than the ones we are using right now. the mosquitoes‘ buzz is created by the insects‘ wings. this is the sound of the female on the left. buzzing

look closely and you can see that her wing beat is slower than the male‘s and that is why the male‘s tone is slightly higher. in a breeding swarm, there are around 500 mosquitoes all buzzing away. just five of them are female and somehow the males can hear and find them. mosquitoes can be lured away from populated areas. this swarm of males can be attracted by the buzz of a female. simulated mosquito buzzing unfortunately, these audio techniques don‘t work on females, which are the ones that carry and spread malaria and yellow fever. so, in order to improve these audio traps, the researchers here want to learn more about how mosquitoes communicate. if we magnify this mosquito‘s hearing antenna, we can see how it opens up at sunset when it‘s time to swarm. marta anders is studying how it detects the sound of potential mates so that she can find ways of disrupting the process.

the mosquitoes use their hearing to detect mating partners. we are trying to find new ways to stop mosquitoes from hearing, using different drugs that then can be applied in the field to stop the mosquito populations from reproducing and try to collapse them. by disrupting their communications, the researchers believe that eventually they can rid millions from the menace of mosquitoes forever. pallab ghosh, bbc news. it‘s official. this has been the hottest late august bank holiday on record — though it is not a holiday in scotland. temperatures rose to more than 33 celsius in west london, beating the previous record of 28 degrees two years ago. richard lister has more details. it‘s europe‘s biggest street party, and this year the notting hill carnival was hotter than ever. over the past two days over a million people danced their way through temperatures in the 30s.

officially, today‘s temperature record was broken rather more quietly here at tibenham in norfolk. the thermometer here hit 28.6 celsius. in frinton and nearby resorts in essex, beach—goers were undeterred by a possible contamination issue that made 150 people seek medical attention yesterday after swimming in the sea. today they couldn‘t get enough of it. fantastic, yes. i've never been here before, so... yes, in england. there was loads of space on the beach. just a gorgeous day. the official advice on a stretch of coast is still don‘t go in the water because of the contamination scale but you can see how much notice people are taking of that. with no problems reported, most people in frinton are more concerned about staying cool. these lake swimmers had the same thought in bradford. the temperatures were not record—breaking everywhere in the uk, but hot enough.

and just what the organisers of the reith show in north yorkshire had been hoping for. a prize—winning bank holiday monday. around the country people made the most of the last public holiday before christmas. from sand castles in sunderland, to ice skates in —— to in regent‘s park in london where for some sun—seekers it was a little bit too hot. it is a day that ended with sunburn for some and plenty of sand in the car, too, but bank holidays don‘t get much better, or hotter, than this. richard lister, bbc news, frinton on sea. is it going to last? here‘s phil avery. more pictures of people enjoying themselves at the seaside. so many people are followed the tradition and headed for the coast. it looks as though the 33.3 celsius. , although the figures are not com pletely although the figures are not completely in as we speak. it is not
