in british columbia, where the temperature reached 46.6 celsius — that's 116 fahrenheit. the cause is this band of high pressure stretching from california right up through canada's arctic territories, inland through idaho and utah. the "heat dome" acts like a lid on a cooking pot and has set records in many other areas. but not everyone is cooling off in the water. the elderly and vulnerable are at risk. the us and canada have both warned citizens of "dangerous" heat levels that could persist this week. let's hear what it's been like for people in seattle. i mean, normally, it's probably like... maybe 60, 70 degrees is a great day, everybody�*s outside in shorts and t—shirts, but this is ridiculous. ifeel like i'm in the desert or something. it's hot. i mean, you just stand around, and you're like... you can't breathe, it's so hot, at least for me. definitely have to wear shoes. yeah, yeah, the pavement, even grass, you're just like, "whew!

no thank you! go back inside!" "go back inside" is about right. so that's the us. neighbouring canada is experiencing intense heat — 15 degrees hotter than usual. in coastal vancouver, temperatures peaked at 31 degrees and many people headed to the beach. here's a climatologist from canada's department for environment and climate change on why this is unusual. this is june. i mean, the dog days of summer don't usually come until late july and august, so it's early, particularly in british columbia, it's spreading really right up from the arctic circle down to california, the desert southwest, and it's the duration of it. it's not a one—day wonder. my gosh, this is like a three, four, a week—long heat wave. and as you get longer, it can cause more health issues. people can stand one day of it, but they can't seven days of it. and so people are... it's taking a toll on people. here's isabella velicogna, professor of earth system science at the university of california in irvine. she told me a short time ago that people are finding it hard to adapt to the high temperatures. we're lucky enough in irvine because we're along the coast, and so we have the breeze, as you can see,

and so the temperature here is about 26 degrees. but if you move towards the interior, it's going to get much higher temperatures. right. do stay where you are, then. we can see that breeze! how are people having to adapt to this? i do think that, first, it's a big deal having this change in temperature, especially because we are observing in places where temperatures have now reached just very high levels so early, and even never, as you said. portland, this is a record over the past almost 80 years, so it's just... it's like a big change. that's an impact... inaudible elderly people...

you have to be careful to be in an air conditioned environment and try to adjust. professor isabella velicogna there. 0nto other news. another body has been found in the rubble of a collapsed miami, florida apartment building. 151 people are still missing, with 11 now confirmed to have died in thursday's disaster. rescue crews have been using cranes, dogs and infrared scanners to help identify any survivors. the bbc�*s sophie long is at the scene. well, you can see the rescue operation continuing behind me. it is in day five now. search and rescue teams during that time have been using dogs, they've been using drones, sonars and infrared scanners, and they've yet to find any sign of life since the first survivors were pulled from the wreckage in the hours immediately after the collapse. now, we are told by the authorities that it remains very much a search and rescue operation and it will continue

to be that indefinitely, but while there is still hope that there could be people alive in there, it will be a painstakingly slow operation. they have large cranes lifting big slabs of concrete away from the twisted metal, but they have to be extremely careful so they don't dislodge anything else. now, this is an agonising time for the families of those who lived in those apartments. some of them have been brought here by bus so they could be closer to the operation. some said prayers, others held a vigil, but it also gave them a better understanding of the operation that is taking place. but they are, of course, desperate for news, notjust for news of their loved ones but also for answers about how this possibly could have happened. sophie long in miami. an update now on monday's action at euro 2020, where we saw the upset of the term and so far. the reigning world champions france

union, in the wake of a continuing row over the arrest of the opposition journalist roman protasevich. the move comes after the eu announced trade sanctions on parts of the belarus economy. belarus has recalled its ambassador to the eu for consulations. the united states says it has carried out air strikes against iranian—backed militias in iraq and syria in retaliation for drone attacks on us personnel and facilities in iraq. iraqi border guards say at least four militiamen were killed. in response, us forces in syria were targeted by multiple rockets, but no injuries were reported. it's not possible for life to exist in the clouds of venus — it's simply too dry. that's the finding of an international research team led by queen's university belfast. scientists say the availability of water is 100 times too low to support even the most extreme life forms known to exist on earth. after india's devastating second covid wave, the country is now grappling with more than 40,000 cases of a fungal infection called mucormycosis. the disease has been declared an epidemic in india. thousands have died of it. doctors say covid, and the treatment being given for it, has led to this surge.

from a public hospital in pune, one of the worst affected districts, our india correspondent yogita limaye reports. covid has left behind in india a new epidemic — mucormycosis. a fungus that attacks parts of the brain, face and lungs. not contagious, but aggressive. it is known to kill half of those it infects. doctors say covid and the steroids used to save people from it have left them vulnerable to the fungus. surgeons have to remove infected parts. shivaji veer lost one of his eyes. translation: i'ml grateful to be alive. but i had to take a big loan to buy medicines. i used to drive school buses, but i can't do that now. at this public hospital, there were not more than three cases a year. now, there are five every day. dr aniket lathi says he was in disbelief initially

when the surge hit. covid is leaving such a big trail behind of mucormycosis. and they do not fill up the beds only for a day or two. they are here to stay with us for at least one month, one and a half months. the injection needed to treat a rare disease, expensive and hard to find. with covid and mucormycosis, india's stretched health care facilities have had no respite. just a small percentage of the population has been vaccinated so far, and government experts are warning a third surge could be here in less than a couple of months. 0utside these walls, people are yet to come to terms with the trauma that hit them during the second wave. siddharth kharadi was 19. he got covid and then mucormycosis. his family says it wasn't diagnosed early enough to save him. "he was such a caring son. i really miss him," his mother,

suvarna, tells me. siddharth underwent multiple operations. the family sold their jewellery to pay hospital bills. his father, sandeep kharadi, says, "sometimes i still don't understand where this illness came from. it destroyed our home and took our son from us. it's left us with a lifetime of sorrow." yogita limaye, bbc news, pune. dr priya sampathkumar is head of infectious disease prevention at the mayo clinic in rochester, minnesota. she explained why the outbreak is taking hold in india. it's a truly horrifying consequence of the covid pandemic. during covid, hospitals

were stretched, there were lots and lots of patients in the hospital, many of them doing steroids which were life—saving, but simultaneously both covid and the use of steroids was making these patients' blood sugars go very high. and that's what's leading now to the mucor epidemic in india. and just like we heard, mucor is this fungal infection. it is in the air, and when you breathe it in, you get infected. it often requires long hospital stays. covid affects the whole world, so why are we hearing about this particular illness from india above all? for a couple of reasons. one is the spores of mucor, the agent that causes this infection, is much more prevalent than other parts of the world. we see mucor in the united states, we see it in the uk, but it is very, very uncommon. it is more common in tropical regions. the second thing is just

the huge, huge number of cases of covid. when you have a few cases, a small number of them get infected, and if you can take care of those patients by managing their blood sugars well, those patients are also less likely to get mucor. so it is the combination of huge numbers of cases overwhelming the system, large numbers of patients getting steroids without their blood sugars being managed appropriate and the environment altogether. what role, what impact, might the delta variant be having on the spread? so the delta variant probably caused a majority of the cases in the second wave, and it did seem to be much more transmissible, so more cases meant more overwhelming of the system. there's also a theory that the delta variant maybe caused more inflammation in young individuals than prior variants.

it may have left them predisposed to mucor. that's still a theory that needs to be proven or disproven, so it is not a fact. dr priya sampathkumar there. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: as china's communist party prepares to celebrate its 100th anniversary, we'll look at how beijing's role has changed on the world stage. members of the neo—nazi resistance movement stormed the world trade centre armed with pistols and shotguns. we believe that, according to international law, that we have a rightful claim in certain parts of this country as our land. i take pride in the words "ich bin ein berliner." cheering as the uk woke up to the news that it is to exit the european union, leave campaigners began celebrating. in total, 17.4 million people voted for the uk to leave the eu. the medical research council

have now advised the government that the great increase in lung cancer is due, mainly, to smoking tobacco. it was closing time for checkpoint charlie, which for 29 years has stood on the border as a marker of allied determination to defend the city. this is bbc news. the latest headlines: the us and canada have both warned citizens of dangerous heat levels as western with america faces an unprecedented heatwave. another body has been recovered from the rubble of a collapsed florida apartment building. it brings the number of confirmed dead from the lester 211 was to more than 150 people remain missing. —— from the disaster 11.

china's communist party is preparing to celebrate the 100 anniversary of its foundation this week. there'll be an extravagent tv spectacular, recorded at the birds�* nest stadium in beijing, which will showcase china's path from civil war to global player. but what is china's role today in the world? how much of a threat might it be to the established order? 0ur correspondent robin brandt reports on the booming economy. it was here gathering at this very spot in shanghai the commonest push for power. —— the communists push for power. 100 years on, with about 90 million members, some are still as fervent in their following. this man checks a special app on the idea of china plasma current leader every leader. translation:— current leader every leader. translation: the first thing i do when i wake _ translation: the first thing i do when i wake up _ translation: the first thing i do when i wake up is _ translation: the first thing i do when i wake up is into - translation: the first thing i do when i wake up is into the l do when i wake up is into the test questions. of course is meaningful, so your mindset won't be loosened. but china lasma won't be loosened. but china plasma communists - won't be loosened. but china plasma communists have, i won't be loosened. but china l plasma communists have, how won't be loosened. but china - plasma communists have, how can you put it, evolved. xijinping

this man tell you a lot about china. when i spoke to jack, he was reaching the height of his power, the co—founder and boss of ali baba. china's most famous is this person, a card—carrying party member. a late last year of a crackdown came from on high. the government stopped ally pay from going public. since then, he has barely been seen in public. his company had become too big, too powerful, a systemic threat, the government said. in today's china, xi jinping once private business to thrive, but only if it will help the party thrive in little bit more. wen—ti sung is a specialist on china—taiwan and china—us relations. i asked him what is china's role in the world. china's role in the world, it sees itself as one

of the top two superpowers, and it's trying to find its way to be accepted into that legitimate leadership core of international society. and it's frustrated that it's not? in a way, certainly. i mean, it's still facing a lot of criticism about various government situations as well as human rights situations, in its relation with the west, and with the united states, for example, especially with the biden administration talking about value by diplomacy all the time. you're in taipei. what are mainland china's relations with taiwan currently like? it's been a bit of a freeze in a sense, bit of a cold winter, between the two sides. for china, obviously, it sees taiwan as an integral part to china's so—called china dream, this so—called

great revival of the chinese nation, of which they see taiwan as a part of it, and there is so far a difficulty in trying to find a so—called common political foundation on which to proceed, political relations between the two sides. when i lived in beijing, around the time of the olympics in 2008, the communist party would routinely present itself as the victim of a century or so of humiliation by the west. that was a narrative i heard almost every day. is that narrative still being talked about? certainly it's still part of the narrative, and i think it's about establishing a baseline, right? if the baseline is that china suffered a century of humiliation, then obviously what happened afterwards, the chinese communist party's rise, would look so much better. that is why they are talked by china's dream now. china not only stood up, got rich but also got stronger under the xijinping era, and that's the narrative they're trying to push.

let's look at the us and china. if china wants to be one of two superpowers, where is the order for china? us first, china second? i think if you ask them, they probably won't give you the most direct answer. what they want to call for is a democratisation of the international society, so to speak, by diluting us predominance, and it is in that sense that they always try to renegotiate and reinterpret. renegotiate is about how they want to have a greater share of influence in the international society now that china has been in this role. reinterpret is about the more normative aspects of the relationships. the beijing olympics, the summer olympics, were a time of china presenting itself to the world. will they do the same with the 2022 beijing winter olympics? i think that's definitely in the plans. and it will be

a opportunity for them to showcase to the world in terms of the progress they've made during the xijinping era. and at this point, i think they're still trying to figure out how best to present themselves to the world on the more discursive front, because that's the part on which they may have the greater difference with the other leading powers in international society. wen—ti sung there. the ethiopian government has declared a ceasefire in the country's northern tigray region, eight months after prime minister abiy ahmed sent troops to oust its leadership. the announcement came after tigrayan rebel forces said they were back in control of the regional capital mekelle, and witnesses reported seeing federal security forces flee from the city. according to the un, 5 million people are in urgent need of food aid as a result of the conflict, and all sides have been accused of carrying out mass killings and human rights violations. the bbc�*s vivienne nunis sent us this update. the latest we have heard is that the tplf, the tigrayan people's liberation front — the rebel forces in that region

in northern ethiopia — and their military wing, the tdf, have claimed control of mekelle, that capital city there. as you say, that comes after we heard of a cease—fire. so the federal government's representatives in mekelle, the interim government there, asked for a cease—fire today, we understand. that was approved by the federal government in addis ababa and that led to today's events. but since then, we've heard that ethiopian forces have been withdrawing or fleeing, if you like, from mekelle, and not necessarily peacefully, because the aid agency unicef actually put out a statement about an hour ago saying ethiopian soldiers actually came into their office in mekelle and forcibly removed some of their equipment, their satellites and the like, as they were withdrawing from the city. so definitely fast—moving and somewhat chaotic events in tigray today. vivienne nunis. now, just

before we go, would you think of the biggest cheer at wimbledon? andy murray, novak djokovic? the chair had nothing to do with dennis. —— tennis. dame professor sarah gilbert, who co—designed the 0xford—astrazeneca vaccine, was a guest in the royal box today. applause as her name was announced, the audience gave her a standing ovation, not something she was expecting. more than 44 million people in the uk have now had at least one dose of a coronavirus vaccine, many of them from the 0xford—astrazeneca jab. a reminder of our tops story this hour. the united states and canada have warned their citizens of dangerous heat levels as western north america aces and unprecedented heatwave. schools and universities in british colombia were closed on monday after the province broke the

national record over the weekend. more of the stories on our website. you stay with us. hello. best place for the drier and sunnier weather during the first part of this week certainly in scotland and northern ireland. with the blue skies out in the highlands on monday, temperatures lift to a very pleasant 25 degrees. and we will see similar sorts of temperatures in southern scotland on tuesday. england and wales, though, it has been a different story. lots more cloud. and into tuesday, the same area of low pressure that brought the cloud on monday revolving around. it keeps the temperatures up as we start the day. so, again, mid—teens, quite a humid start, whereas clearer skies into scotland, northern ireland, northern england. single figure temperatures to start the day. but here, some sunny spells, but a few changes. bit more cloud to the north and the west of scotland, later into northern ireland, drifting in. a damp start for parts of northwest england, wales and the southwest, but brightening up here to sunny spells. but through the midlands, east anglia and other southern counties of england, the cloud will be there,

always the threat of some showers, maybe the odd heavy and thundery one, and cooler to east anglia and the southeast in recent days. cumbria and across parts of western scotland, 2a or 25 degrees possible. so, for wimbledon on tuesday, it will be cooler. there will be plenty of cloud, but i can't promise it will stay dry. we're likely to see showers develop in the nearby areas, which could come along. same, too, at wembley. always the chance of some outbreaks of rain as we head into the evening for england's match against germany. and where the showers do form, there is still the chance of the odd rumble of thunder. showers continue into tuesday night across parts of the southeast in particular, as well as east anglia. more of a breeze down those eastern coasts, feeding lots of low cloud in further and further westwards. temperatures for most, though, in double figures. not as chilly a night for scotland and northern ireland. but on wednesday, we will have a lot more low cloud around to the north and the east of the country, so a bit of a grey day. still the chance of some rain across east anglia and the southeast, but for many, it will be dry. sunshine will develop more widely towards the west, but because of that cloudier

start, it will feel a bit cooler across parts of scotland and northwest england. then, as we go through wednesday into thursday, our area of low pressure starts to pull away, but it may just be close enough to throw in some influence still towards east anglia and the southeast for thursday. high pressure in the north and the west. a lot more sunshine once again more widely. but eastern counties of england, that cloud, a bit of a breeze, and for east anglia and the southeast, there could be still the chance of a few showers. temperatures at their highest in western areas, at around 21—24 celsius. and then through the rest of the week, it looks like by the weekend, showers will develop more widely. see you soon.

hello, you're watching bbc news. the headlines... parts of the united states and canada are seeing a severe heat weight with some of the highest numbers ever recorded in north america for stop officials warned the record waking —— breaking heat wave could last all week. killing at least ten people. no survivors have then pulled a light from the side of the clip since it came down on thursday. as india continue to market continues its fight against coronavirus, india now faces a threat of a deadly fungal infection, also known as black fungus. it has already killed thousands of people in the country. and france's euros 2020 campaign is now over. the reigning world champions loss to switzerland in a nail—biting penalty shoot—out. earlier, spain also qualified for the next round of the tournament by 5-3.
