hello and welcome to bbc news. our top stories: hotter than ever. canada hits record temperatures as america's north—west swelters in a dangerous heatwave. climate change is real. our temperatures have warmed here, especially summer nighttime temperatures, and so that has kind of raised the baseline and made this heat event that much more severe. 11 people are now confirmed dead in the miami building collapse with more than 150 still missing. 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 iraqi. it's a win—win for facebook as a court rules in its favour over anti—trust claims and its share value surges to more than $1 trillion for the first time. and celebrations erupt in the streets of lucerne after switzerland beat the world champions france in a penalty shootout at the euros. dismay for french fans, though, as the tournament favourites make an early exit. thanks forjoining us. they have never known a summer heatwave quite like this one across a vast swathe of north america and canada, where temperatures are breaking all records.

i will give you one measure among many — lytton in british columbia soared to 47.5 c, ii7 fahrenheit, and that breaks an 84—year—old record. what makes it all the more remarkable is that it is still early summer, and it is the result of what is called a heat dome, a huge amount of high pressure which has settled across the region. canadians escaping the heat wherever they can. temperatures firing up to around 20 degrees hotter than normal. this is unseasonably warm, but we will take it. sometimes we get snow injune, so we'll take the sun as we can get it. cooling down has almost become an act of survival. there is extra drinking water for school children. british columbia's power providers report a surge in demand for electricity to keep air conditioners running. we do have air—conditioning in our house and our car, and if we have

to buy groceries, they open at seven in the morning because of covid for seniors. it's affecting callout times for the ambulances. i heard on the radio this morning that it is like a two hour delay to get an ambulance out because they can't fill the ambulances with the staffing they need because they're all so burned out from covid. causing all of this is a massive ridge of high pressure in the sky, a contained pool of air hanging over the area like a lid on a pot. basically no weather systems can move in so we don't get any relief with thunderstorms or showers, and all we get is pure blue skies and sunshine, and this is very dangerous. records have also been shattered in seattle in the us state of washington. this is ridiculous — ifeel like i'm in the desert or something. you can't breathe, it's so hot, at least for me. definitely have to wear shoes. scientists studying these extreme heat waves say they are made more likely and more intense by human induced climate change.

climate change is real. our temperatures have warmed here, especially summer nighttime temperatures, and so that has just raised the baseline and made this heat event that much more severe. its forecast this prolonged, dangerous and historic heatwave will persist through this week. back in british columbia, if you go down to the pool today, you're sure of a big surprise, as meteorologists warn these weather events are likely to become more and more frequent, if you can bear it. mark lobel, bbc news. some lovely pictures but a very serious context to this. i am joined by nasa's senior climate

adviser, gavin schmidt. are you surprised? is it something you had long forecast? we surprised? is it something you had long forecast?— surprised? is it something you had long forecast? we don't use satellites to _ had long forecast? we don't use satellites to forecast _ had long forecast? we don't use satellites to forecast things, - satellites to forecast things, but this kind of thing, yes we have been forecasting that heatwaves will become more intense, and we've already seen that in the observations. for instance, last summer there were massive heatwaves in siberia. that's continuing this summer as well. where those heatwaves are occurring as a function of the weather. here we have a very strong jetstream, the excursion, that's gone north, bringing unseasonably warm weather to these regions. but the fact that these things are happening and the temperatures are hitting records — that's not a surprise. climate change has warmed the planet byjust over one celsius over the last 100 years, and that's being seen notjust in the unable means,

notjust in the unable means, notjust in the unable means, notjust in the lodge averages, but it's being seen in the weather patterns and temperatures themselves. so that's something that this part of the world, for example, should expect on a more regular basis and from earlier in the year? basis and from earlier in the ear? ~ , , ., year? well, this is not something _ year? well, this is not something that's - year? well, this is not i something that's specific year? well, this is not - something that's specific to british columbia or the pacific northwest in the us. this is something that's going to be seen, is being across the something that�*s going to be seen, is being across the mid— latitudes. where we are seeing heatwaves — and they can occur pretty much anywhere — they are being made more intense. when we do the analyses of these kinds of events and we say, well, what is the likelihood of these kinds of events being more likely because of human caused climate change? what we find is the odds of something like this happening, these thresholds being crossed, have increased enormously over the last 30 or a0 years. increased enormously over the last 30 or 40 years.—

last 30 or 40 years. generally speaking. _ last 30 or 40 years. generally speaking. is _ last 30 or 40 years. generally speaking, is this _ last 30 or 40 years. generally speaking, is this something . speaking, is this something that — speaking, is this something that - i speaking, is this something that — i mean, i started off by saying, do you expect this? i appreciate what you said about how you use satellite images and what have you, but how far can you go to forecast or predict what is coming next? i mean, in terms of the weather forecast, this event was very well forecast days and days and days ago. a week ago people were warning that this was going to happen. so our ability to do the weather forecast part of this through the met office or through the european sensor or through the european sensor or through the us weather forecasting agencies is very, very high. the change that we are seeing, the impacts of climate change, is something else again. our ability to say something about the statistics of heatwaves — that's also increasing. that's a different kind of forecasting.— kind of forecasting. gavin, thank you _

kind of forecasting. gavin, thank you very _ kind of forecasting. gavin, thank you very much - kind of forecasting. gavin, i thank you very much indeed. kind of forecasting. gavin, - thank you very much indeed. i appreciate your expertise. gavin schmidt, nasa's acting senior adviser on climate. let's go to miami now, where rescue work there is proving to be desperately slow going. another body has been recovered from the rubble of the collapsed apartment building, and that brings the number of confirmed dead from this disaster to 11, but 151 people are still unaccounted for following last thursday's disaster. israeli rescue teams are out there. they have found a tunnel and they are hoping to find someone. the fire is also out on the site and they will target their search on the bedroom areas. the bbc�*s sophie long is at the scene. you can see the well, you can see the rescue operation continuing behind me. 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, not just for news of their loved ones but also for answers about how this possibly could have happened.

we are well into the late evening now, the search and rescue effort goes on around the clock. i have been speaking to a colonel who is the commander of the national rescue unit in the of the national rescue unit in the home front command for the israeli defence forces, and he is helping in the search and rescue efforts. he joined us to the side of the site of the collapse and he gave us the latest information. we arrived here yesterday, 6am, started working at 8am, since then we are here 24/7, ten experts. we still are at the search and rescue phase, after the dogs and locators, we are starting right now to have a ground plan of marking the bedrooms, so this is the plan, we are marking the bedrooms and we are digging according to this assumption. what does that mean? as i understand it, no—one has been pulled from the wreckage since thursday.

it's obviously a very difficult, very dangerous, probably, area to be digging in, but why is it taking quite so long even to bring bodies out? we extracted one person this morning, eight hours ago, and we are now marking all the bedrooms because of the way of the collapse. it was very difficult to restore the way of the building, so we got support from israel, from analysts, home front command analysts, and they helped us restore the location, the current location of these bedrooms. you are right, it's difficult. until this morning, there was fire and smoke and there was still a collapse danger on—site, so we couldn't

reach all the places, but right now, we have a plan, and with our fellow americans, we believe that in the next 24 hours, we will reach some of the people who were in the bedrooms. how do you dovetail what you bring to this operation with the local authorities? what is your specific role? 0ur specific role is to bring our technologies and our methodologies. we train with the americans throughout the years, and we share the same principles of working, but right now, each team needs to have a second opinion about the planning, and we support the americans' second opinion. we share the same human resources, the same equipment throughout the years, and right now we can

support them with the israeli support technologies about analysing the current situation of the smash, and according to this simulation, we can point the teams where exactly to look. we found only this morning a new tunnel that we are looking out for in the last few hours and i hope that we will find some new spaces in the next few hours. are the fires out? have you managed to extinguish them? yeah. can ijust ask — you are a military man, you are involved in a very precise operation, really, but i guess you are also having to deal with many families, relatives, who are desperate to know more about their loved ones, and frankly, who will get some very bad news

probably at some point. how does it bear on you as an israeli, coming over and helping a jewish community here? we came notjust for thejewish community, we came to save lives. we have operated more than 30 countries in the past 30 years, so we came here for the families — it's ourjob. we are with the families, we are talking to them, with them, we are collecting information. they are our partners, not on other side, and we meet them twice a day, we inform them, of course, with the five partners of miami, we inform them exactly what the information is, and we keep the hope, the existence, because we found, i personally have found,

missing people after 100 hours in haiti in 2010, and because of that we still have hope. speaking from the is really an defence force. i want to bring you up—to—date with the news from other parts of the world. belarus has said it is suspending a partnership agreement with the european union in the wake of a continuing row over the rest of the opposition journalist, roman pretty save each. the move comes after the trade sanctions on parts of the belarus economy and the country has recalled its ambassador to the eu for consultations that make the ethiopian government has declared a ceasefire in the country's northern to grey region after abby are committed sent troops to oust its leadership. it came after rebel forces from tigray said they were taking control of the capital, mccallie, and

witnesses seeing federal security forces falling from the city. the e—cigarette maker tigray has agreed to pay $40 million to the state of north carolina to settle a lawsuit in which he was accused of marketing its products to minors. that is the first deal reached by the company with a us state government. in that lawsuit, north carolina said the company downplay the potential harm that its products can cause, fuelling what it called an epidemic of vaping along minors. jule still faces another 2000 lawsuit. well, do stay with us here on bbc news. still to come —— still to come... celebrations in switzerland as they have knocked out world champions france at the euros. we will have the details. china marked its first day of rule in

hong kong with spectacular celebrations. the chinese president, change in, said unification was the start of a new era for hong kong. the world's first clone has been produced of an adult mammal. scientists in scotland have produced a sheep called dolly, it was cloned in a laboratory using a cell from another sheep. the first time in 20 years, russian — american space craft have docked in orbit, marking a new era in cooperation in space. challenger powered past the bishop rob lighthouse at almost 50 knots, shattering a record that stood for 34 years. and there was no hiding the sheer elation of richard branson and his crew.

hello again, you are watching bbc world news, with me, david eades. 0ur bbc world news, with me, david eades. our main headlines this hour: the us and canada have both warned citizen is a dangerous heat levels as western north america faces an unprecedented heatwave. the us says it has carried out air strikes against iranian based militia in iraq and syria in retaliation for drone attacks on us personnel and facilities in iraq. iraqi border guards at least four militia men were killed. in response, us forces in syria were targeted by multiple rockets, though no injuries have been reported. iran has long sought influence in iraq and syria through political and military proxies. tensions with the us are complicating attempts to revive the international nuclear deal. then is a senior fellow with the foundation for defence of democracy is.— democracy is. there is a lot more of _ democracy is. there is a lot more of the _ democracy is. there is a lot more of the same - democracy is. there is a lot more of the same going - democracy is. there is a lot more of the same going on| democracy is. there is a lot l more of the same going on in places like iraq and le saux

syria, but intensification. if you look at rocket strikes alone, in the past two years there have been 90 separate instances of indirect rocket fire of facilities inside iraq alone affiliated with the us force presents. many of these facilities are in diplomatic facilities inside the green zone, housing other embassies, multinational entities and things of that nature, so there is always a chance of a larger fallout beyond the us, but iran—backed shia militias inside are trying to use these drone strikes to beget the cycle of violence to ultimately push for the ejection of america from iraq and ultimately the region. we have got the iran nuclear arrangement being renegotiated almost as we speak. it's hard to imagine that's not playing into it somewhere. would you agree with that? well, i most certainly think it does, and in terms of us policy, it should play into it. however, the biden administration has taken a rather narrow

nuclearfirst or, shall we say, nuclear uber alles approach, firstly trying to resurrect the deal and then trying to deal with regional issues. and so i think the us is absorbing all this rocket fire, absorbing all this drone fire from january to present, was a strategic mistake, and this is only the second time the us has used force in response to rocket fire and in response to drone attacks. and i think it may be too little, too late to send a strong deterrent message to some of these shia militia groups that iran hopes to leverage at the battlefield as well as to create a stronger impression of resolve at the negotiating table. the second wave of coronavirus to hit india may have receded significantly now, but the country is having to grapple with more than 40,000 cases of a fungal infection called black fungus. thousands have died from it, from a public hospital, i make india —— our india correspondence to get a

this report. —— yogita limaye. 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. facebook�*s stock market value has surged to more than $1 trillion for the very first time after a usjudge throughout a case accusing the firm of abusing its market dominance. 0ur norht america correspondent, peter bowes, has the details. it goes back to the acquisition of both of those apps.

instagram and then whatsapp a couple of years later, and the argument, there were two lawsuits related, one was from the federal trade commission the other from a coalition of 45 states around the country, arguing that facebook was operating as a monopoly, that it was anti—competition, and in effect, operating against the law. facebook had said that these lawsuits were nonsensical and it seems the judge in this case agrees that there is no case. he did not say "nonsensical", but he said that as far as the federal trade commission was concerned, they simply had not provided the evidence that facebook, as a social media company, was dominating the social media landscape so much that it was a monopoly. and as far as the states claim that facebook and instagram and whatsapp should be broken up, thejudge said that this happened a long time ago. it was almost a decade ago, and if they had a case they should have brought the lawsuit earlier. now, he did not completely throw out these cases.

he has gave the federal trade commission about a month to restate its case and try again. and so while facebook may be celebrating, certainly from the value of the stocks over the last few hours, this may come back. and update for you on the action on the euros on monday night. world champions, france, have been knocked out by switzerland after the swiss managed to get an equaliser in the very last minute of normal time. it was 3—3 after normal time. it was 3—3 after normal time and went to a penalty shootout. that went to a great save from the swiss keeper, and the striker was the one, as you can see there he missed the crucial kick. so, well done, switzerland. ranch are out. —— the french are out. the spaniards went into extra time in their game. 5—3, and with a

place in the quarterfinals. just to say that it will be england and germany next. that is bbc news. hello. best place for the drier and sunnier weather during the first part of this week certainly in scotland and northern ireland. and with the blue skies out in the highlands on monday, temperatures lift to a very pleasant 25 celsius. 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. a bit more cloud to the north and the west of scotland, later into northern ireland, drifting in. a damp start for parts of north—west england,

wales and the south—west, 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 south—east in recent days. cumbria and across parts of western scotland, 24—25 celsius 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 south—east, 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 north—west england. then, as we go through wednesday into thursday, our area of low pressure starts to pull away, but it mayjust 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 south—east, 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.

this is bbc news. the headlines: it is only early summer, but parts of the united states and canada are among a severe heat wave. 0fficials won the record—breaking heat wave will all week. only 11 bodies have been recovered and 151 people are still unaccounted for after a residential building partly collapsed in miami last thursday. rescue crews have been using grains, sniffer dogs and infrared scanners to identify any scanners and search for air pockets. football fa ns football fans are celebrating in switzerland after knocking the world champions france out of the euros. it was taken and a penalty shootout.
