country in the tournament, so ranked country in the tournament, so this is their most realistic chance of getting at least a point tonight. of course, northern ireland are in the same group as england who also play later, they take on norway. that will be their toughest task so far. they are behind norway on goal difference in the table, and england got off to a slow start in the opening match against austria, beth mead scoring the only goal and the winner in the end, giving them the winner in the end, giving them the win but they are behind norway in the table, which means that england have got a big task ahead. norway have got a big task ahead. norway have got a few big names in their squad, so england are going to have to put a stop to them tonight. then of course be group match later on this week against the two home nations, very much looking forward to england taking on northern ireland. . ~ to england taking on northern ireland. ., ~ ,, time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. it's literally another scorcher.

particularly across england and wales, very slow to come down. perhaps as you're heading to bed, 10pm, 25 in birmingham, 23 in cardiff, 26 in london. quite an uncomfortable night and those temperatures will slowly ease later on. tuesday, a cold front, a very weak feature, a few spots of rain in scotland and northern ireland. sunny weather pushing in late in the day. it will feel fresh again, temperatures just into the low 20s but pleasant weather. the highest temperatures in central and eastern england where we could see 32 or 33. for wednesday, england where we could see 32 or 33. forwednesday, but england where we could see 32 or 33. for wednesday, but slightly less hot air has trickled it's way further south, there is a bit more cloud again for scotland and northern ireland, a few passing showers. any other kind of spell of weather, 28 would be calling hot but things really start to heat up as we go through the latter part of the week and into the weekend where we could be looking at some extreme heat in
1:33 pm
the uk. there will be lots of sunshine, those temperatures rising into the 30s, the mid 30s and maybe even the high 30s for the second part of the weekend. what's causing this is very hot weather that is building right now across spain and portugal. these deep orange colours get drawn northwards into parts of the uk and that will really start to boost temperatures through the weekend or perhaps into next week. the uk's highest temperature on record as 38.7, we are looking at some very hot weather building into next weekend. hearing more about that over the next few days. hopefully with the right cameras! that's all from the bbc news at 0ne, so it's goodbye from me — and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are.

heathrow airport has asked airlines to cancel 6i flights because it was it said more passengers were expected that they could currently serve. paul charles is the chief executive of a travel consultancy, the pc agency and explained how flight cancellations are allocated. the way heathrow is working on the cancellations is by looking the day before at the schedules they have planned and they work with the ground handlers and the airlines and they look at the peak point, the pinch points where they expect there to be the most number of people going through security and check—in based on past data and what they expect in future and then they marry that with expected sickness levels and we are now do notjust in shortages of staff and people not being in roles, but shortages from those taking time out due to covid another sickness and that is why we see a larger number of cancellations going through. many people on the

(=an energy boss has said customers who use prepayment meters should not be charged more than those who pay by direct debit. there are 4.5 million households
1:41 pm
who use prepayment meters — and they typically spend almost 50—pounds more a year than those who pay through other methods. 0ur social affairs correspondent michael buchanan reports. how long have you gone without electricity? about four or five days. and no gas? no gas, no. if i could choose, i wouldn't have a prepayment meter. i've had to get food parcels before to pay my bills. topping up his meter key has become an increasingly frequent necessity for pete. £10 top—up, please. a tenner used to last him about a week. now it's around four days. and he's sometimes gone days without gas or electric. cheers, guys, thanks a lot. what's it like living in a house with no energy? it's grim. god knows what it's going to be like in the winter. pete, who suffers from a chronic lung condition, sought help from a charity, christians against poverty, who helped him with his energy costs. but his balance, £40,
1:42 pm
won't last the month. your pride soon goes out the window when you start getting hungry, itell you. you know, when you're shivering, and you got nothing to eat, it is, it's grim. it's bleak. merseyside has a higher than average number of people on prepayment meters, which are usually found in lower income households. energy prices are higher on a meter as companies say it costs to install them, leaving many families struggling. remember yesterday when i spoke to you about this will not go off? all this energy company's customers use prepayment meters. calls seeking help have soared in recent weeks, and the chairman says their customers should not be charged more than other energy users. we only need one price cap, and that should be payment on receipt of bill. we have had some very, very sad cases of people threatening suicide, and we have also had customers threatening self—harm.
1:43 pm
soaring prices don't hit everyone equally. households with the lowest income spend three times as much of their budgets on energy as those with the most money. the government is going to pay at least £1200 to the poorest households this year to help them in particular with the rising cost of energy. that will undoubtedly be welcome, but ministers themselves acknowledge that many of these households will still continue to struggle, particularly in winter. mother of two steph was forced to have a prepayment meter after building up large debts. for every £10 she tops up, she says, her energy company reclaims £4 of what they are owed. add in rising prices, and steph's family have go without. my daughter wants to do after school classes and clubs that she used to do like swimming and things like that. i have to say no, i just can't afford it. whereas her friends are going. birthday parties, can't afford to take her or buy presents for the child, i've had to say no to things like that. unaffordable child care forced

the 26—year—old to give up herjob in telesales, and although times are hard, she is clear on what matters. i'm not going to change the way i parentand be a mumjust because my gas and electric has gone up. i'm still going to be a good mum and cook for my children, bathe my children. michael buchanan, bbc news. the south african president, cyril ramaphosa, has said he cannot allow violent criminals to terrorise people following the murder of nineteen people in two separate shootings in bars. police say they don't believe the two shootings are linked. but the incidents have refocused attention on south africa's crime rate — and what's driving it — as gail maclellan reports. though south africa has one of the highest per capita murder rates in the world, two incidents this past weekend have left people reeling. in one, in eastern soweto, gunmen opened fire with rifles and pistols. what we know is that the assailants just entered into that space where people were enjoying
1:45 pm
themselves and the they shot them. as to what is the motive, currently, we don't know but our detectives are hard at work. but there are 20,000 murders a year in south africa and problems in the police force mean that very few are solved. it's a legacy of the decades, the apartheid regime, the rule in south africa until about 30 years ago, more recently, there are huge problems in the police force which is under resourced, undermanned, lack of political will, highly politicised appointments are made, not made on meritocratic grounds. they really can't and don't investigate murders when they should. 23 people a day are shot and killed in the country and the rise of gun
1:46 pm
violence has been attributed mostly to the easy availability of guns. we know from our own experience but also across the world that when you reduce the pool of weapons and when you reduce availability, when you restrict access, that is the single most effective intervention that you can do. also, almost two thirds of young south africans are unemployed. there is widespread poverty, growing abuse of alcohol and tensions are high. we are going to have to use force. these tavern shootings come soon after the death of 21 teenagers thought to have been gassed or poisoned in a bar in the city of east london. president ramaphosa says everyone must work together to improve social and economic conditions in communities to make the country safe. what is not clear is how.
1:47 pm
now on bbc news it's time to take a look at some of the stories making the headlines in our newsroom �*across the uk. an investigation is underway this lunchtime — after a woman was killed at a bus stop in manchester city centre. two other people were injured — one seriously — after a bus mounted the pavement in piccadilly gardens. the driver was detained at the scene — from where yunus mulla has just sent this. whatever the time of day, this area of piccadilly is busy. it whatever the time of day, this area of piccadilly is busy.— of piccadilly is busy. it was around 930 last night _ of piccadilly is busy. it was around 930 last night when _ of piccadilly is busy. it was around 930 last night when we _ of piccadilly is busy. it was around | 930 last night when we understand that a bus mounted the curb and went straight into this bus shelter and in footage filmed in the second and minutes after you could see the lengths people went to to try and help, including trying to move the bus out of the way. our woman in her
1:48 pm
50s was killed and she is receiving treatment in this area was quite busy at the time and football was being shown in piccadilly gardens here in what police want to piece together is what happened and why the bus mounted the curb. and we know that our bus driver stayed here to help police with their investigations. and what greater manchester police need is footage of any tax and help them with the investigations and what we are seeing currently is that this bus shelter is being dismantled and to make the area safe.
1:49 pm
a group of young people from south wales are calling for social media platforms to improve processes for reporting harmful content. bosses from tik tok and meta — who run facebook — faced questions on the topic from students at pontypridd high school. the session happened as a new law to protect people online passes through parliament — as shelley phelps reports. i feel like because of social media, women's voices are being heard less. i feel like we are being pushed back a bit. 17—year—old caitlin says she received threatening messages on social media after putting up a post about the problem of violence against women. it's like we can't really speak without having harm wanted against us. she is part of a group of pupils at pontypridd high school, who have been working on a project about improving the safety of women and girls online. it's annoying because you want to know who it is but you can't find out. it's anonymous.
1:50 pm
the ever changing social media landscape poses a challenge for teachers, as what happens online often spills into school. some of our learners have - experienced lots of different things online, whereby they have been. invited into groups or had images sent and these things then cause problems moving forward - and are quite damaging to our young people. i it's a big day for the pupils, as they get a chance to quiz social media giants, tiktok and instagram. young people feel it's very difficult to report or remove upsetting content, how can you make this process easier? you can turn off dms completely or you can choose to receive dms from people that you only follow. you can obviously block an account, . if you don't want to receive that l content, you can also delete posts in bulk _ the event was organised by labour's alex davies—jones mp, who says what she has been hearing from the pupils is one of the factors behind her calls
1:51 pm
for a toughening up of new online safety laws being proposed by the uk government. the 0nline safety bill is a long overdue piece of legislation that we want to support, we do support. we feel like it could be a truly world leading piece of legislation to keep people, children and adults safe online but there are a number of loopholes that really prevent it from being this flagship policy that could have real world change. the uk government says the 0nline safety bill will force platforms to stamp out abuse of women and girls and provide proper support to users and that failure to act could result in heavy fines. a heat health alert has been issued for the south wing because of high temperatures. the amber level three alert which will remain in place until friday encourages people to look out for the vulnerable and the elderly. here is matt tracy from south today. forecasters say the south will be warmer than athens and
1:52 pm
ibiza today but with the heat comes dangers to people and animals. firefighters in west dorset say they hoped two dogs locked inside a camper van at the weekend where temperatures had reached 36 celsius. the owner arrived soon after and was given advice about leaving animals in vehicles. this morning the met office issued an amber level three heat health alert and the uk health agency has urged people to stay hydrated and find shelter when at their strongest. we hydrated and find shelter when at their strongest.— hydrated and find shelter when at their strongest. we shall en'oy the hot weather — their strongest. we shall en'oy the hot weather when it * their strongest. we shall en'oy the hot weather when it comes _ their strongest. we shall enjoy the hot weather when it comes but - their strongest. we shall enjoy the hot weather when it comes but we | hot weather when it comes but we have to do it responsibly and be aware of the dangers of heatwaves. they can kill and make people very ill and we are really concerned because this is happening more frequently and we are seeing more intense heat waves that are lasting for longer and this is certainly an indication that climate change is

1:54 pm
prostate can be painful and lower your quality of life. an operation can ease the symptoms, but with hospital waiting lists at a record high, there's hope that new technology will make treatment quicker and easier. alastair fee reports. very nice to see you. in recent weeks, tim has had serious problems with his prostate gland. at night, i get up an awful lot, so by the morning, i would be worn out because i haven't had a good night's sleep. he is the first patient at basingstoke hospital to receive a new type of operation. it's quite an advanced technology. there is blasting water to get rid of some of the prostate tissue. i think it's a lot safer than other techniques and also the after—effects for somebody of my age, i think they're a lot improved. hampshire hospitals operate on 500 men with this problem every year. many are now waiting
1:55 pm
six months or longer. we try and give them the priority that we feel they deserve, but we're competing with all the other health conditions. but if we can bring in new technologies that more efficient, they take a shorter time in the operating room, this will improve efficiencies and help reduce the waiting list burden which is what we really need to be working on. the new procedure uses robot technology alongside an experienced surgeon. it's called aquablation. i know my way around the prostate gland, so i can watch what it's doing and i can alter the treatment as it progresses and modify it. but it's the rapidity that it can do it, it's quicker than i would be able to do the procedure using other technologies. the machine uses water at very high pressure to remove prostate tissue. it's quicker than traditional surgery, more efficient and easier to perform. by using water, there is no heat involved, and it's more precise. this new procedure takes an hour to perform.
1:56 pm
that means more patients will be seen and less waiting. it went very well. i may in future decide to take on bigger prostates and the potential to remove even more prostate tissue. but it's trying to balance the recovery with the longer term and the durability of the procedure. there is no doubt this technology does remove, or can remove a lot of tissue very quickly. ultimately it's the clinical outcome that will be the key driver of this. how well that the patients do, and how quickly do they recover. clearly one area that the nhs loves to have is patients that are treated within the same day. and ultimately that's where we would like to be with this technology. it has been done, it can be done. but at the moment that hasn't been proven yet in the nhs. the first trust to use this technique was frimley park. basingstoke will now trail this technology before it is recommended to other hospitals across the country. alistair fee, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris. some hot weather for the next few

days and today it has a decent shout of being the hottest day of the year so far and the temperature to beat is 32.7 that was set in suffolk and in london's heathrow airport on june the 17th but today we could get 33 or 34 and it's not just one day we are seeing the high temperatures, it stays hot through the week in the south—east of england was some extreme heat building through the weekend and perhaps into monday as well. more on that in a moment. today is going to be hotting up across england and wales, high 20s, low 30s and across scotland and northern ireland a bit more cloud than yesterday so temperature is not as high but still warm and 23 degrees will feel pleasant out and about but we could see 33 or maybe 34 in parts of east anglia and cambridgeshire could be one of the hotspots. during the evening those temperatures will be very slow to fall away after such a hot day and if you are thinking of heading on to bed at ten o'clock or so well, the temperatures will still be up at 25 or 26 for birmingham
1:58 pm
and for london. the highest temperatures will be in those bigger towns and cities and out in the countryside temperatures fall away a bit more quickly but nevertheless an uncomfortable night of sleep ahead. for tuesday we have a weak cold front pushing south bringing the odd spot of rain but not much on it at all, just an area of cloud drifting south. a bit more sunshine behind it for scotland and northern ireland and fresher air working in the highest temperatures getting confined to parts of southern and eastern wales and across the bulk of england where we will see highs running into the 30s. that fresher, slightly less hot air will seep into the south on wednesday but with temperatures around 28 degrees at any other time we would call it a hot day but we have those fresher conditions across the north and west. beyond that, through thursday and friday, there is more fine weather to come for most of us with more spells of sunshine and its into the weekend that we could start to see some extreme heat building across parts of the uk, particularly across parts of the south. what will happen is we get this very hot air building across spain
