warning from level three to level four — the government says that meets the definition of a national emergency. for the first time ever, temperatures could hit a0 degrees. the highest recorded temperature in the uk was 38.7c in cambridge in 2019. the warning covers manchester, the midlands and london. a met office red warning means there is a potential danger to life, with substantial disruption to travel, energy supplies and possibly widespread damage to property and infrastructure. our correspondent, simonjones, is in central london. simon. well, it's already feeling really hot here, but the temperature is only 2a degrees. come the start of next week, in certain places, that

could rise by another 15 degrees or so, and that takes us into unprecedented territory. that's why we've had this unprecedented warning from the met office for extreme heat. we are told things are going to get much, much worse. now, some people in this park are enjoying the sunshine. others are sticking to the shade, but everyone is being told we need to be prepared for what is ahead. it's already hot in much of the uk and it's about to get much, much hotter, potentially record—breaking temperatures forecast for the start of next week and that's not welcomed by all. i don't think i've ever experienced weather like that here before. it feels like we are in a different continent with weather like that and i'd be a little bit concerned to understand is this going to be the new normal?— understand is this going to be the new normal? , , ., ., new normal? over here this gets to a certain temperature _ new normal? over here this gets to a certain temperature and _ new normal? over here this gets to a certain temperature and it's - new normal? over here this gets to a certain temperature and it's been - certain temperature and it's been brutah _ certain temperature and it's been brutah |— certain temperature and it's been brutal. . . certain temperature and it's been brutal. ., ., ., certain temperature and it's been brutal-_ the i certain temperature and it's been l brutal._ the red brutal. i have a great time. the red warnin: brutal. i have a great time. the red warning which _ brutal. i have a great time. the red warning which is _ brutal. i have a great time. the red warning which is in _ brutal. i have a great time. the red warning which is in place _ brutal. i have a great time. the red warning which is in place on - brutal. i have a great time. the red| warning which is in place on monday

—— a3 degrees. further north, in france, a wildfire ripped through vast areas of pine trees south of bordeaux and many bastille day celebrations had to be cancelled. the spanish region of andalusia has endured some of the hottest temperatures, including the city of cordoba, from where our correspondent guy hedgecoe reports. bell tolls. the people of cordoba know all about heat. situated in the guadalquivir valley in southern spain, summers in this historic city are notoriously hot and dry. but this summer already looks hotter than usual. the country is in the grip of a second heat wave of recent weeks. for many of the tourists who come here, temperatures in the mid—a0s celsius come as a shock. we're from denmark.

for me, too hot. this is too hot. i don't mind, actually. this is crazy. for locals, experience has shown them how to deal with these conditions. "if you have certain underlying conditions and you expose yourself to the sun, you might suffer heat stroke, and it will get worse," this man says. "but if you go out earlier in the day, you hydrate properly, then you'll be ok." older people and young children are among those most at risk of being affected by the heat, according to doctors. you must force the elderly and babies to be hydrated, to drink water. you must watch them closely. i suggest that people stay at home from 1pm to 6pm now, with the risk so high. this heatwave is unusual because of its impact across the whole country. even northern areas, which would normally escape the worst of the summer heat,

are seeing extreme temperatures. the north—western region of galicia has been on red alert due to temperatures of up to a2 degrees. the extreme heat and high winds have fuelled wildfires, which have devastated swathes of land in the centre of the country. in neighbouring portugal, similar conditions have left firefighters battling multiple blazes. swimming pools like this one provide relief forfamilies. but despite the relaxed mood, there is a sense that this kind of heat is becoming increasingly normal. translation: it's changed. we have longer summers now. the spring and autumn don't exist any more. we go directly from the cold to intense heat in a few weeks, just a short period of time. it's evening time in cordoba, and the temperature has dropped just

enough for people to start coming out into squares like this one for a drink. but it's still not clear exactly when this heatwave will end, or indeed whether there will be others like it later on this summer. guy hedgecoe, bbc news, cordoba. here's our climate editor, justin rowlatt. this is so unusual, isn't it? this is exceptional, _ this is so unusual, isn't it? this is exceptional, the _ this is so unusual, isn't it? this is exceptional, the first - this is so unusual, isn't it? t�*u 3 is exceptional, the first time we've had a national emergency declared over heat, the first time the met office has declared one of these rare red warnings for extreme heat, they are saying that an 80% chance there will be an all—time record for heat set next week. that exceeds the 38.7 celsius that was recorded in cambridge injuly 2019. they're saying there is a 50—50 chance we'll exceed a0 celsius, absolutely exceptional temperatures. exceed 40 celsius, absolutely exceptional temperatures. exceed a0 celsius, absolutely exceptional temperatures. why? we've seen this pattern _ exceptional temperatures. why? we've seen this pattern of _ exceptional temperatures. why? we've seen this pattern of hot air over europe that you been reporting really effectively there. there is a

low pressure out of the west which is sucking that hot air over britain and we've got a high pressure sitting above the country which allows it to sit their stationery and it basically cooks. we got really hot ground, it's being baked under a dome of heat. thank you very much, justin rowlatt, our climate editor. a 12—year—old boy who suffered a devastating brain injury three months ago should have his treatment withdrawn, a high court judge has ruled. mrjustice hayden said compelling medical evidence showed archie battersbee had no hope of recovery. let's speak to our correspondent katharine da costa, who's outside the court. thank you, yes. in the last few minutes the family read a statement outside court saying that the judgment had been a blow and they don't believe removing life support is an archie boss might best interests. they confirmed they are seeking to launch another appeal. archie has been described as a keen gymnast full of life and energy. his

mother said he had been a fighter and she would continue to fight for treatment to continue, but he hasn't regained consciousness since he suffered a severe brain injury following an incident at his home in essex in early april. his parents believe he may have been taking part in an online challenge. doctors at the royal london hospital have said that archie is brain dead and with no prospect of recovery. last month high courtjudge ruled that treatment could lawfully be withdrawn, but his parents challenged that decision at the court of appeal and they won, and today, mrjustice hayden said the medical prognosis was bleak and he said it was not in archie's best interests to remain on a ventilator. he added that arrangements could be put in place to allow archie to die peacefully surrounded by his family. but his parents have said this is not the end of the road. his mother added, where there is life, there is hope. you line thank you, katherine da costa.

a a5—year—old british man, captured in ukraine and held by pro—russian separatist forces, has reportedly died in captivity. officials from the self—proclaimed donetsk people's republic, who were holding paul urey, say he died five days ago from underlying health conditions and "stress". our correspondent, joe inwood, is in the ukrainian capital, kyiv. tell us what you know. paul urey and another man. — tell us what you know. paul urey and another man, dylan _ tell us what you know. paul urey and another man, dylan healy, _ tell us what you know. paul urey and another man, dylan healy, were - another man, dylan healy, were captured by russian forces back in april trying to cross into russian occupied territory supposedly on a humanitarian mission to rescue a family and obviously went disastrously wrong and he's been in captivity ever since. the only thing we've seen of him as a single video put out by the authorities and we found the news today that he is reportedly died, as you say, of health conditions and stress while in captivity. his mother has put out a statement saying she is absolutely devastated, she is in shock and she blames the russian authorities for

what has happened. interestingly the russians say paul urey was there as a mercenary. that's something that strenuously denied by both his family here, the presidium network who have been working with him, and the british foreign office. they've not confirmed the death officially but it's thought the reports are accurate. there's been thought in recent weeks and months the russians have been using british hostages and captives as part of some political tool, as some negotiating strategy. if that is the case then paul urey has paid a very high price indeed for that tactic.— for that tactic. thank you, joe inwood, for that tactic. thank you, joe inwood. in — for that tactic. thank you, joe inwood, in kyiv. _ the head of the uk's biggest private sector union has warned of a "summer of discontent" over pay. sharon graham said it was "abhorrent" that the people who kept britain going through the pandemic were facing real—terms wage cuts. her comments come as the rmt union announced more strike dates — which could bring large parts of the rail network to a standstill once again. our business correspondent

carrie davies reports. empty tracks and stationary trains, going nowhere. welcome to euston. .. this wasjune's rail strike, but there are more on the way. a0,000 train workers from the rmt union will walk out on the 27th ofjuly and now also on the 18th and 20th of august. train drivers from the aslef union from eight companies will also strike on the 30th ofjuly. the rmt said the rail industry and government needed to get serious about a pay offer. if you don't get a pay rise that matches the rate of inflation, you're getting poorer year on year, and that's been happening to many public sector workers for the last 12 years. so, i want a pay rise for everyone in this country and in this economy. what's happening is the rich are getting richer, profits are being maintained and even accelerating, while workers are getting poorer. that cannot continue. unions are confident that with so many struggling with the cost of living, the public will stay onside.

but this morning at london bridge, there were mixed reactions to the strikes. it's ridiculous, it's happening too often. we're doctors, and it's difficult for us to get round and do our procedures. i had to cancel something in the last strike. it's a nightmare, really, isn't it? the only strength that we have as workers is our labour, - so withholding that is the only way that we can get what we need — i and in the rising cost of living crisis, i'm all for it. _ everyone should go on strike. there should be a general strike. the group that represents the rail companies says that strikes cause more problems than solutions. no one wins in the event of a strike. the taxpayer has to subsidise more, staff have to lose more wages, and of course it puts off customers from travelling. it's not just rail. strikes have been threatened across the economy. as employers offer pay rises that full short of the high rate of inflation. the head of the uk's biggest private sector union says that this has been a while in the making. in the main, the companies that

we're talking about that are taking us to the wire are making profits, and those companies now need to make sure that workers get a piece of the pie. i don't think that's militant, i think that's basically saying workers deserve to get more money in their pay packets, it's as simple as that. as the summer and disputes continue, even more strike dates could be added to the diary. caroline davies, bbc news. the time is 1.16. our top story this lunchtime... the met office warns of a possible risk to life as temperatures head towards a0 in parts of england on monday and tuesday. and still to come... we hear that despite offering well—paid jobs, there's a lack of talent in the tech sector. coming up on the bbc news channel — their fates may already be decided, but both northern ireland and england have a meeting to savour in theirfinal group game at the women's euros in southampton tonight.

the government is being urged to formally apologise to hundreds of thousands of unmarried mums who were forced into giving up their babies for adoption. a cross—party group of mps and peers began investigating after a series of reports by bbc news — they found nearly 200,000 mothers were coerced into adoption in the three decades after the second world war. duncan kennedy reports. these are the faces of forced adoption. the mother is shamed into giving up the babies they wanted to keep and the children taken from them. t keep and the children taken from them. ., , , , ., them. i found myself pregnant in 1963. i them. i found myself pregnant in 1963- iwill— them. i found myself pregnant in 1963. | will still _ them. i found myself pregnant in 1963. i will still at school. - them. i found myself pregnant in 1963. i will still at school. pat - 1963. iwill still at school. pat tugwellwas— 1963. i will still at school. pat tugwell was unmarried and pregnancy out of the major taboos of post—war

worrying for employers with absences, for example in the nhs and social care. not necessarily so worrying for hospitals in terms of numbers of seriously ill people, because we know that omicron is milder when it comes to making people seriously ill. worrying in a different way for someone who has an underlying health condition, a compromised immune system, who is going to be cautious about coming out. there are groups that feel a bit left out of the debates and the fact that covid is spreading and writing quite fast is a worry. so, the numbers are up 29%, 3.5 million in the week to last weekend, up from 2.7 million. largely fuelled by these new sub—variants of omicron which tend to spread more rapidly. if you look at the uk numbers, scotland has the highest case rate level. one in 16 had the virus, england one and 19, wales and

northern ireland won in 17. hospital numbers are creeping up, farfewer than we've had at previous peaks, its got up to about 16,000 across the uk or heading in that direction. but we should make it clear it's not quite where it was even in march this year, we had a.9 million infections one week. that's not that long ago. i think there is still a need for caution given the rate it's spreading, although schools are about to go on holiday, they are already on holiday in scotland and thatis already on holiday in scotland and that is one factor that will be taken out of the equation in terms of facilitating the spread of the virus. . ~' , ., the latest candidate to be knocked out of the conservative leadership contest, attorney general suella braverman, has announced she'll now support liz truss. the foreign secretary came third to the former chancellor rishi sunak and the trade minister penny mordaunt in the second round of voting. whoever wins the race to be the next prime minister, it will have been the most ethnically diverse political party

leadership contest in uk history. so, what does this tell us about british politics? our political correspondent, leila nathoo, reports. on the face of it, it's been the most diverse leadership contest yet in british politics. even as the candidates have been whittled down, it's striking that two of the five remaining contenders are people of colour. let me tell you a story. along the way, they've all pointed to their back stories. i come from an ordinary background. but the conversation around the contest has been less about how they look and more about what they'll do. don't vote for me because i'm brown. vote for me because i love this country. l tackle inflation, grow the economy, and cut taxes. i tell the truth, i fight for change, i stand up for people, and i stand up for the causes and the country i love. senior tories say the backgrounds of the candidates isn't a priority for the party. people are discussing issues, they're talking about tax, they're talking about the size of the state, they're talking

about foreign affairs. the conservative party is quite an individualistic party. people take you as they find you, and they are less interested in identity politics in terms of race or gender or any of those other issues. the conservative party certainly looks different these days. it was david cameron who on taking over as leader set out to get more minority candidates selected to save conservative seats. ——minority candidates selected to safe conservative seats. i've taken decisive steps to change the face of the conservative party. while the candidates are still courting support of their fellow mps to get through successive rounds of voting, it will in the end be up to fewer than 200,000 mostly white conservative party members to decide who wins. when members choose a leader, what they are looking for is someone who can communicate, someone who can radiate strength, someone who can bring the party together. that's very important as well. and of course, policy platform matters as well. i think all of those matter far more

than the colour of someone's skin. there's no denying that parliament is now more visibly representative of the country as a whole, and the conservative leadership contest reflects that. but there are still questions about how socially diverse this place and the candidates are, and with a future prime minister ——place and the candidates are, and would a future prime minister of colour pursue policies towards racial inequality, for example, that sets them apart from those who came before? tory mps and members will want to choose a leader they think can keep them in power. whoever wins this race will soon face all voters in a general election, and will have to attract support from all corners. leila nathoo, bbc news, westminster. technology experts are warning that a shortage of people with digital skills is threatening to harm the sector. the industry body tech nation says that more than two million vacancies were advertised over the last year — more than any other area of the uk labour market. shiona mccallum reports.

who stands beyond his sport, whose fame spans generations. we're following tiger. the first time we've seen him. we thought we'd come and see him in the flesh. i've seen tiger tee off on the first hole and he made a par. - and on the third, it got better. after a poor first round woods had to start advancing. he needed birdies desperately. well, there's one. there you go. it was a reason to smile, briefly, but there was no consistent form from tiger woods, no magical revival, and in fact it often looked painful. there are other younger americans actually contending for the lead here. scottie scheffler made three consecutive birdies during his second round. he's currently ranked world number one. tyrrell hatton, originally of high wycombe, enjoys this course, and he seemed to have the ball at his command. a lovely shot. here's china's haotong li sending

his ball towards the first green. watch with him as the same ball hurries back towards his feet. what? the wall of the blessed burn had caused the rebound and li wore the traditional expression of the perplexed st andrews golfer. players have definitely been enjoying themselves here today. dustinjohnson enjoying themselves here today. dustin johnson has just finished enjoying themselves here today. dustinjohnson has just finished his second round at dustinjohnson hasjust finished his second round at 9—under par. rory mcilroy tees off at three p m. tiger woods is still out there somewhere but he won't make the cut. he will not be joining but he won't make the cut. he will not bejoining us here at but he won't make the cut. he will not be joining us here at the weekend. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. as we've been hearing, earlier today the met office issued an unprecedented read extreme heat warning for parts of england with the peak of the heatwave due to come through monday and tuesday. the red warning because many of england's

largest cities. meanwhile, amber warnings for
