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 england and wales, reaching southern scotland as well. we are likely to see impacts. we seem very hot weather developing in spain and portugal, portugaljust a few tenths away from their national record. the heat has been coming north and come monday and tuesday we could see the uk temperature record get obliterated. it currently stands at 38.7, we could see a0. this is a dangerous heatwave just around the corner. today, many will have a dry day with a few showers drifting across south—east scotland into northern areas of england, perhaps reaching lincolnshire and norfolk but otherwise fine. high 20s in the south but otherwise comfortable. overnight not particularly humid, the showers clearing away and fresh night on the cards. temperatures between 9—1a. taking a look at the weekend, a few showers across northern areas of scotland, further south we've got lots of dry weather and sunshine and we are going to

start to see those temperatures rise. england and wales with highs of mid—to high 20s. scotland and northern ireland generally about 20-23. northern ireland generally about 20—23. those temperatures rise further on sunday. northern areas could see a bit of rain for a time but elsewhere we've got some sunshine, the wind is starting to come up from the south and the heat starting to build. instead of high 20s we are talking about low 30s, widely across england and wales. and then heading into monday, more sunshine and this is when the heat becomes even more extreme. potentially seeing a0 in london, that could smash the uk temperature record and it's notjust the high temperatures by day. this is 10pm at night, monday night, 33 in the capital. you're going to struggle to sleep. then another hot day to follow. temperature is widely pretty extreme levels. we've not seen a

read extreme heat warning ever issued here in the uk before but we have seen plenty of heat waves. what i have to tell you about heatwaves, here in the uk when they come along they kill thousands of people. you need to take this really seriously. keep your house cooler by keeping the curtains shot on the sunlit side and don't open your windows unless it's cooler outside. if you're struggling with the heat, head to a library where you might find some air conditioning. that's all from the bbc news at one. i'm back at 5pm on the news channel. now it's time for the news where you are. good afternoon. it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. the your latest sports news. sun is out at st andrews a

are the sun is out at st andrews and we are halfway through the second round of the open and there is a new leader, as dustinjohnson has gone round in 67 to hit nine under par and the man overnight leader has teed off and let speak to ben. and cameron young was leading for about 2a hours, roughly speaking and now he is not as he begins the second round. he he is not as he begins the second round. . , [k he is not as he begins the second round. 1k ., , he is not as he begins the second round. ., 1k ., , ., ., ~ he is not as he begins the second round. 1k ., , ., , round. he has 18 holes to make up, but dustin johnson _ round. he has 18 holes to make up, but dustin johnson is _ round. he has 18 holes to make up, but dustin johnson is the _ round. he has 18 holes to make up, but dustin johnson is the new - round. he has 18 holes to make up, | but dustin johnson is the new leader but dustinjohnson is the new leader of the open championship and the sun is shining on us eventually at st andrews. it was a damp, soggy start and the wind was becalmed and a dj played his greatest hits with johnson going round in 5—under par, including a birdie on the 18th and he started with a bogey on the first but made more than amends for that as he goes to the top of the leaderboard, one shot clear of cameron young and the early conditions were conducive to low scoring, so who made the most of it? we can take a look at the leaderboard and tyrrell hatton is

doing brilliantly, six birdies, no bogeys for him and is sitting on 8—under par alongside the world number one, masters champion scottie scheffler and cameron young who is getting under way in his second round. taylor gooch, another one of the golfers, an impressive round at 7—under par and adam scott, you might remember him in 2012 at royal lytham who threw a four shot lead with four holes to play, who is right in contention as well and later on this afternoon in the slightly more breezy conditions, rory mcilroy getting under way before three o'clock when scoring might be a little trickier. down the bottom of the leaderboard we have the name of tiger woods. just bottom of the leaderboard we have the name of tiger woods.— the name of tiger woods. just to kee- the name of tiger woods. just to keep peeple _ the name of tiger woods. just to keep people informed _ the name of tiger woods. just to keep people informed about - the name of tiger woods. just to keep people informed about he l the name of tiger woods. just to | keep people informed about he is going with potentially missing the cut and maybe never returning to st andrews as a professional golfer. it is a big next hour or so in the life of tiger woods. i is a big next hour or so in the life of tiger woods.— is a big next hour or so in the life of tiger woods. i think it will be a bi hour of tiger woods. i think it will be a big hour for _ of tiger woods. i think it will be a big hour for all _ of tiger woods. i think it will be a big hour for all of _ of tiger woods. i think it will be a big hour for all of the _ of tiger woods. i think it will be a big hour for all of the fans - of tiger woods. i think it will be a big hour for all of the fans away i of tiger woods. i think it will be a | big hour for all of the fans away on the far side of the course right now because this could well be the last chance they get to see tiger woods

as an open at st andrews because he's not going to make the cut unless he has a miraculous last few holes, sitting at 7—over par. he started at 6—over. really couldn't get going in the colder conditions this morning. i saw him on the 5th hole and he was warming up, doing some stretches, just trying to get something going but his potter has not been firing and he has been finding the bunkers and really struggling this week and it will be a shame for the man of tiger woods's touch, twice an open champion at st andrews but it looks likely will be bowing out by not making the cut. then, thank you very much. for the first time the world athletics championships are being hosted in the us — a country where track and field is a huge participation sport at high school, but has often failed to grasp the nation's attention at elite level. but eugene, oregon, famous for its links to a notable sportswear company, is the city tasked with breaching that gap. the championships will take place

at hayward field, a smaller arena than most would expect but, according to the organisers, one that's fit for purpose. you know, the us track and field team has consistently, for the largest part of my lifetime has been the powerhouse of track and field. this is the largest sports market in the world and there isn't a federation president in any other olympic sport that i have met that isn't as keen as i have been to take and have our world championships in this marketplace. the fates of the two home nations meeting in the women's euros tonight may well be set but for both northern ireland and england it's still a significant match in southampton. it is the first time the countries have faced each other in major tournaments. northern ireland are out, but want to leave on a high, but if they want to take anything from the game they need to keep ellen white quiet with the striker

$1 way of equalling wayne rooney's record of 53 international goals. it is matter if you are a man or a woman, if you are great, you are great and for her to have achieved that over the success she has had over a long period of time, that tells you everything need to know. she has been fantastic for england for a very long time, so of course, it's great to have her on my team. regarding that match, breaking news reaching us that the england head coach has tested positive for covid and will miss the game in southampton against northern ireland and will undertake a period of recovery and isolation at the squat�*s base camp and will remain in remote contact with players and technical staff. remote contact with players and technicalstaff. our remote contact with players and technical staff. our system will be in charge and you can follow that in all of the build—up to the women's euros match tonight as group a comes to a conclusion on the bbc sport website. or indeed the app as well. i will be back for more in an hour.

we will listen to the conservative leader is public costings since the contest began and people have been able to submit questions for the online event hosted by the conservative home website unless listen to penny morden right now. —— penny mordaunt. kemi badenoch? thank ou, paul. penny mordaunt. kemi badenoch? thank you. paul. the — penny mordaunt. kemi badenoch? thank you, paul. the question _ penny mordaunt. kemi badenoch? thank you, paul. the question was, _ penny mordaunt. kemi badenoch? “maria; you, paul. the question was, why am i best place to stand up to vladimir putin. it's because i, more than anyone, understandjust putin. it's because i, more than anyone, understand just how important it is that the uk remains a force for good in the world and is seen as a force for good in the world. the threat to our country on numerous are existential and we need to show that we are a strong country that cannot be pushed around. in every single opportunity that i was given as a minister, when we were threatened by opposition parties, i stood firm and was incredibly robust and i did not allow anyone to smear

our reputational pushers around. that is the sort of attitude i will be bringing on the international stage. it is critically important that countries around the world know that countries around the world know that we are there to protect those who cannot protect themselves and that we look after the vulnerable. but we will not be able to do that if we are not strong and i believe in strong defence and i think it is important we continue to meet our commitments to nato and i think when you do all of these things in around, people like putin, who are a threat to the country are looking for weaknesses at every opportunity will know that we are not a country to be trifled with. on ukraine, i believe it is important because of the vulnerabilities they have to continue support them and i think that a loss in that war would be terrible for us for many years to come. the long—term threat would be significant and we, along with our allies in the western world should do everything we can to protect the people. . do everything we can to protect the --eole.. . ~' ,, do everything we can to protect the --eole.. ., ~ , do everything we can to protect the

crisis, but over the years in the past. and when it comes to defence spending i take it incredibly seriously. in the covid pandemic when we were dealing with lots of things, i made an exception for the ministry of defence and in 2020, i sat down and made sure that they were provided with long—term funding certainty, something no other department had, but we singled out the mod because it was incredibly important and what we did was provide them with the biggest uplift in defence spending since the end of the cold war. that is what i did as chancellor, to deal with all of the problem is that people have read about, with the equipment black holes that they were grappling with, and all of that was solved with a significant uplift in funding i approved and i have continued to support them with more weapons and funding for ukraine as tom alighted on, but in terms of standing up to putin, what we have to have done is put in place some serious sanctions that made it difficult for him. and i work closely with liz and we will come to that in a moment and people

know that we have made him pay a price is through economic sanctions and working with liz, we have put together one of the most significant and far—reaching sanctions packages that the country has ever done and we have led the world in doing that and that is me and liz working with counterparts around the world to do a bunch of things, targeting russian financial assets of the state, their businesses, of the individuals and thatis businesses, of the individuals and that is what we have done to make a strong signal of intent and punish them for their actions. looking forward, all i would say is that defence spending is forecast to rise to two and a half percent and i don't take an approach which focuses on arbitrary figures. and for me i will invest what is required to keep the country safe, so i take a threat —based approach to it and i'm always thinking about future threats. my background, unlike tom is not in defence but as a backbench mp i wrote a paper highlighting one of the future threats to our security, the future threats to our security, the threat to undersea cables which

carry data and information which are increasingly an object of attack by our enemies and i highlighted russia. that paper has been quoted by three different chiefs of defence staff in various lectures so it gives people confidence that i'm thinking about the future threats in the country faces and as prime minister i will always make sure that we invest sufficiently to protect us against them. liz truss, ou are protect us against them. liz truss, you are also _ protect us against them. liz truss, you are also embedded _ protect us against them. liz truss, you are also embedded in - protect us against them. liz truss, you are also embedded in the - you are also embedded in the subject, so why do you think you are best placed in the five people to stand up to putin and support ukraine? ~ �* ., ukraine? we've led the world in standin: ukraine? we've led the world in standing up _ ukraine? we've led the world in standing up to _ ukraine? we've led the world in standing up to putin _ ukraine? we've led the world in standing up to putin and - ukraine? we've led the world in standing up to putin and led - ukraine? we've led the world inj standing up to putin and led the world _ standing up to putin and led the world in— standing up to putin and led the world in the hours of need. in sending — world in the hours of need. in sending weapons to ukraine, we have lead on _ sending weapons to ukraine, we have lead on sending heavy weapons and also lead _ lead on sending heavy weapons and also lead on sanctions. and it was at the _ also lead on sanctions. and it was at the g7 — also lead on sanctions. and it was at the 67 in — also lead on sanctions. and it was at the 67 in december last year that we agreed _ at the 67 in december last year that we agreed with colleagues that we would _ we agreed with colleagues that we would put in place coordinated sanctions _ would put in place coordinated sanctions if putin invaded ukraine

strong economy and that will be built on in terms of housing. when i've spoken about where we will get the money from, i've looked at the regulation, and it's taken too long to break away from europe and we need to take the brexit opportunity is offered and get the £100 billion out of dead money and put it into live communities and we can do that. we can turn it into homes and jobs and into opportunity and that is where i will be focused, because giving people a start in life and the ability to own their own home is fundamentally conservative. margaret thatcher did it. and she transformed lives. we can do it and we can do it again. and i'm going to do it when i am leading this country and when i'm leading our party. am leading this country and when i'm leading our party-— leading our party. thanks. penny, our view leading our party. thanks. penny, your view on _ leading our party. thanks. penny, your view on solving _ leading our party. thanks. penny, your view on solving the _ leading our party. thanks. penny, your view on solving the housing i your view on solving the housing crisis? , ., _ crisis? the first thing i would say is the thing _ crisis? the first thing i would say is the thing that _ crisis? the first thing i would say is the thing that does _ crisis? the first thing i would say is the thing that does not - crisis? the first thing i would say is the thing that does not help i crisis? the first thing i would say. is the thing that does not help get houses _ is the thing that does not help get hou5e5 built is target5. and i know

praised them for their actions saying they managed to move the restaurant quickly but it took until the tail end of the evening with a coastguard helicopter flying around to work out everyone was clear of the river and two people were treated by ambulance crews and taken to hospital and later in the night sadly died from a 2a—year—old woman from the local area and we've not heard any details of who she was and where she was from, we don't have the details but police officers say she is cared for by liaison officers at this time. she is cared for by liaison officers at this time-— she is cared for by liaison officers at this time. thank you very much, chris. at this time. thank you very much, chris- let's — at this time. thank you very much, chris. let's bring _ at this time. thank you very much, chris. let's bring you _ at this time. thank you very much, chris. let's bring you a _ at this time. thank you very much, chris. let's bring you a look- at this time. thank you very much, chris. let's bring you a look at - at this time. thank you very much, chris. let's bring you a look at the | chris. let's bring you a look at the weather. the met office average —— issued a red extreme heat warning for monday and tuesday and this is an unprecedented warning for an unprecedented warning for an unprecedented heatwave that is likely to smash the uk temperature record. for monday and tuesday, the red warning covers many of england's

largest cities and we are expecting widespread impacts on over recent days the heat has really been building across spain and portugal, some deep red colours showing temperatures way above average and the heat is starting to move northwards and will be across monday and tuesday but the current uk temperature stands at 38.7 celsius but we could see temperatures hit a0 degrees marks and that will bring widespread impacts on every time there is a heatwave in this country we see several thousand people dying as a result of the heat, so if you are elderly or have underlying health conditions, pay attention to this and keep your curtains shot on the sunlit side of the house and your window shut during the peak, and if the heat is getting to you, think about heading to a library where there might be some air—conditioning for a bit of respite. temperatures reach the upper 20s and for many is a dry day with sunny spells and showers working south across northern

england in the showers clear away and at this stage, actually, the air is still relatively fresh, so overnight lows of 9 degrees in glasgow, comfortable enough, i3 overnight lows of 9 degrees in glasgow, comfortable enough, 13 or 1a glasgow, comfortable enough, 13 or ia degrees in cardiff and london. make sure you open those windows first thing in the morning to let the cool air first thing in the morning to let the coolair in first thing in the morning to let the cool air in and as we head into saturday, pressure starts to build further across the uk and we start to see this temperatures rise more widely across england and wales into the high 20s, but still comfortable conditions for scotland and northern ireland. for scotland, there could be a few showers on sunday but further south again we have sunshine in the wind is coming up from the south bringing some of that continental air in and instead of talking about temperatures in the high 20s, we are back widely into the 30s across england and wales. the heat builds further on monday and this is the first of the roasting hot days. temperatures across scotland and northern ireland are likely to reach the upper 20s at least, but it could hit a0 celsius and the hottest areas, and this is

dangerous and unprecedented heat.
