highs of 40 celsius in some parts of england. people are being urged to stay safe and check on vulnerable people when the warning comes into force on monday. it will affect cities like london and manchester and is due to be lifted late on tuesday. graham satchell reports. temperatures in the coming days will be brutal. monday could be the hottest day in british history. they have gone home, do you want to id they have gone home, do you want to go into— they have gone home, do you want to go into that _ they have gone home, do you want to go into that cubicle? a national emergency has been declared. the red extreme heat warning means there is a risk to life. health achieves fear the nhs could be overwhelmed. i am worried we will have a surgery into next week, putting enormous pressure on notjust the emergency department for the system as a whole, but gps, communities, and well into the hospital as well. the whole system will be under pressure.

at warwickshire in this home they are doing all they can to keep people safe. bill is 81, the former mayor of stratford. each drink he takes as recorded on a hand—held device meaning hydration levels are constantly monitored. the weather out there is terrible, absolutely terrible. as far as i am concerned, it is something that we have got to be careful of. a fire and a barn in essex, at the tender dry conditions and extreme temperatures means there has been an increase in fire service culverts. the conditions for firefighters are a real challenge. unfortunately, i have my shirt and my trousers on underneath as well so it is incredibly hot, but we do is we make sure we can do everything we can to make sure our crews are supported, that we have plenty of bottled water on the ground, and it is all sorted about staying hydrated and standing in the shade were possible. they will be considerable disruption

in the coming days. in some parts of the country, train tracks have been painted white to deflect the head. potentially were looking at track temperatures in excess of 50 degrees and that will cause potential rail buckling. beach—goers and/or suggested a sheltered under umbrellas, others applying plenty of sunscreen. everyone concerned about what is to come. how are we going to seep? laughter with an element of dread really, it'll be so warm. it is nice to have nice weather, but it is a little bit too warm i guess. i'm a bit concerned but i'm determined i will be sitting outside but in _ determined i will be sitting outside but in a _ determined i will be sitting outside but in a very, sheltered spot. she _ but in a very, sheltered spot. she said. _ but in a very, sheltered spot. she said, she would put a bikini on. get straight — she said, she would put a bikini on. get straight down _ she said, she would put a bikini on. get straight down there. _ get straight down there. in get straight down there. in south— get straight down there. in south wales, - get straight down there. i in south wales, margarito get straight down there. - in south wales, margarito and ira are taking in at the seabreeze. they have some good advice for keeping

of questions from a studio audience, covering the nhs, whether borisjohnson was honest, and how they would deal with the cost of living. our political correspondent alex forsyth reports. applause. the stage was set, the candidates poised to pitch. in a matter of weeks, one of these five will be prime minister. first up, the question of trust. each said they could be trusted in government, but they were asked is borisjohnson honest? ah... laughter. sometimes. there have been some really severe issues and i think that he has paid a price for that. i tried to give him the benefit of the doubt for as long - as possible and ultimately, i i reached the conclusion that i couldn't, and that's why i resigned. - he himself has said that some of the statements issued were not 100% accurate, so i take that at face value. tom tugendhat, is boris johnson an honest man? no. - applause. that was the first applause of the evening. then, there was disagreement over who'd taken what position on transgender rights

when they were in government. i've never been in favour of self id. i would've made the system much better, but i would never have divorced it from healthcare. i didn't work with penny, but my understanding was that the previous minister who had done the rule had wanted self id, and that was something that i reversed with liz. so, who's right? i'm not going to go around... tell the truth, liz. ..criticising other candidates in this race. tell the truth, liz. what i will be clear about is i started in the women and equalitiesjob. there was a plan to move forward on self id. exactly. which she said she changed. then, real divisions exposed over the economy — in particular whether tax rises introduced by the government should be reversed. we need to help people now and that's why if i was elected as prime minister, i would immediately reverse the national insurance increases — which i called out in cabinet, i was opposed

to them in cabinet. i'd also remove the green energy levy. so, i don't think the responsible thing to do right now is launch into some unfunded spree of borrowing and more debt. that willjust make inflation worse. just briefly. it will make the problem longer. applause. the former chancellor seemed happy to take on his colleagues. liz, we have to be honest. we have to be honest. iam being honest! but borrowing your way out of inflation isn't a plan, it is a fairytale. i think it is wrong to put taxes up because that is what we're talking about. he found himself defending his own policy. because i was the only one who didn't vote for the rise in national insurance - and it now seems everybody agrees with me. applause. i did a difficult thing to make sure that the nhs... rishi, and to be fair to you... ..and you voted against it. and that's the reality. to be fair to you, rishi, - what we did is we had a long conversation about it - and you set out your position and i asked why on earth this was going to be necessary. and you told me because the boss wanted it. - now, the reality is... gasps.

applause. this was a tussle for economic credibility. i have done two things. one is on raising income thresholds in line with inflation. but also, yes, i have said that i will halve vat on fuel at the pump. the best way to help everyone, the best way to make sure that they have money in their pocket, is to get a grip on inflation. and that should be everybody's priority because that's the thing that's going to erode everyone's living standards. the two things, rishi, that you haven't realised is i know you know that people are going to need more help this autumn but, actually, people need help now. tax cuts are there to let - people keep more of their own money so that they can deal with inflation and cost - of living issues. that's why we do it. it's not so that we can cut public services, i and there are other ways to do — and there are other ways- to do both. this was a pitch notjust at party, but to country. as an engineer, i know how| to strip things down and get them to work. and with me as your prime - minister, we all have to change for the better. we're seeing division and disunity and we can pull people together. i'm not the traditional offer.

i'm not the legacy candidate. but the choice at this election is who can be trusted to grip. this moment and get things done. - now is not the time for a continuity of our current economic policy. applause. time is up! the question, of course, who's gonna win? it is 6:10am. a british man paul urey who was held by russian—backed separatists in ukraine has died in detention. paul urey, originally from warrington, was detained in april and accused of being a mercenary. officials from the group said he died in captivity on the 10th july from underlying health conditions and stress. our correspondentjoe inwood joins us now. joe, what more do we know about the circumstances surrounding paul urey�*s death?

no, mr urey had been in detention in the donetsk people's republic, so called, he was trying with dylan healy to cross into occupied territory in what seems to have been a very elevated humanitarian mission. when arrested he was accused of being a mercenary, something he and his family strenuously denied, as do the british government. we know that on 10 july because of, according to the donetsk people's republic, underlying health conditions he died. we found out about this yesterday, five days after his death. his mother has been very emotional, very upset, angry at what she sees as the mistreatment of a son. the british government have said the same thing, yesterday they said the same thing, yesterday they said they some of the russian ambassador and foreign secretary lizz truss, she said that they should be held accountable for his death. and they have a number of deadly

attacks recently targeting ukraine, told by the latest in dnipro. yes, they west sorry straight across the country yesterday down in odesa, but it was in dnipro that the missile seems to have had the most impact. they had an industrial facility we understand in the city and killed three people. there was a really graphic image on social media of a bus driver who had finished a shift and was going back, and his head was mostly destroyed. another example of ordinary people going about their lives, dying in russian missile drugs. ukraine says it needs urgent shipments of long—range artillery and other weapons to slow the advance of russian forces in the east of the country. ukraine has received huge amounts of military equipment from more than 30 countries, but its troops are still heavily outgunned in some areas. our defence correspondent jonathan beale reports. on the ukraine's eastern front, they

are about to target russian positions. this time, using american supplied howitzers and ammunition. ukraine still vastly outgunned. these help, but they can't hang around. western weapons like this have given ukraine an advantage in terms of accuracy and range, but they have also become high—value targets, with russia trying to hunt them down. they prepared to move out quickly before they become the target. explosions well, that is the russian reply coming injust now. they well, that is the russian reply coming in just now. they fired their shots and within minutes russian artillery were responding. shells landing close to was where we are now. 110w. explosion

there is another one. this time, they miss. the howitzers getaway. we also make our exit to the cover of a forest. a russian surveillance drone has been spotted overhead. the artillery commander tells me the russians are regularly targeting them because of their western weapons. because they are precise and effective, he says. having — mag ukraine is also had to learn a western way of war, one focused on position. and this rocket launcher, ukraine doesn't have many, but it can now strike targets from distance. but, it is creating a massive logistical challenge. ukraine's now having to maintain dozens of weapons from dozens of countries, like these british supplied armoured vehicles. each one requires a separate training and spare parts. and weapons are

supplied by the west also use a different calibre of ammunition, like these german self—propelled guns. do you have enough ammunition for this kind? yes. can you tell me how many rounds you have for each of weapons? two, when he rounds for the russians. claiming they are not directly involved in this conflict, but in truth, now an essential part of ukraine's or machine. johnathan beale, bbc news, east ukraine. the us president, joe biden, said he raised the murder ofjournalist jamal khashoggi during a meeting with saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman last night. he visited saudi arabia in an attempt to rebuild relations despite previous promises to make the country a pariah over its human rights record. the white house said president biden will also be meeting other arab leaders at a conference in the city ofjeddah today.

i raised at the top of the meeting reading it clear what i thought about the time and what i think of now, and i was straightforward and direct in discussing, i made my view crystal clear. i said very straightforwardly, for an american president to be silent on an issue of human rights is is consistent with who we are and who i am. i always stand up for our values. let's have a look at some of today's front pages. several of them focus on the uk's first—ever red alert for heat from the met office. the mirror describes it as a "national emergency" and reports that transport will be disrupted, and the nhs is expecting more casualties as temperatures rise over the weekend. astonishing to see that 40 figure there on the map. the telegraph leads on a story about penny mordaunt, one of the frontrunners in the conservative leadership race. the mp told the paper she is being targeted in a smear

campaign, and insisted that she is up to the job of prime minister. meanwhile, the daily mail's lead story focuses on promises of a "radical overhaul of the tax system" by ms mordaunt�*s leadership contest rival, the foreign secretary, liz truss. we will talk a lot about this over the course of the morning. that red alert for heat over the coming days. if you want to find out more about how it might affect you, there's lots of information at bbc.co.uk/weather. including a lot of top tips about how to stay cool in the heat. it how to stay cool in the heat. it is not 'ust how to stay cool in the heat. it is not just monday _ how to stay cool in the heat. it 3 not just monday and tuesday. the notjust monday and tuesday. the weather is building towards that peak temperature, isn't it, over the weekend. good morning. we will see challenges today in the high 20s and tomorrow into the low 30s and normally we would say that is to what for many, but actually potentially on monday we could see temperatures around or just in excess of 40 degrees. the first time we will potentially be 40 degrees, and so the first time we

have got this red warning that has been issued by the met office. really worth stressing that this is extreme unprecedented heat, a danger to life. you have to treat this like you were a severe weather warning or a show you were a severe weather warning or a snow event or a damaging gust of wind. it really is that serious. and it looks likely to last for a couple of days. it is quite widespread as well. it is not a london based event. it extends into manchester and into the leeds area. anywhere within this red circle could potentially see temperatures close to 40 degrees and we have an amber extreme heat weather warning extending into wales and into southern scotland as well. where is coming from? it is coming from spain higher pressure drifts further east over the weekend. we see temperatures in excess of 50 degrees in spain so that will push its way steadily northwards as we go into monday and tuesday. that is when we are likely to see the potential for

that extreme heat. back to the here and now, back to that in a moment. but for many of us this morning we have some sunshine and warmth. a little more in the way of cloud in the far north—west, but we will see showery outbreaks of rain to the north—west and maybe into northern ireland. tablet is not quite as high here, 12 to 20 degrees, but elsewhere we will see me to high 20s quite likely as we go through the afternoon. looking at high uv through the course of the day, some sea breezes developing a bit more pleasant close to the coast, and as we go through the evening hours in overnight, we see some showery outbreaks of rain putting into northern england as well as the weather front drifts eastwards across scotland. clear skies and warmth holding down to the south. we start off dry, subtle and sunny, they could be some early morning drizzle easing away to the east of the pennines first thing as we go through the day on sunday, dry, increasingly warm, particularly into parts of central and eastern

scotland, along with northern ireland. mid 20s here but we could possibly see the temperatures peaking at 32 degrees on sunday. eight arrived potentially on monday also better than we could see temperatures widely across england and wales into the mid 30s as high as 40 degrees. similar story as well into tuesday. this is really serious. dangerous potentially. stay out of the sunshine particularly through the part of the day. make sure you drink plenty of water, keep yourself and your pets at home as cool as possible. ventilate houses if all possible. butjust cool as possible. ventilate houses if all possible. but just to cool as possible. ventilate houses if all possible. butjust to end on a glimmer of slightly more optimistic note, as we move into wednesday, we could see some sharp showers developing and something a little bit more comfortable as we move through the weekend. back to you two. thank you. we were chatting with you throughout the morning, and even very close eye on that as the temperatures start to rise. for now, thank you. looking at the european

map, it is incredibly hot right across europe, so we will look at the picture in spain, portugal and france throughout the morning. finding out some top tips from people used to higher temperatures about how you might stay cool over the next few days. it's time now for a look at this week's movie releases on the film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. mark, you're going to start with something that's quite nostalgic for some of us? well, we have an interesting batch this week. we've got the railway children return. it is the sequel to the much loved classic. we have the good boss. it was spain public entry into...

and we have the grey man, by the russo brothers. but let's start with railway children return. a couple of weeks ago it was back in cinemas for the sunday will a lovely time. i think it was number 66 in the list of best british films of all time. this is a sequel set during world war ii. evacuees are sent from cities to countryside where they're taken in by the daughter of bobby, who is now the grandmother. amazing. the kids have adventures, which include chancing upon a young african—american soldier who they find hiding on the railway. here's a clip. 0ne...two...three! screaming stay there! stay back! i said stay back! you're all kids? are you german? no, i'm american.

lama i am a soldier on your side. why are you here? lam injured. shall we call the army? no, i'm fine. it's bleeding. i told you i'm fine. i've been through much worse than a cut leg. i go! you won't see me again! why don't you want us to call the army? they can help you? lam i am really not supposed to be telling — i am really not supposed to be telling you _ i am really not supposed to be telling you this. _ but i'm on a mission. a secret army mission, and i can't talk about it but i need to carry on. so i need you to tell. no—one, understand? no—one! there are enemy spies everywhere. there is something really charming about that. "are you german?" in the first film, they take in one of the paper chase runners. they develop a friendship and that is part of the plot. in this, the kids once

again come to the rescue. there are shenanigans that involve stopping a train with homemade signs. this time, the plot touches upon racism and the suffragettes, so it's kind of a more modern sensibility. with all those callbacks to the original. here's the thing — it's very, very hard to follow a film as well loved as lioneljeffries's original. what this does is it seems to be made by people who love the originalfor all the right reasons and do care about honouring the spirit of it. i don't think this is a classic, but what it is is a piece of family entertainment of the sort we don't really have at the moment. nowadays if you want the family to see a film, it is pretty much cgi, animation, big blockbusteramerican animation, big blockbuster american reductions. —— productions. this feels like an old—fashioned full of entertainment, but i'm kind of nostalgic. some of it's a bit creaky, some of it doesn't quite come together quite as well as it could, and it's not the classic

that the original is. but it's made with heart and soul. the young performers are really terrific. its heart is definitely in the right place and i was just watching it again, if you are trying to get the whole family to go to the cinema, the kids would enjoy it and the older people like me would watch it going, i love the railway children! i love everything about it. it's kind of charming, and weirdly sort of out of place with moderate cinema in a way that is hard to resist. it looks sort of quaint and chalming. a slightly enid blighton feel to it. but quaint, not as a criticism. it does have modern sensibility, but it is an old movie. but then, the original film was old fashioned as well. that is what made it so interesting. very different, the good boss, which was spain's entry, nominated for a record—breaking 20 awards. i think it's the main reason to see it. he is the slimy boss of a provincial business

that makes industrial scales. he says his workers are his family. he treats them all like his family. the company is up for a business excellence award, so what he needs is the company to look good. however, his right—hand man is having marital crisis. his work is falling apart. one of the employees has been sacked and set up a protest camp outside the factory with banners demanding justice. meanwhile, javier's character is doing what he appears to have done before, which is behaving in a predatory manner towards a young intern. that is pretty much what it is. it's a corporate satire. it takes pretty kind of familiar pops at corporate capitalism. the whole fact that they make scales is a metaphor that is very heavily overworked. the scales ofjustice being tipped — they tramp that into the ground a little bit.

but he does that thing about smiling, patrician, trust me. when underneath, he has the morals of a snake. i think he plays that really well. it is worth it for his performance. he's got an extraordinary face. he has a very, very expressive face. with one expression, he can look nice but deeply threatening. he has a very expressive face. new movie by the russo brothers. ryan gosling is a convict. he is recruited by the cia. they want him to join an elite force that will operate in the grey area. hence the grey man. he is sent on missions to terminate bad guys. the mission is not that bad. he ends up in possession of a computer drive and at odds with his increasingly sinister superiors.

here's a clip. you want to explain whatever that was? _ it doesn't qualify. as an explanation. maybe on a secure line. i need a status report. insecure tine. — to the target say anything to you? well, he was dead, so no. what about pocket litter? did you get anything off his body? did he have anything on his person? that you _ did he have anything on his person? that you now— did he have anything on his person? that you now have _ did he have anything on his person? that you now have that _ did he have anything on his person? that you now have that you - did he have anything on his person? that you now have that you would i that you now have that you would like to _ that you now have that you would like to give — that you now have that you would like to give to _ that you now have that you would like to give to me? _ that you now have that you would like to give to me? ilitt�*ho - that you now have that you would like to give to me?— a bad guy. last chance, six. understood. now, that is a surprisingly low—key interlude in a movie which for most of its running time is big guns, bigger guns, rocket launchers,

exploding helicopters, a fight in and out of a plane and an insane chase sequence. everything turn up into 11. it's the netflix production, but it's in cinema for a week. it's kind of... if what you want us to have your brain pummelled for two hours, this will do thejob. ana de armas was in no time to die is shaping up as a great action star. chris evans is bad because he has a moustache and because he doesn't wear socks, so we know immediately that he's very, very bad. the set pieces are... all the way through, the camera never sits still. it's always flying around and zooming hither. it's a lot of visual flash. not much substance, but i kind of think you probably don't go and see the grey man for substance. what you go and see it for big action set pieces,

and is fighty—fighty, shouting, smashing, boom. pretty much all the way through. there was a point where i thought i was quite tired. it doesn't let up, and the fight and chase sequences start and then they go on, and then they go on a little bit more. understatement is not in it. how do you feel about this? does this look like you're kind of film? you kind of forget it quickly. it is very surface, very empty. got to see it in the cinema, do you think on a big screen? here's the thing, i did, and i was thinking this is working because it's really loud and it's really big and it is boom, crashing, smashing. a lot of people nowadays have sound systems that are pretty decent, but i thought i had the best experience. it was seeing it in a nice screening room. it was nice and bright, nice and loud, made no sense whatsoever. it did what it said on the tin.

can't argue with that. those three are coming out now? they are out today- — best out already? have you've seen elvis? i haven't seen elvis. do yourself a favour. take my word for it. i know that some other... there is a difference of opinion. that's fine. it's very simple — i'm right and they're wrong. elvis is a masterpiece. are you elvis fan? yes, how can you not be? there are some who are not. the more you like elvis, the more you like the film. it tells the story in a way that is really inventive, visually splendid. it's all about his relationship with fame and with his adoring public. i've been in elvis fan since as far back as i can remember and i went into this so trepidatious. i thought they would get it wrong and this stuff out.

by the end, i was in tears. it's absolutely brilliant. don't listen to anyone else. it's a masterpiece and you need to go and see it in a cinema with a big sound system. don't see it on the fence? no. best dvd? drive my car, a japanese drama. it was the best international feature sensation at the oscars. this features my favourite soundtrack. when i saw this at the cinema, it is the best part of three hours long. i thought it is a challenge. three hours is tough. when you are at home, three hours watching something on dvd, nowadays people binge watch entire box sets, so that's perfectly fine. the soundtrack really, really brought me back to it, so if you haven't seen it, do go and see it. it is great. weirdly, it may be designed to watch at home. excellent. but go see elvis! i'll try to see them all. everyone must see elvis! ok, we've heard you. that is it for this week. thank you very much for watching. bye— bye.

hello, this is breakfast with rachel burden and ben thompson. a big, big weekend of sport. you can look in any direction to spending on modules borders and be entertained. where shall we start? absolutely, it has been _ where shall we start? absolutely, it has been like this every weekend. every— has been like this every weekend. every weekend so far, big weekend of sport _ every weekend so far, big weekend of sport at— every weekend so far, big weekend of sport. at one stop, will it? let's start— sport. at one stop, will it? let's start with — sport. at one stop, will it? let's start with a _ sport. at one stop, will it? let's start with a woman zeros. the

injecting some energy. england were defending beautifully but they could do nothing about this. and with beth closing in on the golden boot, a deflection brought her fifth of the tournament. a triple substitution at half—time saw russo on. boy did she make her mark. moments later, she was at it again. this deft tone was something special. brilliant! and an unfortunate own goal made it five when england sent a message that they are the team to beat. northern ireland sent fan zone. they didn't play their best. they didn't play their best. they have done so, so well. this is the art they have done so, so well. this is the part of— they have done so, so well. this is the part of something _ they have done so, so well. this is the part of something much - they have done so, so well. this is| the part of something much bigger, isn't it? _ isn't it? we're going to win! it we're going to win! it is— we're going to win! it is up! _ it is up! laughs. the girls were superb. such inspiration for these two. these two play football. they are role models, wonderful. another record—breaking night for england, the most goals scored in

the group stages. they will now prepare for the quarter—final next prepare for the quarter—final week, and northern ireland will return to their dayjobs. football is coming home, bradley. austria are through to the quarter—finals after a 1—0 win against norway in brighton. nicole billa's header saw austria finish as runners—up to england in group a. norway, who've won the tournament twice, failed to respond to their 8—0 loss to the lionesses, and are now on their way home. rory mcilroy is in good shape, coming into the weekend at the st andrews. he's three shot off the lead at the open, going into day three, and it was an emotional day for tiger woods. he's very much been the star attraction, at the home of golf. after those life changing injuries suffered in a car crash last year, woods struggled, and waved an emotional farewell in what he admits could be his last open tournament there. joe wilson reports from the old course. 10am, tiger woods was out again trying to summon one more

extraordinary round from his aching body. they were watching, of course they were watching. he is still really the one golfer who stands beyond this board, whose fame spans generations. i have seen it target tee off on the first anti— our path. but the low score he needed didn't come. no magical revival. in fact, it often look painful. is for the place he might win, a different story, going on simultaneously in different parts of st. andrews. with the second row not beginning until early afternoon, rory mcilroy had plenty of time to prepare, but it is holding your nerve here that matters. mcavoy stayed right in touch, ten underpar. it has got the line. well said. suddenly, a contender emerges from thin air, from nowhere, norway. what a shot. the young men to catch

is cameron smith, this eagle putt took to 13 underpar. to the top of the leaderboard. yes! only the better scoring players stay for the weekend. tiger woods — nine of the park — knew that is open was as he strode up the 18th. all of those emotions can be concealed. joel wilson, bbc news, st. andrews. so good to see him in action. to the world athletics championships, plenty of british action overnight. mostly the hits at this stage but laura muir is safely through to the semifinals of the 1500 metres, second in her head. she also won silver in it the 1500s. in the men's, hues qualified for the semifinals of the season, 9.97 seconds. finishing second behind one of the key favourites for gold, fred kersley. take a look at this year.

holly bradshaw had to withdraw from the pole vaulting because her polar snap during her head resulting in injury. she has withdrawn as a precaution. england's women produced a dominant performance to beat south africa by 114 runs in the second one day international. sophia dunkley was england's star in bristol, hitting this brilliant six on the way to her first ever international century. england top four batters all scored more than 50 for the first time in a women's odi. andy murray's grass court season ended with defeat by alexander bublik in the hall of fame open quarter—finals. the world number 52 lost in straight sets to the kazakh in newport on the north—east coast of the united states. murray is set to appear at the citi open later this month as part of his preparations for the us open starting at the end of august. there we go, good to see murray back in action. we saw a bit of him in

wimbledon but after all he has been through it is great to see him back. whether he can perform a top level again, that is unsure but good to see him in action because it showed that with the rehab and all he had been through, physically, he can make the comeback.— been through, physically, he can make the comeback. yes, and we will talk about the — make the comeback. yes, and we will talk about the regulator. _ make the comeback. yes, and we will talk about the regulator. i _ make the comeback. yes, and we will talk about the regulator. i know - make the comeback. yes, and we will talk about the regulator. i know we i talk about the regulator. i know we will because it is the deciders. i will because it is the deciders. i know, all of them! amazing - will because it is the deciders. i know, all of them! amazing fall will because it is the deciders. i i know, all of them! amazing fall of the home nations _ know, all of them! amazing fall of the home nations against - know, all of them! amazing fall of the home nations against the - the home nations against the southern hemisphere. especially ireland u- southern hemisphere. especially ireland up against _ southern hemisphere. especially ireland up against new - southern hemisphere. especially ireland up against new zealand, | southern hemisphere. especially- ireland up against new zealand, you know, to win a series new zealand i don't think they have done that. so that would have been incredible and back—to—back wins for them as well, they seem like the only team that can be easier deployment. your back we may keep an mind that while you're in the studio! laughs. galaxy later. 6:40am. dartmoor national park is one of the only places in england where you can go wild camping, meaning tourists can pitch a tent almost anywhere on its miles of beautiful open moorland. but many of the local residents, tired of clearing up litter and repairing damage left by visitors, want to see stricter limits on camping there. john maguire has been

to find out more. we have to clean up after people, from human excrement. do you? two dirty nappies. do you? two di nauies. ., doyou? twodi nauies. . ., two dirty nappies. katie love everything — two dirty nappies. katie love everything about _ two dirty nappies. katie love everything about working - two dirty nappies. katie love| everything about working on. two dirty nappies. katie love - everything about working on. more, well, almost everything. cleaning up after some visitors is no fun at all. the onus on the clear up from the camping is on the owners, so that comes out through, you know, our personal pockets. they aren't deep at all. and so, you know, we are having to personally clear up ourselves, and also try and make good ourselves.— ourselves, and also try and make good ourselves. dartmoor is a wild and wonderful— good ourselves. dartmoor is a wild and wonderful place, _ good ourselves. dartmoor is a wild and wonderful place, but _ good ourselves. dartmoor is a wild and wonderful place, but as - good ourselves. dartmoor is a wild and wonderful place, but as with l good ourselves. dartmoor is a wild | and wonderful place, but as with all of these natural landscapes there is a landscape to be struck with the needs of people who live and work here and also those who visit these

extraordinary places for leisure and pleasure. and, it is the dartmoor national park authority that has to achieve that balance. there is a high court action by one owner, claiming the public have no right to camp on the land. so, could that lead to a ban on low impact while camping? it lead to a ban on low impact while camina ? , lead to a ban on low impact while camina? , ., ., camping? it is important that when --eole camping? it is important that when people enjoy _ camping? it is important that when people enjoy the — camping? it is important that when people enjoy the national - camping? it is important that when people enjoy the national park - camping? it is important that when | people enjoy the national park they appreciated, they don't trash it, so for as we have very limited powers. we have to work in partnership, and the partnership with local landowners and partners, and while camping is, in many respects, not an issue but the vast majority of people engage in proper wild company, know what problems whatsoever, you would never know they are there, you would never have known they would therefore we get talking to rupert woods as he tests himself against.— himself against. more's granite. he en'o s the himself against. more's granite. he enjoys the great — himself against. more's granite. he enjoys the great outdoors - himself against. more's granite. he enjoys the great outdoors including | enjoys the great outdoors including wild company. two i have done some

with my boys when they were growing up. wild company, we would go for a night, maybe two tops, take all the rubbish. we leave it as it was. you should be able to do that. it is a great benefit to people, and i'm sure lots of landowners would agree with that. john's family has lived here for 90 years. he has closed part of his land to prevent damage and abuse. he has even had to remove graffiti from this bronze age hot circle. , ., ., circle. there is no genuine threat to wild camping. _ circle. there is no genuine threat to wild camping. most _ circle. there is no genuine threat to wild camping. most of - circle. there is no genuine threat to wild camping. most of the - to wild camping. most of the landowners really supported. the problem is with people who bend the rules to do something which was never intended. but the rules are not sufficiently well defined, so it is actually quite difficult then to convince somebody as to what was intended. this is the sort of damage done by

irresponsible campers and discovered all too often. the national park mandate is to manage preservation with access, trying to please everyone. this wilderness offers so much, but it's guardians face challenges like never before. john maguire, bbc news, dartmoor. it is so beautiful there. it is so beautiful there. it looks beautiful. stunning, stunning, so you can understand the frustration of people who live there who are basically... just clean up after yourself. take your stuff with you. i wouldn't want to be under ten thermometer and tuesday, given the temperatures that we are expecting! has all the details for us this morning. good morning! it is already starting to ratchet up, the isn't it? it is, i have been doing the stock for 30 years and i can't believe i will be standing here talking about the potential temperature of 40 degrees across the uk. that is 104

fahrenheit. if you haven't already heard, because of that we have our first ever extreme heat warning. it has been issued by the met office to cover the mist majority of england and wales through monday and tuesday. let'sjust and wales through monday and tuesday. let's just take a look at some of the major cities of this area is going to take in. manchester, leeds, birmingham, nottingham, although down to london. these are some areas where we will see some temperatures close to 40 degrees. a widespread amber he'd warning out as well which covers wales and parts of southern scotland here. we could see temperatures perhaps into the low—mid 30s. the heat is coming from spain and portugal. we have talked about the heat stream we have experienced over the last few days. it will gradually drift its wet steadily northwards pushing all the way into central and eastern scotland as we go through monday and into tuesday. for the here and now though, quieter. yes,

plenty of sunshine. for many it will be a hot day. the exception will be across north—west scotland and into northern ireland. shall maria briggs our rain here, and the cloud will drift its way further east into the afternoon. 12—20 degrees. elsewhere, across england and wales and parts of southern scotland we are looking at mid— high 20s. lots of sunshine throughout the day. it will continue to stay relatively warm overnight across england and wales. showery briggs of rain pushing out of northern england into — out of northern ireland into west england and also wet weather drifting east through scotland. it may well still be there first thing tomorrow morning. it will clear away and an improving story through the afternoon. again, lots of dry, settled weather and increasing heat as we go through the day on sunday. 32. on a normal story we would be saying that is too hot and oppressive for many, and it potentially is, but the extreme heat

is expected to arrive on monday. let's look at some of those numbers in detail. yes we could see the potential for 40 degrees, in detail. yes we could see the potentialfor 40 degrees, but across england are welcome at mid— high 30s. into scotland we may see perhaps 28 as the high, 26 into northern ireland as well. similar story on tuesday. the heat pushing further north potentially on tuesday. however, wednesday onwards, the threat of humidity developing, triggering potential thundery downpours and introducing something a little bit more comfortable as we go through the week ahead. no significant rain in the focus for much of england and wales, and that is also a concern. back to you. we will be checking in with you. it is astonishing to see those numbers on the weather charts. shifter is astonishing to see those numbers on the weather charts.— on the weather charts. after seven o'clock this — on the weather charts. after seven o'clock this morning _ on the weather charts. after seven o'clock this morning we _ on the weather charts. after seven o'clock this morning we will- on the weather charts. after seven o'clock this morning we will hear. o'clock this morning we will hear from one school about hey will be managing the extreme temperatures

next week as well for their pupils. that is all to come. now on breakfast, it's time for click. sport — we love it. it's fun to watch, fun to play, there's huge money at stake, but there's always the risk of injury. we're becoming more aware of the long—term health effects associated with playing certain sports — and that includes the effects of concussion, which can be catastrophic in later life. yeah, it's not surprising. even the odd time that i've watched a bit of boxing or rugby, the number of hits to the head that people get... yeah. and it's not even just in contact sports — in something like cycling or snow sports, you can have an accident

and sustain a head injury. yeah, but one of the sports which hasn't studied the effects of concussion as much as other sports is actually one of the most terrifying sports — certainly to watch — and that's canada's national winter sport, ice hockey. but the university of british columbia is undertaking a five—year study to take a look at the impact of concussion on the sport. marc cieslak has been finding out more. ice hockey is tough. it's fast. it's a sport where contact has become as much a part of the game as sticks, pucks and the cold. it's physical and it's filled with ways for players to injure themselves. while awareness of concussion and impact trauma in sports has increased in the last few years and filled headlines, researchers continue to study the issues. but does technology really have a place to play in making sports

like this one safer? it's a massive concern. so, in ice hockey, i think it's one of the most common injuries sustained by hockey players. i played 17 years professional hockey, and former hockey players that i know that have cognitive issues, whether it's early alzheimer's to headaches to still feeling nauseous. here at the university of british columbia, researchers are undertaking a study of concussion with help from the college's ice hockey team, the ubc thunderbirds. dr alex rauscher heads up the team. his neck injury is unrelated to his work. concussion is the result of a hit to the head, but it could also be elsewhere on the body, that leads to accelerations of the brain inside the skull, and that means that the brain, you know, hits the skull from the inside and that can cause injury.

i want to try to understand the accumulation of those repetitive impacts that hockey players sustain and how it affects long—term brain health. the team at ubc are making use of a variety of different technologies, such as smart mouthguards, which are fitted with sensors. a real novelty of a mouthguard is that it's got a really good mechanical coupling with the skull, so you can get a good representation of what impacts the players sustain, how hard they get hit, what direction the impact�*s occurring. while wearable sensors provide information about the number of times a player is hit and the amount of force that's exerted on them during an impact, there is debate amongst some experts that more attention needs to be focused on prevention of impacts in the first place. in rugby specifically, there have been changes to the laws of the game. in particular, the event that causes concussions is the tackle.

sanctions have been put in place to try and reduce the occurrence of these high tackles. our understanding of the dangers of contact in sport continues to grow. rule changes occur and training improves, but work continues to make sports safer. marc there. now, more and more tech is being used in sport — some of it for the players, but also, some of it for the fans, to help enhance their experience. yeah, and one of those fans — one of the biggest fans we know — is paul carter. so, when he heard that the orange velodrome in marseille was experimenting with some of those ideas, well, he was there. i visited on the eve of their final game of the 2021—22 season — a must—win a game against strasbourg that would determine their qualification for europe's top competition once again. on big match days like this, access to these parts of the stadium

are usually only reserved for a select few people. but here, they're using technology to try and bring supporters and players that little bit closer together. a range of technologies have been introduced into the stadium in a bid to enhance watching a game. we have a fully dedicated wireless infrastructure inside the stadium, because you have 67,000 people who want to share every emotion at the stadium, so we deploy infrastructures to complete our 56 network. you can have an app on your smartphone, you can click and collect your food and beverage, so you can order on your seat, you have the replays and you five angles with some cameras, and you can move back and forward and see all of the action. i was keen to try out another piece of kit that's been deployed here. it's called la vitre, and it's a human—sized

digital window enabling conversations to take place remotely. la vitre is a simple way to teleport the right people to the right place. so, it can be used, like here, for access to the tunnel for events. the screen also has a built—in capability to live translate conversations on the fly. participants also have the ability to draw on the screen, as well as share content with each other in real time. marseille have installed la vitre's screens in its players' tunnel, giving fans with access to one of its vip lounges, a virtual window into a normally off—limits area. premier league club manchester city have introduced vip tunnel access, but behind physical glass. this is the first—of—its—kind virtual tunnel access. after the game, i spoke with marseille's brazilian defender

luan peres. thank you forjoining us. thank you for stopping to speak to me. what a night! how do you feel? speaks portuguese now, unfortunately, though he could see my questions translated into portuguese, someone at the other end pressed the wrong button and his answers were translated into french on my screen. but you can definitely see the potential for tools like this, particularly for the media to be able to carry out interviews at an emotional time in a language everyone is most comfortable in. tech is already changing football both on and off the field, but time will tell how much of an appetite among regular supporters there is for these kinds of interactions. now, a few years ago, we went and visited a company called oneplus — a chinese outfit which makes phones with specs that rival the most popular

brands here in the west. the man who founded oneplus is called carl pei, and he now has a new venture, which is called... nothing. it's called nothing and it makes nothing. the nothing ear and now, the nothing phone. and zoe kleinman has interviewed carl to talk about... nothing. this is the nothing phone. i'm gonna start by showing you the thing that makes it different and the thing that everybody's talking about because that is the back. you look at it here, you can see it's kind of translucent on the back here and there are hundreds of little led lights forming these distinct patterns here. and the idea is that they double up as notifications. phone beeps tune while we're talking about the actual physical phone, it's worth saying that this device is on the chunky side. let me show you what i mean. got a little pile here of phones — various makes — and let me put the nothing one on the top. you can see how much thicker it is compared with the others. now, what's the biggest thing inside a phone these days? it is, of course, the battery.

nothing says that the battery on this phone is good for 18 hours between charges. now, i've been using this phone forfour days and i've only charged it once so far. phone beeps quickly is a translucent back and some funky lights enough to persuade people to part with their money? # hey! the challenges for nothing are immense. they have so many different things — set to one side launching a mobile phone into a market which is totally dominated by two giants, apple and samsung, who have almost unlimited resources in marketing and channel and reach and brand — you've also got the really tough economic headwinds right now. the nothing phone was designed by carl pei, who co—founded the phone brand oneplus. his new firm is based in the uk. you've managed to create quite a buzz, haven't you, around the product?

yeah, i was tweeting this weekend that there's too much. too much? you've created too much of a buzz? oh, we just didn't expect it. we knew people would pay attention because the entire industry has been kind of stagnant, so us bringing something different to the market, a lot of people would want to know what it is. but the amount of interest has just blown our minds. alarm tone beeps why did you call it nothing? well, there's an official answer and a non—official answer. the official answer is, you know, as technology becomes more and more seamless and intertwined and ingrained in our lives, itjust fades into the background and it's so easy to use, it feels like nothing. but the truth is i had a lot of other names and i was discussing with my little sister about all of these different names i had and she told me that they were all really bad. so, eventually, isaid, "ok, i'm just gonna call it 'nothing'." and she's like, "yeah, yeah! do that! "that's really good!" chuckles do you think that you can energise the market

in the way that you want to? i think, based on all the anticipation and all the excitement that's out there right now, we're well on our way to do that but, ultimately, the real test is the product itself. and that's it for the shortcut of click for this week. the full—length version is waiting for you right now on iplayer. and we'll be back next week. thanks for watching! see you soon.

morning — thousands flee from fires in western europe, where the heatwave has already taken effect. head to head — the five candidates for the conservative leadership and thejob of prime minister appear in their first televised debate. autumn covid boosterjabs for everyone over 50, as new variants drive a rise in cases. and england send a message they're the team to beat at the women's euros. # sweet caroline... they were on song in southampton, beating northern ireland 5—0 to break the record for the most goals scored in the group stages. it's saturday 16 july. our top story: a national emergency has been declared and a red "extreme heat" warning issued by the met office for the first time ever in the uk, with predictions that temperatures

could hit record highs of 40 celsius in some parts of england. people are being urged to stay safe and check on vulnerable people when the warning comes into force on monday. it will affect cities like london and manchester and is due to be lifted late on tuesday. graham satchell reports. temperatures in the coming days will be brutal. monday could be the hottest day in british history. seven's gone home, do you want to go into cubicle seven? harrogate hospital in north yorkshire — a national emergency has been declared. the red extreme heat warning means there is a risk to life. health chiefs fear the nhs could be overwhelmed. i am worried that we're going to have a surge in attendences over this weekend and into next week, and it's going to put enormous pressure on notjust the emergency department but the system as a whole, both gps, communities, and well into the hospital as well. the whole system is going to become under pressure. at this care home in warwickshire they are doing all they can to keep residents safe. bill is 81, and a former

mayor of stratford. each drink he takes is recorded on a hand—held device, meaning hydration levels are constantly monitored. the weather out there is terrible, absolutely terrible. and as far as i am concerned, it is something that we have got to be careful of. a fire in a barn in essex, the tinder—dry conditions and extreme temperatures means there's been an increase in fire service callouts. the conditions for firefighters a real challenge. unfortunately, i have my shirt and my trousers on underneath as well, so it's incredibly hot, but we do is we make sure we can do everything we can to make sure our crews are supported, that we have plenty of bottled water on the incident ground, and it's just about sort hydrating and standing in the shade were possible. there will be considerable

disruption in the coming days. in some parts of the country, train tracks have been painted white to deflect the heat. potentially we're looking at track temperatures in excess of 50 degrees and that will cause potential rail buckling. beach—goers in dorset yesterday sheltering under umbrellas, others applying plenty of sunscreen. everyone concerned about what's to come. how are we going to sleep? laughs. with an element of dread really, it'll be so warm. obviously, it is nice to have nice weather, but that's a bit too warm for us. i am a little bit concerned, but i'm determined i will be sitting outside but in a very, very sheltered spot. she said can't wait. to put her bikini on, she said, yeah, keenj to get down in there. in aberavon in south wales, margarita and ira are taking the seabreeze. they have some good advice for keeping cool. the ladies make sure that we have plenty of water and know why we are drinking it —

not to get dehydrated. and they keep everything as cool as they can. we don't go anywhere without our hat or our sun barrier on. extreme temperatures on the way. we are all being advised to take care. graham satchell, bbc news. that is the forecast for here. the heat has been building up across southern europe, causing devastating wildfires in parts of spain and france and portugal where a firefighting plane has crashed, killing its pilot. temperatures on the continent have been way above average for this time of year, with scientists blaming climate change, and predicting more frequent and intense episodes of extreme weather. let's get the latest outlook for what to expect over the next couple of days. louise, temperatures are starting to rise, mri that they will

peak monday and tuesday, but is the most at risk period?— most at risk period? that's right, there is potential _ most at risk period? that's right, there is potential for _ most at risk period? that's right, there is potential for the - there is potential for the first—ever 40 degrees, and let's not get too hung up about what the temperature is going to peek at, because 39, 40, 41, these kind of temperatures potentially could produce a loss of life. that is the reason we have our first extreme heat weather warning out, issued by the met office, i think it is worth bearing in mind that you need to consider this weather eventjust like you would if it was significant snow on its way, or damaging severe gales. storm force gusts of winds. because that is the kind of story we are talking about. it is quite extreme, it is quite widespread, as you can see reaching from manchester all the way down to london. within this red zone we could see this unprecedented heat. we'rejust not used to it in this country, is the main issue. we have this amber warning as well, covering parts of

wales into southern scotland. and as you are probably going to hear in just a moment, we are seeing some unprecedented heat moving up from spain and portugal, the temperatures in the last few days, mid to high 40s in places, that will be moving its way steadily northwards and so monday and tuesday, widely across england and wales, we are looking at mid to high 30s in places, potentially peaking at 40 celsius. please, please, take this with significant care. do look at what advice we are giving to you on the bbc weather website, stay out of the extreme heat, keep well hydrated, look after your pets, make sure you try and keep your house as ventilated and as cool as possible. really useful advice. it is worth seeing it in context as the heat moves up through europe on the charts there. more from louise, and we will talk about some of the things you might be thinking about

over the next couple of days to stay cool and stay safe. the five conservative leadership contenders took questions on trust and the economy in the first of several televised debates. the candidates were asked a range of questions from a studio audience, covering the nhs, whether borisjohnson was honest, and how they would deal with the cost of living. our political correspondent alex forsyth reports. applause. the stage was set, the candidates poised to pitch. in a matter of weeks, one of these five will be prime minister. first up, the question of trust. each said they could be trusted in government, but they were asked is borisjohnson honest? ah... laughter. sometimes. there have been some really severe issues and i think that he has paid a price for that. i tried to give him the benefit of the doubt for as long - as possible and ultimately, i i reached the conclusion that i couldn't, and that's why i resigned. - he himself has said that some of the statements issued were not 100% accurate, so i take that at face value.

tom tugendhat, is boris johnson an honest man? no. - applause. that was the first applause of the evening. then, there was disagreement over who'd taken what position on transgender rights when they were in government. i've never been in favour of self id. i would've made the system much better, but i would never have divorced it from healthcare. i didn't work with penny, but my understanding was that the previous minister who had done the rule had wanted self id, and that was something that i reversed with liz. so, who's right? i'm not going to go around... tell the truth, liz. ..criticising other candidates in this race. tell the truth, liz. what i will be clear about is i started in the women and equalitiesjob. there was a plan to move forward on self id. exactly. ..which she said she changed. then, real divisions exposed over the economy — in particular whether tax rises introduced by the government should be reversed.

we need to help people now and that's why if i was elected as prime minister, i would immediately reverse the national insurance increases — which i called out in cabinet, i was opposed to them in cabinet. i'd also remove the green energy levy. so, i don't think the responsible thing to do right now is launch into some unfunded spree of borrowing and more debt. that willjust make inflation worse. just briefly... it will make the problem longer. applause. the former chancellor seemed happy to take on his colleagues. liz, we have to be honest. we have to be honest. iam being honest! but borrowing your way out of inflation isn't a plan, it is a fairytale. i think it is wrong to put taxes up because that is what we're talking about. he found himself defending his own policy. because i was the only one who didn't vote for the rise in national insurance - and it now seems everybody agrees with me. applause. - i did a difficult thing to make sure that the nhs... rishi, and to be fair to you... ..and you voted against it. i and that's the reality.

to be fair to you, rishi, - what we did is we had a long conversation about it - and you set out your position and i asked why on earth this was going to be necessary. and you told me because the boss wanted it. - now, the reality is... gasps. applause. this was a tussle for economic credibility. i have done two things. one is on raising income thresholds in line with inflation. but also, yes, i have said that i will halve vat on fuel at the pump. the best way to help everyone, the best way to make sure that they have money in their pocket, is to get a grip on inflation. and that should be everybody's priority because that's the thing that's going to erode everyone's living standards. the two things, rishi, that you haven't realised is i know you know that people are going to need more help this autumn but, actually, people need help now. tax cuts are there to let - people keep more of their own money so that they can deal with inflation and cost - of living issues. that's why we do it. it's not so that we can cut public services, i and there are other ways to do — and there are other ways - to do both. this was a pitch notjust

at party, but to country. as an engineer, i know how| to strip things down and get them to work. and with me as your prime - minister, we all have to change for the better. we're seeing division and disunity and we can pull people together. i'm not the traditional offer. i'm not the legacy candidate. but the choice at this election is who can be trusted to grip. this moment and get things done. - now is not the time for a continuity of our current economic policy. applause. time is up! the question, of course, who's gonna win? let's get more on this from our political correspondent, tony bonsignore. is there a clear winner from last night's debate?— is there a clear winner from last night's debate? is there a clear winner from last niuht's debate? ,., ., ., ., night's debate? good morning, no, i don't think there _ night's debate? good morning, no, i don't think there was. _ night's debate? good morning, no, i don't think there was. i _ night's debate? good morning, no, i don't think there was. i think - night's debate? good morning, no, i don't think there was. i think some l don't think there was. i think some of those candidates went into that debate last night have gone into this weekend hoping this would be a moment when they can break out, they

can really start to resonate, not just with mps but with a party and the public. i think they all had, those five candidates, difficult moments last night. i think of anything what it showed us is, or highlighted is the dividing lines between the candidates, between the different winds of the party, whether it is on tax, all of them want to cut tax, but really rishi sunak sending out an saying we will only do it when it is wise to do so, and we must focus on inflation which is the real evil right now. boris johnson was inevitably a big dividing line as well. i think they all tried to distance themselves to an extent. but they found it difficult, with the possible exception of tom tugendhat. but i think the real story here, or the underlying story is whether the party goes for experience in the shape perhaps of rishi sunak or liz truss, or maybe goes for a different direction, kemi badenoch, tom tugendhat or penny mordaunt. and i

think the party and the candidates are really wrestling with that question, nothing that is something that came across last night. thank ou ve that came across last night. thank you very much _ that came across last night. thank you very much tony. _ the foreign office has summoned russia's ambassador to explain reports that a british aid worker has been held by russian backed separatists in ukraine has died. paul urey, originally from warrington, was detained in april and accused of being a mercenary. correspondentjoe inwood joins us now. joe, what more do we know about the circumstances surrounding paul urey�*s death? mr urey was captured on 25 april on what we understand what the humanitarian mission to rescue people from occupied russian territory. he has been held in captivity ever since. we have only

seen one side of him in a video where he was interviewed in handcuffs. then we found out the news yesterday from the self—styled donetsk people's republic that he was, he had died unfortunately he had passed away about five days before. he had underlying health conditions, we understand from his mother he had type 1 diabetes, and they say it was these, along with stress, that led to his death. however the british foreign office has summoned the russian ambassador took all the answers. the foreign secretary liz truss said they should be held accountable for this man's death. there has been some suggestion in the path does my past that the russians used british captives as some sort of negotiating strategy. if it is that, it is one that has cost mr urey his life. all the while, the attacks continue. the latest, a missile attack. what do we know about that, and give us a sense of what is happening where you are versus what is happening in the

east of the country. taste are versus what is happening in the east of the country.— east of the country. we have had sirens right _ east of the country. we have had sirens right across _ east of the country. we have had sirens right across the _ east of the country. we have had sirens right across the country i east of the country. we have had l sirens right across the country last night, but it was in the pro that it was most impactful —— dnipro. a number of missiles landed on an industrial site in the centre. we understand three people died, one of them was a bus driver who'd had just dishes shift. there has been a stepping up of missile attacks in this country, even as the conflict in the east slows down somewhat. it in the east slows down somewhat. it is good to have that update. thank you for being with us this morning. he is live in kyiv for us. everyone aged 50 and over will be offered a covid booster vaccine later this year to top up their immunity. the announcement comes amid a continuing rise of covid cases across the uk with some parts of the country nearing the record levels that were last seen during the spring. health experts say everyone aged 50 and over should be offered the booster this autumn. previously it was suggested it

would be the over 65s. in addition, these groups, like health and care workers and other younger age groups with health conditions will be eligible for an autumn booster. the virus is spreading fast now — the latest survey from the office for national statistics suggests that about 3.5 million people in the uk had the virus last week, that's up 29% from the week before. it's still not as high, though, as the level in late march when there were 4.9 million infections. scotland has the highest case rates. 1 in 16 people there had the virus last week. in england, it was1 in 19 and in wales and northern ireland, 1 in 17 people. professor adam finn from thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation joins us now. good morning. where do you think we are in terms of this latest covid wave? ~ ., wave? well, we are right in the middle of _ wave? well, we are right in the middle of it, — wave? well, we are right in the middle of it, and _

against the current variants. i would certainly urge people once the call for boosters comes through after the summer holidays not to hang around waiting for a different vaccine, to go for whatever is on offer at the time. {lit vaccine, to go for whatever is on offer at the time.— vaccine, to go for whatever is on offer at the time. of course at the time we started _ offer at the time. of course at the time we started vaccination - time we started vaccination programme, all the discussion was about how much vaccines was around. what about supply at the moment? are there any concerns around that? trio. there any concerns around that? no, there any concerns around that? no, there are not. _ there any concerns around that? tip. there are not, neither in the uk, not indeed globally. i have been on discussions this week with world health organisation, and really vaccine supplies no longer the issue. it is about delivering any particular about getting vaccines to the people that most need them. in this country, most older people, vulnerable people have been vaccinated but now need boosting. more widely around the world there are many vulnerable people who have not been vaccinated at all. the challenge we face here and around the world is getting the vaccines to the world is getting the vaccines to the people that need them. it

the world is getting the vaccines to the people that need them.- the people that need them. it also miaht the people that need them. it also mi . ht feel the people that need them. it also might feel to _ the people that need them. it also might feel to a _ the people that need them. it also might feel to a lot _ the people that need them. it also might feel to a lot of people - the people that need them. it also might feel to a lot of people like i might feel to a lot of people like everyone they know has had covid recently. if that is the case, should we not be seeing some kind of herd immunity emerging? yes. herd immunity emerging? yes, that does happen. _ herd immunity emerging? yes, that does happen. and — herd immunity emerging? yes, that does happen, and that _ herd immunity emerging? yes, that does happen, and that is _ herd immunity emerging? yes, that does happen, and that is why - herd immunity emerging? yes, that does happen, and that is why the i does happen, and that is why the waves go up and down, and way will indeed go down now even though we not vaccinating the whole population, because you do generate immunity, and that prevents the... drives the infection and pushes the wave down. the problem is then that as we were saying that immunity does wane away and you get a resurgence of infection further down the line. but we are clear now that many people have been vaccinated have also had infection now and the combination of the immunity from vaccination and infection is actually stronger, so there is an advantage if you have had the infection. nevertheless, if you are recommended for a booster, you can boost that even higher by having that booster, and we would encourage people to come forward and get their medicine as they can.—

a backlog of patients from the pandemic and a struggle to recruit staff means many surgeries are under pressure. our reporterjamie coulson has more. i absolutely love being a gp. it is a fantasticjob but it is the most difficult i have ever known and the pressure on the job has just been increasing exponentially. pressure on the job hasjust been increasing exponentially.- pressure on the job hasjust been increasing exponentially. come in, have a seat- _ increasing exponentially. come in, have a seat. kate _ increasing exponentially. come in, have a seat. kate mansfield i increasing exponentially. come in, have a seat. kate mansfield is i increasing exponentially. come in, have a seat. kate mansfield is a i increasing exponentially. come in, | have a seat. kate mansfield is a gp in doncaster and a clinical lead by a group of practices in the town. but elsewhere, she says they are seeing an increasing mismatch between the mounting workload and the available work.— the available work. practices all over are trying _ the available work. practices all over are trying to _ the available work. practices all over are trying to recruit i the available work. practices all over are trying to recruit more i over are trying to recruit more staff, more gps. they are employing locums whenever they can get them. but the demand has increased so significantly that even when we can manage to get extra staff or locums, it is still nowhere near enough. analysis reveals the disparities in the number of patients for gp in different areas of england. n

increase our capacity in general practice. as we have seen on the video there, extra workforce, different ways of seeing practitioners, that was all happening before the pandemic because we knew we were losing gps and we knew we didn't have the numbers that we were needing. we were promised 6000 gps by 2024, and i think since we have been promised that, we have lost about 2000 gps. it is a really difficult challenge that we are facing. obviously the pandemic just that we are facing. obviously the pandemicjust added to that when that hit. i know gps have a lot of criticism about not seeing patients. we have been seeing patients, and if you look at the data, the number of gp appointments has been up by millions compared to pre— covid, and it is going up month on month. the demand isjust purely demand is just purely outstripping the capacity. i demand isjust purely outstripping the capacity-— the capacity. i am interested in what people — the capacity. i am interested in what people are _ the capacity. i am interested in what people are going - the capacity. i am interested in what people are going to i the capacity. i am interested in what people are going to your. what people are going to your surgeries with, what is driving them there _ surgeries with, what is driving them

they need their pain management sorted out, they feel nauseous, oliver backlog and it is impacting on us. as you mentioned, lots of health campaigns going on, hrt requests, prescriptions, menopause chats going through the roof which is great, because it is what we need to see but it will impact on primary care and obviously the covid waves going up and down will impact on us as well with people being sick. we have an ageing population, and if you look at that wrasse, you can see the ageing population going up, the gps going down. the gap is getting wider which is having an impact. it wider which is having an impact. if your typical day is already 13 or 14 hours, why is it so difficult to recruit new gps?— hours, why is it so difficult to recruit new gps? yeah, there is a number of _ recruit new gps? yeah, there is a number of reasons _ recruit new gps? yeah, there is a number of reasons for _ recruit new gps? yeah, there is a number of reasons for that. i recruit new gps? yeah, there is a i number of reasons for that. workload is increasing, ever increasing, the days are getting longer, the numbers are getting fewer. as you get less people, which gets spread out more.

since 2015, the number of consultations and the number of gps responsible for patients has gone up by 15%. the gp is responsible for 15% responsible for 15% more so that is a massive increase in workload. patient expectations is higher, they expect more, i know about more so they come forward for more, there is a backlog from covid, all these things are impacted. there has been a lot of hostility towards general practice as well and i get that and i understand why that has been, but all the hostility, there was going to want to come in and work longer hours, more workload, more hostility is to much has been a study done by the rebuilt general practice campaign which shows at about nine intend gps at present feel perhaps their workload is unsafe. so intend gps at present feel perhaps their workload is unsafe.— their workload is unsafe. so many challenges. _ their workload is unsafe. so many challenges, aren't _ their workload is unsafe. so many challenges, aren't there? - their workload is unsafe. so many challenges, aren't there? as i their workload is unsafe. so many challenges, aren't there? as you | challenges, aren't there? as you push more and more of that

responsibility orjobs onto other people within the surgery, i suppose it helps alleviate some of that pressure, but their workload is also rising and i am thinking about nurses, others i'm pharmacists within, asked to do more and more. absolutely. and it ultimately comes back to the gp. we have a whole host of stuff in my practice and they are really fantastic, but it does come back to the gp in terms of if they need support, they need somebody to come through if they can't manage, and once you give all that work to other people, we are left with the really complex patients, though we are dealing with more complex... the chat on the video said we need time so complex patients can be seen by gps. that was a break in the day if you have a slightly less complex patients, you can reframe your mind. it is draining from the moment you walk in and the moment you leave 13 or 14 hours later. you are

multitasking, dealing with constant problems. the recommended safe contacts gps in the uk by the bma and even the unp and director of say 25 patient contact today. the average gp are seeing is and some are saying over 80 a day. seaport average gp are seeing is and some are saying over 80 a day. apart from that, ou are saying over 80 a day. apart from that. you love _ are saying over 80 a day. apart from that, you love your _ are saying over 80 a day. apart from that, you love yourjob! _ are saying over 80 a day. apart from that, you love yourjob! i _ are saying over 80 a day. apart from that, you love yourjob! i still- that, you love your 'ob! i still love generar_ that, you love yourjob! i still love general practice! i that, you love yourjob! i still love general practice! that i that, you love yourjob! i still love general practice! that is| that, you love yourjob! i still- love general practice! that isjust love general practice! that is 'ust as well. thank i love general practice! that is 'ust as well. thank you i love general practice! that is 'ust as well. thank you so i love general practice! that is 'ust as well. thank you so much. i love general practice! that isjust as well. thank you so much. we | love general practice! that isjust i as well. thank you so much. we will talk to— as well. thank you so much. we will talk to you _ as well. thank you so much. we will talk to you later. you will be alongside chris smith and talking about— alongside chris smith and talking about the heat wave in covid and bruises as— about the heat wave in covid and bruises as well. we will see you later on — bruises as well. we will see you later on. the department of health and social— later on. the department of health and social care have either way said in response — and social care have either way said in response to this about gp numbers in response to this about gp numbers in particular— in response to this about gp numbers in particular the numbers of doctors general— in particular the numbers of doctors general practice are increasing, there _ general practice are increasing, there were over 1400 more full—time there were over1400 more full—time equivalent— there were over 1400 more full—time equivalent doctors in general practice _ equivalent doctors in general practice in march 2022 compared to three _ practice in march 2022 compared to three years — practice in march 2022 compared to three years earlier, but i say we are making _ three years earlier, but i say we are making 4000 training places available — are making 4000 training places available gps each year to help

hopein the end of the one british metal hope in the most dramatic fashion. hollie bradshaw's poll snapping on the warm—up, although she eventually walked away, she withdrew as precaution, accrual and to her championships. there was better news for laura muir, she eased through her 1500 metres heat when in the 100 metres, zharnel hughes is also through behind the favourite, america's fred kersley. biggest man was the kenyan runner, he had to dash from the airport straight to the track after only just getting dash from the airport straight to the track after onlyjust getting a visa in time. but he qualified for the semifinals. the 100 metres is very much the focus of this weekend. both the men and women's titles will be decided the fight to be the fastest should be an enthralling one. it will do well to match this, though. the us pipped gold by the dominican republic in the mixed relay final. the 19th world medal for america's allyson felix at the end of a remarkable career.

in just under an hour's time the third round of the 150th open championship in st andrews gets under way. australian cameron smith is the overnight leader on 13 under, but all eyes will be on rory mcilroy, he is the bet placed british hopeful, just 3 shots behid on 10 under par. he hasn't one the opens in 2014 but looks in great form. and so much at stake in rugby union for the home nations — ireland take on new zealand in wellington this morning with a chance of an historic series win. after losing the first test in auckland, andy farrell's men rallied last time out — to force a deciding match in the new zealand capital. while the all blacks will start as favourites, kiwi—born ireland wing james lowe knows that this is an opportunity that might not come around again any time soon. we will see how they get on in a bit. england have the chance to claim another series win in australia as they face the wallabies in sydney. eddiejones' side were much improved in their last outing in brisbane where they levelled

the series on the back of an impressive forwards display. the england captain courtney lawes believes a lot of that is down to what he says is a more "more enjoyable environment" behind the scenes. there we go, team environment for them, but if ireland went today it will be historic in many senses. new zealand is such a formidable outfit, to beat them on their home territory would be incredible to see. matters getting under way very soon. —— that is. here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. is going to be hot, what do we need know? the fourth time 40 degrees has been forecast across the uk. that has triggered for the first time everl has triggered for the first time ever i heat warning. there is the potential for the heat to continue monday into tuesday. we are likely to see the highest temperatures. look out extensive that heat warning

is, notjust the london area stretching right up to manchester and leeds. we are likely to see some dangerous heat. out to the west, including wales and parts of southern scotland, we have an extreme heat warning, and amber one as well. it is unlikely to be in the mid 30s. this heat is coming from spain. overthe mid 30s. this heat is coming from spain. over the last few days temperatures in the mid—to high 40s in places. it will push steadily north through the later stages of the weekend, arriving on monday and tuesday. i will come back to that in a moment. let's get back to the here and now because in actual fact we have got some decent spells of sunshine around at the moment. but i will perhaps be more pleasant for many of us. yes, more cloud and breeze into the north—west of scotland and northern ireland that will bring outbreaks of light showery rain as we go through the day. here, templeton is not as high, but elsewhere, it will be a pleasant summer afternoon for many. we are

still talking high uv with those kind of temperatures and that is with hearing in mind. tonight clear skies across england and wales, showery outbreaks of rain into northern england as well, pushing for eastern scotland here. claudia skies and maybe a damp start to the morning. fatima claudia. the improving story here as we go through the day —— cloudier. the heat builds further. that is starting to get into the 90s fahrenheit. it is monday where we are likely to see temperatures widely into the high 30s, possibly maybe seeing that first 40 degrees ever. that is when we are talking about the potential for danger to life with those kind of temperatures. certainly worth bearing in mind please look after any old people that you know, anybody with underlying health conditions, your pets as well. we

are expecting temperatures to be very similar indeed as we move into tuesday. heat continues to steadily northwards and eastwards into scotland as well. on tuesday, on top of all of that, we have an increase in humility so it really will feel very oppressive indeed. i do have a glimmer of better views to offer you because without humility comes the risk of thundery downpours. as we move into wednesday we could see some rain. that will introduce something a little bit more comfortable from wednesday onwards —— humidity. from 40 to 57 to 25 in the space of three days ago but is incredible, isn't it? -- 37. let incredible, isn't it? —— 37. let us hope that is the case because 25 degrees is going to feel really pleasant in comparison to the weather early on in the week. might need a cot! — weather early on in the week. might need a cot! -- _ weather early on in the week. might

nadhim zahawi and jeremy hunt have been knocked out. paul morgan didn't share in the excitement, writing: but peter staker, writing on tuesday, had a very different view:

last week we featured your reactions to news bulletins being shown later than planned because of tennis at wimbledon overrunning on bbc one. complaints about live sport delaying the news continued this week with the women's euros football tournament now responsible. but last friday saw a new development — the news at six being put on earlier than advertised with sport again the culprit. here's the response of one anonymous viewer. bbc one six o'clock evening news has been advertised all day as being rescheduled to 7pm. well, fair enough, 'cause everything i know is prioritised below wimbledon. i go and put the tv on 7:00 and guess what? you put the news on at 6:05,

although you've advertised it all day as being on at 7:00. you lot treat the licence fee payers with utter contempt. that day, there were due to be two men's semifinals at wimbledon, but one was cancelled because of an injury to rafael nadal. bbc television told us: the studio now being used for the news at six and news at ten features a giant video wall showcasing at the end of each show presenters from all the nations and regions who are about to deliver their own bulletins. what's not mentioned is that the number of those

presenters and the services they provide are declining because of budget cuts. the latest round announced in may and effective from the autumn included the end of the oxford edition of south today and the cambridge version of look east. first tonight, cambridge university is to increase mental health funding after the death of five students. a heat health alert has been introduced in the south and we're being reminded about the dangers posed by lakes and rivers. ten people have drowned in oxfordshire in the past two years. martin and daphne chapman from bishop's stortford, describing themselves as loyal bbcers where possible, e—mailed us, saying they were:

those aren't the first cuts to regional services. steve spinner contacted us last summer after hearing that local news updates during the breakfast programme had been suspended because of the impact of covid. his response: well, to discuss this, i'm joined now by the bbc�*s director of nations, rhodri talfan davies, who's responsible for local and national output across the uk.

rhodri talfan davies, thanks so much for coming on newswatch. let's start with the regional news bulletins. do you accept that if you live in bishop's stortford, you could be forgiven for thinking, what's news in norwich got to do with me? well, if you live in that area, you're already receiving a lot of your television bulletins during the day from norwich, there's been a very established connection between norwich and cambridge over many, many years, but i do accept there's a real concern, and it's not driven by savings. the changes that we've announced are really about keeping pace with our audiences. many, many of our audiences are moving digitally, moving online, and we need to keep pace with that, and that does mean that we have to make some targeted reductions in our live broadcast services. you talk about targeted reductions. you, therefore, do acknowledge that some people will get a less tailored news service on television. well, we've proposed two changes.

one brings together our services across oxfordshire with a service that we already deliver from southampton, and the other for look east brings together the cambridge and norwich programmes. now, in both those areas, those larger regions will still be significantly smaller than many of our largest regions across england, so we have looked at that very carefully. we still think we can deliver an outstanding service, but i absolutely get that if you live in those areas, particularly in oxfordshire and cambridgeshire right now, you're worried about the change, and i think that our task is to rise to the creative challenge and continue to deliver programmes that really cut through. the regional news programmes are the biggest news programmes in the uk bar none, and we want to maintain their strength while building our online services. i also want to ask you about the we are england documentary series, which was designed to explain big issues through a local lens.

two episodes have had to be taken off air and it's now ending after just two series. it's a bit of a mess, isn't it? no, i don't think so. i think what i've been doing with the senior team in england since i came into the role is really looking at where we want to put our priority, and i believe that local investigative journalism delivered across radio and television and online is the absolute priority. and right now, we don't have enough reporting expertise on the ground to really dig in to the bigger stories, and we want to put that right. so we're talking about creating a new investigative team of 60, 70 journalists across england, which can really come off diary and go after the stories behind the headlines, really dig in. and that means making some difficult choices, and one of those choices was, sadly, to bring we are england to an end. it's been a terrific first series. yes, there have been a couple of bumps in the road,

but the production team have really risen to the challenge, and ifeel for them because they've done everything that we've asked of them. but i think the priority right now across england is to make sure we've got our investigative capacity in place so that we can really set the agenda across our local services. and what will that mean? will it be a new programme? no, again, it goes back to what i was saying about the changing way the audiences consume media. so these will be multimedia investigative teams, and by that, i mean that when they dig out a story, it can be delivered across radio, across television, across online. we're not driven by the tv schedule in terms of how we think about our stories. we think about where our audiences are, we think about their expectation of how we deliver to them and, as i say, we deliver across television, radio and online when those stories are ready to go. i hear what you say, that a lot of these changes are being driven by digital, but isn't there a danger that you will leave behind

the loyal traditional television audience? well, it's ourjob, really, to make sure we get that balance right. the truth is that bbc local radio, 39 stations across england, bbc regional news, they are hugely popular with older audiences. but there is also an audience across england based locally who has a real appetite for local storytelling, but, increasingly, they turn online, and i believe ourjob is to make sure that all our local audiences get value from the bbc, and that is about striking a balance between our television and radio services and services that we deliver online. now, for years and years, people have been asking — why can't i watch regional news in high definition? so, give us a date. when will it finally happen? well, i believe that we can deliver hd services across all our regions by early next year. it's been a long wait, and the simple reason

it's held us back is cost, because for every regional hd service you launch, you have to effectively put an entire new channel on and that cost is prohibited but has cost begin to reduce and audience expectation changes, we need to get this right, sol expectation changes, we need to get this right, so i would like to believe that all our english regions will be available on 101 in hd on your epg at home by early next year. we will hold you to that. good to argue with us, many thanks. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see on bbc news, e—mail us. orfind us on twitter. you can also call us. and you have a look at our website. that's all from

us. we are off the air for a few weeks now over the summer but we will be back and from now until next time, goodbye. good morning. welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and ben thompson. our headlines this morning... preparations for the first national heatwave emergency as the met office warns soaring temperatures will put lives at risk.

it will put an enormous pressure on notjust it will put an enormous pressure on not just the it will put an enormous pressure on notjust the emergency department but the system as a whole, gps, communities and well into the hospital as well. good morning, a weekend of hot sunshine and building heat but it's monday into tuesday when the met office has issued its first ever red warning for extreme heat where somewhere across the country it's possible temperatures could peak at 40 celsius. i will have all the details on that and the implications for you coming up throughout the morning. the heat means extra challenges for the orgnisers of major events like bristol's harbour festival — a quarter of a million people are expected here this weekend — we'll find out how they're keeping everyone safe. head—to—head, the five candidates for the conservative leadership and thejob of prime minister appear in their first televised debate. attention turns to st andrews later as rory mcilroy looks to continue his sparkling form at the open. the northern irishman

is three off the lead at the old course going into day 3 with cameron smith out in front. the debate over whether campers should be allowed to pitch their tents wherever they want in the beautiful scenery of dartmoor. it's saturday the 16th ofjuly. our top story... a national emergency has been declared and a red "extreme heat" warning issued by the met office for the first time ever in the uk, with predictions that temperatures could hit record highs of 40 celsius in some parts of england. people are being urged to stay safe and check on vulnerable people when the warning comes into force on monday. it will affect cities like london and manchester and is due to be lifted late on tuesday. graham satchell reports. temperatures in the coming days will be brutal. monday could be the hottest day in british history. seven's gone home, do you want to go into cubicle seven? harrogate hospital in north yorkshire — a national emergency has been declared. the red extreme heat warning means

there is a risk to life. health chiefs fear the nhs could be overwhelmed. i am worried that we're going to have a surge in attendences over this weekend and into next week, and it's going to put enormous pressure on notjust the emergency department but the system as a whole, both gps, communities, and well into the hospital as well. the whole system is going to become under pressure. at this care home in warwickshire they are doing all they can to keep residents safe. bill is 81, the former mayor of stratford. each drink he takes is recorded on a hand—held device, meaning hydration levels are constantly monitored. the weather out there is terrible, absolutely terrible. as far as i am concerned, it is something that we have got to be careful of. a fire in a barn in essex, the tinder—dry conditions and extreme temperatures means there's been an increase in fire service call—outs. the conditions for firefighters — a real challenge. unfortunately, i have my

shirt and my trousers on underneath as well so it's incredibly hot, but we do is we make sure we can do everything we can to make sure our crews are supported, that we have plenty of bottled water on the incident ground, and it's just about sort hydrating and standing in the shade were possible. there will be considerable disruption in the coming days. some schools may close early on monday and tuesday, sports events like horse meat have been cancelled and road and rail travel affected. —— some schools may close early on monday and tuesday, sports events like horse meets have been cancelled and road and rail travel affected. in some parts of the country, train tracks have been painted white to deflect the heat. potentially we're looking at track temperatures in excess of 50 degrees and that will cause potential rail buckling. beach—goers in dorset yesterday, some sheltering under umbrellas, others applying plenty of sunscreen. everyone concerned about what's to come. how are we going to sleep? laughs. with an element of dread really, it'll be so warm.

obviously, it is nice to have nice weather, but that's a bit too warm for us. i am a little bit concerned but i'm determined i will be sitting outside but in a very, very sheltered spot. she said can't wait to put her bikini on, she said, yeah, keen to get down in there. in aberavon in south wales, margarita and ira are taking the seabreeze. they have some good advice for keeping cool. the ladies make sure that we have plenty of water and know why we are drinking it — not to get dehydrated. and they keep everything as cool as they can. we don't go anywhere without our hat or our sun barrier on. extreme temperatures on the way. we are all being advised to take care. graham satchell, bbc news. the five conservative leadership contenders took questions on trust and the economy in the first of several televised debates. the candidates were asked a range of questions from a studio audience, covering the nhs, whether borisjohnson was honest, and how they would deal with the cost of living.

our political correspondent, alex forsyth reports. applause the stage was set, the candidates poised to pitch. in a matter of weeks, one of these five will be prime minister. first up, the question of trust. each said they could be trusted in government, but they were asked is borisjohnson honest. sometimes. there have been some really severe issues, and i think that he has paid a price for that. i tried to give him the benefit of the doubt for as long - as possible, and ultimately, i reached the conclusion- that i could not, andl that's why i resigned. he himself has said that some of the statements issued were not 100% accurate, so i take that at face value. tom tugendhat, is boris johnson an honest man? no. applause that was the first applause of the evening. then, there was disagreement over who had taken what position

on transgender rights when they were in government. i have never been in favour of self id. i would have made the system much better, but i would not have divorced it from healthcare. i did not work with penny, but my understanding was that the previous minister who had done the role had wanted self id. and that was something that i reversed with liz. so, who is right? i'm not going to gol around criticising... tell the truth, liz. other candidates in this race. tell the truth, liz. what i will be clear. about is that i started in the women and equalities job. there was a plan to move forward and self id. - which she said she had changed. then real divisions exposed over the economy, in particular where tax rises introduced by the government should be reversed. we need to help people now, and that is why. if i was elected as prime minister, i would immediately reverse - the national insurance increases, which i called out in cabinet. - i was opposed to them in cabinet. i would also remove .

the green energy levy. so, i don't think the responsible thing to do right now its launching to some unfunded spree of burrowing and more debt. that willjust make inflation worse. it will make the problem longer. the former chancellor seemed happy to take on his colleagues. liz, we have to be honest. lam being honest. we have to be honest. borrowing your way out of inflation is not a plan. it's a fairy tale. i think it is wrong to put| taxes up because that is what we are talking about. he found himself defending his own policy. because i was the only one who did not vote for the rise in national insurance, and now it seems everyone agrees with me. applause i did a difficult thing to make sure that the nhs got the money needed, and you voted against it, and that's the reality. to be fair to you, rishi. what we did is we had a long conversation about it, and you set out your position, and i asked why on earth

this was going to be necessary, and you told me because the boss wanted it. now, the reality is... applause this was a tussle for economic credibility. i have done two things. one is raising income thresholds in line with inflation. but also, yes, i have said that i will halve vat on fuel at the pump. the best way to help everyone, the best way to make sure that they have money in their pocket is to get a grip on inflation, and that should be everybody's priority. because that is the thing that's going to a road eve ryone's living standards. two things, rishi, that you haven't realised, is i know you know people are going to need more help this autumn, but actually people need help now. tax cuts are there to let people keep more of their own moneyl so that they can deal with inflation and cost of living issues. - that is why we do it. it's not so we can. cut public services. and there are other ways to do both. this was a pitch notjust to party but to country. as an engineer, i know how to strip

things down and get them to work, | and with media prime minister, we| will have the change for the better. we are seeing division and disunity, and we can pull people together. i'm not the traditional offer. i'm not the legacy candidate. but the choice at this election is who can be trusted to grip this moment and get things done. now is not the time for a continuity of our current economic policy. - applause time is up. the question, of course, who is going to win? alex forsyth, bbc news. the foreign office has summoned russia's ambassador to explain reports that a british aid worker, who was being held by russian—backed separatists in ukraine, has died. paul urey, originally from warrington, was detained in april and accused of being a mercenary. our correspondentjoe inwood joins us now. from kyvi. —— from kyiv. joe, what more do we know about the circumstances surrounding paul urey�*s death? first and allow the man, dylan

healy, were thought to be elevated on a humanitarian mission trying to rescue people in a territory and they were arrested at the checkpoint had not seen anything from paul urey apart from a single video where he appeared speaking in handcuffs. we got the news yesterday from the self—styled donetsk people republic that he had died six years ago but the news only broke yesterday and his family have been absolutely devastated by this obviously. they say his mother said he was a man with many underlying health conditions and could not understand why he had not been released given his very poor medical condition and indeed the donetsk people's republic official said it was those underlying health conditions combined with the stress of his captivity that led to his death. the foreign secretary summoned the russian ambassador to london and said they must be held accountable

for paul urey�*s death. all the while, attacks continue with the latest aid missile attack in dnipro. gives an idea of what is happening there and where you are in kyiv. there were sirens there and right across ukraine, air raid sirens but it wasn't in dnipro the missiles landed and really hit badly, destroying what is thought to be an industrial complex of the city. that was i think the target, the industrial complex but it also hit residential areas and damaged them, and three people died. one of them, there is a photo on social media of a man lying face down covered in blood and according to the local may, he was a bus driver who had just finished his shift. —— according to the local mayor. more evidence of the humanitarian cost of these missiles landing right across ukraine. ., ~ , ., these missiles landing right across ukraine. ., ~ i. ., these missiles landing right across ukraine. ., ~ ., , ., , ukraine. thank you for updating us on that.

the us presidentjoe biden said he raised the murder ofjournalist jamal khashoggi during a meeting with saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman last night — as part of a visit to the country to rebuild relations. president biden previously promised to make the country a "pariah" over its human rights record. our middle east correspondent anna foster is injeddah this morning. anna, it's a controversial trip, how has it gone so far? it was, only four weeks agojoe biden when asked if you admit the crown prince on his visit said no, he was coming off a larger meeting which is true, that is the gulf cooperation council summit which is happening later today but he said there would not be a one—on—one meeting and yet yesterday, in the 24 hours or so beforejoe biden arrived in saudi arabia, it was announced that, yes, the two men would meet and we saw that image, that striking image ofjoe biden and crown chris mohammed bin salman —— crown prince

mohammed bin salman —— crown prince mohammed bin salman —— crown prince mohammed bin salman, the man the cia say approved the murder ofjamal khashoggi in 2017, the image of them for stomping. khashoggi in 2017, the image of them forstomping. later on in khashoggi in 2017, the image of them for stomping. later on in evening, biden said when they talked he raised the issue of human rights and that murder but what people take away from this visit is very much that image of a man, the de facto ruler of a state thatjoe biden called a pariah, the two of them really having what appeared to be a very cordial meeting.— let's have a look outside and take you to bristol, a beautiful view this morning but of course much of the country preparing for a sharp increase in temperatures. the reason we are in bristol, the bristol harbour festival gets under way, 250,000 people are expected to attend it and is the 50th anniversary of the event. our correspondence is there and you'll talk to them a little later.

here's louise with a look at this morning's weather. apologies for the weather watch our pictures, i've not been able to show them because of the severity of what's been to come over the next few days but there are beautiful scenes out there of lots of blue sky and sunshine and a relatively pleasant summers day from many today but the heat will build this weekend and as we head to monday, if you haven't heard, there is the potential for us to see the first 40 celsius somewhere across england during the day and that has culminated in a met office first ever extreme heat weather warning. you have to treat this just like you would a severe weather warning for perhaps no any winter or gales or severe gales perhaps no any winter or gales or severe gates and damaging gust of winds. we are really talking about the potential for a loss of life. this is really unprecedented kind of heat over the next few days and the

area it is covering, well, it's quite lively from manchester to leeds than to nottingham and birmingham into the london area and this is where we could obtain an inch there is temperatures close to 40 celsius and we've also got an amber extreme heat warning for wales and southern scotland as world, so the heat fairly widespread, it will be moving its way out from the near continent over the next few days, we've seen temperatures in spain and portugal just we've seen temperatures in spain and portugaljust recently into the mid—to high 40s in places which will be pushing its way steadily north and east so please keep abreast of the forecast and you can also go on to the bbc weather website for tips on how to cope with this kind of extreme heat. back briefly to the here and now, the lovely blue sky and sunshine, there is dry weather from any and there will be more cloud and showery rain into northern ireland in western scotland and that cloud will casually push its way steadily through the afternoon. not

as one, 12—20 c and we will potentially see highs of 28 celsius in the afternoon, 82 fahrenheit. thank you. astonishing how quickly the weather can change those that really ramps up and on wednesday and thursday at falls down to something a bit more normal. let's head back to bristol. we showed you the beautiful view across bristol harbour ahead of the bristol harbour festival but were so many people expected there, how do they make sure people stay safe in the heat? matt graveling is at bristol harbour festival, where organisers are doing just that. looks great. yes, temperature at this time in the morning is absolutely beautiful but it later today and tomorrow, this is a three—day festival, where it could get a lot hotter. in the us, looking at 26 celsius and tomorrow potentially up to 30 and monday tuesday much of the country expecting potentially 40 celsius.

now, quarter of a million people expected here over the next few days for this absolutely stunning free festival, one of the largest public festivals in the uk but let's talk to some of the people involved to see how the heat has been making challenges to overcome, the third reich of bristoljoins me now. we look at the forecast, a great event for the city but what else has had to be considered? —— the mayor of bristol. to be considered? -- the mayor of bristol. ~ ., ., ., :: :: ., bristol. we have around 500 water fillin: bristol. we have around 500 water filling stations _ bristol. we have around 500 water filling stations and _ bristol. we have around 500 water filling stations and are _ bristol. we have around 500 waterj filling stations and are encouraging people _ filling stations and are encouraging pe0ple to _ filling stations and are encouraging people to make sure they seek shade and avoid _ people to make sure they seek shade and avoid overly crowded places. that will— and avoid overly crowded places. that will be a challenge was 250,000 people _ that will be a challenge was 250,000 people but to take breaks and try to avoid _ people but to take breaks and try to avoid overcrowding were possible. 500 watts — avoid overcrowding were possible. 500 watts of stations around the city so you bring your own water bottle but you get free water and it's very important of course stay hydrated. quarter of a million people coming and many will not be

—— the heat has already been building up across much of continental europe, with devastating wildfires burning in parts of france, spain and portugal. in candeleda in spain, temperatures have exceeded 44 degrees celcius. northern portugal has seen temperatures above 42 degrees celcius. and villevielle in france has also topped 40 degrees. let's go now to granada, in southern spain, which has also been hit by the extreme heat. we can speak to molly sears—piccavey, who's a tour operator there. gave us a sense right now, morley, of what kind of temperatures you have right there in grad art. —— give us a sense, molly. it’s have right there in grad art. -- give us a sense, molly.- give us a sense, molly. it's 30 degrees. _ give us a sense, molly. it's 30 degrees, 9:20am, _ give us a sense, molly. it's 30 degrees, 9:20am, and i give us a sense, molly. it's 30 degrees, 9:20am, and is- give us a sense, molly. it's 30 degrees, 9:20am, and is not. give us a sense, molly. it's 30 i degrees, 9:20am, and is not go give us a sense, molly. it's 30 - degrees, 9:20am, and is not go below 22 here in granada. haifa degrees, 9:20am, and is not go below 22 here in granada.— 22 here in granada. how typical is that for the _ 22 here in granada. how typical is that for the time _ 22 here in granada. how typical is that for the time of _ 22 here in granada. how typical is that for the time of year? - 22 here in granada. how typical is that for the time of year? it i 22 here in granada. how typical is that for the time of year? it is i that for the time of year? it is fiercer than _ that for the time of year? it is fiercer than normal. _ that for the time of year? tit 3 fiercer than normal. usually we would have cooler evenings at this time of year. why remake you're used to operating in hot temperatures, you've been over there a number of

years now but what i suspect is that people back here in the uk do not yet quite know what will hit them when we had the late 30s. —— mike you are used to operating in hot temperatures. give us an idea of what it is like to be in that heat. it is not quite the same when you have carpet. here in spain there is a lot of thing that you can do, small things that may not seem important but they really are. wearing naturalfibres important but they really are. wearing natural fibres like cotton, linen and silk, wearing a hat, hydrating. you have to have... here you have to have cold water like a flask on you at all times and it's small things, walking in the shade, parking your car in the shade, yeah, there are so many small gestures and even the food we choose to eat, we don't eat a lot of cooked food right now, salads, cold soups, very high

water content foods like you, and watermelon, so... and also the timing. we tend not to eat dinner until really late and then is very light, and lunch, of course, after lunch at the yesterday, you stay indoors and keep cool. all of the curtains and blinds are closed around now, 10am, we close everything down, shut the windows, get all the blinds down and basically live in the dark throughout the day. and then don't open up until10:30pm. throughout the day. and then don't open up until 10:30pm. white make you say evenjust open up until 10:30pm. white make you say even just planning your day is like a military operation to make sure you do not get caught out, is that right? —— you say even just planning your day is like a military operation to make sure you do not get caught out, is that right? that is correct, i have my water, my

hat, a spray from my face, a fan and i do a food tour in granada and it's bad because the food tour is at 60 and which is almost the hottest part of the day in southern spain so i have to take care of other people who are not used to the heat and all the small details make a big difference.— the small details make a big difference. , ~ ., difference. this sounds like a basic one that really _ difference. this sounds like a basic one that really important - difference. this sounds like a basic one that really important as i difference. this sounds like a basic one that really important as you i one that really important as you just have to slow down, everything is at a slightly slower pace, you cannot live as frantically as you would in cooler climate. i'm an active person. i would in cooler climate. i'm an active person-— active person. i live a dynamic lifes le active person. i live a dynamic lifestyle but — active person. i live a dynamic lifestyle but when _ active person. i live a dynamic lifestyle but when it _ active person. i live a dynamic lifestyle but when it is - active person. i live a dynamic lifestyle but when it is that i active person. i live a dynamic| lifestyle but when it is that sort you tend to very slowly and measurably, walk in the shade, maybe take a street that is further distance but because it is in the shade i will choose that one over somewhere walking in the sunshine thatis somewhere walking in the sunshine that is shorter, so you really have

to consider every movement and every action you do and how it will impact you. it is survival. it literally is survival with these temperatures, we are 41 everyday for the six days and minimums of 22—24 overnight. that are 41 everyday for the six days and minimums of 22-24 overnight. that is really helpful— minimums of 22-24 overnight. that is really helpful to _ minimums of 22-24 overnight. that is really helpful to get _ minimums of 22-24 overnight. that is really helpful to get that _ minimums of 22-24 overnight. that is really helpful to get that insight i really helpful to get that insight from you, thank you very much and best of luck to you working on those extreme temperatures as well. what she says there are about your whole mentality changing, and what i would say is at least for us here in the uk, it is a couple of days of extreme hot weather and then the temperature drops off quite significantly but in spain, as she was saying there, they are looking at these temperatures for quite some time. t at these temperatures for quite some time. ., ., ., , at these temperatures for quite some time. ., ., .,, ., ., time. i got a little taste of what is to come _ time. i got a little taste of what is to come last _ time. i got a little taste of what is to come last week _ time. i got a little taste of what is to come last week at - time. i got a little taste of what is to come last week at a i time. i got a little taste of what i is to come last week at a wedding in ibiza and it was really hot and it's interesting those changes you can make, slowing down helps but obviously that helps on holiday because you can do that on holiday

and help to fight it. the symptoms broadly are blood in your stool, is a big one, abdominal pains, sudden loss of weight, change in bowel habits, all of which, actually, i'm about to experience in the next seven days. but not because of bowel cancer but because i am spending 16 hours a day on a bike. this is no ordinary challenge. over the next week, with no support team and just the bare essentials strapped to his bike, andy will cycle literally the length and breadth of britain. starting at lizard point, the southernmost tip of the mainland, he will go to the easternmost, lowestoft in east anglia. from there, it is an enormous schlep up to dunnet head, the most northerly tip of mainland britain. then, finally, just seven days after he sets off, he will reach the last point

of the compass, ardnamurchan point, in the west highlands, journey�*s end. 2,500 kilometres is about the distance from here to kyiv if i was cycling, if i wanted to cycle to kyiv, which would be very nice, and also to give it some context, the tour de france is 3,500 kilometres, but they do that in 21 days, not seven. i'm nervous, but there is no way back, and the support has been phenomenal. it would be hard enough for a professional endurance cyclist, but as andy points out himself, he is a 55—year—old, 15—stone amateur, so why on earth is he doing it? i'm doing this because bowel cancer is a disease that has touched my family and friends, and it is a massive killer in the uk, but no one talks about it. it is the biggest killer of nonsmokers in the uk, and it is the cancer, if you are a nonsmoker, that is most likely to get you. we don't like to talk about it because it's about our bum, our bowels, you know, things people are just not comfortable with,

but it needs to be talked about, and the likes of deborahjames have just made this part of the national conversation, which is fantastic, and i'd like to continue that. his dad died of this cancer, and that is part of the reason he chose the route. three miles from the finish, i have to cycle past my father's grave. so, i'll stop in and say hello, but that will be challenging because i think i will be in pieces at that point, so we'll see how that goes. andy's target is to raise £100,000 for a charity called 40tude, a word that means courage in pain and adversity. there will be plenty of those on the long road ahead next week. martin geissler, bbc news, central scotland. good luck to him. what an epic challenge. hope it goes really well for him. it isjust approaching challenge. hope it goes really well for him. it is just approaching 830 toe. good morning. he was bbc news.

the economy and trust, those were just two of the issues the five conservative leadership hopefuls tackled in the first of three televised debates last night. we'll find out how they did in a moment, but first, here's a reminder of who they are. top of the mp votes so far is rishi sunak. he's the mp for richmond in yorkshire and the former chancellor. penny mordaunt is the mp for portsmouth north and a former defence secretary in theresa may's government. third in the vote so far is liz truss, the mp for south west norfolk. she's foreign secretary. kemi badenoch represents saffron walden, she's a former local government and equalities minister. and finally tom tugendhat is the mp for tonbridge and malling, he chairs the foreign affairs select committee. so, how did they do? we can speak now to anna isaac, the economics editor at the independent and sebastian payne, whitehall editor at the financial times. morning, both, nice to have you with us. was there a clear winner last night, anna? m us. was there a clear winner last night. anna?— night, anna? i think there were different winners _ night, anna? i think there were different winners for _ night, anna? i think there were different winners for different l different winners for different parts of the game, as it were. tom

tugendhat definitely came out top in terms of being very relaxed and being able to answer the question on was borisjohnson honest. i think in terms of economic competence, wish you soon act performed phenomenally. give us a sense of what the key issues might be in all of this. we took there about trust and whether they thought boris johnson was honest. what will be the most important issues? quite clearly, they are all facing the cost of living crisis but it didn't figure that highly in the debate, did it? oh, we can't hear in for some 0h, we can't hear in for some reason, so we will come back to him. you're there, but we can't hear you. anna, what about the issues for you? i think that is absolutely crucial. what we were talking about and what came across in the debate is the grand plan for the economy, not the day—to—day experience that people are having of it. so, the discussion was, will big tax cuts around 30

billion that were promised by liz truss, will they be inflationary? pretty soon act came back and it did feel like the gloves had come up. it did feel like he had been coached a lot and he was able to ram home the points without it seeming like too much of an attack but genuinely are not too polished and that came across and he was able to say debt is debt. he did the first name game which is where you say there are first name of your opponent. he said, liz. that was a very strong line for him. it seemed he was having that conversational style while being very direct. i think we saw liz truss selling a topic that would be very popular with the party members, you know, they are a tax—cutting party. they really want to hear the word tax cuts. she was struggling with her presentation and to seem relaxed and to seem like she was thinking through her points whilst on herfeet. she has always

struggled with public speaking, that has always been a big weakness for her, and i think that really came across in terms of her presentation style. she was probably the least relaxed of her team, despite being the one with their positive message for her party faithful, but rishi sunak talked about a fairy tale, and that seemed to land sunak talked about a fairy tale, and that seemed to [and during the debate and was very effective. i debate and was very effective. i believe we have now established communication with sebastien. we can now see and hear you. talk about what stood out for you as the big issues. most of us feeling that because of living crisis, but there were lots of other issues that they spoke about. did anyone really [and any big issues yesterday and bring them home? i any big issues yesterday and bring them home?— them home? i think the thing that stood out for _ them home? i think the thing that stood out for me _ them home? i think the thing that stood out for me is _ them home? i think the thing that stood out for me is that _ them home? i think the thing that

stood out for me is that slight i stood out for me is that slight disconnect between this conversation the conservative party is having with itself, and what is going on within_ with itself, and what is going on within the — with itself, and what is going on within the rest of the country, because — within the rest of the country, because yesterday, liz truss, the foreign— because yesterday, liz truss, the foreign secretary promised tens of millions— foreign secretary promised tens of millions of— foreign secretary promised tens of millions of pounds worth of tax cuts, _ millions of pounds worth of tax cuts, and — millions of pounds worth of tax cuts, and i'm sure many voters would love to _ cuts, and i'm sure many voters would love to have _ cuts, and i'm sure many voters would love to have tax cuts and see the national — love to have tax cuts and see the national insurance rise reversed and to see _ national insurance rise reversed and to see the _ national insurance rise reversed and to see the policies that the various campaigns— to see the policies that the various campaigns are done, but i think we she soon— campaigns are done, but i think we she soon act— campaigns are done, but i think we she soon act —— rishi sunak was the ultimate _ she soon act —— rishi sunak was the ultimate winner yesterday, because except _ ultimate winner yesterday, because except borisjohnson, every new front _ except borisjohnson, every new front runner has never won the conservative party leadership contest _ conservative party leadership contest. the party loves to go with someone _ contest. the party loves to go with someone who wasn't in first place, but last— someone who wasn't in first place, but last night rishi sunak really established himself as the most authoritative voice in the contest. he was— authoritative voice in the contest. he was more relaxed than he has been in other—

her in the people will go back to truss. it will be old to play for in that vote. in truss. it will be old to play for in that vote-— truss. it will be old to play for in that vote. ., , , ._ that vote. in that debate yesterday, it was quite — that vote. in that debate yesterday, it was quite telling _ that vote. in that debate yesterday, it was quite telling that _ that vote. in that debate yesterday, it was quite telling that krishnan i it was quite telling that krishnan guru murthy asked the audience who trust mps. not one person put their hand up. i wonder whether all of these candidates go away, and they've got to come up with an answer for that. they've got to come up with an answerforthat. it they've got to come up with an answer for that. it will be play time and time again. about trust that sim seemingly we just don't trust our elected politicians. stand trust our elected politicians. and if ou will trust our elected politicians. and if you will said _ trust our elected politicians. and if you will said who was the ultimate _ if you will said who was the ultimate winner of yesterday's debate — ultimate winner of yesterday's debate the answer is probably the labour— debate the answer is probably the labour party, because whenever you see the _ labour party, because whenever you see the dramatic events over the last two— see the dramatic events over the last two weeks combined with the cost of— last two weeks combined with the cost of living crisis, combined with the public— cost of living crisis, combined with the public service legacy of the coronavirus pandemic, that only prevents — coronavirus pandemic, that only prevents public service politicians and i _ prevents public service politicians and i think— prevents public service politicians and i think this was won by boris

mcilroy�*s been on great form so far. how confident will be feeling right now? do you know what? i think he is feeling more confident than he had donein feeling more confident than he had done in a major championship for quite some time. from what we have seenin quite some time. from what we have seen in the last few days, his temperament has been spot on. he has had a few setbacks over the last few days, but he has responded. he picked up full shut yesterday, ten under par, behind the leader. he made a huge birdie on the 17th yesterday. i sat at that hole for about 45 minutes, nobody was making birdie on that hole. i saw paas, i saw bogies, but i did not see any birdies. when he sank that put, a huge roar reverberated around st andrews. what he said after the round yesterday was that he was feeling confident, he was feeling like he was playing consistently, he said i'm just going to hit as many

shots as i can until the holes run out and see where that leaves me. she is leaving him in a pretty good space right now. when he won his only claretjug, if he had to wait another 80 years for one, could this be the year? he is off at 345 a long time his ryder cup team—mate. and it appeared to be an emotional goodbye for tiger woods on this course which he adores so much. yes, he calls this place his favourite course in the world, and when he suffered those devastating injuries in a car crash he always targeted coming back to st andrews, to the home of golf, to play in the open championship. all of those hours of rehab, he has skipped tournaments just to get himself here to get his body ready on time in a position to play. his body did not really play ball. nine over par into a of the pace and missing cut. this may be a victory

for perseverance, and a victory, too, probably for the fans who got too, probably for the fans who got to see him at st andrews for one last time. the ovation that he got when he came down the 18th went on and on and on and on. he said he was not retiring just yet and hope to play more open championships in the future, but admitted he probably wasn't going to have his body on the right shape to play another here at st andrews. the shadow of the golfer he once was, the reaction of the fans in scotland at least has not diminished. great to see the emotion therefore tiger woods. england wrapped up an impressive group stage at euro 2022 as they beat northern ireland 5—0 in southampton. the lionesses had already qualified for the quarterfinals. fran kirby opened the scoring just before half time. it's northern ireland's first major tournament. an own goal completed their defeat as they finished bottom of the group without a win. chelsea have announced their second

signing of the summer, with napoli's kalidou koulibaly now confirmed. the senegal international arrives at stamford bridge following the departures of defenders antonio rudiger to real madrid and andreas christensen to barcelona, both on free transfers. chelsea are currently on tour in america. now to the world athletics championships in oregen, where there was plenty of british action overnight. mostly heats at this stage, but laura muir is through to the semi—finals of the 1500m after finishing second in her heat. muir won tokyo olympic silver in the women's1500 metres. and in the men's 100m heats, zharnel hughes qualified for the semi—finals with a season's best 9.97 seconds. he finished second in his heat behind one of the key favourites for gold, america's fred kurley. but watch this from holly bradshaw. she has had to withdraw from the polevault after her pole snapped during her heat, resulting

in her landing on her back. she did manage to get up, but has withdrawn as a precaution. england's women produced a dominant performance to beat south africa by 114 runs in the second one—day international. sophia dunkley was england's star in bristol, hitting this brilliant six on the way to her first ever international century. england's top four batters all scored more than 50 for the first time in a women's odi. a day after the first british win, on a stage of this year's tour de france, there was almost a second. stage 13 saw 22—year—old fred wright at the front as part of a breakaway of riders. he was in contention for a first race win of his career, right up until he could see the finish line! but former world champion mads pedersen's experience and speed, just proved too much as the dane claimed the victory. jonas vingegaard retained the overall lead. ireland are under way against new zealand, in what could be a momentous day for them if they can win , and clinch a series victory. and they're off to a flier

withjosh van der flier going over afterfour minutes . ireland with early try, for third straight week. the all blacksjordie barrett looked to have a routine chance to hit back, but the full—back pushed his attempt well wide from 35 metres. and then it got even better for ireland as they got their second try through keenan. they currently lead 15—3 the deciding test. they got a third try. it was very hard to concentrate _ they got a third try. it was very hard to concentrate because i they got a third try. it was very i hard to concentrate because there was cheering to my left side here. i thought something is happening here. they started so well against the all blacks. now, the all blacks with always fight back, but ireland are not afraid of them. they are not at all. it looks like they are going into half—time significantly up here. this could be a historic win. it would be an incredible win because no one has beaten new zealand in a series. loads going on.

too much going on. thanks gareth, see you later. the temperature on the pitch rising in more ways than one. louise has all the details on ways than one. there are lots of warnings but crucially that one right next to you. i was thinking about this when driving into work this morning, if i was thinking about a storm and a red warning first that was on the way, damaging winds, snow, stay at home if you don't need to, people take note. but i think when you're talking about sunshine and heat, it is harderfor talking about sunshine and heat, it is harder for people to try and equate to that. i really do need to stress that this is unprecedented heat. we could potentially see 40 celsius. i cannot believe i am broadcasting that kind of heat across the uk and i have been doing thisjob for over 30

across the uk and i have been doing this job for over 30 years. this across the uk and i have been doing thisjob for over 30 years. this is the first—ever extreme heat warning that has been issued by the met office, just to bring home the severity, potentially of this where the story. and it is notjust london or south—east based. it extends all the way up into manchester and leeds, so quite widely through parts of england through monday and into tuesday. we are really going to struggle to adapt to that kind of heat, both with our lifestyle and with the infrastructure. you can see we have got extreme heat and amber warnings across much of wales and into southern scotland. wildly, we have got above—average temperatures across western europe. that is what the orange denotes. we have temperatures in excess of 40 celsius across spain and portugal. it is pushing northwards to the uk on monday and tuesday. it means that the here and now we have got quite a lot of fine and dry weather around. there is some cloud at the moment across the far west of scotland and also stretching into parts of northern ireland. the england and wales, it is dry and settled in

sunny this afternoon. increasingly warm, we could see temperatures peaking into the high 20s. that will stay dry and warm through the night as well. temperatures perhaps into the mid—teens, but further north we continue to see a lot of cloud and showery outbreaks of rain moving from northern ireland into northern england and further into scotland. tomorrow morning, in eastern scotland and across the pennines in northumbria, quite clearly you can see we will have some damp and drizzly weather. that glows away and eventually the sunshine will come through. it's going to be hotter still as you go through to sunday. how uv for many, as those temperatures are going to be widely into the high 20s and potentially entered the low 30s, so we're starting to get into the 90s in terms of fahrenheit. the extreme heat is expected on monday, widely across the country mid to high 30s. could see one or 240 celsius in some places. that extends into tuesday.

on tuesday, we will start to pick up a little bit more moisture with these frontal systems arriving. a bit more humidity, it may well feel a bit more oppressive with that humidity on tuesday, but that may bring some showers, some heavy and thundery, and after that the heat starts to ease away and we are back to a bit more pleasant summer sunshine for many. quite a change, isn't there. thank you for that. will check in with you later. it is 851. dartmoor national park is one of the only places in england where you can go wild camping — and tourists beautiful where you can go wild camping — and tourists have been pitching up their tents on its beautiful open moorland.

but many of the local residents, tired of clearing up litter and repairing damage left by visitors, want to see stricter limits on camping there. john maguire has been to find out more. we have to clean up after people, from human excrement... oh, dear. ..to dirty nappies. katie warnes love everything about living on dartmoor. well, almost everything. clearing up after some visitors is no fun at all. the onus on the clear—up from the camping is on owners, so that comes out of, you know, personal pockets. our personal pocket is not deep at all and so, you know, we're having to personally clear up, ourselves, and also try and make good, ourselves. dartmoor is a wild and wonderful place but, as with all of these natural landscapes, there is a landscape to be struck natural landscapes, there is a balance to be struck

with the needs of people who live and work here and also those who visit these extraordinary places for leisure and pleasure. and it's the dartmoor national park authority that has to achieve that balance. there's a high court action by one owner claiming the public have no right to camp on the land. so could that lead to a ban on low—impact wild camping? it is important that when people enjoy the national park they appreciate it, they don't trash it, so for us we have very limited powers, we have to work in partnership, and an important partnership is with local landowners and farmers. and wild camping is, in many respects, not an issue. the vast majority of people engaged in proper wild camping — no problems whatsoever, you'd never know they're there. you'd never know they'd been there. the trick it to avoid this bit on the left. we get talking to rupert woods as he tests himself against dartmoor�*s granite. he enjoys the great outdoors, including wild camping.

i have done some with my boys when they were growing up. wild camping, as long as we go there for a night, maybe two, tops, take away all your rubbish. just leave it as it was. you should be able to do that. it's a great benefit to people. and i'm sure lots of landowners would agree with that. john howell's family has lived here for 90 years. he's closed a car park on his land to prevent damage and abuse. he's even had to remove graffiti from this bronze age hut circle. there is no genuine threat to wild camping. most of the landowners really support it. the problem is with people who bend the rules to do something which was never intended. but the rules are not sufficiently well defined, so it's actually quite difficult then to convince somebody as to what was intended.

this is the sort of damage done by irresponsible campers, and discovered all too often. the national park's mandate is to manage preservation with access — trying to please everyone. this wilderness offers so much, but its guardians face challenges like never before. john maguire, bbc news, dartmoor. so, lots of work to do there. it's astonishing when you see some of the impact that it has on local people that have been. clean it up. now, a way forfamilies who that have been. clean it up. now, a way for families who have come forward —— a wave of families have come forward warning of a scam tricking parents of a scam tricking parents into thinking their children are in trouble and need a cash transfer. the bbc presenterjacqui oatley wants to highlight the problem — after her mum was targeted. let's have a look. the sender addressed her as "mum" and said she had a new phone number. it said she should delete her old phone number.assuming it was her daughter,

her mum went on to talk about something else. the scammers chatted away, before asking for money to pay an unpaid bill. they asked for more than £2,000 to be sent to an account under an entirely different name. fortu nately, this, along with spelling errors in the messages, made jacqui's mum suspicious. she didn't send the money, but alerted her daughter instead. jacqui joins us now. good morning to you. we won through in broad strokes what happened there. when you tweeted it, the reason that many people would have been convinced by this is because it is quite a personal message. it uses all sorts of rent princes to your mum's life, doesn't it?- mum's life, doesn't it? that's ri . ht, mum's life, doesn't it? that's right. and _ mum's life, doesn't it? that's right, and that's _ mum's life, doesn't it? that's right, and that's why - mum's life, doesn't it? that's right, and that's why it i mum's life, doesn't it? that's right, and that's why it is i mum's life, doesn't it? that's right, and that's why it is so l right, and that's why it is so convincing and why so many people are falling for this. since i tweeted that message a few days ago with the screenshots, i have had so many people replacing this happen to my mum or dad. they were absolutely

convinced. i think for me as their children first think that their parents were scammed and nearly sent money, it's easy to think you're not in a full thorough scan. but when you see the screenshots, and i have seen those of plenty of other people since then, you realise how sophisticated this can be. and in some cases, and i spoke to somebody yesterday who is friend actually paid £6,000 in a virtually identical scam, and that is because they found access to their actual whatsapp messages, so they could find the references to the names of the people in their family. references to the names of the people in theirfamily. so, if somebody messages a mum or dad and then receives a text saying i've dropped my phone down the toilet, i must match my phone. i've got this phone for now, but my phone doesn't work so i can't call you. they then use personal names and, oh, dave is out for the day and i can't get hold of him. i got this bill to pay. this

can come some way into their message conversation so you are not immediately being asked for money. that is why it is so realistic in so many people falling for it. it many people falling for it. it underlinesjust how many people falling for it. it underlines just how sophisticated these scams can now be. it's not just a spam e—mail with a link to click on their new fall prey to other stuff. click on their new fall prey to otherstuff. it click on their new fall prey to other stuff. it really does pray on those emotion, doesn't it? and if it has a bit of personal information in it, you tend to believe it.— it, you tend to believe it. exactly, and i think— it, you tend to believe it. exactly, and i think the _ it, you tend to believe it. exactly, and i think the point _ it, you tend to believe it. exactly, and i think the point being i it, you tend to believe it. exactly, and i think the point being that i and i think the point being that you've already had the conversation. in this case, my mum had already sent me a photograph of some clothes she had very kindly bought for my daughter and i hadn't got round to replying. and she said, we did he liked their outfit? and i said yes, he liked it, smiley emerges. it absolutely got my mum thinking this was the person. she tried to phone me but couldn't get hold of me that

day. so, she did try, but because parents want to help, some people would dismiss it straightaway. would say i'm not transferring it or don't haveit say i'm not transferring it or don't have it or whatever. but i think if you can somehow have access to it and if your child is needed, and also if they say, i can't use this new number with my mobile banking, is going to take a couple of days so that to go through the system, so just in the meantime could you quickly pay this bill for me, and i'll pay you straight back. that's why it's so convincing in so many people are falling for it. the responses on twitter have just proven how widespread it is. i told my brother about it and he message back and said these are the messages i've had, i thought they were from my daughter. everyone i'm talking to about this and said all my mum had this or i had this. so how many people they are getting through to and how many people are starting to believe it and are falling for it, it only encourages them to keep it

going. i would urge anybody watching this to tell your parents and friends to tell their parents. if you get a whatsapp message saying how mum and dad it is me, i've got my phone down the toilet, i smashed my phone down the toilet, i smashed my phone, i can't talk, i'm in a bit of a rush. really check. don't delete the original phone number of your child and bring it straight certainly don't transfer funds. really important top tips. thank you, and thank you for sharing this story. really important for people who might have experienced that. to stay with us for the headlines coming up next.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with rachel burden and ben thompson. our headlines today... preparations for the first national heatwave emergency — as the met office warns soaring temperatures will put lives at risk. it's going to put an enormous pressure and notjust the emergency department but the system as a whole, both gps, communities and billing to the hospital as well. good morning, a weekend of hot sunshine and building heat but it monday into tuesday where the met office has issued its first ever red weather warning for extreme heat. it's possible places in the country could peak at 40 celsius and i will have all the details on that and the implications for you coming up throughout the morning.

the heat means extra challenges for the orgnisers of major events like bristol's harbour festival — a quarter of a million people are expected here this weekend — we'll find out how they're keeping everyone safe. head to head — the five candidates for the conservative leadership — and thejob of prime minister — appear in their first televised debate autumn covid boosterjabs for everyone over 50 — as new variants drive a rise in cases. attention turns to st andrews later — as rory mcilroy looks to continue his sparkling form at the open. the northern irishman is three off the lead at the old course going into day 3 — with cameron smith out in front. good morning, it'sjust after 9am. it's saturday the 16th ofjuly. our top story... a national emergency has been declared and a red "extreme heat" warning issued by the met office for the first time ever in the uk, with predictions that temperatures could hit record highs of 40 celsius in some parts of england.people are being urged to stay safe and check on vulnerable people

when the warning comes into force on monday. it will affect cities like london and manchester and is due to be lifted late on tuesday. graham satchell reports. temperatures in the coming days will be brutal. monday could be the hottest day in british history. seven's gone home, do you want to go into cubicle seven? harrogate hospital in north yorkshire — a national emergency has been declared. the red extreme heat warning means there is a risk to life. health chiefs fear the nhs could be overwhelmed. i am worried that we're going to have a surge in attendences over this weekend and into next week, and it's going to put enormous pressure on notjust the emergency department but the system as a whole, both gps, communities, and well into the hospital as well. the whole system is going to become under pressure. at this care home in warwickshire they are doing all they can to keep residents safe. bill is 81, the former mayor of stratford. each drink he takes is recorded on a hand—held device, meaning hydration levels are constantly monitored.

this the weather out there is terrible, absolutely terrible. as far as i am concerned, it is something that we have got to be careful of. a fire in a barn in essex, the tinder—dry conditions and extreme temperatures means there's been an increase in fire service call—outs. the conditions for firefighters — a real challenge. unfortunately, i have my shirt and my trousers on underneath as well so it's incredibly hot, but we do is we make sure we can do everything we can to make sure our crews are supported, that we have plenty of bottled water on the incident ground, and it's just about sort hydrating and standing in the shade were possible. there will be considerable disruption in the coming days. some schools may close early on monday and tuesday, sports events like horse race meetings have been cancelled and road and rail travel affected. in some parts of the country, train tracks have been painted white

to deflect the heat. potentially we're looking at track temperatures in excess of 50 degrees and that will cause potential rail buckling. beach—goers in dorset yesterday, some sheltering under umbrellas, others applying plenty of sunscreen. everyone concerned about what's to come. how are we going to sleep? laughs. with an element of dread really, it'll be so warm. obviously, it is nice to have nice weather, but that's a bit too warm for us. i am a little bit concerned but i'm determined i will be sitting outside but in a very, very sheltered spot. she said can't wait to put her bikini on, she said, yeah, keen to get down in there. in aberavon in south wales, margarita and ira are taking the seabreeze. they have some good advice for keeping cool. the ladies make sure that we have plenty of water and know why we are drinking it — not to get dehydrated. and they keep everything as cool as they can. we don't go anywhere without our hat

or our sun barrier on. extreme temperatures on the way. we are all being advised to take care. graham satchell, bbc news. a week of extreme heat is continuing in southern europe and morocco, with wildfires causing devastation and forcing many to flee their homes. temperatures on the continent have been way above average for this time of year, with scientists blaming climate change, and predicting more frequent and intense episodes of extreme weather. mark lobel reports. it's still sweltering in south—western europe where wildfires have come sooner, more intense, frequent and longer lasting. 900 firefighters are still cycling around ten fires across portugal, one firefighter killed plane crashed as he was putting out flames in this

region. it hit a giant record reaching 47 celsius on thursday before dropping slightly on friday. this got a bit worse this morning because the wind change and started coming in this direction and thankfully the wind is now pushing it that way. if it has continued this way, it would have earned everything. in this way, it would have earned everything-— everything. in western spain, thousands — everything. in western spain, thousands of _ everything. in western spain, thousands of hectares i everything. in western spain, thousands of hectares of i everything. in western spain, i thousands of hectares of forest have burnt as firefighters and the emergency services try to bring the blaze under control. in the southern province of malaga, 15 airborne units battled a wildfire on friday as the six—day heatwave continues. it's a worrying time for hundreds of evacuees here.— it's a worrying time for hundreds of evacuees here. police drove up and down the road _ evacuees here. police drove up and down the road with _ evacuees here. police drove up and down the road with their _ evacuees here. police drove up and down the road with their sirens i evacuees here. police drove up and down the road with their sirens on | down the road with their sirens on and everyone was told to leave, just leave. no instructions, where to go, leave. no instructions, where to go, leave. ., ., ., ~ ., leave. you have worked all your life to bu a leave. you have worked all your life to buy a nice _ leave. you have worked all your life

because i was the only one who did not vote for the rise in national insurance, and now it seems everyone agrees with me. applause i did a difficult thing to make sure that the nhs got the money needed, and you voted against it, and that's the reality. to be fair to you, rishi. what we did is we had a long conversation about it, and you set out your position, and i asked why on earth this was going to be necessary, and you told me because the boss wanted it. now, the reality is... applause i have done two things. one is raising income thresholds in line with inflation. but also, yes, i have said that i will halve vat on fuel at the pump. the best way to help everyone, the best way to make sure that they have money in their pocket is to get a grip on inflation, and that should be everybody's priority. because that is the thing that's going to a road eve ryone's living standards. two things, rishi, that you haven't realised, is i know you know people

are going to need more help this autumn, but actually people need help now. tax cuts are there to let people keep more of their own moneyl so that they can deal with inflation and cost of living issues. - that is why we do it. it's not so we can. cut public services. and there are other ways to do both. let's get more on this from our political correspondent,tony bonsignore. has this shifted the dial on the whole leadership campaign? goad whole leadership campaign? good mornin: , whole leadership campaign? good morning. no. _ whole leadership campaign? good morning. no. i— whole leadership campaign? good morning, no, i do— whole leadership campaign? good morning, no, i do not— whole leadership campaign? (1357ch. morning, no, i do not think so, not particularly. i think the two performers who are looking at very closely here where penny mordaunt you has really had the momentum over recent days and i don't think there are any huge mistakes from penny mordaunt but neither do i think she really broke through in a way that she might have hoped and rishi sunak as well, he has had a difficult day or two, as well, he has had a difficult day ortwo, one as well, he has had a difficult day or two, one or two difficult interviews and i thought he probably, if any of them had the strongest performance last night, very much playing the competence card, the experience card, and setting himself apart from the

others, because nearly all of them are talking about... and have been talking about tax cut and how difficult it is, how it is not a conservative thing to do and rishi sunak said, no, the focus should be on inflation, getting inflation down because that is the biggest economic enemy right now and from there we can cut taxes later, so i don't think it shifted the dial but it underlined the divisions in the party and there was also a moment so you felt there was a little bit of edge, a bit of nastiness starting to creep in and perhaps that's about nerves, more debates tomorrow and interviews tomorrow and we really are getting to the business end of this bit of the contest because we have more mps voting on monday, possibly a couple more votes after that until we get to the final two and then it goes out to the members. thank you very much, should be whittled down to two by the end of next week. thank you very much, it

is 9:11am. the foreign office has summoned russia's ambassador to explain reports that a british aid worker, who was being held by russian—backed separatists in ukraine, has died. paul urey, originally from warrington, was detained in april and accused of being a mercenary. our correspondentjoe inwood joins us now. joe, what do we know about the circumstances surrounding paul urey�*s death? so, paul urey and another man, dylan healy, had gone on a humanitarian mission in zaporizhzhia where it was an ill—fated mission trying to get into a russian territory to rescue a ukrainian family is what we understand that they were detained by russian and separatist forces as they tried to cross the border and have been held ever since. the only thing we'd seen of paul urey until this point was a single video where he appeared in handcuffs and we understand yesterday from the

donestk people's republic that he died yesterday. this has been met with fury by his family who pleaded with fury by his family who pleaded with him not to go, he was an ill man with type one diabetes and other health conditions and according to the donetsk people's republic, it was these issues along with the stress of being held that caused his death. write about all the while, the russian attack on ukraine has continued with more missile strikes and you're getting more detail about and you're getting more detail about a strike in the dnipro. what are you learning? hate a strike in the dnipro. what are you learnina ? ~ , ., ., ., learning? we understand one of the most sophisticated _ learning? we understand one of the most sophisticated rocket _ learning? we understand one of the most sophisticated rocket and i most sophisticated rocket and satellite factories, possibly the most in the country, was destroyed or hitting the strike with a number

of advanced russian cruise missiles landing yesterday with three people killed but what was interesting is this is a facility that has produced the first satellite ukraine have put into orbit for many years and an interesting aside is it was launched by spacex, the company of elon musk. elon musk has been involved in this conflict by providing satellites to ukrainians which was not his facility here but it was an advanced one that was hit.— one that was hit. quite a significant _ one that was hit. quite a significant target, i one that was hit. quite a significant target, one i one that was hit. quite a i significant target, one would imagine. thank you for that update live from kyiv. it's likely the weather will be the main subject you will be talking about with friends and family this weekend. let's get you fully prepped with louise. temperatures creeping up with louise. temperatures creeping up from today? yes, the next few days will get hotter and hotter and so we do have

this red extreme heat warning that has been issued by the met office, red warnings in general are very rare, we only get a couple a year but this is the first extreme heat warning we've ever had. why? because thatis warning we've ever had. why? because that is potentially the first time we could see temperatures peaking at 40 celsius. across parts of england and these are the areas at risk so it is notjust south east centric, it is notjust south east centric, it is notjust south east centric, it is very widespread across the country and the amber extreme heat warning is extended across wales and into southern scotland as well. the reason being, the extreme heat we've got across western europe, the darker reds denoting the average for the time of year and temperatures in spain and portugal over the last few days have been in the mid—40s, some of the heat will push its way steadily northwards. for the here and now, we do have some cloud and you can see quite clearly where,

north—west scotland and into northern ireland will be a rather grey afternoon as the cloud pushes its way steadily eastwards as well. bringing some rain into northern ireland, western fringes of scotland through the day so here the temperatures hold up to 19 celsius. elsewhere, widely mid to high 20s so high uv out there if you spend any length of time outside, please bear that in mind and that wind through the night tonight, we keep the clear skies through england and wales but it will turn increasingly hot into the low 30s for sunday and don't forget the 43 degrees threat as we head into monday and tuesday. thank you, it will get very, very hot over the next few days. we will stick with that right now. as temperatures are set to hit 40 celcius for the first time next week, many people are looking for the best ways they can keep their cool and stay safe. and maybe enjoy it if you can. let's try and get some advice now.

we're joined by two of our regular health experts — dr chris smith and dr helen wall. do you enjoy the hot weather, helen, for a start? i do you enjoy the hot weather, helen, for a start? ., ., ., for a start? i love the hot weather but this will _ for a start? i love the hot weather but this will be _ for a start? i love the hot weather but this will be something - for a start? i love the hot weather but this will be something else i for a start? i love the hot weather. but this will be something else that we haven't seen. like when you are like me, you've got freckle so we are not necessarily built for 40 degrees heat. no, i can burn in winter in wales sol degrees heat. no, i can burn in winter in wales so i always have factor 50 on and i wear it every single day on my face. i am really fair skin. single day on my face. i am really fairskin. i single day on my face. i am really fair skin. , , , . single day on my face. i am really fairskin. , ,, . �* fair skin. i suspect you're the same, chris. _ fair skin. i suspect you're the same, chris. yes, _ fair skin. i suspect you're the same, chris. yes, absolutelyj fair skin. i suspect you're the i same, chris. yes, absolutely and helen are — same, chris. yes, absolutely and helen are spot — same, chris. yes, absolutely and helen are spot on, _ same, chris. yes, absolutely and helen are spot on, the _ same, chris. yes, absolutely and helen are spot on, the worst i same, chris. yes, absolutely and l helen are spot on, the worst thing you can do for your skin apart from smoking to age it is get too much sunshine, a little bit is really good, makes vitamin d, we cannot make it in our own bodies community sunshine on your skin for 30 minutes to do that but to make starts to break down the elastic tissue and leave you wrinkly and leathery so take it easy. leave you wrinkly and leathery so take it easy-— take it easy. nice to see your address for — take it easy. nice to see your address for it, _ take it easy. nice to see your address for it, i _ take it easy. nice to see your address for it, i love - take it easy. nice to see your address for it, i love the i take it easy. nice to see your. address for it, i love the style. take it easy. nice to see your i address for it, i love the style. i thought i would get into the occasion. thought i would get into the occasion-— thought i would get into the occasion. ., ~ ., ,

elderly and young, these extreme heat weathers can affect literally anyone and clearly if you have underlying health conditions, if your blood pressure is already low or your on medication, your blood pressure is already low oryour on medication, if your blood pressure is already low or your on medication, if you have heart problems, you're more at risk, thatis heart problems, you're more at risk, that is a given but it can affect anyone and you can get heat exhaustion and heat stroke. istut’hat anyone and you can get heat exhaustion and heat stroke. what is the science of— exhaustion and heat stroke. what is the science of keeping _ exhaustion and heat stroke. what is the science of keeping cool? i exhaustion and heat stroke. what is the science of keeping cool? the i the science of keeping cool? the bod 's the science of keeping cool? the body's best _ the science of keeping cool? tue: body's best way the science of keeping cool? tte: body's best way of keeping colours with sweat and you can sweat prodigious amounts. in the right conditions, you can lose five litres per hour of sweat and a lot of it through your feet actually on the way that works is when you produce sweat, which is made by basically filtering the liquid part of blot out through very thin blood vessels which have got holes in the walls and the salty water comes out into sweat glands, and then into the surface of the water, as that water evaporates from your skin, it takes with that extra heat from the skin,

and that energy cools your skin down and that energy cools your skin down and as helen was saying, your body, when you get too hot, because it diverts a lot of your blood flow to the skin of your peripheries especially, there is lots of hot blood next to cool the skin and that helps to take the heat away from the board so you return to the course your body cooler and that brings the body temperature down. you your body cooler and that brings the body temperature down.— your body cooler and that brings the body temperature down. you do have to relace body temperature down. you do have to replace that _ body temperature down. you do have to replace that presumably. - to replace that presumably. absolutely and if you are losing up to five litres per hour which in very hot and humid countries people may struggle to maintain the temperature but you do sweat prodigious amounts, that comes from somewhere and your body is two thirds water so you have plenty of water on board to do it short term but if you keep losing water in that way you want the hydrate and lose total body water and this will rob effectively water from the circulation and if you drop the volume of your circulation, your blood flow, you are though your blood flow, you are though your blood pressure which is why you then feel faint and people who are

already under conditions ofjeopardy because of they are on board pressure medication or cannot maintain enough already have low blood pressure naturally, they are more at risk of finding which is why drinking to replace what you put in is important but do not overdo it, drink when you feel thirsty, do not force yourself to drink because the bodyis force yourself to drink because the body is really good at regulating how much water you have on board, it is very sensitive and your brain is continuously containing how salty your blood is and itjuices that measure of the saltiness of the board to work out the concentration of the blood and therefore how dehydrated you are, so when it detects the salt level is rising, it makes you feel thirstier to put back the water so drink when you feel like it, do not force yourself to drink too much or you'll make yourself ill in the opposite direction. yourself ill in the opposite direction-— yourself ill in the opposite direction. ., , ., , direction. that is all genuinely fascinating _ direction. that is all genuinely fascinating and _ direction. that is all genuinely fascinating and it's _ direction. that is all genuinely fascinating and it's good i direction. that is all genuinely fascinating and it's good old i fascinating and it's good old regular sips we should be doing. hate regular sips we should be doing. we hear regular sips we should be doing. - hear all this advice in order to stay indoors, open windows and all that sort of stuff. the reality for

into a third bomb which again is probably provoked by all of those same factors but also the arrival of more variance and the thing i'm looking at is are they translating into consequences? yes, there are people in hospitals, this bomb is a bit smaller than the previous two bumps but there are not people in intensive care with anything like the rates of what seeing two years ago and seriously broken the link by vaccination but also natural immunity from peoplejust vaccination but also natural immunity from people just catching and topping up their infection and immunity thanks to infection. so we are not seeing the translation of cases into consequences with anything like the rates we were so in some respects, i'm reassured that we do have good levels of immunity in the population but i'm looking forward in time because what we mustn't do is take our eye off the autumn ball but was coming in the autumn will be another seasonal surge of all the usual suspects that will rear their ugly heads when the schools go back because when schools go back people have come back on holiday and everyone is mixing together indoors again and these are

the perfect scenarios and settings for all kinds of diseases to search and flu will be among them and in countries like new zealand and australia, it is their flu season and they having a hard time with flu so we will be keeping a weather eye on what the flue is doing and hopefully preparing for that you come here as well because we expect covid to cause problems but flu is one thing we must watch this winter. what a cheery thought for the rest of the year but forewarned is forearmed and all that. let's grab boosters. i'm surprised there is 3 million adult you have not come forward for any sort of vaccine and we are now at the point of new variance, talking about booster jabs, previously it was for the 60 fights and over, vulnerable people and now the suggestion is 50 and above which starts in the autumn. that feels like quite a way to autumn given the case numbers we are seeing right now. hate autumn given the case numbers we are seeing right now-— seeing right now. we are making lans and seeing right now. we are making plans and primary _ seeing right now. we are making plans and primary care _ seeing right now. we are making

vaccine means now has to be tied in. we have managed to vaccinate both flue and covid last year by giving people one in each arm. this is no mean feat to vaccinate all these people so it helps in terms of people so it helps in terms of people and being vaccinated for those are not having to wait in between and also delivery of the programme so i'm hoping we will be able to vaccinate them both together but there are logistics across the country. so much tojuggle. really fascinating insight. thank you for being with us. nice to see you. pleasure, see you soon. i cannot stop thinking — pleasure, see you soon. i cannot stop thinking about _ pleasure, see you soon. i cannot stop thinking about sweaty i pleasure, see you soon. i cannot stop thinking about sweaty feet. | pleasure, see you soon. i cannot i stop thinking about sweaty feet. i'm

it is 931 so we're talking about the hot weather that is coming in the next couple of days. as we've been reporting this morning, a national emergency has been declared and a red "extreme heat" warning issued by the met office for the first time ever in the uk. so, how will the weather impact all the outdoor events taking place this weekend, and how can you make sure you stay safe whilst still having fun? matt graveling is at bristol harbour festival, where organisers are doing just that. it is looking gorgeous this morning. the organisers are very keen to welcome about a quarter of a million people. is that right? morning, matt. good morning, this is the 50th maritime history festival and i welcome you aboard to the pelican, a square of tall ship... mat, bear with us, you sound like you are underwater students not on the boat. what matt was trying to tell us is 250,000 people are due to attend.

it's their 50th anniversary of the bristol harbour festival. with the weather set to do what it is doing, hitting a0 by monday or tuesday, there are warnings. i've been to the harbour festival at bristol because they used to work there. it's an absolutely fabulous occasion. and when you see the tall ships coming into the harbour, it is spectacular. 0f into the harbour, it is spectacular. of course, bristol is a city is all centred around that harbour—side area, so the whole of the city and all the visitors throng around the waterfront there. it's gorgeous. it will be quite a sight to see when the weather is good, of course, but the weather is good, of course, but the warning is with the weather be careful. let's bring you up—to—date with an exciting weekend of sport, including the rugby that we are keeping a very close eye on right now. good morning.

yes, the rugby is so tense, islander ahead. the open at st andrews then, where it was an emotional one for one of the all—time greats of golf. and the attention turns to rory mcllory, who is very much in with a shout still. let's head to st andrews now, and join our reporter ben croucher, who is at the old course for us. mcilroy�*s been on great form so far. how confident will be feeling right now? do you know what, i think you will be feeling as confident that a major as he has done for some time. let me just give you a taster of how consistent he has been in the main tournaments this year. at the us pga he finished eighth, and at the us last month he finished fifth. and what these golfers or michael roy will tell you, is if you put yourself in a position to win often enough, eventually, the pots were dropped. and they have dropped for michael roy so far this week over

the first two days, sitting ten under par, and what has really been impressive about him is his temperament meant. he has dealt with some of the bad breaks that you get on a course. arnesen andrews, you can have a boom drive right down the fairway, but an uneven bounce can kick the ball into the rough, and you just need to be able to weather that, take your medicine, take your par or even the bogey and crack on. he has been able to do that with some aplomb this week. he is sitting three shots behind the lead as i said. he is in his best place in an open championship at this point. let's see if he can do the same again this year. a good few days ahead. who else should be be keeping our eye on today? there are some big taint names at the top of the leaderboard. there is a veritable who's who of golf at the top of this leaderboard right now. you have the likes of dustinjohnson, adam scott, scotty scheffler, all major

champions in the chasing pack. you've got these people who think however they not won a major yet. ryder cup players who are all trying to catch cameron smith. he is the players champion this year. he finished third at the masters earlier this year, yet to win a major, but the man from brisbane near the sunshine coast, very much feeling at home in these glorious sunny conditions at the home of golf. it is a beautiful day here at st andrews. there is barely a breath of wind in the sky. this is going to be a low scoring day because these are glorious conditions, not very lengthy conditions which means the likes of cameron smith will enjoy themselves like they did yesterday. 13 and par is a two shot lead. on a day like today, the tricky decision you have to make, with the beach just over there in the old course behind us, what do you choose? i forgot my flip—flops, so it will have to be the goal. i'm so jealous. thank you very much.

england wrapped up an impressive group stage at euro 2022 as they beat northern ireland 5—0 in southampton. the lionesses had already qualified for the quarter finals. fran kirby opened the scoring just before half time. it's northern ireland's first major tournament. an own goal completed their defeat as they finished bottom of the group without a win. i think the way that everyone has handled themselves in this tournament so far has been amazing. i think everyone has put a shift in when they needed to. subs coming off the bench has made an impact in games —— a massive impact on games. in football it's a case of who can be the freshest of the longest and take their chances. we need to get over this win, get our recovery right and get ready for the next game. chelsea have announced their second signing of the summer, with napoli's kalidou koulibaly now confirmed. the senegal international arrives at stamford bridge following the departures of defenders antonio rudiger to real madrid and andreas christensen to barcelona,

both on free transfers. chelsea, who signed raheem sterling this week, are currently on tour in america. now to the world athletics championships in oregen, there was plenty of british action overnight. mostly heats at this stage, but laura muir is through to the semi—finals of the 1500m after finishing second in her heat. muir won tokyo olympic silver in the women's1500 metres. and in the men's100m heats, zharnel hughes qualified for the semi—finals with a season's best 9.97 seconds. he finished second in his heat behind one of the key favourites for gold, america's fred kurley. but watch this from holly bradshaw. she has had to withdraw from the pole vault after her pole snapped during her heat, resulting in her landing on her back. she did manage to get up, but has withdrawn as a precaution. ireland are underway against new zealand, in what could be a momentous day for them — if they can win and clinch a series victory.

they are ahead as they attempt to clinch a first—ever win in new zealand. and they're off to a flier, withjosh van der flier going over after four minutes. ireland with early try, for third straight week. they were 22 — three up at the break. they have just got another try, so it was really close. now, i believe it is 30—22. it's still too close, though. now it is 30—22. yes, they really are marching on at the moment, ireland, as they attempt to make history here. this could be incredible. do you know, new zealand missed the conversion of their last try, but they are really close. and it's all happening while i'm on. all the island action, anyhow. are they still down to 1a men, ireland? yes. but at the moment it looks like they got the advantage in terms of the

points situation, but new zealand, with the momentum that they have in the names they have in their team, they could turn it around at any point, so you can never count on what could turn around here. well we need to move on, gavin. although i'd love to sit and talk about this morning. and don't forget all the otherfour nations morning. and don't forget all the other four nations involved this afternoon. five live will have commentary this afternoon. zipping it now. thank you. see you later. so we talk about something else? all right. if we must. let's go back to bristol. we were talking there about the heat warning and also some of the heat warning and also some of the events getting under way at the weekend. matt grayling is at the bristol harbour festival for us. we fix the sound. good morning to you. i think that he may have played a little bit of havoc with the sound.

celebrating the city but also celebrating its maritime history. if you look below me, we have the deck clean going on ready to welcome lots and lots of visitors, all of whom are being told to stay hydrated, where that's in green, and there are plenty of refill stations around the city where people can bring a bottle and get a refill free throughout the day to make sure they drink lots and lots of water. so why should you come to this fantastic festival? a quarter of million people are expected this weekend. there is to axel, the pelican. why should people come and see this man live lesson boat? �* , , ., ., ., come and see this man live lesson boat? �*, , ., ., ., , boat? it's been a long two years. it's ureat boat? it's been a long two years. it's great to _ boat? it's been a long two years. it's great to be _ boat? it's been a long two years. it's great to be back _ boat? it's been a long two years. it's great to be back on _ boat? it's been a long two years. it's great to be back on the i boat? it's been a long two years. | it's great to be back on the water, get the ships out, get them sailing and do the things we do best. at home and get them sailing and get youngsters out at sea and show them what that is all about. sailing ships. it isjust a great opportunity for young people to learn life skills and learn the

benefits of teamwork. if you are on a ship like this, you are trying to do something by yourself, you can achieve very little. for some of the jobs, you won ten people, or you could probably do it with five people who know what they're doing, but the will you work together, the more you and achieve. that's what you get. just briefly, we are by the water so it is cooler, but being on a ship there are also some hidden dangers with regards to the heat. obviously, by their water, you have twice the amount of sunshine because you have water from above in the sun being reflected from the water. the water soaking up the heat does make it a bit more bearable, but a lot more chance of sunburn, so make sure everyone has their sunscreen on and keeps hydrated. everyone has their sunscreen on and keeps hydrated-— everyone has their sunscreen on and keeps hydrated. thank you so much. h dration keeps hydrated. thank you so much. hydration and _ keeps hydrated. thank you so much. hydration and suncream, _ keeps hydrated. thank you so much. hydration and suncream, we - keeps hydrated. thank you so much. hydration and suncream, we cannot| hydration and suncream, we cannot say enough. the pelican is one of the ships here at the maritime festival, but there are lots of

other things going on at the event. julian is in charge of some of the acrobatics that we may see this weekend. tell me a little bit briefly about what people can see while they are here. we briefly about what people can see while they are here.— briefly about what people can see while they are here. we have some ureat while they are here. we have some great family — while they are here. we have some great family entertainment - while they are here. we have some great family entertainment this i great family entertainment this year, trapeze artists, jugglers, all sorts of amazing circus performers from overseas and the local area. we have our famous baby race this afternoon which is always a big crowd pleaser and lots of other entertainment around the square. that sounds like it could be hot well, so what are you doing to keep the acrobats call?— the acrobats call? there are some aood the acrobats call? there are some good shaded _ the acrobats call? there are some good shaded areas _ the acrobats call? there are some good shaded areas and _ the acrobats call? there are some good shaded areas and some i the acrobats call? there are some i good shaded areas and some beautiful big trees there so we have got the baby racing under the trees and we have a fridge full of icebox backstage. so we will be watering and fuel ring are artists throughout the day. it and fuel ring are artists throughout the da . , and fuel ring are artists throughout theda. , ., ., the day. it is important to say we are in the — the day. it is important to say we are in the west. _

have had a0 celsius and first time we will have had an extreme heat warning issued by the met office. unprecedented this heat we are expecting over the next few days. our lifestyle and infrastructure is really going to struggle to cope with those kind of temperatures. this is where the red warning is affected in areas as you can see from manchester and leeds down to the london area. yes, we have that and the heat warning as well. that encompasses the whole of england, wales and even parts of southern scotland as well. so some very uncomfortable weather conditions to come over the next few days. it is because we're seeing that heat in western europe at the moment. the oranges denoting temperature is above the average for the time of year. you can see how widespread it is. just recently we saw temperatures in excess of a0 celsius across spain and portugal goal. it is pushing north. for the here and now, we have some cloud around across scotland and northern ireland. it will bring some light rain today as well as it continues

to drift its way steadily eastwards. england and wales on the whole largely fine and dry. again, we are looking at some of the high uv because that sunshine is going to be pretty strong at this time of year, and temperatures peaking into the high 20s. underneath the cloud and the rain, a bit more of a breeze here. temperatures perhaps into the high teens. that is going to push its way steadily eastwards through the night tonight. first thing tomorrow morning, across the eastern scotland and north england will start off rather grey and damp. a warm start across england and wales and we will have the best of the early morning sunshine and even into the afternoon is that rain pushes away, the cloud breaks up in the sunshine pushes through and it will start to get hotter with temperatures peaking into the low 30s. as we move into monday, as i say, a few temperatures could see —— if you could see temperatures as high as a0 celsius, 10a fahrenheit.

the heat is pushing its way into scotland. on tuesday, on top of that, it will still be very hot indeed and increasingly humid as a weather front starts to threaten. so tuesday will really feel quite oppressive indeed. once that weather front moves through and brings the risk of some showers and thunderstorms as well, then the weather story will turn back to a little more like normal, with temperatures into the mid 20s, and that will certainly feel a lot more comfortable. back to you. thank you very much. quite a difference there from tuesdays temperatures and then the rest of the week feels a little bit more normal. it might feel cold even. this is a really incredible story that you may be completely unaware of. they're known as the "war detectives" — officials from the ministry of defence whose job it is to trace

the families of soldiers who lost their lives in battle when nine british world war i soldiers were found buried in a trench in belgium a quest to find theirfamilies began. my my mother was not able to show emotion. ijust felt my mother was not able to show emotion. i just felt so sad for her that she had grown up without parents. that she had grown up without arents. ., , , that she had grown up without arents. . , , parents. there was 'ust something missinu parents. there was 'ust something missing right _ parents. there wasjust something missing right through _ parents. there wasjust something missing right through our - parents. there wasjust something missing right through our lives, i missing right through our lives, really. missing right through our lives, reall . �* , ., ., missing right through our lives, reall. �* ., ., , really. blender is one of thousands of --eole really. blender is one of thousands of people across _ really. blender is one of thousands of people across britain _ really. blender is one of thousands of people across britain who i really. blender is one of thousands of people across britain who have i really. blender is one of thousands i of people across britain who have no idea what happened to their missing relatives. i have a great uncle who was lusting world war i and never found. this is the french record of his death. but of course, we cannot go and dig up all the battlefields of northern france and belgium to find ourfallen, because life has of northern france and belgium to find our fallen, because life has to go on. but sometimes, an accidental

discovery gives us hope. in october 2018, belgian road workers came across one of the largest discoveries in british cals shelties ever uncovered on the battlefields of world war i. the next step was to try to identify them. the find was referred to a small team in the ministry of defence is joined casualty and compassionate centre known as the war detectives. we're joined now —— we're joined now by "war detective" tracey bowers, along with brenda clayton, who you saw in that clip, and rachel fixsen, who also features in the show. what an incredible job you have. let's focus on the discovery of these nine last soldiers that form these nine last soldiers that form the basis of this film. how were they discovered and how did you

once we had his identification, because he was named in the war diary, we were able to look at the other soldiers who were found alongside their officer. hence we got in touch with the other families and brenda. got in touch with the other families and lzvrenda-— got in touch with the other families and brenda. . �* ., , ., and brenda. rachel and brenda, you came into this _ and brenda. rachel and brenda, you came into this quite _ and brenda. rachel and brenda, you came into this quite separately. i came into this quite separately. brenda you had been researching the history, but rachel this came completely out of the blue? it history, but rachel this came completely out of the blue? it was a total surprise. _ completely out of the blue? it was a total surprise. i _ completely out of the blue? it was a total surprise. i got _ completely out of the blue? it was a total surprise. i got an _ completely out of the blue? it was a total surprise. i got an e-mail i completely out of the blue? it was a total surprise. i got an e-mail one i total surprise. i got an e—mail one afternoon — total surprise. i got an e—mail one afternoon it— total surprise. i got an e—mail one afternoon. it did not look familiar to me. _ afternoon. it did not look familiar to me. and — afternoon. it did not look familiar to me, and to be honest i thought it might— to me, and to be honest i thought it might be _ to me, and to be honest i thought it might be a _ to me, and to be honest i thought it might be a scam. it was worded very formally _ might be a scam. it was worded very formally. yeah, good afternoon, i apologise — formally. yeah, good afternoon, i apologise for the speculative nature of this— apologise for the speculative nature of this e—mail. and i thought it doesn't — of this e—mail. and i thought it doesn't sound like anything really for me _ doesn't sound like anything really for me. but i was looking down it and i_ for me. but i was looking down it and i saw— for me. but i was looking down it and i saw the name of my grandmother, and my mother, my great grandmother. ijust thought, those names— grandmother. ijust thought, those names are — grandmother. ijust thought, those names are not on the internet, so...
