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.

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 go| 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 on self id. - exactly. 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. a he found himself defending his own policy. 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. let's speak to our our political correspondent, tony bonsignore. tony, let's get your assessment first of— tony, let's get your assessment first of all— tony, let's get your assessment first of all of that debate, what did you — first of all of that debate, what did you make of it? | first of all of that debate, what did you make of it?— first of all of that debate, what did you make of it? i don't think there were _ did you make of it? i don't think there were any _ did you make of it? i don't think there were any howlers - did you make of it? i don't think there were any howlers for- did you make of it? i don't think| there were any howlers for many did you make of it? i don't think. there were any howlers for many of there were any howlers for many of the candidates but also i think if any of them were hoping this was the break—out moment, you think particularly of penny mordaunt, tom tugendhat or kenny baker knock —— or kemi badenoch. but rishi sunak had a few difficult days, he has come out a lot better, he came across pretty solid last night, he got across his key message which is this is the time now for experience and penny

mordaunt has had momentum the past couple of days but i don't think she particularly built on that but they will all feel like going into tomorrow's round of interviews there was a lot to play for. horse tomorrow's round of interviews there was a lot to play for.— was a lot to play for. how much do ou think was a lot to play for. how much do you think they _ was a lot to play for. how much do you think they will _ was a lot to play for. how much do you think they will be _ was a lot to play for. how much do you think they will be calibrating . you think they will be calibrating their message and brushing up on presentation skills? the their message and brushing up on presentation skills?— their message and brushing up on presentation skills? the latter more than the former. _ presentation skills? the latter more than the former. we _ presentation skills? the latter more than the former. we are _ presentation skills? the latter more than the former. we are at - presentation skills? the latter more than the former. we are at the - than the former. we are at the business end and we have the morning political programmes. we will have a debate tomorrow evening and there was not a huge amount of time for them to come up with new policies on your ideological twists, it is now about presentation and that is something i imagine liz truss will want to think about, probably not her strongest performance. it will now be about confidence, getting smoother and reaching out to mps, to party members because literally a8 hours and a bit more, mps will be voting again and by monday night, at least another one will be gordon.

some breaking news from ukraine, where a series of russian missile strikes has hit the country's leading space rocket and satellite factory. that's according to the mayor of dnipro. air raid sirens have sounded across kyiv too as russia intensified its long—range bombardment of ukrainian cities. let's get the latest from our correspondent joe inwood who's in kyiv. tell us about the situation there, where you are. this attack on the rocket and satellite factory, formerly used by elon musk, i believe, who has very publicly back to ukraine. —— backed ukraine. yes. to ukraine. -- backed ukraine. yes, in the dnipro — to ukraine. -- backed ukraine. yes, in the dnipro the _ to ukraine. -- backed ukraine. yes, in the dnipro the missiles _ to ukraine. —— backed ukraine. yes, in the dnipro the missiles landed but they— in the dnipro the missiles landed but they have been overhead. it was one of— but they have been overhead. it was one of the _ but they have been overhead. it was one of the most advanced rocket and satellite _ one of the most advanced rocket and satellite manufacturers in the soviet — satellite manufacturers in the soviet union. it was the first of

istanbul back in 2018. he, in the first weeks of his presidency, refused to communicate with saudi arabia, in that time where they normally do a round of talks and introductions with different world leaders. and this was something that i raised in the early hours of the morning when i sat down and interviewed saudi arabia's foreign minister, adel bin ahmed al—jubeir. and i asked him about notjust that pariah comment — what he thought of it — but why he thoughtjoe biden had changed his mind and decided to come here and have that meeting. what happens in a political campaign generally doesn't survive the reality of being in office, because in office you have access to information, you have access to advisers, you have access to intelligence, and you are governing and conducting the affairs of government. president trump said things about saudi arabia during the campaign, but then when he was in office, we had a great relationship with him. so what happens in campaigns is what i call happens during the silly season.

many of his critics would have preferred that he didn't come here and have this meeting in the first place. he's been forced to justify it repeatedly. he said that he wanted to raise human rights issues, that stability in the middle east and america's part in that is important. because, don't forget, countries like russia and china are eyeing this part of the world and trying to build their own influence here. so he spent time saying why he needed to do this. but i think the optics of this trip, the photo that we saw last night ofjoe biden and crown prince mohammed bin salman fist—bumping in the royal palace, that will do very little to try and quell some of the criticism that he's received. i think for him what would be seen as a win now from this trip, particularly to saudi arabia, is if he can try and get some concessions on oil, and he'll be pursuing that today at the gulf cooperation council summit. let's return to our top story — and the extreme red weather warning issued for large parts of england.

with the record—breaking temperatures doctors are reminding people with darker skin to wear sunscreen. there's a common misconception that having darker skin makes you invulnerable to the sun's rays. melanin, the pigment in skin, protects people up to a certain point but it doesn't make the body immune. let's speak to isser nener, who was diagnosed with skin cancer in her late twenties. thank you so much forjoining us today. take us back to 2009 which is when you found a mole on the back of your leg, what happened next? i your leg, what happened next? i found them all on the back of my leg in 2009 on holiday with a friend. —— mike i found the mole. a friend pointed that out and i was like, this has always been here and it's nothing major but ijust listen to her, went to my gp and gp sent me a dermatology specialist, and as soon as they seen it, they were like, we need to remove it now, so two weeks later, they said to me it was skin cancer, so i was very shocked

someone of my skin colour, because i rarely did put any suncream on my body apart from my face, so that is how it all started. white met you had not used sunscreen when you're growing up, did not think it was necessary. —— you had not used sunscreen when you're growing up, did not think it was necessary. it must have been a huge shock to get the diagnosis and thank goodness you took your friends advice so what happened next?— happened next? yes, i did not use any suncream. _ happened next? yes, i did not use any suncream, i'm _ happened next? yes, i did not use any suncream, i'm originally - happened next? yes, i did not use any suncream, i'm originally from | any suncream, i'm originally from africa, have been on hot holidays and you never think because you think your skin is darker, you've got melanin, a natural spf, and you just do not bother and now i know a lot of things about skin cancer so what they did was they removed more of the actual... after removing the mole, they removed more of the back of my leg and just said we've got to do some tests and see if it spread, luckily it came back to — three

weeks later that nothing had spread and i did not have to have chemotherapy or any radiotherapy, they just checked chemotherapy or any radiotherapy, theyjust checked on me for five years, so i was going in every three months for three years and in the last two years it was six months and then it's all over. i’m last two years it was six months and then it's all over.— then it's all over. i'm really pleased — then it's all over. i'm really pleased to _ then it's all over. i'm really pleased to hear _ then it's all over. i'm really pleased to hear now- then it's all over. i'm really pleased to hear now that l then it's all over. i'm really i pleased to hear now that you then it's all over. i'm really - pleased to hear now that you are free from cancer, thank goodness, and you are working with cancer research uk to get the message out that no matter what your skin colour is, you can get skin cancer.- is, you can get skin cancer. yeah, no matter— is, you can get skin cancer. yeah, no matter what _ is, you can get skin cancer. yeah, no matter what skin _ is, you can get skin cancer. yeah, no matter what skin you - is, you can get skin cancer. yeah, no matter what skin you are, - is, you can get skin cancer. yeah, no matter what skin you are, skin| is, you can get skin cancer. yeah, l no matter what skin you are, skin is skin. at the end of the day, it's only the colour, so with cancer research uk, the advice is obviously sick shade cover up spf every two hours, a lot of people think it will last all day but it only last two hours and a lot of water resistant ones are better because if you go swimming it will still stay. white michael really good advice, glad you are fit and well now and thank you

so much for helping us get that important message across. —— really good advice, glad you are fit and well now and thank you so much for helping us get that important message across. cani can i add one more thing? sorry, we have just lost isser but will try and get that on twitter. hello there. unprecedented heat is heading our way. there is a potentialfor somewhere across the uk to record a first—ever a0 degrees celsius monday into tuesday. and that has triggered the first—ever extreme heat warning published by the met office to cover monday and tuesday. areas that could potentially have this extreme heat really stretching from london all the way up towards manchester and leeds. but we still have an amber weather warning for extreme heat covering wales, the whole of england and into southern scotland as well. now, the heat is moving up from spain. if you've been watching forecasts recently, you'll know we've seen

temperatures over the last few days peaking in portugal and spain into the mid—forties, and some of that heat is going to be pushing its way steadily northwards during monday and tuesday. for the here and now, we have got some cloud around, as you can see quite clearly across scotland and northern ireland. that's going to produce some light patchy rain through the day. elsewhere though, it's all about blue sky and sunshine for the remainder of the afternoon, and the temperatures will start to climb. so, yes, we keep that cloud through scotland and northern ireland. and here temperatures a little more subdued — ranging from 12 to perhaps 20 degrees. but further south, we could see top temperatures peaking around 28 or 29 celsius. that's into the low eighties. overnight tonight, we keep those clear skies across england and wales.

there will be outbreaks of showery rain moving through scotland and also into northwest england as well. that'll be there first thing in the morning. so it could be a rather grey and drab start for scotland and perhaps to the north east of the pennines. but eventually that rain will ease away. sunshine will then start to dominate for the majority of the country. perhaps the northern isles and the western isles staying a little cloudier and cooler. but temperatures through sunday afternoon could peak into the low thirties. then we've got that heat warning, and that is for monday into tuesday. just take a look at the temperatures. we could see quite widely mid to high 30s, maybe a0 degrees in one or two places. and even the temperatures further north will climb into the high twenties. the good news is we could see some thundery breakdown on wednesday, a little cooler and fresher later.

hello this is bbc news. the headlines... fires continue to burn out of control as parts of france, portugal and spain endure record—breaking temperatures. thousands of people are evacuated from their homes. the first national heatwave emergency has been declared in the uk, and the met office warns tempatures could put �*fit and healthy�* lives at risk. the race for conservative party leader and next prime minister continues as the five remaining candidates battle it out in the first tv debate. considering the weather we're getting over the next few days, how about this for a challenge? andy peterson is setting out on an epic 2,500km bike ride, cycling to all four corners of the uk in just seven days, and without any support team around him. it's all to raise funds for research into colon cancer,

and he's doing it in honour of tom smith, the former
