hello, and welcome to bbc news. a sudden heatwave that has triggered foreign spies across europe has no signs of easing up. and you temperature records look to be on the way. the heat is thought to have claimed many lives, possibly hundreds, and our correspondent bethany bell has this report from malaga. fire crackles. wildfires are raging in spain after days of intense heat. firefighters battled the flames in extremadura in the west of the country. in the south near malaga, a popular tourist area, at least 3000 people have been

evacuated from their homes. when we arrived, a new fire had just broken out in the woods. helicopter whirrs. 0verhead, helicopters carrying water returned again and again to try to put out the flames. fires keep breaking out in these hills, and it is a real struggle for the firefighters to try stop the blazes. the air is full of thick smoke which stings your eyes and makes you want to cough, and it's very hot. 0n the road we met sharon from england. she lives nearby with her daughter valentina. their home is safe but they were out trying to round up pets and animals who were left behind when their owners fled. we're supposed to help, you know, see if anybody needs any help evacuating, especially the animals. a lot of the animals get left behind. have you ever felt frightened? frightened? yes, when we first saw the fire yesterday because we thought it was coming toward our house.

we were just shaking, petrified because we have a lot of animals in our house as well. we thought, we got to evacuate as well. what are we going to do with the horse? two horses, a sheep, dogs. we were very frightened. with the hot weather set to continue, spain remains on high alert. bethany bell, bbc news, malaga. since filing her report, ask a respondent has this update. if you can see on the hills behind maine, there is smoke from fires which keep speaking out on the hills here. we have been told that around 3000 people also have been evacuated from their homes in this area which is just outside of malaga about ten minutes drive from the beaches, the tourist area of torremolinos, and this area in particular is more residential and people are told in certain areas to leave their homes because of the danger of the fires.

yesterday, we saw a lot of firefighting aircraft. helicopters would look huge buckets of water, circling the hills, trying to put out the flames. but it has been so hot and the land is so dry, it is a real challenge for the emergency services here, and the temperatures here in malaga not quite as high as they are in other parts of spain because it is close to the sea, but it is still very hot. bethany bell reporting from malaga. here in the uk, and amberwarning reporting from malaga. here in the uk, and amber warning of extreme heat is come into force across most of england. into wales, the alerts will extend to the whole of wales, and tomorrow there will be a red morning meaning there is a risk to life coming into force in england. tim moffat reports.

applause. there are thrills to be had but dangers to be aware of. this grassfire near mansfield — just one reminder that for all of the joys hot weather can bring. temperatures this high can have a sting in their tail. at the peace gardens in sheffield city centre yesterday, as the sun beat down, thoughts turned to the days ahead. we're a little bit anxious about it, . we've got two big dogs, trying to make sure we've got loads of fans, looking into how people in other countries cope with it. we've got blackout curtains, we've got air con, so it's cost quite a bit of money. the hot days doesn't worry me but it's the climate change that it reflects that really worries me. the next few days could see temperature records broken. there's a reminder — keep cool but be sensible. this footage is believed to have been filmed this week, apparently showing people jumping off london's tower bridge. if you see some water — the river thames, a canal, a waterway — don't be tempted to bejump in. you can get cold water shock

but also it's quite dangerous. there are some tiktok trends or some things on social media where people are egging each other on or showing off orjumping off bridges and whatever. don't do it. the uk health security agency believes a far more moderate heatwave last summer led to 1600 excess deaths, so older people in particular are being urged to avoid the sunshine over the next few days. on a visit to the east of england ambulance trust, the new health secretary steve barclay insisted the health service is prepared. each ambulance trust has well—developed contingency plans for extreme weather, and we're also working with the hospitals to get the handovers from ambulances into hospitals, but also to ensure that, where people can be moved onto the wards themselves, we are using the full capability of the hospital rather than people waiting longer than they need to in ambulances outside. shade and sun cream should be

priorities over the coming days, as well as keeping an eye out for the elderly and vulnerable, and staying topped up with fluids. the most important thing is that people drink. of course, we always talk about what is best to drink and it is always best to drink water, but if, particularly safe for children or for the elderly, sometimes people may not like drinking water and therefore it is absolutely fine to have juice or tea and coffee, or anything, as long as it means that people are actually drinking. and you shouldn't feel thirsty. once you feel thirsty, that means you're already dehydrated. summer 2022 — a scorcher. possibly a record breaker. but as the temperatures go up, the advice is clear — take the heat seriously. tim muffett, bbc news.

it is not just it is notjust europe experiencing high temperatures and low rainfall is. here are pictures of the drought in syria. these dry expenses are what is left of a river in the north of the country. as well as one of the main water sources of a nearby city, but farmers now say there is no future for them. they blame climate change for the drought. 0ne climate change for the drought. one reason for the frequency and intensity of the severe heat wave sweeping europe is climate change, but there are also two high velocity streams of air cooled to double jet streams of air cooled to double jet stream hovering over the rest of europe, which is making things worse, which mark labelle explains. look how close it is getting to

residents here, forcing hundreds to leave their homes. pet in france owners look on in horror. full is to stay at evacuation centres for days, unable to rescue their companions stuck at home. all because of an unusually dry hot spring, combined with extreme temperatures due to climate change, causing summer wildfires and heatwaves. portugal set a july record at 47 celsius. and meteorologists forecast a 40% chance of a new uk record, i have a0 celsius in parts of england. this is the aftermath of a wildfire in croatia this week. but why in europe, and why now? experts point to the presence of a double jet stream. to the presence of a double 'et stream. ., stream. one in the extreme north in the shetlands _ stream. one in the extreme north in the shetlands in _ stream. one in the extreme north in the shetlands in norway _ stream. one in the extreme north in the shetlands in norway and - stream. one in the extreme north in the shetlands in norway and one - stream. one in the extreme north in the shetlands in norway and one in. the shetlands in norway and one in the shetlands in norway and one in the south, in portugal. and that

really helps to trap the heat, and that causes an amplification of the already heated climate that we are more than one celsius higher than we should be, and what this is causing is ourfurnace, if should be, and what this is causing is our furnace, if you will, over western europe.— is our furnace, if you will, over western europe. despite all this, efforts to tackle _ western europe. despite all this, efforts to tackle climate - western europe. despite all this, efforts to tackle climate change l efforts to tackle climate change took a back—seat this week. while the leader of the world's biggest karman and bitter historic —— carbon emitter historically, met the worlds biggest oil producer, back home, his position seemed to collapse in congress on friday, placing his net zero ambitions in peril.— zero ambitions in peril. there are still things _ zero ambitions in peril. there are still things which _ zero ambitions in peril. there are still things which the _ still things which the administration can do on which it says— administration can do on which it says it _ administration can do on which it says it is — administration can do on which it says it is going to do, cutting emissions _ says it is going to do, cutting emissions from vehicles and other moves, _ emissions from vehicles and other moves, but — emissions from vehicles and other moves, but it is undeniably a difficult — moves, but it is undeniably a difficult time for climate policy in the us _

runner, though he has not officially confirmed his candidature. whereas many other leaders are also planning to run. so, sri lanka needs a stable government so that they can negotiate with imf and other characters to solve this political and economic crisis. find characters to solve this political and economic crisis.— characters to solve this political and economic crisis. and it needs that stable _ and economic crisis. and it needs that stable government _ and economic crisis. and it needs that stable government because l and economic crisis. and it needs - that stable government because let's not forget the gravity of the situation on the ground there in sri lanka. we are hearing of long queues forfuel, some people are lanka. we are hearing of long queues for fuel, some people are waiting lanka. we are hearing of long queues forfuel, some people are waiting in line for ten days on mine. is there any development on that situation? the energy minister says they are now getting some shipments of petrol and diesel in the coming weeks, and he hopes that they may ease the situation. but even if they get it, that it's not going to satisfy the market demand. people have been waking waiting in the queue for days to get the fuel, but already they are at less than 50%. that is a major challenge for any new

facing a major issue. since the national assassination last year, the local currency has dropped more than 100%, and the economic situation is very bad. and today, the country is in a food crisis. gas crisis, and certainly fuel problems, and you can see where and how the population are struggling today. the latest there on the situation in haiti. let's get some of the day's other news now. two nigerian catholic priests have been kidnapped in the northern state of kaduna. in a full night of the press were abducted. armed gangs who kidnap people for ransom are widespread in the region. the capture of raphael

was down to a search dog who found him. the military trained blood and discovered the founder of the guadalajara cartel. let's return to the story and sri lanka. it may be drowning in economic and political uncertainty, but it seems that weeks of anti—government protests have brought sri lankans closer and back to unity among different faiths. reports from colombo. weekly visits to this temple where a ritual. not any more. the brothers dominated by their voter base... home to tamil, hindu and muslim minorities. and it
