our correspondent jon donnison reports. an amber heat warning for much of the country, so what better to do than limber up for a half marathon? runners in london's richmond park undeterred, with hydration the order of the day. stayed cool yesterday by drinking lots of water all day. we are wearing as little clothing today as possible. we've got a support group who's going to feed us water and sweets along the way as well. wearing a cap and putting sun cream on and, yeah, just staying hydrated. on bournemouth beach this weekend, they're expecting 100,000 visitors, with people here seemingly unconcerned about the extreme heat forecast in the coming days. i wouldn't say i'm worried, no. i'lljust make sure, because we'll be back in the harbour by then, so hopefully it'lljust be lots of shade to sit in. i am from romania and my country,

the summer is summer. 43, 47, now it's 37, so i'm ready! one of the hottest places this weekend has been sheffield, but temperatures could rise a further five degrees by tomorrow. a little bit anxious about it, to be honest. we've got two big dogs and trying to make sure... but we've made sure we've got loads of fans, looking at how people in other countries cope with it. so we've got blackout curtains, we've got aircon. so it's cost quite a bit of money. can i put a hat on you, my lovely? because the sun's very hot. doctors say the elderly and vulnerable need to take particular care, but the government insists the health service is prepared and this morning, the deputy prime minister rejected the idea of closing schools. i mean, look, we're coming to the end of the school term anyway but i think making sure young children get the education they need is really important — particularly after the pandemic. forecasters say this has already been the most sustained heatwave in 50 years and the worst

is still to come. jon donnison, bbc news. joining me now is dr david glew, head of energy efficiency at the leeds sustainability institute, at leeds beckett university. 0bviously, obviously, it is a very hot time for a lot of people and a lot of people feeling uncomfortable in their homes but you have got some tips about how to stay cool. but you have got some tips about how to stay cool-— to stay cool. yes, hi, there, a lot of peeple — to stay cool. yes, hi, there, a lot of peeple talk— to stay cool. yes, hi, there, a lot of people talk about _ to stay cool. yes, hi, there, a lot of people talk about cooling - to stay cool. yes, hi, there, a lot| of people talk about cooling down people, and what we do is we talk about cooling down the house and there is some really good advice you can do which a lot of us might think is obvious but a lot of us don't take the steps. so what we would really love to see people doing is using something called night cooling. this takes advantage of their natural cooling that you can get from your home itself. so opening the windows as sooner city's colder outside than it is inside,

doors and windows, if you can, with security concerns, cause. at overnight and early in the morning so it might mean you have to get up at five or six o'clock in the morning to do this, open everything up morning to do this, open everything up what that will do is cool down the bricks in your walls and that will have the effect over the day, when it gets warmer, that the bricks will absorb some of the heat for you so it will keep you nice and cool. remember, at the end, you have got to open the windows the following evening to purge the hot air again. it sounds slightly complicated and you have to know at what times to do this. ., �* , you have to know at what times to do this. . �* , . ., you have to know at what times to do this. . �*, _, , this. that's right, it could be something — this. that's right, it could be something like _ this. that's right, it could be something like the _ this. that's right, it could be something like the pollen i this. that's right, it could be i something like the pollen count this. that's right, it could be - something like the pollen count on the weather, everyone in this region, make sure you go and open your windows at this time, but the really important thing is to avoid the temptation to open them during the temptation to open them during the day when it gets hot, so there is a cut—off, and different people in different areas will have a different cut—off but for instance, where i am in north yorkshire, by about 9:30am this morning, i had

closed on my windows and doors and i'm sat at around 20 celsius and it is 27 outside. i i'm sat at around 20 celsius and it is 27 outside-— is 27 outside. i gather you have been telling — is 27 outside. i gather you have been telling us _ is 27 outside. i gather you have been telling us about _ is 27 outside. i gather you have been telling us about a - is 27 outside. i gather you have been telling us about a hot - is 27 outside. i gather you have | been telling us about a hot side is 27 outside. i gather you have - been telling us about a hot side and a cold side of the house or flat, explain a bit more, so that you learn a bit more about your home? that is right, it is quite obvious when you think about it, the sun comes up on one side and moves across to the other side and we often have different features in our homes, perhaps the kitchen and rooms when we are generating heat is on one side of the house and on the other side, one side of the house and on the otherside, it one side of the house and on the other side, it does not have that heat generation source. it is really normal, so learn about which side of your house is the hottest. if you can come if possible, try to ventilate both sides from the cold side outside, through to the hot side. it may be that you are next to, one side of your house backs onto potentially a garden with shade, with trees, perhaps some water features which keeps a little microclimate, keeps it cool, you can

get that air through the house and pump it out of the hot side where perhaps there is lots of gravel, concrete or tarmac heating up, and thatis concrete or tarmac heating up, and that is the best way to use the windows, but again, even with that, make sure you close your windows and doors as soon as it gets hotter outside than inside.— doors as soon as it gets hotter outside than inside. thank you very much indeed. _ outside than inside. thank you very much indeed, some _ outside than inside. thank you very much indeed, some very _ outside than inside. thank you very | much indeed, some very interesting tips and some things people won't have heard before. in terms of ways to stay cool in your home during this extreme hot weather. thank you forjoining us. some breaking news to bring you, greater manchester police have confirmed that the body of a teenage boy has been recovered from salford quays. the emergency services went to the scene after reports of somebody getting into difficulty, in the water, yesterday evening. the body is believed to be that of a 16—year—old boy, last seen struggling after swimming with friends. detectives are once again reminding people to enjoy the hot weather responsibly, and to avoid

being tempted to cool off in reservoirs, rivers, canals or ponds. that is just in from greater manchester police, confirming the body of a teenage boy has been recovered from salford quays. wildfires are continuing to spread in southern europe as the heatwave there intensifies. crete and croatia are the latest places where fires have broken out and more people have been ordered to evacuate their homes in france. in spain and portugal, more than 300 people are thought to have died from the heat. bethany bell reports from malaga in southern spain. almost 3,000 people have been evacuated from their homes. when we arrived there, a new fire had just broken out in the woods. helicopters keep circling this area, trying to put out the fires and you can see just how close they've got to the built—up areas. all of these villas along here have been evacuated because the fire is just too close for comfort.

0n the road, we met sharon, who's 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 anyone needs any help evacuating. especially the animals, a lot of animals get left behind. frightened, yes. when we first saw the fire yesterday because we thought it was coming to our house and we were just shaking, petrified, because we have a lot of animals in our house as well and we just thought, oh, no, we've got to evacuate them. what are we going to do with the horse? two horses, the sheep, dogs. we were very frightened. fires have also caused widespread destruction in south—western france, where more people have had to leave their homes because of the blazes. translation: it's an especially difficult summer. _ we are dealing with very considerable drought due to insufficient rainfalls over the winter and spring, an especially dry month of may and we now have particularly high

temperatures, as you can currently feel. with the hot weather set to continue, southern europe remains on high alert. bethany bell, bbc news, malaga. lets get more on the situation in southern france from our europe correspondentjessica parker. she's near the evacuated village of cazaux. the road there heads up to the village of cazaux which has been evacuated and residents are hanging around this area and at an evacuation centre nearby as well, hoping to get the chance to dash back into the village under escort in order to feed their animals that they left behind, for example. we've talked to people who want to get back and see that their cat is ok. but the situation, firefighters tell us, is pretty changeable at the moment. i mean, you can't see any smoke here right now. but yesterday, for example, when we were near the evacuation centre, one moment, the skies were clear,

the next, there were large plumes of smoke coming out in the distance. this morning, we've seen two canadair water bombers going across the sky, heading in towards the direction of the village. and this area is very popular with holiday—makers. and something that's happened is lots of campsites have had to be evacuated. so some people have been camping out in other areas after having to abandon that village or that area, staying in the evacuation centre as well. some are hoping to be able to get back into those campsites in order to retrieve their belongings. we spoke to a family earlier who'd had to abandon their caravan there, who are hoping to get back and retrieve that at some point. so a lot of people kind of hanging around here waiting for news. but as i say, what the firefighters tell us is that things are pretty changeable. and it's notjust this fire here, which is along this kind of popular stretch for holiday—makers, where there's forests and beaches as well.

but there's another blaze further inland in the area of landiras. and what we're told is that over 10,000 hectares of forest have been burnt through in the last week. so firefighters continuing to tackle those blazes. and there's concern as well because the temperatures here are pretty hot and they're set to get to around a0 degrees by tomorrow. here, penny mordaunt, one of the conservative mps hoping to be the next prime minister, has said that the leadership contest is being dragged down by "toxic politics". she said a number of smears against her had appeared in newspapers, but she wanted to focus on issues that matter to voters. it comes ahead of another tv debate between the five candidates this evening. 0ur political correspondent tony bonsignore reports. she may not be a household face — yet — but in less than two months, penny mordaunt could be our next prime minister. her rapid rise — she's now one

of the front runners to reach the final two — is unsettling some of her political opponents. they're questioning her views on transgender issues, claiming she's too woke to be party leader. but today, the former defence secretary hit back. we all know what's going on and as i say, this is the type of toxic politics that people want to get away from. the poor british public have a month of this to go. they've got a month of us choosing their prime minister. questions also remain over whether some of the five remaining candidates have the experience to lead the country — a point made this morning by a prominent backer of the foreign secretary, liz truss. we're not electing a leader of the conservative party that has two years to build their reputation. we are electing someone who will be prime minister on day one. so you need to know, when they had power and authority in government, what did they do with it?

what did they get, what did they achieve? what were their main beliefs? what did they drive through? for other candidates such as tom tugendhat, their relative lack of experience is part of their pitch. what i'm in this race for is to make sure that we get a clean start in the united kingdom. look, we've got to return to service. we've got to have the government returning to the service of the people, we've got to have the party return to the service of its members. what we really need now is we need a leader who has a vision for the united kingdom who's able to deliver on that vision. for all the candidates, the former chancellor rishi sunak is the man to beat, in this round of voting at least. but once the final two are decided by mps, by this wednesday, it will be up to party members to decide — a reason so many of them will be tuning in to tonight's debate. tony bonsignore, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... an amber warning for extreme heat has begun in england and parts of wales.

thousands of firefighters continue to battle wildfires across europe — many people have died from the intense heat. the five remaining candidates for british prime minister will battle it out in their second tv debate later. investigators in northern greece have warned people living near the site of a plane crash to stay indoors because of fears the aircraft was carrying toxic material. the flight, which came down on saturday, was transporting a cargo of weapons from serbia to bangladesh. 0ur balkans correspondent guy delauney has more. this is all that is left of the soviet—era cargo plane that crashed near kavala in eastern greece. it was going to make an emergency landing at the city's airport but it didn't make it that far. local people saw the antonov an—i2 on fire as it descended. then they heard a series of

explosions after it hit the ground. all eight crew on board died, and locals felt they had had a lucky escape. translation: i wonder how it did not fall on our houses, - because it came from over there. it was full of smoke. it had a noise i can't describe and went over the mountain. it passed the mountain and turned and crashed into the fields. there were flames. we were scared. a lot of cars came but they couldn't approach because there was continuous explosions. the clean—up has been complicated. emergency workers are concerned the plane was carrying hazardous materials, with firefighters saying they felt their lips burning as they worked at the crash site. translation: instability| in the field was observed. in other words, intense smoke and heat as well as a white substance that we don't recognise. a special armed forces team has to inform us of what it is and whether we can enter the field.

the plane took off from serbia. the country's defence minister said it was transporting a shipment of arms to bangladesh. he denied there was any connection with the war in ukraine, although he confirmed that the plane was operated by a ukrainian company. guy delauney, bbc news, ljubljana. a video's emerged on social media of a british man, thought to have been taken captive by pro—russian forces in eastern ukraine, appealing for help. john harding is understood to have been captured in may in the besieged city of mariupol. in the video, he urges borisjohnson to use any influence he has with president putin — otherwise, he says, he faces the death penalty. the head of britain's armed forces says russia has lost more than 30% of its land combat effectiveness since the war in ukraine began in february. speaking to sophie rayworth on bbc 0ne's sunday morning programme, admiral sir tony radakin estimates that 50,000 russian soldiers

had either died or been injured in the conflict. and he estimated that nearly 2,000 russian tanks had been destroyed, while nearly 4,000 other armoured fighting vehicles had been taken out of action. but admiral radakin said that moscow would remain a threat to world security for decades. the important piece for president zelensky, what do his own people want? and his own people are incredibly determined that they are going to fight back with russia, that they want to restore their territory. and the more that russia does these hideous acts of terrorism and attacks ukrainian civilians and commits war crimes that it's been doing, such as rape and attacking children, the more it strengthens the resolve of the ukrainian population that they're going to keep on fighting russia and restore their territory. and what our role is, is to support the ukrainian choice.

what about president putin? what about pressure on him? could he be toppled, regime change? so i think some of these... some of the comments that he's not well or that actually, surely somebody�*s going to to assassinate him or take him out, i think they're wishful thinking. for us as military professionals, we see a relatively stable regime in russia. we see that president putin has been able to quash any opposition. and then we see a hierarchy that is invested in president putin. and so nobody at the top has got the motivation to challenge president putin. and that is bleak. that's why the challenge of russia is going to endure way beyond 2022 and 2023 and 2024. this is going to go on for a long time. and what are you talking about in terms of longer term, decades? so potentially decades in terms of russia as a threat. we were clear about that in our big review last year. i think it's now been amplified

by russia's invasion into ukraine. and then you're seeing the response by the international community, whether that's the g7, you're seeing the military response with the nato summit. for some liverpool fans, the trip of a lifetime to the champions league final in paris in may turned out to be more of a nightmare. as well as being tear—gassed outside the ground, some were robbed and assaulted by local troublemakers. but amid the chaos, an act of kindness was caught on camera. this is the moment when steward brenda o'rourke hugged supporter anita gillen after she was caught up in the fiasco. now they've been reunited, as rogerjohnson reports. i think you two have met before. hello. i wanted to give you a hug. reunited in happier times. anita gillen was left in tears at the champions league final after the trauma of what she experienced at the stade de france.

and the tears flowed again at anfield. you were amazing that night and i can't thank you enough. anita's friends spotted this footage of her before she got home from paris and the nurse was determined to track her guardian angel down. that moment wasjust — it is a moment i will never, ever forget. because ijust needed somebody to — to give me some kindness, that brenda did. there was chaos going on around us and in the midst of the chaos, ijust saw anita, frozen with fear, and i hugged her to bring her back to the here and now. liverpool send stewards to every european away match, but rather than stewarding the game as they do at anfield, they are there to support and accompany the travelling fans. it was frustrating

for us as stewards, the pushback as well. anything we could do was to see in what way we could help and that was to help the people that were coming through the turnstiles, check they were 0k. and it isn'tjust the fact that you were both in paris together that connects you, because you are both nurses. i'm a mental health nurse. it is probably in our nature to be kind and empathetic and it's what the liverpool family does, isn't it? they look after each other. anita sits at the anfield road end during matches, which has been redeveloped. but it turns out that brenda is a senior steward there too, so for a new friendship forged farfrom home, this mayjust be the beginning. the former wales rugby captain, ryanjones, has revealed he's been diagnosed with early—onset dementia at the age of 41. jones won 75 caps for wales between 2004 and 2014, and also played in three tests for the british and irish lions. speaking in a newspaper

interview, he said he felt like his world was falling apart after the diagnosis. the russian invasion of ukraine has led to a severe shortage of cooking oil, particularly in europe, which gets 80% of its supply from ukraine and russia. now a brewery in germany has come up with a novel plan to make sure customers can still order the fried schnitzel they love. wendy urquhart reports. who would have thought that the best thing to take to the pub in germany would be a bottle of cooking oil? the war in ukraine has caused a severe lack of rapeseed and sunflower oil. supermarket shelves are empty, and several shops in munich alone have slapped a limit on the number of bottles people can buy. translation: getting oil is very difficult. - you can only get small quantities in the shops. if you need 30 litres a week and only get 15, at some point, you won't be

able to fry schnitzel. now the munich pub has come up with a novel way to make sure it has enough oil to cook tasty lunches and dinners. for the foreseeable future, it's offering people the chance to exchange one litre of oil for one litre of beer. 0ne customer bought a truckload of sunflower oil during a humanitarian aid trip to ukraine and was delighted to be able to swap them for a few cold beers. translation: i bought 80 litres of sunflower oil and in return - i got 80 litres of beer, or eight crates. i mixed it alla bit, a bit of wheat beer, a bit of light beer, a bit of shandy. i think it's cool because we get cheap beer and the brewery is also helped because there's an oil shortage in germany. a litre of beer costs around 7 euros in a german bar and a bottle of sunflower oil is just 4.5 euros,

so it's little wonder that customers are loving it. wendy urquhart, bbc news. now, do you like to visit cathedrals? plenty of people do — whether it's to marvel at the skill of medieval stonemasons, orjust to enjoy a sense of peace. well, it's a bit different at peterborough cathedral at the moment, because it's been taken over by dinosaurs. emma baugh reports. roaring. in the cathedral cloisters, creatures lurk. dark and dangerous, mean and menacing. prehistory made flesh, after roaming the earth millions of years in the past. these dinosaurs are bringing to life what it would've been like to actually see a real dinosaur, and an enormous effort has been made with these models to create very realistic movements.

and if you look very carefully, you can even see some of the models breathing. i think we're all very relieved when we got the big, static t—rex which is life—size into the building, because it was a very tight squeeze, even into such a large space. it's taken a week to bring the natural history museum epic exhibition into peterborough cathedral. the life—sized t—rex to its temporary home. for some lucky and brave children, a chance to see how dinosaurs really lived. how they look and how tall they are, and their personality. the ankylosaurus is my favourite because it looks really nice and all the spikes on its back. very cool, amazing and awesome. i think that it's really cool

because its teeth, how it, like, munches and it tries to eat all the bones and... and you're not worried you might get eaten, you're not scared? no. the dinosaurs�* arrival in the picture helps us see the bigger picture. what does this tell us about our place in the world? i think it makes us think about our place in the creative order. we only have one planet. we think about what our human species is doing to our planet. we think about the climate crisis that we are experiencing at the moment, and that these dinosaurs help us think about that in some sort of perspective. the dinosaurs have finally found a home grand enough to call their own, and a chance for visitors to see them up close and personal. emma baugh, bbc news.

a new picture of the duchess of cornwall has been released to celebrate her 75th birthday. it was taken by the photographer chris jackson at the duchess�*s home in wiltshire. earlier this month, she marked her birthday by guest—editing country life magazine. golf, and rory mcilroy and viktor hovland take a four—shot lead into the final round of the 150th 0pen championship. the ryder cup team—mates delighted the st andrews crowd during their third round, both shooting 6—under—par 66s to lead on 16—under. now it�*s time for a look at the weather with susan powell hello, exceptional heat to come for the uk in the days ahead, the potential for temperatures never recorded before. in response to this, the met office has issued a highest level red warning for the

likelihood of disruption due to the heat as it persists through the day and the night monday into tuesday. we certainly start on a warm footing for monday after a fine night. temperatures initiallyjust as the sun comes up we�*ll be in the mid to high teens. and then aside from some clout and patchy rain to the far north of scotland, we have got a day essentially of the sun beating down, adding to the heat, and a southerly air flow pulling adding to the heat, and a southerly airflow pulling up more warm air from the near continent. and then we reach that potential of up to 40 degrees somewhere in central and eastern england, 38 as far north as yorkshire however and across towards the welsh borders. tuesday could be hotter still across some eastern areas. it looks a little fresher towards the west but it will be increasingly humid as well. now on bbc news, panorama. the downfall of borisjohnson. my friends, in politics, no—one is remotely indispensable.

the world turned upside down. in a matter of days, borisjohnson�*s leadership fell apart. in the last few minutes, news that the health secretary sajid javid has just resigned. rishi sunak hasjust announced his resignation. five ministers resigning in one go. he was my boss, and if you haven't got confidence, you just should - be honest with them, as well as yourself. . some of us are still absolutely shell—shocked. i think it is very sad, but it's politics. i mean, it's a bit like in the godfather, when they do unspeakable things. a scandal too far... there was this feeling that this headache is just not going away! ..another story that didn�*t add up. in hindsight, it was the wrong thing to do. you can't lie your way through crises — you've got to tell the truth. i�*ve followed boris johnson�*s dizzying ups and his crashes down for nearly ten years. i thought i got through this interview already, folks! i mean, what�*s going on?

laughs. she keeps asking me questions!
