5:02 pm
hello and good afternoon. an amber warning for extreme heat is now in force across most of england and parts of wales, as the uk braces for record temperatures in the coming days. the alert will extend to southern scotland from tomorrow, when the first red extreme heat warning — issued by the met office — will take effect in england, from london to manchester and york. a national emergency has been declared, with temperatures predicted to reach up to 41 degrees celsius. 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.
5:03 pm
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
5:04 pm
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. i spoke to stephanie berkeley the manager of farm safety foundation. well, yes, the thing about the industry is farmers are actually at the mercy of so many different things that are completely out of their control, the weather being one of them. so the race, we have seen wildfires spreading on the continent but actually come here, there is a major risk of fire,
5:05 pm
and fires can come from farm machinery as well that is being used all day and night at harvesting time. so they can also spread to crops and buildings. actually, there are 400 fires involving machinery and so far this year, that is two per day. the problem with that is that it costs £15 million so that is something else that adds to the stress and causes mental anguish for an industry that actually has the poorest safety record of any occupation. and the hot weather that we are seeing at the moment, the heatwave, the extreme temperatures, if you like, that are coming our way in the next few days, generally what else does it mean for farm workers and farmers around the country? well, we know farmers work outside all the time anyway so if they are working in extreme heat, in temperatures of 40 degrees, you know, we know they are more
5:06 pm
susceptible to skin cancer as a result of exposure to uv, so we need to let them know and to plead with them to look after themselves but also their livestock. animals can suffer from heat issues as well and that is the problem. we have got recently shorn sheep, we have got pigs and we know they get sunburned but actually, so do all other animals out there. so it is making sure that they are being looked after, and they are well ventilated and hydrated, just like us, and obviously, making sure that the farmer is looking after himself first and foremost because sometimes, they don't put themselves at the top of the chain, they put their land, livestock and machinery way above their own well—being. so what kind of precautions should they be taking which perhaps they are forgetting about at the moment? wearing sunscreen is such a huge issue, anything below spf 30 is no good for them.
5:07 pm
also especially at those times of the day when the uv rays are strongest, ”am until 3pm, possibly move around their day if they can do that, making sure the animals are well hydrated, making sure they are well hydrated, wearing a hat, really simple precautions that we are all taking as members of the public they need to be more aware that they are more susceptible at this stage. because the sun can have a long—term impact on farmers who are out there, all day, day after day, year after year? yes, and the problem is that actually, agriculture workers are number two in terms of occupations that are at high risk of skin cancer, the first being construction workers, as we can all imagine. but there are 23 deaths in the world of skin cancer in terms of their occupation are farmers. that is something that farmers have not taken seriously.
5:08 pm
farmers' tan, it is nojoke so they need to be aware of what they are doing, avoid alcohol, stay hydrated and covered up if at all possible and check your skin regularly like the rest of us. detectives recovering the body of a 16—year—old teenage boy in salford quays have reiterated their plea for people to be careful about getting into large bodies of water to cool off. emergency services were called to the scene in greater manchester on saturday evening following reports of someone getting into difficulty while out swimming with friends. meanwhile, in west yorkshire, police are continuing to search for a man who entered a reservoir last night. he was last seen getting into the ardsley reservoir between wakefield and leeds. wildfires are continuing to spread in southern europe
5:09 pm
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
5:10 pm
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.
5:11 pm
in south—western france, more than 14,000 people have been evacuated from the popular tourist region of la gironde. 0ur europe correspondent jessica parker reports. 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,
5:12 pm
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

5:21 pm
former chancellor is the frontrunner and that his support among mps are solid and likely to grow enough to guarantee him one of the spots in the final run—off that goes to the party membership over the summer. there is, though, really open fight at the moment for second place. i mean, a few days ago it looked like penny mordaunt, who did come second in the ballot last week, the most recent ballot that we had, had all the momentum. i think that is like a bit so she has a lot of work to do tonight to try to regain some of that energy that was behind her campaign a few days ago. liz truss who was in third place in the second round i think had a pretty poor debate. the consensus is, during the last television debate on friday, she needs a strong showing, i think, to reassure her backers in parliament that she is right person to go through to the run off and it is really a tough fight between tom and kenny are also in this. it is a surprisingly volatile race still
5:22 pm
setting a good performance can really set one of these candidates are light and might steal them a place in the final two. a bad performance could knock off somebody who, at the moment, looks like one of the frontrunner said this is, as i really volatile contest. just remind us of the process now. when we know the final two and what happens then and what is the timescale for the wider party election the leader? you timescale for the wider party election the leader? you have got to think of this — election the leader? you have got to think of this as _ election the leader? you have got to think of this as a _ election the leader? you have got to think of this as a contest _ election the leader? you have got to think of this as a contest of- election the leader? you have got to think of this as a contest of two - think of this as a contest of two halves. got the first half happening now, the process of tory mps. there will be a vote on monday, the third round of voting for the five we have now cut down before and then it will be three and then two and we will have the final two by wednesday. and then over the summer, those final two candidates will tour the country, going round conservative party association is trying to win over the membership. think back to
5:23 pm
2019 when there was a very crowded field, actually, the stage in the contest. it was not until the fifth round of voting that we had the two names. borisjohnson and round of voting that we had the two names. boris johnson and jeremy hunt. names. borisjohnson and jeremy hunt. in that round of voting, the fifth round, very remember rightly, jeremy hunt leapfrogged michael gove byjust jeremy hunt leapfrogged michael gove by just two votes. so the jeremy hunt leapfrogged michael gove byjust two votes. so the order that people are in the list, the list of preferences, can change right up until the last moment. that preferences, can change right up until the last moment.— preferences, can change right up until the last moment. that was ben, a olitical until the last moment. that was ben, a political correspondent. _ that was ben, a political correspondent. we can speak now to noa hoffman, political reporter from the sun, who will be following the debate closely. how important you think these tv debates are? can they make a difference? element they can be made or break. just after that was aired and a new poll today has come out from the conservative home website that has completely shifted were conservative members see candidates
5:24 pm
now versus before that debate. there is a two digit — now versus before that debate. there is a two digit lead. _ now versus before that debate. there is a two digit lead. before _ now versus before that debate. there is a two digit lead. before we - now versus before that debate. ties is a two digit lead. before we saw penny mordaunt, according to tory members, with every finalist in a two man and woman run—off. that has now changed to liz truss said these debates are absolutely crucial. the membership will be watching. tory mps, the current voter base will be watching in the public will be watching, too, and remembering this, the general election. but watching, too, and remembering this, the general election.— the general election. but of course, what is crucial _ the general election. but of course, what is crucial at _ the general election. but of course, what is crucial at this _ the general election. but of course, what is crucial at this stage, - the general election. but of course, what is crucial at this stage, still. what is crucial at this stage, still what is crucial at this stage, still what tory members of parliament think, because they are the initial selector if you like before it goes out to the wider tory party membership. what is your view of how they are seeing this phrase, and how do you see the final two shaping up? so my answer to that question was completely different a week ago, even three or two days ago. and at the moment there are mps who are very keen to see a right wing representatives in the final two.
5:25 pm
now there is a big battle over who that will be, liz truss was sort of the frontrunner in that mini sub race but after friday's debate, there was a groundswell of support from the membership and she is determined to go nowhere. rishi sunak still wants to take that establishment shot and so does penny mordaunt, they are going in as the by no means left wing but if we are speaking in terms of this contest, the more left leaning of the tory party candidates and there is all still to play for. tonight we're to see a lot of mps try to put their brexit credentials once again and penny mordaunt have to really hammer down what is going on with this self id story. she has been saying there are a lot of smears against in the media. that is categorically untrue. it is ourjob to scrutinise these candidates and whoever is pm is going to be facing a lot of scrutiny
5:26 pm
so you can expect more of that to come. ., ., , ., ., come. you mentioned penny mordant who a- ear come. you mentioned penny mordant who appear to — come. you mentioned penny mordant who appear to have _ come. you mentioned penny mordant who appear to have some _ come. you mentioned penny mordant who appear to have some momentum behind her. to think that is maybe tailoring off a little bit? i remember the tailoring off a little bit? i rememberthe fan tailoring off a little bit? i remember the fan base was really happy. her performance in the debate was not abysmal but it was not a great idea. she was not inspiring or energetic and on top of that we have questions over her claims that, in the referendum, she said that britain would not be able to veto turkey's membership of the eu and then also this issue of trans rights and whether medical professional should be less involved and whether the public can determine their gender on their own. so she is going to have to really perform well today to have to really perform well today to regain the momentum that she had so strongly before friday's debate. it is going to be fascinating to watch and see how events unfold in the next few days. you very much for taking us to your latest analysis.
