this is bbc news. the headlines at seven: parts of the uk roast in high temperatures, as the country braces itself for record breaking temperatures. thousands of firefighters deal with wildfires across europe — many people have died from the intense heat. police repeat warnings about cooling off in open water after the body of a 16—year—old boy is recovered from salford quays. the five tory leadership hopefuls will go head to head in their second tv debate this evening. a cargo plane carrying weapons has crashed in northern greece — killing all eight people on board.

hello and good evening. an amber warning for extreme heat is in force for most of england and parts of wales, ahead of record temperatures expected tomorrow. significant travel disruption is predicted, as roads and railways overheat, with the train companies avanti west coast, and london north eastern railway, cutting services. the amber alert applies to southern scotland from tomorrow, but the warning level will change to red for parts of england, meaning a risk of serious illness or death. temperatures could rise to as high as 41 degrees celsius, a record for the uk, beating the 38.7c set in cambridge, in 2019. our correspondent, jon donnison, has the latest.

trains between london's kings cross and just south of york and leeds on tuesday will be cancelled and other operators are saying only travel if strictly necessary on both monday and tuesday. and all this comes with climate scientists warning that, if temperature records are broken this week, they are unlikely to stand for long. globalwarming, week, they are unlikely to stand for long. global warming, they say, means heatwaves are getting more frequent and more intense. our health editor hugh pym told us how worried the nhs is about a potential influx of patients due to the heat: i think there are some ways and some quite stark warnings from nhs leaders today. one said the system would be really, really pushed in the worst affected areas over the next couple of days. the nhs providers which represents trusts in england, ambulance and hospital trusts and so on have said that, in some hospitals, there will be possible disruption to planned care,

thatis possible disruption to planned care, that is routine operations like hip and knee replacements. certainly not all hospitals but some are having to be delayed. and there have been reports had a few hospitals that operating theatres have been stood down because they could get too hot. staff, though, have been rostered on. extra staff, more call handlers have been put in place the next couple of days, according to nhs leaders. so what is the advice to people? well, we have had one minister saying give it all the likely travel disruption that we had aboutjohn�*s please, that this might be the day to work from home. tomorrow and tuesday, if that is at all possible. as well as that, people are being advised, they are indoors, to make sure that the temperature is as cool as possible. the kid curtains closed, they keep hydrated and drink plenty of fluids and out for people who are most vulnerable. our health editor. devising temperatures are the result of warm air moving up from southern

yesterday i would go out wearing the same close but were already at 1 degrees of warming and this is the sort impact we see so it is about that 1 sort impact we see so it is about that1 degrees here about is about the change the overall system and what you can see from the models is, if you get towards those and reach the temperature threshold you get these extremes of weather, particularly, the uk is a northerly country and were hit by these weather extremes in his warming climates which leads to these extreme weather events the likes of which we have heard about in portugal and spain and across europe as well. ~ ., portugal and spain and across europe as well. ~ . , ., , w as well. what should we be doing? i'm sure as well. what should we be doing? i'm sure you _ as well. what should we be doing? i'm sure you are — as well. what should we be doing? i'm sure you are assess _ as well. what should we be doing? i'm sure you are assess all- as well. what should we be doing? i'm sure you are assess all the i i'm sure you are assess all the time. should be and can we do to stop it getting any worse? the main thin is to stop it getting any worse? the main thing is to put— stop it getting any worse? the main thing is to put pressure _ stop it getting any worse? the main thing is to put pressure on - thing is to put pressure on governments. they held the big rivers here so we have seen a lot impact from things like the school strikes putting that pressure on leaders and we need to all be doing that much more consistently in holding governments to account and supporting them and they put in

inaction. if you look at what the speaker is going to cost is and what it costs in terms of people's lives and ability to engage with their jobs, different sectors of the economy this week, there are real costs to letting the climate worm like this and i think there is a focus on delaying things. we really need to see that been picked up by whoever takes over as the next prime minister. ., ~ whoever takes over as the next prime minister. ., ,, , ., , . ., minister. thank you very much for talkin: to minister. thank you very much for talking to us- _ how much of a problem is he'd like this? :: ., how much of a problem is he'd like this? i: ., ~:: , ., , ., ., this? 450 or 60 years we have not been designed _ this? 450 or 60 years we have not been designed for _

hard to outside and you open the windows, that is not going to help save the need to keep heat gain in homes down and equally, often people can live in areas where there are not many green spaces which can cause another inequality. thank you. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers — our guestsjoining me tonight are anne mcelvoy, senior editor at the economist and adam payne, political editor at politicshome. a second televised debate is under way between the five remaining candidates in contention to become conservative leader and the next prime minister. earlier tory mp penny mordaunt — who came second in the last round of voting — said the contest was being dragged down by "toxic politics". she claimed a number of smears had appeared against her in newspapers, but she wanted to focus, she said, on the issues that matter to voters. here's our political

correspondent, ben wright. as the five contenders fight it out, one of the would—be prime ministers, penny mordaunt, has claimed she is the victim of smears following claims about her views on transgender issues. like other candidates, her record in government is under scrutiny with some opponent saying she had wanted to make it easier for people to legally change their gender, claims she is strongly refuted. , , , , ., their gender, claims she is strongly refuted. , , i, ., ., . refuted. this is the type of toxic olitics refuted. this is the type of toxic politics people _ refuted. this is the type of toxic politics people want _ refuted. this is the type of toxic politics people want to - refuted. this is the type of toxic politics people want to get i refuted. this is the type of toxic politics people want to get away from. the poor british public got a month of as choosing their prime minister. the contest is tight and volatile. the five candidates left in the race are it out to make the final shortlist of two. this in the race are it out to make the final shortlist of two.— final shortlist of two. this list has shrunk — final shortlist of two. this list has shrunk in _ final shortlist of two. this list has shrunk in the _ final shortlist of two. this list has shrunk in the days - final shortlist of two. this list has shrunk in the days since i final shortlist of two. this list i has shrunk in the days since boris johnson announced his resignation and today, one supporter of liz questioned whether some of the candidates left were ready for the

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 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.

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. our 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—12 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, i 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. tributes have been paid to the former rugby league player ricky bibey, who's died at the age of 40, while on holiday in italy. he was reportedly found dead in his hotel room in florence yesterday morning, after staff alerted police. a 43—year—old woman, thought to be his partner, is being treated in hospital for serious injuries. the government has announced that all state—funded schools in england will have a defibrillator by summer 2023. many schools already have the devices but the government says it now aims to fund around 20,000 more kits. it follows a campaign by the parents of oliver king, who died when his heart stopped in a swimming lesson in 2011. his dad markjoined forces with football pundit jamie carragher to campaign for schools to have defibrillators. they both spoke to bbc breakfast: a monumental day for the foundation and everybody that has supported us from day one.

it is absolutely fantastic. emotional? very emotional. you know, we have worked hard and tirelessly and then jamie came on board. morning, mate, how are you? all good, man, delighted for you and the family, mate. and just pushed us along. jamie, what was it about oliver's story that made you feel like you had to play a role in all of this? well, it was obviously a really sad story but you know, as mark will tell you with the statistics, it is not the only child or person that we lose throughout this country with a lack of defibrillators and certainly in schools as well. so it was not just oliver's story. there's lots of stories up and down the country. but the real driving force of me getting involved was the enthusiasm of mark to change the legislation and use the sadness and pain of himself and his family that they have gone through and try

to use it in a positive way to help other kids in the future. as you know yourself, you have dealt with mark a few times, his enthusiasm is infectious and if he wants you involved in something helping, it is very difficult to say no. so i'm delighted for him and his family and the work that they have put in over those ten years, and also delighted for every family in this country who now has had their minds put at ease that if something unfortunate happens, like happened to mark's son oliver, in school, fingers crossed they are going to be ok because of the legislation that has gone through. now, many people love to visit cathedrals — whether it be to marvel at the skill of medieval stonemasons, orjust to enjoy a sense of peace. well, things are a bit different at peterborough cathedral at the moment. because it's been taken over — by dinosaurs. 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 in the south transept. 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 of its teeth, how it, like, munches and how it stomps 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 cathedral helps us see a bigger picture.

what does this tell us about our place in the world? i think it makes us think about our place as human beings in the created 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 these dinosaurs help us to 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. now it's time for a look at the weather with susan powell. exceptional heat is forecast for many parts of the uk in the days ahead. the met office has issued a red warning as it is anticipated the heat will cause problems with infrastructure and have impact on health. in the left—hand column the national records for temperatures. in the right, the forecast highs for monday and tuesday. where is the heat coming from? it has originated from spain and we've seen heat wave conditions in the past week and it is a southerly air stream that will
