good morning, welcome to breakfast with me, jon kay, in cambridge, and nina warhurst in the studio — as millions of people are braced for the uk's highest—ever temperature. a red alert for extreme heat is now in place for the next two days — parts of england could hit 41 degrees celsius today, which would be a new record. the heatwave is being treated as a national emergency — health officials are urging people to take extra care, and there are warnings of significant disruption to the roads and railways.

and it's not just and it's notjust the uk temperature record that is likely to topple today and tomorrow. we are also looking at individual records for scotland, england and wales all being broken, and if anything tomorrow looks like it will be a bit hotter than today. i will have all the details throughout the programme. good morning. farms across the country, like this one in suffolk, are already dealing with a very dry first half of the year, as you can see from the reservoir levels behind me. now comes the heatwave. i will be looking at the effect it is having on the food they produce that we all rely on. also on breakfast this morning, one of the conservative mps vying to be party leader will be knocked out of the running today, when the latest round of voting takes place. in sport, how rory mcilroy let it slip away on the final day at st andrews, as cameron smith pockets a cool £2 million winner's cheque for winning the open.

good morning. welcome to cambridge where the sun is rising, the skies are blue and on the face of it a beautiful summer morning. but don't beautiful summer morning. but don't be fooled because over the course of the next few hours and over the next couple of days we could see temperatures in the uk the likes of which we have never, ever seen before. we are in cambridge this morning because three years ago, thatis morning because three years ago, that is when the current uk temperature record was set. back thenit temperature record was set. back then it was 38.7 degrees celsius. todayit then it was 38.7 degrees celsius. today it could get up to a0 celsius. we're not talking a bit higher, we are talking about smashing records potentially. maybe even ai. that is well over 100 fahrenheit. potentially. maybe even a1. that is well over 100 fahrenheit. 0n potentially. maybe even a1. that is well over 100 fahrenheit. on an individual basis that will cause all kinds of problems with the way we live our lives over the next couple of days, but as a country, how will

we deal with this? how is our infrastructure going to cope? what about schools and businesses, farming and of course the national health service are? our road network, railway network. we will try to get into all of this this morning. we will try to find out what we can all do to help ourselves and help one another. carol of course will be on hand with the latest weather data and we will speak to her in a couple of minutes. let's put it all together, see where we are on this potentially historic couple of days. our environment correspondent has the very latest. it might be a very busy next few days for the fire service in oxford. this weekend we've already had a couple of incidents where people have got into trouble in the water, and we've had to come and rescue them. so my message would be, please, please stay out of the water. stay out of open water. it is hugely, hugely dangerous. extremely hot weather, sadly, means more people dying. take last year, for example — the government estimates there were 1,600 excess deaths

caused by the heat. and last year wasn't even particularly hot — the top temperature was 32.2 degrees. over the next couple of days, it could be eight degrees hotter than that. the message for those in areas where a red warning is in place is that it can't be business as usual. the weather heading this way from southern europe is so hot that people should think about changing their routines and plans. to make sure that they have access to water, that they drink plenty of water, that they stay in the shade, that they remain cool, and that they take simple precautions to make sure that they avoid the adverse impact on health that these high temperatures can have. the government has asked us to look out for vulnerable relatives and neighbours, and has increased capacity on the call—handling

service for ambulances. i would encourage people to heed the warnings that are out there. we have that balance where we might not see very much good weather and we want to enjoy it, but it's... we're talking about temperatures that we've not experienced in this country — ever, never mind for a long time. 0ur bodies, our houses, our culture, our way of life arejust not geared up for it. but we're going to have to get used to it. the greenhouse gases we put into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels trap the sun's energy and warm the earth at a rate of about a quarter of a degree every ten years. well, heatwaves is one of the clearest signs in extreme weather of human influence on climate. it's one of the extreme weather events that we can be most confident about are being affected by rising global temperatures. so is it too late for us to turn this around? it's absolutely not too late because future warming is determined by future emissions. if we stop dumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere,

the world will stop warming. it's that simple. but rapid action on emissions has not proved simple. will the soaring temperatures outside make fighting climate change a real priority? jonah fisher, bbc news. let's get some information that you need because it will change a lot and will keep across the data. in terms of water, because that will be a problem for some people, norfolk in east anglia there are some people, about 5005 people, currently without water. this was a problem that has affected the supply, burst water main near king's lynn. there is a bottled water hub in place to set up for anyone who needs it. when it comes back on line i am told it might look cloudy but should be ok, just let it settle and it will be

all right. there will be lots of warning in lots of places over the next couple of days. on the railways, again, we will talk a lot about travel over the next couple of days because we will try to get around the country. he will try to —— your face charges. the east coast main line will be completely closed tomorrow afternoon, when tomorrow could get even hotter than today. that will be from midday until 8pm tomorrow, just a skeleton service operating in the morning. conditions on other routes will change constantly. we know that the tracks could buckle in some places, they will be furiously painting the base of them white over the weekend to try to reflect some heat to keep things going. keep across the bbc website, wherever you can get information, because it could change rapidly and dramatically. milton keynes university hospital, i said we would look at the nhs today, in milton keynes they say routine outpatient appointments and surgery already not going ahead. today or

tomorrow. that is because patients having to travel in and staff having to travel in. the nhs, as we have recorded over the last couple of weeks, already struggling with covid and staff shortages and add into that the extra demand that will come over the next couple of days, particularly people with underlying health problems who will struggle to copein health problems who will struggle to cope in the kind of heat we will see. i promised you carol. we need her more than ever before possibly today because she has been looking at the latest data from the met office and working out where will be worst affected. she is also on the red sound. she is on a growth rate in london. there is a red sound and an amazonian other places. what do these different alerts actually mean? , ., . ., these different alerts actually mean? , ., ., ., , mean? first of all, the red one is the most severe _ mean? first of all, the red one is the most severe one, _ mean? first of all, the red one is - the most severe one, unprecedented.

the red alert has never, ever been issued by the met office before so that shows you first of all the seriousness of this. it is something to really consider. it covers a large area, it covers a large part of england and is valid today and tomorrow and it means basically take care, be aware. there is threat to life, for example. and also the amber warning that runs in tandem, that covers all of england and wales, southern parts of eastern scotland, as well. that is very similar. not as severe as red but it still means take this warning very seriously and, as you mentioned, it will have impact on health, impact on infrastructure. for example, with health, if you are vulnerable, you know someone who is vulnerable, do watch out for them. drink plenty of water, wear a hat, stay in the shade as much as you can, especially between 11am and 3pm when the

ultraviolet rays are at their strongest. if you have to be out, walk in the shade, carry an umbrella, wear a hat. keep hydrated. it is so important. don't leave people or animals are locked up in parked cars because obviously that could be fatal. for the infrastructure, you mentioned railways. you find when you have this kind of heat, we have never had it before, bear in mind, that rail tracks will swell. rail lines, trains travel much more slowly on them so that will impact timetables. there is a lot that is riding on these warnings that the met office have put out, the red and amber warnings. we have put out, the red and amber warninus. ~ ., ., ., warnings. we will hear from some of our correspondence _ warnings. we will hear from some of our correspondence elsewhere - warnings. we will hear from some of our correspondence elsewhere in - our correspondence elsewhere in europe later in the programme because it seems like this heat is coming from southern europe. that's riuht. coming from southern europe. that's riht. it coming from southern europe. that's riuht. it is coming from southern europe. that's right. it is coming _ coming from southern europe. that's right. it is coming from _ coming from southern europe. that's right. it is coming from north - right. it is coming from north africa, so it is encompassing southern europe and you will have seenin southern europe and you will have seen in the news recently all the

pictures of the wildfires. extreme heatin pictures of the wildfires. extreme heat in spain and portugal and france and now our wind direction is coming up from the south so it is pulling up this heat in doing so so our temperatures were rocket through the course of today. it is notjust today. today we could see a0 degrees, somewhere in east anglia, the midlands and the london area, but tonight, because this heat will be in place, the temperatures will not fall away too much. that means that tonight will be hot and that, too, can be dangerous because there is no respite for your body to cool down. so tomorrow we start off with higher temperatures and this heat continues to travel further northwards so the temperatures tomorrow, as a result, could also be higher, particularly around the east midlands, east anglia, eastern england, the vale of york, that kind of area. for england, the vale of york, that kind of area. ., ., ., ~ england, the vale of york, that kind of area. ., ., . ~' i., england, the vale of york, that kind of area. ., ., ., ~ ., ., of area. for now, thank you, carol. we will check _ of area. for now, thank you, carol. we will check in _ of area. for now, thank you, carol. we will check in with _ of area. for now, thank you, carol. we will check in with you _ of area. for now, thank you, carol. | we will check in with you throughout the programme this morning because carol will have everything you to

know, everything we all need to know. the sun is coming up as we speak to you. it is lovely for now but it will get much, much hotter. carol, thank you. talking about how uncomfortable it will be at night. if you are in a house or a flat that is one thing. imagine if you are spending tonight in a tent. imagine if you have already spent the weekend in a tent. lots of people enjoying camping for the summer holidays. fi lamdin's at a campsite on exmoor, in somerset. she can tell us how they are coping. fi, are they happy campers? the? she can tell us how they are coping. fi, are they happy campers? they are still asleep so — fi, are they happy campers? they are still asleep so they _ fi, are they happy campers? they are still asleep so they must _ fi, are they happy campers? they are still asleep so they must be _ fi, are they happy campers? they are still asleep so they must be pretty - still asleep so they must be pretty happy! the campers behind me, we are in the heart of exmoor, they are still asleep because the sun has not come up and hit their tent yet. 0nce come up and hit their tent yet. once it does, i am sure they will be up and about and when they do get up and about and when they do get up and ivory hot, they can have a swim. there is a river through the campsite behind those bushes. they have got somewhere to cool off in the river ex. but what do you do if

you are in the city, is and you don't have somewhere to cool off stew mac i have been in bristol to find out how people there are keeping cool. straw hats, beach bars and golden sand. but underneath all this is the pavement — as we're actually in bristol city centre. the only drawback? there's nowhere to swim. and for six—year—old eliza — already in her costume — this was a real problem. how are you feeling? you look very hot. sad! so do you want to go swimming? 0nly boats are allowed in this harbour. we're doing 0k, we found some shade, so we're pretty happy now. and temperatures are only expected to climb. anna's decided to keep her six—year—old off school. so her school luckily have said we can take the day off if we want to. so we're planning to keep her at home and find some water and go and keep cool somewhere, rather than send her in. but others don't have that option. cameron and harry's school is fully open. yeah, i think most of the kids

are hoping they cancel it, but they've still got to go to school. it'sjust quite tricky to focus due to the weather. well, because we've got our pe kits on, it'll be a bit better, _ but that's really the only thing that's going to change, - so it's not good. but spare a thought for those like jamie, working outside in the sun all day. i work on a roof and we're starting at 6:00 and finishing at 2:00 instead of starting at 8:00 and finishing at a:00. so... but it will still be so hot on that roof. yeah, it is, yeah. hopefully i'll have plenty of breaks. for others, business is booming in this heat. joseph runs a bar. brings people out, cos everyone's come out, enjoy the sun, have a glass of cold drink. so, yeah, it's good for business, especially when you're outdoors. even if he's having to work really hard at keeping the beer cold. someone else pouring drinks is steve. it's easy for me to get a drink, but the homeless obviously don't get

the chance to just go up to a tap and fill up a drink. so he spent the entire afternoon giving them water. ijust pour a cup, but as soon as i see him down a cup, i give him the whole bowl. because you've got to think, you know, he's stuck out here. you look after yourself, yeah? as england's alert rises to red for the first time, a national emergency has been declared. well, we are with oliver, who has had this campsite, this farm, for the last five generations. have you ever seen it as one as it will get? never come at all.— ever seen it as one as it will get? never come at all. what was it like at the weekend? _ never come at all. what was it like at the weekend? a _ never come at all. what was it like at the weekend? a couple - never come at all. what was it like at the weekend? a couple of- never come at all. what was it like i at the weekend? a couple of campers are still here. we at the weekend? a couple of campers are still here-— are still here. we had a few people ofthe are still here. we had a few people of the weekend, _ are still here. we had a few people of the weekend, families, - are still here. we had a few people of the weekend, families, but - are still here. we had a few people of the weekend, families, but of. of the weekend, families, but of course _ of the weekend, families, but of course it— of the weekend, families, but of course it is— of the weekend, families, but of course it is a school so they have had to _ course it is a school so they have had to go — course it is a school so they have had to go home because the school holidays _ had to go home because the school holidays have not started. how had to go home because the school holidays have not started.— holidays have not started. how do --eole holidays have not started. how do peeple keep _ holidays have not started. how do peeple keep cool _ holidays have not started. how do people keep cool here, _ holidays have not started. how do people keep cool here, what - holidays have not started. how do people keep cool here, what do i holidays have not started. how do i people keep cool here, what do you do to make sure people are safe? we have plenty of trees are learned, plenty _ have plenty of trees are learned, plenty of — have plenty of trees are learned, plenty of shade so they can come

england. in southern europe, the heatwave has created ideal conditions for wildfires to spread — prompting mass evacuations of residents and tourists. we have seen some terrible pictures. france evacuated more than 1a,000 people in the south—west, while fires also spread in spain, croatia and greece. authorities in portugal say its fires are contained for now but 659 people — most of them elderly — have died from the heat over the past week. that is just in portugal. is this hot weather approaches, how worried should we be? how will it challenge us in the next couple of days? joining me now is professor richard betts, who is a climate scientist with the met office. thank you for coming out. you have your bottle of water, you are prepared. living the message. 0ur inbox has quite a few messages from people saying it is the summer, it

their closest rivals jockeying to break from the pack. a chance to dazzle for the outside bets. the race to be tory leader and the next prime minister remains wide open, and that's why the fight is getting fierce. rishi, you have raised taxes to the highest level in 70 years. that is not going to drive economic growth. you raised national insurance, even though people like me opposed it in cabinet at the time. i'd love to stand here and say, "look, i'll cut this tax, that tax and another tax, and it will all be ok." but you know what? it won't. there's a cost to these things. that's the current foreign secretary attacking the man who was chancellor until a few days ago — a glimpse of what was to come. tax plans again dominated the argument about the cost—of—living crisis. where we really need - to concentrate is on growth, and under your tax trajectory. that is going to be much harder. you're genuinely proposing that we borrow to fund our day—to—day spending, putting those bills

on a credit card. literally — jeremy corbyn didn't think that that was the right approach! 0k, i'mjust... there are lots of tax and spending promises flying around this contest, and there was an appeal for candour from some of the candidates. while i was working at the treasury it was always a choice between difficult option a, terrible option b, mad option c, and we need to be honest with the public about how difficult things are. i'm finding it very difficult to understand who's disowning and who's defending the record of the last few years that they've been in government. it's pretty confusing to me, anyway. they were then asked about the reputation of the man they are seeking to replace in number ten. they are seeking to replace in number 10. would you have borisjohnson i in your cabinet if you were pm? if borisjohnson was watching this, he would have seen serving cabinet colleagues and tory mps vow to make a break with his premiership. keir starmer in two years' time is going to hold that record against us, and we need to make sure we're winning conservative seats across the country. and even really good people lent credibility to the chaos. serving in government is not easy — it requires taking difficult decisions. tom has never done that. it's very easy for him to criticise

what we've been doing. but we have been out there on the front line, making the case... sorry, kemi, i have been on the front line. and then the five candidates were asked to put a question to each other, and the mudslinging got even messier. when we both worked in the treasury, myself and other ministers raised the issues of covid loan fraud, and you dismissed us and it has cost taxpayers £17 billion. why didn't you take us seriously? in your past, you've been both- a liberal democrat and a remainer — i'm just wondering which one you regretted most. - the reason i am a conservative is i saw kids at my school being let down, in leeds. i saw the not get the opportunities, not get the proper educational standards that you might have got at your school, rishi. penny mordaunt�*s rival scoffed at her claim the polls showed she was the only one that could beat labour, and tried to rise above the brawl. people want a break with the toxic politics of the past. they want us to be putting forward positive ideas, they want us to be valuing colleagues, and i really hope...

the poor... the poor viewers have a month of this to come, and i hope we can have, actually, a better contest in the coming weeks. 0k, thank you very much. but, based on this debate, that hope seems unlikely. rishi sunak drew the most fire in this brutal blue—on—blue debate, as front—runners do, while liz truss and penny mordaunt probably cemented their status as his main challengers. this week, tory mps will continue to eliminate contenders until there are just two left. and then it's up to conservative party members to pick our next prime minister. ben wright, bbc news, westminster. the prospect of being sent to rwanda is not deterring asylum seekers from crossing the channel in small boats. that's according to the home affairs select committee, which says the rwanda plan — announced three months ago — is not a "silver—bullet solution". our home affairs correspondent, june kelly, reports. last year, 28,500 people came to the uk in small boats. so far this year,

1a,000 have arrived — and by the end of 2022 the figure could rocket to 60,000. the mps believe migrants aren't deterred by the fact that the uk may not be the end of theirjourney, and they could be sent on to rwanda. we are questioning the deterrent effect, and we've certainly asked the home office to provide evidence and modelling of how they've reached the conclusion that this policy is the right way to go. it hasn't been forthcoming. we're also concerned about the cost of it. in northern france, migrants plan how they're going to get across the channel, seeing it as the final short leg of their long journeys. the uk should seek a deal with the french, say the mp5, which would allow processing facilities to be set up so that people can be assessed here as to whether they are eligible to be admitted to the uk. they believe that those given permission would then not have to pay the criminal gangs. in response to the mps' report, the home office says its new plan

for immigration will support those in genuine need, while preventing illegal and dangerous journeys. and it says those who are put on a plane to rwanda can rebuild their lives there. the first planned flight was stopped last month by the european court of human rights. june kelly, bbc news. a report into the uvalde school shooting in texas — in which 19 children and two teachers were killed — has found systemic failures and poor decision—making by those involved in the response. the committee of state legislators said there was a "lackadaisical approach" by authorities at the scene. nearly a00 officers rushed to the site but police waited more than an hour to confront the attacker. the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelensky, has fired two of his top staff over claims that some members of their departments were collaborating with russia. a number of people are being investigated for treason. at a news conference the president accused more than 60 employees of the prosecutor's office of working against the state of ukraine.

and here's some showbiz news which may sound like it's 20 years old — but it's actually hot off the press. jenny from the block has become mrs affleck. two decades after they first dated — and 17 years after they split up the first time — jennifer lopez and ben affleck have tied the knot. the couple — dubbed "bennifer" — stood in line for their licence with four other couples at the famous little white wedding chapel in las vegas. gorgeous. congratulations to them. before we get the news where you are, let's see how it's looking in london this morning. the sun is coming up over central london, as carol was saying it will be particularly one down there. all the usual advice, hats on, stay out of the sun in the middle of the day. back to 50 on if you can. drink

plenty of water. hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. we would love any tips you have this morning on how you are keeping cool, e—mail us, twitter, get in touch and share your pictures. let's get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london. transport for london is advising customers to only travel if essential today and tomorrow, due to the high temperatures being forecast. temporary speed restrictions on parts of the network are in place which will mean a reduced service with delays possible. it comes are the capital expects very high temperatures with towns and cities usually being a few degrees warmer than rural areas because of the types of building materials used. over 80% of us live in towns and cities. that means that we're exposed to this extra... this extra heat.

and it can be as much as about 10 degrees difference between temperature in a city centre and a rural area for a large city. meanwhile, a water company has urged customers to avoid all non—essential water use. affinity water said "urgent action" was needed in areas of essex and hertfordshire to "conserve reservoir supplies for everyone" but added it was "working around the clock to maintain supplies." some areas of buckinghamshire, surrey and north london are also affected. so how is this heatwave affecting you? do get in touch on our e—mail: hellobbclondon@bbc.co.uk. police investigating the disappearence of a woman in east london have discovered a body. 21—year—old hina bashir was reported missing from ilford. her family are being supported by specialist officers. the body was found in havering in the early hours of sunday morning, and a 36—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

let's get a check on the travel situation. quite a few problems at the moment. there are already severe delays on the district line, the hammersmith and city line is part suspeneded as is london 0vergound. no service romford to upminster and willesdenjunction to richmond due to heat—related restrictions. now the weather with kate. good morning. the temperature has been rising through the weekend, and today it is set to get much hotter. the met office has a red weather warning in place for extreme heat. now, the area we are likely to see the hottest temperatures today are shown here within the red warning zone. there is an amber warning across the south—east, so everywhere is going to get hot temperatures. lots of sunshine today and temperatures getting up to potentially a0 celsius. one or two spots may be a1. outside of the red zone, mid to high 30s. now it is going to be quite a hot and uncomfortable night as well. it's dry and it's clear.

not a lot of sleeping, i would imagine, as the minimum temperature in central london not dropping much below 23 celsius. for tuesday, similar conditions, similar temperatures but we will start to feel the influence of this front, which is heading in towards the evening. but, during the daytime, we have lots of sunshine and the temperature again in the high 30s. it will be a little bit further north tomorrow, where we could see a0 celsius. you will see this band of cloud and rain heading towards us in the evening. some showers potentially and temperatures still quite warm overnight but it does bring some relief. the temperature dropping significantly but it is still hot on wednesday and thursday. hello, good morning. thank you for joining us here on breakfast on what could be a record—breaking hot day in the uk. we are live in cambridge

this morning. cambridge currently holds the record for the hottest ever temperature in the uk, 38.7 degrees. today the temperature could get young a0 degrees, possibly as high as a1 celsius. we had never seen anything like that before. this kind of temperature is rather lovely, the perfect time to go for a walk and get some fresh air. watch breakfast, of course. it is absolutely lovely here on the banks of the river cam, a gorgeous start to the week. the met office says the heat we are going to expect could be fatal, especially for people with underlying health conditions. let's talk about the risks and what we can do to help ourselves. thank you for coming out bright and early for that quite a good time to be out. it is cuite quite a good time to be out. it is

quite pleasant. _ quite a good time to be out. it is quite pleasant. we _ quite a good time to be out. it is quite pleasant. we hear- quite a good time to be out. it is quite pleasant. we hear about i quite a good time to be out. it is. quite pleasant. we hear about the extreme warnings, _ quite pleasant. we hear about the extreme warnings, extreme i quite pleasant. we hear about the l extreme warnings, extreme danger quite pleasant. we hear about the i extreme warnings, extreme danger to our health, why is it so dangerous? a temperature predicted to be a0 is a good 10 degrees above what we are used to. our body likes to maintain a temperature between 36 and 37 degrees to be healthy, to be ok. if we get really hot we can get heat exhaustion, which leads to heatstroke, which is when our bodies fail to keep at their temperature and goes beyond 38 degrees, not because of a virus but because we have had too much sunshine. you are at risk of this and other risks of the heat. your body starts to vasodilator, he goes off your body to cool you down and it brings your blood pressure down. if you are dehydrated as well, it is also adding to the lower blood pressure because you have less blood circulating around the body. if you

are dehydrated and you are vasodilator income it affects the blood supply to your vital organs, your kidney can make your heart can make your brain. in extreme circumstances you can increase your chance of kidney failure, heart attack and stroke. that is what the government means when it says the heat is a risk to life. there have been comments on social media is saying, chill out, it is a nice, summer day. this is very hot, more than that. it summer day. this is very hot, more than that. . ., summer day. this is very hot, more than that. _, ., , than that. it could potentially affect everyone _ than that. it could potentially affect everyone of _ than that. it could potentially affect everyone of which i than that. it could potentially i affect everyone of which groups of people are potentially at risk? there's more at risk of pregnant people, young babies and the elderly. pregnant people, the issue is in the later stages of pregnancy, you normally have a low blood pressure anyway. if you are going to exposure sales to extreme heat today and your blood pressure is going down because of the heat and it is

already low, you're going to be more at risk of fainting. stay inside, keeping a cool, keep hydrated with cold drinks. with babies, the issue is a struggle to regulate their temperature anyway. they do not sweat and cannot remove their own clothing. they are reliant on parents and carers to maintain body heat. children love running around with being excited and active. making sure they are not as active as usual. have a relaxing day, do not go out. it is not the day. they if you are a young person who likes to go out and top up their town. for the elderly, multiple issues. people might struggle to know what to wear, especially if they are living alone, may not even be aware it is so hot. to keep an eye on vulnerable friends, relatives and neighbours. then there's people in hospital or

pair homes without air—conditioning and possibly going to be hotter than the rest of us. —— care homes. also people with underlying health conditions, like heart disease and kidney disease. the effects of lowering the blood pressure and affecting blood supply to vital organs, if your vital organs are already struggling, you are going to struggle more today. we already struggling, you are going to struggle more today.— struggle more today. we have been re ”ortin struggle more today. we have been reporting about _ struggle more today. we have been reporting about how _ struggle more today. we have been reporting about how the _ struggle more today. we have been reporting about how the nhs i struggle more today. we have been reporting about how the nhs has i struggle more today. we have been i reporting about how the nhs has been struggling with staff absences, already dealing with covid, and the backlog. how worried are you? itruiith backlog. how worried are you? with ambulances. — backlog. how worried are you? with ambulances, they _ backlog. how worried are you? t"! ambulances, they are waiting so backlog. how worried are you? try ambulances, they are waiting so long outside hospitals to off—load people. if more people are phoning an ambulance it will add to the risks. hopefully people will be sensible, do not get too exposed to the sun. the main thing is try not to get hot in the first place. not the day to practise for a marathon.

not the day to go for a long bike ride, not the date it up your tan. stay cool, wear light coloured loose clothing and keep hydrated. avoid alcohol and caffeine, they dehydrate you. try to drink drinks which have salting something like a sports drink or a rehydration solution is good. —— have salt in. there is a good. —— have salt in. there is a good way to know if you are dehydrated. your you're in should really be clear, almost colourless. if you are weighing less, less volume, less often and it is dark in colour, you are not drinking enough. great advice. thank you so much. you tell me you like to do some paddle boarding. tell me you like to do some paddle boardinu. , tell me you like to do some paddle

and keep an eye on the temperature of their engine. some councils in england have gritters on stand—by to spread sand — rather than salt — to reduce the chances of tarmac melting. that is the travel advice. i'm at euston hall farm in suffolk. east anglia produces more than £3 billion worth of crops and livestock every year, so getting water is vital to the farmers around the region. if you look at the reservoir behind me they are already grappling with a shortage of that and now, of course, comes the heatwave. for the first half of the year, east anglia has seen only two thirds of its usual level of rainfall, seeing just 185mm in that time. you can see the effects of that here

on the grass. look how dry and parched it all is! that makes the driest january tojune period since 1996, and the 11th driest since records began in 1836. as for every kilo of potatoes that are produced, 11 litres of water are needed. that is one example of how much extreme weather conditions are causing problems for farms like this one. we can get into more detail about the effects. let's speak now to andrew blenkiron, who is the estate director here we are seeing these high temperatures and low level of rainfall. what effects on you? we have lost a _ rainfall. what effects on you? we have lost a third of the yield potential, which will have a significant financial impact. the amount— significant financial impact. the amount of— significant financial impact. the amount of water we have had to pump to keep _ amount of water we have had to pump

lying around on the banks of the river. we hoped to talk to some punters today but there are punts only. let's get the all—important weather forecast now. carol's in central london. not too hot at the moment. if you are finding it stuffy in your house, opened their doors and windows now. you will not be able to keep them open for too long. as temperatures rocket up you will find you are letting the hot air in full to open them now, close them and close your curtains to keep the hot air out. in london it is currently 19 degrees, as it is in brighton. in gatwick, the temperature is 21. as you have had for the last few days temperatures will rocket. the met

office has an unprecedented warning, a red warning for extreme heat. this has never been issued before and it is likely to impact infrastructure and health. please take notice of this. it is covering a large chunk of england. at the same time there is also an amber warning in full sky that means impacts due to the severity of the weather are highly likely. that covers england, wales, said in scotland and parts of eastern scotland. this morning many of us are starting off on a dry and sunny note. there is cloud in the north and west and rein in the north of scotland. that will move away and it will be dry. it will be humid across scotland and northern ireland. there will be a dry heat across england and wales were temperatures getting up widely from the high 20s to the high 30s. locally somewhere in the south—east like london could hit lio degrees. that will be the first time ever in the uk we have reached that kind of

level. through the night the colours do not change that much. it will be hot and muggy tonight. again that has health implications. temperatures for some 22, 20 three degrees. with that heat to start the day it is only going to get hotter as we go through the day. we are pulling out this hot air on a southerly breeze coming up through africa, across siberia and france onto our shores. tomorrow could the temperature is iii, possibly a little bit more. the east midlands, east anglia, eastern parts of england, the vale of york for example. again a lot of dry weather. we will see whether france coming in from the west on tuesday bringing showery outbreaks of rain. more of us will have some rain, some of it potentially thundery. temperatures dipping back closer to average. our top temperature is likely to be 28

degrees on wednesday. just to give an idea of what the average temperatures are, in edinburgh we are looking at 19 degrees. further south we would be looking possibly up south we would be looking possibly up to about 28. they are vastly different. yesterday afternoon, the temperature was 29. it could be12, 13 degrees hotter than that again. even that was quite difficult to bear. wear a hat, you say. the boater goes on. i do not think it is bbc standard issue. it would do the job for now. let's talk about the sport. dr tamara was talking about the dangers of doing too much activity in this kind of weather. john joins us from

the studio. he has the latest on people having to do it because it is their living. not looking the part as much as you, looking fabulous, you really are. i will find you one. they are lying around all over the place. as things stand, all the fixtures are due to be played. we have england playing in the cricket. their series against south africa is due to go ahead. spare a thought for those in the tour de france. they were having to put up with a0 degrees temperatures yesterday. extreme conditions being felt by those competing across—the—board in sport. some pretty benign conditions on the final day of the open at st andrews. rory mcilroy, joint leader heading into the final round, unable to capitalise on the favourable weather. the man who did, the australian cameron smith, who produced a superb final round to claim his first major. as our sports correspondent

joe wilson reports. rory mcilroy knew before he'd struck a ball that st andrews expected — he expected. who'd challenge him? sure. he thought of viktor hovland. they began together four shots clear of the field. nearby, quietly practising his putting, an australian neighbour with that late—80s hair. mcilroy was steady. he saw off hovland and held the early lead. all this excitement, all this attention around rory mcilroy. of course he could sense it. but could he use it? the answer was no. this was mcilroy�*s round. opportunities that never quite made it. meanwhile, that australian cameron smith was holing everything. he made eight birdies, five in a row at one stage. he'd started the day on 12 under par, he finished it 20 under. it meant that mcilroy, just to force a play—off,

needed to hole this for an eagle on the 18th. another major chance had slipped by and the open had a champion in shock. what a week! i'm going to fall apart here, i know. all the hard work we've done for the last couple of years has really started to pay off. this one definitely makes it worth it. to win here, tojoin those names mean, yes, the open must hope that young golfers treasure this tradition. joe wilson, bbc news, st andrews. too much of an ask for rory mcilroy at the end. well, it was case of what might have been for dina asher—smith — the british sprinter emotional after her fourth—placed finish in the 100 metres at the world championships. a race won by shelly—ann fraser pryce who's been crowned the fastest woman on the planet for the fifth time, in what was a jamaican one, two, three.

andy swiss reports from eugene. another golden day for one of sport's most glittering stars. shelly—ann fraser—pryce yet again on top of the world. earlier, britain's hopes in the 100 metres had rested on dina asher—smith. nearest the camera, she got away well. butjamaica's trio had other ideas. elaine thompson—herah and shericka jackson pushed her all the way but fraser pryce was unstoppable. it's a fifth title, unbelievable! and so some 13 years after her first crown, the athlete known as the pocket rocket had done it again. fraser—pryce, a seemingly timeless talent, as jamaica took all three medals. once again it's joy forjamaica. yet another world title for shelly—ann fraser—pryce confirming her status as one of sprinting's all—time greats. for asher—smith, though, there was agony, finishing fourth. she equalled her british record but it was tough to take. it sucks. i'm... so close.

but, you know, we got the 200, which i'm definitely, definitely very fired up for. in the heptathlon, meanwhile, katarina johnson—thompson lies in sixth place after four events. she won't be world champion this time but after so many injuries she said she was just glad to be out there. andy swiss, bbc news, eugene. england came out on the wrong side of their series decider with india at old trafford, losing by five wickets. new captainjoss buttler top scored with 60 as his side were 259 all—out. in reply, india had rishabh pant to thank after his 125 not out saw them home with a7 balls to spare. england don't have long to wait for their next series to begin, they face south africa tomorrow. and the quarterfinal line—up for the women's euros will be completed tonight. the holders the netherlands are through after beating switzerland a—i at bramall lane. they'll take on france in the last eight on saturday. the final group games are played later, before the first quarter

final on wednesday. england to feature in that. it's sweden who win group c though. they thrashed portugal 5—0 in their final group match. stina blackstenius with their final goal. sweden will play the runners up in group d — they play their final matches tonight. belgium's jasper philipsen has won stage 15 of the tour de france, which was full of incident — including the yellow jersey leader going down. jonas vingegaard managed to pick himself up and maintain his overall lead. probably grateful for the break in the overwhelming heat. at the front, philipsen claimed victory with the finest of margins. britain's geraint thomas remains third in the overall standings behind tadej pogacar. a0 degrees they had to deal with yesterday. plenty of ice packs. much—needed water and hydration. a rest day for than today. the advice

is not to take part in marathon training, which i know you are desperate to do, give it a break today. in the last few years, we've become used to seeing footage from video cameras worn by police officers. but, from today, in a uk first, every frontline officer in west midlands police will be live streaming those body—cam images back to their control room, so the situation can be monitored in real time. our midlands correspondent phil mackie has been to see the new technology in action. response officers beth and darren have been called out on a fairly typicaljob. so we're just going to a third party report that his neighbour has been robbed and attacked by four to five white males. no other details as of yet. injury to the head. apparently he's been hit with a glass bottle. but when they arrive, there's a difference. both officers have switched on their cameras and are sending a live stream back to the control room. he got the bottle and raised it up.

smashed it across my head. yeah, i've seen some damage on your door. who's done that? them. they've done that as well, have they? do you want an ambulance? we'll take you to the hospital. this is the control room where it's all being monitored. so as you can see, we've got two cameras up — darren's and beth's — both live streaming at the moment. there's been a robbery. the victims also had a glass bottle hit, so he's been cut. so they're talking to him. and as you can see, ian can watch it. and if there were any need to send additional resources, they would be able to do that partly by watching the live stream. this will show me where all the cameras are. different, obviously colours. the green are currently live cameras. we've got 280 cameras out there. i can livestream you. there you go. you're in. so this is where it all happened on this front garden. this is some footage they've recorded during the trial. it shows how much this can help.

in this case, forensic officers viewing remotely the scene of a stabbing. ok, so it's all happened here, where you're looking. this is another piece of equipment that we've purchased. actually really does help take us to the forefront of policing, so we're able to livestream in on all of those different scenarios. we'll be looking at using it in areas where we have people in crisis to get the right advice and help there. and again, it'sjust looking to different ways of us using this. at the moment, there's probably four or five main reasons we see. but actually, as officers start to use this, as staff start to use this, i think more and more ideas will come in to make us more efficient and better. the cameras only start live streaming when they're switched on and there's an active incident. for the purposes of this, john's switched his camera on so that we can test it out, and they can see me in the control room. back in aston, jamie's having the cut to his head cleaned up. on top of the injury, he's had about £60 stolen. hopefully, they get him. hopefully.

phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. we are talking this morning on breakfast about the weather. john is live in cambridge waiting to see whether the temperature record is broken, the all—time record. let's see outside in salford this morning. you can always rely on their still to be a bit of cloud, even when the sun is shining bright. temperatures across the uk, although it might look beautiful, the messages do stay safe. it is more than a nice summers day. it is dangerous and difficult. in the meantime thank you for sending in yourtips in the meantime thank you for sending in your tips and advice on keeping cool. e—mail us. we will go through a few of them shortly. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london.

transport for london is advising customers to only travel if essential today and tomorrow, due to the high temperatures being forecast. temporary speed restrictions on parts of the network are in place, which will mean a reduced service with delays possible. it comes as the capital expects temperatures up to a0 degrees, and london suffers from the fact towns and cities are usually being a few degrees warmer than rural areas because of the types of building materials used. over 80% of us live in towns and cities. that means that we're exposed to this extra heat and it can be as much as about ten degrees difference between temperature in a city centre and a rural area for a large city. meanwhile, a water company has urged customers to avoid all non—essential water use. affinity water said "urgent action" was needed in areas of essex and hertfordshire to "conserve reservoir supplies for everyone" — but added it was "working around the clock to maintain supplies".

some areas of buckinghamshire, surrey and north london are also affected. so how is this heatwave affecting you? do get in touch on our email — hellobbclondon@bbc.co.uk. police investigating the disappearance of a woman in east london have discovered a body. 2i—year—old hina bashir was reported missing from ilford. her family are being supported by specialist officers. the body was found in havering in the early hours of sunday morning, and a 36—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. let's check the travel situation. on the tube, there are already heat—related issues, with a reduced service on all lines. there are also severe delays on the district line, the hammersmith & city line is part suspended, as is the metropolitan line and london overground — no service romford to upminster and willesdenjunction to richmond. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. the temperature has been rising through the weekend, and today it is set to get much hotter.

the met office has a red weather warning in place for extreme heat. now, the area we are likely to see the hottest temperatures today are shown here within the red warning zone. there is an amber warning across the south—east, so everywhere is going to get hot temperatures. lots of sunshine today and temperatures getting up to potentially a0 celsius. one or two spots may be ai. outside of the red zone, mid to high 30s. now it is going to be quite a hot and uncomfortable night as well. it's dry and it's clear. not a lot of sleeping, i would imagine, as the minimum temperature in central london not dropping much below 23 celsius. for tuesday, similar conditions, similar temperatures but we will start to feel the influence of this front, which is heading in towards the evening. but, during the daytime, we have lots of sunshine and the temperature again in the high 30s. it will be a little bit further north tomorrow, where we could see a0 celsius. you will see this band of cloud and rain heading towards us in the evening. some showers potentially and temperatures still quite warm overnight but it does bring some relief.

the temperature dropping significantly but it is still hot on wednesday and thursday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to nina and jon. bye for now.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with me, jon kay, in cambridge, and nina warhurst in the studio — as millions of people are braced for the uk's highest—ever temperature. a red alert for extreme heat is now in place for the next two days — parts of england could hit ai degrees celsius today, which would be a new record. that is well over 100 fahrenheit. the heatwave is being treated as a national emergency — health officials are urging people to take extra care, and there are warnings of significant disruption to the roads and railways. it is not just it is notjust the uk temperature heat record that is likely to be

broken in the next couple of days. individual ones are, as well, for scotland, england and wales, and although today will be hot, tomorrow could well prove to be hotter for some of us. i will have all the detail throughout this morning. of course, it is notjust humans who will suffer in this heat. animals are also at risk. join me at battersea as we find out how we can keep our pets cool. also on breakfast this morning... one of the conservative mps vying to be party leader will be knocked out of the running today, when the latest round of voting takes place. in sport, how rory mcilroy let it slip away on the final day at st andrews as cameron smith pockets a cool £2 million winner's cheque for winning the open. hello, good morning, welcome to the banks of the beautiful river cam in

cambridge. if you struggle to sleep last night, it was already too hot, the bad news is it will get much, much hotter in the hours and days ahead. we are in cambridge because this place currently holds the record for the hottest temperature ever recorded in the uk, a couple of years ago. 38.7 degrees. but today it could get up to a0 degrees, maybe even ai degrees. tomorrow, even hotter. not necessarily in cambridge but somewhere in england. that is why the met office have issued this unprecedented red alert for extreme heat for the next couple of days. we are reflecting on that this morning, will get all the latest weather from carol who has been looking for the latest data and she will tell us where in the country is likely to be most affected. we will also have advice about how you can make things advice about how you can make things a bit more bearable over the next couple of days because we can share tips with one another about how to get through this on an individual basis. but of course it is notjust individuals, the whole infrastructure of the country will

be challenged in a way we have never had to deal with before, whether it is our rail tracks, roads, power lines and power systems, and even mobile phone masts apparently could be at risk from some of this and of course the nhs. the nhs already under extreme pressure, how will it cope with extra heat in agency? we will have answers to all of those and tips. jonah fisher has been talking to some of those most affected. it might be a very busy next few days for the fire service in oxford. this weekend we've already had a couple of incidents where people have got into trouble in the water, and we've had to come and rescue them. so my message would be, please, please stay out of the water. stay out of open water. it is hugely, hugely dangerous. extremely hot weather, sadly, means more people dying. take last year, for example — the government estimates there were 1,600 excess deaths caused by the heat.

and last year wasn't even particularly hot — the top temperature was 32.2 degrees. over the next couple of days, it could be eight degrees hotter than that. the message for those in areas where a red warning is in place is that it can't be business as usual. the weather heading this way from southern europe is so hot that people should think about changing their routines and plans. to make sure that they have access to water, that they drink plenty of water, that they stay in the shade, that they remain cool, and that they take simple precautions to make sure that they avoid the adverse impact on health that these high temperatures can have. the government has asked us to look out for vulnerable relatives and neighbours, and has increased capacity on the call—handling service for ambulances. i would encourage people to heed

the warnings that are out there. we have that balance where we might not see very much good weather and we want to enjoy it, but it's... we're talking about temperatures that we've not experienced in this country — ever, never mind for a long time. our bodies, our houses, our culture, our way of life arejust not geared up for it. but we're going to have to get used to it. the greenhouse gases we put into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels trap the sun's energy and warm the earth at a rate of about a quarter of a degree every ten years. well, heatwaves is one of the clearest signs in extreme weather of human influence on climate. it's one of the extreme weather events that we can be most confident about are being affected by rising global temperatures. so is it too late for us to turn this around? it's absolutely not too late because future warming is determined by future emissions. if we stop dumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the world will stop warming. it's that simple.

but rapid action on emissions has not proved simple. will the soaring temperatures outside make fighting climate change a real priority? jonah fisher, bbc news. it is already managing 20 degrees in cambridge, it will get much hotter as the day goes by. you feel the sun getting stronger already this morning. the punters are out on the water, enjoying it while they can because the advice is not to do anything too strenuous as the day goes on, try to stay inside, may be a siesta this afternoon. that is the kind of mediterranean lifestyle we will have to adapt to for a couple of days. already there are some problems in different parts of the country, particularly in the east of england, but it could affect lots more regions as the next few hours go on. let me only through a few things you might need to know.

some people in norfolk are without water after the mains supply burst near kings lynn. it initially affected 5,500 properties — that number is now down to a few hundred homes. but that is not disruption you want in a day like this when you need to stay hydrated and cool. bottled water is available there. when it comes back online may look cloudy but it is fine, it is settling down and you can drink it as normal. we are also talking about transport problems because that will be a big issue. already we are getting warnings from network rail. network rail says the east coast mainline will be closed completely on tuesday afternoon, from midday until 8pm, punting services will go on as normalfor punting services will go on as normal for now. a skeleton service running in the morning. conditions on other routes will be closely monitored, with further changes possible. rail tracks could be prone to

overheating and buckling, even, in some temperatures. do check before you make the journey and if you can stay at home that is probably a good idea. we will talk a lot this morning about the health service. real stresses and pressures for the nhs over the next couple of days, already struggling as we know with the pandemic and the backlog. this will put a lot of people under pressure and put services, especially paramedic services, under pressure. and milton keynes university hospital says routine outpatient appointments and surgery will not go ahead today or tomorrow because many of the patients travelling to these appointments are frail and at increased risk — and also due to the potential demand for emergency care. we know that people with underlying health conditions, things like coronary problems, lung conditions, asthma, could really struggle in the heat over the next couple of days. it is notjust us, of course, who are struggling with this in the uk. this weather is coming up from north africa and southern europe and we

have some pictures of some of the situations they are experiencing in southern europe already. some really extreme wildfires spreading, which are seeing massive evacuations of residents and tourists. france evacuated more than ia,000 people in the south—west, while fires also spread in spain, croatia and greece. authorities in portugal say its fires are contained for now but 659 people — most of them elderly — have died from the heat over the past week. we will keep an eye on all of that and it is a lesson for us in the uk about what we could face here. in places like portugal and spain and france, they are used to temperatures, kind of come in this region. we are not. how our infrastructure and we as individuals cope with this over the next few days, it will be an even bigger problem. we heard earlier that our bodies in the uk are just

problem. we heard earlier that our bodies in the uk arejust not problem. we heard earlier that our bodies in the uk are just not used to dealing with this. we will get all the health advice you need, checkin all the health advice you need, check in with carol in a moment. let's stay with the practicalities of how we live. if he struggled to sleep last night it might well be because you live in one of the millions of properties in the uk thatjust cannot deal with this, don't have the right levels of ventilation, they might be over packed with padding and special ways of trying to keep heat in which then does not let the heat escape when we get these kind of extraordinary situations. our climate editor, justin rowlatt, has more. when sydney taylor moved into her flat in manchester city centre in spring last year, she planned to buy it outright. but her dream of urban living has evaporated in the summer heat. it can get up to 36 degrees that i've measured at one point. 36 degrees... 36. ..brutal temperature. i mean, you can't sleep in 36 degrees. i slept in the hallway

for two nights in a row. you slept in the hallway, cos that's the coolest place? it was the coolest place at that time. hot homes can be deadly — there are around 2,000 heat—related deaths each year, according to government figures, and much of the risk is from high indoor temperatures. new—build apartments like sydney's are a particular problem. it's easy to see why flats like these get so hot. you've got this huge wall of glass here, like a greenhouse. then there are no windows at the back, so you can't get a through breeze, and they tend to be well insulated — great in winter, but if they get hot in summer, they stay hot. experts say the risks of overheating haven't been a priority for government. well, as there haven't been any rules that govern overheating in buildings, we've seen buildings that have been designed that don't necessarily cope particularly well with the increased temperatures that we experience in summer. so an awful lot of glazing, which we know exacerbates hot temperatures, and hard standing

areas, and concrete in particular. new homes now need to be tested for overheating, thanks to regulations that came into effect this summer. but it is too little, too late, according to the climate change committee. we've been telling the government for over ten years now that we're nothing like well enough prepared in the uk for the really hot weather that we're now seeing and that we're going to get more of. if we don't take more action, we'll see probably at least a tripling of heat—related deaths in this country. and there is still no policy for how to deal with the millions of existing homes that overheat. many will need costly modifications, and the science is clear — we can expect more frequent and more intense heat waves in the future. justin rowlatt, bbc news, manchester.

here ina here in a very sunny cambridge, we arejoined by professor here in a very sunny cambridge, we are joined by professor emily shuckburgh, director of cambridge zero, the university of cambridge's major climate change initiative, research initiative. thank you for coming in. there are lots of people watching this when you are saying, for goodness' sake, it is just a couple of sunny summer days, we are all overreacting, what do you say to that? is days, we are all overreacting, what do you say to that?— do you say to that? is sadly the sort of temperatures _ do you say to that? is sadly the sort of temperatures we - do you say to that? is sadly the sort of temperatures we are - do you say to that? is sadly the i sort of temperatures we are likely to experience today and tomorrow are, for some people, potentially deadly. if you are elderly, pregnant, if you have babies or toddlers, those people are particularly vulnerable to these really high temperatures, so this is not something to take lightly. harper not something to take lightly. how do we deal with _ not something to take lightly. how do we deal with it _ not something to take lightly. how do we deal with it for these couple of days and how do we adjust our lifestyles may be way into the future, for ever?— lifestyles may be way into the future, for ever? you said earlier we should _ future, for ever? you said earlier we should be _ future, for ever? you said earlier we should be enjoying _ future, for ever? you said earlier we should be enjoying a - we should be enjoying a mediterranean lifestyle for the next

couple of days but the problem is we are not set up for that. particularly our hospitals, care homes, schools, nurseries, our homes, schools, nurseries, our homes, we simply don't have the infrastructure to deal with the really hot temperatures. and we can't 'ust really hot temperatures. and we can't just suddenly _ really hot temperatures. and we can'tjust suddenly do _ really hot temperatures. and we can'tjust suddenly do that - really hot temperatures. and we can'tjust suddenly do that for. really hot temperatures. and we can'tjust suddenly do that for a | can'tjust suddenly do that for a couple of days. we are talking massive change. find couple of days. we are talking massive change.— couple of days. we are talking massive change. and this is the challen . e massive change. and this is the challenge of— massive change. and this is the challenge of climate _ massive change. and this is the challenge of climate change, i massive change. and this is the challenge of climate change, if| massive change. and this is the i challenge of climate change, if we are going to be able to live in a society with the sort of temperatures that we are already experiencing along with other climate impacts, then we really do need to focus on how we can adapt to that change. at the same time, the biggest thing we can be doing to limit the risk of those things happening is to reduce our emissions in the first place because that is how we stop climate change. it in the first place because that is how we stop climate change. it will be in mines — how we stop climate change. it will be in mines today, _ how we stop climate change. it will be in mines today, and _ how we stop climate change. it will be in mines today, and then - how we stop climate change. it will be in mines today, and then the i be in mines today, and then the temperature comes down a bit on wednesday, we get back to normal and this might fade away into people's minds when they are dealing with the cost of living is in day—to—day bills.

frustrating from a climate scientist perspective that we are now seeing the human impact of climate change. river emily shuckburgh, thank you for you joining us from cambridge zero. carol has been looking for the latest data and has all the information. she is on primrose hill in central london and a bit you can't believe some of those numbers on the maps today. some of those numbers on the maps toda . ., �* , some of those numbers on the maps toda. , today. that's absolutely right. never before _ today. that's absolutely right. never before have _ today. that's absolutely right. never before have we - today. that's absolutely right. never before have we seen i today. that's absolutely right. | never before have we seen 40 today. that's absolutely right. - never before have we seen 40 degrees never before have we seen a0 degrees on a map of the uk, ever. quite unprecedented. at the moment, the met office has got various warnings in force. first of all there is the red warning, the highest level and basically it is for the heat, never been issued before, and it means a dangerous weather expected, take action to keep yourself and others safe. it is

also running concurrently with an amber weather warning and that means an increased likely impact due to the severity of the weather and destruction is likely. again, act now. both of these are running for today and for tomorrow. the red one is for a large chunk of england, the amber is for all of england, wales, southern and eastern parts of scotland. ~ ., ~ southern and eastern parts of scotland. ~ . ~ ., southern and eastern parts of scotland. ~ . ,, ., , ., , scotland. we talked a bit about this whether they _ scotland. we talked a bit about this whether they have _ scotland. we talked a bit about this whether they have seen _ scotland. we talked a bit about this whether they have seen in - scotland. we talked a bit about this whether they have seen in southern europe. that is where this blast of heat is coming from? it is europe. that is where this blast of heat is coming from?— heat is coming from? it is coming from north _ heat is coming from? it is coming from north africa _ heat is coming from? it is coming from north africa and _ heat is coming from? it is coming from north africa and travelling i from north africa and travelling across iberia, france, to us. in spain, france and portugal they have had some record—breaking temperatures and near record—breaking temperatures and we have a southerly flow at the moment, pulling this up across our shores and it is southern areas today, especially in the south—east, that are likely to see temperatures around the a0 degrees mark but this

area is not going anywhere. it will cool a bit but we are starting with a threshold tomorrow of 20, 21, 22 degrees, so tomorrow will be even warmer and that air travelling further north, so somewhere in eastern england or the east midlands, for example, could see in excess of a0 degrees tomorrow. what excess of 40 degrees tomorrow. what are ou excess of 40 degrees tomorrow. what are you recommending, what are your top tips to keep cool?— top tips to keep cool? well, keep h drated, top tips to keep cool? well, keep hydrated, make _ top tips to keep cool? well, keep hydrated, make sure _ top tips to keep cool? well, keep hydrated, make sure you - top tips to keep cool? well, keep hydrated, make sure you drink. top tips to keep cool? well, keep - hydrated, make sure you drink plenty of water, stay off the alcohol and caffeine if you can. early in the morning, like now, open your windows and doors, let in the cool air, but close them again, close the curtains to keep the hot air coming our way right out. walk in the shade if you have to be out, avoid the hours of 11am to 3pm and don't leave animals or people in part to closed cars. those will probably be my top tips. top tips, very good. have you got any tips for removing bed poo from a

his policies as chancellor, and that he would continue if he were elected prime minister, risked running the uk into recession. rishi sunak had similar scorn for a penny more urgent, his main challenger at the moment, who is in second place among mps, saying she was planning to fund day—to—day spending, something he said jeremy corbyn wasn't even prepared to do —— penny mordaunt, his main challenger. this was a closely fought debate between the five candidates, the other two in the running, kemi badenoch and tom tugendhat fighting to be third at the point. no doubt they have cooked through, but at this point it seems tom tugendhat is particularly most vulnerable to leaving the race when mps vote for the third time later on today, whittling the number of candidates down to four. all eyes will be on where suella braverman, the attorney general, her votes will

go. liz truss will hope to pick up votes and maybe even edge out any mordant at this point, putting herself into —— penny mordaunt. it is sharpening, conservatives mps at the moment i whittling candidates down to a final two on wednesday afternoon and that final pairing will go head—to—head over the summer when conservative party members will vote to choose between them and we will know the winner by the 5th of september. will know the winner by the 5th of september-— september. more twists over the cominu september. more twists over the coming days. _ september. more twists over the coming days. no _ september. more twists over the coming days, no doubt. - september. more twists over the coming days, no doubt. jonathan blake, thank you. a report into the uvalde school shooting in texas — in which 19 children and two teachers were killed — has found systemic failures and poor decision making by those involved in the response. the committee of state legislators said there was a "lackadaisical approach" by authorities at the scene. nearly a00 officers rushed to the site but police waited more than an hour to confront the attacker. the prospect of being sent to rwanda

is not deterring asylum seekers from crossing the channel in small boats. that's according to the home affairs select committee. last year 28,500 people came to the uk in small boats. so far this year, 1a,000 have arrived. the home office says its new plan for immigration will support those in genuine need, while preventing illegaljourneys. the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelensky, has fired two of his top staff over claims that some members of their departments were collaborating with russia. a number of people are being investigated for treason. at a news conference the president accused more than 60 employees of the prosecutor's office of working against the state of ukraine. and here's some showbiz news which may sound like it's 20 years old — but it's actually hot off the press. jenny from the block has become mrs affleck. two decades after they first dated — and 17 years after they split up the first time — jennifer lopez and ben affleck have tied the knot.

the couple — dubbed "bennifer" — got married at the famous little white wedding chapel in las vegas. loads morejuicy loads more juicy pictures of them online. congratulations to them. before we get the news where you are, let's see how it's looking in london this morning. primrose hill, where carol has been this morning. saying earlier, never before has she had to read out numbers into the a0s, but she is doing for the first time today. the message is to enjoy the weather but take it as a warning. this is dangerous, serious weather. stay out of it in the middle of the day if you can. more of a detailed look of the weather where you are now. good morning from bbc london, i'm victoria hollins. transport for london is advising customers to only travel

if essential today and tomorrow, due to the high temperatures being forecast. temporary speed restrictions on parts of the network are in place which will mean a reduced service with delays possible. it comes are the capital expects temperatures up to a0 degrees, and london suffers from the fact towns and cities are usually a few degrees warmer than rural areas because of the types of building materials used. meanwhile, a water company has urged customers to avoid all non—essential water use. affinity water said "urgent action" was needed in areas of essex and hertfordshire to "conserve reservoir supplies for everyone" but added it was "working around the clock to maintain supplies". some areas of buckinghamshire, surrey and north london are also affected. we are not intending to impose restrictions to our customers. what we do ask is that they help us to just use water for essential purposes only, things like avoiding hosepipes for watering the garden, cleaning the car. that will help us ensure there is water to flow for all of our customers' taps

through this heatwave period. so how is this heatwave affecting you? do get in touch on our e—mail: hellobbclondon@bbc.co.uk. the extension of london overground to a new station at the heart of barking riverside will open to customers today. the new station is fully step—free and the new a.5km stretch of railway will connect the new development of barking riverside to barking town centre in seven minutes. let's check the travel situation. on the tube, there are already heat related issue with a reduced service on all lines. there are also severe delays on the district line, the hammersmith and city line is part suspoeneded as is the metropolitan line and london 0vergound. the best advice is checked you travel. now the weather with kate kinsella.

good morning. the temperature has been rising through the weekend, and today it is set to get much hotter. the met office has a red weather warning in place for extreme heat. now, the area we are likely to see the hottest temperatures today are shown here within the red warning zone. there is an amber warning across the south—east, so everywhere is going to get hot temperatures. lots of sunshine today and temperatures getting up to potentially a0 celsius. one or two spots may be a1. outside of the red zone, mid to high 30s. now it is going to be quite a hot and uncomfortable night as well. it's dry and it's clear. not a lot of sleeping, i would imagine, as the minimum temperature in central london not dropping much below 23 celsius. for tuesday, similar conditions, similar temperatures but we will start to feel the influence of this front, which is heading in towards the evening. but, during the daytime, we have lots of sunshine and the temperature again in the high 30s. it will be a little bit further north tomorrow, where we could see a0 celsius. you will see this band of cloud and rain heading towards us in the evening. some showers potentially and temperatures still quite warm overnight but it does bring some relief. the temperature dropping significantly but it is still hot on wednesday and thursday.

i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in an hour. bye for now. what a perfect way to start the day that is! we are live on the banks of the river cam in cambridge this morning. the most gorgeous spot in what is at the moment the most gorgeous weather. the sun is up and the skies are blue stock prepare for things to get really serious over the next few hours. that is the warning from the met office from people who know this. we could see temperatures in the uk over the next couple of days we have never recorded before. the current record is 38.7 degrees, recorded here in cambridge a couple of years ago. we

thought maybe this year we might get a little above it, nudging above it. today we could get up to a0 celsius, a1 celsius tomorrow possibly. we have not had to deal with anything like this before. while it might be lovely right now it could cause all sorts of problems for our health infrastructure, the transport network, mobile phone lines and power signals. we must all be prepared. a red alert or the way we live our lives for most people over the next couple of days. that is the people. what about the animals? it effects loads of pets as well. if you have cuts, dogs and smaller pets you have cuts, dogs and smaller pets you might want to know what to do. matt graveling is at battersea dogs and cats home to tell us how they're keeping the animals safe. what have you sorted out for us? we

particular, also, be aware there will be disruption on the transport network. there is operators concerned to see how the network performs in this kind of heat. they are taking sensible precautions which may result in disruption to travel. if that will be the case and you can work from home, it may be something that is sensible to consider. ., something that is sensible to consider. . ., ~ ., consider. can we talk about the health side _ consider. can we talk about the health side of— consider. can we talk about the health side of this? _ consider. can we talk about the health side of this? we - consider. can we talk about the health side of this? we know. consider. can we talk about the i health side of this? we know about the stress the nhs has been under in the stress the nhs has been under in the last months. and another covid wave under way. what are your concerns about the extra pressure vessel put on the nhs in the next few days? vessel put on the nhs in the next few da s? ,, , , , , few days? the nhs is under pressure at their best — few days? the nhs is under pressure at their best of _ few days? the nhs is under pressure at their best of times. _ few days? the nhs is under pressure at their best of times. all _ few days? the nhs is under pressure at their best of times. all people i at their best of times. all people in that position work extremely hard. we do think that 999 may come

under a better pressure. we put in extra resources over the last few years, 2500 extra people answering those calls. particular with the ambulance service where we are up a0% on human beings operating in that service. nevertheless it will come under some stretch. that is why we are asking people to be careful about their own particular approach to this weather, they stay hydrated and do not get themselves into some kind of distress and look out for elderly, vulnerable people who are most likely to succumb to the heat and hopefully we will get through the next a8 hours in good shape. people watching this morning will have seen stories in the last couple of weeks about ambulances waiting at casualty units, unable to get passengers through the doors at a&e, people waiting hour upon hourfor treatment. if we're to see people in extreme heat conditions, it could

summer in the uk, what can the government do to minimise the impact? meaning we can cope with it and live with it.— and live with it. there are two thins and live with it. there are two things we _ and live with it. there are two things we can _ and live with it. there are two things we can do. _ and live with it. there are two things we can do. we - and live with it. there are two things we can do. we can i and live with it. there are two things we can do. we can do i and live with it. there are two i things we can do. we can do our bit for climate change. to quite assertive things about changing our energy mix and helping people adapt behaviour and adapting the way of living in this climate. we can learn about how our infrastructure in particular works. we will learn over the next a8 hours how the railway system copes with this heat it was not built to cope with. we will learn how we deal as a community with heat. we will learn about how things go well and do not go well over the next a8 hours and we will have to do work over the next three to five years. this is a record

which will be achieved in the next a8 hours and it is a moment for us to come together and think about what steps we need to take to deal with it if it continues in the future. , , ., ., ., future. scientists around the world sa this is future. scientists around the world say this is a _ future. scientists around the world say this is a wake-up _ future. scientists around the world say this is a wake-up call, - future. scientists around the world say this is a wake-up call, we i future. scientists around the world | say this is a wake-up call, we need say this is a wake—up call, we need to act more quickly and be more tough. learning from this over the next three or four years is not enough, we must act harder and quicker. enough, we must act harder and cuicker. , ., ., , , quicker. they are obviously right. this is a point _ quicker. they are obviously right. this is a point in _ quicker. they are obviously right. this is a point in time _ quicker. they are obviously right. this is a point in time where i quicker. they are obviously right. this is a point in time where we i this is a point in time where we will see how the infrastructure works and what we have to do to adapt. there has been worked on going. why i sit in front of the civil contingencies committee with a hot weather planners because we have been thinking about this fulsome time. when the weather comes we will not get months and months of morning it is coming, we get a few days possibly the heatwave will occur. people would say there has been a longer term warning about climate

change. as a government we have taken that very seriously. our energy mix has changed very significantly over the last few years. you saw at top 26 we are fighting very hard to keep 1.5 alive. we had to do both tracks, adapt our behaviour and the way we do things in the uk and lead the world generally. i hope that format will continue in the future. and world generally. i hope that format will continue in the future.- will continue in the future. and the prime minister's _ will continue in the future. and the prime minister's leadership? i will continue in the future. and the i prime minister's leadership? reports he did not share that we can. there were reports he was having a party at chequers. it is were reports he was having a party at chequers— at chequers. it is my 'ob to chair cobra. i at chequers. it is my 'ob to chair cobra. | briefed _ at chequers. it is my job to chair cobra. i briefed him _ at chequers. it is my job to chair cobra. i briefed him about i at chequers. it is my job to chair cobra. i briefed him about the l at chequers. it is my job to chair i cobra. i briefed him about the steps that were taken. it is myjob to coordinate across government, that is what we have been doing the last few days and what we have been doing this afternoon briefing the prime

health and infrastructure as we have been hearing. a large chunk of england is covered by this red warning. it means dangerous weather, take action now to protect yourselves and those you. at the same time there is an amber weather warning running concurrently for monday and tuesday. that means increased likelihood of impacts due to the severe weather. rain this morning across the far north of scotland. that will clear. for most of us it will be dry, sunny and hot. it will feel humid across northern ireland and scotland. a dry heat across england and wales with temperatures potentially getting up to a0 degrees around the london area, the east midlands and east anglia. widely we are looking at 28 to 38 degrees. this evening and overnight, note how the colours in the chart change very little. it will be hot tonight and maggie. some

of us will not see temperatures falling lower than 20, 21 and 22. we starting with that as a threshold tomorrow. tomorrow the temperatures will potentially be higher than today, especially across the east midlands, east anglia and england, where it is possible we could see in excess of a0 degrees. in the west we are starting to see whether france coming in, bringing in showery outbreaks of rain, some of which will get into central and southern england later. it will be cooler on the west. on wednesday the weather friends push east, bringing rain. the other thing that will be introduced is cooler conditions. temperatures will be closer to where we would expect at this time of year. we are looking at highs in london up to about 28 degrees. a huge difference from what we are looking at today and also tomorrow. it is. it chops quite quickly. it is

a big area in the red zone today and tomorrow. normally nothing quite this big. the area potentially affected is millions and millions of people over the next couple of days. in cambridge three years ago, they set the current record for the hottest temperature ever recorded in the uk, 38.7 degrees. it might be cambridge this time that beats it. be up around that point. right up into the east midlands and south yorkshire, even as far as manchester, places that do not normally get into the heat sensor may have the extreme summer weather events will be affected over the next couple of days. do take pair, cambridge, orwhereveryou next couple of days. do take pair, cambridge, or wherever you are watching this morning. we have had advice from a doctor who said, do not exercise. for one day or two days only. do not run or cycle ns. it will be far too hot. i will enjoy

that and embrace that excuse as long as we have got it. some people have to keep going with professional sport. can you imagine having to compete professionally in this heat? a couple of the racing fixtures have been affected. windsor and beverley had gone today. england's cricketers are playing tomorrow and england against spain on wednesday night, there is still scheduled to go ahead. you must spare a thought for those competing in the tour de france in a0 degrees heat. some pretty benign conditions on the final day of the open at st andrews. rory mcilroy, who was joint leader heading into the final round, unable to capitalise on the favourable weather. the man who did, the australian cameron smith who produced a superb final round to claim his first major. as our sports correspondent joe wilson reports.

rory mcilroy knew before he'd struck a ball that st andrews expected — he expected. who'd challenge him? sure. he thought of viktor hovland. they began together four shots clear of the field. nearby, quietly practising his putting, an australian neighbour with that late—80s hair. mcilroy was steady. he saw off hovland and held the early lead. all this excitement, all this attention around rory mcilroy. of course he could sense it. but could he use it? the answer was no. this was mcilroy�*s round. opportunities that never quite made it. meanwhile, that australian cameron smith was holing everything. he made eight birdies, five in a row at one stage. he'd started the day on 12 under par, he finished it 20 under. it meant that mcilroy, just to force a play—off, needed to hole this for an eagle on the 18th. another major chance had slipped by and the open had a champion in shock.

what a week! i'm going to fall apart here, i know. all the hard work we've done for the last couple of years has really started to pay off. this one definitely makes it worth it. to win here, tojoin those names mean, yes, the open must hope that young golfers treasure this tradition. joe wilson, bbc news, st andrews. you would not miss him with that hair! well, it was case of what might have been for dina asher—smith — the british sprinter was upset after her fourth—placed finish in the 100 metres at the world championships. a race won by shelly—ann fraser pryce who's been crowned the fastest woman on the planet for the fifth time, in what was a jamaican one, two, three. andy swiss reports from eugene. another golden day for one of sport's most glittering stars. shelly—ann fraser—pryce yet again on top of the world. earlier, britain's hopes

in the 100 metres had rested on dina asher—smith. nearest the camera, she got away well. butjamaica's trio had other ideas. elaine thompson—herah and shericka jackson pushed her all the way but fraser—pryce was unstoppable. it's a fifth title, unbelievable! and so some 13 years after her first crown, the athlete known as the pocket rocket had done it again. fraser—pryce, a seemingly timeless talent, as jamaica took all three medals. once again it's joy forjamaica. yet another world title for shelly—ann fraser—pryce confirming her status as one of sprinting's all—time greats. for asher—smith, though, there was agony, finishing fourth. she equalled her british record but it was tough to take. it sucks. i'm... so close. but, you know, we got the 200, which i'm definitely, definitely very fired up for. in the heptathlon, meanwhile, katarina johnson—thompson lies in sixth place after four events.

she won't be world champion this time but after so many injuries she said she was just glad to be out there. andy swiss, bbc news, eugene. england came out on the wrong side of their series decider with india at old trafford, losing by five wickets. jos buttler top scored with 60 as his side were 259 all—out. rishabh pant�*s 125 not out saw them home with a7 balls to spare. england don't have long to wait — their next series with south africa begins tomorrow in durham, with temperatures expected to be in the mid—30s when it gets underway at lunchtime. a0 degrees yesterday for those competing in the tour de france. limey! can you imagine having to deal with a0 degrees? we got the

slide in the paddling pool yesterday. very exciting moment. you might remember the days when we used to have to leave the uk to experience hot weather. however, the experience of flying in recent months has been overshadowed by cancellations, delays and long queues. rachel burden has been looking into the problems for bbc panorama and — by way of comparison — she visited one european airport that has so far avoided major problems. in this airport, milan malpensa, how many people lost theirjobs as a result of the pandemic? none. how did they do it? i'm going to find out. malpensa is a busy airport, with up to 28 million passengers a year. unlike some uk airports, it mostly publicly—owned and hasn't seen the queueing, baggage and security problems now familiar in britain. so it must have been really difficult when covid hit here. a real shock. this was the first part of the western world to be hit, and maybe the darkest of times, yes. in italy, the government took

the decision to step in with an extensive, and, for the taxpayer, expensive, financial—aid package, including extended furlough, and an 800 million cash subsidy. they provided a very strong and robust furlough scheme, connected to the inability for us to sack people. we were not allowed to let people off. so you let anyone go. even if we wanted to, we couldn't. so now we have everybody back. relentless, isn't it? what is making a difference where airports are going smoothly and where it is not? there are some airports around europe doing really well and some that are not. in the uk there is variation. what we have done is go behind—the—scenes to understand the mechanics of the airport and why it is some airports and airlines have been struggling in the uk. when i

went to milan, the difference seem to be there did not get rid of any star. they were not allowed to. the italian government put in loads of money but the condition of that was that you panel sack anyone, you cannot make anyone redundant. they are now up and running and able to cope with passenger numbers as they returned to normal. in the uk there have been tens of thousands of redundancies, right across airports and airlines, all the nuts and bolts of machinery, what goes into an airport, making it operational. so many staff have left and that is what has caused all the problems. when it comes to recruiting people in the airport system, it is not a case of training them up overnight. they are running behind at the moment, trying to get ready for peak numbers. they are still being trained. morale is so low among staff in different places. then they are leaving. there is a high rate of

attrition as well. it is looking ok for the summer but there will be incidents and passengers will get caught up in that. the vast majority people will without bother. that has been the case all the way through. when you are caught up in the chaos, it would be traumatic and stressful and costly as well. you it would be traumatic and stressful and costly as well.— it would be traumatic and stressful and costly as well. you pin so much ho -e on and costly as well. you pin so much hope on trips. _ and costly as well. you pin so much hope on trips, especially _ and costly as well. you pin so much hope on trips, especially over i and costly as well. you pin so much hope on trips, especially over the i hope on trips, especially over the last couple of years.— hope on trips, especially over the last couple of years. what west are sa inc last couple of years. what west are sa in: to last couple of years. what west are saving to you? _ last couple of years. what west are saying to you? typical _ last couple of years. what west are saying to you? typical in _ last couple of years. what west are saying to you? typical in general i saying to you? typical in general terms. there is disagreement about how much the travel industry and aviation industry were expecting to come back in such great numbers post—pandemic. it is generally expected there not to be such a surge in demand and they are not quite ready for it. there are questions over whether the government gave enough financial support. the government says it did everything it could different airlines and airports have responded in different ways some laid off

staff and others did not. some were able to weather this peak in demand better than others.— better than others. heathrow is reducin: better than others. heathrow is reducing the — better than others. heathrow is reducing the number _ better than others. heathrow is reducing the number of - better than others. heathrow is - reducing the number of passengers going through for a specific period, how have airlines reacted to that? that is something the airlines have been happy to do because it feels for than they can manage the number of passengers they are bringing through. airlines like ea have been able to cancel a lot of flights without losing their slots, the pressure slots they hold at airports. at the same time it means they can manage their summer schedules according to staff they know they have on the ground. we are still getting messages, someone saying they were stuck on a plane coming back from cyprus for an hour because the staff were not there at the airport to help the special assistance passenger who needed assistance passenger who needed assistance to get onto the plane. as soon as one little cog in the wheel somehow goes awry, the whole web

fairly fragile web of the airport operation can collapse and that is what has caused all the problems recently. what has caused all the problems recentl . . ~ . , what has caused all the problems recentl. ., , what has caused all the problems recentl. ., . ., , ., recently. financially as well, and the expectation _ recently. financially as well, and the expectation is _ recently. financially as well, and the expectation is that _ recently. financially as well, and the expectation is that is - recently. financially as well, and the expectation is that is ok - recently. financially as well, and the expectation is that is ok i i recently. financially as well, and | the expectation is that is ok i will get the compensation and sample that you spoke to one family he barely got anything back. the? you spoke to one family he barely got anything back.— you spoke to one family he barely got anything back. they were offered minimal compensation. _ got anything back. they were offered minimal compensation. they - got anything back. they were offered minimal compensation. they had - got anything back. they were offered minimal compensation. they had a l minimal compensation. they had a flight cancelled and then a further flight cancelled and then a further flight was delayed. they were offered just £150 in compensation. that has been with to £500. one message we got, simon calder says, please do pursue airlines for compensation where you had been delayed. that may be a way to encourage them to behave better towards customers. another big issue is not so much flights are being cancelled, people understood that the communication is terrible people did not know what was going on. that

adds to doesn't it? and you can watch panorama: airport chaos, what's gone wrong at 8 o'clock tonight on bbc one. stay with us, headlines coming up. good morning, welcome to breakfast with me, jon kay, in cambridge, and nina warhurst in the studio — as millions of people are braced for the uk's highest—ever temperature.

a red alert for extreme heat is now in place for the next two days — parts of england could hit 41 degrees celsius today — which would be a new record. the heatwave is being treated as a national emergency — health officials are urging people to take extra care, and there are warnings of significant disruption to the roads and railways. it is not just it is notjust the uk temperature record that could tumble, individual ones could come as well, for england, scotland and wales, and if anything it looks like tomorrow could be that bit hotter than today for some. could be that bit hotter than today forsome. i could be that bit hotter than today for some. i will have all the details throughout the programme this morning. good morning from this farm in suffolk where this lot are taking the advice to seek shade with extreme temperature. i will be finding out what the hot weather and the lack of rainfall so far this

year, the effect those i have enough arms like this one and what they produce for all of us. also on breakfast this morning... one of the conservative mps vying to be party leader will be knocked out of the running today, when the latest round of voting takes place. in sport, how rory mcilroy let it slip away on the final day at st andrews as cameron smith pockets a cool £2 million winner's cheque for winning the open. good morning. welcome to breakfast live from cambridge. monday the 18th ofjuly, date likely to go down in the history books. three years ago the history books. three years ago the hottest temperature ever recorded in the uk was recorded right here in this city. 38.7 degrees. that is still the record. but today, may be in cambridge, maybe somewhere else close to this part of the country, we could see temperatures getting above a0

celsius. that is notjust a little bit of the current records, that is smashing the record in a way nobody expected. that will affect the way we all live our lives over the next couple of days and will have an impact on the way we cope as a country, and our nhs, roads, railways, schools and workplaces. large parts of england are on a met office read award —— red alert, meaning there is a risk to life. there's also an amber warning. downing street have told us in the last half hour that this heatwave is being treated as a national emergency. carol will have all the weather you need in a few minutes, weather you need in a few minutes, we will share tips with one another, little things we can do to keep ourselves and each other safe. our climate correspondent jonah fisher has been to see how different groups are preparing. it might be a very busy next few days for the fire service in oxford. this weekend we've already had a couple of incidents where people have got into trouble in the water, and we've had to come and rescue them.

so my message would be, please, please stay out of the water. stay out of open water. it is hugely, hugely dangerous. extremely hot weather, sadly, means more people dying. take last year, for example — the government estimates there were 1,600 excess deaths caused by the heat. and last year wasn't even particularly hot — the top temperature was 32.2 degrees. over the next couple of days, it could be eight degrees hotter than that. the message for those in areas where a red warning is in place is that it can't be business as usual. the weather heading this way from southern europe is so hot that people should think about changing their routines and plans. to make sure that they have access to water, that they drink plenty of water, that they stay in the shade, that they remain cool, and that they take simple

precautions to make sure that they avoid the adverse impact on health that these high temperatures can have. the government has asked us to look out for vulnerable relatives and neighbours, and has increased capacity on the call—handling service for ambulances. i would encourage people to heed the warnings that are out there. we have that balance where we might not see very much good weather and we want to enjoy it, but it's... we're talking about temperatures that we've not experienced in this country — ever, never mind for a long time. our bodies, our houses, our culture, our way of life arejust not geared up for it. but we're going to have to get used to it. the greenhouse gases we put into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels trap the sun's energy and warm the earth at a rate of about a quarter of a degree every ten years. well, heatwaves is one of the clearest signs in extreme weather of human influence on climate.

it's one of the extreme weather events that we can be most confident about are being affected by rising global temperatures. so is it too late for us to turn this around? it's absolutely not too late because future warming is determined by future emissions. if we stop dumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, the world will stop warming. it's that simple. but rapid action on emissions has not proved simple. will the soaring temperatures outside make fighting climate change a real priority? jonah fisher, bbc news. here in cambridge it is already in the mid—20s here in cambridge it is already in the mid—205just after here in cambridge it is already in the mid—20s just after 8am. here in cambridge it is already in the mid—205just after 8am. it is getting warmer by the minute. we all have sun lotion on and we are hydrated and getting in the shade when we can and we will get out of the sun as we can because this is the sun as we can because this is the time, if you need to get out of

the time, if you need to get out of the house, you need to get some fresh air, this is when you should be doing it. avoid it from 11am onwards. people are talking about a national siesta between 11am and 3pm because it will be super, super hot. it is no time or place to be out there doing a thing if you don't have to. i want to bring you up—to—date with some of the news we are getting in this morning. things will change a lot over the next of days. it's a bit like we have snow days. it's a bit like we have snow daysin days. it's a bit like we have snow days in the way and things i cancelled and changed all over the place but we are doing it in this kind of temperature. one water firm — affinity — has urged customers to avoid all non—essential water use. ona day on a day when you are supposed to be staying hydrated and cool. the company says "urgent action" is needed in parts of essex and hertfordshire to "conserve reservoir supplies for everyone". there is no prospect at the moment of any rain ahead. transport we know will be affected. network rail says the east coast mainline will be closed completely on tuesday afternoon,

from midday until 8pm, with just a skeleton service running in the morning. that is one thing to look out for. conditions on other routes will be closely monitored, with further changes possible. so if you are going anywhere just check and if you can avoid your journey today that there is a good idea, and tomorrow. and the department of work and pensions has said job centres will be closed today and tomorrow in areas issued with a red weather warning. that is a big area. it goes from the south—east through the midlands and over into manchester. a large area ofjob centres closing today and tomorrow. notjust for the people who need to go in and find work but also for the staff, staffing will be also for the staff, staffing will be a big issue for the nhs. it is not just us because all of this started, we got a sneak preview in north africa and in southern europe where that heatwave has created terrible conditions for wildfires over the weekend. i don't know if you have seen any of the pictures we have that have come into the bbc.

france evacuated more than 1a,000 people in the south—west, while fires also spread in spain, croatia and greece. authorities in portugal say its fires are contained for now but 659 people — most of them elderly — have died from the heat over the past week. a reminder of that reality of this —— over the last month. it might look and feel like a lovely summers day and some of us might enjoy it, some might think it feels like a holiday but this is serious and will affect a lot of people so we are reflecting on the lives that will be affected and how we can minimise the impact. so just how worried should we be about these temperatures? joining me now is professor richard betts, who is a climate scientist with the met office. good morning. did you ever think that at this point, 2022, we would see temperatures potentially over a0 degrees? see temperatures potentially over 40 decrees? n . , see temperatures potentially over 40 decrees? a . , , , ., see temperatures potentially over 40 derees? , , ., , degrees? actually, yes. i have been workin: in degrees? actually, yes. i have been working in climate _ degrees? actually, yes. i have been working in climate science _ degrees? actually, yes. i have been working in climate science for - degrees? actually, yes. i have been working in climate science for 30 . working in climate science for 30 years and back then we were

predicting the world would warm and the uk would be hotter, as well. unfortunately our predictions from 30 years ago are coming true. how worried should _ 30 years ago are coming true. how worried should we _ 30 years ago are coming true. how worried should we be for the next couple of days to start with? we can talk about the future but for the next couple of days how dangerous could this be? we next couple of days how dangerous could this be?— next couple of days how dangerous could this be? we need to take this very seriously. _ could this be? we need to take this very seriously, this _ could this be? we need to take this very seriously, this is _ could this be? we need to take this very seriously, this is not _ could this be? we need to take this very seriously, this is not normal. | very seriously, this is not normal. climate change has made this heatwave even more severe. we can very well be seeing unprecedented record temperatures. we are not set “p record temperatures. we are not set up for hot temperatures in this country so we need to be very careful in the heat in the daytime and at night time, so we need to take care. this is not normal. carol will have some _ take care. this is not normal. carol will have some tips _ take care. this is not normal. carol will have some tips in _ take care. this is not normal. carol will have some tips in a _ take care. this is not normal. carol will have some tips in a moment i take care. this is not normal. carol will have some tips in a moment and bits of advice but what would you advise people to do? practical things we can do in our daily lives today and tomorrow to make things safer and easier. in today and tomorrow to make things safer and easier.— safer and easier. in the daytime, stay cool. _ safer and easier. in the daytime, stay cool. stay — safer and easier. in the daytime, stay cool, stay out _ safer and easier. in the daytime, stay cool, stay out of _ safer and easier. in the daytime, stay cool, stay out of the - safer and easier. in the daytime, stay cool, stay out of the sun, i safer and easier. in the daytime, l stay cool, stay out of the sun, put on later. ., ., ~ on later. unique one of those like cu on on later. unique one of those like guy on the _ on later. unique one of those like guy on the wt _ on later. unique one of those like guy on the wt i _ on later. unique one of those like guy on the punt. iwill— on later. unique one of those like guy on the punt. i will be - on later. unique one of those like guy on the punt. i will be staying | guy on the punt. i will be staying indoors.

will see if the experience in the next couple of days changes the politics of this. normally you do these outside broadcast by practice and we have to deal with lorries and cars and motorbikes. this morning we had this very beautiful passing punt to deal with as they take donor who keep cool with their parasols. we are on the river cam, this is the most beautiful spots, this pond, that connects onto the main river. a lovely spot to start the day but i was talking to them and they will not be doing that for much of the day, they will abandon mid—morning because it will get far too hot for them. we have got the geese and swans keeping cool, flopping around, that gives a bit of breeze, we need that. i can use my script, as well. if you think you were hot in your house or flat last night — spare a thought for those who spent it in a tent. loads of people have hit campsites for the summer holidays, imagine being in a tent for this.

fi lamdin's at a campsite on exmoor, in somerset. she spent the night. i they happy campers this morning, fi? a bit hot and bothered, i imagine. the? campers this morning, fi? a bit hot and bothered, i imagine.— and bothered, i imagine. they are very happy. _ and bothered, i imagine. they are very happy. especially _ and bothered, i imagine. they are very happy, especially because i and bothered, i imagine. they are| very happy, especially because the eggs and bacon are now under way, the sun is up and the fire is going. let's come over to neil. did you have a hot night in the tent? we had an ace night's sleep, temperate, we have put our tent in the shade so it is nice and cool. you have put our tent in the shade so it is nice and cool.— is nice and cool. you are by the stream, is nice and cool. you are by the stream. did _ is nice and cool. you are by the stream, did you _ is nice and cool. you are by the stream, did you use _ is nice and cool. you are by the stream, did you use that i is nice and cool. you are by the i stream, did you use that yesterday? we had a paddle, it was lovely, nice and cool. , , ., and cool. the campers are cool, cool niuht and cool. the campers are cool, cool nicht in and cool. the campers are cool, cool night in the — and cool. the campers are cool, cool night in the shade _ and cool. the campers are cool, cool night in the shade and _ and cool. the campers are cool, cool night in the shade and with - and cool. the campers are cool, cool night in the shade and with the i night in the shade and with the stream but in the city, how do you keep cool in the city? i have been to bristol to see how they are doing it. straw hats, beach bars and golden sand. but underneath all this is the pavement — as we're actually in bristol city centre. the only drawback? there's nowhere to swim. and for six—year—old eliza — already in her costume — this was a real problem.

how are you feeling? you look very hot. sad! so do you want to go swimming? only boats are allowed in this harbour. we're doing ok, we found some shade, so we're pretty happy now. and temperatures are only expected to climb. anna's decided to keep her six—year—old off school. so her school luckily have said we can take the day off if we want to. so we're planning to keep her at home and find some water and go and keep cool somewhere, rather than send her in. but others don't have that option. cameron and harry's school is fully open. yeah, i think most of the kids are hoping they cancel it, but they've still got to go to school. it'sjust quite tricky to focus due to the weather. well, because we've got our pe kits on, it'll be a bit better, _ but that's really the only thing that's going to change, - so it's not great. but spare a thought for those like jamie, working outside in the sun all day. i work on a roof and we're starting

at 6:00 and finishing at 2:00 instead of starting at 8:00 and finishing at a:00. so... but it will still be so hot on that roof. yeah, it is, yeah. hopefully i'll have plenty of breaks. for others, business is booming in this heat. joseph runs a bar. brings people out, cos everyone's come out, enjoy the sun, have a glass of cold drink. so, yeah, it's good for business, especially when you're outdoors. even if he's having to work really hard at keeping the beer cold. someone else pouring drinks is steve. it's easy for me to get a drink, but the homeless obviously don't get the chance to just go up to a tap and fill up a drink. so he spent the entire afternoon giving them water. ijust pour a cup, but as soon as i see him down a cup, i give him the whole bowl. because you've got to think, you know, he's stuck out here. you look after yourself, yeah? as england's alert rises to red for the first time, a national emergency has been declared.

we have more breakfast over here, bacon and sausages. this is a fire pit, make sure you are safe with your fires. pit, make sure you are safe with yourfires. that pit, make sure you are safe with your fires. that is pit, make sure you are safe with yourfires. that is nice and enclosed. meet nigel, we are in somerset but you have come all the way from perth in australia stop saying that's right, it's amazing, beautiful weather here. were you expecting... you are not expecting quite this weather, you didn't even pack any clothes for your suitcase. you have had to buy everything. that's right, we went shopping again for some _ that's right, we went shopping again for some nice clothes to enjoy the sunshine — for some nice clothes to enjoy the sunshine here. for some nice clothes to en'oy the sunshine here.i sunshine here. you came over in 'um ers sunshine here. you came over in jumpers and _ sunshine here. you came over in jumpers and new _ sunshine here. you came over in jumpers and now you _ sunshine here. you came over in jumpers and now you are - sunshine here. you came over in jumpers and now you are in i sunshine here. you came over in i jumpers and now you are in shorts and t—shirt. living in australia, lots of sun cream, all the safety things? lots of sun cream, all the safety thins? ., , ., ., ., , lots of sun cream, all the safety thins? ., , ., . . , . . things? lots of water and sun cream, aet out things? lots of water and sun cream, get out early — things? lots of water and sun cream, get out early in _ things? lots of water and sun cream, get out early in the _ things? lots of water and sun cream, get out early in the date _ things? lots of water and sun cream, get out early in the date when - things? lots of water and sun cream, get out early in the date when it i things? lots of water and sun cream, get out early in the date when it is i get out early in the date when it is cooler_ get out early in the date when it is cooler and — get out early in the date when it is cooler and try to get indoors when it is the _ cooler and try to get indoors when it is the hottest part of the day. thank _ it is the hottest part of the day. thank you _ it is the hottest part of the day. thank you. you are from denmark.

conservative mps, who will narrow down the field to four. at this stage it looks like tom tugendhat, senior backbencher, former army officer, is most likely to leave the contest at this point. they will then be two more rounds of voting this week before the final two are announced on wednesday afternoon and conservative party members will then vote between those final pair before september the 5th, when the winner is announced. it september the 5th, when the winner is announced-— is announced. it will be an interesting _ is announced. it will be an interesting couple - is announced. it will be an interesting couple of i is announced. it will be an| interesting couple of days. is announced. it will be an - interesting couple of days. jonathan blake in westminster for us this morning. a report into a mass shooting at a primary school in texas in may has found "systemic failures" in the response of the law enforcement officers who attended the scene. 19 children and two teachers were killed when an 18—year—old gunman opened fire at the school in uvalde. the report says that while almost four hundred officers responded, there was a lack of urgency and no one took overall command.

19 children and two teachers killed amid systematic failures and poor decision—making. that's the damning conclusion from the most exhaustive probe of why it took nearly a00 police and other officers more than an hour to confront and kill an 18—year—old gunman here in may, in what texan legislators described as a chaotic scene marked by a lack of clear leadership and sufficient urgency. their report found that law—enforcement responders failed to adhere to their active shooter training and failed to prioritise saving the lives of innocent victims over their own safety, blaming the officers' lackadaisical approach. the people of uvalde, before this, they felt it couldn't happen here. they felt that. that's the false sense of security i worry about. i think some of the same systems that we found here that failed that day are across the entire state and country. that false sense of security started at the robb elementary school's gates.

the five—foot—tall exterior school fence couldn't impede the gunman. exterior and interior doors were unlocked, or propped open, due to non—compliance by school personnel, allowing the gunman to easily enter through an unlocked door. i promise you, i promise you, you do not want this to happen to you. i promise you. last week, relatives of schoolchildren gunned down and seriously injured called for an assault weapons ban, horrified by new footage showing it took officers over 70 minutes to confront the perpetrator. the findings suggest the attacker fired around 100 of approximately 1a2 rounds before any officer entered the school, but adds that victims could have survived if they had not had to wait so long to be rescued. uvalde school district police chief pete arredondo, who many thought was in charge that day, was suspended, pending investigation, and has since resigned.

but the report points out there were better—trained and equipped responders present, as it's release poses another urgent question — whether the security systems in many american schools can be trusted. sylvia lennan—spence, bbc news. the prospect of being sent to rwanda is not deterring asylum seekers from crossing the channel in small boats. that's according to the home affairs select committee. last year 28,500 people came to the uk in small boats. so far this year, 1a,000 have arrived. the home office says its new plan for immigration will support those in genuine need, while preventing illegaljourneys. and here's some showbiz news which may sound like it's 20 years old — but it's actually hot off the press. jenny from the block has become mrs affleck. two decades after they first dated — and 17 years after they split up the first time — jennifer lopez and ben affleck have tied the knot.

and hertfordshire to "conserve reservoir supplies for everyone" — but added it was "working around the clock to maintain supplies". some areas of buckinghamshire, surrey and north london are also affected. we are not intending to impose restrictions to our customers. what we do ask is that they help us to just use water for essential purposes only, things like avoiding hosepipes for watering the garden, cleaning the car. that will help us ensure there is water to flow for all of our customers' taps through this heatwave period. so how is this heatwave affecting you? do get in touch on our e—mail — hellobbclondon@bbc.co.uk. police investigating the disappearance of a woman in east london have discovered a body. 21—year—old hina bashir was reported missing from ilford. her family are being supported by specialist officers. the body was found in havering in the early hours of sunday morning, and a 36—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. let's check the travel situation.

not great news. there are already heat —related issues with a reduced service on all lines. there are also severe delays on the bakerloo, central, district and jubilee lines, the hammersmith and city line is suspeneded and the metropolitan line, and london overgound are part suspended, so check before you travel. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. the temperature has been rising through the weekend, and today it is set to get much hotter. the met office has a red weather warning in place for extreme heat. now, the area we are likely to see the hottest temperatures today are shown here within the red warning zone. there is an amber warning across the south—east, so everywhere is going to get hot temperatures. lots of sunshine today and temperatures getting up to potentially a0 celsius. one or two spots may be a1. outside of the red zone, mid to high 30s. now it is going to be quite a hot and uncomfortable night as well.

it's dry and it's clear. not a lot of sleeping, i would imagine, as the minimum temperature in central london not dropping much below 23 celsius. for tuesday, similar conditions, similar temperatures but we will start to feel the influence of this front, which is heading in towards the evening. but, during the daytime, we have lots of sunshine and the temperature again in the high 30s. it will be a little bit further north tomorrow, where we could see a0 celsius. you will see this band of cloud and rain heading towards us in the evening. some showers potentially and temperatures still quite warm overnight but it does bring some relief. the temperature dropping significantly but it is still hot on wednesday and thursday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now, though, it's back to nina and jon. bye for now. good morning. you are watching bbc

all being advised not to go for runs and stuff. good morning. i think it will be tough even if you are watching it. england are back tomorrow against south africa in the first of their matches in the one—day series. the weather is certainly affecting their sporting schedule at the moment. a couple of race fixtures have been cancelled and more tomorrow. cricket and quarterfinals of the women year is all scheduled to ahead at the moment great conditions yesterday at st andrews. a case of what might have been for rory mcilroy who says he let a first major victory in eight years slip away at the home of golf, as australia's cameron smith produced a sensational final round to claim his first major. mcilroy led for much of the day and some great early play saw him move two shots clear of the field and on course to end that wait for a major. but this was the tale of his round, nothing really dropping for him as he chased another low score. as smith produced a stunning final nine holes, where he made

a whopping six birdies, including one on the 18th to finish on 20 under par, two shots ahead of mcilroy and one clear of america's cameron young. huge crowds to watch him. i'm only human. at the end of the day, i'm not a robot. of course you think about it, and you envision it. you want to envision it. my hotel is directly opposite the big yellow board on 18 there, right at the first. every morning, i go out and try to envision mcilroy as top name on the leaderboard and how that feels. at the start of today it was at the top. but at the start of tomorrow, it won't be. eight years he has been waiting for another major, he is edging ever closer. dina asher—smith finished fourth in the 100 metres at the world athletics championships overnight. she looked confident at the start, but was up against it soon after,

as jamaica led home a one, two, three. shelly—ann fraser—pryce with a record fifth title, at 35. she ran a championship record time — the first person to win five world titles in an individual event. dina, who won silver in this event last time out, upset that she didnt manage to grab a podium place, but does have the 200 metres to come. it sucks. i'm... agh! so close. we've got the 200, which i am definitely, definitely very fired up for. it is good. it was a crazy final. he had to run 10.96 to get in, so... —— you had to run 10.96 to get in, so... happy with my performance, but obviously... katarina johnson—thompson is sixth after the first day of the heptathlon. she's hoping to retain her world title but is trying to get back to her best after a bad run of injuries. afterfour events, one of those a second placed finish in the 200 metres. she's only competed in one full heptathlon since a calf injury saw her collapse to the track at last year's olympics

and is pleased to be fit and healthy and competing again. england will be back to it tomorrow after losing their series decider with india at old trafford by five wickets. jos buttler top scored with 60 as they were all out for 259, but couldn't do anything about rishabh pant�*s 125 not out that saw them home with 47 balls to spare. it's south africa tomorrow for england in durham, with temperatures expected to be in the mid 30s when play gets underway at lunchtime. and the quarter final line up for the women's euros will be completed tonight. the holders the netherlands are through after beating switzerland 4—1 at bramall lane. they'll take on france in the last eight on saturday. the final group games are played later, one final spot up for grabs. sweden top group c after beating portugal 5—0 in their final group match. stina blackstenius with their final goal. they will face the runners up in group d, when that is confirmed later.

and talking of the heat, spare a thought for those competing in the tour de france. race leaderjonas vingegaard came off his bike, but still maintained his overall lead, probably grateful for the break. stage 15 was won by yasper phillipson. britain's geraint thomas remains third in the overall standings behind tadej pogacar. six stages remain, they have a well—earned rest day today. that was after temperatures of a0 degrees yesterday. after two weeks of tough, hard cycling on some of the mountain stages. it is a psychological battle at the best of times. how exhausting it is mentally and physically. a well and break today. enjoy the rest day. there's a new documentary on tv tonight, which sheds light on the incredible skill of cancer surgeons at the royal marsden hospital, in london. it follows eight patients over

the course of a year as they put their lives in some extremely skilled hands. let's take a quick look. i am very lucky to still be here after three and a half years... ..and still having surgeries. this isn't the case for most people who were diagnosed in 2018 with stage iv bowel cancer. most of them aren't here right now. hello. 0k? hello. yes, i'm 0k. hopefully, at the end of the surgery, i'll have no evidence of disease again. it is going to be a risky operation. we're combining three surgical

approaches in one sitting. the complexity will be increased because of the extensive surgery that lizzy's had before. let's speak to the two people we just saw in that clip. lizzie wright and her surgeon ricky bhogal. good to see you both this morning. we saw a part of yourjourney. just explain where you are up to now. i explain where you are up to now. i was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer in 2018, i have been on quite a journey since. i have had lots of chemotherapy and five surgeries now. basically, i have been on treatment ever since. basically, i have been on treatment eversince. right basically, i have been on treatment ever since. right now i havejust finished an chemotherapy and i am waiting for another procedure on my liver called appellation. how are you feeling? i have not had any treatment for about four weeks. i am feeling good, feeling well. he treatment for about four weeks. i am
