i'm live at a campsite in exmoor. the sun is out, the bacon is on, and these campers have a stream just down there to call off and when it gets hotter later. there's a also a heatwave across parts of southern europe as wildfires spread, prompting mass evacuations of residents and tourists. so, what have you changed about your day or your employees�* day or your children's day if you work at a school or nursery? i'm @vicderbyshire on twitter tiktok and instagram. tory leadership rivals attack each other�*s records and policies in their latest tv debate as they vye to become the next prime minister. when we both worked in the treasury, my self and other ministers discussed the issue of covid—19 moving forward. in discussed the issue of covid-19 moving forward.— discussed the issue of covid-19 moving forward. discussed the issue of covid-19 movin: forward. , , ., ., moving forward. in the past you have been both the _ moving forward. in the past you have been both the liberal— moving forward. in the past you have been both the liberal democrats - moving forward. in the past you have been both the liberal democrats and| been both the liberal democrats and remain, _ been both the liberal democrats and remain, i_ been both the liberal democrats and remain, i was been both the liberal democrats and remain, iwasjust been both the liberal democrats and remain, i wasjust wondering which one you _ remain, i wasjust wondering which one you regretted most. ukraine's president fires his security chief and top prosecutor over accusations that members of their departments were collaborating with russia.

the uk could have its hottest day on record this week with temperatures of up to 41 celsius forecast. the met office has issued its first ever red warning for heat across large parts of england, stretching from york and manchester to london and the south—east. and the extreme heat continues tomorrow before cooling on wednesday. the uk health security agency has issued a level—four warning for england, meaning there is a danger to life and the threat of major travel disruption. the government is treating it as a "national emergency". network rail said people should travel only "if absolutely necessary" on monday and tuesday, with some cancellations already

announced, and speed restrictions in place across the network. some schools plan to close early — or not open at all — although the government has issued guidance designed to keep them open. london is set to be one of the hottest places in the world today with temperatures soaring above the western sahara and the caribbean. the capital is forecast to be hotter than the bahamas and kingston injamaica, malaga, in spain and athens, in greece. our climate correspondent jonah fisher has been to see how people 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. as britain's first extreme warning comes into effect, western europe is experiencing its second fierce heatwave in recent weeks, causing wildfires and mass evacuations in several countries. mark lobel reports. almost a week on, the wildfires in the south—west of france continue to spread. more than 14,000 people have been evacuated as two forest fires engulf over 11,000 hectares of land. translation: the developments are not favourable. _ and the next few hours, until monday evening at least, will be tough, even critical. why?

mainly because the winds are going to turn. the portuguese government says over 650 mostly elderly people have died from the heat over the past week. currently, there's more than a dozen fires demanding the attention of over 1,000 firefighters. translation: it will be a very hard job as it's a fire that _ will last for many hours. we will continue on the ground but it will take time. this is why people have been told to leave their homes in parts of spain, hosing down flames in catalonia. this, one of dozens of fires that have appeared over the past week. the heat wave's next stop is england. this was the scene during a heat wave three years ago. train passengers are being warned not to travel on monday unless absolutely necessary, with major cancellations and speed restrictions across the network, as the capital is set to become one

of the hottest places in the world, rising above the western sahara and the caribbean. as the temperatures drew people to the coast over the weekend, the uk's weather office has issued its first ever red warning for extreme heat, cautioning there is a risk to life. scientists say human—induced climate change means heatwaves like these have become more frequent, more intense and last longer. it's terrifying. yesterday, last year, where we live was like completely flooded with rain. we were thinking how different it is today from last year. like, that scares me a lot and it's real. it's serious, and we definitely need to do something about it. to save our planet and the generations that are to come. so it's been a gruelling week across southern europe with hundreds of deaths blamed on soaring temperatures.

and with the heatwave moving to the uk and temperatures in places like spain forecast to remain abnormally high, there is little relief on the horizon. mark lobel, bbc news. fi lamdin�*s at a campsite on exmoor, in somerset. on exmoor, in somerset. how are they coping there? you won't believe this, victoria, when i arrived this morning, it was still pretty cold. because all the tents are in the shade. they are camping literally right next to a stream which is absolutely brilliant, providing all sorts of shade. let's come over and see what they are making for breakfast. we've got some bacon and eggs. eggs cracked beautifully into the pan. we've got bonds on. let me just point out this is a safe fire. be responsible with your fires. is a safe fire. be responsible with yourfires. it is is a safe fire. be responsible with your fires. it is closed. tell us where you have come from. you come

children are already down here, and they are having a little paddle and a little splash. look at that. that is just such a nice view. it is in the shade, and it is cool. obviously, you have to stay safe by the water, but it is very nice and shallow that water. i think probably give it another couple of hours on this stretch of water will be incredibly busy. it is going to leave you with that lovely shut to cool you down wherever you might be watching this. we are a bitjealous. thank you very much. it looks absolutely lovely. the government has convened a special cobra meeting to respond to the heatwave, chaired by kit malthouse. i think we should be concerned and sensible. we i think we should be concerned and sensible. ~ . �* i think we should be concerned and sensible. ~ ., �* , . sensible. we haven't experienced these kind of— sensible. we haven't experienced these kind of temperatures - sensible. we haven't experienced i these kind of temperatures before. there is a 50 degrees —— there is a 50% chance that we will reach the

still going on in the region here. the latest update we had from authorities last night was that the situation was deteriorating, both here, and in anotherfire in land. why? the heat has been a huge problem and rising, temperatures today are going to pose challenges for firefighters as well, and changing winds. we heard yesterday that this fire near the atlantic coast had pushed to the shore, and there were videos emerging and social media of people who were on boats, on the sea, taking videos of raging fires that have torn through the virus here, and then on land as well, what we're hearing is many thousands of hectares have been burnt through, and this is a region known for its forest and beaches as well, a holiday destination, too. thank you very much for talking to

us. for the very latest information on how to stay cool, and guard against heat exhaustion... the headlines on bbc news... britain's first—ever red extreme heat warning comes into effect for most of england as the country gets ready for what could become the hottest day on record and london one of the hottest places in the world. high temperatures are forecast across the uk, with amber warnings in the rest of england, all of wales, and parts of scotland. there's a also a heatwave across parts of southern europe as wildfires spread, prompting mass evacuations of residents and tourists. one of the five remaining candidates for the conservative party leadership will be eliminated tonight, when tory mps vote again. last night the hopefuls clashed over the cost of living and brexit, in their second live

televised debate. our political correspondent, ben wright, was watching. there's plenty ofjeopardy with these debates. front—runners hoping to hold their advantage and not trip up. 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 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 them 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. our political correspondent is jonathan blake. just tell our view is what happens today because they might have lost

night, is going beyond the closely fought contest and straying into territory of candidates tearing chunks out of each other and picking over the —— picking over their records and governments over the last four years. yes, they are in the same side, you have to remind yourselves of that at some points during the debate last night. what sets tom tugendhat apart from the rest is that he has not served in government. the others, some more or less associated with borisjohnson in cabinet. but you are seeing dividing lines emerge. last night, i think it was striking, the fiercest clashes between rishi sunak and liz truss about what they would do if they won. and maybe liz truss can pick up some votes and try to edge out penny mordaunt who has had the momentum up until now, coming from a place of relative obscurity into

second place. but tonight's vote will be crucial, and we will see how that goes. will be crucial, and we will see how that noes. . ~ will be crucial, and we will see how that noes. ., ~ , ., , will be crucial, and we will see how that noes. . ~' ,, , . joining me now is patrick english, political research manager at polling firm yougov. hello. who has got momentum? i think thatis hello. who has got momentum? i think that is a very interesting question. certainly when we did a snap last week it was penny mordaunt. she was dominating the contest. then, coming into the debate, if you look at the polling, and certainly who performed the best, penny mordaunt had a fun —— | the best, penny mordaunt had a fun —— i don't think penny mordaunt had a fantastic time of it. rishi sunak and liz truss performed a little bit better. rishi sunak was trying to give up a sense that she was trying to get into this contest. d0 give up a sense that she was trying to get into this contest.— to get into this contest. do you think that _

integrity, the ability to unite the party. there is a feeling under conservative membership right now that the last few years, 30% of them, they can think the conservative party does not represent the values. so they are looking for someone who can provide a breakfrom looking for someone who can provide a break from that chaotic style and a break from that chaotic style and a different approach to running the party and country and who can compensate with honesty and integrity with things we hear from the members every time we have a poll like this. the members every time we have a poll like this-— president zelensky has sacked his security chief and top prosecutor over accusations that some members of their departments were collaborating with russia. of the sacked officials, one is a childhood friend of the president, while the other has played a key role in the prosecution of russian war crimes. in a televised address mr zelensky

said over six—hundred cases of collaboration and treason have been opened against law enforcement officials. translation: more than 60 employees of the prosecutor's office _ and security service of ukraine have remained in the occupied territory and are working against our state. the former head of the main department of the security service in the autonomous republic of crimea was detained. i dismissed him, back in the beginning of the full—scale invasion. as we can see, the decision was justified. sufficient evidence has been collected to give a notice of suspicion of state treason to this person. our correspondent, joe inwood joins me from kyiv. this is quite extraordinary. what sort of evidence do we think president zelensky has? they did not

live us that president zelensky has? they did not give us that information, _ president zelensky has? they did not give us that information, what - president zelensky has? they did not give us that information, what they i give us that information, what they were talking about, though, was the scale of this problem. hundred and 50 people investigated for treason. one thing to say, victoria, in the last couple of minutes, we have received a clarification from the office of the president saying actually they are suspended at the moment rather than permanently dismissed. i think it was not quite clear last night, but it was interpreted as a dismissal but actually they are saying this is a suspension with an idea that he could come back. the reason they are saying that is that while the investigations are ongoing, they want the people who were in charge at the time of the alleged offences not to be involved in the process. so they have me back clarification, but still serious development. what but still serious development. what are they accused _ but still serious development. what are they accused of _ but still serious development. what are they accused of doing? it - are they accused of doing? it varies. basically of committing treason, collaborating with the russians, working for the russians

from within side the security service or practice a cuter to pass my office. at the best of times, they work in the shadows, so something like this, they would keep it very secret. indeed, some people are quite surprised that this has come out in public at all but i guess they could not really avoid that fact. in the aggregate, what they are accused of doing is undermining ukraine defences at a crucial moment, as the russian invasion started. in some parts of the country, the defence has held the country, the defence has held the russians indeed. they seem to have some defence from their side in the ukrainian buzz might use that to their advances. the ukrainian buzz might use that to theiradvances. i the ukrainian buzz might use that to their advances. i think it is the south we are talking about particularly. he talked about the head of the secret services and crime in it —— in crimea. i think it is that southern front where the resistance, the attempt to stall the russians was undermined really fatally at some points by the alleged actions of these people. thank you very much, joe.

now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas. the temperatures are starting to rise rapidly now, and of course the met office have issued a red extreme heat warning across must shove central and south—eastern england. more widely there is an amber extreme heat warning across wales and southern scotland as well. across these areas you are likely to see severe impacts to health and infrastructure as well. long spells of hutson shane across the board, really. the hottest spots will topple around a0 celsius around the london region. further north not as hot, but still high 20s across the north of scotland, for instance. overnight, stays quite hot, muggy and humid, 20s in the south and high teens further north. tomorrow could be even hotter. further west, we have some showers and slightly

fresher air moving in, have some showers and slightly fresherair moving in, but have some showers and slightly fresher air moving in, but the hottest spots in southern england could reach a1 or even a2 tomorrow. hello this is bbc news. i'm victoria derbyshire and these are the headlines... britain's first—ever red extreme heat warning comes into effect for most of england as the country gets ready for what could become the hottest day on record and london one of the hottest places in the world. high temperatures are forecast across the uk, with amber warnings in the rest of england, all of wales, and parts of scotland. there's a also a heatwave across parts of southern europe as wildfires spread, prompting mass evacuations of residents and tourists. tory leadership rivals attack each other�*s records and policies in their latest tv debate as they vye to become the next prime minister. ukraine's president fires his security chief and top prosecutor over accusations that members of their departments

were collaborating with russia. sport, and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. good morning. the sporting schedule continues despite the extreme heat, race fixtures have been canclled today, but boadly the sporting scehdule unaffected. yesterday it was australia's cameron smith who capitalised on some fine conditions to produce a sensational final round to win the open championship at st andrews. as rory mcilroy was left to rue what might have been. he had led for much of the day and some great early play saw him move two shots clear of the field and looking like ending his eight—year wait for a major. but smith produced a stunning back nine, 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. 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 room is directly opposite the big yellow board on 18 there, right at the first. every morning, i look 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. 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 1—2—3. 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

connection between climate change and these heat waves across europe. at the moment we are not entirely sure if climate change is specifically to blame for this heatwave, but obviously in the recent past we have seen that climate change has caused heatwaves over the last few years and so i think it is very likely this is also going to be caused by climate change. it's important to understand the climate system is complicated and there are many different factors at play. the combination of the heat that's coming earlier and the drying... all these things combine and that's what makes it so challenging and difficult. and then the experience is quite extreme for people who are not used to it, like here in the uk. {iii people who are not used to it, like here in the uk.— here in the uk. of course. if it does turn _ here in the uk. of course. if it does turn out _ here in the uk. of course. if it does turn out to _ here in the uk. of course. if it does turn out to be _ here in the uk. of course. if it does turn out to be because i here in the uk. of course. if it| does turn out to be because of climate change, caused by human beings, what is it that we are doing thatis beings, what is it that we are doing that is contributing to this? its

greenhouse gases, primarily the emission of fossil fuels in the energy industry and transport. the met office has shown a study that we can expect that if we don't do anything about these emissions that by the end of the century we will be looking at these kind of a0 degrees daysin looking at these kind of a0 degrees days in the uk every three or four years. but if we actually take action and reduce emissions we are looking like every 15 years. we are still on track to have the climate warming increasing but we can actually reduce, by reducing emissions we have a chance to make it less uncomfortable.— it less uncomfortable. understood. in the meantime, _ it less uncomfortable. understood. in the meantime, what _ it less uncomfortable. understood. in the meantime, what can - it less uncomfortable. understood. in the meantime, what can the - it less uncomfortable. understood. in the meantime, what can the uk| in the meantime, what can the uk learn from hot tub parts of the world? i learn from hot tub parts of the world? ~ ., , learn from hot tub parts of the world? ~ . , ~ , ~ learn from hot tub parts of the world? ~ ., , ~ , . ., world? i think that is key. we are re world? i think that is key. we are pretty aware _ world? i think that is key. we are pretty aware of — world? i think that is key. we are pretty aware of the _ world? i think that is key. we are pretty aware of the heatwave - world? i think that is key. we are| pretty aware of the heatwave that was in india and south asia earlier this year. there are a lot of lessons we can draw from there in

terms of immediate responses. stay out of the sun, the kind of things you find on the nhs website, tips for how to keep cool. the uk government also has warnings on their website and explanations for things people should do and not do. more long term, it's about thinking about housing and other kinds of infrastructure and bigger types of change we need to do. these are not things we can just do tomorrow in order to relieve people but we saw during the 2003 heatwave in europe many elderly died in part because of housing and where they were sleeping, they simply couldn't get cool air. sleeping, they simply couldn't get coolair. it's sleeping, they simply couldn't get cool air. it's important to learn these lessons from europe, we can make changes. these lessons from europe, we can make changes-— these lessons from europe, we can make chances. ., . ., , ., make changes. those are changes over the lona make changes. those are changes over the long term- — make changes. those are changes over the long term. those _ make changes. those are changes over the long term. those are _ make changes. those are changes over the long term. those are decisions - the long term. those are decisions for politicians, of course. i have noticed two cats asleep on a furry

really is a chance for the year six sport leaders to lead and have the opportunity to be the responsible children in school and lead their houses in sport. it would traditionally have been races and javelin, foam javelin and things like that. so we will go into the woods this afternoon and we will call it how is this afternoon. the sports leaders will still have the opportunity to shine and that rite of passage before they leave for secondary school. and we will do different low energy things like building dens, water painting. i have put some wet t—shirts in the freezer and we will have a competition to see if the house captains can put a frozen t—shirt on. things like that, fun but a bit more calm and still have a slightly competitive element to them as well. that sounds absolutely fantastic, i have to say. it was a long time ago but when you use to go outside for lessons and messing about at school,

health, particularly vulnerable customers. please be careful with nonessential water use. we are seeing record levels of demand at the moment, 20 or 30% more water use across the board and in some cases that means the demand for water is outstripping our ability to extract, treat and pump water into homes and businesses. customers might experience low pressure or even no water at all for a period of time. the second bit is that we have only had, over the last 11 months, the second bit is that we have only had, overthe last 11 months, nine of those months have been significantly below average rainfall in london and the south—east, meaning we are not starting the summer period off at the perfect situation we always want to be. with the high demand for water right now we are going through it faster than we are going through it faster than we would like.— we would like. where are you on whether using _ we would like. where are you on whether using a _ we would like. where are you on whether using a hosepipe - we would like. where are you on whether using a hosepipe if - we would like. where are you on whether using a hosepipe if you | we would like. where are you on - whether using a hosepipe if you have a garden is a waste of water at the moment? we a garden is a waste of water at the moment? ~ ., ., ._ , ., , a garden is a waste of water at the moment? ~ ., ., , ., , ., moment? we would always advise that the crass moment? we would always advise that the grass goes — moment? we would always advise that

one of the remaining five contenders vying to become prime minister will be eliminated in a vote by conservative mps today. the rivals clashed during an ill—tempered debate on itv last night. rishi sunak was attacked for raising taxes as chancellor. he accused the foreign secretary, liz truss, of peddling — in his words — "something—for—nothing economics". we're joined now from westminster by the conservative mp liam fox, who is supporting rishi sunak�*s bid to become prime minister. hello to you. how did you think your mandate? i hello to you. how did you think your mandate? ., , mandate? i thought he did very well last niaht, mandate? i thought he did very well last night. as _ mandate? i thought he did very well last night. as he _ mandate? i thought he did very well last night, as he had _ mandate? i thought he did very well last night, as he had done _ mandate? i thought he did very well last night, as he had done in - mandate? i thought he did very well last night, as he had done in the - last night, as he had done in the previous debate. i think the key thing for me is that the candidate will have to be prime minister in just a few weeks' time. it's not like having a leadership contest in opposition for example where they have several years to prepare. i think it was about which candidate was on top of the detail, which candidate was knowledgeable across a

range of issues, economics, foreign policy, environment policy, and which looked relaxed and confident and looked like a prime minister and i think rishi sunak scored in every one of those areas. that i think rishi sunak scored in every one of those areas.— one of those areas. that he is a tax-raising. _ one of those areas. that he is a tax-raising, covid _ one of those areas. that he is a tax-raising, covid lawbreakingl tax—raising, covid lawbreaking politician. in tax-raising, covid lawbreaking olitician. , ., ., , politician. in terms of taxes, if eo - le politician. in terms of taxes, if people want — politician. in terms of taxes, if people want us _ politician. in terms of taxes, if people want us to _ politician. in terms of taxes, if people want us to spend - politician. in terms of taxes, if people want us to spend a - politician. in terms of taxes, if people want us to spend a lot| politician. in terms of taxes, if - people want us to spend a lot more money on things like health care, the money has to come from somewhere. it either comes from borrowing, and that leads to more debt for the next generation. this year we already have a record high debt interest payments to make. that is a lot of tax payers money that goes for nothing at all. i don't want to see borrowing raised any more. the alternatives therefore are to tax. a tax also has an impact on the economy in terms of growth, so you want to minimise that. the other thing is how to get more growth in the economy. i would like to see more debate on that over the next few days and on wednesday we will

see the government publish the financial services bill, largely written by rishi sunak when he was chancellor. but how do we get money to real businesses, to help them grow in this country and generate wealth? that's ultimately how we get both spending without having to tax for it. we both spending without having to tax for it. ~ ~' ., both spending without having to tax for it. ~ ~ ., ., ,., , both spending without having to tax for it. ~ ~ ., ., , , for it. we know the reasons why the chancellor and _ for it. we know the reasons why the chancellor and prime _ for it. we know the reasons why the chancellor and prime minister - for it. we know the reasons why the chancellor and prime minister boris| chancellor and prime minister boris johnson raised national insurance, for example. they explained this to help with the cost of the pandemic and fund the nhs, get rid of the backlog and at some point to pay for their social care plan, although i am not clear exactly what that plan is. can you tell me how raising taxes helps grow the economy. raising taxes does not help grow the economy. if you raise taxes it has an impact on growth and the economy. it's something you want to do as little as possible. counterbalancing the rise in national insurance was the rise in national insurance was the rise in the national insurance threshold meaning that for 70% of workers they will be better off than they were at the beginning of the

year. nonetheless, the general debate needs to be tackled in the country. frankly if we want to have tax cuts, they need to be earned, which is why rishi sunak is backed by three previous conservative chancellors who say it is the sensible way forward, and he is backed by the institute for fiscal studies which says you just can't cut taxes and borrow money, which is inflationary. we have to listen to that. if there was a magic way to get taxes down and spending up, someone would have found it. if it sounds too good to be true, frankly, it's because it is. i sounds too good to be true, frankly, it's because it is.— it's because it is. i haven't heard rishi sunak _ it's because it is. i haven't heard rishi sunak explain _ it's because it is. i haven't heard rishi sunak explain how - it's because it is. i haven't heard rishi sunak explain how he - it's because it is. i haven't heard | rishi sunak explain how he might it's because it is. i haven't heard - rishi sunak explain how he might be able to control inflation, which i know is mostly down to the bank of england, which is independent. and i have not heard his plan for growing the economy despite these tax rises. as you correctly say, basically there are two pressures on inflation at the moment. one is the international commodities we are seeing, fuel prices in particular, being exacerbated by the war in

ukraine and two teen's actions there. and then there is the argument about an additional level of inflation over expansion of monetary policy. —— and putin's actions there. the bank of ingot have already acted to some degree so we will probably see inflation fall over the next year so we have to grow the economy to get taxes down. —— the bank of england. he has been talking a lot about how we can help insurance companies in britain help to invest more in small businesses and help them grow more easily at a time when they are finding it difficult to get money from banks. these are perfectly sensible ways in which in the future we can generate more wealth for the country and enable us to spend money without having to raise taxes. is enable us to spend money without having to raise taxes.— having to raise taxes. is that it?! insurance — having to raise taxes. is that it?! insurance company _ having to raise taxes. is that it?! insurance company is _ having to raise taxes. is that it?! insurance company is helping - having to raise taxes. is that it?! insurance company is helping to | insurance company is helping to incentivise small businesses? is that the plan? if incentivise small businesses? is that the plan?— that the plan? if you look at the amount of— that the plan? if you look at the amount of money _ that the plan? if you look at the amount of money held - that the plan? if you look at the amount of money held by - that the plan? if you look at the - amount of money held by insurance companies, they are sitting at about

130% of gdp. when we get reform of services, that's a crucial way to get money to small businesses. we can't get our economy moving unless we have more innovation and creativity in the economy and one of the problems britain has tended to face over the last couple of decades is that a lot of small businesses and therefore the intellectual property that goes with them, tends to migrate out of the uk and often to migrate out of the uk and often to the united states. we need to keep them with us and make sure we get more of our big investment fund is able to get money into those businesses, which we have not been able to do because of regulation in the uk. when he talks about deregulation and talks about how we get the city to work better, it means getting money to small businesses, which ultimately are the biggest employers in the country and they are the future of competitiveness and wealth creation in britain. ~ , in britain. do you think if rishi sunak gets — in britain. do you think if rishi sunak gets the _ in britain. do you think if rishi sunak gets the job, _ in britain. do you think if rishi sunak gets the job, that - in britain. do you think if rishi sunak gets the job, that he i in britain. do you think if rishi - sunak gets the job, that he should

one took overall command. sylvia lennan—spence has the details. 19 children and two teachers killed amidst systemic 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 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 gate. the five—foot—tall gates couldn't impede the gunman, exterior and interior doors were unlocked or propped open due to noncompliance 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 school children gunned down and seriously injured called for an assault weapons ban, horrified by new footage showing it took officers more than 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 victims could have survived if they had not had to wait so long to be rescued.

the uvalde school district police chief pete redondo, —— pete arredondo. who many thought was in charge that day, was suspended pending an investigation and has since resigned, but the report points out there were better trained and equipped responders present, as its release poses another urgent question as to 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. 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 mps, 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. european bison have been released into the kent countryside to help restore the area to its natural state. bison disappeared from the british isles over 1,000 years ago. now four have been reintroduced to the west blean and thornden woods near canterbury. it's hoped their reintroduction will bring a number of benefits. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith—lucas. hello. the unprecedented high temperatures we are set to see over the next few days has prompted the met office

to release extreme heat warnings. there's going to be severe impacts to health and infrastructure through today and tomorrow as well. now, this is the zone where we've got the red extreme warning in force, across much of central and south—eastern england, with temperatures here topping a0 degrees or more in a few spots. more widely across england, wales, southern and south—east scotland, an amber extreme heat warning. now we are likely to break the all—time temperature records across much of the uk — for england, wales and for scotland — by several degrees, potentially, through today and tomorrow as well. so that hot air drifting its way up from the south at the moment. it's been exceptionally hot across portugal, spain and france, making its way across the uk now. so long spells of strong sunshine across the board, really. it is looking dry and it's looking extremely hot, certainly a day for seeking out the shade, staying well hydrated. a0 degrees or so in the hottest spots in the south—east. even the high 20s for central and northern scotland and northern ireland as well. and those temperatures aren't

going to fall away quickly through this evening and overnight. it's going to feel very hot and very humid for sleeping. down towards the south, in fact, temperatures are still sticking in the low 20s. further north, typically the high teens. tuesday again is going to start off on a hot note and it's only going to get hotter through the course of the day. so eventually, late on tuesday, we will see some fresh air working through from the west as these weather fronts approach but before they get there they are dragging up again these southerly or south—easterly winds, bringing exceptionally hot air to much of the uk. so there will be some showers arriving for southwest england, wales, northern ireland and western scotland later in the day. but dry elsewhere and i think the peak of the heat will be across parts of eastern england, eastern scotland as well. somewhere like cambridge for instance could hit temperatures as high as a1 or a2 degrees, so dangerous heat through today and tomorrow. moving through tuesday night into wednesday, eventually this area of low pressure delivers weather fronts which will bring some outbreaks of rain. that'll be really welcome rainfall in fact through

the middle part of the week. this is the wettest spot, particularly across north—west england, western scotland as well. and temperatures more typical of the time of year by wednesday, the high teens, the mid to high 20s further south. bye— bye.

hello, this is bbc news. i'm victoria derbyshire. here are the headlines from the uk and around the world. a heatwave in parts of southern europe sees wildfires spread across large areas, prompting mass evacuations of residents and tourists. i'm in the area of la teste—de—buch, where one of the main fires here in the gironde region has been raging for nearly a week now, the road here pretty much closed to motor traffic. britain's first—ever red extreme heat warning comes into effect for most of england as the country gets ready for what could become the hottest day on record and london one of the hottest places in the world. high temperatures are forecast across the uk — with amber warnings in the rest

of england, all of wales, and parts of scotland with warnings of travel disruption.
