good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at one. the uk's first ever red warning for extreme heat has come into effect, meaning there's a danger to life and the threat of major travel disruption. the red alert covers much of england from london and the south—east up to york and manchester. parts of england could be hotter than the western sahara and the caribbean. tomorrow temperatures could exceed a0 degrees in southern england, which would be a new record in britain. which would be a new an amber alert is also in place across england, wales and parts of scotland. network rail say people should travel only "if absolutely necessary" and some schools plan to close early — or not open at all. our correspondent celestina olulode has this report. not your usual morning offering at king's cross station. at 10.30 this morning, temperatures had already

passed 30 celsius, which meant some trains were cancelled. much of london underground is already affected, with some lines running slower. this is usually one of the busiest stations in the country, but not today, with many passengers following advice and avoiding travel. tomorrow, there won't actually be any rail services from the station at all, as we are expecting even hotter temperatures. tomorrow i will be working from home. it hampers travel a bit, and it also takes away the magic of summer. ., ., ~ ., summer. looks like i might not get back to crewe _ summer. looks like i might not get back to crewe today _ summer. looks like i might not get back to crewe today because - summer. looks like i might not get back to crewe today because of- summer. looks like i might not get back to crewe today because of thei back to crewe today because of the heat, _ back to crewe today because of the heat. and _ back to crewe today because of the heat. and i — back to crewe today because of the heat, and i won't get back tomorrow. no trains_ heat, and i won't get back tomorrow. no trains tomorrow. i am heat, and i won't get back tomorrow. no trains tomorrow.— no trains tomorrow. i am going to stay inside — no trains tomorrow. i am going to stay inside with _ no trains tomorrow. i am going to stay inside with air _ no trains tomorrow. i am going to stay inside with air conditioning, l stay inside with air conditioning, waiting — stay inside with air conditioning, waiting for— stay inside with air conditioning, waiting for things _ stay inside with air conditioning, waiting for things to _ stay inside with air conditioning, waiting for things to be - stay inside with air conditioning, waiting for things to be quiet, i stay inside with air conditioning, i waiting for things to be quiet, and then go— waiting for things to be quiet, and then go to — waiting for things to be quiet, and then go to a — waiting for things to be quiet, and then go to a hotel— waiting for things to be quiet, and then go to a hotel in— waiting for things to be quiet, and then go to a hotel in the evening. | then go to a hotel in the evening. that's_ then go to a hotel in the evening. that's what— then go to a hotel in the evening. that's what i'm _ then go to a hotel in the evening. that's what i'm going _ then go to a hotel in the evening. that's what i'm going to - then go to a hotel in the evening. that's what i'm going to do. - then go to a hotel in the evening. that's what i'm going to do. a. then go to a hotel in the evening. that's what i'm going to do. a busy da for that's what i'm going to do. a busy day for the — that's what i'm going to do. a busy day for the ambulance _ that's what i'm going to do. a busy day for the ambulance service, - that's what i'm going to do. a busy| day for the ambulance service, with 8000 cores expected today, up from

i think we've been slightly overtaken by a bit of a nanny state on this one, but that's my own view. we've got extra shaded areas. we may have to change judging times a little bit, depending on whatever happens. but the show will go on. the advice for the next couple of days is, if you can, change your plans. but it's important to understand that this isn't a one—off, a freak weather event. it's something that we are going to have to get used to. for as long as our emissions continue to warm the planet, and at the moment temperatures are rising by 0.25 degrees every ten years, heat waves like this one are going to become more frequent and more intense. this particular hot weather system has made its way north from southern europe, where it has led to temperatures in the mid—40s and devastating forest fires. climate change scientists say it will be no surprise to them if temperature records are broken across the uk. heatwaves is one of the clearest

signs in extreme weather of human influence on climate. it's one of the extreme weather events we can be most confident about our being affected by rising global temperature. 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 to cut emissions has not proved simple politically. this heatwave is an uncomfortable reminder of how much still needs to be done. jonah fisher, bbc news. 0ur transport correspondent katy austin is here. how is all this affecting our transport networks right now? well, our own way is engineered to run normally between an air temperature range of —10 celsius and

about 30 to 35 degrees. the whales are made of steel. they get a lot hotter than the air and when they get really hot, they expand —— the rails expand. that means the track could buckle and overhead cables could buckle and overhead cables could also psych and be damaged as trains come through. 0ne could also psych and be damaged as trains come through. one way of reducing those risks is to run trains slower. so we currently have speed restrictions in place around the country, with some trains running at 90 mph, some at mass per hour, some as low as 20 mph in a really vulnerable spots. all this means delays and cancellations in some places, journey taking longer. a lot of people have clearly heeded the advice to avoid rail travel, things were a bit quieter than normal this morning. looking ahead, network rail says yes, there will be a need in future to change engineering standards to cope with the higher temperatures we are expecting. tomorrow, there will also

be speed restrictions starting earlier than they did today. actually, a large section of the east coast main line between london and york and leeds will be completely closed in the afternoon, with some operators on that route not running trains for the whole day. what about the roads? drivers have been warned there could be more breakdowns in the heat, so they should avoid the hottest part of the day and make sure if they are going out, the vehicles are prepared with enough coolant. and there are fears that some road surfaces could even melt. we have had some councils putting their grit is on standby so they can put sand out to try and help. but national highways told me the main roads are highly resilient to hot weather and there have been no instances, they say, of road surfaces melting during the current high temperatures. kata; surfaces melting during the current high temperatures.— high temperatures. katy austin there. let's get an update on the picture around the uk. in a moment we'll talk to to our correspondent

katie hunter in scotland, but first let's talk to our wales correspondent hywel griffith in builth wells. yes, iam yes, i am at the royal welsh show, the biggest agricultural show has been postponed since 2019 because of the pandemic, but back this year with a bang and in sweltering conditions. the forecast here in builth wells is for the temperature to reach 36 degrees. if it does, that will be a new welsh record. but in some parts of wales, it could creep up to 38. while wales is under an amber alert rather than red, there are still plenty of people taking precautions. as you might have seen injonah fischer's report, animal welfare is a big concern, so there is sunscreen on the pigs, fans in the sheet end. the humans have also seen plenty of people queueing for water, seeking shade. it may be that some people decide to postpone their visit from today to let in the week. they normally get 50,000 to

60,000 people a day here. there has been so much anticipation, but some people may want to wait a day or two. elsewhere in wales, temperatures have reached 33 degrees in west wales. and while there are not many train cancellations, the transport system have had to slow down to cope with the heat. it's a relatively mild 28 degrees here in south queensferry this lunchtime and there is a bit of a breeze, so it is bearable. the record temperature for scotland is 32.9 celsius, set in 2003 in the scottish borders. forecasters think that will be broken tomorrow. we have an amber warning for heat in place for the south of scotland and parts of the east of the country up to perth and dundee. so although we don't have the red warning here, people are being asked to take precautions, drink lots of water, stay in the shade and check on vulnerable neighbours. also a plea to people heading to the coast, rivers and lochs to be careful. the

weather is beautiful, but of course the water can be deceptively cold and that can lead to cold water shock. with regard to public transport, there will be some speed restrictions in place. scotrail say there will be speed restrictions in place from 1pm until 8pm. finally, this heatwave isn't affecting everywhere in scotland today. it is a cool 1a celsius in shetland. katie a cool 14 celsius in shetland. katie hunter reporting. _ meanwhile, soaring temperatures also continue across southern europe. france has evacuated more than 16,000 people threatened by wildfires in the south—west. and in portugal and spain, more than 1,000 deaths have been attributed to the heat in recent days. 0ur correspondent bethany bell has this report. wildfires continue to rage in france after days of intense heat. emergency workers battled the flames south of bordeaux. it's difficult and dangerous work.

the french government is sending another 200 firefighters to the region. in north—western spain, a fireman died in action last night. fires are causing widespread damage in catalonia and several other parts of the country. in the hills around malaga, a major tourist area, there is relief. last night, a fire that had been blazing since friday was finally brought under control. the fire destroyed big parts of the woods on top of this hill above the small tourist town of mijas, which is not very far away from the beach resorts of the costa del sol. around 3,000 people were evacuated here. now they are returning to their homes.

yesterday we met yvonne and her daughter charlotte just after they got back to their holiday villa. we were by the pool for most of the day and the fire looked as though it was very much under control, with not a lot of smoke at all. and then later in the afternoon, the smoke just became black smoke very quickly. huge, like a ball of fire went up, and the mountain just burst into flames with the flames running down the mountain towards us very, very quickly. it went from an in—control situation to a very much out—of—control situation in a really short space of time. with bone—dry conditions in the countryside, the authorities remain on high alert. bethany bell, bbc news, malaga. 0ur correspondentjessica parker is in south—west france. there has been a grave warning from the authorities about the heat?—

about the heat? yes, there has. obviously. _ about the heat? yes, there has. obviously, temperatures - about the heat? yes, there has. | obviously, temperatures soaring 0bviously, temperatures soaring today, picking up a a0 degrees here while these wildfires continue. that is a local evacuation centre, by the way. we were here a couple of days ago when the air was clear, but today you can smell and taste the smoke as those wildfires continue to rage. the winds around here have been described as unstable and the fire spreading. we havejust heard in the last hour that a further 5000 people are set to be evacuated from the local area. some of them will be coming straight here. the authorities are saying it is because of the smoke, not because those towns or villages are at threat of the fight itself, but it is the smoke and the health risks around that. further inland, another blaze and further evacuations. firefighters of course are continuing to try and tackle these fierce blazes, but at the moment this afternoon, here in south—western france, the situation does feel quite volatile. south-western france, the situation does feel quite volatile.— does feel quite volatile. jessica parker reporting. _

surprise is the apparent scale of it, and the fact that this may have had a really material impact on the outcome of this war. by definition secret services operate in the shadows so the information and the details have not come out. they are not that specific. but the picture we are getting is of failings in the security services at a time when it couldn't have been more costly. thank you very much, that'sjoe inwood reporting. the law enforcement response to the mass shootings at an elementary school in the us state of texas has been strongly criticised by a preliminary report, which says there were �*systemic failures' and very poor decision—making. 19 children and two teachers were killed by a lone gunman at uvalde in may. it took more than an hour for officers to confront and kill the attacker. 0ur correspondent mark lobel has this report. 19 children and two teachers killed amid 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 a 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,
