have seen more burning this year since 2017. that was the year when we had those terrible fires injune when 66 people died and of course thatis when 66 people died and of course that is a memory that people still carry with them, a trauma and people are constantly referring back to that situation and seeing whether communication has improved, coordination has improved. it seems to, and there seems to be more successful prevention than in the past, but we will have to see whether firefighters can continue to keep most of these places under control. ., ., ., , control. you mentioned there has been some _ control. you mentioned there has been some respite _ control. you mentioned there has been some respite over— control. you mentioned there has been some respite over the - been some respite over the temperatures this past weekend, but what is the forecast? will it continue as the fires are being battle? , , ., ., ., , battle? yes, they are going to stay below 40 degrees, _ battle? yes, they are going to stay below 40 degrees, but _ battle? yes, they are going to stay below 40 degrees, but they - battle? yes, they are going to stay below 40 degrees, but they might| battle? yes, they are going to stay i below 40 degrees, but they might go below a0 degrees, but they might go up below a0 degrees, but they might go up a little towards thursday and friday and in terms of the fire risk, more of the country will be under extreme fire risk at that time

firefighting planes there is not any nearby large enough water sources to use to bring water to the fires. scientists are warning that these heat waves are going to become more regular as climate change continues. were going to hearfrom our climb a desperate climate correspondent. this is not a one—off, this is something that were going to have to get use to. for as long as our emissions continue to warm the planet, at the moment temperatures are rising at a quarter of a degree every ten years, heat waves like this one are going to become more frequent and more intense. some leaders have been explicitly connecting this heatwave with climate change. here is prime and a shirt sanchez in spain. translation: . more than 70,000 hectares have been destroyed — . more than 70,000 hectares have been destroyed as _ . more than 70,000 hectares have been destroyed as a _ . more than 70,000 hectares have been destroyed as a result - . more than 70,000 hectares have been destroyed as a result of- . more than 70,000 hectares have been destroyed as a result of fire l been destroyed as a result of fire so far this year it in our country. that is almost double the average of the last decade. all these fires are caused by heat waves due to the

being told. as we talk about the wildfires, i'm being told by all the scientists and the studies i've seen that almost all of the regions except for the savannahs where they see a little bit of degrees, in the rest of the forest, it is all going up rest of the forest, it is all going up and there is going to be a 1a% increase projected of extreme fires. i was talking about the extreme pressures and morocco, as you report on developing countries, to what degrees are heat waves and climate change impacting on their people's livelihoods? , r change impacting on their people's livelihoods?— livelihoods? pretty much the same story everywhere _ livelihoods? pretty much the same story everywhere except _ livelihoods? pretty much the same story everywhere except there - livelihoods? pretty much the same l story everywhere except there might be some places where other factors might also contributed like where we looked into it was a deliberate fire, people trying to secure land and so on and soar forth. fire, people trying to secure land and so on and soarforth. again, it is the same story, if you have tinderbox condition, what experts

say extreme fire weather, that is what you have everywhere. this is the difference, when we see what is happening in france, portugal and spain, you are seeing the fire trucks, planes dumping thousands of tonnes of water. what's happening in the other parts of the world, especially in poor countries, with we looked into afghanistan or pakistan just last may where people went to the fires themselves carrying sticks and brooms and three of them died. this is what is happening and many other poor countries and i am also being told by different people that we have this idea of eyed adaption. you need to adapt to these changes? but somehow firefighting has not received attention. floods has, but firefighting especially in poorer countries has not. and that is very dangerous. countries has not. and that is very dangerous-— dangerous. thank you very much indeed. those of you watching on the bbc

out towards the west frontal systems are trying to push and which could introduce something cooler as the weather fronts work into the hot air, we will see more showers may be some heavy thundery downpours. ahead of that, in that hot air, if we hold onto sunshine for long enough, the temperatures really will go higher. it will be a cooler day across western parts. 23 for belfast, 2a for plymouth. in the east widely into the high 30s, there will be a core of heat across some parts. parts of lincolnshire could potentially reach highs of a2 celsius which would be unprecedented and certainly record—breaking. tuesday night into wednesday, we will have scattered showers and thunderstorms. western areas by wednesday will be cooler and fresher. still the last vestiges of heat holding on in the eastern

parts. but cooler and fresher conditions will start to push it from the west as we go into wednesday as the weather fronts work through. as they do, there is a chance for some pretty heavy bursts of rain, maybe thunderstorms across scotland and down the eastern side of england. temperatures by the end of england. temperatures by the end of wednesday will be quite a bit lower. still above average for many, but highs ranging from the high teens in the north to the mid to possibly high 20s in the southeast corner. we will stay with the cooler feel as we head towards the end of the week. that will be some dry weather and sunshine and heavy bursts of rain at times.

this is the same chart forjune 2022 for the europe is again hot but higher temperatures are much more widespread. what's happening now is part of a bigger shift in our climate put up at 2019 the bbc reported that... in 2022 we have hired top temperatures, more widespread high temperatures and overall increase in global temperatures and in the uk extreme heat is becoming more common. heat waves is one — heat is becoming more common. heat waves is one of— heat is becoming more common. heat waves is one of the _ heat is becoming more common. heat waves 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 being affected by rising global temperatures. bind by rising global temperatures. and this connects _ by rising global temperatures. and this connects to humans. the met office says it is... of course that influence remains. global carbon emissions increased to the 20th century, they are increasing now.

consistently and they climate change committee made this clear last week, but government has failed to carry out the things that are necessary to do to actually meet those commitments. you can serve as many targets as you like but if you don't actually do what needs to be done in order to deliver them that nothing changes. and that's exactly why i suspect we're seeing quite a lot of criticism even from inside the governments, you just quoted. d0 criticism even from inside the governments, you just quoted. governments, you 'ust quoted. do you think we governments, you 'ust quoted. do you thinkwe used — governments, you just quoted. do you think we used seeing _ governments, you just quoted. do you think we used seeing something - governments, you just quoted. do you think we used seeing something more | think we used seeing something more practical is that all these contenders to be the next prime minister know they need to win over conservative party members? they can see the polling is much as anyone that climate change is in a particular priority for that section of society. so they're not talking about it. it doesn't necessarily mean when they are in office they won't. t mean when they are in office they won't. ~' , ., �* mean when they are in office they won't. ~ i. �* .,. , won't. i think you're exactly right in the sense _ won't. i think you're exactly right in the sense that _ won't. i think you're exactly right in the sense that what _ won't. i think you're exactly right in the sense that what they - won't. i think you're exactly right in the sense that what they are l won't. i think you're exactly right i in the sense that what they are now candidates for the leadership talking about is what they think 100 not thousands of the tory party care about. that's not what the public of

the biggest celebrity couples of the early 2000. the pair attracted considerable paparazzi attention while they were together, not all of it was welcome. jennifer lopez alluded to this music video for her singlejenny the block. in september 2003just singlejenny the block. in september 2003 just days before they would do to get married this is the first time around of course, they called off the wedding citing... four months later they confirmed that they had split. jennifer lopez would want to marry the singer mark anthony in 200a and had twins with them. meanwhile, ben affleck met anotherjennifer, jennifer garner and they got married in 2005. they had three children together but both relationships unfortunately ended and then last year, much to enormous excitement the better for romance was rekindled they began appearing together on the red carpet, other industry events, showing pictures on their social media and so on. here they are at the venice film festival last september and then on sunday a

newsletter to her fans withjennifer lopez revealing the couple had headed to las vegas, they waited for a marriage licence alongside four other couples and said, we did it. she went on to say... meanwhile documents from the clerks office in nevada show that she intends to change her name tojennifer affleck. that's about as far as i can take the story. let's bring in elizabeth, chief correspondent a variety magazine. great to have you on the program. did you see this coming? thank you for having me. no, i have to admit, i did not see this coming. it sounds a bit silly because of course they were engaged to be married someone would assume that a wedding will be coming for that but this seemed to have come out of nowhere. it's very notj low to get married at the little white chapel in las vegas. she historically has

been known for being over the top, splashy events. i think everybody thought if in when they did get married it would've been a big to do, not something that was so intimate. it seemed to really come out of nowhere. tt intimate. it seemed to really come out of nowhere.— out of nowhere. it was certainly intimate as _ out of nowhere. it was certainly intimate as you _ out of nowhere. it was certainly intimate as you say, _ out of nowhere. it was certainly intimate as you say, who i out of nowhere. it was certainly intimate as you say, who went, j out of nowhere. it was certainly i intimate as you say, who went, was itjust intimate as you say, who went, was it just the two intimate as you say, who went, was itjust the two of intimate as you say, who went, was it just the two of them? she intimate as you say, who went, was itjust the two of them?— intimate as you say, who went, was it just the two of them? itjust the two of them? she said on her newsletter _ itjust the two of them? she said on her newsletter that _ itjust the two of them? she said on her newsletter that it _ itjust the two of them? she said on her newsletter that it was _ itjust the two of them? she said on her newsletter that it was just i itjust the two of them? she said on her newsletter that it was just them j her newsletter that it was just them and their family. her newsletter that it was just them and theirfamily. it her newsletter that it was just them and their family. it seems that it was very small. probably not even could count on two hands how many people where there. i think, what i take away from this is first and foremost is been nearly two gates to the making. i think they wanted to be just the two of them. let's be honest here, these are two of the biggest stars and they know that if they got married in las vegas, that would make for some interesting headlines, wouldn't it? tt would make for some interesting headlines, wouldn't it? it certainly wouldn't certainly _ headlines, wouldn't it? it certainly wouldn't certainly has _ headlines, wouldn't it? it certainly wouldn't certainly has as _ headlines, wouldn't it? it certainly wouldn't certainly has as they i headlines, wouldn't it? it certainly wouldn't certainly has as they did l wouldn't certainly has as they did it this way. they'll be some people watching what is the big deal here? just explain how big this couple was

in the 2000s, but tickly for a generation that was tuned into tuned into them at the time? you generation that was tuned into tuned into them at the time?— into them at the time? you really could not get _ into them at the time? you really could not get bigger _ into them at the time? you really could not get bigger than - could not get bigger than this couple in the early to thousands when they met. it's hard to remember but back in those days, that was really the heyday and the rise of the tabloid media. jennifer was actually one of the first if not couple to have that sort of moniker where a couple was known to be together by one name. so bannerfor her became the front page of every paper, every tabloid now fast forward 20 years and of course the tabloid media still exist but it's not nearly as powerful, celebrities had their own narrative and they own that with their own social media. but back in the day the tabloids, that's when you really lived and died by. the tabloids really made bennifer. you can get togetherness. 0f bennifer. you can get togetherness. of course everybody loves nostalgia. i think when they got back together people were rooting for them and

rooting for her. she is someone who has always believed in love, she has not made of a secret at all. it seems that here they really were destined to be together. t seems that here they really were destined to be together.- seems that here they really were destined to be together. i want you to hel me destined to be together. i want you to help me understand _ destined to be together. i want you to help me understand this - destined to be together. i want you to help me understand this issue i to help me understand this issue with that media a bit better because you are right, the media has evolved in last 20 years. in the last 20 years with all that smartphone so it's not like are out of the spotlight how have these to manage that pressure, a pressure they said first time around was a contributing factor in them splitting up? essen factor in them splitting up? even thou:h factor in them splitting up? even though the _ factor in them splitting up? even though the tabloid _ factor in them splitting up? even though the tabloid press isn't as important as it was, as you said media has of all, it seems that celebrities are everywhere more than ever because everybody has a phone and because everybody has social media. so jlo and because everybody has social media. sojlo and band have not heard from the cameras at all but they seem to be —— band. they seem to be setting the centre for themselves there at the red carpet at the film festival, she was at his movie parenchyma and he was hers,

they have not been shined from the cameras but i think the differences they feel that they are ready for this attention, they are setting that narrative. 20 years older, they've experienced this, they been in this business for a long, long, long time. both of them for decades with immense success for both. i think this time around they are saying, we'rejust going think this time around they are saying, we're just going to put it out there, show everyone our happiness, we've grown up, we know what we want and we want the world to live in our happiness with us. igrate to live in our happiness with us. we appreciate you telling us about it. always good to do a story with happy ending. thank forjoining us. there is a story where we know the ending here's one where we don't for that we're just a few minutes away from the latest round of the third round in this conservative party leadership contest. if you're watching has the uk and thinking this is a multifaceted affair, you're not wrong. first of all, the contenders had to get sufficient backing to be nominated into the first round. we had a first round

that knocked out some of the contenders, the second whittled it down further. this is now the third round of voting and bear in mind, the electorate is conservative party mps. the members of parties who the conservative party had just been. one of these five candidates is going to replace borisjohnson as prime ministerfor the going to replace borisjohnson as prime minister for the rishi going to replace borisjohnson as prime ministerfor the rishi sunak liz truss, penny more don't come up tom tugendhat and kemi badenoch. one at least has to go. let's bring in ian watson. i know we don't have the results yet but you'll be talking to plenty of people about which way this is going. do they still think tom tugendhat is in trouble? yes the do. tom tugendhat is in trouble? yes they do- he's _ tom tugendhat is in trouble? yes they do. he's most expected to drop out, more than one candidate is required to drop out and this evening they'll be another ballot tomorrow and if necessary if people don't withdraw it in the final ballot will be on wednesday where we're down to their final due, then go to full membership for the vote over the summer with the new prime minister replaced in september six. backs tonight, we think tom

tugendhat will be the person not to observe and borisjohnson's observe and boris johnson's government observe and borisjohnson's government amongst the candidates is the most likely out according to his own supporters. they've been chewing over the numbers of the past hours when the ballot close to this evening. it's still impossible to say exactly how the other candidates will fare against each other, we know rishi sunak has been out in front. the question is will he do not to get past the threshold of 120 mps and mean he is guaranteed to be one of the final two. and the rest of the week will then determine who his opponent will be when the members are involved. if he can't quite make it to tonight then all sorts of interesting things will happen. a lot of horsetrading, some people putting out he can't quite get momentum. it will be a crucial result in determining the mood of conservative mps tonight. i think only person going to that is tom tugendhat. only person going to that is tom tugendhat-_ only person going to that is tom tugendhat. thank you very much indeed. unsure _ tugendhat. thank you very much indeed. unsure will— tugendhat. thank you very much indeed. unsure will speak i tugendhat. thank you very much | indeed. unsure will speak shortly tugendhat. thank you very much i indeed. unsure will speak shortly as

we get the result, we're expecting it at eight o'clock. that is in four minutes. thank you for this hour. hello i'm sean light, welcome to bbc news was that we're leaving viewers internationally so we can bring you the latest round of the conservative leadership vote. injust the latest round of the conservative leadership vote. in just a few minutes we will be hearing from sir graeme brady, chairman of the conservative backbench 1922 conservative backbench1922 committee who is the master of ceremonies for the voting taking place this evening. just to remind you of where we're with the candidates. there are five candidates. there are five candidates remaining for the pair of affable gold order, there is kemi badenoch, a9 votes last time the mps were asked on the 1ath ofjuly, penny mordaunt, rishi sunak was 60 for an tom tugendhat with 32. it'll be interesting to see if those

numbers shift significantly but somebody on that list of five names is about to drop out. let's talk down to a political correspondent ian watson who was at west minister for the ian, on a simple assessment the person to drop out would be tom tugendhat, since he last time for that but it isn't as simple as that, is it? tt that but it isn't as simple as that, is it? , ., ., , that but it isn't as simple as that, isit? ,., , , ., is it? it is not as simple as that. of course _ is it? it is not as simple as that. of course the — is it? it is not as simple as that. of course the conservative i is it? it is not as simple as that. of course the conservative mps| is it? it is not as simple as that. i of course the conservative mps are famously distracted most sophisticated electorate in the world with that that means it's disingenuous as well hook up lots of horse trading going on, lots of people assessing who is up and it was down for all that, i know it is almost a start declaring things minutes before we get an actual definitive answer but simply talking to tom tugendhat kim, who are fairly upbeat earlier in encouraging people to go vote for them, and tell it to enact encouraging people to vote for them. certainly those that have been doing the whipping for him, try to make sure conservative mps back and they are not feeling confident tonight. they do think it is likely

tonight. they do think it is likely to finish in last place and his campaign could be over in the next few minutes. i would expect them necessarily to endorse and went out straightaway, i think he'll initially be licking his wounds. we think is most likely to go out. there's still many other questions. for example, the previous candidates throughout is unlikely to have transferred very many of her votes if any to tom tugendhat. also very unlikely to transfer any of her votes to rishi sunak. the question, does it put some momentum behind kemi badenoch or does it give a boost to liz truss who's attracted quite a lot of the fellow euro sceptic vote. that said, penny mordaunt has been consistently in second place in the ballot so far. if she maintains her leave the question will be asked whether the liz truss campaign has got any momentum to. for the questions may be asked about where people may place their votes in the subsequent

ballots. because of rishi sunak, it going into this ballot the leading candidate, and his team will be asking who is the candidate most likely to face when this contest goes to members before a new prime minister is elected and takes office septembersix. t minister is elected and takes office september sim— september six. i will interrupt you when i september six. i will interrupt you when i see — september six. i will interrupt you when i see graham _ september six. i will interrupt you when i see graham brady - september six. i will interrupt you when i see graham brady but i september six. i will interrupt you | when i see graham brady but is not there yet. do you detect from talking to mps and others in west minister that the televised debates have made any difference? they are not the debates mps would've seen, they would've also seen their performance in debates probably fair mps? ., �* , ., , performance in debates probably fair mps? ., �*, .,, .,, performance in debates probably fair mps? ., �*, , mps? that's right as well as this afternoon behind _ mps? that's right as well as this afternoon behind closed - mps? that's right as well as this afternoon behind closed doors i mps? that's right as well as this i afternoon behind closed doors here minister. you are getting the public denunciations saw on the it be debates. instead you get private consultations, people weighing up —— itv interesting, although there were 30 mp5, itv interesting, although there were 30 mps, that's fewer than ten conservative mps turned up for this afternoons behind closed doors

debate. that might tend to suggest that actually there is a much opinions to shift these debates, most people it made them minds. but clearly there are still some assessing the candidates for that strength and weaknesses and that might make the difference when it comes to getting into the final two for that at the moment, penny mordaunt has only 18 votes behind rishi sunak, 30 votes are up for grabs, who knows? tt rishi sunak, 30 votes are up for grabs, who knows?— rishi sunak, 30 votes are up for grabs, who knows? if the top of the ack grabs, who knows? if the top of the pack change. _ grabs, who knows? if the top of the pack change. do _ grabs, who knows? if the top of the pack change, do you _ grabs, who knows? if the top of the pack change, do you think- grabs, who knows? if the top of the pack change, do you think due i pack change, do you think due further down apart from elimination tonight might come under pressure in the next couple of days to eliminate further rounds of voting and just kinda see was that there have gonna close the this could drag on until wednesday quite easily but at the same time, i think there is a feeling... the

offices of _ think there is a feeling... the offices of the _ think there is a feeling... the offices of the 1922 _ think there is a feeling... the offices of the 1922 are filing in so graham brady
