much 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? if 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 - 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 is opening a magic envelope. 357 votes cast, out of a possible 358. i will need the name of the candidate and number of votes cast in alphabetical order. kemi badenoch, 58. penny mordaunt, 82. rishi sunak, 115. liz truss, 71. tom tugendhat, 31. so tom tugendhat is eliminated from the election. the other candidates are able to go forward to a fourth ballot which will take tomorrow between one and three pn, will take tomorrow between one and three pm, with the result announced at apm. studio: short, sweet and to the point. it's a hot all day and it's a hot committee room. kemi badenoch, she had 58 votes, up nine on five

days ago on the last round. penny mordaunt on 82, down one by my estimation. rishi sunak with 115, up 14 estimation. rishi sunak with 115, up 1a on five days ago. and liz truss was up seven but still in third place behind penny mordaunt. tom tugendhat lost only one mp but nonetheless under the rules as the person with the least votes he is eliminated. we wait to see what his 31 supporters do. what do you make of these figures? interesting because the first thing to bear in mind is the finishing line... dramatic end to proceedings here! i don't know if one of the candidates decided on the most dramatic fashion to withdraw. i do hope not!— dramatic fashion to withdraw. i do hope not! dramatic fashion to withdraw. idoho-�*enot!,, , ., i do hope not! absolutely not. the to three i do hope not! absolutely not. the tap three are _ i do hope not! absolutely not. the top three are exactly _ i do hope not! absolutely not. the top three are exactly the - i do hope not! absolutely not. the top three are exactly the same. i top three are exactly the same. there was some hope in the liz truss

camp they could get more of suella braverman�*s support and that could see her perhaps making up ground perhaps even overtaking penny mordaunt who has been under intense scrutiny on just about every issue over the past few days. what was also interesting is all that rishi sunak is still out in front he is not reached the magical figure of 120 that would see him straight into the final round. in some senses it still all to play for. also interesting, it seems as though suella braverman�*s votes are split between liz truss and kemi badenoch. perhaps she may see this as an incentive to stay in the race although she is in fourth place she might say, it is worth chatting again to mps and see if she can be the standard—bearer of the ant—woke, right, if you like. as we were predicting, correctly, as it turns

out, tom tugendhat has dropped out. where will his votes go? talking to some of those involved, not the cleaning yet but more likely to give a boost potentially to penny mordaunt, some may go to rishi sunak but unlikely to give any boost to liz truss or kemi badenoch. that also will perhaps way on people's mines and that might mean we did get the full round of voting people do not decide on these figures it's time to throw in the toweljust yet. iain duncan smith is lurking over your shoulder. a distinctive presence as always. and also anne—marie trevelyan coming in as well. everybody piling in to give their views and i'm sure... here is ben bradley. ben bradley is here. do you want to tell ben he is live on the news channel. he might want to keep his phone out of sight because we don't want to see any private digital information. we

like i was in pantomime. those would be the best conversations, private insight is very on message. i think we would have breached several bbc guidelines! ben bradley is interesting because he is that bits of the party who won seats no tory has won before, certainly not for 90 years or so, when he took mansfield with a remarkable result. those kinds of people, in a sense, perhaps the party ought to listen to because they are the people who won seats that if the tories cannot hold those seats, it is fine for them to win the traditional tory seat in the south—east of england and east anglia and midland and all the rest but they have got to hold onto some of those red while seats to any chance of forming a government or being a minority government at the next election. being a minority government at the next election-— being a minority government at the next election. they have. absolutely ri . ht. next election. they have. absolutely riht. it next election. they have. absolutely

it'll be interesting to see what the baroness has to say and whether she was watching those debates on whether she feels it was right for the candidates to pull out of the debate scheduled for tomorrow. more on that in the course of the hour but for now, other news. it's been the hottest day on record in wales by two degrees with data still coming in and forecasters predicting that records in england and scotland will be broken tomorrow. scientists are warning that climate change means we will see more extreme temperatures. train services have been badly disrupted in england and wales, some tracks have buckled in the heat, while flights were suspended at luton airport and brize norton as runways melted. temperatures have been recorded in the 30s across all the uk nations. santon downham in suffolk saw the highest temperature at 38.1 degrees celsius. our correspondent daniela relph has the latest. keeping cool any way possible.

normal everyday life has had its challenges today. in central london, some still braved an open—top bus tour, while others cope with the intense city heat in a more traditional way. we have had ice pops, ice creams, slushies, smoothies, so we have had a few drinks. just taking on plenty of water, staying in the shade as much as we can, _ and having a wee dip, keeping the fluids up. we live in america, so this is pretty normalfor us, so we are actually laughing about how big a deal it is here. but it was a big deal if you were flying into or out of luton airport this afternoon. the high temperatures caused a defect on the runway, and all flights were suspended. engineers are currently trying to fix the problem. once flights resume, passengers will be able to look down

at the parched landscape that makes up much of southern and eastern england. cambridgeshire looking especially dry and brittle as the county records some of highest temperatures. we are actually still seeimh temperatures coming in over 38 celsius. we don't know if we've broken the all—time uk record or not, because the data is still coming in, but if we haven't, we've got very close. but for so many today, the usual routine has continued, with some alterations. this building site in dagenham in essex has changed its schedule. no more than 45 minutes outside, before you swap with a team working inside. in the middle east, whether that be dubai or anywhere else, buildings are built. no—one stops because of the sun. if anything, we would rather work in these conditions than when it's raining. did you ever think of not working today? we gave the option for people not to come in this week or next week, and everybody said of course not, the weather is not going to faze us, building work still has to happen

and it will not make a difference, so here we are. taking it easy and keeping cool, these orangutans at twycross zoo in leicestershire probably have the right idea, as we all try to find our own way of managing in these excessive temperatures. daniela relph, bbc news, dagenham. when you experience conditions of this kind, given your knowledge as a climate scientist, is it always with that in the back of your mind, are you ever able to enjoy truly hot weatherjust you ever able to enjoy truly hot weather just for the you ever able to enjoy truly hot weatherjust for the moment or do you always have to say, i am sorry, this is what we predicted and it is coming to pass, why are people not taking it more seriously? to be honest, i'm not particular in joint whether this hot. got a father

who is 90 years old and i'm popping out to check he is all right. it is no joke for all people. i'm sure lots of people are having a good time but this is serious whether to take seriously. serious whether, in a sense, that shall fill some of the predictions scientist were making for the best part of a0 years. —— that fulfils some of the predictions. in part of 40 years. -- that fulfils some of the predictions.- some of the predictions. in the 19705 some of the predictions. in the 15370s global — some of the predictions. in the 1970s global temperatures - some of the predictions. in the| 1970s global temperatures were some of the predictions. i'i tri2 1970s global temperatures were going down and predicted around six of a degree of warming would happen from the 1980s onwards and that is what we have seen. we understand what is going on at that global level and also much better than we did at the local level as well. one thing you should notice is how well forecast these heatwaves are, the met office has a morning of the possibility of this heatwave for a couple of weeks which help people prepare but also it tells you we can understand what is happening to these risks and use the same tools used to forecast them

to actually say, how fast the risks are changing. let me ask you about the practicalities. the claimant advisory committee say for the last ten years they've been saying to successive governments, the coalition government and then subsequent conservative governments, you need to stop measuring temperatures of new—build properties. that onlyjust became legislation this year. in the interim we have built thousands and thousands of properties that are too hot in these kinds of conditions. they might fine delete might be fine for the rest of the year. what is the gap between science and politics thatis the gap between science and politics that is still not been bridge? i'd be interested to hear what you think the problem is. is it public opinion, politicians not confronting the public? is it the media, the way we report the stories? i think that particular example you mention isjust a i think that particular example you mention is just a failure of regulation keeping up. we are running to catch up but it is

unfortunate we built a whole load of houses in the meantime that although they were desperately needed by people because people needed the housing, they were not well designed for the hot summers we are going to increasingly be seeing. and this... we will have to re—tune our regulations to fit a changing climate. one of the challenges, it's a very much more expensive to design a very much more expensive to design a house that has to be suitable for a house that has to be suitable for a whole bunch of different climates as the climate is changing. a house last 50 or 100 years, whatever. if you've got to design it for a changing climate you got to make it robust to lots of different possibilities. that is why we've got to stop this. in possibilities. that is why we've got to stop this-— to stop this. in terms of the work ou have to stop this. in terms of the work you have done. _ to stop this. in terms of the work you have done, you'd _ to stop this. in terms of the work you have done, you'd were - to stop this. in terms of the work you have done, you'd were the i you have done, you'd were the coordinating lead author on the ipc's coordinating lead author on the ipc�*s report which look at the warming. where are we now in terms of the projection of that report in terms of what we are likely to see? we were told if we keep it 1.5, it

is tolerable, we can make the adaptations to make it tolerable although it is not ideal. where are we in that trajectory at the moment? at the rate we're going will reach 1.5 degrees around or not long after 2013, unfortunately which means we only really got to three decades —— 2030. we only got a few decades if we want to keep it closed at 1.5. just going over 1.5 does not mean it is too late and we should give up. a lot of people seem to have gone from denying there is a problem at all to saying it is too late, we may as well carry on, very quickly. one analogy is a bit like smoking, it's never too late to give up smoking and never too late to get up fossil fuels. it's important to understand we could turn this around fast. —— never too late to give up fossil

fuels. we have the technology available to stop dumping carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. friends ofthe dioxide into the atmosphere. friends of the earth challenge _ dioxide into the atmosphere. friends of the earth challenge the _ of the earth challenge the government over 80 climate strategy in the high court had a ruling the government is not yet, they argued the policy basis was not there to justify the net zero strategy in other words did not come up with, not shown how the strategy would deliver the results. the court found in their favour and said the government has to come up with a report by next march to explain how it is doing it. is this legally enforced process relate much use, do you think, in terms of delivering outcomes? we you think, in terms of delivering outcomes?— you think, in terms of delivering outcomes? ~ ., . ., , ., , outcomes? we need a clear strategy however we — outcomes? we need a clear strategy however we get _ outcomes? we need a clear strategy however we get that _ outcomes? we need a clear strategy however we get that i _ outcomes? we need a clear strategy however we get that i don't - outcomes? we need a clear strategy however we get that i don't really i however we get that i don't really mind. at the moment with aspirational goals but we don't have aspirational goals but we don't have a clear delivery and part of my concern is we are not really engaging the most powerful force concern is we are not really engaging the most powerfulforce in the world we could engage to deal

with the climate problem, which is the fossil fuel industry itself. that is the one institution in the world has the cash float, access to capital, has the money now to stop climate change. right now they are just being regarded as a knee problem, they need to become part of the solution. that's a very good point. thank you very much for your time. we will let you get back to your dad. i hope he is keeping 0k. you get back to your dad. i hope he is keeping ok. more water than tea, i hope! thank you very much. let's return to the conservative leadership race and tom tugendhat has been eliminated after finishing last in the third round. rishi sunak on 115, penny mordaunt lost one vote, liz truss and kemi badenoch both gained and tom tugendhat lost one. let's talk to the conservative mp for west worcestershire and backing penny mordaunt. thank you very much. you are part of this

patrolling guard of people being sent out every night there is a vote, it must be getting quite tiring for you sometimes feel that you are the candidates because you have to be the proxy. first of all, what the reaction from camp penny mordaunt? first of all, we got a bunch of the excellent candidates and i salute them all for standing. i am backing penny mordaunt. i think she's really pleased she in a strong second place in the contest. with everything to play for obviously. she is also, from my point of view, if you think strategically what we need to do as conservative mps is whittle the list down to two and sent two people to the country who are ready to be prime minister on day one in september but also who will be effective at winning an unprecedented fifth general election victory whenever that comes. for me, penny ticks all those boxes. she is a conviction brexiteer also a one

nation conservative, won a seat off labour and has a great track record in government as being the first female defence secretary this country has ever had. on the result tonight, rishi sunak gained 1a, kemi badenoch gained nine, liz truss gain seven, penny lost one vote, she didn't persuade any more colleagues, notwithstanding her performances at the hustings today and in televised debates and all the other interviews and newspaper interviews, nobody else was brought over it. does that not what are you? she was the break—out star last week and i think she has been surprising everyone with a very positive campaign and very strong result. in second throughout this contest. of course the important thing is in terms of the colleagues voting in today's ballots and shifting their allegiance, mainly the ones who back suella braverman in that last round of voting. and i think they will now

be voting tactically to ensure as we decide the final two we send to the country we choose someone who could be prime minister on day one and also can win the next general election and i think penny has all those characteristics. she talked a lot about having the pride of winning a seat off live but it had been a tory seat before for many years, portsmouth. and that the peter griffiths. you know a lot more... a lot of the candidates were accused, it is natural, everybody polishes their cv but they worry about what it is about her she thinks will reach... as a candidate to be prime minister that she will have to reach all parts of the country. have to reach all parts of the count . ~ , ,, have to reach all parts of the count , ,, , country. absolutely. she palls really well _ country. absolutely. she palls really well in _ country. absolutely. she palls really well in scottish - country. absolutely. she palls i really well in scottish electorate, she topped a poll today with express

readers, she did really well in the poll of mumsnet readers. the at my independent reader selected her as their favourite —— the independent reader selected her as theirfavourite —— the independent readers selected her as their favourite. it's a responsibility of us as mps to send two candidates both read it to be prime minister on day one and also got that ability to win the next general election. she is in second place, there are a couple more rounds to go. from that point of view she clearly wants to hold on to second place. what is the strategy for doing that because in a sense you could keep saying the same thing and hope it works but you cannot rely on that. i think it'll be the people who voted for tom tugendhat who will be most likely to switch allegiance tomorrow because he was eliminated and a fantastic candidates and well done to him for standing. i think penny will attract lots of his supporters because she obviously is

someone who is strong on defence. we've got a lot of strong defence supporters in our group of mps and i think that will be a strong message we will be sending. we need someone who will have a good economic plan on day one and somebody who really knows about security of the uk and has a good plan for the small boats issue and somebody it also helps people to live well and i think penny set out some really strong policies in that area and when i leave you i shall be going off on selling those to my colleagues for tomorrow's vote. you must be getting mps saying, for goodness' sake, leave me alone! i'm sure you do it with great charm and a smile and keep it positive. can i ask you what penny more and you and your colleagues in that camp make of the decision not to have another debate? is there a sense of the sort of relief because they were

people out there. let's hear the announcement from sir graham brady of round three results of the conservative leadership contest. 357 votes cast, out of a possible 358. i will read the name of the candidate and number of votes cast in alphabetical order. kemi badenoch, 58. penny mordaunt, 82. rishi sunak, 115. liz truss, 71. tom tugendhat, 31. so tom tugendhat is eliminated from the election. the other candidates are able to go forward to a fourth ballot which will take tomorrow between 1 and 3pm, with the result announced at apm. let's talk now to ian watson, who is

going to be with us before that, let's draw attention to something so graham did not tell us, the way the votes change. kemi badenoch's vote went up nine, penny modern's went down one, from 83, 82. rishi penny modern's went down one, from 83,82. rishi sunak went up 1a, and liz truss are's went up seven, 6a up to 71. rishi sunak is in first place, liz truss and second, penny matt penny modern and third, kemi badenoch and forth and tom tugendhat eliminated but what matters is the final round when it comes down to the final two. we can see some mps are shifting and maybe other mps getting nervous and limit the rugby campaign to stop a certain —— maybe

there will be a campaign to stop somebody. let's go to ian watson who has company. let's go to ian watson who has com an . �* let's go to ian watson who has company-— let's go to ian watson who has coman. �* ., _ ., ,, company. i'm “oined by chloe smith. you're company. i'mjoined by chloe smith. you're obviously _ company. i'mjoined by chloe smith. you're obviously a _ company. i'mjoined by chloe smith. you're obviously a supporter - company. i'mjoined by chloe smith. you're obviously a supporter of i company. i'mjoined by chloe smith. you're obviously a supporter of liz i you're obviously a supporter of liz truss, who's consistently in third place, she's not been a head at all throughout the contest, she remains in third place. are you nervous tonight she won't make the final two? �* ., ., , tonight she won't make the final two? ., tonight she won't make the final two? i'm not nervous because what ou see two? i'm not nervous because what you see in — two? i'm not nervous because what you see in her— two? i'm not nervous because what you see in her is — two? i'm not nervous because what you see in her is clearly _ two? i'm not nervous because what you see in her is clearly a _ two? i'm not nervous because what you see in her is clearly a leading i you see in her is clearly a leading position— you see in her is clearly a leading position and one that has momentum. what you've _ position and one that has momentum. what you've seen and liz truss's results _ what you've seen and liz truss's results compared to the first round is movement, you've seen people coming _ is movement, you've seen people coming towards liz and other candidates taking a step back which them _ candidates taking a step back which them to— candidates taking a step back which them to deal with. the key point people _ them to deal with. the key point people see in liz is experience, a wide _ people see in liz is experience, a wide range — people see in liz is experience, a wide range of experience across a range _ wide range of experience across a range of— wide range of experience across a range of departments and government, and that— range of departments and government, and that means she's ready to lead and that means she's ready to lead and deliver— and that means she's ready to lead and deliver it from day one. you've

to creep up, blood vessels near the surface of the skin open up, pushing heat to the surface, trying always to keep that core body temperature on an even keel. that can mean a drop in blood pressure as the heart works harder. now, another key way in which my body regulates its core temperature is through sweat. that's why dehydration can quickly become a problem. working out in this heat is not recommended, but staying fit all year round is. people who regularly exercise are regularly experiencing higher body temperatures internally because you produce a lot of heat when you exercise. so then that leads to better preparation for these heatwaves. the elderly and those with heart and lung conditions are most at risk from extreme heat, but even the young and fit can feel the effects.

too long in the sun can lead to heat exhaustion. symptoms include headache, dizziness, nausea, heavy sweating and pale, clammy skin. left untreated, it can progress to heat stroke, a medical emergency. this whole area is in the sun the whole time. stjohn ambulance are a familiar sight at public events in all weathers, on hand to offer help and advice. so what should you do if you come across someone with heat exhaustion? you want to bring them out of direct sunlight somewhere cool where they can lie down, raise their legs, encouraging blood flow back to the brain. hydrate them as much as possible with clear fluids, so water. and if they're not recovering in about 30 minutes, we'd recommend phoning 111. and the health advice is simple — stay in the shade, drink water, use sunscreen and keep an eye on the vulnerable. fergus walsh, bbc news.

joining us to give us some practical advice on how to cope with the hot weather is dr sarahjarvis. how are you? have you been keeping cool today? i’ge how are you? have you been keeping cooltoda ? �* , ., , , cooltoday? i've been doing my very best but it's — cooltoday? i've been doing my very best but it's not _ cooltoday? i've been doing my very best but it's not been _ cooltoday? i've been doing my very best but it's not been easy. - cooltoday? i've been doing my very best but it's not been easy. we didl best but it's not been easy. we did have to take the dog out, and that happened very early in this morning. but even then, i came back at around 8pm and i was sweating. i was but even then, i came back at around 8pm and i was sweating.— 8pm and i was sweating. i was struck this evening — 8pm and i was sweating. i was struck this evening in _ 8pm and i was sweating. i was struck this evening in central _ 8pm and i was sweating. i was struck this evening in central love _ 8pm and i was sweating. i was struck this evening in central love note i this evening in central love note and, and i'd come back from ireland where it's much cooler — it felt quite dry, the air, it didn't feel quite dry, the air, it didn't feel quite as clammy as it sometimes does in more conventional heat. is there an expiration for that, does that affect the body or not? it an expiration for that, does that affect the body or not?- affect the body or not? it has a hu . e affect the body or not? it has a huge impact — affect the body or not? it has a huge impact on _ affect the body or not? it has a huge impact on your— affect the body or not? it has a huge impact on your body. if. affect the body or not? it has a l huge impact on your body. if it's too humid, you can't sweat effectively, which can make you moche more prone to heat exhaustion as we've just heard, one of the main ways to bring temperatures down is by sweating. so some take medication

that can interfere with sweating, whether that people who take it for parkinson's disease or arts, or alzheimer's disease, they can end up with more problems in the heat. there are some who take it because they do a lot of exercise and try to inhibit the amount of sweat. presumably that really is not a good idea in these conditions? it’s presumably that really is not a good idea in these conditions?— idea in these conditions? it's not, we heard about _ idea in these conditions? it's not, we heard about the _ idea in these conditions? it's not, we heard about the symptoms i idea in these conditions? it's not, we heard about the symptoms of| idea in these conditions? it's not, i we heard about the symptoms of heat exhaustion. what's interesting is that people who have heat exhaustion will often have pale clammy skin because they'll be sweating a great deal. when you get to the stage of heat stroke, your body basically gives up and can no longer keep your internal temperature normal. and thatis internal temperature normal. and that is absolutely key for all the millions of chemical processes that go inside your body, so your temperature will rise to a0 celsius or more, and often have very red but non—sweaty skin. and that is where you're really getting into problems. that's a very good visual clue,

particularly... about today first, have you spoken to patients today? have you had people consulting you because they've started to have adverse effects? i’ge because they've started to have adverse effects?— because they've started to have adverse effects? i've had a patient at the end of— adverse effects? i've had a patient at the end of life who _ adverse effects? i've had a patient at the end of life who is _ adverse effects? i've had a patient at the end of life who is really i at the end of life who is really finding it problematic to get their breath. their spouse rang me up and said they are really struggling, and i recommended that since they couldn't get them out into the shower while they were waiting for help to arrive, they were going into hospice that they should put cool water on them, not hot, not cold because it won't be comfortable, but leave it on. they had the windows open, saying there was a nice breeze - i open, saying there was a nice breeze — i said the problem with that as they are bringing hotter air in so close the windows, put a fan on and don't dry them off completely because that will help them to cool down as that water evaporates from

the six... slip on a shirt, slop on lots of high factor sun screen, slap on a hat on top of your head, particularly if you're a little short in the hair department, and seek shade whenever you can, and don't forget to slide on some sunglasses because your eyes too and really suffer with excess sunlight. it can increase your macular degeneration and counteracts. alert; degeneration and counteracts. very sound advice. _ degeneration and counteracts. very sound advice, doctor _ degeneration and counteracts. very sound advice, doctor sarah harris, i hope you keep cool tomorrow, thanks very much for talking to us. you'll find much of that on the bbc�*s website, and what the met office is predicting for tomorrow. jury selection has begun in the criminal trial of steve bannon, a former close aide

of donald trump when he was president. it's after he defied a legal summons to give evidence to the congressional panel investigating last year's attack on the us capitol by a pro—trump mob. we can cross live to our washington correspondent nomia iqbal. hello to you. what is this process involving and why is it so significant? 50 involving and why is it so significant?— involving and why is it so significant? involving and why is it so siunificant? , , ., significant? so firstly, what the rocess significant? so firstly, what the process is _ significant? so firstly, what the process is selecting _ significant? so firstly, what the process is selecting 22 - significant? so firstly, what the | process is selecting 22 potential iury process is selecting 22 potential jury members to take part in the trial. so thejudge has jury members to take part in the trial. so the judge has to meticulously go through each of the jurors, ask them questions such as have they been listening to the congressional hearings, influenced by it in any way? you have any opinions on steve bannon and donald trump, two very polarising figures in america, to get to stage they have enoughjurors to in america, to get to stage they have enough jurors to begin the trial tomorrow. have enough jurors to begin the trialtomorrow. it's

have enough jurors to begin the trial tomorrow. it's worth noticing that these charges steve bannon faces are pretty rare. at the time he was being talked about when the committee wanted to refer him to the justice department, it wasn't quite clear if they would actually pursue it, but they have. basically they've accused him of deliberately and intentionally failing to comply with this request by the committee investigating january the 6th to turn over documents and also testify. so today is when the jury will be picked and tomorrow, the trial will begin. i will be picked and tomorrow, the trial will begin.— trial will begin. i know we will be talkin: to trial will begin. i know we will be talking to you — trial will begin. i know we will be talking to you again _ trial will begin. i know we will be talking to you again tomorrow i trial will begin. i know we will be i talking to you again tomorrow once things get going. for now, thanks very much. we can talk now to a lawyer for friends of the earth and joins us

that they were not informed of, neither was the general public. the 95% adds up to the quantified impacts of the policies in the net zero strategy. a 5% shortfall, and there are several issues with that. and 5% really is quite a big amount. we are talking about 10—15,000,000 tonnes of c02 equivalent over the course of five years, which at its maximum, 75 million tonnes, equates to roughly the amount of annual admissions throughout all the uk. 50 admissions throughout all the uk. so it's still a gap, but you are clear about that. the judge then said to the government, you haven't got this clarity, it's needed for reasons of public transparency but also for reasons of accountability, holding the government account if you have to actually explained that x leads

to actually explained that x leads to actually explained that x leads to a wife. but he's now given them until march next year, so they know i have got quite a lot of time to meet their requirements. are your clients disappointed by that, or are theyjust clients disappointed by that, or are they just glad clients disappointed by that, or are theyjust glad to put their feet to theyjust glad to put their feet to the flame and actually forced to clarify this? to the flame and actually forced to clarify this?— the flame and actually forced to clari this? ., , ., , , clarify this? to be honest, friends ofthe clarify this? to be honest, friends of the earth _ clarify this? to be honest, friends of the earth is _ clarify this? to be honest, friends of the earth is reasonably - clarify this? to be honest, friends of the earth is reasonably happy i of the earth is reasonably happy with that length of time, and the reason for that is this is not a case of the governmentjust releasing a few numbers. we know there is a substantial amount of work that will need to be done, and if something had been a requirement to produce this updated strategy next week, with all that would've happened was something that doesn't address the underlying problems. because not only was the 95% not provided in the net zero strategy, none of the actual policies themselves were quantified which means as the judgment points out, there's a lack of understanding of there's a lack of understanding of

the risk relating to particular areas in terms of their ultimate delivery. so for example, if the government is relying on a certain set of policies to heavily and they fall short, this information is there. so there's quite a lot that needs to be done in terms of the assessment of risk, as well as information on the quantified nature of the policies. that information on the quantified nature of the policies.— of the policies. that is also a challenge — of the policies. that is also a challenge to _ of the policies. that is also a challenge to come _ of the policies. that is also a challenge to come in - of the policies. that is also a challenge to come in the i of the policies. that is also a l challenge to come in the time. of the policies. that is also a - challenge to come in the time. thank you very much for that and for clearing out some of the misunderstandings of the reporting of this story, most grateful to you. thank you. of this story, most grateful to you. thank yon-— of this story, most grateful to you. thank you. just as holgate has said the business _ thank you. just as holgate has said the business secretary _ thank you. just as holgate has said the business secretary needs i thank you. just as holgate has said the business secretary needs to i thank you. just as holgate has said i the business secretary needs to look at this and come back, mr kwasi kwarteng, come back to parliament and actually report. we have contacted the government for comment and we are waiting for a response. we are being warned that climate change means these extreme

hundreds of years, but they are back and certainly worth encouraging. here's been with the weather. good evening. it has been an extraordinarily hot day across vast swathes of the country. records have been broken. all—time records broken in wales, in cornwall, jersey has broken its all—time temperature record. the highest temperature of all was santon downham, in suffolk — 38.1 celsius, very close to the all—time uk record. and we still have this red warning from the met office, because tomorrow, for some, is likely to be even hotter. and tonight isn't going to help you cool down very much — these are the temperatures we're expecting around midnight, still 28 celsius there in the centre of london. the orange is not really draining away from this map even as we head towards dawn, so it'll be a very warm start to tuesday morning for many. in fact, we will have some really hot air in place across much of the uk as we start the day tomorrow. out towards the west, frontal systems trying to push in, which will eventually introduce something cooler. as those weather fronts

work into the hot air, we'll see more cloud, we'll see some showers, could be some heavy thundery downpours into the southwest. but ahead of that, in that hot air, if we hold on to sunshine for long enough, the temperatures really will rocket. so a slightly cooler day across western parts tomorrow — 23 for belfast, 2a for plymouth — but further east, widely into the high—30s. it's likely that there'll be a core of heat across some parts of central and eastern england. parts of lincolnshire could potentially reach highs of 42 celsius, which would be unprecedented and certainly record—breaking. tuesday night into wednesday will bring some scattered showers and thunderstorms. western areas by wednesday morning will be cooler and fresher, still the last vestiges of some heat holding on across eastern parts, but cooler, fresher conditions will start to push in from the west as we go through wednesday as these weather fronts work through. as the weather fronts do work through, there is the chance for some pretty heavy bursts of rain, maybe some thunderstorms across parts of scotland, and down the eastern side of england.

but 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. and we stick with that slightly cooler feel as we head towards the end of the week. there'll still be some dry weather and some sunshine, but some heavy bursts of rain at times.

you are watching the context. is this a window into our future with record—breaking images across europe? scientists say it's happening faster than the expected and we need to get used to it. fires are burning across large areas of france, spain, portugaland greece. the uk is breaking records last set in theatres on 19 and tomorrow at the mercury will exceed a0 celsius for the first time. five becomes fourin for the first time. five becomes four in the race to be the next prime minister and tom tugendhat is knocked out in the latest ballot of tory mps. monkeypox spreading across the united states and uk which
