this is bbc news. the headlines.. wildfires continue to spread — as much of western europe has been sweltering under an intense heatwave. severe warnings have been issued in britain and france, while parts of northern spain registered temperatures of forty— three degrees celsius. britain's first extreme heat warning has come into effect, with parts of southern england expected to reach forty celsius laterfor the first time. the government says it's treating the unprecedented red alert as a national emergency. the sentencing trial has begun for the man who carried out the deadliest attack on a us high school. the jury will decide what penalty nikolas cruz will pay for killing seventeen people at his former school, in parkland, florida, in 2018. four candidates remain in britain's conservative leadership race to replace borisjohnson

as prime minister. tom tugenhadt was eliminated in the latest round of voting. of the remaing four, former chancellor rishi sunak tops the polls followed by penny mourdant. hello, welcome to our second and last look of the night hello, welcome to our second and last look of the night of hello, welcome to our second and last look of the night of what hello, welcome to our second and last look of the night of what the papers will be bringing us on tuesday morning. still with me, baroness ros altman and james rampton, features writer at the independent. welcome back to both of you. i'm hoping you had something long and cool in the interim. the high temperatures dominate the front pages. the i leads with a stark map showing the high temperatures reached in britain today — and the headline "earth sends a warning." the telegraph is concerned that emergency services may not be able

to cope if the hot weather continues for a second day tomorrow. the online independent newspaper reports on a court ruling that the government has failed to show how they'll meet their climate targets. the guardian accuses borisjohnson of failing to provide leadership in the heatwave. it says the prime minister attended the farnborough air show and gave a whimsical speech. the financial times says doubt has been cast on britain remaining home to the tech—giant softbank — because, it says, of the collapse of boris johnson's government. the daily mail splits its front page before that tory leadership, penny is down on his part among herfellow mps. right, let's plunge back in. james camille want to kick off this time. there are various takes on this, but in essence, the times has

a tory race thrown wide open. they think the story justifies a tory race thrown wide open. they think the storyjustifies the headline? i think the story “ustifies the headlinevh think the story 'ustifies the headlinevh headline? i think it does. suworters _ headline? i think it does. suworters of— headline? i think it does. supporters of liz - headline? i think it does. supporters of liz said - headline? i think it does. supporters of liz said it l headline? i think it does. - supporters of liz said it wasn't a good night for her. she was hoping to pick up plenty more support is from sue ella braverman who was knocked out last time. penny moment —— that george bush is to talk about, the momentum that she was hoping for and indeed they are not out of the race, so there is a... james, oh, that you are. fix, out of the race, so there is a... james, oh, that you are. a tight race for the _ james, oh, that you are. a tight race for the second _ james, oh, that you are. a tight race for the second place. - james, oh, that you are. a tight race for the second place. it - james, oh, that you are. a tight l race for the second place. it looks like rishi will go through to the final two, like rishi will go through to the finaltwo, but like rishi will go through to the final two, but the race between the other three is too close to call. i do think it's interesting that they have been so vicious about each other. it's no surprise in a way that they have cancelled the debate for tomorrow night because it was like rats fighting in a sack. rishi

macro called to a socialist. and that they had enough out of the blue on blue attacks and didn't want the unedifying side of torres attacking each other on national tally any more. ., . . each other on national tally any more. ., ., ., ., , more. you are a conservative member ofthe more. you are a conservative member of the house — more. you are a conservative member of the house of _ more. you are a conservative member of the house of lords. _ more. you are a conservative member of the house of lords. the _ more. you are a conservative member of the house of lords. the space - more. you are a conservative member of the house of lords. the space is . of the house of lords. the space is wide epen- — of the house of lords. the space is wide open. site _ of the house of lords. the space is wide open. site camille _ of the house of lords. the space is wide open. site camille froze - wide open. site camille froze briefl , wide open. site camille froze briefly. that _ wide open. site camille froze briefly, that is _ wide open. site camille froze briefly, that is why _ wide open. site camille froze briefly, that is why i - wide open. site camille froze - briefly, that is why i interrupted, forgive me, just a technical thing, ros, you are sitting there in the house of lords and watching this as an observer like everybody else, though presumably as a party member you will eventually get to vote. what do you make of the situation as it stands tonight? it what do you make of the situation as it stands tonight?— it stands tonight? it would certainly — it stands tonight? it would certainly seem _ it stands tonight? it would certainly seem that - it stands tonight? it would certainly seem that it - it stands tonight? it would certainly seem that it is i it stands tonight? it would | certainly seem that it is too it stands tonight? it would - certainly seem that it is too close to call_ certainly seem that it is too close to call at — certainly seem that it is too close to call at this stage. especially among — to call at this stage. especially among the three female candidates, and i stress three female candidates and i stress three female candidates and only— and i stress three female candidates and only one male left in, so there is certainly — and only one male left in, so there is certainly going to be a woman in the runoff— is certainly going to be a woman in the runoff in— is certainly going to be a woman in

had an absolutely clear agenda. if we have anybody other than boris johnson and they for some reason absolutely do not think that we have done the right thing by getting the prime minister to step aside, i must admit that i think that was the right thing, if that is the case, then they are 100% favourite is liz truss. and they eat then they are 10096 favourite is liz truss. and they ea— then they are 100% favourite is liz truss. and they ea— truss. and they eat have been knockin: truss. and they eat have been knocking penny _ truss. and they eat have been knocking penny mordant - truss. and they eat have been knocking penny mordant and l truss. and they eat have been - knocking penny mordant and indeed rishi for the last number of days, and this— rishi for the last number of days, and this is— rishi for the last number of days, and this isjust another example where _ and this isjust another example where they clearly feel that penny mordant _ where they clearly feel that penny mordant is a real threat to liz truss— mordant is a real threat to liz truss getting into the final two. if it is a _ truss getting into the final two. if it is a final— truss getting into the final two. if it is a final two between rishi and liz trust _ it is a final two between rishi and liz trust and indeed, if it's the final two— liz trust and indeed, if it's the final two between rishi penny and final two between rishipenny and

it but it does seem an anomaly that the majority of people would probably want someone else completely, but they don't have a say in this. completely, but they don't have a say in this— say in this. just to clarify, two thins, say in this. just to clarify, two things. we — say in this. just to clarify, two things, we don't _ say in this. just to clarify, two things, we don't know - say in this. just to clarify, two things, we don't know about | say in this. just to clarify, two - things, we don't know about that, precisely because the conservatives no longer publish membership figures, could be more than that, less than that, nobody knows, i mean, gordon brown became prime minister after tony blair left office. it's not a party thing, they all do it when they are in office, because our system argues, it is the same to me you know, they have won an election from it doesn't matter who is in charge, it is who can get their business to the house of commons, at least in our system stop i'm sorry if it sounded like a pretty political point, because... it's true that the same point and can you know, the slightly more but not very many more labour members voted for him to be a leader and therefore prime minister, ijust think if a leader steps down for whatever reason then it should go to a wider electric, it should go to a

general election because the post is so important. general election because the post is so important-— general election because the post is so important. would that compound the instability? — so important. would that compound the instability? possibly, _ so important. would that compound the instability? possibly, but- so important. would that compound the instability? possibly, but it - the instability? possibly, but it would also _ the instability? possibly, but it would also give _ the instability? possibly, but it would also give the _ the instability? possibly, but it would also give the person - the instability? possibly, but it| would also give the person who the instability? possibly, but it - would also give the person who took over as prime minister in absolute mandate, and i think the problem at the moment and gordon brown certainly felt this was that he didn't have a mandate and he waved it around going to be able because he wasn't sure that he was going to win, but i do think a politician with the courage of their convictions should go to the people to get that mandate, because otherwise they may welljust be staggering from one crisis to another losing the trust of the electorate. another losing the trust of the electorate-— another losing the trust of the electorate. ,., , ., , electorate. the point is eloquently made by the _ electorate. the point is eloquently made by the headline _ electorate. the point is eloquently made by the headline on - electorate. the point is eloquently made by the headline on the - made by the headline on the telegraph. plays to the king maker after gaining ground and third vote. the person who could actually, it's even simpler than tory mps. if one of the candidates can get their backers, if they get moved by the others, they are effectively going to hand at least the second place in

the contest, the final round will be the contest, the final round will be the other party members, but they will decide who gets into the final round and that could be critical. to be honest, that's not necessarily the case. i know that that is the story and the way that the telegraph are painting it, but for example, so ella braverman was encouraging her supporters to vote for liz truss, and clearly they didn't because she only gained seven votes, and 30 odd, so ella had i think 29, so clearly it is an indication and people are waiting to see who time to contact might back, but he is acting very wisely saying that he is not going to... for because you are you can stand back from this commanding, the whip is likely applied in the house of lords. see you guys are given a

lot more freedom than mps are. . i must admit that i probably rebelled more than any mp would get away with. limit good for you, ros, more than any mp would get away with. limit good foryou, ros, good foryou! i5 with. limit good for you, ros, good for ou! , , ., , . with. limit good for you, ros, good for ou! , , . ., ., for you! is your instinct that a new en for you! is your instinct that a new pen minister— for you! is your instinct that a new pen minister within _ for you! is your instinct that a new pen minister within a _ for you! is your instinct that a new pen minister within a certain - for you! is your instinct that a new. pen minister within a certain number of months should always go to the country, or what is your feeling? one might say that, but then that's exactly what boris johnson did one might say that, but then that's exactly what borisjohnson did and he got a thumping mandate and now look where we are. it is not clear to me that there is any foolproof way of sorting this out, but i do think that the idea that just a small number of people choose the prime minister might upset a number of people who are not heavy with the replacement choice, and at that stage, if mps themselves detect that there is public disquiet, maybe they will push for a general election

sooner than 2024. it is impossible to imagine that the conservatives will get more in the 80 seat majority they got in the last election. so it will take an awful lot to persuade mps to vote for another general election. has to sa , another general election. has to say. turkey _ another general election. has to say. turkey is — another general election. has to say, turkey is waiting _ another general election. has to say, turkey is waiting for - another general election. has to i say, turkey is waiting for christmas again, it some of them got their fingers burned, when teresa mae went, didn't need to and lost a majority. let's take you on to an interesting contrast. very interesting, this. and i think both of you will find this to be the case. i totally disappeared there. that was james. ros, we are just doing some technical tweaking with james, because his signal had been coming and going, he has re—then. let's start here first. the front of the mirror is absolutely out of step with every other front page, and i wonder what you make of it and this is basically record bakerfull sun

kissed bodies on the beach, a bloke and three women, and it's taken a shot on the sand, it's the perfect traditional water scriptures summary front page, but it feels sort of strangely out of time. blowtorch written is quite _ strangely out of time. blowtorch written is quite a _ strangely out of time. blowtorch written is quite a powerful i strangely out of time. blowtorch i written is quite a powerful headline there. and i think what it's trying to do is be more positive, and of course, some people, if you are on summer holidays or you have booked a summer holidays or you have booked a summer holidays or you have booked a summer holiday and you couldn't go, might be thinking this is a stroke of luck, if you got time off work and you can go to the beach and you can enjoy this weather, it is fabulous, but a lot of people who are trying to work or get around the country and being held up by the various problems that we've got with travel and so on will not feel quite so optimistic, and the contrast with the independent, for example, with

the independent, for example, with the photo of fields, ploughed fields, fields growing crops on fire and fire engines struggling to put out those scorching fields. that is the real downside. this out those scorching fields. that is the real downside.— out those scorching fields. that is the real downside. this is the beach of north tyneside, _ the real downside. this is the beach of north tyneside, and _ the real downside. this is the beach of north tyneside, and if _ the real downside. this is the beach of north tyneside, and if we - the real downside. this is the beach of north tyneside, and if we move, | of north tyneside, and if we move, if i do a revealfrom of north tyneside, and if we move, if i do a reveal from that, of north tyneside, and if we move, if i do a revealfrom that, we do of north tyneside, and if we move, if i do a reveal from that, we do a reveal to what the independent has, a wildfire near chesterfield in derbyshire yesterday was one of two dozen recorded injust 48 hours as britain welders. emergency vehicles trying to attend, a huge chunk of crops goes up in flames. james, what do you make you're obviously going to approve of the independent�*s front page, i assume, what do you make of the mere's front page? i agree with you. it is slightly outdated, and by the way, sorry i disappeared there, i think i may have _ disappeared there, i think i may have been— disappeared there, i think i may have been cut off by liz truss's

and she followed that up with the javelin, where her first throw of 39.18 was her best effort of the day — only good enough for 12th. overall, she's in seventh position with only the 800 metres race to go. that gets underway in the early hours of tomorrow morning. meanwhile ethiopia's gotytom gebreslase posted a world championship—record time to win the women's marathon. she survived a two—way battle with kenya'sjudith korir. gebreslase broke away with about two k to go and never gave korir a chance down the final stretch to cross finishing line in two hours, 18 minutes and 11 seconds, smashing paula radcliffe's previous mark set in 2005. england's odi against south africa in durham tomorrow will be ben stokes' last in the format after he announced his retirement from the 50 over game. in a statement stokes said...
