good morning. welcome to breakfast with mejon kay here at the beautiful droitwich lido in worcestershire, and nina warhurst in the studio. our headlines today... after yesterday's scorching temperatures, today could be even hotter, possibly as high as 42 degrees — a new record. the met office has issued a red extreme heat warning for a second day running and there'll be extra ambulances and emergency call handlers.

good morning from an empty and quiet king's cross station. the hot weather causing widespread cancellations and disruption across the row network. passengers being advised not to travel. i will have all the details. lam iamat i am at chester the witch for the first time — i am at chester the witch for the first time in 90 years is closed to the public— first time in 90 years is closed to the public because of the heat. the city the _ the public because of the heat. the city the red — the public because of the heat. the city the red zone.— the public because of the heat. the city the red zone. good morning from kew gardens- — city the red zone. good morning from kew gardens. yesterday _ city the red zone. good morning from kew gardens. yesterday was - city the red zone. good morning from kew gardens. yesterday was the - kew gardens. yesterday was the hottest day of the year so far with temperatures in southwark reaching 38.2 celsius. in the east of england we could see in excess of 42 degrees. also in the vale of york and lincolnshire. 2.5 million public sector workers will today find out the pay rise they'll be getting this year. good morning in sport.

great britain claim their first medal of the world athletics championships, as laura muir takes bronze in the 1500 metres in oregon. good morning. welcome to droitwich lido. how did you sleep last night? i had a terrible night's sleep, i think most of us did. how much do we want to leap in there right now? these are the first swimmers to turn up. they are fully booked throughout the morning. they will be coming in their dozens in the next few hours. never been more popular to start the day. it was boiling hot yesterday. the message from the met office, we haven't seen anything yet. today could possibly be into the 40s celsius. we have never seen that in the uk. we will reflect on what we learned yesterday what we can expect to date. we know there is a second

red alert for extreme heat in place in much of the south—east of england, up here into the west and east midlands and the north of england as well, much further north than we would normally expect to have this kind of extreme weather event. carol is on hand with all the latest. it could get to 42 degrees today. here is this from jane mccubbin. in many areas yesterday was record—breakingly hot. how are you feeling? hot! congratulations. today is likely to be even hotter. are you coping under those layers? i'm melting. absolutely melting. at salford university's graduation day, it topped 36 degrees. 36 degrees, and you are wearing a three—piece suit? this is a very special moment for me. so i wanted to make sure that i am dressed for the part. yeah. cheers! have you known a day like this?

never, never. this is crazy. crazy. and it's going to get worse. on tuesday. i'm staying in. at luton airport, filights were suspended as the mercury hit 38, leaving the runway in need of emergency repairs. today, rail companies warn of significant disruption with services cancelled. but, for so many, like kwame in reading, work must go on. i've got more water inside my barrow. first one. second one. third one. the fourth one, i'm on it. so i bring more water. even my boss told me to drink them to cool my temper. important, hey? yeah, it's very important. but it is a challenge to keep going. on this cambridge building site, workers either moved inside or simply went home. roofers were put off. some of the other trades have just said they're not coming in because it's too hot to work. so we are where we are. inside until we call

it a day and go home. just looking after the workers. yeah, absolutely. if we're two or three days late, then we're two or three days late. in london, temperatures usually only seen overseas, while wales recorded its hottest day ever at 37 degrees in flintshire. the met office says temperatures today could peak at 42 — all of which has prompted this message from the prince of wales. and as i've tried to indicate for quite some time, the climate crisis really is a genuine emergency and tackling it is utterly essential. already, temperatures have made waterways tempting and deadly. yesterday, a 16—year—old boy died here in maidenhead. last night, a 14—year—old boy was presumed dead, after going missing while swimming in the thames. leading to this warning from the health secretary. there's a particular message, particularly for teenagers, children — some of those who may be tempted to go for a swim. there's significant dangers of that, quite often when people go swimming in rivers, when we have very hot weather.

these are temperatures to be endured, or enjoyed. just look at this! 7pm last night in hove. a new kind of rush hour for a new kind of climate. here it has been a rasher of a different kind at six o'clock in the morning. we have had people queueing to get some nice, fresh, salty water here in the spa. it is original spa water they use which helps to feed this a day. the relief as they get in the water after a hot and stuffy night at home in bedrooms. if you have been suffering overnight and struggled to sleep, let me explain why.

to give you an idea of how hot it was — heathrow, guernsey and east midlands airports recorded temperatures of 29 degrees celsius at 11pm. normally it doesn't get that high during the day at this time of year but it was 29 degrees as we approached midnight. that might explain why you are feeling a bit groggy. surgery has been cancelled at some hospitals. operating theatres have got far too hot to be able to safely carry out work. there is a heat exhaustion service. the number of referrals they have received a 525% higher than a week ago. this time last week was quite warm. that increase is quite something. fire services are also warning there will be more wildfires

in the next few days — crews have tackled a large blaze that broke out in lickey hills near birmingham. that really stretched the emergency services and they have more they will be doing today. every time they attend one event, it means they cannot get to another one. the knock—on effect will be really tricky. we are also asking about how is this heatwave, this experience, this first time we had ever got to these temperatures, how is it linked to climate change? what does it mean about the future? will this kind of thing happen more often? our science correspondent, victoria gill, has this report. the temperatures above a0 degrees that are forecast in england later today are unprecedented. and the sheer intensity of this heat, scientists say, is being fuelled by climate change.

this type of heatwave is very worrying, and it is a little bit of a taste of things to come. we're expecting heatwaves to be more intense, to have these very high temperatures and to be longer, last longer, and be more frequent. with our shifting weather patterns, conservationists are concerned about wildfires and other lasting impacts on nature. this looks so dry. peat should be wet. it shouldn't be like this. this moss peatland in the north west of england should be saturated. the team here says that climate change is degrading this precious peatland mud, and that that will have knock—on effects for our environment. it's the change in weather pattern, so we're getting more and more periods of little rainfall or no rainfall. and because of that, then, you know, we're talking nearly a metre, probably even further down, which is actually dry peat. and peat should be wet. peat should be wet. we should have sphagnum on top of it, the right type of plants, so it can suck in and store carbon. human greenhouse gas emissions have already warmed the world by, on average, about 1.1 celsius,

and global temperatures continue to rise. so while we're promised respite from this dangerously hot spell by the middle of the week, there's no break in sight from our changing climate. we'll all need to prepare for more extremes in the future. victoria gill, bbc news. those extremes already causing problems across the channel in mainland europe. we talked about wildfires in the midlands that they have seen terrible ones in some parts of southern europe. in southwest france, thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes as firefighters continue to tackle blazes along the atlantic coast. dozens of fires continue in spain with official data saying the amount of land burnt so far this year is already the most in the last ten years. that gives you a sense of the scale of what they are dealing with. one man here who has already had a busy

need to talk to carol with prospects of temperatures in the 405. it is interesting. yesterday we did not quite get to the record although some breakfast viewers said they had their monitors in the shade and they were peeking above a0 where they were. all the data has not been collected yet. we think the hottest yesterday was 38.2 celsius in suffolk yesterday. when you have a thermometer and you hold it up, for example, in the sun, you find the thermometer warms up and it does not record the air temperature around it because it is in direct sunlight. the way we measure temperatures is on a uniform unit everywhere. it is at a certain height, in the shade.

wherever you go, the situation it is in will be the same. that is why we can measure like for like year in and year out. it is a standard. it allows you to do the constant monitoring. about the situation today, the message seems to be yesterday was really hot but we haven't seen anything yet, right? that is right. temperatures today will be a shoot—out. we expect it to be hotter than yesterday. part of the reason is we have had another tropical night. that is when temperatures do not full lower than 20 degrees. for some of us they have not fallen lower than 25. the final figures will being around seven o'clock this morning. we are starting with a much higher threshold this morning. the sun is not at night but it is coming out now. as the sun heats everything, temperatures will shoot up. the

places we are likely to get hottest are east midlands, the midlands, east anglia and lincolnshire. it will make it the hottest day of the year so far and also smash the all—time heat record in the uk. not necessarily something i had to say we want to smash, john. absolutely. some of us — we want to smash, john. absolutely. some of us were _ we want to smash, john. absolutely. some of us were lulled _ we want to smash, john. absolutely. some of us were lulled into - we want to smash, john. absolutely. some of us were lulled into a - we want to smash, john. absolutely. some of us were lulled into a full - some of us were lulled into a full sense of security last night, thinking that we had got through yesterday but today actually is the main day. thank you very much. we will check in later. how much would you like to be in there having a swim? , , ., ., ., ,, swim? definitely. i have a lake behind me _ swim? definitely. i have a lake behind me as _ swim? definitely. i have a lake behind me as well. _ swim? definitely. i have a lake behind me as well. i— swim? definitely. i have a lake behind me as well. i might - swim? definitely. i have a lake behind me as well. i might getj swim? definitely. i have a lake i behind me as well. i might get in for a paddle. we behind me as well. i might get in for a paddle-— for a paddle. we could do synchronised _ for a paddle. we could do synchronised swimming l for a paddle. we could do - synchronised swimming across the country. what about that? that sounds like _ country. what about that? that sounds like a _ country. what about that? that sounds like a good _ country. what about that? twat

a small quantities. the victorians used to come in here and take the waters in droitwich spa. not quite enough to keep you afloat, not like the dead sea, but they seem to be enjoying it. thank you. we will be back with you later. now for the other news today. conservative mps will vote today on the last four candidates who are left in the running to be the next party leader — and the country's next prime minister. our political correspondent ione wells reports. tom tugendhat is eliminated from the election. the other candidates are able to go forward. another day, another vote. the list of who could be the next prime minister is now down to four. it was a good night for the former chancellor, rishi sunak. he made gains with more mps choosing to back him. less so for penny mordaunt, who lost a supporter,

but she's still in second place. good morning. the foreign secretary, liz truss, is eyeing up that spot, though, making seven gains last night. not as many gains as kemi badenoch, though. her team thinks she has the momentum over liz truss and penny mordaunt, after making nine gains, despite still being in fourth place. well, thank you very much. that is the end of the road for me, for this race. and it was game over for tom tugendhat, whose votes are now up for grabs in today's vote among tory mps. by wednesday, we'll know who the final two candidates are to replace borisjohnson, whose campaigns will battle it out over the summer. today, its expected the government will accept the recommendation from various public pay bodies to increase the salaries of workers, including teachers, some nhs workers, the police and the armed forces by close to 5%. but union leaders have already threatened industrial action,

arguing this would be a real terms pay cut. all the candidates hoping to replace borisjohnson have said they would also not support raising public sector workers' pay in line with inflation. so one job that will land straight in the next prime minister's in—tray is how they might deal with possible further strikes. ione wells, bbc news. an announcement is due today on public sector pay increases for staff including nurses, doctors, teachers and the armed forces. let's talk to our political correspondent, nick eardley. inflation is high, above 9%. there will be pressure on the government for wages to come closer to that. morning. 2.5 million people are waiting to find out what their pay deal will be. it is a really big deal, what we see this afternoon. my expectation is broadly we will see

pay rises of around 5% for the next year. there will probably be some discrepancies in that the people on the lower end of the pay scale, they might get more. people at the high—end of the pay scale may get a bit less. sounds like the vast majority of these pay deals will be quite a bit below inflation, actually. inflation could be up to 11% by actually. inflation could be up to ii% by the autumn. that has left a union saying this will be a real terms pay cut for millions of people. there has been talk about potentially industrial action in some sectors. the idea of this summer of discontent. the argument the government is making the argument you hearfrom the government is making the argument you hear from the chancellor, nadhim zahawi this evening, you need to get public finances on a sound footing, you need to show restraint when it comes to public spending and that means he cannot give whatever pay rises people want. there is a big battle

about this. to compensate for the rise in cost of living, you have to make these pages roughly the same as inflation. others are saying if you want to get inflation under control, you need to make sure these pay deals are restrained. we will get the full details this afternoon. it does sound like there is a big row coming. does sound like there is a big row comini. . ., does sound like there is a big row comini. ., ,, i. as we've been discussing, teachers will be among those waiting to hear what their pay rise will be. but there's a warning that many are planning to leave the profession for good. our education correspondent elaine dunkley reports. good morning, everybody. good morning, mr lamorte! how are you? good. sometimes, you really do havejoyful moments in teaching. that's what we want to keep hold of. sometimes the challenge in schools like ours is that you forget the good stuff.

you get bogged down with the stuff that's really challenging. it's being a social worker. it's being a doctor. it's being a mother. it's being a father. it's being everything to that child. for head teacher mr lamorte, every term at wychall primary in birmingham brings its rewards, but also many challenges. budgets are tight and staff turnover is high. this year, nearly half the staff have left, mainly because of the pressures. it's a really difficult time for schools because the need of children from the pandemic is significant. teachers here are getting children on a very, very low starting point, and there's a pressure on to get them to national average. and then you couple that with having a larger number of children with special educational needs, with less funding, it makes it very, very difficult in school, resulting in some challenging behaviour. we've got some very, very strong teachers here, some very experienced teachers, who are really struggling, and it's in part due to the increased needs that we have. teaching has always been a demanding job, but the pandemic has brought

additional pressures and there are issues over pay and workload. we've spoken to teachers across the country, who are leaving the profession. the whole education structure needs to change and there also needs to be systems in place to help with pupil behaviour because it's getting out of control. i was trained to teach secondary school science, to teach pupils what are sailors, to teach pupils what it's like to be a forensic scientist, to teach people about richard iii, which is something i'm very passionate about, and ancient egyptians. i wanted to be able to do that. yeah, it's really... it was, like, one of the biggest mistakes i've made, i think, was taking training to become a teacher. just by the amount of work and the stress that it put me under. like i said, i put on loads of weight, it affected my mental health really badly. it was awful. teaching unions are warning that nine out of ten schools and colleges in england are experiencing difficulties in recruiting staff, particularly

maths and science teachers. is that a september position that you're interested in? this recruitment agency supply staff to hundreds of schools across the midlands. it's busier than ever. schools are needing supply teachers to fill vacancies. if you can get out to colleges, get out to universities, they're struggling. so... and the chief executive, daniel dawkins, has spotted a problem for teachers new to the profession. the head teacher sent an e—mail to me directly requesting roles to be filled — year 2, year 3, year a roles needed to be filled. and, specifically, in the subject line, the head teacher said no early career teachers because we can't... we haven't got the capacity in school to support those. and i just think that's real. that's indicative of the problem that schools are facing. their already stretched capacity and they're now unable, because of that capacity issue, to then take on early—year teachers.

yeah, he made art that was colourful. he was a pop artist. at houlton high in rugby, mr hill has just finished his first year as a teacher. i don't think anything can prepare you for life in in the classroom when you step in to that first day because it isn't easy, but i wouldn't have it any other way. i absolutely adore teaching. for mr hill, it's been a great year teaching design technology. he says getting the right support is crucial. the workload is excessive. the workload can sometimes be overwhelming. however, there isn't a teacher in the school that isn't feeling the same, or has been through it. i've learnt that you've got to speak up. you know, i don't think there's any harm in saying, "this week, actually, i'm just feeling a little bit overwhelmed." the department for education says the number of teachers in the system remains high and the government has proposed the highest pay awards in a generation for new teachers, alongside further pay awards for more experienced teachers and leaders. a great day is a day

you see lots of happy, smiling children in school. enjoy those light bulb moments when they suddenly... children are suddenly realising they've clicked and they've got something. and going home with a smile on yourface, that's a good day. it's nearing the end of term. for many teachers, it will be a much—needed break from the classroom. but teaching unions are warning that more support is needed to stop teachers leaving the profession for good. elaine dunkley, bbc news. the update on public sector pay coming later. let's have a quick look at how it is where we are in salford quays. temperatures already at 23 degrees here in salford. very unusualfor at 23 degrees here in salford. very unusual for half past six. the record yesterday was in suffolk. we wait to see whether a0 degrees will be reached for the first time. before we get the news where you are,

let's see how it's looking outside the studio here in salford. good morning from bbc london, i'm alison earle. it's feared a ia—year old boy who went missing in the river thames in west london has drowned. he's thought to have entered the water at tagg's island in hampton just before five yesterday evening. a search was carried out by emergency services and members of the public. it comes after the death of a 16—year—old boy who got into difficulty in bray lake near maidenhead. authorities are reminding people not to cool off in waterways and reservoirs. rail passengers are being warned of more disruption as the extreme heat continues to affect tubes and trains. at king's cross, there'll be no services north this afternoon because of high temperatures. the east coast main line will also close along with services to bedford. the trains that are running will be slower than usual. so it means extended journey times. we have reduced some of the services across the region. we are trying to run a service that people can rely on, but we are saying to people, please, only travel if it's absolutely essential,

because there will be disruption. we are running with speed restrictions and there are a number of ongoing challenges out on the network. as the end of the school term approaches, research suggests parents are paying more than double the amount for childcare during the holidays as they do during term time. a study by the children's charity coram found summer childcare prices have risen by 5% compared with last year. it also found availability is patchy, especially for children with additional needs. travel now — and lots of issues. there's no service on the hammersmith and city line due to heat related speed restrictions. there's no service on the metropolitan line between baker street and aldgate. there's no service on the overground between willesden junction to claphamjunction and romford to upminster. severe delays on the district line. and there are minor delays on the elizabeth line. time for the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's been an exceptionally warm night. temperatures for some not

dropping below the mid 20s. the met office has the red weather warning in place for the extreme heat and it is going to be another exceptionally hot day today. there is a lot of sunshine around and temperatures widely once again getting up into the high 30s. but the home counties, for essex, you mightjust get a0 celsius through today, so a touch warmer than yesterday. now, this cloud moving through is actually a cold front — could get a few showers on that, some rumbles of thunder through the evening, but the temperature is still going to be a warm one overnight. quite humid, though, quite sticky. the minimum not dropping much below 19 celsius. now, it is going to be a cooler day tomorrow. got a couple of fronts moving through and that's going to bring some welcome showers. but again, some rumbles of thunder potentially through the course of wednesday. but the temperature — by any standards, it is still going to be a hot day, but it's just going to be cooler than the last couple of days, with the maximum temperature of 27 or 28 celsius, some 10, ii, 12 degrees cooler. now, as we head further through the week,

it is getting cooler still for thursday and friday. warmer again for the weekend, just not as warm as the last couple of days. that's it for the moment. but there's lots more on our website and social media. i'm back with another round—up in half an hour. now it's back tojon and nina on breakfast. good morning. you're watching bbc breakfast, this boiling hot tuesday and we are live this morning from droitwich spa lido in worcestershire, look at it, it's like an oasis of calm and refreshment in the middle of all this dry, hot weather. and today we are expecting the temperatures to be even hotter than they were yesterday, so if you thought yesterday, so if you thought yesterday was stifling and difficult to deal with, just wait until today. but these guys have the right idea and they have come down here to refresh themselves this morning.

refreshment calm down and get some exercise. forsome refreshment calm down and get some exercise. for some people, refreshment calm down and get some exercise. forsome people, relying on public transport, it is far from relaxing this morning. they have all sorts of problems to deal with. ben is at king's cross in london. how is it looking? indeed. there will be many _ how is it looking? indeed. there will be many passages _ how is it looking? indeed. there will be many passages trying - how is it looking? indeed. there will be many passages trying to. how is it looking? indeed. there i will be many passages trying to get around today who would rather be swapping places with susie, i imagine, and cooling off in a night light out like the one you're at. welcome to king's cross station. this is normally the morning peak but there are virtually no people here. take a look in the concourse, very, very few passengers. a picture tells a thousand words but the story of the disruption is really very much told by the departure boards. if you have a look around atjust over there, special notices about the extreme weather, causing cancellations, and when the train services appear up there, cancel,

cancel, consult. that's because there are no services running north out of this, one of the uk's major railway stations at all today. let me run you through the details of how extensive the disruption will be for anyone trying to get a by train. here at king's cross is where some of the biggest disruption lies, with the east coast main line closed from midday today, but many operators on this line are choosing not run any trains all day. and that is a really big problem, because about 220,000 passengers a day would normally pass through the station using that line. and about a third of the uk population lives within 20 minutes of a station along the east coast main line. so a lot of disruption for people who would normally rely on it. elsewhere there is also widespread disruption, the

train operator cap bird —— northern this morning that services will be disrupted, they say people should not travel if they can possibly avoid it. some roots in the north—west will also be affected. it is also worth saying even if your service is running, allow extra time because there are speed restrictions on many lines, many trains running no faster than 90 mph, in some cases as slow as 20 miles per r. notjust the railways affected. have a look at what happened at luton airport, they had to close the runway yesterday because the extreme heat caused a defect on the tarmac, so for safety reasons they had to close it. it reopened after 6pm, but by then there was a massive backlog, not just of then there was a massive backlog, notjust of people trying to fly off on the holidays from luton but inbound flights as well, reports of people being stuck at holiday destinations not being able to get home until it reopened. so travel by plane disrupted as well. let's

return to the railways. we can speak to louise from an organisation who represents passengers. how bad is the disruption and what should people do if they are affected by it? fits people do if they are affected by it? �* , , ., people do if they are affected by it? a , ,, ., it? as you say, it is widespread disruption _ it? as you say, it is widespread disruption because _ it? as you say, it is widespread disruption because of— it? as you say, it is widespread disruption because of the - it? as you say, it is widespread disruption because of the heat. it? as you say, it is widespread i disruption because of the heat. it is changing through the day. last night _ is changing through the day. last night here — is changing through the day. last night here we were expecting trains would _ night here we were expecting trains would be _ night here we were expecting trains would be running in the morning, albeit— would be running in the morning, albeit at— would be running in the morning, albeit at a — would be running in the morning, albeit at a reduced service but here we are _ albeit at a reduced service but here we are and — albeit at a reduced service but here we are and the decision has been made _ we are and the decision has been made to— we are and the decision has been made to cancel trains going north. so do _ made to cancel trains going north. so do not — made to cancel trains going north. so do not travel unless you absolutely have to. if you do have to make _ absolutely have to. if you do have to make journeys, and keep checking through— to make journeys, and keep checking through the _ to make journeys, and keep checking through the day. you may have checked — through the day. you may have checked this morning and think your train is _ checked this morning and think your train is still— checked this morning and think your train is still running but it could be affected, the decision is made to cancel— be affected, the decision is made to cancel that— be affected, the decision is made to cancel that train through the day, so keep— cancel that train through the day, so keep checking. if cancel that train through the day, so keep checking.— cancel that train through the day, so keep checking. if you have spent mone on so keep checking. if you have spent money on an _ so keep checking. if you have spent money on an advanced _ so keep checking. if you have spent money on an advanced ticket, - so keep checking. if you have spent money on an advanced ticket, can i so keep checking. if you have spent i money on an advanced ticket, can you get a refund? you money on an advanced ticket, can you get a refund?— get a refund? you can. passengers will welcome _ get a refund? you can. passengers will welcome the _ get a refund? you can. passengers will welcome the fact _ get a refund? you can. passengers will welcome the fact that - get a refund? you can. passengers will welcome the fact that you - get a refund? you can. passengers will welcome the fact that you can | will welcome the fact that you can -et will welcome the fact that you can get a _ will welcome the fact that you can get a refund on tickets, they normally— get a refund on tickets, they normally aren't refundable. generally if you don't use them, you

office still has a red weather warning out for heat, extreme heat at that, so once again there is likely to be impacts on infrastructure and also on health thoughts so certainly something to bearin thoughts so certainly something to bear in mind. these red warnings are rare, even in winter we very rarely get them for snow, for example, offer storms. to really take note of this, it is the first one we have ever had for extreme heat. a change in the book is today in the west because we have some fronts coming in and they are actually going to be bringing in some rain through the day. many of us seeing a dry day with a lot of sunshine. one or two showers possible in the east. we have rain coming in across western scotland and some thundery showers moving in across south west england heading north. temperatures today in the west ranging i7 heading north. temperatures today in the west ranging 17 to 2a so not as hot as it was yesterday. push further east, we are still into the 30s, potentially about 39 in london.

but we zoom into where we expect the highest temperatures to be today, around the east midlands, also into yorkshire and lincolnshire, we could see a0 or a1, possibly even a2. this evening and overnight rain moves north on clay scotton, leaving clydebank, showers moving east across england and wales and a fair bit of coke left in the south—west by the end of the night. cool in the west and last night, but still we are looking at tropical nights for the east with the temperature not following lower than 20. into tomorrow, once again we are looking at some showers developing, particularly in the central and eastern areas. part of eastern scotland as well. but a lot of sunshine, temperatures down, but we're still a look at highs of around 29 in the south—east. as head into thursday, sunny spells, at times there will be large areas of cloud, we could see some showers coming out of that and temperatures at best roundabout 27. but it will

feel more comfortable by the time we get a thursday. if you are in england and wales as we head into the weekend, it looks very much like temperatures are going to rise once again, not to the heights we are looking at now, we're at closer to 30 celsius, which is still above average for the time of year. which incidentally is 19 in edinburgh and 2a in london. so it shows you how far off the mark we are currently. and how varied it is! thank you so much. we are having a lovely time here at droitwich spa lido. it is refreshing, are you getting some of that refreshment through the tv this morning with that you can feel the cooling, briny water on your faces. i think we all need to cool down this money. people here with big smiles as they get in and cool down and calm down. and maybe there are some sports going on here that we could report on.

winning bronze in the 1500 metres. good morning, the world athletics championship has continued overnight in oregon, with mixed success for gb. a hard—fought bronze for laura muir saw her claim a world finals medalfor the first time, however disappointment in the heptathlon as katarina johnson—thompson finishes eighth, ending her reign as world champion. andy swiss reports from eugene. a first medalfor britain, and one of the gutsiest you will ever see. for laura muir, another night to remember. after winning silver at last year's olympics, she began the 1500 with high hopes. but as the two favourites charged off at a blistering pace, it was a case ofjust clinging on. she couldn't catch the winner, faith kipyegon, or gudaf tsegay, but muir's reward was a battling bronze. at the end, her utter exhaustion was plain to see, but after missing a medal at the last four world championships, so was her elation. i'm so delighted. it was all about this, you know, that's what i wanted, this world medal. fifth time trying.

i took my time, but i'm just so happy i've got it. well, what a moment, then, for laura muir. once again, she's delivered on the big stage, and britain's wait for a medal at these championships is finally over. in the heptathlon, meanwhile, katarina johnson—thompson had to settle for eighth behind the champion, belgium's nafi thiam. but dina asher—smith is safely through to the semifinals of the 200 metres — the defence of her world title is up and running. andy swiss, bbc news, eugene. soak it up today — because we wont see it again. test captain ben stokes will play his last one day match for england today in durham after announcing his retirement from the 50 over international format. it will be a fitting end at the ground where his parents made the two hour drive to get him to practise when he was starting out. but at 31, he said his body's letting him down, and that playing all three formats was unsustainable. he'll line up for england against south africa at chester—le—street for the last time

in the first of three one dayers. england's women completed a 3—0 clean sweep over south africa, winning the final one dayer by 109 runs in leicester — temperatures reaching 37 degrees. england were put into bat, tammy beaumont made 119 runs as they finished on 371—7. before england bowled them out for 262 with 26 balls to spare. it's three t20s up next for both sides. italy are out of the euros after losing 1—0 to belgium at manchester city's academy stadium. it was early into the second half when tinne de caigny�*s goal was enough to put the belgians into the quarterfinals. they'll play sweden next. in the other quarterfinal, france drew 1—1 with iceland. melvine malard scored with less than a minute on the clock. iceland equalised late with a penalty, but it wasn't enough to help them join the french in the last eight.

do you think it has been handled? it do you think it has been handled? it is really hot, and it is really scary. i think the first thing to say is that this feels unusual at the moment, but it is increasingly going to become the new normal. that's what all the scientists are telling us. the planet is warmer than it's been for 125,000 years and we are seeing the consequences here in the uk. the truth is, we'rejust ready. you have got melting tracks, you have got melting runways, you have got schools closing early, and it's a sign that we are not ready and we are not doing nearly enough as a country to tackle the climate crisis. we have to do both things we have to become more resilient as a country and we have to go all in on tackling what is the biggest threat, the biggest long—term threat we face as a country. so the biggest long-term threat we face as a country-— as a country. so there are two very expensive _ as a country. so there are two very expensive areas, _ as a country. so there are two very expensive areas, prevention i as a country. so there are two very expensive areas, prevention and i expensive areas, prevention and dealing with the status quo for the already eliminating net greenhouse

gas emissions from the uk would come to a bill of1.a gas emissions from the uk would come to a bill of la trillion to hit that net zero target by 2050. then you need money on top of that to deal with the infrastructure of the inevitable temperature increases, where will that money come from? let me 'ust where will that money come from? let me just set out what the costs actually are going to be, because that figure you quote, 1.a trillion, is rolled up over a long period, 30 or a0 years. and actually, the costs are less than 1% of our national income, and that is public—sector and private—sector money together. something really important here, which is, i have been at this long time, i used to say this is the right ethical choice for the country, it is now the right economic choice for the country. if you take up renewable solar power, onshore wind power, offshore wind power, its much cheaper than gas, so what i can say to you is, let's

go hell for leather for those things, renewable power, what i energy spent, that's the things, renewable power, what| energy spent, that's the right things, renewable power, what i energy spent, that's the right thing for the climate crisis and also the right thing to cut bills for families who are deeply worried about the cost—of—living crisis. when people say this is really costly, it's actually looking much less costly than it did as a result of what we're seeing, because because fossil fuel prices, for example. because fossil fuel prices, for example-— because fossil fuel prices, for exam-le. , , , because fossil fuel prices, for exam-le. , ,, example. the green energy spent you talk about, example. the green energy spent you talk about. to — example. the green energy spent you talk about, to make _ example. the green energy spent you talk about, to make that _ example. the green energy spent you talk about, to make that transition i talk about, to make that transition at a time when we are already stretched as a nation and in our homes, it will cost a lot of money, wanted, in the immediate? iterate homes, it will cost a lot of money, wanted, in the immediate? we have said it is right _ wanted, in the immediate? we have said it is right for _ wanted, in the immediate? we have said it is right for us _ wanted, in the immediate? we have said it is right for us to _ wanted, in the immediate? we have said it is right for us to invest - said it is right for us to invest £28 billion a year, and we would borrow to do that because it's the right thing to do, is the right investment to make. and you know why thatis investment to make. and you know why that is the case? if we do not act, and this is what all the experts tell us, it will us a lot more than if we don't. —— then if we do act.

we are notjust good to see a0 degrees in the uk, we will see significantly higher temperatures even than that. so we have got to act, it's the right thing to do, and there are practical things we can do. let's take insulation, that is an issue in the winter, it is an issue in the summer, as 20% of our homes are overheating in the summer. if we invest in the 19 million badly insulated hood, it can cut bills for families, can createjobs insulated hood, it can cut bills for families, can create jobs and insulated hood, it can cut bills for families, can createjobs and our country and it can cut carbon emissions. so the thing i would say the government and the tory leadership candidates, we have seen them all debating, they are all running away from zero, saying that it's not the right... they are questioning whether it is the right thing to do, i would say, it absolutely is the right thing to do and it is an abdication of our duty notjust of the and it is an abdication of our duty not just of the future but and it is an abdication of our duty notjust of the future but now if don't act. ~ ,.,

he made gains with more mps choosing to back him. less so for penny mordaunt, who lost a supporter, but she's still in second place. good morning. the foreign secretary, liz truss, is eyeing up that spot, though, making seven gains last night. not as many gains as kemi badenoch, though. her team thinks she has the momentum over liz truss and penny mordaunt, after making nine gains, despite still being in fourth place. well, thank you very much. that is the end of the road for me, for this race. and it was game over for tom tugendhat, whose votes are now up for grabs in today's vote among tory mps. by wednesday, we'll know who the final two candidates are to replace borisjohnson, whose campaigns will battle it out over the summer. today, it's expected the government will accept the recommendation an announcement is due today

on public sector pay increases for staff including nurses, doctors, teachers and the armed forces. let's talk to our political correspondent, nick eardley. with inflation above 9%, there will be pressure for wage increases to match stop you are absolutely right. this is a big deal which covers 2.5 million people. they will all find out this afternoon what their pay rise next year will look like. my expectation is it will broadly be around 5%. across the public sector. there will be some discrepancies. i think people who are on the higher end of the pay scale may get slightly smaller increases, people at the lower end of the pay scale may get slightly higher increases. none of it is really going to match the rate of inflation. as you say, 9% just now. there are predictions

it will peak at 11% in the autumn. unions are saying unless you match that, you're basically offering people a real terms pay cut. there is already talk about potentially more industrial action over the next few months. we have heard a lot about the idea of a summer of discontent, given how many sectors of feeling the pinch. the argument you will hear from the government today when they set out these pay deals is there needs to be some responsibility in this. that earned the chancellor nadhim zahawi is using a sound public finances, not getting carried away and spending too much money. —— they turned the chancellor. there is an ideological battle between people saying the cost of living is so high you need to increase wages to match it and those saying if you want to keep inflation under control, you need to make sure pay does not increase too much. it will be this afternoon when

we get the specific details.— we get the specific details. thank ou. we get the specific details. thank yom there _ we get the specific details. thank you. there has _ we get the specific details. thank you. there has been _ we get the specific details. thank you. there has been a _ we get the specific details. thank you. there has been a record - we get the specific details. thank you. there has been a record fall| we get the specific details. thank l you. there has been a record fall in regular pay when figures are adjusted. growth was above 4% between march and may. when you take in the rising cost of living, there was a 2.8% full, the biggest ever drop in regular pay for workers. their latest employment figures out this morning show the number ofjob vacancies has risen again to nearly 1.3 million. the jobless rate remains low stop these figures are leading to difficult discussions in offices and factories across the uk.

workers struggling to keep up with the rising cost of living are understandably asking for pay rises, while bosses who are also facing higher costs need to keep salaries competitive if they want to retain their staff. we spoke to dan and max, a worker and boss from a doughnut company in derby, about the pressures. so today we are making that bad boy biscoff. it's one of our bestselling doughnuts. i drive to work. the price of diesel has just gone through the roof, so that's obviously been a big factor for me. i drive past a petrol station on the way and you just keep seeing the price go up and up and up. you definitely see it in the pay packet, obviously. that is staying the same but costs are going up. so i think my last pay rises properly when a minimum wage went up a couple of months ago. people need a little extra at the moment, for sure. you know that your employers are obviously facing a lot of costs going up as well. we do a lot of events, we use a lot of vehicles. they are also experiencing hard times. do i put the pressure on the company as well? yes. it's definitely a tricky debate, really.

at the moment it's probably the hardest period since i've owned a business for finding stuff. there just doesn't seem to be anybody out there. so we gave everybody a pay rise back in april across the board in line with minimum wage increase but since that, there's been talk of inflation, there's been a lot of things on the news about huge national companies going on strike, trying to get 15% pay rises. our colleagues are seeing that. people have come to us and asked for pay rises. it's really tough for us at the moment because we are dealing with all the cost increases across—the—board, and at the same time, colleagues asking for pay rises as well. it's not an easy time to own a business. staff shortages and rising costs mean care providers are struggling to deliver help to people who are disabled and the elderly. there are calls for the government to take immediate action, as our social affairs editor alison holt reports. a lovely day for it. i know. even in a heatwave, sam and melissa

spend their day driving from client to client in leeds, providing vital care which allows people to stay in their own homes. one 96—year—old has just returned from hospital. i think the girls actually took her flowers this morning, just to say sort of, welcome home, yeah. their pay has recently increased to £11 an hour but rising fuel prices mean they still struggle to pay their bills. for 32—year—old sam, it means her parents help out buying her food. and i go home on a night time, i'm probably going to be the only one to admit it but there's going to be many out there that do the same and it's literally cereal or toast and bed. even though i get help from my mum and dad to buy my shopping and things, it still only the necessities that i will put on them. in all honesty, i have thought, is it worth staying doing the job? i do stay because i do actually love theirjob.

i don't know what else i'd do because i've done it that long. sometimes you do think, is it worth it? today's report by directors of council care services in england says more people are asking for support in the community. family carers are breaking down because i —— they cannot get enough help, yet staff shortages and rising costs mean care homes are closing beds and impair providers handing back council work. the boss of sam and melissa's care company says on some contracts they are losing money. he has increased pay by ii%, the mileage allowance by 33%, but people are still leaving. since april, we've lost 10% of our workforce with people saying theyjust cannot afford to do the job. it is costing them sometimes in excess of £30, £40 a week in order to be able to drive to clients to be able to deliver the quality service they want to deliver. i am extremely worried, probably the most worried i have ever been.

cath roth runs council care services in leeds. they have already increased the money they pay care companies but it is not enough. she says the government needs to tackle the problems before winter pressures arrive. we know that the consequences of what is happening at the moment is people are not getting care. we have areas of the country where we have care deserts and it causes real hardship for families that are struggling to care for their loved ones on their own. at its worst, i think it places people at risk of harm. the government has said it is reforming the care system and putting billions of pounds of extra funding into social care, including money to retain staff. alison holt, bbc news. we are this morning talking about rising temperatures. everybody is finding their own way of coping with the heat. what about the

a search was carried out by emergency services and members of the public. it comes after the death of a 16—year—old boy who got into difficulty in bray lake near maidenhead. authorities are reminding people not to cool off in waterways and reservoirs. rail passengers are being warned of more disruption as the heat continues to affect tubes and trains. at king's cross, there'll be no services north this afternoon because of high temperatures. the east coast main line will also close along with services to bedford. the trains that are running will be slower than usual. so it means extended journey times. we have reduced some of the services across the region. we are trying to run a service that people can rely on, but we are saying to people, please, only travel if it's absolutely essential, because there will be disruption. we are running with speed restrictions and there are a number of ongoing challenges out on the network. as the end of the school term approaches, a study suggests parents are paying more than double the amount for childcare

during the holidays as they do during term time. research by the children's charity coram found summer childcare prices have risen by 5% compared with last year. it also found availability is patchy, especially for children with additional needs. travel now, and lots of issues. there's no service on the hammersmith and city line due to heat related speed restrictions. there's no service on the metropolitan line between baker street and aldgate. there's no service on the overground between willesden junction to claphamjunction and romford to upminster. severe delays on the district and central lines. and there are minor delays on thejubilee and elizabeth lines. time for the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's been an exceptionally warm night. temperatures for some not dropping below the mid 20s. the met office has the red weather warning in place for the extreme heat and it is going to be another exceptionally hot day today. there is a lot of sunshine around and temperatures widely once again getting up into the high 30s.

but the home counties, for essex, you mightjust get 40 celsius through today, so a touch warmer than yesterday. now, this cloud moving through is actually a cold front — could get a few showers on that, some rumbles of thunder through the evening, but the temperature is still going to be a warm one overnight. quite humid, though, quite sticky. the minimum not dropping much below 19 celsius. now, it is going to be a cooler day tomorrow. got a couple of fronts moving through and that's going to bring some welcome showers. but again, some rumbles of thunder potentially through the course of wednesday. but the temperature — by any standards, it is still going to be a hot day, but it's just going to be cooler than the last couple of days, with the maximum temperature of 27 or 28 celsius, some 10, 11, 12 degrees cooler. now, as we head further through the week, it is getting cooler still for thursday and friday. warmer again for the weekend, just not as warm as the last couple of days. that's it for the moment. but there's lots more on our website and social media. now it's back to

jon and nina on breakfast. i'm back with another round—up an hour. good morning. half past seven on tuesday the 19th ofjuly 2022, a day which could well go down in history books because if you thought yesterday was hot, chances are, where you are watching this morning, it's going to be even hotter this afternoon. that is when temperatures in this heatwave are expected to peakis in this heatwave are expected to peak is that we have come for a bit of fresh air, a bit of cool water, to the droitwich spa lido, which is the most beautiful spot. there has been a lie down here since the 19305. it is partly saltwater, they refurbished it about 15 years ago, it is a popular spot, they were queueing up to come at six o'clock this morning, just to get a bit of refreshment after a hot and stuffy, sleepless night, as i think we all

know only too well. i hope your night was all right. thanks for us this morning, maybe you are up a bit earlier than you are usually because it has been quite a struggle. a lot of people have been looking back to 1976, that big heatwave. they have been asking, is this year, what we are going through, is it really that different from the 19705 and if so, do we need to be that concerned? the bbc�*s analysis editor ros atkins examines why this heatwave is different to ones the uk has experienced before. the uk is breaking temperature records. it is a heatwave, it has kept people off work and children are still on for some it has brought to mind the wrecker back in summer of 1976. to mind the wrecker back in summer of1976. but to mind the wrecker back in summer of 1976. but what's happening now is not the same as what happened then. 1976 was indeed a heatwave and we have had heatwaves before but the point is, they are getting more frequent and they're becoming more intense. in frequent and they're becoming more intense.

speak now to the transport secretary, grant shapps. thank you forjoining with this, i hope you are dealing with heat ok in the studio which it is not too bad in the studio. glad to hear it. shall we start with where things are this morning? there are a lot of people who are thinking, should they leave the house, should they get on a go to the airport, what the transport plans should be. what is your advice to the british public this morning given the disruption that could be head?— this morning given the disruption that could be head? apply common sense, that could be head? apply common sense. would _ that could be head? apply common sense, would be _ that could be head? apply common sense, would be the _ that could be head? apply common sense, would be the first _ that could be head? apply common sense, would be the first thing - that could be head? apply common sense, would be the first thing to i sense, would be the first thing to say, stay out of the direct sunlight, and also depending on the nature of yourjourney sunlight, and also depending on the nature of your journey and the reason for it, you might want to consider rearranging your day around it, particularly to avoid the hottest part of the day if possible. we have seen a considerable amount of travel disruption, as your report just suggested. we are probably going to see the hottest day ever in the uk recorded today, and infrastructure, much of which was

built from victorian times, just wasn't built to withstand this type of temperature and it will be many years before we can replace infrastructure with a can of infrastructure with a can of infrastructure that could, because the temperatures are just so extreme. the temperatures are 'ust so extremefi the temperatures are 'ust so extreme. ~ , . , :, extreme. we saw pictures over the weekend of — extreme. we saw pictures over the weekend of rail— extreme. we saw pictures over the weekend of rail workers _ extreme. we saw pictures over the weekend of rail workers frantically| weekend of rail workers frantically painting under the tracks white to try and reflect the heat, to try and stop the tracks from buckling. can our network cope with this kind of weather? the our network cope with this kind of weather? , , ., , ., weather? the simple answer at the moment is no- _ weather? the simple answer at the moment is no. on _ weather? the simple answer at the moment is no. on the _ weather? the simple answer at the moment is no. on the ground, - weather? the simple answer at the moment is no. on the ground, it i moment is no. on the ground, it could be 50, 60, 70 degrees and more so you get in severe danger of tracks buckling and what we can't haveis tracks buckling and what we can't have is a running over those and there could be it a terrible derailment so we have to be very conscious of that which is why there are reduced speeds on large part of the network. it's notjust the

tracks, there are the overhead lines and we have seen ah on the road is under a lot of pressure but over a period of time what we're doing is upgrading the infrastructure. those are the headlines sag in the heat but the new specifications for those overhead lines can withstand higher temperatures, and that's the way that we need to go across the entire network and across all different types of transport is merely to upgrade, because we are going to see more hot weather as well as other extreme weather circumstances over the years. but extreme weather circumstances over the ears. �* :, �* , the years. but for breakfast viewers who wanted — the years. but for breakfast viewers who wanted to _ the years. but for breakfast viewers who wanted to travel _ the years. but for breakfast viewers who wanted to travel between - who wanted to travel between yorkshire and london, you can't now, or if you were due to fly out from luton airport they couldn't because the runway had to be filled in because it melted. they will be wondering, ok, you might be doing some stuff now, but this was predicted, we have a plant scientist who said they knew this day was coming around now, shouldn't we, governments over the last few decades have done much more to make

hours, that had restrictions. the only other airport i'm aware of us raf brize norton so it would not have impacted passengers. the rest actually cooked pretty well, which given the temperatures was not too bad. but again, they will need to expect there are runways for higher temperatures more often more obviously the air force will be doing that. hate obviously the air force will be doing that-— obviously the air force will be doinr that. ~ ~ :, ,, , ., doing that. we know the nhs is also stru: aalin , doing that. we know the nhs is also struggling. we _ doing that. we know the nhs is also struggling. we are — doing that. we know the nhs is also struggling, we are getting _ doing that. we know the nhs is also struggling, we are getting reports i struggling, we are getting reports of operating theatres having to close in some hospitals, already dealing with a back up covid and staff shortages. in delays with ambulance calls and paramedics. if you had to call for an ambulance for a loved one today, would you be confident you would get one in time when you needed it? i confident you would get one in time when you needed it?— confident you would get one in time when you needed it? i know that the 999 call centres _ when you needed it? i know that the 999 call centres have _ when you needed it? i know that the 999 call centres have been - when you needed it? i know that the 999 call centres have been wrapped | 999 call centres have been wrapped up 999 call centres have been wrapped up in terms of staffing over this hot period because it's notjust a question of some services like elective surgery being under pressure but also more people potentially calling, so i know they

france we just wanted to check in this morning withjess parker who is in south—west france for from bordeaux. lots of people have had to be evacuated over the last couple of days that of any sign of any respite yet? watch the fire service is that they had a very difficult night after what was a very difficult day yesterday. i don't know if you can see behind me, there are quite a lot of what appear to be cloud, and there is a bit of cloud around this morning, but that's also smoke as well, because those fires continuing to rage in these pine forests that litter the coast along here in this area. temperatures are dropping today after we saw more than 40 degrees heat yesterday and changeable winds but there are still a breeze in the air and the ground of course is so dry after the heatwave, so i think challenging conditions still for those firefighters and i spoke to a senior french official yesterday about

where those many thousands of residents would be able to return home, he was pretty frank and he said it could be days or weeks. and said it could be days or weeks. and of course it — said it could be days or weeks. and of course it is _ said it could be days or weeks. and of course it is a _ said it could be days or weeks. and of course it is a key part of france for holiday makers, lots of brits heading across the channel—mac to go camping and supposedly enjoy the summer. i guess it is causing all kinds of trouble for them? it is causina kinds of trouble for them? it 3 causing destruction. i have spoken to a few businesses here in terms of the tourism sector and of course there is going to be disruption. you mention campsites and camping, well, there are around 5 campsites that were destroyed in the blazes yesterday, that run along this famous bit of coastline where you have europe's highest sand dune. some of those campsites which had already been evacuated, destroyed. we spoke to some of the people who had to flee the campsites, they were broken in the early hours of tuesday morning and giving very short this

is to get it so some holidays have been disrupted, people have lost caravans on things they had to leave behind b has a smack because they had to leave at such short notice but it is those residents who are having to be away from those homes. our fight are very much trying to predict towns and villages but it is the smoke, yesterday you could really smell it, you could taste it as well, the smoke seeping through these area, that means it is just not safe to say —— —— safe to stay in certain areas. not safe to say -- -- safe to stay in certain areas.— in certain areas. stay safe, jess, take care — in certain areas. stay safe, jess, take care of _ in certain areas. stay safe, jess, take care of yourselves - in certain areas. stay safe, jess, take care of yourselves of - in certain areas. stay safe, jess, take care of yourselves of there. jess parker reporting from south—west france and is wildfires, still struggling to be brought under control. so what does the next day hold in store for us? carroll is in gardens this morning. —— carol is in acute gardens. goodman, john filter we are absolutely right. we are standing in the shade so it feels quite nice. the temperature here is 20 celsius.

but quite widely across parts of greater london, surrey, kent and parts of wales, the temperature currently is between 26 and 28 celsius so we are starting from a high threshold and the temperature is only going to go up. so the met office still has in force the red warning of extreme heat, which was running yesterday and also today. that's across a large chunk of england. there is an amber warning still in force across england, wales, southern parts of eastern scotland. the red warnings are fairly rare, even in winter, the met office very rarely issue them. for example, for wind or snow. so this is the first one ever issued for extreme heat. today we have two weather fronts come into the west so that will change the weather in the west a bit. a bit more cloud and also some showers which could be tandoori coming in across south west england into wales, moving

north—east through the day. —— which could be thundery. and across the west of scotland bring in some rentals up to these, sunny with one or two showers are possible but it will be hot. in the west, cooler thanit will be hot. in the west, cooler than it was yesterday, but still about 39 in london, but if we look at where the highest temperatures will be, the record breakers, we are looking at 40 or 41, possibly as much as 42 across parts of lincolnshire, yorkshire and the east midlands. this evening and overnight in the rain in scotland pushes north and clears, leaving cloud in its wake. the show is moving across england and wales, moving east, a bit of cloud in the south—west first thing. not as humid in the west but still we are looking at temperatures for some further east not falling lower than 20 celsius, which makes it another tropical night. into tomorrow, a lot of dry weather around, some showers developing across central and eastern parts of england and eastern scotland. a lot of them —— and a lot of us will miss

them but you could catch some thunder in those. temperatures down to touch still up to 29 celsius. on thursday, temperatures down a little bit more, highs of 27 celsius for example. on thursday there will be sunny spells, one or two showers and at times large areas of cloud. as we head towards the weekend, just a heads up for you, in england and wales especially it looks like temperatures will rise once again, not to the extent we are looking at at the moment, but still above average, possibly into the 305, the low 305 anyway. so still a lot of heat to come our low 305 anyway. so still a lot of heat to come our way. there really is. he said yesterday you were still getting your head around having to give this kind of numbers and the perquis and here we are again. numbers and the perquis and here we are aaain. , numbers and the perquis and here we are aain. , , :, numbers and the perquis and here we are aaain. , , :, ., are again. yes, never before have i ever mentioned — are again. yes, never before have i ever mentioned 40 _ are again. yes, never before have i ever mentioned 40 degrees - are again. yes, never before have i ever mentioned 40 degrees plus i are again. yes, never before have i ever mentioned 40 degrees plus ini are again. yes, never before have i i ever mentioned 40 degrees plus in a uk forecast, ever. ever mentioned 40 degrees plus in a ukforecast, ever. itjust ever mentioned 40 degrees plus in a uk forecast, ever. itjust doesn't seem real somehow. but

in the 1500 metres. it was in this event at the olympics last year she took silver, but had missed out on a medal in the past three world championships. that changed this year though, despite what she says has been a dificult start to the year — arriving in oregon short on confidence, she stuck with the eventual winner faith kipyegon by running a season's best, to earn gb�*s first medal of the championships. it has been a long road back for katarina johnson—thompson, who finished eighth in the heptathlon. her hopes of succesfully defending the gold medal she won in doha three years ago always looked tough. she's only been able to compete in one full competition since a calf injury ended her olympic hopes in tokyo last year. this was herfinishing the 800 metres, the last of her seven events. and dina asher—smith goes in the 200 metres as well. gb won five medals

last time out in doha. soak it up today — because we wont see it again. test captain ben stokes will play his last one—day match for england today in durham after announcing his retirement from the 50 over international format. it will be a fitting end at the ground where his parents made the two hour drive to get him to practise when he was starting out. but at 31, he said his body's letting him down, and that playing all three formats was unsustainable. he'll line up for england against south africa at chester—le—street for the last time in the first of three one—dayers. belgium are the final team into the quarterfinals of the women's euros after beating italy, the first of those knockout matches played tomorrow night, england preparing to take on spain, where they've been donning ice jackets after training just to cool down in the heat. the heat is a contribute in fact, it's not great, but it is something we can't control. but yes, it is

important we stick to ourjob and make sure we are not out in the sun for too long because it's not great for too long because it's not great for the skin and obviously you get tarred quite easily. it is just one of those things, we have to carry on how we normally do, and we are doing things like training earlierjust to make sure that we are not affected too much bite. yes, there little things that help. training earlier in the day, ice jackets, and let's not forget the former england are on, i think spain will be fearful of what they're to face! �* , :, will be fearful of what they're to face! �* , ., :, , :, face! but they are more accustomed to the heat- — face! but they are more accustomed to the heat. although _ face! but they are more accustomed to the heat. although tout _ face! but they are more accustomed to the heat. although tout -- i to the heat. although tout —— temperatures tomorrow reducing slightly. thank you. couples could soon get married on a cruise or on a day out at the beach, under proposals to tear up current restrictions on where weddings can be held. some of the most significant changes to wedding law in england and wales in more than 100 years will be set out today. our religion editor aleem maqbool has this report. chelsea and chris got engaged at

this very spot earlier this year. they decided they wanted their wedding day to reflect the beliefs as humanists, but as the law stands in england and wales, it wouldn't carry the same weight as a church of england wedding. fist carry the same weight as a church of england wedding-— england wedding. at the moment, a humanist ceremony _ england wedding. at the moment, a humanist ceremony wouldn't - england wedding. at the moment, a humanist ceremony wouldn't be i england wedding. at the moment, a humanist ceremony wouldn't be a i humanist ceremony wouldn't be a legal ceremony so while we can have a humanist ceremony with our friends and family, it would be a real wedding to us but we need to go away separately and have a civil marriage. separately and have a civil marriage-— separately and have a civil marriare. �* . , , :, :, marriage. but that is 'ust one of many things * marriage. but that is 'ust one of many things that i marriage. but that is 'ust one of many things that will- marriage. but that isjust one of many things that will change i marriage. but that isjust one of many things that will change in | marriage. but that isjust one of- many things that will change in what would be the most fundamental reform of wedding laws here in more than 150 years. of wedding laws here in more than 150 ears. �* , :, :, ., ., 150 years. because our lozza all, it has restrictions _ 150 years. because our lozza all, it has restrictions in _ 150 years. because our lozza all, it has restrictions in it _ 150 years. because our lozza all, it has restrictions in it on _ 150 years. because our lozza all, it has restrictions in it on where i has restrictions in it on where people — has restrictions in it on where people can get married and what they have to _ people can get married and what they have to have by way of a ceremony, but it _ have to have by way of a ceremony, but it simply— have to have by way of a ceremony, but it simply doesn't work for thousands of couples today. so rather — thousands of couples today. so rather than supporting people who want to— rather than supporting people who want to get married, the law puts barriers _ want to get married, the law puts barriers in — want to get married, the law puts barriers in the way commandos

good morning. you are watching bbc breakfast. another very hot one. welcome to breakfast with me, jon kay, here at the beautiful droitwich lido in worcestershire, and nina warhurst in the studio.

our headlines today... after yesterday's scorching temperatures, today could be even hotter, possibly as high as 42 degrees — a new record. the met office has issued a red extreme heat warning for a second day running, and there will be extra ambulances and emergency call handlers. it is causing massive disruption on the railway network across the uk, including cancellations and delays. no services running north on the east coast main line at king's cross. i will have the details for you. i am chester c which has closed for the first time in 90 years. good morning from kew gardens. yesterday was the hottest ever year so far.

wales and jersey broke their old—time temperature records. somewhere in eastern england today could hit 40 celsius plus. all the details throughout the rest of the morning's programme. 2.5 million public sector workers will today find out the pay rise they'll be getting this year. in sport, great britain claim their first medal of the world athletics championships overnight, as laura muir takes bronze in the 1500 metres in oregon. welcome. this place is like an oasis in the middle of worcestershire. people coming to the lido in droitwich, calling themselves down after the sweaty at night, a sleepless night. i hope you are doing all right this morning. it has

been quite an ordeal, lovely be here. i am as desperate as you are at home to die then there and enjoy the cooling water. i might have a go at little later. —— dive in there. for the second day running a red extreme heat warning in place which goes from the south into the midlands and up into the north of england as well. unusually far north for extreme summer weather event. a lot of people on standby. problems reported. yet more travel disruption today. lots of people having to get on with their lives, having to work and celebrate. jayne mccubbin has this report. in many areas yesterday was record—breakingly hot. how are you feeling? hot! congratulations. today is likely to be even hotter. are you coping under those layers? i'm melting. absolutely melting.

at salford university's graduation day, it topped 36 degrees. 36 degrees, and you are wearing a three—piece suit? this is a very special moment for me. so i wanted to make sure that i am dressed for the part. yeah. cheers! have you known a day like this? never, never. this is crazy. crazy. and it's going to get worse. on tuesday. i'm staying in. at luton airport, flights were suspended as the mercury hit 38, leaving the runway in need of emergency repairs. today, rail companies warn of significant disruption with services cancelled. but, for so many, like kwame in reading, work must go on. i've got more water inside my barrow. first one. second one. third one. the fourth one, i'm on it. so i bring more water.

even my boss told me to drink them to cool my temper. important, hey? yeah, it's very important. but it is a challenge to keep going. on this cambridge building site, workers either moved inside or simply went home. roofers were put off. some of the other trades have just said they're not coming in because it's too hot to work. so we are where we are. inside until we call it a day and go home. just looking after the workers. yeah, absolutely. if we're two or three days late, then we're two or three days late. in london, temperatures usually only seen overseas, while wales recorded its hottest day ever at 37 degrees in flintshire. the met office says temperatures today could peak at 42 — all of which has prompted this message from the prince of wales. and as i've tried to indicate for quite some time, the climate crisis really is a genuine emergency and tackling it is utterly essential. already, temperatures have made waterways tempting and deadly. yesterday, a 16—year—old boy died here in maidenhead.

last night, a 14—year—old boy was presumed dead, after going missing while swimming in the thames. leading to this warning from the health secretary. there's a particular message, particularly for teenagers, children — some of those who may be tempted to go for a swim. there's significant dangers of that, quite often when people go swimming in rivers, when we have very hot weather. these are temperatures to be endured, or enjoyed. just look at this! 7pm last night in hove. a new kind of rush hour for a new kind of climate. we had a different kind of rush hour here this morning at droitwich spa lido. they were queueing up at six o'clock this morning. lots of people saying they had not slept a wink or night, they wanted to get here and

relax. you heard them sign with relief as they got into the water. water uses natural salt and brine which is fed into the pull. the original one was here in the they have refurbished it, they are very proud of it and never more proud to haveit proud of it and never more proud to have it then they are this week. if you struggle to sleep last night, how hot was it? in some places it was as hot in the middle of the night as it gets in the middle of the day. we have this data in from heathrow, the midlands and guernsey, those three weather stations, it was 29 degrees last night when we were going to bed at 11 o'clock. gives is essential but we were dealing with. the nhs continuing to struggle. they were already kinds of delays and

hold—ups. we are hearing of operations being cancelled. it is too hot in some surgical environments to operate safely. the section of the nhs website dealing with heat exhaustion queries, demand for that has gone up by 525% in the last couple of days, maybe not surprisingly. i have a wasp here, another peril of thejob. surprisingly. i have a wasp here, another peril of the job. fire services are dealing with wildfires. nothing quite as dramatic as we have seenin nothing quite as dramatic as we have seen in europe. i drove past it yesterday afternoon, in birmingham, a hillside was ablaze. they brought it under control. fire services stretched to the limit as they respond. they are telling all of us to take the utmost care, not inking about barbecues where the grass is dry and that kind of thing because they cannot get to other important jobs in emergencies elsewhere. i mentioned europe and the situation in europe.

these pictures in from france, around bordeaux, in the south—west of france. our correspondent told us earlier about five campsites which had been completely destroyed by flames as the wildfires continued to cause havoc. just when the fire services in place like that managed to deal with one emergency, and another one crops up elsewhere. if you are trying to think how to deal with today, having got through yesterday, we need a bit of medical advice. i'm joined now by gp mohit mandiratta. thank you forjoining us. thank you for bringing your shirt, which i was delighted to see. we love it! makes mine look positively modest. people will want to know this morning, they are hot at home and thinking, what

that will help. a cool bowl of water with it in front of a fan to get cool air on with it in front of a fan to get coolair on you. with it in front of a fan to get cool air on you. thankfully the temperature will dip in a couple of days and it will be more comfortable. this is our body fighting to regulate a more normal temperature. haste fighting to regulate a more normal temperature-— fighting to regulate a more normal temperature. fighting to regulate a more normal temerature_ : ., , ., ,, ., , ,, temperature. we had grant shapps in and he was talking _ temperature. we had grant shapps in and he was talking about _ temperature. we had grant shapps in and he was talking about checking i temperature. we had grant shapps in and he was talking about checking on| and he was talking about checking on his elderly parents. that and he was talking about checking on his elderly parents.— his elderly parents. that is an important _ his elderly parents. that is an important message. - his elderly parents. that is an important message. we i his elderly parents. that is an important message. we are l his elderly parents. that is an l important message. we are all his elderly parents. that is an i important message. we are all at risk from the heat. you should not go out in the middle of the day. there will be people who are more vulnerable. i was speaking to someone with heart failure. those with chronic conditions will be more at risk. absolutely checking on people. barry pets are not built for this kind of weather. the key is hydration. ii this kind of weather. the key is hydration-— hydration. if we look after ourselves. _ hydration. if we look after ourselves, it _ hydration. if we look after ourselves, it potentially i hydration. if we look after i ourselves, it potentially takes pressure of the nhs. the nhs was

in the uk is 23.9 celsius. the temperature did not full lower than that. last night, some temperatures did not fall lower than 25 celsius. very much a provisional figure at the moment. the met office will issue this later when it is clarified. we might have broken that record as well. that is interesting. some breakfast years had been in touch by saying some of the temperatures they got in the garden, evenin temperatures they got in the garden, even in salford, saying the monitors had already breached a0 degrees yesterday afternoon, it is a record. —— saying that the monitors. how do you explain the difference in devices you are recording? you might have a thermometer _ devices you are recording? you might have a thermometer in _ devices you are recording? you might have a thermometer in your- devices you are recording? you might have a thermometer in your shed, - devices you are recording? you might have a thermometer in your shed, in | have a thermometer in your shed, in your conservatory, and anemometer, your conservatory, and anemometer, you can get them to measure

conservative mps will vote today on the last four candidates left in the running to be the next party leader and prime minister. tom tugendhat was eliminated last night, leaving rishi sunak, liz truss, penny mordaunt and kemi badenoch. the final two will be whittled down by wednesday before conservative party members decide the winner over the summer. pay in the uk is now dropping faster than at any time since records began, more than two decades ago. when you take into account the rising cost of living, regular pay was 2.8% lower in march to may than it was in the same period a year earlier. that's according to latest figures out this morning. it's also been confirmed the number ofjob vacancies continues to increase. those latest pay figures also show one of the largest ever gaps in wage growth between the public and private sector. they come ahead of an expected announcement this afternoon on salaries for staff — including nurses, doctors, teachers and the armed forces. let's speak with our political correspondent, nick eardley.

how much will the current rate of inflation impact decisions on public pay? it inflation impact decisions on public -a ? inflation impact decisions on public .a ? . inflation impact decisions on public -a ? . , . ., pay? it will affect about 2.5 million people _ pay? it will affect about 2.5 million people and - pay? it will affect about 2.5 million people and what - pay? it will affect about 2.5. million people and what they pay? it will affect about 2.5 - million people and what they are paid next year. the rate of inflation is definitely a big issue here. the expectation is that the government will broadly offer people a 5% pay rise. there will be some discrepancies. i think it will be higherfor people on discrepancies. i think it will be higher for people on lower salaries. it might be lower for people on higher salaries. that 5% is the kind of broad average that we are seeing with the pay deals today. that is considerably less than the rate of inflation at the moment. it is about 9% and could go up to ii% in the autumn, many people think. i will see a big row over this. unions are

already saying pay office will be a real terms pay cut and the many workers will find it harder, i should say, to make ends meet. the government is going to argue it needs to have sound public finances, it needs to be responsible with these pay office. we are seeing that ideological battle, really, between people saying the cost of living crisis is so bad and people are struggling to make ends meet. you had to put payout to match inflation and people like chancellor, nadhim zahawi, making this decision, saying if he put payout to match, you make inflation worse. —— if you put pay up inflation worse. —— if you put pay up to much. we will see the exact figures around four o'clock. the average will be around 5%, far less than the rate of inflation. fig]!!!

canals and reservoirs. it's after a ia—year—old boy went missing after entering the thames near hampton yesterday evening. a search was carried out by emergency services and members of the public, but he wasn't found. it comes after the death of a 16—year—old boy who got into difficulty in bray lake near maidenhead. rail passengers are being warned of more disruption as the heat continues to affect tubes and trains. at king's cross, there'll be no services north this afternoon because of high temperatures. the east coast main line will also close along with services to bedford. the trains that are running will be slower than usual. so it means extended journey times. we have reduced some of the services across the region. we are trying to run a service that people can rely on, but we are saying to people, please, only travel if it's absolutely essential, because there will be disruption. we are running with speed restrictions and there are a number of ongoing challenges out on the network. as the end of the school term approaches, a study suggests parents are paying more than double the amount for childcare during the holidays

as they do during term time. research by the children's charity coram found summer childcare prices have risen by 5% compared with last year. it also found availability is patchy, especially for children with additional needs. travel now, and lots of issues... there's no service on the hammersmith and city line due to heat related speed restrictions. there's no service on the metropolitan line between baker street and aldgate. there's no service on the overground from willesdenjunction to richmond and romford to upminster. severe delays on the district and central lines. and there are minor delays on thejubilee and elizabeth lines. time for the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's been an exceptionally warm night. temperatures for some not dropping below the mid 20s. the met office has the red weather warning in place for the extreme heat and it is going to be another exceptionally hot day today. there is a lot of sunshine around and temperatures widely once again

getting up into the high 30s. but the home counties, for essex, you mightjust get a0 celsius through today, so a touch warmer than yesterday. now, this cloud moving through is actually a cold front — could get a few showers on that, some rumbles of thunder through the evening, but the temperature is still going to be a warm one overnight. quite humid, though, quite sticky. the minimum not dropping much below i9 celsius. now, it is going to be a cooler day tomorrow. got a couple of fronts moving through and that's going to bring some welcome showers. but again, some rumbles of thunder potentially through the course of wednesday. but the temperature — by any standards, it is still going to be a hot day, but it's just going to be cooler than the last couple of days, with the maximum temperature of 27 or 28 celsius, some io, ii, i2 degrees cooler. now, as we head further through the week, it is getting cooler still for thursday and friday. warmer again for the weekend, just not as warm as the last couple of days. that's it for the moment. but there's lots more on our website and social media. now it's back tojon

and nina on breakfast. good morning. watching bbc breakfast this morning, live from droitwich spa lido. a calm and refreshing oasis in the middle of worcestershire, people have been coming here since first thing this morning after a sleepless night, just to try and cool down. it is already, you can feel it are getting much hotter by the minute. it's already much hotter than it was this time yesterday and that's the information we have been getting from carol with the weather. today is the day that this heatwave actually peaks, possibly into the a0s celsius in some places, this red extreme heat sound declared by the met office that goes all the way from the south—east of england appeared in the midlands, and then

into the north of england including yorkshire. all of those places potentially could see record—breaking temperatures today. it's causing all kinds of problems with transport and travel, some of the railway lines are saying just stay at home, don't even try it today if you can avoid it. ben is at king's cross in london for us. it has been a very different rush—hour? good morning. seeing where you are it is tempting tojump on a train andjoin you it is tempting tojump on a train and join you but on a day like this it is much easier said than done. as you say, massive rail disruption for anyone trying to get around. i am at king's cross, it is normally one of the busiest in the country. the departure boards tell the story of today. cancelled across the board, special notices up explaining to people that the extreme weather is causing mass cancellations, and it's notjust here at london king's cross

but right around the country. let me run you through the picture tell you how it's looking. i king's cross, some of the biggest disruption is happening because the east coast main line is completely closed, that means there are no trains running north and hear out of london to major destinations like edinburgh, york, leeds, hull, harrogate, newcastle and other places as well. it's notjust a problem for people trying to get out of london, because this station serves 220,000 passengers a day, but a third of the uk population is within 20 minutes of a station on that east coast main line so even if you're trying to get around on that line north of london, you will face problems today. it's notjust you will face problems today. it's not just the you will face problems today. it's notjust the east you will face problems today. it's not just the east coast you will face problems today. it's notjust the east coast main line, there is disruption across lots of operators. northern is warning passengers there is disruption in the north—east, the east midlands, yorkshire and the humber. they are advising people not to travel if

they can possibly avoid it. some roots in the north—west are fitted as well. it's worth saying, even if your train is running today there are speed restrictions in force across many parts of the network, trains go no faster than 90 mph, in some cases as slow as 20 mph. it's not just some cases as slow as 20 mph. it's notjust the railways, the airports have been disrupted too. have a look at these scene from luton airport yesterday, when it got so hot that the tarmac on the runway became damaged, they had to close it for safety reasons. it reopened after a 6pm but you can imagine there was a huge backlog notjust of flights waiting to depart but also flights that couldn't leave to come into luton. so a big disruption for people travelling by plane as well. let's return to the railways, we can speak to kevin groves from network rail. give us an update, we know a lot of services are not running today, how is it looking from the control side of things? is it looking from the control side of thins? ., . �*, ., of things? you are right, it's going to be a difficult _

amazing. i neverthought filing or anything like that. amazing. i never thought on the hottest day of the year, we are breaking also to wreckers, we would be with a rhino giving it a shower. and just watching it cool down. it's amazing. he is lapping it up. i think after we come off air and might ask you to cool us down! is not even nine o'clock and already it's extremely hot here. butjust look at benny, he wants to get close to you and he's loving that water. he probably would like a little bit more lettuce. i willjust leave you with this beautiful shot. that's great, we have enjoyed that! we all need a bit of housing down this morning, if we could get into a local pool or allowed. lovely stuff. we are at droitwich spa lido in worcestershire, where they have been really busy this morning, they have started queueing up for the next

slot, which starts at nine o'clock, people here arriving already in their dozens. good morning, everybody! their we go, they have got their swimmers and their towels, they are trying to reserve the sun loungers, where they are going to try and stay in the shade, and they get a warning when they come here about making sure they have suntan lotion on and there is refreshments on site as well come all the advice to be believed. they have a short slot, just an hour so so they're not on the bright sunshine for too long. but how bright is that something going to get today and where is he to be at its strongest? let's get the weather forecast now. carol's in kew gardens. good morning. we have moved into the shade now because it is hot here at kew gardens already in the sunshine, temperatures just over 27 celsius. down in wales currently the temperature is just over 30

down in wales currently the temperature isjust over 30 celsius, so there's temperatures are now rocketing. we have just so there's temperatures are now rocketing. we havejust had so there's temperatures are now rocketing. we have just had a tropical night where temperatures didn't fall below 20 celsius in some parts. so we have quite a high threshold. now the sun is out the temperature is shooting up. so the met office still have enforced the red warning for extreme heat. these warnings are very rare and for this particular one for extreme heat, it is the first one that the met office has ever issued. so do take note of it. what's happening today as we do have two weather fronts coming from the west, one across western scotland, one coming in from the south—west to a bit of a change in the weather in the west today. across western scotland, some cloud and rain. in the south—west of england, some showers which could prove to be thundery as they move north and east across the rest of south—east england and wales. in central and eastern areas we start off with something, we will hang onto it. there's an chance of a shower in the east, but temperatures

climbing up to around 39 celsius in london. but note the difference in the west, it will not be as hot as it was yesterday. looking at 23 in northern ireland. the real heat today we expect to be across parts of yorkshire, lincolnshire and the east midlands and it is here we can see highs of 40, iii, possibly even 42. we see highs of 40, iii, possibly even a2. we have never had a temperature in the 405 in 42. we have never had a temperature in the 405 in the uk before, this is unprecedented heat. the evening and overnight, the rain in scotland pushes north and clears, leaving residual cloud. the showers continue to push east across england and wales and in the west, it will not be as muggy but we are still looking at another tropical night in some parts of the south—east. tomorrow, we have some showers developing in central and southern eastern england through the day, they could be thundery, then the east, one or two left across eastern scotland, and a lot of dry weather and a fair bit of sunshine. temperatures are slipping a bit but still 29 celsius the top

temperature. thursday, still a lot of dry weather and a lot of sunshine, but there will be areas of cloud at times and that cloud will be thick enough for the shower. top temperature on thursday, again, slipping a bit more back to 27 celsius at its highest. also worth mentioning that although the temperatures are coming down, as we head into the weekend, for england and for wales, it looks like we're going to go back up again. we are not talking 40 degrees, still about 30 but that's still above average for this time of year, the average in edinburghfor example for this time of year, the average in edinburgh for example is 19 and the average in london is 24. so looking at temperatures getting up to the high 305 and 405 is way looking at temperatures getting up to the high 305 and 405 is way above what we would expect. and further north as well, that fascinates me as well, going up in yorkshire and lancashire. while you were talking to us, we got some breaking news from the met office, confirming that overnight it was the warmest night ever recorded in the

uk, with an average of 25 celsius, which we have never seen before, so the warmest night already, possibly today the warmest day. how did you sleep last night? i a shocker myself. sleep last night? i a shocker m self. ~ ~' sleep last night? i a shocker m self. ~ ,, ., ., myself. me too, thinking got about three hours- _ myself. me too, thinking got about three hours. look— myself. me too, thinking got about three hours. look at _ myself. me too, thinking got about three hours. look at my _ myself. me too, thinking got about three hours. look at my bags - myself. me too, thinking got about three hours. look at my bags this i three hours. look at my bags this morning! it wasjust three hours. look at my bags this morning! it was just so oppressive, wasn't it? we are not to it. normally you are out partying! so you are used to it. only with yourself! yeah, right! tell you what, ifeel that yourself! yeah, right! tell you what, i feel that we should have a beach party here. here at droitwich spa lido, the eight o'clock session hasjust come to spa lido, the eight o'clock session has just come to a finish, the people we saw queueing up are now coming through the doors and they are excitedly taking off all their clothes, getting in their swimming costumes and they are about to jump on the water to cool down. we will talk to a few of them in a few minutes, but first let's go back to nina inside, with air conditioning

in salford! ido i do feel for you, people hopping in the pool. go and get some shade. looking at the athletics, bit cooler over the pond?— looking at the athletics, bit cooler over the pond? some athletes have been compelling — over the pond? some athletes have been compelling about _ over the pond? some athletes have been compelling about a _ over the pond? some athletes have been compelling about a lack- over the pond? some athletes have been compelling about a lack of- over the pond? some athletes have been compelling about a lack of air| been compelling about a lack of air conditioning, which is something we can relate to. with five days of competition remaining, great britain have their first medal of the world athletics championships in eugene. and it came courtesy of laura muir who took bronze in the 1500 metres. she now has two global outdoor medals to her name, having taken silver in this event at the olympics last year. it was an incredily fast race, and having missed out on a medal at the past three world championships, that all changed last night. as she stuck with the eventual winner faith kipyegon by running a season's best, to earn gb�*s first medal of the championships. it has been a long road back

to fitness for katarina johnson—thompson who finished eigth in the heptathlon. her hopes of succesfully defending the gold medal she won in doha three years ago always looked tough, she's only been able to comepete in one full competition since a calf injury ended her olympic hopes in tokyo last year. this was her finishing the 800 metres, the last of her seven events. this was her finishing the 800 metres, the last of her seven events. chances of more medals now rest in the 800 metres. dina asher—smith to go in the 200 metres so plenty still to come from the gb squad. and england have been doing their best to keep cool — belgium are the final team into the quarterfinals of the women's euros after beating italy. the first of those knockout matches played tomorrow night — england preparing to take on spain, where they've been donning ice jackets after training just to cool down in the heat. the heat is a contributing factor, it's not great, but it is something we can't control. but yes, it is important we stick to ourjob and make sure we are not out in the sun for too long, because it's not great for the skin and obviously you get tired quite easily. it is just one of those things, we have to carry on how we normally

do, and we are doing things like training earlierjust to make sure that we are not affected too much by it. an ice vest, i could do with one of those! where do you go for one of those? i those! where do you go for one of those? , ., ,, ., . ., those? i will let you know electron! -- later on- — with hits like don't call me up, mad love and an epic collaboration with clean bandit, tick tock, mabel is one of the biggest stars in the uk right now. she's back with a new album — let's take a look. i, 2, 3. # good luck # going round the world, chasing all the girls # thinking you'll find better, baby # good luck # looking for that touch, can't replace real love # thinking you'll find better, baby...# # pin—up girl on that poster # say so like i'm doja # icy # wifey # body shape coca—cola # i got a new man in my business # and he all about his business
