programme. it's wednesday 20th july. our main story. dozens of wildfires broke out across england yesterday, after temperatures hit an all time high in the uk of more than a0 degrees celsius. severalfire brigades declared major incidents, with one blaze destroying nearly 10 homes in east london, as david lumb reports. when it's as hot as this, even the smallest spark can trigger a huge blaze. wennington, in the east of london. flames soon ripping through homes. it was like a scene from the blitz, war of the worlds, windows popping out everywhere, explosions. it was pretty frightening, all—round, really but i'm pleased there was no fatalities. i was told i was needed to leave so i left and went to my local church because we have a community church, but after spending a few minutes in the church we realised that the church ground was also on fire, so we were told

to evacuate the church. i was sunbathing in my garden and then a massive black- cloud has come across. i looked up and that side. of wennington was on fire and within an hour it had spread all of the way to our house, - so we've got a field outside our house and that is on fire. - all of our cars have gone. luckily i got the animals - and the kid out and i'm waiting for an update on the house. yesterday the uk recorded temperatures over a0 celsius for the first time. by the afternoon, london fire brigade had received more than 1600 calls for assistance. the mayor of london said the service was under immense pressure. one london fire brigade source told the bbc demand was so high that at one point there wasn't a single fire appliance available to respond to calls because there were already committed. it wasn't just the capital struggling.

1a fire and rescue services declared major incidents including north and south yorkshire. it's really, really challenging. and the crews have worked really hard along with our neighbouring brigade who gave us assistance. we had a pump from derbyshire helping out this afternoon, but the crews have worked really hard to bring the incident to a conclusion. in dartford, a fire burned fiercely next to the a2. and this was the scene in milton keynes where a fire damaged a nursery and several homes. there are concerns that with the grass dry and temperature is high, conditions forfires remain. people have been urged not to have barbecues or bonfires due to the unprecedented challenges facing crews.

our reporter tim muffett is in wennington this morning, where over ten houses have been gutted by fires. absolutely devastating for the people who live in those homes. yes. people who live in those homes. yes, absolutely and _ people who live in those homes. yes, absolutely and we _ people who live in those homes. yes, absolutely and we are _ people who live in those homes. ye: absolutely and we are half a people who live in those homes. 123 absolutely and we are half a mile away from the village and much of the area is cordoned off and the emergency services... the area is cordoned off and the emergency services. . ._ the area is cordoned off and the emergency services... some problems there with tim's _ emergency services... some problems there with tim's microphone _ emergency services... some problems there with tim's microphone and - emergency services... some problems there with tim's microphone and we i there with tim's microphone and we will try to come back to tim wennington later. we will stay with the after—effects of the extreme heat. the highest temperature was recorded in lincolnshire — with the thermometer hitting 40.3 degrees celsius. jayne mccubbin has been to scunthorpe, to hear how people there coped with the heat. it is match day in this corner of lincolnshire. come on, scunny. how are you feeling? hot, sweaty.

really, really, really hot. disgustingly hot. costa del scunthorpe. i got a taxi today and the taxi drivertold me, in india, it is cooler in india than it is in scunthorpe. you arejoking. no, seriously. inside, they are giving away water. that's a good idea. because today is notjust hot, it's the hottest day in the history of the uk. you know how hot it is here because... we have a weather station just over the back there along with the smoke from the fire. and it is quite hot. and it's currently 39 degrees at blandford park. smoke drifts over from a farmers field just outside the stadium which has been on fire, left tinder dry in the record—breaking weather conditions. we've got plenty of water around the stadium for the fans and the stewards. i mean, for people watching at home... ...just describe the intensity of the heat. wow, it's what i would say.

you are about to play in this heat. it is so hot. roasting, mate. it is roasting, mate. it is so hot. there is a fire over there. it's all going off. honestly. ladies and gentlemen, please welcome your teams, rochdale and scu nthorpe united. just 50 miles from here is coningsby, the first place in the uk to record that a0 degrees record yesterday at 2pm. here in scunthorpe, they are prepared for those who might not be able to cope. if there is a major incident happening, i am one of those persons that's going to deal with it. when is it appropriate to call a football match off? what temperature? i'd say about five hours ago. it is hot. as long as they are taking lots of water on board, and taking it really steady, i think we'll be all right because we are on the back end of the day. you are on the ball. too right. global warming is behind these events, events which are increasing in frequency and intensity. we are kind of used

to playing in adverse weather conditions. normally here, it is the snow and the frost. the thermometer has hit a0 degrees here in scunthorpe today. this place was one of 3a locations across the uk to surpass the previous record set injuly 2019, but it is all going to come to an abrupt end. thankfully. but be warned. one weather warning is being replaced with another. a yellow thunderstorm warning for parts of lincolnshire and much of the south—west with the risk of flooding, road closures, power cuts and rail and bus cancellations. the weather drama isn't over yet. the record breaking heat has caused havoc on the rail network. after damage to overhead wires and tracks, there were mass cancellations across england yesterday. temperatures are dropping today, but operators are warning of continued disruption

to some services. let's speak now to the independent�*s travel correspondent simon calder. simon, how's it looking this morning? we were kings cross yesterday morning and it was a nightmare. how are things looking rush hour? i am sor to are things looking rush hour? i am sorry to say. _ are things looking rush hour? i am sorry to say, know _ are things looking rush hour? i am sorry to say, know better. overnight network _ sorry to say, know better. overnight network rail and el ner, the main operator— network rail and el ner, the main operator from london king's cross to yorkshire _ operator from london king's cross to yorkshire and to tyneside and scotland — yorkshire and to tyneside and scotland said there will be no services — scotland said there will be no services at all this morning and white _ services at all this morning and while it— services at all this morning and while it is— services at all this morning and while it is hoped that they may be restored _ while it is hoped that they may be restored at some stage this afternoon, there is no certainty on that and _ afternoon, there is no certainty on that and they are saying do not travel — that and they are saying do not travel we _ that and they are saying do not travel. i've been talking to some of the travellers here and many of them hooked _ the travellers here and many of them hooked to _ the travellers here and many of them booked to travel yesterday and were .iven booked to travel yesterday and were given bookings instead for this morning — given bookings instead for this morning but due to a lying side fire south _ morning but due to a lying side fire south of— morning but due to a lying side fire south of peterborough about 75 miles from here, _

exclusively and we are also looking at sunshine coming through as well. temperatures today are a good ten or 15 degrees lower than they were yesterday. it is still hot in the far south—eastern corner, 26 up to 29 degrees and towards the west we have something that bit fresher, i6 have something that bit fresher, 16 to 18 degrees. as we head through the course of the evening and overnight we will have cloud in places, still producing showers and one or two of those could prove to be thundery as well. clear skies coming in across the west and tomorrow we start the day a bit fresher in the west with temperatures between ten and i2, fresher in the west with temperatures between ten and 12, so much more comfortable for sleeping compared to some of the tropical nights where temperatures have not fallen below 20 degrees but still looking at 16 or 17 in the far south—east. into thursday there will be areas of cloud at time thick enough for the odd splash of rain towards the west and parts of the south and also across scotland and northern ireland we will see some

sunshine and on thursday temperatures between 13 and up to 25. don't be lulled into a false sense of security because as we head to the weekend temperatures are going to rise again, especially on sunday when we could hit 29 or 30 somewhere in england. here we go again. thank you very much. let's stay with high numbers. we'll get the latest cost of living figures just after seven this morning — inflation is currently at a a0—year—high and it's widely expected to rise even more. we'll bring you those figures a little later — it is normally bang on seven o'clock. you are there calculating away and working it all out. but hannah will do thatjob for us because she is in derby for us, hearing about the pressure on peoples budgets, and of course pay this morning. peoples budgets, and of course pay this morning-— peoples budgets, and of course pay this morninu. , ., ., this morning. yes, good morning from the brewery tap _ this morning. yes, good morning from the brewery tap in _ this morning. yes, good morning from

hiya. they receive parcels when they need, grateful for this and the government rebate they have already had on their energy bills. at the moment, it's not too bad because i can still make something out of nothing, but eventually, if it gets any worse, then we will probably start to be in trouble. i think it depends on how severe the winter is going to be and how much inflation is going to be, and balancing the two out, we just don't know. we are in unknown territory, aren't we, really? three, two, one... back at the centre, wayne says some of the customers he serves at the food hub are already desperate. we've had a lot of referrals where, on the form, it says absolutely no food in the house whatsoever. so that has been going on for days, they've had no food over a certain amount of days, so three or four days they had no food. they can't afford to pay their electric or gas and sometimes they cannot afford to heat the food we give them. so it is affecting what you give people.

definitely. a lot of people take stuff you can just use with a kettle or microwave. as the local vicar drops in to offer his support, he says rising inflation is an ever—growing concern. i think it is a catastrophe of monumental proportions, and over the next few weeks and particularly into the winter, i simply can't even begin to predict how people are going to live in any or form that's humane. it is a real palpable level of fear in peoples lives at the moment. as people here strive to make ends meet this summer, the cost of living is only expected to rise further, and organisations like this are already working flat out. lam iamjoined i am joined now by paul harris, the managing _ i am joined now by paul harris, the managing director of the derby brewing — managing director of the derby brewing company and thanks for coming — brewing company and thanks for coming in — brewing company and thanks for coming in so early. how is inflation hitting _ coming in so early. how is inflation hitting the —

there needs change. menopause is the next big question, and for the over 60s, the spotlight is on healthy ageing. one key part of the government strategy is to encourage women's health hubs to deal with everything from puberty, to the perimenopause and beyond. i am going to ut the perimenopause and beyond. i am going to put the plant — perimenopause and beyond. i am going to put the plant in _ perimenopause and beyond. i am going to put the plant in your _ perimenopause and beyond. i am going to put the plant in your arm _ perimenopause and beyond. i am going to put the plant in your arm now. - to put the plant in your arm now. there is nothing on that scale yet, but in liverpool they have started a hub focusing on contraception, and it is working. the service has seen a 30% increase in patients getting long acting contraception fitted. brute long acting contraception fitted. 2 really want to roll out more services beyond contraception. there is an awful lot of good gluing this together but now we need funding, support, education, so we can make this happen. support, education, so we can make this happen-— support, education, so we can make thishauen. ~ ., �*, ., , this happen. women's health has been affected by the — this happen. women's health has been affected by the pandemic _ this happen. women's health has been affected by the pandemic as _ this happen. women's health has been affected by the pandemic as well. - affected by the pandemic as well. since it started, gynaecology waiting lists in england have gone up waiting lists in england have gone up by 79%, and the average is 49%.

here in westminster, the government says the strategy will help women across the course of their lives, but there's also an acknowledgement that it won't be a quick fix. i don't think there is an overnight solution to changing culture and it does take time to change hearts and minds. it's the start of a process. we have some low hanging fruit we can make some quick wins on, but this isn'tjust going to be something that is an announcement today and not happen in the future. we are serious about this. so today and not happen in the future. we are serious about this.- we are serious about this. so what will the low — we are serious about this. so what will the low hanging _ we are serious about this. so what will the low hanging fruit _ we are serious about this. so what will the low hanging fruit to - we are serious about this. so what will the low hanging fruit to be? i will the low hanging fruit to be? there is a plan for better access to ivf, more training for medical students, and aim for the nhs website to be world class on women's health. one thing that there isn't is a lot of new money. there's also a question about keeping up the momentum on this. i’m a question about keeping up the momentum on this.— momentum on this. i'm really concerned _ momentum on this. i'm really concerned about _ momentum on this. i'm really concerned about the - momentum on this. i'm really concerned about the timing, i momentum on this. i'm really i concerned about the timing, and momentum on this. i'm really - concerned about the timing, and this coming just before the recess, it was a shame we didn't get a couple of months ago where you could see the time to push this through, and in some ways it might even create more frustration because we will

out. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning from bbc london, i'm alice salfield. a major incident remains in place following a series of fires across london, where temperatures exceeded 40 degrees celsius for the first time yesterday. a large grass fire in wennington on the london/essex border took 100 firefighters more than eight hours to bring under control. it destroyed several people's homes and a church. across the capital, more than 400 firefighters battled at least nine major blazes, which began burning on tuesday afternoon. london fire brigade said large grass fires are becoming more common. it is something that we are now properly planning for and preparing for because what was once regarded as once—in—a—generation incidents are now becoming much more regular. it's not just wildfires or extremes of heat, it's also when we're dealing

with wide—area flooding as well which we experienced last year. london fire brigade has well—practised and well—rehearsed plans in place to deal with these types of significant incidents that spread across the whole of the capital. well, london fire brigade is urging people not to have barbecues or bonfires due to the scale of the challenge currently facing crews. the body of a 14—year—old boy, who went missing in the thames has now been recovered. he entered the river at tagg's head island in hampton on monday afternoon, and the body was found yesterday. the teenager's death follows a number of others in open water in recent days, and authorities have warned of the dangers of trying to cool off in rivers and canals during the heatwave. yesterday's record temperatures had a major impact on the transport network, too. commuters are being advised to still check before travelling today. on the trains, there are currently no services at all at kings cross. but let's see what's

happening on the tubes. the circle line has minor delays and there are severe delays on the jubilee line. that takes us to the weather with kat christodoulou. hello. good morning to you. a much cooler day out there today, compared with the last couple of days. particularly yesterday when we had those record—breaking temperatures. having said that, it's still going to be feeling warm today with temperatures around the mid—20s. the met office have issued a yellow weather warning today — that's for thunderstorms. these thunderstorms very hit and miss during the day. there is a chance you may miss them altogether. any overnight showers clearing this morning. that will leave us with some sunshine at first. more cloud will bubble in through the afternoon. still some sunny spells, but a scattering of showers. you can see the green in these showers indicates the heaviest bursts. one or two could fall and the heavy side, and yes, we may hear a few rumbles of thunder.

a breezy day today and warm with temperatures around 26 degrees. this evening, any showers will clear away. it's going to leave a mostly dry picture for a time. further cloud will build and further showers will move through towards the end of the night. a little more comfortable for sleeping tonight, as temperatures dip to around 15, 16 degrees. as the cold front moves through, temperatures slip away even further. i'll be back in half an hour. now though, it's back tojon and nina. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. we are reporting on the after—effects of the two days of extreme heat. dozens of wildfires broke out yesterday across england, following the record breaking temperatures. our reporter tim muffett is in wennington this morning, where over 10 houses have been gutted by fires. tim, how are things this morning?

good morning. we are about half a mile away from the village itself. emergency services are here and a lot of the village has been cordoned off. the latest information we had was 40 hectares of farmland and buildings were affected by this. a number of houses have been destroyed, two detached houses, two semi detached houses, two outbuildings, garages, i2 stables and five cars. huge devastation for many residents of this village. the cause of the fire hasn't yet been specifically identified but a number of residents have spoken about a fire somehow breaking out spontaneously and somebody�*s garden. attempts were made to put it out with a hose and a watering can. the ground is so tender dry, it spread so quickly and nothing could be done. the warning is in place this

morning. temperatures have dropped considerably but the ground is still dry. no barbecues, no bonfires, no naked flames outdoors. we have seen what can happen. naked flames outdoors. we have seen what can happen-— just terrible. those pictures. the scale of it, the numbers affected, the challenges for the fire service yesterday in dealing with it. also, it started as a small fire in somebody�*s garden. because the ground is so dry, it spread so quickly. how stretch the fibre gates were. we have had in some places they did not have enough pumps, enough men and women to react to them. we will hear from the fire services in london, the london mayor and those responsible for the fire services across the country about how we can be better prepared to

deal with incidents like that in the future. now, it's time to get the sport from chetan. he's in brighton for us this morning, ahead of england's quarter final against spain tonight. good morning. morning. if you are wonderin: good morning. morning. if you are wondering what _ good morning. morning. if you are wondering what the _ good morning. morning. if you are wondering what the noises - good morning. morning. if you are wondering what the noises in i good morning. morning. if you are wondering what the noises in the i wondering what the noises in the background, we have industrial sized fans. i background, we have industrial sized fans. :, background, we have industrial sized fans. . , ~ ., fans. i am sorry. after two days of bein: in fans. i am sorry. after two days of being in extreme _ fans. i am sorry. after two days of being in extreme heat _ fans. i am sorry. after two days of being in extreme heat with - fans. i am sorry. after two days of being in extreme heat with no i fans. i am sorry. after two days of| being in extreme heat with no fan, fans. i am sorry. after two days of i being in extreme heat with no fan, i am pulling the plug on chat and —— on chetan. it is a big match will take place. it was a historic night

they cannot. they need to get humidity out of the stadium because mould and bacteria can grow on the pitch. all preparations for the quarterfinal tonight with england taking on spain. can they go all the way to the final at the end of this month? england have never won the trophy before. they may well be without their manager, who ended up missing the northern ireland game. it is touch and go, she is feeling good but waiting for the negative test. they have scored iii goals and have not let in a single one. spain will be the toughest test so far. matt graveling reports from brighton. the south coast — home to sea, sun, and scoring. commentator: beth mead. still going. it's beth mead. that is sensational.

lots of scoring. commentator: it's mead, kirby. eight in brighton, followed by five in southampton. commentator: 0h, kirby! the lionesses really do like to be beside the seaside. england have already broken records at this tournament, scoring iii goals in the group stages, and more than half of those were here in their second game against norway. well, now, the lionesses are back in brighton for a quarterfinal against group b runners—up spain. i'm actually here for the whole tournament. i came over here from germany on the 5th ofjuly. it's going to be a close game. oh, it's going to be a... it's going to be a close one, i reckon. it's going to be a bit iffy. this spanish side, although blighted by injuries, sit above england in the rankings. and so training today was a lesson in keeping your cool in a game unlikely to go all england's way. we were expecting a tough game against norway — really tough game, and didn't sort of turn out that way. so yeah, i think it's football, but i think that sometimes that sort of, you know, when you have

to raise your game, it brings out the best in you and hopefully that will be us tomorrow. but england are flying. beth mead's five goals keeps the arsenal striker on course for the golden boot, and keeper mary earps has yet to concede. but the squad may still be without coach sarina wiegman, who last week tested positive for covid. will england change how they set up? i don't think so. i think it's going to be really a battle for possession and then whoever wins that battle really will be able to impress their game plan. and we've seen england absolutely run away with games when they've been able to do that. so after days of rising heat from spain in england, can england now turn up the heat on spain? matt graveling, bbc news. fingers crossed we get plenty of goals here tonight. nearly 100 goals scored since serena took charge. one

of the great things about the stadium as you are right up close to the pitch, where we are expecting a sell—out. eight o'clock kick—off on bbc one. coverage starts at 7:30pm. hopefully the fans will be off by then. have let the fans then already! i like it. you can do that in the next hour. that is great. millions of public—sector workers in england and wales have been told how much of a pay rise they'll get this year. but unions are warning it's not enough. let's take you through the details. pay for most teachers in england will rise by 5% from september this year, but this goes up to nearly 9% for newly—qualified teachers, whose starting salaries increase to £30,000 in england. more than one million nhs staff, including nurses, will receive an increase of at least £1,400, while doctors and dentists will get

at least 4.5% extra — increasing to more than 9% for the lowest earners, such as porters and cleaners. all police officers in england and wales will receive a £1,900 salary uplift from september. prison staff will also get li%. in both cases, new recruits are set to benefit the most. well, let's talk to dr emma runswick, deputy council chair of the british medical association, and terry pullinger, deputy general secretary of the communication workers union. he represents royal mail staff, who have just voted overwhelmingly for strike action. good morning to you both. we will talk to you first. what did you make of the deal yesterday? it is important _ of the deal yesterday? it is important to _ of the deal yesterday? it is important to note - of the deal yesterday? it is important to note even - of the deal yesterday? it 3 important to note even though they are talking about a pay rise, in reality it is a brutal paper for

yorkshire. in northern ireland we are looking at dry conditions with one or two showers. breezy along the coastal to temperatures a good ten to 15 degrees lower than yesterday but still feeling hot. as we head on through the evening and overnight but we have the cloud coming out of scotland. still producing showers. breezy and the north and east with clearer skies in the west. again it will feel that bit fresher, especially so in western areas. fresher across parts of the east. into thursday, the low cloud hangs around by picking a full spot of rain. a lower risk of thunderstorms. the driest conditions in the west. the driest conditions in the west. the maximum temperatures tomorrow, up the maximum temperatures tomorrow, up to 25 degrees. hugely different compared to yesterday and of course monday. compared to yesterday and of course monda . ,

# my dad's walking on. when you know that kind of over 200 schoolchildren every year die by suicide, that's a whole primary school — dying. if that happened in one go, the government would do something about it. but because it happens in individuals, it doesn't reach the headlines, it doesn't make the headlines. and also, there's the stigma around suicide from when it was a crime. and we've still got that in society. # we will walk and talk like men. # three dads walking on.# it was last year after meeting each other due to the deaths of their daughters, that the three dads decided it was up to them to get the subject of suicide at the forefront of people's minds with their daughters' photos in their backpacks. they walked the 300 miles between their three homes in cumbria, greater manchester and norfolk to raise awareness, as well as almost £1 million for the suicide prevention charity, papyrus.

they talked candidly about the loss of emily, sophie and beth. you just feel as if you're in freefall, and you don't know where you're going. it's just devastating. absolutely devastating. and you just don't know how you'll ever recover from it. the world suddenly fell apart around us. there was suddenly nothing to hold onto. nothing felt real. butjust a sickness in the pit of your stomach. devastation's too small a word. you know. you literally are plungedj into a surreal world of... ..of complex grief. and as a result, along the way, they met so many other people with their own stories of lost loved ones to tell. because they know what we're going through. we're all in the same club. not one you want to be in at all. and to actually talk to other people, who are going through the same, has beenjust... it's just been amazing.

i've recently lost my daughter to suicide, and ijust need to understand why. i think the key thing i'd say is that, you know, - not to be on your own, really, just to talk to other people. newsreader: three fathers. they not only caught the attention of the nation, but hollywood stars, too. daniel craig donated £10,000, as did nicole kidman, after seeing the dads' story here on bbc breakfast. so the sanctuary is in here. if you're having a stressful day, oryoujust... you want to get away from everyone else and everything else that's going on, you can come in here. here at the school that tim's daughter went to, this room has been created in her memory with his help. suicide has also been discussed in lessons — something the three dads now want to see made compulsory in all schools. do you think the three dads can change the way schools look at this?

if it was statutory that all schools would be required to do so. we talk a lot about things like knife crime and radicalisation, and i'm not taking away or belittling that at all. but if we think about young people being more likely to be harmed by suicide than perhaps those other topics, and i think that all schools should be more prepared, or should be prepared to talk about suicide. and the students' response has been positive. it's been... it's sort of, like, being a taboo subject of where you may feel as though you can't talk about it. so i think you've just got to break down that barrier. if you start the education at a young age, if you're ever in that position of where you think, ok, this is getting quite serious, with that education, you may think, "ok, i need to take a step back. i need to go and speak to someone." would you be able to ask a friend if, you know, are you considering taking that course of action? ifeel as though i could. do you think you and your friends are comfortable talking about it?

i feel like if someone brought it up within the group, then we would be able to address it seriously and try to help them if it reached that point. how important is it, do you think, that young people are taught about suicide prevention? i think it's very important because it equips you - for later on in life. if you are in that situation, you have, like... _ it gives you a way out, in a sense. it gives you somewhere to turn. somewhere where to turn. # there are miles and miles to go. # my dad's walking on.# we talk lots about mental health, but we don't bridge the gap to suicide. and if you look at the current pshe curriculum, i don't think suicide is mentioned once in there. we need to mention it to the children and the young so the children and the young people know where to go because talking about it will save lives. how do you think you might have felt if you had heard that emily had been taught about suicide before her death? if any parent who's been bereaved by suicide had had the chance to expose their child, their young

person to it, and have them talk in a constructive manner about it and a safe manner, then i'm sure they would prefer that and maybe he a little bit offended than to be living with the death of their son or daughter. # three dads walking on.# those dads are going to be with us at half past eight to tell us about the new awareness campaign they are behind. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. a very good morning from bbc london, i'm alice salfield. a major incident remains in place following a series of fires across london, where temperatures exceeded 40 degrees celsius for the first time yesterday. a large grass fire in wennington on the london/essex border took 100 firefighters more than eight hours to bring under control. it destroyed several people's homes and a church.

across the capital more than 400 firefighters battled at least nine major blazes which began burning on tuesday afternoon. london fire brigade said large grass fires are becoming more common. it is something that we are now properly planning for and preparing for because what was once regarded as once—in—a—generation incidents are now becoming much more regular. it's not just wildfires or extremes of heat, it's also when we're dealing with wide—area flooding as well which we experienced last year. london fire brigade has well—practised and well—rehearsed plans in place to deal with these types of significant incidents that spread across the whole of the capital. well, london fire brigade is urging people not to have barbecues or bonfires in public parks or at home, due to the scale of the challenge currently facing crews. the body of a 14—year—old boy who went missing in the thames in west london has now been recovered. he entered the river at tagg's head island in hampton on monday afternoon — and the body was found yesterday. the teenager's death follows a number of others in open

water in recent days — and authorities have warned of the dangers of trying to cool off in rivers and canals during the heatwave. yesterday's record temperatures had a major impact on the transport network too. commuters are being advised to still check before travelling today. on the trains there are currently no services at all at kings cross. but let's see what's happening on the tubes. the circle line has minor delays and there are severe delays on the jubilee line. that takes us to the weather. hello. good morning to you. a much cooler day out there today, compared with the last couple of days. particularly yesterday when we had those record—breaking temperatures. having said that, it's still going to be feeling warm today with temperatures around the mid—20s. the met office have issued a yellow weather warning today — that's for thunderstorms. these thunderstorms very hit and miss during the day. there is a chance you may

miss them altogether. any overnight showers clearing this morning. that will leave us with some sunshine at first. more cloud will bubble in through the afternoon. still some sunny spells, but a scattering of showers. you can see the green in these showers indicates the heaviest bursts. one or two could fall on the heavy side, and yes, we may hear a few rumbles of thunder. a breezy day today and warm with temperatures around 26 degrees. this evening, any showers will clear away. it's going to leave a mostly dry picture for a time. further cloud will build and further showers will move through towards the end of the night. a little more comfortable for sleeping tonight, as temperatures dip to around 15, 16 degrees. as the cold front moves through, temperatures slip away even further. that's all for now. i'll be back in half an hour. now though it's back tojon and nina.

it was pretty frightening, all—round, really, but i'm pleased there was no fatalities. i was told i was needed to leave so i left and went to my local church because we have a community church, but after spending a few minutes in the church we realised that the church ground was also on fire, so we were told to evacuate the church. i was sunbathing in my garden and then a massive black- cloud has come across. i looked up and that side. of wennington was on fire and within an hour it had spread all of the way to our house, i so we've got a field outside our house and that is on fire. i all of our cars have gone. luckily i got the animals - and the kid out and i'm waiting for an update on the house. yesterday the uk recorded temperatures over 40 celsius for the first time. by the afternoon, london fire brigade had received more than 1600 calls for assistance.

the mayor of london said the service was under immense pressure. one london fire brigade source told the bbc demand was so high that at one point there wasn't a single fire appliance available to respond available to respond to calls because they were already committed. it wasn't just the capital struggling. 14 fire and rescue services declared major incidents including north and south yorkshire. it's really, really challenging. and the crews have worked really hard along with our neighbouring brigade who gave us assistance. we had a pump from derbyshire helping out this afternoon, but the crews have worked really hard to bring the incident to a conclusion. in dartford, a fire burned fiercely next to the a2. and this was the scene in milton keynes where a fire damaged a nursery and several homes. there are concerns that with the grass dry and temperatures high, conditions forfires remain.

people have been urged not to have barbecues or bonfires due to the unprecedented challenges facing crews. our reporter tim muffett is in wennington this morning, where over 10 houses have been gutted by fires. that is as close as you can get because the cord and is so large. yes, that is right. you can see the road _ yes, that is right. you can see the road is _ yes, that is right. you can see the road is blocked behind me and there is a helicopter above the village and we — is a helicopter above the village and we are half a mile or so away but a _ and we are half a mile or so away but a huge — and we are half a mile or so away but a huge amount of devastation on the latest _ but a huge amount of devastation on the latest update we have had from the latest update we have had from the london fire brigade this morning is that— the london fire brigade this morning is that around 40 hectares of grassland and farmland was affected yesterday. two detached houses were destroyed. _ yesterday. two detached houses were destroyed, two semidetached houses destroyed _ destroyed, two semidetached houses destroyed and two rows of terraced houses _ destroyed and two rows of terraced houses destroyed and two outbuildings, six single garages, 12

rate of increase. scientists say heatwaves like this are becoming more likely and more extreme because of human—induced climate change. let's speak now to professor chris budd, a climate modeller at the university of bath. good morning. good morning. carol was tellini good morning. good morning. carol was telling us _ good morning. good morning. carol was telling us doing _ good morning. good morning. carol was telling us doing the _ good morning. good morning. carol was telling us doing the weather- was telling us doing the weather yesterday morning that even though these temperatures had been predicted for some time, just seeing them, putting them on the weather map was still a shock. what did it feel like for you as a climate modeller to see those forecasts on the screen in reality yesterday? well, it felt very hot and of course we had _ well, it felt very hot and of course we had been predicting something like this— we had been predicting something like this happening for many years so in _ like this happening for many years so in one — like this happening for many years so in one sense it was quite satisfying to see our predictions but in _ satisfying to see our predictions but in the — satisfying to see our predictions but in the other way it was saying, oh, but in the other way it was saying, oh. gosh. — but in the other way it was saying, oh, gosh, this really is happening and we _ oh, gosh, this really is happening and we are — oh, gosh, this really is happening and we are getting warm and we need to do something about it. is

preindustrial levels, and to give you a comparison, we are seeing a temperature rise ofjust over1 degrees — temperature rise ofjust over1 degrees above preindustrial levels, so it's— degrees above preindustrial levels, so it's a _ degrees above preindustrial levels, so it's a huge increase on the impact — so it's a huge increase on the impact of— so it's a huge increase on the impact of that will be severe. we have _ impact of that will be severe. we have already seen impacts in infrastructure and also a lot of fires _ infrastructure and also a lot of fires developing, and that is only going _ fires developing, and that is only going to — fires developing, and that is only going to get worse. we will see more extreme _ going to get worse. we will see more extreme events, more fires, more droughts _ extreme events, more fires, more droughts and, strangely enough, more floodihg~ _ droughts and, strangely enough, more flooding. we might even see some of that today— flooding. we might even see some of that today because of the thunderstorms that, after a heatwave. so all of these will impact — heatwave. so all of these will impact on us quite severely. we are seeinu impact on us quite severely. we are seeing pictures _ impact on us quite severely. we are seeing pictures from _ impact on us quite severely. we are seeing pictures from wennington i impact on us quite severely. we are seeing pictures from wennington in | seeing pictures from wennington in east london of the house fires overnight and we think at least ten properties have been ruined in that and are also we reporting that there is a knock—on on the trains even though the temperatures have dropped, services across the country are still up the spout for commuters today. i guess the problem for all

of us is working out what we can do on an individual level. it feels like such a tiny thing we can do that it feels like it doesn't make a difference to the planet as a whole. what do you say if we are feeling kind of hopeless and helpless now? one thing i do find encouraging is i've one thing i do find encouraging is l've lreeh— one thing i do find encouraging is i've been working on renewable energy— i've been working on renewable energy for a long time and when i started _ energy for a long time and when i started working on it in the late 1980s _ started working on it in the late 1980s it— started working on it in the late 1980s it was sort of negligible as part of— 1980s it was sort of negligible as part of our power supply, and now we have got _ part of our power supply, and now we have got to _ part of our power supply, and now we have got to a — part of our power supply, and now we have got to a point where renewables in the _ have got to a point where renewables in the uk _ have got to a point where renewables in the uk are almost half our power supply— in the uk are almost half our power supply and — in the uk are almost half our power supply and we could be going up to 80% before long. so i find that extremely encouraging, that we are moving _ extremely encouraging, that we are moving towards net zero in our energy— moving towards net zero in our energy and hopefully net zero in other— energy and hopefully net zero in other things. we can individually make _ other things. we can individually make a — other things. we can individually make a difference by making more use of renewable energy, making more use of renewable energy, making more use of public— of renewable energy, making more use of public transport, and also flying less, _ of public transport, and also flying less. so— of public transport, and also flying

a major incident remains in place following a series of fires across london yesterday, after temperatures exceeded 40 degrees celsius for the first time. a large grass fire in wennington in east london took a hundred firefighters more than eight hours to bring under control. it destroyed several people's homes and a church. across the capital more than 400 firefighters battled at least nine major blazes including in upminster, uxbridge, croydon, dagenham and wembley. london fire brigade said large grass fires are becoming more common. what was once regarded as once—in—a—generation incidents are now becoming much more regular. it's not just wildfires or extremes of heat, it's also when we're dealing with wide—area flooding as well which we experienced last year. london fire brigade has well—practised and well—rehearsed plans in place to deal with these types of significant incidents. well, london fire brigade is urging people not to have barbecues or bonfires in public

parks or at home at the moment, due to the scale of the challenge currently facing crews. the body of a 14—year—old boy, who went missing in the thames in west london has now been recovered. he entered the river at tagg's head island in hampton on monday afternoon, and the body was found yesterday. the teenager's death follows a number of others in open water in recent days, and authorities have warned of the dangers of trying to cool off in rivers and canals during the heatwave. yesterday's record temperatures had a major impact on the transport network, too. commuters are being advised to still check before travelling today. on the trains there are currently no services at all at kings cross. but let's see what's happening on the tubes. there are minor delays for the central, circle, district and elizabeth lines. and a part suspension on thejubilee. that takes us to the weather with kat christadoulou.

hello. good morning to you. a much cooler day out there today, compared with the last couple of days. particularly yesterday when we had those record—breaking temperatures. having said that, it's still going to be feeling warm today with temperatures around the mid—20s. the met office have issued a yellow weather warning today — that's for thunderstorms. these thunderstorms very hit and miss during the day. there is a chance you may miss them altogether. any overnight showers clearing this morning. that will leave us with some sunshine at first. more cloud will bubble in through the afternoon. still some sunny spells, but a scattering of showers. you can see the green in these showers indicates the heaviest bursts. one or two could fall on the heavy side, and yes, we may hear a few rumbles of thunder. a breezy day today and warm with temperatures around 26 degrees. this evening, any showers will clear away. it's going to leave a mostly dry picture for a time. further cloud will build and further showers will move through towards the end of the night. a little more comfortable for sleeping tonight, as temperatures dip to around 15, 16 degrees. as the cold front moves through,

temperatures slip away even further. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. millions of children are gearing up for the school holidays but, with the cost of living continuing to rise, many parents are worried about how they'll cope. as well as days out or trips abroad becoming unaffordable, kids clubs which often provide free meals will also be suspended. our midlands correspondent navteonhal has more. breakfast club at this primary school in derby and the smile suggest the meal is a hit, sometimes literally. oh, sorry. any child can come to the school early for breakfast, for free. a scheme that's been running

here for five years now. what is your favourite thing to have at breakfast? bagels. you can get anything at the back there, like bagel, cereals. i like that you canjust sit with your friends, i get some breakfast, chat about things. and what about the food? what do you like to eat from breakfast club? i like the bagels. everybody loves the bagels. oh, yeah. ijust like that. they're really buttery and stuff. but there are worries. at the end of the week, breakfast club and the school will be shut and parents will have to grapple with how to make ends meet over the summer holidays with the cost of living crisis eating into their household budgets. yes, i am anxious and very worried about affording everything. what sort of things will you miss out on in order to help fund stuff for your children? maybe having different meals to the children, maybe skipping meals and stuff like that. you would skip meals in order to fund food for your children. yes.

the children are more important than me. this summer might be, let's play in the garden. let's play in the garden for six weeks. have you ever felt things being as tight family as they are at the moment? no, definitely not. even though as we have, we've got a mix of some obviously parents who aren't working and some who are, and even the ones who are working now are feeling, feeling the struggle. local businesswoman kavita oberoi helped to set up the breakfast club scheme here, but is now trying to expand it to help families over the holidays. we've identified 77 families in this school that would benefit from that, but we're only a few days away from the start of the summer, so we are looking to work with other agencies and charities so that food parcels could be made available on a weekly basis. the city council says help is available over the summer forfamilies with school age children. well, we've got the holidays activity food fund, which is providing activities for young people who are normally having free school meals. and it's got activities from arts, drama, education, sports, etc.,

all across range and providing a mealfor them during the holidays. do you feel that you're providing enough support? is that enough? i think there's always room to do more. so we do have a number of other funds that we're hoping to do and working with people that are struggling. meanwhile, the government says it's protecting the most vulnerable families with at least £1200 of direct payments, starting with more than £300 currently being distributed with the summer holidays on the horizon. but for many parents, the next few weeks will be tougher than any previous summer. well, the cost of living has dictated much of the conversation around public sector pay, with many unions demanding that wages catch up with the rate of inflation. we're joined now by simon clarke, the chief secretary to the treasury.

morning two years. we have been heafina morning two years. we have been hearing this _ morning two years. we have been hearing this morning, _ morning two years. we have been hearing this morning, the - morning two years. we have been hearing this morning, the latest i hearing this morning, the latest inflation figures at 9.4%. the government has blamed external factors. . . . factors. nadhim zahawi has said we are in a position _ factors. nadhim zahawi has said we are in a position to _ factors. nadhim zahawi has said we are in a position to bring _ factors. nadhim zahawi has said we are in a position to bring it - factors. nadhim zahawi has said we are in a position to bring it under i are in a position to bring it under control. how do you plan to do that? it is notjust the government saying the drivers of this are external, it is the independent bank of england saying 80% of the causes of the inflation are external. basically, the impact of covid and global supply chains and the consequences of russia's war on ukraine. the government and the banker focused of russia's war on ukraine. the government and the bankerfocused on bringing inflation down as quickly as possible. we need to do our bit by making sure public finances are sustainable, focusing on reforms to our economy to help improve productivity. the bank needs to monitor interest rates carefully and

strike the right balance, in accordance with their independent mandate. we are confident and the bank of england is confident we will see a marked improvement in 2023. in the meantime, the government is putting into place a £37 billion package of support for families up and down the country, precisely designed to help with the undoubted pressures the situation is throwing up. nobody underestimates how challenging this is we are determined to do our full part to look after the british people at a time when global events really are taking a toll here at home. you referenced _ taking a toll here at home. you referenced guidance from the bank england. they put predict inflation could hit 11%. —— they predict. it could hit 11%. —— they predict. it is crucially important when setting public sector pay, when people do so much hard work for our society, we strike the right balance between

managing the risk of worsening inflation, of baking it in and making it worse by setting very high pay deals, while also looking after our workforce. obviously, the author that has been made to the public sector has to be seen in the context of the £37 billion package of support designed to help family incomes. what i would say is, the great majority of these pay deals are to yield messy workers on the lowest incomes get the largest increase. —— pay deals are tiered, so workers on the lowest incomes. lower paid workers in the police force, for example, they will receive increases of more like 9%, a fair reflection of the offer we are making. across the board, the average is around 5%. we have followed the advice of the

inflame an inflation problem which, if we allow it to run away from us, will as we saw in the 1970s, lead to real problems in terms of living standards and the productivity and wider sustainability of uk public finances and the economy. inflation is an external _ finances and the economy. inflation is an external pressure. _ finances and the economy. inflation is an external pressure. you - finances and the economy. inflation is an external pressure. you said i is an external pressure. you said you value and appreciate people on front line services. would you feel valued if you had a 26% pay cut in real terms? it valued if you had a 26% pay cut in real terms?— real terms? it is not the case the settlements _ real terms? it is not the case the settlements are _ real terms? it is not the case the settlements are in _ real terms? it is not the case the settlements are in anyway - real terms? it is not the case the| settlements are in anyway unfair. real terms? it is not the case the i settlements are in anyway unfair. it has to be seen against the wider backdrop of the £37 billion package of support the government is providing and the fact the lowest paid workers are receiving pay rises more like 9% this year. if you look at the nhs, for example, the average pay increase is £1400. in the

police, it is £1900. teachers, 5% rising to 9% for new entrants into the profession. that is how we can deliver a starting salary of 30,000. we had to balance, as i say, public finances, the inflation risk and fairness when striking these deals. following the advice a pay review bodies, i think we have struck the right balance. bodies, i think we have struck the right balance-— right balance. these are 'obs on which society * right balance. these are 'obs on which society relies h right balance. these are 'obs on which society relies to h right balance. these are jobs on which society relies to be - right balance. these are jobs on which society relies to be done l which society relies to be done well. teachers receiving an 8% pay cap between 2007 and 2014, a pay freeze between 2007 and 2021. they are fed up and have been for more than a decade.— are fed up and have been for more than a decade. teachers received an averaue than a decade. teachers received an average increase _ than a decade. teachers received an average increase of _ than a decade. teachers received an average increase of 596 _ than a decade. teachers received an average increase of 596 rising - than a decade. teachers received an average increase of 596 rising to - than a decade. teachers received an average increase of 596 rising to 996| average increase of 5% rising to 9% for newjoiners. there is no doubt we are doing our best. that for newjoiners. there is no doubt we are doing our best.— we are doing our best. that is for this year. — we are doing our best. that is for this year. it _

government has overseen these essentially paper hats for public sector workers. we know because we look at how salaries are coming in every mental people receiving bonuses in the private sector. many their salaries are keeping pace. —— many of their salaries. the their salaries are keeping pace. -- many of their salaries.— many of their salaries. the pay settlement _ many of their salaries. the pay settlement was _ many of their salaries. the pay settlement was actually - many of their salaries. the pay settlement was actually 496. i many of their salaries. the pay i settlement was actually 496. what settlement was actually 4%. what we're doing here is in line with the private sector. the sector does not have the runaway lifestyle you are suggesting. if you look at the terms and conditions of the public sector compared with the private sector, they are preferable. there is a pay premium before you factor in the better pension scheme the public sector benefits from by comparison to the private sector. we had to be responsible as a government. we are spending a record amount across all our public services at present and thatis our public services at present and that is something we are very proud

to do, to look after british families. we do have to be responsible in terms of pressure on taxpayers but also inflationary risk we are trying to manage. brute taxpayers but also inflationary risk we are trying to manage.- we are trying to manage. we will have to leave _ we are trying to manage. we will have to leave it _ we are trying to manage. we will have to leave it there. _ we are trying to manage. we will have to leave it there. if - we are trying to manage. we will have to leave it there. if you - we are trying to manage. we will| have to leave it there. if you have not gone outside yet, it is a lot cooler. it was a relief walking out this morning. what has changed? totally different. once again outside is cooler than inside. back to normal. yesterday we had extreme heat, the first time ever in the uk we have reached over 40 degrees and that was in turning speed in lincolnshire, beating easily the previous record in cambridge in 2019. —— in coningsbury. many sites yesterday beat that record yesterday in

about the rest of us! england take on spain in brighton tonight, as they bid to reach the semi—finals of the women's euros. trying to keep their cool during training in yesterday's temperatures wasn't easy though, as matt graveling reports. the south coast — home to sea, sun, and scoring. commentator: beth mead. still going. it's beth mead. that is sensational. lots of scoring. commentator: it's mead, kirby. eight in brighton, followed by five in southampton. commentator: 0h, kirby! the lionesses really do like to be beside the seaside. england have already broken records at this tournament, scoring 14 goals in the group stages, and more than half of those were here in their second game against norway. well, now, the lionesses are back in brighton for a quarterfinal against group b runners—up spain. i'm actually here for the whole tournament. i came over here from germany on the 5th ofjuly.

it's going to be a close game. oh, it's going to be a... it's going to be a close one, i reckon. it's going to be a bit iffy. this spanish side, although blighted by injuries, sit above england in the rankings. and so training today was a lesson in keeping your cool in a game unlikely to go all england's way. we were expecting a tough game against norway — really tough game, and didn't sort of turn out that way. so yeah, i think it's football, but i think that sometimes that sort of, you know, when you have to raise your game, it brings out the best in you and hopefully that will be us tomorrow. but england are flying. beth mead's five goals keeps the arsenal striker on course for the golden boot, and keeper mary earps has yet to concede. but the squad may still be without coach sarina wiegman, who last week tested positive for covid. will england change how they set up? i don't think so. i think it's going to be really a battle for possession and then whoever wins that battle really will be able to impress their game plan.

and we've seen england absolutely run away with games when they've been able to do that. so after days of rising heat from spain in england, can england now turn up the heat on spain? matt graveling, bbc news. for the past year here on breakfast, we've been following the three dads — mike, andy and tim — who became friends after losing their daughters to suicide and took on a mammoth 300—mile walk to raise awareness of the issue. at 8:30am today, the three dads will be back with us to launch their next challenge — walking to all four uk parliaments — to campaign for suicide awareness to be placed on the school curriculum. stay with us. headlines coming up.

good morning, and welcome to breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. our headlines today. dozens of wildfires and major incidents declared across the uk. firefighters describe it as absolute hell. the cost of living rises again at the fastest rate in 40 years as

inflation — the fastest rate in 40 years as inflation hits 9.4%. i'm in brighton where's england's lionesses take on spain tonight for a place in the semi—finals of euro 2022. but in oregon britain's jake wightman produces a stunning run to take 1500m gold at the athletics world championships. and the three dads will be here to tell us about their next challenge as they travel across the uk on their mission to get more schools to talk about suicide prevention. after the heat of the last couple of days. _ after the heat of the last couple of days, temperatures today will be a .ood days, temperatures today will be a good ten _ days, temperatures today will be a good ten or 15 degrees lower, but there _ good ten or 15 degrees lower, but there are — good ten or 15 degrees lower, but there are some thunderstorms in the forecast _ there are some thunderstorms in the forecast which could be torrential. i forecast which could be torrential. i will _ forecast which could be torrential. i will have — forecast which could be torrential. i will have all of the detail throughout the rest of the programme. it's wednesday 20th july. our main story.

still dominated by the extreme heat of the last few days. dozens of wildfires broke out across england yesterday, after temperatures hit an all time high in the uk of more than 40 degrees celsius. severalfire brigades declared major incidents, with one blaze destroying nearly 10 homes in east london, as david lumb reports. when it's as hot as this, even the smallest spark can trigger a huge blaze. wennington, in the east of london. flames soon ripping through homes. it was like a scene from the blitz, war of the worlds, windows popping out everywhere, explosions. it was pretty frightening, all—round, really but i'm pleased there was no fatalities. i was told i was needed to leave so i left and went to my local church because we have a community church, but after spending a few minutes in the church we realised that the church ground was also on fire, so we were told to evacuate the church. i was sunbathing in my garden and then a massive black- cloud has come across.

i looked up and that side. of wennington was on fire and within an hour it had spread all of the way to our house, - so we've got a field outside our house and that is on fire. - all of our cars have gone. luckily i got the animals - and the kid out and i'm waiting for an update on the house. yesterday the uk recorded temperatures over 40 celsius for the first time. by the afternoon, london fire brigade had received more than 1600 calls for assistance. the mayor of london said the service was under immense pressure. one london fire brigade source told the bbc demand was so high that at one point there wasn't a single fire appliance available to respond to calls because there were already committed. it wasn't just the capital struggling. 14 fire and rescue services declared major incidents including north and south yorkshire.

it's really, really challenging. and the crews have worked really hard along with our neighbouring brigade who gave us assistance. we had a pump from derbyshire helping out this afternoon, but the crews have worked really hard to bring the incident to a conclusion. in dartford, a fire burned fiercely next to the a2. and this was the scene in milton keynes where a fire damaged a nursery and several homes. there are concerns that with the grass dry and temperature high, conditions forfires remain. people have been urged not to have barbecues or bonfires due to the unprecedented challenges facing crews. the mayor of london, sadiq khan is warning of a "climate emergency" and says the london fire brigade is under "intense pressure".

hejoins us now. how are things for london this morning after that terrible night? can i begin by thanking the london fire brigade, heroic firefighters were working their socks off yesterday. it was the busiest day for the fire service in london since the second world war. on a normal day they might receive around 350 calls. on a busy day, around 500 calls. on a busy day, around 500 calls and yesterday we received more than 2600 calls and at the same time the fire brigade were fighting fires and some requiring 30 engines, some 15, some 12, some ten and in total 41 properties had been lost and 16 firefighters were injured but thankfully all were ok and two had to go to hospital but it shows the consequences of climate change with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees and it's not reined in the city for more than a month and the grass is

incredibly dry like hey or tinder and it can catch fire easily and the fire spreads fast and one of the great things about london is the amount of green spaces we have but one of the consequences of green spaces impinging on properties is where there are grass fires that can spread quickly and damage peoples properties. spread quickly and damage peoples tro terties. ., ., ~' spread quickly and damage peoples ttroerties. . , . , properties. looking at the pictures of some of— properties. looking at the pictures of some of the _ properties. looking at the pictures of some of the damping _ properties. looking at the pictures of some of the damping down, - properties. looking at the picturesj of some of the damping down, but properties. looking at the pictures - of some of the damping down, but the pictures are shocking and the number of places affected, properties in the grassland you refer to, do we know about the causes of any of these fires? any suggestion that any of them were started deliberately? some of the behaviour of human beings inadvertently, leaving a match here, or a glass bottle is on the dry grass and magnifies the rays and the spark leads to a fire starting in most of the fires were grass fires yesterday and what you normally see our fires in this

country in the national parks or on the moors all we don't normally see fires in london as they are akin to california or the south of france and this is my point, this is not normal, these are exceptional times and if we were speaking ten or 15 years ago we would be talking about a heatwave every years with temperatures in the mid 20s but if you look at the 12 hottest days in the country ever, all of them have occurred post—2003 and yesterday we were post—40 c and the chief medical officer say it's a threat to all of our lives, notjust those who are older vulnerable and for the first time in our history, the met office issued a red alert level and that shows the seriousness of this and why we should deal with the consequences and adapt our cities and make sure the fire service has the kit they need and we have full spaces across the city, water fountains but also deal with the

causes and tackle climate change. i've heard anecdotal reports of people saying that the crew was all out and all the pumps were out. the really good — out and all the pumps were out. tue: really good news is out and all the pumps were out. tie: really good news is we had volunteers coming in and made sure all of the firefighters could be fighting fires. i spoke to the commissioner this morning and many times yesterday and he has been in the service for decades now and was on the front line in the riots in 2011 and was at the scene outside the awful fire at grenfell tower and he says he has seen nothing like this in his long career and it is the busiest day we have had since the busiest day we have had since the second world war and it shows how stretched to the fire service was. the fire service does not declare a major incident likely. it was the surgeon calls being made and the size of the fires and normally

it would require two engines, at worst for and we had fires yesterday with many engines and it was a stretch yesterday and we got through it because of the great work of the fire service but we cannot afford to have more of these days which is why it's so important to adapt but also make sure it happens by tackling climate change.— climate change. what about the fundint of climate change. what about the funding of the _ climate change. what about the funding of the fire _ climate change. what about the funding of the fire service - climate change. what about the i funding of the fire service question mark does it make you rethink cuts or things more broadly? mt; or things more broadly? my inheritance _ or things more broadly? tc'i inheritance when or things more broadly? i inheritance when i or things more broadly? ti1: inheritance when i became or things more broadly? ti1 inheritance when i became mayor was fire stations has closed down and we had fire engines cancelled and firefighters lost their jobs had fire engines cancelled and firefighters lost theirjobs and since 2016 we have been rebuilding the london fire brigade needing more kit post grenfell and longer ladders, drones and so for but also more firefighters but the reality is we face a cost of living crisis and many of those who want to serve in the public service cannot afford to

do so because they are not keeping up do so because they are not keeping up with a cost of living so it's important for us to be rewarding those who serve on the front line whether it's firefighters, nurses, those in the transport service by giving them decent pay for a hard days work. we giving them decent pay for a hard da s work. ~ i. giving them decent pay for a hard da s work. ~ . ., giving them decent pay for a hard days work-— days work. we have to leave it there, days work. we have to leave it there. but _ days work. we have to leave it there, but thank _ days work. we have to leave it there, but thank you _ days work. we have to leave it there, but thank you for - days work. we have to leave it | there, but thank you forjoining days work. we have to leave it - there, but thank you forjoining us on breakfast. the record breaking heat has caused havoc on the rail network. after damage to overhead wires and tracks, there were mass cancellations across england yesterday. temperatures are dropping today, but operators are warning of continued disruption to some services. let's speak now to the independent�*s travel correspondent simon calder. so, temperatures coming down. i things on the railways settling? i’m things on the railways settling? i'm afraid to say they are not. i am at kings _ afraid to say they are not. i am at kings cross, _ afraid to say they are not. i am at kings cross, the hub for the east coast _ kings cross, the hub for the east coast main— kings cross, the hub for the east coast main line which connects the capital— coast main line which connects the capital with yorkshire and tyneside and scotland and there are no trains

how much inflation is going to be, and balancing the two out, we just don't know. we are in unknown territory, aren't we, really? three, two, one... back at the centre, wayne says some of the customers he serves at the food hub are already desperate. we've had a lot of referrals where, on the form, it says absolutely no food in the house whatsoever. so that has been going on for days, they've had no food over a certain amount of days, so three or four days they had no food. they can't afford to pay their electric or gas and sometimes they cannot afford to heat the food we give them. so it is affecting what you give people. definitely. a lot of people take stuff you can just use with a kettle or microwave. as the local vicar drops in to offer his support, he says rising inflation is an ever—growing concern. i think it is a catastrophe of monumental proportions, and over the next few weeks and particularly into the winter, i simply can't even

begin to predict how people are going to live in any shape or form that's humane. there is a real palpable level of fear in peoples lives at the moment. as people here strive to make ends meet this summer, the cost of living is only expected to rise further, and organisations like this are already working flat out. with me is john, with me isjohn, the manager of the lner in the centre of derby, and andy who is the head brewer. andy, you must have seen your ingredients going into the beer going up. we have going into the beer going up. , have unfortunately. malt, hops, they have unfortunately. malt, hops, they have both gone up, which inevitably makes the process more expensive. and the british chamber of commerce said this morning that a lot of businesses are passing on the costs to customers. are you having to do

fires are becoming more common. what was once regarded as once—in—a—generation incidents are now becoming much more regular. it's not just wildfires or extremes of heat, it's also when we're dealing with wide—area flooding as well, which we experienced last year. london fire brigade has well—practised and well—rehearsed plans in place to deal with these types of significant incidents. well, london fire brigade is urging people not to have barbecues or bonfires in public parks or at home at the moment, due to the scale of the challenge currently facing crews. the body of a 14—year—old boy, who went missing in the thames in west london, has now been recovered. he entered the river at tagg's head island in hampton on monday afternoon, and the body was found yesterday. the teenager's death follows a number of others in open water in recent days, and authorities have warned of the dangers of trying to cool off in rivers and canals during the heatwave.

yesterday's record temperatures had a a major impact on the transport network, too. commuters are being advised to still check before travelling today. on the trains, there are currently no services at all at kings cross. but let's see what's happening on the tubes. there are minor delays for the central, circle, district and elizabeth lines. and severe delays on thejubilee. that takes us to the weather with kat christadoulou. hello. good morning to you. a much cooler day out there today, compared with the last couple of days. particularly yesterday when we had those record—breaking temperatures. having said that, it's still going to be feeling warm today with temperatures around the mid—20s. the met office have issued a yellow weather warning today — that's for thunderstorms. these thunderstorms very hit and miss during the day. there is a chance you may miss them altogether. any overnight showers clearing this morning. that will leave us with some sunshine at first. more cloud will bubble in through the afternoon.

still some sunny spells, but a scattering of showers. you can see the green in these showers indicates the heaviest bursts. one or two could fall on the heavy side, and yes, we may hear a few rumbles of thunder. a breezy day today and warm with temperatures around 26 degrees. this evening, any showers will clear away. it's going to leave a mostly dry picture for a time. further cloud will build and further showers will move through towards the end of the night. a little more comfortable for sleeping tonight, as temperatures dip to around 15, 16 degrees. as the cold front moves through, temperatures slip away even further. i'll be back atjust after 9am. now though it's back tojon and nina. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and nina warhurst. rather cooler this morning, you will be glad to hear, if you haven't left

the house yet. still we are dealing with the consequences of the heat yesterday. the wildfires that broke out across england yesterday, after temperatures hit an all—time high in the uk of more than 40 degrees celsius. our reporter tim muffett is in wennington this morning, where several houses have been gutted by fires. four households who have lost everything, it is unimaginable. emergency services are here this morning, assessing the damage. much of the villages still block stop the latest from the fire brigade, around 40 hectares of were destroyed. two detached houses, two semi detached houses, outbuildings, a stables and five cars. one of the houses belongs to team, who is with me. so sorry about what happened to your home.

here on breakfast, we're familiar with the "three dads" — mike, andy and tim — who became friends after their daughters all took their own lives. last year, they inspired a nation with their 300—mile trek to raise awareness of suicide — even catching the attention of daniel craig and nicole kidman. now, the dads are launching a new challenge, walking to all four uk parliaments to try to get suicide awareness on the school curriculum. alison freeman has been to catch up with them. # my dad's boots are old and worn # my dad's face is tired and drawn. # but my dad's feet will meet the dawn. # my dad's walking on.# when you know that kind of over 200 schoolchildren every year die by suicide, that's a whole primary school — dying. if that happened in one go, the government would do something about it. but because it happens in individuals, it doesn't reach and also, there's the stigma around suicide from when it was a crime. and we've still got that in society.

# we will walk and talk like men. # three dads walking on.# it was last year after meeting each other due to the deaths of their daughters, that the three dads decided it was up to them to get the subject of suicide at the forefront of people's minds with their daughters' photos in their backpacks. they walked the 300 miles between their three homes in cumbria, greater manchester and norfolk to raise awareness, as well as almost £1 million for the suicide prevention charity, papyrus. they talked candidly about the loss of emily, sophie and beth. you just feel as if you're in freefall, and you don't know where you're going. it's just devastating. absolutely devastating. and you just don't know how you'll ever recover from it. the world suddenly fell apart around us. there was suddenly nothing to hold onto. nothing felt real. butjust a sickness

in the pit of your stomach. devastation's too small a word. you know. you literally are plungedj into a surreal world of... ..of complex grief. and as a result, along the way, they met so many other people with their own stories of lost loved ones to tell. because they know what we're going through. we're all in the same club. not one you want to be in at all. and to actually talk to other people, who are going through the same, has beenjust... it's just been amazing. i've recently lost my daughter to suicide, and ijust need to understand why. i think the key thing i'd say is that, you know, - not to be on your own, really, just to talk to other people. newsreader: three fathers. they not only caught the attention of the nation, but hollywood stars, too.

daniel craig donated £10,000, as did nicole kidman, after seeing the dads' story here on bbc breakfast. so the sanctuary is in here. if you're having a stressful day, oryoujust... you want to get away from everyone else and everything else that's going on, you can come in here. here at the school that tim's daughter went to, this room has been created in her memory with his help. suicide has also been discussed in lessons — something the three dads now want to see made compulsory in all schools. do you think the three dads can change the way schools look at this? if it was statutory that all schools would be required to do so. we talk a lot about things like knife crime and radicalisation, and i'm not taking away or belittling that at all. but if we think about young people being more likely to be harmed by suicide than perhaps those other topics, and i think that all schools should be more prepared, or should be prepared to talk about suicide. and the students' response

has been positive. it's been... it's sort of, like, been a taboo subject of where you may feel as though you can't talk about it. so i think you've just got to break down that barrier. if you start the education at a young age, if you're ever in that position of where you think, ok, this is getting quite serious, with that education, you may think, "ok, i need to take a step back. i need to go and speak to someone." would you be able to ask a friend if, you know, are you considering taking that course of action? ifeel as though i could. do you think you and your friends are comfortable talking about it? i feel like if someone brought it up within the group, then we would be able to address it seriously and try to help them if it reached that point. how important is it, do you think, that young people are taught about suicide prevention? i think it's very important because it equips you - for later on in life. if you are in that situation, you have, like... _ it gives you a way out, in a sense. it gives you somewhere to turn. somewhere to turn. # there are miles and miles to go. # my dad's walking on.#

we talk lots about mental health, but we don't bridge the gap to suicide. and if you look at the current pshe curriculum, i don't think suicide is mentioned once in there. we need to mention it so the children and the young people know where to go because talking about it will save lives. how do you think you might have felt if you had heard that emily had been taught about suicide before her death? if any parent who's been bereaved by suicide had had the chance to expose their child, their young person to it, and have them talk in a constructive manner about it and a safe manner, then i'm sure they would prefer that and maybe be a little bit offended than to be living with the death of their son or daughter. # three dads walking on.# tim, mike and andy are here with us now. in their shorts and walking boots.

tim, i was really struck by what you said at the beginning of that piece. 200 children lost, the equivalent each year of a primary school. if we were to lose that number of children each day, something more would be done and that is not happening. that is how it feels. _ done and that is not happening. that is how it feels. when you lose a child to suicide, you feel isolated and on your own until you team up with other aggrieved parents. because you are on your own, there is no impact. because it is a group of you being affected at once, as a nation, society, he would do something about it. it is nation, society, he would do something about it.- nation, society, he would do something about it. it is a horrible amount. something about it. it is a horrible amount- you _ something about it. it is a horrible amount. you guys _ something about it. it is a horrible amount. you guys are _ something about it. it is a horrible amount. you guys are certainly i something about it. it is a horrible i amount. you guys are certainly doing something about it. have already done something about it and you are taking it to the next level. talk us through it. this is my hundred miles you are going to do? i’d through it. this is my hundred miles you are going to do?— you are going to do? i'd hundred comment nearly _ you are going to do? i'd hundred comment nearly six. _ you are going to do? i'd hundred comment nearly six. if _ you are going to do? i'd hundred comment nearly six. if we - you are going to do? i'd hundred comment nearly six. if we go - you are going to do? i'd hundred | comment nearly six. if we go the

the 28—year—old has impressed all summer. on the biggest stage, could he rise to the occasion? well, just watch this. commentator: jake wightman has another go. _ round the final bend, he overtook the olympic champion, jakob ingebrigtsen. still his rivals were queueing up behind him but wightman dug in and stubbornly, stunningly, he held on for glory. commentator: jake wightman! he could become the world champion. he's going to stay strong, and he is going to do it. gold forjake wightman. even he, it seemed, could scarcely believe it. he was only tenth at last year's olympics, what a transformation! well, what a moment forjake wightman! just when it mattered, he has produced the performance of his life and britain has a new world champion. i was hoping i did enough to hang

on. i expected jakob or someone else to come past. i thought, what has happened? have i missed counted a lap? have i missed someone crossing the line? it will take a while to settle in. and get this... commentating on the race inside the stadium was none other than his dad, who's also his coach. to commentate on your son winning a world title, i mean, how did you even go about doing that? so i have been doing it at school sports day since he was about 11 because my wife's his pe teacher. so we've just taken it to slightly bigger stadia, slightly bigger crowds, and slightly bigger medals. it was surreal watching it because you're thinking, "i know that guy, he has a familiar look!" and britain's last 1500m world champion told me it was richly deserved. i couldn't be more happy for him. he is one of the nicest guys in the team. he's one of the best athletes i've watched run middle distances over the years, just because of how he races. it doesn't matter what else he does in the rest of his career, he will

never forget this. a day then of elation and emotion, and an unforgettable one forjake wightman. andy swiss, bbc news, eugene. well done to jake! it was extra special moment because the stadium commentator was none other thanjake wightman's dad, geoff — who is also his coach. listen to this! he was commentating for the crowd when his son took the title. he said: "that's my son and i coach him and he's the world champion." lam sure i am sure all the other competitors
