at 25 degrees in the same way ever again, will be? you are absolutely right, i was thinking about that, today, 25 is the temperature in the south—east. after 40, you know what, and we could get 30 degrees this weekend in east anglia and i want to say that's going to be a very hot day, but then again, is it? one thing that we would like is some rain. now, thunderstorms are possible, rain bearing clouds are possible, rain bearing clouds are possible over the next couple of days. not too many of them and we really need the rain. we had such a dry spring. it's been a scorching summer so far dry spring. it's been a scorching summerso farat dry spring. it's been a scorching summer so far at least at times, a lot of parched land out there. these temperatures nothing spectacular compared to what we had but it's so dry out there so any rainfall that we talk about is often good news, but you can see that only specks of rain here and there on the weather map and through today and tomorrow i think it's going to be a case of hit and miss showers. now, from tomorrow morning, the showers will be out

towards the west. it will be a muggy start to the day, temperatures 14, 15, 17 degrees first thing tomorrow in london but let's pick up on those showers. the south—west of england, wales, through the midlands, there could be a few more reaching the south coast tomorrow, but again, many of us will miss them. of course, what we don't want is an awful lot of rain in a short space of time because that causes flash flooding and i guess there is a possibility of that in some areas tomorrow, but the vast majority of us missing the heaviest of the rain. tomorrow, very modest temperatures, 22 in london, a mere 15 in aberdeen, a cold 12 for our friends 22 in london, a mere 15 in aberdeen, a cold 12 for ourfriends in lerwick. there is a change on the way some good news if you want some rain. a low pressure is approaching on saturday. but at the same this vortex of wind, this low pressure by its virtue is also going to scoop up warmer airfrom the its virtue is also going to scoop up warmer air from the south, so that does mean that whilst we have this area of low pressure approaching is bringing the cloud, the outbreaks of rain and the freshening breeze out

towards the west, at the same time it's also scooping up that warmer airfrom france which it's also scooping up that warmer air from france which will be heading towards the south—east and east anglia, so modest temperatures again in the south—east, 25—27, i would call that very warm, but by the time we get to sunday, after a few showers passed through those temperatures could peak at around 30 or so, temperatures could peak at around 30 orso, but temperatures could peak at around 30 or so, but elsewhere across the country we've got some welcome rain spreading into parts of wales, possibly the midlands, northern england. temperatures ranging on sunday between around 20 or so in belfast and glasgow, and that 30 in east anglia. and then, beyond that, is it going to stay warm? are the temperature is going to continue to climb? we think they will stabilise through the weekend and as we head into next week i think typical temperatures for the time of the year. but in terms of rainfall, not an awful amount to come. it's more from those hit and miss downpours where they occur and as i say through the course of the weekend

perhaps in the north—west of the uk a bit more cloud and perhaps in the north—west of the uk a bit more cloud and rain perhaps in the north—west of the uk a bit more cloud and rain at perhaps in the north—west of the uk a bit more cloud and rain at times. might even need a at times! tomasz, thank you very much. a reminder of our top story... liz truss criticises her rival�*s rival�*s economic policies. it’s rival's economic policies. it's wron: rival's economic policies. it's wrong to _ rival's economic policies. it's wrong to raise _ rival's economic policies. it�*s wrong to raise corporation tax, we need getting businesses going, levelling up all parts of the united kingdom, we should not be raising taxes. ., �* , ., kingdom, we should not be raising taxes. . �* , ., ., kingdom, we should not be raising taxes. . �*, ., ., �* �* , taxes. that's all from the bbc news that one so — taxes. that's all from the bbc news that one so it's _ taxes. that's all from the bbc news that one so it's goodbye _ taxes. that's all from the bbc news that one so it's goodbye from - taxes. that's all from the bbc news that one so it's goodbye from me i taxes. that's all from the bbc news l that one so it's goodbye from me and we joined the bbc�*s that one so it's goodbye from me and wejoined the bbc�*s news that one so it's goodbye from me and we joined the bbc�*s news teams where you are. it's not looking great at the moment. there are around a dozen fairly substantial fires which are active at the moment. most of those are across the north of the country, particularly in the north—western region of galicia. there are two very large fires there. which have consumed around 30,000 hectares so far and caused several hundred people to be evacuated from their homes. there is another very large fire in the north—east of the country, in the province of saragossa. that's a fire which started relatively recently. the local government there is very

worried about that and has asked for special help from central government and from surrounding regions as well. there are a number of other fires still going. however, there are some other places that have been put out, particularly a very big one which was causing tremendous problems in the central province of zamora just north—west of where i am in madrid, and which consumed around 30,000 of land and caused hundreds of people to be evacuated. that fire seems to be under control, so it is very much a mixed picture. but the authorities are concerned about the coming days and, with these high temperatures we are seeing, obviously that's a worry. good afternoon. hello, i'm paul scott. it's 1:30pm and here's your latest sports news. it was a mixed day for britain on day 6 of the world athletics championships in oregon. medal hopeful max burgin withdrew from the men's 800m with injury, but eilish mccolgan and jessica judd are through to the women's 5,000m final. rounding up all the action, here's our correspondent andy swiss. the british performance of the day was no doubt from matthew hudson—smith. he qualified second fastest for the final of the men's 400 metres. he broke the long—standing british record on this very track earlier this summer. he has been in great form. so he will certainly be eyeing a medal in the final on friday. there was disappointment for another big british hope. the 800 metres runner max burgin had to pull out of his heat because of a calf injury.

he's the fastest man in the world this year over 800 metres. he was a big british medal hope so that's a huge shame for him and for the british team. only two gold medals were decided. kazakhstan's norahjeruto won the women's 3,000 metres steeplechase. aimee pratt finished second in a new british record. there was a big shock in the women's discus. china's feng bin beat her personal best by more than three metres. we'll find out the second euro �*22 semifinalist later as germany take on austria in brentford. the winner willjoin england in the last four after the lionesses produced a late comeback to beat spain in brighton last night. after a goalless first half, it was the spaniards who deservedly took the lead 10 minutes into the second half. esther gonzalez with the goal. with hope and time running out, ella toone levelled matters in the final 10 minutes. but the goal of the game was in extra time — georgia stanway with this belter, sealing her team's place in the last four, where they'll face belgium or sweden who meet tomorrow. a peak television audience of 7.6

million people watched that win. former england international rachel yankey believes the increased interest in the women's game is a huge benefit. the visibility, the ability to change perceptions. you know, we've now got visible role models for young kids and for everybody else. so that's exactly what we want. will they go and win it? i don't know. there are many other teams that are fantastic that are still in this competition. it's going to be tough. but they've got a good side and good momentum and definitely have the home support, fan support. so we are all behind them. 2i—time grand slam champion novak djokovic looks set to miss next month's us open because of his covid—i9 vaccination status. tournament organisers say they won't have a vaccination mandate, but will respect the us government's rules, which require non—citizens to be fully vaccinated against coronavirus in order to enter the country. the three—time us open champion was kicked out

of australia earlier this year because of his vaccination status. the serb is just one grand slam title behind rafael nadal. meanwhile, the four—time winner of the tour de france, chris froome, is missing stage 18 of the race today after testing positive for covid—i9. froome had been enjoying his best tour de france since his career—threatening crash in 2019 and secured a surprising third place finish on stage 12. his team say he was the only rider on the team to return a positive result. the 37—year—old hopes to return next month. and the last high altitude of the test takes place in the pyrenees today. denmark is still favourite to win the race. there is full coverage on the bbc sport app and on the website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport.

have been linked to the fires so far. world leaders are now at their action stations, trying to contain the situation. spain's prime minister visited a fire monitoring station. translation: . ., . , translation: the climate emergency is a reali . translation: the climate emergency is a reality- i — translation: the climate emergency is a reality. i said _ translation: the climate emergency is a reality. i said at _ translation: the climate emergency is a reality. i said at the _ translation: the climate emergency is a reality. i said at the other - is a reality. i said at the other day. climate change kills people, it is legal for our ecosystem and our rich biodiversity and it poses a challenge for all those people and localities that have such extraordinary importance in the rural environment. it extraordinary importance in the rural environment.— extraordinary importance in the rural environment. it was a message echoed by france's _ rural environment. it was a message echoed by france's president - rural environment. it was a message | echoed by france's president macron. temperatures reached 42 celsius this week. translation: ,, ., ., , ., translation: several european countries that _ translation: several european countries that were _ translation: several european countries that were not - translation: several european - countries that were not experiencing great fires before a living through an exhilaration of the direct consequences of climate change, and so all of this will require us to make structural decisions in the coming months for the coming years.

while temperatures are cooling in france, other countries aren't so lucky. italy's firefighters are still under immense pressure as the fires continue to threaten trees and the wildlife around them. in portugal, helicopters have continued to be filling their buckets with water, hoping to save forests and save homes. but in some parts, it is already barren land. an elderly couple burnt to death in this car as they tried to escape the fire. these daily battles are being fought into the night. these apocalyptic scenes in greece, north of athens, show how relentlessly wildfires have become and how difficult it is to beat them. scientists argue until governments cut emissions and cut them fast, these red skies will become all too familiar.

0ur correspondent, guy hedgecoe has been giving us the latest on the situation in spain from madrid. it's not looking great at the moment. there are around a dozen fairly substantial fires which are active at the moment. most of those are across the north of the country, particularly in the north—western region of galicia. there are two very large fires there, which have consumed around 30,000 hectares so far and caused several hundred people to be evacuated from their homes. there's another very large fire in the north—east of the country, in the province of zaragoza. that's a fire which started relatively recently. the local government there is very worried about that and has asked for special help from central government and from surrounding regions as well. there are a number of otherfires still going. however, there are some other blazes that have been put out, particularly a very big one which was causing tremendous problems in the central province of zamora just north—west of where i am in madrid, and which consumed around 30,000

hectares of land and caused hundreds of people to be evacuated. that fire seems to be under control, so it's very much a mixed picture. but the authorities are concerned about the coming days and, with these high temperatures we are seeing, obviously that's a worry. now it's time for across the uk. the latest nhs waiting figures for wales show another drop in performance. they show the wait for cancer treatment is the worst on record — although there were big jumps in the number of people coming through the system. and for the first time a clearer idea ofjust how many people are on the waiting list. 0ur health correspondent jenny rees has the details. backin back in the pool last week, he would never know she had surgeryjust two months ago. injuly last year, she was told she had rectal cancer. she

place in belfast on what became known as bloody friday. it was one of the worst days of the troubles and resulted in the deaths of nine people. one of the worst attacks was in oxford street, as julian 0'neill reports. the belfast of today is a changed place. but in 1972, things were very different. ~ ., ., different. when i drive down oxford street and see _ different. when i drive down oxford street and see that _ different. when i drive down oxford street and see that red _ different. when i drive down oxford street and see that red brick- street and see that red brick building _ street and see that red brick building that is still there, i remember. i get a lump in my throat. the area _ remember. i get a lump in my throat. the area surrounding the waterfront hall used to be the site of a bus station, and the attacker was the worst of bloody friday. the first master credit to 10am. including fatal attacks at oxford street bus station and outside shops on the cave hill road. by half past three, nine people lay dead and more than

to catch the suspects. let's find out more from thomas mackintosh. within the space of a fortnight in december 2019, a gang of international jewellery thieves travelled to london, targeting the homes of three celebrities, and they made off with a haul worth £26 million. among the targets, a home belonging to chelsea legend frank lampard and his tv—presenter wife christine lampard, and a town house owned by the family of the late leicester city chairman vichai srivaddhanaprabha. but the biggest raid of them all was at tamara ecclestone's 57—room mansion. lots of things that were taken are basically irreplaceable to me because they have so much sentimental value. bracelets that jay had got me when i gave birth to sophia — one of them had her name and diamonds on it, which he gave to me in the hospital the day that she was born. there were diamond earrings that were my mum's that she gave to me when i was in my 20s. those are the things that i guess kind of hurt the most because they are memories of, like, the most special days of my life. i think we're never seeing those things ever again, and i...have to make my peace with that. there's just now always

worry, there's worry... ..about the one thing i didn't worry about, which was being safe in this house. located on billionaires row, it is one of the wealthiest streets in the world. it has 24—hour police patrols and is home to a number of embassies. just hours before the raid, tamara posted on instagram saying she was away for a family christmas holiday to lapland with her husband, jay rutland. he was the first to be told about the break—in. when you're woken up in the middle of the night and told to call someone, you obviously know it's going to be bad news, but... ..it gradually dawned on me in that conversation that, actually, they had been successful and they had been able to take quite a lot. they entered in via our back garden, hid behind a wendy house. apparently, they then break in via an extremely slim window! they then spend an hour in the house. they go into every single room, on every single floor.

every single room is locked, so they use a crowbar to open every single door. the burglars were eventually disturbed, but made off with the stolen items into the night. in their hurry, burner phones and screwdrivers were dropped. police saw cctv of the three men flagging down a taxi, and detectives had to call over 1,000 black—cab drivers in order to piece together their getaway. they were traced to southeast london, then later to italy. last year, jugoslav jovanovic, alessandro donati and alessandro maltese were arrested, extradited, and pleaded guilty to conspiracy to burgle. the trio were jailed for a total of 28 years. having seen their faces, it's kind of haunting in a way, knowing that that kind of person has been roaming around your house and helping themselves freely to my most treasured, valuable possessions. it's just... it's just a horrible feeling. i feel like i can't get those faces, now, out of my mind. thomas mackintosh, bbc news.

who stole tamara ecclestone's diamonds? is on bbc three tonight at 9pm and is available to watch on iplayer now. the black and white film they back to 1898 and shows the annual mardi gras parade. even in the late 19th century, the big easy knew how to have a good time. this was canal street, more than 120 years ago, celebrating mardi gras in its own inimitable style. the floats, the costumes, the spectacle — new orleans putting on its best.

you did not go to canal street unless you were dressed up and i am sure that this was early on in the culture, in new orleans culture among all people. but here on mardi gras day, the people were dressed very well. mardi gras, or fat tuesday, is part of the fabric of the city. it's become a raucous affair these days with the crowds almost as big a part of the show as those on parade. things were a little different in 1898. the people standing there watching, are just staid and not really interacting the way that people are now. this footage, discovered only recently in a museum in the dutch city of amsterdam provides a window into the past, a past that still looks, despite the passage of time, strangely familiar. tim allman, bbc news.

fantastic pictures. lewis is with you between two and five, and i will be back between five and six. here is the weather. a fair amount of cloud today but still quite warm. particularly across the south of the country. one thing many of us are hoping for is rain—bearing clouds, and there is not enough a lot of rain in the forecast for today or tomorrow apart from hit and miss showers, perhaps thunderstorms with local downpours. but nothing widespread. it is very dry out there, the land is very scorched in many areas. here are the temperatures this afternoon. mid—20s in the south—east, typically high teens, perhaps 21 in the lowlands of scotland. showers, perhaps thunderstorms may occur in a few areas through the course of this evening. but more especially tomorrow, from morning onwards across parts of wales, the midlands.

and quite a muggy start to friday, around 6 or 7am. temperatures will be 17 degrees in cardiff and london, around 15 in the north—west of england. let's pick up on the showers tomorrow. you can see around wales, parts of the midlands, but many areas that are very, very dry miss them all together. very difficult to pinpoint where they are actually going to be. tomorrow's temperatures will be a little lower, perhaps the low 20s across the south of the country. and no higher than 17 in newcastle and 15 in aberdeen. the forecast for the weekend, then. here's an area of low pressure that will be approaching us, more unsettled conditions here and some welcome rain. to the south, high pressure. what this low is going to do is tap into some warmer air across the

continent here and shunt it in our direction. through the weekend, there will be a gradual rise in the temperatures across the south and the east whilst many western and northern areas are in this more unsettled spell of weather. so cloud and welcome rain, of course. the temperatures on saturday, 26 in london, easily high 205 across parts of east anglia as well. and this process continues into sunday with the low pressure moving in. i think the wettest weather will be in the north—west of the uk. we really need more rain further south. wherever you are, have a great day.
