to or which temperatures got to or exceeded 30 degrees. the day this week, butjust watch what happens, it will intensify the heat wave even further and into the weekend. it is areas covered by the met office amber warning for extreme heat where the highest impact will be to health and transport but it will be hot across most parts of the country. high pressure is firmly in charge. the biggest exception to this story remains the north of scotland. weather fronts continue to wriggle round and heavy rain to come through the night. temperatures not dropping away too much, 13 or 1a degrees. but we have something more comfortable, single figure temperatures across scotland, northern ireland and northern england and rural parts, starting to get warmer into the south. sunny start in sunny day for many. it exception is northern scotland. the case of rain coming and going through the western isles in the western isles and 0rkney and shetland. heavy bursts and temperatures 15 to 18 degrees. under

the sunny weather, temperatures will lift to 27, 20 eight celsius in eastern scotland, 27 may be across northern ireland again. going to be cooler around the eastern coasts with the breeze coming in off the sea but we could see temperatures 36 celsius towards parts of the south west midlands in the afternoon and it will be hotter as we go into friday and indeed saturday. the potentially something cooler next week. thanks matt. and that's bbc news at ten on wednesday the 10th of august. there's more analysis of the day's main stories on newsnight with kirsty wark, which isjust getting under way on bbc two. the news continues here on bbc one, as now it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. but from the ten team, it's goodnight.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sam lister, political editor of the daily express and kevin schofield, political editor of huffpost uk. tomorrow's front pages, starting with the cost of living leads many of the papers, the front page of the metro quotes consumer expert martin lewis, who told the bbc this morning that rising energy bills need to be treated like the covid pandemic. the i says energy firms are being threatened with higher taxes if they don't increase investment in renewable and north sea gas. meanwhile former prime minister gordon brown has told the guardian that energy companies that can't offer lower bills should

be temporarily taken in to public ownership, to tackle the cost of living crisis. meanwhile the daily star is back to that martin lewis interview, where he called for what he labelled a �*zombie�* government to do more to help. the daily telegraph claims one spark could �*cause destruction�*, with the met office warning of an exceptional risk of wildfires across much of southern england. meanwhile, the yorkshire post shows a hidden bridge emerging from a reservoir near ripponden as water levels fall, but claims yorkshire water has said isn't planning to bring in a hosepipe ban. and the express reports fears from pharmacists that a shortage of key medicines could be putting patients at risk, with many having to visit several chemists to get prescriptions. so, let's begin. it is as bad as the covid—19 crisis. cost—of—living meltdown needs to be

treated like the pandemics as the metro. , , a, , treated like the pandemics as the metro. , , , metro. this is martin lewis saying this, many — metro. this is martin lewis saying this, many thousands _ metro. this is martin lewis saying this, many thousands of - metro. this is martin lewis saying this, many thousands of pounds l metro. this is martin lewis saying - this, many thousands of pounds these experts advised, he is giving a stark warning and the rising energy bills will be having an impact as the covid—19 pandemic. this is real apocalyptic stuff but i think he's making this spare warnings to try and get the leadership candidates to take action as quickly as possible and talk about civil unrest and people losing theirjobs and really horrible situation and, i think he is doing all guns blazing on this with these people were going to be

faster on the windfall tax and clearly, this is not really his decision to take, it's about the next prime minister and their new chancellor and he cannot make this decision at this time and so, it's trying to get the energy firms to act. ., , , act. you interviewed this trust the other day. — act. you interviewed this trust the other day. what — act. you interviewed this trust the other day, what do _ act. you interviewed this trust the other day, what do you _ act. you interviewed this trust the other day, what do you make - act. you interviewed this trust the other day, what do you make of. act. you interviewed this trust the i other day, what do you make of the other day, what do you make of the other race, you have a closer perspective and what is your inside track. liz perspective and what is your inside track. , , . , perspective and what is your inside track. , , ., , ., track. liz truss has, even at the beginning _ track. liz truss has, even at the beginning of— track. liz truss has, even at the beginning of this _ track. liz truss has, even at the beginning of this race, - track. liz truss has, even at the beginning of this race, she - track. liz truss has, even at the j beginning of this race, she said, i'm not the slickest candidate, she did not have a great first outing in the television debate. but she seemed incredibly relaxed, very positive and putting up a fight. current conference of the fact that she's taking over from

current conference of the fact that she's taking overfrom rishi sunak is the front runner. we endorsed her as the paper is a candidate today and all the papers have also said that she clearly is leading the way in terms of fleet street in the polling seems to show that she's doing better across the grass roots and she seems quite confident and keen to get out and talk to people and those impression i got from chatting with her on monday. whoever is the new prime _ chatting with her on monday. whoever is the new prime minister— chatting with her on monday. whoever is the new prime minister on - is the new prime minister on september the 5th, slash six left to deal with soaring inflation. but the financial times is a lead story saying that in america, inflation seems to be easing a little bit. they always say that america sneezes when europe catches the court. america — when europe catches the court.

were all afraid of. in the article, were all afraid of. in the article, we talk about notjust rural areas, but semi urban areas and it has the potential to really affect people, property and obviously, putting people at risk. but i think also its going to put a massive strain it's going to put a massive strain on the fire service and i remember back when i was reporting many years ago, lots of fire services cut productions and the number of fires and we didn't have, people at smoke alarms. and obviously, have the scenarios, you realise that actually it's 13 and the last air so as a result of this heatwave and so, you know, we really rely on those people to protect us at this time. fine

get the occasional hot weather or snow in our infrastructure, our country is not designed for these weather extremes. and there's going to be things that people to think about but retrofit and certainly, it would really struggle to retrofit to go to this kind of weather and still melting, six, i'm not sure you deal with those kinds of issues it's going to take an awful lot of very clever designs in a flood of money to solve this problem, but i guess of this the way things are going the people will have to complete solutions for these issues. to the daily mail. someone who gets it. this is the chief executive of constabulary and the said burglary, victims are being led down by the police, saying that these are not
