at the closest point to earth. you don't need any special equipment to view it — apart from a camera to take amazing images like these. the next supermoon is expected in july next year. time for a look at the weather. here's elizabeth rizzini. hello. we have been hearing about the drought. a consequence of the dry weather is a dust devil spotted in county durham yesterday where temperatures reached 31 celsius. to put the weather fronts in context, this is how long some places in southern england have gone without rain, over a0 days. there are showers but as with all showers, hit and miss and could be thundering. they will not necessarily be

everywhere but some into the start of next week. until then we have the weather warning for extreme heat. across much of england as far north as the pennines, eastern wales, and devon and cornwall. that is in place until the end of the day on sunday with the heat uncomfortable for many and dangerous for some. still weather fronts in north—west scotland. yesterday, aberdeenshire saw 31 but cloudy here today. the majority have blue sky and sunshine with temperatures rising steadily. almost 3a degrees in west sussex at the moment and we have a few hours of heating left so high temperatures today and warm tonight. clear skies. some mist and low cloud across north sea facing case. the isle of wight saw a tropical night with temperatures not dropping below 20 celsius which could happen tonight

and also on the south coast of wales. tomorrow, more sunshine in mainland scotland with cloud to east facing case. the majority have blue skies, and temperatures could peak at 37 celsius most likely towards the west of london, west midlands, hampshire and sussex again but all change on sunday. high pressure moves east. low pressure will show its hand and introduce unstable air and will help to spark thunderstorms and will help to spark thunderstorms and will help to spark thunderstorms and will introduce fresher conditions next week. the thunderstorms most likely on sunday to the north and west of the uk. further south, still dry and hot. if we look at the outlook, you can see thunderstorms become widespread into the start of next week but because the start of next week but because the ground is so dry and hard there could be fresh flooding. a reminder

the usjustice department has asked a florida court to allow the search warrant to be made public. it may reveal the nature of a possible criminal case against mr trump. here's our north america correspondent peter bowes. the sprawling estate that donald trump calls home, the scene of a monday morning visit by federal agents with a search warrant. nearby streets were soon occupied by supporters of the former president, protesting at his treatment by the justice department. senior republicans chimed in, demanding that the authorities justify their decision. now, that's exactly what america's attorney general is attempting to do. merrick garland said he was asking a judge to authorise the release of the search warrant, along with a receipt left at the trump property for what was taken away. the department filed the motion to make public the warrant and receipt, in light of the former president's public confirmation of the search, the surrounding circumstances and the substantial public

interest in this matter. mr garland confirmed he personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant, but he didn't say why. much of our work is, by necessity, conducted out of the public eye. we do that to protect the constitutional rights of all americans and to protect the the integrity of our investigations. federal law, long—standing department rules, and our ethical obligations prevent me from providing further details as to the basis of the search at this time. thank you very much. the search is believed to be part of an investigation into the handling of presidential papers that were removed from the white house when donald trump left office. the washington post newspaper is reporting that classified documents relating to nuclear weapons were among the items fbi agents were searching for.

there's been no official confirmation of this, or anything to do with the search. in a statement, donald trump said not only would he not oppose the release of documents related to what he called the break—in of his home in floria, he was encouraging their immediate release. he added he believed they had been drawn up by a possible future political opponents who had a strong and powerful vested interest in attacking him. by any standards, this has been an extraordinary week in america. this saga is far from over but many of the former president's supporters who believe his claim that he is the victim of a witchhunt think it will increase the likelihood that donald trump will run for office again and may even boost his chances in 202a. peter bowes, bbc news. meanwhile, police in the us state of ohio say they've shot dead

a gunman who tried to break into an fbi office in cincinnati. the suspect fled the building after setting off an alarm, and was cornered after a car chase and an exchange of gunfire. police say they tried to negotiate with him, but shot him after he raised a weapon. the incident follows strong criticism of the fbi from supporters of donald trump. now it's time to take a look at some of the stories from our newsrooms this lunchtime �*across the uk' after weeks of high temperatures and low rainfall, there'll be a hosepipe ban in yorkshire for the first time in 27 years. yorkshire water says its reservoirs are now less than half full. the ban means you won't be allowed to use a hosepipe to water the garden, wash your car or fill up a pool. it starts on the 26th of august.

0ur climate correspondent paul hudson has been speaking to yorkshire water director, neil dewis. well, neil, reservoirs like this were full in march. how have we got to where we are at? well, we spoke injuly, and we said then it had been an incredibly dry spring, and it was looking like a very dry summer. since then, we have seen the heatwave which has set new records, and that has happened in yorkshire as well as across the country. and we have seen that continue over the last few weeks to the point where we are now, which is just below 50% in the reservoirs. do hosepipe bans actually make a difference? well, we have seen other companies in the south who have brought hosepipe bans in, and we have seen 10% reductions in their demands, so we know that yorkshire customers have responded very well to our last pleas, and we hope that in this

new request to put in a hosepipe ban, which is part of our drought management plan, that customers will respond, and that will help us preserve stocks and get us into the winter when we will hopefully then see a good recharge, and we can start to lift the hosepipe ban as soon as we start to see some significant rain fall. now, many viewers say that we should not be in this situation because you should have spent more money on sorting out leaks. what would you say to them? well, we have been achieving our leakage target for the last two years. this year, we are on target to achieve our leakage target. over the last ten years, we have spent £500 million, and we are at the forefront of some leakage technology, including satellites. at the moment, we have got additional gangs on, working 2a/7. we are fixing around 200 leaks a week at the moment, trying to get all visible leaks done within a8 hours. but of course, customers will still see some leaks, and we are prioritising getting round to them as fast as we can. what happens if it does not rain this autumn and winter?

that's exactly why we are asking now for customers to take action. when we look at our model, we have to model forward, we don't know, we can't be certain that it will rain, so that is why we take action now. that then allows us to apply for drought permits and drought orders, which mean we can reduce some compensation flows from reservoirs. it means we can extract more water from rivers during the winter. and that will allow us to sustain water supply into next year, but also help the recovery. and when we see some rainfall, that willjust speed up the process and enable us to lift the hosepipe ban more quickly. more on hosepipe bans and the drought throughout the afternoon on bbc news. a ceremony has been held in plymouth to mark the anniversary of the shooting which five people were killed. the local vicar said one year on from the events of august 12 the sense of grief and loss to still just as real.

half five, i think or 5am. oh, 4:30am! how was it getting up this morning? i didn't like it. for some, queues for the car park meant they missed the ascent. organisers have apologised. this is the first mass ascent of the fiesta and the first to happen here in three years. this is his daughter and his wife, they have come over from one bike, and they wanted to see the balloons, basically. —— from mumbai. for those lucky enough to be in a basket, expectation as well as a little trepidation. started getting nervous but it'll be exciting and special because i've never done anything like this before so it should be good fun. bristol bears chose a novel way to launch their new shirt. this balloon one of many, all shapes and sides spanning out to the south of bristol watched by thousands on the ground. it's amazing. after a couple of years of not being able to do this and having this on our doorstep is fabulous to watch, enjoying it. look, they are waving!

it's amazing, it's epic and inspiring, really uplifting. for some, queues for the car park meant they missed the ascent. tomorrow we will have the gates open at 5am, it'll be better, i can only apologise. tomorrow we will have the gates open at 5am, it'll be better, i can only apologise. 71 balloons took off this morning, marking a welcome return to the skies for this balloon fiesta. up to 50,000 people are expected in newquay this weekend for the annual boardmasters festival. it's one of the uk's biggest events and combines both music and surfing competitions. jemma woodman has been to see how it's going so far. arriving in their thousands into newquay train station, a long weekend of surf, sounds,

and this year, plenty of sun ahead. you're putting on the suncream already. yeah! i burn very easily, so, yeah, got to be prepared. extra train carriages have been laid on for what is devon and cornwall�*s biggest festival, with these campers avoiding saturday's train strike. laden with supplies, more than 50,000 festivalgoers will head to watergate bay, demanding a stepped up police presence. we work with the people of the town, with the people at the event, and we try and be the glue in the middle to make sure everyone has a nice, safe time. here at the grounds there are new features, like a ferris wheel. but with temperatures forecast to hit the 30s, what will really be in demand is drinking water. and there are concerns at how the heat will impact festivalgoers. there is a big risk if people don't take plenty of fluids and take shade opportunities and wear a hat, that they may become dehydrated. for traders, of course, it's an opportunity. usually we sell a lot - of hoodies and like, cardigans

and like, over things for in the evenings. i you might not need that this year. well, i was thinking we might, but it's going to be very late - in the evening that people get cold. boardmasters has had its fair share of challenges. last year, despite a covid testing policy, there was a massive spike in cases, complaints of 16 hour traffic queues on leaving, inadequate sanitation. but this year those issues have been addressed. we do get random things thrown at us, stuff we can't predict, especially in the sort of slightly unbelievable last couple of years. but we've got an amazing team here who adapt and work through those problems as best we can. and so far it's been running really, really well. and we've got a beautiful forecast ahead. so.. of course, if people do need to cool off, there is one massive water supply and that's the ocean, with many expected to head down and take a dip. jemma woodman, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with elizabeth rizzini.

more blue sky and sunshine for the majority as we head through the day today and the heat is likely to peak today tomorrow with temperatures rising steadily into the lower mid 30s in celsius and that met office weather warning is in place for extreme heat, an amber warning, the second highest level of alert and stretches across england as far north as the pennines into south—west england, devon and cornwall and highs of 32 celsius yesterday and into eastern parts of wales. the heat will be uncomfortable for many and could be dangerous for some but it's not hot everywhere. weatherfronts are running out to the far north—west of scotland, cooler and cloudier here and a caller feeling day across aberdeen, 30 celsius yesterday but a drop in temperature with easterly wind, but blue sky and sunshine for the rest of us and temperatures rising into the low 30s, may be 3a/35 degrees for the midlands and perhaps hampshire and sussex. overnight tonight, a warmer feeling

night across the board and some cloud running onshore from the north sea facing coasts and temperatures will generally be in the mid teens in celsius and we could see a tropical night towards the isle of wight with temperatures no lower than 20 degrees and also possible for the south coast of england and wales. a head start on the temperatures for tomorrow. more sunshine tomorrow across mainland scotland and plenty of blue sky and sunshine for the rest of the country as well and temperatures could be as high as 36 or 37 celsius, most likely for the south—west midlands and the cotswolds and 0xfordshire and perhaps towards hampshire, sussex and west of london again but all change on sunday. the high pressure moves away in the south and it introduces the possibility of some thunderstorms as we had throughout the day on sunday and also into the start of next week, along with some fresh feeling air. so on sunday, most of the thunderstorms as the heat holds on in the south of england and for much of wales as well

although there is the chance of one or two showers breaking out, but generally still hot and we draw in the fresh air into the start of next week and watch out the showers that will be everywhere but they could be flash flooding and there are localised warnings in place.

this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. the headlines at two... millions of people face restrictions on their water use as a drought is officially declared across parts of england. the declaration covers parts of the south west, southern and central england, and the east of england — after prolonged dry weather. this is an exceptional summer and we could all think about how we use our water. in fact, could all think about how we use our water. infact, even could all think about how we use our water. in fact, even think about where it comes from. when you have a shower, that water is coming from the environment, from rivers like here. there's extreme heat elsewhere in europe, too — firefighters are tackling huge blazes in france, and rivers are drying up in germany. the uk's economy shrank between april and june according to official estimates.
