of colorado leaves five people dead. police have named the suspected gunman who's been arrested the housing secretary, michael gove, writes to every council and social housing provider in england, to warn that deaths like that of two—year—old awaab ishak must never happen again. labour's leader says they would replace the house of lords with an elected chamber, if they win the next general election. now on bbc news in the lead up to the world cup, life at 50 celsius explores the human impact of our changing climate, examining the impact of extreme heat on migrant workers in the gulf. summer in qatar is very hot. very hot. i am talking temperatures of 50 celsius.

unbearable, to be honest. unbearable. thanks to climate change, the gulf is heating up at twice the average global rate. temperatures regularly hit 50 degrees. citizens of these oil—rich countries can keep the heat at bay, for now. you can find air—conditioning everywhere. in your car, in your home, in the office, in the malls, in the cinema, everywhere. but for the migrant workers, it is a different story. it is important to recognise the symptoms of heat stress on yourself and others. boss!

sita magar�*s husband was called dhan bahadur magar. in 2015 he went to work in the gulf, first in saudi arabia, then in qatar.

the gulf is home to well over 1a million migrant workers, mostly from asia and africa. they come here to support their families back home.

in late september 2019, while dhan was in qatar, the country hosted the world athletics championships. the races revealed that no amount of fitness can protect the body from extreme heat.

commentator: hello and welcome. it is time for the women's marathon here. from the glorious corniche of doha, the capital of qatar. one of the most impressive skylines in the world. i can remember coming here 15 years ago and most of those blocks were not even there. ethiopia's female long—distance runners have won 26 olympic medals. they are among the world's finest. a $60,000 prize awaited the winner of the marathon. one of the favourites was ruti aga.

the marathon started at the supposedly cooler time of midnight, but in these hot, humid conditions it felt like it was over a0 degrees. there are the athletes. back to in the top ten all—time. the heat and humidity has been a big topic in the build—up to these championships and they have laid on extra medical staff. it will be fascinating to see this race unfold. so they are under way, then. isn't that amazing? some of the athletes already getting sponges,

cold water to douse themselves. afterjust a0 minutes, athletes began collapsing from heat exhaustion. we are hearing that one athlete has already succumbed to the conditions and is actually in quite a bad way. and there is a sad sight. being loaded onto one of the many ambulances. ruti aga realised she as well was in trouble. it is a bad day for the ethiopians. goodness me. well, ruti aga and her fellow

athlete has dropped out. four ethiopians out, that is a big huge shock. altogether, nearly half the athletes dropped out of the marathon.

sita, whose husband left nepal for qatar, is visiting his family in a remote village. after they got married, she now lived here. dhan was now working on the family farm, but it was hard to make a living.

in the last 15 years, more than 2000 nepali workers have died in qatar alone. a recent study found that 571 deaths over eight years caused by cardiovascular disease, over a third would probably due to heat stress,

which is preventable. this man works for the qatari department of labour, which is responsible for migrant workers. we told him about dhan�*s death and that his family and doctor believed it was caused by heat.

across the gulf, extreme heat is affecting ever more people. besides causing heart failure, it can also leave workers with life altering illnesses.

hem worked in the uae forjust two years before his kidneys failed.

dr rishi says that in any week he sees two or three patients whose kidney problems began in the gulf. treatment is expensive and has to be paid for by the state. yet nepal is one of the world's poorest countries. few nepalis have received compensation either from the companies they worked

for or from the countries themselves, which are among some of the world's richest. for migrant workers, even raising safety concerns can be dangerous, as a kenyan called malcolm found out. i used to be a security guard in qatar. i myself have been posted outside. in just the shortest amount of time you can be covered from head to toe in sweat, you are completely drenched. it is that hot. it was around mid—2020, this was around the peak of summer. during this time, the minister

of labour prohibits people from working under the sun from around 10am—3pm. malcolm was guarding buildings owned by the qatar foundation, a charitable trust with links to the qatari royal family. on one occasion, we had one vip, a member of the royalfamily, visit the property. she arrived at around 10am or "am, i think, and by this time the temperatures are crazy high. i was working in the cctv control, so i could see. people are posted on different junctions and these guys were outside from 7am in the morning until around close to 1pm probably when she left and during this time, mind you, people are prohibited from working outside, so this was a violation, actually. this is a charitable foundation. i mean, if any person is supposed to be mindful of other people's welfare, it is this person. i saw people sweating, i saw people just struggling

to keep still and all that. and this person came and saw people standing outside and did nothing about it. and this went on for the remainder of summer and nothing was done. fast forward to 2021. the guard is still standing outside for extended periods of time and i am thinking, summer is just around the corner. i have to do something about it. i wrote an article describing what happened, just the reality of what we go through on a day—to—day. my company gave me up. they... they handed me over to the authorities. they thought that i was working with, you know, foreign agents to spread disinformation and spoil qatar. for the first two weeks, i had no contact with anyone, i was... blindfolded, all those things, handcuffed, so i didn't really know where i was. i didn't have any hope.

the embassy, the kenyan embassy came to visit me. they mentioned that a lot of people are working to have me freed and all that, so that is when i gained some level of courage. after a month in solitary confinement and a $6,800 fine, malcolm is back in kenya. we cannot change the climate crisis without freedom of speech. we have to speak out about certain things. if qatar gets any hotter... i think the people who fill it be migrant workers... back in nepal, kidney patient hem and other former migrant workers

are trying to find ways to improve conditions. labour unions are illegal in some states like the uae, but workers still find ways to help each other.

hello. the week ahead will see more bands of wind and rain sweep

across the country at times. but tonight will be one of the coldest nights of the week for many of you. certainly to the north and east of the country, widespread frost, fog patches, too. but things will be changing to the south and the west later on. let's take a look at what's happening then. still some showers around at the moment. they will fade across many inland areas. still a bit of cloud and patchy rain and strong winds in the far north east of scotland, then turning wet and windy, as i said, towards the southwest. temperatures will be lifting up here. but through much of scotland, a good part of england and north wales though a widespread frost. these are the temperatures to expect in the suburbs and the countryside as we start tomorrow morning. some dense patches of fog with it, but a bright start for many. it will change, though, to the south and west. these weather systems going to cause a few issues, particularly this developing low on the southern edge of it. it's here across south west england. we're going to see winds initially southeasterly quickly flip around to the northwest and at times it could reach speeds of around 70, maybe 80 miles an hour. that could cause travel disruption, a little bit of damage as well. and to go with it during the morning, we've got lots of heavy rain too, brightening up a touch

later on. rain north, then spread across other parts of wales, northern ireland through the morning and into the afternoon through good parts of the midlands, east anglia and the southeast. far north of england, scotland. well, the breeze will be developing here through the day, making it feel rather cold, but a lot of dry and bright weather to come through your monday. just a few showers in the far north east of scotland, but certainly a lot drier than we've had of late. so some cold air in place, the north and even colder airjust sliding in across northern scotland from scandinavia on the northern edge of our low pressure systems through into tuesday. so whatever falls here in the terms of showers could be heavy. with hail, thunder, sleet and snow mixed in elsewhere, early showers will gradually fade away. skies will brighten and we'll see some sunny spells, but still one or two showers into the afternoon. still on the cool side for many temperatures for most in single figures. tuesday night into wednesday, quite vigorous jet stream which has governed thinning things this week, pushes the next band of wind and rain our way.

the winds strong enough to push that through quite quickly. so it'll be a spell of heavy rain for a few hours. that will then clear to sunshine and heavy thundery showers. rain after a sunny start into northeastern scotland will hit areas, of course, fairly saturated at the moment. but again, that rain will push through. but it's more wet weather to come through the end of the week and into the weekend. one thing, though, temperatures will be on the rise so it won't feel quite as cool. bye for now.
