you're live with bbc news. the uk had the hottest june on record, the met office has confirmed. the average monthly temperature of 15.8c exceeded the previous highest averagejune temperature, recorded in both in 1940 and 1976. our bbc meterologist, chris fawkes, gives us more on this. let's talk about uk temperatures first, a very hotjune. yes let's talk about uk temperatures first, a very hot june._ let's talk about uk temperatures first, a very hot june. yes and it's one thing — first, a very hot june. yes and it's one thing that's _ first, a very hot june. yes and it's one thing that's noticeable - first, a very hot june. yes and it's one thing that's noticeable is - first, a very hot june. yes and it's one thing that's noticeable isjust| one thing that's noticeable is just the margin by which we've beaten the previous record. normally when we look at temperatures you might beat the record by a tenth of a degree, the record by a tenth of a degree, the top three dunes had been separated byjust a tenth of a degree, but what we've done this year is we've annihilated that record by nine tenths of a degree.

we can actually see that here on this graph. so 15.8 degrees celsius beats the previous record that was set back in 19110 and 1976. the climate scientists at the met office can simulate the climate to see how likely these temperatures are to be beaten as a result of climate change and what they can do is roll back all of the carbon dioxide emissions that have been pumped out into the atmosphere by humans and see how likely it was to beat this figure of 14.8 likely it was to beat this figure of 111.8 compared with today plasma climate when we have more carbon dioxide sloshing around in what those scientists have discovered is that the likelihood of beating the old record here has doubled as a result of human emotions. and they can project forwards as well. when we look at the 1950s, these incredible gyms like we've just seen i expected to come around once every two years. they are expected to

become more frequent as a result of human induced carbon dioxide and methane climate change emissions. we are already seeing national records in south asia as well.— in south asia as well. that's right. if we broaden _ in south asia as well. that's right. if we broaden it _ in south asia as well. that's right. if we broaden it out _ in south asia as well. that's right. if we broaden it out into _ in south asia as well. that's right. if we broaden it out into a - in south asia as well. that's right. if we broaden it out into a global. if we broaden it out into a global perspective, we take a look at what happened in april and we saw new national temperature records being set in vietnam and laos and parts of thailand. temperatures reached unprecedented levels. that is part of the story with this climate change, we see national temperature records being broken much more frequently and if we look at what's going on in canada right now we have some extremely hot and dry weather that's been with us for month after month and that is caused nasty wildfires. in canada are the wildfires. in canada are the wildfires are the worst on record and will probably burn for the next couple of months. we have already been through an area of ground equivalent to the size of belgium, releasing over 160 million tonnes of carbon and some of the carbon dioxide then goes on to further warm

the planet. some of the other things thatis the planet. some of the other things that is quite incredible is of the last eight years globally the top eight warmest years on record have beenin eight warmest years on record have been in the last eight years and that's despite the fact we've had a natural the mania pattern which cools the atmosphere. right now that is changing and we are starting to get an el nino pattern which is one what is in the pacific and that tends to warm our atmosphere even more so it's quite likely we will see some of the warmest years we've ever recorded on the planet over the next four years. ever recorded on the planet over the next four veere— now it's time for a look at today's sport. hello from the bbc sport centre. let's start at wimbledon as the reigning men's singles champion novak djokovic has begun the defence of his title on centre court. he's taking on world number 68 pedro cachin. chethan pathak is watching.

early on. the 28—year—old, novak djokovic is 36. he hasn't lost on that code for a decade. he won the first set 6—3. let me tell you what's happening on court one because play is back in the way and it is match point. she is hoping to make it past the fourth round of the championship for the first time and she has won that match and she is through, the first —— the french open champion hoping to figure it out on grass and she has won in straight sets. so the number one seed goes into the second round. in football, newcastle united have confirmed the signing of midifelder sandro tonali from ac milan for a reported fee of £55 million, which would make him the most expensive italian footballer of all time. and tottenham have reached a verbal agreement to sign manor solomon. the 23—year—old is set to undergo a medical this week.

hejoined fulham on loan from shakhtar donetsk, after exercising a rule allowing ukraine—based players to suspend their contracts, following russia's invasion of the country. the israeli international will become tottenham's fourth signing of the summer. roy hodgson is targeting a "top half finish" with crystal palace, after the club confirmed he will be their manager next season. the 75—year—old returned to palace in march when he replaced patrick vieira on a deal until the end of last season. he helped steer the side out of the relegation zone, taking 18 points from his 10 games in charge, to finish 11th in the premier league. hodgson says he's "immensely pleased and proud" to be staying at palace. elsewhere, nathan lyon will miss the rest of the ashes series against england, with a calf injury sustained in the second test at lord's. lyon took to the field in australia's second innings, but was unable to run, and was in visible discomfort, after initially sustaining the injury on the second day. batter matthew renshaw has also been omitted from the squad,

with the third test set to get underway at headingley on thursday. the netherlands are looking to keep their hopes of qualifying for the men's cricket world cup alive as they take on oman. oman won the toss and elected to bowl. vikram singh�*s maiden odi century helped the netherlands set them a target of 362. oman are currently 135 for four in reply. and that's all the sport for now. the uk's competition and markets authority has said drivers paid an average of six pence more per litre of fuel at supermarkets last year and has blamed retailers increasing their profit margins. a report out today has made a number of recommendations, including a "fuel finder" scheme, to help people find the cheapest prices. earlier, i spoke to simon williams, who's fuel and road—safety spokesperson for the royal

automobile club, or the rac. the wholesale price of fuel has fallen from where we were last year when we had record prices for petrol and diesel. but unfortunately the retailers didn't pass on those savings to drivers and today everything we've been saying for years in terms of our monitoring of the fuel market has been proven to be true, that the supermarkets have increased their margins and haven't given their customers and other drivers a good deal at the pumps. now hopefully today's landmark decision will lead to change. honor decision will lead to change. how will it lead to _ decision will lead to change. how will it lead to change? the - will it lead to change? the government _ will it lead to change? the government have - will it lead to change? tie: government have recommended will it lead to change? tte: government have recommended and there is going to be a pump price monitor so retailers will be mandated to submit prices in real time is so drivers will be able to

use an app to see whether best deals are at the pumps and also they are going to be monitoring the wholesale market to make sure when prices come down the retailers move their prices down the retailers move their prices down on the forecourt too. so drivers get a fair deal as opposed to what's been going on now when they have been effectively ripped off. we have seen the average price off. we have seen the average price of diesel got drastically and we've had margin reached 25p a litre as opposed to the long—term 7p a litre margin. so well over three times more margin at a time when we have a 5p more margin at a time when we have a 5p fuel duty cut so that many which the governor has given to drivers to help with the cost of living crisis hasn't been making it to their pockets. hasn't been making it to their ockets. �* �* , ' pockets. and it's different in northern _ pockets. and it's different in northern ireland. _ pockets. and it's different in northern ireland. talk - pockets. and it's different in northern ireland. talk me i pockets. and it's different in - northern ireland. talk me through that. ., ., ., , ., northern ireland. talk me through that. ., ., ., ., that. northern ireland has a far more transparent _ that. northern ireland has a far more transparent market. -

in the colorado river. the decision to scale back production of the sauce has led to bottles being advertised online for up to one hundred and twenty dollars. that's twenty five times the normal price. hello. we're looking at an unsettled start to the new week. today, broadly speaking, it's a day of sunny spells and showers, although there are some longer spells of rain around, particularly for northern england and across northern areas of scotland where the weather is going to be quite wet today. nevertheless, for many of you, it is a day that you might spot a rainbow or two in the skies like this one from northern ireland sent to us earlier on. so probably some of the heaviest rain will be working across northern england to lincolnshire. showers break out across east anglia. south east england. yes, i think we probably will see a shower at wimbledon, but any rain interruptions, probably quite short lived, maybe ten or 15 minutes, and then the sun shall be back out. temperatures for the most part, a little bit below average, generally about 17 to 19 degrees celsius today. overnight tonight, many of the showers ease for a time, although there'll be some more rain developing across wales and south

west england later in the night. and our rain band in northern scotland will slowly trickle towards the central lowlands overnight as well. now tomorrow, it is another unsettled one. however, i think we are looking at potentially some much longer spells of rain, especially across parts of eastern and southern england. now, i think the rain here could be much more extensive, further northwards and much slower to clear as well. so bear that in mind. you can see a rain band working across scotland and northern ireland. so a bit of wet weather there. in between should see some spells of sunshine. temperatures still a little bit below average for the time of year, generally into the high teens. but for wimbledon tomorrow, i think we're looking at a high chance of seeing some quite prolonged spells where the rain will be affecting play. now we'll take a look at the weather picture into the middle part of the week. and the low pressure is still with us, but it's weakening and it's mainly to the northwest of the uk. it means that it's here where we'll see the lion's share of the showers on wednesday. but otherwise, i think showers

much less widespread. and so there should be more of you that stay dry with a bit more in the way of sunshine around. and given that, it should start to get a little bit warmer, temperatures reaching the low 20s. now, there are going to be some changes towards the end of the week. a weather front could bring some particularly heavy rains to the western side of the uk, perhaps even heavy enough to cause some localised surface water flooding. but certainly winds across more eastern areas will drag up some much hotter air. so for some, temperatures could get towards the upper 20s through friday and saturday.
