you're watching the context on bbc news. temperatures hit record levels all across the world, the uk announced it has been through its hottestjune ever. pressure grows on our global emissions and how key industries can not find solution to tackle the human impact on climate change. there are new indications that global temperatures spiked injune. that's intensified concerns that restricting long—term increases in global temperatures to 1.5 degrees may now be impossible. extreme heatwaves in the chinese capital beijing have broken records. it's been a similar story in the united states

where temperatures have been 10 degrees above the seasonal average. india has seen an increase in deaths related to the heat. and here in the uk, it's been the hottestjune on record. environmental experts say the heat is causing unprecedented numbers of fish to die in rivers and canals. for more on this, i spoke to dr rob stoneman, director of landscape recovery at the wildlife trusts. these are really grim statistics, and you have brought up quite a few yourself. you have got canada burning so badly that it is closing down airports in new york, 1000 miles to the south. we have even seen smoke from the canadian fires coming over to the uk. and the middle east is becoming virtually uninhabitable. it is 50 degrees at the moment. these are grim statistics, and it is adding into a really difficult nature crisis. we have polluted rivers, we know that. some of our rivers were dead,

we put a lot of work into getting them into a good state so fish could return in the 80s and 90s, we have gone backwards on that. we are seeing high levels of sewage overflows into our rivers, and high levels of agricultural pollution. and you get these plankton blooms that suck the oxygen out of the rivers, and then overlay that, a climate crisis. very warm temperatures, and very low flows because of drought, and it becomes a very lethal cocktail. we have got really grim pictures of dead fish floating downstream, hundreds of fish, and it is the canary in the coal mine. the rise in temperatures here in the uk is another indicator of the effects of climate change. and i want to focus in now on one industry that is yet to set a goal to cut emissions to net zero — the global shipping industry. the sector is under growing pressure to dramatically curb planet—warming emissions from smokestacks. maritime transport emits as much c02 in a year as germany. this week, under the control of the un's international maritime 0rganisation, delegates from 175 shipping

countries are meeting in london to try and agree on a new timeline for completely decarbonising their industry. some delegates want the entire industry to commit to net zero by 2050 and emissions halved by 2030. campaigners say it would be the climate "deal of the decade" if agreed. let's hear from alice larkin, professor of climate science and energy policy and vice—dean and head of the school of engineering at manchester university. one of the challenges is that unlike many others, other than international aviation, many of the emissions are outside the nationaljurisdiction, so normally for road transport, for example, a country would have its own target and would be able to set challenging policies within the nation. but in international shipping, it is global, it is emissions in international waters, so this creates additional challenges when it comes to countries come together

to agree a deal. and of course countries around the world will have different priorities. some are much poorer than others, some are much richer, but the ships sail around the world and go between these different richer and poorer countries, and so the deal that needs to be struck needs to work for all of those countries. but bearing in mind that generally it will be those poorer countries, and the poorer in those nations that suffer the consequences of climate change. this is why it is important. we have seen a noticeable increase in the uk, but in the usa you have seen some worrying extremes. me in the uk, but in the usa you have seen some worrying extremes. we are riaht now seen some worrying extremes. we are right now living — seen some worrying extremes. we are right now living in — seen some worrying extremes. we are right now living in the _ seen some worrying extremes. we are right now living in the climate - right now living in the climate crisis. we are on the receiving end of the forest fires in canada that would refer to. we have extreme temperature swings in the united states. we are walking right now into what is been predicted for a number of years, and it is

frightening. and so the administration, to its credit, is taking steps in appropriating significant sums of money, hundreds of billions of dollars to tired to invest in clean fuels and live up to some goals are to sit back international climate talks, but there is a rule of talent here, and in the near term, it is about adaptation, but dealing with the reality that we are going to have 95 degrees so much that we are not going to have enough snow in winter, and that we are going to just have to deal with this extreme weather patterns, when heavy tornadoes come through and forest fires in canada dump site and as in our house is. that is a near—term problem that we are facing right now. find that is a near-term problem that we are facing right now.— are facing right now. and that is wh , are facing right now. and that is why. paul _ are facing right now. and that is why, paulwaugh, _ are facing right now. and that is why, paulwaugh, industry- are facing right now. and that is why, paulwaugh, industry hasl are facing right now. and that is | why, paulwaugh, industry has to are facing right now. and that is - why, paul waugh, industry has to set “p why, paul waugh, industry has to set up and take not. ifind it extraordinary that the maritime industry had not yet certain targets to cut emissions, and yet it admits as much a crt in a year as germany.

it is interesting. kevin is your previous— it is interesting. kevin is your previous gas pointed out, this is international waters, and it means that often— international waters, and it means that often companies have got to be with murder, effectively. this is the sort — with murder, effectively. this is the sort of— with murder, effectively. this is the sort of environmental side to the sort of environmental side to the wild — the sort of environmental side to the wild west that we saw recently, and the _ the wild west that we saw recently, and the submersible that went down so tragically over the titanic recehtty~ _ so tragically over the titanic recently. the good news is, at least we are _ recently. the good news is, at least we are finally seeing some serious global— we are finally seeing some serious global leadership from the united states— global leadership from the united states on this. there were's biggest capitalist _ states on this. there were's biggest capitalist country is making a massive _ capitalist country is making a massive political effort, and biden has been — massive political effort, and biden has been very crafty in making sure he is _ has been very crafty in making sure he is a _ has been very crafty in making sure he is a focusing not necessarily on the green — he is a focusing not necessarily on the green angle but on the jobs angle, — the green angle but on the jobs angle, and as a result get imbibed because _ angle, and as a result get imbibed because my bipartisan support. he has approached in the right way, but they have _ has approached in the right way, but they have sown real leadership and shipping _ they have sown real leadership and shipping in — they have sown real leadership and shipping in particular. they have

climate, resort loss of species, loss of biodiversity. and that ultimately impact the kinds of crop fields, the kind of soils were changed as a result. the whole dynamic of the infrastructure of life are changed as a result, and so we will see the same thing here in the united states. we are seeing desertification at risk averse in water sharing agreement is now becoming more acutely important when it comes it's at large urban areas that are essentially deserts in the western united states, and there is just not enough snow pack available to provide water for those cities. yes, this is happening there, and it is a very serious danger under threat. notjust a human life, of course, but to the species that we depend on. course, but to the species that we depend on— us—china relations have been hard to read in recent weeks. things were looking positive when secretary of state antony blinken met president xi jinping last month. the highest—ranking us official

to visit the chinese capital in nearly five years. but then just a day later, presidentjoe biden referred to the chinese leader as a dictator at a fundraising event in california. well, there's another big us trip planned this week, us treasury secretary janet yellen is to visit beijing. the treasury said it would be a visit to discuss the importance for both sides to "responsibly manage the relationship and work together to address global challenges". 0ur asia business reporter monica miller explains. the two sides have a lot to discuss, including us concerns about a new chinese counterespionage law that went into effect on the 1st ofjuly. now the us says american and other foreign companies in the country could face penalties from chinese authorities for regular business activities. now, janet yellen is also expected to meet with china's new economic team, and she is expected to press upon them that washington is still committed to defending human rights and its own national security interests. but she has to straddle

an interesting balance here, because she is also expected to try to find common ground with beijing on things like climate change. also debts distress facing many emerging economies. now, a ban on the sale of us—based micron technology memory chips will probably be one of the issues on the top of her list. this trip comes at a time when... just two weeks after secretary of state antony blinken went to beijing, and he met with president xijinping. and things seemed like they started to kind of ease, that tension. but shortly after that meeting, president biden was overheard at a fundraiser calling president xijinping a dictator, and it's kind of tarnished what good will was done. however, a lot of people are looking at the economic side of their relationship, to get it back on the right track between these two countries. janet yellen, what was the fallout from that dictator comment byjoe

biden about xijinping? from that dictator comment byjoe biden about xi jinping? i from that dictator comment by joe biden about xi jinping?_ biden about xi jinping? i don't think much. _ biden about xi jinping? i don't think much. president - biden about xi jinping? i don't think much. president biden l biden about xi jinping? i don't - think much. president biden speaks his mind, and he spoke the truth. the chinese to accomplish, the publicly stated so commanded past. but webber gone right now, but i think it's encouraging, is that kramatorsk —— that janet yellen is working through the door under guardrails in this relationship. she has a crucialjob on economic policy and national security. the treasury department as a primary announcement for enacting sanctions on terrorist organisations, and state sponsors of terrorism, on russia and instance of the war. there is a lot on her plate and a lot of important discussions to have with the chinese leadership. it's a really good signal that she is the first one to go through that door that secretary blink and think the president biden from, frankly,

he has known xijinping the president biden from, frankly, he has known xi jinping for decades, and a lot of posturing there probably, but not much followed, probably. {lit probably, but not much followed, robabl . , ., probably. of course, when the china and us aet probably. of course, when the china and us get together, _ probably. of course, when the china and us get together, everybody - probably. of course, when the china| and us get together, everybody else wants to be involved too. what more countries in europe and the uk in particular be hoping that the us and china can achieve? fair particular be hoping that the us and china can achieve?— china can achieve? fair play to joe biden for actually _ china can achieve? fair play to joe biden for actually speaking - china can achieve? fair play to joe biden for actually speaking the - biden for actually speaking the truth. i biden for actually speaking the truth. ., �* ., , truth. i mean, i'm not sure the chinese will _ truth. i mean, i'm not sure the chinese will be _ truth. i mean, i'm not sure the chinese will be upset - truth. i mean, i'm not sure the chinese will be upset becausel truth. i mean, i'm not sure the - chinese will be upset because that is exactly — chinese will be upset because that is exactly what they are, a dictatorship. it is not as if they are directly elected by the people. but in _ are directly elected by the people. but in terms of europe, you have already— but in terms of europe, you have already seen an attempt to actually work in _ already seen an attempt to actually work in tandem with the years. ursula — work in tandem with the years. ursula von— work in tandem with the years. ursula von der leyen eu last week talked _ ursula von der leyen eu last week talked about changing the language from decoupling with china to re—scratch my de—risking with china, a significant — re—scratch my de—risking with china, a significant change in the language. not cutting them off but reassessing the relationship and making — reassessing the relationship and

you're live with bbc news. now it's time for the panel. i'm waiting for a string, but it is not going to happen because i have spoken over it. now it is time for the panel. this is an opportunity for our to serve a plan is to say

that things are totally undermined. it is basically some time for themselves to thank them for answering all my inane questions for the past. let's start with joel rubin. of course, it's a special day in america tomorrow, and you have some thoughts on that.— in america tomorrow, and you have some thoughts on that. happy 4th of july tomorrow. _ some thoughts on that. happy 4th of july tomorrow, independence - some thoughts on that. happy 4th of july tomorrow, independence day. i some thoughts on that. happy 4th of july tomorrow, independence day. ll july tomorrow, independence day. i am wearing my red tide for come in celebration. this is not one to celebrate, and i think a lot of americans are very sad and concerned about the state of our democracy. typically, we have an expanding set of rights in this country, but our supreme court has taken away americans' rights over the past year an unprecedented pace. so the decision to prevent women from having the right to control decisions about their own personal health, their own bodies. resort over the past week were decisions or chilling the ability of ethnic minorities and people of colour to get into universities, concerning

the rights of lgbtq plus a people, curtailing of the rights of economic freedom for those who go to college and student loan forgiveness. just on and on, and this is deeply concerning, because these are decisions that were made by a white male, christian male dominated court that was installed by donald trump, who did not win a majority of votes, and facilitated by mitch mcconnell, who run the senate at a time when his colleagues as a majority in the senate still only represented 45% of all americans. senate still only represented 45% of allamericans. so, a minority senate still only represented 45% of all americans. so, a minority court led by minority representation president, now we are seeing the result and never were cinders. i’m result and never were cinders. i'm auoin to result and never were cinders. i'm going to have to interrupt the cuts we have got to give all his chances because. ~ , ., , ., because. mine is a bit more light-hearted. _ because. mine is a bit more light-hearted. i— because. mine is a bit more light-hearted. i mean, - because. mine is a bit more light-hearted. i mean, thel because. mine is a bit more - light-hearted. i mean, the thing that caught _ light-hearted. i mean, the thing that caught my _ light-hearted. i mean, the thing that caught my eye _ light-hearted. i mean, the thing that caught my eye today - light-hearted. i mean, the thing that caught my eye today was i light-hearted. i mean, the thing i that caught my eye today was thus light-hearted. i mean, the thing - that caught my eye today was thus a -iant that caught my eye today was thus a giant dinosaur struck gold at the

much forjoining us on the context, and thank you for watching. hello from the bbc sport centre. to the opening day of the wimbledon tennis championships, on a mixed day for the british players in action. more on that to come — but first to perhaps the shock of the first round, with the women's 7th seed coco gauff crashing out. gauff was beaten in three sets by fellow american sofia kenin, her earliest exit at the tournament. kenin, the 2020 australian open champion, won 6—4, 4—6, 6—2 on court 1. well, gauff famously beat venus williams in the first round, when she was just 15. williams had to fight back from injury today, but in the end lost out to elina svitolina. the ukrainian winning in straight sets 6—4, 6—3. it was a record 24th appearance at the championships for williams, who was sporting strapping on her right knee before

the match from injury earlier in the grass court season. top seed iga swiatek set her intentions with a win over zhu lin. swiatek dominated from the outset — winning 6—1, 6—3, as she looks to go beyond the fourth round for the first time at wimbledon. and novak djokovic began his men's title defence with a win over pedro cachin. he won in straight sets, the third on a tie break, in a match delayed for over on hour by rain on centre court. djokovic is aiming to secure his eighth wimbledon title, matching roger federer�*s record for a male player. so a mixed day for the british players. an exciting encounter for liam broady in the second round. after getting the better of constant lestienne, fourth seed casper ruud awaits. jan choinski beat dusan lajovic. but in the women's side... jodie burrage sealed her passage through — but there were defeats for katie swan and harriet dart — as jim lumsden reports. dart was the first print out of bed, and 11 a appointment. the british

numberfour made a and 11 a appointment. the british number four made a dreadful start, and was a 3—0 down in a few minutes. after a slow starter, she broke up, recovered and brought back to us. the first eventually boil down to a tie—break, and the british pair took it 7-4. but tie—break, and the british pair took it 7—4. but a very different dart emerged from that next set, swiftly captured by the world number 96, 6-0. the captured by the world number 96, 6—0. the deciding set was more of a contest but not one she could constrain. she lost 6—4. then came the rain. covers on, covers before jodie burrage took on caty mcnally of the united states. borage is shot out of the blocks and soon steered a double break of serve. the world number 67 appeared troubled by a leg problem, as b rrage trust through.

although mcnally improved in the second set, burrage met our blow for blow and won it 6—4. i’m second set, burrage met our blow for blow and won it 6-4.— blow and won it 6-4. i'm shaking like ou blow and won it 6-4. i'm shaking like you can't _ blow and won it 6-4. i'm shaking like you can't believe. _ blow and won it 6-4. i'm shaking like you can't believe. that - blow and won it 6-4. i'm shaking like you can't believe. that one l like you can't believe. that one meant a lot! the's it hasn't been easy, you know, three ankle surgeries, fractured knee, stretch fracture this, i can keep going and keep going. it fracture this, i can keep going and keep going-— fracture this, i can keep going and kee auoin. , , , , keep going. it has been my biggest battle but i have _ keep going. it has been my biggest battle but i have worked _ keep going. it has been my biggest battle but i have worked really - keep going. it has been my biggestj battle but i have worked really hard physically— battle but i have worked really hard physically in the last year and i feel in— physically in the last year and i feel in a — physically in the last year and i feel in a really good place, and i'm 'ust feel in a really good place, and i'm just waiting — feel in a really good place, and i'm just waiting for my run to happen, and hopefully this is the start of it. , ., ,., , and hopefully this is the start of it. , ., , , it. her first grandson win, she is into the second _ it. her first grandson win, she is into the second round _ it. her first grandson win, she is into the second round of - it. her first grandson win, she is - into the second round of wimbledon. adam yates is still in the leader's yellowjersey after stage three of the tour de france, while mark cavendish is still one victory from breaking the all—time record for stage wins. that's after belgium's yasper phillipsen won the first sprint finish of the race so far.

he had the perfect lead—out, and although cavendish reached the highest speed of anyone in the sprint — over 45mph — he'd started from further back, and finished sixth. there's another sprint finish expected tomorrow. some transfer news now, and the italy midfielder sandro tonali has moved to newcastle united in the premier league from ac milan. the 23—year—old is the first summer signing for eddie howe as the side prepare for champions league football this season. tonali joins on a five—year deal for a reported £55 million fee, which makes him the most expensive italian footballer of all time. tottenham have reached a verbal agreement to sign manor solomon. he was on loan at fulham last season from shakhtar donetsk, after exercising a rule allowing ukraine—based players to suspend their contracts, following russia's invasion of the country last year. steven gerrard's return to management will be with saudi arabian club al—ettifaq. the former liverpool captain has been out of work since being sacked by aston villa last october. he'd been previously

reluctant to join the club, but an agreement has now been reached. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. we start off with the news thatjune was the hottest on record and we absolutely annihilated the previous record. normally we see these records broken by a tenth of a degree or so. this year we beat the previous record by nine tenths of a degree celsius. and scientists at the met office tell us that the likelihood of beating the previous record had doubled as a result of the emissions of greenhouse gases in recent decades, and if we carry on like this, junes like the one just gone will come round once every two years by the time we're into the 1950s. now, today's been a very showery kind of day. some heavy deluges, some thunderstorms rumbling away across parts of the midlands, parts of northern england as well. and we've got more of those showers to come overnight as well. now, some lengthy spells of rain push southwards across scotland,

reaching the central belt by dawn. some showers for northern ireland. and we'll start to see an area of rain move back in across parts of south—west england and southern wales as well. 0n into the forecast for tuesday. well, it is going to be an unsettled day as these two weather fronts kind of merge together to give some longer outbreaks of rain, i think, across parts of eastern england. so, expect rain at times. i think this area of rain could end up being a lot more extensive, working across east anglia, southern england and could be very slow to let up as well. further northwards we've got our band of rain sliding southwards across scotland and northern ireland, probably turning a bit more showery in nature. and those temperatures still a little bit disappointing for the time of year, 17 to 19 celsius. but i fear, although we saw some interruptions to play at wimbledon on monday, i suspect we'll have much lengthier interruptions around for tuesday, so the weather could get in the way of play for some time. by wednesday, low pressure still with us but it's weakening

and although there will be some showers around, the majority of those, i think, will be across parts of west scotland and northern ireland. elsewhere, probably a dry morning. there might be a few showers building through the day across england and wales but pretty isolated, i think there will be much bigger gaps between any showers and that means more in the way of dry weather, more sunshine, and that should help boost temperatures into the low 20s. now, towards the end of the week we're going to see a slow—moving weather front across the west bringing heavy rain, might see some flooding issues across parts of northern ireland. this rain band looks really intense. but further eastwards, suddenly winds will start to drag up some much warmer air and so temperatures could hit
