taking place in bristol. australia lead the series 6—4, meaning england can't afford to lose any of their remaining matches. ben croucher is watching. some early wickets for england but also some dropped catches. a good little battle, this one. australia won the toss and chose to bat. the runs have been flowing but the wickets have been falling at regular intervals as well. kate cross got her revenge in that very first over, trapping the australia captain lbw, it was not given out on the pitch, england overturned it on review. they have been scoring at a rate of knots but england have always pegged them back. we saw a fantastic one—handed catch from sophie ecclestone, but they have been four dropped catches as well. beth mooney has been the glue sticking this australian innings together. she is currently unbeaten on 56. we have got fewer than ten

overs to go. australia over 200 46 the moment. very finely poised this one as we go into it. we know that england need a win to keep their ashes alive but they don't have a great record when it comes to odi against australia, do they? nobody has a really good record against australia when it comes to one—day internationals. they have won their last 15 in this format. they are the world champions. they are a formidable side. their attitude coming into this one was, we know how good we are, it is up to you to come out to be desk. i think we have to go back to 2016 for the last time england beat australia in a home one day game. that was in bristol. there could be some scoreboard pressure a little bit later on. 202—6 with nine overs to

go. let's bring you back up to speed with events at wimbledon now, and the repeat of last year's women's final. elena rybakina took the first set against ons jabeur, but the tunisian won the second set, and she has taken the decider 6—1. aryna sabalenka is into the semifinal after beating american madison keys in straight sets. and in the men's quarterfinals, daniil medvedev is taking on surprise package chris eubanks on court one. later, carlos alcaraz will face his old double partner on centre court. double olympic 800 metre champion cast enea has said justice has spoken after the european court of human rights ruled in herfavour on tuesday. she said in a statement she was elated at the outcome of the ruling and that she will always stand up for discrimination of any

kind in sport. she says her rights were violated and her career was impacted by the initial rulings, calling the whole thing damaging for mentally, emotionally, physically and financially. she continues by saying justice has spoken but this is only the beginning and hopes that world athletics ensure they respect the dignity and human rights of the athletes deal with. rugby league, and new south wales denied series winners queensland a state of origin queen sweep with victory in the third and final game of the 2023 instalment. they had an 18-10 of the 2023 instalment. they had an 18—10 half—time lead. the second half was a lot tighter. queensland still lift the trophy but a home win avoids a whitewash. and that is all the latest sport for now. let's return to our top story, g7

members have ratified a wide—ranging security pact with ukraine at the nato summit in lithuania, but they stopped short of providing an exact timeframe. let's go live to kyiv and speak to the advisor to ukraine's defence minister. welcome to the programme. clearfrustration defence minister. welcome to the programme. clear frustration from president zelensky yesterday, today you have these security guarantees. there is that in any way ease the frustration you are feeling? goad frustration you are feeling? good evenina. frustration you are feeling? good evening- as _ frustration you are feeling? good evening. as our _ frustration you are feeling? good evening. as our president - frustration you are feeling? (13cm evening. as our president said, this was a very good and productive summit for ukraine. it would be ideal if ukraine received a very clear invitation tojoin ideal if ukraine received a very clear invitation to join nato alliance with a clearly defined timeframe. nevertheless, as you have seen, these were two very intense days with lots of bilateral meetings and now with the announcement of the security guarantees backed by g7, which means that our allies stand

with ukraine, ukraine will be in nato, and for us the question of ukraine's membership in nato is not a question of if, it is when. do ukraine's membership in nato is not a question of if, it is when.— a question of if, it is when. do you understand — a question of if, it is when. do you understand that _ a question of if, it is when. do you understand that it _ a question of if, it is when. do you understand that it is _ a question of if, it is when. do you understand that it is impossible i understand that it is impossible now? do you understand the reasoning behind all that? we now? do you understand the reasoning behind all that?— behind all that? we understand very well that there _ behind all that? we understand very well that there is _ behind all that? we understand very well that there is a _ behind all that? we understand very well that there is a north _ behind all that? we understand very well that there is a north atlantic i well that there is a north atlantic treaty which is to police that to be able to apply for membership, you must be at peace. we understand that before this war is over, before we win this war, the question of full—fledged membership of nato is not going to be decided, but nevertheless, we are doing everything we have to do to ensure that we meet all the requirements, such as the interoperability of the ukrainian armed forces with the nato forces. we are already de facto protecting nato's eastern flank, we are transforming our society in a way that will correspond to the

political aspect of the nato alliance, so we understand it is not going to happen before the war ends, but we aren't receiving clear signs that ukraine will be a member of nato. it that ukraine will be a member of nato. , _, , ., that ukraine will be a member of nato. , ,., , , that ukraine will be a member of nato. , , , ., ., nato. it becomes one step, not two ste s. nato. it becomes one step, not two stes. in nato. it becomes one step, not two steps- in terms — nato. it becomes one step, not two steps. in terms of _ nato. it becomes one step, not two steps. in terms of the _ nato. it becomes one step, not two steps. in terms of the security - steps. in terms of the security guarantees ratified from individual countries, what in that package is likely to make any sort of short—term difference? is there anything that is likely to impact short—term? it anything that is likely to impact short-term?— short-term? it is a very comprehensive - short-term? it is a very comprehensive package short-term? it is a very - comprehensive package that will ensure that ukraine can defend itself on the battlefield, that ukraine can continue our liberation campaign. the aim of which is to drive the enemy out from our territory and restore our territorial integrity. it will also ensure the training of the service men, that ukraine receives capabilities in order to build up its defence industry base, so it is a comprehensive package that will have to be followed by bilateral

agreements with each one of the signatories, and hopefully it will result in creating guarantees, but i would like to stress that this security guarantee are not instead of ukraine's membership of nato, they are on the way to ukraine's full membership of nato. i will come back to that, — full membership of nato. i will come back to that, but _ full membership of nato. i will come back to that, but i _ full membership of nato. i will come back to that, but i want _ full membership of nato. i will come back to that, but i want to _ full membership of nato. i will come back to that, but i want to ask - full membership of nato. i will come back to that, but i want to ask you i back to that, but i want to ask you about the comments from the defence secretary, ben wallace, who said ukraine could be a little bit more grateful for the help they have received from the international community at different stages, referencing the domestic political pressures. your reaction to what he said? we pressures. your reaction to what he said? ~ ~' ., pressures. your reaction to what he said? ~ ~ ., ., �* pressures. your reaction to what he said? ~ ., ., �* , pressures. your reaction to what he said? ~ ., ., �* said? we know that ben wallace is a ureat said? we know that ben wallace is a great sunporter _ said? we know that ben wallace is a great sunporter of — said? we know that ben wallace is a great supporter of ukraine, - said? we know that ben wallace is a great supporter of ukraine, the - said? we know that ben wallace is a great supporter of ukraine, the uk l great supporter of ukraine, the uk has been a great supporter of ukraine, and i don't think there was a day during the last 503 days during which our top military and political leadership has not expressed our gratitude, because we are sincerely grateful to our allies for providing us with the vital

military support, sanction support, financial support, so sometimes we may come across as a little impatient, but this is only because of one reason, because every day cost the lives of our people. we are still the target of russia's missile terror, enemy forces are still on our land, so sometimes forgive us for being a little impatient, but that does not mean we are eternally grateful to our partners, and we thank our partners for standing with us. ., ., �* , thank our partners for standing with us. you don't seem particularly put out or insulted _ us. you don't seem particularly put out or insulted by _ us. you don't seem particularly put out or insulted by that. _ us. you don't seem particularly put out or insulted by that. in - us. you don't seem particularly put out or insulted by that. in terms i us. you don't seem particularly put out or insulted by that. in terms of| out or insulted by that. in terms of the pace of the counter offensive, has anything to be decided over the last very busy two days that can in any way speed that up and help with the counteroffensive currently under way? {131 the counteroffensive currently under wa ? . ., , the counteroffensive currently under wa ? , ., the counteroffensive currently under wa? , ., way? of course, the need of ukraine in ammunition. _ way? of course, the need of ukraine in ammunition, the _ way? of course, the need of ukraine in ammunition, the need _ way? of course, the need of ukraine in ammunition, the need of - way? of course, the need of ukraine in ammunition, the need of ukrainel in ammunition, the need of ukraine in ammunition, the need of ukraine in long—range missiles, and as we speak right now, there is a meeting going on between president zelensky

uk banks are strong enough to withstand a fresh economic crisis. that's according to the bank of england. in a "stress test" of the financial system, the bank said the uk's eight largest lenders could survive a worst case scenario. that would involve plunging house prices and soaring inflation. the bank also said the country has "so far been resilient" to rising interest rates. the prime minister rishi sunak says he is yet to make a "final decision" on whether to accept recommended pay rises for public sector workers. official pay review bodies are recommending rises of between 6% and 6.5% for teachers, junior doctors and police. the prime minister and chancellor are expected to meet in the coming days to decide whether to accept the rises. an ambulance service has apologised to families following a review into claims it covered up errors by paramedics and withheld evidence. the chief executive of the north east ambulance service issued an apology "for any distress caused to the families" by past mistakes. an independent review found inaccuracies and poor behaviour

you are life with bbc news. let's turn to another really important story. the beginning ofjuly was the hottest week on record on this planet. a series of extreme weather events have intensified concerns about runaway climate change and nowhere illustrates that better than north america. the southern and western united states is struggling under what's called a heat dome. texas has suffered a record number of 100 degrees days but further north in vermont, flooding has caused president biden to declare a state of emergency. in southern europe, yet another heat wave is building in italy. temperatures have risen about 40 celsius and could get higher still in greece and spain. in india, one of the most climate vulnerable regions, deaths are reported to have spiked as a result of high temperatures. and it is sweltering in china. beijing has issued its highest level of heat alert for northern parts of the

country. it is a worrying pattern of extreme weather caused in part by climate change. let's show you a little more on two of what we have just been looking at. we start in vermont, where two months of rain were dumped on that state in a matter of days. i want to show you where we are right now. we are about 20 minutes south of the state capitol and the damages everywhere. down main street, there is extensive flooding. here, the road has completely crumbled. this is a car dealership behind me and take a look where you can see the concrete buckled, and it is holding onto that cheap from falling into the river below. scenes like this are playing out state wide. it happened so fast and they have been so many comparisons between the storm and her again i needin between the storm and her again i need in 2011 which completely devastated vermont and so many residents have told us this was far worse. i am in the solan district of the himalayan state of himachal pradesh,

which is the worst affected state in the region, because of heavy rains since the last weekend. authorities say that in himachal pradesh, 31 people were killed until tuesday. nearly 1,300 roads were closed due to landslides and flash floods, and 40 major bridges damaged in the last three days. a lot of tourists flock to this state, but for many, their holiday has turned into a nightmare. many people have been stranded because of landslides and flash floods. officials claim that as many as 2000 tourists stranded in kullu district owing to incessant rain have been safely evacuated. several parts of the state, and also that of the neighbouring states of punjab and haryana, continue to be flooded. since tuesday, weather has been largely clear in most parts, bringing relief to the residents. the authorities have stepped up relief measures in the region. that is just a glimpse of what is happening. let's go live to a senior lecturer in climate science at imperial university and author of

angry weather. thank you so much for being on the programme. so notjust angry weather but deadly weather. is this happening faster than expected or what you anticipated? the weather is not changing _ or what you anticipated? the weather is not changing faster— or what you anticipated? the weather is not changing faster than _ is not changing faster than expected. what is changing very, very fast and is continuing to change very fast is emissions. we are continuing to burn fossil fuels and emissions are continuing to rise. as long as we are burning fossil fuels, rise. as long as we are burning fossilfuels, we rise. as long as we are burning fossil fuels, we will see rise. as long as we are burning fossilfuels, we will see more rise. as long as we are burning fossil fuels, we will see more and more of these extreme events. that is not unexpected, it is exactly as expected. we is not unexpected, it is exactly as exected. ~ ., , , , expected. we have seen floods but we are principally — expected. we have seen floods but we are principally concerned _ expected. we have seen floods but we are principally concerned and - are principally concerned and talking about heat. how hot is it likely to get and are we likely to see these records keep tumbling? yes. this year, we have, on top of the increase in global temperatures, because of the burning of fossil

feels, we have some natural phenomena that also lead to high temperatures. their most famous of them is el nino, which leads to higher ocean temperatures. we have seen that particularly around the uk, but that means that we have climate change plus naturally... we will see more heat records being broken than if there was no el nino event but as long as we are burning fossil fuels, event but as long as we are burning fossilfuels, we event but as long as we are burning fossil fuels, we will see eight records being broken again and again and again. bud records being broken again and again and aaain. �* , records being broken again and again and aain. �* , ., , records being broken again and again andauain. �* , ., , and again. and it is not 'ust about t in: to and again. and it is not 'ust about trying to slow h and again. and it is not 'ust about trying to slow climate i and again. and it is notjust about trying to slow climate change, i and again. and it is notjust about| trying to slow climate change, that is pretty obvious and we know about the very well—publicised route maps to actually doing that, but i suppose it is also now having to address the here and now for governments to come up with plans to protect their own public. we know that greece are having to formulate

emergency plans. that is going to have to change.— emergency plans. that is going to have to change. both has to change. a lot of the — have to change. both has to change. a lot of the plans _ have to change. both has to change. a lot of the plans to _ have to change. both has to change. a lot of the plans to reduce - a lot of the plans to reduce emissions are actually also measures that will help us to adapt to extreme heat, so we need to insulate homes to lower emissions, but that also helps people not to die in a heatwave, if your homes are better insulated and you are kept cool. green cities and cities without cars and too much asphalt will be cities with lower emissions overall, but also cities that can deal with heat better because they won't get as hot. but also they can withstand flooding much better if the ground is able to take up the water and it's not going into houses. a, is able to take up the water and it's not going into houses. a twin final question. _ it's not going into houses. a twin final question. is _ it's not going into houses. a twin final question. is there _ it's not going into houses. a twin final question. is there any i it's not going into houses. a twin final question. is there any part i it's not going into houses. a twin l final question. is there any part of the world that is not seeing the

impact you are talking about? and in terms of climate change, we have at the moment the el nino effect as you are talking about kicking in and making everything worse, will there be periods when that is not happening, it is not going to be as extreme as this? it happening, it is not going to be as extreme as this?— happening, it is not going to be as extreme as this? it will not always be as extreme _ extreme as this? it will not always be as extreme as _ extreme as this? it will not always be as extreme as this _ extreme as this? it will not always be as extreme as this but - extreme as this? it will not always be as extreme as this but it - extreme as this? it will not always be as extreme as this but it will. be as extreme as this but it will never be as it used to be ten years ago. and as long as we keep burning fossil fuels, ago. and as long as we keep burning fossilfuels, it will ago. and as long as we keep burning fossil fuels, it willjust get worse. there is no place that is safe but of course they really mean impact of climate change is that those who have at least done for the problem are the ones that suffer most, so people poor in every country in the world, the most vulnerable, living in poor housing, are the ones who pay often with their lives for all the prophets of fossil fuel companies.— their lives for all the prophets of fossil fuel companies. thank you so much for being _ fossil fuel companies. thank you so much for being on _ fossil fuel companies. thank you so much for being on the _ fossil fuel companies. thank you so

been drawn up from north—west africa. these are the temperature anomalies. the reds are where it is hotter than normal. it is mainly southern europe where we are getting temperatures into the mid 20s. in the uk, we are going to stay on the cooler side of things. more showers this evening. they tend to become fewer overnight tonight. the winds tend to ease a bit as well. it is quite breezy out there at the moment. and some clearer skies. ten or 11 degrees by the time we get a thursday morning. some sunshine around in the morning but we will see the cloud increasing. so much i was breaking out in that westerly breeze. the thunderstorms are more likely in scotland, the shower is not so heavy elsewhere and they will drift through the midlands into eastern england during the afternoon. the temperature is not changing too much. between 18 and 22 degrees. some showers around. maybe

not as many and it might feel a little bit warmer tomorrow because it will not be as breezy, but as we head into friday, this area of low pressure heading our way. in the south—west, heavy rain. i bit of rain moving into scotland ahead of that. the strongest winds are going to be across the south—west of england and into parts of wales. maybe not far away from 50 mph around the coast and heavy rain around the coast and heavy rain around the coast and heavy rain around the malls of the south—west and over the hills of wales. those temperatures are going to be disappointing for this time of year. that low pressure is going to hang around into the weekend. it is not a typical summer weather pattern. low pressure will run northwards across the uk. a lot of isobars on the chart. it is going to be windy for this time of year. and the rain could be heavy. it does turn drier in the south later but it does stay

on the cool side.
