tell us about the place that you are. , , ., , are. it is extremely hot here. it is set to laecome — are. it is extremely hot here. it is set to become the _ are. it is extremely hot here. it is set to become the hottest - are. it is extremely hot here. it is set to become the hottest july - are. it is extremely hot here. it is set to become the hottest july on | set to become the hottestjuly on record in greece. not only that, the weather institute is also saying that this could be the longest prolonged heatwave that greece has seenin prolonged heatwave that greece has seen in its history. in fact temperatures are expected to rise to 45 celsius by sunday. this is particularly concerning to a country that has been battling wildfires for the past few weeks. firefighters and authorities have been warning of the risk of fires so you can see beach—goers trying to find some relief from the heat. we have seen throughout the week that this has affected southern europe, countries like spain and italy have had weather alerts throughout the week. it is actually happening across the northern hemisphere as well, and the united states, especially in the south. they have been experiencing real highs. arizona has had to deal with three weeks of temperatures of

43 celsius, and they have predicted temperatures of up to 46 celsius. that can lead to truly terrifying scenes. in phoenix, arizona, tanks exploded in a propane business near an international airport there. the fire captain simply said that, in these temperatures, with this extreme heat, those tanks essentially become missiles. itruiith essentially become missiles. with all of these _ essentially become missiles. with all of these rising _ essentially become missiles. with all of these rising temperatures, records being broken, how the authorities in greece and beyond trying to cope with the demands placed on health systems and the environment as well? you placed on health systems and the environment as well?— placed on health systems and the environment as well? you are right to highlight — environment as well? you are right to highlight the _ environment as well? you are right to highlight the health _ environment as well? you are right to highlight the health issues, - to highlight the health issues, because it is extremely dangerous. in the past you have often had thousands of deaths from heat stroke in previous years. in greece that hasn't quite happened yet, but we have a 46—year—old who passed away from heat stroke and so there is a

real risk. on health systems themselves across spain, italy and greece, the world health organization has warned that extreme weather like this is going to put a particular burden on them. that is why they are advising people to stay indoors. of course, when you have got heat like this, and beaches like this, it is understandable why you still have people going out to soak up still have people going out to soak up the sun. the health risks are extremely dangerous.— up the sun. the health risks are extremely dangerous. thank you, s-ueakin extremely dangerous. thank you, speaking to _ extremely dangerous. thank you, speaking to us — extremely dangerous. thank you, speaking to us from _ extremely dangerous. thank you, speaking to us from greece. - to romania now — where hungary's prime minister viktor orban has just finished delivering a speech to the hungarian community there. he spelt out his policy priorities for the next 8 years, and evenjoked that he might want to stay in office till 2040. in a wide—ranging address to the annual summer gathering at baile tusnad,

romania, he sharply criticised the european union, spoke about the prospect of a future war between the united states and china, and looked forward to a stronger right—wing in europe after the european parliamentary elections next year. earlier i spoke to our east and central europe correspondent, nick thorpe and he told me why mr orban he didn't pull his punches on several issues. it was a 50 minute long speech and beautiful sunshine. he spoke about the global issues, how the european union, especially the united states, are falling behind china, for example. he spoke a lot about china, very little, interestingly, about ukraine and russia. he depicted this world as this battle between china and the united states, which he says the united states, which he says the united states, which he says the united states is losing. unfortunately, when the leading power in the world, historically loses its place, often, he said, 12 times out of 16 in the past three centuries, i am times out of 16 in the past three centuries, iam not times out of 16 in the past three centuries, i am not sure where he is getting the numbers from, that led to war. he warned of the danger of a future clash between the us and china, and probably, most controversially, he drew describe the european union as an ageing boxer, afraid to go into the ring and fight its corner. than boxer, afraid to go into the ring and fight its corner. an interesting location choice _

and fight its corner. an interesting location choice for _ and fight its corner. an interesting location choice for this _ and fight its corner. an interesting location choice for this speech. - and fight its corner. an interesting l location choice for this speech. why does viktor orban go to romania every year to deliver this kind of speech? is it something to do with the audience that he faces there? above all it is a historical reason. this part of romania, is an area where a majority of hungarian population lives. that part of transylvania, or all of transylvania, or all of transylvania, belonged to hungary until 1920. the peace treaties after the end of the first world war, and so while hungary harbours no use, it has or has been strongly supportive of its national minority, especially where the biggest honours in transylvania. it is really an opportunity for him to speak to his own people back in hungary, to hungarians abroad there, and of course to the world at large, because viktor orban really is a

well—known figure, this is one of his great achievements, that across the world, very few people interested in politics haven't heard of him. this is why he uses the summer university each year to wax lyrical about what is going on in his mind, notjust about everyday issues, but how he sees the world, his philosophy, his view of history. in the uk — major disruption is expected on the railways — as thousands of rail workers walk out in their latest strike over a long—running pay dispute. the strike falls over a busy weekend for travel, as the summer getaway begins. our transport correspondent katy austin has this report. as the school summer holidays get going for millions of people in england and wales, in many places, the trains have come to a halt. today is the latest strike by members of the rmt at 14 train companies, and it's the last day of the current overtime ban by train drivers in the aslef union. the level of disruption will vary around the country. many services will end for the day

much earlier than usual. another strike is expected next saturday. the rmt at the moment seems to be concentrating its strikes more at weekends, so the aim is to affect leisure travel. so today's strike on a saturday and next weekend's again will have a big impact on people who are thinking of taking days out, and there'll be a real skeleton service operating. the drivers�* union, aslef, its work to rule, where drivers are refusing to work overtime, is having a longer impact. it's seeing a few services withdrawn by a lot of companies every day. these strikes are happening after progress in the national dispute stalled in april. the rmt says plans to close hundreds of ticket offices have now added to its members' anger. separately, strikes on the london underground, which were scheduled to begin tomorrow, have been called off. the summer getaway is traditionally a busy time on the roads, and the train strike could add to congestion as more people take to their cars instead. the travel association abta thinks over two million british holiday—makers will head

overseas this weekend. the port of dover will be under scrutiny again, after long delays before easter and last summer. the port says it's made changes to ease the queues, but there could still be waits of up to two and a half hours at border controls. after last year's disruption, because of staff shortages, airports and airlines insist they've done as much as possible to ensure things go smoothly, although worries persist about congested european airspace and air traffic control issues. the coming days will be a test at what's expected to be their busiest time since before the pandemic. katy austin, bbc news. now it's time for a look at today's sport. let's start at the women's world cup — where the united states have made a winning start as they look to win

the title for a record third consecutive time. a comfortable 3—0 victory for the holders over debutants vietnam in new zealand. not the cricket score that some were expecting. sophia smith, one of 14 players in the squad appearing at their first world cup, scored twice in front of a crowd of over 40,000 in auckland. i think it was a good starting point for our team in this tournament. i also know that we have a lot, you know, more that we can give, a lot more to do, little things to work on. so i think it's a good place to start and personally it was good to just get a world cup game under my belt, kind of see how it felt and know what to expect. but, yeah, honestly, itjust makes me more excited for the next game. the 2011 winners japan are off to a winning start too — after thrashing zambia 5—0 in hamilton. the african side playing at their first world cup. hinata miyazawa scoring two of the goals. japan move top of their group, above spain on goal difference.

meanwhile the european champions england are currently playing world cup first timers haiti in brisbane. the lionesses lead 1—0 at half time thanks to georgia stanway�*s penalty. america's brian harman has a five shot lead going into the third round of the open golf at hoylake on ten under. he's chasing his first major, as is england's tommy fleetwood who's his nearest challenger. playing his home open on merseyside, fleetwood's on five under. rain is expected to hamper play, ben croucher is there for us and spoke to me a short while ago: you can see a couple of the green stuff this morning. they have no concerns about the weather. they say this course is going to play absolutely fine. but it is going to do is make the rough very terrific. we have seen a couple of players hacking out this morning. the greens are going to be tricky, trying to get the pace of those puts write. for the likes of rory michael rai

and tommy fleetwood, this could play into their hands as a couple of the longer hitters in the game. brian hammond has never won a major before, he has had a good season though, and he has had to sleep on this lead. it is a joint lead in many ways. the pressure is very much on his shoulders. it is many ways. the pressure is very much on his shoulders.— on his shoulders. it is going to be fascinating _ on his shoulders. it is going to be fascinating to _ on his shoulders. it is going to be fascinating to see _ on his shoulders. it is going to be fascinating to see how _ on his shoulders. it is going to be fascinating to see how he - on his shoulders. it is going to be fascinating to see how he copes l on his shoulders. it is going to be i fascinating to see how he copes with the pressure of a major championship. 132 shots it has taken him to— championship.132 shots it has taken him to get— championship. 132 shots it has taken him to get through his first two rounds — him to get through his first two rounds. what a story for him on friday — rounds. what a story for him on friday a— rounds. what a story for him on friday. a bogey free round of 65, including — friday. a bogey free round of 65, including an eagle at the 18th. here tommy— including an eagle at the 18th. here tommy fleetwood go out together at 3:30pm _ tommy fleetwood go out together at 3:30pm. fleetwood will be looking for moments of magic like the one he had on _ for moments of magic like the one he had on the _ for moments of magic like the one he had on the tenth, getting that local crowd _ had on the tenth, getting that local crowd right behind him. rory michael roy is— crowd right behind him. rory michael roy is not— crowd right behind him. rory michael roy is not too far off but you suspect _ roy is not too far off but you suspect the soggy spectators out on

the course _ suspect the soggy spectators out on the course are going to need plenty of umbrellas. the weather could have a huge impact on the outcome of the fourth ashes test at old trafford too. australia are set to resume their second innings on 113 for 4 — still trailing by 162 and there are still two days left but rain is forecast across saturday and sunday. here's the scene at the moment. there's no prospect of any action at the moment. australia, remember, have a 2—1 lead in the series so a draw in manchester would be enough for them to retain the ashes. england need to take six wickets — if the rain allows — that would level the series at 2—2 with the final test at the oval next week. england fans will be keeping their fingers _ england fans will be keeping their fingers crossed. we'll more for you later~ _

more than £55 million was saved last year by bank and building societies refusing to carry out transactions they suspected to be fraud. figures seen by radio 4's money box programme show staff used what's called the banking protocol — which allows them to stop suspicious transfers — more than 11,000 times. live now to my colleague with the money box programme, dan whitworth. thanks forjoining us. i wonder if you can take us through what makes banks and building societies suspicious? what instances would they want to use this protocol? there are two ways banks can be suspicious about these kinds of transaction. 11 is software and computer it programmes. they will stop suspicious interactions. the banking protocol use human interactions. the banking protocol is an initiative that started in 2016 and and it allows staff and employees, both in branch and in

call centres, to block or freeze transactions if they suspect them of being suspicious. if they suspect them of being fraudulent and i have some numbers for you, and essentially, £55 million saved in this way last year, 11,500 times that the banking protocol was invoked, and that led to nearly 200 arrests. real momentum behind this now it has been in place for a few years. there is one lady who i've been speaking to who knows a lot about the banking protocol. she is called sophie williams. she works at a building society, the nationwide in bromsgrove, in the west midlands in bromsgrove, in the west midlands in the uk. she had to use this banking protocol late last year when a regular customer of hers came into branch with someone supposedly who was a family friend. she came in and he was talking for her. she wasn't talking for herself which was unusual, because i have seen her on a regular basis

and we have chats. this guy was speaking for her. he knew a lot about her finances that, as a family friend, i didn't feel was something he needed to know, or should have known. that was a really big red flag for me. the more i was chatting, the more it was becoming apparent that this was a fraudster. he was grooming her and he preyed upon her vulnerability. is this kind of activity on the rise because my car banks having to use this protocol more often? yes. because my car banks having to use this protocol more often?— this protocol more often? yes, is the short answer. _ this protocol more often? yes, is the short answer. a _ this protocol more often? yes, is the short answer. a rise - this protocol more often? yes, is the short answer. a rise of - this protocol more often? yes, is the short answer. a rise of 1596 i the short answer. a rise of 15% year—on—year from 2021 to 2022. fraud in the uk, and of course around the world, is a huge problem. in the uk £1.2 billion was stolen just last year. this is a rare good news story about fraud being stopped but there is still a long way to go.

down, thank you very much. oscar—winning actorjamie foxx says he is on his way back and returning to work after being hospitalised earlier this year. in april, his daughter corrine foxx said he had experienced a "medical complication" but the family did not share details about his health issue. in an instagram post on saturday, foxx thanked his family for keeping details about his health "airtight". here's our reporter chi chi izundu for more on this. this time we are really hearing from jamie foxx, since his hospitalisation back in april. we still don't know the details, and he wasn't explicit with the details in his instagram post, but he did thank his family and friends. he said it was his daughter and sister who saved his life, and that he is coming back to work. i went to hell and back and my road to recovery has had

some potholes as well, but i am coming back and i am able to work so i want to thank the people that let me work and i just want to say that i love everybody and all the love that i got, and i know they talk about people crying on videos, but i am not going to do a take 2, it is what it is. now you can see that jamie foxx was pretty emotional in that video on instagram. he didn't go into detail on what exactly is wrong with him, but he did state that his road to recovery had been littered with potholes and he was still trying to get better. he clarified that he is not blind, he is not paralysed, but he is still trying to get better. what we do know is that back in april, he was filming a movie for netflix, and then there were a raft of prayers and messages from other celebrities and his daughter, asking for prayers because he had medical complications. we still don't know what those

medical complications are, and at the end of that video, jamie actually states that he didn't want people to remember him with lots of tubes coming out of him whilst he didn't know whether he would make it. he specifically said that he wanted to be remembered for the jokes he cracks, the movies he makes, and the songs he sings. he iterated that he is on his way back. here in the uk... starting on monday, children aged ten and eleven will be able to use passport e—gates at the uk border.

currently, twelve is the minimum age for using e—gates. the change follows successful trials at airports in london. a rare somali wild donkey has been born in a zoo in chile. the species is highly endangered with less than two hundred left in the wild in its native east africa. they have striped legs similar to those of a zebra. the foal, which has been named julieta, is the fourth to be born in the south american country. stay with us here on bbc news.

hello, there. if you've got outdoor plans this weekend, you might have to have a quick rethink because the weather is certainly not playing ball. there's going to be quite a lot of rain around, particularly today and it'll be quite windy and feeling quite cool as well for the latter stages ofjuly, all because of this area of low pressure that's drifting in off the atlantic and sandwiched in between these two weather fronts. quite a lot of cloud, outbreaks of rain and drizzle at times today. so this has been the story so far, a cloudy start for many bar the far north and east of scotland. one pulse of rain easing away, another heavier pulse starting to push into the northwest. and thatjust sets up the rest of the day today. so there will be outbreaks of rain from time to time. and even if the rain eases, it will be quite cloudy, drizzly, damp, and blustery winds in the south west, gusts in excess of 30 to 40mph here. quite unusual, really, for this time of year, the best of the drier weather across the far north east

of scotland. here, you might continue to see glimpses of sunshine, not particularly warm, though, 15 or 16 degrees. generally, those temperatures are a little below par for the end ofjuly. so no surprises to see that there's going to be a lot of rain around for both the cricket and the golf. we may not see any significant play for the fourth test of the ashes and the winds will be quite a feature for the golf, making it feel pretty interesting, i suspect, into the evening. now, that area of low pressure continues to push its way steadily east. the winds will remain a feature down to the south. quite a lot of cloud around generally if it's not wet, but the heaviest of the rain northern england, north wales and northern ireland. so that's going to be there first thing in the morning. another wet start. hopefully the rain will gradually ease through the latter stages of the morning and into the early afternoon, allowing for some brighter weather to develop. and with a little more in the way of sunshine expected across central and southern areas, we should see temperatures a few degrees higher. 23 degrees is 73 fahrenheit.

if you've got outdoor plans with the kids into the early half of next week, it shouldn't be too bad. but then we're back into a repeat performance with another low moving in on wednesday, so there's no significant sign of any settled summer sunshine or heat to look out for showers. showers, longer spells of rain with some dry interludes from time to time.

this is bbc news. the headlines: england's lionesses get off to flying start as they are currently 1—0 up at half time in their opening world cup match at haiti. the european champions are hoping to replicate their success
