translation: the action of the (nsf is motivated by the sole desire - to preserve our beloved homeland in the face of the continuous deterioration of the security situation of our country. the fallen authorities have failed to give a real solution to the crisis and have provided poor economic and social governance. our bbc correspondent chris ewokor has been following the developments from niger's neighbouring country of nigeria. the coup has been condemned by both the regional and international community, although it's gotten the support and backing of the wider military hierarchy in niger, as well as some of the citizens who had come out to demonstrate and show their support for the action of the soldiers. niger, a landlocked country rich in uranium but one of the poorest in the world, has joined
11:02 pm
three other countries that have been under military rule to become the first country that have been under military rule to become the fourth country in the west african subregion under military rule. the regional bloc will now be working to see how it can negotiate a quick transition to military rule. at the moment we are about of president bazoum is not known. he is believed to be detained by the military in the presidential palace and there are indications he would be forced to sign a resignation that we effectively hand over the government of niger to the hands of the military. niger is used as a hub in the fight againstjihadist extremism, but there are now indications that the coup risk affecting the fight against jihadist extremism and collaboration of western allies, especially france and us, which have their bases in the country.

chris ewokor, bbc news, abuja, nigeria. extreme heat that began in the us south—west is now being felt across the central and eastern regions, putting some 200 million americans under extreme weather warnings. we're seeing record breaking temperatures in several major cities including in phoenix, arizona, which saw its 28th consecutive day with a high temperature exceeding 110 degrees fahrenheit, which is over 43 degrees celsius. the brutal heat is even harming the state's resilient saguaro cactus. experts warn the plants are losing their limbs, collapsing and entirely transforming in shape. the heat is affecting everybody. we are concerned because we have seen saguaro in particular, but this can
11:04 pm
happen to any type of cacti as well, we have seen them suffering the effects of extreme heat and drought. everyone had always thought that cacti are perfectly adapted to heat and drought. that plants can hold on during the whole dry season for the wet season to arrive. the ongoing heatwave is also threatening our allergies. the center for disease control and prevention is projecting a steep increase in cases of alpha—gal syndrome. that's because the tick that carries it has been moving north as temperatures warm. what is alpha—girl syndrome? it is a rare meat allergy from tick bites that may have already impacted as many as 450,000 americans. symptoms vary from person—to—person, but according to the cdc can include include stomach cramps, you might experience diarrhoea hives or itchy rashes and shortness of breath that could trigger fatal anaphylaxis. mosquito—bourne disease cases are also of concern in the us. just last month, the center for disease control and prevention said they identified a handful
11:05 pm
of cases where malaria was transmitted locally from mosquitoes in texas and florida. that's the first time that has happened in 20 years. we heard earlier, the shocking number of 200 million americans under some sort of weather warning. today in the us. we've seen these record breaking temperatures. how have you been seeing this extreme heat impacting our public health during this crisis? thank you for having me join you. the reality is the climate crisis is a health crisis and we are seeing people's health impacted in every possible way, whether it is through an increase in non—communicable disease, whether it is an increase in vector borne diseases. you talk about the alpha—gal and the lone star tick transmission and malaria.
11:06 pm
maternal health is being impacted. 0ur mental health, we're seeing this across the board. extreme heat has actually killed 60,000 europeans last year and as you mentioned, is affecting hundreds of millions of americans. but it's not... it's affecting our health. it's also affecting our ability to go to work and our productivity. and we are only seeing more and more of this. the reality is we have to take climate change immensely seriously because it is impacting our ability to to be well and to be a part of our lives on a daily basis. we saw some steps being taken by the white house on thursday, some climate related and heat related steps. these included temperature alerts, inspections for workplaces that are outdoors and very susceptible to high heat. in your opinion, has the white house, has the biden administration been doing enough to try to adapt the country to these extreme temperatures that we've been seeing?
11:07 pm
i fully agree with the president that climate change is an existential threat to our time and to our population and to this world right now. and i think the reality is that we as a global community have to look very seriously at whether we are making enough and quick enough and bold enough progress to reduce greenhouse gases and to protect ourselves and our well being going forward. you know, one person dies every 5 seconds from air pollution. that means 7 million people a year. that is more than died in the entire covid pandemic globally throughout that time. further, the us, in extreme heat, for example, is expected to lose 100 billion a year in productivity, lost labour and all of these pieces. so we are facing an existential crisis of our health. we are facing an existential crisis of our ability to have economic growth and wellbeing. 1.2 billion people are expected to
11:08 pm
be displaced between now and 2050. so we're facing a crisis of migration and we are not on track to meet the paris goal of 1.5 c. we are looking at about a 2.4 to 2.6 increase in degrees celsius right now at the rate that we're going, you know, by the deadline. and i think and that is going to have massive and sort of even unforeseen complications. so we have to get very serious about this now and today. and we need to be bolder and we need to really understand the profound implications of climate change on every aspect of our lives, but especially our health, which really is the human face of climate change. i want to talk about what we just heard earlier about these mosquito and tick—borne diseases. ten people across the united states believed to have contracted malaria in the united states. and this was a disease that was all but eradicated for many decades. what is the link here between climate change and now something like malaria?
11:09 pm
well, so climate change is changing our habitats. and with the warming of temperatures and the changes in ocean currents and winds and all these pieces, what ends up happening is that we see the warming temperatures, these vector borne diseases are able to move into new places that they haven't been for a long time. dengue is now expected to impact over half the world, for example. so we're seeing a real change in where ticks live, mosquitoes live in where we're able to contract some of these diseases. and it's going to have very, very profound impacts, again on our health, but also on the economic burdens of our ability to go to work, earn our living, take care of our family and all of these pieces as we get sick. and so i think that we're just at the tip of the iceberg on this at this point. but it's really a reflection of how changing weather patterns are, are making it easierfor these diseases to spread and to go into new environments that they haven't been in before, given what we've seen notjust
11:10 pm
in the united states, but also you mentioned that statistics, 60,000 some people dying last year in europe during that heat wave. how prepared do you think the world is for these heat waves, which scientists say will only become more extreme and more frequent in the future? but it's notjust heatwaves, though. it is extreme weather events. it is flooding and and monsoons. it's going to be rising sea levels. it is going to be change and vector borne diseases. there's it's the air pollution that, again, is killing someone every 5 seconds. we are getting hammered across every number of of different aspects of our health by climate change. and we have not done enough to prepare ourselves for this moment. the covid pandemic shows us that despite all of the money that we put into various aspects of health or that we spend on health, like in the united states, we still were stopped in our tracks by the by covid.
11:11 pm
the reality is we need to be investing in strong preventative care systems and primary care systems in a strong health workforce that is able to manage all of these different disease burdens. and if we make those investments today, we actually will have savings in the long run. we spend so much more reacting to disease than we do on the front side of prevention. all right, dr vanessa kerry, the world health organisation's special envoy for climate change and health. thank you so much for being here. thank you. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. bbc news bringing you different stories from across the uk. people on the streets of manchester are being balloted on life's biggest questions.
11:12 pm
liam or noel — what's your preference? noel to pick sides in the hottest cultural debates. barbie or 0ppenheimer? barbie. and there are those age old questions, questions that people in the north have pondered since the dawn of time, like bomb or muffin. ballot bins are a fun way to dispose of your litter, so you get an option of picking a side and to drop your litter in and see which one wins. the council are working in partnership with an environmental charity called hubbub, and the fast food chain kfc pop up have installed similar ones for cigarette butts, which they say has reduced litter by 46% in cities around the world. so which subjects might be debated next at the ballot bin? city or united? tea or dinner? my personal favourite steam or diesel or best regional news programme. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news.
11:13 pm
meanwhile, the second day of the russia—african summit in saint petersburg saw african leaders pressing russian president vladimir putin to end the war in ukraine and restore the grain deal that ended last week. putin promised to deliver up to 300 thousand tonnes of free russian grain. but some leaders said that might not be enough. the african union commission chairman told putin quote, "this war must end. and it can only end on the basis ofjustice and reason. the disruptions of energy and grain supplies must end immediately. the grain deal must be extended for the benefit of all the peoples of the world, africans in particular." 0ur correspondentjewel kiriungi has more on the summit. russian president vladimir putin has today said that he is carefully studying a peace deal that was shared by african countries in order to end the war in ukraine. just last month, a delegation of african leaders led by president cyril ramaphosa of south africa, offered to mediate in the conflict between russia and ukraine. in st petersburg today,
11:14 pm
these leaders called for a renewal of the grain deal that allowed the safe passage of ukrainian grain through its ports in the black sea. now, with this deal not in place, these leaders say that prices of wheat have gone up and this is having an effect on other commodities threatening the food security in the region. putin also today announced that his country will be allocating more than $90 million in funds to ease the debt burden which most countries in africa are currently facing. he says that he wants to grow trade and economic ties, which are currently relatively low between russia and africa. now leaders of countries such as mali and the central african republic today thanked putin for his support in fighting insecurity in the sahel region. to the war in ukraine now, and ukrainian president volodymr zelensky posted this video to social media, saying a multistory residential building and a security service building was struck in the central city of dnipro friday.
11:15 pm
he blamed russian missiles for the attack. ukraine's interior minister says at least five people were injured. earlier, moscow released this footage of damaged buildings in southern russia, allegeding it shot down two ukrainian missiles close to its border. the russian defence ministry claims ukraine carried out an attack on the residential area. well, ukraine's counter—offensive does appear to be intensifying, but questions over its success still remain. 0ur correspondent james waterhouse is in kyiv with more. how successful this counteroffensive has been depends on who you ask. now, it is clear on this south—eastern part of the front line that there has been a major push, that ukraine is concentrating a lot of men and machinery. and the claim this morning was that the village of stiamo norsk had been liberated. the advances are relatively small. we're talking about five kilometres, but there are reports of heavy shelling.
11:16 pm
analysts are describing a full frontal assault towards the city of bosnia, which is further southeast of zapad. so it is clear ukraine is trying to make moves now. there are unnamed sources, unnamed us officials who see this as the start of a major thrust. but ukraine, kyiv is trying to water that down a bit, saying any talk of the major push through is premature. but a push through is what ukraine needs. it needs to push through. it is hoping to, in this part of the front line to effectively cut russia's occupied land corridor in half. what that would do is isolate tens of thousands of troops and bring crimea comfortably within its sights. and what kyiv hopes is that will bring moscow to the negotiating table and force a sizeable compromise in a way. but i've got to stress — a lot needs to happen. it's too early to say whether this is the start of something much bigger. earlier my colleague helena humphrey spoke with lietenant colonel alexander vindman for his take on ukraine's counter—offensive.
11:17 pm
lieutenant colonel thank you for being with us after months of slow progress in ukraine's counteroffensive it does appear that ukrainians have broken through, some of those defensive lines of the south east of the country, what do you make of what we are seeing, is it progress? i you make of what we are seeing, is it progress?— it progress? i think it is, but we should not _ it progress? i think it is, but we should not overstate _ it progress? i think it is, but we should not overstate what - it progress? i think it is, but we should not overstate what we . it progress? i think it is, but we. should not overstate what we are seeing _ should not overstate what we are seeing is — should not overstate what we are seeing is now or underestimate how much _ seeing is now or underestimate how much longer this offensive could go. this is— much longer this offensive could go. this is always going to be a months lon- this is always going to be a months long effort — this is always going to be a months long effort. we are only about two months _ long effort. we are only about two months in — long effort. we are only about two months in and we still have quite a bit months in and we still have quite a hit of— months in and we still have quite a bit of summerand months in and we still have quite a bit of summer and fall fighting season— bit of summer and fall fighting season to go. we will not know for certain— season to go. we will not know for certain with — season to go. we will not know for certain with the ukrainians managed to accomplish, but we can say that the ukrainians have taken some hits, taken _ the ukrainians have taken some hits, taken some _ the ukrainians have taken some hits, taken some losses, have started out slower _ taken some losses, have started out slower than — taken some losses, have started out slower than some analysts, optimists have expected, but they are making gains _ have expected, but they are making gains they — have expected, but they are making gains. they are plugging away and doing _ gains. they are plugging away and doing probably one of the important things— doing probably one of the important things that they can, reduce

11:24 pm
i do love a quality street. i do like the old toffees! do you know how many quality street you are meant to have — the recommended amount you're meant to have in one sitting? um, no. not that many. i would have said maybe six. six in one go? yeah. what would your guess be? probably three. which is close. for the record, the label says the recommended serving for quality street is two, a tub of pringles is meant to be five or six portions, and 250 grams of halloumi is meant to serve approximately eight. in a survey today, the consumer group which? found portion information on food packaging can be confusing, inconsistent and unrealistic. it says nutrition labelling is valuable for customers, but it needs to be based on meaningful and consistent portion sizes. the food and drink federation told us they're committed to providing clear and accurate information, and a range of portion sizes are available to help consumers achieve a healthy, balanced diet. to sit down and eat quality street, i can't imagine it.
11:25 pm
would you like one? no, thank you. back on the street, we met this man who has prunes for breakfast, sardine salad for lunch and banana and yoghurt for dinner. i'm 82 and i feel really fit. i mean, you don't look 82! my god, you look incredible. well, recommend my diet. thank you, sir. bye— bye. graham satchell, bbc news. more news at the top of the hour. stay with us here at the news. hello there. so far this july looks like it's going to be a little bit below average for our temperatures, but a long way above average for rainfall. yes, there are some places, for example, blackpool, that have already seen 2.7 times their averagejuly rainfall. so it's been a lot wetter than normal and that pattern
11:26 pm
really has been repeated across most of the uk. now the satellite picture from friday shows this curl of cloud out towards our north—west. it's an area of low pressure and you can see the weather fronts spiraling into the center of the low. now, over the next few hours, as that low continues to move closer to the north—west of the uk, so increasingly we'll see some heavy downpours working in, especially to northern ireland and western areas of scotland. these are kind of temperatures you'll have as you start off the weekend, 14 or 15 degrees. so it is going to be quite a mild start to things on saturday. however, we will see plenty of downpours around. and as i say, the closer you are to that area of low pressure, the more likely you are to see some fairly heavy and even some fairly prolonged outbreaks of rain. that's especially the case for northern ireland and west scotland, but to a degree, north west england and northwest wales will probably have a lot of showers as well. elsewhere, well, probably not that many showers across the midlands and eastern areas of england. so some dry weather and lengthy dry spells for these areas showers few and far between. temperatures still by and large, a little below average. now for the cricket's the ashes.
11:27 pm
i suspect it will probably stay mostly dry on saturday. if you catch a shower, it will be a fleeting light one. on sunday, rain on the way but late in the day. so again, it should be a largely unaffected day for play. different story, though for monday, we are going to see low pressures working and bringing more rain. sunday's forecast — then we have an area of low pressure that's going to be pushing rain into northern ireland. wales and western areas of england should stay mainly fine to the north and east, although there will be a few showers here. temperatures continue to run a little bit below average for the time of year. 0n into monday and tuesday's forecast. well, even as one area of low pressure crosses the uk, there's another one brewing and developing to our west. so it'd be nice to think as we finished the month and started a new month going into august, that we'd see a change in the weather pattern. but no, that's not the case. it stays unsettled with further showers or some lengthier
11:29 pm
11:30 pm
which are threatening lives around the world, but also threatening the return of higher globalfood prices. as record heat waves set off wildfires in europe, as hot weather followed by floods force india to ban some rice exports and put parts of china under water. and as russia starts to bomb grain silos in ukraine, could we start seeing food shortages in some parts of the world and rising food prices everywhere? if anyone knows, it's this week's line up. they are a commodities expert who's always kept us ahead of the curve on prices. and the big boss of one of the world's biggest freight transport companies is going to tell us how costs and concerns are shaping his industry. also on the show, she's the big boss of one of the world's biggest retailers.
