with the moon's surface." russia had hoped to make the first soft landing at the moon's south pole. surface temperatures at the moment, somewhere between 87 and 95 degrees. so many people don't think that

climate change is real. itjust was extremely hot and everyone was starting to get worried, day by day, until it happened. temperatures will climb well into the 405, making conditions even worse on our fire grounds. the footage that i took of the fire was shot on the gopro that i had actually got for christmas five days before the event.

it was on a very hot day to begin with, so that made the fire, i think, a lot more aggressive. in the afternoon, i got the first glimpse of the fire coming over one of the mountains in front of us. it's so much smokier over there. it then started behind our house and i wasjust standing up there, thinking, "bleep, this is happening. i need to get off the roof now and start fighting." whoa, kangaroo! ok, it's coming this way! should i get the other pump going? what? what should i do? the fire was just too intense and out of my control. dad! and if india had been in earshot at the time, i was wanting her to get into that

fire shelter and just give up. it's over. we've done the best we can. oh, no! no, no, no! it did get really intense and i thought we were going to lose the house. um... but itjust calmed down for a second and the fire kept going up the mountain. oh, yeah. it has completely and utterly changed the landscape here for the rest of my life, if not forever. as far as any of the tall trees, mostly all of them have been wiped out.

we are right still in the middle of this heatwave, so as we head into the christmas period... that is what happens when you wake at 5:30am! so there's very strong evidence — irrefutable evidence, in fact — that the climate of australia has changed, especially over the last 50 or 70 years. i specialise in heatwaves so i study how heatwaves have changed over time and what's causing those changes.

i have a two—year—old and a four—year—old daughter. it really bothers me that the world that they're experiencing now is a lot different to my childhood. i've experienced days of 45 and 47 degrees celsius and that was appalling. it was atrocious. you couldn't do anything. the only way we could stay cool in western sydney was to have the air con running all day, and that was a really hard thing for me to do. during my first pregnancy, it was so hot that i actually struggled to go and put the washing on the line. while i was literally about to bring this child into the world, i was thinking, "what would summers be like for her in the future?" it was the hottest day ever recorded in the sydney basin. incredibly, the mercury rising to almost 49 degrees. because population increase in sydney is continuing, it's spreading out west.

the australian dream, where you had your half acre or acre block and your own house — this australian dream could become, basically, australia's nightmare. you need a car to actually get from your house to work, because we are also not providing work where you live, you have to commute. also, there are no shops. people living indoors and you don't see anyone outside, i don't see any kids playing outside. they even put black roofs on top of these houses and then they build them so close together that you have no more space left to actually put trees in, which is crazy when you think of the next 20 or 30 years when we know it is getting hotter out there. in australia, we're producing our energy to a large proportion by burning fossilfuels, meaning we're producing more co2 by having all these air—conditioning units running high, flat—out.

but there could be simple changes made, and these changes relate to materials. one of the projects where we are demonstrating change is the cool roads trail. let's take the heat—stress trekkers and put them out in this cool street, and we'll collect some measurements on this stinking hot day. this yellow concrete is only at about 60 degrees, so nearly ten degrees cooler than the asphaltjust out on the road, which is 70—72 degrees. it is quite interesting. they removed all the bitumen and you can see the different surface materials bringing in the verges, planting more trees, so i think it's a great idea. beyond 42 degrees, mortality increases substantially. this is what climate change looks like, ladies and gentlemen.

in november 2018, up to one—third of the entire australian spectre of flying fox population just died in a matter of two days. in two hot afternoons. just like that. so, over the last few years, we've begun installing sprinklers in flying fox camps in the hope that they can prevent some of the worst of the mortality. the international report has australia last when it comes to policies that protect the climate, trailing countries like russia, iran and china.

if he said we were doing better than anyone else, he must have looked at the table upside down. our goal is to reach net zero emissions as soon as possible, and preferably by 2050. we're not going to reduce our emissions to two degrees warming by the end of this century. i know that we're probably going to reach three or four degrees, and i know what that means for how many more heatwaves we're going to see and how much hotter those heatwaves will be. sweetheart, you're meant to be unpacking, not packing! as a scientist, i know how bad the future looks. i understand that, i comprehend all that, that's what i do for a living. but as a mum, as a person, i guess, as a human being, i really struggle with just how bad those impacts will be.

i'm worried for my future. i'm worried that this house won't be here in another five years, and i'm worried that no—one really cares enough to do anything. so, what plants do you think we should plant in our back yard in our new house? strawberries. you want strawberries? the brand—new house is going to be awesome. we're going to make it energy efficient and we're going to have lots of solar panels and a white roof and lots of insulation and it's going to be oriented the right way and we will have an electric car, when we can buy it. i know we've caused some problems, and i know we also hold the key to the solutions.

what else do you like to eat that you think we can grow in our yard? how about some apples? 0oh, mummy likes apples!

hello there. well, plenty of sunshine set to continue across much of england and wales through sunday, but a fair weather cloud bubbling up. one or two showers certainly across northern parts of england. and it's a little more unsettled towards parts of northern ireland, with some heavy showers

here through the rest of today in towards western scotland as well. but eastern scotland having some sunshine too and some pleasant warmth around the moray firth. but the real heat is across parts of central and eastern england, 25 or 26 degrees. breezy though, in the northwest, with those winds set to continue as we head into sunday evening, with some cloud and showery outbreaks of rain working their way eastwards across scotland, parts of northern ireland, too. but the winds means temperatures here not falling particularly far, around about the mid teens in places. cooler, fresher, further south and east. dry, some clear skies, but some areas of mist and fog and low cloud forming through parts of the south midlands in towards parts of southern england. for the week ahead, we've got low pressure anchored to the northwest, high pressure down towards the southeast. so, that northwest—southeast split will likely persist for the next few days. and it means on monday, after the early mist and fog in the south clears, it's a dry and fine day for much of england and wales. but further north and northwest, cloudier with some showers and then outbreaks of rain working across the highlands and islands of scotland in towards parts of the west of northern ireland. eastern scotland, though

still dry with some sunshine and pleasantly warm. further south, though, once again we'll see temperatures reaching the mid—20s, maybe 26 degrees through parts of east anglia. looking ahead now towards tuesday, and once again, some showery activity across parts of scotland, in towards northern england, parts of north wales and northern ireland. but much of central, southern and eastern england is dry and fine. once again, any early morning mist and fog will soon lift and temperatures again, mid—afternoon, here in the mid—20s. now, midweek, we start to see a change. we've got that high pressure still nearby, but a weather front bringing the chances some showery rain through parts of the midlands and wales. and you can see that there on the chart through wednesday. south of that band, staying dry with some sunshine. north of here, that familiar picture of bright spells and showers always focused across parts of the west and northwest. so, on the outlook, you can see that for much of wales and england, it's dry and fine, turning unsettled later. further north, fresher, with showers at times. that's the forecast for now.
