record—breaking heatwaves around the world, i'm joined by environmental scientist at imperial college londoncurrently in san diego. thank you forjoining us. are these record—breaking heatwaves expected ? so with all the things we hear about climate change, these are not out of expectation, because we have been talking about seeing more extreme events and floods, droughts, and all sorts of climatic events are expected to be seen and observed more and more, to become more frequent and extreme and intense. hot weather can be benign, it can be one of those things which happens. extreme weather events happen all the time. but this is having effects on ‘s livelihoods and lives. the time. but this is having effects on 's livelihoods and lives. that is the thing. —— on people's livelihoods and lies. we are seeing the frequency of extreme heat events and hot spell is increased. disadvantaged communities suffer from this. whether this is in the developed or developing world. 5a people being the victim of traumatic events that everyone has been talking about in north america needs serious attention. he

explored as well including drilling holes from above where neil greenberg is a professor at king's college london who specializes in psychological trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder he says the success of the rescues first phase will help keep up the spirits of the remaining boys and their coach from a psychological point of view i'm sure the boys and the coach are left will be buoyed by the fact that their colleagues who got out i'm sure they'll be a tad sad because it's not them but the same time that's going to give them hope that actually if the others can do it they can do it do they match is the vibe as you say sixteen days. since day nine i'm sure their minds will be focused on we're getting out we're going home i would very much hope that the rescuers and also the contact they've had with the outside world including the parents has kept them very focused on the fact is they're getting out at this stage of the operation and bringing into their minds the fact that it might not be possible for them that there might be other doubts would not be helpful for them or indeed for the rescue

his expectations for the summit are low, but domitilla sagramoso, a security expert at king's college londonan's involvement in syria. we have an idea of probably what they will be discussing. i think the most important dimension is the fact that they want to know each other better and establish a kind of relationship where they can address each other if there is some kind of strategic emergency or a sense that they might be some kind of confrontation as it happened around syria as a result of the chemical weapons case so these kind of issues is something the russians in particular are very keen on, to establish a hotline they can call each other and address issues of emergency. we also know they are interested in addressing the situation in syria around the iranian presence there and the strong influence that iran has in syria and here is an area where both share to a certain extent similar positions because the united states and trump, they want to make sure the iranian is not too strong, especially on the borders and the russians to a certain extent are quite worried about the strength of

joining me now is dr andrea danese, child psychiatrist at kings college london 5 institute of psychiatrylogy & neuroscience. thank you for coming in. such an anxious wait for these parents. what will have been the best way to prepare the boys for their rescue?” would have described exactly the procedure in terms and ways children would understand, so easy words. and also rescuers have spent time with the children to build report and hopefully the children feel they can trust the rescuers stewed anything major occurred during the rescue. very frightening prospect to be led through that cave system. how are the ones left behind going to cope? it is difficult to say. i hope the response will be one of hope seeing some of the other boys have left the cave and they are safe and sound. what sort of state emotionally and physically would you expect these boys and their coach to be in when they emerge from the cave?” boys and their coach to be in when they emerge from the cave? i expect many of them will be exhausted by the physical circumstances they found themselves in. i think probably many o

now let's go to takis tridimas, professor of eu law at king's college london, who can tell us whetherthe eu. thank you forjoining us. what grounds do you think she might have for suing the eu? it is not obvious, it is not easy to see how the united kingdom government would be able to sue the european union. we are in negotiations, and these are a matter for politics, not really a matter for politics, not really a matter for judiciary for politics, not really a matter forjudiciary dispute. the united kingdom is still a member of the european union, it has rights and obligations, so if there was a suggestion that the european union has denied to the government a right oi’ has denied to the government a right ora has denied to the government a right or a power, then the government could sue. so for example, if the european union tried to regulate an area where it does not have any power to regulate, and the government could sue for that. but there is no suggestion to my knowledge that this has happened, so as far as the negotiations are concerned, there is a duty to behave with good fait

as soon as possible new greenberg is a psychiatrist and first defense mental health at king's college londonand he says the challenge for the boys will be leaving each other and getting on with their normal lives. from the stories that we've heard so far actually that they didn't appear to lose hope so then what's really important over the next few days and weeks months is that they create some sort of meaning to this and so one hopes that they wore begin to form a narrative a story in which something bad could have happened but in fact they remained resilient they relied on each other and if that they came out ok and that should set them well up for the future so that actually yet in terms of how they cope with this in the future they they should be more resilient and more able to take this hopefully that don't work out there or as badly as the last lot of course there is the danger that people may serve to overprotect them and that they also might be the best on their their fact that they're now a person who has survived this difficult ordeal or really their challenges is to get back on wi

earlier this evening i spoke to andrea danese, a child psychiatrist at king's college london who explainedhis experience will have on the children. first of all, it's excellent news. i would expect them to also be elated, of course, by the fact of being rescued finally. many of them would still probably experience some emotional symptoms, maybe anxious, agitated and trouble sleeping, for example, and they‘ re agitated and trouble sleeping, for example, and they're still in the hospital, where they've been having some health checks as well, medical checks. visa very normal symptoms and most individuals, not only children exposed to such an ordeal will have these kinds of symptoms. i would then expect these symptoms will wane within a few weeks and perhaps only a minority of them, two 01’ perhaps only a minority of them, two or three of them, might have longer term mental health consequences. that's still a quarter of them, three out of 12, that is still a significant minority of them who might have to... 0bviously significant minority of them who might have to... obviously you don't know wh

andres craig in london he's an assistant professor at the defense studies department in king's college london always good to talk to you so let's start there are the who are these actually technically capable of accomplishing this this any type of attack on the airport an object. irish i mean yes and you pointed out already that the distance between you know a potential control center of the who these in yemen to the airport is around thirteen to fifteen hundred kilometers depending on where you measure this is a very extensive distance considering that it has to cross through another country so yemen doesn't share a border with the u.a.e. which meant they must have penetrated three there saudi arabia most likely or or oman and they should have they must have been able to do this completely evading any detection from both the saudi or the morality air defense system and ballister and missile defense system the sum of three if you look at it is quite an extensive drone this is not a small toy there's not a quite recall there as we might know it so having such a huge vehicle penetrating the air

earlier we spoke to andrea st who's an assistant professor in defense studies at kings college in london he told us both saudi arabia and the u.a.e. have been accused of war crimes before it's not the first time we have now a very long string of different reports from international independent watchdog. and different n.g.o.s who basically document how the u.a.e. and saudi arabia have conducted their military operations in the countries that we have a long list of different war crimes that were committed but apart from the war crimes that happened in operation we have these allegations which i think are very very plausible and are very credible about how they use a network of dark black sites that are actually extrajudicial prison sides where people are being detained tortured and apparently even killed this is not something completely new i mean the u.a.e. run similar camps within their own countries and we've seen since two thousand and eleven there has been a purge of opposition and political people who are close to political islam people who've also been subjected to torture detention

earlier, i spoke to takis tridimas, professor of eu law at king's college london, about whether theresa... it's not obvious, it's not easy to see how the united kingdom government would be able to sue the european union. we are in negotiations. these are matters for politics, it's not really a matter forjudicial dispute. now, the united kingdom is still a member of the european union. it has rights and obligations. so, if there was a suggestion that the european union has denied to the government a right or a power under eu law, then the government could sue. so, for example, if the european union drives to regulate an area where it does not have any power to regulate, then the government could sue for that. but there is no suggestion, to my knowledge, that this has happened. so, as far as the negotiations are concerned, there is a duty to behave with good faith. but again, i don't think there is any suggestion that the eu, or the uk for that matter, has breached their duty. so, when president trump made this suggestion, what sort of legal case do you think he had in mind? it's not easy

with me now, is andre dah—nah—za, a child psychiatrist at king's college london, he's also a spokesperson of psychiatrists. the children in the family. what happens when they come back down to earth after the excitement of these past few hours? it is first of all, excellent news, and you would expect them to also be elated by the fact of being rescued finally? many of them will probably experience some emotional symptoms, anxious, agitated. and they'll be having health checks in the hospital. these are very normal symptoms and most individuals, not only children exposed to such an ordeal will have these kind of symptoms. i will expect these symptoms will fade in a few weeks, and perhaps two or three of them may have longer—term mental health consequences. that is still a comma that is a significant minority of them, you don't know which ones because you cannot predict, what sorts of things can develop when someone sorts of things can develop when someone has been in this kind of situation, life or death situation? after these kinds of experiences, young people might develop depression, an

my name is ndidi edi—0sagie and i am a third—year medical student at king's college london.my mother was a nurse and my grandmother was a cook, and my grandmother looked after us a lot and we would come to the hospital and wait for her, while she was finishing work, to come and pick us up. i was the first nurse in my family, and i think i am still the only one, because my familyjust thought nursing was a bit heavy and they tried to dissuade me, but i loved the uniform and that is why i went into nursing. and now your daughter is also following in your footsteps. she is. what is it like to see your daughterflourish? well, i must say, when she first said she was going to do medicine, i tried to dissuade her, actually. but in the end i was really pleased that i had been such a good role model for her. because, ithought, there are so many other things you can do, and when you are in a profession, you always think the grass is greener on the other side. but i actually really enjoy myjob and she said to me, "mum, but you love yourjob," and i do love myjob. so i am quite pleased th

now let's talk to philippe sands, qc and professor of law at university college london, about the legald these men to the united states to face trial and possibly the death penalty and not potentially back them being sent to guantanamo bay? well, the policy seems to have been made on the hoof. it is a change of policy. the british government's position has been for more than a0 yea rs we position has been for more than a0 years we don't send people to places where they're subject to the death penalty. and this what is they call now a rare exception, but it is a first. so that is a change of policy. and of course it is peculiar that it appears they're going to impose more conditions for transfer to guantanamo than for the application of the death penalty. so they seem to be all over the place. it is interesting you say this is definitely a change of policy, the suggestion is that this kind of thing has actually happened before. well, i mean i have followed this, i do cases in the english courts and i'm a professor of international law, i'm not aware of a case before that the uk has accep

courtenay norbury, professor of developmental language and communication disorders at university college london where we recruited children when they started school in a mainstream school, and we‘ve been tracking them now through to year six. what we found was quite striking, when children start school, their oral language, vocabulary, grammar, and ability to have conversations or tell stories, was the single biggest predictor of their academic retain met early on. and it‘s not just their academic retain met early on. and it‘s notjust about speech and communication, it‘s all aspects of the curriculum. language is important for maths, for science, for your personal and social development. that is one key finding. the otherfinding development. that is one key finding. the other finding was that those children who started behind the rest of their peers really don‘t catch up, that gap maintains all the way through primary school. what can be done to improve children‘s literacy skills at this very young age? oral language is the foundation of literacy, so what we want to do for the early years is to
