credentials in - dry to burnish his credentials in recent days, yesterday we saw him campaigning in granthamment, it looks like he is behind in the polls so he needs to come up with eye—catching policies. the debate in the last couple of weeks has centred on the differences in tax and rishi sunak needs to move into these other areas like immigration and start talking about what he would do differently. there is a slight problem with some of those. some of these ideas like putting asylum seekers on cruise ships as they had their application is processed, they are ideas that have been talked about for years and have been talked about for years and have been talked about for years and have been looked at by different home secretaries but they have never happened because they've been seen be practical and not an appropriate thing to do and i think there is a slight problem for rishi sunak, if he has so behind in the polls and he starts to try and do more desperate things to get attention and get support its possible it willjust backfire. support it's possible it will 'ust backfire. ,, ., ., , ba

let's speak to bob ward, the policy and communications director of the grantham institute, part of partnatural one. in what way do you think that we change our response? we have to recognise that these heatwave periods are becoming more intense and more frequent because of climate change. ultimately, we want to stop this trend, then we're going to stop this trend, then we're going to need to reach net zero emissions of greenhouse gases. also, many people are going to die, and we're going to see hundreds of people die unfortunately over the few days. they're going to die in overheated homes, because we have buildings that are poorly designed, that suck up that are poorly designed, that suck up the heat and trap it, and turn houses into death traps, particularly for those that have underlying health conditions and are particularly vulnerable to the heat. that is why i have described it as an a natural disaster, they have preventable deaths that are caused by our own actions. fin preventable deaths that are caused by our own actions.— preventable deaths that are caused by our own actions. o
