tim allman, bbc news.n expert on climate change, and a professor at the university of california, berkeley. he had this explanation as to what was happening across europe. what we are seeing are two effects going on together. one is that we have warmed the planet by about 1.1 degrees celsius, which might not sound like a lot but it means that forests are drier, we have less moisture in the lower atmosphere, less moisture in ecosystems and unfortunately western europe in particular is a so—called warming hotspot. that's due to the geography of europe, ice over the arctic region and the so—called double jetstream which means the hot air is trapped and those double jetstream events become more common. that explains a large fraction of the conditional heat waves we are seeing so it's a double whammy and it's one the climate science really points very directly to. from the problem for people to understand, i look back to the 1990s when the french, i think they still have anxieties about the next heatwave where

tim allman, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes., but it's also been incredibly dry across parts of southern wales, southern and eastern areas of england. there've been some places that have seen no appreciable measurable rain so far this month, so bone dry. now, there is potential for seeing a bit of rain over the next few days, but some of the driest areas of southern and eastern england, hardly anything in the forecast. there should be some useful rain, though, across parts of southern wales. that's one of the driest areas of the uk, so i'm sure that rain will be welcome. and the radar picture is picking up some areas of rain today. we've got this line just forming across east wales into parts of somerset area, down to dorset that's forming on a convergence zone. so there will be some slow moving, heavy thundery showers there, bringing some locally pretty large rainfall totals. but the rain across sussex will probably weaken. the rain also across northern england, likely to weaken in time as well. 0vernight tonight, well, we're g

the bbc�*s tim allman has the story.f listens. here he was practising ahead of the 150th open championship at st andrews, but his focus seemed to be elsewhere, namely the controversial liv golf tour and the players who've left the pga and european tour behind. i disagree with it. i think what they've done is they've turned their back on what has allowed them to get to this position. the people behind it say that liv golf is an exciting new chapter in the history of the sport — exciting, dynamic and lucrative... very, very lucrative. the saudi government is pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into the game. but its critics say it's sportswashing, a controversial regime trying to improve its image on the back of golf, and tiger woods believes there is a huge problem if players can earn big money not from winning but just from turning up. what is their incentive to practice? to go out there and earn in the dirt? you are getting paid a lot of money for a few events and 5a holes. liv is the idea of greg norman, a two—time

tim allman looks back at his life and career.e been focused. this mountain has always meant danger. to climb it takes wisdom, experience and courage. one man who had 20 of that was marcel remy. here he was last year at the tender age of 98. getting to grips with a climbing wall at a local gymnasium. always determined to reach the top, no matter what. tributes have been paid to this king of the mountains. on social media, the sports company that sponsored him said: marcel remy was born in the gruyere district of switzerland in 1923. he spent his childhood in the alps. his mother and sister died in an avalanche in the alps when he was young but that did not deter him from a life of mountaineering. we carried on climbing well into his 90s, saying the secret of his success was to pace himself. his son, almost —— also mountain you said this thanks __'5 mountain you said this thanks ——'s father was a tough dad, do or die whatever the conditions. the sort of determination that helped him conquer every summit helped him conquer every sum

the jewel of the sporting crown has been taking in a field in south—west england as the bbc�*s tim allmanw else can you put it than ready, steady, mow! these are the lawnmower world championships, an annual event that dates back nearly half a century, which would be an awful lot of cut grass, except they take the blades out, just to be on the safe side. there are enough crazy people out there who want to jump on a mower, tweak it up and go hurtling around a field during the summer months. and long may it last! there are various different categories of lawnmower, with some bigger than others, but this is fundamentally a very egalitarian kind of sport. it doesn't drive like anything that you've ever driven before, so you have to learn it from scratch. all the engines are the same, the equipment is pretty much all the same. so everyone is on a level. the weather was not ideal but over the course of two days, we witnessed some pretty high endurance lawnmowing. this is grassroots motorsports. quite literally. my lawnmower doesn't look like that! it has continued warming up this week particular

with the latest, here's tim allman. in much of europe the heat is just relentless.ing the trees with water. at this nearby hotel they've put gas canisters in the swimming pool to try to stop them exploding. the flames are now threatening nearby homes and businesses so everyone's getting out while they can. "the firemen rang the doorbell to tell us we had to evacuate right "away," said this man. "so we took something to sleep in, brought our pets, and that's it." paris in the sunshine seems almost idyllic, but this heat can be a killer. people are told to stay hydrated, the vulnerable are told to stay indoors, and the images of what's happening elsewhere are having a real impact. "it's true, it's not normal, and when you see the damage "caused by the fires, it's a bit scary, to be "honest," said this woman. "i think we'll have to get used to this every year." it's not just france. wildfires have destroyed thousands of hectares of land in spain. here in the province of zamora a wall of flames surrounded one man, seemingly trapped in what looks like a digger. miraculou
