this heatwave continued across southeastern parts of the uk on sunday.34 degrees, closely followed by 33 in farnborough in hampshire. more comfortable temperatures, more comfortable humidity through bedford and prestwick. it is going to be southeastern areas that continue to see the extreme temperatures over the next few days. but even here, temperatures will drop a bit by the end of the week. together with the heat and humidity, there's an increasing risk of catching some torrential rain with some heavy and thundery downpours. although, pinning down the detail is going to be rather difficult. as we head into the morning, we start with a fair bit of cloud around. maybe some showers or rain developing, particularly across wales in the southwest. these could turn heavy and thundery, drift their way northwards through the irish sea, threatening northwest england, northern ireland and heading into southern scotland. there could be the odd sharp shower further east, but there will be a lot of sunshine around as well. it's going to heat up very quickly in engl

australia is of course in a different position from the uk. whereas we have a trade deficit with china, they have a surplus. we have 20 billion i think it is deficit and they have 30 billion surplus. this puts australia in a in a h better position that as an what will be interesting in the days and weeks and months ahead is the extent to which china's leverage is not still there. depending on a nation's reliance on it economically. and i would hope that the five eyes in particular stick together on this demand accountability of china and then have a unified response, whatever we find. >> when you think about the italian you mentioned i think early on, when you think about the italian reaction, , it's anr with eu, and it seems sort of friendly posture for china for obvious reasons. it's clear this is going to be a very complicated time and everyone will sort of lineup in that balance sheet in just the way you've you described and we already starting to see that. >> and by the way i don't want to think -- the one that shot need most was the pres

the long road back to the uk.mily, who were supposed to be on holiday for another week, are hotfooting it from the west of france trying to catch a ferry to avoid mandatory quarantine in the uk. looking at the satnav, we are struggling for time, very tight for time. we may not make it, we may be about half an hour short, and travelling with three other families, my wife and my daughter in the car, a bit deflated, to be honest. feel a little let down by the government. a short while later, it is clear the family are going to miss their boat. we now think we cannot make the roscoff ferry so we are going to have to try to travel to see if we can go to calais and get a ferry across from there. we are trying to book those ferries as we speak. the decision came late last night — two weeks of self isolation for all travellers from france on arrival in the uk. there are estimated to be half a million british tourists in the country right now. this morning, the transport secretary grant shapps explained his decision. i am

he accused the uk of time wasting.ef negotiator, he said basically the problem here is that the eu has to accept that the uk wa nts a the eu has to accept that the uk wants a deal, a trade deal, that would give it a sovereign control of things that really matter, including laws, borders and waters. we still have these two big stumbling blocks. first of all, fishing, the extent to which eu boats can come into british waters and also the so—called state aid rules, all about different governments being able to give support to different industries, which in the light of covid—19 is a really important thing. they will meet again in london in september but no breakthrough this week. nick beakein but no breakthrough this week. nick bea ke in brussels, but no breakthrough this week. nick beake in brussels, thank you. our top story this lunchtime: thousands of holidaymakers race to get back to the uk, before new quarantine rules come into force early tomorrow. and coming up — surf‘s up — how pulling on a wetsuit and getting out

the uk's. [inaudible] and i thought entirely wrongly. i thought the sole major misstep of the governments of the uk uk was in granting that contract. i would hope that in the very least would chain now but we will see. i wouldn't dissipate strengthening of attitudes about this everywhere. to me most interesting thing about this is how it responds and whether we can stick together on which i hope we can. the one thing that is noticeable about this, partly about this is that if you remember in recent years there have been things like the enormous row that blew up in 2012 between the uk in china over then prime minister cameron's meeting with the dalai lama. in the wake of that, for about a year is a very rocky relations between the uk and china. china canceled narrative meetings with trade invoice and much more. and the government was over a barrel on its period and decided to bend towards beijing's wood announced they would never again meet with the dalai lama. this to mine mine was a very worry

in the uk? >> i think that argument is happening everywhere, isn't it? it's happening in every single country, not the least because in the earlier stages of this crisis we all saw things that were extremely alarming. the example that was most written on european affairs in recent years was in europe and across europe and seen for instance in the early days was quite frankly suffering worse and seen the german and french government going protectionist on certain products, masks, oxygen in this sort of thing the italian public, by the way, which has seen an enormous swing in recent weeks against the heat you think was rightly enraged by the countries that have lectured people most on protectionism in recent years. actually, when the crisis hit during something that was completely against everything they had said before and so i think there's a lot of looking around and a lot of lessons being taken but it will be sometime before you see the effects of that in the voting. ... trust is at an all-tim

would it necessarily be the uk?here is no certainty that the sort of uk—us special relationship as it was once formulated would return. and no guarantee, of course, jeffrey, not least because of where the polls are. i saw douglas brinkley, the presidential historian, quoted this week, saying the polls are beginning to tighten in key states like the midwest. and because of the electoral college system, that could be enough to lead to the re—election of donald trump even if, for a second time, he didn't win the popular vote. listen, i think everyone was humbled by how wrong the polls were last time, although it is important to say that trump did lose the popular vote by 3 million in 2016. i want to go back to law and order for a moment. one of the things that is very interesting about the trump campaign is this appeal to so—called suburban housewives. and when you match that with the law and order campaign, it's perceived to be a veiled racism, saying, we have got to protect white suburbs from black people. and what's
