Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The UK's National Drought Group is meeting to consider declaring more areas in drought as the country faces a fifth heat wave, with over 20 million people already under hosepipe bans and the driest July on record for England and Wales. In Canada, an 80-year-old woman died fleeing a wildfire in British Columbia, where a state of emergency has been declared and more than 20,000 people evacuated, with a cherry farmer describing the harrowing escape of workers from her farms.
A climate scientist said the extreme heat across the northern hemisphere is not surprising but the rate of change is concerning, urging adaptation and mitigation. Prime Minister Andy Burnham is beginning a summer cost of living tour, focusing on consumer issues like fake bargains and subscription traps, with expected targeted measures rather than large spending commitments.
The US envoy for Gaza insisted the US-backed peace plan is the only way forward after Israel rejected it, while Hamas agreed to the 15-point document. Suspected crime boss Daniel Kinahan appeared in a special criminal court in Dublin after being extradited from the UAE, charged with directing a criminal organization. Other news included funerals in Thailand for a 14-year-old shooter and his grandparents, and Iran's choice of a new National Security Council leader.
