Europe in extreme heatwave

A deadly heatwave continues to intensify in western Europe.

As the heatwave reaches a peak in several European countries, we take a walk in Oxford Street to find out how people are coping in London. We also speak to our reporters in France and Spain.

The head of the United Nations has called on the world to act with far greater urgency to limit global warming. Antonio Guterres warned fossil fuels were driving a simultaneous climate and energy crisis. Our climate expert explains.

It was 10 years ago since the UK voted for the country to leave the European Union. We speak to our UK political correspondent and hear from British voters.
