The week Europe baked in extreme heat

World at One

Available for 29 days

As Britain's week of extreme heat comes to an end, we hear why Europe is heating faster than other continents. And we ask a leading UN advisor whether it will prompt political action on climate change. Rescue teams are still looking for survivors in Venezuela, after an earthquake killed hundreds. The influential left-wing economist Thomas Piketty tells us his plan for a new global economic system. And as the King announces he will not return to Buckingham Palace after renovations finish next year, we hear creative ideas for the palace's future.
