Wildfires in canada are threatening tens of thousands of people in british columbia, which is now under a State Of Emergency. 30,000 people have been told to leave their homes, with another 36,000 warned they may need to leave at any moment. 0ur Correspondent Peter Bowes has this report. Oh, my god. The intensity of the flames is terrifying. Moving rapidly over a vast area there are more than a thousand wildfires burning throughout canada. About a third of them are in british columbia, where 30,000 people have been told to leave their homes. Another 36,000 have been warned they may have to evacuate at any moment. Kelowna a popular Tourist Destination about 180 miles east of vancouver is on the edge of a huge inferno. The fire has already destroyed several homes in the Smaller Community of west kelowna, with embers from that blaze travelling in the wind over a lake to ignite more structures. Officials have urged the public to cancel all non essential travel to the region. At this time, we are strongly recommending that people with plans to travel to fire affected areas throughout the central interior and south east in the coming days to cancel those plans. We need tourists and travellers to take this situation as seriously as the residents of these areas do. To the north, yellowknife the capital of canadas Northwest Territories is now a ghost town. Over two days, almost the entire population of 20,000 people were evacuated from their homes. Leaving the city by road and air to escape a fire encroaching on their community. Officials said it had been an extraordinary achievement to get everyone out. The fire, caused by lightning a month ago, is still threatening the city although Cooler Conditions have slowed its progress. But gusty winds are forecast, and officials fear they could further propel the fire towards the city boundaries. Siren wails. This is an Epic Struggle for firefighters. Reinforcements have been brought in from as far away as south africa, with local resources stretched to the limit.

The British Medical Association is calling for Hospital Managers to be regulated in a similar way to medical staff following the case of the serial killer nurse lucy letby. The British Medical Association is calling for hospital she was found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six more. There are concerns that nhs bosses failed to respond adequately when questions about letby� s conduct were raised. Simonjones reports. The Smiling Nurse who was a killer of babies she was supposed to be caring for. This is the moment lucy letby was arrested. The British Medical Association says her crimes have shocked the nation, and something similar must never be allowed to happen again. Consultants at the countess of Chester Hospital say senior managers ignored their repeated warnings about letby for many months, despite Hospital Bosses claiming there was a culture of listening. It was secretive, it was judgemental. There was no credibility given to our opinions. And from january 2017, it was intimidating. Bullying to a certain extent. The consultants who raised concerns at one point even had to send letby an apology letter, against their wishes, for any stress and upset she may have experienced due to their comments. They also feared being reported to the General Medical Council when they continued to push for the police to be brought in. The gmc regulates doctors and has the power to strike them off. The British Medical Association is now calling for similar regulation for non clinical Hospital Managers so they can face the same rigorous scrutiny as doctors. The former Chief Executive of the countess of chester trust, tony chambers, said. Have any concerns that there was. The government says an inquiry examining the circumstances behind letby� s murders will also look at how concerns raised by clinicians were dealt with. Simon jones, bbc news.

The Great British summer may have been a disappointment in terms of weather, but all the rain thats lashed the country has had a great effect on english vineyards. A dryjune followed by a wet july make for perfect conditions for a Bumper Harvest of grapes. Ellie crisell reports from west sussex. The english Wine Industry has grown and grown, with sussex home to the most vineyards. The grapes may be baking in sunshine today, but the last month has told a different story. Can our unpredictable weather really sustain this industry . Its really getting from spring to harvest thats the challenge. So this years a perfect example of we had a great start to the year so great spring, we had great fruit set as you can see, we have lots of berries in the vineyard but we just havent had the sun in the last month or so. And this is our challenge. Every yea r� s different, and when we think were past one hurdle, theres Something Else thatjumps out at us for a crop that depends on consistently good weather, it certainly seems a gamble to grow in the uk, but for many estates that gamble is paying off with wine tourism big business. I think were seeing england and the uk generally sort of follow that sort of trend that weve seen in napa, which is to have a really lovely cafe shop restaura nt on site. Weve seen tourists, local Community Come and visit us and drink great coffee as well as great wine down on site with us. I also think theres a little bit that sort of post covid consumers wanting to drink, eat locally and feel part of a local community. This year, were still optimistic. Weve avoided a lot of the hurdles for producing grapes this year, so weve avoided the frost, weve avoided. Weve had great fruit set. The vines look very healthy. But now we need sun thats the bottom line. The uks Wine Industry has only been able to bear fruit as Global Warming has increased temperatures. But along with that come extreme events and even less predictability leaving winemakers anxiously watching the weather.

Stick with us on bbc news for all the action. Hello there. It certainly was quite an eventful start to our weekend, with storm betty pushing north, bringing heavy rain and strong winds. A pretty grey and blustery start in Northern Ireland. Here, we had 46 millimetres of rain from storm betty. But the story improved and, actually, we had some sunshine and some warmth coming through. By the end of the afternoon, temperatures in Lincolnshire Peaking at 25. 9 celsius. So this was the story, then, on saturday, with storm betty anchored to the north west, starting to drift its way a little bit further westward. So as we go through the day on sunday, we will have more cloud the further north and west and a few scattered showers to begin with. And then into the afternoon, perhaps some more showers developing across the western half of england and wales. Further east, drier, settled with some sunshine. And temperatures, well, 17 to 21 degrees for scotland and Northern Ireland, perhaps peaking at 24 or 25 degrees 77 fahrenheit for england and wales. Into the first part of next week, low pressure will move in from the north and it will bring showers or longer spells of Rain Across Scotland and Northern Ireland. Some blustery winds as well. For england and wales, it stays largely dry with showers fairly isolated, and with a south westerly Wind Direction, those temperatures will start to climb. Itll feel quite pleasant, in actual fact. Temperatures peaking at 26 degrees here, 16 to 21 under the cloud and the rain. A similar story as we move into tuesday, always the risk of some showers continuing into the far north and west and a few along west facing coasts. But therell be plenty of sunshine and plenty of warmth. It will feel quite pleasant. Once again, those temperatures peaking widely into the mid 20s across central and southern england. But by the middle part of the week, we are expecting a change. A Weather Front could potentially bring some wetter weather, and as this drifts its way steadily eastwards, the Wind Direction will swing around to a fresher north westerly. So that means that were going to lose some of that warmth. The russet tones disappear back to the near continent. It will be a cooler story towards the end of the working week. So further north, it looks likely it will stay cool and showery at times, with temperatures mid to high teens. But even across england and wales, a noticeable difference to the feel of the weather, although we might not see that much rain in the far south east. This is bbc news the headlines. Spain and england will go head to head in the final of the womens football world cup later today.
