three facts why climate change is not man made. and paul goes for the ride of his life. you know, there s more to light than meets the eye, and i mean that literally. although it gives us all of the beautiful colours of the rainbow, we can only see a small fraction of the light that s all around us. we can t see infrared, but we can feel it as heat. ultraviolet is invisible but our skin knows if we have too much of it. and then there are x rays and gamma rays and microwaves, but it s radio waves that i ve come to talk about today. this is spire global, which makes satellites that listen to the radio waves that bounce around and off of the earth. we use data from space to improve life on earth full stop. we re done, right? ok, so maybe it s a bit more complicated than that. spire has a network of around 100 satellites in orbit that monitor the radio waves broadcast by things like planes and ships, along with natural radio waves that are reflected off those objects, off the s
jon heffernan, professor of semiconductor materials and devices at the university of sheffield and director of the national epitaxy facility, tells us more. it s part of a global battle to control the semiconductor industry, which has been undertaken by many countries. the 21st century is going to be a technological century and it is completely underpinned by semiconductors. you ve got semiconductors everywhere, from lighting to computer chips, yourfridge to your car. and the pace of innovation is accelerating and it is going to be more and more important. so each country around the world is actually considering very carefully what its strategy in this technological area is and what its economic strategy is, its security strategy is. and so this is just the latest example, particularly between china and the us, but there are other countries involved. some countries control different aspects of the semiconductor industry. some control the natural resources, the minerals and th
the uk had hottestjune since records began, with heat killing fish in rivers and threatening insects. sport and for a full round up, let s go to the bbc sport centre. i want to show you these pictures first because these are the pictures from the israel gaza border and you can see the fires that are burning and young men carrying out their protests as the unrest spreads after that launch of the israeli military operation in the refugee camp at the start of the day. already we have been seeing the pictures from inside the camp and we know from the palestinians, they say they targeted what they described as seven palestinian militants. palestinian officials say eight have been killed and 50 wounded and have been describing it more as an invasion rather than a military operation. that phrase from one palestinian official talking to the bbc in the last couple of hours. but the unrest clearly spreading as of that operation continues. we will have more on that which is our main sto

not all good news for australia though. spinner nathan lyon is a doubt for the rest of the series after suffering what s been described as a significant calf strain on day two at lord s. he arrived at the ground earlier on crutches and cricket australia say a decision regarding his availability for the remainder of the series will be made at the conclusion of the game . defending wimbledon champion novak djokovic says he salutes and applauds the decision to allow russian and belorussian players to return to the tournament this year. the all england club were fined for banning them in 2022, but djokovic says sport should be above politics. meanwhile the club s chief executive has been explaining the increase in security in response to the protests that have disrupted a number of uk based sporting events this year. we have uplifted security around the grounds this year, we work with the met police and other agencies to look at the threat and risk each year and then put mea
