Hit their highest average Surface Temperature on record, as they soak up warmth from Climate Change and scientists are warning this will have serious consequences for the health of the planet. The average temperature this week was nearly 21 celsius, far above whats typical for this time of year. The global average is around half a Degree Celsius Lower which might not sound much, but experts say they are worried. The oceans are vital to help regulate our climate and drive weather patterns, and are home to a vast range of species. Heres our climate editorjustin rowlatt. Marine scientists send down an array of instruments to assess the impact of Warming Sea Water off the coast of plymouth. Have we got a reading for today yet, do you know . I heard them Say Something around 18 19, which is 4 Degrees Higher than it should be. One of the most dramatic heat waves ever recorded in uk seas hasjust subsided, part of a global trend of warming waters. The ocean temperature, or the ocean itself, is
Extended from nine to 19 years. Mr navalny was found guilty of inciting and financing extremist activity and creating an extremist organisation, charges he denied. Hes already serving a nine year term for fraud and contempt of court, in a case which many see as politically motivated. Todays Court Proceedings were held in the prison in melekhovo, where he has been held, and from where our russia editor, steve rosenberg, reports. This is the closest we were allowed to get to russias most famous prisoner. Wed been let inside the High Securityjail where Alexei Navalny was already incarcerated. But journalists werent allowed into the makeshift courtroom. All we could do was watch on a screen.

we start with a troubling landmark for the climate as 2023 smashes the record, for the world s hottest year ever recorded. european scientists say, that 2023 left the records tumbling like dominoes . the average global temperature in the past 12 months was 14.98 degrees. that beats the previous hottest year set in 2016 by 0.17 degrees. the announcement was made by the eu s climate change service. and the met office in the uk believes this record could be short lived, as their forecasts suggest 2024 could be even hotter. earlier, i spoke to our climate editor, justin rowlatt, who told me that record was broken by some margin. yeah, it is interesting, isn t it? the margin, as you say, was 0.17 celsius. you might say, well, that doesn t sound very much to me, but remember, this is a global average, an average across the entire globe day and night across the entire year, and normally scientists say they expect it to be broken by a tiny fraction of a degree, 0.01, 0.02, not
From keith. By the standards of the daily Missile Strikes that ukraine experiences, this one looks especially bleak. We have seen footage posted online by official channels appearing to show several bodies covered in dust in the small village. This is a village with a population of a few hundred. It sits in the North Eastern part of region, 30 kilometres from the front line.

We have seen russia target cities in the east countless times before but seems be the single biggest loss of life from a Missile Strike we have seen in several months. The strike on the
