In parts of western canada, its hotter than the deserts in dubai. Whats all the more remarkable is it still early summer. Its the result of a heat dome, a huge amount of a heat dome, a huge amount of High Pressure which has settled across the region, and to give you one measure among many, Litton In British Colombia reached 47. 5 degrees celsius, and that broken 84 old record.

Its forecast this prolonged, dangerous and historic heatwave will persist through this week. Backin will persist through this week. Back in british columbia, if you go down to the pool today, you go down to the pool today, you are sure of the big surprise, as meteorologists warn these Weather Events are likely to become more and more frequent. If you can bear it. Amazing pictures, arent they . 0ur Guest is a Weather Specialist and tv presenter. She joins us now from toronto. Hotter than everfor she joins us now from toronto. Hotter than ever for longer than ever, earlier than ever. How are you coping . Than ever, earlier than ever. How are you coping . Oh, you know, canadians how are you coping . Oh, you know, canadians are how are you coping . Oh, you | know, canadians are warriors. We are warriors in the north, and honestly, we know how to brief four true seasons. We are so lucky to have four true seasons. This is set to be one hot summer, underwriting a little earlier than anticipated. Im in toronto, so more so central, eastern canada, but Coast To Coast To coast we are seeing widespread heat, and this heat actually arriving quite early. Its not an oddity to see this kind of heat at this point in the calendar year, heat at this point in the calendaryear, but heat at this point in the calendar year, but more sojuly and august, that true summer heat. Wejust and august, that true summer heat. We just ushered and august, that true summer heat. Wejust ushered in and august, that true summer heat. We just ushered in the somersault is on during the 20th, Sojust Eight Somersault is on during the 20th, so just eight days ago, and we have been engulfed by this Area Must the summer solstice. And we aint seen nothing yet. Solstice. And we aint seen nothing yet solstice. And we aint seen nothing yet. Thats worrying. We are beginning nothing yet. Thats worrying. We are beginning to nothing yet. Thats worrying. We are beginning to learn i nothing yet. Thats worrying. I we are beginning to learn about this heat dome. Can you explain it in simple terms for us . Sure. Just imagine you are inside, watching, lets say, a football match. You are in a actual stadium, a dome, and the overhead is closed. The air is unable to evaporate, the Freshener Cannot arrive, the Hot Air Cannot dissipate nothing can really move in and out. The fresh air. Its a circulation of really warm air, and you start to feel your body temperature rise. You could develop heat related illnesses, even if you are the most healthy person. You definitely need that ridge. Its kind of locked over british columbia, over saskatchewan, over the Alberta Region as well and up towards the yukon and northwest territories. We need that really locked in, rigid hot air and High Pressure, to slowly begin to break and then evaporate. Really the only way we can see that happen as once we can see that happen as once we get a bit of Summer Storms roaring through, low pressure versus High Pressure. Its a fight right now, but High Pressure is winning. Its pressure is winning. Its prolonged. Pressure is winning. Its prolonged, isnt pressure is winning. Its prolonged, isnt it . Pressure is winning. Its prolonged, isnt it . Thats where the Health Risk kicks in. What are you telling people about whats happening . Weve had lovely pictures of people enjoying the sunshine, but theres a real Health Element here. Absolutely. Your wealth is your health. Without health, you have nothing else. So i always alert my view as my followers make sure you hydrate before you dehydrate. This is the season when you want to listen to your body. The body never lies. If you feel your feet dragging or you are getting woozy or lightheaded, you want to venture out away from the heat and inside, where you can kind of beat the heat in a cooler environment. Ice cream is also a good one. But nice cold beverages, and we have lakes here in ontario. The Bodies Of Water are actually still very cool water are actually still very cool. Some people are calling it frigid today. So its been a joy it frigid today. So its been a Joy Tojump in it frigid today. So its been a joy to jump in those bodies it frigid today. So its been a Joy Tojump in those Bodies Of Water and really rapidly cool down. Youve got to find the best ways to beat the heat. With temperatures like that, you certainly have. Patricia, thank you very much indeed. The Rescue Work in miami is proving to be desperately slow going. One more body has been recovered from the rubble of a collapsed apartment building. It brings the number of confirmed dead from the disaster to 11. But 151 people are still missing following last thursdays disaster. Rescue crews have been using cranes, dogs and infrared scanners to help identify any survivors. The bbc� s Sophie Long is on the scene and sent us this update. Well, you can see the Rescue Operation continuing behind me. It is in day five now. Search and rescue teams during that time have been using dogs, theyve been using drones, sonars and infrared scanners, and theyve yet to find any sign of life since the first survivors were pulled from the wreckage in the hours immediately after the collapse. Now, we are told by the authorities that it remains very much a Search And Rescue that it remains very much a search and Rescue Operation and it will continue to be that indefinitely, but while there is still hope that there could be people alive in there, it will be a painstakingly slow operation. They have large cranes lifting big slabs of concrete away from the twisted metal, but they have to be extremely careful so they dont dislodge anything else. Now, this is an agonising time for the families of those who lived in those apartments. Some of them have been brought here by bus so they could be closer to the operation. Some said prayers, others held a vigil, but it also gave them a better understanding of the operation that is taking place. But they are, of course, desperate for news, notjust for news of their Loved Ones but also for answers about how this possibly could have happened. Lets get some of the days other news. Belarus has said it is suspending a Partnership Agreement with the european union, in the wake of a continuing row over the arrest of the Opposition Journalist Roman protasevich. The move comes after the eu announced Trade Sanctions on parts of the belarus economy. Belarus has recalled its ambassador to the eu for consulations. The ethiopian government has declared a ceasefire in the countrys northern Tigray Region eight months after prime Minister Abiy ahmed sent troops to oust its leadership. The announcement came after Tigrayan Rebel forces said they were back in control of the regional capital mekelle, and witnesses reported seeing federal Security Forces flee from the city. The E Cigarette Makerjuul has agreed to pay 40 Million to the state of North Carolina to settle a lawsuit accusing it of marketing its products to minors. Its the first deal reached by the company with a us state government. In the lawsuit North Carolina said the company downplayed the potential harm its products can cause, fueling an epidemic of vaping among minors. Juul still faces 2000 other lawsuits. The second wave of Coronavirus To Hit India had a devastating impact. But while Infection Rates are slowing significantly, the country is now grappling with more than Forty Thousand cases of a fungal infection called mucormycosis. The disease has been declared an epidemic in india. Thousands have died of it. For it has led to this surge. Doctors say covid and the treatment being given for it has led to this surge. From a public hospital in pune, one of the worst affected districts, our India Correspondent Yogita Limaye reports. Covid has left behind in india a new epidemic mucormycosis. A fungus that attacks parts of the brain, face and lungs. Not contagious, but aggressive. It is known to kill half of those it infects. Doctors say covid and the steroids used to save people from it have left them vulnerable to the fungus. Surgeons have to remove infected parts. Shivaji veer lost one of his eyes. Translation iml grateful to be alive. But i had to take a big loan to buy medicines. I used to drive school buses, but i cant do that now. At this public hospital, there were not more than three cases a year. Now, there are five every day. Dr Aniket Lathi says he was in disbelief initially when the surge hit. Covid is leaving such a big trail behind of mucormycosis. And they do not fill up the beds only for a day or two. They are here to stay with us for at least one month, one and a half months. The injection needed to treat a rare disease, expensive and hard to find. With covid and mucormycosis, indias stretched Healthcare Facilities have had no respite. Just a small percentage of the population has been vaccinated so far, and government experts are warning a third surge could be here in less than a couple of months. 0utside these walls, people are yet to come to terms with the trauma that hit them during the second wave. Siddharth kharadi was 19. He got covid and then mucormycosis. His family says it wasnt diagnosed early enough to save him. He was such a caring son. I really miss him, his mother, suvarna, tells me. Siddharth underwent multiple operations. The family sold their jewellery to pay hospital bills. His father, sandeep kharadi, says, sometimes i still dont understand where this illness came from. It destroyed our home and took our son from us. Its left us with a lifetime of sorrow. Yogita limaye, bbc news, pune. The United States says it is carried out Air Strikes against militias in Iraq And Syria in retaliation for attacks on us personnel and facilities in iraq. Border guards are at least four militiamen were killed. In response us forces in syria were targeted by multiple rockets. No injuries were reported there, though. Iran has long sought influence through political and military proxies. Tensions with the us seem to be complicating attempts to revive the international nuclear deal. Behnam Ben Taleblu is a Senior Fellow at the Think Tank Foundation for defense of democracies, where he focuses on the middle east. Thanks forjoining us. Its not that new for some attacks, at least, On American Facilities and personnel. What do you think is going on here . Its and personnel. What do you think is going on here . Its a Pleasure Think is going on here . Its a pleasure to think is going on here . Its a pleasure to be think is going on here . Its a pleasure to be with think is going on here . Its a pleasure to be with you. Pleasure to be with you. Theres a lot more of the same going on in places like iraq and less so syria, but an intensification of the same. For instance, if you look at rockets drugs alone, in the past two years there have been 90 separate instances of indirect Rocket Fire at facilities inside iraq alone that are affiliated with the us force presence. Many of these facilities are in diplomatic facilities are in diplomatic facilities inside the green zone, housing other embassies, multinational entities and things of that nature, so there is always a chance of a larger follow up beyond the us, but militias inside are trying to use these drone strikes to get the cycle of violence to ultimately push for the objection of america from iraq and ultimately the region. Irate and ultimately the region. We not the and ultimately the region. We got the iran and ultimately the region. We got the Iran Nuclear Arrangement being renegotiated almost as we speak. Its hard to imagine that not playing into it somewhere. Would you agree with that . I into it somewhere. Would you agree with that . Agree with that . I certainly think it does, agree with that . I certainly think it does, and agree with that . I certainly think it does, and in agree with that . I certainly think it does, and in terms| agree with that . I certainly i think it does, and in terms of us policy, it should play into it. Howeverthat us policy, it should play into it. However that administration has taken a rather narrow nuclear first or, shall we say common nuclear uber alles approach, firstly trying to resurrect the deal and then trying to deal with regional issues. I think the us is absorbing all this Rocket Fire and absorbing all this Drone Fire from january to pressure, which was a strategic mistake, and this is only the second time the us has used force in response to Rocket Fire into drone attacks. I think it may be too little, too late to send a strong Deterrent Message to some of these militia groups iran hopes to leverage at the battlefield as well as to create a stronger impression of result at the negotiating table. , � , table. Thats interesting, because table. Thats interesting, because along table. Thats interesting, because along with table. Thats interesting, because along with the i because along with the airstrikes come fairly firm words from anthony billington, for example we will not tolerate these attacks. Where do you think this is going to go . If you use language like that, presumably you have to keep delivering on it. Keep delivering on it. Indeed ou do, keep delivering on it. Indeed you do. And keep delivering on it. Indeed you do, and this keep delivering on it. Indeed you do, and this is keep delivering on it. Indeed you do, and this is in keep delivering on it. Indeed you do, and this is in some l you do, and this is in some ways a bipartisan foreign policy failure. The Trump Administration used similar rhetoric, perhaps with different means, of course, willing to take different risks like killing irans chief terrorist, the head of them soria � s force which controls this proxy groups. But at least it means the us is willing to sink more costs and time into challenging them. The challenge is there is a great Chasm Or Gap between the rhetoric and the reality on the ground in iraq. The reality is they are packing up or worried about their Staying Power and seeing their Staying Power and seeing the threat of iran under diverse, capable and increasingly more lethal proxy network. � , network.

Facebook� s Stock Market Value has surged to more than a trillion dollars for the first time, after a us judge threw out a case accusing the firm of abusing its market dominance. The judge said the federal Trade Commission had failed to show that facebook had monopoly power. Lets speak to our North America correspondent, peter bowes whos in los angeles. Can you explain how the case was established . I assume for buying up platforms like Whatsapp And Instagram to shut out the opposition, was that the idea . It out the opposition, was that the idea . Out the opposition, was that the idea . ,. , the idea . It goes back to the acquisition the idea . It goes back to the acquisition of the idea . It goes back to the acquisition of both the idea . It goes back to the acquisition of both of the idea . It goes back to the acquisition of both of those L Acquisition of both of those apps. Instagram and then whatsapp and the argument, there were two lawsuits related, one was from the federal Trade Commission the otherfrom a coalition federal Trade Commission the other from a coalition of 45 states around the country, arguing that facebook was operating as a monopoly, that it was anti competition, in effect, operating against the law. Facebook has said that these lawsuits were nonsensical and it seems the judge in this case agrees that there is no case. He did not say nonsensical but he said that as far as the federal Trade Commission was concerned they simply had not provided the evidence that facebook, as a social media company, was dominating the social Media Landscape so much that it was a monopoly. And as far as the states claim, Facebook Instagram and whatsapp should be broken up and thejudge Instagram And Whatsapp should be broken up and the judge said that this happened a long time ago. Was almost a decade ago and if they had a case they should have brought the lawsuit earlier. He did not completely throughout these cases. He gave the federal Trade Commission an extra month to restate its case and try again. So while facebook may be celebrating, certainly from the value of the stocks over the last few hours, this may return. This may return. That is an interesting this may return. That is an interesting point. This may return. That is an interesting point. He this may return. That is an i interesting point.

Clearly that sums up the general response. Thejudge clearly that sums up the general response. The judge was quite colourful and what he was saying to explain his point of view. Ultimately anti Trust Action is based on public Opinion City he said before the launch of the Apple Watch and when ebola was the virus dominating the headlines. It did happen some time ago and perhaps the social Media Landscape has changed since then. , , landscape has changed since then. , then. Nonetheless i suppose from a facebook then.

Because as considerable celebration. Yes. Because as we considerable celebration. Yes. Because as we well considerable celebration. Yes. Because as we well know, because as we well know, facebook has been under considerable pressure from all directions. It is interesting that one of these lawsuit was a coalition of 45 us states. And that includes republican and democratic state that if this is not a political issue and there is still a tremendous amount of pressure and strong opinion in this country that facebook is too big and that big tech generally is overreaching and perhaps it should be brought down a peg or two. Clearly these lawsuit� s are not going to achieve that. Thank you very much, peter. An update now on Mondays Action at euro 2020, where we saw the upset of the tournament so far.

Hello. Best place for the drier and sunnier weather during the first part of this week certainly in scotland and northern ireland. Over the Blue Skies out in the highlands on monday, temperatures lift to a very pleasant 25 celsius. And we will see similar sorts of temperatures in southern scotland on tuesday. England and wales, though, it has been a different story. Lots more cloud. And into tuesday, the same area of low pressure that brought The Cloud on monday revolving around. It keeps the temperatures up as we start the day. So, again, mid teens, quite a humid start, whereas clearer skies into scotland, northern ireland, northern england. Single figure temperatures to start the day. But here, some sunny spells, but a few changes. Bit more cloud to the north and the west of scotland, later into northern ireland, drifting in. A damp start for parts of northwest england, wales and the southwest, but brightening up here to sunny spells. But through the midlands, East Anglia and other southern counties of england, The Cloud will be there, always the threat of some showers, maybe the odd heavy and thundery one, and cooler to East Anglia and the southeast in recent days. Cumbria and across parts of western scotland, 24 25 celsius possible. So, for wimbledon on tuesday, it will be cooler. There will be plenty of cloud, but i Cant Promise it will stay dry. Were likely to see showers develop in the nearby areas, which could come along. Same, too, at wembley. Always the chance of some outbreaks of rain as we head into the evening for englands match against germany. And where the showers do form, there is still the chance of the Odd Rumble of thunder. Showers continue into Tuesday Night across parts of the southeast in particular, as well as East Anglia. More of a breeze down those eastern coasts, Feeding Lots of low cloud in further and further westwards. Temperatures for most, though, in double figures. Not as Chilly A Night For Scotland and northern ireland. But on wednesday, we will have a lot more low cloud around to the north and the east of the country, so a bit of a grey day. Still the chance of some rain across East Anglia and the southeast, but for many, it will be dry. Sunshine will develop more widely towards the west, but because of that cloudier start, it will feel a Bit Cooler across parts of Scotland And Northwest england. Then, as we go through wednesday into thursday, our area of low pressure starts to pull away, but it mayjust be close enough to throw in some influence still towards East Anglia and the southeast for thursday. High pressure in the north and the west. A lot more sunshine once again more widely. But eastern counties of england, that cloud, a bit of a breeze, and for East Anglia and the southeast, there could be still the chance of a few showers. Temperatures at their highest in western areas, at around 21 24 celsius. And then through the rest of the week, it looks like by the weekend, showers will develop more widely. See you soon.
