Charged quote PM chairs emergency Cobra meeting over extreme heat and wildfires
The area hit by the blaze, which started after a van caught fire on the nearby A31, is protected heathland and home to a number of rare species. Our correspondent, Lauren Moss, has more.

But they say they're going to be here for many days yet. OK, thanks John. Councils across Britain are getting more powers to limit the spread of what the government describes as dodgy businesses.

And indeed, what we are announcing today has been shaped by what has been revealed. We need the strongest possible neighbourhood policing with all agencies involved to rip out the criminal behaviour that is going on, that is pulling places down. The big question is what difference will these new powers, new laws make?

also approved a pill version of a similar weight loss drug, Wegovy, in June.

from the American president on this? That's right, yes. It's now a fortnight since details of Gianni Infantino's proposals emerged, proposals he scrapped after a huge backlash. But as you say, this is the first time we've heard from Donald Trump on the subject of Gianni Infantino's future. In a statement on social media,

with the first ever FIFA Peace Prize. Also worth noting that Infantino's plans were going to involve a company run by Joshua Kushner, who is the brother of Donald Trump's son-in-law.

when the White House said he was flying aboard the presidential jet Air Force One. The ruse involved hiding the president in a catering vehicle to transport him to another aircraft to evade a possible Iranian assassination threat.

don't even know where he was. No one on the plane, staff or media, knew that he wasn't actually flying onboard this aircraft. So essentially, we're being used as decoys because of this unspecified Iranian threat and I think in the coming days, there'll be lots of questions asked about whether the White House

Charged quote Over quarter of children leave primary school unable to swim 25 metres
Now, when temperatures rise, lots of us decide to take a dip in order to cool off. But there are signs that a worrying number of children can't swim with confidence.

which is incredibly important because it means if they can float, then they can shout for help, and that few minutes that they're floating can be the difference between life and death.
