About this episode

Climate change report warns of more extreme heat, droughts and flooding.

Professor Ed Hawkins, one of the report’s authors, talks us through the findings.

Wildfires are spreading in Greece and Turkey. Our reporter, Bethany Bell, is on the Greek island of Evia, where more than 2,000 people have been evacuated.

And back home, lockdown rules in Scotland and Wales have mostly been lifted, but there’s confusion over where (and when) to wear masks. Lorna Gordon and Hywel Griffiths help us clear it up.

Today’s Newscast was made by Maz Ebtehaj with Alix Pickles and Danny Wittenberg. The Studio Director was Emma Crowe. Sam Bonham is the Assistant Editor.
