Red heat alerts have been issued in France, Spain and other nations across western and central Europe as heatwave conditions are forecast to intensify in the coming days with highs of more than 40C. Sir Keir Starmer has said he will quit as Labour Party leader, paving the way for a contest to decide a new prime minister. And we speak to Curacao's Goalkeeper Eloy Room. He made a record-breaking 15 saves as Curacao kept Ecuador out to earn a 0-0 draw. Presenters: Rob Young and Anne Soy. (Photo: A man cools off in a fountain in Cordoba, Spain.Credit: Salas/EPA).
