Highs of more than 40C (104F) are expected across parts of western France on Monday, with temperatures expected to hit 42C in Bordeaux, forecaster Météo-France said. We speak to BBC Weather and our reporter in France. The British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has resigned, ending months of speculation about his future, just two years after his landslide election victory. We look at what happens next, and get reaction from foreign correspondents in London. And we get an update on the World Cup from our sports correspondent. Presenter: Rahul Tandon.
