An unprecedented heatwave affecting much of western Europe in the last couple of days has seen a series of all time temperature highs. More than ninety million people are grappling with the punishing temperatures. We go to France where they recorded the hottest day in history.

And we report on the World Cup Football tournament. Scotland now wait nervously to see if they qualify to the next round and South Africa won against South Korea.
