Thank you Rita.

Hello and good evening.

Coming up in the next half hour.

How is the capital coping in swelting temperatures on the hottest June day on record?

Measures are in place across London to help keep people safe.

Extreme heat can be dangerous.

We're being really proactive and preventative, understanding the risks that's involved and we are really out there protecting the most vulnerable,

especially people who are sleeping rough.

And with this very hot and exceptionally humid weather expected to continue for the next few days,

the red weather warning for extreme heat has been extended until midnight tomorrow night.

When can we expect it to get any cooler?

Also ahead tonight, the Met Police announces plans to expand its use of drones to every London borough to help respond to 999 calls.

And not struggling but flourishing in the June sun.

Is business booming for vineyards?

Welcome to the programme.

It's great to have you with us on what has been the hottest June day on record

and the red warning for extreme heat that's currently in place for London has now been extended until midnight tomorrow.

It means there's a risk to life, even for people who are normally fit and healthy, and disruption to infrastructure.

London Ambulance say they've been responding to an increasing number of calls in what they describe as an exceptional heatwave

and have got 400 extra crews on the roads this week to help deal with the impact of the heat.

Here's Leila Hayes.

Daybreak over London and the temperatures already rising.

The extreme heat, a challenge for those experiencing homelessness.

But at this centre in Ilford, there is much needed shelter and hydration, something that can be life-saving.

Extreme heat can be dangerous.

Here in Redbridge, we're being really proactive and preventative,

understanding the risks that's involved and we are really out there protecting the most vulnerable especially people who are sleeping rough.

Thank God for a place like this.

Chakwabuka has been homeless for months and is grateful to get out of the heat.

Have a shower, dress properly and and have some cold children.

It's like a sanctuary.

It's like a sanctuary because it gives us hope.

The heat wave means at this hostel they're now putting out more beds to get people off the streets.

Normally these beds are put out in extreme cold weather

but they're now being used so that rough sleepers can come inside and get out of the heat emergency ambulances, the patient breathing.

At the London Ambulance Service, calls are up and they've put 400 extra crews on the road this week.

But there are concerns about those working in extreme temperatures.

What temperature is your office?

My office is 35 degrees.

These videos of a London bus driver struggling in the heat

both last summer and this year have gone viral and unions now want a maximum working temperature.

36.6.

Our members are telling us that conditions on the buses are really uncomfortable.

Some operators might try and install fans to try and circulate air to try and give the illusion of cooling,

but that doesn't always work and they're not very robust machines.

Soaring temperatures mean many Londoners are finding it difficult to cope.

We've already had the hottest June day on record and there's more heat to come.

Leila Hayes, BBC London.

OK, let's get more now on the ongoing impact of this heatwave, which has caused significant disruption in the capital, as we've heard.

And we can join Asad, who's on the roof.

Hi there.

Yeah, the impact has been very widespread, Riz.

Exactly 50 years ago, when I was at primary school back in 1976, hundreds of schools closed because of the hot weather then.

Schools closed in 2022 as well, but hundreds of schools once again closed today like it did 50 years ago in 76,

and they will remain closed tomorrow.

Tourism has also been affected.

The very popular changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle,

that was cancelled this morning and tomorrow's captain's inspection at 3pm at Buckingham Palace,

that's not going ahead either because of the anticipated hot weather.

Tower Bridge, that closed to tourists.

And in south-east London, the Cutty Sark and the Royal Observatory were closed today and again will be closed tomorrow.

Now, the Royal Observatory sits within a Royal Park, Greenwich Park.

I was there this morning and it was noticeably quieter than usual this morning.

You had dog walkers out.

Obviously, dogs have to be walked.

You had the odd insane run.

I couldn't believe there were people jogging in the park but it was much much quieter than normal.

As far as travel is concerned we've had the figures in

and at 9am this morning it was quieter in central London than it was this time last week.

On the trains the railways have advised people to only make essential journeys if absolutely necessary.

Well, my colleague, Nicky Ford, came in from Harpenden to central London today and she spoke to passengers about their journey in.

Looking at the train board, there's a fair few services cancelled, including my usual train.

Where are you trying to get to?

I'm trying to get to Fraddingdon.

What's your reaction looking at that train board?

Going to be late for work.

Fewer trains

and the weather has also affected orders at the drinks kiosk

kiosk what people buying today you're usually busy aren't you yeah not too much people usually buy

in other days easily buy coffee and tea

but today yesterday uh they are always asking for water well i'm on a train it's a slow one

but it is a train into london and it's quite busy

people coming in from the airport as well as people on

their way to work too where are you traveling today emma

just into st tackers what why are you going to london

i have to be in the office still we have work events as well um

so despite the weather i still need to go to the office we've arrived at king's cross st pancras

so how was the journey for people it was okay actually the thames link's pretty good it's got aircon

so did you get affected by the cancellations uh not today

but i had to plan ahead just to make sure i

got the right one elsewhere king's cross was busy with people coming

and going in all directions i'm returning to boston okay

so you're You're travelling around London on the trains and tubes, aren't you?

Yeah, I was in the tube yesterday and today.

And how is it?

It was fine.

I think it was hot, but it wasn't as hot as, you know, Boston or New York City can get.

So it was bearable.

It's not what one expects for London, but it was OK.

100

I'm coming from Perkham, so I'm coming to the Francis Creek.

101

Unfortunately, I had an experiment I can't miss today, so I had to come in.

102

Because they're advising against non-essential travel, aren't you?

103

Yeah, yeah.

104

You've got an experiment.

105

Yeah, so yeah, it was an interesting journey.

106

Got the bus from Peckham to Elephant and Castle, and then Elephant and Castle train.

107

So yeah, it's been a journey.

108

And the bus was hot, wasn't it?

109

Yeah, very hot.

110

What did that feel like?

111

Oh, it's like 40 degrees.

112

It feels like I'm back to South Africa all over again.

113

For others, a chance to escape somewhere a little cooler.

114

Where are you going today, Claire?

115

I'm going to Brighton to go to the beach.

116

And if you've got a day off, what a good idea.

117

What a nice thing to do, yeah.

118

Are you looking forward to it?

119

Yes, I'm really looking forward to it.

120

Nikki Ford, BBC London.

121

Thanks to people there sharing the experience of their journeys

122

and thanks to viewers getting in touch through your voice about the impact of this heatwave.

123

It's been particularly uncomfortable for people living in hot homes as

124

residents in a 23-storey block in Canary Wharf have been telling us.

125

They've been forced to use the stairs after the lift broke down

126

and have been sharing their story with our reporter, Chris Legg.

127

Royal Captain Court in Tower Hamlets, 23 floors high.

128

All the lifts have been broken for nearly three days, leaving the residents to take the stairs in a heatwave.

129

Sahil lives on the 14th floor.

130

It's boiling just for you to climb up a couple of storeys and you start sweating and there's no ventilation, or proper ventilation in the stairwells.

131

It's a health and safety issue more than anything, and just the management should think of us as humans who are trying to live by in this heat.

132

New parents John and Sarah have to carry baby Sienna to the ninth floor.

133

So for the last two and a half days we've been scrambling up and down the stairs in the heat.

134

It's just been awful really.

135

It's so difficult obviously carrying the baby and the buggy on my own a lot.

136

I had to call you home from the office to help me.

137

We were invited into the block by second floor resident Christian.

138

How's this impacting you?

139

It's impacting too much.

140

You can see the situation right now.

141

It's a 24, 23 floor building.

142

No lift is working last 72 hours.

143

This lift issue is happening last six years.

144

We are just struggling.

145

We have many kids in this building, many pets in this building, elder people are staying in this building, and we are just struggling.

146

Everyone is struggling.

147

The housing provider here is a company called Sanctuary, and they've told us they're sorry about the issue

148

that has put all three lifts in a 23-floor building out of action in a heat wave.

149

They say they're working hard to resolve the issue as soon as possible,

150

but many of the residents here tell us they're yet to receive any explanation or apology.

151

Residents like new mum Kleanta and family who live on the 17th floor.

152

It's the hottest day in London for the year and we have had no support.

153

Sanctuary is well aware of what they are required to do

154

when there is an emergency in the building and when we don't have essential services like a lift.

155

They have not reached out.

156

We have not had people reach out if we are OK to provide supplies, if there's help needed up and down the building.

157

Those who live here need the temperatures to come down and the lifts to go up as soon as possible.

158

Chris Sleg, BBC London.

159

You can see how they're affected there.

160

Well, if you've been impacted by these record temperatures, whether it's work, school or getting to an important appointment, do let us know.

161

You can share your stories through your voice or just scan the QR code, it's come up there, on your screen to send us a WhatsApp.

162

Or as usual, you can drop us an email at hellobbclondon at bbc.co.uk.

163

Now today we learned the Met Police plans to expand its

164

use of drones to every London borough to help respond to 999 calls.

165

Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley made the announcement at a speech today

166

where he called for police chiefs to have more freedom in using new technology.

167

He was also asked about the recent deal with a controversial US tech firm that was blocked by the mayor.

168

Our Home Affairs correspondent Sonia Jessup has more.

169

Serving as eyes in the skies above London, police drones are able to follow suspects on the ground and help officers track them down.

170

So we're currently up the street following the cyclist going past the shopping centre.

171

Last October, the Met showed us how it was piloting this technology in Islington.

172

Next year, they want to roll it out across London and share a network with other emergency services.

173

They're getting there within two minutes.

174

What that means is if you're an officer on the way to an incident, and officers are normally there maybe sort of eight, nine, ten minutes after the call, you're already getting a video feed.

175

You know what's going on there.

176

You can ask for more resources or actually stand down because there's not something happening.

177

In a speech today at the Olympic Park, the Commissioner called for more freedom for police chiefs to use such technology.

178

Some campaign groups call for new legislation and restrictions every time a new capability emerges.

179

Whilst I know that comes from a legitimate place, it risks slowing progress to the point where policing cannot keep pace with the criminals or the threats that we face.

180

The Met recently won a High Court challenge over its expanding use of live facial recognition, which privacy and civil rights campaigners have raised concerns over.

181

Well, some will say policing by consent, particularly for a force trying to restore public trust over the last few years,

182

is absolutely why that scrutiny accountability is required. So trust is important.

183

Trust is, technology is actually generating more trust.

184

I'd sort of flip around your question.

185

We're seeing that 80% plus of the public support technologies like drones and facial recognition.

186

The survey work that has been done for today shows that the public want us to adopt more technology.

187

They want us to be cutting edge because they can see how it will help them protect the communities.

188

What the commissioner had less to say on today was the £50 million tech deal recently blocked by the mayor's office.

189

So the Met wanted to do a deal with the US firm Palantir.

190

Palantir, it's been piloting some of its AI technology to do things like speed up investigations.

191

The mayor blocked that deal, saying he wasn't satisfied it was value for money.

192

The commissioner warned as a result he may have to make cuts to frontline services.

193

Have you got any more detail on that?

194

I've got nothing more to say on that.

195

So the facts are out there.

196

Regardless of a different opinion on that, we're both committed to doing the best policing possible in London and using technology to do that.

197

But there's no more detail on what potentially you might be looking at, just for people who might be concerned about that.

198

No, we're working through that together.

199

The mayor said today he's backing the Met's use of technology.

200

Flowering, if flowering doesn't go successful, you're seasoned stuffed, basically.

201

And does the heat contribute to that?

202

It does.

203

The Met office said that last summer was the hottest on record, with four heatwaves.

204

The first in early June saw temperatures reach around 33 degrees.

205

Well, here today, we're expecting temperatures of around 36 degrees.

206

But what does that mean for the vines?

207

When you have vines, what they do is they retain energy from previous years.

208

So last year was a really, really good year.

209

So that energy will go into the production of grapes for this year, which means you're more likely to get the same level of quality,

210

but a higher yield.

211

Is the increase in heat allowing Britain to compete with the more established wine markets?

212

Very much so.

213

The French have been buying land in England, in Kent, I believe, to plant and make their champagne style, make their sparkling wines.

214

So while not everyone will be happy with this heat, it is helping British vineyards have their moment in the sun.

215

Matt Graveling, BBC London.

216

OK, time for that all-important check on the weather now with Kate, who's joined us.

217

Your moment.

218

Yes, it's still very hot.

219

You probably all realise This was probably the coolest moment of today.

220

First thing this morning, a little misty, but even last night wasn't exceptionally cool at all.

221

It was stayed around 20 Celsius.

222

Now, today, the hottest June day on record.

223

For the southeast, it was Wisley, 36 Celsius.

224

But in England, it was Gosport, which incidentally was where I was in 1976, 36.1 Celsius there.

225

So it did break that June record.

226

Now, as we head through the rest of this week, they've still got the red weather warning in place.

227

That's valid until midnight tomorrow, covering most of London.

228

The east of London is covered by that amber warning, which will continue right the way through to Saturday.

229

Now, overnight, it is hot.

230

It's humid.

231

It's perhaps a degree less hot than last night, but it is still unnoticeably cooler.

232

Temperatures 21 Celsius.

233

It is still deemed a tropical night.

234

It's another warm start tomorrow, but a little bit different.

235

We've got high pressure.

236

Around the outside is a little bit of a shift in wind direction.

237

So for us here in London, the temperature tomorrow is unlikely to be as hot as it is today.

238

It's still hot, just not as hot as today with that breeze coming in.

239

So temperatures out along the Essex coast, high 20s, central London at around 32.

240

It will be further south and west where those warmer temperatures are at around 35 Celsius.

241

Now, that amber warning in place, that covers the whole of the region.

242

Once the red one expires tomorrow night, that amber one is still in force.

243

So it is still going to be extremely hot.

244

In fact, Friday is going to be hotter than tomorrow.

245

We've got the air coming from the south again, or the breeze coming from the south.

246

So temperatures likely to get back up into the mid-30s, 34 or 35 Celsius.

247

Those hotter temperatures shifting that little bit further east once more.

248

So it's not over yet night time still uncomfortable.

249

We'll get a little fresher, though, by the end of the weekend.

250

Riz?

251

A relief for some.

252

Kate, many thanks as always.

253

And that is it.

254

On our Instagram, hear how Harry Kane's former teacher describes the England captain when he was at secondary school, both on and off the pitch.

255

Thanks very much for watching and have a lovely evening.

256

Stay cool.
