Hello and welcome to start your week on a Tuesday for a change.

It's a bank holiday of Parliament's in recess, but there's plenty happening.

It's the 100th birthday today of Miles Davis, the 60th birthday of Helena Bonham Carter and Zola Bud, and Jeremy Corbyn is 77. Also, it's Mother's Day in Poland, so imagine that joint party. I'm Andrew Harrison, and here to guide us through the stories that are going to shape the next six days is Ros Taylor. Hello, Ros, how are you? I'm good. Thank you. It's slightly hot, but yeah.

Yeah, you haven't boiled to death yet then. Not quite. It's come close, but I've managed to fend it off so far with damp towels and fans and all the rest of it.

There you again. Well, we've just been through the hottest May Day yet recorded.

34 degrees centigrade in London. Hottest May Day ever in Wales 34 degrees centigrade in London.

Hottest May Day ever in Wales.

Scotland and Northern Ireland had their hottest days of the year so far.

But this time, Ross, it's very much not a few what a Scotcher-style, you know, Johnny

Tabloid response.

It's been very disturbing.

Yeah.

It's been shocking, I think, for some people. The way the records have been

broken, it's far more than a record is normally broken by. Normally a record is broken by

0.1, 0.2 degrees each time. This time, it's over 2 degrees hotter than it's ever been in May.

And I think June even before in this country, and it's hard to

get your head round. And as I was walking around yesterday, I was thinking, this can't be May. This is,

this is July or early August. It's not possible. Yeah. Well, the latest European state of the climate report

says that Europe is the world's fastest warming continent. Heat waves

are becoming more and more frequent and more intense. And obviously, we haven't seen the hottest

yet because July and August are yet to come. Do you think we're finally reaching a popular

understanding that extreme heat isn't just like, you know, hey, it's summer, I have a Salero.
