Met Office forecasters have issued a rare red weather warning for England, with temperatures potentially reaching 40C (104F) in some places. Europe is also dealing with a debilitating heatwave, with schools closed, trains cancelled and France even restricting the consumption of alcohol outdoors to take pressure off the emergency services.

Another Week, Another Trump Lie? Here's What's Actually Happening Trump says one thing. Reality says another. As a new week begins, some things have become remarkably predictable: more claims, more contradictions, more attacks, and more headlines surrounding Donald Trump. On today's Karel Cast, we look at three stories raising serious questions: • The controversy surrounding the blue-painted Reflecting Pool and claims about vandalism. • The continuing conflict involving Iran and questions about whether peace efforts have actually produced results. • The ongoing debate over Air Force One, including the luxury aircraft provided by Qatar and the millions spent modifying it. Whether you support Donald Trump or oppose him, one question remains: when statements from public officials conflict with documented facts, who should Americans believe? We'll separate rhetoric from reality and examine what the media, government records, and public statements actually show.
