Pochin claimed the Reform leader had received the gift before he was in politics. Debbonaire, who tried to interject several times, refuted the claim, saying: 'You have been interrupting me all night, Sarah, and now you’re just talking rubbish.'

France has recorded its hottest day since records began in 1947, breaking a record set a day earlier, as an early summer heatwave grips western Europe. France’s national temperature indicator - an average of day and night temperatures across dozens of locations - hit 30C, up from 29.8C a day earlier.

In the UK a red heat alert is in place for large areas of England, with a temperature of 36.1C recorded in Hampshire, the highest ever recorded in June. Forecasters predict temperatures could soon hit 38C.

The heatwave has caused deaths and serious disruption, particularly in France, Spain and Italy and is spreading to other parts of western Europe, with a new orange alert for dangerous weather in place for parts of the Netherlands.

Temperatures are expected to peak in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany in the next few days, with the heatwave also forecast to affect eastern Europe, where severe heat warnings have been issued in Poland, Croatia and Hungary.

Climate change is driving up temperatures around the world - but particularly in Europe - which some experts believe is heating up twice as fast as the global average.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor appears to have knowingly shared confidential information with Jeffrey Epstein when, as Prince Andrew, he was a UK trade envoy.

Emails seen by the BBC from the recently released Epstein files show Mr Mountbatten-Windsor apparently passing on details of investment and trade opportunities to the convicted sex offender.

The emails were sent in 2010, at a time when Andrew later claimed he had cut off contact with Epstein. Official guidance says trade envoys have a duty of confidentiality, with sensitive commercial or political information.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been contacted for comment by the BBC but has not responded.

The UK terrorism threat level has been raised to "severe", meaning an attack is "highly likely" in the next six months.

Two Jewish men - Shloime Rand, 34, and Moshe Shine, 76 - were stabbed in Golders Green, north London, on Wednesday, in an attack police have declared as a terrorist incident.

The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre said the increase follows yesterday's stabbings, but "is not solely a result of that attack".

Chancellor Rachel Reeves said in an exclusive interview with the BBC that any Labour leadership contest would "plunge the country into chaos".

It comes as Angela Rayner, seen as a potential challenger to PM Keir Starmer, was cleared by HMRC of wrongdoing over her tax affairs after settling £40,000 in unpaid stamp duty, saying she had been "exonerated" of the accusation she had "deliberately sought to avoid tax".

On Wednesday, allies of Health Secretary Wes Streeting said they expected him to launch a challenge as soon as today.

The extreme heatwave has beat records in the UK, caused hundreds of deaths in Europe, and shut down two nuclear reactors in France. Is this the new abnormal?

Temperatures in the UK hit another record high, reaching 36.4C and breaking Wednesday’s record for the hottest ever June day.

NHS trusts have declared critical incidents, a hosepipe ban is in force in Kent, schools are closing early and the Met Office warned of "significant disruption to daily life".

Extreme temperatures have swept through large parts of western Europe too, with Paris soaring to more than 40C. French police have imposed a ban on drinking alcohol in public from midday Friday.

The UN said the "savage heatwave" showed what the climate crisis looked like in practice, warning "it's just getting started".

Keir Starmer says under-16s will be banned from social media by spring 2027.

"A full ban is the right choice... I am not prepared to compromise on the safety and happiness of our children," Starmer said in a televised statement.

Police officers have been deployed across South Africa because of fears that anti-immigration protests could turn violent as President Cyril Ramaphosa urged those planning to take part to do so without "intimidation, threats or ultimatums".

The planned protests mark an unofficial deadline set by campaigners for all undocumented foreigners to leave the country.

Many have already fled to escape violence and intimidation. South African police said 25,000 have been repatriated so far. Most are from other African countries.
