Much of western Europe is under the most extreme red heat alerts – meaning there’s a potential risk to life.
France, Spain and Italy have been hardest hit by the heatwave so far.
But why is it so hot? What can you do to stay safe? And is El Nino to blame?
We answer some of your most asked questions about the heatwave sweeping Europe with our climate and health correspondents.
We’re also joined by our teams in Paris, Madrid and the south of France.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

It's called helicopter, and the reason we didn't use it is because this shit is loud af, all your neighbors will hate you , but if you live middle of no where, why not just helicopter but this

It sounds like a good idea but the noise and the site these things is not appealing. Once you get into the air it is frightening as being in a regular helicopter.

Flaying car is definitely coming to town as the price drops , more and more people are willing to explore new way to commute .
Lack of rules is playing catch up with this new beast

We better hope flying cars don't ever work. Why? Ever live near a freeway? Sucks right? Well if cars can fly, we WILL ALL LIVE UNDER A FREEWAY… Goodbye quiet days on the back deck barbequing… or anything else quiet or private in your yard…

Govt shoud say if ur car runs on batteries and not on fossil fuel & Fly's . Then we will permit it. If not Air gets fucked up in all cities on planet & it would be irreversible damage once such cars are made and allowed.
@PrimiusLovin

Most "flying cars" I've seen are pretty much just prototype airplanes with bigger wheels, road suspension and folding wings and barely resemble a car at all.
And no, I don't think so, "flying cars" will never be a product for the masses, it will always be a niche market (when compared to the automobile) dedicated only to companies and/or to heavily trained professionals governed by very strict security rules and limited to very specific areas (airports, aerodromes).
I'm really not seeing millions of people taking into the skies every morning and landing at the parking lot of their working place, at least not with the technology currently available for aviation!…
@CMAenergy
January 2, 2024 at 3:44 am
This will never come to reality because of arrogant leadership wanting to control society of other countries, Like Putin and ING from China. Just ask yourself why is China and Russia building arms to try to take over the fossil fuel industry.

And where is the world going to get all the lithium to make batteries for cars and aircraft? They are called rare earth metals for a reason. Shhhhhhhhh! Can't get huge government funding if you let that one out of the bag.
@rafarafina
January 2, 2024 at 3:44 am
Nope. Airspace is already congested, and those who are up there are highly trained and even then, they do mistakes. Imagine the average joe flying around in his/her flying VW golf with wings?not happening. Most people cant even handle cars with the maturity and respect for others in the road, imagine in the air…

@shawntravelstheworld911

Flying cars will take off when the wing surface can be minimized to a convenient size. The foot print of conventional aviation is still to big and rotorwing aircraft do not get to take advantage of potential energy stored in things like wind and hot wind.

@freewillfarms2059

I dont believe travel will remain free much longer.
All forms of autonomous automotive transport will be commercially or civically owned in the name of safety.
We will no longer have the ability to go anywhere at anytime on a whim it will be appointment or only public mass transit in urban areas.

nothing about #Lilium? really? they've actually done it, electric, vertical take off, silent, autonomous, the whole thing!
@brianhginc.2140
January 2, 2024 at 3:44 am
They will be just a 'Rich Man's Toy'. When they eventually come, the successful ones will be 100% automatic pilot, vertical take off and landing, and only represent a minuscule spec in numbers compared to regular cars.
@Zak-ob5ze
January 2, 2024 at 3:44 am
No, because why use the roads when you have can fly and a helicopter would not only be more convenient, but cheaper

how about we master self-driving cars before we start working on flying ones
@Zuuby
January 2, 2024 at 3:44 am
Without proper changes to laws and infrastructure, none of this will be wide spread. The same people who use helicopters would use this as they have to follow all the same laws as any other ultralight aircraft.
@johndonaldson5126
January 2, 2024 at 3:44 am
The title of this video is misleading. 3/4 of the video gave examples of airplanes, helicopters, and drones. The examples of flying cars are both very expensive and impractical.
@johndonaldson5126
January 2, 2024 at 3:44 am
There is a cost to defeating gravity. For that reason I don't believe the average family will have flying cars. They are a niche between cars and airplanes, therefore the market is limited. There will always be applications where they make some sense though.
@ArlenBrackovic

How about noise ??? Even small commercial drone is pain int the ass flaying above you, scale that 50 times and everyone is deaf…

Planes should launch vertically with reusable balloons, greatly reducing the energy required.
@wellingtonmsj
January 2, 2024 at 3:44 am
They do. We name'em airplanes.
@sugershakify
January 2, 2024 at 3:44 am
Nonsense. Anyone that seriously thinks flying cars will become a means of mass transit should go take a 15' boat, 3 miles off shore in 3' foot seas and get a healthy dose of mother nature in even just slightly moderate adverse conditions in a "personal transport vehicle"

What is hanging of the the end of the plane in the opening frame ?
@pogo1140
January 2, 2024 at 3:44 am
By law they would be restricted to below 500ft which puts them below some sky scraper.
They would also be at risk of colliding with Police and other commercial helicopters who operate at low altitudes.
So no, these are toys for rich people.
@chochochikito

???????? Flying cars… Really? They exist already and they are called "Helicopters".

They sold out to the chinese? That should be illegal.
@capodad2u
January 2, 2024 at 3:44 am
Flying cars are impractical. The power required to lift a human of the ground vs propelling one along the ground make it economically impractical. Then factor in safety and the impact of thousands of people buzzing around the sky…….yeah not gonna happen. 👎

How the BBC has declined into cretinous populism is beyond belief. This documentary focuses on the ideas of brain-addled crackpots, and peppering it with an occasional fact or two does not lend it any air of credibility. Embarrassing coverage not even worthy of low-budget cable channels.
