US Elections: How to be a candidate (The Look) – BBC News
With the American electoral cycle hotting up, Linda Yueh goes on a mission to find out what she would need to compete for a seat in Congress. Linda — who’s an American citizen — learns how to put together a campaign team, and how much it costs to raise the best professionals. She tells all in a radio documentary for BBC World Service — and a four part video series.
In the first film, The Look, she gets hair advice from a stylist who’s worked with first ladies — including Hillary Clinton — plus fashion tips from a style consultant.

Lives “will be lost” unless the UK does more to prepare for wildfires, experts warn, after a record-breaking summer saw 1,350 wildfires in England and Wales alone.
“Tinderbox” conditions created by a long, hot, dry summer brought the worst wildfire season on record in 2026.
Dozens of homes were destroyed or damaged, huge areas of land burned, and one man died.
The UK government banned disposable barbecues, sent a wildfire alert to people’s mobile phones and made £97m available, and a wildfire summit is planned – but are we still behind the curve?
In this episode of Behind the Investigation, Melanie Stewart-Smith speaks to Adrian Goldberg from File on 4 Investigates about what he found on the ground.

Is the way we date changing?
Studies suggest the time spent on dating apps has dropped in recent years. BBC News crashed an ‘in person’ speed-dating event to ask attendees about their dating habits, and if they’re too skint to date.

STOP THIS WALL TO WALL COVERAGE OF THE US ELECTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FFS, there's more important news out there.
Why don't is not a single second dedicated to what's going on around the Commonwealth?!!!
Why don't I know what's news in Canada, Australia, Jamaica, etc etc.
Donald Trump is entertaining but that's what the internet is for, not constantly on BBC news!
