Working conditions in Cambodia like ‘a burning prison’ | BBC News
Thousands of workers in South East Asia are being forced to work in conditions so hot that their lives are being put at risk, according to UK research.
The study, of brick kiln and garment workers in Cambodia, highlights the risk climate change will pose to those already working in hot countries.
Last May, Cambodia’s temperature hit a new high of 41.6C during the hottest year on record.
As global temperatures soar, even a small increase could mean the difference between life and death for the tens of thousands of brick kiln workers across Asia.

Fifa president Gianni Infantino says he has scrapped the controversial plan to sell off stakes in the governing body’s major competitions, following widespread opposition.
Infantino said it had become clear the project had “created divisions” that are “no longer in the interest” of its original objective.
The Swiss official added: “As a result, this proposal will not proceed.”
Infantino had offered all 211 member associations $40m (£30m) if they backed a proposal for private investment in its tournaments, including the men’s and women’s World Cups.

The chilling story of Hull’s funeral home horror. How an undertaker drowning in debt betrayed hundreds of grieving families.
Robert Bush hoarded bodies, sold fake funeral plans and presented families with the ashes of strangers. His shocking crimes went undetected for years.
The discovery led to one of the most complex investigations in Humberside Police’s history, with help from the National Crime Agency.
At the heart of this are grieving families. In their darkest days, they fought for laws to regulate the funeral industry so that others never suffer their pain – or guilt – again.

However, Uefa – which governs European football – responded by voting to boycott World Cups if the plans went ahead, and other governing bodies also voiced their opposition.
