The Met Office says the low-30s are likely in southern England on Sunday, before the heat is expected to "expand and intensify" on Monday and Tuesday. Humidity is set to be higher than last month's heatwave and the "tropical night" threshold - where temperatures don't fall below 20C - will be met in some areas. The Met Office amber 'extreme' heat warning for Monday and Tuesday covers most of the South East, stretching to Norfolk, as well as parts of South Wales. The forecaster says there's a 40% chance of beating June's highest-ever temperature of 35.6C (96F), set in 1957 and 1976. It will also be hot further north at the start of the week, with 29C forecast for Manchester, 27C in Newcastle, 25C for Glasgow, 24C in Belfast. "Temperatures have topped 30C in places this afternoon but the real heat has yet to reach us," says Sky News weather presenter Jo Wheeler. After a slight cooling on Saturday, she says high pressure will "tap into the fierce heatwave over the near continent resulting in temperatures climbing day on day". High humidity will make things "quite uncomfortable", Wheeler adds. It's a message echoed by Met Office forecaster Honor Criswick, who says the upcoming heatwave will bring humidity "quite a bit higher" than the last one. "It's just going to make it feel that bit muggier and that bit more humid during the day and overnight as well," says Criswick. The Met Office alert runs parallel with one from the UK Health Security Agency warning people to look out for the elderly and those with underlying health conditions. See the weather forecast where you are Travellers heading to Europe for an early summer break could also be hit by unexpectedly high temperatures. More than 50 areas of France are on heatwave alert, with interior minister Laurent Nunez warning of 40C (104F) in the day and and a sweltering 30C at night in some parts from Sunday. Meteo-France - the French Met Office - describes the upcoming surge as "widespread, prolonged and intense". The water safety message is also being repeated after last month's UK heatwave - which set a new May record of 35.1C - saw at least 15 people die, including nine children. Cold water shock - which can induce panic and rapid breathing - is still a possibility as sea, lake and river temperatures remain surprisingly cold. People entering the water should go in slowly and gradually and swim in a lifeguarded area if possible, the RNLI advise. Explainer: What is cold water shock? "If you find yourself struggling in the water, remember to Float to Live: tilt your head back so your ears are submerged, relax and control your breathing," the RNLI's Samantha Hughes said. "You may need to gently use your hands to help you stay afloat, and it's ok if your legs sink-everyone floats differently."

Chase, a former child star also known for her role as the villain in the 2002 US remake of the Japanese horror film The Ring, reportedly died on Tuesday from complications of bacterial meningitis and a blood infection. Her father, John David Schwallier, told The New York Times that Chase had been homeless in Los Angeles with her boyfriend near the hospital where she died. Mr Schwallier also told the outlet that his daughter had struggled with drugs since she was 13 years old, and that she had been estranged from her parents, who are divorced. He added that he had been in touch with Chase's boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, and arrived at the hospital where she was being treated just before she died. Chase is perhaps best known for her role as Lilo in the 2002 animated film, voicing the eponymous orphaned Hawaiian girl who adopts a genetically engineered extra-terrestrial, whom she names Stitch. She voiced the same character in the subsequent spin-off TV series, which first aired in 2003. For her role as Samara Morgan in The Ring, starring alongside Oscar-nominated actress Naomi Watts, Chase won an MTV movie award for best villain. She landed another prominent voice lead in the English dub of the 2001 Studio Ghibli film Spirited Away, and also appeared in the 2001 movie Donnie Darko and the 2003 show Oliver Beene.

According to IMDb, she began singing and dancing at the age of three and starred in her first commercial - for Campbell's Soup - aged seven. An online fundraiser set up by her boyfriend has raised close to $4,000 as of Thursday. A post on the site read: "Many people know her as a talented childhood actor from 'Lilo & Stitch,' 'Spirited Away,' and 'Donnie Darko'. "But behind the scenes, she's faced more than her share of hardship."

Speaking to Sky's political editor Beth Rigby on the Electoral Dysfunction podcast following Burnham's win in the Makerfield by-election, she said: "Well, I hate to quote Boris Johnson, but do you remember what he said, when he realised that he had to leave government? And he said about his ministers and his MPs, the 'herd is moving'. "Well, I have to say that it's not only that the herd is moving, they are stampeding." "We need an animal expert on this programme to tell us about herds, because the point about herds is that if you get left behind by the herd, you know, that's it. You know, you're extinct. And there is this sense of collective movement." Politics latest: Follow live To listen to Electoral Dysfunction twice a week - including the members-only Sky News Insider edition - click here.

She said: "I think it's going to happen - that Andy Burnham is going to become prime minister. Keir Starmer is going to be leaving office." Around 100 Labour MPs have already called on Sir Keir Starmer to stand aside in the wake of the party's huge defeat in May's local elections. Starmer also has been hit with a number of high-profile ministerial resignations in recent weeks, including Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Defence Secretary John Healey. And it's expected that cabinet ministers will hold conversations with Sir Keir over the weekend to discuss his future, with some expected to tell the prime minister to set out a timetable for his departure from Downing Street. "I think things have really changed, and I don't think there's going to be any question of a timetable," says Baroness Harman. "I mean, some people were talking about September - we cannot have ministers in a state of paralysis all the way through the summer. "I don't think Andy Burnham is even going to be going on his summer holidays, because he knows people want change, so he will hit the ground running."

"And by the time we get to [The Labour Party] conference in September, we'll be at a complete different pace of change." Burnham's victory in Makerfield was declared early on Thursday morning, with him winning 24,927 votes (54.8% vote share) and a majority of 9,231 over second-placed Reform. Following his victory, he said it "could just be the turning point" for Labour as he promised to "lay out a new path for Britain". But Sir Keir has remained defiant, vowing to stand in any potential leadership contest, saying: "I will run, I will stand".

Clark returned early on Friday morning to par the final two holes of an opening-round 64, following a fog-delayed first day, then mixed three birdies with two bogeys in a one-under 69. The 2023 champion holed a long-range birdie on his final hole to move to seven under, the lowest 36-hole score ever in a US Open held at this major venue, putting him top of a star-studded leaderboard filled with past major champions.

McIlroy threatened to be Clark's closest challenger when he reached the turn in 33 and within four of the lead, only to mix two birdies with three bogeys and a double bogey on the back nine to post a one-over 71. The world No 2 is joined on level par by Scottie Scheffler, who posted a second-round 68 as he looks to complete the career Grand Slam, while two-time US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau missed the cut for a third consecutive major. Back-nine struggles leave McIlroy chasing Clark McIlroy holed from 10 feet to save par at the first and made a patient start to his second round, before a 393-yard drive at the par-five fifth set up a two-putt birdie and lifted him closer to Clark. The six-time major winner slotted in a 15-foot birdie at the eighth but missed a six-foot attempt at the par-five next to get within three of the lead, before going long of the green with approaches into the first three holes of his back nine and bogeying them all. McIlroy responded by firing a wedge to tap-in range at the 13th and nailed a 40-footer at the next, but undid those successive bogeys - and slipped back to level par - when he double-bogeyed the par-four 15th. The world No 2 had to get up and down from off the par-five 16th to save par and scramble from the sand to avoid a bogey at the 17th, with McIlroy struggling with distance control during an eventful back-nine 38. "I just kept hitting it long," McIlroy told Sky Sports. "It was tough. I feel like our side of the draw played in the windiest of the conditions and the scores sort of bear that out, but I held in and hung in there as best I could. "Even par going into the weekend isn't terrible. Hopefully go out there and keep playing the way I'm playing. I'm doing the right things. I made a couple of mistakes, which put me behind the eight ball a little bit, but still a really solid two days." Fitzpatrick, Schauffele chase Clark as Scheffler moves forward Clark held a two-shot lead over Dustin Johnson after the opening round was completed and briefly moved five clear on Friday, with the American posting back-to-back rounds in the 60s at a major for the first time since his 2023 US Open win. "The great thing about that is I didn't feel like I had my best and I still am leading," Clark said. "Hopefully I can bring my A-game on the weekend." Schauffele - who has never finished outside the top 15 at the US Open - posted a four-under 66 to move to three under alongside Fitzpatrick, who birdied two of his last three holes, while Stevens (69) and Kim (67) complete the quartet in second behind Clark. Only 10 players remain under par, with Justin Thomas, Sam Burns, Sahith Theegala and Harry Higgs all rising to one under, as Scheffler produced a much-improved display as he carded just one bogey in a two-under 68. Last month's PGA Championship winner Aaron Rai sits in the group on one over alongside compatriots Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood, as DeChambeau made another early exit after posting back-to-back double bogeys in a five-over 75. Jon Rahm played his first 21 holes bogey-free but also missed the cut when he dropped six shots in a five-hole stretch during an eight-over 78, leaving him six over, with Viktor Hovland (+5), Patrick Reed (+5), Shane Lowry (+6) and Adam Scott (+8) also failing to reach the weekend.

Convicted killers Mark Fellows, 45, Lee Newell, 57, and David Taylor, 64, stabbed Kyle Bevan to death at high-security HMP Wakefield in West Yorkshire last year before "tucking him up in bed" and leaving him to bleed out. Bevan, 33, was serving a life sentence with a minimum tariff of 28 years for murdering his partner's two-year-old daughter, Lola James, in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, in 2020. Fellows and Newell were already serving whole life orders when they killed Bevan. Judge Maura McGowan imposed "new and separate" whole life orders on both of them for Bevan's murder. Taylor was given a whole life order for Bevan's death, on top of the offences he was on remand for at the time. A jury found the trio guilty on Thursday of murdering Bevan. CCTV showed the three defendants following Bevan into his cell on 4 November and emerging less than five minutes later in "a satisfied, job-done mood", prosecutors said. Taylor was on remand for the murder of Alisha Apostoloff-Boyarin - a 24-year-old woman he was in a relationship with but had grown tired of - and attempting to murder a police officer in an interview room at another high-security jail. Justice McGowan jailed Taylor for life with a minimum term of 20 years for Ms Apostoloff-Boyarin's murder. She also handed him a 30-year sentence for the attempted murder of the police officer and imposed a whole life order for the death of Bevan, as it was a second offence of murder. Taylor, who had recently been transferred to Wakefield, had boasted about his ability to make makeshift weapons "out of all sorts". Some had been found in a bottle of chilli sauce in his cell after Bevan's death. Newell was given a whole life order in 2013 after he strangled a prisoner who murdered a child and left him in his bed - an incident with a "chilling similarity" to Bevan's death. He was first jailed for murder in 1989 for strangling his neighbour when she refused to give him money. Fellows, a hitman known as "the Wakefield Dexter", had committed two gangland murders and was given a whole life term in 2019. He had applied to be transferred out of Wakefield before Bevan's killing because of his dissatisfaction with the prison. Fellows was the only one of the trio to attend court in person on Friday, with Newell and Taylor joining by video link from prison. Read more from Sky News:Toddler injured in zoo enclosure was attacked by crocodileTeacher will never leave prison for baby's murder 'Not known who did what' On the day of his death, Bevan was seen on CCTV walking into his cell followed by the three defendants. The trio left the cell less than five minutes later "as if nothing had happened". They could be seen shaking hands and appearing to congratulate each other. The court heard it is not known "who did what" inside the cells, but that Bevan was likely held by his arms while being stabbed 25 times with at least two weapons. Newell had an injury to his hand, while Fellows could be seen rolling up his tracksuit bottoms after realising they had blood on them. Jurors heard one weapon, made from a folded piece of metal from the back of a television, was found on the ground outside Bevan's cell with his blood on it. However, the weapon that caused the fatal injury was never found. The trial heard that, as Taylor was being transferred out of Wakefield, he shouted in the vicinity of Newell: "Nice working with you and the Iceman" - a nickname for Fellows.

The musician, whose real name was Brytavious Chambers, was found in his flat in Nashville, Tennessee, by police during a welfare check. The hip-hop producer behind Scott's hit track Sicko Mode and Drake's Nonstop, had also worked with stars including Eminem, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, J Cole and 21 Savage. Metro Nashville Police Department said: "No foul play is suspected in the death of Brytavious Chambers, 29, also known as Grammy-nominated record producer Tay Keith. "He was found dead in his Martin Street apartment this afternoon by officers performing a welfare check. His death is unclassified pending autopsy results." Keith was nominated for a Grammy for best rap song for Sicko Mode with Travis Scott, which also topped the US charts. He was nominated again in 2024 for his production on Drake and 21 Savage's Rich Flex. He recently worked on Megan Thee Stallion's 2024 album Megan, Jack Harlow's single Just Us featuring Doja Cat, and Travis Scott's single 4×4. Keith also worked on tracks including Beyonce's Before I Let Go BlocBoy JB's Look Alive, and Sexyy Red's 2023 song Pound Town. Read more from Sky News:Lilo & Stitch star died at 35BBC to cut hundreds of jobs In tribute, BlocBoy JB shared a broken heart emoji on his Instagram after news of Keith's death came to light. He wrote, "Damn Cuz You Just Hurt Me Bad", alongside a photo of him and Keith. He also shared a screenshot of his phone call log, showing frequent calls between the two, writing: "We talked everyday yeen tell me you was leaving." Keith founded music label Drumatized Music Group, based in Memphis, alongside his manager, Cambrian Strong. The duo were featured together on Forbes' 30 Under 30 Music list in 2024 and Billboard magazine named Keith one of the top producers of the 21st century.

He wrote: "As a first step, my Chief Secretary will meet with you to discuss the issues raised in your letter." Sky News understands a meeting with Darren Jones has been scheduled for Tuesday next week with former victims' minister Alex Davies Jones, who has supported Lisa's campaign, also attending. Ms Phillips had written to the prime minister three times asking for a meeting, although Sky News understands that because she is not a constituent, only the second letter reached him. In the letter to Ms Phillips and human rights campaigner Carly Hamilton, the prime minister praised their "incredible bravery" and said he shared their determination to tackle sexual exploitation and abuse. But while Sir Keir said he remained committed to securing justice for victims, he did not answer their central question of whether he supports a UK public inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein. Responding to the letter, the campaigners welcomed the prime minister's engagement but made clear they are still waiting for a direct answer. "Our question has always been a simple one: Will Prime Minister Keir Starmer support a public inquiry?" they said. "We continue to seek a clear answer". Their statement notably singled out a number of MPs, including Wes Streeting, Andy Burnham and Al Carns, who have all indicated they would enter a race to succeed Keir Starmer, to thank them for their support. Read more from Sky News:Two PM arsonists jailedBurnham's route to No 10 In his letter, Sir Keir pointed to his record as director of public prosecutions and reiterated his pledge to halve violence against women and girls. Ms Phillips also called for clarification regarding Peter Mandelson following comments made in Westminster and said they looked forward to a "full and transparent response". Their statement concluded: "No one should be above the law. The law must take its course."

Woad followed an opening-round 69 with a brilliant bogey-free 66 at Blythefield Country Club, carding six birdies to jump to nine under and in touch with leader Jing Yan. The world No 7 - beginning on the back nine - posted back-to-back birdies from the 14th and took advantage of the par-five 18th to turn in 33, then ended a run of pars by picking up a shot at the par-three fifth.

"Been trying to get in contention a bit more," said Woad, already a winner on the LPGA Tour this season at the Kroger Queen City Championship. "Feel like when I am in contention I've done pretty good so far, so just trying to keep that going. "I feel like I am still working out kind of how I want to play before majors, whether I want to go play an event or not. I think I'm finding out I do like playing the week before when possible - I want to do that to get the momentum going. "Coming off a US Open [tied-49th], which was obviously tough for four days there, it's nice to go somewhere where it's a little bit more scorable and see those birdie putts go in before another major." Yan matched Woad's bogey-free 66 to get to 10 under and one ahead of Woad and Porter, with Korea's Minji Kang a further shot back in tied-fourth alongside China's Yan Liu. World No 2 Jeeno Thitikul made a shock early exit after a second-round 70 left her a shot outside the cut mark, with England's Mimi Rhodes also missing the cut after rounds of 73 and 72.
