A high of 35C is expected by the Met Office in the South East on Monday, higher than forecasts for the Greek islands of Mykonos, Rhodes and Santorini. Much of central and southern England is set to see highs in the upper 20s to low 30s before temperatures ease slightly later in the week. Check the weather where you are Amber alerts, the second most serious, have been issued by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) for the East Midlands, East of England, South East and London regions for 48 hours from 9am on Monday. Less severe yellow alerts are in place for the same period covering the North West, Yorkshire and The Humber, West Midlands and South West regions. Rising temperatures bring health risks, the agency said, with greater demand for health care services by the vulnerable and an increase in risk to health for the over-65s or anyone with a pre-existing health condition. Vulnerable at risk Polly Ashmore, Acting Consultant in Public Health at the UKHSA, said periods of hot weather can cause "serious health outcomes, especially for older adults". The agency is asking health and social care services in affected regions to make sure they are prepared, and reminded people "to look out for elderly relatives, neighbours, and those with underlying health conditions, making sure they are aware of the forecast and following the necessary advice". She added: "Simple steps such as staying hydrated, avoiding the sun during the hottest part of the day, and keeping your home cool are some of the key ways to help keep yourself and others safe during periods of hot weather." 'Incredible' UK weather Sunday's top temperature was 31C at Frittenden in Kent. Sky weather producer, Joanne Robinson, said Monday will see the heat "build further in the South", warning that 34C is possible in southeast England, and there is a "small chance of reaching 35C". If the higher temperature is hit, she said "it will be the eighth day somewhere in the UK has reached 35C or more this year", something she described as "quite incredible". Ms Robinson said it shows "just how easily extreme temperatures can be reached now". It won't be as hot on Tuesday, but 31C or 32C but still 31 or 32C are possible in the South East, she said, adding that "it will be humid too, with some uncomfortable nights ahead".

This summer's prolonged dry conditions have led to wildfires breaking out across parts of the UK, including on the Suffolk coast, where a major incident was declared at Dunwich Heath, near Leiston on Wednesday and where firefighters were still on the scene on Sunday, Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service said. Firefighters have also been tackling major fires in the Scottish Cairngorms and at Tintwistle Moor in Derbyshire. Half of England and the whole of Wales are in drought following successive heatwaves earlier this summer.

A representative for the Wicked star said that she had withdrawn from a theatre production of Sunday In The Park With George in London in 2027. The announcement comes just days after Grande, 33, released the music video for Petal, the titular single from her eighth studio album, which has sparked speculation about her health. Late on Sunday, the singer's representative told People: "Ariana will be taking a step back from visibility after she completes the Eternal Sunshine Tour. "She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny. "This tour has been a beautiful experience for her. She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much." Grande is currently on her Eternal Sunshine tour, which will come to the UK this month, with a 10-night residency at London's The O2. Her final London show on 1 September will also mark the end of the tour. Production company Empire Street Productions said the show would still go ahead and her part recast. "Empire Street Productions have said following this evening's announcement from Ariana Grande's team, we can confirm that she has decided to step back from Sunday In The Park With George," the company told the Press Association. "We know this cannot have been an easy decision, and she makes it with our complete understanding and support. "We wish her nothing but the best. The production will open at the Barbican in summer 2027 as planned, and casting will be announced in due course."

The original musical, created by Sondheim and James Lapine, debuted on Broadway in 1984 starring Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters. Grande has previously spoken out about her "vulnerability" when it comes being in the spotlight and having people constantly comment on her body. She has also been open about her mental health following the Manchester Arena attack at her concert in May 2017 when a suicide bomber killed 22 people. Grande has won three Grammy Awards amid a successful music career which took off in 2013 after the release of her debut album, Yours Truly. She first found fame playing Cat Valentine on the Nickelodeon television shows Victorious and Sam & Cat. Grande was nominated for an Oscar for her role as Glinda in the big-screen adaptation of Wicked.

Craig won 47% of first preferences, well above what polling had predicted, though not quite enough to avoid a run-off against the second-placed Reform, which Labour also won handily. Nearly 60% of those who cast a ballot backed Labour in the first or second round, a remarkable recovery in a city-region where the party had collapsed just months earlier in local elections. Labour's performance does not look quite so impressive if we zoom out a bit further. The party's first preference share was down 16 points on Andy Burnham's 2024 win (though this was under a different electoral system). Labour never dropped below 60% on first preferences under Burnham. Though Bev Craig won comfortably, this is now a more competitive city-region. Runners-up Reform will be pleased to have pushed Labour into a second round, but disappointed not to have run the winners closer. An aggregate vote share of 21% on first preferences, and under 30% with second preferences added, will have been at the bottom end of the party's expectations. Reform had topped the poll across Greater Manchester in May's local elections, sweeping dozens of councillors out of office. Though this is by a large margin Reform's strongest ever performance in a Greater Manchester mayoral election, it is only their fifth best performance in all mayoral elections, behind all four of last May's contests. After over a year ahead in the national polls, they will have hoped for better. But there were some consolations for Reform, and concerns for Labour, in the borough-by-borough results. Nigel Farage's party secured over 25% of the vote in five of GM's outer boroughs, and hit 30% in Wigan, Andy Burnham's home borough. That could herald further gains for Reform in next May's local elections, when the party will hope to wrest some of these boroughs out of Labour control. The Greens will also be disappointed. Less than six months after their by-election triumph in Gorton and Denton, they have fallen back into a distant third place with just over 12% of the first preference vote. This is only their sixth best performance in a mayoral election, weaker than results achieved in the West of England, South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire when the party was less popular in national polling. One consolation for the Greens will be their second-place finish with 24% in Manchester itself - the party will still hope to cause Bev Craig some headaches in her home borough in local elections next year. This was a disastrous night for the Conservatives, who had come second in all three previous Mayoral races but dropped to fifth place in this one, winning less than 8% of the first preference vote. The Liberal Democrats also had a night to forget, winning under 3% of first preferences, comfortably their worst ever showing in the four mayoral contests to date. The biggest story from the trailing pack was instead Restore Britain, the party founded by former Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe in February. Restore came in fourth place overall, beating the Conservatives and winning nearly 9% of first preferences, a remarkable showing for a brand-new party. Restore campaigned as a more uncompromising, hardline version of Reform, and their gains here, as in Makerfield last month, may well have come at Reform's expense. Restore won over 12% in Oldham, Rochdale and Tameside, all boroughs which featured strong Reform performances in May. The largest by-election in British history did not, in the end, excite Greater Manchester's electors. Turnout across Greater Manchester was a shade over 25%, down nearly seven points on the 2024 figure. This was the lowest figure recorded in GM's four contests, and the third lowest for any combined authority mayoral election. An uncompetitive contest held in the school and university summer holiday season was always going to struggle to engage voters. But with devolution now promoted as a route to political renewal, it will concern the new prime minister that so many in Greater Manchester have greeted the prospect of choosing his replacement with a yawn of indifference.

It follows the loss of confidence in Infantino's leadership after the botched attempt to sell off stakes in the World Cup. The Football Association of Wales told Sky News it "hereby confirms its withdrawal of support for the candidature of Mr Gianni Infantino, for re-election as FIFA president for the 2027-2031 term". FIFA end plans to sell off stake in World Cup after widespread FIFA backlashWorld Cup 2030: Dates, schedule, hosts, stadiums and how qualification worksWorld Cup latest news | Saudi Arabia to host 2034 World Cup "The recent failures in good governance, processes, leadership, values, stakeholder management, communications and sound judgement have led us to a position where Mr Infantino has lost the confidence of the FAW to remain at the helm of world football," it added. "Failing to put the best interests of football first is a failure we cannot accept." The Football Association of Wales has written to FIFA about its position on its chief. 'Rapid fall from grace' It is a rapid fall from grace for Infantino two weeks after he was handing out the World Cup to Spain in New Jersey. The Welsh FA's statement is part of a concerted effort by European football to bring down Infantino following 10 years in power, after vowing to hold those responsible for the World Cup sell-off plan to account. We are anticipating a stream of other FAs to follow Wales in order to pile the pressure on Infantino to leave power without having to force a vote of no confidence. 'His presidency has imploded' Infantino had planned to seek re-election next year, but his presidency has imploded. UEFA has criticised "secret schemes on fast-track timescales, cooked up by faceless individuals and of dubious benefit to the game" and said it was devising a plan "to make sure that it cannot occur again" with no option off the table. Wales holds one of the eight votes on the International Football Association Board, which sets the laws of the sport and hosted Infantino for the annual meeting in February. 'UEFA wants Infantino to pay for his latest error of judgment with his job' Sky Sports News chief correspondent Kaveh Solhekol: European football associations are starting to withdraw the letters of support they had sent backing Infantino's re-election as FIFA president. Infantino had received more than 200 letters of support from FIFA's 211 associations - including 52 of the 55 who make up UEFA. All that changed last week when UEFA threatened to boycott FIFA tournaments in protest at Infantino's plan to sell off a stake in the World Cup to private investors. Wales has become the first association to officially withdraw support for Infantino. Infantino was forced to abandon his sell-off plan in the early hours of Saturday morning and UEFA wants him to pay for his latest error of judgment with his job. The first step towards achieving that aim is a coordinated withdrawal of letters of supporting his re-election. European football leaders have a variety of options to increase the pressure on Infantino. European members of the FIFA Council can attempt to call an emergency meeting of the Council or an emergency FIFA Congress. They can also find and back a unity candidate to challenge Infantino in next March's presidential election - if he survives that long. Infantino is refusing to give up without a fight and he has been encouraging his supporters - especially in Asia, Africa and South America to release statements declaring they still have faith in him. What were FIFA's World Cup plans? Under the initial proposal to launch FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), football's world governing body aimed to raise up to $4.2bn (£3.1bn) from external investors through the sale of minority, non-controlling stakes in FFE, which it said would be valued at around $20bn (£15bn). The governing body said its plans - which would have required approval from member associations - could deliver more than $10bn in "football development funding" over the next four years. Who could replace Infantino? Sky Sports News chief correspondent Kaveh Solhekol: There's been talk about the president of Paris Saint-Germain, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, one of the most powerful men in world football, who is on the UEFA executive committee. But my understanding is that he is not interested in replacing Infantino. Other candidates are people like Sheikh Salman bin Ibrahim Al Khalifa, who came second in the vote to become FIFA president 10 years ago. He's the president of the AFC, who also oppose the sell-off plans. Then there's the president of CONCACAF, Victor Montagliani. We've just had the World Cup in three CONCACAF countries and historically, CONCACAF have been close to Infantino, but they said on Thursday that they rejected the proposal as well. Finally, someone I think would be very popular is Aleksander Ceferin, the president of UEFA. He has a totally different vision about the way football should be run. If he was the president of FIFA, there would be no hydration breaks, no FIFA Peace Prizes, no Qatari-owned private jets for the president, no $1m (£742,000) World Cup tickets. But I don't think Ceferin has ever expressed any desire or interest publicly to replace Infantino. Perhaps we are getting ahead of ourselves. Infantino is under a lot of pressure and it would be fair to say he is fighting for his job, but we are not at the stage where people are going to come out and say they are going to stand against him.

Pastore, who was best known for his portrayal of Salvatore Bonpensiero in the acclaimed mob drama, died at his home in New York, his manager said. The veteran actor had appeared in films since the 1980s, including roles in Goodfellas and Awakenings, and made a name for himself portraying gangsters and tough guys. But it was his 30-episode stint in The Sopranos as a cigar-smoking mob enforcer turned conflicted informant that brought him fame. A cause of death has not been disclosed. Pastore's Sopranos co-stars paid tribute, with Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who played Meadow Soprano, writing: "A wonderful actor, a kind and loving man. It was an honor to know you and work with you." Michael Imperioli, who played Christopher Moltisanti, wrote on Instagram: "This is a hard one for us, it seems like I've known Vinny forever. "We did lots of work together and travelled all over the USA as well as Italy and Australia. Lots of good times. Lots of laughs. Vinny was a kind-hearted brother who cared deeply about his family and friends. I will miss him always." Lorraine Bracco, who played Dr Jennifer Melfi, said: "Such a funny & charming man… just a beautiful soul. Absolutely heartbreaking." Joe Pantoliano, who played Ralph Cifaretto, explained that while he was never on set with Pastore, "through our Sopranos family I got to know him over the years". "I always liked him," he wrote. "He had this incredible appetite for the business, and he never lost that spark." Stevie Van Zandt, who played Silvio Dante, said on X: "Another irreplaceable brother gone. It never gets any easier. Travel well Vincenzo." Pastore's manager Robert Attermann told Sky's US broadcasting partner NBC News that the actor will always be remembered as his "unforgettable" character in The Sopranos. "To the world, he will always be remembered as the unforgettable 'Big Pussy'," he said, using the nickname of Pastore's character in the show. "But to those of us who knew him, he was so much more." Mr Attermann added: "Vinny was one of the kindest, most generous people I have ever known. "He treated everyone with warmth and respect, never turning down a fan who wanted a photograph or an autograph. He genuinely appreciated the people who supported him and always made them feel valued." Another of Pastore's managers, Bob McGowan, said he had learned of the star's death on Saturday from another client and actor, Vincent Curatola, who portrayed mafioso Johnny Sack on The Sopranos. He said that Pastore had been found in his home on New York's City Island in the Bronx after not being heard from for several days. Mr McGowan said he'd been trying to reach Pastore about a possible job. "He was the most loyal client and he always gave to charity," he said. "And he was the kind of guy who would help anybody, which is rare in my business."

He also played in a band called Gangster Squad. Pastore, who was born in the Bronx and grew up in suburban New Rochelle, New York, has been inducted on the Bronx Wall of Fame. "His portrayal of the complex and lovable mobster earned him widespread recognition and praise," the Walk of Fame said. "Pastore's ability to bring depth and authenticity to his character contributed to the show's success and solidified his place in television history." He enlisted in the navy during the Vietnam War and later attended Pace University, according to his biography on IMDb. He is survived by his daughter, Renee Pastore.

Andy Burnham has thrown the future of legalising assisted dying into doubt. After telling Sam Coates that he does not want legislation to proceed until social care and palliative care are "fixed". Supporters of the bill insist they are pressing ahead. But has the Prime Minister's intervention made its passage through Parliament far less likely? Sam and Anne examine what Burnham's comments mean for MPs ahead of the crucial September vote. Plus, new polling from POLITICO shows again the 'Burnham bounce' as his approval rating goes up in every demographic, except one - Reform voters. What will this mean in the long term? And, before Sam and Anne take some time off over summer, what do they make of Burnham's first two weeks?
