oh my god. there are more than 1,000 wild fires raging throughout canada. desperate scenes in parts of the country, as homes and livelihoods are consumed by the advancing fire. there is particular concern in the western province of british columbia, where 30,000 residents have been ordered to leave their homes. even more, they have been told to be ready to evacuate at any moment. the town of kelowna to the west of vancouver is being threatened by an advancing inferno, the nearby lake no barrier to fire, as strong winds carry embers across the water, setting fire to homes and buildings on the other side. don't travel to the region is the advice from the local authorities. at this time, we are strongly recommending that people with plans to travel to fire affected areas throughout the central interior and south—east in the coming day, to cancel those plans. we need tourists and travellers

moved into pre—landing orbit. will vernon reports from moscow. russia's first mission to the moon for almost 50 years. luna—25, blasted off on the 11th of august. hopes were high that russia would be the first country to land on the south pole of the moon. as a result, the russian space agency broke the bad news. luna, 25, had been lost. luna—25, had been lost. in a statement, roscosmos said the craft ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the moon. this is a humiliating blow for moscow. russia had hoped that this mission would reestablish it as one of the world leaders in space travel. but russia's space industry has been in decline for years, partly because of western sanctions, but also

because for the kremlin, the priority is the military and not civilian space programmes. the war in ukraine has led to isolation after russia's full scale invasion last year. international agreements on space were torn up. you cannot buy certain electronics unless you have worldwide corporation. and if the developers of the spacecraft work in isolation, even if they have 20 years like they had with the lunar globe and luna 25, it's still not enough. and india is in the race now, too. chandrayaan three is due to touch down on the moon on wednesday. if india succeeds, that will be another blow to russia's reputation in space. will vernon, bbc news, moscow.

that's all for now — stay with bbc news. good morning. weekend may well have started off wet and windy, but we closed out the story with some sunshine and some warmth. in fact, in suffolk, we saw highs of 26 degrees on sunday afternoon. now mixed fortunes with our week ahead. in fact, we're going to start off monday for england and wales under this area of high pressure. but low pressure over the next few days will dominate further north and that will bring some rain, some of it heavy at times. early morning, patchy low cloud, mist and fog will quickly fade away across england and wales with a light south—westerly breeze, the sunshine will start to kick in and take over. but further north and west, some of that rain turning quite heavy through northern ireland and northwest scotland

as we close out the afternoon here, only around 16 or 17 degrees, but at the highest values further south of 25 celsius, that's 77 fahrenheit. now, as we go through monday evening and over into tuesday, we'll see that rain turning quite patchy as it pushes its way steadily southwards with quite a lot of cloud around. we keep those temperatures around 14 or 15 degrees and clearing skies maybe around 12 or 13 celsius. but that weather front could bring a little spot or two of light rain across north wales, over into northern england. behind it, there will be some showers on tuesday, a breezier day, not quite as warm again, 19 to 21 degrees. but we keep the sunshine across central and southern england 25 celsius once again. now, as we push through the middle part of the week, there's another weather front that's going to be pushing in across the southwest, still under the influence of low pressure further north. so it's quite a messy story. through midweek, we could have a little bit of patchy rain through wales into the midlands, but this frontal system is the dividing line between some pretty humid air

pushing up from the south, highs of 26 degrees quite possible and noticeably fresher airfurther north, 16 to 18 degrees at the very best. but it's the fresher air that's going to win out as we go through towards the end of the week. low pressure drifts just that a little bit further south and east, a northwesterly wind direction will take over and that's going to push that warm russet tones, the temperatures in the mid twenties, it's going to push it back over to the near continent so that fresher feel will arrive for all. so our week ahead will be rain at times into the north. warmer for the south until friday.
