'Hell is coming': Europe braces for Saharan Bubble heatwave stretching from Scotland to

Britain also faces a sweltering week-long heatwave that could see temperatures soar past 86F (30C) following the past two days of widespread downpours and flooding. The heatwave is being caused by a 2,000-mile wide plume of hot air dubbed the 'Saharan bubble' which is being blown from the region by an unusually strong jet stream. Sunshine and hot conditions for the next few days in Britain, starting with a muggy high of 80F today before the mercury starts to creep up to 86F by Thursday.

Family of couple locked in £300,000 inheritance battle as they ask judge to decide who

Anna Winter (top right) and Deborah Cutler (bottom right) have gone to the High Court to fight over the house and cash left by John Scarle, 79, and his wife Ann, 69, after they perished in Leigh-on-Sea in October 2016. Mr and Mrs Scarle were found dead of hypothermia in their Essex bungalow after worried neighbours called in the police having not seen them for several days. Their children from previous marriages have asked a judge to decide whose parent died first so they can secure the inheritance worth more than a quarter of a million pounds (graphic main picture). If Mr Scarle died first then his wife would have briefly inherited his share of the £300,000 inheritance - meaning Mrs Scarle's child Deborah Cutler would be next in line.
