BBC World Service - BBC OS, Living in extreme heat

How do you adapt to increasingly high temperatures?

Europe is experiencing extreme temperatures but in many parts of the world people are used to living in extremely hot climates. We hear what life is like for three people from Qatar, Pakistan and France. We also get the latest on the wildfires in southern Europe. 

Despite his unpopularity, Sri Lankan MPs have elected prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe as the country’s new president. We hear from Sri Lankans for their reaction. 

And we speak to Nigerian university students and teachers about the impact of a six-month shutdown of public universities across the country due to pay disagreements.
