BBC World Service - Weekend, Parts of California to reach hottest temperatures ever recorded

Heatwaves have set in around much of the northern hemisphere with the US to break records

Heatwaves have now set in around much of the northern hemisphere. Nearly a third of Americans are under extreme advisories. Death Valley in California - one of the hottest places in the world - is forecast to reach 129F (54C), nearing the hottest temperatures ever reliably recorded on Earth. And the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand kicks off on July 20. To discuss these topics and more are Andrew Small, Senior Fellow at the Indo Pacific Programme of the German marshall Fund and Latika Bourke, an Australian author and journalist, based in London.
