Southern Europe swelters as heatwave spreads
Health and fire warnings have been issued in countries across southern Europe, with temperatures expected to exceed 40C in some places over the weekend. Italy, Greece, France, Spain and Portugal are among the countries affected - with the Spanish city of Seville forecast to hit 42C. Hot air from North Africa, which is spreading across the Balkans to holiday destinations such as Croatia, is contributing to the soaring temperatures. BBC Weather says the heatwave is "very intense" for this time of the year -with the continent normally experiencing such high temperatures in July and early August. In Spain, emergency staff have been placed on standby to deal with a surge in heatstroke cases especially among the vulnerable including children, the elderly and those with chronic illnesses. Italian authorities are advising residents in several cities, including Rome, Milan and Venice - where several A-list celebrities have gathered for the wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and TV presenter Lauren Sanchez - to stay indoors between 11:00 and 18:00 local time. France, meanwhile, has been experiencing a heatwave for more than a week. Orange heat alerts, the country's second-highest warning, were issued for southern regions on Friday. In the city of Marseille, municipal swimming pools are being opened free of charge until the end of the heatwave. Yellow and amber alerts are also in place for parts of England this weekend, with temperatures set to reach 32C. The heatwave is forecast to last until Tuesday evening. Wildfires have already struck some parts of Europe, including Greece, where coastal towns near the capital, Athens, erupted in flames that destroyed homes - forcing people to evacuate. While it is hard to link individual extreme weather events to climate change, heatwaves are becoming more common and more intense due to climate change. Scientists at World Weather Attribution, who analyse the influence of climate change on extreme weather events, say June heatwaves with three consecutive days above 28C are about 10 times more likely to occur now compared to pre-industrial times.

Mom Is Left ‘Feeling Guilty' After Allowing Her Kids to Use Their Pocket Money to Pay for Family Day Out
A mother admitted that money is "always tight" a week before payday, regardless of how much she budgets for her family In a Mumsnet post, she said her children volunteered to use their pocket money to go on an outing together However, the mom was left feeling "guilty" after other parents commented about her making her children use their savingsA mother is feeling broken after her children publicly announced they used their pocket money to pay for a family day out. The mom explained in a lengthy Mumsnet post that money is 'always tight' by the end of the month, regardless of how much she budgets. A week before payday, she suggested to her children that they go to the park, picnic, ride bikes or do anything that didn't involve having to 'buy a ticket or spend any money.' 'They asked to do something which costs money, but offered to pay for it themselves with birthday/pocket money (adults go free),' the mom said of her children. 'At this point, honestly, I was pleased and proud they were showing initiative, cooperating with one another, negotiating as a team, etc." 'They have enough to pay without emptying their savings, so I happily agreed,' she added. The mother said that when they arrived at the activity, her children told the cashier they were only able to come after offering to pay for the outing themselves. Strangers standing nearby began 'tutting and muttering that no child should have to buy their own tickets' and critiqued her parenting. 'I sort of stuttered that I was actually very proud of them working together to find a solution to get to do something they'd wanted to do, then we moved away,' the mom said. 'I didn't want to start explaining the whole backstory, financial circumstances, etc. 'But now I'm starting to feel guilty, and maybe I should have held the boundary that a no money day is just that, regardless of where the funds come from,' she continued, before asking members of the forum to share their opinions. 'AIBU [am I being unreasonable] to have let them pay?' she asked. 'I was feeling really positive about it all till about 10 minutes ago :(' A flood of responses to the post attempted to reassure the mom that she isn't the only parent strapped for cash by the end of the month.

Many said they wouldn't have shamed her for allowing her children to pay for the outing. 'Not at all unreasonable, you've taught them a valuable life lesson that money isn't growing on trees,' one person commented. 'Ignore that nosey, judgey cow. I think this is totally fine 👍 it's not like you make them pay for their bed and board every week 🤷' another said. The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! 'What happened to saving up to do/buy something? This used to be normal,' a third wrote. 'Now, kids seem to be given whatever they want whenever they want. Your children will understand the value of money, this woman's children may well be throwing a strop next time they aren't just given something simply because they want it.'
