Helen, what more do we know about the Prime Ministers address later . We will get another one of these Prime Ministerial press conferences, we havent had one in a while and he will use it to set up these new rules, really to ram home the message that weve got to stick to them. He is going to say it is absolutely critical that people know applied by these rules and really focus on the basics, that he is setting this out as simplifying and strengthening of the rules, to make them easier to understand, and also for the police to enforce and there has been criticism levelled at the government about how potentially complicated the rules have been getting, they become less straightforward, did people really understand them. He is also going to explain a bit more about the reasoning behind it. As he told cabinet ministers yesterday, what the government does not want to see isa the government does not want to see is a repeat of whats been seen in france and spain with a rise in the number of infections which leads to the number of hospitalisations, and will point out that in spain, there is now a rise in deaths and that is what the government wants to avoid. This is the point of taking action now and will reinforce those m essa 9 es now and will reinforce those messages and we will see as you heard the launch of new Public Education campaign, the slogan that the government has reduced about hands, face, space, we will hear much more and there will be a video released showing how the virus spreads exactly indoors because that is the big area of concern is a autumn and winter, a lot more time inside.

Meanwhile, the largest of the wildfires, californias creek fire, remains dangerously uncontained. But with thousands of firefighters working all hours, there are moments of hope. The coastguard rescued these hikers after they were stranded for several days in hard to reach areas. Most of the operations have occurred at night. The pilots are describing the scene, so with the night vision they can actually see the embers and the silhouette of the terrain so they can safely land at an evacuation sites and finally get the evacuees and get them out of there.

A dry day with a bit of sunshine around, still quite humid in southern areas as it was yesterday but a fresh appeal during the next 24 but a fresh appeal during the next 2a hours. Temperatures at the moment just about in double figures for many. 17, 18 degrees across parts of central and eastern england, a jumpstart for some in north west england in north west wales, patchy rain working south, a lot more sunshine across the northern and western areas, a few showers in scotla nd western areas, a few showers in scotland and by the afternoon, the weather front with patchy rain and drizzle will be across some southern counties of england so even if you start with sunshine, it might cloud over a little bit. Temperatures 23, 20 four degrees. Not as warm as yesterday further north but as i said, more sunshine through wales, north west england, Northern Ireland and the west of scotland. A bit more ofa and the west of scotland. A bit more of a breeze will make it feel cooler in cloudier moments, and bring showers to the north east of scotla nd showers to the north east of scotland through the day and into the evening. Those showers fade away and because we will all be into that fresh air, the exception will be the Channel Islands, cooler night, temperatures widely down into single figures. Tomorrow mornings commute could be cooler. For many, more on the way of dry weather. Details on all that coming up at around 6 45am. I will get back and think about the kardashian s.

He was ok. He had all this kit with him. Ithink was ok. He had all this kit with him. I think he had attended with him, all sorts of kit, and then he went wild camping for the three days.

More than 111,000 firefighters continue to battle 2a separate fires across california, oregon and Washington State. The largest blaze, known as the creek fire, has burned more than 120 square miles since it broke out in the Sierra Nevada mountains on friday. Lets speak to dave malkoff, a weather presenter, whos north of the blaze in clovis county. Good morning to you. Do you have a sense can you give us a sense good morning to you. Do you have a sense can you give us a sense of what is going on . Good morning. It isa what is going on . Good morning. It is a wildfire that has just exploded yes today when we were in the fire and it was 80,000 acres and now it has exploded to 144,000 acres. We we re has exploded to 144,000 acres. We were at fully with a group of us labour day campers who were actually in the woods and they did not even know that the fire was burning around them to do they had heard of the fire but they were so deep in the fire but they were so deep in the woods, cut off from mobile phone service and they were actually tried in there for hours and hours. They we re in there for hours and hours. They were not the only ones. There are was a us military helicopter run today that did ten rescue military rescue missions that took about 150 people out of the burning area with 16 animals, mostly dogs, in these big general helicopters fractional helicopters. While they were there it was quite dangerous. Clearly terrifying stories and dangerous situations for people. Will they be able to extinguish this . What is happening . It is tough here in california and some of these bases have gone through four or five years of drought and the trees are just devastated by the bark beetle infestation. These are tiny bugs about the size of a grain of rice that get into the trees and infest the trees and turn it into firewood. So as these fires go through found by swirling wind and record High Temperature we expect 41 celsius this week here in this area and there is just no this week here in this area and there isjust no rain in the forecast either so the fire just swells in here and grows and grows andjumps fire lines, swells in here and grows and grows and jumps fire lines, itjumps over the highways and perhaps people in their and there was actually neighbourhoods we saw torched today, there were schools that were burned and also one iconic california general store that we drove by yesterday was burned to the ground when we saw it this afternoon to ta ke when we saw it this afternoon to take you talk about whole towns being destroyed, are there . Yes. Many people did get out because of these mandatory evacuation orders but it was really wild to see how many people were still in their and needing Helicopter Rescue is and ground rescues. The way that we got out of the quarry we were in and the marina was actually via police escort, ten vehicles at a time. We had to wait for the fire to burn over the highway and then everybody about 100 people in that area out ten vehicles at a time driving through the burned area and as you drive through you look around and ucr drive through you look around and ucr falling and everything is grey and you can see that the fire has just turned there. Back in the 1970s there was a fire season here in california and it would last about five months. These days it is seven months or longer. These fire seasons are getting wilder and longer and more intense here in california and throughout the American West. The authorities are helping and trying to deal as best they can with this. You know how the fire started . Throughout the United States it has been a devastating year. We have had 4. 7 million acres burned, most of those are actually human caused. 0ne wildfire here in california, in Southern California was started, get this, when someone lit off a smoke bomb ata this, when someone lit off a smoke bomb at a gender reveal party and thatis bomb at a gender reveal party and that is not the first time that has started a wildfire. Now that is under investigation and many of these fires are human caused but they keep on burning, some of them with lightning but most of them human caused.
