UK under first-ever 'red alert' heat warning

The British government has some advice today, which could equally apply to many parts of Europe and the world: don’t go anywhere and don’t do anything. The unusual advice is because, for the first time ever, the UK is under a red alert warning for extreme heat. Temperatures could reach a record 105 degrees Fahrenheit this week in the country. Experts say climate change is making heatwaves like this one more frequent and more intense, and the UN Secretary General says humanity is facing “collective suicide.” Professor Myles Allen has contributed to several IPCC UN reports on climate change and joins Sara Sidner to discuss. Also on today's show: Igor Zhovkva, Ukrainian President Zelensky's chief diplomatic adviser; US Democratic Congressman Tom Malinowski; Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah, author of the new taboo-busting book The Sex Lives of African Women.
