The cost of all inclusive holidays is going up... and people are changing their travel plans to adapt for climate change. Meanwhile - should we ALL be doing more in our own communities to manage climate change - from solar panels to allotments? Join in the conversation

Frustrating day for Lioness and Wales fans yesterday. But both fans upbeat their teams will improve. Hereโs the stadium in Zurich yesterday before and during the game. The England fans around us were booed for not doing the Mexican wave - were they right to stand firm? ๐

Morning. New figures show record numbers arriving in UK on small boats in 1st 6 months of year - reaction to that plus looking ahead to a big rebellion of Labour MPs over benefits reform this evening. Our IMO - should we ban alcohol advertising? And cheese really does give you nightmares. ๐ง 5live

So the news today - pretty much focussed on the UK heatwave, the ongoing row over reform to benefits, and some Glastonbury fall out. But the thing that's grabbed my attention - new stats on the decline of entry level jobs since launch of AI, which is all mildly (hugely) terrifying. ๐ป BBC 5live

Hi... Some questions for you to ponder this morning. * Is there any point in politicians apologising? * Should patients ask permission before filming medical procedures? * Should abortion beyond 24 weeks be decriminalised? * How can we build water supply resilience (and use less water)?

How do we fix the water industry in the UK? We'll talk to the Environment Secretary next about that - and whether the threat of prison for water company bosses will make any difference. Also do grown ups really need medals for sporting achievements? (I think it's all a bit unnecessary)

Should we be increasing flouride levels in water in some parts of the UK to improve dental health? Huge disparities between high and low income households - so do we need interventions like this to prevent hospitalisations? Big debate about this - what are your thoughts?
