(15:48) In Britain, a woman is recovering in hospital after suffering a
heart attack when lightning struck the crowd at a football match.

14 other people were hurt in the strike, which happened at a Leisure Centre
in Birmingham during heavy storms.

Elsewhere, the record for the hottest day ever in Britain has been broken
as temperatures soared to 37.4 Celsius.

The reading, which was recorded at Heathrow Airport, beat the existing
record of 37.1 Celsius recorded at Cheltenham in August 1990.
