About this deal

Home Secretary Priti Patel said on Tuesday night: "I have just been updated on the national fire situation. With dangerous fires burning across the country, I continue to urge the public to follow all safety advice from their local fire service, and stay safe. John Ruskin made the case for art as a language. Crafted visual images are more than frozen icons: they articulate an inner voice. Lines, space and perspective are its grammar, colour its syntax. From his perspective, it’s what you depict that counts: “It is not by the mode of representing and saying, but by what is represented and said, that the respective greatness of either the painter or the writer is to be finally determined.” Tonight, a band of heavy, showery rain will progress eastwards across Britain, falling as thundery showers in places. Ms Maceikaite said they were "very anxious" about their home, adding: "When you look on a camera when it shows you from the sky it just freaks you out."

After the blistering heat, we're starting to see a notable drop off in temperatures for some, following a cold front sweeping in from the west. Ultimately, the themes here allow us to do what these artists have done for themselves: define our own ways forward. The same essential elements — stones, pathways, water — that guide these artworks remind us that any pathway by definition leads us, that is, coerces us to follow the feet of those that have gone trudging before us. Indeed, there is no wrong way to read this book, only your way. West Midlands Fire Service alone received 717 incident calls on Monday - an increase of 280 in the space of a week. Riminta Maceikaite, 38, and her son Nikas Janulevicius, 13, said their neighbours' homes have burned down but as far as they can see from TV aerial shots, their house is still standing.Two more people were confirmed to have died after getting into difficulty in water in separate incidents, bringing the total in recent days to five. Four were teenage boys and a fifth was a man aged 20 Two people were also taken to hospital suffering smoke inhalation following a fire in Dagenham, with the full number of casualties unknown. One resident, who has terminal pancreatic cancer, said she was forced to leave all her cancer drugs behind as they were evacuated.

TM: What do you hope people take from the book? I guess one reason must be bringing some of these images to the fore and also keeping them alive … Video caption: Heatwave: Surveying the damage after French fires Heatwave: Surveying the damage after French fires This has caused rapid fire spread which has impacted on properties, people's homes, schools, churches and other types of buildings. We’re all really worried, the wind is strong and we’re seeing on the news that loads of houses are on fire and there isn’t enough fire engines. Officers will also be patrolling open spaces in the coming hours to ensure that Londoners are following the LFB advice to keep us all safe."

Fire brigades in London, Leicestershire, Norfolk and South Yorkshire were among those to declare major incidents as flames destroyed buildings and devoured tinder-dry fields in Wennington, east London, and grasslands elsewhere in the capital and in Groby, Leicestershire The London Ambulance Service said the total number of people taken to hospital may not be known until Wednesday morning.

The London Fire Brigade declares a major incident after a number of fires break out in areas around the capital Thirty fire engines and 175 firefighters to a grass fire on Pea Lane in Upminster, where smoke billowed over the M25 motorway SE: Definitely, yes. There were things that surprised me that we came across. It was serendipity with some of the images we found, many weren’t in display in galleries anywhere, so there’s nowhere else to see them. It was about looking beyond the obvious stuff people have been spoon fed and also to introduce new artists that people may not have been aware of.
