Climate Crisis: Italy braces for another heat wave

It is the latest in a long series of heat waves to have hit Italy so far this year, even though we are still in early summer.
The intense heat has exacerbated the nation's severe drought, which is causing massive problems for agriculture and has led to a state of emergency being declared in six northern regions.
Scientists say more frequent and more intense heat waves are among the consequences of climate changed caused by human activity.
