Five ways to keep your kids cool in the heat
IT can be really difficult - and costly - to keep kids cool when it's hot outside. But Fabulous Digital Senior Reporter and mum-of-two Sarah Bull shares five ways to help, and they won't break the budget either.
Strip them off
It might sound simple, but stripping kids off at home can really help them regulate their temperature when it's warm outside. Just remember to regularly apply suncream, as more of their skin will be exposed to the sun.
Cool down bedrooms before nighttime
When it's hot outside, it can be difficult for kids to go to sleep - especially if their bedroom feels like an oven. If you have a room that's not in direct sunshine, keep the windows open to let in a breeze. It's also a good idea to keep the curtains closed, to prevent the room from heating up.
Wear a hat
Another simple technique, but one that really works. Make sure that if your kids are playing outside, they've got a hat on. It keeps their face and head shielded from the sun, and also helps if you've got a little one who struggles with bright sunlight. If your tot struggles to keep a hat on, try one with a strap that goes under the chin to help.
Avoid the car
The car can be one of the hottest places during a heatwave, and often takes a long time to cool down. If you have the option, it's better to stay at home rather than taking kids out anywhere in a hot car.
Stay hydrated
This is always important, but even more so in a heatwave. Make sure you're regularly reminding your kids to have a drink, and top them up with cool liquids whenever you can. Use ice too to ensure it's as cold as it can possibly be.
However, whilst we all love the sun, it can make us feel a little sticky and sweaty especially when trying to sleep at night.
And we tested fans to keep you cool in the summer – the winner costs 1p an hour to run.
Finally, from buying better bedding to keeping your PJs ON – here all the surprising ways to keep cool at night in a heatwave.

Morning Bid: 'Tariffs - use this version, please'

A look at the day ahead in European and global markets from Stella Qiu: It is tariff deadline day and President Donald Trump delivered by slapping fresh levies on imports from dozens of countries, including those that do not have a trade deal yet. Rates were set at 35% for Canada, 25% for India, 20% for Taiwan and 19% for Thailand. Switzerland got a whopping 39% -- one of the steepest -- raising the question: what's Trump got against the Swiss? Not buying enough American chocolate or watches? The big day comes after months of posturing, meetings, delays and truces, which prompted some investors to question what was a real threat and what was a bluff. Indeed, there is still much to be resolved. Arguably, most levies are lower than those threatened on April 2, which back then sent markets into a tailspin. Plus the big trade deals with Japan and the European Union have been reached while talks with China and Mexico are still ongoing. That is probably why market reaction this time has been much more muted. Sure, most Asian shares fell, but only modestly. South Korea is an exception, tumbling over 3%, in part due to domestic tax cuts being rolled back. Taiwan's president said the 20% levy is only temporary and is expected to be reduced further when a deal is reached. Wall Street and European shares did not seem to be too bothered by the tariff news. EUROSTOXX 50 futures slipped 0.3%. Both Nasdaq futures and S&P 500 futures fell 0.2%, thanks to a 6% tumble in Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab after its earnings failed to meet lofty expectations. Now, with the tariff news out of the way, euro zone flash CPI is due later in the day and expectations are for a slight easing to 1.9% in July from 2.0% in annual terms. Markets have only priced in half a cut from the European Central Bank by early next year. And then it's all about waiting for payrolls, which will be pivotal for hopes for a rate cut from the Federal Reserve in September, which is now priced at just 40%, way off 75% a month ago. Forecasts are centred on a 110,000 rise in July, while the jobless rate likely ticked up to 4.2% from 4.1%. Any upside surprises could price out the chance of a move next month, giving dollar bulls another reason to rally. The greenback is headed for the best week - with a gain of 2.5% against its peers - in nearly three years, solidifying its recent uptrend from a three-year low. It has found support from a hawkish Fed that has held off policy easing on tariff risks. And indeed, the Fed's preferred gauge of inflation came in a tad hotter overnight, showing some tariff impact.

Roku beats second-quarter revenue estimates as platform growth accelerates

July 31 (Reuters) - Roku (ROKU.O), opens new tab topped Wall Street estimates for second-quarter revenue on Thursday, helped by its expanding user base and advertising sales. Analysts expect connected TV to be one of the fastest-growing ad media outlets over the next three to five years as ad budgets shift from linear TV to streaming, with Roku being a key beneficiary given its leading scale and engagement. In June, Roku announced an advertising partnership with (AMZN.O), opens new tab, giving advertisers access to the largest authenticated connected TV footprint in the U.S., with a combined reach of 80 million U.S. households through the Amazon platform. "Roku's strategic focus on enhancing user experience is paying off, with the Roku Channel becoming the second most engaged app on the platform, and Roku TV operating system capturing nearly 40% of U.S. TV unit sales," said Kenneth Leon, director of equity research at CFRA. The company reported revenue of $1.11 billion for the quarter, compared to the analysts' average estimate of $1.07 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. Roku's platform segment — which includes advertising and subscription revenue — grew 18% to $975 million in the quarter, driven by video advertising and its acquisition of Frndly. It also announced a $400 million stock repurchase program. Roku expects third-quarter revenue of $1.2 billion, slightly above estimates of $1.17 billion.
