Quick Dip of world news begins with scorching heatwaves in the US and wildfires in Europe. In the US, 70% of Americans will feel the 90-degree heat (Fahrenheit), which is more than 32 degrees Celsius.

In other news, we'll explore UK's DNA mapping project, Italy's giant batteries, K-pop stars BTS disbanding, and the garlic-for-homes scheme in China.

Plus, we're doing a podcast swap featuring Jack to the Future — a fortnightly kids podcast on the future of science, invention, and the world, from Jack.
