Michael Buerk was one of the big names in newsreading in the 1980s, nowadays he's joined the others (Trevor McDonald, etc) in dealing mainly with travel programmes and other documentaries.
My lasting view of Buerk in particular was his news item in November 1984 from Ethiopia which one Bob Geldof noticed and changed a lot of peoples lives for the better for many years (until it all went back to square one again).
You can't do much about hot weather can you? Though you can try to educate people into not having dozens of babies without the means to give them a life. That's obvious to us in the western world I guess.
