The BBC's Victoria Craig reports on how things are made worse with extreme temperatures around the globe - and why rising food prices and pressures on farmers are symptoms. The UK Prime Minister Theresa May is on her third and final day visiting Africa, ending in Kenya. We get the latest on the ground to find out more about the trading relationship between the two.
