No end in sight for those in Europe suffering from record breaking temperatures in the heatwave. 

More than 1,300 deaths have been linked to the record-breaking temperatures – some well exceeding 40 degrees. 

Alcohol sales have been restricted, and there's no more space in the Parisien mortuaries.
