World Cup fans sweat through US 'heat dome'

As a “heat dome” radiates across the US east coast, fans are turning up in record heat to cheer on their teams in the middle of the World Cup.

Temperatures in parts of the north-east have soared to 38C, and Fifa has introduced hydration breaks during the match for players to cool down.

The BBC's Nada Tawfik caught up with fans at the New York New Jersey stadium, the venue for the finals which has no air conditioning installed, who are braving the heatwave to support their team.
