the, the, this is the w use life from the land. wild fires rage the, the great capital assets. thousands of people play 55 is one of the dangerous conditions as the play spread spike like russia, under attack, the governor of another border region. notice civilian evacuations as brushing forces baffled to push back and you've plenty and inc, cogent and they don't use jonathan crates. they've set the highs and lows of the olympics, 2 weeks of hide parties for an hour of us. or how will these power stay in the city? remember, we take a look at the heroes and icons excites plus the controversy of, of both pollution agenda. the

been visible and welcome breaks, has ordered the evacuation of hospitals and homes near the capital athens. as wild fires continue to spread hundreds of find, find it as a bad thing. the flames, which have breached more than 25 meters high in some places, private estate, katiano, goldsmiths of targets has cut short his holiday in return to the capital. to deal with the prices raises exceptionally vulnerable to file fires. the country has now seen its hardest summer on record, with many regions experiencing no significant brain full in months from athens, journalist and they got us out, gave us the latest on the wi fi split is scary and higher, and yet again, at least 10 communities have been with thousands of people have been ordered to evacuate from their homes near the region of knob, which is the main,

a front line of this ferocious wildfire. and that is some 40 kilometers, just north of the greek capital, more than for other communities. and further south of that are on stand by its residents, been notified by the authorities to be ready to push out and move further south. the story is, of course, have mobilized more than $400.00 firefighters on the grounds. dozens of fire bombers in the air, trying not to dallas out the fire, but literally to, to, to bring it into check after it sparked yesterday mid afternoon. and because of gale force winds, and because of a pro long drought here, literally spread out a lightning speed towards the east to store towns,

for example, like mattress on has also been evacuated. the prime minister has cut short, he's vacation coming to athens, to oversee all these operations. smoke has been so intense uh that it build and literally close has closed the center of athens, keeping many residents on tours also in shock and panic, seen skies kind of turn into this yellow brown to and ashes kind of showered across the capitol. authorities are advising athenians, especially those with respiratory problems to, to, to stay in some side and remained behind shut doors and closed windows. and it's obvious that after greece is all just winter,

we are now seeing holidays. greece is record temperatures here, especially in june and july that have contributed to climate change that have created this really that pop. tell me um that is feeding this fire. i think can we expect to see any relief in the coming days, considering officials a warning that hosp the country is at high risk? absolutely, half the country is at high risk because of these high temperatures. and because of gale force winds that show no sign of abating in the next couple of days. so it really comes down to those firefighters on the ground volunteers soldiers. everyone has been mobilized means to be seen. also, the, the government would be calling on obviously, you assistance to come to come in, i think, how does, how about with the latest for grace? thank you very much. authorities in another bus and border region have ordered

evacuations over ukraine's cross border incursion. the governor of one district of belgrade has told presidents to print the tags, process as ukrainian troops of advanced by optics, so he'd kill them because across the board at the surprise move that starting cost marks the largest attack on russian soil. since the ball began. keith correspond to nick connelly gave me this update on the ukrainian offensive to look i think. yeah, we were expecting that almost the weekend. we would have a better handle on what exactly is going on in court reasons, but it seems more or less to be the opposite situations. we've had to clamp down from original authorities on civilians posting stuff, social media. so those videos we had in the 1st few days of destroyed rushing me a kind of convoys. those have stopped similar situation with the so called mid a cheap logos. these bloggers will close the rest military who were pretty uh, you know, kind of panic and obese. beating the drums of the russian government wasn't taking

this seriously. those 2 days. they have gotten down and pull them into line and hit the crane. so i just keep you very tight lips when we do get stuff posted by ukraine soldiers. it often seems to be a couple of days out of date, but does still seems to be the case. the ukraine forces are about 30 kilometers deep, interested in the quick squeeze. and we've had reports of incursions at other places on the border and build the region and in other parts course region. and there is a sense that the ukraine is on a role. we've had reports by another saying that russia had built defenses in this part of its board with ukraine, but the just wasn't enough boots on the ground and enough of munitions and other equipment that actually make those defenses work. so basically, once the crane, your soldiers had pos, those both defensive lines, they could basically take much territory as they wanted and didn't really find much in the way of russian soldiers. and if there were that they would most likely conscripts, people in the early twenties with no me a fighting experience in the front lines who weren't able to put, put up much of a fight. and this is the biggest ukrainian incursion, if it's type in this will what could it achieve? of the quote present zaleski has kicked in a very,

quite he hasn't given any kind of broad aims to basically just talked about basically giving russian taste of its own medicine. i think they are very coach the fact that they put too high expectations on the counter offensive last year and they would face the training it to month for it actually happened and then were able to meet unable to meet expectations this time i think it's pretty opportunistic, just seeing how much certainly they can take a look. see this is great and we're out in ukraine often months of bad news. it's also very bad for morality in russian obsolete here. that'd be preaching. basically unable to secure his own country's board, let alone you know, take control of the ukraine. so that is, you know, a win for ukraine will search. and actually it shows your western countries may be thought that ukraine was basically running out of steam. but there is still a resource kind of base that i think there was a hoping to force the russians to take trips away from the front lines in the east of ukraine's and yet screeching with the russians being really pushing forward. we've had reports that russia is having to move. it's playing to save ation. that's

being crucial to it's uh, advanced on the ground to court region, and they're all now increasing reports of sol just being moved from the kind of less high priority pots the front lines. and you probably not yet from place like up across school. just if you are, obviously this will take time that sort of thing that happens within a couple of days. but the hope is that that this could really allow you printing troops. and these, they've been suffering to basically have a break and to have less of a russian supremacy kind of opposite them. and you're potentially, that's been the suspicion that this could also be some kind of a swapping future. the ukraine takes directory in russia to then a for as a trade for the rest of the budget. great. all of these things are still speculative, but for now, i think given the kind of seemingly relatively small investment in terms of resources and manpower, i think this is going back to then, you know, most ukrainians of us would have expected just a few days ago. they connelly in case thank you very much for the analysis. the 2024 olympics have come to a close dw 's. jonathan crane was in paris for the big event and gave us his

perspective on the highs as lots for 2 weeks of high quality sport. and now every of us or how will these parish games be remembered? so let's start with the highs. despite heavy security and face of the country, the friendship embrace, these games stadiums have been most before. and so how do i like to lay on most strong have read 805, and the country? i feel like it turns berries for a bit for a week. it's been magic here. it's been a success to john takes has been amazing athlete. mother had been able to share in that magic with the i didn't pick vintage, featuring a nursery for the very 1st time. legend 3 american springs, allison phoenix has been instrumental in that project and my message to all the mothers as you are capable. you are absolutely capable to have your best performances. after childbirth, parisians have seen the city transformed into an opening stadium that i clinic, landmarks like the eiffel tower turned into spectacular venue. just don't mention

this one, the river send pollution level is a constant worry for organizes with a trash on. on swimming, motorist and events. most effective, some swim is even reported sickness. but the tillman and story of these of impacts has been in the books in competition. they mon kelly for vouch area in taiwan. so when you think will both set to have failed 10 to test last year, i didn't pick rose meant they could still compete. but that participation has raised questions. i've offended the safety and inclusion in women sports coats in the middle of the books. this stuff with horrible abuse on social media if you had and then i asked people to stop bullying all athletes because this has massive effects. it can destroy people. and this, despite the negative attention vice kelly for add link to coating the gold medal fable, say they've silence that critique for the why the debate will shortly rumble and long beyond these other impacts. and joining a symbol is done your boss alona the closing ceremony compared to the opening

ceremony which caused so much controversy. well, the closing ceremony was definitely more traditional, let's say, because it was not held on the sun under the rain. it was an this difference. but it was still very artistic and spectacular. we saw a lot of the same categories and the opening ceremony, this golden voyager. we saw dancers that kind of look like mummies and acrobats that looked a little bit like aliens. but it was all very spectacular. and now since the next billing backs will be held in los angeles, it was kind of that passing of the torch. there was the american national anthem, and then you could start to hear the chords for mission impossible. and then tom cruise is on the roof and he jumped down into the stadium and he takes the flag and then he brings it to l, a by sky diving out of a plane. and then the closing ceremonies is bare. and l a and then we saw, you know, the red hot chili peppers reformed in billy iowa. dr. dre, and of course, the unofficial or official uh, olympic mascot's, new dog also performed, i think,

for me, would, would made it perfect, was if the golden voyager was revealed to be smooth dog, but it was great. otherwise, what about the competition your highlights? it's so hard to pay to just a few highlights and so little time. but i think we have to start with 22 year olds . we all martian the french swimmer who essentially became a sensation in these olympics. of course, he was for the, for an individual events with gold medals. he won 2 of those gold medals in the same day that's actually never been done before, not even by michael phelps. and a lot of people actually comparing him to michael phelps. so staying and swimming, of course katy with becky. she was already the greatest women's swimmer of all time . coming into the olympics. every time she gets in the pool, she wins another metal. it breaks another record. of course, um small bottles coming back from her mental health break. so really change the narrative. yeah. around mental health winning more meadows so dominant and her competitions. of course, 41 year old cuban wrestler, my he lopez,

he won 5. it straight olympic gold medals. so when he won his 1st metal gold medal on the olympics, there were some athletes and this one that weren't even born yet. so. great. what about uh, gender power. do you have? okay. yeah, so this case has been incredibly significant for women. the i will see really committed to gender parity. so in this games there was 50 percent men and women athletes in the games. there were more female events, more mixed events, which was cool because men and women competing together, they also committed to more visibility. so putting women's events in prime time broadcasting slots and planning it so that they didn't compete with them ends, events. you can watch both. the women's marathon also closed out the games which has never been done before. also, for the 1st time in history, the olympic village had a nursery for parent athletes, of course, is benefited men and women because parenting is a job, of course,

for men and women. so families could use the nursery, which was great. but of course, as a female professional, asking myself, i can tell you that you know, the discussion around becoming a parent and keeping your professional career going. it affects women more than men in this case. but these initiatives are really fantastic to see me olympics and hopefully we can just improve moving forward. you want to be jumping into this in any time, so i don't think so. no talk with you next terrace? nope. nope. you buffalo to thank you very much for coming in. thanks and a reminder, i'll bounce up story this out. authorities in greece say a wildfire on the northern fringes of athens, as raging out of control avoided the evacuation of hospitals and homes in the capital. hundreds of fund appliances of bath, like the blanks of next sound documentary looks at how the nazi by jane was able to cover up the atrocities committed throughout the 2nd world war i paid for the length of the decks. now with full well do you want to stay with

the on the long voyage through the ocean and mother, how well was the cost for a long time? they had to be a human. so met johnny. now the trenches have become very protective of whales until the results of ocean conservation stats of tend to full. i'm d w the .
