young young film academy and some of north korea's brightest young stars. i. what did it take to serve a national propaganda machine? ah, a compelling portrait of the privileged lives of the countries elite. rewind north korea. cinema of dreams. analogy 0. ah the ah. welcome back. let's just recap your top story. so thought this to grow and rebels in northern ethiopia. i've taken control of the ancient ton of bloody baylor unesco will heritage site complex has widened into neighboring regions across recent weeks

. around the president abraham racy has been sworn into office in his speech. his inaugural speech, he promised to focus on diplomacy with regional rival of emphasis talks with the united states to have sanction lifted. the number of new daily corona virus infections in tokyo has gone beyond 5000 the 1st time since the beginning that the panoramic japanese government has extended emergency measures to fate. more regions . a fast moving wildfire has wrought through a town in the us state of california. the dixie fire, as it's called, has been burning for 3 weeks and was swept up by strong wind that hit the tunnel greenville event q e say most of the time center was destroyed and the heat was so intense that street lights melted. john henderson is our correspondent, john his live here on the news from quincy in northern california. an hour south of the town destroyed by that particular blaze. over to john

peter, i am in quincy. this is the headquarters for the task force for the eastern section of this fire, the dixie fire. and that tells you how big it is. there is also a task force in charge of the western sector, and you can see behind me the plumes of smoke from the most recent increase in that fire, where it swept over that town of greenville that is greenville. behind us. let me bring in somebody, you can tell us a lot more about what happened. tim jones is a public information officer for this eastern sector. and let me ask you, just for starters, what happened in the past 24 hours over the last 24 hours. we've had explosive fire growth, driven by winds out of the west and south west meter and ologist have given a red flag warning where we have historically dry conditions. mo, humidity, low fuel moisture combined with those winds that drove the fire in their fire

was fed by winds is over 60 kilometers an hour. pretty high winds and the winds are a little lower today. what's, what are the priorities for today? so the priorities today are to aggressively attack fire perimeter, north of drain volts. greenville still has active fire and a structure assessment going on at the same time. we're still continuing to fight to fire our firefighters and our aerial resources are working in concert to drop retarded, and water. well, our ground crews and dozers and heavy equipment and engines are working to provide structure protection in round north, around valley impact valley and williams valley. and let's talk about the quincy fire. i'm sorry, the very dixie fire, rather, it was 24 hours ago. it was considered the 8th largest fire in california history now, which is 6 largest, this is really a huge conflagration. tell us a little about it. so over 4700 people are here today. fighting this fire over the

last 24 hours. we've experienced these red flag conditions and the fires thrown over 50000 acres. and i understand that pacific gas and electric has said that it might have sparked the fire from its equipment. although that is yet to be determined. can you talked about what has caused this and other fires? so this fire specifically is still under investigation. but over the, in the pacific northwest in the western united states in california, we have dry lightning storms that come through. and those lighting starts can cause hundreds of fires. most of those fires do not get to the size. most of those are extinguished in the 1st 24 hours. but number of fires, most fires that we're dealing with right now are caused by lightning. there are tens of thousands of firefighters battling these blazes across the western united

states. something like nearly a 100 fires in 13 states. this has to be unusual activity, right? unfortunately it's, it's fairly normal activity. it's a little earlier in the season to be this active. we do have over 20000 resources currently in multiple states fighting these fires and the dry conditions, the historic drafts of california has been experiencing. i'm is contributing to that earlier onset of fire season. awesome. what tim jones? thank you for giving us a little better. seeing what exactly is going on here. thank you very much and stay tuned because we are going towards the town of greenville to see up close. what happened there? peter? john, many things we'll talk to you soon. i'm sure the wildfire that threatened a power plant in the south west of turkey has finally been contained after aging. for more than 11 hours, strong winds drove the fire towards the chemical power plant. in the province of

navy landing craft deployed to help evacuate residents by sea, at least 8 people have been killed in dozens of wildfires. across turkey. russell said is near that power plant in the area called me last. he says the authorities are doing everything they can stop the power plant from catching fire. we are in, in, in the village of cameras. and mill us where the power plant is. and you can see that behind me, that is the maximum distance that we can approach because the security p at the security forces are 100 people from getting closer to the power plant. but it is still too risky that has been report of the wildfires in the surrounding areas of the power plants through the last couple of days. but yesterday that was at the blames. the blazes came to a very critical distance early in the morning, and then it has been taken under the control. but at afternoon the flames returned

back and the fire fighters managed to put them also out. but at the nighttime, the, the 3rd wave came and it was the most critical one, because for the 1st time, the fires got into the terminal power plant. so it has been through the or that the heart a force and work it has been managed to be pulled out, but there are still many fires nearby. and given the control the weather conditions, the strong winds, it can be carried out into the power the power plan score. and if that happens, it will not only trigger an explosion, but probably and right a mantle disaster as well. no. staying in the mediterranean, half of europe, more than $100.00 wildfires raging across greece to one of the hardest hit areas that the island of area where many people have been forced to flee, looking for safety, the worst heat wave, and more than 30 years. feeling the flames. there's in basra,

be in athens. he says the wildfire showed no sign of slowing down. indeed, the fires in the north of athens had been put out. but let me show you where we're at. now. we've come back to the north of athens and just earlier today, fires re ignited and from of, from the high ground up here. you can get a sense of how serious and how bad the situation is. right now. what we're looking at down in that valley, just at the base of the pony for mountains. that is the area of very bobby, the town there. korea naughty, there are 3 active wildfires there that we know of. we actually saw another one bubbling up along the base of the mountain on the way up. another fire that was emerging and starting, those are 3 very active and the government says very dangerous forest fires. they have re ignited on the same day that it was announced that the fires that had been going on for 48 hours had actually been put out. if you look at how high the smoke is rising and how quickly the flames are spreading, the smoke is so high up in the air, someone commented that it looked more like a mushroom cloud from a massive explosion than an ash cloud from a fire. and if you look ahead, you can see how close the flames are spreading to major populated areas. we knew

the 2 areas had been ordered to be evacuated immediately. but if you look down there, those white houses with the roof that you're seeing in front of you, those are all an area known as korea, natty and a resident who has joined us up here on the high ground has just said he's come from there. and they've ordered that area evacuated as well. so the circumstances here in the north of athens, very serious, no less serious around the rest of the country area. major evacuations ordered there, as well as in southern greece and the palate. one is and in multiple areas new climate data has revealed that july was the 3rd hottest month ever recorded. you sciences, say they were unusually high temperatures in region stretching from finland all the way to the united states. they say there is an underlying warming trend around the world. the full, hottest julys have been in the past 5 years. the white house is promising action on climate change, the climate crisis. the u. s. president joe biden will sign an executive order

calling for electric cars to make up half of new vehicle sales in the states by the 21st. let's talk now to spend buy cookie joyce's life from stanford, california via skype. he's the founder and managing director of silicon valley mobility that some ability consulting and advisory firm spend by a 2030 for half of all new car sales to be electric. that does feel very, very ambitious on the part of the biden administration. it does absolutely. but let me be clear, i think it is actually what the industry needs because for the last give or take 10, if not 20 years, the industry has made offer her like here's our electric vehicle and off the consumers. we're not buying those to. so the extent actually needed in order to mitigate climate change. and now if the administration steps up and pass here, that will go for 2030. i think that's what's needed for everybody to align on, which means industry and consumer. so i think it's up to you to step in the right

direction by being ambitious, but this is how we move things forward. do you think maybe behind the scenes, mr. biting those? he won't hate that ambitious target, but that's maybe not the point. maybe the point is to focus mines, so people start building the infrastructure, people start building those charging stations. people get to the stage where they're not worried about range is use in your electric vehicle. yeah, i think that it, that is part of it. i don't know, maybe one can compare this to the moon shop. you need to put out ambitious goals to really get things moving as opposed to incremental change. it's just good enough. so i think it's part of, that's what you just said to really put out a goal and then everything else, what is needed, not just people buying cars, but also the infrastructure. and probably other things as all, talk about recycling of all the, the codes with all these precious materials in there. but also i want to say, let's see what actually the wording is going to be because there is

a difference in between electric vehicles. electrified to be codes, and there are emission vehicles for a similar to milk right there regular mode. they are low fat milk and no fat milk and maybe even old milk. and so we've got to see what kind of milk they they want us to buy here, but it's the right direction. ok, does that mean if we're talking about 2 percent milk? let's talk about hybrid vehicles. does that mean whilst can i suggest you as well while people who like driving their big trunk or toy gas guzzlers, we see it here in the middle east. of course we do very difficult gig to get people out of those trucks out of those 567 seater s t v. 's in america, in canada, across the middle east, in countries in africa where they are, they are absolutely a requirement of life because of the distances that people have to carry to have to come rather. but can you get people to go from those vehicles to hybrid vehicles so

when they are driving around the city or a town, they can do 3040 miles on electric energy and then plug it in overnight because i think the statistic is 90 percent of the vehicle sit idle, 90 percent of the time, anyway. net that's, that's exactly right. and what do you 1st mention can be hybrid. so plugin hybrid those vehicles that you can actually overnight and get your 3040 mile or, or 5060 kilometer. and that would qualify us an electric vehicle and a 0 emission at times. and actually the right thing, when people only drive their 2030 miles per day, that's all electric, that's fine. but they would consider that we could because they still got the gasoline engine that give them the com for i can drive all the way across long distances. so therefore i might purchase this vehicle still and it's clean by the way. so i think this is how we need to get consumer by those. and by the way,

if the goal is 50 percent, hey, you can look at as this this the glass is half full or. busy half empty, maybe they could be even more vicious. we know california, for instance, california fed for 203500 percent electrified. so we'll see what we're heading in the right direction then. okay, spend by a good stokes you spend. thank you so much. my pleasure. absolutely. oh, i can attention that to afghanistan where the security forces, they're fighting defensive battles as the taliban pushed to capture. regional capitals. grand troops have been repelling a tax on multiple fronts. as taliban fighters advance on her at kandahar and laska gar. they've been backed by strikes from the african air force and more special forces have arrived in helmand, where the taliban has been fighting in the heart of the provincial capital. the un says afghan astound health system is struggling to cope with civilian casualties. i

can tell you that we're deeply concerned about the safety and protection of people in la chicago in the south, where tens of thousands of people could be trapped by the fighting or humanitarian colleagues also tell us that in helman and kandahar they are reported, increased civilian casualties, destruction or damage to civilian houses, as well as to critical infrastructure, including hospitals, hospitals and health workers are becoming overwhelmed by the number of wounded people. now in columbia, 2 prominent men from opposing sides of the decades long conflict have, for the 1st time, appeared publicly before a thing called the truth commission. and the gatherings of victims. they apologized for atrocities committed during a civil war, in which around 260000 people were killed. is daniel swim la on the way, but the bush men said they wanted the help hill columbia's wounds in

a spirit of reconciliation. they spoke by video link to 800 victims from all sides and the bloody conflict that lasted over 50 years. those who lost loved ones or themselves kidnapped or forced from their homes. getting in the you june, did with the former for leader with regal. daniel, better known as tim, which ankle admitted that his group had been responsible for killing civilian victims, which he said was a part of the conflict. he was beginning to hate to look at his control by louder. i can't find the words to match the pain suffered by the victims. unfortunately, there are no words for such pain. i've said it before and i'll repeat that i am proud to be one of the protagonist in this peace process. going as honest parmesan, but much of what they said was confirmation of what had long been allege. i guess i missed you celebratory mancuso and actually with right wing paramilitary forces, speaking now from prison in the united states where he's serving time for drug trafficking. he said his group often worked with the columbia military and police

to track down what they perceived as a common enemy. did you sign? when i'm to go see him? i'm very conscious. there's no way to turn back time that we can't get rid of the scars. we can't bring back the dead or wipe for my memories. the displacements, the pain, and the absences peak is top rated. but this was perhaps one of the most dramatic episodes in the long running piece process. 2 of the major protagonists for opposing sides in the conflict. expressing remorse, revealing something of what motivated them follow up out of the bill or the only buster. the truth can be avoided, repetition, and as you have both said, many times a chief reconsideration of the country. the conflict ran from the mid 19 sixty's until peace. the cause was signed in 2016, that it killed an estimated 260000 people and displaced a further 9000000. the truth commission was set up to let colombians know what

became of their loved ones to help them understand what happened to their country. these latest testimonies may have answered some questions, but many more still remain unanswered. then sharla, which was era still come on this program for you. the sports news, a messy situation. spanish giant barcelona have confirmed this star player is leaving details on that braking support story of atlanta. when we come back, i brought to you by accenture. let there be change the news

with me. booty by extension that there be change? oh, a welcome back to the bell, the russian olympics spring. christina seminal, sky

a says she fears for her life if she is supposed to return home. the 24 year old has spoken publicly about taking refuge in poland, saying she's happy to be in safety quotes. the athlete claims she was taken to tokyo was main airport against her will on sunday, after she publicly criticized her coaches. time for all your international sports news as santa thank you very much. if he fell after months of speculations, spanish giants barcelona, i have just announced that lou now miss you will not be staying with the club. he 54 year old argent time has been a free agents since the 1st of july when he's deal expired. and despite the club and pe, reaching an agreement with the intention to sign a new contract on thursday, the club said that this cannot happen because of financial and structural obstacles . while doing us now is international football. john is gavin hamilton, gavin, how shocking is this development?

well, it's not, it's not shocking because the problems are lona run very easy financially. they are in big trouble. they are trying to move, having to sign the resign little messy. the contract was proving very difficult to negotiate. there are additional problems with the spanish leak in terms of their budget for next season. they have to stay within a very strict wait budget, and they failed to provide guarantees to the spanish league that they will be able to meet the criteria. so this could be a sort of bluff with the spanish courses to try and get them to tweak the rules. so allow them to read on and leave a message. but it does seem like this is a, a policy of the way. and that messy is not prepared to accept a very huge wage hutch most. he's looking elsewhere. it does seem to know that they cannot reach agree, so govern what's, what's next for the arjun time well,

there were clubs in the world that couldn't afford to saw you. i would say there are only really 2 options for him to wealthy clubs in the world. manchester, 60 and parish, thank you. mark match. the city today have just broken the british transfer record to saw in jack greenish from ashton villa. 400000000 pounds. so i don't think they have the resources to saw missy a because this is moving so quickly. i think paris and probably the only option in terms of the club with the resources to citing the will turnitin that he takes a little bit time out of the game. maybe signs for majorly, soccer that's been so in the past of him moving and ending his career in america or even returning home to rosario in, in austin teena. that's a long term possibility. but i think at the moment i restart my most likely destination. well, i guess we'll just have to wait and see gavin hamilton, international football. jonah, thank you very much for that. while spain san japan,
