degrees. at least 3000 people had to flee their homes. the wild fire burned out of control in a mountain. rage in southern spain. many evacuees are staying in a makeshift shelter in the nearby city of malaga. was very fast. we had to get made . i didn't think i didn't take it too seriously. i thought they had it under control and i was quite surprised whenever it started seem to be moving our direction and then we were told to go show no, we've left a lot of behind we just found a few essential and her. we've just grabbed a few essential and just ran really and by that stage, everybody along the street, the car, yours was on the move cars and, and on, and then straight the will of ambulances and fire engines and you know, movement. everybody seemed to be, well, we got a yeah. the thank you they, i think we hell, hey, i'm working like this. and then i see her,

the fire and the air wash her white. and then worse. she was like a said and that more the 1st time i think it smelt okay. well, some of the most serious fires have been in portugal where the temperature is expected to hover around 42 degrees celsius until later in the week. dozens of fires have destroyed thousands of hector as a forest this month. the government is expected to decide sunday weather to extend a week long state of contingency, and more than a 100 firefighters are working to extinguish blazes on the greek island of crete. hot and gusty winds are making their job difficult. people have been evacuated from a number of villages and holiday villas. in the u. k, the government has held an emergency meeting as forecasters protect record temperatures on monday and tuesday. and the country is starting to look south to help prepare for a harder future at improper reports from london in

parts of southern europe like here in spain, forest fires and nothing new, but could conditions experienced in the south soon be the normal swear. here in britain, the government's been holding emergency meetings and for the 1st time a red warning has been sued for the heat rather than floods. winds. people are being warned as a 50 percent chance of temperatures reaching 40 celsius more than one degree above the old time record. a studies found heat waves across europe have increased $3.00 to $4.00 times faster than in the rest of the northern mid latitudes, including north america. and much of that is driven by changes to atmospheric circulation, known as the jet stream. whether or not that's directly due to human activity, scientists say our continued use of fossil fuels means we're already seeing what was previously predicted for 2050. we are still increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which means global temperatures are increasing. and this means that this is probably something that will be, be cool, life in

a 3 decades to come. so one thing might also be to change that conversation, but actually it's not that it's a question about life and death and not just for the global south, but also for citizens in the u. k. and despite news reports concentrating on, seems like this you can helpful for it is a warning. the heat can be deadly, even for healthy people. climate change has been driving extreme temperatures for decades, and the heat is killing more and more people here in england in the summer of 2020 more than 2 and a half 1000 excess decks were attributed to heat waves, and they've only become more intense and more frequent since then, the british red cross predicts that the annual heat waves death toll could have tripled by the middle of this century. in much of europe, the increase in heat waves poses urgent questions about how society adapts from education to working patterns to transport and housing. some believe it's high time we faced up to a hot future. nadine bob al jazeera london al jazeera senior meteorologist everson

fox explains what's driving the extreme weather in europe where heat waves occurred because the heat has been pumping its way out of the north west of africa across spain and ports where we have seen a record breaking temperatures, carla cloud, just off shore from the iberian peninsula, been drawing winds in from assembly direction. that's going to continue making its way further north was as your source high, this area of high pressure here, just ease is a little further east. was it opened the floodgates for that heat to surge up across surf france pushing up towards the u. k. by the time we come to monday temperatures here getting up to around 35 celsius in london or more touch warmer still as we go one into tuesday and somewhere across the u. k. into the south and east, i suspect we'll see temperature getting close to if not touching 40 degrees celsius . thankfully by wednesday something a little fresher, just topples in from western past that he just searches into central parts of

europe. so is it down to climate change? that's the big question. well, as you can see from these nasa chars, climate scientists have been telling us for decades now that we are led to see an increase in the severity and the frequency of heat ways because of global warming. and we take a closer look at the u. k. his some of that evidence here as well. since 1900 to 2002 temperatures of reach 35 degrees celsius on 9 occasions since 2003. we've seen that occur on 7 occasions, 7 outs of the 10 hottest years here have occurred since 2003 a plane carrying a potentially dangerous cargo has crossed the northern greece. people near the side of the cross we're told to stay indoors because of fears. that toxic material may have been released into the air. greek authorities say the plane was operated by ukraine based company and was flying from serbia to bangladesh. because put their

neighbor panels to beat them off. i wonder how it didn't fall in our houses because it came from over there. it was full of smoke. it had a noise i can describe and went over the mountain. it passed a mountain and turned and crashed into the fields. there were flames. we were scared, a lot of calls came, but they could not approach because they were continuous exclusions and emergency services use the drone to survey the wreckage firefighters could not initially approach the crops cross site because of continuing explosions. members of the army explosives, expert in greek, atomic energy commission, are also there. the methods is assisting either the measurements at the moment have not shown anything, but nonetheless, instability of the field was observed in other words, and to smoke and heat, as well as a white substance that we do not recognize. so a special armed forces team has to inform us of what it is and whether we can enter the field or the

russia and miss all strikes have had a number of towns in ukraine. it follows a declaration from moscow that it was ramping up the tax in all operational areas. russia says its forces destroyed arms factoring the city of denise pro for me on this. let's bring an alan fisher who's joining us from keith to give us an update on what's going on on the ground. alex well, it appears that there is a war of attrition developing in 2 parts of the country. first of all, around the dawn by syria where the russians on intent and in moving into the hands to take over the entire body of the don bus was of course became that main military focus after they failed to capture cave. in the early days of the war, they are reinforcing there we are told that their rece applying their troops, that they get ready for a final push in that area to try and take over dumbass. meanwhile, in the south, the russians are fortifying their positions improving their security because the ukrainians have said that they will assemble

a 1000000 man army to take back territory in the side. that is perhaps more aspirational than practical, but it certainly shows the ukrainian intent and certainly over the last few hours of heard reports of ukrainian attack on carson, which they claim killed. 36 russians and destroyed a number of russian ammunition dumps. but we know are and cason body, a polish appalachia at the russians are digging in and making sure that their security is incredibly tight. while all of this is happening, we're still hearing reports of rockets tax in places like my cous love weird. at least 3 people have been killed in rockets that started to fall before dawn and continued until just a few hours ago. and now the russian defense minister says that the russians will start increasing military pressure. that they will go in the areas that they need to go ask for president zalinski here in ukraine. he believes that that's an indication from the russians that they will continue to target civilian areas.

saying that that's exactly what they've done over the last few weeks. of course, you remember there was a significant rocket attack on friday at the ukrainians were saying that it was a residential block in a factory that was hit that killed so many people at. but the russians say what they were actually targeting a meeting of the ukrainian navy high command, something that the ukrainians deny. and of course, and a lot of these cases i'll just either can independently verify many of these claims or what's important to remember is that it's now been 20 weeks since since the war began. and in that time, people continue to be killed or at alan. thank you so much. alan fisher reporting from keith. no vigils been hilton's for lanka to remember those killed during political unrest. anger over the soaring costs of fuel food and medicines has let to months of anti government protest. got pirate pack, sir, who fled to singapore was forced to resign as president prime minister ran,

things are coming to play and people are not happy because as much as you have the political crisis unfolding. people have attribute that to the way it has come and impacted their lives on a day to day basis. and that is frustration, anger. yeah, sounds like it. okay, thank you so much. michelle fernandez, reporting from colombo. he was president joe biden has arrived back in washington after a 4 day trip to the middle east. on saturday. he told a regional summit and saudi arabia us remains engaged in the region and will not give up influence to russia, china or iran. but he fail to achieve what matters most to the americans. and that's bringing down oil prices. a saudi arabia refused to raise production. still ahead on al jazeera, india is ban on some single used plastics is causing controversy as people try to adapt. and why one bar and music wants to serve you as stout in exchange for your

a touch higher as we go on through choose even hearing about the 40 in the u. k as well. if we do get that, that is likely to be somewhere between london and lincoln about eastern side of england as we go on through a choose day. so that's certainly one to keep an eye on. thankfully, somewhat fresh of weather just makes its way in from the west. as we go on through sunday we got some showers cross northern parts of scotland as we go on through west sunday. some showers there just around there, scandinavia some wetter and cooler weather. notice a which was at east side of you 1920 celsius here, and we are going to see one or 2 showers continued to feed for the east cat r, airway official airline of the journey. talk to al jazeera, we ask you be more specific, how many jobs are you asking for? and what kind of military equipment we listen, asked the people of cuba industry. if there is a difference between donald trump angel bite for them, it's the same. we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that

rapidly. and very significantly going down something like 45 percent by 2030. and we had a long way from that at the moment. but given that we haven't been able to turn around those greenhouse gas emission trajectories, that means we have to adapt to the climate change is experiencing now, and we'll experience over the next decade. so everything from putting more green spaces in cities to, to cooler cities down to having more heat reflective building materials and road materials so that they don't absorb the energy but reflected back out into the atmosphere. gunman have killed 10 people in an attack on traders in indonesia as popular province. the attackers are believed to be separatist rebels on members of the west poplar liberation army. holy say, most of the victims were migrants from other engineers in islands. violence is intensified in the province since last year. when rebels set fire to several schools and killed 2 teachers. thousands of hungarians of rallied for
