a few essentially and her we've just grabbed a few essentials and just run really. and by that stage, everybody along the street, the car, yours was on the move cars and, and on in the and street, the will of ambulances and fire engines and, you know, movement. everybody seemed to be, well, we got a year, a thank you. i think we hell he, i'm working like this and then i see her, the fire and the air was her white and then worse. she was like a said and that more the 1st time i think it's not ok. 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 is a force this month. the governance expected to decide sunday weather to extend a week long state of contingency,

and more than 100 firefighters are working to extinguish blazes on the greek islands of crete. hot and gusty winds are making their job difficult. people have been evacuated from a number of villages and holiday realize. in the u. k, the government has held an emergency meeting as forecast or predict record temperatures on monday and tuesday. and the country is starting to look south to help prepare for a hotter future. the bubble reports from london in pallets of southern europe like here in spain, forest fires and nothing new, but could conditions experienced in the south soon be the norm elsewhere. here in britain, the government's been holding emergency meetings and for the 1st time a red warning has been issued for the heat rather than floods. winds. people are being warned that 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 arisen because life in 3 decades to come. so one thing might also be to change that conversation, but actually it's not that it's the 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 vis you can helpful for it is a warning. the heat can be deadly, even for healthy people. climate change have been driving extreme temperatures for decades, and the heats 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 fits the annual heat waves death toll could have tripled by the middle of this century. in much of europe, the increasing 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. nadeem barbara al jazeera london al jazeera senior at meteorologist everett and fox explains what's driving the extreme weather in europe. well, a heat wave has 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 a suddenly direction. that's gonna continue making its way further north was as the source high, this area of high pressure here, just ease is a little further east. was it opened the flood gates for that heat to serge up

across surf, france pushing up towards the u. k. by the time we come to monday, tampa is here getting up to around 35 celsius in london or more touch warmer still as we go on into tuesday and somewhere across the u. k. into the south and east, i suspect we'll see temps getting close to if not touching 40 degrees celsius. thankfully by wednesday something a little fresher, just topples in from western past that heat 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. here some of that evidence here as well, since 1900 to 2002 temperatures of reach 35 degrees celsius on 9 occasions since 2003 were seen that occur on 7

a k to 7 out of the 10 hottest years here. have occurred since 2003 in china, electricians are trying to maintain power grids that are buckling under the strain of relentless heat waves. 68 cities, including shanghai have issued red alerts, meaning temperature is exceeding 40 degrees celsius or forecast for the next 24 hours. mark, how it is a climate change expert at the australian national university. he says reducing greenhouse gas level quickly is proving difficult, meaning people will have to adapt. there is a particular thing that is happening and that particularly related to changes in the jet stream. that's a, a high level, very fast moving band of. if that circulates the globe, and at the moment that's been changed by climate change. and that's bringing in this particular case, very hot air from site india across towards china. at this point, our emissions globally going up. they're not turning around the corner and starting

to go down. and if way to limit the effects of climate change, like the heat was, we're saying all the files that were saying we have to reduce those emissions very rapidly. and very significantly going down something like 45 percent by 2030. and we are a long way from that at the moment. but given that we haven't been able to turn around those greenhouse gas emission trajectories, it means we have to adapt to the climate change is very experiencing now, and we'll experience over the next decade. so everything from putting more green spaces in cities to cool cities down to i having more heat reflective building materials and road materials so that they don't absorb the energy but reflected back out into the atmosphere. russian missile strikes have had a number of talons in ukraine. it follows a declaration from moscow that it was ramping up a tax in all operational areas. russia says its force is destroyed in arms factory

a number of russian ammunition dumps. 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 zaleski here in ukraine. he believes that that's an indication from the russians that they will continue to target civilian areas. seeing that that's exactly what they've done over the last few weeks. and of course, you remember there was a significant rocket attack on friday at the ukrainians were saying that it was a residential block and a factory that was hit that killed so many people at but the rush and see what we were actually targeting a meeting of the ukrainian navy high command, what's important to remember is that it's now been 20 weeks his since the war began . and in that time people continue to be killed. voting as underway in a local bi election and pakistan's punjab province, which could have national implications. prime minister shabbat sharif muslim league

the industry employs millions of people, including faction, workers, and recyclers. waste management researchers said the band requires a transition. india has this huge challenge that we have to walk. we have a very complex, informal, sick day enterprise based on me. and we have to see that why we have to address the problem off reducing plastic. we also have to see the livelihoods are not last government agencies in new delhi say inspection teams have collected more than $150000.00 in fines. violators could also be arrested. more products are expected to be banned over the next few months. as india aims to become single use plastic free by the end of the 5 new mit the largest era, new delhi. sunday as world day for international justice. it aims to highlight the fight for the rights of victims. it's a cause that activists in lebanon had been pursuing for decades. then the reports
