a stunning font around of $64.00. some boundaries when the 1st major title of his ah welcome to the news, our europe is sweltering under a devastating summer heat wave which a sparked multiple wildfires and caused hundreds of heat related deaths. more than 14000 people have now been evacuated from their homes in southern france. as 2 huge fires tear through pine forest in the city of bordeaux in spain fight as there are trying to bring more than 30 blazes under control. but rugged terrain is hampering their efforts across the border in portugal, officials say 659 people have died due to the extreme heat over the past 7 days. most of them elderly greek fire chief say they are trying to cope with 71 new
12:03 am
blazes, which all broke out in the past 24 hours alone. and here in the u. k, the country as braced for record breaking heat, arrive on monday with temperatures predicted to reach 40 degrees celsius for the 1st time ever under there. as in bob in our ports for britain, it's a step into the unknown weather experts are putting the chance of temperatures reaching 40 celsius at 50 percent. it's never happened and it's prompted a red health warning for much of england on monday and tuesday, with the national health service warning of delayed operations and increased demands on ambulances. the government says it is taking the threat seriously with public guidance without where i mean the comments and stuff. make sure you have some cream. make sure you're constantly re hydrating down to some of the peak times . we got temperature sitting 40 degrees. i think it was doubtless on that mid day when, when, when, when that's happening. and despite seems like this experts say the extreme heat
12:04 am
over the coming days could be deadly even for healthy people. this isn't like a lovely day where we can put a bit of sunscreen on and go out and enjoy sweet an meal outside. this is serious. that could actually alternately ending in people's death because it is so ferocious and we're just not set up for that sort of heat in this country. climate change has been driving extreme temperatures for decades and the heat 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. the u. k. meteorological of his says climate change is greatly increased. the chance of such heat weighs here. and so in to say, our continued use of fossil fuels means we're already seeing what was previously
12:05 am
projected for 2050. we're still increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which means global temperatures are increasing. and this means that this is probably something that will be aaron's because he life in 3 decades to come. the one thing might also be to change that compensation, that 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 you can train operators a warning of delays and cancellations because of the heat the urging people only to make a central journeys with mo, legal, maximum temperature for working the government. sonya hopes employers will be flexible. the next few days could offer a glimpse of how well or how badly prepared this country is for a whole to future. nadeem barbara al jazeera london la stevens as an associate professor in climate risks and resilience at university of reading. she joins us live now. of course, we have been speaking for some time now about intensifying heat and wildfire in
12:06 am
southern europe. how significant is it that these scorching temperatures and now reaching as far north as brighton with temperatures here in this country expected to when she 40 degrees celsius? i think this is something that we should be really concerned by and i know myself and a lot of my colleagues are very worried about what exactly is going to happen in the u. k. or the next couple of days and how people, how well people are preparing for it as well. are people prepared for it in this country in terms of not just the individual but also communities, governments and infrastructure. so i think we've had very good warnings for this heat wave and the, and the communications of that warning have been very good. i feel myself that a lot of it has been placed on individual responsibility to take action. when actually, if you look at countries like canada in the last heat wave, you could see that there was a lot of communications coming in from the local authorities,
12:07 am
providing information on where people could go, such as cooling senses if they were feeling too hot. and if there was they, they couldn't survive in their own homes or couldn't reduce the heat in their own homes. i think in the u. k. r building design is, is not up to scratch when it comes to, to heat waves. not like a counterpart since in southern europe, and so really indoor temperatures for many people will become unbearable. and really we should have those kind of cooling centers to support april. we can't just rely on the n h s. when people are already struggling. we mention the situation elsewhere in europe and we are saying wild fires that are unprecedented, that have never quite happened in this way before. why are we seeing this sort of dangerous, critical, extreme heat and fire that just ravages vast tracts of land that we didn't say in the past? yes, so i think we've seen some really shocking images from murder from spain, portugal,
12:08 am
or perhaps they're not shocking for us anymore. we've seen them in australia in 2020, in north america, in 2021. when we get these very dry conditions, we're a number of months when we get those higher temperatures than, than fi 0 must inevitable. unless that's exactly what we're seeing now. how much of a threat could these heatley heat waves, beef or global food crops? i think that's something this the certainly a worry especially of, with the food security situation at the moment in terms of ukraine and elsewhere and heat waves that we've seen in india that have affected wheat prices and weights exports as well. but that is something that people will be looking at and turning to and seeing whether that is going to have an effect. we know of our extreme heat toting important crops, like may's wheat soybeans. you mentioned warn ukraine and that is also affecting exports too much. well, particularly developing wild when we see wild fires affecting it in
12:09 am
a vast parts of the land. how does that affect? how does that change the environment, the soil? how will it affect agriculture? sure, so we, we know with fires that actually they change the properties of the soil and they make them hydrophobic, which means that they repel water. so actually in the long run, even though the fi as a resulting from dry conditions. now, we've seen in many parts of the world like australia that when there's heavy rainfall a tour on top of those fire reflected soils that you can end up with with quite severe flooding as well. so that is certainly something to look out for in these fire affected areas. all right, well thank you very much, liz stevens. her journey is that from reading. thank you. because you've been speaking about the situation in europe part. so china are also struggling with extreme temperatures. authorities are working to secure power grids,
12:10 am
which are threatening to buckle under the relentless heat demand for air conditioning. so china's maximum power load reach at an all time i this week, 68 cities including shanghai of now it should read alerts, meaning temperatures exceeding 40 degrees celsius are forecasts for the next 24 hours. but while a heat wave in gov's, one part of the country flash floods of hit the south from the north west killing at least 12 people, more than 4000 people have been evacuated from swan and guns who provinces, experts, extreme weather is becoming more likely because of climate change you at the news ally from london much wants to lead for you on the program courts. in the crossfire, almost a 100 people are killed in one haitian neighborhood as rival gangs battle for control of the capitol. demonstrators returned to the streets of saddam to demand an end to military rule in the country and a record breaking efforts in

12:13 am
seeing 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. what's important to remember is that it's now been 20 weeks and since the war began, and in that time people continue to be killed. in alan development, she kind of president her sacked as prosecutor general and the head of the country security service. after kissing more than 60 other employees are collaborating with russia on an as the landscape as a 1st is as open, more than 650 criminal proceedings against workers in russian occupy territories who are allegedly working against your crime. oscar general arena redneck tova has been leading efforts to prosecute russian war crimes security chief event. banner

in southern france for the evacuation of 14000 people and other 3000 have been forced to flee in spain. roches minutes re says it destroyed a number of rocket launch is given to you. crane by nato. is it rom top it's offensive. multiple ukrainian towns are coming on. the rushing fire. shelling is taking place along the entire front line. and for politicians have been named as contended to become shoreline, because new presidents make crisis that drove the instability is continuum is millions of people struggle to buy food or fuel. now an investigation and he vol day school shooting which left 21 people. dad has found almost $400.00 police officers rushed to the school, then waited more than an hour to confront a gunman. report by texas legislators found systemic failures created
12:32 am
a chaotic scene before the shoot. it was finally confronted. it blamed a lack of leadership and, and insufficient urgency video from the shooting. rob elementary school in may found police waited in the hallway for 77 minutes before taking action. mike can joins us live now from washington. what has been the reaction that to this report? well, marian families and friends of those killed still continue to call for accountability. they welcome the fact that the report has cost more light on terms of the timeline of events. and in particular, that blame should not just be shared by the police chief, the school police chief who was in charge on the ground, but also by other federal and state officials, both on the ground and at a national or federal level. there were some $317.00 offices on the ground. by the
12:33 am
time the gunman was stormed and shot dead. and that action was taken. the report says by a group of a border guard officers who actually disobeyed the orders that had been given to them on the ground. the report also found that they were very bad security measures at the school. large numbers of doors were left unlocked against protocol which allowed the gunman to gain easy access into the school. the report also found that he was not sufficient attention played to the record of the 18 year old gunman. the report found that he had made several threats online for a long period of time that he had gone and bought a 15 style assault weapons. just a matter of weeks off is 18th birthday, which is when it is illegal to get legal to get such weapons in terms of texas state law. however, no red flags were flourished despite the boy background. this was another failure
12:34 am
that the report finds in terms of dealing with the situation. so all in all you've got a report that found a systematic degree of failures in terms of the police action or non action in terms of coping with this event. as a report was released to friends and family an hour before it was made public, but it also raises many more questions for them. are they likely to be any change? is it as a result of this report will cause grow loud and now for police accountability. well, definitely he, particularly as the report finds that it's not just the school police chief on the ground. peter dondo, who was responsible for the lack of action that the all layers among him, both of the officers who arrived at the school and the command superior is who should have taken over control of the situation. this was one of the major problems
12:35 am
of what happened there. so they will be further questions and perhaps further investigation in terms of what went wrong with the chain of command and why somebody on the ground. seeing that the command chief was incapable of taking action did not take over command from him. so those questions remain. but the committee, the legislature, legislators who drew up the report make very clear that one of the reasons for providing such detail is to avoid any such incidents happening again to go through exactly what happened, see what went wrong and fix it. so it is not possible for this type of incident happen in the state of texas, or indeed any other state. that's the professor intention off the legislators in terms of drawing up the report, not just assigning a greater degree of accountability. all right, thank you. why cannot washington mine clarence teams have been

12:40 am
a system that suspended the investigation into one of the biggest blasts in history caused by a stockpile of ammonium nitrate at a root support. 2 years on political interference has ensured no officials have been convicted for the more than 200 lives. lost justice has yet to be served. among them. 3 year old alexandra, we will not get justice lebanon. it's impossible. giving the history of everything that has happened to register. there was a time when tracy nature had hope, but she says the re election of 2 m. p.

a threat of violence and taliban checkpoints made it dangerous for people to travel around afghan stone. now 11 months after western powers of drew the taliban as promising safety on the roads and some afghans getting a chance to explore the explore that country. one region, seeing an influx of tourists is bomb yawn. as latifah reports, for 20 years avalon officials talked about making balmy on a tourism hop. but the roads leading to the province were too dangerous. now the taller bon is back in power and thousands of people are getting into their cars to see the countryside. for me and was once famous for 2 ancient statues of buddha, which the tall over the city until 2001 when the total bond destroyed them, the house of it. he is an artist from cobble who has come with her family to see what is left with the boot. it shouted. you get home, surely with us. it makes me very sad. why did this happen? this was a part of our country's historic scenery. others have travelled even further. roger

pull money, a media worker from cannot province. and 10 of his friends drove 11 hours. then there's them with a buy me. i'm when i saw the people that buy me and clothes, i saw how hospitable they were. they were very friendly from the 100, but the main attraction of the band. i mean national park. one of my friend was living again the son, and he told me that once i how to see that, i mean abundant, proven provincial authorities. us to meet more than 50000 people have visited by me on the week since the holiday. him all home to look was you couldn't the last was we want to improve amenities for our visitors, for instance, the road, the hotels and shops in the area, availability of transportation and 1st aid services. but not everyone is benefiting the head has been driving from balmy on to cobble for 4 years. he's happy about the piece insecurity, but fears that has cost him his job as more people are able to travel in their own cars. so let me line call to make him in the past. we used to take around $1500.00
12:44 am
to 2000 f gains a day for about $17.00. now we really make about how many people are hoping the total bon will capitalize on the new found interest and balmy on and turn it into a tourist destination. now that the group that made it nearly impossible to travel to places like this for 20 years. finally, in power, this is what some of the peace and security looks like and on, on thousands of families coming from all over the country to enjoy the wonders of the national part. but the big question now is, how will all of this impact the economy of balmy on a province that was ignored for more than 20 years by the former government? i left the al jazeera, balmy on india's government says it's now administered more than 2000000000 doses. a corona virus vaccine, although new infections have hit a 4 month high. now india started vaccination last year. and what's been called the world's largest inoculation campaign. government is now rolling
12:45 am
a booster doses to more adults as infections rise in several states. indian officials of recorded more than 500000 destro call that the experts say the actual toll might be around 4700000, which would be the walls highest. now the caucus of a rat out bye. no whale has been found on the shores of eastern australia, b feel washed out onto a beach near the town of goods on friday when the tide was higher than usual. local media have identified the well as a sub adult female officials of asked people who might have dogs to stay away from the remains. and they say that any that staff are going to access it in the coming days. so had for you on the program. we're from the gulf or is just one is 1st major championship with andy who have that story and everything else in sport

and passion. we tell your stories. we are your voice. your news, your net. al jazeera lou ah jolaine scientists said they discovered a contender for the oldest living creature on us, a tree and not to go near the site. pris, nick named great grandfather is estimated to be more than 5000 years old. our latin america editor, lucy human reports now from the last like aust region. hi, it's winter in southern chile, home to the a legacy or patagonia in cyprus,
12:48 am
one of the world's 2 oldest proven tree species. that's where we meet up with environmental scientists, jonathan buddy chie beach from the university of paris in the, unless in national park, a unique, temperate rain forest. he actually grew up here. when his grandfather was a par granger, he was the one who discovered a new challenger. to the world's oldest recorded non colonial tree of 4853 year old bristle comb pine in california. but each of each is taking us to meet great grandfather. the nickname of the letter, say he estimates is almost 5500 years old that but 1st he demonstrates the traditional method for determining the age of trees. by using a special drill or increment core to remove a 5 millimeter sample. the length of the trees radius here is you got a cor, well, you can see it rings as like a barcode days, then you're drawing for me to, to,
12:49 am
to numbers. then with these numbers, we build models of how the tree growth. i'm like satellite data that goes back no more than 40 years. trees reveal earth's environment as far back as pre historic times. but each of each argues that the past can be used to predict future climate change more accurately. the core of a tree is something like a book, it tells the story, not just of the tree, but of the whole area and the last decades, hundreds of years or thousands of years to read it. you can look at the rings. these, for example, show that it was a plentiful year, they're very separated. so it means there was a lot of rain. the ones that are much closer indicates that those ears were of drought. and over here, you see the scar of the tree. this means that there was a fire, but dental chronologist antonio ladder, who recorded a 3620 year old alleged sick 30 years ago,
12:50 am
says indiscriminate tourism is endangering the survival of these trees. whose roots are already dangerously exposed from erosion. this is a younger alyssa tree and it was some one there. we don't know who a couple of weeks ago came. and you can see here like within my share to your somebody they took out they bark. we don't know why, because this is pure vandalism. as a result of the park, as now temporarily close to the public mud forestry service, made an exception to allow us to see great grandfather for ourselves. perched deep in an isolated ravine, it's an imposing majestic sight to behold, from its 4 meter wide trunk to its enormous exposed roots. the longest instrument available isn't long enough to reach the trees center to determine it's age with the traditional method. so, but each of each has devised a mathematical model to fill in the gaps. but some dental chronologist aren't yet
12:51 am
convinced. i think that it's a bit higher without having actual drink counts of the tree is that we cannot really say that it's definitely the older stage. we can, of course, said that it is amongst the oldest she is in the world. but each of each will be publishing a paper later this year, defending his theory. the great grandfather is indeed 5484 years old. but i'm not worried because this is science for the planet. is science that make us to act on time to protect what is left of a planet that was once completely while ignoring you. you insist a challenge is to use ancient trees to improve climate models to determine how forests might adapt to our changing conditions. the same forests on which the future of humanity also depends. do see in human al jazeera,
