a male 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 hits 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 office says climate change has greatly increase the chance of such heat waves here. and scientists say a continued use of fossil fuels means we're already seeing what was previously 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, be cool. he plays in a 3 decades to come. the 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 small global south, but also for citizens in the you can train operators a warning of delays and cancellations because of a heat there urging people only to make essential 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. so earlier we spoke to les stevens and associate professor specializing and climate rest at the university of writing. she says the next problem for european nations could be flooding. 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 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. ah, rushes military says it's destroyed, multiple rocket launch is given to ukraine by nato military chief, say the video shows a russian strike on a ukrainian storage facility in the dani ask region. but the kinds can't be independently verified. russian forces of also bombed a number of ukrainian towns, as moscow warns at stepping up its military operations. equating official say 40 people have been killed since thursday, and at the entire front line is being shelled. alan fish has moved from the capitol . keith well, it appears that there is

ah, welcome back. the main stories this now and now europe is sweltering under a devastating summer heat wave which has sparked multiple wildfire and caused hundreds of heat related deaths to fires in southern fronds of force. the evacuation of 14000 people and other 3000 have been forced to flee in spain. brushes military, says, is destroyed. a number of rocket launch is given to you, crime by nato. as it ramps off it's offensive. multiple ukrainian towns are coming on to russian fire and shelling is taking place along the entire front line and

inter lanka, for politicians of a named is contend is to become the new presidents. but the economic crisis that drove the political instability is continuing. millions of people are still struggling to buy food or fuel. now an investigation into the vall day school shooting, which left $21.00 people dead as found almost $400.00 police offices rushed to the school. but then wasted more than an hour to confront a gunman or a port by texas legislatures found systemic failures created a chaotic speech for the shootout was finally confronted. it blamed a lack of leadership and insufficient urgency video from the shooting a 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. i suppose. much of the information contained with within this report was already known particularly to the families of those who lost their lives inside the school. mike, but nonetheless, how of these,

how is this report been received that what was the certainly the most comprehensive timeline in terms of the events that happened throughout that period of time at the rock elementary school. it's also the 1st time that attention has been shifted to those in the line of command offices, federal and state who are on the scene, as well as the lack of any command control on the scene. and just outside the building. the report making very clear that this was a huge problem in terms of dealing with these events. now the police chief, the school police chief, peter r dondo, was held responsible for this lack of action. but this report spreads that far wider than that, than just the school police chief on the ground, pointing out that there are a number of federal and state officers who also have to accept accountability for the sequence of events. so that is one very important part of the report. as the

report also making very clear that the security at the school was very lax old. the doors were left unlocked against the school protocol. this enabled the gunman to enter the classroom and carry out the shootings. so they are a number of aspects to this report which costs more light on what happened. it also costs more light on the background of the shooter himself. an 18 year old. the committee who's grown up this report saying they're not even going to say his name because that is what he wanted. but the report finds that he had to threaten the number of people online. he had played violent games online, and in fact had been given the nickname, online school shooter. this was all months before this event actually took place. the report also outlines how he obtained assault weapons just a few weeks after his 18th birth day, which is the age at which you can legally by an assault rifle in texas. and there

were no red flags raised on him buying these weapons despite the fact that he had been marked in his back and in terms of his online behavior. and his general anti social behavior, as the committee puts it. so a lot of new information, but most importantly, that spread of responsibility that spread of accountability from the school police chief to others, higher up the chain, both in federal and state law enforcement. and how is it going to what now like if there's to be some sort of systemic reform. how, how is the issue of accountability, accountability complicated if there is this sort of void of leadership and on the part of numerous, lauren, for some an agency is not just one individual, one body. well the legislators make very clear that one of the reasons for this report is to ensure that it does not happen again, either in texas when any other state in, in the u. s. but saying that outlining exactly what happened,

you can see where the problems were. you can see where the bottlenecks of command occurred and you can learn from this to apply it to other situations. tragically, should they occur again to draw on the mistakes that were made here. the issue of accountability is going to get more complex. the school police chief was placed on leave weeks ago. he has resigned from the school council. so he is basically out the picture, but as you say, to move up the layers of accountability, whether or not the committee is going to continue its investigations at the stage. it's not recommending action against those higher up the level of command. but it did indicate that these investigations still need to continue. so this is not the end of it that will go on in terms of exploring exactly who does what or more appropriate, the who did not do what. and to once again, spread that accountability, that responsibility from what happened from one police chief,

a school police chief on the ground to high others higher up the chain of command. our thank you very much from washington. mike. hannah, thanks my mind. clearance teams have been deployed to northern greece after playing, carrying military equipment crashed on saturday, getting all the a crew members on board. it was a ukrainian operated cargo plane traveling from serbia to bangladesh via jordan. but nearly a 3rd of the way into the flight, the cross made a sharp you turn before then crashing near the greek city of karbala. witnesses say the aircraft came down and of all of flames before exploding on impact in a cornfield. residents been banned from moving around in the area and advised to keep their windows and doors shots. same basra, the asthma one. now. i witnesses describe a plane on fire lighting up the night sky. the crash of an ant enough cargo plane,
