ah, we begin in europe where thousands of 5 vices are up against strong winds, a parched land and an extreme summer heat wave narrows to contain devastating wildfires, fires raging and france, greece, portugal and spain, with thousands of hectares of land are destroyed. thousands of desperate residents are escaping the flames with whatever they can manage to take with them. in spain, temperatures pushing well in to the forty's, the nearly week long heat wave has caused hundreds of deaths. thousands of people have been forced from their homes and to seek refuge in makeshift shelters. i see her, the fire and the air wash her white and dead. worse. she was like i said, and that more the 1st time a thing. it's not okay,

was very fast, we had to get me. i didn't think i didn't take it too seriously. i thought they had it under control and i was quite surprised. we never started seemed to be moving our direction and then we were told to go show, no, we've left a lot of behind in france firefighters in the southwest, and jerome region are struggling to control 2 places that have destroyed, you know, the 11000 hectares of forest since tuesday, more than 14000 people have been forced to evacuate in greece firefighters have arrived to provide support for those fighting wildfires. there an e u lead project brings and hundreds of firemen from 6 near by nations. during grace's peak fire season, much of the warm air affecting europe has moved up from north africa where there have also been wildfires. in morocco fires had been ravaging remote woodland areas in the north killing. at least one person on look is in the town of the rash,

watched in shock as this fire ripped through a nearby forest. more than a 1000 families have been forced to escape from it. and the heat wave is spreading to northern europe 2 and the u. k health authorities are urging people to take precautions is forecast to say the weather could hit record temperatures on monday and tuesday and dean barber reports. for britain, it's a step into the unknown whether experts are putting the chance of temperatures reaching 40 celsius at 50 percent. it's never happens 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 there is a public guidance, it's out there. i mean, the comments and stuff, rachel, us on cream. make sure you close the re hydrating stair out of solid peak times. got temperature sitting 40 degrees. i think that was the out. the saw that me day when, when, when, when that's happening,

despite seems like vis experts say the extreme heat over the coming days could be deadly even for healthy people. this isn't like a lovely hot day where we can put a bit of sunscreen on and go out and enjoy a swim in a meal outside. this is seriously that could actually ultimately end in people's death because it is so ferocious and we're just not set up for that. so page in this country, climate change has 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 deaths 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 case meets your logical office, says climate change is greatly increased. the chance of such heat weighs here, and scientists say

a continued use of fossil fuels means we're already seeing what was previously projected for 2050. we are still increasing greenhouse gas from the atmosphere, which means global temperatures are increasing. and this means that this is probably something that will be cool life in the 3 decades to come. the one thing might also be to change that conversation, but actually it's not that it's the question about life of 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 there urging people only to make essential journeys with no legal, maximum temperature for working. the government saying it 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 future. nadine bob, al jazeera london. oh, going to bring you for breaking news now to show lanka where the interim president has imposed a state of emergency effective immediately. you can speak to michelle fernandez to

join us on the phone from the capital colombo femina. why has this state of emergency been announced now, and what will it mean? well, basically the actual document to which i was sent by the prime minister's office, acting, president's office from the victim of thing. says that because the thing is of the opinion that for public security, for public order and to maintain supplies, that the state of emergency is necessary. so that keeps it. now bear in mind that we are in some very political, turbulent times. we have the resignation of the president, we have an acting credit in school and in and we have that crucial election which will choose the successor to go to the router box in the next 2 days. so tomorrow that's tuesday. parliament is due to meet to here nami nations who is going to be in the running for the presidency and then on wednesday, no longer than 7 days,

form that resignation as required constitutionally we will have the election for the post of president, and that individual was the remainder of the term so that have been huge protest obviously we've seen it over the last 3 months, demanding the resignation, the president of roger fox. and there's also been a pushback against the appointment of ron, is become a thing of 1st as prime minister, replacing by him the raj talk. so who stepped down? and now the fact that he's acting president with an election for coming there is concern, obviously that the protest will self. again, those protests that we saw over running the presidential palace, the prime minister residence and all of that. so this is basically giving the military, i'm the police more to, to deal with protest with public descent. as you say, a very precarious time with the pocket of picking a new president underway. so will this state of the virgin see impacts those

proceedings at all? the procedure and essentially the system will continue as we saw parliament being convened on saturday. 5 we did have that it is a very short session when the legislature was formerly told that the resignation had taken effect and that he's a victim of the post the president. obviously they have to go through the motions in terms of picking that success, to go to the router box. and that will happen. but the problem or the concern, obviously for authorities, for me to become a thing, is going to be the face of public protests. how much of pushback there's going to be already we have seen a huge military presence, police presence all being buffered across colombo, the expectation is obviously, we're not just with the emergency, but even prior to the declaration of emergency, we have seen a lot of military deployed on the streets of colombo, in

a sort of mean thought of as at junctions and things like that, this is likely to be intensified even more in the next couple of days. and obviously the declaration of the state of emergency, as i said, gives the authority more authority more paula and more tools to deal with those protests to a public order and control of crowds and things like that. speaking of crowds, i mean the pictures we're looking at now in the, in the pictures we've seen, you know, the storming of the, of the presidential residences which led to the, to the resignation of got to buy it out of pocket. but as, as with, as you've been saying, the protest is want more than that, they want a complete overhaul and have been asking for the kind of thing, the acting president, former prime, the former prime minister to, to go as well. so how do you think this state of emergency is going to be received then by the protest movement not very well in terms

of even when the curfew was declared. in the face of all those political developments in president rodge park resigned when people were waiting for his resignation letter. and there was a state of uncertainty as to what was going on, run it become a thing that was appointed acting president, but he still prime minister, obviously in that capacity as well. there was a lot of uncertainty and people were not going to be limited by a few or intimidation that they're going to get the rest of the public seems to have moved beyond that stage where people think, you know, the reason they started this entire campaign was to push for a clean sweep. obviously there are certain organized elements that we've seen coming up during the recent months, but very much a growing of, of public anger against the authorities,

against the leadership and back anger does not really sort of back down in the face of authorities. now obviously, the military will have bulletin ammunition and we have seen some of the damage it can do just even if you take the sheer intensity of the gas that's being used in recent weeks. more to cannons. i mean, there's a, there's a massive pushback by the authorities, but the protest themselves also having reached a certain point of absolute restoration, are not going to be sort of intimidated or scared by the sort of typical tactics to keep them back. all right, thank you for that myself and, and is there on the line from the capital, colombo, the and ukraine's president blood ma zalinski has sacks 2 of his most senior law enforcement figures

in the most significant shakeup yet since the war began. one of those to go is the prosecutor general. i rena, than addict over use lead ukraine's efforts to prosecute russia for war crimes. the other ivan buck a north, was the head of ukraine's powerful intelligence agency. the s b u. a childhood friend of the landscape has been under scrutiny for security breaches. the president says, 60 officials from their agencies are working against ukraine in russian occupied areas. and at 651 treason and collaboration cases has been opened. the plane is the assistant director at the atlantic councils eurasia center. he says, present, lansky must act quickly to find long term replacements for the 2 sect officials. so i do think that these are significant, and the big thing that observers and experts are going to be watching for is who comes next. zelinski has appointed an acting prosecutor general to replace an addict of a is not yet appointed somebody to replace ukraine's top intelligence and security

chief during war time. that is an essential role. so, so that, that's the big thing that experts are going to be watching for who comes next. the other thing here is that while a reason wasn't given by president zalinski for why he fired prosecutor general, he said that the security breaches with a big reason why he lost confidence in his security chief, just today. ukraine's s p u head for crimea was arrested on charges high treason and passing intelligence to russians. he is one of many high officials in the intelligence services who have been charged with these charges of collaborating with the invaders. one of the big things that, you know, prosecutor general vanity tova was mired in for much of her term, was failing to properly reform her office and allowing and sabotaging investigations into bribery cases and failing to properly

do her executor duties. so for the prosecution of war crimes, that is one of the top priorities for ukrainians, and it's something that the international community has taken very serious interest in eating them with. so whoever comes next, the international community is going to be trying to work with them very closely to make sure that there's no hiccup in making sure that these crimes are prosecuted. on the front line, rush is military says it's destroyed. one of the advanced rocket launch is given to ukraine by the u. s. military chiefs claim this video shows the russian strike on a ukrainian storage facility. and the donnette screeching austin forces of also bombed a number of ukrainian towns as moscow warns at stepping up its military operations . ukrainian official say 40 people have been killed since thursday that the entire front line is being shelled. still to come on al jazeera road, tripping through honest on the tours. tom, that's booming, as travel becomes easier.

while funds have been bridging across south western europe, burning of thousands of hectic forest and forcing people from their homes. a scorching heat wave, its fueling, the places and farms and spain temperatures are expected to hit record highs and percent this week. an investigation into the response to the you've all day school shooting has accused police of grievously poor decision making. only $400.00 officers were at the scene of the attack, but failed to take action for more than an hour. the shoot a killed 19 elementary school students and 2 teachers before he was confronted and killed by police. mike had a reports. if there's only one thing that i can tell you is there were multiple systemic failures. the 3 members of the bipartisan texas house committee held a news conference to discuss the report. it comes just a few days after this new security camera footage was released. the sound to the

children, screaming on editor doubt, but it shows local police arriving 2 minutes after the shooting started. as you approached the classroom door, but then retreat back down the corridor. all of the shots fired. the report is adamant that during this time offices that the federal or state level should have taken over control from the school police chief and beat aradonda, who was supposedly in charge at the school. once we do get some information that we can today to redondo has taken much of the blame, but sundays reports this responsibility for the lack of action should be shared by some of the 376 law enforcement officers who had arrived, as well as their superiors at the command level, at a minimum there was multiple opportunities depending on the relative training and experience of law enforcement officers to at least ask more questions or offer their guidance to try to remedy the chaotic situation and make sure there was

effective overall command there was a lack of effective overall command the report also found the school safety protocols fil fall. short. numerous doors were left unlocked, which allowed the gunman easy access to the classrooms in a wider context. the legislators also found that these issues were not unique to the rough elementary school where the shooting happened. that protocols not observed, created a dangerous sense, awful, security. let me tell you the people of the valley before this. they felt it couldn't happen here. they felt that that's the fault sense of security. i worry about. i think some of the same systems that we found here that failed that day or across the entire state and country. the report is dedicated to the $21.00 victims of the shooting and was given to family and friends at a meeting an hour before its public release. the report that drove home the country,

the fact that the law enforcement officials waited with some 75 minutes. while gunfire continued before a group of border patrol gods defied orders on the scene and rushed in to kill the gunman. my kind of audience era washington. christina delgado is a gun reform advocate and she joins to sell live from santa fe in texas. thank you for your time. you are leasing an advocate of strict gunbar. you've been outspoken about that and that was long before the holiday school shooting what pushed you into action? well, thank you for having on this evening. and so back in 2018, my community, my daughter and my family had to endure the scene of a high school shooting. my daughter was a 7th grader at that time and my best friends, kids alongside some my other friends, children were there in the high school and my friend had her 2 children who made it

out. but i have numerous friends who lost their children that day. and that was a day where my daughter asked me a very, very valid question, which was how you going to keep me safe in schools. and so i decided to start speaking up as a native texan and coming from a governing family. there are things that we can be doing to make sure and ensure that these things do not happen again. i want to get your response to this latest report into what happened if you've all day because you know, obviously there are so many shootings in the us. and there it is. is, this is something that doesn't happen to this degree and all the countries. so from this report, what does it say to you about what could of should be done to make sure that this doesn't happen again? well, i can definitely tell you that none of this should have happened after what happened in santa fe. we should have been able to make these assessments directly

following the shooting at the high school here in santa fe, texas. and this should have been completely prevent it. you know, it is an action on our texas legislature and our text is leaders for not stepping up and doing something. you know, we have another you know, community that was affected by a school shooting that, you know, within 23 days had changes and measures put in place within their state. all the way across. and texas has dropped the ball dramatically and really needs to step it out. we definitely myself as well as people in my community feel that leadership in our texas legislature is very, very fundamentally to blame for the, for this occurring. and you have all the there are some realities in the u. s which is so foreign for, for parents around the world, the idea of your child needing

a backpack that is bullet proof or having active shooter drills, which is obviously a daily reality for, for many in the us. this report found systemic police. fabian is i'm wondering if that is is enough though what, what, what specific things do you think need to be done? well i most definitely feel that an 18 year old does not need to have a, a high capacity, high magnitude firearm that would be used in war. first of all, i think that that needs to be changed or, you know, secondly, yes, we do have a mental health issue here. we have a school security issue here, but we need to be able to put things in place and be able to fund you know, these changes that are needing to be made. and our texas legislature has not done. not. they have refused to do that. they have put in place very lacks

incentives this, if you will, for, for some of our texas schools, but nothing that actually has any kind of teeth, you know, and i come from a gun owning family. my spouse is a gun enthusiast. my bonus son is now in the air force. we're not here to try and take away anyone's guns, but there is a major issue that we have and not everyone needs to be carrying a assault rifle and you know, much less anything else. all right, hey, thank you very much for your time, christina delgado, there a gum reform advocate in central texas. yes, thank you. have a good evening. the policy of pakistan's, former prime minister in mon. com, has dominated regional by elections in the countries most populous province. his supporters have been celebrating off the preliminary results,

showed collins pity on my party. when in most of the 20 seats up the grabs and punjab province, the wind could have national implications. feminist a shout sharif muslim league, hold to narrow majority in the provincial assembly. come on, hot reports from the whole. the result of a hardly contested bi election is now out m. ron cons party has swept the ball. it made a huge political come back. this is indeed a province of the country which had the most wards and the national assembly. it is also the economic power and render people of the fund job be made that they did the wife of the people of august on important also to note there just 3 months ago, a correlation of over the 11 bar days on a single agenda to get rid of him, ron collins, government brought the country of financial lab, the political uncertainty of god, riding. according to iran con, because you're very rigid,

go moscow. but the winds of change are being fed head and buckets on after to get crew share to meeting of the us president, read the out of this particular region, get an order for the conflict. and iran, con, of course, had been saying that he will buy oil from russia because right joe was selling a boy that no other country had the right to dictate the people of august on. so indeed, a huge nationalist moment for buckets on the country had difficult days ahead because of a looming economic crisis. aged and crucial talk through a d i a met. and it will be important to see what comes out of the bi election way that if a really big fan and ready to send for the government will now be thinking of dissolving parliament and calling for early election, which was one of the key demands of prime minister, former enron con, for decades the threat of violence and taliban checkpoints made it dangerous for

people to travel around the cornerstone. now, 11 months off the western house withdrew, fell upon his promising safety on the roads. and his alley chief reports from balmy on africa, taking advantage of the change to expose the region 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. bomb ya 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 the thing is an artist from cobble who has come with her family to see what is left of the buddha. did you get home? surely, it makes me very sad. why did this happen? this was a part of our country's historic scenery. others have travelled even further up the rosset pull money, immediate worker from cannot province. and 10 of his friends drove 11 hours. and

then with the bye, ma'am, when i saw the people of dameion up close, i saw how hospitable they were. they were very friendly from the work, but the main attraction of the band, me national park. one of my friend was living again, the son, and he told me that once i have to see the van that i'm involved in proven provincial authorities, us to meet more than 50000 people have visited by me on in the week since the holiday. him all him 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 to 2000 and afghans a day for about $17.00.
