and an extreme summer heat wave. in their race to contain devastating wildfires, pfizer aging in france, greece, portugal in spain, where thousands of hector as have been destroyed, and thousands of desperate residents are escaping the flames with whatever little they can manage to take with them. well, in spain, temperatures are pushing well into the fort, is the nearly week long heat wave, of course, hundreds of deaths. thousands of people have been forced from their homes and are seeking refuge and makeshift shelters. i see. yeah, the fire and the air force or white. and then what was this is this is like a said and did march the 1st time. i think it smelt okay. it was very fast. we had to get, i mean, i didn't think i didn't take it too seriously. i thought they had a younger control and i was quite surprised whenever i started seemed to be moving our direction and, and we were told to go show no with left to last off behind. well, in france,

firefighters in the south western g wrong region are struggling to control 2 places that have destroyed nearly 11000 vectors of forest since tuesday. more than 14000 people have been forced to evacuate and in greece firefighters of arrived to provide support for those fighting while fi is there. an e lead project brings in hundreds of firemen from 6 made by nations. during greece as peak fantasies now, much of the warm air affecting europe has moved up from north africa where they have also been wildfires. in morocco fires have been raging, reaching across remote woodland areas in the north killing. at least one person onlookers and a ton of la rush, watched in shock as this fire ripped through and thereby forest. more than a 1000 families had been forced to escape. while the heat wave is spreading to northern europe too, in the u. k. health authorities are urging people to take precautions as forecast to say the weather could hit record temperatures on monday and tuesday. and in barbara reports for britain, it's

a sound ferocious which is not set up for that so age 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, but 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 waves here. and scientists say our 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 the 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 want

a global south puddle so far. citizens in you can train operators a warning of delays and cancellations because of the heat. they're urging people only to make essential journeys with mo, 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 to future. nadine barbara al jazeera london the current president vladimir zalinski a sack, 2 of his most senior law enforcement figures in the most significant shake up yet since the war began. one of those to go as the prosecutor general arena manitoba, whose lead ukraine's efforts to prosecute russia for war crimes. the other event backing up was head of ukraine's powerful intelligence agency. the s b u. a childhood friend of zalinski has been under scrutiny for security breaches. the president says, 60 officials from the agencies are working against ukraine and russian occupied

areas and that 651 treason and collaboration cases have been opened. he must see largely such an array of crimes against the foundations of the states national security and a length recorded between ukrainian security force officials and russians. special services braces, very serious questions about their respective leader. each of these questions receive a proper response. today i've taken the decision to dismiss the general prosecutor and the head of ukrainian security, shirley or doug plane, as assistant director of the atlantic councils eurasia center. he says, presidents the landscape must act quickly to find long term replacements for the 2 sat officials. so i do think that these are significant, and the big thing that observers in experts are going to be watching for is who comes next. zalinski has appointed an acting prosecutor general to replace benedict 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 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 the 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 of high treason and passing intelligence to russians. he is one of many high officials in the intelligence services who have been charged with these are charges of collaborating with the invaders. one of the big things that 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 aiding 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, as military says, is destroyed. one of the advance rocket launcher is given to ukraine by the us moscow claims this video shows the strike on a ukrainian storage facility. in the done the region. russian forces also bomb the number of ukrainian towns as they step up their military operations. ukraine officials say 40 people have been killed since thursday and the entire front line being shelled. now an investigation and the response to the vow, the school shooting as acute police. a poor decision making many $400.00 officers were at the scene of the attack, but failed to take action for more than an hour. the shooter killed 19 school

some of the 376 law enforcement officers who had arrived, as well as their superiors at a command level. at a minimum there is 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 fell far 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 facts that law enforcement officials waited with some 75 minutes. while gunfire continued before, a group of border patrol gods supplied orders on the scene and rushed in to kill the gunman. mike hannah al jazeera washington. not more so to come here now does air including pakistan's, aston, prime minister in one car makes a stunning in it to come back and road tripping through afghanistan. the tourist cabinets booming as travel becomes easier morning. ah,

of raise some speculation where it was actually just in part now bangladesh, traditionally patches as arms from former soviet bloc countries, particularly of course, russia, bell or russia, than, than also, serbia does a lot of these are used in bangladesh are so the standard, even the majority of the weapons are patches from china, but they're usually russian great weapon. so it's not so unusual for bunger those to get rep from pharma jack or bob leg, or as well as our b, r and other eastern bloc countries. it's part of what bunger, that you, as, as it is also using the peacekeeping operation garner. that's one of the largest trips contingent in the world. so these weapons also used all across in different mission by the banner. that's un forces. not for decades. the threat of violence and taliban checkpoints made it dangerous of people to travel around afghan. it's done. now. 11 months after western pounds withdrew the taliban is promising safety
