6:02 pm
a special day for jamaica at the world athletics championships. shelly and fraser price. when is the $100.00 means the title for 5th time as a country pulls off a metal cleats. ah ah! europe is in the grip of a record breaking heat wave. its feeling. wildfires causing heat related death melting infrastructure and forcing countries to reckon with a hot or future weather. been while fires in france, morocco and portugal, and in spain at fire fighters, a tackling at more than 30 blazes across the country where the heat there has been blamed for hundreds of debts, should out a lot of whenever you don't feel it's clear that climate change kills it, kills people, kills our ecosystem, biodiversity. and it also destroys the most precious goods of our society,
6:03 pm
which is affected by these wildfires. homestory businesses, livestock to re effect up when an unprecedented drought has dried up agricultural impacted water spine, parts of europe, and the worst could be yet to come. research was that the european commission, one that nearly half of the east territory is currently at risk of drought. and the bill for extreme weather is starting to add up. a new study from the german government has found that heat, drought, and floods caused by climate change, or costing the country around 6600000000 euros in damages. every year since 2000 was zane it was ravi joins us live from cassis at the marietta in western strain. so we're is and it looks pretty parched where you are. what more can you tell us? that's exactly right. this is one of the driest periods in this part of europe, by some studies estimates in the last 1000 years. we're here just west of the capital, the spanish capital madrid, about 2 hours from madrid,
6:04 pm
about an hour's drive from the border with portugal. these 2 countries make up the iberian peninsula and a lack of precipitation, a lack of rain, as well as record temperatures record heat in this part of europe has made fighting fires. wildfires which are a natural occurrence in this part of the region. it's made fighting those fires much more difficult. i'm just going to step out a frame to show you the extent of the devastation that happens. what we're seeing here is a valley in the area of a village called a cost us dim mirror vet a and all we can see as far as to horizon valley after valley hill, after hill is just charge black earth. what's left is just some burned shrubs and very little vegetation, very little green remains. now this place has been under a wildfire warning for the last 2 or 3 days. and there have been fire rescue
6:05 pm
teams on the ground with water trucks, as well as water bombing airplanes, and water bombing helicopters in the air around the clock. a dip in the heat, a sort of lessening of the heat in the last day or so has allowed teams to put out many of the fires. but they are continued to douse these areas with water from the ground and from the air. in an effort to try to damp in the soil to make sure that wildfires don't restart, which is a real possibility. as record temperatures are expected to continue on wednesday, there is expected to be another spike in the heat in this region. and then with what is sonus, we understand that there been a number of heat related casualties. exactly. now this is a relatively rural area. it is relatively unpopulated. most of the fires that are happening in this country in this part of spain are happening in remote areas that
6:06 pm
aren't heavily populated. so we have seen some deaths, a woman in a village, an extra madura was killed as a result of wildfires. there was also a shepherd in some more as well as a firefighter that was overwhelmed by flames, as part of the rescue work that he was doing who was also killed in recent days. but that number pales in comparison to the number of deaths that have happened since the beginning of this month in relation to the record rise in heat. that has happened this summer by some estimates between 2 and 300 people have died in spain as a result directly of the record rise in heat this year. but some estimates say that across the iberian from and so portugal and spain, as many as a 1000 heap related deaths have already happened in recent weeks. ok zane was wrong for now in the men of at a in spain. thank you. well, as those fires burn, german foreign minister under the no better book describe the climate change as the
6:07 pm
world's biggest security problem. berlin is hosting representatives from some 40 countries for the petersburg climate dialogue which many hope will lead the way to a successful cop. 27 being held in egypt in november. german and egyptian leaders both urged rich countries not to let the worn ukraine do rail the fight against climate change. we are working hard to host at petersburg that put us on track for successful cop 27 global circumstances. i'm not making this an easy task. rush of war of aggression against ukraine is except for aging, a global energy and food crisis that is pushing millions into poverty, hunger, and starvation. and while we are still traveling with the fall out from the pandemic, the impacts of climate change shall be coming even more dangerous across the world
6:08 pm
bucket stones, federal minister for climate change. chevy. ramen is attending to talk somebody and we asked when will need it? would come up with a concrete plan to start living with this crisis. well, yes, exactly. what my question was to day. i appreciate that they're bringing loss and damage and climate finance and various things that have been on the agenda off the developing countries who are negotiating every year. the same issues again and again, we're talking about the problems we are identifying them. but when moving at a glacial face, our glaciers are melting and pakistan much faster than we are talking towards movement. and really there's very little time left. we have said to them that all actions, all ambitions have to be matched with actions. and those actions have to be operationalized by club $27.00. if everything is not on the table and on the agenda,
6:09 pm
then are we are going to assume that are humanities willing to stand by and watch the planet become livable and all the fires ridge further. the waters dry up, the wilson's acidify, the heat up and down countries like us with the largest. i mean, you know, the largest glaciers outside the polar region. we've had 17 gas should look lake outburst events which means instant flooding. right now we're in the middle of torrential floods. so we're at the ground 0. we lose 9 percent. 9 point one percent of our g d b to climate losses. and we're really, we are less than one percent of the global emissions recall for much less. so we're looking now not just to do an equal transition, but we're looking at bridging the fault lines between the global south and north. while. 2 reasons are found to continue with the missions here. ah,
6:10 pm
we are pressed to share the burden. we are happy to do so we're happy to of feature mitigation on our agenda, but it's 50 degrees at home. it is not 40, it became safety. it was the hardest place in the on the planet for 3 years. so yeah, my heart bleeds for everybody else for climate refugees, for every once suffering. but it is going to be a crisis of leadership. if action is not deacon and all the pledges the promises, the ambitions are not translated into mechanisms that are realizable. well, meanwhile, poland enhanced on monday, though it's looking into fresh subsidies for coal and working to boost inputs. it's europe's largest coal producer. and since the u. band, co imports from russia, holland has struggled to meet its own energy needs. the prime minister is ordered state companies to import $4500000.00 tons of coal, or the end of october. in paris,
6:11 pm
the french president has met the president of the united arab emirates to discuss oil gas and diesel supply. france is also looking for alternative energy sources. russia has cut off or reduced to natural gas to it doesn't european countries following the invasion of ukraine. and you commission president, nurse lavonne de lion has just signed a deal to double gas imports from us by john on a visit to bach, who she said as of 2023, the e with import 12000000000 cubic meters per year. from as much on to compensate for russian supply cuts. while in the u. k, authorities are warning that temperatures in parts of england could break records in the coming hours. people are being urged to take precautions as the mercury approaches 40 degrees celsius. the government's coordination minister says the country is about to find out how ready it really is to cope with extreme heat. we
6:12 pm
don't get months and months of warning that it's coming year. we get a few days possibly that this kind of heat wave is going to occur. now there is, people would say the husband a longer term, we're warning about climate change and you know, as a government, we've taken that very seriously. our energy mix, for example, has changed very significantly over the last few years. you saw cop 26 where we show leadership that we're fighting very hard as they say to keep 1.5 alive. so, you know, we will learn the next 48 hours about how the rail system coats with this kind of heat which it wasn't built to cope with. we will learn about how we deal, you know, as a community with heat. we'll learn about how things are, you know, go well and don't go well. the next 48 hours are staying with this. sir rory challenge is live for us in london. so very how is the u. k coping with all this was a sweltering it is definitely very, very hot. there, there updates every hour telling us that sir. and, you know,
6:13 pm
the temperature is creeping up and up that most recent one from an hour ago was 37.5 degrees centigrade. if it goes through $38.00, then that will be a new record for the u. k. and either today or monday or to morrow tuesday, it's predicted that we might well gets a 40 or 41 degrees. it's 4 o'clock in the afternoon now. so it's possible that the temperatures might start coming down. we might not get through that record today, but it's gonna be another very hot day or to morrow. or this is a country that is not used to this sort of thing. they, the government served, put out an extreme red or heat health warning essentially as b or something akin to a national emergency. there are various measures that are being put in place around the country to try to make sure that people don't get ill. don't get sick that the infrastructure copes as well as possible. so the town transport network that the trade network, there are go slow speed limitations on parts of it. and there is
6:14 pm
a section of the line between the london and the northern cities of leeds and york are which we shut completely to borrow because they're scared that the, that the, that the rails will buckle basically won't safely be able to carry trains who got are operating theatres scaling back on operations because they can't keep those operating theatres cool enough and schools are, are, some of them are either closing early today or, or not opening at all. so there are various measures put in place to try and get the country through this unprecedented e way. so from what you're saying and the government really is taking this very, very seriously. it is, but ah, there is more that needs to be done. certainly if the country is going to cope with a future in which this kind of thing is much more common, the advice that they're giving to people, they're around the country and they're, they're, they're particularly hot parts is not to do city things like i'm doing at the
6:15 pm
moment not stand out in the full blazing sun or in the middle of a park. don't where kind of trousers like i'm worried at the moment sir. x stay hydrated sco and sir parker and air conditioning unit if there is one close. but this is a country that is so used to this kind of thing that, you know, people don't have air conditioning units as a standard in their homes. they're on air conditioning units. the standard in small and medium businesses, sir small shops, et cetera, or the travel network, the systems, the infrastructure that there's countries or has in place has not been built to cope with extreme temperatures because they just didn't happen very often. now that they are happening much more frequently, and i think 10 of the, the hottest temperatures in the u. k of happened over the last 10 years or so. the countries gonna have to make changes expensive changes. it's gonna have to retrofit system so that they can cope and it's going to have a future proof ah, as it did new systems that are coming on line to make sure that as the world heats
6:16 pm
up, they can make sure that people can get about safely all right, rory, will that let you get back into the shade there. thanks for that. now that's the story in the u. k. and crossed the channel in paris, temperatures and out well into the 30s, attach a butler is there. while the run, surprisingly not many people are braving the heat at the foot of the eiffel tower record breaking temperatures expected in many paul, the france including in the north in brittany, an area that is no usually for very cool climate. now the french government have put several regions on red alert, so they have advised people to be extremely vigilant. they've rolled out the heat wave emergency plan advising people to stay at home, stay in the shade and keep very hydrated in the it's not that he'd weighed on coleman and from the usually they are several years hard climate change. experts say that because of the changing temperatures,
6:17 pm
what we are seeing is he wave for the more intense and more frequent this heat wave . in fact, is the 2nd one in just a few weeks. well, this is making the situation in the south west of france, particularly difficult thousands of fire fighters trying to tackle blazes that have destroyed a lot of forest. thousands of people have been evacuated from camp sites from holiday homes. it is mary very popular with for it, but some fruit fight is on the horizon. say, meteorologist because temperatures there are expected to drop in the next few days by more than 10 degrees celsius. wildfires in northern morocco spot my scorching temperatures. an intense drought have been contained, but at least one person has entailed more than 1000 families, were evacuated on the 5 route to the number of provinces, including the russ answers era's abdomen. him and him, ronnie's there with the latest. this forest here is called nazare and it is located
6:18 pm
in the province of flowers in the north west of morocco. it is part of a national form that stretches from the atlantic ocean, which is 5 kilometers away to the west, up to the reef. mountains located to that direction, about a 100, a 150 kilometers. as you can see, the fire fighters are still working in this forest in order to avoid that the, the fire that destroyed it be re ignited again because of the windy weather because of the hot weather. this part of morocco have really just stood. some hitch wave sin perches as high as 40 degrees in the last days, which is not normal in this region which has basically immediate uranian, whether the one like in southern france or southern spain or in portugal.
6:19 pm
but the spite of that, there is a heat wave that has destroyed up to now more than $6000.00 acres of forests and northwestern morocco fennimore heads on you. so including both os loaners you signing has big hopes for the season ahead on these. hey, with that story. ah, true anchors acting president has imposed a state of emergency as a country proposed to choose a successor to got a fire or to pack sir, but the country's bar association is off to the emergency order to be revoked, saying it suppresses freedom of expression and descent now fernandez reports from columbus. i 1st it was
6:20 pm
present, gotta be roger boxer. now protested, won't his replacement gone outside the country? central railway station they demonstrated calling for acting president, ronnie's vicar missing her to resign. why does he plan to call? nothing else? he was here, but the right button, he won't believe, got the right button. router history. he won't though, he won't. so you've got the larger boxes, a bribery, and also corruption. and that's why little you got want to come to the rather weaker missing have is voted out of parliament of the last gender elections. he returned as an m p with a single seat allocated to his party. on wednesday, parliament will choose the successor to go to obey roger boxer the roger pox, a party, the a c. p. p. has said to a back vicar missing her there. how hon. wrangler interfered very to try to bring home roger parker as our thought. roger bunker last will become a resident. that's why we are both lanelle dawn dawn. try to bring granny last of
6:21 pm
brussard. i'm. it will be a big, big, big demonstration in the country. after the 20th such warnings prompted vicar missing, had to declare a state of legend. see, on sunday it gives police and the military more power to detain and arrest protest is. but that is in deterring the demonstrators from rep bill my deal. now, nearly a deal full days instead of images has been declared and go views, as we declared. but people came to the struggle. people came to the road and they say slogans. and they are protesting their, their name instead of suffering. their dasia particular missing has largely ignored the criticism, appear kick, and not to route the rela, do we fight each other and destroy the country, or do our parties work together peacefully and rebuild this country? that is the most important political question we faced today. the asia barbara,
6:22 pm
as parliamentarians get ready to choose a successor to present got out by roger parser on wednesday. there are increasing cause like this for them to remember. they represent the people not themselves, minute fernandez, al jazeera colombo. let's take a closer look at the for presidential candidates so far. ran out wait room a single became the acting president on friday. a former prime minister is from the same party as former president got by roger passer and protest. leaders have said people will come out in force to demonstrate if he's elected. then as opposition leader such a premier gossip if elected, he's promising to fix the economy or reviving tourism, boosting exports and attracting more foreign investment to the us. allow her, her rumor is a former minister from the same party and got to buy much of packs, or he's relying on a coalition of votes from within the ruling esl, pete, the opposition parties for support. and finally, marxist party leader,
6:23 pm
a newer camera. this an icon, he's promising to fix the economic crisis within 6 months. if elected a cody is a political unless 10, a former editor of the daily use introlatta. he says, any people don't support the acting person, right? it just has to be a public backlash trivia, but strong public outcry against the appointment of the acting. but they're running it because the people of the country see you as part of the fear that the 3 ship which concentrate on time to bankruptcy earlier this year. although we still have a 2 months ago, people see as a product of that, our departure family, which is largely responsible for the current miss trailer guys facing in that context paper demand when it comes in to stepped out along with our departure and
6:24 pm
allow ottoman to elect a president who has the support of the public, if not to support at least a pretty, a person who amounts to pretty much the public. so now instead of dealing with this, a strong public outcry in a meaningful manner, we commit to impose a state of emergency of alarming the security forces to take action on protestant. you understand the situation and 3 not going to be, i mean on monday is be peaceful that are small protest across the country against the prime minister's appointment that the acting president. but aside from those peace with the incident a while, and however the prime minister has imposed a state of emergency which is a highly questionable and many bodies, including the freedom association, the hardest part, your body of lawyers. and so many people just have the organizations have criticize
6:25 pm
the move describing it as a highly unwarranted act. at this point in time, ukraine's president had suspended at 2 of his most senior law enforcement figures because of hundreds of cases of alleged treason and collaboration with russia. it comes as moscow has roundtop. it's offensive in the south and east with at least 6 people killed in tourette's and fishing reports from keith. yeah, yeah. it's the biggest shake up in president zalinski is leadership team since the start of the war. irene of indic tova was the prosecutor general. ivan balla cove headed the internal security agency. both have been suspended. president zalinski says $651.00 cases of treason. people walking with the russians are being investigated in their offices. and both could face being fired by parliament. he must see,
6:26 pm
lord cheney 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 raises very serious questions about their respective leader here. 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 servility. there's no suggestion that either figure was actively working against ukraine instead. this is more a question of accountability, a failure of leadership and their respective departments. backing of was a childhood friend of the president, he was involved in the entertainment industry and his appointment to run internal security was a surprise. when the russians moved into caisson, eli in the war that was seen as a huge intelligence failure by his department. over the weekend, dozens attended the funeral of a 4 year old killed in the fighting. these at the mid 3 died when rockets hit that last week, a body was found in the rubble. she is the latest child victim of a war,
6:27 pm
which according to new figures from the united nations, has claimed more than 5020 civilian lives. 300 of them children, and seen more than 6520 people winded this as towns and cities across the south and east woke up to the sound of war. moving into it's 21st week. allen fisher. i'll just leave the keys on doug mclean. is from the atlanta counsels arrange a center. he says that landscape must act quickly to find replacements for the to suspended 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. 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, so that, that's the big thing that experts are going to be watching for who comes next. the
6:28 pm
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 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, 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,
6:29 pm
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. so the head hair on alex's era investigation into school shooting in texas finds a systemic failures in the lease response. and in sports, could you open gulf chopping, become the latest plan to join a controversial you break away competition. ah, ah hello. we've got more right on the cards for the right been peninsula. we've got a massive cloud just around our mom pushing towards the space of moose showers. they're easing into southern parts of amman, eastern areas of amman as well,
6:30 pm
long the spells in fine, and always the possibility of some like less flooding. as a result of that, me so much whether to into yemen. but furthermore, it is generally try 50 death. baghdad, plenty of heat around a rather more countable 40 damascus. 3132, therefore beirut and for jerusalem in the similar picture as we go on 3, why does they so lot of hot and dry weather in that dry weather cool. stretching across northern parts of africa, heat there for cairo at $41.00 celsius 30. therefore, algiers really heavy rain into western parts of africa. can a fossil could see some rather lavish out possibility localized starting some wet weather to pushing out a sierra leone eating up towards cynical over the next day or so. again, a possibility of some flooding south of the equator. a lot of dry weather around. once again we have got some showers. welcome shows. i suspected eastern parts of kenya as widespread was heavy as we'd like to see one or 2 showers to just coming in to tan's and there for a time. more than possibly that big scene,
6:31 pm
some showers with showers to remember jessica ah frank assessments. it sounds like you don't expect anything changed. their problem in lebanon is actually structural lebanon needs and use of contract in order for it to solve this problem. informed opinions on the go, my security can use, the government has knowledge to me. in depth analysis of the data global headlines . this is going to be very hard to explain to the public that instead of pushing back, you know, it's actually got 2 members inside story on al jazeera setting, the discussions i'd love to see every time there was an attack on a mosque all the right wing organization, thank we don't approve of that. examining the headline. this court is a political court that is making political decisions, explorer, and abundance of world cloth programming,
6:32 pm
designed to inform. the biggest fear of i, laura cra, is crowd of people on the streets, motivate and inspire you. he's opening an area that a blind person never thought they could do on al jazeera. ah ah, ah. you without 0 reminder about top stories now ukraine's president for the may zalinski, i suspended his prosecutor general and the states intelligence chief, the president says, 60 officials from the agencies for working against ukraine, russian occupied areas, situation in sri lanka, capital columbus remains calm off the interim president imposed a nationwide stated emergency on sunday. parliament is expected to elect
6:33 pm
a new president on wednesday. france is facing what's being described as a heat apocalypse. i. fighters of battling places in the country south west europe . white heat wave is caused wildfires in spain, portugal and greece as well. so they help reports aah battling to control the inferno across spain. it's a race against time to contain wildfires that have been raging out of control from the south to the north where blazes have scorched 4600 hectares of land over the past few days in the west wildfires for a decade in a visit to one of the worst affected areas, spain's prime minister pedro sanchez, made clear what he thought was to blame, issued out a bit of loud. i want to say that evidently climate change kills it, kills people,
6:34 pm
kills the ecosystem, the biodiversity. and it also destroy the most precious goods of our society, which is affected by these wildfires, of homes, businesses and livestock. and southwest france. fire fighters were using every means at their disposal, including controlled burning, a tactic used to clear out the build up of flammable materials by igniting the surrounding vegetation. and it is a matter of urgency. since tuesday, the blazes have already consumed nearly 11000 hacked as a forest, and at least 16000 people, residents and tourists alike, i've been forced to move to emergency shelters. amid all this is the uncomfortable reality of the effect that these record breaking high temperatures. as delegates from 40 countries gathered at the petersburg climate dialogue and berlin, the message from the host's acts now before it's too late,
6:35 pm
we mustn't ones look in mind. we must intensify our mutual efforts. and that's why way in the german government moved climate foreign policy to the foreign ministry in order to contain the centuries. biggest security threat on an international level to far a threat that risk spilling out beyond countries directly affected sony diagonal al jazeera and the u. k. authorities are warning at temperatures and parts of england could break records in the coming out countries. infrastructure is struggling to cope and re. simmons reports from london going slow or getting cancelled. britain's rail services on the brink of failure, as much of the countries infrastructure can't cope with searing temperatures. make shift foil used on steel bridges in an attempt to deflect the heat. road surfaces beginning to melts, more alarming voluntary ambulance stuff, trying to back up an already fully stretched national health service,
6:36 pm
dealing with heat related emergencies. and in london, if you get out of the sun and go on the ground, it's even worse. so why is it that britain can cope with heat waves? so much of it to do with it's outdated and inadequate infrastructure does come with extreme temperatures, payroll london with some pass, just can't see what the fuss is about. 3536 degrees. people pay money to go to places with that and those places don't ever conditioning either. yeah. so you basically think it's over the top. yeah. but american tourist isn't impressed. it gets us high regularly, but we have air conditioning everywhere and everything's set up for it to be that hot. i from in the weather is just fine with the increasing
6:37 pm
threat of extreme weather events caused by global warming. many civil engineers believe countries like the u. k need to invest much more. the u. k is seen the impact of climate change and not as much as other countries are in the world. and therefore, perhaps the urgency is now spelled as much as he should, that they got big really big task in hand. and they should be starting on it right now. well, nell, that sense of urgency is beginning to rise along with a temperature setting new records all across the u. k. andrew simmons al jazeera london, while la alaneese mary villi is a chief heat officer of athens, greece says she joins us from there. thanks for being a on the programmer. what did you make of the difficulties that her the u. k has been having and other places. well, we've known for her for
6:38 pm
a while now that as a europe has been really suffering from key plays in general. there 2018. 19202020. now to 20. these were really hot. the years for northern, for northern and usually hot years for northern europe. and then 2021 was more in southern europe. and now in 2022 we're seeing again the northern areas being very affected and the southern areas being very affected. so, and it's, it's, it's been, am, if i can say a hotspot into a international globally. and we, we know that climate change effect different parts of the globe in different ways. and it seems that europe, the mediterranean, but also northern europe, has been at continuously been experiencing extraordinary temperatures at the last few years. a hot spots indeed. so in what measures sir,
6:39 pm
has athens taken there not to be more prepared for in creasing heater in the years to come? i'll let you el alleged, you know, immediately meant, but again, i'll, i'll start to that. so in, so athens has been, what we've been doing and the women thinking about responding to heat has been hauled. we are thinking about awareness raising as a 1st category. then preparedness actions. and then finally redesign redesigning the city for he's, which is the more long term and the hardest. ah, as far as awareness, racing is concerned, it's an extremely important issue. because somehow, even though we are experiencing extraordinary heat waves, it hasn't really or is and to, and to policy levels and to change of behavior levels among the people. so both are the awareness raising and the data collection and the creation of like really strong and visuals and really strong messages for how serious
6:40 pm
keep waves are for human health as well as ecosystem. but as well as the economies of our countries in our cities, and has to be really drilled in because i, i, you know, we gall heed to the silent killer. because actually, among all other extreme weather conditions, he is the most is the one that kills the most people. so in the awareness raising category, what we've done in athens and we do together with the city of seville, which has been experiencing extremely hot temperatures. the last a week and is, are we created the for the 1st them, the categorization of heat waves, intervene has done also naming and categorizing of heat waves. so we have 3 different categories and air. the categorization is based on figuring out in each of these cities in the past,
6:41 pm
what kind of heat is actually linked to air and jump in the percentage of our mortality. so actually has the effect within the methodological category. it's, i think it's a very interesting methodology because especially for policy makers, it's really important to know also, you know, not just a methodological data, but what is actually going to be the effect on the people. okay. and let me just interrupt me there. briefly. you mentioned something about building design in athens. can you be a bit more specific about that? so this is the 3rd thing that i was gonna get to, but i'll go directly to that there that the 2nd i can go quickly through the 2nd. the 2nd pillar, which has to do with preparedness, actions, short term things to protect the most vulnerable, which, you know, we know the most vulnerable categories and how can we make sure that we are there present and a doing an early warning specifically for these people. and having ways to check in
6:42 pm
on them and provide them with cooler conditions. so this is one of the, i'll quickly go through that. and then finally, we have to re design our cities and an air in athens. this means to a large extent, i mean most cities actually this means to really radically reintroduce nature. and it is because we do have technologies and we do have my theory that we can use to lower temperatures. but are we really needs the best? the best shield that we have against high temperatures is to amber, create strong, and 3 or 3 canopies and healthy dri canopies as well as bring, bring water to there to the surface of our cities, and generally, really support biodiversity within the city or network built a network, i mean in the, in london you are very lucky because you have really amazing parks,
6:43 pm
which are really cooling the city down, especially if you're, if you're live near them. but a lot of cities around the world do not have green and blue infrastructure. they've really been building with a lot of cement and asphalt. so, and these are really an absorbing heat and radiating it, especially at night making it particular danger. okay. okay. i think we're gonna have to leave it there. we did get through quite a lot there. so we, we very much appreciate your time. any very, really chief heat officer of athens. thank you. yes. may luck buy a party of pakistan's from a prime minister. emron con has won the most seats and by elections in the country's most populous region. his supporters have been celebrating him when joe, who's out mean by minister chavez sheriff's muslim, because last it's now in the george he. and if provincial assembly, i'll hide, it has more from the whole life it slowly coming back to normal in the provincial
