thousands of people who've been evacuated or nearly 800 heat related deaths have been recorded as authorities across southern europe battle to control massive wildfires. while the 2nd record breaking heat wave in a month sweeps across the continent. a french meteorologist as southwestern parts of the country are experiencing a heat apocalypse, was someplace is recording double their usual july average temperature. or the 30 fires in spain of taught 220 square kilometers of forest. fueled by 8 days of extreme heat. temperatures are easing in portugal, but authorities worn at tender, dry conditions remain a threat, and the u. k is breast to hit temperatures of 40 degrees celsius in some places for the 1st time ever. wales has already recorded its highest temperature, but more that in a moment. first this report then bas robbie,
12:03 am
who's at some federal dylan ave, just outside one of spain's worst affected areas. the battling to control the infer across spain. it's a race against time to contain wildfires. that have been raging out of control from the south of the country to the north, where blazes have scorched 4600 hector's of land over the past few days. the train journeys also supported by the worst wildfires for a decade in a visit to one of the worst effected areas. spain's prime minister petro sanchez, made clear what he thought was to blame. you did. i want to say that evidently climate change kills it, kills people, kills ecosystems, the bio diversity, and it also destroy the most precious goods of our society which is affected by these wildfires. some homes, businesses and livestock were here in
12:04 am
a farming area in an agricultural area near the town of zamora, one of the worst effective parts of spain where the wildfires have been raging for days and we see truly apocalyptic scenes. the flames are just taking over suddenly the entire areas of farmland, entire buildings filled with animals and farming equipment. people are trying to use harvesters to dig fire lies to stop the fire where it is, but it continues to rage on and take over more and more land just using it as fuel burning further and faster in southwest france, firefighters were using every means at their disposal, including controlled burning, a tactic, use to clear out the buildup of flammable materials by igniting the surrounding vegetation. and it is a matter of urgency since tuesday. the blazes have already consumed thousands of
12:05 am
hector's of forests in the payroll region, and thousands of residents and tourist alike, forced to move to emergency shelters. amid all this is the uncomfortable reality of the effect of record breaking high temperatures. as delegates from 40 countries gathered at the petersburg climate dialogue in berlin. the message from the hosts act now before it's too late. and while we are still grappling with the fall out from the pandemic, the impacts of climate change shall be coming even more dangerous across the world . a threat at risk spilling out beyond countries directly affected. then basra b, l g 0. so mora, spain, a man has been airlifted to hospital out to escape to spanish wildfire with his clothes ablaze. a man was driving a tractor on the outskirts of the town of deborah when the vehicle was engulfed.
12:06 am
seconds later he was seen running from the fire and flames could be seen on his clothes. he was apparently trying to dig a trench to create a fire break between the blaze and buildings. a new giant crack has appeared on a glass here in northern italy, 2 weeks after a deadly avalanche kill. at least 11 people or 200 meter long crack was spotted by helicopter. after a local guide reported aloud rule, a chunk of the mammal autoglass here broke off earlier this month, sending torrance of ice rock and debris down the mountainside. experts, a warming, temperatures likely contributed to the avalanche or warnings the mammal added last year, could disappear entirely in the next 30 years. in the u. k, or thirty's, i warning temperatures could break records over the next 24 hours. he probing edge to take extra precautions with the 1st ever red warning for heat in effect, trying to temporarily suspended at one of london's efforts on monday after it's only runway closed for repairs due to the heat. under simmons reports from other
12:07 am
extreme heat by u. k. standards that is brought every aspect of travel into question. luton airport, north of london, diverted flights engineers called in because of a runway surface defect, trains all over the country going slow or getting cancelled. the threats of buckled rails brought networks to the brink of failure, as temperatures sort, makeshift foil used on old steel bridges in attempt to deflect the heat. an road surfaces beginning to melt more alarming than this voluntary ambulance stove, trying to back up an already fully stretched national health service, dealing with heat related emergency and in london, if you get out of the sun and go on the ground, it's even worse for why is it that britain can't cope with heat waves?
12:08 am
so much of it to do with it's outdated and inadequate infrastructure this call comes with extreme temperatures tear on london. you can even have it with some pass just can't see what the fuss is about. $3536.00 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 as high regularly, but we have air conditioning everywhere and everything's set up for it to be that high. i. the weather is just fine with the increasing threats of extreme weather events caused by global warming, civil engineers and climate scientists say the u. k. government has been too slow to react transport, infrastructures,
12:09 am
office and home building. all need to be adapted that needs to be major investment . as we kind of are changing towards a much hotter and u. k. we're gonna have to start re evaluating how we do things and start taking leaves out of our european neighbors books. and i thought that we can really deal with the problem as there arises. no, a sense of urgency is beginning to rise along with the temperatures all across the u. k. andrew simmons al jazeera london. so i'm a nurse is a professor of global change science at university college and, and he joined us live now by skype. thanks very much for being with us. and can you centers what the factors are behind this particular, you're wide heat wave? well, he plays on slee happened naturally, but this one has been turbocharged by the carbon emissions from burning oil,
12:10 am
gas, and coal. and those emissions mean now we can see temperature is much higher than we could have seen previously without this human impact of climate change. what about things like that the jet stream does that it? what's that, what's the effect that is having at the moment? you know, what we're seeing is, is, is more warm air coming from the sahara moving upwards and over europe. and then the jet stream seems to be getting more blocked the phase. so we have longer ways and more stable conditions, and that allows the heat to really, really build up to these records and very, very dangerous temperatures. and it's a very dangerous and i suppose there is that the loss of life. but what are the other other things that we should be concerned about? well, the infrastructure in countries and towns and cities is bill over
12:11 am
decades and in many places, centuries for a given climate. so london, pretty good and 20 degree c or 15 is cannot operate at 40 degree c. so now we're seeing a change in the climate, and these records are going to keep falling. if we keep putting carbon dioxide emission into the atmosphere, then we're out. i'd say that the ability of these countries in cities and towns to operate more now you talked about the longer term issues that need to be rezoned . what about the, the kind of short term, and are there any measures that would make a difference in, in coping better with these heat waves? this, i do have more regularly? well, i think in the short term we need emergency plans. and the good news is, scientists are getting much better at predicting these, this wave was pretty excited the week out from the beginning. so that there's time
12:12 am
to put in the very emergency measures in terms of like health services, dealing with multiple people, whether they be old people, young people and people changing their working pants to keep the really hot part of the day. but beyond that, there are limits to adaptation. there are limits to the kind of changes they can make. so ultimately we have to get these called the oxide emissions down to 0. when we get them to 0, then that means the climate will stabilize at the new level with all these additional heat weights. so we're going to have to adapt and cut the emissions down to 0 if we're going to stabilize the climate and half places that are comfortable places to live that we can on florida. and politically, you think there is the will now to actually act on some of the promises that have been made regularly over the years. well, they have been the most trailed disaster in human history. you know,
12:13 am
people like me and scientists across the world have been saying he world's will occur and they will be more frequent and they will more intensively keep on these missions. so it's incumbent on politicians and the outrage of citizen, mr. was those politicians really make those decisions, make all of the clean, green auctions like the most affordable and easy choices to make common cause about the, the kind of the, the broader risks beyond the, the things that happened with a heat wave sort of in the, in the short term, what about the kind of the, the multiplying factors that happen over of the longer term if these things happen more regularly and people who lives are disrupted? so there were 2 big concerns. and one is crop production and producing food, or the almost a 1000000000 people that live on or to derek. and these climate scientists can
12:14 am
really disrupt across many of seem to be sweltering and burning up in the fields in europe. at the moment. we've had flooding and other parts of the world affecting crop reduction. that is going to increase the prices, if food and that could lead to real instability in some countries, as people stop to protest and have civil unrest as they know as or they can't purchase enough food to eat every day. so that could spill over into, into, you know, regime change in countries and then cross border related any other migration as temperatures rise and could do droughts occur, then people may start to move that could be large movements of people across countries and outside cross border migration and that could also stress political systems. and those 2 things together are really dangerous combination. and societies get stressed by these multiple crises that are happening. st. progress is

12:20 am
because they felt that wasn't enough that the government was in offering what they were looking for. now these protests have been going on for 2 weeks. they are against the high cost of living, the price of gasoline, the price of food, the price of medicines, but also about the couldn't corruption that exist in panama, as politics and all this is complicated the, the capacity of the government to reach agreements with the protest there's sunday night agreement or deal was about reducing further reducing the price of gasoline in the country to $3.00 us dollars and 25 cents. but again, people decided that wasn't enough fluid. sanchez, they spoke person for the umbrella group. so that unites most of the unions and indigenous groups or participate in participating in the process essentially said

12:37 am
in us managing to put additional and sufficient pressure all of our, our governments assume they finally take action. meteorologist say temperatures should fool in the coming days until then people will have to endure the intense heat will trying to escape it the best they can. natasha butler, al jazeera paris, a heat wave in south asia earlier this year, sent temperature soaring to more than 50 degrees celsius in parts of pakistan. the pakistani federal minister for climate change. sherry, ramen storage is here that global action to limit the impact of extreme heat has been too slow. she is attending the petersburg climate dialogue and berlin and says her country is at ground 0 of climate change. talking about the problems we are identifying them. but when moving at a glacial face, our glaciers are melting and boxes on much faster than we are talking towards movement. and really there's very little time left. we have said to them that all
12:38 am
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, then are we are going to assume that a humanity is willing to stand by and watch the fires ridge further. the waters dry up, the wilson's acidify, the heat up and down countries like us with the largest sto, let you know, the largest glaciers outside the polar region. we've had 17 glacial 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 at 50 degrees at home. it is not 40, it became 50. it was the hardest place in the on the planet for 3 years. so yeah,
12:39 am
my heart bleeds for everybody else for climate refugees, for every one suffering. but it is going to be a crisis of leadership. if action is not deacon and all the pledges the promises, the ambitions on not translated into mechanisms that are realizable as being a strong earthquake in afghanistan. the 2nd in less than a month. several people have been injured in the quake in the eastern particular province. another earthquake in the same province last month killed warden, a 1000 people at least 20 people have died. most of them women after a boat capsized in pakistan around a 100 people were on board the boat when it sank in the industry for in the district. already say they all belonged to one clan and we're heading to a family wedding. around 30 people are still missing and he's 12 people have died after us fell into a river in central india around 50 passengers were on board. when the driver reported he lost control of the bus while crossing

12:42 am
