a welcome respite. children my all for those of us who don't have much money to go on holiday, it's great. it's hard and expensive to entertain children all summer in paris, but hear what they can enjoy the water. it was a much bleaker picture in the south west of the country. days of hot, dry weather have exacerbated the situation for fire fighters who are battling wildfires. the french government is urged people to remain vigilant and put most of the country on high alert. but as heat waves become more frequent, this campaigner says the government needs to do more to tackle climate change. we had asthma to hit waves, or in 15 years that in 45 years. so we see an increase in the intensity of in the frequency. i may trust right now is in the citizen power. so in us managing to put additional and sufficient pressure on of our, on our governments. assume they finally take action. meteorologist say temperatures

a deal. and the in of a public manner essentially shredded that agreement with the government. this means is that essentially we're back to where we were a week ago. and these protest new demonstrations have started in the capital of panama. new blockades have been set up along the panamanian highway. so what seems to be a clear step forward through and this crisis instead of now it looks like we are further back than we were before the weekend van. this is starting to be a major worry for, for the government, for many people who live in the capital, panama, that is because produces not arriving at many of the markets in the capital that's, that's a big issue. there are already shortages of fruits and vegetables, for example, of meat and the capital panama. also, there is an issue with the transport of goods trying to reach the panama canal,
