7:06 pm
this hub. now wildfires may be under control for the moment in this part of the country, but there is one in escape mobile ground reality. it is still very, very hot. there was a reprieve from high temperatures yesterday, but today it is hot once again. and what that means is that heat related deaths may go up once again. prime minister pedro sanchez did announce that in spain, at least 500 people are estimated to have been killed from the heat wave that number. if you include portugal on the beer in peninsula, it goes as high as a 1000 since the heat wave began almost 2 weeks ago. now thought the people in greece have her to see the homes of science, but there are things crews on the slopes of bump and tele battling flames, which are being found by strong winds. at least 15 planes and 9 helicopters are trying to dance. the 525 kilometers northeast of the greek capital, tulsa jabari, has more from brofy increase. according to officials who we spoke to from the fire department. the main concern and the challenges they faced overnight was the high

7:08 pm
one of the many fires that have been ongoing since the start of the fire season, according to the governments that is as of may 1st until july 14th, they've recorded new 2500 wildfires in greece. and of course, the hardest weeks have not even approached that that is in august. so there is certainly a concern about what is to come yet in france, more than 20000 as a land have been burnt. french president manuel my call is in like test to be in. there's your own region, meeting firefighters and thanking them for their work. they've been frustrated by scorching temperatures and strong dry winds as a battle 2 separate fires near bordeaux. do you think commission is asking member seems to cut back gas consumption by 15 percent to prepare for a possible cut off of russian energy supply. the north stream, one pipeline, which carries gas from russia to germany, the shuttle to come back on the line after maintenance on thursday. but they are all fears. it may not, in retaliation for european sanctions against russia. russia is black mailing us.

7:11 pm

7:22 pm
ukraine's of the money could be used for those weapon systems. and just last month, the by the administration announced that it was going to send to national advance surface to air missiles. so these are medium range, a surface to air missiles that could be used as missile defense, but they're only using go only going to said to obviously that's not even close to being able to cover a country as large as ukraine. we do know the white house isn't said that they're going to announce additional military aid to ukraine this friday. so we watching to see if more of these so called ne sam systems are in are in the group. so her, please very emotional, very specific. they want surface to air missiles, political high in washington, dc. thank you. the forces of damage and important bridge in the southern cash or region that russia has been using to deliver supplies to its troops, the temporary administration in the russian control regions. as keith struck the reproach river bridge with us supplied rockets despite the damage the crossing still open, the bridge is one of any 2 that russia continues to supply or withdraw forces in
