8:05 pm
firefighters and about a 125 trucks that are in working in this area, trying to control the situation. this is of course, 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 hottest weeks have not even approached that that is in august. so there is certainly a concern about what is to come yet. in phones, more than 20000 actors of land have been burned french president, manuel macro is in the test to bu shinji holland region, meeting firefighters and thanking them for their work. they've been frustrated by scorching temperatures and strong dry winds as they battled to separate fires. near bordeaux, so small and somewhat on view of the changes we are experiencing not only effect france, it affects the entire mediterranean region and even beyond several european countries

's on wednesday. the, when it will be chosen in a ronald bow time will replace bowers johnson as the prime minister in september. because i went to the dean baba who's following events for south side of westminster. and looking ahead now the conservative m p 's have voted. and now they
8:07 pm
have to leave it up to the larger conservative party membership across the united kingdom to make up their minds. that's right, so were some uncertainty, but no surprise really, that the 2 names that go forward are, are the former chancellor richie soon act and less trust foreign secretary. now, it seems that lives trust gained a large amount of support from people who had back to penny mordant, who has knocked out in the year, lost her rounds of voting amongst them. peas on wednesday, liz truss had said that if she were prime minister, she would hit the ground running from day one. her campaign team have suggested that she would prioritize tax cuts in the immediate future trying to help the public with the cost of living crisis. perhaps abandoning some government spending plans, which he suna has put out a, a video on social media saying that he's the only candidate still in the race. who
8:08 pm
could defeat care, stammer the labor opposition leader in a general election. and that is due of course, by 2024. now there has been all along a big contingent among the conservative party of any one. but richie, many activists unhappy about the level of spending that he committed to during the pandemic. and his reluctance to commit to tax cuts to fight inflation. so there is a bit of a difference in approach already opening up are the, are the bookmakers for what it's worth are actually i'm suggesting at least trust is the favorite. she the, the next leader rather than pence. the next prime minister will be chosen by september, the 5th, the by a maximum of 200000 conservative party members. now, 5 years ago that membership was 70 percent male and their average age was 57 years old. so not representative of the greater electorate,

8:10 pm
why should the public trust us? we haven't exactly covered ourselves in glory and quoting list trust as saying we can't go on with our current economic policy. so damaging, or if you like for the image of the conservative party right now, because a monday they voted in a vote of no confidence. they actually expressed their confidence in boys johnson, the man who they had. bice, the score rejected with lots of resignation, sir. not so long ago, which led to his downfall. of course. lots of questions about them where the party goes next. but they will be hoping now, given that damage that via the, the leadership campaign has clearly, darn in terms of infighting. they'll be hoping that trust and su neck will concentrate on policy and not personality though to see what happens or for the moment that in thanks very much for the update that he bubble there for us in london. now the european commission is asking member states to cut back on gas consumption by 15 percent to prepare for
