9:02 pm
have already led to the deaths of more than 500 people in fine fight as a struggling to contain a huge while budding, just north of the greek capital. now thousands of people have had to flee their homes. it follows a week of blazes across france, portugal and spain, which have forced tens of thousands of people to evacuate. the same bas robbie has more from the more a province, which is one of the worst effected in spain. we're here in the town of tomorrow and where we are, is that the command in control center, the central hub for the coordination of all great air and ground rescue, and firefighting operations in this part of northwest spain. and what the people here are doing is using satellite communication technology and spotter plains to try to track wildfires in real time to try to make sure they can get to them before they spread before they grow too big before they become far too unmanageable for the teams to take on the work being done here is vital and what we're hearing. the
9:03 pm
latest information from officials is that there is reason for optimism just a few days ago. there were 37 wildfires 20 of them out of control yesterday. there was 30 wildfires, most of them out of control today that number has dropped to 16 and only 9 of them are very, very serious. but that, that success comes after some very, very dramatic, and often desperate efforts being carried out by the teams being coordinated out of this hope. now wildfires may be under control for the moment in this part of the country, but there is one in it's capable ground reality. it is still very, very hard. 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 goes as high as a 1000. since the heat wave began, almost 2 weeks ago,
9:04 pm
the thousands of people in greece have had to flee their homes as far as burnett. athens cruise on the slopes of mountain tele battling flames, which are being found by strong winds. at least 15 plains and 9 helicopters are trying to douse the blaze. 25 kilometers northeast of the great capital don't such a battery has more from traffic. according to officials who we spoke to from the fire department, the main concern and the challenges they face overnight was the high winds and the changing direction of the wind, which was helping the fires continue. and this now spread to the region. just about 10 minutes drive north of here behind the mountains, behind me of the delhi region. and those flames continue as we speak because they have affecting nearly 30000 residents in that area. in this town, about 3500 residents were evacuated on tuesday afternoon. and as you can see, as there is very little activity going on right now, because it is still very much off limits to most of the residents,
9:05 pm
we have to ask for special permission to enter here. see what the pause, what is the fire, the damage cause. we also saw a number of homes that have been burned in this town. now they are nearly 500 firefighters and about 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 france, more than 20000, he has land have been burned for, for the mental macro is inlet test abuse in general, region which you find sciences and thanking them for their work. they be frustrated by scorching temperatures and strong dry winds as they battle 2 separate fires near
9:06 pm
board ho. mom. in the summertime view, the changes we are experiencing not only effect france, it affects the entire mediterranean region and even beyond several european countries and countries that we're not experiencing great fires, living through an acceleration of the direct consequences of climate change. and so all of this will require us to make structural decisions in the coming months for the coming years. and what as the crisis is play out in water, mexico, as wealthiest cities, monterey has reached a critical point after months of trying to mitigate a water shortage caused by persistent drought. the dams that supply the region of more than 5000000 people with water close to being dry authorities. i restrict water to just a few hours a day when will repel or join us now from la baka watered them on the outskirts of long tray in mexico manny and i were reporting on extreme drought conditions across
9:07 pm
northern mexico. well only just last month. so it's got a lot worse now. that's rights a hell. and you said it in your introduction there, the situation has grown to, to the point of it becoming critical. i'll set the scene for you a little bit because this is kind of a surreal site. we are essentially in the middle of a dry lake, but if you can see behind me, that is a boat that is just sitting a top, the cracked soil of the, of what would otherwise be the middle of a lake. if you were to look for us on an apps on a map application, on a mobile phone, we would be sitting in the middle of this late. we are not. these are of some float was floating restaurants that are no longer floating. the extreme drought conditions here have led to the water at this dam, essentially all but drawing up it's again, kind of a surreal side. if we look here to the left, there are city employees, water workers that have been slowly extracting water to provide some relief to the
9:08 pm
residence of monterey. but experts say that this is not a sustainable solution. mostly, after all, as a city of 5000000 people. now, experts have identified several contributing factors to why this water crisis is persisting the most significant of which is a weather phenomenon known as la nina, which disrupts traditional weather patterns. in the case of northern mexico, it's meant that the rainy season, which was supposed to begin in may, has yet to begin. there has not been a single significant rainfall in this part of the country. for months at this point . so climate scientists are saying that climate change is exacerbating the linea weather phenomenon. there are other factors people are pointing to poor management by local leaders. they are criticizing international businesses bottling companies, specifically ones like coca cola heineken among others who continue to extract water unregulated despite the drought conditions. what we're hearing overwhelmingly, from people here in this part of mexico, is that what they want is for it terrain,
9:09 pm
but it just doesn't seem like there's any precipitation on the horizon. what does the, when does the crisis like this, manuel, you know, the public, as you say, look to the authorities, those that they voted into power to try and help them out of the crisis. so what's mexico's president been doing about all of this? if anything at all a lot of the criticisms are not only of the current federal administration or the current state government here in double don't. but of previous had ministrations who have known that this is a problem that this, the little, the critical level of water crisis that we're seeing. now, scientists have been warning about this for decades. so this is a problem that goes of far beyond just the current administration. now, the federal government here in mexico as well as the state government, have allocated resources to provide some relief to local residents, providing trucks of water, public cisterns. but there's also criticism of the mexican governments, a larger policies regarding climate change. mexico as president has a strategy of,
9:10 pm
of making the country energy self sufficient. so there's been a sort of doubling down on the distraction of fossil fuels, particularly petroleum. there is growing criticism, growing pressure, both nationally and internationally against mexico government. we were now hearing from trade representatives from the united states and canada who are saying that mexico was failing to make its commitments under the united states, mexico, canada trade agreement, or u. s. m. c, a commitment, specific to renewable resources like solar energy and when wind energy so, so hail in simple terms. the criticism is that in the face of the worst of the impact of climate change in different regions of mexico, the mexican government is falling short of a sustainable solution. lower power force that re monterey in mexico. thanks very much for the update that's closer to europe. now where italy's coalition government is falling apart, after a long day of debate, whether or not it could be saved, prime minister money or drug called a confidence vote and made
9:11 pm
a stern speech to parliamentary and asking them to come together for the sake of the country but coalition partners for that italia and the league party have announced that though both abstained from the vote, prime minister drug, he attempted to step down last week, but the president rejected his resignation. adam rainy has the very latest from his morrison from the italian capital, and i am ready with so much going on in the italian parliament, all we edging closer to the collapse of the government. despite those, please from the incumbent prime minister. it seems so, so we have just the, in the past 20 minutes or so had the vote in the senate behind me and it looks like he may have gotten enough votes and number, but the right votes didn't come in. and those votes are members of his unity coalition. the parties you mentioned, and also the 5 star movement said they were abstaining. see, of all these members of government not voting to support their prime minister. now
9:12 pm
we don't know yet, if prime minister that i, he has headed over to the key denali, the hill, where the president of the republic president, italy works and lives to say he's resigning him. but. busy all signs point to the fact that this evening madea draggy, the prime minister, will probably go with another offer of resignation. and it's very unlikely if that happens, that the president would reject it this time. there's just too much political pressure. clearly going on this bottled up pressure with elections less than a year away on the calendar. it looks like the president is going to have to decide between 2 possibilities. one, either calling early elections for the fall, which some see is most likely, but that creates a lot of problems here because the main thing a time politicians do in the fall is pass a budget. and if they're all vying for power, that's just not going to happen. and this is at a dangerous time here in italy politically because you have a tie ins crying out for a hope like other countries around the world. there spiraling inflation cost of
9:13 pm
living increases the countries dealing with this suffocating drought. bagger. cultural sector is really on the ropes. you have like millions and millions of dollars in and crops just dying in the field. meanwhile, these parties just can't seem to agree, but i guess seen across europe as this steady hand, who could have helped pull italy out of this crisis help past reforms to receive tens of billions of dollars more and e u recovery funds. but they just couldn't bring it together here. so this evening in rome, at a coalition partners often have various requirements and needs. but am, could you put your finger all what they actually are complaining about what they're not able to get from maria druggie? yeah, i think what is happening here and it may be, seem quite, ah, quite detailed for an international audience, but basically at one party, the 5 star movement that has the largest or had the largest number of seats in
9:14 pm
parliament. but in the polls right now, they're one of the least popular parties. they were almost a protest vote several years ago they came into power. their most recent prime minister convey was kind of myth that the raggy seemed to be always saying he could lead and he didn't want the input from the fivestar party. and finally, they got to an impass baggy was proposing a law that the 5 star party couldn't get in on board with that would mean spinney millions of dollars on a project in rome. and that kind of triggered this crisis that they weren't gonna support him last week. and when that happened, all these other political parties kind of piled on seeing if they could actually push this other party, the 5 star movement, out of the unity government. what you saw here on wednesday here in rome was several parties who last week voted in support of the raggy are now st. they won't vote unless that agi goes ahead without this 5 star movement. so it became this kind of inside political fight that the parties after ruling for some 18 months
9:15 pm
together. just can't agree on the most basic things of how to keep the government running for the next few months before the plant election. so it looks most likely the president is going to call early elections will find out more in the next 24 hours. he has an imagination of italian politics out in rainy forest. i roam. thank you. well, still a heard here on the al jazeera news, our an energy crisis in bangladesh forces the government to take drastic action. also, the european union tells member states to cut gassy, searched by 15 percent as an energy plan. after russia threatened to cut off gas supplies and lay drinks for to shock winter in the 1500 meters up the world athletic championships. ah.
9:16 pm
but the european commission is asking member states to cut back gas consumption by 15 percent to prepare for a possible cut off of russian energy supplies. the old stream, one pipeline which carries gas from russia to germany. the schedules come back on line after maintenance on thursday, but there are fears that it may not, in retaliation for european sanctions against russia. russia is black mailing us. russia is using energy as a weapon. and therefore, if in any of that event, whether it's a partial major cut off of russian gas or torture, cut off of russia, gas, europe needs to be ready. we are asking the member states to reduce by 15 percent, the gas consumption. 15 percent. why this is the equivalent to $45.00 bcm of gas and with such a reduction, we can make it safely through this winter in case of
9:17 pm
a complete disruption of lashley gas with us or butler as muffin, paris. any disruption to that gas supply would be devastating, says borderline for the, for industries, for the public, for consumers and back as why she is saying it is very important that the you tries to protect his own gas supplies, build them up if you like. because if not, some countries that rely very heavily on washing gas, for example, hungry, the czech republic could really suffer very greatly if the supplies were lost. the commission is proposing that member states try and reduce a gas supply by 15 percent between the month of august and march to get through that winter period that would help a reduce any impact or disruption on gas supply. should russia, for example, cost or reduce a gas supplies to the unit? this would be on a voluntary basis, says the commission,
9:18 pm
but they would look at the possibility of making these reductions mandatory if there was a real energy, emergent emergency. now there has been some reaction to this proposal. some you business leaders is saying, well, this is something that would be to devastating in terms of the impact on the industry to make these gas carts. we've also heard from some member states including a poland pony says look, we've got 98 percent of our gas storage filled so we don't really need to look at reductions and that would impact on our economy. so certainly something that's going to be very easy. it's not an easy all going to help the commission, but the same time what the commission is saying is if we don't do that, we'll all be in trouble and was supposed to be collectively looking after each other. but iris is the founder and editor of in telling us he explains how europe scramble for gas could cause the next energy shortage. this is a contingency plan. what the afraid of is. just going to not restart the most stream one pipeline,
9:19 pm
which is to come back online tomorrow. and already in june gas from the rest of the state gas company had already, which is flows through no stream one to year by 60 percent. and there's a scramble going on now to fill the gas tanks for november 1st, where the set that needs to be 80 percent full. and if not stream one time doesn't come back on the line, then it's going to be extremely difficult. and already last year was the 1st year we started to win. so without the time being 80 percent they were any, it's 77 percent. but even that small short for cause the huge gas prices and prices to spike. and it's just not clear at this point where the pipeline is going to come back online. and if it did, even at the reduced for 40 percent, then that would probably enough to get to november the 1st with 80 percent of the tanks full. and what lines talking about here is possibility of gas not being
9:20 pm
resumes. and then as contingency plan to make sure that europe can get through the wind, because without, i guess there's going to be a huge energy crisis. industry will have to cut production. that people will be forced to turn the thermostat down several degrees and in prices with spike even further than they did last year. and they were already up 20 percent. i purchased move into panama. i was calling for a national strike doctrine deal with the government on fuel prices collapsed. road blogs have shut down a major highway, resulting in food shortages. norbert langley has moved this rally in panama city. as a consequence, the collapse deal between the protest movement and the government. it aimed to reduce fuel prices in exchange for ending 2 weeks of demonstrations. ah, but these people are calling the fresh action that putting out of us
9:21 pm
a little of when the natural coordinating committee, indigenous peoples of panama, colon the entire indigenous population to a national strike on thursday. the agreement was signed in cherokee province last week. it lowered the price of fuel by about a 3rd in exchange unlocking the pan american highway. a crucial traveling. the protesters tore up the deal thing, paying less that the pump won't solve acosta within crisis or end corruption. oh, man is like this. a displayed across roads. this one cools the cheap medicine and justice for the pool. the international monetary fund says, recent take a show, the economy is improving. since for pandemic, there is still a high rate of inequality. and the protests are having a direct impact on supermarket shelves. i say the alloy luckily, we got tomatoes body no on it, but there is
9:22 pm
a problem. the one soup market here that sells vegetables and fruit has practically closed more a coffee. i'm only up quickly, as you can see, most of the stalls are closed early because they don't have anything to sell their credit. let's hope the government and leaders reach a solution soon. protests to say they will take to the streets until the prices of basic goods already. but with market struggling to stock up, panama, 4 and a half 1000000000 people were going hungry. nor about money to 0. no rush, you see not call list trust will be buttons next. prime minister, the former chancellor and foreign secretary all the final 2 candidates in the case . conservative party leadership contest, trade minister penny mortar was eliminated in the final vote by empties on wednesday the when it will be chosen in a rental boat and will replace forest johnson as prime minister in september. because i went to the baba who's live outside westminster, where all the excitement happened through the day nadeem. i mean,
9:23 pm
looking ahead now we have these 2 candidates who have to try and convince really the conservative party membership. but they're up for the job. that's right, sale via conservative m p's of now played their role in whittling down the candidates to just the final 2 on wednesday. as you are saying, penny mordant knocked out. now the bookmakers favorite is clearly less trust foreign secretary and of course where she soon act the former chancellor he resigned, came out on top, but less trust gained. the most votes from the previous round. she had said on wednesday that a she becomes prime minister. she will hit the ground running and she's talked about and she's talked about and reducing and taxes and her campaign team have suggested that she may be willing to scrap some government spending her policies or spending plans where she soon ack himself is put out
9:24 pm
a video saying he's the only person who can actually win in a general election against the labor, the opposition under kear storm a while now, they'll have to sell their ideas to the roughly 200000 pat, slightly less conservative party members in a series of nationwide hustings. we believe there are 12 of them starting at the end of next week live stream, so the public can watch as well. and then there needs to, well, that'll end by september. the 2nd and the party are saying there will be a result, a winner by september, the 5th, a new leader of the conservative party. that will then go to the queen and say that they are in a position to form the new government. so the, the, the battle over ideas is starting and, but really a lot of the focus in the leadership debate has been quite pernicious. and i think
9:25 pm
the party will be hoping that the argument will now shift on to policy rather than personality. and indeed, it was a bombastic performance by the prime minister as he left on his final day of questions and answers the insults of plenty for the opposition. also building up the conservative party record while they've been in government public, i think the public barrier ample opportunity. that's right. to hell. i mean, it's no surprise that boys, johnson was extolling his own virtues, saying what he thinks he has done during his time in office. i'm talking about the handling of the pandemic and the leadership of the economy insults nothing new there either. he called a care storm or the labor position leader or human ballard. at one point saying he was pointless. and that any of the leadership candidates, he said, would white the floor with him. while opinion polls suggest something different, the party, the conservative party know that they've been damaged by this leadership campaign
9:26 pm
case. dumber was able to read out quotes from the leadership debates, which were extremely damaging. things like can be bad. an arc who was in the race not so long ago saying why should the public trust us, they know there's a lot of great ground to be made up and, and term labor and now calling both list trust and re she soon back can continuity candidates saying their fingerprints are all over the state, the country finds itself it well. the conservative party members now have to decide which candidate for them represents change. they know that's what people are climbing for. clamoring for the next general election is not due until 2024. but looking at those opinion polls, they do realize that there is some way to go that he barber for us there in london . thanks very much. the name as cross over to jonathan. less say he's genest new cape, little commentator joins us now live from london. jumped always could have you on the program. is an interesting choice for the party membership or to vote on i mean,
9:27 pm
what are your initial impressions of why the parliamentary membership have gone through these 2 candidates while the parliamentary party rejected can take those of being she moderates and such as tom, seeing that until tested such as kenny bade knock and penny more than of any more than most the favorites kansas a couple days ago. but it's in, she started talking, it became apparent that she really didn't have the level of experience required on these charts and which do not both occupied major government departments. and you could argue that they have the experience, if not the policies necessary to do the job, we will. what will the national conservative membership be looking for in the next leader? and which one seems to come up tops? because if you say, oh correspondence said, you know, there's a feeling that they've sort of continuity candidates according to the opposition.
9:28 pm
it's going to be hard paths to distinguish who comes out on top here, the one that actually decided to resign. the one that stuck with boris johnson. yes, i do think boys, john, so be such a big feature in the thinking actually it'll be more. he's best to safeguard breaks. it echoes iteration because that devices are list ross has gone very hard line or breaks that even though she was romania in 2016. then also you got students you but the economy less trust as promised touch cos. as nadine was saying, you got the perennial culture, is she much which has been, it pulls it from the us. i'm so i would expect to hear more from that. and of course, used to have the idea, the legs ability electability and here is the best place to take on the labor party . and on this both part, both calendars have major weaknesses. which is, you know, is an ultra rich from a public school boy,
9:29 pm
which is not going to necessarily go down well in the north and a midland seats. that the concept is one of the 1st time in 2019. unless truss is not considered to be an able media, former or speaker, and she is famed verbal gaffes and blunders. and it's not too clear that she said she's going to be able to rally more than a rump of the right link. can talk about sort of the multi cultural ellen, the elephant in the room is the conservative party membership ready for a man of color to lead or when we often think of the membership post being white and middle class, i think that question is going to be raised it has been muted in some quarter setting several tv shows and radio stations nationally in the u. k. i think that we have to acknowledge that would be a segment of the conservative electorate, which would not vote for a person of color. or having said that, i think most people would, because it really is about the kind of policy is a spouse. unless not
9:30 pm
a pretend that either candidate is going to be a pro, multiculturalism, for example, that those are supporting the deportation as of illegal migrants will eat and to britain illegally refugees. rwanda for example. richard ingles is extreme policy just a couple months ago and is now mainstream. so provided that, you know, the candidates are espousing hard write policies, anti migrant policies. i don't think it matters particularly. i was there. well that skin colors, i think the another interesting fact is another woman potentially to be the prime minister following in the footsteps of stature. and may is a tough act to follow. they have that sort of pedigree to follow, but also they need to be the type of character that the public and certainly the, the conservative parliamentary and a membership group believe can when the next election is trust, the right person this trust is not the right person the person i think be,
9:31 pm
you know, on all a lot of us can say that with some certainty, and she has very little appeal beyond kind of a right action in our party and in the membership is quite possible that the membership, which is obviously going to be paying extreme because that's where members tend to be in any party. people who are most so devout in natalie. so it's possible that they will go for trust because she seen as more consulted more true believer that though those views will be out of that with majority of the public. and that's why memberships don't make decisions very well on. he's going to be the most electrical candidates. having said that, as i said, rashid riches, do not is not unless we're candidate in many ways, either as big as the issues around his reputation around his is. you know, he's right. tax takes around, isn't greenhouse status. he was dying by the police or breaching coded look down
9:32 pm
example. i date, you know, the later possible fe, each of them particularly, would be interesting to see how this all turns out in the weeks ahead. interesting conversations, that's all we'll be having with you again, jonathan. listen, london, thanks so much for your time. now at least 8 people are dead and 23. others are injured in an attack in iraq that happened in the hook province, which is located in the kurdistan region of the country. iraq state news agency said all of those that would kill the tourists at a resort, iraq's prime minister list for alex z. amy has condemned the attack on a sunday security delegation to investigate the incident moment of the what had joins me now from the capital baghdad. what more do we know about how this incident occurred? well according to the council of ministers of the iraq cit kurdish region, this is an artillery attack that targeted a resort in that notice sort of a rock, namely in at the whole result. that's
9:33 pm
a touristic result that iraq is from central and southern provinces at fleet to order to escape the scorching summer temperatures. to have some kind of refreshment, to enjoy this, the streams, the natural streams there that fees the, the, the, the better weather actually. but according to the same source, 8 people at least, were killed civilians for girls and for young people $23.00 others are being hospitalized, including a few of them in intensive care. most of all call me the rocks. prime minister has ordered that the one did be brought by air it back to about that. there is anger. many people are really furious asking the government to, to respond. many people went to the streets in counter, but in central iraq and in buffer and southern iraq. trying to stage
9:34 pm
protest in front of a turkish opposite. the incident has been condemned by civil, local and regional and international institutions, including the united nations assistant mission for iraq, which condemned the debt tech and called named that it is hillary attack that targeted it. civilians and military operations in the cross border areas are posing multiple threats and danger to civilians lives now and it hook a province in it who province it people are very angry, they have been complaining. and remember, many people were forced to flee the villages because of the military operations going on in and around. there is military operations that have been long should by turkish forces for 3 years. now, a targeting get the p k, k,
9:35 pm
the fighters of the could this stand workers a party which is labeled as a tourist organization by turkey, the us and european union. so people say that they have been complaining to her, it is that to put it into these military operations that are hurting their lives. there are properties and the areas, but no action has been taken from iraq until this moment. moment of the why had the induct that? thank you. well, that's what helps towing. i know as well as i was betting across europe combined with reco, breaking temperatures of politicians, renewing their commitment to fight climate change. on monday, the german foreign minister on atlanta, barbara called the wells biggest security problem called it the world's biggest security problem. and he was present, joe biden is that to address the issue in a speech later on wednesday, i'm joined by christiana. forget us as she's the former executive secretary of the un framework, conventional climate change and coast of the podcast, outrage,
9:36 pm
an optimist enjoys be now from san jose in costa rica, miss for whether it's a good have you on. i'll just, sarah, thank you for your time. you worked on the climate change issues for much of your career, perhaps the 2015 paris agreement was your highlight. how concerned are you of the events that we're seeing across the globe in the past few weeks? huge floods across bung dash and india and now much of european fire. well, i am or some very, very concerned, especially for those that are on the short stick here and really personally suffering from these conditions. we have record breaking heat waves across europe. in portugal, italy, france, spain, in the u. k. temperatures reaching 114 degrees fahrenheit way up in the forty's in centigrade. this is something that we have never seen. we will remember as well that india and pakistan had very similar heat waves at the
9:37 pm
beginning of this year, 2 or 3 months ago. so these are not isolated cases. science has been telling us about this warning us about this for years. and unfortunately, every time that we have one of these events or 2 or 3 or 4 happening at the same time, it's almost like the alarm clock goes off. we remember for 5 minutes that we have to do something about climate change. and then we press the snooze button and we snooze later. we snooze continuously and we sleep, walk our way into a very serious situation. so christmas walking for want situation to the next. why is it that these climate change conferences from you know, cop 24, called 25 cop 26. we're heading towards cop $27.00. everybody stands up and applauds as soon as they make an agreement and a managed to complete one sentence, you might say of an agreement, but then nothing, or to say nothing else happens after that. we're finding it very difficult for politicians to make that move. yes, i would agree it is, it is astonishing that we have virtually universal agreement on the fact that we
9:38 pm
have to be carbonized, the global economy that we have to be at. nat 0 emissions like 2050 bout was universally approved and adopted in 2015 in paris at cop 21 just to go one. now a few numbers lower than yours. and the fact is that although we have that agreement, although that is science based policy, we're not actually implementing that. private sector is moving, financial sector is beginning to move. but no one, frankly, whether it's private or public sector is moving at the speed and scale that is necessary if everybody's really concerned. now, especially with what's happening across europe and certainly parts of asia, we're heading towards cult 27th. the focus will be on egypt. another hot spot, when it comes to the environment, what do you want to be addressed there?
9:39 pm
