ah a full shot, an official and line of the judge witnessed confusion with his clarity with his family and witnesses, friends witnessed the beginning. witness the end witness life

witness an algebra? ah, this is al jazeera ah hello, i'm adrian finnegan. this is that he is alive from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes in a 1st step towards avoiding a global food crisis. a ship carrying grain leaves ukraine for the 1st time since russia invaded october. outside of supporters come inside iraq's parliament while a rival militia group calls for counter demonstrations. we are most military john to extends a state of emergency for a further 6 months or on patrol with my gerry,

a security forces on the hunt for oil thieves. and on sort of hires a sports american sporting icon bill russell is dies $88.00 b and b. a legend want to record 11 championships in the boston celtics and was a powerful civil rights activists. the 1st ship carrying ukrainian grain has left the port of odessa under an agreement signed last month between russia and ukraine. the rezone is a sierra leone flag dressel, carrying more than $26000.00 tons of corn. the agreement for a safe passage was broken by the you and a turkey in order to avoid a global food crisis. well, at small blinking icon is the vessel right now, sailing in the black sea, the turkish defense minister says the final destination is lebanon. but that the ship is heading to istanbul 1st al jazeera, senate casino lou is live for us in istanbul, but 1st let's speak to john henry,

who's in odessa. so, john, what's the latest on that ship? well, the rezone has dipped over the horizon behind me, but 3 hours ago, it's nose edged out of the port of odessa in it made history, bringing food to a world that needs it and hasn't seen a ship leave that port since the war began on february 24th. now there are other ships we're told 15 of them loaded up and ready to go, but it doesn't look like they'll be leaving right away. we heard from a pilot that we spoke to in the board of china morris, who's on one of those ships. he said he was originally told to get ready to leave today. he said there have been logistical problems. so it looks like what might be happening is they might be waiting for that 1st ship to make it all the way to ist envil, which it is expected to do at about noon g m t on tuesday, before setting out other ships. we haven't been told that for certain,

but as it took off, there was a member of parliament out here who said this was the liberation of the black sea. that this was part of the effort to defeat vladimir putin, even though russia has to be part of this agreement. there's a logistic center in istanbul that oversees all of this. and it's a very extraordinary cooperation, has got 20 people from the united nations, from russia, and from its war time enemy here and ukraine. so what happens from here, and whether this is the grain shipments continue to be made depend in large part on the journey of the rezoning. joan many, thanks. don't cirrus don't handle that reporting live from odessa. let's head to istanbul. a set of cross eulu is that for us, what happens to the ship once it gets to his thumb? bull sna andrea and we are

expecting thus the journey is going to be around 22230 c miles. so the 1st ship left or the support, and we are expecting some more ships leaving their ports and joining with the zone a vessel somewhere in the black sea and like a small like a corner of buffalo, they are expected to reach the shores of its stumble upon the north, at the black sea shores of his stumble before they enter the bath for straight, there is an end garage area, old ships, old vessels always anchored there before they get their paperworks done. before entering the truck is trace, and for this special vessels carrying ukrainian grains, they will be inspected by a un un let the legation when they anchor off there. and as john also mentioned, the vessel is expected to anchor off on the shores of stumble around 12

gmc, which is around 3 pm local. normally in, and i deal world in a, in a, in an assembly system. these kinds of inspections take around 3 to 4 hours, but as this is the 1st crossing of the ukrainian grain vessel, this may take longer. so we don't know when those vessels will literally enter the bus 1st rate. but as they entered the bus 1st straight and crossed the mind mar, a, see through the dark. now, straight these vessels are going to sail towards the agency and then towards down south to the mediterranean, and hopefully will carry the corns and grains all foot materials to the 1st estimation, triple level and on. and for the other with those of course, there are other destinations that we will be hearing since. but as, as i heard from my sources and the captains in ukraine right now, there's a 2nd ship named and novice start. a turkish on shift carrying your foreign flag is

also set to leave the odessa port after the ship after the vessel rezani. but of course, there are challenges ahead. first of all, the minds that have been laid on the shores of odessa is a risk for those vessels. of course, there is still a lack of trust towards russia, but encore, i expect that russia is going to be committed to this promise to this initiative is saw that the agreement will continue for 3 months. and all those ukranian greys will be carried to the world. marcus. again, i was very seldom cross you are. they're reporting live from. missed on bull. many thanks indeed to us and, and let's bring in and show us who steve security studies program director at ukrainian prism that's a ukrainian foreign policy and security think tank. she's in odessa right now. had a good to have you with us. okay, so this is an important 1st step, but it's going to take many more vessels, isn't it? to leave odessa and ukrainian ports before we can say that the fruit crisis is

going to be tackled. and indeed, before we can say that this deal, the turkey broke good between russia and ukraine is holding up. yeah, definitely. you have to thrive because let's remember, tell us that less than $20.00 off to the agreement with signs of russia charges the death of 4 deliberately. the versus they are and started to manipulate will be saying that in the agreement there are all newport facility involved in the. 7 loading of the grains and they have the right to talk to other parts of the war. that's the last 2 to sort of delay as we expected. the 1st she to leave last week. and i know that these were going, she was ready to leave bath on the for the why would there were plenty of difficulties because crew was not sure that it is any guarantee for the personal security that she owners were not sure of the insurance company. we're not sure. and the military, the navy wasn't sure that they allowed she that's worse because of the air dr.

press. and even yesterday, during the day we had the latest attack against you on the south. that's the threat . unfortunately, you feel you place. that's why everybody is very cautious about the for she for ya shed that it is just the tasking but not to the who will fledge opening of the floor before the wall. how many ships a day ordinarily would be leaving odessa? oh, that's huge. when we say about, oh, that's the work you need. so the santa we are speaking about 3 b course. so called b goes that the biggest from that children are more than usually there are 2 other words that it just kilometers from the c t. all of that, and we are talking about my g, g term the during the year them for example, for each of the 3 a bigger than the biggest of all work. and usually some are you the season. so for my, from a house on the he, i usually see it's a friend to serve. she just anchoring, waiting for the time to answer the work because of the rain season,

because that's going to need a u. t. o sam bus. that is the off season high season for the cropped. it's all the week. it is barley, it is the war and all others to that's why, for our work is always the be a 247 hours so enterprise and to see that we are we, there was no, she encouraged at all. she saw the vs run to work and under the terms of this feel, how many ships per day can we expect to leave once the operation is fully up and running. the question was not in operation only m s. for now, we have a box with the eighty's sheeps that being the art stock in the ports of your trade are however, some of them being sat legal i have and you saw that one is on the occupation mc live is headed targeted before to be in bond and especially the gray terminal being destroyed say, why are those she a sweet of words that we are talking now that being opened up with into this new

should keep we have approximately 2030. she said that over the law that many of them below the since february of weighty the question is how many sheeps will be ready to come to odessa began. ah, that is, that will be the question to the big. she all nurse are the ready to meet under the current conditions to some of their sheath. and also remember that many of these, she all are the older we change the culture of they are working in either region be he'll give a waiter for 5 months. us, do they need to find the free sheep that will be ready to come to you are the ports off while ukraine say, well, what we can physically operate? the port is a saved in terms like nothing is deployed there. everybody. i ready to work. but tell me, she's a ready to pass that to the big question. good stoked here. had i been effective date for being with us on a shell, a step in odessa? nearly 900 medical facilities in ukraine have been damaged or destroyed during

russia's invasion. the conflict is force hospital staff to come up with innovative ways to keep patients safe is also growing pressure on the health system, including medicines and supplies as the war takes its toll. earlier, we spoke to dr. carter baptiste, a lady who's volunteering at the regional hospital, innovative. he explains some of the challenges of health work as a currently dealing with it is the country in war that needs to keep its health system working normally are as normal as possible. but, you know, going back to the maternity we are seeing, for example, many more premature babies being born because of the stress of the war. because people, especially pregnant women, are not being followed throughout their pregnancy as normal. and we are also in terms of mental health, we're seeing a huge rise of cases of depression, anxiety with the health system that is not able to cope. so i, what i can confirm from being here on the ground is that we are dealing with major

health issues and challenges, not only today, but the country will be facing these challenges and many years to come. and the rebuilding of a free ukraine will be depend on international cooperation, also to make sure that the health response is put up to speed to the needs of the people. here with an he's out from out of here a still come on the program us. how speaker nancy pelosi begins a tour of asia, but it's drawing threads from beijing, colombia newly elected leader promises a new chapter with venezuela. and that means reopening borders and reviving trays of england celebrate victory of the women's european championship. we'll take a look back at what's been a record breaking tournaments. ah, she a lead them outside. i was calling all the rockies to join protesters. parliament. his supporters are still camped inside the building in bagdad green zone arrival

militia group, backed by iran, as called for a counter protest against what a cause. a suspicious qu, thousands of some support or storm parliament on saturday. the 2nd time in a week. that amount over whole of the political system and constitutional fact that high security green zone, where the process of taking place is the political heart of the parliament is located within the green zone. along with other government offices and international embassies will speak to were all corresponded, dosage vari, who's inside parliament in just a few moments. but 1st his, her report the morning after the remnants of what's taking place here. this is the area outside iraq's parliament building. now home to demonstrators for the foreseeable future, they come and go under the watchful eye of security personnel belonging to the man they follow. she a leader, mother of sutter ah,

known as southerners. they're fed up with the political system. they have come from all over the country. 27 year old ali arrived in baghdad on wednesday and took part in the 1st storming of this building. the odd to say that god looks at the saga. you promised me to those southern to stay here as long as it takes we reject the government and want the core petitions to be punished, including former prime minister maria molecule. we are waiting for orders from our leader said what for the souther was leadership represents reform and let me know what the law jawad could whom who jamie is a cleric from that jeff. he's also been in the capital since wednesday. he teaches in one of the seminaries in the holy city, belonging to this other family and says he's helping me, federal sutter fulfill his wish for a better iraq, a good out here. what let me, this is what we want a united iraqi government. we want to achieve one solid iraqi government. we don't

need anything other than that. we're staying here because of demands that were presented by the representative of the iraqi people. so i had looked at our solder little so these protestors are making themselves comfortable worried if they leave m p 's could hold an unannounced session to approve the candidate nominated by the rom back group. well, how much i also donnie. those us with us now live from in i that parliament building in baghdad. what's happening there now, dawson hall, adrian, as you can probably see in here, behind me, the crowds continue to be as loud as ever. and i think the most important thing that has happened since these demonstrators ends in this building nearly 48 hours ago, is that their leader and most other else other have we are obviously having problems with her. the signal there from inside up iraq's

parliament will try to come back to dos a little later in the program. in the meantime, one of the, the triggers for the protest in baghdad is a rivalry between 2 of the countries leading sheer politicians, the former prime minister, l'oreal malachi, and the populace leader mac tada asada. now in october, sawdust coalition won the most seats in parliament that led to protests with molly key and others, calling the result illegitimate. in june, seller told more than 70 m. p. 's to resign. after a boy caught by malik, his block prevented his coalition, forming a government. and on the side of how tents things are leaked, audio recordings allegedly reveal that molly key insulted solder of ward of a war between the 2 rival sheer camps bri up front. tubby is sir a special adviser for the middle east, and north africa, the scent of humanitarian dialogue she ga, now live from a man. good savvy with us, maria. just how dangerous is this moment right now for iraq?

well, i will say most for optical and minerals crisis across the iraqi citizens as, as an intriguing because we haven't seen manager know the iraq history, some device among the sheer force, but they were never reaching a level of intensity. so when we see him on the dial and father mobilizing protesters under does look and so reform reality, what we see is also an interest. she has struggle happening between again and the molecule and she a group before a supremacy over this. she had political here. how involved is iran and what's going on in iraq right now? well, i think that the right, the question is the how involved are all the leisure is because it is true that iran is the major actor within iraq. she and politics is also true that in the

past years that we have seen an increasing number on the original 3 years from the goals and from the region neighbors of iraq, also engaging with iraq. she had and they think that there has been also on the over the past, the 9 months after the election, strong support for the other and it's allies, to really, for them is sort of the political law to push back. and rollback iran in place. and in iraq, so what we can expect now is that most likely iran will try to find the consensus. again, i'm old, is she a groups? and it's not what it's going to take to take the heat out of this situation. well, i think that as since the election of october and in more a peaceful solution to this is actually emily did for the rock. was

a consensus, i think. and, and i think that the finding any to she a consensus, really b a is only the only way for like to avoid violence. and i'm the violin between beef in groups and for restarting the legal process. okay. maria could still too many thanks. indeed for being with us, maria francesca, who's in amman, the chief of mammals military has extended a state of emergency for further 6 months. it's been in place since the june to deposed the government along san sushi in february last year. so she is in detention that has been charged with several offences on a touring group say that bullet 2000 people have been killed. and 15000 arrested and a crackdown on pro democracy protests since the coo, 900 i went out on their t. mom, we made up most efforts in discharging the state duties with might but internal and external terrorists and their conspirators are committed to the utter devastation

rather than the flourishing of democracy in myanmar and the legal committee. the parallel governments and terrorist organizations against the government, which was formed under the constitution commit various ways and means to distract the security, peace and stability of the nation. numbered on alzheimer's, tony chang reports now from bangkok to this point they have, for the most part, expressed the outrage of the, particularly the execution of 4 political prisoners. at the beginning of last week, malaysians foreign minister went as far as to say, that was an, a crime against humanity. he said that he had wanted to introduce the 5 point plan last year. but it hadn't been possible because of waves of coven waived 2 and 3, which had hit me on my very badly. he said that this year man was in the process of implementing that plan to the extent of it, to its own ability. and that seems to be a get as close, but i think anyone really looking at this objectively would say that ma'am,

certainly from a military perspective has gone no way toward implant implementing as he owns pounds. and i think s e n will be looking very bluntly how they respond. there may be countries within nancy, n like thailand that will try to reengage men. but i think the opposition coming from countries like the philippines, malaysia, indonesian singapore, will be very strong. now, either to isolate men, ma, completely from the grouping, or to take some, some more positive action against them to, to trying to, to get them to take this process a little more seriously. us how speak at nancy pelosi has arrived in singapore, the 1st salt on her tour of the region. she's visiting the lazy up south korea and japan to discuss trade. cobit 19 and climate change. it's unclear, the weather policy will include a stop anti one. singapore is prime minister, was called for stable us china relations. they jing as warn policy against visiting

the self governing island, which it claims as part of its territory. pillow, hidden, you know, google foot house speaker pelosi goes to taiwan. it will be a gross interference in china is internal affairs. it will seriously damage china sovereignty and territorial integrity and trample on the one china principal. seriously threatened the peace and stability of the taiwan strait and, and seriously undermined sinner u. s. relations and lead to a very serious situation and very serious consequences. yandell, let's get more from out. there is florence louis who's in kuala lumper, a stern warning there from the chinese florence. we any clear about where the policy is gonna go ahead with her visit to taiwan. and if she does, what's china likely to do as i will have the later statement regarding her itinerary for the to a photo of asia made no mention of taiwan. but some taiwanese official tom sometime when he's reported our reporting that she is very likely to arrive in taipei on tuesday night. that would be just after have visit to malaysia. and just before she

travels on what to south korea and japan. now the reason why this visit is, if she does indeed visit taiwan, this will be very controversial because china regards visits by u. s. officials to taiwan as a signal to the pro independence camp on the high one island. and china, as you know, regardless taiwan as a breakaway province to be taken back by force if necessary. and nancy pelosi isn't just any u, as politician. she's an important figure and you as politics because she's 3rd in the line of succession to the u. s. presidency, she's also someone who has a longstanding history of an outspoken critic of the chinese communist parties, human rights record. now, if she does go ahead with a visit to taiwan, she won't be the 1st us house because to do so. newt gingrich visited 25 years ago, but the circumstances are very different. non political commentators say china is, you know, it's different because china is the 2nd largest and 2nd largest economy in the

world. it's asserting itself on the wall stage and politically and china. things also very different shooting, paying has ruled in of quite a has become more to tell a tarion in his rule. he is a very strong leader in china and he's made no secret of the fact that he sees reunification with taiwan as one of his priorities. now, the biden administration has tried to mollify china to say, you know, that if this visit goes ahead, it should not, it does not signal any change in us policy and that the 2 countries should not come to blows. the 2 leaders discuss this in a phone conversation last week, but that does not appear to have been enough to pick a china, as we've heard. chinese officials say the, if the visit does go ahead, the chinese military will not sit idly by now just what some of those response, just what response we can expect china to to meet out to issue. we're not sure yet, but some analysts have said that they could be a military component to it. chinese military could run maneuvers in taiwan strait.

perhaps chinese therefore jets might want to escort pelosi plane to show that there to demonstrate that china has control over force who routes. those are some of the things that we might see, but that's not clear yet. what we do know is that this is a, but if the visit goes ahead, it's very controversial and it comes at a time when ties between the 2 countries. you as in china, off worsening algebra, florence louis reporting live that from quite a long time, florence many thanks and teach. we'll get a weather update next here on that. he's out. then we'll take a look at why it's getting more and more expensive for young americans to keep a roof over their heads. in for that one, the championship meter continues his dominance by winning the hungarian room, free the details coming up. ah

hell i we will see tempt, just building once again across western parts of europe, some parts of western europe. we have got cloud and rain coming in across the northwest island in the u. k saying some bits and pieces of wet weather useful, frightful, much needed rifle coming in it down towards the southwest weekday with some right here. temperatures will pick up once again a cold parts of spain and portugal. cool enough and wet enough steel across eastern parts. so few, we could see a little bit of localized flooding the system just makes his way across the baltic states. you see that wet weather just runs right down toward c black c 30 celsius there in cave. on mondays we go on into work tuesday. still plenty of walk around. when the y sherry ran across at eastern side of your fish, i was to just around the outs, push it down towards austria, croatia, cassie a shower or to the possibility of one or 2 showers that into spain and portugal. temperatures will just ease off for lease been at 29 celsius on tuesday,

based paces the re making the way across the northwest. not too much, not as much as we like to see for the south east of england. patty of re. meanwhile, co central parts of africa as easily waste pulsing, some big downpours across chad into a good part of news, yet, easing right. the way across west africa into cynical ah ah ah,

safer than he'd been humming then international anti corruption excellence award boat. now for your hero, lou ah, it's good to have you with us. hello, adrian finnegan, here in del, how with the news off from al jazeera, the headlines, the 1st ship carrying ukrainian grain has left the port of odessa under an it's

national deal signed last month. the resonate is a sierra leone flag vessel carrying more than $26000.00 tons of coal. the sheer leader mocked outside as calling on all the rockies to join protest his camp inside parliament. a rival militia group as cool for a counter protest against what it calls a suspicious cood, a mere mas john to has extended the state of emergency for 6 months. it's been in place since the military deposed the government of santucci in february 2021. so she is, john is in detention charged with the several offences by jerry a says that it's destroyed more than $1500.00 illegal oil refining sites and a renewed campaign to clamp down on crude theft. it's lost more than $3000000000.00 in a year. with more losses projected in 2022. i was 0 as i would address joint security forces. as they hunted down the oil thieves in the niger delta in there,

or land and at sea, the nigerian military use under strict orders to end the plundering of the countries oil. when security forces returned to the side, they destroyed 5 weeks earlier. they encountered oil thieves as crews chased them. the bundles ran towards their boats. hidden in the creeks. one is captured. in terms of crushing this ellie della to find insights, we have crushed thousands of them. as you are destroying one side before you get to the auto and, and what ellen is bringing up again. this pipeline is one of the most frequently vandalized in the country. it delivers half a 1000000 barrels of oil a day to an export terminal. but for the past 5 months, not a drop was delivered as the operator shell was forced to shut it down. we've

had dish and where, when we're going to quicken camps august comes like this. they've set fire to the camps, you know, and dean gene was and am i equipment most of the stolen cold is fair, which olaja vessels at sea by barges like these, which are usually hard to apprehend. flying over the creeks, the devastation caused by all bunkering is massive. hidden under 3 copies, the old thieves are putting finishing touches to this facility capable of refining tens of thousands of gallons a day. and instead of using firewood, then now steal gas to distill the cold, military come on to say that a 100 of these illegal distilleries scattered across the oil, producing delta in addition to bleeding the economy dry. the operations also damaged the environment because they are not properly equipped to process crude oil

. the blunder of nigeria oil has left the country unable to meet or pick quarter activities that are going on as i speak to you now. as so much collaboration were with the communities to make sure that there was a woman to protect protecting his assets. the company looks up to the renewed clamp down to return to profitability. but with all thieves continuously changing their tactics. it could be a long while before that will happen. how many degrees al jazeera in nigeria is all producing? delta? no, a brenda is an executive editor with energy intelligency. john just now live from london. good, heavy with us, sir. no, all 50 is nothing new in nigeria, is it? no, i mean this is a problem that's gone on for, for decades. and really on the since the advantage you will industry there and it's been, you know, it's persistent through through administrations and across government. so it's very difficult to, to eradicate who is buying this oil and shouldn't any efforts to actually stop the

theft of the oil stop with the people who are buying stolen goods sir, i mean, i think, as your report pointed out, there are, you know, a number of different outlets for this, i mean sometimes it's being bought within country and put into the legal oil refineries, which are that product has been sold either within nigeria or outside of the country. i mean, nigeria is a country that well being very rich in oil does not have enough refining capacity. it's refining sector is, is under invested in and it imports many of the gasoline, much of the gasoline and diesel that it needs. so that's one outlet, and then there is also some of it does find its way probably into the global oil market or into refineries and other parts of africa. but i mean it's, it's very, very difficult to trace kind of the various flows of the solicit oil through the economy. no siphoning oil from a pipeline is, is one form of theft,

a relatively straightforward form of theft, but refining crude oil is another thing entirely. i mean, that's a complicated and expensive thing to do. who's putting up the money to refine this oil? well, i mean, as we've seen there, there are any number of very small scale refineries throughout the country. i mean, these are often tied in to, to broader enterprises and this is a very, very complex and also kind of a very well entrenched set of interests. and this money does flow back through the economy. it flows back into political campaigns, it flows back through, you know, through, through various other groups within the country. and so, as i said, i mean, that's a very complicated but also as you pointed out, very, very lucrative. and so, you know, we're, there's quite a bit of mind to be made. there's obviously going to be a lot of interests that are, that are trying to align to grab a piece of that. you alluded to just a minute or 2 ago, how do you think nigeria should put a stop to this?

well, i mean, this is certainly, i guess 1st i would say this is an incredibly important issue. nigeria was losing by our estimates as much as 5000000000 dollars this year with the price of oil at $90.00. now the price of oil is well above $19.00. so this is an incredibly important fiscal issue, but it's also one from, from a standpoint of, of having a working oil industry. you know, as we heard earlier in the report, shell had all kinds of problems with oil theft is actually looking at selling some of its assets in the country because they simply can no longer deal with can no longer kind of tolerate the amount of stuff that's going on, and so how you actually stop this and certainly destroying the physical infrastructure that, that's located with this. but i mean, it also comes down to having an oil industry that's managed in such a way so that, so that, you know, there is a flow of refined products from the country. there is, you know, that things simply do function on

a fiscal basis. so it's an incredibly complicated problem that doesn't simply have one kind of silver bullet answer about russian thinking that is still just oil, which will be about here this, this impacts gas production to well, and that's one thing that i think is really under appreciated. i mean, they mentioned siphoning off of gas to, to help or find the oil, but it's also the natural gas that, that nigeria exports oftentimes comes up with the oil. and so when you shut in oil flows, you also are losing this natural gas production. and this is at a time when we're seeing l n g prices, prices for liquefied natural gas in europe at all time highs. and so, you know, that gas would also have a market and also contributes to this loss of revenue. so incredibly, incredibly important problem, really good to to know, but thanks to you for being with us. know, brenda, that atlanta well, the 2000 people in northern california have been forced from their homes by

a massive wildfire. the mckinney file is the biggest in the state this year, and it's forced the governor to declare of emergency firefighters are concentrating on getting people out safely. rather than fighting the blaze itself out 0 is mike hannah reports it's called the mckinney fire. it started on friday, grew from one to 160 square kilometers in 24 hours and is now covering well over 200 square kilometers and continuing to spread. a mandate, korea estimation order was issued and estimated. 2000 people lift their home saturday and another 500 had been evacuated in the course of sunday. many, leaving behind their possessions like this, 81 year old. my house has gone all my furniture, all my clothes, shoes, house. everything's gone. some decided to leave before the men day, 3 evacuation and managed to save some of their belongings. yeah,

we got out before the fires, actually there was a red flag to get out of it. we don't want to be there to when they do, take it out, have 15 minutes to get out and figure out all those packed every to goes to get out there. soon as possible. the swirling winds made the course of the fire impossible to predict me from any angle at this point. it's just a matter of where the wind take it. over 60 hikers who are on the popular pacific chris trail were safely rescued. they had about 20 feet of visibility on the trail at the time that they chose to call in and try to get some help. the mckinney fires by far the largest, but across the west of the united states, small fires are flaring up, erratic with a threatening to bring dry thunderstorms with dangerous lightning, but little to no actual rain. and above all, the soaring heat is creating the ideal conditions for fires to start and spread
