hottest ever september day on the planet. the temperature reached 53 degrees of the town of furnace creek on thursday is a past the previous september record of 52.2 degrees. death valley in the mojave desert is one of the hottest places in the world. it recorded the earth's highest temperature in 1913 reco break in temperatures have been a feature of this summer. the u. s. and parts of the country are enduring. another heat wave or the 45000000 people are under heat alerts and 7 states where temperatures are expected to range from 37 to 40. 3 degrees celsius. wildfires raging in southern california which is bracing for the longest and most intense heat wave of the year because of a heat dome as a high pressure system in the sky that traps heat below it like keeping a lid on a pot. this heat wave is especially dangerous because it is expected to linger over much of california into next week, and temperatures won't drop much at night. that can be deadly days from the

conditioning in the past, but our climate is now warm and it's a warm period intersecting with the school year. and so we need to make infrastructural upgrade. we also see he kills more people on average than any other type of claimant related to doctor in the united states in any given year. and that's particularly troublesome because more teeth are preventable. if you get people the water shade, the rest, the cooling, that they need to stay healthy, we can prevent those deaths. so we are seeing very clear ways that we can improve our resilience to heat across the us. and hopefully also across the world. hundreds of people in liberia as capital protested against the government. my business, the opposition and civil society activists are rallied against what they describe as an demik corruption. and president george, where's administration? because hawk reports monrovia, i go in liberia,
