constitution and the senate is mostly appointed by the military. it's expected to be an uphill. so for him, i'm not really an easy task for him to get those extra votes from the house as well . now having said that, he says that he's confident and that morales so high among the annals of his age coalition members, that he will get enough votes to become prime minister. give us a sense of his background florence and particularly with some legal challenges that he's facing in relation to the shares he has in a media company of the that's right. so, you know, in, in a way it's the deck is stacked against any candidate who doesn't have the support of the military. um, any candidate wants to become prime minister because of the way the constitution is dropped at the peach on their own faces. additional legal challenges to is that to become the prime minister. now he is the party, he's the leader of the biggest party in parliament. but then now these legal

as far as the, as the on foreign ministers meet this week in chicago, there is no question about the most pressing issue. it is certainly the deteriorating situation in me and my, and it certainly becoming an increasing leech pressure environment for us and to come up with some sort of conducive solution. we know that your calendar is engaged in more than a 100 meeting, as we've heard from the innovation foreign minister trying to get to some sort of solution where at least that can be the process of, of talking about some sort of and to the violence. but what we have seen is growing frustration with the pace at which ozzy on has dealt with the crisis as violence continues to increase and me, and my thousands of civilians have been killed by violence by, by security forces. so there is growing frustration we heard earlier from the us state department before the secretary of state as a lincoln deposit of such a concept that he would also talk to as the leaders and encourage them to put more

pressure on the june to just dump the violence, but we have seen it's growing splish within all the on which is complicating efforts of even trying to come up with some sort of solution. we see that thailand appears to be trying to challenge its own talking, re engaging with the june to a pass that on the other young leaders have not necessarily agreed to what we're seeing while the situation in india and continues to deteriorate is also deterioration, conditions deteriorating, relations between all the all the on countries. and jessica, what meetings on the sidelines should we be keeping an eye on, particularly with the likes of lever of lincoln n one e o in chicago of the that certainly ride with, with all those high profile ministers in one to one city. there are certainly a lot of bilaterals to keep an eye on their, our foreign ministers from australia, from india, from a non number of countries outside of the us and block that a here this week for this week of diplomacy. but of course all eyes on one eve

the enemy use and type personal minds to take a long time after the victory at these 10 years for us to clear those mind. a lot of the equipment and supplies is donated. sure. maybe magic's also volunteers, the scar to, you know, the most difficult thing is that we have very short on time here. if there are in the critical state, seconds matter, it determines whether they live or die. the most shocking thing is when you have soldiers with no arms or legs, they ask, when will i be able to fight again for everyone involved, it's a risk task throwed, an arrow keys on a dead track through winding fields or the other routes, or with insights of russian forces and easily hit even those leaving the fields, hospice that have to be transported quickly so they don't come into fire. the hospital only moves location if the front lines move further away, but with intense fighting, taking pace and no real change. these magics expect just that you feel f casualties start vague. i'll just say to me about what the frontline,

u appeal to the military, claiming that he had been dismissed from his powers. for criticizing the ministry of defense and reporting problems in the army, he was the command of the, of 58th, a combined alms um, as you said, involved and they have a fighting. and the southern is a pearl ship from who was considered one of the most seen a generals participating in the russian ukrainian complex. according to proposed, he very harshly outlined all the appropriate modifications in the russian army. he said, he told the leadership about the absence of town to battery combat, my steps and the injuries of soldiers from b. u, korean alls, hillary, he focus quite on the most important property of more than a wolf. allegedly he proposed to re chased the russian units on the front line is some kind of rough channels also. right? that'd be head of the general stock delivery. garage them, of accused poles of alarm is on the block meeting,

available. uh, 10 of them channels also wrote that he could be in the middle school classes. uh, so our eviction uh commands of the space full size and deputy head of the general staff of the russian army has not appeared in public for 2 weeks since they as long a group on for 1000000000. and right now we have no decent information about his whereabouts. so obviously, all i can say now that's all those generals continue being um, a well continued support, the minute show pressure in ukraine, but none of them at the moment says anything about the, the end of the mental show peroration. all right, thanks so much. julia shepard, oliver, i in moscow for us in europe could say its highest temperature ever recorded this week. some parts of southern europe are registering temperatures in excess of $45.00 degrees celsius in greece. tourist sweltering in the haze is a line up to see attractions like the acropolis, and springing jones,

roughly as he joins us live from athens. john, i was going to ask you how hard it is for your inside and no doubt in a conditioning. what's been happening, where you, um, what an expert saying about this hate way. but at the moment it's about 37 degrees celsius here in athens. but the temperatures apparently going to climb as high as 39 or 40 today and well above 40. in the next couple of days, if you've ever been to athens, you know, have a concrete surgery like face just absorbs so the heat's during the day and how the buildings radiate heat in the later afternoon. it becomes quite difficult to stand up in, in temperatures above 40 degrees. so the municipality has opened up 7 spaces, like the one i'm standing in here in the central athens neighborhood where the air conditioning, as you said, is on it's mostly eligibility, excuse me, elderly people here, many of whom may not have air conditioning,

your home having coffee that time, in fact cameron, they're going to spend a large part of the day here, luxury postings, the time it serves 2 purposes. but this is just one of the most latest pharmacies undertaking the 6 cruise. i was on the streets picking up the homeless people, bringing them to the sensors. and there are also special working conditions. so municipal workers clean is rubbish collectors. i'm not going to be out today during $12.00 and 5 pm. uh, these are just some of the measures be implemented by some of the green political pharmacies. there is a lot more advice being given house to consumers of electricity, who i told so run energy intensive appliances between 2 o'clock and 6 o'clock, but not later in the day. mainly because 2 to 6 is when renewable energy sources are the most productive. and later on in the evening,

energy usage peaks. so people are discouraged from turning on cookers stoves, washing machines, and lions, and so on. so this is, this is, these are some of the preemptive measures being undertaking in athens today. all right, thanks so much john john. so rough list keeping cool in athens. some of hollywood biggest act is could be about to join a strike by script rises. the right is union has been on strike for nearly 3 months after concerns about the use of a technology at his fee that computer generated faces and voices could put the amount of work that union has given a thursday deadline for studio is to result the sound lights from reynolds has moved from won't just be studios input bank california, on the screen actors guild executive board will meet on thursday. they'll decide whether a strike will go ahead and then if they do,

if they do decide to strike all tv and movie production will immediately cease. and the actors, both big stars in big players, will go out and hit the pickup lines. what's at stake here is not only the usual labor management conflict, overpay and benefits. and in the case of actors royalties and a poor for past work, but also the looming prospect of artificial intelligence being used to manufacture the like this and voice and persona of famous actors. and then present them in computer generated films without their knowledge or their without their, at least without their control. and possibly without them getting paid for it. as far as of how long this may go on, nobody knows the studios and television streaming companies are likely to start recycling older material. you may see more on scripted,

a reality tv programs without professional actors or actresses. but eventually, the entertainment pipeline is going to run dry, and consumers and viewers are going to tired and start taking notice, rob reynolds, l, g 0, burbank, california. all right, that's it for me, emily anglin, inside story is next. the the color, the heat really is on across southern europe, temperatures on the rise over the next few days, getting into the hi. so this is the forty's for some parts of the south. so i don't know if it's a very different story. it's cool and it's blustery across the northwest this uh where the system here that will continue to make his wife or the race was. that's what we have to cool arrive in place and
