are in the danger zone. private boats have joined the greek coast guard, picking people up from beaches on the east of the island. the fires have been burning for five days now. the country's deputy fire chief says the blazes in rhodes are the most difficult greece is facing. azadeh moshiri reports from athens. they came for blue skies, but met orange haze. tourists have played the resorts as fires engulfed parts of rhodes. we are told by — engulfed parts of rhodes. - are told by police to evacuate the building because the air was unreadable. it turned bright orange and black above our heads from the hotel so we left immediately. we our heads from the hotel so we left immediately.— our heads from the hotel so we left immediately. we are one of the lucky ones. _ left immediately. we are one of the lucky ones. we _ left immediately. we are one of the lucky ones. we managed i left immediately. we are one of the lucky ones. we managed to | the lucky ones. we managed to net on the lucky ones. we managed to get on the _ the lucky ones. we managed to get on the authority _ the lucky ones. we managed to get on the authority boat - the lucky ones. we managed to get on the authority boat and i get on the authority boat and this is— get on the authority boat and this is what we are living behind _ this is what we are living behind. that is the beach. thousands were evacuated by land and sea as buildings were consumed by flames in the

evacuate but then there are people like the locals behind me, coming here forthe people like the locals behind me, coming here for the golden hour of the beach to escape the heat. but this is the high season in greece and some tourists are finding they are not getting everything they are expecting. temperatures are set to break records. forecasters say this could become the hottestjuly in 50 years. these extreme weather conditions mean the threat of wildfires is not over. firefighters are on high alert. when asked by the bbc weather sunday would bring better news for the island, and the country, the fire service had a simple answer, no, it will be worse. azadeh moshiri, bbc news. live now to simon lockton, who's on holiday in rhodes with his son and daughter. hello there, quite a holiday

horizon, really, which is mazy ten kilometres from our hotel. and then, yesterday morning, we awoke to lots of ash. no—one seemed to know what they were doing or what we should be doing. until it came to a head about lunchtime and we were told to evacuate to the beach, which we did so, we left everything behind, so we have the clothes that we are standing in. we were collected from the beach about an hour later and taken to a hotel and fed and watered, and then moved again, we moved probably another ten miles south, and

thrown out for harassing women. around 1,000 penguins have washed up dead on the coast of uruguay in the past 10 days. officials say the juveniles died in the atlantic ocean and that the cause remains a mystery. environmental groups have blamed a rise in penguin deaths on illegalfishing and overfishing. a mass march by thousands of israeli protesters has reached the parliament injerusalem, where lawmakers are due to pass the first bill in the government's planned overhaul of the judiciary. tens of thousands of people have joined the march since it set off from tel aviv earlier this week. they plan to set up tents at the knesset as they stage a last ditch effort to try to prevent or delay the final votes on a bill that would curb the supreme court's ability to void decisions by the government that it deems unreasonable. here's what some of those protesting had to say.

i am here because the extremists are trying to change our regime. they got into power and they are trying to make us a weak democracy. half the people say they don't want the rules they are passing and they are just ignoring us. we are here to show our voice and to do we can. to fight this. meanwhile, the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, has said he's been fitted with a pacemaker overnight. in a video on social media, mr netanyahu said he'd been living with a heart monitor for the past week, and when that device had beeped on saturday, it had been decided to implant a pacemaker. he expects to be released from hospital on monday in time to vote on his controversial judicial reforms. voters in cambodia are going the polls today

in a general election. with the main opposition party banned, prime minister hun sen is almost certain to extend his 38 years in office. he cast his vote earlier and he recently said he was ready for a transfer of power, signalling that his successor could be his eldest son, hun manet. live now to our southeast asia correspondent, jonathan head who's outside a polling station in kandal province near the capital, phnom penh. i the people behind you and voting has begun?- i the people behind you and voting has begun? voting has been going — voting has begun? voting has been going on _ voting has begun? voting has been going on for— voting has begun? voting has been going on for a _ voting has begun? voting has been going on for a few - voting has begun? voting hasj been going on for a few hours and a lot of people turning up but not the same kind of atmosphere we have seen in some previous cambodian elections. everyone knows the outcome of this is a foregone conclusion and there are 17 smaller parties that are in theory challenging the really party, the cambodian people's party, but they are so tiny they do not have a hope of challenging

macro hold on power and they will be lucky if they get a seat or two. the cpp, the cambodian people's party have or 125 seats and they banned all opposition in the last upon vision selection and although hun sen is keen to have a big turnout and they passed new laws to penalise anyone encouraging either applecart or people to spall the ballots because he needs that show, at least each of a good turn out to ensure that smooth hand over to ensure that smooth hand over to his son, hun manet. in that sense, it is a consequential election because this in a generation transfer of power in cambodia. generation transfer of power in cambodia-— cambodia. are cambodian is ha - cambodia. are cambodian is happy with _ cambodia. are cambodian is happy with the _ cambodia. are cambodian is happy with the idea - cambodia. are cambodian is happy with the idea that - cambodia. are cambodian is happy with the idea that the | happy with the idea that the country is basically becoming, or rather ruled by a dynasty regime? i or rather ruled by a dynasty re . ime? ~ or rather ruled by a dynasty reuime? ~' ,., regime? i think some will acce -t regime? i think some will accept it- _ regime? i think some will accept it. many _ regime? i think some will accept it. many are - regime? i think some will. accept it. many are unhappy. there are all thought of

reasons they are constrained for saying so out loud. the people are supported the opposition have been attacked, intimidated and beaten many opposition leaders are now in exile. everyone knows the price of opposing hun sen but in the past when we had freer elections, hun sen has come quite close to losing. he does not have an absolute iron grip on the country and his son, hun manet, 45 years old is completely untested in politics. so some lack of clarity about what really happens in cambodia. hun sen is one of the same record he has run on for a very long time, saying essentially brought peace in the country, i helped in civil war in the 1990s and i brought economic growth and all those things true and cambodians recognise that but half the voters are under 35 and many cannot remember the terrible khmer roush war in the 70s and 80s and many are unhappy with the cost of hun sen's model of growth involving huge corruption, massive

inequality and the number of luxury cars in a country that is poor is almost obscene and almost exploitation of the natural resources. many would like to see a change of direction and hun manet may try to push that but his party is beholden to many business interests that have done so well under hun sen so he may not be able to satisfy those aspirations for a kind of politics that we have not seen under hun sen's somewhat thuggish style of leadership. thank you. we will be getting the latest from jonathan throughout the day. day four of the women's world cup gets underway shortly with some of the tournament favourites in action today. sweden, who reached the semifinals in 2019 and are ranked third in the world, take on south africa, who are playing in their second world cup. the second match today sees 2019 finalists the netherlands take on portugal. and then it's france, who are hotly tipped

lower but they play with their hearts on the sleeve and you need to remember that, but in favour of sweden in this game is that they have actually met south africa before, a couple of times, in tournaments, especially in the olympics back in 2016 and even though it is a few years back and the women's game has developed a lot i think, they are going to take some parts from that when they go into this. some parts from that when they go into this-— go into this. that was going to be my next — go into this. that was going to be my next question _ go into this. that was going to be my next question actually. | be my next question actually. the state of the women's game in sweden and just how much support this world cup is getting in the country? same as all over the _ getting in the country? same as all over the world, _ getting in the country? same as all over the world, the - getting in the country? same as all over the world, the women'sj all over the world, the women's game is growing here as well. our domestic league has dropped in uefa rankings and obviously that shows but we have a good national team and we are going to see a lot of exciting things from sweden in the upcoming

years because we have a lot of young talent that aren't even in the squad at the moment so it is going to be very interesting to follow them from now on. but we usually say in sweden, like, you aren't a better is your last performance even though we're ranked third in the world, you know, it doesn't matter when you go into play a game like this. it is just about, you know, it is a number so it is going to be interesting to see if we can keep up in the top ten ranking. talking numbers, what is asofa today? what do you think? filth. today? what do you think? oh, that is always _ today? what do you think? oh, that is always hard _ today? what do you think?

postponed plans and increasing frustration. in west belfast, youth workers say vital services are falling behind. in the absence of politicians, budget cuts are being made by unelected officials. staff have been laid off and summer programmes called off. the im acts programmes called off. the impacts of _ programmes called off. the impacts of the _ programmes called off. the impacts of the cuts - programmes called off. tie: impacts of the cuts have been huge. to say to people we can't work with you today is awful. it is the most hurtful part of the job is to ten children and young people away. because to the outh young people away. because to the youth service, _ young people away. because to the youth service, the - young people away. because to the youth service, the cuts - young people away. because to the youth service, the cuts to l the youth service, the cuts to services, _ the youth service, the cuts to services, these cannot be reversed. people making the right— reversed. people making the right decisions, putting the phones _ right decisions, putting the phones and the access and the supporting the right places was a bit _ supporting the right places was a bit is — supporting the right places was a bit is not going to be good. so how— a bit is not going to be good. so how important you feel that it is that the devolved government does come back? thea;r government does come back? they have to get — government does come back? they have to get back— government does come back? they have to get back in. _ government does come back? tte: have to get back in. for all government does come back? tte1: have to get back in. for all of our sakes. have to get back in. for all of oursakes. notjust have to get back in. for all of our sakes. notjust go back to work but commit to the process, commit to fixing these issues. we want this place to work.

there are massive issues in the health service, too. northern ireland has the longest hospital waiting times in the uk by far. reforms have been planned but they are being held up. health workers say the lack of action is costing lives. what i am seeing is a service thatis what i am seeing is a service that is beyond broken, nurses and doctors are trying to keep it together and struggling. there is not enough of them. there is not enough of them. the system is antiquated, i would say, in terms of how it is run. that is unforgivable. and public patients with politics seems to be running short. —— patience. allah is nothing being done and budgets being cut now. you nothing being done and budgets being cut now.— being cut now. you have nurses and doctors. — being cut now. you have nurses and doctors, on _ being cut now. you have nurses and doctors, on strike, - being cut now. you have nurses and doctors, on strike, they - and doctors, on strike, they are — and doctors, on strike, they are overworked and underpaid. there _ are overworked and underpaid. there is— are overworked and underpaid. there isjust nothing being done — there isjust nothing being done about— there isjust nothing being done about it. _ there isjust nothing being

well, the weekend certainly started off on a soggy note. plenty of rain around. not that it made much difference for these surfers enjoying the waves coming in at newquay. mind you, there weren't many sun worshippers on the beach. it was pretty dismal, wasn't it? not much sunshine around at all. most of us, you had extensive outbreaks of rain around, although it was a different story across northern scotland, poking out in the sunshine here. actually, we had temperatures as high as 22 degrees in achnagart in highland scotland, and this beach in tiree kind of looked caribbean—esque in the sunshine. now, back to the wet weather story. we've got more of that rain to come over the next few hours, particularly for northern ireland. across northern england, the rain heavy. the rain easing off for a time over the next few hours for the south of england, southern parts of wales but there'll still be some patches of drizzle around, a bit of mist and fog, too. for the most part, it's not too cool but temperatures dipping down into single figures in scotland, but it is here where we'll start the day with a bit of sunshine. that rain band, then, still with us for sunday morning. the rain probably starting to fizzle off in northern ireland

but particularly wet across a swathe of northern england, where we're looking at around 20—30mm of rain. double that over the cumbrian fells, the north york moors and across the pennines could bring some localised surface water flooding. south of that rain band, brighter weather for southern wales, southern england, sunny spells and just a few showers. and with the winds coming up from a south—westerly direction, temperatures do get into the 20s, so it will feel quite pleasant in the sunshine. cooler air, though, for scotland. sunny spells, yes, but there will be some passing showers as well. on into monday's forecast. our area of low pressure that's brought us the wet weather through the weekend starts to clear off into the near continent but before it does do, we are looking at a bit of rain to start off the day, particularly across the midlands, east anglia, south—east england monday morning. that will clear away.

and then, it's a day of sunny spells and just a few showers, perhaps some longer spells of rainjust coming into the north—west of scotland, but overall, i think a slightly better kind of weather day. temperatures, though, still below average for the time of year with those north—westerly winds. fortuesday, more showers in the forecast. and then, the middle of the new week sees another area of low pressure. well, you know what that means — a lot more rain on the way. so, no sign of any prolonged, nice, settled sunny spells of weather. it's staying unsettled. showers around on tuesday. longer spells of rain later in the week.
