been moved to safety, as wildfires burn out of control. with most votes counted in spain's general election — the make up of the new government still isn't clear. as anger grows in manipur over a sexual assault case, there's been more accounts of atrocities. brazil, italy and tournament debutants morocco are among those in action later at the women's world cup. welcome to the programme. we begin in greece where the island of rhodes is under a state of emergency. firefighters are battling wildfires

raging across the island. 19,000 people have been moved from homes and hotels. first the fires — these are the latest pictures which show the flames lighting up the night sky as they burn out of control and these are pictures of what those flames have done entire hotels have been burned to the ground. this is what happened to some residents of those hotels, who spent the night in temporary accommodation after being evacuated. this report from jenny hill in rhodes. unrelenting, unabated. strong winds have whipped up the wildfires. despite efforts to contain them, they're still blazing on three fronts. that's forced this country's largest ever fire evacuation. please, please, this way. 19,000 people have fled

their homes and hotels. it's not the way emily thought her wedding party would end. horrible. it's just like, the sky was just black. and then it was just like just getting rained on with ash and all sorts. and then, yeah, it was just not nice. we've had to come home a week early. you could literally see the fire and it was really scary. at rhodes airport, some wait forflights home. others just didn't know where else to go. everyone is exhausted. so we got what we could. just pinched... passports, electronics. left everything else. go down and everybody onto the beach and theyjust tell you to walk and walk and walk away. my husband wasn't very well, so we told these guys to just carry on, just go. so we had to leave them on the beach and we had to keep walking with the idea that if the fire came down to them, they'd pretty much get in the sea and hope for the best. holiday firms have now cancelled inbound passengerflights. instead, they'll send empty planes to bring people home.

even so, many tourists here told us they felt abandoned. as we filmed, the greek tourism minister arrived at the airport, keen to defend this country's vital industry. a small part of the island has been affected. - everything else operates very regularly. _ so, you know, at this point, i we just want to make sure that everybody is safe and that whoever needs to get back home can- get back home safely. tonight, though, many are bedding down where they can. all our belongings are still in the hotel, in the apartment. so it's a case of... but it's one of those things. people have lost their livelihoods, you know, their homes. terrible situation. so, yeah, it's those we feel really sorry for. it's now almost impossible to find accommodation on this island. hotels have either been evacuated or they're booked up. so people are having to come to emergency shelters like this one.

this is normally a basketball court. they reckon around 200 people will sleep here tonight. the lucky ones get mattresses. the rest are just on the floor. and it's extremely warm. it's going to be a very uncomfortable night. and an anxious one. those fires are still burning. now let's focus more on evacuations — here is our news reporter courtney bembridge. passenger saying are not getting enough information and many spending the nights and sports halls and other places like that. let's get some other perspective from tour companies and airlines that fly in jet2 said they will spend not be sending any torts there for the next week but will be sending empty planes to help people get home.

there have also been cancelled flights until wednesday. easyjet has said they are running as normal but are sending extra flights, to tomorrow and when the next day to try and help people home. and they have cancelled package holidays those including hotels in flights all in one. british airways in brain air saying flying as normal as have other airlines. so many airlines again operating as normal, as the tourism minister said there. expecting to continue their operations. another thing to show you is what happens to these passengers. waiting on the tarmac for around three hours before their flight took off. you can see them there fanning themselves with the in—flight safety instructions. we have had word that this flight, while it did take off, had to land in milan because the crew had timed out. so these people still not home. the destination was london. another

thing to show you is the amount of people in the airport waiting for flights. some may be waiting for some time for reasons we have outlined. we know the uk foreign office is sending a support team to help british nationals at the airport. some of the things they will be focusing on is getting people emergency documents, many people emergency documents, many people may have headed to the airport without those documents and unable to go back to hotels and resorts where they were staying to pick up luggage and passports and things like that. so that is also under way. this is an important thing to look at. these here are bread the fires are in these are the areas that have where people have been evacuated from. 19,000 people we be no have so far had to leave. that includes tourists and locals as well. we have seen images of hotels that have been damaged in this area. this is rhodes you can see the marketeer but i will also show you some pictures from another island.

this is just off of the coast of albania here and not far away from italy. it is also experiencing fires. we have had these images is shared on social media from people who are there. i can show you this video as well. where you can see smoke and fires burning in the distance. so we know that there has been a while fires on the mainland as well but certainly to islands tonight that are dealing with fires and many people trapped in the ensuing chaos as flights and hotels are closed and delayed. let's go to spain now, where conservatives win tight snap elections but fall short of overall majority — with most votes counted. the centre—right popular party are just ahead of the governing socialist party, but is falling short of forming their expected coalition with the far—right party vox. i'm joined now by sergi forcada, who is in madrid.

we set i know it is rather noisy where you are, but i understand the prime minister pedro sanchez has been speaking, tell us what he said. prime minister pedro sanchez has spoken, we are also expecting the other candidate, alberto nunez feijoo from the conservative party here just in a few minutes. but what prime minister has said is that his elections are actually a victory for the left. for the left as a whole, not specifically for his party, the socialist party, has come sucked into on the selection but it is true that the conservative party, despite winning has fallen short of a majority. even if you include the vote from the far—right party, vox. so it is clear that alberto nunez feijoo will struggle to form a government. 0n the other hand, pedro sanchez still has a chance, but it

is very, very complicated. this he will need to get the support of all of the parties in the left, plus also the catalan and basque nationalists of today it is a bittersweet victory for the conservative party, lots of support here behind me celebrating. but a bittersweet victory because possibly they cannot make a government. we are showing pictures showing our viewers of alberto nunez feijoo, the leader of the popular party. i guess there will be a long negotiation that will take place. when can we find out who is actually going to lead to the country? figs find out who is actually going to lead to the country? $5 i find out who is actually going to lead to the country?— find out who is actually going to lead to the country? as i said, it is unclear— lead to the country? as i said, it is unclear who _ lead to the country? as i said, it is unclear who will _ lead to the country? as i said, it is unclear who will be _ lead to the country? as i said, it is unclear who will be the - lead to the country? as i said, it is unclear who will be the next l is unclear who will be the next prime minister, alberto nunez feijoo speaking rate not here to supporters at the conservative party headquarters, hejust said at the conservative party headquarters, he just said that his party, is the largest party in the

new parliament and therefore they have won the election. as i have said, that does not mean he is going to be the next prime minister. it is all down to negotiations in agreement. that meeting takes weeks or even months or even the worst scenario, new elections.— or even months or even the worst scenario, new elections. thank you so much for — scenario, new elections. thank you so much forjoining _ scenario, new elections. thank you so much forjoining us _ scenario, new elections. thank you so much forjoining us and - scenario, new elections. thank you so much forjoining us and let's - so much forjoining us and let's bring in... i'm joined now by caroline gray, lecturer in politics and international relations at the aston university in birmingham. thank you so much forjoining us. do you agree with the prime minister's statement that the far right has been defeated in the selection? certainly the far right has the client a lot and have lost a lot of seats compared to the last elections in 2019. 0bviously, seats compared to the last elections in 2019. obviously, the hope by the far right that they would be able to support and enter into coalition with the conservatives, the tt to form a government because they have

not reached a majority so unlikely. and there are no other options for the people's party other than vox but they would meet the support of the whole array of other left—wing and regionally —based parties. it looks very difficult that they would achieve that. is looks very difficult that they would achieve that.— achieve that. is there a possibility that they have _ achieve that. is there a possibility that they have to _ achieve that. is there a possibility that they have to hold _ achieve that. is there a possibility that they have to hold another- that they have to hold another election? , . , that they have to hold another election? , ., , , ., election? yes, a very strong possibility- _ election? yes, a very strong possibility. currently - election? yes, a very strong possibility. currently in - election? yes, a very strong | possibility. currently in spain there is a government to date has been socialist party government in coalition with a radical left force and they have been a minority coalition supported by a whole range of regionally based parties. this could happen again, but it is actually even harder this time around. and that they would need the support of more regionally based parties than before. in fact, for the socialist and the radical left

coalition to govern they would need the support of various parties including the catalan nationalist party that led the failed independence bid a few years back as that would be a very difficult government to form and i think we are very likely to see struggles for government, for any government to form and we could well see new elections later in the year. you mention nationalism, - elections later in the year. you mention nationalism, but there were a lot of other topics on the agenda, lgbt, gender issues like left—wing government, new laws on transgender rights, but also on a lot of voters minds was the economy and very high jobless figures. the minds was the economy and very high jobless figures-— jobless figures. the socials have actually done — jobless figures. the socials have actually done quite _ jobless figures. the socials have actually done quite well - jobless figures. the socials have actually done quite well in - jobless figures. the socials have - actually done quite well in economic terms. even though unemployment is high in spain, it sucks not as high as traditionally it has been. spain has long had a high unemployment figures. so i think actually the socials have been doing quite well with the economy, the economic

measures that have brought in. inflation is not as high in spain as elsewhere in europe. i think the socials have been able to campaign quite well on that. actually the socialists have not fair worse than before they have gained a couple of seats compared to before. it is more change those that have happened in other parties that are affecting the result in the outcome of the possibilities of different coalitions.— possibilities of different coalitions. ., ., ., ., ~ coalitions. caroline grade, thank ou so we set around the world and across we set the uk, this is bbc news. this is bbc news. bbc news — bringing you different stories from across the uk. i first met erin last year when she was facing soaring energy bills and food prices at christmas. she cares for her teenage siblings after their mother died. she admits this year has been tougher than she expected, and she's now worried about how she'll afford the six—week summer holiday. i would have loved to go on holiday with them. me and the kids have actually never been abroad and that would have been amazing for us,

to go somewhere on a holiday and just do something as a family. there is some help available. the government's putting £200 million into its holiday activities and food programme for low income families. but the advice for anyone on a tight budget this summer is to do your homework. just be mindful of what's happening free in your area, using the local transport offers of children travel free, using the kids eat free schemes and using green spaces a lot more. go out with your friends and families and picnics. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. to india now. graphic accounts are emerging of further atrocities in the indian state of manipur during an outbreak of ethnic violence. several other incidents have now come to light. internet restrictions have slowed the release of information. there's already been pain and anger over a video showing two women

being paraded naked and assaulted by a mob. 0ur reporter divya arya has more from manipur. shops are shut in this part of manipur�*s capital city imphal because another violent incident was reported here. this road leads to the airport, so you do see some vehicles going from here. but mostly residents in this area are staying indoors, stepping out only if they need some essentials. now, what really strikes you when you come to manipur is that the city and the state has seen no internet for more than two and a half months now. so while some areas might be returning to normalcy, it is really hard to communicate and resume normal life. and despite the fact that there is no internet, when we travelled around the state, we found that the video that shows two women being disrobed, paraded naked and then sexually assaulted was still being shared widely. and people would just take out their phones and show that video to us. it has fuelled more anger, despair and discontent amongst both communities.

thousands are still displaced and in relief camps, unable to go back to their homes after they were set on fire in the violence that happened in the month of may. while there have been arrests after the video came out and there has been condemnation from both communities, especially spearheaded by women, everybody has been pointing out that the state government and the central government hasn't done enough, that the prime minister has spoken, but spoken too little and too late. until there is a concerted effort to find a political resolution to the dispute, sporadic incidents of violence can continue. we've heard of reports of fighting across the border overnight. curfew is clamped every evening and it will be very difficult for people to go back from relief camps and even think of rebuilding their lives. i'm joined now byjagannath panda, from the institute for security & development policy, a nonprofit and nonpartisan research and policy organisation.

thank you so much forjoining us. if i may, firstly, what did you make of the response of state authorities. there has been quite a lot of criticism. there has been quite a lot of criticism-— there has been quite a lot of criticism. , . _ ,_ criticism. let me start by saying that the images _ criticism. let me start by saying that the images you _ criticism. let me start by saying that the images you are - criticism. let me start by saying | that the images you are showing criticism. let me start by saying - that the images you are showing are clearly disturbing and this is not really and we should condemn it. but i think the response of the local administration has been quite strong. instead of really trying to address the situation i think it is the ethnic violence conflict there has been for the last 2—3 months in the local government should have shown a lot of and that has not really happen. and that is why i

would say that this is a negligence on the part of the local administration and particularly of the police and those responsible who to address the situation. what the police and those responsible who to address the situation.— to address the situation. what about prime minister _ to address the situation. what about prime minister modi _ to address the situation. what about prime minister modi condemnation, | prime minister modi condemnation, that he go far enough? i prime minister modi condemnation, that he go far enough?— that he go far enough? i don't think it is wise to — that he go far enough? i don't think it is wise to link _ that he go far enough? i don't think it is wise to link it _ that he go far enough? i don't think it is wise to link it with _ that he go far enough? i don't think it is wise to link it with central - it is wise to link it with central leadership. if we look at india, almost every state has a unique ethnic congregation and in every state what we have seen since the post independence of india over the last 70 years ethnic violence has been a common feature of state politics. so i don't think the central leadership has to be brought here in terms of trying to link it. and i think prime minister modi has already reacted to the situation. as positive sign because we have seen modi has not really spoken to the

media and public on these kinds of minders since he came into power 2014. this is one of the occasions where he has spoken. figs 2014. this is one of the occasions where he has spoken.— where he has spoken. as you say state police _ where he has spoken. as you say state police have _ where he has spoken. as you say state police have been _ where he has spoken. as you say state police have been accused i where he has spoken. as you say| state police have been accused of not doing enough to help victims. they say they were outnumbered. what is stopping them from asking for more support from the central government? i more support from the central government?— more support from the central covernment? ~ , ., ., , government? i think it is not only about the state _ government? i think it is not only about the state government. - government? i think it is not only about the state government. i - government? i think it is not only i about the state government. i think is about the coordination and the response pattern and how to build the situation. here the situation is tense. if you look at the root cause of what was behind this ethnic violence, the cause has been about upholding status. when the local asked the state government to consider offering the tribes the

community is the between the meitei communities and the micro communities. so —— kuki so the state government should have played a strong role with the building and bridging the gap and also trying to establish peace even knowing the fact that it was there for the last 2-3 fact that it was there for the last 2—3 months that the situation was unfolding. so for that i would hold responsible for the local administration rather than trying to link it with central government of india. . ., link it with central government of india. . ~' ,, link it with central government of india. . ~ . link it with central government of india. . . ., ., india. thank you so much for “oining us. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. the israeli president is holding an emergency meeting with benjamin netanyahu at the hospital where the prime minister is recovering from an overnight operation to fit a pacemaker. it comes as thousands of israelis are continuing protests outside parliament,

where a debate is continuing on the government's planned overhaul of the judiciary. the number of people who've died in a landslide in india's western state of maharashtra has risen to 27. more than 50 are still missing. the landslide was triggered by monsoon rains. rescue teams are looking for survivors under the mounds of earth and rubble. local media say whole families have been killed. its a hundred days since fighting broke out between sudan's army and its paramilitary rival, the rapid support forces. the war has devastated the capital khartoum and displaced more than 3 million people. there's still no sign that either side is ready to negotiate peace. it's day 5 of the women's world cup down under. three more fascinating fixtures to look forward to today, including italy versus argentina

and also brazil taking on panama. let's speak to the bbc�*s katie silver, who is in sydney. let's start with france versus jamaica, what an amazing achievement from the caribbean nation. that’s from the caribbean nation. that's riaht from the caribbean nation. that's riuht it from the caribbean nation. that's riaht it is from the caribbean nation. that's right it is the _ from the caribbean nation. that's right it is the game _ from the caribbean nation. that's right it is the game that - from the caribbean nation. that'sj right it is the game that everyone is talking about. it fits with this trend that we have been seeing about some of the really big teams that people were expecting huge thrashing defeats are actually not often performing as well as we were expecting this are for example the us versus vietnam and england versus haiti and now france — jake mika i draw something no one was accepting. ——jamaica. we ran into the family of the jamaican coach in the fan zone and they mentioned just what they were predicting for the match and how it was anyone's game. we are here to suoport — and how it was anyone's game. we are here to suoport our— and how it was anyone's game. we are here to support our brother. _ and how it was anyone's game. we are here to support our brother. he - and how it was anyone's game. we are here to support our brother. he is - and how it was anyone's game. we are here to support our brother. he is a i here to support our brother. he is a good _ here to support our brother. he is a good man—

continues to affect parts of the mediterranean. and later on monday, we might actually see one of europe's highest ever temperatures — 48 celsius possible to the southwest of catania. now, the significance of that is the all—time european record currently stands at 48.8, so we'll be very, very close to that. on sunday, though, here in the uk, it was a very wet day across central portions of the uk. we have 91 millimetres of rainfall in preston, three—and—a—half inches — that's about a month's worth. these figures only go up to saturday, but even at that stage, there were a number of places that were getting close to double the july average rainfall. 0ur weather pattern, then, is a bit stuck at the moment, and it was this weather from the kind of rained off the cricket in greater manchester. the front itself is starting to push its way southwards, so the rain is going to eventually swing across wales, into the midlands and parts of east anglia, with the skies clearing behind. now for scotland, northern england, northern ireland, with those clearer skies, temperatures get down

into single figures, so it'll be quite chilly air. but underneath the front into the south, it's a relatively mild start to the day for monday. cloudy, though, with further rain — east anglia, south midlands selling hounds of england. the rain then pulls away to leave us with a day of sunny spells and showers. and, ok, the showers shouldn't last too long, there'll be large portions of the day that stay entirely dry. 0ur temperatures a little bit below average for the time of year, but still feeling 0k in thejuly sunshine. now, i think there should be a bit more of that sunshine to look forward to across england and wales, with not many showers here for tuesday. further north, though, for scotland and for northern ireland, there will be quite a few downpours developing through tuesday afternoon, so another fairly unsettled day. now, heading into wednesday and thursday, another area of low pressure will form in the atlantic and move towards our shores, so we have more rain on the cards. now wednesday, it might well be to the northeast of the uk that it stays largely dry with some sunshine. but certainly further west,

the cloud will gather,

this is bbc news. not least because of latin american scepticism about european military support for ukraine and its war against russian aggression. my guest today is gabriel boric.
