worst wildfires greases seen in a decade. moving quickly and taking many by surprise. several have died in their vehicles trying to flee. it's feared up to one hundred homes have been destroyed in the coastal town of ruffing are. hundreds of firefighters and the army have been dispatched but they're struggling to control the flames. but we have been a must if it is the me we must all be in a constant state of alert we must be unified and make an effort to face an exceptionally difficult situation for our country. to get the quarter greasers declared a state of emergency in several regions surrounding athens. strong winds in temperatures of up to forty degrees continue to stoke the flames in coastal towns residents and

holiday makers have been evacuated by boat some of feared missing at sea. is no yes due to the large expense the intensity and the danger is the fires pose the country has submitted a request through the european civil protection mechanism for international ground and assistance you can eat instead here spain is sending water carrying aircraft cyprus is dispatching fire crews they'll arrive too late for those who have already lost their lives and homes. more doctor days lie ahead as greece counts the cost of the wildfires. earlier we spoke to journalist george f. a couple us in athens and we asked him to update us on the situation. good morning it's a dramatic day after a very dramatic evening here in the greek of we don't we have woken up to the smell

of smoke with his eyes on the ground and on the cars about eight kilometers away from the spot where about fifty two people have been confirmed dead. which is just north of the us and of course the flames have no being contained to a great extent but their body count continues for people who have drowned in the sea their efforts to escape the flames and i think have been the worst source of all i tell you the. hundreds of people who have been rescued by the port authorities as they were trying to swim away from the. fire and. many people still and we feel as a body going around even higher. shores as you said is a very dramatic situation how did these fires get out of control so quickly. in the

building was that this fire. east over attica. region the people started about a couple of hours after another fire to the west of a car because i'm afraid it was underestimated so the fire services had flown. to the other fire which fortunately no life but this allowed this one near the airport to find foster and within a couple of rows in ghost large settlements led to huge destruction now how are residents where you are coping with this. where i am because we should shut and they fear for a change over the. again there has already been a change over when this morning how to contain the late part of but the

problem with her would be what will happen. when the blows were once again in the same group being less like that fund the fire. amazing way they mention firefighters are working very hard will help from the european union member states arrive in time to make a difference and i am afraid in our computers. three think a few days ago we can receive help from the. other european countries but because we're a forest fires where. the. gunfire really. has already taken place the only hope greece can now expect would be from. money power otherwise there is no way. we can undo the huge tragedy by journalists in georgia trying to couple us joining us on the line from athens said george thank

you very much. temperatures are wreaking havoc across europe including in sweden the government there is warning of an extreme risk of new forest fires as dozens of blazes continue to burn across the country the flames have already consumed two hundred fifty square kilometers several e.u. countries including france and germany and italy are helping sweden battle the blaze this. italy has agreed to accept migrants rescued at sea until the e.u. can decide on a strategy to accommodate them foreign minister enzo naisi made that announcement after talks with his german counterpart in berlin it is a reversal for italy's populist government which said last week it was closing its ports to migrants rescued at sea. analysts in the us a north korea has begun taking apart key facilities at a missile test site these satellite images reportedly show dismantling underway at these so hey satellite launch station north korean leader kim jong un had promised to dismantle the site of a summit with u.s. president trump in june. the german football association has hit back at

accusations of racism made by football star mazer the organization says it supports diversity and has worked on integration in germany for many years made the claim over the weekend when he also announced he would quit the german national team the midfielder has turkish roots and was pictured with turkey's president back in may he said he faced racism and disrespect from the public and the media in the aftermath following the team's disappointing world cup performance he was also criticised by the german football association. resignation from the german national side has also been hotly debated in his hometown of in western germany decades ago many turks migrated to the former industrial hub in search of work and it continues to be home to a large turkish community people there feel that decision highlights ongoing problems with integration in the country. this is where a young message often had to kick about a training ground in the german city against initiation. today an amateur team is

playing here but the resignation of the gemma national player is on everyone's mind . is new to get some for him it's a brave move by him but as i see it he's only criticized others without accepting that he might have made an error in my view of his mistake was not to have spoken out earlier. as i'm going off that's a small gone wrong to say it's over by resigning it's made things with integration even worse for a while i had the feeling that we were all coming together this is german turkish and spanish italian. it all began here at the club best folly as zero four as it was grandparents were coal miners who moved from the black sea coast to gals and. he was the first footballer of turkish descent to play for germany to wealth cup marco langer used to play football with ozil in his hometown. he was

a great introverted when we met his kids he was a very quiet boy always carrying a ball around always with his father near the pitch. an example to follow until recently ozil had been a proud poster boy for integration today many germans were turkish heritage can understand how one photo could change everything. by germany's own fans all because of a photo he also took a photo with article a medical it's his business takes a photo with or to one the scope of it's a catastrophe how bad things have gone and because of one photo for me it's try to use. turkish german or both integration research is from the essence center of the turkish studies say young people feel close to germany but also different from the norm migrant population they say germans and german politics struggle with people who don't want to commit to just one nationality. research alarm in a car door has called for a reasonable debate on identity she says the integration policy of the german

football association has failed. we have a real racism problem in germany it's not something we can say is exclusively on the far right racism has long existed at the center of this society. she says those who have the interests of both sides at heart have lost the winners of the debate nationalistic turks and the german far right. we have tom going away from good of you sports with us to tell us more about the story hi tom we heard there about the winners of the debate what about the losers where does this leave the german football. with a huge problem on its hands i mean in a somewhat banal terms the national team has a problem because they've just lost one of their most gifted players but of course this is about much more than that now sport. in general in football in particular just by virtue of his popularity it can really be a brilliant motive for integration it does build bridges between communities to

bring people together now that is of course something of a truism it's something that sport. and that's a good football very much likes to say of itself but in the best cases it can work in this case unfortunately it looks like a grave failure when you know it was the poster boy for sport as a motive for integration and the fact that his career in the national team has come to this rather and tragic and it's hard to spin as anything else than a great loss he said in a statement that he has two hearts beating for two countries is that a common phenomenon in football yes of course well i mean football is just a mirror of society really and of course that is also a common phenomenon in society and fortunately for european players of non european immigrant descent the treatment those who receive the hands of some politicians in germany at the hands of sections of the press seems to be something of a pattern now there was a statement or sentence rather in the statement where he said when things go well he's treated as german when they're not he's treated turkish romelu lukaku

a football player of congolese descent said basically exactly the same thing before the world cup started when things go well he street is bowed and when they don't he's the least dissent karim benzema or french player born to algerian parents said exactly the same thing when he scores he's french when he doesn't he's an arab you know this is a european phenomenon i suppose and you know germany unfortunately is not alone in this but what about the d.f.t. the german football association where do you think they went wrong because as well hasn't been the only critical voice no he hasn't philip baum the captain of the two thousand and fourteen world cup team has been very critical of iraq in lieu of call his room into one of the bosses a bomb unit has been critical of the day if the. perhaps. you know certainly was being viewed i think as the main mistake is a bit of a failure to have come to visit as it was defense now when. shortly after the world cup which of course this year went so terribly for germany or of the beholder the german team manager. under the veil basically of self-criticism aust him so what

mistakes he made in the planning and the execution of germany's world cup plans now he said he wondered what he could have done differently and what he decided was that he might not of picked them as opposed to in doing so he reignited the debate which by that point had already landed in terms of tone in the gutter. and for all of those mistakes and he has made some he has been a bit naïve he does have a right to feel like he was mistreated by the f b that was be a hole and that was one hundred two and they are going to have to face the consequences of their mistakes all right tom going away from database for thank you very much for bring us up to date on that debate. to pakistan now where journalists are facing an unprecedented crackdown by the country's powerful army that's a country gets ready to hold an election on wednesday the military wants to boost the chances of its favorite candidate former cricketer iran caught those who report on his main rival face intimidation and worse not only conrad and lean report from

lahore. in pakistan second largest city law whole election campaigning is in full swing but behind the scenes many fear strings are being pulled to favor one candidate in run code. his party p.t.i. is in a neck and neck race with the pakistani muslim league run by one of the country's most high profile politicians now what sharif sharif angered the country's powerful military with his attempts to improve relations with pakistan's archrival india and rein in the army support a visit mists earlier this month he was jailed on corruption charges. and now journalists like zari julio are bearing the brunt of the standoff those who dared to openly criticize the p.t.i. or appear to support now while sharif risk the wrath of the security agencies and the party of the talk about the pm alone if you speak for it in any way which you

are suppose really in a very balanced manner to speak for it there's going to be trouble brewing somewhere down the line previously like i said there were there were certain areas you can speak about but it was never about political parties not to dis extend you just kind of reporter the balance mother and here you're out there at it they're after you and this this is really startling to many of the editors but but but of carrying on some of us some of us are really really struggling. many of her colleagues have received intimidating calls and threats on social media and journalists know all too well which stories editors want to afraid to run but on the record few dared to point their finger. i don't think. well. i'll take the safest route out of this. the human rights international human

rights organizations and the local human rights organizations have repeatedly called out of the military for doing this and the military would mean the intelligence agencies that are associated with the military and. their feeling rights organizations and i'm quoting them i mean quoting them on those that defeated love too much power over the civil demat government the democratic government the democratic set up and the awful bill this power to get the you know we. thing that serves i don't want to speak more about those. just to be on the safe so in pakistan the generals have always pulled the political strings and dictated the red lines that journalists trust in peril but talk to human rights activists and they agree that the degree of meddling in this election is unprecedented they made clear their record up and deferring. each and every

election that has been held in pakistan to his part of. we wanted to confront the military with the accusations but our interview requests were turned down in the past the generals have denied any involvement in pakistani politics with the p.t.i. india. the outcome of the elections is far from certain. now in ukraine a new exhibit is open to highlight the country's battle against corruption the pop up interactive show was called corruption park it's been drawing in tens of thousands of visitors since it opened in june it comes amid mounting criticism that the ukrainian government isn't doing enough to crack down on graft. reports. a life of luxury which angie graft investigators brought to

a sudden and unexpected and this film is called the corrupt officials worst nightmare but up until now ukraine's bribe takers have for the most part been able to sleep easy in recent years no top level official has been jailed for corruption . the film is part of the corruption pocock submission which hopes to open visitors eyes to the scale of government corruption and how new law enforcement agencies are fighting it. is the brainchild of ukrainian anti-corruption activists with financial support from the u. most of the items were confiscated during real life corruption investigations. investigators found this stuffed full of bills buried in a prominent judge's garden this gold plated crystal eagle was a gift to a top official the price tag is forty thousand euros but the kitchen is the seriousness of the situation according to transparency international among european countries only russia is more corrupt than ukraine. beyond the eye catching

exhibits examples of real life investigations demonstrate how top level corruption works in practice and how it's most often hidden. but this is no conventional museum visitors are invited to use their imagination for example to find thousands of hectares of forest he didn't in this recreate of a bureaucrat study. sounds cryptic but the answer is surprisingly simple a passionate hunter one former government official simply transferred ownership of thirty thousand hectares of state owned forest to himself for use as a private hunting ground. but does this playful approach work with such a serious subject and can it really change perceptions it seems some visitors are rethinking their a behavior. the whole government system is set up in such a way that without bribes things get stuck you're forced to pay them if you want to

get things done in collusion that was up with anybody look at the i think there's a bit less corruption now but in daily life when you go to the doctor you give something it comes naturally it's in our blood. bush the first people's attitudes have to change people have to understand what corruption really is that it's bad and the fight to put an end to it starting with themselves. securing evidence during a raid thanks to virtual reality business can put themselves in the shoes of ukraine's new corruption investigators soon those investigators will be able to take their cases to a specialized anticorruption court creating a unique parallel system of justice dedicated to fighting graft but in the absence of high profile convictions the country is left waiting for results. ukrainian see corruption is the biggest single problem facing that country bigger even than the war in the east that's according to the polls but in the three decades since ukraine gained independence those responsible for making this one of the most

corrupt countries in europe have had very little to fear the hope is that that could not change but it's set to be anything but easy. for all the talk of transparency and accountability this exhibition is very short on names who was it that once owned this confiscated car for example the organizers prefer not to say even now the fear is that this soon as the fight against corruption britain's the interests of those very top government support for the reforms could evaporate. nikolay reporting there from ukraine are it time for business news with monica and monica is tesla having problems paying its bills well that is exactly the question that many investors are asking right now sumi because after it emerged that the american car builder had made an unusual request to its supplier it asked them for refunds on invoices it had already paid to help it turn a profit tesla shares fell more than three percent on the news the company has been

renewable energy sources thousands of wind turbines are spread across the country but they need to be replaced after. ten years and disposing of old wind turbines is a big problem not only are they deeply embedded in the ground but are getting rid of them greasers dangerous dust now a firm in germany has developed a way to recycle the rotor blades. these are sections of decommission turbines as a wind park in northern germany. a group of local environmentalists aren't satisfied too much of the base is still in the ground they want the whole thing to be removed. the concrete bases can be crushed and used in road construction. but the rotor blades contain cloth and carbon fibers. to burning them isn't a viable option. do you. think you've just on

toxic gases. and it's difficult to dispose of them. just clogs the filters will stop. carbon fibers conduct electricity and they cause short circuits and fires in the filters that's why incinerators either won't accept them or they charge exorbitant prices to dispose of them. of the thirty thousand turbines in germany a very large number are due to be decommissioned over the next few years and replaced by larger units. environmentally friendly disposal methods need to be developed before the weight of demolition gets under way. neo compas a company that recycles modern composite materials and there are plenty of them the . blast and carbon fiber reinforced plastic are used not only in brochures but also for example in airplane construction but what can you do with them once they're

scrapped. into cool. when used to cake there's no technology in the world that lets you separated back into eggs baking powder flour and milk. the same applies to these materials g.r.p. c.r.p. . their constituent parts are so tightly bound together that they can't really. be separated and include. the company has developed a procedure to tackle the problem it shreds the material the resulting stuff is light and easy to handle and while it can be burned as a substitute for fossil fuels in the manufacture of cement it can also be mixed with paper production residue and turned into granny less. that granulation can be used as a component of cement as a substitute for sound. so a lot of disused brochures could well turn up in the cement in the foundations of
