this is d. w. news coming to you live from berlin europe is hit by a record heat wave temperatures are pork to reach their highest ever in many countries over the next 2 days we talk to an expert about the danger of that extreme heat poses for our health and what you can do to keep cool. also coming up president trump's son in law tries to sell his new mideast peace plan at

a conference in bahrain he's calling it the opportunity of the century so why are the palestinians not buying. and at the women's world cup europe dominates the round of 16 in the last match the powerful japanese team pushes the netherlands to their limits it's the dutch the who will play the quarterfinals we'll hear from our world cup report. hello i'm terry martin thanks for joining us europe is being hit by an unprecedented heat wave temperatures are forecast to reach their highest level ever recorded in some countries today the extreme weather is expected to continue into the weekend governments have issued health warnings and are urging people to do everything they can to stay cool. cuts. keeping

cool in whatever way possible people and animals across continental europe are feeling the heat of unusually high temperatures. just drinking tried to go too far too slowly. drink drink drink a lot. of this hot sun we try and keep to the cooler places. we have been out looking at rome from 8 o'clock this morning but from midday on we're eating ice cream. it's very good we were able to. meteorologist say the soaring temperatures a jew to hot air blowing in from north africa but many also call this heat wave unprecedented. in france or thirty's are taking extra precautions to care for the most vulnerable. the

country is still scarred by the intense heat wave of 2003 in which almost 15000 people died. in the midst of the through this isn't stan mongering these heatwaves are going to keep happening as we know and perhaps they'll get worse in the years and decades to come because of climate change is asking everyone to take responsibility for themselves their family and their neighbors and to avoid a backlog in emergency rooms due to people taking unnecessary risks in the pews the history of. the haze was visible over paris on tuesday and pollution levels could rise further as the mercury crimes. in germany or thirty's in the state of brandenburg battling wildfires the area is a tinder box after prolonged hot and dry weather. amid

warnings across year at that midweek temperatures could break records staying cool remains top of the agenda. well for more on how to cope with the heat wave we're joined by professor hans question going up from the center for space medicine and extreme environments at the charlie to university hospital here in berlin thanks for being with us this morning professor and we're expecting temperatures of 40 degrees and more in some parts of europe that could be really uncomfortable but dangerous actually it's for healthy people it's really uncomfortable but expression only for people right so diseases like kaante resco diseases or c o p b a chronic obstructive 9 diseases they are really in danger of being hurt by this heat wave and for normal people you as you say if you're healthy all month earlier than all the other 40 degrees they mean temperature also fall for healthy people so

all people have to be conscious of boxers heat wave and they have to drink enough they have that's my suggestion that they should wait each other in the morning and in the afternoon salute to see how much fluid they have lost probably so it's the only way really to calculate whether you you have really dry rank enough during the day because otherwise it's you don't know really how much you are sweating on of these hot conditions that's a good temp so weigh yourself in the morning in the evening even me and then the difference that's the facts just. so keep your body fluid up how else can we keep our body temperature regulated under these extreme conditions that's affected the point we we can only use one of these heat conditions the evaporation the it up racial sweating from the skin because the usual saying what we do is really increased. blocked the fusion in the skin but this is not enough under this

condition so the schlepping is the main way to get rid of the heat because when you are sweating the sweat is evaporated and during this process being coming from really put to a gas it takes away heat from the body and that's why you have to keep expressionless your fruitbat. very close i'm so hydrate hydrate hydrate drink lots of water a lot too much but not too much that's why as well because it's very difficult for people to calculate have arrived right and off they should wait and then they see whether that's enough on ok scientists are telling us that the earth is warming up and that these extreme heat in events these these heat waves could become more common do you think the human organism is capable of adapting. that depends on the reason actually for the moment in the sub-saharan area for

example the temperature for months too high to really to work of that's why people are migrating at that region and if the this heat is more expanded to other regions of the people who migrate there when you look in germany in the coastal areas they have 26 ok's if you find but when you are going down to a bit of 5 oclock those germs fish or progress it's extremely that's at the at the edge for them on 10 just a final question any other you mention people who have a particular diseases or some sort of health complications already there are particularly at risk anyone else who should be together especially in search of them children and children please do not leave them in the car when you are just going outside and just for having a short look at the storage so it sometimes is only need 15 minutes or half an hour that extremely hot conditions inside so children and elderly people they are most.

vulnerable. good advice professor from berlin's shelley tay hospital thank you very much for being with us this morning thank you. u.s. president donald trump's son in law jared kush now has appealed to posting ians to support a plan he says will revive the economy and improve their lives the proposals presented at a meeting in bahrain involve investing billions of dollars in the palestinian territories part of a peace plan which has been dubbed the deal of the century but the palestinians have already rejected the plans as they do not include a political resolution to the conflict. these were the scenes across gaza and the west bank as the bahrain conference got underway thousands of palestinians protested and staged a general strike against a plan they say attempts to buy them off. thousands of miles

away in bahrain jerod cushion or called on the palestinians to accept his vision one he dubbed the opportunity of the century if they want peace he said the $50000000000.00 economic support plan would create a brighter future for the region. for a moment imagine a new reality in the middle east imagine a bustling commercial and tourist center and gaza and the west bank where international businesses come together and thrive imagine the west bank as a blossoming economy full of entrepreneurs engineers scientists and business leaders of the palestinian people but in the audience was no palestinian delegation they boycotted the meeting having rejected the plan from the start instead there were arab finance ministers and international business leaders the people the united states is soliciting to foot the bill questionnaire says his proposal could create

a 1000000 new jobs and slash unemployment helping to bring peace to the middle east . but the palestinians insist there can be no economic solution without a political one. we are here also to send a message that we will not be deceived by the so-called economy plan that it can be annoying going to mix solution as a substitute god freedom and 2nd how can we have economic development when we cannot control our borders our imports our exported our free market our freedom of movement i washington says the political portion of the plan will follow but until then palestinians say cush news proposal is meaningless here in the west bank palestinians burned an empty casket it reads deal of the century born dead. our correspondent oversell it is covering developments from washington he has more details on christian's proposals and how stony and objections jared kirshner's

plans come as a radical change for the middle east peace process no 2 state solution but 1 instead lots of money essential and silencing the palestinians for a prospect of wealth and development the plan sounds reasonable $50000000000.00 in direct investments a 1000000 new jobs within the next 10 years for an area that is suffering from unemployment rates of above 50 percent but there are questions to be answered as well number one who is going to pay for all that and without their own state palestinians feel as 2nd class citizens so for them the proposal comes as a no starter from the very beginning. now is take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world today former u.s. special counsel robert mueller has agreed to testify to public hearings in congress next month while the lead the investigation into russian election meddling and

details numerous occasions when u.s. president may have obstructed justice previously declined faced public questioning over his report between the russian government in yemen there's been heavy fighting between pro-government forces and who the rebels in the southwestern city of tire officials say at least 16 rebels died in the bidens villages and residential neighborhoods in the area have been badly damaged the united nations has called yemen's 5 years civil war the world's worst humanitarian crisis. migrants aboard a dutch flagged german rescue ship have appealed to italian authorities to let them disembark after 2 weeks circling the island of lampedusa in a video message they said the situation for the 43 migrants had become unbearable italy's government says the ship should travel to germany or the netherlands instead 3 other nations office on drugs and crime has

just released its 2900 world drug report the annual study analyzes trends in drug use and abuse looking at supply and demand for opiates cocaine cannabis and found a means and new psychoactive substances the biggest takeaway from the report is the global scale of the problem some $35000000.00 people around the world suffer from substance abuse that's 4 and a half 1000000 more than predicted. well the u.n. experts say much of that rise was due to spikes in india and nigeria both carried out new surveys providing more accurate information on drug dependency in those countries well the report also showed that the global manufacture of cocaine has reached an all time high much for coming from south america it's up around 25 percent authorities seized more of the drug than ever before meanwhile north

america is opioid crisis shows no sign of improving record numbers of overdose deaths from drugs like fentanyl were reported in both the united states and canada the world drug report also revealed that cannabis is still the most widely used illicit drug worldwide in 2016 around 188000000 people reported having used it in some form that number is expected to rise and keep rising as it loses its illicit status with increasing states and countries legalizing the drug abuse science correspondent derek williams is with us here to talk us through the report morning barry so the u.n. says there's been a 15 percent jump in people who need treatment for drug abuse that's nearly 5000000 more addicts what's behind the surge most a lot of this is just a question of bookkeeping to a certain extent statistically you would expect the numbers to go to go up because

of course the world's population is growing so the number of people who are going to be addicted to drugs is going to be growing. in lockstep with that to a certain extent but some of it is simply bookkeeping and india nigeria in particular which you mentioned just in the run up to this talk there's there's just been better bookkeeping methods have been initiated so the whole drugs trade is by its very definition a grey zone it's very difficult to get information cartels and addicts are not going to provide information on how much they've imported or how much they've. old but but there are ways to get to better data and that's what's happened in nigeria in particular which has caused this of a sudden spike there's another number that jumps out of this report a 56 percent 56 percent surge in opioid use is that a problem with opioid use is it limited mainly to wealthy countries the so-called global north or is it a problem in developing countries to emerge and when you're talking about opioids

there are several different compounds that you're talking about some of them are naturally occurring compounds for example in compounds that are isolated from the poppy plant that are used to make opium and heroin and interestingly in this report numbers of the amount of heroin has actually dropped due to a drought in afghanistan which is the primary producer of of those compounds synthetic opioids on the other hand substances like fans and now which we've anybody who works in the media has been hearing about this opioid crisis in america for for years and years they've gone they've shot through the roof more than 50000 deaths due to overdose and 2017 in north america alone but what we're hearing less about prescription and much of the prescription originally these are also medications and but but what we're hearing what we've heard less about almost nothing about actually is and is this impending crisis in africa where the substance called tramadol now child under going to give you a couple of numbers here less than 10 kilograms of this of this synthetic opioid were seized in 201125 tons of it were seized in 2017

it makes you wonder how much of it actually got through almost 5 percent of nigeria's population said they took it for non medical purposes last year so this is this is not a crisis that's impending this is a crisis that's actually already going on in africa pretty much an epidemic the way it's very serious indeed derek thank you very much for filling us in d.w. science correspondent derrick williams. reports are coming in here in germany that are suspected right wing extremist has confessed to the recent killing of jordan politician bought a look also she was shot dead at close range of his home in the western town of costal earlier this month the suspect named only as stefan he was arrested a few weeks ago a few weeks after the the attack rather the killing raised concerns about threats to other public figures we visited the south western tel of hall where

a politician of yano version has been facing rightwing threats for years. the vienna vission moser never knows what she'll find in her mailbox often enough letters or flyers from the far right scene are waiting for her she says her neighbors don't get them she found these 2 weeks ago. and. it's 1st i wasn't sure if they were to be on the safe side i took them out to the tissue i've never come into contact with gun paraphernalia before it's some kind of anonymous message meant for me it was in my mailbox that's definitely a reason to go to the police. as a local politician in the southern german city of horrible vision those who works for refugees and against the far right. this has made her the target of hostilities both on the internet and on the streets of horror. i often do

and i'll never forget this a man said he hoped i would be raped by someone with a refugee background so that it would also come to my senses. she says the attitude toward politicians has grown more aggressive and it started before the recent killing of german politician val to look at at the beginning of june. a survey by a german t.v. station a.r.d. shows that more than 40 percent of german mayors say they have been threatened with violence online or received hate mail and some believe these kinds of threats should be taken more seriously. when i politico michael politicians and those who working for gemini's best interests should be well protected. so we're calling for a federal office that people here are affected contente. some politicians have

stepped down out of fear but that's not an option for councillor viviana vention most of us i'm going to let anyone scare me because i don't want to be scared. despite the bullets in her mailbox and threats on the internet invention moser won't back down. to the women's world cup in france where the round of 16 is over and now in the quarter finals are set yeah expat from v.w. sports is here to talk us through the action yeah it was quite quite the match there the last of the group of 16 a very heavy weight battle yeah indeed this was pitting at the european champions netherlands up against japan who won the world cup back in the 2011 and were finalists just 4 years ago so as he said 2 big heavyweights going toto in this match and both had periods of domination came out swinging and from a it was easily the best match of the world cup so far it had everything it had

gold action some light cruel drama let's have a look at how that match panda. the netherlands launched themselves into the lead early in the 1st half thanks to the commodities who picked out the bottom corner we are prophecy backheel after that though it was japan's game on the stroke of half time you has a guy was crowned this foreign policy move with the finnish deserves to draw things level. a 2nd for japan seemed inevitable in the 2nd off at me nakajima test to be keeper from distance. and later on he see groucho went close neverland's were on the rocks safe here only by the woodwork. then though a stroke of luck for good dodge a penalty right got the day off to view and meet him up lost to the shot at sac ecomog ice. there was no mistake from martin in the 90th minute and orange elation

ensued brutal misfortune for japan the actual moment is our. brutal misfortune for japan you can see it on the face of it there's a player here now they were finalists 4 years ago they've won it in 2011 as you pointed out already but this campaign has been a failure for a don't think we can quite call it a failure just because going into this tournament japan once seen as one of the favorites yes they were finalist but only 5 players from that campaign are actually remaining there actually youngest team in this world cup so they are in a transition phase and no longer will force and i was actually surprised by this performance because i saw them last week in the east when i played england and they were nowhere near as impressive they had a fraction attack and they want a strong on the ball but against the netherlands i thought though easily the best team they deserved to win this match and unfortunately a cruel penalty at the death so all knocked out the best you'd better not talk about that so it was

a bit of an injustice but heartbreak for japan unfortunate but a good omen for the future i believe a young team have performed well here they won the world cup in the on the 20 section last season last year or so i think in 4 years they'll be big back again bigger and stronger ok that wasn't the only game last night there were 2 games ending the group of 16 china and italy yes this was china an old pal house coming up against italy who are looking like an emerging powerhouse this is their 1st world cup in 20 years and they surprise everyone in the group stage to beat a strain of brazil top their group and in this match they also surprise dominating china. and getting it deserved we can in the end this is the 1st goal that i go on 15 minutes with valentino she a chimp t. starting and finishing move to questionable defending their from the chinese as well and then a roar of galley double delayed in the 2nd half we thought. it was an absolute beauty just coming up here and this was italy's 1st knockout win in history so big

deal for the country and you have the feeling that italy only have something special on the domestic league is growing the federation is putting more money into the game it's becoming more professionalized and with a coach milena bit to leni she plays attacking football as well as the defensive football we know the italians play and it's an exciting time no one be surprised if they have another knockout victory in the future against the netherlands in the quarterfinals ok so we've seen japan do well we know the americans of course very strong but otherwise it seems to be a european dominated tournaments yeah exactly 7 out of the 8 tames in the quarterfinals off from europe and it's unfortunately indicative of where the women's game is at the moment the countries that take women's football seriously and put money into it the ones that are excelling teams like the spain italy england have recently woken up in the past few years and are developing their leagues in their country and you can see that teams like nigeria argentina chile

who have to fight the federations to get paid let alone to get funding. struggling and you can see that and hopefully this can be a catalyst for more countries taking the women's game will seriously thank you so much from the sports. do it yourself home repair has led to the discovery of a multi-million euro masterpiece in the french city of toulouse the work by the italian master card is believed to have been left in an attic for at least 100 years. caravaggio's judas and hall a furnace a prisoner a biblical scene in which jewish widow judith beheads the assyrian general who's come to destroy her city and her people. until a few years ago this apparent last masterpiece from the italian artist was hidden away in an attic into lose france. sure we have a lot i want to sell and to lose because the story started here so i wanted it to

end here with the agreement of the seller of course we don't know how the painting made its way back here the most plausible explanation is that a relative of the sellers came back from the napoleonic wars with the painting. and the point. it was discovered while a couple who want to remain anonymous investigated a leaky roof at their home on history fans fascinated. us. now in art history we often think that everything has been seen everything has been discovered and in fact we realize that there are still hidden treasures point in. this painting however it is controversial some all historians disagree that it is indeed a carrot piece but despite the doubts it's been privately sold to a mystery for an estimated 150000000 euros. and just a reminder the top story we're following for you here today on d w news a record heat wave has put parts of europe on high alert with authorities warning
