thank. you. this is. temperatures for other parts of the continent also suffering extreme heat. this is just to. bring in. someone from the. u.s. president reaches out to other nations of the g 20 summit. before he spews from trying to climate change to the middle east.

world cup so far. the united states. has. the program. parts of france are experiencing the hottest days on record with temperatures reaching $45.00 degrees celsius an early summer heat wave has been scorching countries across southern and central europe the u.s. weather bureau says this is consistent with patterns expected as a result of climate change france has been taking extra precautions after thousands died in a similar heat wave within a decade ago. a tale of 2 heat waves this is perilous

temperatures in the mid thirty's beating the heat and enjoying. and this is southern france where record temperatures have hit the mid forty's in many towns silence deserted tourist attractions closed schools. people staying off the streets it's all about taking things slowly and lying low. the mayor of the town of comp and struck an urgent tone. it is very important for the government to be aware of this difficult situation until know we felt isolated but no i realize that it's all over france you know the climate is going to change it's not going to get better so you have to start and to supporting it. the heat is also disrupting local business. who is a bit much i should be selling ice cream because today they're not eating roast chickens no way to halt. it was the foremost.

across the border in geneva switzerland the world meteorological association said the european heat wave fits a recent pattern. with still only the end of june. it seems like earth is set to experience its 5 will misty is on record so that's 2015 to 2019 inclusive and this year is still halfway through but you know it seems that it's going to be headed heading to be one of the room stand on record. back in carpentaria the focus is on making it through the day there's just no way to beat this heat. well let's take you to the south of france where we find freedoms journalist chris a bachmann is in the loose not far from well to heat records broken say welcome to chris what do these record breaking temperatures feel like. well it's been

going on for like 3 days now and i think it even gets hotter i mean if i go to my car which i know what i. went 3 hours i get up and trust me it was 45 today here it's about 37 tomorrow we get 40 here in 2 days. what you need to know is that last year alone was the 2nd or 3rd hottest summer and south of france 1800 so we're not only report perhaps you are going to get used to disfigure as this is happening on a more regular basis and in 2003 there were thousands of people many elderly who died because of the heat that went on this relentless heat wave and like you said it's just an it's late june we're used to hot temperatures to 40 if that does happen but this is late june that means we could trace 2 pretty awful months ahead of us through july and august and you mentioned people having to be careful if you know if you're not used to those sort of temperatures you know you look at somebody else

having a in mid forty's thing all that must be well be grateful we saw in the report that people just stay inside. i promise you there's nothing great about 40 degrees whether you live here permanently whether you're a terrorist you don't want to be in that right now actually to some a sale started on wednesday for friday and for myself was one not people went to the to the summer sales because he did apologize to us because a lot of these department stores had air conditioning so a lot of people and i noticed as i was in the city center for lunch today a lot of people have hit this stores deliberately because at least they can get say conditioning a lot of similar. cinemas have been packed as well me i went on to say wednesday i have every the nearby jail a single day if you want and i went swimming from 5 to 8. which is i think is probably the ideal way to escape the heat. basically the homeless people wait what you need to know is that more homes people die of the summit then during the winter in fact because we tend to take a look after the homeless and when they get cold and we see them freezing but in

fact in some of the neglected and that's meant much more people who die who are homeless this summer and right now a lot of home shelters have reopened to put them into some sort of condition the situation right lisa and somewhere where slightly cooler than without face out on these are pretty horrible mess right now what else. is a doing to mr gray the effects of the heat a brief yeah i'd like to say that. a lot of schools close for example a lot of nurseries of closed. a lot of pops are staying open later than usual that you can get some shade and go outside. there's more reinforcement to conditions for retired retirement homes to make sure that the conditions that they're facing are up to scratch and up to their legal requirements so it is a lot more government controls to ensure that young people young kids and elderly people in particular are getting the cover they need and to face the situation

which is actually fed well it's the way the full cost is going to be $40.00 tomorrow as a state what about 30 for the next 10 days in this part of southwest france chris back when to lose 3 thank you. as you saw in the other stories making news around the world a forest fire in northeastern spain is still raging out of control despite the efforts of hundreds of firefighters wealth or to suspect the blaze broke out after a heated minuet self ignited in the intense heat fire officials say it's got to the resort worst forest fire for 20 years in the situation is now critical. italian prosecutors say they have launched an investigation against the competition of the humanitarian ship the sea watch for aiding in legal immigration and telling them just against the orders of. the cattle remains defiant to the standoff is now in its 16th day. bodies of a father and young daughter who drowned trying to enter the u.s.

from mexico being returned to their home country. montanus record by strong tied to ground that found together the 23 month old tucked inside her father's showed. the funeral has been held over to new zealand police officer who was killed in a suicide bomb in the center of tunis it was one of 2 attacks that took place in the capital on thursday 8 people who are also islamic state and those who group has claimed responsibility. u.s. president donald trump struck a conciliatory note at the start of the g. 20 summit in osaka in japan and he to praise on german chancellor merkel who he's criticized in the past he also held talks described as friendly with russian president vladimir putin but mr trump still faces opposition on a range of issues from iran to u.s. chinese trade for urkel a friend of mine a great friend of. the relationship he

wants that is the same man who usually bashes germany relentlessly well don't read too much into it still to. accused of undermining the multilateral trade system and its institutions like the world trade organization and this is still. fighting to save it. then. towards the end of the year the dispute settlement mechanisms of the w t i won't work anymore because i won't be enough judges appointed that's why many here said it's important to advance the world trade organization. on being. of course we have a number of bilateral trade agreements and we hope that on the fringes of this summit the talks between china and the us are successful of the usually here. but here in osaka appears that the multilateral lists are losing ground the g.

20 is starting to crumble at the edges. and that's because the us hasn't altered its position and is gaining more allies. one of them is joe you're both so now rolled the newly elected brazilian president he's developing a close relationship with his u.s. counterparts saying he has been the great admirer of trump for some time. that spells trouble not only for global trade but also the fight against climate change that go she aids are reporting that in those areas of agreement for the final communique seems further away than ever take climate change in the past only the u.s. refused to honor the paris agreement that's supposed to keep global warming below 2 degrees now the other countries like brazil are thinking about joining in.

if there's no more consensus on important topics than the g 20 just might become obsolete. at least the e.u. is willing to put up a fight for the paris agreement and global trade in a multilateral framework but european leaders are on the sidelines while china and the us are heading towards a full blown trade war the trade relations between china and the u.s. . difficult the. contributing to the. economy the world's problems are increasing and its main players are increasingly at odds but at least at the end of the 1st day it's about pictures of harmony and beauty g. 20 leaders. castle one of japan's most famous landmarks.

those friendly pictures might soon be forgotten as early as saturday when the u.s. and china meet or if the g 20 as a whole fails to reach an agreement on trade and climate change. now world cup hosts france face champions united states tonight in the biggest game of the tournament so far u.s. co-captain meghan repeat it will likely play a key role in the quarterfinals she's already become a focal point thanks to her suggestion that if the u.s. were to win the trophy she would turn down the expected invitation to the white house because the president who now resides at president trump of course has tweeted his response a war of words has disturbed the u.s.a.'s quarter final preparations comments meghan rypien 0 had made out a photo shoot back in january resurfaced this week. he's going to. now like on the white house we're not going to be invited you're going to be

invited i doubt it u.s. president donald trump took offense to these comments responding with a series of tweets he claimed to be quote a big fan of the american team and women saka but meghan should win 1st before she talks finish the job he then said quote we haven't yet invited meghan or the team but i am now inviting the team win or lose meghan should never disrespect our country the white house or flag especially since so much has been done for her and the team. but meghan rypien oh is thick skinned and has stood her ground at thursday's press conference she made only a small concession when it came to her previous remarks. i stand by the comments that i made about not wanting to go to the white house with the exception of the ex but i have my mom would be very upset about that i don't think that i would want to go and i would encourage my teammates to think hard about lending that platform or

having that co-opted by an administration that doesn't feel the same way it doesn't fight for the same things that that we fight for the team's quarterfinal match with france will be decided by the tightest of margins rypien 0 says if anything this incident will make them stronger. i think remains of the bridge that collapsed in the italian city of genoa in its last year have been demolished 43 people were killed when disaster struck today engineers blew up the last remaining pillows. they controlled explosions brought down the 100 meter towers in less than a minute. the government says a new bridge will be completed by next spring.
