a whopping 45.9 degrees celsius in one place and early summer heat wave has been scorching countries across southern and central europe the u.s. weather bureau says that this is consistent with patterns expected as a result of climate change or france has been taking extra precautions after thousands died in a similar heat wave more than a decade ago. a tale of 2 heat waves this was paris on friday temperatures in the mid thirty's plenty hot the people were beating the heat and enjoying it it was a different story in southern france where temperatures have hit the mid forty's in many towns silence deserted tourist attractions closed schools people staying off the streets and lying low to neighboring small towns competed for the dubious honor of setting france's temperature record tiny v.v. a was the 1st to breach the 45 degree mark but residents played it cool. when you

shoot a tissue yes it's very hot it's very hot but if you take the normal precautions and if you're sensible and get up early and you rest during the hottest moments it's somewhat bearable. i think i answered. but the town of. ventura hit 45.9 degrees the highest daily temperature ever recorded in france. has really cool it's a nice surprise to have but we haven't done anything for it we just have to put up with it because we have to put up with this climate and that's what the future holds for us don't forget the south of france is going to become tropical. across the border in geneva switzerland the world meteorological association said the european heat wave fits a recent pattern we're 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 $2900.00 inclusive and this year is still halfway through but you know it seems that it's going to be hit having to be one of the room just on on record. back in the sweltering south of france there's just no way to beat this heat. and earlier i spoke to freelance journalist chris bachman in toulouse in southern france not far from where the heat record was broken today and i asked him how it felt to experience record heat. horrible probably the quick response if i go to my car right now which i really would not want to like it being tough and toss it's 3 hours and there was $45.00 degrees today. it's a red alert the french weather service for a 1st time to put a red alert straight sheet in front 7 and it's about it tomorrow as well so they're going to stop at the we're going to suffer here is walks it's 40 degrees tomorrow. right now is what 9 o'clock it must be around 30 degrees right now it's not

a good place to be cheers day wednesday i escaped to a river from 5 to 8 called the f. you want that was the place to be to sail started here in france on wednesday and so a lot of people based you and shopping in the balkans but mainly i think fred conditioning and air conditioning i mean are there places where you can escape the heat have been southern france is not known for being a mecca for air conditioning. no i mean to be honest i don't have and neither but. i mean transport systems and take into account they have to have a commission just that united into at last year was the 2nd to last us sama in southern france since 1900 so we're getting used to how this weather is really changing and last year was not good so if we're experiencing this it means that we're having to adapt to it and now per time for people who live in retirement homes that they've been forced to have air conditioning installed by the government

schools are also having to change that have been up to change and put in neck and issuing to have to close today for example so that kids can go to school because they're just suffered too much exams for students have been put back a few days as well because the conditions of the students within the polling so you know unless you see decisions now but also say some systems are being made now for the future because basically it's getting hotter all the time. and that's it's a situation facing in his interest is that your impression that the authorities in france they are doing their best to stay ahead of this heat curve if you will to make sure that they're not always reacting to the weather situation. yeah let me give you if you go back a bit 2003 you may remember it was a really long cheap way feared it wasn't just in france it's the was impacted as well huge amounts and tens of thousands of people died and what happened was that because of that the government told oh a french employees have to work a day for free that money that will be go will get invested into retirement homes

to help that to put a conditioning in and all the conditions and so that people can actually out of people kids actually get through these horrible conditions so they have actually been putting in a lot of these safeguards for the last decade or so already but there's no question that if you cannot worry what late june it gets hot out here hits fort freeze every yet but it could get hot for another 2 and a half months before the situation really comes down you know journalists in chris martin do they definitely earning your money sweating in the heat there interludes in france chris thank you well as the european heatwave grinds on activists in paris have been taking to the streets to draw attention to climate today hundreds of people many of them students sit in on side of the president's residence the alyse palace they also blocked traffic in central paris the protest was organized by the extinction rebellion movement that has held demonstrations across europe.

here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world a forest fire in northeastern spain is still raging out of control despite efforts of hundreds of firefighters authorities suspect the blaze broke out after a heap of manure self ignited yes ignited in the intense heat fire officials say it's keva loney's worst forest fire for 20 years and that the situation is now critical the ethiopian government has arrested more than 250 people after what he described as an attempted coup detainees include the spokesman of a political party representing the m horror ethnic group 5 high ranking officials were killed in weekend attacks in the capital addis ababa and in northern i'm horace state the u.s. man who killed a young woman protesting against a white nationalist rally in charge charlottesville virginia has been jailed for life on hate crimes the white supremacist james fields plowed his car into

a crowd of counter protesters back in august 27th seen he killed a heather higher and injured dozens of its turkey's a constitutional court has ruled that the year long detention of turkish german journalist did is huge it was illegal the judges found no grounds for a lower court's decision to imprison joe who writes for a german newspaper prosecutors had claimed that he was spreading propaganda for an illegal organization. u.s. president will trump has struck a conciliatory note at the start of the g 20 summit in the japanese city of osaka heaped praise on german chancellor angela merkel who he has criticized in the past in the past 24 hours as matter of fact he also held talks described as friendly with russian president vladimir putin but president trump still faces opposition on a range of issues from iran to u.s.

chinese trade. a kind of great credit. for that relationship. one that is this the same man who usually bashes germany relentlessly well don't read too much into apple it's still donald trump who stands accused of undermining the multilateral trade system and its institutions like the world trade organization and this is still i get fighting to save it. towards the end of the year the dispute settlement mechanisms of the w t o won't work anymore because they 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. so.

good 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 negotiators 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 traits of the relations between china and us. difficult the. contributing to the slow don't if you can over the economy the world's problems are increasing and its main players are increasingly at hearts but at least at the end of the 1st day it's about pictures of harmony and beauty g.

20 leaders. one of japan's most famous landmarks. those friendly pictures might soon be forgotten as early as saturday when the u.s. is charm and china's huge and meet or if the g 20 as a whole fails to reach an agreement on trade and climate change. as. future of u.s. trade it hangs in the balance of the g 20 summit but europe is blazing ahead on a different front the european union and the south american economic bloc. have reached a deal on forming the world's largest free trade zone both sides are hailing the historic breakthrough after 2 decades of negotiations but the deal is not without its critics. in brazil large areas of amazon rain forest are being destroyed to make way for cattle farms much of the meat is exported to europe. now

that the e.u. and south america's mirco sewer bloc have struck a provisional trade deal that could result in higher quotas for b. thank sports to europe. german chancellor angela merkel had pushed strongly for the lucrative agreement she hopes it will give a further boost to german industry for example through car exports i. like many e.u. leaders she's looking to multi-lateralism at a time when the u.s. is pulling back from free trade. the draft agreement ends nearly 20 years of negotiations between the e.u. and sewers full members brazil argentina uruguay and then now suspended venezuela. but the deal faces hurdles before it's approved harsh criticism has come from european farmers and environmentalist you have to be production in brazil you have people to action in europe so what's the point shipping the same product of atlantic this is our 1st point the 2nd one is that cows in europe affect that

a lot of soy which is scroll in farm areas that amazon possible are so you have different stations. brazilian presidential year both n.r.o. has lauded the deal but there are concerns that he could make good his threat of pulling out of the paris climate accord and then even more rain forest could be destroyed to push exports of beef and soybeans. you're watching news live from berlin still to come remembering a milestone for the community did you visits the site of the 1969 stonewall riots in new york city that gave rise to the gay rights movement we'll also meet one of the trailblazers that's coming up in just a few months. from docking in italy has dismissed a threads by the country's interior minister to have her put in prison she says her duty is to the 40 people on board her ship the italian government which has closed

its waters to rescue vehicles says 5 other european countries have offered to accept the migrants the vessel has been at sea since rescuing the migrants more than 2 weeks ago. their destination almost within their grasp but the standoff between the italian government and the german n.g.o.s that runs the see watch 3 means another day of one sept and see. for some the all to see is taking its toll and the early hours of friday morning a young man was evacuated from the ship in severe pain as a live in your old brother was allowed to go with him because he was a minor yesterday we entered the italian territory without permission. we declared a state of necessity. situation and the humanitarian condition has been worsening so much that i cannot guarantee the safety off the rescue people anymore on. a prosecutor on the southern italian island of sicily said look it's

a had been put under investigation under recently bolstered laws that seek to prevent rescue ships from disembarking migrants in italy and there was little sympathy from the italian government for the migrants plight. crew and commander that must be stopped arrested and expelled. expect the european union to tell me where and when these 40 people will go and for me the question ends in 2 minutes. despite italian hostility the country's interior ministry and the to deal was imminent with 5 countries germany france finland luxembourg and portugal having offered to share the hosting of the migrants see watch 3 in the ship run by the spanish proactive open arms n.j. you are the only 2 privately run vessels patrolling the mediterranean after the italian and maltese governments introduced strict immigration policies last year these n.g.o.s could be on a collision course with those governments which like italy's refused to

a low privately run rescue ships to dock but for the dozens of migrants still in barking on potentially deadly journeys across the mediterranean every day the ships presence could prove the difference between life and death should a deal be struck the wait for a new life in europe will finally be over for those currently stranded on board. cultural mediator on board the sea watch 3. men who have been taken off. one of them was critically ill and needed to get to hospital and the reason that they had to get off the ship is that because we don't have the capacity to treat them on the ship and that is an indication of the situation we're in it is an emergency situation and we cannot go on like this a rescue ship like ours is not made to be at sea for this low even though we're quick to we have fresh water for drinking and we have enough food the point is that it's not meant to take so long because it's not the end of the journey and even by

little a rescue is not considered over until people are actually on that so we are caught up in this political game and meanwhile people's mental health and physical health is also deteriorating on the ship. and these on the speaking with this earlier 50 years ago today in the early hours of the morning new york police raided a bar called the stonewall inn on christopher street then as now it was a meeting place for greenwich village is. community regulars were used to the bar being raided and the police brutality that often followed but that night they fought back the stonewall uprising went down in history as the 1st time gay people had resisted arrest and started a riot in the name of equality in honor of the event people around the world celebrate christopher street day often with a gay pride parade. these new york streets are witness to history and where day

pride began 50 years ago christopher street was the scene of riots known as the stone movie uprising which placed the l g b t movement on a global stage back then the stonewall in was a haven for people who didn't identify with the heterosexual norms of the day they could hang out drink daunce simply be themselves but not without risks being gay could result in prison or heavy fines. violence and harassment were common in the early hours of june 28th 1969 police raided the spot the stonewalling now it wasn't the 1st time but this time around it was breaking point lesbian gay and transgender people were herded out and on today street the now iconic christopher street bottles and bricks were thrown on the rates dock to protest which lasted for days college a remembers them well she was $22.00 at the time and kept her gay identity secret

fearful of the consequences like many lesbians of my generation i compartmentalize my life i have had to hide my identity and college and now i was hiding my identity work because i could be fired for being a lesbian under the law homosexuality was illegal i already knew there really was nothing wrong with me but for me the question was how are we going to get society to change seen thousands join her in protesting for gay rights emboldened her as a founding member of the gay numeration front she helped organize the 1st ever gay pride marches from there her role as an activist was assured using her new found voice to become an author an icon of the movement changing millions of lives we have made without the amazing progress we were going to fight for incremental change and the hope that some. heterosexual society would allow

us to work or allow us to go to school it seemed to me that we needed to force this change our message to the world you don't need a word group of people to create change you just need the will and the courage to do it. a message which is inspired a younger generation to engage politically. casey hunting's he's concerned that there's still no nationwide north korea texting l g b t people from to discrimination you have like marriage equality and like that's probably not going to go anywhere but there's so much more rights to be had for your people you know like i did i took a cross-country trip with my partner 2 years ago and we were discussing how like as we drove state to state our rights drastically changed our protections drastically changed and and that's to you know gay men not to mention trans people that are not

going to be validated for that i see so much more progress that could be made over time a sentiment echoed by all those who come to the memorial park office at this time mourning right to me means acknowledging my history i'm a bisexual person a pansexual person and it acknowledges my history and what we've fought for to be recognized to be able to get married to the people we love to be able to be in public with the people we love and just to be able to be ourselves and come out like and there's still a lot of progress to be made there while for many tourists this gay rights memorial represents a moment in history of the l.g. t.v. from the stir your name is a reminder of the struggle that continues today. and let's pick up the discussion now i'm joined by activism our jones joining me from the beautiful island of

puerto rico amar it's good to have you on the program it's been 50 years since those gays and lesbians in the stonewall inn said we've had enough 50 years there was no it's not a long time when you think about it told me a little bit about what their fight changed for the. community. i think the fi opened up a tremendous amount of possibilities and opened up the discussion about. people and more than anything it was a moment that allowed. people to organize in a way that hadn't been possible before and it's that organization and that coming together over time which is what allows for the changes that we've had which are not significant enough they've been tremendous but they're falling forced far short and specifically in the current political environment here are in that but i think it was more at it was more important for the community because it showed other

people within the community that we could stand up science back organize and when and i think that that's important it's important when you look at what the world looks like nails to clean the u.s. right now it's pride season you've got politicians who are openly gay you've got sports men who are openly gay and last night of the debate so you know we soul you've even got a gay man running for president at the same time you're still campaigning though to have equal rights. yes because we don't have equal rights so just because one has visibility and that visibility is accepted doesn't mean that you know one has rights and there are several big issues i mean why issue is for transfer people in the united states united states has the highest number of murders of trans people than any other country on the planet except for brazil and mexico. and trans people continue to be the most marginalized people in the united states even though we

particularly transparent of color black and brown people on the night of stonewall i think people started the rebellion actually who organized the 1st parade in $1070.00 that will be commemorated next year and overall the. position of l.g.b. teach you people emphasizing people who are lesbian gay and gay can be openly discriminated against in states that half the country there are no legal protections for gay people and over half the country in fact more than half the country and so there are so many ways in which to there has been an achievement and there's ability there's been an achievement and acceptance and if it's not going to she writes unfortunately we're out of time but we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with the talk with us about what is very important joining us tonight from puerto rico thank you thank you so visitors to a brazilian wildlife reserve will soon be able to get a glimpse of these newcomers in real life but they've already made their media they

view their brother and sister although you wouldn't think so the milk has spotted for like the father is like the sister with her black coloring there she takes after her mother the cubs are the 1st 2 baby jaguars to be born in a captive breeding program in brazil and we think both are well just pretty spot all. oh. you're watching the news after a short break i'll be back to take you through the day tonight the joke about russian meddling in u.s. elections who's laughing and who's not.
