chris. to. my. this is the w. news live from bali bushfires burning out of control in australia several fires have now come right to form a mega foggy sydney shrouding the country's largest city and a cloud of toxic smoke firefighters say it's too big to push out also coming up fast too on the streets of paris as activists express their rage

a proposed economic reforms they say will make life an affordable. option for motives us so far launch an investigation off a deadly shooting by saudi and then to u.s. naval base in florida. from head on the hunt for a glad you could join me firefighters in australia are battling hundreds of fires in the country's east thank you a massive bushfire north of the largest city sydney it was formed when many smaller blazes joined together in authorities say it is now too big to push out. grass fires bushfires. and even a fine nadir a deadly swell of flames spinning out of control. these are just some of the dozens of blazes this are ripping across eastern australia several fires have come

together in a mega fire in an area roughly 60 kilometers across leaving. nearby city of sydney swaped in toxic smoke. beach and unpredictability of the fires leaves rural residents with little choice so any talking and more just come out of the sorcery just leaves bushfires a common in australia but meteorologists say climate change is exacerbating this fire season it's an extreme challenge especially for firefighters to put out as well for the next year there's a $30.00 to $40.00 boarders i mean you start to go up there's little relief in sight forecasters say more hot dry and windy conditions are on the way in the coming days. well to another area of and there are mental concern oxygen in the world's oceans is being lost at an unprecedented rate threatening sea life important ecosystems and some coastal communities scientists speaking at this

weekend's un climate change conference in madrid say that the rising temperatures overfishing and pollution also blame one of our own alex for us why he joins me now for more on this good to see alex tell us more about these findings and what's or who play well this is being compiled by scientists working for the i you see and that's the international union for the conservation of nature and it's the largest report of its kind and what they all warning people is that the warming seize on leading to dead zones that means there is no oxygen left and they've also highlighted 700 sites where there was virtually no oxygen left that's up from just 45 in the 1960 so you can see that there is has been a huge change over the last few decades now all fish need dissolved oxygen to survive but the largest species need much more so for example choose and sharks

what do they do to get that oxygen now where they go to the shallower waters where they can get hold of the gas that though at least invulnerable to fishing that leads to another prop. of overfishing and there is one other issue here and that is nutrient pollution it's something we've heard about in the past where chemicals come off the land they go into the water the seas the rivers because of farming and industry and again exacerbating this problem so scientists are very concerned about it it sounds concerning it also sounds fairly scientific so what does this mean in reality well i think scientists are really trying to to remind us all just how important the oceans are to our lives and how they protect us for example from climate change and that's because they absorb the huge amount of carbon dioxide that's in the atmosphere and also heat so if oxygen starts to disappear it's going to have an effect such as a loss of habitat a loss of biodiversity so already scientists say this will have

a huge impact on fish stocks which again are already under threat because of this overfishing and let's just remember that all our marine life is already facing problems from things like plastic pollution what's batsman worrying though is that scientists are saying that in the long term they don't really know what effect this lack of oxygen is going to have in the future or something you never want to hear from scientists so what needs to be done where they want to be immediate action in 3 areas 1st of all curb greenhouse gas emissions get rid of this new trim pollution so the chemicals running off the land and stop the overfishing the thing is it sounds very good on paper very difficult to put into practice when you're talking about global leaders who can't agree on things we know that some of those leaders don't even particularly believe in climate change and those that do will be concerned about the political impact the economic impact but the scientists saying

you have to act and you have to do it now absolutely issuing a warning on a very important point indeed alex forrest white events are much. let's take a look now some of the other stories making news around the world in iraq funerals have been held for protesters killed in friday's attacks in baghdad more than 20 people were killed and 130 wounded when masked gunmen stormed protest sites the home of a prominent cleric was also targeted. the united states and iran have each freed a prisoner in a swap a chinese american detained for 3 years on spying charges and an iranian accused of violating u.s. sanctions have returned it was a rare act of cooperation between the 2 hostile countries. in india a woman who was set on fire by a gang of men has died in hospital police say the woman was on her way to testify in her own rape case when she was attacked the case has provoked outrage in the

reform it's a big picture they say in about call the president they say is taking apart our social security system but people are really angry and they're really afraid many people here have told me you know the plan memo not correspond it's to bring together 42 you mentioned systems into one single system and they understand that the current system might not be sustainable in the long run but they just don't trust the president to do the right thing they think that he's just going to take away from those who are already struggling to make ends meet. u.s. authorities also watching for motives off a shooting by a saudi f.o.c. attendant at a u.s. navy base in florida now the saudi national was trained as a pilot he killed 3 people and wounded several others before police shot him dead saudi government has condemned the attack. the saudi air force trainee opened fire in a classroom building at the u.s. naval station in pensacola where

a french actress who accuses polanski of having break her back in 175 when she was just 18 and that this is one of a series of new allegations against the director of course most people know he is still a fugitive from us just as having fled the u.s. after a stash ory rape allegations were made against him in 1077 so the controversy is whether or not. something like the european film academy should on or a director like this who has such allegations against him women's group in france has called on the european film academy to boycott polanski and his film saying this way is an insult to his victims might he still would he might plenty has a lot of support within the european film academy 10 years ago he really cleaned up these awards with the film the ghostwriter this film is fairly well received it won the award jury award in venice won a premier there but i don't i've not putting my money on this this man and i'm not

putting money on this film if i if i had to make a bet there's a number of much better films that are nominated there to be credible to do so i think will really clean up tonight. a lot of ours painting glory from the spanish director late career masterpiece starring antonio banderas who's my i think is a shoo in for the best actor on or he gets the performance of his life playing a sort fictionalized version of a motive or himself and then there's the favorite which was one of my dear films actually of last year but it's just been nominated this year for the fed and for the european film awards it comes to the awards having already won an oscar for a living coleman starla vehicle and playing a queen and so this is 2 amazing films that i think would be a much better pick and obviously much less controversial than the polanski very briefly what kind of husband european cinema i think it's been amazing here we've seen a couple of great films we stablish directors but also some 1st time films as film . french director. which is about police brutality in the news quite

relevant nowadays seeing the punk protests that are happening in france right now and this is the 1st time director his 1st feature film already nominated for best film tonight it just shows you sort of the depth and breadth of european cinema particularly when it looks at socially relevant themes which is always been the strength of great european films absolutely couldn't agree more scott rocks for thank you very much. well in football table toppers breast to mention blood bath emerged victorious from a thrilling blunders lead about with by munich a penalty by a rummy bend said by e.t.a. in the dying moments sealed a 21 victory for bloodbath cementing desa promising hold on 1st place and 2nd straight loss puts them 7 points off the top spot so it's taken it out the rest of the buddha's negus the saturday games that's all matched a 40 well dortmund homage distilled all flights to be tough and hi fi book defeat evolves auersperg down mines friday frankfurt drew with hatter.
