ah, i'm rebecca richards. welcome to the program. in canada, military aircraft have been mobilized to help evacuate towns and fight more than 130 wildfires tearing across the west of the country. a regular setting hate wave has fueled the fires. rescue is now searching for missing people in little british columbia. roughly, $1000.00 people fled the town, which was almost entirely wiped out. for many, it was a chaotic escape with just minutes to spare. residents of little escape through thick smoke und dash the fire front moved so quickly. they had almost no warning before the town was engulfed in flames. right, so it looks like i went over them and it's about to get everyone stuck on that side

of me and my just literally inspired. i was leaving and i didn't turn them on the door. the blaze ignited a day after the town swell to through almost 50 degrees celsius. breaking canada's temperature record emergency workers is searching for missing residents. as the smouldering town remains unsafe to enter. today our thoughts are mostly with families that are grieving that are facing terrible loss. but of course, we also have to reflect on the fact that extreme weather events are getting more frequent. your climate change has a significant role to play in. the unprecedented hate wave and wildfires have left the country reeling and worried. this will become the new normal way. even if the world wasn't warming, the pacific northwest and stuff of canada would be having an exceptional heap

waiver now. but it won't be quite as severe. it wouldn't be blowing past existing records. or if it did, it would not be blown past them by very much. and so climate change less weights be much more severe than they otherwise would have been in a world without climate change. more than 105 still burning across western canada threatening other towns. prime minister justin trudeau has convened an emergency response group and promises to help communities recover from all at speak with renee van on. she's a reporter at radio station news, $1130.00 out of vancouver. she joined us now by the on the phone a. renee, thanks for joining us. can you describe for us what happened in listen? well, like you heard of that report, right. it was so sudden it comes after incredible. he'd like close to 50 degrees, which is on heard up in western canada and from you know, report from the,

the folks in town. it just took minutes. it was the early evening and before you knew it, they saw the smoke and then they could feel the heat. and then some reports that the flames were traveling like 30 kilometers an hour just from one end to the town to the next. and they didn't really have a lot of time to respond or you can even see some footage of some cars at an intersection and they literally don't know where to turn. did they turn left? do they turn right? it was just chaotic scene. and we've also heard that people are now not being allowed into the town for obvious reasons. how is your station been reporting this disaster while like a lot of other stations. so we've dispatched our reporter to a town where people are congregating after they have been evacuated. so there's emergency centers where you're supposed to check in as an a vacuum. we let people know. yes, you're alive, but now you need red crosses assistance and you need a home and you need toiletries and that kind of thing. so there's a various towns that have set up such as that. so we've dispatched our reporter 2

locations like that. so she can actually talk to survivors and people who, who manage to escape that day. i have caused the fire comes amid record breaking hate wave. we've all been reporting on it over the last days and weeks western canada it's been experiencing. it's still ongoing what's, what's it like there at the moment? it's a little bit better, like i can tell you personally, it was very difficult to sleep in my apartment. again, this is vancouver, like in mid twenty's is considered really hot and vancouver were talking. oper, thirty's, and it was unbearable for our homes. people had to sleep in hotel rooms, people had to sleep where there was air conditioning. most people like myself don't have air conditioning, and a lot of people don't even have fans and that kind of thing. so we're just starting now to feel a little bit more comfortable if now in the mid twenties, i think and another thing too with that yes, we had a he way but, but he didn't go away overnight. so again, on the west coast, we're used to having a very comfortable evening's. it might be hot a little hot in the, in the day time,

but it will cool off completely at night. well, this did not happen this time around. it was hot all 24 hours a day and it was really, really hard to escape. and it's you know, the only the beginning of summer, renee at new $1130.00 out of vancouver, canada. thanks so much for your time. stay safe. you're welcome. let's take a look now and some of the other stories making news around the world already is in japan say to bodies have been found after a powerful mud slide and floods slip through the seaside town of a tommy southwest kid amenities being deployed to look for around 20 other people film, they think japan has been hit by days of terrestrial rank search and rescue team to pull more bodies from the rubble of the collapsed high rise in florida. one of the victims is the 7 year old daughter of a miami fire fighter recovery brings the death toll to 20. 2 officials have evacuated, another building in the area over fees that it is also on safe residence. we given

just 2 hours to leave. more than 300 taliban fighters have been killed in battles with afghans security forces over the past 24 hours. the ministry of defense says many of the casual casualties resulted from strikes. the fighting coincides with the departure of the last remaining american nato troops from background airbase outside the capital cobble, despite reports from the battlefield. this, we can many african sphere, the military will struggle to repel over sergent taliban without us support. let's get more from afghanistan with marion south issues the founding director of the organization for policy research and development studies. i pro democracy the think tank in cobble 9. thanks for joining us with these farm. for post forces pulling out, can we expect the telephone to retake afghanistan including the capital cobble well, that's a question that's actually on everybody's mind right now. we have last about

a quarter of, of jonathan district to the tell a band since approximately end of april and me when the announcement of the withdrawal had taken place. not up by the 29th of june alone, we had about a $127.00 districts that have holden to the total intent had been retaken by the national security forces. at this rate. it certainly seems that the telephone have left the piece off in the negotiation table and have resorted to a military takeover of districts approaching the courts of couple which they had been in the past, but far more aggressively. now. the potential for a military takeover of the taliban of the entire country is something that both afghan officials get people, members of the community are now concerned with. is there

a way to get those paced talks with the combo government and the rebels back on track? there are efforts underway. the i can negotiate in team is in doha right now as we speak. and they are there to start talks with the taliban reports come out that the taliban are not willing to sit on the negotiation table at the present moment. what about the gains that have been made by african women in the last decades? i have going to say a rollback of that. is that an area of concern in afghanistan? there are already reports emerging of districts in certain provinces like the heart. very recently we have reports that just districts that have been taken over by the taliban. they have already imposed restrictions on women on media.

for instance, women are in the high, reportedly not allowed to leave the house without a male chaperone clinics have been closed. there's also reports of media blackout in certain districts of the telephone have taken over. so there is no coverage of the atrocities that are taking place in those areas. and men are told to now keep a beard. and certain of these are reflective of what we saw in the ninety's when the taliban were in power. and and so we are seeing that happen. there are reports that are emerging over abducted serial. and that is indicative of a very horrifying scenario where we are very much of the, of the belief that there is going to be a rollback in many, many games, and particularly women's rights. if this continues at this right now, we're running out of time, but we as we just hadn't that report with a lot of people leave afghanistan, do you expect that to continue?

yes, there are line ups all across the i've got passport office here in cobol where we are, there are line line ups behind embassies, hopkins, or they have their dreading what the the future would hold for the country. they're uncertain, and the uncertainty is what is provoking atkins to leave the country at this present time. in addition to the collective memory of what had happened in the ninety's, marion said he founding director of the organization for policy, research, and development studies in cobble, thank you. very much for your time. the typical now and italy have set up a euro 2020, semi final with spain, after beating belgium to one in a thrilling match in munich goals from nicolo berella and run. so in senior put italy to nail up. and although a ramelle or luke cock, who penalty half the deceit just before half time,

the defeat italy held on during the rest of the game, they remained on calls for the 1st european title in more than half a century. it's him or from oliver moody. now about the italy, we're not a very time victory by staying over switzerland. but all the 1st things 1st, belgium versus italy was billed as the pick of the quarter finals. did it live up to expectations? i'm more than lived up to x ray tysons. rebecca blue, those expectations away. this was really exciting game, a really high quality game as well. some great goals in it. and ultimately it was a game where italy proved their credentials as being the seems to be a year right. 2020. what a tournament had been for them, and they're fine because back home, so far, don't forget the last major for them. and we had italy didn't even qualify for the 28th of oak up. they weren't there. and that was by time footballs. got as standards a scandal and now look at the what a turn around the into the semi finals, if you're at 2020 beating one of the top. favorite belgium on the way,

doing it in some style as well. and my ad. and yeah, you know, there's been a strong feeling says that this tournament with anyone who can be easily, we'll go on to win it and now look at it. we're in the semi finals. and that still seems to be the case. david, really well, much better than spain, who are the other favorites going in that other guy that we referred to with by went to penalties how close was the demand? yes, they were pushed all the way by switzerland. it felt a little bit like early in the tournament west by and created a lot of chances really struggle to take any of them. you know, in this game they did school long go through julia, but, but it was a deflected shot that when said, and other than that they couldn't find a way past the switzerland side, that was stubborn. that was well organized. they equalized through jet and such sheree and often that they managed to hold spain by, even when they were reduced to time, and they go to red cars and youngs on the goalkeeper. he was a very big this huge size that he made to keep spying out. and when we went to the shootout, and sergio bus gets us by miss the very 1st i don't the,

it did look like an upset might just be on the card, but alaska, switzerland, it wasn't. they had some terrible. i don't think so. they missed 3 out of 41 of them blasted way over the bar, and that is what allowed spines that squeak through into the semi finals. well then looking ahead to spain, playing italy, i know where i'd be putting my money. what do you, what do you think about that? look, this is a game that really because the cream of the crop years 2020 against each other spine. keep the ball better than anyone, but they're finishing and so unpredictable. you could give him the same johnson and 2 games and in one they'd go 5 and the other, they school one or 0 even. you know, it's lead. i look like the best balance team at the tournaments. i think they got quality all over the pitch and i think they should just about edge the semi final and make the final. all right, well, monies on italy then thanks all over a different data. when you start watching data, blue news, his reminder of the top story we're following for you or far he says mobilized military aircraft to evacuate towns and help fight more than 100. 35 and with in
