in some degree celsius, no place in canada has gotten that. so in the short term, a lot of people in this area are surprised that there is no provincial state of emergency. although we do know that there are resources coming from the federal government with the military, give me an id, state, sending firefighting personnel, and i think is a launch here. a lot of people want changes to legislation to try and prevent some of the activities that can potentially cause buyers. certainly take a long time ticket for human cause buyers. but they do have more than half of the wild cars that we get every at any given year are from human activity. so a lot of people want stricter navy, tougher rules for change is to prevent some of the catastrophes we see. all right, that was cold and davies, anchor and reporter with radio and l. 610. thank you for joining us. thank you. in japan, a powerful mudslide has swept through a seaside town flattening nearly everything in its path. at least 2 people have

we can actually look at some of the action now from the game. and it was pretty easy, as i say, came in kind of slow start to this woman. and now let's go to got 3 goals in total in the last 2 games. so that was a very good stuff ring and, and they just kept on going and ukraine had actually know whether, i mean it should have been more goals before time. but then i remember glasgow just after the break. great cross from luke. sure. he'd been criticize a lot along the tournament. great against germany. very good against you. again and then sure again and sets up hurricane the 3. know, and it was a walk in a box and then jordan henderson made it for nearly 1st of all golf ring. and so ed room was happy just worked out perfectly. alright. and now the semi finals in the finals are going to be at wimbledon will be in london, and england has not considered a goal getting to tournaments. so could we say that football is coming up? well, as an, as an englishman, i know that it's a bit early to be saying things that, that given we have a major titles in 966 and yes, it is 3 semi finals in a row now for this england side,

but they have gone out in the last season we finals the nations league and the will cope. so it's a bit early to say, but yes, the same is that women are they going to have 60000 friends, wembley, which a lot of people think he's very high. give them that, groaned virus cases rising again in england. so yeah, it's, you'd have to say they favors looking at that going forward. alright, and looking forward, england, these denmark on wednesday in the deans themselves, are kind of enjoying a fairytale tournament after what was almost a tragic start to the contest. yes, indeed. i mean, obviously we had christine ericsson collapsing on the pitch in the 1st game. happily he recovered the dangers, sort of take him back on. there's really spurred them, they've been fantastic. the last 2 games we can look at some of the reactions to the, to the early goal from thomas delaney against the repub. they want to one in the end, but then it seems to me, i guess the build the, the check the one back. but we're always sort of been in control in that game that was so white on the feeder a moment where an l b, g, t, q, banner,

rainbow banner was kind of confiscated by the backend security staff and the danes . very upset about that. no oversee, it's not a good look for you way for after everything that happened to me, where they weren't allowed to eliminate the stadium in rainbow colors, but the danes, what really be worrying about that? they'll be concentrating on their, their semi final again thing. and i have to say in them will be a bit wary of facing denmark, given the kind of story this fairy tale that's built up around them. all right, mark meadows from the w. sports, thanks for keeping us up to date. when he leaves founder julianna's songs has spent his 50th birthday behind bars, supporters and parker, and to put on a picnic in london as arms being held in prison in the u. k. while he waits for an extradition ruling, a fashion designer vivian westwood ceremoniously stabbed a birthday cake describing the songs of the quote, the sacrificial victim. i

lunch and on the voices. the only way i can be on top is to create my own empire story this weekend on the w. yeah. the the the the, the, the, these athletes have a dream. it's more than a big competition. the olympic games. i just want to be part of it. the biggest

sporting event in the world. you have your very best and then you can beat anyone in the panoramic has thrown everything into doubts. will the game take place at all as well? we don't know if there will be any competitions that's pretty difficult to deal with. like how athletes dealing with the challenges for pandemic, we joined full on their road to tokyo, to already qualified to are still fighting for their tickets. will this boating dream come true with the fence, alexandra and dolo hasn't yet secured her place at the games today. after months of waiting and training, she's finally back in a competition. she's finally feeling her adrenalin return, even if it wasn't there to help her pack her bag. i actually had to ask myself

several times. if i got everything i needed from, usually i just get it right automatically with international travel off the cards, the competitors, the old german is nonetheless an important test of the month of inaction. the i and dolo still has to qualify for the olympics and today's tournament is an important indicator of the level of competition. she was the favorite in light, but disappointingly, she wasn't the one who one still days like this. irreplaceable for an athlete like alexandra and dolo, even just hearing that play or ready go from the referee or something else to be

coming back to the starting line as well. of course we do that in training as well, but it all together a bit and every now and again, we take the time, but it's not the same as it is here. about mr. hi jumper marie le wrong young flash has already booked her place at the games. but while she can train, she hasn't been able to compete since 2019 she's supported by her family in the black forest. dear in fryeburg is where her sporting journey began. it's really nice to be here and it was where i started my sporting career. i never had a really serious goal. i just enjoyed it. of course i wanted to improve, but i never made it to my goal to jump to meters or even higher. i just wanted to have fun on high used to jump a little higher at every competition. and i thought if this keeps out,

that could turn out well. but i think that she made it all the way to the lympics in 2016 age 25. she placed 7th in rio since then pressure and media interest, they've been constant visits to her mother help the athletes stay grounded to her. so here's what this is where her wrists are and her family and everyone else. it's important for her to come back to her roots to reenergize, to cool off what just the hall, not necessarily the athlete that everyone always asks after. i think that's important for her, but i must be over human flesh once to go to tokyo this year. the corona and looked down on testing her patients. the local rules are strict and include a nightly curfew from 8 p. m. and i'll be so happy when it's finally over to be able to go out again like normal not to have to be home at age to be able to meet

i wanted to take a step back in terms of technique. so we're together with the coach to return to an older technique for what well, going back to the roots a bit and then in terms of strength, it's always a bit risky. cost message isn't the rule i had changed the moment in which he turns into a side on stuff he's yet to test the technique at a competition. still he qualifies for the games and he's feeling positive reason for that. i've got a huge advantage and that i'm in the middle of my career already competed against the very best achieve the lot of success and relax going forward. and it's a lot more difficult for people who are at the end or the very beginning of their career. carter com met lean thought man is preparing under plenty of pressure 1st and again, the more it's the biggest event there is. he
