prime minister, boys johnson, hold on to power. we posed this question before word. there were the lockdown. booze parties, a criminal fine issued by the police, followed by a confidence vote that johnson narrowly won. but each time he survived the seemingly superman at number 10, downing until he became his own kryptonite. in the past 24 hours more than 2 dozen members of his government have resigned in a scandal of men behaving badly. and the prime minister, who knew about it, but said he did, i'm burned off in berlin. this is the day ah, treading that tightrope between loyalty and integrity has become impossible in recent months. which don't seem to know what they're doing and they're so right. yeah, i'm just trying to feel that you'd expect a government to continue with its work not to walk away. the reset button could

only work so many times. enough is enough, isn't this the past recorded case of the sinking ship playing the roster for the job of a prime minister in difficult circumstances? will you be handed a financial bind with? i think he kept head manuel it also coming up this year, summer arrived in europe earlier and hotter than usual. tonight we take a look at one possible cause. now imagine a heat wave that is $7.00 to $12.00 degrees celsius hotter than the usual ones. and comes at an unusual time of year. that's exactly what happened here in spain, in june. which you, our viewers watching on p b. s in the united states and to all of you around the world. welcome. we begin the day with what looks like the sinking ship of british prime minister orest johnson.

since we went on air yesterday, more than 2 dozen officials in johnson's government have resigned, including the finance and health ministers in parliament to day. one of them offered an explanation, saying that he could no longer give the prime minister the benefit of the doubt in questions of honesty and integrity. enough, he said, is enough. i'm just moments earlier, the prime minister delivered a message of defiance despite the growing course of all makers demanding he resign . johnson, making it clear as he has before. i am not stepping down. i am here to do what i was elected to do. now this have served johnson well in the past. a former prime minister, once referred to johnson as a greased pig lit, able to slide through the tide of situations, but after so many scandals in the past 3 years, there may not be any greece left. johnson's conservative party appears ready to change its own rules to allow another confidence vote

a vote. that would surely be the end of johnson as prime minister. or would we have this report tonight? one lisa for an embattled forest johnson. it was a breeze in question. time passed on the 1st opposition lead a kiss, dharma called them to quit india and slammed the ministers still supporting him. when i come to later, the opposition can donna anywhere with anything about them, would be long gone from his from press, in the middle of a crisis dotted the country to the better. the ne, zed lift cost of notting dogs, lawmakers from johnson's own party, also lined up to say it was time for him to go for better. yes, including the man who until tuesday was his health minister. and at some point, we have to conclude. i don't seem to know what they're doing and this right, for sure. price is still there. so i really think he's,

he's always now counting the hours. but with a bloody johnson vowing to loan, it'll be up to his policy to decide just how long he has left are for more now we want to go to one of the bring in bedroom political corresponded robert hutton. he's also the parliamentary sketch writer for the british, political and culture magazine. the criticism works the number of people who voted directly before his junction and the last election. i didn't have it, but he will be around 30000 people who voted in his constituency, barely only people who get a vote on about 8 with boards, johnson name on it. so, but, but he, he's, he's argument is, they wanted me out. his emp, he's say, well, maybe they did then, but they really don't now you know, off the everything. but i, but that's the challenge. i mean, the bottom line is that the m. p. 's, you are right in the sense that they,

in the sense i've written is a parliamentary democracy. but ultimately, what they do have the power to throw them out. and he's going to make them do it well. and then, or less up. let us suppose johnson does not resign would she had said he's not going to do and he has to be forced out of this could very well come down to a matter of numbers. i want you to listen to a labor m p. questioning him during a parliamentary committee session today, take a listen. do you have a 358, n pays. you have now have 32 minutes doesn't p, p. s is who resigned? it was $28.00 at the beginning of this meeting and that and then an additional. yes, it will resign tomorrow. if you get resign. so that makes it a 100 make you to if you include office 358 times to just to make them as simple for you as a 170 knowing not looking very good. is it?

yes, you sound the, you know, the numbers are not in your favor right now, but we, we've had more resignation since that committee hearing. but our johnson's opponents in the conservative party. are they sure that they have enough backing to ask him if push comes to shove? i mean, if the 1922 committee, if they change the rules, if they're, if they allow another competence vote, are they confident then that that johnson will lose that vote? i think they are and it's because it's not just those ministers. i mean some of those ministers will probably not a better fit for him in the conference folks. to be honest, that was a secret ballot. i know that there are people who are who state as ministers, who weren't show us for him or not but it's not just them. what's also happening is there are m p 's who i you won't have heard of, but i, i sit in the chamber of poem and all day and i look at them and they're on their m

. p. 's like you and us. and jonathan college people who i, why would i would say to you pretty confidently, those guys will go down with him. they will be in the last trench with him. they are full blooded or is believe is they do think their voters voted for boris. and those guys calling from me and, and that was actually the, the, the moment for me i, when i, when you start, see those name, you think my goodness, who has he thought i and it's going to be a really interesting question. he has 2 appointments. most new ministers should take the place of the ministers who resigned or, and michael goes case, he's fine. risky. he thinks he can find 20 or people who wants to land peace, who will accept joe, can he each no, absolutely clear. he can. no, absolutely can. and they are, all departments have no ministers now. is this is,

this is non trivial, is a government business, but tomorrow sort of government legislative business is stopping tomorrow because there are no ministers to go and do the thing in parliament that you have to do to stay over bill 3, i'm going to receive the committee and say we're doing this, we're doing this, we're doing this and that has to be a, a warm body. we take that place and they currently don't have any there are there are, i mean there's a new education sector. i think she has one minister in her department who hasn't resigned. so it's a really interesting question. i think that philly thing. yeah, go ahead. i don't think he will go. you stay there. he will go. but i don't think i but he's amazing. they're going to make him, he, he's, he's going to make them make him. and he, the other interesting threats that he made of that committee. we saw, you know, this question of whether he will try and call the general election. and he was

incredibly of a civil mass to the point where either he didn't understand the question, but he's not a stupid man. and he knew what they were asking. yeah. you know, he was saying you come any closer and i will go lower the place. ok, well we're waiting to see if that bomb, if the time bomb is still ticking, robert hutton in london, we appreciate your time and your insights. excellent. talking with you. and as you said, this is a fluid fluid story. thank you. thank you. ah, we're now the latest on the war in you cray, ukraine's defense forces are preparing for a ground assault by russian troops in the dawn yeske industrial region in eastern ukraine. the local governor there says there is no safe place left. it is urging the remaining 350000 residence to leave. it's a desperate rush to leave my saying it by his heart. there isn't much

left for them here in the city. it's love. janski's. russian shilling has demolished home small businesses and hopes for aging with dignity and security. i looked at other this with my shock here. oh no. i have no words. yeah. lots of money, lots of resources, and i said, 20 years if we're well in everything it's lost. walter, i've no income. sure. nothing connected to the city anymore. the stock of worship with water. you should did? yes. yes, the coil? no. yeah. i'm scared for my wife and my daughter who's 6 months pregnant, you'll natalie. they need to leave here, especially after what happened yesterday. mostly they hit the city center. yes. was it the worst of job? what his us law? russia has already claim victory and near by lu hans, now the kremlin is moving the frontline of the war to the front doorstep of dun yeske in the don boss. region. 2 civilians died after shelling struck

a market and sl of yonce earlier this week. the local government as begging civilians all 350000 of them to evacuate life. no more joyce livable to morrow yield. i would join the army. this isn't the 1st time war has come to us. love janski's. it was seized by russian backed separatist. and 2014 and recapture 2 and a half months later. there's no telling how long these refugees will have to stay away, or what they'll find when they return. your grants military's continuing the fight . as rushes forces advance laguna or corresponding economy, he is in keep following events for is nick, we know that russian forces have control of half of that critical don't bass region that they say that they want to take. was the latest now on the offensive to take. the remaining half was real fair hearing care that

russia is on something of a role after weeks spent taking 70000. yes. can huge losses they took so in this case, citizenship, it's just a matter of days of the sense that they could really be pushing home that advantage that, than your strategy of focusing their efforts on a pretty small section. the front lines moving away from trying to do too much what they did in the early months. this war that failed so spectacular. that's now really bringing fruits 30 russia is outstanding and out manning basically ukraine in this conflict, and that for now ukraine doesn't have the resources isn't getting the western support that it's been asking for. and that ukraine's western partners simply don't really understand the scale and the intensity of this was that all these deliveries are just going to be too little, too late. the only kind of little shimmer of hope, our reports, and the last few days from moscow that some of these units might now be taken back into the russian kind of hinterland to take a break to re group and that needs to kind of tiredness and exhaustion. after

months, pretty intense fighting is also being felt by the russian troops now might give care of a bit of a chance to bring those west weapons the front lines and can even things out. but nick, we know that residents have been told to leave the city of slower yonce good becomes just a day after at least 2 people were killed in a rush. an attack on a market there or are residents, are they heating the warning to leave at? are they able to leave? well as far as we understand that the figures all a bit disparate, but the majority of the pre war population of ukraine controlled don't bass bands and have already left in the previous weeks and months. most people have stayed not too far way gone. 10200 kilometers from the front lines. but as you mentioned there about 300000 people still believe to be there. and on the whole we've seen time and time again, people leaving it too late. people saying i have no way to go and have resources. no one wants to host me. and basically people wait until they can hear the shelling in their own homes to leave by which time is often too dangerous and they end up.

either you're losing their own lives or endangered people trying to help them. so this time the government is trying to get in there earlier be more drastic in its warnings or to put more pressure on people to get out to avoid them losing their lives. and also in danger to people who then will be at worst a worst case sent in to help them. so that's the hope now. and definitely an expectation here in care of that more cities are gonna fall to russians before ukraine is able to turn the tables in to start going back into counterfeit dec or very only quarterly believes tonight from keep in ukraine. nick is always thinking europe is sweltering under one of its earliest and hardest heat waves on record. so i had to say climate change is driving unseasonably high temperatures. tonight we take a look at how some countries are trying to adapt coming to terms with global warming that is here to stay blazing fires and scorching

droughts. in the face of rising temperatures, european nations are looking for ways to adapt to this new normal in spain, a combination of extreme heat and dry conditions sparked the outbreak of forest fires across the country. the june heat wave drove temperatures above 40 degrees celsius in multiple regions as high as 14 degrees above the monthly average nestled in the arid heart of the country, the capital madrid sweltering in the unseasonably. brutal heat trees like this one here are being brought in as a savior because madrid is building a green belt around the city. this means basically that of trees are being planted in the gaps that are between already existing parks and forests. and this should help to bring down the temperatures a bit, up to 4 degrees actually, and the planting half of a 1000000 trees. this should have an effect as an air condition and basically just

a very gigantic one. but these searing summers are not limited to the sunny south of europe, with high temperatures expected to arrive earlier. and last longer. countries in the north also being forced to adapt in brandenburg germany. a lack of rain is posing a serious challenge for farmers. years of drought have baked the already dry soil, making it even harder to store the water necessary for growing crops. this farm and brandenburg is counting on regenerative agriculture to help it withstand route and soil erosion. regenerative agriculture is all about keeping the soil healthy, and it does so with many different techniques. at this farm. for example, they've implemented cover crops. these are crops that are planted directly onto the soil and help keep it moist instead of just being harvested. now, regenerative agriculture is not going to solve the problem of climate change,

but it can help make farms like this one and brandon bird more resilient to heat and drought in the years to come. for countries across europe, these approaches are helping to mitigate the effects of an ever hot a world. but mitigation alone will not be enough to solve the global challenges posed by climate change. ever more, i want to turn out to carly new home and hopeless. she is a physical oceanographer at woods hole oceanographic institute. she joined us this evening from lisbon in portugal. caroline, it's good to have you with us. before we get started, i would like to share with our viewers a map that shows the position of high pressure systems in the atlantic. now it's named after and it's located around the azores is, are islands belonging to portugal. we see that right fair off of the, in the atlantic way off from the coast of africa, your team, which is just published research in the journal nature g of science and concluded

that unprecedented changes to that high pressure system are impacting the climate of western europe. so talk to me about what role does the as your high pressure system play in our weather? yes. so there is as high as a sub tropical high pressure system and an important climate feature in the north atlantic. the size and position of the a's us hi can steer the path of rain bearing weather systems from the north atlantic on to europe during winter time. and for example, the iberian peninsula receives large portions of its n winter rain falling on during that time. and when days high is unusually large during winter, it essentially blocks the passage of rain bearing weather systems and dry conditions reside in the iberian peninsula. on the other hand, for the north, a stock stronger storm track i. e,

that preferred path of rain bearing low pressure systems take over the north atlantic that is strengthened further north. and that means that at the northern british hires in scandinavia can expect how conditions during winter time. and what changes have you recorded the mean? what are you seeing, or are you seeing these, the impact that you just described? yes, indeed. so we've looked at the, the size of the esau's high over time. how that has been changing in instrumental data. so station data that was taken across metro, logical stations all over europe over the last 150 years or so. and we found that over the past century, the number of extremely large a's os high events during winter time has increased significantly since 980. it's actually to do with right, 3 times more likely to have such an extremely large, a source high during winter. then in the previous 100 years. we also wanted to put

this into a longer context, 100 years. it's not that long in a climatic context. and so we've gone to climate models, simulations, and that may extend these records bank about 1200 years. and we found that the number of extremely large 8 high that we've seen during the last 100 years is actually really unusual in the context of the last 1200 years. at no time during the last 20 years, we see that many extremely large a's os high. and so that's a pretty significant change to previous conditions. and currently to are you convinced that these changes that you'd seen are the, the result or the anthropogenic or the, the result of human activity. so the climate model simulations allow us to actually tease apart different factors and how they've contributed to changes

in the is always high. so we have a series of simulations some that just isolate the effect of natural variability. for example, where can interruptions are the effect of solar variability, or the effect of greenhouse gases, and what we've seen and when we compare the number of extremely high a sauce extremely large is us high events during winter time. that only those simulations that contain anthropogenic greenhouse gases show this a rapid rise that we've observed in the last 100 years. so the common model nations indicate that natural variability cannot explain this increase in the number of winters with extremely large a's os high. but greenhouse gases can physical oceanographer, carolina woman hope for we appreciate your time. your insights tonight is

a sobering assessment, but it's good. so i just want to explaining what's going on. thank you. thanks for having me. ah. the son feminists festival in the spanish city of pomp lona, has returned. after the coven pandemic forced its cancellation for 2 years running celebration kicked off with the traditional firing of a walk. it knew that $10000.00 revellers gathered in the mean square into rapture. the mere problem says this year's party is the most anticipated history after the close of high eaters. daily running of the bulls starts on thursday. if you do, the day's almost done. the conversation continues on line. i'll see you tomorrow with
