for a late you can get much more news on our website. that's to be found at d. w dot com. ah, how much longer can british prime minister boars johnson hold on to power? we posed this question before word. there were the locked down 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 the tightrope between loyalty and integrity has become impossible in recent months. which don't seem to know what i'm doing and this arise. 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 1st recorded case of the sinking ship playing the roster for the job of a prime minister in difficult circumstances when you've had it, but also by that is 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, or is 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 chorus 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 piggly,

able to slide through the tide of situations. but after so many scandals in the past 3 years, there may not be any grease left. johnson's conservative party appears ready to change its own rule, was 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? won't lisa, for an embattled forest johnson. it was a breathing question. time 1st opposition lead a can't stomach, hold them to quit india and slant ministers still supporting him window come through later. the opposition case, donna, anyone with anything about them would be long gone from his, from friends in the middle of a crisis, doesn't the country to the back sinay zet list 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 that enough is enough. i have concluded that the progress starts at the top and i believe that is not going to change, but that's means that it is for those of us in a position who have responsibility to make that change. but the prime minister vow to carry on projected on, on the pipe franklin interesting to the job of a prime minister in difficult circumstances. when you be handed a can also by the is the keep going on that one. it support for the prime minister is also draining away outside of parliament with british newspapers making clear they think his days are numbered according to opinion polls, the public has also turned on him with even a majority of conservative voters. now thinking he should quit done a good job on certain things, but so, you know, he's a, his character i think,

is shown through which don't seem to know what they're doing and this right sources altogether. price is still there. so i really think he's, he's always now the counting the hours that said that with a bloody johnson vowing to back on, it'll be up to his policy to decide just how long he has left are for more now we want to go to london to bring in veterans political corresponded robert hutton, he's also the parliamentary sketch writer for the british, political and culture magazine. the critic, robert, it's good to have you on the program. i have to ask you are a debate. ya, you must be loving. what's happening right now? i'm in london, have you ever seen anything like this? i mean, no, no, you know i, i really don't think i have. i, i mean i've, i've seen the madness all of the madness. the british politics add to deliver. but i don't think, i mean i literally just in the last 10 minutes i,

when i wouldn't talk stays, i came down and he's fired. michael guy who is his living, you know, secretary, who is one of the great survivors all pretty well. it states, one of the, one of these ministers who i, people think, you know, can just get things done and he fired him. because because the re, i was, he told me resign. so it just shows it's, it's madman, it, it's a mess. what do you think this was a question? so what does this tell us then about voice johnson, i mean, he's known to be a political survivor. i mean, why should this situation be any different? i mean, how much support does he really have? and i as it, because he seems to think that it's the voters, the people who gave him this, this big win back in 2019. he seems to think that he still has all of them behind

him. yes. and that is that that is his argument. his argument is, i don't get my authority for all members of parliament. i get my own storage. he from the electorate 14000000 people voted conservative at the last general election 2019. and he says there is 14000000 people, one version conservative. they were both in forest and what they wanted was florida . and forrest is what they should get and thought that his argument. now, the bottom line is that that's not how our system works. the number of people who voted direct to the for boris johnston, last election. i don't have it, but he will be around 30000 people who voted in his constituency. they're the only people who get a vote on a ballot with bars, johnson name on it. so but, but he, he's argument is, they wanted me now he's, he's saying, well, maybe they did then, but they really don't now know all the way everything but,

but that's the challenge. i mean, the bottom line is that the m p 's, you are right in the sense that they sent brittany a parliamentary democracy. ultimately they do have the power to throw him out and he is going to make them do it. and then so that's less a, but let's just suppose johnson does not resign was she had said he's not going to do and he has to be forced out. this can very, will come down to a matter of numbers. i want you to listen to a labor empty questioning him during a parliamentary committee session today, take a listen. so you have a 358, n p. you have now have 32 ministers in p. p. s. s. who resigned? it was $28.00 at the beginning of this meeting and then an additional p p. s will

resign tomorrow. if you don't resign. so that makes it 100, make you to if you include the office, 358 promised 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 these sure that they have enough backing to asked him if push comes to shove, i mean, if the 1922 committee, if they change the rules, if they're, if they allow another confidence 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 benefit 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 shows 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 there are there m. p 's like you and us and, and jonah dollars, 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 thing 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 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 in my case, he's fired, risky. he thinks he can find 20 or people who are still n p. 's,

who will accept job candy each no, absolutely clear. he can no, absolutely you can, and they are all departments have no ministers now. is this is, this is non trivial. it's 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 steve or bill through. you have to go into 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. i mean there's a new education secretary, 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 and go. he'll think he will go. you stay there. he will go. but i didn't think i'd, but he's amazing. they're going to make him he's, he's going to make them make him. and he,

the other interesting threats that he made that committee we saw, you know, this question of whether he will try and call a 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 over the place up. 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 good bye. it's hard if there isn't much left for them here in the city of love, janski's russian shelling as demolished home small businesses and hopes for aging with dignity and security. i looked at other this was 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 the everything it's lost, bought it. i've no income, nothing connected to this city anymore. the stock of worship with water didn't sure . did ye? yes. the coil in the yard landscape for my wife and my daughter who's 6 months pregnant, you'll natalie. be they need to leave here, especially after what happened yesterday. mostly they hit the city center. yes. was it the worst of java? is us law rushes already claim victory?

near by lou hans, now the kremlin is moving the frontline of the war to the front doorstep of dun yest. in the don boss region. 2 civilians died after shelling struck a market and sl of yonce earlier this week. the local government is begging civilians all 350000 of them to evacuate. well to 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 rushing back 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. ukraine's military's continuing the fight. as rushes forces advance laguna or correspondent nick connelly, 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. what's the latest now on the offensive to take? the remaining half was real fair hearing here that russia is on something of a role after weeks spent taking 70000. yes. can huge losses. they took certain that's his citizenship. it's just a matter of days of the sense that they could really be pushing home that advantage that than you 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 that 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 war. and 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 note the kind of tiredness and exhaustion after months. pretty intense fighting is also being felt by the russian troops that 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 a residence or the heating, the warning to leave at are they able to leave well, as far as we understand that the figures all a bit desperate, but the majority of the pre war population of ukraine controlled don bass vance and have already left in the previous weeks a month. most people have stayed not too far away, gone a 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 endangering 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 endangered 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 case 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 connelly 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 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. glazing 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 swelter 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 of it 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. if a more i want to turn out to carlino omen hopa, she is a physical oceanographer at whits whole oceanographic institute. she joined us this evening from lisbon in portugal. carleen. 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 land way off from the coast of africa, your team, which is just published research in the journal nature g of science, has 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 or high pressure system play in our weather? yes, so the a's as high as a sub tropical high pressure system and an important climate feature in the north atlantic. the size and position of the 8 os high 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 annual winter rainfall during that time, and when days was high is unusually large. during winter,

it essentially blocks the passage of rain bearing weather systems and dry conditions resided in the iberian peninsula. on the other hand, further 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 and scandinavia can expect when our 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 a's os high over time. how that has been changing in instrumental data. so station data that was taken across metro logic 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 $980.00, it's actually to truth, right? 3 times more likely to have such an extremely large os 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 back about 1200 years. and we found that the number of extremely large athos 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 is 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 motors in nations indicate that natural variability cannot explain. this increase in the

number of winters with extremely large is, are high. but greenhouse gases can physical oceanographer cover, alina, women, hope for we appreciate your time. your insights tonight is a sobering assessment, but it's good. so i just like 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 rocket at new $19000.00. the rebel is gathered in the main square into rapture. the mere of pomp loan says this year's party is the most anticipating history after the close of high eaters. daily running of the bulls starts on thursday. if you do,

a history of stigmatization and exclusion of religious and political power struggles in the christian christianity wants to come from. that is why christianity use the figure of the gym as a deterrent. it's a history of slender, of hatred and violence. a 3rd of our people were exterminated $6000000.00 jews, like microbes to be annihilated even 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards jews is still pervasive. history of anti semitism this week on d. w. ah ah ah. ah. this is focus on europe. i'm lar babel allah, nice to have you with us.
