weather events in the future. the summer skies are blotted out by smoke, as wild fires burn across southwest europe. in france, portugal and spain, high winds and dry conditions make tough work for the fire fighters. several of whom have died. battling the blazes. thousands of residents have been evacuated in all 3 countries. hello, mikayla. we haven't slept all night enough to have a social worker came to see me and pick up my elderly uncle. emily, i'm able to make it up. we spent the night in a nearby town, but we didn't sleep at all on look. and among them, you know, i don't either even away from the fires, there's no relief from the heat. a wave of record breaking temperatures has killed hundreds and spain where thermometers have hit 45 degrees. to compound the misery soaring energy prices mean many are forced to choose between keeping cool

and their bank account. i thought i thought maybe at voice, all families have to be frugal when using air conditioners and electric fans. because electricity bills have surged. we'll teach him on whether agencies say it won't cool off for days. authorities are urging people to drink plenty of water. stay out of the sun and to check on those at risk. did of the correspondence? nicole ease in madrid told me more about the fires in spain. well, we have a several of wildfires that are really huge. one of them is just 40 minutes away from my log. you can actually also the pictures online where you can see it from the beach. that's huge. smoke coming up, we're talking about roughly 3000 people that have been evacuated and 2000 and texas that are in flames. but it's even more severe if you go to the west to extra madura where it has been a fire for days now. and it's raging through landscape, but so far already burned around $7000.00 hector's. and that's just another fire.

just below that, that has popped off for the south west. that is also very frightening. hundreds of people have been evacuated firefighters and the emergency aids that are on fire yesterday just told me that they're really exhausted, but they're doing everything they can. what obviously with the wind and the very high temperatures and that region the next month where you're looking at around 46 degrees, i've been that on wednesday, it's very impossible at the moment to really get your grip on these planes. yeah, it definitely sounds via but experts wanting there could be hard days. i had so how are people trying to deal with it? well, this is the 2nd time this year that we having a heat wave and it's not in the normal range of heat waves. you know, the 1st one came very early in june. the 2nd one is last thing for already a week. it might cool off a bit at the beginning of next week, but we're looking at maybe then here in madrid,

38 degrees instead of like at the moment in the shadow. it's around 40 degrees. so it's just just a little bit of pulling off my tail for the fires, for the people that might have a well we tried to set up a life just earlier with you guys thought it was not possible because of the heat. so we needed to switch locations, go into the shadow, and that's what everybody needs to do. you need to go into the saddle, you need to stay and you need to put, you know, your plot in the darkest place ever. you're sitting in the k basically during the day or where the air conditioning and the thing is summer's now. 5 to 6 weeks longer than they used to be in the eighty's and heat waves in the past 10 years have doubled also in length. so it's quite a struggle for the body. and now we have just also received some numbers that 360 deaths just in this current keep waves here in spain. so it's really taking a toll on the body and on the life you heard of people, i really don't know how i would have dealt with that me, corey's thank use ukraine says russia is using

e captured nuclear power plants to store weapons and hit targets. the national nuclear agency says hundreds of russian troops occupy and as up what easiest sites in south east and ukraine accuses moscow of using the plans as it base to shell the surrounding region. one of the alleged targets is the city of den, april the government ledges. this video shows a russian strike. original governor says 3 people were killed in reasons these thousands of people died in attacks and areas are correspondence and expires. lane keep told us more about this situation or does up what he's our plant . well, it's europe's largest nuclear power plant, with 6 reactors inside of the soldier. some 500 soldiers had been there since close to the beginning of the war, which you are getting reports of heavy artillery shells shelling and possible rocket attacks coming from the plant according to ukraine's director of atomic

energy targeting. to need pros, you said were some people have been killed as well as the town of nicki paul, which is just across the denise pro river where there is a bit damage to civilian buildings. there are pictures of that on the government's telegram channel. the local telegram channels and look, i mean this is a situation where you have an inability of ukrainians to repost to fire back, because they could set off a tr noble style meltdown a disaster that couldn't actually be dealt with in war time. so it's a grave concern, and that's why the director of ukraine's nuclear agency called the international atomic energy agencies to get involved and to inspect the situation. but they won't do so while there are russian troops there. so the ukranian minister i've been talking about has says they have to stop walking a tightrope and do something about the situation. here's what's confusing. some people russia was focused on its efforts and these things ukraine, but there have been reports of attacks across the country. recent days,

what seems to be moscow's game plan here? yeah, it's a big picture wise. moscow has been shelling an awful lot. 50000 shells a day, some days. but since the beginning of may, they've only taken 5 percent more territory and they haven't been able to take parts of the don bass region, which they plan to with the speed with which they intended to simply because they don't have the manpower to do. so that's why they said they're going to have an operational pause. we know their units are, have been disbanded decimated, they've got to put groups of men back together and teach them to work together. so the answer as it were, for now we'll just continue shell and continue shelling and, and hitting civilian targets. it's hard to see what the military objective is. of course the military targets as well. but so many civilians being injured is in the words of united nations human rights people, you know, a war crime are possible work or you can't have that many civilian casualties in a war. you're not targeting properly. yeah. date of use and expires. i am keith.

thank you. let's look at some more stories making headlines around the world. so long as parliament has begun choosing a success. that's what the deposed president caught up by roger poxy. lawmakers will select a new leader to serve the rest are present access to him. he fled into exile mass protests. he wrapped up by the national economic crisis. prime minister on yield, rick are missing, is acting as intern precedent. lawmakers in not macedonia, have passed a deal in that settling disputes with all guerria to make way for the membership talks. the proposal includes amending the constitution to recognize the barbarian minority in exchange for gary, i will allow copier to start talks with brussels. the head of germany's biggest show has resigned and exhibit with anticipating elements from said the organizers of documentary, se being showman is stepping down by mutual agreement. issue takes place every 5

years. the city of us president joe biden has wrapped up a visit to saudi arabia. for a security and energy summit by then told arab leaders, america would maintain its commitment to the middle east in talks with saudi crown trends. he also raised the matter of journalistic jamal cash. for the u. s. president, meeting with gulf leaders in saudi arabia's capital. he laid out how he sees america's role in the middle east. becoming clear to me how closely interwoven america's interest or successes. normally, we will not walk away and leave a vacuum to refill by china, russia we're will seek to build on this moment active principle mercury leadership. it was

a clear message to gulf states who have gradually seen us disengagement from the region. notably the withdrawal from afghanistan, but biden also signalled washington remains a dominant player when it comes to the most pressing threats to global security. the war in ukraine, china's growing influence, and preventing iran from getting a nuclear weapon. and saudi oil has been a driving factor with the u. s. looking to shore up its supplies and bring prices down, especially if it can replace russian energy. but the summit was overshadowed by bite and criticizing saudi arabia's human rights record. in particular, the killing of journalists, demarco shoji, the saudi foreign minister swiped back the conference, responded that her this was a painful episode for sunray, been that it was a terrible mistake. the idea that one can impose values on other countries are his 100 made clear,

it does not work. it has not worked. when the u. s. tried to impose values on afghanistan and iraq, in fact, it backfired. biden wanted this trip to reset and repair, longstanding diplomatic relations as well as persuade gulf states to pump more oil and gas to the u. s. saudi arabia has agreed to a limited increase daily oil production. biden's trip can perhaps be seen as only a partial success are now joined by did of the correspondence currently not sure. my in washington, hello carolina. now based on all that, we know how successful or not was a trip for biden. well, he definitely could have done more m, and if we focus on his main concern and that was increasing or talking to saudi arabia in order for them to increase the o protection m one can say that by it. and it's really not bringing anything as

substantial back home the press release from the white house, for example. they mentioned the opening of sardinia of saudi aerospace to civilian aircraft flying from into israel as a big success. yes. am, or the fact that saudi arabia agreed on doing everything possible at the scene at the truth in yemen. but let's not forget that the main focus of fight in, during this route was indeed the old production from saudi arabia. the white white house communique says the united states has welcome the increase in production level, 50 percent above that. what was planned for july and august, and that these steps and are going to to, to, to better the situation and the crisis we are in right now. but the truth is that the organization of the petroleum exporting countries, the, i'll pick a pick plus countries they agreed already last month to ramp up all protection this summer. so prison and buy them in a way is coming back home without a immediate deliverable on oil production. also bite and raised concerns about the

meadow jamica shall g with the saudi crown prince. but after that, it seemed business as usual. could he have done more there he definitely could have done more, but that was not his focus. and that is precisely what he said before he started this trip. he said he is going to focus on national interests on u. s. interests during this re a trip and what we have been seeing here is as a big you turn in biden's foreign policy and a re calibration of his relationship to saudi arabia. but he has not focused on was human rights m organizations a claim he should have done. like for example, i'm not talking just not talking to the prince because he's been seeing as a murder for many of these organizations. he w correspondence. carl, you're not sure more in washington, many things. as a reminder of our top story,

southern europe is suffering e record break in heat wave firefighters in spain, france portugal, in degrees of bottling, destructive forest, pleases. the heat has killed hundreds of people. thousands more have had to leave dell and annette. sure, dw documentary, looking at how stream weather events might developed in the future. that's more coming up at the top of the hour. go to our website, d, w dot com for more and also visit our social media platforms. the truth ah, school is establishing an older and she gene ping, president of the global power china. any criticism of his regime, isn't it in the bud.
