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. oh yeah, mikaela. we haven't slept all night enough to have a social worker came to see me and pick up my elderly uncle, emily unable 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 did that 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 with tc mall whether agencies say it won't cool off for days. authorities urging people to drink plenty of water, stay out of the sun and to check on those at risk. ah correspondent, nicole rees 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 la guy. you can actually also their pictures online where you can see it from the beach. there's huge smoke coming up. we're talking about roughly 3000 people that have been evacuated and 2000 hector's that are in flames. but it's even more severe if you go to the west to expedite my laura. but it has been a fire for days now and it's raging through landscape. it has a so far already burned around $7000.00 hectares, and there's just another fire just below that that has popped up further in the

south west. that is also very frightening. hundreds of people have been evacuated, fire fighters and the emergency aids that are onside 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 in that region, and remember where you're looking at around 46 degrees. i've been there on wednesday. it's very impossible at the moment to really get your grip on these planes. yeah, it definitely sounds severe, but experts are wanting, there could be what are these i had. so how are people trying to deal with it? well, this is the 2nd time this year that we're having a heat wave and it's not in the normal range of heat waves. you know, the 1st one can very early in june. the 2nd one is lasting 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 at 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, it might help for the fires, for the people, it might help us. well, we tried to set up a life just earlier with you guys, but 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 in, you need to, but you know, you're flat in the darkest place ever. you're sitting in a cave, basically during the day or where there's air conditioning, and the thing is summer's now are 5 to 6 weeks are 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 of people, i really don't know how i would have dealt with that me, corey's thank use ukraine says russia is years in a captured nuclear power plant to stall weapons and heads targets. the national

nuclear agencies, as hundreds of russian troops occupy and as upper asia sites in southeast, in ukraine, and accuses moscow of using the plant as a base to show the surrounding region. moscow has ordered its forces to step up the attacks while most fighting is taking place in the east. russian missiles are also hidden cities behind the front lines destruction in the central ukrainian city, ne pro, where a russian missile has left a gaping hole in a residential street. ukrainian officials say 3 people were killed and 15 wounded dog local epistle without a windows were sealed with duct tape. if you had, when the shock wave came, some shots of glass still hit me. i was slightly wounded. and on my left side, i live in the political navy brokerage near garcia where the street is home to the used mush. industrial plant or russian defense ministry says the factory was

producing parts for ballistic missiles, making it a legitimate military target. both everybody got a little running a little earlier. look good out that there was a strike just around the corner. you next to use my showing that i saw a video already use you. smash was on fire and they were explosions. usually, many fled after the attack. the pros, mayor urged residence on facebook to leave them saying it was dangerous to remain to who you've in ukraine's ne, 3 people were killed in a rocket attack here. local authority, say a school in several homes were hit. a factory destroyed in the harbor, city of odessa, forward to the west, away from the front military experts predict an increase in russian strikes as the war of attrition grinds on. as i got some more stories making headlines around the world, so lancaster parliament has begun choosing the success out to the post president caught up by out read a box or lawmakers will select

a new leader to serve the rest of the boxes. he fled into exile as mass protest raptor by the national economic crisis. prime minister, vanilla reclaimed missing, get his acting as in turn, president, lawmakers in north macedonia. have passed the deal in that settling a dispute with guerria to meekly for the membership talks. the proposal includes amending the constitution to recognize the barbarian minority and exchange bog area . what allows, here to staff talks with brussels. he was president, joe biden has wrapped up a visit to saudi arabia for a security and energy summit. but in told arab leaders, america would maintain its commitment to the middle east, in talks with a saudi conference. he also raised the matter of the journalist jamal cash oxy. milwaukee. 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 zone becoming clear to

me that how close lunar woven america's interest or with the successes will we will not walk away and leave a vacuum to be filled by china. russia were 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 bite and also signaled washington remains a dominant player when it comes to the most pressing threats to global security. the war in ukraine time has 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 it's 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 jernace demarco shoji the saudi foreign minister swiped back the conference, responded that to her this was a painful episode for sunray. beyond 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 us 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 washington correspondent, carly, not shim roy told me,

biden has not got much to show from his middle east trip. well, he definitely could have done more. and if we focus on his main concern at that was increasing or talking to saudi arabia in order for them to increase the o protection. and 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 civilly, of aircraft flying from and to 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 fighting during this route was indeed the old protection from saudi arabia. the white white house communique says the united states has welcome to increase and 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, i'll 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 cheat 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 interest 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

a full cost on human rights organizations. a claim he said task 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 his organizations. he w correspondence guardianship way in washington. many things. the head of japanese biggest actually has resigned after protest over an exhibit seen asked unties the med take. the crisis around and documented has gripped the art wild issue, takes place every 5 years in the city of castle months. after the controversy erupted the head of documentary abena shore mon is finally calling it quits. the arch shows supervisory board says it reached a mutual agreement with shore mont to end her contract. the mural by the indonesian artist collective terran patty prompted outraged, because of its anti semitic depictions, such as a jew with fangs and

a forked tongue document. organizers were slow to react to protests and criticism from politicians. at 1st the images were covered up, but later dismantled anti semitism, expert maryland mendo ended his collaboration with the art show after his advice was ignored. he said sure, months resignation was overdue. chauffeured. thus he is us, as i know not, i hope this spring summer leaf. and from this moment on, we can move forward and work through things and change them with a view to the future when we do meet the black not phone, and that will allow document to close on a positive note. and september the compton september. germany's cultural commissioner, also batch 4 months departure. it is correct and necessary to come to terms of how the exhibition of anti semitic images came about. so we can take appropriate action regarding the art exhibition. the city of castle on the regional government say they will review the way document is run, but 1st they need to find
