it forces to step up their operations and a controversy over anti semitism that's gripping the art world. the head of germany's biggest contemporary art show bows to pressure to step down. ah, i'm pablo foliage. welcome to the program. tens of thousands of people have been forced to flee wild fires as a record breaking heat wave scorches, southern europe. hundreds have died from the effects of the hot weather. the worst hit countries are france, spain, and portugal. scientists are blaming manmade climate change and more devastating forest fires are expected in the coming days. as parts of the continents brace for new temperature records. the intense heat on the iberian peninsula has created the conditions for flames to read more quickly. and fire fighting operations are more

difficult because of wind and low humidity. the fires are wreaking havoc in tourist spots, which had just started to recover from the covert pandemic in me. as a town in the province of malaga, popular with tourists, more than 3000 people have now been evacuated from homes. was go straight to the spanish capital madrid where dw correspondingly called risk is standing by. hi, nicole. good to see. so what's the situation like in spain? we've seen some of the images there and what are the authorities doing more importantly to stop these blazes? while it's all hands on deck, really, you can imagine that hundreds of fire fighters out there just tackling the well. it was 35 that just spreading across pain in different regions. you just mentioned nice cars, which is a big blaze. of course, 3000 people evacuated and very dramatic scenes with people watching of the snow

coming up from the old, directly from the beach and airplanes actually getting water. where the people are bathing themselves in the ocean. but if you had for the west in the country and experimental, go to the fire even bigger and that's just a new one that has, has developed. and it's really difficult to tackle them because it's have been dry for really long time. now we're looking at the way that is there for over almost over a week. now, that was a long, dry, and hot week already in june, very, very early. and he is very unusual. and this gives us the perfect feeding ground, ready for bias to spread at this pace as well. i mean over 35, it's not little in such a short time in one week just and actually record that can confirm that this is sort of the face of the climate crisis. since the 18 summers have become 5 to 6 weeks longer, so it's dry and hotter and heat waves in the last 10 years have kind of, you know,

intensified there now double in length and double in number. and what we experience here right now is exact to me that way, but i have now the experience in the years that i live in madrid, for example, usually you know, you have like 40 plus degrees a few days a year and then it goes down to get a bit, but we hear over 40 degrees or over week, it's long. and this heat wave heading north now where people are not really used to these type of temperatures. so if you have the north of spain and the summer would be a bit pressure, as they say here, and it's not looking like that. some is not over yet. we're in the middle of june line. we still have august to look at and it seems to be that this is just climate crisis and it is highest level at the moment. nicole, you mentioned that there, the hot weather is far from over. it's only july. spain is used to hot temperatures and it is going to cool down a bit, but it's still looks like it's going to be very hot. indeed. we've also seen these, these reports of em, hundreds of people having died from the heat. you know this,

these are pretty shocking numbers. how, how were people coping with that information? and how are people coping in general with the heat? yes, it's quite shocking. it's a 360 people confirmed and just one week this july and june, the number was even higher and it adds up to the picture. the longer the heat waves get, the more struggles there off of people to cope with them. although when you asked in regions like except my daughter was, some us get really high temperatures. people just say ok, it's hot, it's sama, that's what we get here for the summer longer now some of them also when i spoke to them this week, admitted that it can turn into some until october. so people just try to shield from the heat as they usually do that would stay inside with air conditioning and on, but also just tried to drink a lot of water, but obviously it's taking a huge toll on the human body. usually there is one on a desk related to heat waves here in spain and this year it could be even more. so we will look at the numbers at the end of the summer and go figure. but as i said,

this is one face of the climate crisis and we have nothing else at the moment as well. it's apt to it dw, correspond nicole rich in madrid. thank you. let's take a look at some more stories making headlines around the world. torrential rains have had central china causing widespread flooding that is displaced hundreds of thousands of people. at least 4 people have died and 13 are missing and gone to and c schwann provinces. this as neighboring regions are suffering from a heat wave experts a the extreme weather is being driven by climate change. lawmakers in north macedonia have passed a deal and settling a dispute with will guerria to make way for you membership talks. the proposal includes amending the constitution to recognise april gary and minority and exchange will guerria will allow scope you to start talks with brussels. a cargo plane operated by ukrainian airline has crashed in northern greece shortly

after the pilot reported engine problems. authority say all 8 people on board were killed. greek media say the plane was on route from serbia to jordan, and carrying toxic material including explosives, it narrowly missed hitting houses. a ukrainian military official says russia is preparing for the next stage of its offensive after moscow ordered its forces to step up military operations while most fighting is taking place in the east. russian rockets, missiles are also pounding cities far from the front lines. cave says the attacks have killed dozens of people in recent days. destruction in the central ukrainian city, ne pro, where a russian missile has left the gaping hole in a residential street. ukrainian officials say 3 people were killed and 15 wounded dog locally be sold with other windows. the sealed with duct tape. if you had, when the shock wave came, some shots of glass still hit me. i was like

a wounded. and on my left side, i was on a political navy brochure to see him in the street is home to the use mush industrial plant or russian defense ministry says the factory was producing parts for ballistic missiles, making it a legitimate military target vocal or the little runners to look at a little earlier. good out that there was a strike just around the corner. you makes to use my shoddy. then i saw a video to you. he smashes on fire and they were explosions. usually many fled after the attack. the pros, mayor urged residence on facebook to leave saying it was dangerous to remain to who you've and ukraine's ne. 3 people were killed in a rocket attack here. local authority, say a school and several homes were hit. a factory destroyed in the harbor, city of odessa far to the west, away from the front military experts predict an increase in russian strikes as the

war of attrition grinds on. earlier i spoke to d, w correspondent, nick spicer in keith, and i asked him about the next stage of the russian offensive. and whether keith has said what it's expecting. no, president savanski has acknowledged that even the russians themselves has said the operational pauses over and they're going to resume offensive operations. but he said that we will endure, we will win and we will rebuild our lives, but beyond not no indication as to what the ukrainians are expecting. but it's not hard to imagine what will occur. it's already happening. rolling artillery barrage is of the kind we've seen over these past few months where 1000 sometimes 50000 shells are fired in a day destroying towns entirely where ukrainian defenders are hold up, causing them to keep retreats statistically. take up defensive positions elsewhere, perhaps more mis. i'll attack striking civilian targets, although the russians will say,

there were military personnel within those buildings. more of the same to a certain extent. how long? now, how well positioned is ukraine to defend itself and hold off the russian advance, make things have changed in the past 10 days to reflect say, with the arrival of western weaponry so far, the american high mars precision, the low bio rocket system, has really tipped the balance in certain areas there, shoot and scoop the vehicle. they can fire sticks rockets with an accuracy of one to 3 meters and what ukrainians are using them for is to take out giant ammunition depot to stop. those artillery barrage is that had been destroying the country. basically they destroyed about 20 of them in the russians, had a particular already of really having large weapon depots and not spreading out there. are hillary shells into other armies? we'll do keeping them near the rail heads and so considerable success and ukrainian side and stuff we don't even hear about. there's an underground, for instance,

in harrison, in that city which is occupied by the russians. but we're the people are unhappy about the occupation russian soldiers or wake up and see handbills posted on the building. think sleep tight, the high mars are arriving that was tito these next by certain keys there. u. s. president joe biden has wrapped up a visit. the saudi arabia for a security and energy summit, biden told arab leaders to us would maintain its commitment to the middle east in talks with the saudi crown prince. he also raised the murder of journalists, jamal cush algae law had a similar key. 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 closely interwoven america's interest or with the successes, mainly we will not walk away and leave a vacuum to be filled by china,

russia ran will seek to build on this moment with active principle merkel 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, china is 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 supplies and bring prices down, especially if it can replace russian energy. but the summit was overshadowed by biden criticizing saudi arabia's human rights record. in particular, the killing of jernace demarco, shoghi, the saudi foreign minister swiped back the conference responded that her this was a painful episode, was heard rapier, that it was

a terrible mistake. the idea that one can impose value some other countries are his 100 made clear, it does not work, it has not worked when the us try to impose values on afghanistan and iraq, in fact, it backfired. biden wanted this trip to reset and repair longstanding diplomatic relations as was 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. the head of germany's biggest archer has resigned after protests, over and exhibit containing anti semitic imagery. the crisis rounding documentary has gripped the art world. the show takes place every 5 years in the city of castle months. after the controversy erupted the head of document, as a business warman is finally calling it quits. the arch shows supervisory board
