no country to say we're sad and worried because our mountains are part of the joy of living here, that the lungs of the area are included him to person. and we're also very worried for the residents because their homes could be in danger. it's a very difficult situation locally luminous to and we'll give you a sports stadium has become an emergency shelter for the evacuation. we've just grabbed a few essential than just run really and by that stage, everybody along the street, the calculus was on the move cars and, and on the main street, the will of ambulances and fire engines fires are burning across southern europe, filling skies with smoke, from here in northern italy to southwest in france, where fire fighters have been battling blazes for days. thousands of evacuated residents can only watch on and prey their homes. a sped

12:04 pm
bathing themselves in the ocean. but if you had for the west in the country and expand the fire and even bigger and it's just a new one that has developed. and it's really difficult to tackle them because it has 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 taught. we're already in june very, very early. and he is very unusual. and this gives us a perfect feeding ground, really for bias spread at this pace as well. i mean over 35, it's not little in such a short time in one week just and the actually record can confirm that this is sort of the face of the climate crisis. since the summer has become 5 to 6 weeks longer . so it's dry and hotter and heat waves in the last 10 years have kind of intensified there now, double in length and double in number. and what we experience here right now is
12:05 pm
exactly that. it's way that 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 also 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 freshman, 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 at his 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 are just going to be very hot deed. we've also seen these, these reports of em, hundreds of people having died from the heat. you know this,
12:06 pm
these are pretty shocking numbers. how. how were people coping without information? and how were 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 are 4 people to cope with them. although when you asked in regions like eximada, where 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 death 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,
12:07 pm
and we have nothing else at the moment as apt to it dw correspondent nicole ris in madrid. thank you. well, the heat wave is expected to bring unprecedented temperatures to britain in the coming days. and could break the countries all time record high of 38.7 degrees celsius. authorities issued their 1st ever extreme heat warning several days in advance. and in an interview on sky television, one paramedic implored people to take that warning seriously. but we could see people who are thinking, who available, young people, elderly file people, people living with dementia who really do suffer this. this is a like a lovely day where we can put a bit of sunscreen on and go out and enjoy sweet a meal outside. this is serious. that could actually alternately ending in people's death because it is so ferocious and we're just not set up for that sort of age in

said what it's expecting. no, president zelinski has acknowledged that what even the russians themselves have said, the operational pause is over and they're gonna resume offensive operations. but he said we will ensure we will win and we will rebuild our lives. but beyond that, no indication as to what 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. we're 1000 sometimes 50000 shells are fired in a day destroying towns entirely where ukrainian defenders are hold up, causing them to routine retreat. strategically take up defensive positions elsewhere. perhaps more miss aisle attacks striking civilian targets, although the russians will say there were military personnel within those buildings . so more of the same to a certain extent, harlow. how well positioned is ukraine to defend itself and hold off the russian

advance? make things have changed in the past 10 days with 2 weeks, let's say with the arrival of western weaponry so far, the american high mars precision than mo bile rocket system has really tip the balance in certain areas that they're shooting scoot vehicles. they can fire 6 rockets with an accuracy of one to 3 meters and what the ukrainians are using them for is to take out giant ammunition depots to stop. those artillery barrage is that had been destroying the country, basically destroyed about 20 of them in the russians. had a particular already of really having large weapon depots and not spreading out their artillery shells as other armies will do, keeping them near the rail heads. and so considerable success in the ukrainian side and stuff we don't even hear about. there's an underground, for instance, in hair, san, in that city which is occupied by the russians. but where the people are unhappy about the occupation, russian soldiers will wake up and see handbills posted on the building saying sleep

tight. the high mars are arriving. t w is nic spicer. they're reporting from keith. let's take a look at some more stories making headlines around the world. a cargo plane operated by a ukrainian company has crashed in northern greece shortly after the pilot reported engine problems. all 8 people on board were killed. defense officials said the plane was on route from serbia to bangladesh and that it was carrying 11 tons of serbian made mortar ammunition to fire fighters were taken to hospital after inhaling. toxic fumes. france's prime minister has been taking part in ceremonies, marking the 80th anniversary of the round of, of jewish residence during the nazi occupation. in 1942 french police carried a german orders to arrest some 10000 people. many were eventually deported to nazi death camps. president emanuel, my call is to dedicate a new memorial later today. u. s. president joe biden has wrapped
12:13 pm
up a visit to saudi arabia for a security and energy summit. biden told arab leaders, america would maintain its commitment to them, at least in talks with the cyber crime prince. he also raised the murder of journalist, jamal push up 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. really becoming clear to me how closely interwoven america's interest or successes will we will not walk away and leave a vacuum to be filled by china. russia were, will cease to build on this moment 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'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 biden criticizing saudi arabia's human rights record. in particular, the killing of jernace, jamal kashodi, 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 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,
12:15 pm
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 increased daily oil production. biden's trip can perhaps be seen as only a partial success here up to date here on dw up next report, or meets an academic who swam the whole length of the river danube to highlighted plastic waste. and monica jones will be here from the top of the next hour. in the meantime. you can keep up to date on our website, d, w dot com, from the team here in berlin. take care see very soon with love via banning thing the way. but i'm not going to have to was my own car.
