ah ah ah, this is the dog, the news alive from berlin. i am eddie micah junior, coming up a record breaking heat wave in south in europe. huge wild buyers blazed from 4 to go to grease hundreds of died from the effects of the extreme heat and forecast as want of more to come. also on the program. ukraine, braces for an escalation of attacks on all fronts. as russia orders, it forces to step up the outpatient and how authorities are used in china school with one and up the control people's movements. we hear from
8:01 pm
one lawyer who can no longer get to court to defend lines. ah, hello and welcome europe is experience and another some our record break in temperatures. the north is breezing for a week of extreme heat while south and nations i've already seen temperatures climbing to new ice. the effects of the extreme heat has killed hundreds. blessed when winds have triggered destructive wildfires across port to go, spain, france, italy, and greece. several firefighters have been killed firefighters in spain's extreme, the door, a region faddle, wild fires through the night. at daybreak, military, police and aircraft joined the fight to get the situation under control.
8:02 pm
dozens of wild fires across spain have forced thousands to evacuate fire season has started earlier than usual after an especially hot and dry spring. so now guys that kick wedding down without a doubt at 40 degrees celsius, it's more difficult to extinguish the fire climate change effects. everyone in this area is usually green and cool in summer, but it's becoming very hot like cordova and seville in the south. i saw him avo coronado, my chevy. similar scenes are taking place across southern europe. strong winds are spreading several fires across the greek island of crete. in southwestern france, fire fighters have been battling blazes for days. thousands of evacuated residents can only look on. and pray that their homes are spared
8:03 pm
and an hour from venice on northern italy's coast skies filled with smoke. after a corn field caught fire temperatures throughout southern europe have already hit the mid fourties. and wild fires aren't the only consequence. the extreme heat has led to hundreds of deaths, mostly in spain and portugal. and it's not over yet whether agencies say many european countries will have to suffer through the sweltering conditions. for another week. landon based metra logistics courts, duncan told me why the heat wave is likely to spread from southern europe fat out towards the north. indeed, as you've just seen from your switches there, that we've had intense heat done in the south western parts of europe. so mainly spain and portugal also north west africa with that is basic units start lifting its way north, over this weekend and into early next week and
8:04 pm
a few factors behind it. as mentioned, also not reports been exceptionally dry to the ground is very, very dry, very easy to burn. but that's also good for transporting the heat. and then also maintaining his intensity, always at places like northern france, even in places like northern england and all the way up to scotland for example. so go basically a perfect weather pattern for delivering the seat. also the surface conditions are just primed to break those records. as we said, even higher temperature, as i expected in the coming days, are the forest fires that are happening likely to continue through summer? yeah, we do get wild fires quite regularly across the mediterranean, especially throat summer, but we've seen in the trend it increased the intensity and more kind of white spread nature of these fires, especially in the last few decades. so yet places that experience the high temperatures are more likely to drive vegetation easier and faster to burn. it's not the heat that obviously triggers the fires themselves. but basically when we do
8:05 pm
get mission, whether it's manmade or by natural causes then is something that will then burn faster and harder. and that's what we're seeing across it, not just the mediterranean, but no spinning places further north. i will be surprised if we saw more wild fires, even on the british house, for example, talking about spread into places are the record temperatures just hits in europe or is it a world wide issue? so this is very intense. he absolute for western europe is probably the most intense currently, but we've been seeing several events throughout not just this year, but last the years and for tape there would be breaking record freaking records not by just small margins by enormous margins. and it's not a confined to just europe like last year, for example, in canada, the record breaking eat down there. we've also had intense heat in japan and the last couple of months, which was chattering at long standing and very significant record. so it's not just europe, we're seeing a lot of heat records tumble across where we are seeing cooler weather,
8:06 pm
for example. the southern hemisphere is a land media condition at the moment. salia has be seen record rainfall. it's been quite cold. they're also new zealand, for example, but the, the main emphasis that there are far greater number of heat records falling compared to any of these localized cold records. and this is all part of anthropogenic climate change. so why are people finding it so difficult to cope? please is like the u. k. f. for example, northern france so far away from the mediterranean. we just don't have the same infrastructure in those places that typically get well in the forty's, for example. so 40 degree heat is not the same here, like in london, and it would be in the same building that we live in just to cool down. this thing are not built with the heat in mind. places down in the mediterranean are far more equipped and they build literally everything from those houses, but the roads, the rail, everything infrastructure is built to withstand that he only about 0.5 percent of
8:07 pm
houses in this country, of air conditioning, which is tiny amounts. so basically it doesn't have access to the rest by that we need thanks without explanation. scott duncan, but ologist in london. well, let's get the latest on the war in ukraine. russian missiles have struck industrial facilities in the south and should build in city of miracle life. defend as fear, russian forces are prepare india next offensive. most of the fighting is in the eastern region of duets, which shedding along the entire front line, our next report is from park rusk, is small city in the path of russia's advance digital media yet well, my mother grieving the loss of a son, a lot of me, i'm washing shanker, died trying to stop the russian at vons on his home city of po cost. when the city's mayor has come to pay his respects. if not for the 1st time,
8:08 pm
which in law go many citizens from the done that region went to defend our country . there are many of our guys on the front line. you can have been killed since february 24th. and there are many people who are being drafted now, which i'm longer using with russia for, to slowly gaining ground the war to reaching people's lives here and other ways to indiscriminate bombardment of civilian targets, trademark of pollutants invasion, science, little footed foot by the crane police shows the terror inflicted on po cost residence with the young and able bodied at the front, the elderly have been left to fend largely for themselves. from thanks like these help, the most needy things could get worse. still, the mayor fears that a shortage of gut will make the city uninhabitable once temperatures drop easily,
8:09 pm
but you will even if the fighting stopped where they are now and the front line does move, it will be very hard to survive. here in winter is what you did, you will you wish in florida if the russians advance further, it will full to my attribution to organize the evacuation of the city, adding to the millions of ukrainians. already displaced by the war. are correspondent, next vice i am. keith told us more about the situation on the ground and the likely next stage of the russian offensive. the defense minister of russia. segregation who is said to have visited the front lines where he said that operations would accelerate. and there would be a renew defensive on all of the fronts across ukraine in the next region. the ukrainians have managed to push back a russian attempt to take a key road, going to slip yards, which is their operational headquarters. it's seen of intense artillery showing. show you actually said that the purpose of the renewed offensive is in part to stop
8:10 pm
the ukrainians from firing on ukrainian civilians which is a bit implausible, as the ukrainian struggle to have enough ammunition to actually fight russian soldiers. however, that may be there is a continuation of shelling and rockets landing inside civilian centers up further north in hart keith where the ukrainians managed to repel the russians from the gates of the city. weeks ago. new new reports of miss alice landing in the city and civilian casualties down in the south of the country. the ukrainians are doing slightly better than taking village by village and in the actual city of hare saunders an underground movement. men undertaking operations blowing up railway lines to disrupt the flow of ammunition to the russian physicians. and that is, of course, an important city because it's a step on the way to the crown jewel of the conflict for the russians, which is the port city of odessa. you can president let me so lensky said that there was every intention to take back land that the russians had captured. it's
8:11 pm
