it's burning in france, spain, in portugal, italy, and in greece. for a week, wild fires have raged across southern europe. several fire fighters have died in the line of duty, and thousands of residents have had to flee their homes. now, it is an especially difficult summer. we are dealing with very considerable drought you to insufficient rainfall over the winter spring, and especially dry months of may. and we now have particularly high temperatures but there's another related threat sweeping the region. a heat wave that has already claimed hundreds of lives. temperatures have reached the mid forties for a week in some parts of southern europe. and weather experts say it's moving north

to a place that's never before experienced heat like this. the united kingdom forecasters are predicting temperatures of 40 degrees in england where few homes can cope with these conditions. experts are warning that thousands could die. this is serious. that could actually alternately ending in people's death because it is so ferocious and which is not set up for the soul agent, country. but authority say there are steps, people can take to protect themselves, drink plenty of water, stay out of the sun, and check on those at risk. ellie, i spoke to scott duncan, a mentor ologist based in london. he told me why the heat wave is likely to spread from south in europe towards the not 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 it's 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 its intensity all the way to places like northern france, even in places like northern england, all the way up to scotland. for example, we've got basically a perfect weather pattern for delivering this heat. 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 that trend it increased the intensity and more kind of white spread nature of these fires, especially in the last few decades. so yeah,

places that experience the high temperatures are more likely to drive vegetation is easier, faster to burn. it's not the heat that obviously triggers the fires themselves. but basically when we do get mission, whether it's man made or by natural causes, then he's something that will then burn faster and harder. and that's what we're seeing across, not just the mediterranean, but no spinning places further north. and we'd be surprised if we saw more wealth fires, even on the british isles, for example. talking about spread into places, are the record temperatures just hits in europe, or is it a worldwide 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 partakes there with the 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 and 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 is not just europe. we're seeing a lot of heat records tumble across where we are seeing cooler weather, for example. the southern hemisphere is a land media air 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 little clays, cold records, and this is all part of anthropogenic climate change. so why are people finding it so difficult to cope to places like the u. k. a for example, or northern france so far away from the mediterranean. we just don't have the same infrastructure as those places that typically get well into the forty's, for example. so fortunately degree heat is not the same here, like in london, and it would be in the south of spain, like the buildings that we live in, just don't 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 not just the houses, but the roads, the rail, everything infrastructure is built to withstand that he only about 0.5 percent of houses that in this country have air conditioning, which is tiny m m, so basically it doesn't have access to the rest by that we need thanks without explanation. scott duncan with her ologist in london. let's look at some more stories making headlines around the wild flats, triggered by torrential rain, have killed at least 12 people in the south. the 4 province of savanna, at least $100.00 houses in, comes for displeased people damaged or destroyed. united nations with the agency is coordinating efforts from french residents. manuel mac wrong has been needing common ration for the 80 at the various fee of the round up of jewish residents during the nazi occupation. in 1942 french police carried out german
