spain and portugal, italy, and in greece. for a week, wild fires have raged across southern europe. several firefighters have died in the line of duty, and thousands of residents have had to flee their homes. it isn't 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 b know has 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 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. let's check on the situation in france sar. correspondent lisa lewis is in paris. lisa france is bracing for record temperatures today too. what's the situation where you are? well here where i am in paris, we have about 3435 degrees, but we will reach between a 38 and 40. later on this day, actually half of the country will reach 30 to 40 degrees to day,

and the government is warning that people should stay inside that they should drink a lot. they shouldn't do any intense sport and everybody's obviously thinking of 2003 when you look back, that was a very, very intense heat weight at the time. and at the time, more than 19000 people died here in france. the authorities want to prevent that and they took that with that from happening again. obviously they have gotten ready . they have teams on stand by that are checking on the elderly, especially days that live down and my view for one psych she france feeds a bit like great written the main topic here is no longer food. eats the weather and people are asking me, lisa, what is your floor? can you go to? what is your master plan to withstand the heat? and my answer to that is water. and this, that thing, a handheld fan to actually lisa, about the, the wild fires that are burning in the south west of france. they force thousands

of people to evacuate or firefighters, anywhere near getting those blazes under control news. well, it is a very difficult situation for the more than 1500 firefighters fighting that these fires down in the south. 14000. hector's heb already burned to the ground. in the 5 boxes are reporting that it's very difficult to get the fires under control. because wind keeps changing, and a low temperatures are likely to drop by about 10 degrees tomorrow, right. and they are struggling and they're hoping for the weather to calm down in order to get this heat and the fire under control, people are leaving some people hot coming back from the holiday, which is, you know, he is the holiday season as across europe. and you know, they're catching sure to the holidays because it's of the very dangerous sound that they have to move elsewhere at this time. so thank you very much and try to stay

cool or correspond at lisa louis, they are in paris. well d, w correspondent, nicole reese is in madrid and gave us a view of the situation from their well, it's really all hands on deck because wherever you look right now in the west, in the south, in the north, in the east, there are fires and you never know when the next one is happening. so it's a very quick situation and it's very difficult to tackle these fires under these conditions. we just heard there that temperatures that are unusually high, like up to the mid forties in some areas. and there's also wind and it's very dry, so the firefighters really have all of their stuff on, on the ground trying the best. actually, we just received some news that 2 of the bigger files in the west of spain, annex the mother might be under control. that would be good news because these files had been there for almost 5 to 6 days now, and they have destroyed

a surface of at least 10000 air hector's. now we're looking at a total damage this year of tens of thousands of factors of our natural reserve and also obviously some, some parts of the villages are affected. so this is a whole big scale for this country. we have wildfires in summer. yes. but this surface at copernicus that you program with the satellite actually they're saying it's more than 100000 hector's, i think is quite unusual. also for spain. and there are news all the time about the dangers of this job of the firefight as to just yesterday to confirm the death of one of them. he got tracked by the flames while trying to tackle them to day. we received the news of a shepherd in one of the regions who unfortunately, also has been killed by the flames. so we're not gonna, we're not sure when this is gonna end because temperatures are gonna slightly dropped for a few days now. and maybe this helps, but they're going to go up by wednesday again and i think we are looking into very

long and terrifying summer, terrifying several sprains used to hot summers. but this, this seems to be particularly intense at the moment. this heat wave, how're vulnerable people, they're dealing with it. well, these are the people of honor, a people, but also other people who are most at risk because the heat affects the hard. it affects the brain, it affects the kidneys. so any normal function that you usually need or is, is being jeopardized somehow. so people need to stay in the shade they need to cool down or they need to see the medics as soon as possible if they have any issues. of course, um, this is how they tried to cope with the tears in is used to higher temperatures because as i said, it's a long heat wave. this is the unusual part, the seat weights get more extreme. they get longer, their one face of the climate crisis and they make the perfect feeding ground also for these fired fires. so in terms of being save, i for myself will shut everything down so no sun comes into my flight to more or

less stay cool. that's what you can do, but i can feel it on my body. i have difficulties or sometimes i'm and breathing or just, you know, being somehow agile because the heat is really drowning you. and this week alone, last week alone, we look at at least 360 people who have died in relation to this heat wave. and this is probably also, it's going to to northern regions now. and there's gonna effect people much more because they're not used to these temperatures and it's humid climate. there's well the call. thank you very much. sure. that was our correspond. nicole resear in madrid now to ukraine. ah, the good countries president blunders lensky has removed too hot officials fallen investigation takes place into allegations of helping the countries russian enemies, the chief prosecutor and head of state security were running agencies where staff stand accused in 650. 1 treason and collaboration cases was still been

bullied don't in his nightly address to the nation. president vladimir lensky delivered a bombshell put up with 2 of his most trusted officials, suspended for failing to wheat collaborators. hundreds of subordinates charged with treason, but he monthly such an array of crimes against the foundations of the states national security and the links recorded between ukrainian security forces. officials and russians. special services raises very serious questions about their respective leaders, urinals liberal bang, w bohemia, getting each of these questions will receive a proper response. now liz moleed to day, i have taken the decision to dismiss the prosecutor general and the head of the ukrainian security service, assuming a wholly suitable was playgirl, great. even by kind of a child and friend of the lensky headed the s b. u ukraine's powerful state security service meeting of an antique tova was serving as the country's prosecutor general. she led the investigation into russian war crimes that followed from the

atrocities in places like boucher and helping ukraine has long suffered from russian infiltration of his state apparatus. since the start of the invasion, politicians, officials, and ordinary members of the public, i've been arrested on suspicion of being spies of sabotage. this latest crackdown is the most severe, yet hinting at the scale of the problem with russia targeting ukrainian cities on a daily basis. the fear of russia's 5th column is ever present. so reports of treason seeping through ukraine's top ranks. i asked our correspondent honeypot john keith, how big of a shock this news is it is really shocking, terry. i mean, we're not only talking about 2 top law enforcement officials, but actually very close allies of president savanski ever since he swept to power in 2019 and he was working with these a 2 officials. they were the ones at that vo to route out corruption. but when he

comes to, obviously, the situation in which this country is in today at will be rush hour rather rush yet will with ukraine. this is where exactly you need these people that are spearheading the security apparatus of ukraine. and these allegations that appear at the, in their offices. several cases, hundreds of cases actually according to zelinski, of potential treason appear to have happened. these are things that are coming in as time where domestically actually a very, very clear and strong unity is needed in ukraine to fend of the aggression and a daily aggression that there is from russia. he comes at a very delicate time, if it proves to be true, but it also shows a level of weakness on the ukrainian security apparatus. the people believe is much stronger, so people here on the ground, really wonder how that even possible, that if this was the case, russia could in full infiltrate these very important agencies,

security agencies that ukraine does have a huge security apparatus of funny when we're looking at 650 cases right now that have been reported by ukraine. is this just the type of the iceberg? how deep does this go? well, obviously the next question that people propose in the ground is exactly this. just how many people actually support putin being here in ukraine and, and how big is the support when it comes to presidents lensky? but when he comes to pools ukrainians, president as lensky still has a very, very huge support, more than 90 percent among ukrainians. of course that doesn't exclude that there are people who still dream of the time of the soviet union that ukraine was part of or even of at the time and press dent, dental coverage in 2014 was also than what's it had in this country. but oh, on the overall level, and no country is homogeneous, of course, per se, but on the overall level ukrainians to pull presidents zelinski at. as a result,

of course, they are shocked to find out that apparently a certain figures within the security apparatus, but also within the a state, a prosecutor's office, have a committed truth and now we also have to mention, however, zelinski also said that apparently around 60 officials possibly have committed these crimes and the 6 the officials are out base the scatter, their own offices in pro russian control a territories. so some people here on the ground say maybe they didn't really voluntarily committed to prison if they really did. but they're forced to do it regardless what really happened because this is an ongoing investigation. certainly it cons at a very, very difficult time in ukraine. why the country is a bracing for a renewed offensive by russian forces. thank you very much. our correspondent honey pot. you are there in chip despite ukraine's outward show of strengths and resilience. frontline troops suffer not only physical wounds but also psychological

ones. dw nick spicer visited a treatment center in the countryside outside the capital, kia that help soldiers recover from both kinds of war injuries. armando, so rifleman alexi ship jenko worked in construction before the rushman station. within weeks he was on the front lines in the east, under constant massive artillery fire. he says he would fall to the ground for cover take out his phone. and amid the deafening blast swipe to a photo of daniel, his 7 year old boy, back in the capital. the bundle as there was though, is for the lose of what was going to school. i looked at my son before going to bed and understood that if the russian soldiers were not stopped where i was. but they could reach key again, was little buddha. what is the, what i thought of my boy and asked myself, will some one else raised? my son is it? paula's wallace? yeah. winnable never loved alex. he didn't want to go into details, but we'll say he suffered a concussion and had a nervous breakdown. he is one of

a 150 patients of the rehabilitation center who's location we were asked to keep secret. so it wouldn't be targeted with some supper from post traumatic stress, a psychological problem, and others from traumatic brain injuries damage which can be caused by the blast, way of explosions, symptoms for both include suicidal, thoughts, depression, insomnia, demand or articles a door slam or firecracker can trigger, the terrifying feeling you are under fire again. alexey is here for 3 weeks of psychotherapy group discussions, walks and massages. he says he'll abide by the doctor's decision about whether he should return to battle with going on with the us over history. soldiers returning from war have described often feeling a sense of stigma from society, an inability to understand where they're going through an em rejection of what they're feeling. but that's not all the case here in ukraine, according to the director of this institute. and when he had on the we believe in victory in the power strength and experience of our soldiers,

who every loss will be in the heart of every ukrainian nozzles. i think that helps them of course. now. ok, the belief that we are here yet, the more you standing behind them and show that there are people who respect them immensely and are proud of them as a chain of provision. it is very important for them to know about this and we constantly tell them we're seeing them horrible, pristine. so it is one killed one to but it is maxime is in explosives expert and has been fighting since 2014, when russia annexed crimea. and parts of the east he likes looking at the murals at the center to lift his morale, that he suffers from combat related stress. this, that a lot of toys on here with working with psychologist helps along with a person is whole which as arms and legs, it does not mean that everything is normal with the person. so put up his psyche is to stir wells metal shy of successmaker. maxime says he is burdened by many

memories, like when his men moved into a town just occupied by the russians who had shot people attached explosives to their bodies and buried them. this was a whore, them, a citizen ridgewood heard from the old one of the woods this most people who wanted us to work faster, walter or so they kept asking us to go from one yard of to another. no, it took us 3 days to clean all the yards and gardens. in this village, cyril huddled. we were lodging. we found a total of 5 buried bodies of food that were booby trapped. there's no fitted emissary, especially maxime says, his men call him every day. they want him to come back, he says he knows it will be hard to return. but that he must. earlier i spoke with ukrainian psychologist arena frank, whoa, who is currently living in the netherlands? i asked her how many people soldiers and civilians are believed to have suffered serious trauma and ukraine so far as

a result of this war. good afternoon and thank you for having me today. so basically on one hand, exposure to a traumatic experience is a part of our daily routine. so each 2nd person face threatening events during the life. but on the other hand, we know that a secondary drama through social media is a well known phenomena. so it's important to talk not about the number of exposed to traumatic event, but those who will stay resilience. and i would say that of course, it depends on their population. civil population are less vulnerable and soldier. so 1st responders, medical doctors, more vulnerable and we're talking about 10 to 20 percent. so this is a huge problem when it comes to helping ukraine. we often talk about the military aid weapons and whatnot. but what about medical support? mental health services should ukraine's partners be doing more?

do you think to help in that regard? i think her ukraine partners should do their work and we mental health professionals will do our work. and since the alaska 1st lady of ukraine is leading now, a program of mental health support, i believe that stigma will decrease and the number of professionals will increase within the ukraine. what are the most common psychological problems? the trauma victims in ukraine are dealing with i would say it's sleep problems, nightmares. and so many memories of traumatic events, but as well a level of anxiety and situation problem as well as long as come on and do some neurotic symptoms like obsessions and compulsions, especially children. it, we see it's on a daily basis. now working through trauma takes time and it needs or it

requires a secure environment. how difficult is it to provide that environment with the war still going on? i would say that priority during ongoing traumatic experience is to optimize survival actually and to it. if it means that we should help people to adjust to the current reality in the best possible way, both for civilians and soldiers. and then we might think about trauma treatment, but not right after the trauma. please mind that we have to wait because during the 1st 3 months, those symptoms of traumatic stress might just on disappear because of a natural phenomena of recovery. now, many ukrainian families have been torn apart by this war, women and children leaving when husbands have to say good bye to say was had to

stay behind. how was that affect the psyche of the soldiers fighting in this war? that separation without her, it's from a personal communication with soldiers, knowing that families are in safety. works even better for them to protect the country, knowing that children and 5 and parents will not be affected by this war, helps them actually to fight. thank you so much for that. that was professor arena frank cobra traumatic or traumatic stress expert. joining us there from the netherlands is like some other stories making headlines around the world today. you foreign ministers have agreed to provide further 500000000 euros and military aid to ukraine. this decision comes as they meet in brussels to discuss tightening sanctions on russia. they are trying to enact
