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 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 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 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 take you to the u. k. then we'll join the dw corresponded jack park, the farmer air show in the south of england. welcome jack. is it hot there? yes. it is extremely hot here, phil sweltering indeed, it's around $33.00 degrees here,

but across different parts of the size of the united kingdom, it's going up well pass $35.00 degrees, $36.00 at heathrow airport. and the new record has been set in wales at 5035.3 degrees celsius. the hottest day ever on record in a 150 years in wales. so it's very, very hot. there's a red extreme heat warning across the whole of the country. wanted people to say cool to protect themselves and to stay hydrated. right? so the u. k is normally a temperature country, how these record breaking temperatures affecting life looks like we're having a couple of technical problems with her with jack paragraph, the farm bra. asher. unfortunate. we'll move on if there's an opportunity to go back to him. we will now and voice from around 40 nations, a meeting here in berlin for 2 days of talks aimed at addressing the climate crisis

talks are designed to build trust ahead of a you and climate summit in egypt in november, un secretary general, and tony, good terrorist criticize what he describes as the girls addiction fossil fuels. williams that the warming limits of one and a half degrees celsius agreed. in the 2015 paris climate talks was slipping even further out of reach and broken new records. the w political correspondent, thomas sparrow, can tell us will welcome thomas. the german chancellor and egyptian president have been speaking at a news conference, or what have there been say while they're actually speaking right now as your nie a speak. and they have been so far discussing the key topic that actually brought the egyptian leda to berlin as well as other politicians, as well the issue of climate change and how countries can ultimately cooperate together. there is a clear understanding that this is a world wide challenge that countries can only cope with this if they work together

. and that was absolutely evident from what we heard from german chancellor shows that it is also something that they have to focus on when it comes to this important summit that egypt will host chancellor shawl stressing that one of the focus during that conference will have to be on countries that either are already particularly affected by climate change or will be affected by climate change in the short term. it was also about bilateral discussions on energy, how both countries, but also how other countries can focus on renewables, can work on new technologies. hydrogen, one that was mentioned as well. so it's all about this very important topic of climate change, which as we heard today is also very important from other perspective. it's being described as also a very important security challenge of the security risk. and this is also particular importance to the leaders that have gathered in bully and tell us about the german, a government's proposed global protective umbrella against climate risks.

it has to do exactly with what i've just mentioned. this idea that climate change goes beyond high temperatures and it is essentially a security challenge, a security risk. so basically, countries and society around the world will be facing challenges on the short term roles in the medium and long term. and as such, they have to be prepared prepared when it comes to, for example, early warning systems or precautionary plans or something that was also discussed very clearly rapid financing systems for countries that are affected so that they can be helped very quickly indeed that something that germany has been very interested so far in trying to work hand in hand with other countries when it comes to these issues. and as such, it has proposed this umbrella. a big question now is to what extent that umbrella will actually turn into concrete actions and will be taken on by countries around the world right. do. and that seems to dovetail with something that president l. c

. c has been saying that african nations need more support to help the transition to green technology is anton, mitigate climate change? absolutely, but it's not only about how germany or other advanced countries can help countries that are developing or in other parts of the world. it's also about how countries like germany or other european countries can look at examples that are being carried out elsewhere. that could also be helpful when it comes to that transition towards renewables to a more climate efficient economy and so on. so he was also about those discussions . there are countries around the world, including egypt that are carrying out projects that are being followed very carefully indeed by countries like germany that was also part of today's discussions here in berlin. ok, thank you. about the 2 of you, paul, 6 correspondent, thomas power. let me take you back to our deed of the correspondent jack parrot, who is at the farmer air show in the south of england,

where temperatures are hitting a records. and a jack, i was asking you, i before the technology got the better of us, how these record breaking temperatures are affecting a normally temperate country like the u. k, which just isn't used to them. well, so i think they were fighting me. i think our technology, my overheated a little bit, and that's perhaps what, why i dropped i was, we were, as we were speaking earlier. but the reality is, is that this is extremely hot. and the united kingdom is not really a country that has the capacity to deal with these kinds of things. the infrastructure, the transport infrastructure is not prepared for such. he doesn't have the cooling mechanisms, the buildings are not built to withstand such things. people do not have a conditioning in their homes as they might do in southern european countries. for instance, the warning from the government is that everybody should try and keep themselves as cool as possible should avoid putting any undue stress on the transport sector and should continue to try and stay cool for as long as possible to protect. firstly

themselves, but also the health services and the infrastructure in the country. is there any relief in sight whether is that she fell at the moment as they say is riding on sort of $3536.00 degrees centered celsius across parts of the south west. but that will happen to that will be the case for, for monday and tuesday this week. on wednesday, it's predicted according to the met office, which is the a, the, the scientific office that deals with weather in the united kingdom. they say it will drop down to $26.00 degree of it's $26.00 degrees celsius, a much more recognizable probably more enjoyable summer temperature for this part of the world. thank you for a jack, jack, paris in southern england. still our attention out of the yards of war in ukraine president zalinski has removed to top officials during an investigation into alleged collaboration with russian occupying forces. while the 650 cases of treason are being investigated at the agencies run by the

chief prosecutor and the head of state security, also been bullied dawn in his nightly address to the nation. president vladimir lensky delivered a bombshell put up with 2 of its 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, yoga bang, w, 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 all soon in a wholly suitable but playgirl, great. even by con of a child and friend of the lensky, added the s b. u. ukraine's powerful state security service hearing 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 your pin. 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. let's get more from the w. corresponded to funny for shaw aim key. welcome, funny. at more than 650 cases of a ledge, russian infiltration the chief prosecutor and head of state security suspended at this sounds really serious. it is quite serious, but not only on the level that we are speaking about top law enforcement officials,

who on the scrutiny right now. but also these are very close allies of president zelinski. in fact, they had of the security service is a childhood friend of zalinski and the state prosecutor. by the way, the 1st woman to serve in this position, she was really branded here as the face of justice. in fact, the last time i was in ukraine in may, she accompanied the german, 4 minister through butcher, just like so many other politicians before and journalist before she tried to showing. but sean, it's been on other places. look, this is what happened already during the war. these are the atrocities that have been committed, that russia is accused of having been committing in boucher so she was basically requesting help international help to investigate are these will crimes potential role crimes. and now her office and members of her office as stand accused of basically as zelinski says, a potentially being unable to root out russian spies. but as much as this is significant, it is also quite embarrassing actually for presidents zalinski. because the last

thing you want, while being in the midst of a war with russia is to appear weak. but certainly if this infiltration was possible on possible in such a significant level, it also exposes a weakness of your country. something that you clearly do not want to any mean enemy to know about. i'm how deep his problem sought to go. that's a good class yourself because if you look at the history of the s b u, off the security service scene ukraine, it was founded in 1992 ever since in fact, no president since was able to reform the asp. be you in a way that allegations off a misuse of power, all the corruption, all the infiltration could be rooted out. so it's not the 1st time. in fact that specifically the s b u is under scrutiny. however, and as i say, it comes at a time, but ukraine is at war. and the least thing you want is actually trying to see now move to trust within the apparatus and, and see whom you contrast with information. so it comes at a very volatile time,

would actually ukraine needs to pull everything together to make sure that the morale is there, that people do not lose the morale at the front line as russia is regrouping. and he's trying to start a new offensive ended on bus region. thank you for that. i'm a funny for shot in cave. the war in ukraine's to hear a huge psychological toll on the population. an expire has been to visit the treatment center outside the capital key that helps soldiers recover from true romano. so rifleman, lexi shift jenko, worked in construction before the russian invasion of 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 bananas, there was those was loose and what was in was when i looked at my fun before going to bed and understood that if the russian soldiers were not stopped where i was,

they could reach key again, was luther. was that what i thought of my boy and asked myself, will someone else raise my son or is it pauses, policy, or minimal will a looks 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 at the rehabilitation center who's location we were asked to keep secret, so it wouldn't be targeted. some supper from post traumatic stress, a psychological problem, and others from traumatic brain injuries damage which can be caused by the blast. ways of explosions, symptoms for both include suicidal thoughts, depression insomnia, to anger articles. a door slam or firecracker can trigger the terrifying feeling you are under fire again. alexi is here for 3 weeks of psychotherapy group discussions, walks and miss orders. he says he'll abide by the doctor's decision about whether

he should return to balloon when he got, well, no, no us over history. soldiers returning from war have described often feeling a sense of stigma from society and inability to understand where they're going through. and a 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 we believe in victory loop in the power strength and experience of our soldiers, every loss will be in the heart of every ukrainian nozzles. i think that helps them if coronel, cuz the belief that we are here yet. and were you standing behind them a little as shown was there are people who respect them immensely and are proud of them, which i apologize. it is very important for them to know about this. and we constantly tell them we're seeing them horrible for steam. so it is long killed wanted to, but it is maxime is in explosives expert and has been fighting since 2014 on russia, annex 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 sort of worth of toil on here we're working with psychologist helps a long period. if a person is whole, who has arms and legs, it does not mean that everything is normal with the person. so put out his psyche is disturb little's little shy of successmaker. maxine says he is burdened by many memories like when his men moved into a town just occupied by the russians who had shot people who attached explosives to their bodies and buried them. this was a whore, them surrounded her daughter herbs, in the old one of the woods. this local people wanted us to work faster. what of sir? they kept asking us to go from one yard lives to another. now it took us 3 days to clean all the yards and gardens. in this village sill huddled willow lodging a bed. we found a total of 5 buried bodies. the 3 that were booby trapped as assistant 30 missouri

sturgeon. maxine 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 or take a quick look now it's most or is making headlines around the world. you foreign ministers have agree to further 500000000 euros in military aid to ukraine. their meeting in brussels to discuss further timing sanctions against russia. one proposal is an embargo on gold rush, a 2nd biggest export after energy. ghana has confirmed its 1st cases of the highly infectious marburg. virus. 2 people have died after becoming infected doesn't sir. in quarantine, there's no treatment for marburg, which is part of the same virus family as a bowler. new york is open 3 monkey pox vaccination census. the city has seen the most cases in the u. s. a global outbreak is mainly effective, gay and bisexual men, authorities of knowledge there is currently not enough vaccine. authorities in

malaysia have seized elephant tusks, rhino horns and other animal parts worth nearly 18000000 euros. the contraband was on a ship coming from africa. some people believe the animal material has medicinal properties . 3 people have been killed and 2 others wounded in the latest mass. shooting in the united states. government opened fire in a shopping mall in indiana before being killed by an armed bystander. and to report as sharply criticized the police response to one of america's worst school shootings at the report says that lack of leadership may have contributed to the death of 19 children and 2 teachers in validate, texas family members of accused authorities of trying to cover up police failures, i could easily and agree justly pool. this is how lawmakers in texas described the police response to the valley school shooting that claimed 21 lives security video

footage short, heavily armed officers standing by for 77 minutes. ah, even i sought out the investigative report, released sunday, set close to $400.00 officials present, feel to prioritize rescue efforts over their own safety. moody. just that day, several officers in the hallway are in that building, new or should have known. there was dying in that classroom and they should have done more active with urgency. tried the door handles, try to go into the windows, trying to distract him. the report on so focused on poor security measures at the school. but the grieving families of the victims, reacting to the security video as an emphasized another key aspect, jiving gun violence and the failure of existing gun control laws, valley,

texas. but there is one question that should be on the forefront of their minds. what if the gunmen never had access to an assault weapon? i'm up here because i'm, i'm begging you to make a change. nobody said sir and thinks about this things cuz it doesn't happen to them. i promise you, i promise you, you do not want this up to you. i promise you. now, protestors are demanding tight a gun noise. you. although congress did ye act to decent my shootings. my adding restrictions on guns is the new duluth would not have thought the shooter at your body. an 18 year old with no reported history of violence. you are all the more reason these protesters say what for now that stricter action is needed? now gunshot wound to the head. let's get more on this report for le correspondent mckenna kirchner in washington. welcome, mikaela. what else did it say?

well, the really crossing message coming out of this is that there was failure at all levels, reaching back into the structure of the police itself. and it paints a picture of utter chaos. on the scene, almost $400.00 police officers, many of them heavily armed, were alerted, several dozen we saw on the scene in that security footage. and at the same time, a sense of paralysis, a lot of more than 70 minutes. this whole thing lasted just to illustrate of more than a 140 sorts. a 142 rounds fired 100 were fired by the a gunman before the police actually entered the room, entered the scene. and the report concludes that although they don't have the exact medical evidence, there is a clear suggestion that out of the 21 victims 19 of them children,

some could have survived if there hadn't been an hour of nothing happening. it points to us a chaos at the scene and the police at the scene putting their own safety above the lives of the innocent victims. so really crossing condemnation of what happened while at the same time saying that there was no ill will detected. it was the attic chaos lack of leadership and information wider and all those law enforcement agencies likely to face consequences as a result of this report or what we're hearing from legal experts because of the legal situation here. we don't really expect individual police officers, although the interim head of the local police is on leave at the moment. administrative leave right now. what we can expect is a prosecution potentially, of the federal state of texas because of the structural lack of leadership there.

but we don't expect to see individual police officers to face trial over this. and this is sort of scrutiny and indeed criticism of law enforcement usual. well, i think we've seen now an interim report. so there was an immediate urgency into this. and it is, you saw that there is an investigation, but the urgency comes from the, the terrible circumstances of this. and also the body cam footage that we're now beginning to see at which shows those scenes of complete confusion amongst police officers. so there is an unusual amount of public pressure over this, which it is safe to say will lead to further investigation and potentially the state being taken to court. sadly, we've seen a lot too many of these are all sorts of atrocities. so is, is report saying,

but police were there and didn't know whether to go in or they say that or ever say that the police had protocols in place and didn't follow them. they didn't follow their own training. it's a bit of both. and we've also seen that body come foot is that a police officer asking for permission to go into an outside to that could have led him closer to the scene was denied that very permission. so there was a lack of leadership on the scene. and there was bad information with the commander initially believing that they had a barricaded suspect inside the school, utter chaos, which really quickly wasn't to thank you. so is reminder of our top stories at this hour, firefighters across southern europe, a baffling to contain dozens of wild fires fueled by an extreme heat wave. reco
