[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah, this is dw news line from berlin were leaders gather for climate talks in the german capital as europe welters in a record heat wave,

while fires burn across the mediterranean and hundreds die in the extreme heat. also on the program loaded mirrors, the lensky suspends you cranes, chief prosecutor and his head of state security. as hundreds are investigated for a legit week. helping russia and a damning report, find systemic failures, preventive police and texas from stopping one of the worst school shootings in us history plus a nationwide state of emergency comes into force and for longer, the acting president says it's essential to maintain order and safeguard vidal supplies ah, i'm nicole for like it's good to have you with us from southern spain to northern brittany europe is sweltering, an extreme heat wave, the temperatures and high winds are stoking massive wildfires across several

countries and signed to say these extra ordinary events highlight the already very real consequences of global warming. blazes have destroyed property and vast stretches of forest and france, spain and portugal, italy and greece. hundreds of people have died in the record. breaking heat and forecasts are, is worn. there's little prospect of any respite. the u. k is not known for hot weather, but this week is proving exceptional. huge crowns are heading to the beaches to spine travel networks. also feeling the heat in britain average temperatures in july or in the twenty's se anything approaching 30 counts as a heat wave. with the mercury now nearing 40 and extreme heat warning is in place even for the north of england. volkoff to say on tuesday, the u. k. all time record of 38.7 could be surpassed.

to be honest and mutual, to just to see the brutality of the heat that we're expecting tomorrow is quite astounding. and it does worry me. a lot of my colleagues here in the back office that they sort of president, it could be a regular current orient. britons are not used to extreme heat. so officials are advising the public to take sensible precautions outdoors, in particular, take measures to be hydrated, stay in the shade. now, do all the things that you would think are all the sort of things you might do on a very hot day on holiday overseas health experts are reminding people that extreme heat can be dangerous. we have that balance where we might not see very much good weather and we want to enjoy it. but we're talking about temperatures that we've not experienced in this country if ever, never mind for a long time. our bodies, our houses are culture a way of life. it's just not geared for it. train operators have lowered speed

limits, fearing the heat could walk rails with it, and that's disrupting services. and for them to lead to day after day robin looks like i might not get back to to, to day because of the heat. and i won't get back to model new trends tomorrow. while some are preparing for the worst, i'm choosing to say i'm cuz i don't want to get public transport because it's great going to work. air cons on putting it still going to get home. but others are taking the heat in their stride. is this stuff and get excited about it? if it breaks, it ain't that the weather is it didn't know what else to talk about. do we really? and many or ologist scott duncan joins me now from london. scott, welcome to the shell. temperature records are being shattered all over europe. why is this happening? says

a particular severe heat wave that's been kind of brewing over spain and portugal and also north west africa or last few days, really. and it's been hot there for actually quite a while, even through me, and it's been drying out of the ground. we've been intensifying the heat over iberia and then the perfect weather set up is there just to then start listing that north through places like france. and in the case we're just starting to see just how hot this air masses as it lifts north. so basically we've got an extreme weather event, but given that the long term warming of our planet, this sort of thing is just easier to break records. now the, our planet is in deep warmer at, let's talk about the role climate change plays in all of this. how. how is this be exacerbated by a planet that is becoming warmer and warmer shot? well, it maybe says more simple. if you just think that the planet warming or halt source is places like north africa, even through spain, portugal in france that there, there, warmer the sea surface temperatures are also very warm across mediterranean. and

when we start to lift those air masses north, across europe, then they're more likely to be on the halter side of what was considered normal in the past, for example. so it's just easier to then exceed these extreme thresholds. so as the planet warms, not just in europe across the world, higher temperatures are just more likely to fall. how worrying are these extreme weather events? well, we're seeing more and more of them so that the combination of seeing these extreme heat thresholds not just being broken, but sometimes completely obliterated by quite large margins. we saw that in canada last year. we've seen japan, but he records this year, no western europe sit under the bull's eyes the go through today and tomorrow. so obviously he's very concerned to see these temperatures, not just here in western europe or across the world and is kind of just bringing into light was kind of possible. and once we get the extreme weather pattern, just to show us who are new claim it is late than we, we do really start see the impact on society. let's talk about the wildfires most

of course, also something that people are all over iraq are very worried about at this point. are we likely to see more of those and could they also spread north as the heat has done? so actually that was one most important things, but this heat wave is it's been very hot and dry for a very long time. even like early is may we start see very strong and normally heat building mediterranean from been super dry portugal, spain as well. so that's actually helped intense by the heat in this he wave and basically made it effortless for the heat transfer its way north as well. so when the visitation is dry, it can drive well, it drives though, and it can burn faster and harder when it does catch fire. obviously it's not the heat, that's triggering the fire itself. but when you gave mission, fires can just ramp up and then blaze a lot faster and stronger than it did, perhaps in a cooler claimant where you've got it, we're precepts to holding in the surface. so these extreme temperatures are kind of manifesting. so and enhancing the fire risk. so even in places like u. k, you mentioned further north,

we are seeing some while far as we had the actually early last week we had some truck saved fires with some buyers as far as north yorkshire. and while fires are not completely unheard of in our part of the world, but to get them on the scale of what we're seeing, the mediterranean is also something that we're not accustomed to. and i'm sure with the speed restrictions on public transport cautions for taking. we could have bigger issues, but yet further north getting wild fires is, is not unheard of, but that is something that could be increasing with a warming planet. right, scott, duncan meteorologist and lenin, thank you so much for this insights or europe's heat wave has brought added urgency to international climate talks currently taking place. here in berlin, un secretary general antonio terrace, is urging rich countries to keep their promises to help poor nations deal with global warming and its consequences. they are here to build trust, the foreign ministers of germany and egypt. the 2 countries are co hosting the 2

day climate conference to prepare for the next big un climate summit in november, germany, selina b i book says countries need to redouble their efforts to hit climate targets. dick lea, mark, he's a mats and the climate crisis does not stop at any border. and the climate crisis is now the biggest security threat to all people on this earth is being bad. and so we will only be able to tackle it together. he came back his them up because the climate crisis does not stop at any border. the response to it must not either. we must intensify our joint efforts. intensive young officials from 40 countries gathered for the summit to disgusting, focused on fighting the increasing impact of climate change. addressing the conference in a video message, united nations secretary general antonio gutierrez, urged rich nations to keep their pledges to supply funds to countries hardest hit

by the climate crisis. excellencies visit to be the vector of the sizes climate fiction. that means thrust multilateralism and collaboration. we have a choice, collective action, or collective suicide. it is in our rooms. hope so high that the conference will lay the groundwork for a successful un climate conference in egypt. this fall leaders of germany and egypt are co hosting this conference and gave a news conference after the 1st reunion. our political correspond, nina hossa was there. well, they covered lots of ground, obviously, but the egyptian president is here also to attend those climate to summit preparation talks. and of course, both countries have talked a lot about the implications of russia's war on ukraine, on their respective countries. now egypt is feeling rising food price is extremely heavily. it's. it used to import lots of it's weed from ukraine. that's no longer

there. and germany sees egypt as one of the partners with whom it can potentially and diversify its energy supply. so egypt to day again stressed that it would be willing to deliver gas to germany and we're hearing that both countries are working on that very intensively. and that that might happen very soon. now a look at the latest on the war in ukraine. president volota mirror zalinski has suspended the chief prosecutor and the head of state security over allegations of treason within their organizations. he says they failed to lead out employees who collaborated with russian forces in occupied areas working against ukraine. $650.00 lawn force and officials are facing treason charges. believe them also been bullied double unless our goal, i'm to robin bargain. i gave a member of the german parliament for the green party and is currently in cave. mr . wagner, you've spent the day speaking to m p's and the mayor of keith. how worried are they

about the danger posed by ukrainians, aiding and abetting the russians? you've crossed the danger is sir present in the city and it's, it's very disturbing to see a city with a kind of sometimes a norm of city life like it could be in berlin. om uniglobe harris and then around the corner we see the preparations for volume kia and some kilometers for him. from here, the horace, in a boucher and european, we have seen that. and of course it's, it's totally necessary that we as the western community and also we as germany, is supported cream against this russian war of in elation. and this came totally clear from all the partners we spoke with here from parliamentarians from members of government. and also from the mail that germany is necessary and that would be very good for us to provide either they have to provide the hope on the way to european union, which was one of the topics we've talked about integration partnership. but in order for that to really work, we need to have ukraine defend their existence,

and that means having them military me yet from what you are hearing there. do people think the international community is doing nearly enough to help push back the russian aggression actually what we heard is that modern weapons that have been delivered in the last weeks really make a difference on the better feel. like multiple rockets, launching systems. they are really helpful for ukrainians, but there are not enough of them so there is a necessity to deliver more and then we heard about. so just so i wanted any kiddos on the way to a better feel because there is no protection on the transport. so definitely better also necessity that needs to be provided by western allies. what are you in particular after you've been there after you have spoken to people think should be done and by, by your country, by germany in particular. yeah, i think we should definitely do 2 things. the one thing is to have your crane on

its way to europe in union membership with integration partnership on all levels on municipal level, on level off the federal state of the state in germany, and also on national between ukraine and germany. this is the one thing, and the other thing has to do as much as we can to supply ukraine. odds with heavy weapons, which the one to talk voted on in 2 motions. and we should look every day for possibilities to support ukraine as much as we can on that you're traveling back to germany right after this interview. what new insights about ukraine, about kids, and about the situation. the people you've met, will you be taking home with you? yeah, we would, we would take this picture of a city that is definitely a european city. and one of us with us in the city that is in war here and the country that is in walk and that it's up to us to support ukraine because they are fighting for democracy and also for our various and our safety as well as it's

necessary for us to defeat the rest of the aggression in ukraine in order not to have it spread all around other countries. so these are the messages that we take from, from here, and we'll spread them as much as we can in talking in german society. and he's a member of the german parliament for the green party. thank you for your time and have trouble. thank you. and let's now look at some other stories making headlines around the world today. the european union has signed a deal to double natural gas importance from there by john as a block steps up efforts to find non russian energy suppliers rushes opponents. they moscow is increasingly using natural gas as a weapon against the e. u. in response to sanction is gone has confirmed its 1st cases of highly infectious marburg, virus. 2 people have died after becoming infected and dozens are in quarantine. there is no treatment for marburg,

which is part of the same virus family as ebola. malaysian authorities have seized elephant tusks, rhino horns and other animal parts worth nearly 18000000 euros. a contraband was on a ship coming from africa. some people believed the animal material has medicinal properties. swedish or an american pop artists class oldenburg has died at the age of $93.00. after moving to new york and the 1950s oldenburg won a claim for what he called his colossal monuments. giant sculptures of every day items installed in cities across the u. s. united states lawmakers have sharply criticized the police response to one of america's worst school shootings in texas. house of representatives says a lack of leadership may have contributed to the deaths of 19 children and 2 teachers in the city of humanity. family members have accused authorities of trying

to cover up police failures, nadisa kill and agree to sleep, or. this is how lawmakers in texas described the police response to the you body school shooting that claimed 21 lives security video footage short, heavily armed officers standing by for 77 minutes. ah, even a shot, sang out the investigative report, released sunday, set close to $400.00 officials present, feel to prioritize rescue efforts over their own safety. moody person. 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. try the door handles, try to going through the windows, try to distract him. the report on so focused on both 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, spell the taxes. but there is one question that should be on the forefront of their minds. what if the gunman never had access to an assault weapon? i'm up here because i'm, i'm begging you to make a change. nobody sits here and thinks about this things because 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 date a gun noise. although congress did g act to decent mass shootings by adding restrictions on guns is the new duluth would not have stopped the shooter at your body. an 18 year old with no reported history of violence. you are all the more reason these protesters see with that stricter action is needed. now gunshot wound

to that. let's keep talking about this with data. leah corresponding mikaela cook now who's in washington? we had the preliminary report, a test, a systemic failure by law enforcement in the response to the attack. what are the biggest shortcomings that have been identified so far? to put it in a nutshell, the biggest salt coming is that there was also a chaos just minutes after the attack that there was no real leadership and that the offices who arrived at the scene didn't adhere to the most basic principles of the own. the training that they had received, and this led to more than 5070 minutes passing, it led to utter confusion over whether they really are victims still at risk. and there were moments that were shared on the body counts that were released over the weekend. some officials released them against legal advice of doing so, including the mayor of alda at that show that there was

a sense of complete surprise that this was not a suitor who had barricaded himself inside the school. but who was actually in a classroom with children and even then precious time still takes away until that was help for these children. and while the report says that there was no medical evidence that lives could have been saved by acting much faster, it did appear just logical that that indeed was the case. the report also reveals that the attacker was known by some of his peers as school shooter. at what else did investigators find out about him? yes, this goes back to reports by people who befriended him, particularly online that he had a fascination with school shootings. but he also googled words like sociopath. some felt that he was an angry man that he potentially had issues. there might have been some sense of recognition of that he lived with his grandmother,

whom he sought and wounded before heading to the school, where he was a former pupil and there were reports that he had experienced bullying there for at the school. a previously having said all of that, none of these individual elements really lead up to any kind of investigation him really sticking out because there was no political motivation or no religious motivation behind that. that would have raised alarms. how has this preliminary report been received by the community in you valley where people are, of course, still grieving, or the father of a 9 year old killed in that attack called it disgusting. that is a huge sense of still grief, of course, and frustration that the police would have failed so terribly at all levels, including at the federal level that the whole oversight mechanism didn't work. that

there really was nothing to protect the children of that community. and that also means that these a relative certainly won't rest. this is an interim report a by lawmakers this so more is to be expected, more potentially will be revealed. and i would only expect this to be the beginning of a potential legal challenge to the authorities. although not necessarily to individual offices that because that's also something a one finds in the report, that there was no sense that there was malice or an in ill intent. but that was just simply a chaos that shouldn't have been gun rights advocates in the u. s. off and say all it takes to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. presumably in volley, there were 400 good guys with guns. how is all this being perceived by those who say guns are necessary for personal protection? well they just received

a backing for that theory because there was a shooting, of course, in the indiana in a shopping mall where several people were killed. but it could have been a lot was unless a 22 year old who happened to be sitting there having dinner and pulled out his own gun and stopped that attacker. so that is the counter example, but it's just simply apparent that lots of guns and few checks on those who purchased guns, particularly young men who seemed to be the main perpetrators in the shooting, simply cannot be a good idea. this is a highly politicized tough for here in the united states. we can keep that in washington. many thanks. for long as acting president has declared a national state of emergency, he says it's essential to maintain order and safeguard vital supplies. ronald weak

roma sanjay took over as interim leader when his predecessor was forced out by mass protests over the economic crisis. he could be confirmed in office when lawmakers elect a new president later in the week. for minority baba, sorry, the goals these asia in the heart of colombo has become a 2nd home, a lecturer and social activist. she has been involved in the action from the start prior to they say, all st. pete asked actually then v ways out. i threw social media against the guitar badge a box, and the government would criticize it and bar post in some post. and it was of the writing for the newspapers. but actually understand that not enough i said in because of bending me understand and we need to do, we need to do some more than that minute he has seen the early protest grow into a mass movement that ultimately pushed president,

go to bear roger boxer and his brother's out of power, the trigger for the demonstrations was the economy crisis that left people scrambling for essentials, such as fuel looking gas medicines and even food the future cause of she lancaster, politics and governance is being charted right now in the parliament. what people want is a new government and a leader who can pull them out of this financial crisis and bring an end to the daily struggles they have been facing for long. roger boxes exit has left a political vacuum. people are cautiously optimistic about what might come next. with the, with the system change, we expect we expect some sort of stability, some semblance of stability to reassured in hollywood that remains or remains to be seen. but we have hopes they have to establish trust, sir, that, that baby to resolve a beer seeker needs,

we don't know when electricity is coming. we don't know when next. full shipment is coming up. be, are tired like as, as people are tired of like looking into these failed leadership with this change or for the political leadership which caused most of the cows industry in the country. i hope ah, a new set of leaders, a new vision and a new country. new people can be solace altogether. but the struggle is not over yet. a minute he still comes to talk to fellow protest is about to be forward struggling to continue because the thing is still not i'd still not find a solution for the issues from this country. the government need to understand and gamma need to address that. so to drifted, yes, we are still continue to spread it minute. he says she has grown as a person and has formed lasting friendships. she knows there's a long road ahead and
