[000:00:00;00] ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin, spain's prime minister says climate change kills as several countries, including his own battle deadly wild fires. a record breaking heat wave is only

making matters worse. also coming up another russian missile strike on a key ukrainian port officials in odessa say several people were injured overnight in an attack that could further complicate getting you framing rein out of the country to feed the world. and the un is ramping up. it's response to get aid to millions of sri lankan hit hard by the economic crisis. ah, i'm sarah kelly. welcome to the program. from spain to greece to the united kingdom . much of europe is sweltering under temperatures. more often felt in desert regent's record heat, strong winds, and drought conditions are stoking severe wild fires across several countries. on the iberian peninsula, alone fires have driven tens of thousands of people from their homes. heat has

killed hundreds more science to say that climate change is turning infrequent extremes into a more regular reality. spain is on fire with more than $70000.00 hetcher's of land already going up in flames this year. residence of this town in the north western province of zamora were battling on monday to stop their homes being next but an attempt to dig a trench to stop the approaching fire almost came to a deadly end for one local man. after his digger was engulfed in flames, gonna do fortunately, he was able to make an hour with skate and was taken to hospital with serious burns . elsewhere in the province, passengers also had

a close encounter with the fires when their train made a brief hair raising stop in the countryside with emergency services battling fires all across the country. tens of thousands have been fools to evacuate. many know they will have little to come back to the particular sharon, we know for example, that our house is completely bond. sure. we also had a van arranged traveling a lot. we bought the van when i retired and all the stored use pushed. yeah. we have nothing from galaxy, chavez, because visiting affected areas next from dora, spain's prime minister. petra sanchez said climate change was to blame for the devastation. you said, oh, that i want to see that evidently climate change kills other persona. it gives people. gills aren't like go, system was the land, biodiversity, just them on with that. beauty will see that in france,

2 authorities are struggling to deal with record breaking wildfires. in the south western jaron region, 2 fires have already burned through more than 17000 hectares of forests. within the last week. strong winds have helped fanned the flames with fire fighters unable to bring them under control. the weather forecasts do offer some hope of respite with temperatures set to drop in western france. as the extreme heat wave moves east and in places like the united kingdom, which isn't built for such extremes, the intense heat is especially dangerous for at risk groups. as this british medical official explains, the way that we've designed our buildings, the way we live, our lives isn't to cope with extremes, whether it's cold or the heat. when it's hot light this, there's a nice balance where we can enjoy it and we go out. but vulnerable people really

struggle when it gets to. it's hot as it is now. we're talking about temperatures of never ever been seen in this country. and for more on this extreme weather, less banging lorenzo labrador. he is a scientific officer with the world meteorological organization. he joins us from geneva. welcome to the program and thank you so much. are for your expertise this morning. to what extent does or excuse me, forecasters are predicting britain could see 40 degrees celsius for the 1st time is extreme heat, the new normal even that far north up. well, what we know is that evidence suggests that the severity frequency under ration of heat waves a successor bated by climate change. so we tend to see heat waves happening more often being longer in duration and having more extreme temperatures and the use to before the 195960. so it probably is the new normal. yes. okay. you know, there might be some people out there who say, listen, i have air conditioning, i can just stay inside for a couple of days. maybe this,

this doesn't really affect me as, as much as, as others who are exposed to the heat. but we understand extreme heat also affects air quality and eventually public health more broadly. walk us through why that ish . okay. yeah, we have already a very good present which is during the 2003 heat wave that affected most of western europe. they were 70000 x's death relate just the heat alone. on top of that, you have like the high pressure conditions that he's associated with heat waves, thence to trap atmospheric pollutant seemed the lowest reaches of the utmost heat where people live basically increasing levels of air pollution. furthermore, the heat loss, the insulation sunshine, tends to be conducive to higher ozone episodes near the ground as well. and low yellows on is a known long irritant n. a can lead to cardiovascular disease as well. so these are just 2 of the extra ways in which heat waves,

kenny back human health. and to what extent do you see climate change exacerbating these extreme weather events? we see that 1st off in the ah modeling studies that the science that the climate change scientists have been carrying out for a number of years. they suggest that we increase enough greenhouse gas emissions the temperature in the atmosphere. we continue to increase basically making these heat waves more extreme longer and more frequent. and we're seeing that to an extent to weight that temperature record temperature highs are increasing and record temperature lowes are decreasing mostly across the world. in particular, in western europe, dosa, heat waves are becoming far more prevalent that used to due to a combination of atmospheric conditions and climate induced um change a human use climate change. thank you so much. i learned a labrador, as i mentioned, a scientific officer at the world media,

logical organization in geneva. we appreciate it. thank you for having me. and now we're going to have a look at some other stories making headlines around the world. the european union has agreed to open accession negotiations with albania and north macedonia. the staff comes after bulgaria and north macedonia resolved a dispute over language and national identity. this had also stalled albania status as the you treat it as part of a package. i'm calling british finance minister we she suna has widened his lead in the race to replace orest johnson as prime minister. he finished 1st and the latest round of voting to determine who will become conservative party leader. conservative m p. 's are knowing the fields to 2 candidates this week. i had a party wide vote in september house roasted water brushes. president vladimir putin is visiting iran on a rare trip outside of russia since the war in ukraine. he will hold talks with

turkish president, wretch of ty, bardon, and iranian president ibrahim, or you see syria is on the official agenda, but the trip could also be used to shore up support for pollutants invasion of ukraine. the u. s. believes iran is planning to supply russia with drones to use in the war. hootin and air to one are also expected to discuss a un backed proposal to resume exports of ukrainian grain. we are joined now by middle east analyst homage, reza, as you see. thank you so much for joining us on the program. what do you expect will come out of this meeting? then basically there's 2 different aspects to the meeting. one is more bilateral, in terms of my, that's from russia and, you know, i'm so keith relations and also rational working in that level.

there's a more political stuff to discuss. you know, for example, as far as your own on russian concerns. there is a kind of atoms by the 2 sides to show a kind of partnership with corporation. the situation that, you know, both parties are under university of i do it. and there is another level which is basically related to the form on, you know, format of the meeting in regards to students. and that levels are basically, you know, non rational trying to prevent a new, a new operation in north and syria. and the 3 parties. you know, having your kind of fresh discussion about zooms of influence. i would say in the country, i want to drill down a little bit deeper into the ukraine aspects because the u. s. says that iran intends to provide its assistance to russia in the ukraine war. what's in it for

ron? basically, there is no evidence as the us also mentioned that you're on is going to provide those loans to be used in the china investor. very important point because there's actually no points for iran trust in your chain. and that's the reason for example, that on like some countries like claudia, has refused to recognize the independent status of donors. no homes can accomplish, for example, or even crimea has been careful to keep a distance from the russian position, whether of course it on russian. i mean if there is something which has been on the rise. so my understanding, i think when it comes to drones, i think it's smaller, it's going to be used. incense shines on there. you know, in order to prevent, for example, the insurgency, you know,

that's my understanding because, you know, i'm just simply established the wrong factory in touch on. so that would make more sense than getting on the wrong thing. response to your train. okay. the meeting, it comes also as president of type one has threatened to launch a new offensive in northern syria against kurdish militants. russia and iran have opposed these plans. is there a compromise expected in this meeting? i've been trying to make it on through my son to 100 a month in order for the course to territory. so that's why i said on, on the other hand, which, when i saw down there was a long in order buying gas, you know? so if you see on compromise, so the shore norm that's those areas are not going to be used by the surgeons against, against you. so, you know, has been trying, i'm, there's very important points that, you know, the city of ministers is going to turn on today. also,

so if things goes as planned, well you know, then there might be a compromise will be something that you don't also force. and also hoping for middle east expert as, as easy. thank you so much. thank you for having and turkish president. wretched type are to one has again threatened to block sweden and finland bed to join nato. meantime, he wants to make sure that they stick to the assurances that they gave last month that they would clamp down on curtis groups, turkey views as terrorists. for some current living in sweden, the future now seemed uncertain. curds in stockholm, or protesting demands from turkish president wretch of ty, a bear to one for the swedish government to crack down on their presents especially demonstrations like this one with a prominent showing by the p k. k. a kurdish militant group officially designated as

a terrorist organization by the swedish government for its armed attacks against turkey . heir to one is threatening to block sweden's pending membership in nato. if it doesn't take action. he additionally claims a deal made with sweden and finland to step up counter terrorism cooperation, and exchange intelligence means the swedish government has agreed to extradite dozens of people air to one accuses of terrorism. the trilateral memo, which is public contains no such pledge, but that's not enough to reassure bruland kenneth, a turkish newspaper editor sentenced to life in prison in ankara for criticizing the air to one regime. kennedy thought he was safe after escaping to sweden in 2016 . as a new life for me, i took a bitter breath and said that or to know the danger, remain behind. but the danger didn't remain behind. in february swedish authorities informed kenneth turkey was demanding his extradition. he had

to testify and says his case is currently in the supreme court. i am just fuels and i couldn't. i just could sites, oblong ridge him on. korea accuses him of many crimes including of being a gullet, nist, a follower of an exiled, religious leader. residing in the us whom air to one has labeled a terrorist. kennedy has found his name on lists of people. air to one says must be handed over before he'll approve swedish membership in nato. but you ever have imagined that you would be in this situation where you feel like your life is a bargaining chip on the movement commercials. i am sure that the sued the system are concerned to put me. i am upon that process, schubert. no, he's not a own since the one leveled his demands against sweden curds who support groups considered illegal in turkey are nervous, even though the swedish government rejects suggestions. it's made any deals on extra additions with ankara. armina koch bava is a swedish parliamentarian with iranian kurdish roots. the turkish government has also called her

a terrorist and demanded she be sent to turkey. even though she says she doesn't support the p k. k. and she's not turkish. people are also very worried about my security on their own security, of course, even in abroad. you know, if you have your name in some list abroad, the can yell statistics, government debt is very dungeon. nato hope swedish membership gets quick approval from allies parliament's. but analyst are, as when says, he suspects heir to 1 may well drag this dispute out as he runs for reelection next june. this plays very well into the turkish narrative. i mean, i think it's an attempt to ship focus from the very high inflation that makes it very hard for people to, to for their revenue life. and also for for the upcoming presidential and parliamentary election. bruland kenneth hopes he won't have to wait that long to

know his own fate. dignified life constance. and for me, if i be put up he's hoping to learn by september that he can stay in sweden. ukraine authorities say a russian missile attack on the southern city of odessa has injured at least 6 people, including a child. a spokesman for the local military administration said that russian forces fired at least 7 cruise missiles from the black sea hitting residential areas and destroying several homes. odessa is home to ukraine's biggest port, and it's crucial to exporting desperately needed grain to the rest of the world. 22000000 tons of grain remain stuck there because of the fighting. earlier i asked it t w, correspond it funny for char, who was in key of about the timing of this latest odessa strike. well, you really wonder, actually, how is it possible that a turkey and

a russia is supposed to talk about grain exports, trying to unblock those ports, or go forward with that while at the same time, a key port odessa is being shout. but by the way, odessa way is unclear just how many people have been injured in that attack is just one of the poor towns that have been attacked. we experience more intense attacks in recent days. michel, i for example, another key port where you also have silos full of it, plants, minutes of tons of grain has also been attacked. so it's really contradictory in a way that in one way, last week we are seeing you, you and secretary general was trying to mediate there between a ukraine, a russia trying to come to terms come to terms were to deal, trying to unblock the ports while at the same time you have a bomb being shelling motor attacks on going. so it is a very, very difficult as situation that there is. and you really do not know what alex is to come because we have seen so many indiscriminate shelling from russia forces over the course of the past week. that you really wonder, what's the aim here?

if you really want to unblocked, why you didn't keep shelling of these key infrastructure, these key ports in odessa for example. and how, how is that counter offensive progressing? are they making any progress? ukraine maintains or claims that really there was a long range missiles to have received from the us is helping quote, to stabilize the situation. on the other hand, of course, if you look at the fact that about one 5th of ukraine is being controlled right now by russia and russia continue with this massive shelling. you really want those weapons that ukraine receives. is it really enough to turn the tide, or is it just enough to stabilize a little bit, but not really able to turn to type in their favor? we have to really see how that contra offensive develops. because if both the ukraine and under russian forces, i basically adding each other along that frontline,

which is about 1000 kilometer long of from the northern eastern part to the south. it's a long frontline, and you really just have to see how that's going to develop depending on how many weapons ukraine is going to receive. you officials yesterday actually agreed again on a 500000000 euro a support they with weapons. but one thing is, what if you officials, for example, pledge to do and the other things how many weapons arrive via that are desperately needed by the ukrainian army funding, the char and key. thank you and hear us and list are, is making news. the european union has signed a deal to double natural gas in courts from azerbaijan, as the block steps up efforts to find non russian energy suppliers, rushes opponents. same moscow is increasingly using natural gas as a weapon against the you. in response to ease sanction russian broadcaster tv rain has resumed operations. months after was forced to shut down its moscow office. the t v station known to be critical of the kremlin,

was taken off air by authorities days after russia's invasion of ukraine. it says it will now be working from studios in lafayette, france, the netherlands, and georgia to sri lanka. now we're millions of people are in dire need of assistance due to the ongoing crisis, the united nations as playing a central role in helping those most in economic need. r u n team. and sir lanka, led by risen coordinator hot finger humvee, is scaling up efforts to respond to the needs of millions of people impacted by the ongoing economic crisis. also in line with the matcher needs and priorities plan. nearly 5700000 people are in need of life saving assistance. in the past year, the price of rice, a staple of the sir lincoln diet, as more than doubled. while the price of wheat flour is almost tripled, reaching unprecedented a high levels and affecting millions of sir lincoln's and dw south asia bureau chief, i'm ready to chima is in the sri lankan capital colombo and told us about

a last minute an unexpected turn. in the path to picking the next president center today was the final day for presidential nominations to be filed in and there was a dramatic twist this morning when the leader of the opposition sergeant prima dasa redrew his nomination from the race. now he said his party was support, other opposition groups within parliament, not dim. now daniel became a single, the acting president, was the kill frontrunner to win this presidential risk because he has the support of the else did president roger oxford party. but now there has been a split within that party, and one of the empties done. alabama says he's not going to be voting for his own party and he's joining the opposition. this means now the risk is going to be extremely tight and done and become a c. i cannot count that you definitely win this election. so be

a couple of things to bear in mind. the election is tomorrow. it's going to be held in parliament. parliamentary members are going to be voting for the president. it is going to be very importantly, not a majority of the empties in parliament, but the majority of the ballad scars and very significantly, it is a secret ballad. so anything can happen. well, however, sri lankan coping with the term wyoming time and the economic fall out especially you know, still the people now here i'm waiting mode. the protest is free. let. they've got one of the biggest things they wanted. they wanted bought a by a larger boxer out of office and he's gone. so they feel there, but she, their 1st major objective. now the a waiting to see what's going to happen next. the situation here is still very dire . i'm standing at the federal station. the energy ministry said that couple of shipments of fuel came yesterday more i expected this week, but just had

a look at the numbers of people standing here waiting to get federal keels kilometers long for people wanting to get a little bit of fuel so they can you don't get involved, i don't use what you mentioned. the united nation is providing some help is very welcome here in a country of 32000000 going to very tough times. i'm ready to cima, with a view from colombo entropy like that. thank you so much. some news in the soccer world now barissi a dorman says that they're recently acquired striker sebastian holla, has a testicular tumor. the tumor was discovered during an examination after the 28 year olds had complained a pain during a training camp. holler was expected to be the main focus of dormant offense. but now his future is uncertain. he will have further examinations in a specialized medical center. we're not in this developing story, i'm joined by chris harrington from d. w. sports. a major blow for dormant,

of course, for, for him personally as well from a health perspective. well, more can you tell us, will you, as you mentioned, he's back in dorm and he's undergoing further medical examinations. they're going to determine whether or not it's benign or malignant. i think that's the big question. some publications are already saying it's testicular cancer. others are, are waiting, i believe, until dorman confirmed that you know, but i was shocked on the way to work today on the train. i read this news and it kind of bothered me that it seemed that door meant, disclose this information before the player and then they follow was saying respect his privacy. you know, i think that this is very a, a quite a to unpack here because he number one, their biggest signing this transfer window. and he came out and spoke during training camp talking about he's been here a few days. he feels great and everything like this. so on the private side, obviously, you know, you want to wish for the best and hope that it is a benign, you know, and i'm assuming that dork men will have

a revisit to their own medical examination because they have to evaluate players before they sign him. and they did that, so yeah, a lot of unanswered questions right now, where does that leave the squad? you know, i just think in terms of alleyah being there, number one, assigning to replace the boots of ale in holland, which would be very difficult to do. now, you know, a lot of question marks because dormant is typically that one to horse with buyer and it with buyers, recent news, you know, losing their major striker. i think that this season more than ever would be more competitive and it's a major blow to the dormant fan base. you know, i'm sure because they were all rudy for sebastian alleyah endorsement to hopefully dethroned buyer. their 1st game, you know, is later at the start of august, august 6th, i believe is the off, you know, i'm on the positive side. the success rate is very high in situations like this. so i do think there's light at the end of the tunnel. hopefully aaliyah makes a speedy recovery in his back on the pitch in no time. indeed,

eric has her intended earliest or it's thank you so much. thank you. you're watching d. w. news fly from berlin after a short break, we will have kick off the w's bundle like a show. stay tuned. if you can, for that and a whole lot more on our website as always, d, w dot, i'm sarah kelly. and berlin, thanks for watching. ah ah,
