worse. also coming up around president posts his russian and turkish counterparts into iran. we will look at what their aims might be and how we could impact the force of the war and ukraine plus another russian missile strike on a kid. you premium port officials in odessa say several people were injured over night in an attack that could further complicate, getting ukrainian brains out of the country to feed the world. and the u one is ramping up. it's response to getting aid to millions of sri lankan hit hard by the economic crisis. ah, i'm sarah kelly. welcome to the program. the climate emergency is making itself felt across europe. record breaking temperatures are fueling wild fires,

burning out of control across hughes, waves of france, greece, portugal, spain and italy. many of these areas are also suffering severe drought. the heat wave has now moved north east reaching as far as the united kingdom. many places are sitting temperatures far higher than they are used to surpassing 40 degrees celsius in some of these areas here in europe. now the conditions have cost hundreds of deaths, including several people killed by wildfires. in spain. spain is on fire with more than $70000.00 hatches 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,

ado fortunately, he was able to make an hour was scape 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 forced to evacuate. many, no, they will have little to come back to the particular sharon, we know for example that our house is completely booked, but we also had a van, are you still traveling a lot. we bought the van when i retired and all the stored use pushed yeah. we have nothing from galaxy. chavez, picket visiting affected areas. next from

a dora spain's prime minister petro sanchez, said, climate change was to blame for the devastation you said al, is that i want to see that evidently climate change kills other persona. it gives be bull gills. article system was the land biodiversity, or just them on with that beauty. but she that in france, 2 authorities are struggling to deal with record breaking wildfires in the south western gerald region. 2 fires have already been 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. earlier i spoke with a rental labrador with the world meteorological organization and asked him about

the role climate change place in these extreme conditions up, well, what we know is that evidence suggests that the severity frequency and duration of heat waves a success her bated by climate change so we tend to see heat waves happening more often being longer in duration and having a more extreme temperatures. and they used to before the 195960 so it probably ease than your 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 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 the air quality and eventually public health more broadly. walk us through why that is okay. yeah, we have already a very good president, 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 pollutants in 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 elza is a known long irritant, and 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 a scientists have been carrying out for a number of years. they suggest that we'd 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 when extending to wait, that temperature ah, record temperature highs are increasing and record temperature lowes are decreasing mostly across the world. in particular, in western europe, dosa i, heat waves are becoming far more prevalent that they used to do 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 meteorological organization in geneva. we appreciate it. let's look at some other stories making headlines around the world. turkish president, wretched tie, a bear to one has once again threatened to freeze the nato membership is of sweden and finland if they do not keep promises on counterterrorism made last month. turkey has accused both countries of being havens for kurdish militants. the united

states, however, has played down arrow to one's warning. questions from the european union has agreed to open accession negotiations with albania and north macedonia. the stuff comes after bulgaria and north macedonia resolved a dispute over language and national identity. this had also stalled albania status . as the e you treated as part of a package. on former british finance minister re she is to knock has widened his leave in the race to replace orest johnson, his prime minister. a finished 1st and a lot latest round of voting to determine who will become conservative party leader . conservative m p r, knowing the field to 2 candidates this week ahead of a party wide vote in september. about 13 prisoners have been killed in a jail in the ecuadorian city of santo domingo. ecuador government has attributed ongoing violence in its prisons to disputes between gangs over control of territory and drug trafficking routes. rushes 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, where you see syria is on the official agenda. but putin and heir to want are also expected to discuss a un backed proposal to resume exports of ukrainian grain. millions of tons of grain are stuck in ukrainian ports, threatening a global food crisis. and middle east analyst, hama reza as easy, joined me earlier to tell us more about what's behind the meeting in iran. then basically there's 2 different aspects to the meeting. one is more bilateral, in terms of buy that's from russia and, you know, i'm so keith relations and also rational working in that and that level, there is a more political stuff to discuss. you know, for example,

as far as you don't on russian are concerned, there is a kind of why the 2 sides to show a kind of partnership, confirmation situation that, you know, both parties are under, you know, why do it? and there is another level which is basically related to the form on, you know, format of the meeting. and that levels are basically soon on, on russia, 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 trust in your chain. and that's the reason for example, that on like some countries like yes, you know, has refused to recognize the independent status of donors. no homes can accomplish, for example, or even crime. ian iran has been careful to keep a distance from the russian position, whether of course it rush. 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 science on there. you know, in order to prevent, for example, the app on 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, especially. ok. ok, 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, the one i'm using, the cordless movie shows in the us in order for the course to territory. so that's why i said on the other hand, when i saw down there was a long in order by us, you know what you see on compromise. so the shore norm, that's those areas are not going to be used by a very important points that you know, the city army reserve,

i was going to turn on today also. so if things goes as planned while you're on them, there might be a compromise where this is something that, you know, of course, and also hoping for middle east expert as easy. thank you so much. thank you for having ukraine authority say that a russian missile attack on the southern city of odessa has injured at least 6 people, including a child, a spokesperson 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. some 22000000 tons of grain remain stuck there because of the fighting and earlier funding for char, who is in t f, told us about the timing of this latest odessa strike. well, you really wonder, actually, how is it possible that turkey and russia is supposed to talk about grain expos,

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

if you really want to unblocked wide, 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 u. s. is helping quote, to stabilize the situation. on the other hand, of course, if you look at the fact that 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 country offensive develops because it both the ukraine and under russian forces. i basically, i each other along that frontline,

which is about 1000 kilometer long from the northern eastern part to the south. it's a long frontline, and you would 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 here that are desperately needed by the ukranian army funding, the char and key. thank you. after the beginning of the war, thousands of young ukrainians left civil society to join the army and defend their country. hundreds of them have since been killed. he is emanuel a. chaz reports on the young people fighting for their country's future. aah! every day at 9 a. m, the traditional song, please catch us. sounds of a my down for one minute. after the you are my down resolution of 2014. it was play

was one of them. he was killed in june, the hard copy of his and ukraine. his death was one which affected the entire nation. he had been a star of the euro. my down protests when just a teenager, today's politicians recognized. he could have had a future in shaping the country. the past growing joy. hughes was representative, all duration war in griffin clinic utter again the death of a man and i totally east felt as a loss for his entire generation. the entire nation remains defiance. even though the small hus costs ukrainians, parts of their future. ah

said this war has made the youth a patriotic one and has made our nation proud, proud that this generation was born little lives and will restore ukraine. this will do and now we turn to some other news because in sri lanka, there are millions of people who are in dire need of assistance due to the ongoing crisis. the united nations is playing a central role in helping those most in neat r u n. team and sir lanka led by risen coordinator honda 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.

been a split within that party. and one of the empties dundas 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 the, 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 ballots cast and very significantly, it is a secret ballad. so anything can happen. wow. how a sri lankan coping with the term wyoming time and the economic fall out, especially you know, still the people now hill, 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 they bitchy 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 back of 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 little bit of fuels so they can, you don't get about that. what? no news, what you mentioned, the united nations providing some help is very welcome here in a country of 32000000. going to very tough guy and i'm ready to cima. with a view from colombo introlatta, thank you so much. soccer news now broke dorman says that there recently acquired striker a sebastian hollow has a to stickler tumor. the tumor was discovered during an examination after the 28

year old had complained a pain ration during a training camp. he was expected to be the main focus of darwin's offence. and now his future is uncertain. he will have further examinations any specialized medical center weren't on 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? well, you know, 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 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, 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 domain will have a revisit to their own medical examination because they had 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 dorman fan base, you know, i'm sure, because they were all rooting for sebastian alleyah endorsement to hopefully dethroned buyer. their 1st game, you know, is later at the start august, august 6,

i believe is a kick off. you know, i'm on the positive side the, our success rate is very high in situations like this. so i do think there's light at the end of the title. hopefully aaliyah makes a speedy recovery and he's back on the pitch in no time and date of harrington davis. or it's thank you so much. if you meantime, germany is philip coaster has been crowned the 2022 wind surfing world cup champion . he beat his rivals in the top spot in the ground, canaria spain. the 28 year old swooped, spun, and failed to victory, feeding brazilian marcia brown into 2nd poster, emerged from the choppy seas with a 6th world of title to his name spain. a ballot llano is declared the woman's champion
