[000:00:00;00] ah ah ah, this is dw news coming to live from berlin, spain's prime minister says climate change kills as several countries, including his own baffled deadly wild parks. a record breaking heat wave is only making matters worse. also in the program,

iran's president hosts his russian and turkish counterparts in tehran. we'll look at what their aims might be and how it could impact the course of the war in ukraine. plus another russian missile strike on a key ukrainian port officials in odessa say several people were injured overnight, an attack that could further complicate efforts to get ukrainian grain out of the country. ah. hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. the climate of urgency is making itself felt across europe. record breaking temperatures are fueling wild fires, burning out of control across huge sways 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 seeing temperatures far higher than they are used to surpassing 40 degrees celsius. in some areas, the conditions have caused hundreds of deaths, including several people killed by wild fires in spain. spain is on fire with molten $70000.00 hacked as 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 on a 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, no, they will have little to come back to the for chicken. we know for example, that our house is completely bowen. i'm sure we also had a van arranged traveling a lot. we bought the van when i retired. novice don't use bush. yeah. we have nothing from got oxygen, chavez, picket visiting, affected areas. next from dora, spain's prime minister petro sanchez, said, climate change was to blame for the devastation. he said, i have a brother. i want to see that evidently climate change kills. but the persona it gives people kills aren't because system was the land. biodiversity,

which is them on with their ability, will see that in france, 2 authorities are struggling to deal with record breaking wild fires. in the south western jaron region, 2 fires have already been through molten 17000 heck, there's a forest. 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. well, that heat wave has now reached the u. k. d. w. correspond at jack herrick is there in london. john, just how hot is it there? it's very, very hot. terry, we where i'm stood here. i said of the target are of london. i think it's somewhere 3637 degrees celsius perhaps. but we are provisionally getting told that potentially

a full record for the united kingdom. temperatures has not been reached at 39 point one degrees celsius. yesterday we saw whales, the country of wales surpass it's temperature record, and it is still predicted to get hotter as we go through the day. theresa. these are really record breaking temperatures for britain never seen in the 150 years. the records have been taken on, on temperatures. that heat is extreme, even for people are used to it, but the u. k. infrastructure is not set up to deal with this kind of heat. jacka, how much disruption is the heat weight causing well at the moment is looking relatively measured. there are a lot of trains that have been cancelled. we know that luton airport, for instance, the runway goes so hot that they had to repair it, that the flights of the massively affected that, and indeed a number of our ports all around the country. now the british government had told people to avoid traveling as much as possible. there is

a red extreme heat warning on for people here. people are being told to look after their vulnerable, the elderly, etc, making sure that they're staying hydrated, making sure they're staying out of the sun, and that, that they're staying in doors where possible. but as you can see where i am, there are a lot of tourists here that, that it turned out. most of them i would say from abroad. a lot of the british people that perhaps would travel around the country have decided to stay put. but people that have made trips here are still, as you say, the country just isn't a quit for this. the buildings are not built to withstand this kind of heat. and the infrastructure is just not prepared for it either. but it is predicted that potentially tomorrow there will be a 10 percent 10 degree drop in temperature. so it looks like by the end of today tuesday, the heat wave will start to abate a little bit terry, in london. and let's get a weather ex washington post in washington, d. c. matthew, thanks for being with us. again,

the u. s. is no stranger to wildfires and record heat house the situation been there really things aren't too bad here right now, but we're expecting temperatures to junkie about 45 celsius over the great plains united states. now we talk about dallas, texas, for example, temperatures, if it a 100 degrees fahrenheit, roughly about 3738 celsius for 13 days so far this mild temperature is really almost record territory here, matching what they're seeing overseas in portugal, spain, in part of the united kingdom when you look at what's happening there in the u. s. when what europe is experiencing right now, what goes through your head? i mean there is, we also saw extreme temperatures in india to not so long or do you see a pattern here? most definitely and sign of the other day. so record do point meeting a record amount of moisture in the air. all this bearing a sign of climate change. let's talk about the u. k. briefly. for example, they're expecting to hear hoary sales. you say one for fahrenheit, which is an all time record there, but the most impressive part with this is that right now, this is

a roughly once in 100 to 300 year event by the end of the century. thanks a human and whose climate change it to be once every 10 to 15 year event made 10 times more likely thanks to climate change. so he waves getting worse, getting longer, getting more severe and having a much higher human impact. now the you do, you think that extreme conditions like this could become the norm in places like the u. k that are really not used to it? that's a really good point. you know, these conditions we're seeing right now in the u. k. might be no place like dallas, texas, or houston, or even phoenix, arizona, but they're most certainly not normal for the united kingdom, only about 5 percent of people there have air conditioning, and 6 percent of people are over the age of 80. meaning vulnerability is through the roof, that's one of the big issues we've seen so far with about 1500 people get from the x and more access mortality. unfortunately, likely. so climate change is causing conditions to outpace our ability to maneuver

infrastructure wise. that's what we're seeing. so yeah, this will become both the norm and we've got to adapt to this. we might need to start putting a c in place that never had air condition before. we might need cooling shelters in places that never had he waves before. things are getting worse for a lot of folks who are on the fringe of how high temperatures get and we're seeing the impacts in real time adapting to these extreme weather events requires seeing them coming. of course, if we don't know what's on the way, it's very hard to prepare for our meteorologist like yourself in climate researchers getting better at predicting these extreme weather events. we most certainly are even about 7 days in advance as early as say, july 8th. we could see the signal for what's called a cut off low essentially, a low pressure system, pinched off the jet stream that would stall with the abilene vanessa. now here's the thing. it's been counterclockwise. meeting the eastern side, it just pumps heat northwards into spain. portugal, france and the u. a. we saw as early as like the 7th or 8th of july,

only now are we seeing those record temperatures? really reeves the u. k. about what? $1112.00 days later. so the fact that we saw this coming is a good thing. hopefully folks took it seriously. the red warning was issued 3 or 4 days in advance by the u. k. met office. though the predictions not really an issue, it's more about how we jump from the prediction to actual implementation of emergency management procedures in really the mitigation. we need to protect folks from episode, likeness, murphy, thank you so much. is always that was meter all just matthew, cut pushy in washington dc. thank you susan, let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world today. european union has agreed to proceed with accession negotiations with albania and north macedonia. and step comes after bulgaria and north macedonia resolved a dispute over language and a national identity. this is your 13 prisoners have been killed in a jail in the ecuadorian city of santo domingo. ignores government has attributed

ongoing violence in its prisons to disputes between gangs over control of territory and drug trafficking. the award winning iranian filmmaker, jaffar pano, he must serve a 6 year prison term. he was sentenced to over a decade ago for creating anti government propaganda. and now he who won the top prize at the belly, another film festival in 2015, was arrested last week in iran's capital, tara russian president vladimir putin is visiting iran, where he's looking to strengthen strategic ties. it's only his 2nd trip outside bratia since launching the war against ukraine in february. he will hold talks with turkish president wrench of time out of want. and iranian president, abraham rising. syria is on the official agenda, but ukraine is also set to be a topic, hooting an hour to one are expected to discuss

a un back proposal to resume exports of ukrainian grain over more on russian iranian relations. i'm joined now by ali photo la nija. he's a and he ran expert, an author of the book, it ran in an emerging world order. thanks for being with us. let's start by talking about something russian iran have in common both or under severe western sanctions . is this bringing them closer together? well, definitely. so, i mean, 1st of all, a closer russian iranian corporation was already on displayed before russia's war on ukraine, but just provided a new twist. the noun of momentum for the bilateral relationship, which is quite as symmetrical for sure. but both, as you said, or under a severe it western sanctions and the iranian so to be part of a new world order. no debt is based on the pillars of russia and china.

so there are trying to get closer even closer to russia. now, after russia's war on ukraine, so we're looking at great power rivalry in this matrix, militarily, rushing around are allies in the war in syria. where does the ran stand on ukraine? when there is because of this as the metrical nature of the bilateral relationship, there has been always strong interference from the russian side in iran. also, when it comes to iranian media coverage about the war and ukraine. never the last step, ron has been a bit careful and not to provide not to voice support for the invasion because it regards no territory. integrity to be an important pillar of international relations. so it was an uneasy support that iran is providing, but it is also connected to the geopolitical aspirations that i mentioned earlier.

the u. s. government says that iran is preparing to sell armed drones to russia for use in ukraine. what do you make of that? well, although there is no disclaimed by jake sullivan was the national security advisor in the united states has been denied by the iranian science. there is some evidence that iran could indeed provide drones to russia. the iranians over the last few years, as you know, have the use drones also via the proxies in the wide persian gulf region to target the, their fo is energy infrastructure and, and surprisingly, those drone attacks were quite precise. so the iranians have had some experience in using those drones, and it could certainly help out the russian war effort in ukraine

with such an export would be materialized. ok. what might closer cooperation between russia and iran mean for the rest of the world? well, 1st of all, it would mean a nothing good fairy the your whining population. there is a lot of reticence from the bulk of iranians towards the resumes ambition to forge closer ties with russia as a, as a aimed at at moscow being a kind of security provider for these long republic that is under a heavy into internal. but i'll say external pressures, so it would not, you know, be a good signal for a development of iranian society for sure. but geopolitically on the global level, we go back to the aspiration of the wrong to, to,

to forge closer ties with russia and china with russia. specifically they have, they want to forge a 20 year comprehensive partnership which is not still signed and which also lacks transparency. ah, so, but on the other hand, there is not only a corporation here, but there is also competition when it comes, for instance, a to energy exports of the russians after the war. and the severe sanctions that was imposed by them by the west have provided $30.00 reduction a barrel to the chinese, which is $10.00 more in terms of than the reduction that iran is offering. so iran in russia, despite you know, parallels of interest, also our competitors friends on the energy market. interesting. dr. if i tolan a job, thank you very much for talking with us. that was around expert ali fella, the job talking to his peer in berlin. and you now ukraine

authority 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 russian forces fired at least 7 cruise missiles from the black sea, had eng hitting residential areas and destroying several homes. odessa is home to ukraine's biggest port and is crucial to exporting desperately needed grain to the rest of the world. some 22000000 tons of grain remain stuck there because of the fighting or earlier i spoke with our correspondent, funny font shaw ah, in kiev. she told us more about that miss al strike. she is quite list is that we know about that small village close to odessa city. according to regional authorities. several people have been injured. you do not know whether there were casualties, but if you look at those pictures, really houses burn to the ground. you are the one that asked just how much more of of either injured people that even possible casualties will be reported as the

story develops. now, the picture that's painted by russia is much different. they say that actually they hit a military depot or a weapon depot. rather, possibly where a western supplied weapons based toward this is not clear just how many depots and, and what exactly was in there. what, of course, it's in the narrative of the past when ever, as civilian casualties, residential buildings, a civilian infrastructure, was it? every time russia sat actually, no, that wasn't a target, it was a, the, a military, the poor, any other military infrastructure. now if you zoom in on odessa, but also neighboring nikolai about 140 kilometers to the east, it's not really surprising that russia and forces keep hitting these 2 cities to portal towns because it lies in the interest of russia trying to have a land cory door basically all the way from the don bus across crimea, all the way towards the romanian border. basically trying to cut off ukraine from

the black sea. so likely will unfortunately see more of this indiscriminate shelling and bombings across the port to towns. odessa, nikolai, in the coming days and weeks, what do these attacks on port cities particularly on odessa mean for efforts to resume grain shipments from ukraine yet? because odessa, honey is crucial for that. you really wonder if there is a deal and likely ukrainian and russian forces back but un, but also turkey. officious appeals from turkey will take part in those talks to resume this week about and blocking the ports you really wonder if you agree on a piece of paper? how is that going to go? had practically like, how can those vessels actually leave the ports? read the grain that are stuck in the silos in odessa, for example, about 22000000 tons of them. how can you establish a mutual trust? because this is exactly, that's in high demand, but in short supply, how can you guarantee that there's some sort of

a ceasefire that could enable to unblock the ports and, and, and gap much needed grain out of the country. or the wars about to enter a 6 month funny. where do things stand right now in terms of the fighting in ukraine? is so much time a pass, of course these and both on the ukranian and on the russian side, you have less weapons, you have less manpower, but russia actually isn't quite in a dilemma right now because they do want to advance in the don bus region while at the same time, they also need to defend the hassen region in the south. and this is where actually the ukrainian forces want to start the cultural offensive, speculating more or less that they can stretch that man poa of the russian forces. so russians actually need to decide now what is more important to them to food, the advance in a don boss, or rather to also then make sure that they can be found

a house in region. a lot will depend on manpower and own weapons and ukrainian forces actually say some of the weapons that have arrived. for example, high mars. these long range missile systems from the u. s. helped them to stabilize a little bit the situation. but of course, to them in their narrative, more weapons neat to arrive, to actually turn to tide in their advance and into india interest. thank you very much, shar corresponded funny french, other in cheer. after the beginning of the war in ukraine, thousands of young ukrainians left civil society to join the army and defend their country. hundreds of them have since been killed database. manuel shaw's reports on the young people fighting for their country's future bmw every day. at 9 a m the traditional song, please catch a sounds of my downfall. one minute after the u. m. i down revolution of 2014. it
