spain. fires tore through these dry pine forests and the southwestern region of your owned strong winds, fanned the flames, making them harder to contain fire fighters battled through the night, but still struggled to keep the fires under control. alt del mar. yeah, we have more than 2000 fire men working to reduce the fires to day, including more than 500 here in lattice to bush. what are they gonna do now? we will also be targeting the fires from the air during the day with water bombing planes, the food av acre, sharon, and that you'll do so see you people living in the nearby city of bordeaux walk up to a gray haze and the smell of burning one londoner, living in south western france is fearful of

a fire that is spreading very close to his home. for the next 40 hours might be symbolic in our life. we hope the home p i are working hard to protect her property like i have been doing for dies and dies now maybe just need a little bit of luck. his home country is also facing threats of forest fires like this one on the outskirts of south london. the u. k. has recorded its hottest day on record with temperatures of over 42 degrees celsius. officials warn people to stay hydrated and avoid traveling, if possible, since britain's infrastructure isn't built to cope with such conditions. it is hot at night though, because there's no air conditioning, and most of the buildings in and houses in london. usually busy hubs are

eerily quiet. as most people remain at home or find quieter spots that provide respite from the overwhelming less joint dw corresponded barbara vessel in one of europe's hot spots, bordeaux in the south of france. a welcome barbara. what's going on there? here we are at the edge of the fire that is the burning still burning rather strongly south off the village or a small town of la test. and the police won't get us any closer to get us any closer because there's a strong wind and to the fire is jumping and they think it's too dangerous for the press to approach. so we're just showing you the edge and the vehicles behind us coming and going on the other side of this, you can see caterpillars say strong, they had worked there. and what they're trying to do is create a fire break in order to prevent the fire from jumping this road. because right

near here on the other side, at the 1st houses, the 1st buildings off lab tests are beginning and does so. the authorities are afraid that the fires could still sort of come across and start taking it, taking a grip off off the town. and they would be hardly able to stop them once they've really got hold of the buildings here. so the situation is what they call halfway control they, they think they can sort of keep the fire in check, but they're not quite sure they're still afraid. it might so to start going for the noise and engulfing the tone. authorities have been talking to the press one if we launch from they, they were quite happy about not having had any victims. here they've evacuated the almost 40000 people from this region here. there's a lot of summer homes and on vacation homes, campaigns and all those places. and they've really brought everyone out yesterday

was the end for everyone who was still out here. and they brought everyone out and they're quite proud. they managed to do that. but did they don't feel safe yet? they see it. they said they're saying that the wind is strong and the mayor of the town and the this chief civil protection offer. so they said that in allies there had never seen a fire as seasoned like this because it's been burning here for almost a week. been incredibly hot, more than 40 degrees. the heat has led up a bit, but the strong wind makes it dangerous for the firefighters and, and makes the whole situation still very unpredictable. so this has been going on for a week now, and there is not yet an end in sight. i thank you for that barbara available in border a lot, he wise also suit me across germany. of course the temperatures here approaching of 40 celsius farmers are worried about crops as our fields,

apart by high temperatures and a lack of rain and in the city. so people are doing their best to make it through the heat by finding a shady spot or a place by the water or not everyone has that luxury like these berlin labors, working with hot tar to fix. a capitals rose a showing that the w correspondent. i'm, i'm, i'm capture a suck santa who's in bon welcome. i taught us more about how germany is doing 8 is unprepared for this kind of heat, where i'm standing is in the center of born. and you can see me. i knew some kids yard behind me in the fountain. i'm trying to cool off the temperature right now where i'm standing is 38 degrees celsius. and in parts in the west, in germany, it's reaching up to 40. so it is really excruciating, but a lot of people, yard,

especially the elderly and children, and a better authorities have actually called for a heat warning here of high temperature. and they have asked people to stay indoors to remain. hydrate did not go out. some of the commuters that i was talking to earlier said that they have been let go off from work early today because it is extremely hot in these parts to day. and even at home, people are not able to have that kind of a respite from the heat because the homes in germany, i made for insulation for the cold a month. so the heat is getting trapped inside the house is making it very, very uncomfortable for people here. right. and will people able to prepare for this? not so much, not as much as they could. i employ unions as well. ost ford respite out, you know, to give people early a, you know,

off from work so that they can go home and relax and prepared for water shortages and things like that. authorities as well. there has been an increase of emergency calls to the hospitals so that the situation is quite serious as well. but in these parts, at least there is a forecast that they'll be showers on wednesday. so hopefully they'll be some respite in this of extreme heat in the, in the vest of germany. i will let you gotta get away now into the shape. thanks for joining us. i can show suck. santa info. thank you. this is data lanier's alive from berlin still to come arrest success story in the fight against tribes and deforestation of islands whose trees had all but disappeared. not replanted by the community. i had of ad we'll look at small stores making

headlines around the world. germany is foreign minister online bab walk has described climate change as the greatest security challenge of our time. she was speaking at talks here in berlin, co hosted with egypt, which stages the u. s. next climate change conference in november, implementing no european union has opened membership talks, albania, and north macedonia. after you, member bulgaria last week resolved a dispute with north macedonia of a language national identity and it's po gary and minority population. lubarski in south africa says it is found the toxic chemical, methanol in blood samples from bodies recovered from a bar. in a township. last month 21 teenagers were found dead with no indication of a cause of death award winning iranian filmmaker, jaffar piano. he has been ordered to serve a 6 year prison sentence. it was imposed

a decade ago over alleged anti government propaganda, but never enforced as to pena. he or one the top prize of the 2015 berlin international film festival. fatima protein has arrived in iran on only his 2nd trip outside russia since launching the war against the ukraine. in february, the russian presidents holding talks with the leaders of turkey and iran discussions are likely to include syria, ukraine, and a u. n. a. back to proposal to resume exports of ukraine. great. d w, corresponded dorian jones in istanbul. can you give us an idea of the turkish angle on these talks? are welcome dorian weiss, president o 2, i'm at based meeting. what does he want from russia and iraq or this meeting between the iranian and russian presidents is part of an ongoing process called the i start a process and this was set up and by iran,

russia and turkey to basically coordinate efforts to bring an end to the syrian civil war, while they are on opposing sides, turkey, backing the rebels and iran and russia key allies of the are sad regime. or they have been working to find a resolution to this conflict, or at least coordinating in controlling or the, or the conflict. but why turkey is looking for in this meeting, his permission to launch m a major offensive against syrian curves, which he claims are linked to an insurgency fighting turkey. now the searing cards are key allies in the war against islamic stay with united states and other nato partners are but turkey insist that this is a threat to turkey and they want to launch another attack. this would be the latest in a series of attacks. took your to controls a large swathe of northern syria and they want to expand their influence. but iran and russia very cool about this. they're very concerned about turkey's growing influence in syria. so that's gonna be a hard sell that's facing president nerd. one. fit the relationship between a turkey and russia is complicated, isn't it?

dubbed, and turkey has bought russian weapon systems despite being in nato. but turkey is also supplied drones to ukraine. and as you say, opposes russia in syria. so how do relations between moscow and anchor a stand at the moment? well, like you said, the world complicated is the right one. in fact, this relationship between turkey and russia, they are 2 main regional powers in this, in this region is a combination of both rivalry and cooperation. and now more over the question of the ukranian conflict. like you said, turkey has been a key ally. ukraine has been earth one has been very outspoken in condemning russia, providing these drones, which have been key to ukraine's resistance against russia. fixing large amounts of casualties on the russian forces. and according to sources, are also providing other sorts of military support as well. but at the same time, president erred one has not been enforcing western sanctions against russia. and that's been very important for russia. there's been a lot of reports of turkey importing. what ukraine says is stolen grain at the same

time. there are growing concerns at turkeys is sanctions busting on a monumental sale over financial interests. in fact, we had though washington's deputy treasury secretary here last month where he is apparently warning turkey over this and turkey could even face washington sir, secondary sanctions over what many people believe his sanctions passing. now, encore, the nicest. but there is this concern, and this is why many ways moscow has been very muted in any criticism of turkey stance. and also a key factor is that turkey controls the gateway into the black sea. and why that has stopped russian warships on entering the black sea, which don't belong to russia's black sea fleet. it has also been keeping out nato warships. and that's really important for moscow in terms of keeping its iron grip on the black sea. i still got a little more about that because of the, the russia is still blockading. are these grain exports or from ukraine? so how likely is it that we might see that's are removed as

a result of these talks? what turkey has been in the forefront of those efforts to get this, the millions of tons of grain on to the well bart markets, which is causing flooring food prices growing shortages. and in fact, last week, turkey hosted russian, ukrainian and u. n. officials, web, all sites, her progress was be made. and the key part of the ones talks of putin today in toronto are over keeping momentum going on reaching agreement to get ukrainian grain on to the world. markets are key test will be, see that those that momentum is continuing if there are further talks with turkey, se could be held as early as later this week or later in the month. thank you for that. dorian jones in istanbul grow in ukraine, at least one resident was killed when russian missiles struck a residential area of crimea tor skin. the east internet's region at the debby strike was one of around 5 that hit the city, which is, which is seen as

a probable target for russian occupation. come and talks mer, urge civilians to leave. and those attacks came after a barrage of missiles hit, a desa from the black sea overnight strikes, also hit residential areas and destroyed several homes. odessa is crucial to export and were desperately needed ukrainian grain to the rest of the world. some 22000000 tons remained stuck there because of the fighting or they w correspondent, her family for shar, is in the ukrainian capital cave. and she told me more about those attacks run on a broad level so that this basically means that these indiscriminate bombings are intensifying, especially in those regions that you mentioned. the odessa region also me collide region. these are key portal towels, odessa, city, and mcauliffe, a town along the black sea that of course, russia would love to control if they would like to control ukraine. so unfortunately, would probably see even more mrs. strikes in these areas. but also come on tours

that happened today, and mrs. strike wounding several people and appeared to killing one person according to regional authorities. they come a tourist located in, in the don bus region also here. russia wants to advance. so as russia is regrouping to renew it's offensive, unfortunately, we will see more of this shunting and unfortunately it's going to be the civilians who have to be the bronze. if you look at the statistics, the official statistic, at least, that is being a conveyed here by the ukranian officials, which we cannot confirm. they say that about a su to percent of these mrs. strikes hit a military targets. why the rest 70 percent? quite a huge number, hit a civilian targets. now we cannot confirm once again these numbers, but what we can say that thousands of civilians have been killed already in these past 5 months, while these war rages on here and ukraine. i now parliament us back the president's decisions regarding the ukraine's prosecutor general and security chief

exactly on top of that ukraine is facing varies domestic problems. i mean, the least thing you want to expose is that you are as security service nearly the asp. you hear in ukraine is appearing the infiltrated, according to accusations or by the president presidents lensky, infiltrated by russian spies. he said, basically, he dismissed 2 of his closest allies, a childhood friend who was, they had of the s, b, u on the up until yesterday. and the general prosecutor of allegations that different on able to route out possible filtration corruption, et cetera. so this comes at a very sensitive time because the leasing you want is to show the enemy that you're on able to control information that he so crucial right now apart from trying to control the back of ground and trying to retake territory that he's on the the control of russian forces for shot in case thank you.

when the war started, thousands of young ukrainians joined the army to defend their homeland and hundreds have been killed. the w emani rode shot reports now on the young people fighting for the future. and me every day at 9 a. m de traditional song please catch our sounds of a my down for one minute after the u. m. i down resolution of 2014. it was played to commemorate the heavenly 100 protesters who died in the fight to push a crane towards the south determined european future. now to samsung, a coast, a death of thousands of sold is, have died for the same cause. ukraine's young people who have always lived in an independent country are bearing the brunt of the will to keep it that way. pile total, 20 animals. ah, and i know people for a team and there on the front line. actually i asked myself often,

ah, clearly gotta again to death from man. and i told me is felt as a loss for his entire generation. the entire nation remains defiance, even though this wall has cost ukrainians parts of their chair. ah, so the room this more has made the youth a patriotic one and has made our nation proud, proud that this generation was born with lives and will restore ukraine, is with ah, to an unusual success story about efforts to reverse the effects of drafton

deforestation. located in tanzania, zanzibar archipelago, a tiny island of co quarter as an area of just one square kilometer and his home to several 100 people. 2 decades ago, it's trees had all but disappeared. but the forests have come back. as you've seen this report produced by french television news, this is called quota an island in the indian ocean of the coast of tanza near here for a long time, the inhabitants thought their forest had disappeared forever. after decades of intense logging, there was nothing left. but the forest has returned dense and lush. and it's all thanks to one man in bulk, morsa oma. he's currently delivering gifts to children on the island. oh, i and as always, it all starts with

a song. oh okay, i can, i can, i'm going to add that you. i mean everyone take trees from the boat and go out and plant them. come on you understand? i was i mean take 3 or 400 candy o 3 to our vehicle. i dont bring them suites or kicks our trees are much more important, especially for the new generation. for more than 15 years now. but oak has been bringing trees to the people of calcutta. they take a short walk to the middle of the island to a clearing where they will be planting to day. when i've, with my dad, you have to space them one meter apart from each other and work, put them in the earth, and then pressed down really hard when i checked at the trees straightened out about going on and then we're done absolutely way you can clap huh. through it all started in 2005,

when maroka came to the island for the 1st time, he discovered a paradise on the brink of complete destruction. not a single tree was left and without their roots. rainwater was not staying in the soil. the temperature had risen, the wildlife had disappeared, the island was dying. the cut that salon is only that, that the forest there for house, the concession for that would to consumption for their business activity. for example, like a different via speeches of, of wood tree the way i buy it was here, like directing out him invest audi it because you cannot find that in barracks, decided to try and save co quota locally to maintain the former accountant started an n g o and applied for funding from the european union and other organizations to reforest the island. but he didn't stop there. he organized solar panels and the construct of the islands 1st school, the fellow who wants
