as take you to the u. k. avow now comes one a jack park is in london where the situation has taken a turn for the worst. welcome jack, what's happened? well, we know from the mayor of london said he can't. he says that the situation is critical . we know that there are at least 10 major fire instance incidences across london and the region. in fact, 15 fire engines were sent to a village far east of london, where the blazes appeared to be extremely destructive and the fire brigade is out here in the capitol has said that they will not be responding to automatic fire lawns, but only when they are called i, they are telling people to be extremely cautious around the fires. extremely cautious about the potential for new fires to prevent any overloading of the fire service at the moment, the temperatures somewhere in the region of $3738.00 degrees. still, even though we're heading into the early evening now,

meeting between the rainy and and russian president is part of an ongoing process called the us start 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 in 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 they conflict. but why turkey is looking for in this meeting, his permission to launch m a major offensive against syrian curves, which he claims a link to an insurgency fighting turkey. now these 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 se wave of northern syria and they want to expand their influence. but iran and russia very cool about this,

are very concerned about turkey's growing an influence in syria. so that's going to be a hard sell that's facing president nerd. one fit, the relationship between the 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 grows, which have been key to ukraine's resistance against russia, fixing large amount 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,

present urge 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 sell over financial interests. in fact, we had a washington's deputy treasury secretary here last month where he is parentally 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 in many ways motto 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 it has stopped russian warships from entering the black sea, which don't belong to russia's black safely. 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's, or 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 onto 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 also i say 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 well. 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 our stumble, well in ukraine, at least one resident was killed when russian missiles struck

a residential area of cramming tore skin the eastern dynette region. the deadly strike was one of around 5 that hit the city. riches seems a probable target for russian occupation. common tasks mer urged civilians to leave . the attacks came after a barrage of missiles it odessa from the black sea overnight strikes also hit residential areas and destroyed several homes. a debtor is crucial to exporting desperately needed ukrainian grain to the rest of the world. some 22000000 tons of it remained stuck because of the fighting it looks as though russia is to resume gas exports to your up through the nord stream, one pipeline following maintenance. that's according to the reuters news agency that had been fears at russia would keep the taps closed in retaliation for western sanctions. daughtry one accounts for a 3rd of russian gas exports into the european union. germany in particular is heavily reliant on the pipeline. the w political correspondent,

and if you're worried and that is why, even despite these news, they are preparing for what they call the worst case scenario, which is obviously a cut and a complete cut of russian gas applies to, to germany and europe. so tell us more about how prepared our european countries like germany for the possibility that guys from could stop gas deliveries altogether. well, i'd say they're scrambling to get prepared, you know, and germany and other countries in the european union are being confronted with their somewhat shortsighted energy palsy and their heavy reliance on russian gas. and. and there are 4 things that jeremy's doing and the other european country countries are doing now to reduce their dependence. first of all, you know, finding other supplies off gas and 2nd of all trying to keep the storage facility gas storage full for the winter. and a 3rd of all save and expand renewables,

energies and germany has managed to reduce its line reliance on rush and gas. are ready down from 51 percent before the war to 35 percent. now berlin says it wants to be get in complete the independent of russian gas in the early spring of 2024. but obviously if it were to happen now, then germany and other european countries would have serious problems for this winter. ok, thank you for that. and the only fun how much time and football news about music has confirmed the signing of central defend matches dialect who joins. and from you venice from an initial transfer fee of $67000000.00 euros. the 22 year old dutch defenders signed the deal until 2027. i deleted one multiple trophies while playing in italy and just 19 became the youngest captain to lead his side to the semi finals of the champions league in 2018. 19 season.
