[000:00:00;00] ah, ah ah, business dw news line from berlin, a heat wave like never before the death toll in europe rises and wildfires extend their trail of destruction across the south of the continent and britain houses burnt as temperatures top 40 degrees celsius for the 1st time since records began, also on the program. russian president vladimir putin arrives in iran on his 1st trip outside the former soviet union. since starting the war in ukraine is seeking

to strengthen ties to the region and foster moscow's challenge to the west. and in ukraine, russia target cities, including the fort of odessa, were green remains blockaded. meanwhile, hopes are moscow, will actually restart gas flows to europe after completing pipeline maintenance. ah uncalled for like, it's good to have you with us. your abs, record of breaking heat wave is fueling. wildfire is burning out of control across huge parts of portugal, spain, france, italy, and grease. hundreds of people have died most from the effects of the heat, but others have been killed in the fires. the heat wave has now also pushed further north into the united kingdom. authorities in london declared

a major incident as flames steroid homes and woodland, to the east of the capitol. the u. k. whether office recorded temperature is above 40 degrees celsius for the 1st time since a records began forecast or say intense heat is now a fact of life in a country unprepared or such extremes. fires tore through these dry pine forests in 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 do more. yeah, we have more than 2000 fire men working to reduce the fires today, including more than 500 here in lattice to bush, where the owner do me. we will also be targeting the fires from the air during the day with water bombing planes, the flu, ave co, sharon,

and that you'll do. so here people living in the nearby city of bordeaux woke 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 may be symbolic in our life, we hope that pompey 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 felt the 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 equally quiet. as most people remain at home or find quieter spots that provide respite from the overwhelming and d w. corresponding barbara vsl is in one of europe's hot spots bordeaux in southwestern france. barbara, what's the situation there? we are on the edge of the veal and the town of lattice to which really has been struck by these horrific give forest fires. and we talked to the mayor into the head of the civil protection, a today here, and they said in our lifetimes, we have never seen anything like this because these fires are going on for

a week. that is the fire trucks you see behind me that are coming and going look like every minute they've been working in trying to contain these fires, which are still raging. and the police won't let us get closer because they say it's too dangerous. we does it, which are still raging in the forest behind us. and they have been battling these fires for a week now. and they are hopeful that they can contain them, but they're not quite sure. and they don't even say they're under control that just trying to keep them in place and they're far from extinguishing them because it is incredibly hot and dry weather for a week now. has really made to the forest go up like tinder. so there is a certain amount of hope that this is not going to get any worse, but it's far from good. what is the forecast for the next couple of days the firefighters have been finding for a week now our conditions expected to get any better soon. they are really tired

too. and then they have been relieved. 5 firefighters from other regions of friends, so we see them coming in here from the door, dawn near from the wire. and they come from all over the place because after 3 or 4 days off, fire fighting in this intense heat, people are completely exhausted and they just need to rest. the heat has led up a bit. it's moved north as you've already reported and even reach the united kingdom. so here it's during the day about 30, which is not that bad. it's not like the forty's as we still had yesterday, but it continues to be very dry and the wind makes the work of the fire fire to see a really difficult fires move around. they jump, they, they, they, you can't really calculate where they go or where they might move and where they will would possibly carry on during the night. so it's still, it's still a dangerous situation, and it's sort of what they, the local people here. say it's like halfway under control, they're hopeful that they couldn't probably get ahold and get a grip of this within the next days. but it's

a really horrific situation. 20000 actors have burned here of pine forests right up to the atlantic ocean beaches and 40000 people had to be vacated barbara, available in board. oh, thank you so much and please stay safe. we want to continue talking about this extreme weather in europe, and joining me now from london is jill doug and she's the executive director of the environmental defense funds, europe office. the adf is a nonprofit environmental advocacy group. welcome ms. dugan. first thing 1st, how did you get through the hottest day in british history? the great discomfort, the hostess night where i think i sat for about 3 hours, but the temperature is just beginning to start to drop and now gone through it. but it's, it's beginning to go down. the question on everybody's mind really is right now, is that, is this the new normal?

how, how much more likely are these, you know, these brutal heat waves going to be in the future? where i think we're 1 point one degrees celsius, warming about pre industrial levels and where we had a day and an experience actually like this across here where we've been, we've been around as temperature is not just today, but today's been the worst. yeah. i think the i tcc estimated that under a $1.00 degree to boiling, that heat weighs with normal heat weights would become 4 times more likely. and under 2 degrees, warming and heat waves become more likely. now we're moving on track for more than 2 degrees, booming government season with the changes they made in glasgow. j. i have not managed to get about to point to point 4 degrees of warming in terms of what their taxes will that add up to. so we can expect a lot more of this next we really start to take the situation serious date and,

and tweak it like in the house is on fire. and we need to think about how to, how to deal with this very, very actually, how can we deal with this and how should we deal with it? well, i mean, we will have the advice and what we should do at the moment is staying in doors, keep sharp left of it, but we need to be building buildings that come with fan properly and keep us warm. and when we need to do that, because we need to make sure that we don't solve this by using the or air conditioning, which will just make the problem worse from get past attracted to very high levels of bullying. so we really got to check lam buildings. i know because we're in europe, we have very old housing, so we have a lot of buildings that have been around for a long time. but we have to work really hard at making sure those buildings are comfortable for people, so they can stay well indoors. we need to make sure that there are refugees, cool refugees for people as well. and we need to think about the way we're not just

think about what we need to change the way we build that. $50000.00 pounds the plenty of shade. there are parts in europe that a much better pay to the high temperature. nevertheless, in the space been made in the pop is a lot, for example, in portugal, the very racially. so we need to and less than what we've done over the last 50 years and really put our efforts into building this very, very quickly. so even in those places that are used to these fairly high temperatures, portugal, spain, hundreds of people have died in the past couple of days in relation to this heat wave. what will the public health consequences of this be in the long term where we needed to go to the last, really big, very ferocious he way in europe in 2003, i think it was estimated 70000 people lost their lives as a result prematurely as a result, heated impacts, it's very difficult to say because there are longer term impacts whether people are subjected to smoke, inhalation,

et cetera. and the distress caused by if you are being involved in a traumatic incident or do in your home. so there's lots of things that are going to make this very difficult for us. and we really need to focus on, on making sure that we don't prevaricates, you know, put this off for another day. we really do know how to, you know, how to build these buildings. we know how to do it, right. we just don't do it right. we don't prioritize it. we really do need to act like the house is on for a long road ahead to build resilience children with the environmental defense fun. thank you so much. thank you. letter mir putin has been in iran on only his 2nd trip outside russia and launching the war against ukraine and february, the russian president held talks with the leaders of both iran and turkey food and says there's been some progress on unblock ingrain exports from ukraine. though not

all issues are resolved a server stapleton wants to strengthen, regional ties to bolster moscow's challenge. to the wes let's can talking about this meeting with non taba to buy an iran analyst from the germany base thing tank car pro, which is focused on near and middle eastern affairs, mr. thomas to buy so. 2 we have syria, ukraine and grain exports officially on the agenda. that's quite ambitious to ambitious. meet me to yield results i guess it's not because obviously this war has unleashed and an energy security crisis and food security crisis. geopolitical re, adjustments. so these 3, let's call them power houses of regional politics. wanted to meet again, that was done, the process has existed before, but it's obviously also a bit of a response to a bite and visit to israel and the gulf states last weekend. exactly. let's talk

about the timing of all of this out. what do you make of it yet, in fact, i believe there is something to it that of course, these countries one to show that there was also some sort of a bond between them. even if it's just the transactional, short to mid term bond, some deepening of cooperation, be it in the energy sector in the food sector with the imports of weeds from russia that iran has been trying to work on in the same goes for energy cooperation. syria was on the table so they have a lot to discuss among themselves anyway. but the timing of course, also matters. now, iran is leader, has stress that in both and tear on. and moscow are interested in a long term cooperation, but they're actually fierce competitors when it comes to energy production, which is their main source of income. what's in all of this for iran? yeah, i mean that they really have

a good set of convergent and divergent interests. and depending on the overall geopolitical context in iran's neighbourhood, but also globally, those interests or in convergence can in fact pop up so to speak. now, for, for example, this idea about doing trade, iranian russian trade and introducing the rubel as a currency for iranian russian trade is something that may not have happened not been on the table before. sanctions were maximized on russia in the same way that it was on iran. so the geopolitical, the geopolitical situation brings these countries together closer right now. but as you already said, there are enough fields where they might also be a competitor is an energy being one of them. atlanta, what have i understood off? thank you very much. my pleasure. in ukraine, russian missiles have struck a residential area of chrome, a tourist in the eastern,

daniel screech and killing at least one person that at least rank was one of round 5 that hit the city and declare a target of the russian troops. cremmit hoist, mayer urged civilians to leave. those attacks came after a barrage of missiles hit odessa from the black sea overnight. strikes also hid residential areas and destroyed several homes. the port city is crucial to exporting desperately needed ukrainian grain to the rest of the world. some 22000000 tons remained stuck there because of the fighting for more, i'm joined now by monte has been a man who is in the ukranian capital cave meant he has. what more can you tell us about these attacks? yeah, we've had several attack sir. again, today in a crime at oscars you have just mentioned. and in the odessa region, the odessa region has been a, has been at several times in the past few days. it has been one of the targets main

targets all of long, long range missiles or, or middle range misses that were fired, met mostly from the black sea. and a city of mich alive has been also hit quite a few times that points a little bit to, to the fact that russia has not may be given up on the plan to conquer the whole south. the same is true for trauma cremmit horse, which is a main target of the russian army because the russian army has stayed in the russia has stated. and it's very clear that this is the next target that they want to conquer. so this is what unites or these 3 targeting these 3 places that have been targeted to day. the rain in parliament has backed president the landscape decision to dismiss the state security chief and the chief prosecutor. how is this scandal being perceived by the public in ukraine? well, i mean, if there was

a problem that was as big as or as zelinski has said, then it's probably the right move to remove these heads. they are not under accusation themselves. we've also heard speculation from people close to zelinski, that vindictive or might be a might be a sent to a diplomatic post somewhere abroad. so it's not that they are under suspicion, but they have obviously not handled the situation in these authorities that had been leading very well. i mean the cases are pretty severe. so i have not heard a lot of criticism of these decisions. we will see what happens next. we are see that are seeing maybe some indicators that purges in these organizations, especially in the as b u, the security service, the secret service of ukraine might be underway. 2 days the landscape said that he dismissed another $28.00 employees of our or that another $28.00. and please of

these authorities had been suspended so that it was clear, even before the war, that the that the russians had a lot of so called assets in the ukrainian security sector. and that is, of course, a big problem in the middle of a war of a problem, but not a huge surprise many as it's 5 months now since russia 1st invaded ukraine. where does the war stand? so we're seeing probably were probably at another turning point at this moment, the 1st period was the quick russian invasion that was then quickly stopped by the ukrainians where the ukrainians were able to inflict a lot of damage on the russian army by these mo bile, her commandos will shoulder pads with these from a british and american anti tank weapons. and then the 2nd phase was the slow grinding advance in the dawn bass that is still going on. but we are seeing

indicate is that ukraine might be able to do to the new weapons deliveries, especially the moat multiple rocket launchers to withstand these advance is much better than it has in the past few years. and of course, speculations are ripe about an m, a counter offensive. there would be a would gain back some of the territories. it's too early to tell whether this can be successful. it has been announced in the south for, for don boss, for the moment. ukraine is trying to hold their lines, but definitely the russian advance has lost momentum in the past today. so it will be very interesting. what's going to happen next. it'll be a correspondence that he has billing and clear. thank you so much. oh, when the war started, thousands of young ukrainians joined the army to defend their homeland and hundreds have been killed since did away as among us shot records now on the young people

keep the tops closed in retaliation for westerns anxious north stream. one accounts for a 3rd of russian gas exports in to the european union. germany in particular is heavily reliant on the pipeline. and d, w political correspondingly only fand, how much tank? tell us more leoni writers sites sources familiar with the export plants? how credible is this news? well, that's a very good question, but given the tensions and the backend back and forth and all over the last couple of weeks and months. you know, european leaders, i think, will be very careful to rely on this piece of news just yet. you know, let's remember, even before this maintenance gas problem had already cut its flows through than what stream one pipeline and blamed the absence of as humans, gas turbine. and but many here including german chancellor shoulders and half rejected. that's a gas turbine argument and saying, you know, on the basis that it is basically just

a pretext of what they think is really going on name the russia tightening its energy supplies to europe, knowing full well how much you are, especially germany, depends on them in retaliation for western sanctions on moscow and, and reportedly the turbine is now on its way to where it has to be. and yet gas from just yesterday told a customer that it could not as secure energy supplies, guarantee gas supplies, citing circumstances beyond their controls. so, you know, bottom line is the situation is pretty volatile. it's very hard to tell whether how much gas will through flow through that pipeline on thursday, if any. and so your p meters here, i really preparing for the sort of worst case scenario, which is that russia cuts off, all gas applies to europe. how prepared are european countries for that worst case scenario for the possibility of gas from not restarting the pipeline. i don't well,

let's say they're scrambling to get prepared. you know, european countries are facing this and what shortsighted energy policy of the last few years. i, you, they're very heavy reliance on russian gas. you know, it's powering the factories, it's heating the homes and, and in, in the european union. and so the number one priority is to get off of that russian gas and to reduce this dependence in the case of to me that has worked already since the start of the war. adrim. yes, we've reduced its dependents from 51 percent to 35 percent of slang to get completely independent of russian gas by early spring. but obviously if that were to happen sooner, that would really pose a huge challenge for countries like germany ahead of the winter. we've responded, they don't even know how much i think and in football, by a munich have confirmed the signing of central defender. my ties, the lift from you vent has for an initial transfer fee of $67000000.00 euros. and
