6:07 am
many see the trail of smoke as a sign of the climate crisis, which can include more frequent and even more extreme wild fires. limits earlier just matthew pushy is in washington dc and he told me the capital city was among the area closet and smoke to yeah, correct. i gotta say i've never seen wildfire smoke this sticky or a nation's capital. we seen a code red issued the 1st time since 2018 meaning that's how stick this smoke is. we saw the visibility is below about 4 to 5 kilometers today where i am, i can see the washington monument which is easily in view on ordinary days. the sky as milky white, the sunsets of vibrant orange. it looks almost apocalyptic outside, but nothing compared to what new york is seeing with the worst air quality of the scene ever recorded up there. worse than 1985 worse and every wildfire episode. since this is very high end events affecting millions of people. okay, you mentioned these ad quality a let's and, and, and what exactly does this mean?
6:08 am

6:09 am
definitely. you know, yesterday my eyes were staying my throat was a little bit sore. i've heard that from a number of people around the area. ultimately, the best thing to do is minimize outdoor exposure, mitigate the amount of air coming into your home. turn off the air conditioners are stepping to re circulate the air inside your home rather than ingesting air from outside. but someplace, for example, new york state leasing visibility is below one kilometers. that's enough to make it so airplanes can take off or land j. f. k. airport l, a ga airport in new york city, some of the busiest in the world had drowned stops earlier on because the airplanes literally couldn't see it's a very problematic thing affecting all walks of life. and one other thing i want to note, you know, this smoke is toxic, obviously we're not seeing a ton of super dense smoke what it is, toxic. and there have been peer review papers that have connected episodes like this to an increase in excess mortality. in other words, additional people who might have underlying condition to unfortunately perish and episodes of this nature. so really
6:10 am
a high impact event. and one that is tied to climate change and these us the smoke coming from canada. i'm enough that the fire as well as we can over a month ago if i, if i recall how big is the area affected and do you expect this smoky situation to get was to yes, about 3 and a half 1000000 hector is a burg here. it's a record start to the year for canada's wildfires and across the northern hemisphere is a whole this is not an isolated incident that can part of his problem to modern servers. basically, european union has said the northern hemisphere has seen a record emissions does spar. now, part of the issue has been a sheet downs or big sprawling reaches of high pressure to bring a huts thinking, errand, dry conditions. that's a breeding ground for wildfires. we see a 3 of these were record. he told the setup in park over canada, festering and fostering these wildfires to be kindled and break out and grow even more. and that's why you know, the past 34 days of it seen in the outbreak of fires, we saw that about 2 weeks ago. we saw that roughly a month ago, as you said,
6:11 am
and unfortunately climate change is sort of tipping the scales towards more of these higher end he doing events. and so what we can connect a single wildfire to climate change, the conditions to make them bigger, worse and more frequent are very closely tied to human action. and it's rather just matthew poochie that talking to us from washington dc. now here is a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world is a major fire has broken out now and on the base incidents capital. how to as rival functions, battle over control of a crucial ons. factory witnesses, the paramilitary forces attacked the area before being repelled by the army. the 2 sides had been engaged in a pa struggle for weeks. before we got. the vatican says both frances as successfully undergone abdominal surgery to treat any of pain. it says a 3 hour operation passed off without complications. the 86 year old pontiff is
