well, it's, here's the significant for freeland, as you mentioned there, and by can set that have filled in succession to nato, was a very significant step. and, and certainly here in feelings it's been seen as a, as a kind of a very historic visit here that partners making me how big a topic was sweden accession, which now pretty much seems like a done deal. it's an incentive, it's been a massive topic and wins and then the joint nato. the very 1st act, the very 1st thing you did was to ratify swedish, the sweden's bid. and it's been seeing that the 2 kind of went on this road together and should finish on this flow together fillings on sweden. so, and it's been a huge deal in it. and it's been very welcome here in feelings that, that it looks like the lens as, sorry, sweetens membership. it is in the final stages. finland, as you mentioned, became

a member back in april and 5 in praise finland's entry extensively today. how has this recent shift from neutrality to nato membership been received in finland and well, previously there was sort of um, filling out this, what was the term discipline in the eyes ation policy where um they didn't really particularly want to sort of anger the eastern neighbor and at that kind of changed, obviously, on the 24th of february, last year when we're shooting, they didn't ukraine because i think there was a realization that, that russian could do this to me. it's near neighbors. and of course, as you mentioned, someone shares this very long florida with russia. and so there was a, there was really a slightly change like him finish public on political opinion regarding joining nato. is there a greater sense of security now to you is someone who has an ear to the ground there in finland? i think that there is a lot of recent opinion polls that said that people do feel more secure. now that, that and feeling has this article 5 guarantee in the backing up the other nato

nations. there does seem to be on the streets of the coffee and this, a greater sense of, of safety and security under the, under nato. but military issues were not the only items on the agenda by and also called for closer co operation on climate change. for example, what can the rest of the world and the us in particular maybe learn about climate protection from the pioneering northern countries. so i think i'm certainly i'm still into set this goal as being neutral, carbon neutral, free by 2035. and that seem as sort of a global leader in that respect. i think that would be certain, certainly setting those goals and setting those targets is something that the do not mistakes could learn from and, and also just i think there's, there needs to be a cultural shift, i think in the northern countries. and the environment has always been seen as it has very important done it within the northern countries, people have a very, it's kind of unique relationship with their nature that i've seen elsewhere in the world. so i think that's also something that could be,

that could be borrowed from the north nations, is running around journalists with a finnish broadcasting company unit in helsinki. finland, thank you so much for your analysis and your insights and we'll be crossing live to hills. thank you. for jo, vines press conference with the finished president later in this hour. but 1st, let's turn to other news and the united nations human rights office says it has found evidence of a mass graves and students west star for region least 87 people were buried there last month. but you went, office says it has credible information, other break away rapids support forces, paramilitary and their allies carried out the massacre. as, as many of the bird people belong to the non air ethnic most solid group, their bodies were dumped into shallow graves near the city of elgin 9. now ethnic violence has escalated and recent waste with rival military factions at war for months. now robina sham dasani is folks present from the united nations human

but they've flats from my suckers, from all sorts of effects on civilian sensitivity and infrastructure on our offices and warehouses have been looted. so it's, it's still telling me that it's got us to off it for this. it really gives us that i'm today is the, the ottomans proof if you like, that these atrocities are leading to being committed. then we need to get to the bottom of who did this, and these people need to be comfortable. a severe hate wave is heading hard across southern europe. temperatures are expected to surpass 40 degree celsius in parts of italy, spain, france, greece, croatia, and turkey. in room temperature is couldn't reach as high as 43 degrees and a possible 47 degrees on the island of sardinia, and agree capital athens maximum. temperatures could reach 45 degrees on saturday. sweltering heat has made life harder for people authorities or urging residents and torres to be cautious. extreme temperatures are likely to continue into the weekend

used to it. and somehow it's a crisis that has long since become a reality across the globe. 9 made the climate change is making extreme with more likely. yet not all extreme with a can be attributed to a heating planets. for example, according to climate models, the heavy rain and northern italy earlier this year, once more and 10 so likely due to human induced warming. it was actually unexpectedly rare and fierce weather event for the region. on the other hand, extreme heat waves in northern africa and southern europe last april, with temperatures up to 20 degrees above normal. with different dave would have been almost impossible at this time of year without the climate change and when it comes to be severe flooding that had pockets done in 2022 model suggest the global warming increased drain full intensity data by 50 percent. the event affected

then we know that this is related to climate change. let's take a look now at some other stories making news around the world. today. climate activists have caused numerous flights to be cancelled at airports in germany. members of the group last generation entered the premises of hamburg and descend off airports and glued themselves to the runway. during the peak holiday travel period, the protesters were demanding tougher government acts and to reduce greenhouse gas emission. thailand's front runner to become prime minister has failed to secure and parliamentary supports. p telling john rowen rot was the only candidate, but he was blocked by military back members of the standards. a 2nd vote is expected next week to head sledge to reform strict laws, protecting the monarchy and to reduce the military's influence. to the hollywood actors union, representing more than $170000.00 workers is likely to announce
