the ride side of the wi fi, but the still out of control. and a threat to mean a national park. the park of did us a lot by myself. the situation is quite complicated. we know that easier to west, more resources. i located, especially the main line, the mainland, to spain. but it's not probably in the canary islands, which is not used to these kind of temperatures on why fi us. but we know that temperatures are also on the rice induce stop. so because i am the i people that go else they cannot. ready us he more frequent temperatures as high as 40 degrees. the sa hire us in or does the heart of district air coming from africa is actually also paying a high told in these islands. now, mainland, spain is also facing extremely high temperatures,

including where you are in madrid and there's no or forecast in the week ahead of spain is holding a general election next weekend is the heat wave going to impact that? well we know that for example, is spain this year the government passed the legislation to prevent workers from working during the heat waves in the out. busy but probably the postal service officials but the post made will have to actually work and do in almost a all days more than 2000000 people have a request to mail the votes and they are delivering and collecting bothered to do induced stream sheet way. this is still also lots of concerns regarding what is going to happen on the 23rd of july. if the high temperatures are still on,

as we know. busy that they will be until. ready next, wednesday, due to the impact on the final turn out of the general elections here use. well, thank you so much for speaking to us. that is journalist jaime, of alaska. in madrid. russian president vladimir putin has threatened to use cluster bombs. if you crane does the same, this comes days after ukraine received shipments of the controversial weapons from the united states. cluster munitions are banned by over a 100 countries because of their widespread damage and because they can leave behind many, unexploded bombs. what's that harm civilians long after fighting has ended. the head of the un has appealed for them to never be used by human rights watch claims . both russia and ukraine have already used cluster bonds in the 17 month for or in an interview released by state television on sunday put in said most guy was ready to retaliate with its own cluster bombs, pressure with me to shoot. i'd like to know that the russian federation has

a sufficient stop kind of different types of custom you mission dealing with different types of each never. we haven't done this before, but of course this is the say i use the games does what if we was at the right to take reciprocal option? i get a candidate. i spoke earlier today of these russia analyst constantine i got and i asked him, what is known about moscow's cost or weapons stockpile? well, i think no one definitely knows it because pressure doesn't want to uh to, to, to, to, to reveal that. but it is a x truly big enough to have been used before. and frankly speaking, i think put in is quite sort of um, quite comfortable this time. and he says if he's going to retain retaliate and that he has a supply of these, munitions, not at the united states, no rush, i know your grain have signed up dining cluster munitions, and now they're being used in this war. i'm absolutely something that pollutant has

enough of this stuff to continue using it. it gets to great. and as he already did pictures and derek cycle see an increase in their use after deliveries from the u. s. to ukraine last week. yes, i think that puts in who is, but we know that t t of horse being seen as weak quote unquote, he will retaliate massively against ukrainian use of of cluster munitions. however, this is not new. this happened before both sides of the front. so for him is just a continuation of up what was there before? not maybe as we met before, that that wasn't as massive as probably is going to become no, because it seems that you bring that square to lots on using these munitions to break through russian defense is and it's called at the end, it's called the offensive, but it's definitely, i mean, no big news as the 1st time they're being used. yeah. tell us more about ukraine's

counter offensive. where do things stand at the moment? are they making the gains that they have hope for a look. i think that the ukrainians definitely did not deliver yet on any condo, spic tech you la recapture of territories. i was promised that they have managed to liberate, i think up to maybe uh, several uh, several dozen square kilometers may be a bit small now. but still, it is an ongoing process as far as our stand and that is bought a lot of ministry experts to say, again, that is what was discussed here in the villages during the nato summit. them all aspects of the problem is that the russian forces are really dug in the managed to create quite foldable, a permanent stationary defenses. and that is why it's very difficult praying

to break through. and that is why present zaleski wanted to use gloss diminishes, although it is well quite a risk guessing both for you can use and for the future of your credit as well as i mean, because it's not making great be off of your grade. let's also uh, admitted yeah, well thank you very much for that update. that's dw especially analyst constantino . okay. thank. and in recent developments from ukraine, russia's defense ministry says it has shot down several drones attempting to attack the port of a stobel on the occupied chromium peninsula. the claims could not be verified. drones have become though one of the main weapons of this war to these correspondent and economy visited a ukrainian control station to see how drum warfare is carried out. one summer, rain storm life and this amazing became trenches, looks a lot like level one that is until you turn the corner. we're in a forward c'mon to point. just

a few 100 meters behind the front line. ukrainian positions. soldiers here. you guys in the sky to coordinate up to the re and infantry, but then not the only ones that belong to you can. there's so many drones now that nothing goes on seem to keep on both sides, any movement you any attacks are going to be noticed, encountered for a higher additive, a with the most level in this. and it's possible that we have the advantage in some areas. but it's definitely wrong to underestimate your enemy, endorsing a particular goal. so we just heard a warning signal over the course of things that that means that there is russian drug or if i had that just trying to work out if this is a drawing that is about to coordinate not to read tackle petitions that we all here whether it just happens to be flying through the space of alliance, kind of high tech that fills the space. it's not the only early warning system you create and so just have learned to rely on the problem. the last time we come

across, you don't came all we none of the so we just heard it. but especially when the dog hoarded the dog, ran for cover in the trench. and the boys realized something was up like this as a dog. the never normally hides, and those are the reason for that. thank you. ron. bye. since our boys managed to get to safety and the drone came down without injuring anybody. call that dog. who bytes. everyone, you've got to box it, save their lives with you, and he's called blake door to go to you. when you step away from all the screens, you are like this control room is just a shipping container. buried in a trench will be at one with satellite internet connection around the clock power from a generate to the you know? yeah, yeah. he's man and watching in real time is you creating autonomy. guided by that, drones takes aim rush moment vehicles many kilometers away. almost on the see,

the shell came in nearby just behind them to the left. so they're turning around to get away. it was really close. we almost got them with so many drawings and this guy, keeping anything on the battlefield, a secret to become almost impossible. any progress there is this low and painstaking as well as the british for an actor and singer jane perkins has died french media say she passed away at her home in paris at the age of 76 for confound fame. and the british film blow up, which was controversial at the time due to its use of nudity, but broken it was best known for the 1969 had just time more not to perform for their partner says against the song was band on the radio in several countries because of its overly sexual lyrics, broken later recorded several albums and has in recent years been celebrated for
