wave baking much of southern europe is set to intensify this week. and grace as weather authorities have warned that the extreme heat will bring a high risk of even more wild flies. and another heat wave has been announced for greece, so no relief inside. just yet the w, sophia close talkie is in athens and has more. yes, greece saw temperatures of 40 degrees and even higher this week, the acropolis, the countries most popular subtraction was closer in the how does the hours of the day in the past days in order to protect visitors and maybe 1020 minutes uh before we connected today with you, i saw outside the window, the lights went off of the acropolis, i was told in the shop now its on again. so i don't know if that has been link so potentially record temperatures. i expected at the end of this week as well, specifically on thursday. so now the heat wave approaches and the guidelines from

the greek civil protection are to stay in doors, closed doors and windows in order to keep safe. what do we know about the cause of the fire? well, regarding the cause, there are 3 main factors. of course, the heat weight, the heights, the higher temperatures, and secondly, the very, very dry weather conditions. we haven't seen the rain in a while. um, all those up very high temperatures started late june and july, june wasn't very warm in greece and in athens and 3rd, of course, the very strong winds that started yesterday. and greece has been his wealth tires over and over again in the last few years. and has any progress been made and preventing them or protecting civilian? i think it's very early to, to talk about improvement. what we can say so far though, is that the declaration of the residential areas had been immediately ordered by

the security authorities. and okay, this, this cost tensions with the residents. we did not want to, to leave their possessions behind which, which happens, houses in properties where in our burning domestic animals have been killed by the flames. um, although there have been no serious human injuries reported so far, so the main concern is projecting human life right now, sophia, cliff tacky, thank you so much. she joins us tonight from athens. the usaa is working to resolve the situation after an american soldier across the heavily armed order from south to north korea. without authorization. officials say the service man is now likely in custody after running across the border during a tour around part of the demilitarized zone near the pen. when john truce village, the us state department advises americans not to enter north korea due to the

serious risk of arrest and long term detention for us defense secretary lloyd austin had this to say about the incident, but i can confirm that i would say upfront that were very early in this event, and so there's a lot that that we're still trying to learn. but what we do know is that one of our service members who was on a tour will slowly and without authorization cross the military demarcation line. we believe that he is in the b r k custody. and so we're closely monitoring and investigating the situation and working to notify the soldiers next of kin and engaging to address the sense of it. in terms of my concerns i'm, i'm absolutely for most concerned about the welfare of our true and so we will remain focused on this. and again this, this whole development the next several days now. and we'll keep you posted as

us defense secretary lloyd austin, speaking earlier today. south korea based journalist came young soon told us more about the area where the incident took place. the military team or occasion line is merely a bump in the ground. it's just the line, so really crossing over that line would only take a step and currently with us to say that there are no a soldier is guarding the north korean part, especially from since the pandemic. so if this individual in question uh and in question would you would like to cross over that line. it would only take a split 2nd and the you one command guarding the south korean part. uh they would not have enough time to react. so indeed, it does seem something like this is possible, even though it's a, it's an extremely x, rare case. we are also dealing with something that we haven't seen before. there

was a case in 2001 where a for a national of did try to cross over to the north koreans side, but was immediately caught by the j guards. but something like this has really never happened before. but. ready the president dpr to custody we are very consider . south korea is very concerned about him since referring back to some of the cases that have happened before, especially the on a warm beer case back in 2017. the us national, who was detained in declaring custody and was later returned home in a vegetative state. so it does seem that we're dealing with a very dangerous and delicate situation here. and now to some other news from around the world to urban union, latin american and caribbean leaders of wrapped up a 2 day summit in brussels, still divided over the war and ukraine. it failed to agree unanimously on the

wording of a statement about russia's invasion with nichol romwell reportedly refusing to join 59 other nations and enjoying criticism. nothing more. former us president donald trump says he's the target of a criminal investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 us presidential election . and the social media post drum says he received a letter on sunday from special council jack smith, who is leading the investigation, informing him of the move. such a letter can awesome, proceed and indict as if people in israel have been protesting against the government's plan, 2 additional reforms. and however you've demonstrators are staging riley's unimportant signs across the city as part of what's been described as a date of disruption. authorities have deployed water cannon on the streets in response to the crowns. the action comes and the run on to a problem entry vote on a key part of the proposed reforms, which critics has done with dismantled democracy. but despite months of similar

protests prime minister benjamin netanyahu looks that to move ahead with the program, they'll be able to respond. and rebecca rivers has more prototypes across the country. these demonstrators have ended up when i so often try to end up and not the main highway people have the traffic is arrive at the the lot happy

supports for next week. the bill and the rest of the week for the last 7 will not be the last time they said they're not going anywhere and they will not stop until the government listen to them. the interest is also cast a shadow over the is rarely presidents visits to the white house, is that carrots all that has been invited to washington to celebrate israel's 75th anniversary has been trying to find a compromise over the judicial reforms which have strained relations between the is really prime minister benjamin netanyahu and us presidential button. so how are the protests affecting president hers office visit to the us? i post that question to our washington bureau chief and his port. it's the only

called president biden as actually all of his previous assessors is a stone supporter of israel by g as many others here in the united states has criticized benjamin netanyahu has directly, but also his writing coordination about his plans to reform courts and, and also his settlement policy, so he used actually really strong awards saying that they cannot davidson of his say he means of the israeli government. they cannot continue down this road and with strong works like that. you kind of reflects really some feeling of many americans. on the other hand, he also got really harshly criticized for that from a prominent republicans like former vice president. my parents were referred to by him and other democrats as answer semitic. so the country is really divided also over betts and with the changing demographics here. the relationship to israel

seems to be getting more complex. but after all, there is no doubt that the majority of the americans, one to one to 2 countries really to keep working together for 2 political and security reasons. and having that said, many experts say that the u. s. is really relationship has never been as bad as it is right now for sports now and football greatly on unless he has finally hit the training pets with his new club. enter miami, a contract signed by the 36 year old. keeps them in florida through 2025 pounds each day. view is planned for friday when miami host, mexico's crews i saw in their legs come opener. having the world come winter on board should give the sport a big boost in the west and on the trails and popularity behind the other major men's professional needs in north america tennis now and so we just player because
