sleep flames, torching homes and cars firefighters. and now try and prevent the blaze from reaching an area with oil refineries. journalist daphne told us is in athens covering this story a short while ago. she told us more about efforts to bring the pliers under control . well, hello for often from athens? yes, it's a thursday that the one far west of athens is just still raging firefighters where bites were battling the blazes over night. this morning, the firefly to the plains tearing water, has been resumed operations. we also have the firefighters from poland coming to assist and the you, you can union civil protection mechanism was activated, and italy and france have a sense for 5 sites and planes to assist with the firefighting efforts that has been taking place 3 days now. here in greece,

so i understand that more high temperatures are predicted or forecasts for the region there. is that expected to worse in this situation to well, yes, exactly. um, as the meteorologist say the, we're waiting and we're expecting another huge wave. we have a heat we've last week with temperatures up to 44 degrees in some areas, and we're expecting a new heat wave as of starting today, but it will become worse over the days. so this is a prolonged each way in the course dry conditions, and the wind is the worst combination for a wildfire to continue raging that greece has been hit by wildfires over and over again in recent years. has any progress been made in preventing them and protecting civilians? well, it guess this is exactly the point we've had. fires was wires and huge waves for

many, many years. every july and august basically. now what the authorities are doing are evacuating people ahead well ahead of time as a precautionary measures. so if there is a wildfire in the area, they will evacuate people because as they say they are safe guarding lives people's lives. so the priorities of people to be safe and the factory that the coast guard has been on stand by in case some people are needed to be in by created by c. and what has been done is that people are told to stay. also, they are being informed all the time to stay indoors as much as possible to keep in the shape, to keep hydrated and stay away from, from the sun. that's why the, the clothes, the properly for a few hours in the middle of the day last week was 3 consecutive days. this hasn't happened so far in greece. definitely thank you very much. that was during the

stuff they told us in athens. extreme temperatures of more than 40 degrees celsius are hitting different parts of the world, including asia of north america and europe. in some cases, those high temperatures are connected to something called heat drones. and as the climate warms, scientists are exploring how best to adapt to extreme heat. thomas swells is in japan. they move in to status of the country has been issued heat stripping that other countries across the world, including the us, spain grease and it's lea, a suffering from the heat. the south west of us is scorching because of a heat to the heat. during this close by a massive building up and getting trapped by high pressure on the atmosphere, the high pressure then pushes the at down the on it to the surface is squashed and

gets even hotter. and the cycle continues. scientists are trying to find out how much heat we can handle and the critical temperature has been observed in some animals. ready strangely haven't really being nailed down to human beings. researches unless to groups of people resting for an hour in the mid 20 degrees compact and humidity at $40.50 degrees centigrade. they looked at that 50 energy in metabolic rates. spending an hour between $40.50 degrees centigrade and a human environment was enough for the majority of those studies. participants to show a note where the increase in the metabolic rate, domestic, violating rate increased and the high temperature is more than the scientist expected. such gains can be counter intuitive just to the point when the party clearly wants to be defending himself against increases in temperature. it is

generating more based on heat research as a working to find out whether the spike is dangerous. in the meantime, we can try to keep cool people underestimate the value of a so a fan will uh, increase the rates of feedback proceeds heat loss by making the air immediately around was built a little bit, draw a dressing in to cool. so a ball said people go to balls, getting a cold shower, not too cold into certain pool is a lucky enough to have access somehow to samples. since i see people in montenegro, they've already taken say, look, some other stories making news around the world, say the winter of thailand's election has been temporarily suspended from parliament just hours before his 2nd bid to be confirmed. as prime minister. the
