4:02 pm
a journalist to see my group. to see my room a broke it's record high yesterday. hitting 41.8 degrees celsius. how is italy handling this level of extreme heat as well as clearly having an effect on the medical services here? i mean, you're seeing an increasing number of people trying to get medical care of the emergency number. they saw a 15 percent increase in the number of calls meet the at the hospital a quarter of those coming in seeking medical care coming in to deal with t related issues such as the hydration or simply painting as a result of the extreme heat. because romans hear any talents in general, i used to the hot sweat the but what you're seeing here is back to back the waves. and that extended period of ha, have weather is not helping and well $23.00 out of 27 cities in italy, a current on currently on the rate of lead that just in just affect those most fragile. it also is across the population that this is potentially dangerous.
4:03 pm
they're given those health risk. what kinds of measures have authorities put in place in order to protect those who are most vulnerable? well, what the health ministry has done is that they've put together a special mind one can coal in order to find out about the health services available. and they also know about health workers that are going to be visiting the elderly when it's required that people also and can be to just find them groceries because to prevent or discovery stand from going out. those at, during the horses out of the day of the emergency room house because now we have a seat co code where the dedicated medical stuff dealing with people coming in with a cheap related ailments. but it's not just the elderly also have the homeless as well, having to deal with the situation that in naples, for instance, they providing free showers for a lot of the homeless people so that they can just bring the body temperatures down . got seem a is, is seeing extreme record breaking weather like this influence in public debate in
4:04 pm
italy on what to do about climate change as well. i think there's some frustration for a lot of people that these things are being discussed right now. while we're in the situation of this extreme, where the passing end instead being discussed when things are normal, that doesn't happen enough. and some have suggested that that needs to be done will often because it's not just these extreme heat waves that we're seeing. we've seen earlier this. yeah, extreme drought that led to very dangerous floods where people lost their lives. it's, well, it's all interconnected, unrelated, and parts of climate change. no study carried out by a climate change think tank here in italy said that the country italians, a majority of them, are fully aware of the climate crisis and climate change. they want action to be done, but there is a distrust of the politicians, the institutions as well as the media as to what actually can be done to deal with it. and they feel as if there is a lack of representation on this issue across the political spectrum. so
4:05 pm
frustration with that we got the for the moment. the concern is about dealing with the current situation, the emergency situation of these extreme temperatures seamless. thank you so much for bringing us up to speed. that's what seemed like a dining room. really appreciate it. like stream temperatures aren't only had in europe, north america, asia and north africa are affected to. in some cases, the high temperatures are linked to something called heat stones. tom maxwell is in japan. they move in to status of the country has been issued heat striping that other countries across the world including the us, spain grease and it's lea, a suffering from the heat. the south west of the us is scorching because of a heat the heat during this close by a massive building up and getting trapped by high pressure in the atmosphere. the
4:06 pm
high pressure then pushes the at down the on it to the surface, is squashed and gets even hotter. and the cycle continues or 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 degrees of people resting for an hour in the mid 20 degrees compact and humidity at $40.50 degrees centigrade. they looked at that 50 origin metabolic rates. spending an hour between $40.50 degrees centigrade and a human environment was enough for the majority of the studies participants to show a note where the increase in the metabolic rate domestic violence rate increased. and the high temperature is more than the scientist expected. such gains can be
4:07 pm
counter intuitive just to the point when the body 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 firm. so a fan will uh, increase the rates of in fact receive heat loss by making the immediately around one's ability a little bit. draw a dressing in to cool to 8 ball safe. people go to balls getting a cold shower, not too cold into shooting for say, lucky enough to have access somehow to swimming pools since advice. the seasoning montenegro is already taken while a second's night of what ukraine calls
