back under control after they rekindled on thursday evening west of athens. the blazes forced renewed evacuations in an area that experience some relief after 4 days of flyers. dw correspondent, i'm in ease of sense of this report from monterey near athens, where people are seeing their homes and livelihoods devastated in the hills near the greek coastline, and we followed the fire brigade to a hot spot, water bombing planes and helicopters of kept the situation under control until now, the regional commander wants to show us the progress they've made. the when we arrive, the situation has changed. another firefighter tells us the commander can't talk. they have an emergency on their hands. a fire is threatening to spread into a family own summer camp. it's been evacuated, but the owners are still here helping as much as they can. this comes from 1953. and so we have a similar issue that i was very young to them in 1995 and we monitor saved the

savings, then we help the savings. now we were very optimistic, the mornings dollar we are again the very think fontes. they put out a call for help to the fire service to be packed the flames that are approaching the fence. several water bombers managed directed, and the fire smolders. 3 or 4 times, we've seen the fire simmer down because of the water being dumped from the sky, but then 3 or 4 times, the fire re kindled and we've seen them go back out it with hoses and even buckets of water. some of the firefighters have been working through the night in the morning and are exhausted. finally, the commander says he can speak to us because the flames are once again dying down . as long as they were trying to secure this camp here and we're doing everything we kind of, i don't, and for now we're monitoring. that's cool. that's good. but then there's a sudden commotion inside the gates. the camp fire has spread around the back in

just seconds. the hope that prevailed has turned to panic. a wall of flames is coming in on a new front where they weren't prepared. the of the heat is palpable and so is the sense of danger. the owners look on and disbelief and then make a last attempt to save the tents that welcomes summer campers for generations then just like that, it's all over the fire barrels down the 3rd side of the property, moving a 100 meters and 10 or 20 seconds to campus all but surrounded with only one way out. back to the parking lot as fast as possible.

so it looks like they've lost control of the fire here. they're asking everybody to evacuate immediately. the family that braved the wildfires all morning has lost the fights and grief sets in front of the we couldn't do anything. it meant a lot of us and it means us. i don't want to use the past that we've been to the get certain about this. it was all here 20 minutes ago and now and believably, it's gone. but everyone survived in with them. the blueprints for how to rebuild and dw use, i mean is of who filed that report, joins us now from greece. i mean, we saw ordinary people there and that report helping to fight the fires. that must

be very dangerous. sadly, it is very dangerous. it's also very common here, that's because the firefighters are stretched very thin. a local counselor for this town council here told us that it's the majority of people finding fires are volunteers. she claimed that the government was sending almost no help to fight the raging fires around here. the government, on the other hand, says that it's just because they don't have the resources to fire. it's a fight all the fires blazing across greece at the moment, and they warn residents not to stay and evacuation zones and try to save their property. as we saw this can be incredibly dangerous. things can change in just a 2nd. even at this location, the summer camp, where we were, they were firefighters fighting alongside volunteers. and even the firefighters were startled by how fast the spread within 2030 seconds. it went from a fire under control almost to we have to get out here as soon as possible in order

to save our lives. so this is a conundrum for locals, either lose your property because the government doesn't have the resources to save it or lose your life, trying to do that yourself. so sadly, we saw family lose their property, but thankfully nobody lost their lives. i mean, those wild fires around athens have been burning for 5 days now. give us an idea of the destruction they've calls and where things stand in the effort to get the motor control as well. this area that i'm in right now is almost completely charged. houses are burned down. you can see a hill top that has no green foliage left on it, but just the hill across the way is still green and that's where the water bombers are still dumping water constantly. you can hear them in the sky as i speak just yesterday morning. authorities thought that they had this fit of in a hurry,

a fire under control. it's one of the biggest, if not the biggest in greece, but today they're back added a strong winds and increasing temperatures. have with that back up again. uh, prime minister minutes to talk you said that the country remains on high alert because the seat wave just isn't letting up. $42.00 degrees celsius, it's a $108.00 degrees fahrenheit is predicted for sunday. so this weather is going to stay. and as we saw, it's probably not going to be the firefighters that get this under control. it's going to be the weather, a change in the weather that ultimately brings it to an end. and for the foreseeable future, the weather isn't going to change. and thank you so much, dw, corresponding, i'm in is if they're in a just outside of athens, let's take a look at some other news from around the world, the reformist party, the one thailand's election move forward says it will be, this is, it will back a new candidate for prime minister after its own leaders bid was ported, throwing

a support behind the nominee from the populace boot high party. the runner up. that's after the move forward leader peter, him to run rod failed to get support from the army by senate leading the pedagogy says it has no information on the condition or the whereabouts of private travis king. the us soldier, we crossed into north thrift. he's now considered to be absent without leave. after fleeing across the heavily fortified border during a tour of the demilitarized zone on tuesday, the us army has launched an investigation into his disappearance. the world's biggest rice supply or india has banned some overseas exports with immediate effect in the move that could push global prices even higher. daily said it would hold sales have some types of white rice that make up about a quarter of its total exports. rise prices have already stored in recent years. now the war and ukraine in chief has responded in kind to

a russian threat to treat ships bound for ukraine as potential enemy targets div says it will also consider bustles, traveling through russian ports or russian occupied ukrainian territory to be potentially carrying arms. both developments follow a decision by the kremlin earlier this week to end a deal that allowed grain to be exported through the black sea. un security council will meet on friday to address the humanitarian consequences of russia's withdrawal from that agreement. c. w is nick conway is n t. i asked him if these threats from both sides to attack ships means that the black sea is becoming another battle ground in the war. i think it certainly is has to be said that back see, has already seen it's 5 share ultimate attraction. remember the flagship of the russian. lexi fleets must go out, was sunk by the ukrainians last year,

every single those repeated ukrainian attempts to destroy the crime in bridge. but now this, these threats against commercial shipping really imposes totally different economic price. and i think the interesting thing and all this is how surprised the russian side was the ukraine is basically followed the russian threat with it. so when you're looking at the kind of russian state media, they just really didn't know how to report a list. there was some kind of sense of inc, would you see that ukraine was gonna up down to the same way that russia had? and i think where you created perspective, what's kind of useful about this is here, we have to do anything to already impose a significant economic price. we're going to see the insurance companies probably most likely, refusing to insure ships heading to russian ports. we're gonna see maybe a ship bonus from other countries thinking twice about whether it's worth sending the ships towards russian fort, so you don't have to even send any ukrainian worship. so drones to attack anything . there's also the question of naval minds that even without any intent, usually travel quite a lot of distance off for a while. so you can create a kind of perception of safety being gone of danger. and that already means the

russia has to face. i think costs and think about defending shipping in a way that it just was not really only even though, because it's all over the world. high school students are celebrating graduation around this time of year in ukraine. the russian war of aggression has destroyed well over 3000 schools and educational facilities and disruptive school life for millions, dw, use, abraham, went to a school outside t if, where students who have seen their education up turned still remain hopeful about the future. so these are not your typical graduation photos. no celebrations, no festivities. for for the class of 2023 at this high school outside kids. it's the only way they want it to mark this milestone. put through blue shield supervisory. sure. i wanted the world to see what happened to my school by to sure to see that i did not get hung up on the fact that it burned down. i'm showing up.

i'm still alive. say shit is a little was before the war. their school had just been renovated, it's principal tells me she's on it, hosted 400 students, russian troops that occupied the town and use the school as their base. they took household items such as washing machines from homes. as they were driven out, they set it on fire. this room where i am right now. this was the theatre in the cafeteria, a place full of laughter. now, just look at it, look at the devastation here. the russians, they spared absolutely nothing. they even said the buses outside, on fire, as they retreated. it flies in the face of any russian claims that they do not target civilian infrastructure. the school principal shows me what is left of her office. to me still here was my desk of fort lauderdale with cabinets on both sides

of it to, to my lucas, do not. and there was a large wall with magazines of school certificates go oh, the records that any school would keep living with a whole month on where your kid is very high. of course, my school of when i came to the school for the 1st time of to defend um, it was horrifying to see when he used to work here every day. invest just so you cheer time and sometimes sacrifice your location. like me like our teachers. her students had to complete their high school years at a nearby village. they travelled to every day, leaving their memories behind, to go into symmetrical as others to jessica lucy, when you look at the school, if you remember those times when everyone headphones played games and started to believe, go with political literally. julie says no, it's so set to look at it now. and i think some of them do it to so many people have to sit to this. it will give we studied him for 10 years. man, all the moments, the memories, the videos, the jugs seeing you politically he's,

it's a g so difficult to look lot and it's like you have destroyed from inside. the president of all is said, and since the beginning of the war over 3300 academic institutions have been damaged or destroyed in ukraine on another side, as a former education minister and is now in education activist with the war showing no signs of ending any time soon, she tells me faster solutions are needed for affected students. the scale damage if, if it's enormous, right? and it's at once cool school like this to build it back to build it entirely new as a couple of 1000000 around 78000000 years. and it requires years, so places like this do need this more jeweler solutions that are temporary. however, it's also a question what it's temporary is 2 years temporary, 3 years temporary. it seems like a, a and a lifetime for kids who go to the high school. right? in many ways,

the students at this high school are like many of their counterparts around the world. they have big dreams, want to make money, travel the world, and look forward to the freedoms college life could offer. one wants to develop code. the other wants to become a psychologist and another is just not sure yet. but the war and occupation have left their mark on the young adults. they've become, are these thoughts, you know what this is done? i began to appreciate life small, understand everything can disappear in a moment, fox, the, the, by the way, and thank you. we're not set children anymore. that's how the war has affected us on. that's why i just want to live until tomorrow and died. this is the main goal and for the work to end ending towards something they have no control over. but it's forged a determination to keep fighting for what matters. their future and data, but use a abraham who filed that report, joins us now here in the studio. a powerful report there

a uh the young man telling you that he just wants to live till tomorrow. um, what kind of impact is all this having on the education of young people in ukraine? well, it's really an education interrupted if we can summarize it with one word there the visible inter interruptions. so buildings, schools like this destroyed we. there is evidence that rushes actually targets school and educational buildings because often times during showing they're used as a, as a place for people to go and seek a protection. we saw a lot of this, particularly in the early phases of the war, and what that means for students is that they have to find alternative solutions that are not always ideal for the students. they have to be bused about an hour every day to go to a, a, another school in nearby village. some of the other kids, the younger kids from that school had to get their education in, in an, in a place that was a cultural center. you know, putting up a very thin walls to make classrooms, and in a, in schools in ukraine,

whenever there was an air raid at the kids are required to go to a shelter underground. and in a typical day, this can happen any time up to between 2 to 3 times. and so you can imagine the kind of impact that that has on them. these are the visible impacts and under the invisible ones, like the milestones that they're missing out on, you know, having a week of celebration that sets them up to life after school. i mean, i remember when i graduated from high school diploma to treat together in the backyard and you know, even though i was eager to leave high school, it was a good way to say goodbye and to you know, i look forward to the next step in this case, we just don't have these memories anymore. the burden of more for these young people must be, must be tremendous how, how are they and their families coping? my sense is that we don't really understand the scale of the scale of the

psychological impact on children when i've been reporting in ukraine for a while. and even when we're not doing reports about children or schools, i asked people will. how are your kids coping? we always hear the same things that children don't respond to explosions anymore. their sense of what danger is has changed. one woman said that her son, you know, once time he saw a rocket and said, well mom, i don't know what, what, what's the worst that could happen that it could hit us that i could die. that's ok . i would rather not go to a shelter, and there's also a sense of resentment and an hatred. one woman told me that her grandson has started saying things like, you know, the heating russians wanting to, you know, hurt people. and so there's a huge psychological impact that's really invisible. 11 woman told me that she feels like the distribution of ukrainian children is the last generation of ukraine . and so we're, i think not yet there. yeah. where we can really assess the impact. but obviously there's a lot of work to be done on the psychological side as well. after all the trauma,

do these young people still want to study further in ukraine or are, or are they thinking about leaving the country? well, i think it's important. remember that for a lot of them, that might not be an option soon, the students that i met, they're all a young man. they're about to turn 18. and that is, that means that they can't really leave the country if they want to, even on holiday. because of course marshal are, requires men between the ages of 18 and 60 to stay in the country. they will, if they go to university, have some exception exemptions from service, but they can't just leave with that being said, my general impression especially talking to them people is that they want to take whatever they learn to rebuild the country and are really, really committed to being part of the future of the country once this war and in one way or another. a thank you very much for your reporting for your insights data use abraham still to south africa where authorities are trying to find out what caused

a massive explosion in the central business district of johannesburg. on wednesday, one person was confirmed dead and dozens of people were injured to the public had been warned to avoid the area. it's rush hour and central jo, his bag mini bus taxi's line this busy streets and no one is put pads to what's about to happen. c, c t, v footage. so i literally capturing the moments as the road is ripped to pods by the force of an explosion. there's panic as people run for cover. and those costs inside vehicles try to escape a video show to the aftermath. so it's a scene of devastation. there's confusion about what's just happened both though i teach late to saying this an a be a covering, an estimated 5 city blocks has been damaged with dozens induced and then these one

person found the emergency operation going into the night's space growing that it could happen again, the nearby spins this to me. i'm very soft and i'm no, sir, i'm. i'm thinking of would like to be somewhere where it is a house tones. well, i know that i said, yeah, most of the just still trying to work out what caused the blast, a gas leak initially being blaine's with witnesses reporting chemical load is an escaping vapors. following the incident, if it shows up on the public to stay away from the area, is investigations continue with the sides. well, here in the land,

police are continuing their search for what's thought to be a lion. on the lose, a $120.00 police officers are taking part in the operation after a local resident caught the big cat on film in a wooded area in the south western suburbs, a short video which caused a huge, a pearl. a big cat caught on camera. apparently attacking awhile bull in a sub just outside bullying. police have mounted a massive search operation of the area, even bringing vets and hunters in an attempt to capture the way which the line while authorities are taking the thought you'd seriously warning residents to be allowed to keep pets and children and goals. the men tried to a life is with some tongue in cheek humor on venice interface expect to get this assigned a case. there are people making shows, find the notes our new way of something. bob balls to use line. this is the because we're still trying to do it the regular way, and then i would not setting up

a set of getting taught to solve the waterfall problem. it got to be explained what it is, a serious situation in logan locals in the area on taking any chances are uncomfortable, usually 2 little ducks on. that's probably ideal line food 12 i've tried, least for missing bought. i have to be honest. i'm a product to this because it's a different caliber compared to a normal dog or another pet that has run away. so i'm going to run home. no, i'm going to bring home open here this, i mean. and well, the search continues. speculation mounts about where exactly the line is came from . betty and zoo says no animals are missing. the local suckers says is not this either. is this to yourself got there is no way that this animal escaped from a circus. it's because apart from circus krona, there was no one with wild animals on the road in germany at the moment. imagine there's more to go into these experts say if anyone encounters the line as to avoid

sudden movements. generally they just stand still and look at what the animal is doing, then the animal, even if it is noticed, you will stand still and look at what you are doing so good. so which task? since the animal gains control of the situation, i can decide what it does next. it's only to tune up. so now at least the queen of the jungle seems to have made himself queen of the forest at the women's world comp, canada missed an opportunity to join australia at the top of group b with nigeria, holding them to a goal. this draw, canada had the best chance of the match but christine sinclair saw her 2nd hand penalties saved the jury is deborah, i'll be doing was then said hoffen injury time after video review. the nigerians were far from happier or far happier with the result which leaves them both teams. 2 points ahead behind rather australia for one day
