to use it a lot more now i will actually on the, on the, on the slicing social and seeking your self determined life. and let's go from drudgery and abuse stuff over on d. w. the, this is deed of the news line from berlin. protein has begun the in springs general election. the left one government of prime minister pedro sanchez appears headed for defeat, but conservative rivals and we need far right health to form a new government. also coming off,

greece is headed for as long as the heat wave on record. tens of thousands are evacuated from the wildfire ravaged island of rhodes, while tourist attractions like the front palace face emergency closures. and rochelle launch is a new wave of missiles at new cleaning ports video jesup, telling us civilian in damaging its cathedral. the top comes hours before the leaders of russia and fellows need to discuss some deeper military ties the there until welcome to the program. motors in spain are heading to the polls today in a snap and general election. one that could see a significant swing to the right for the country. prime minister pedro sanchez was among the 1st to cast his vote. as prince opened the conservative opposition people's party half been leading in the polls,

but they're likely to fall short of an absolute majority. until recently, the conservatives had promised enough to work with the far right fox party. but now they are expected to meet their backing to form a new government opposing them, or the socialists and the new left. when move with the consumer, got a bit deeper into the story. i'm now joined by the w reporter of loud reese, 3 of us. so loud on what exactly can we expect from today's elections? so eyes are on today's results and to see whether it's funny are sign any go for the right or the left block. as a you were saying, the polls have been saying in the past weeks that they can say about these by people who are, we get the most votes, but they will, might, for short to have enough votes to have a government by themselves. so in this case, they will need the fire right blocks to form a government. if this happens, if would be the 1st time that then open the fire right party gets into power ever.

seems fransisco franco, that he thinks or died in 1975. these would confirm a trend that we are seeing across europe that defy right these need to goldberg and of course they're out of high hopes among the far right leaders in europe and for example, the georgia maloney, the prime minister will safely, has given public support to box the spar right party in spain. so what exactly is driving voters to the far right in spain are the particular issues that are moving them or is this more a trend because of a lower voter turnout? so in this location, it's not that this far right party has more support that it had 4 years ago in 2019 when the last election took place. but probably they will be meeker so they will be needed to form a government in this case. the conservative tradition of park the by people who are, we have to make some concessions towards the right them some of their positions. and this is a party box that is strongly on integration. the defense,

traditional values, cathartic values. they oppose abortion. they are against maria. and of a people, they are also a party that the nice the existence of climate change and they are strongly, nationally as they are post am region still have power. they would like spain to be a more centralized on and country. and they go as far as seeing that they would like to bond for independence largest like the ones we have in catalonia and in their buses and countries. so these what can happen we have seen in the past weeks, these collision between the traditional conservatives on the far right going to into power in different regions and cities across paint. and among some of the state 1st measures they took is binding rainbow flux from public buildings. so what do you say? so what, what can happen? no. why exactly did peter sanchez call for these of elections? if there was a chance that he could lose? and they actually have to embrace

a party which doesn't actually support his style of politics? this was a very person, i gambled that federal scientists need. he took everybody by surprise they they, after she's socially spark the last election, the local election, the me, he saw that his chances would be bigger if he didn't wait until the end of the year when the election was scheduled to happen. he has been calling last week both there's and since these folders to go through the policies trying to mobilize them . but for anthony, that if the fluoride gets into foward, this would put to spain into a time machine back to obscure times. so he's saying watch out, and he's warning that this can be a state, but for very progressive policies in spain. and also for example, that they would withdrawal pool and policies to protect the environment or for equality. and we need to take into account that fee is to regard these as a survivor. often when everybody saw that's it would be hosted that he wouldn't

mind. it's vital to manage to survive. i see it has not worked. so this could happen today. again, that's the amount of just the space. right, so major gamble on the part of the spanish prime minister. all right, well, we're going to leave it there. thank you for bringing this down for us. greece is bracing for as long as heat wave on record. almost 2 weeks of sizzling temperatures have foreclosures of tourist attractions and evacuations of resorts and forecasts are showing no signs of cooling down in the near future. wildfires have stretched firefighting resources to the limit looks most recently on the engine island of rhodes, where some 30000 people were moved to safety on saturday. for thousands of vacationers stay on roads turns into a nightmare. as they are forced to flee a wild fire burning out of control with flames, blocking roads many have to escape on foot to save for places. they receive emergency lodgings in schools, gyms and even aboard passenger, fairies,

coast guard vessels and private ships rescue. thousands of people who couldn't reach safety over land with temperatures over 40 degrees celsius and strong winds firefighters have been facing a tough battle. official se could take several more days to contain the blaze. in athens, taurus lineup for different reasons. a slow march up, the steps of the acropolis during greece is hottest weekend in 50 years. he's good. here's a fan. even though it's already $36.00 degrees by 9 30 am. the line here is longer than usual. visitors are in a hurry to get in before it's closed for the hottest part of the day. getting enough water where we can survive. i mean, it's quite a line and,

and i'm sure it's going to be worth it at the end. i just threw out and i'm trying to collect myself again and waiting to see this. i've wanted to see this my entire life. i hope i can make it like in many other popular sites across the country, the closures are meant to deal with a brutal heat in roads and other places affected by forest fires. more drastic measures are necessary. as the heat wave comes closer to becoming the longest on record, increase, the misery for locals and visitors keeps dragging on. russia has launched a new wave of missiles at the craning port city of a jesup. this came hours before a plan summit between russian president vladimir putin and isabella, russian allied, alexander location where they are expected to discuss the deepening the military

alliance. officials say, one person was killed and at least 19 wounded. the overnight attack, including 4 children, just as transfiguration, cathedral was badly damaged in the range as well. russia has repeatedly attacked the strategic port city since moscow pulled out of a green export deal almost a week ago. earlier i spoke to marina and they run a military analyst at king's college, london, and i asked her what's behind moscow's increased attacks on the desk since it withdrew from the you in bag green deal this past monday. a good morning. error. well, on the one hand is a way of russia argues, is it's a retribution for the attack on the courage bridge. and we have to go back a little bit to the very beginning of the conflict. and the idea was less cheer for russia to gain control of all the ukrainian ports and to control access to the black sea. so i think pulling out of the green deal now gives rushes the

oppertunity or is the excuse to attack or desktop in warren and to try to isolate, to crane and make it land locked. and it has several layers of implications, not least for russian, for us has own green exports and for the tightening grip on the african countries by russia. after the latest attacks ukraine renewed, it's called for more missile and defense systems from the western allies. do you think you're likely to get them? it is possible that you create and will get more air defense systems. the problem is, however, is what types of missiles will be used by russia on the one hand. the other problem is where those air defense systems will be located because you kind of put them all over to blanket the entire territory of ukraine. understood problem that we're facing as missiles for those systems that also need to be deliver it. and so there

are these moving parts where it's not sure which countries will be delivering systems and whether there is enough missiles for ukraine to be delivered at this point in time. so what am i seeing? rush, exploiting the scale, arriving, given the current russian regression rather and surprise me. zalinski said that ukraine will intensify its attacks and russian targets in the coming days. and we've seen any evidence of that so far as well. we have seen a tax on the, i mean you shouldn't be pull in crime me or yesterday morning or as a night. it is possible that you created would intensify. a tax however, would have to separate what is political reference from an actual military plans. and i think that the military leadership of ukraine knows not to more than about possible attacks as to be able to achieve

a strategic surprise. so it remains to be seen what happens. but russia will certainly be on alert. right. that was really a mirror and a military analyst at king's college london. thank you very much for your analysis . the to football now and in the women's world cup, sweeping to have secured a last gas wind over south africa. and the 1st game of the group g in wellington, with the score locked at 11, the land lease that it came sweden's hair when with her game winning to hit her in the last minute. the narrow victory put sweden on top of ruth g. a. had their game against easily on saturday. brazil and argentina or to football is most iconic names. but their preparations for the women's world cup in australia. new zealand had been wildly different. t w's tom's and knowing when to find out why

isn't charles presented to the gold coast reset us? i was basing astray, deal was chosen for it's with us. it's always connected location and it's world clause facilities. it is the ideal spring board to a world cup campaign. we have planned this for a very long time, and uh we welfare pretty early actually compared with a lot of other teams so well, yeah we, we are very happy. most of the assistant coach, literally pass and was part of the reconnaissance mission sent over to australia to scout hotels. trips like that on luck to reach to which not every federation stretch where was presented squad flew to a stranger and a child to play in some 3 weeks ahead of their 1st game. that old rivals argentina had a different experience. the last of their play is only arrived in new zealand on thursday, just 5 days out from the open out. not much time to recover from the inevitable jet black form, argentina keep gabby gotten is disappointed in her say to ration but fall from

surprise and that they couldn't fit all the players into business or 1st class. so they sent them in 3 different trips as a professional athlete, and heading into, you know, the biggest competition you'll probably be part of in your life. you know, if you're not getting a good night sleep before the game, it's going to affect your performance of these problems would be familiar to many teams at this. well, come the 1st right conditions enjoyed by the brazilian squad, make them the outlier among south american sites. argentina is much closer to the rest of south america, then to the rest of the world, which is crazy. considering the amount of resources that they have coming in, especially following, you know, winning the, the men's world cup. the goals between the pre tournament programs of these 2 neighboring nations is at least in part, a reflection of the importance of this that durations,

ascribe to the woman's game. it also demonstrates the stratification of the sports scene right across the seas. competition, where the gap between the house and the have nots seemed wider than ever. and you're up to date, but to stay tuned. up next doc films presents a look at growing poverty infringement, despite historically low unemployment. but after a short break. and remember, if you need more news to undergo, you can always check out d, w dot com. or of course you can look us up on social media of where our handle is at the w news. i'm here until for lynn. thanks for joining us. the imagine how many portion of loads us are now in the world climate change. the storage space is much less the way from just one week.
