the scoring we say they were about never giving up sports flies every weekend on d w. the . this is deed of the news line from berlin. voting is underway in spain's general election. the left wing, the government of prime minister peter sanchez, appears headed for defeat. but the conservative rivals may need far right health to form a government. also coming up in greece is headed for as long as she'd waive on record

. tens of thousands are evacuated from the wildfire. ravage island of rhodes, while tourist attractions like the prophet list, face convergence enclosures. russian launch is a new wave of missiles. i do crating ports if you have a dsl killing us civilian intelligence cathedral. the time comes as color russian leader alexander lucas shanker, is its russian to deepen, to discuss rather deep and military ties with one year for the american told me berlin, thanks for joining us. voters in spain are casting their ballots in a snap of general election. they could see a significant swing to the right for the country. prime minister pedro sanchez was among the 1st to vote. as pulls open, the conservative opposition people's party have been leading in the polls are

likely to fall short of an absolute majority. until recently, the conservatives had problems not to work with the far right box party. look, now that's expected. that's expected that their seats will be needed to form a government opposing them, or the socialists and the new left who move that consumer. a bit deeper into the story, i'm now joined by the w reporter of loud old 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 concert, but they fight, they apply, or 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, it would be the 1st time that an 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. those easily 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 seen makers. they will be needed to form a government in this case, the conservative tradition of the part, the part, the lar, we have to make some concessions towards the right them some of their positions. and this is a party box that is a strongly anti integration. the defense,

its traditional values, cathartic values, they oppose abortion. they are against am marietta and of a people. they are also a party that'd be 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 the basket and country. so these what can happen we have seen in the past weeks, these coalition 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 he's 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 then since these folders to go through the policies, trying to mobilize them. but strengthening that if the far right gets into power, 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 pull and policies to protect the environment or for equality. and we need to take into account that fee is regardless as a survivor. often when everybody saw that she would be hosted that he wouldn't

manage to manage to survive, i'd 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. as greece is bracing for as long as he live on record, almost 2 weeks of sizzling temperatures have forced closures of tourist attractions, and evacuations of resorts and forecasts are showing no sign of the weather. cooling down. wildfires have stretched firefighting resources to their limits. most recently, on the june, the island of rhodes or 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 wildfire burning out of control. with flames blocking roads many have to escape on foot to safer places. they receive emergency lodgings and 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. is a quick look at some other stories making headlines around the world. twitter owner, you on mosque says he's considering the police and the bird logo, and possibly the brand of the online messaging service. musk says it may be renamed x dot com, a domain he has own for years, but not used. and it's main color could change from blue to black skin. bodies have

been cast on their balance in an election set to keep prime minister when signing power. critics have called the poll a quote force of democracy. the main opposition party was band on the technicality . before pulling began 70 year old ones and is a former to me, a rouge member who's been ruling since 1985 doctor sees really prime minister benjamin netanyahu. his health condition is stable after the overnight operation to implant a hard pace maker. he's expected to leave hospital later on sunday. the surgery comes ahead in parliament on a controversial to just a little overall bill. one that has brought tens of thousands of protesters to the streets. russia has launched a new wave of missiles at the ukrainian port city of adjustment. this came hours before a summit between russian president vladimir putin and his bell with russian ally, alexander concussion. come where they are expected to discuss and deepening their military alliance. officials say one person was killed and at least 19 wounded in

the overnight attack, including 4 children, just as transfiguration, cathedral was badly damaged in the raid. russia has repeatedly attacked the strategic port city since moscow pulled out of a green deal almost a week ago. earlier i spoke to marina me, you're on a military analyst at kings college london, and i asked her what's behind moscow has increased a tax on idea. so since withdrew from that, you went back to greenville 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 last year 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 the warranted to try to isolate, to crate it 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 its western allies. do you think they'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 then entire territory of ukraine. and the 3rd problem that we're facing as missiles for those systems that also need to be deliver it. and so the

rosie is 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 we might see russia exploiting the scale. all right, and given the current russian regression rather than surprise means, the lensky 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 munition, the pool in crimea yesterday morning or as a night. um, it is possible that you created what the intensify of tax, however, would have to separate what is political reference from the actual military plans. and i think that the military leadership of the printer knows not to more than about possible attacks, asked 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 maria mirror and a military analyst at king's college london. thank you very much for your analysis . brazil and argentina are 2 footballs, most iconic names. but the preparations for the women's world cup in australia and new zealand had been wildly different. come getting all i went to find out why or isn't charles presented to the gold coast reset as i was basing australia was chosen for it's with us, it's always a good 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 the we welfare pretty early actually for you compared with a lot of other teams so well, yeah we, we are very happy. where was presumed squad fleetwood straight here in the shelter
