12:02 pm
for ation. the deputies, rosie, but child travel to the region to meet some of those hottest hits, by what's being described to slip in use was natural t as often as a of the, after the deluge, dirt, debris and sludge coats. this will be in tone of turn and not cold or skim local carpenter benedict's protection. nick is trying to save what's left of his family home. them didn't know that i was. i'm always there right now. we're living the day today. we don't know what's going to happen and i don't, i don't there think about the future a man and somehow he takes us insight. his tools are ruined and he doesn't know how or when he'll work again. so they all say, all of us set up the set up on the water,
12:03 pm
came all the way up to here. it was all over the mountain. now we have the help of the firefighters. they're really doing an amazing job for them, but they are not the only ones upstairs. the clean up continues. neighbors drain mode from each other's homes with soldiers drafted in to be up for relief efforts near the center for the we are happy we can help people and do you t. that's all that matters. and or we can do such a task ahead is massive because bridges have collapsed and roads has been damaged including fresh water and leading officials say that leading all of this down. it's really and that's why the small country has called on other nations for help. germany is sending prefabricated bridges. fronts has offered machinery and croatia
12:04 pm
is sending trucks. the president tells us that's only slain. i am happy that we are part of european union and you'd opinion and there are a lot of funds. so really i cannot get it. you know what we do. we do not have enough money to repair all the damage. we are aware of that fact we do have courageous people, hard working people and we hope on solidarity. i know that all the damages could not be and will not be paid. but civilians are stubborn and nation, you know, and, and, and, and we are used to start from scratch 0 wish the sun shining overtures and the locals don't fear more flash floods for no thought so. so ortiz are still keeping watch, because up in the hills, the risk of land flights remains withdrawing now by detail these rosie the child who filed that report for us from slovenia, rosie, can you give us an update on how the release assets all going?
12:05 pm
i mean, the pictures were saying are quite extraordinary. extraordinary. and these will, this massive clean up is very much underway here behind me. there's some volunteer firefighters that have traveled from the sides of the country to try and help with this flood hit region to try and, you know, help local businesses and people to start thinking about how to rebuild box. the challenge remains enormous because several times in the villages, particularly in the north, remain cuts off. we saw for example, and not report the only way we could reach that time was with a military escort alone, very winding and damage roads. we sold the side, collapsed bridges, don't power lines, and we've been told that sizes of people, there are still without access to running walter and the army told us that may be the case for up to 2 weeks, more notes. the efforts are very much underway. we've seen people working right in the clock. there's certainly no shortage of goodwill or willingness to act. but it looks like the task ahead really is enormous. we've been told 1st of all that it
12:06 pm
may be 500000000 euros worth of damage without figure not. we government estimates or going into the billions. okay, so we're talking big money here. now we know that was left on the line that you commission president is in slovenia. today was helpless. she liked me to be offering a sylvia is a small country around 2000000 people and that's why it's ask neighbors for help is made a very clear coal for support activating the use civil protection mechanism. and the support already has been on the way we know, for example, a german heavy cargo helicopter has arrived near speed expert team cent, from nearby nations to try and be felt the efforts here and there are some of underline, has been herself a one of those for drug ravaged regency, troubled by helicopter, and his back in this will be in capital. she says she is here to bring message of more support. and i think for meetings will be interested to hear about those immediate efforts, but also in the longer term when it comes to reconstruction,
12:07 pm
particularly for businesses. i mean, this one behind me some sort of a mechanical institution where you can see that the machinery is just destroyed and that's what we've heard also from locals as they're concerned. longer term about jobs, about jobs in these northern regents. in particular, one mayor, which were the, almost in tears when he said he just doesn't know how that will. how does reconstruction efforts could go down the line? because the jobs in hays region, he said, are really dying to factories and factories circle surface level machinery, which has not been destroyed and these spots. so people thinking longer term, but many of them still have to say thing. they're really just living day to day. they can't imagine what comes next, which brings me nicely onto my next question, but let me give them the level of destruction this libyans are having to deal with . what is it the people need most gently right now? well, there are people on the streets trying to help. there is no shortage at the sight of people willing to get their boots on to bring walter,
12:08 pm
both those to bring space and to get to work. but with that level of goodwill comes other problems. and we've heard, for example, government agencies warning that people who are vulnerable so pregnant women or children should be careful with cleaning up because of the risk of infectious disease. so there are so that is willing to help, but of course, what they say they needs more is expert. so we're that we will likely see more expert teams coming in from other countries to help out here. and to look really at the, the, the series of problems which is of course, try to reconstruct bridges because people that are cut off still from drinking water from the running water access. well that of course is what we've been told is a priority, especially for local authorities trying to help people in these most direst conditions are easy, but shot in slovenia. thank you so much for that. now in south western europe, hundreds of 5 fights has a baffling, a wild fire in portugal that has been burning it. now for days. the liberian
12:09 pm
peninsula is in the grip of it's a heat wave. this year. temperatures have topped 40 degrees celsius across portugal and also in neighboring spain. 5 days on the spot in southern portugal is still binding its own ready tomb through 10000 hector's land. despite the best efforts of molding a $1005.00 fighters, the blazes grand so large is visible from space as it spreads towards the popular al golf tourist region. in 20 villages and mold and 1400 people threatened by the flames have been false to evacuate, already followed. it was horrible. that was fine. every when we had to fend for ourselves, nobody was said to help us. but lucky godfrey from those who came forth, it shows that because the portuguese authorities have designated more than a 100 municipalities at the maximum level of wildfire, risk of to days of high temperatures across the boulder in spain,
12:10 pm
firefighters are also dealing with a wild fight in the west and region of x ray madura locals here, a worried about the loss of ancient woodland and then with the gun we're worried and upset because we have an enormous mass of forest just to use. and teen recall golds. and we feel very sad, for example, the offender, nadia. you know, if i'm with helping people all across spain have been dealing with punishing conditions with 45 degree heat in the southern city of cordova. and similar hides across the waves of the country. authorities urging people to stay in doors to protect the health sciences. say climate change is helping push temperatures to new extremes with july confirmed as the planets hottest month on record a lot. and we already know the summers are getting hotter and hotter with climate change. so well,
12:11 pm
we'll have to prepare and train ourselves to cope with them as well as possibly with this any thought otherwise. i'll talk to you real quick, i'll be ready grappling with reco temperatures, increasing wildfires and historic water shortages. unfortunately, supports going in spain. the future doesn't look much bright to the whole iberian peninsula is set to be one of the european regions hit hardest by climate change. as we can get more from dw is young phillips, right. so is in the spanish city of seville young phillip, i know it is very hot. why you oh and it's due to get hotter in the coming days. can you give us a sense of how things all of a it's really extreme at the moment. we are in the for each wave this year. already today, temperatures seems to be dropped a little bit to 3637 degrees. and some people are actually, they dare to come outside out of that. how is it? but it's not the ends of the heat, right? but forecasts are predicting up to 46 degrees in the coming day to stay
12:12 pm
at home. they put the air conditioning systems to maximum power or they, they, they leave a city in search of, of without places usually along the coastline vibes. so the, yeah, it's still not one of the worst effected places. there are tons, especially in the east and in the south street. well, a tap water is called for the parts of the day and of cause the wildfires all around so spain into neighboring parts of our route. thousands of people have to be evacuated at the moment. can you tell us what the government is doing to try to help people cope with this level of extreme heat that certainly not doing enough thousands of people, especially a lot of people have died this year already due to the heat and still and a lot of old people's homes and a lot of groups that are still not no air conditioning assistance in place. and
12:13 pm
that is also a criticism regarding regional governments because it's not only the national government, it's also regional governments that are in charge to try to provide fund emergency health. they distribute bottles of water to people that have to work outside in the heat and they bring what attracts to places that are in a state of emergency. but besides those search, a measure of political discussions affecting to grow if the large scale farming the industrial farming here in states might have to change also because this is the major watch i consume at the moment. all right, dw is young incentive sites for forcing that from seville. thank you so much and try and stay cool. if you can. it's a k. we got to take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world and 41 migrants have reportedly died in
12:14 pm
a mediterranean ship right now. it's according to survivors pulled from the war. so who arrived on the italian island of alarm producer? it's not yet known. if the reports find italian broad, costa is connected to 2 separate migrant vessel tragedies, which happened over the weekend near the island. i've left schools missing, principals, ortiz say that 11 people are missing off for a fire broke out at a holiday home. so people with disabilities and local official says, it's likely that the missing have wi fi. it broke out early on wednesday morning in the small town of vincent time, near the gym and for the leaders of the amazon rain forest nations have agreed to form an alliance to flight deforestation. the agreement was reached on the 1st day of a summons in the present and city of belgium. and a joint statement. lanita says, i hope to prevent the amazon from reaching a point of no return. and jerry is pushing for
12:15 pm
a diplomatic solution to the coo and neighboring need. yeah, a spokesman for nigerian president bulletin to boost said he wanted to avoid military intervention. jerry, and we'll check those days missing of the echo us regional group in response to the qu, lead his refusal to relinquish power. it's now position groups and the central african republic have rejected a recent referendum that approved a new constitution. this allows the president, 1st off charge to a did i to seek a cert and office opponent say the change will make him president for life. they claim he's being supported by russia's wagner militia, d, w. 's. go to try. a tra, may need reports. now from the central african republic, it seems like every sounding yes for postings and all change for the country. reach in gold, diamonds on team boss, but also written by on rice. this motive around them vote for constitutional change
12:16 pm
could now allow president to force the outcomes for the wrong to run for the term in office. the referendum is marked by controversy, but the president gave his pump of approval. so it ends on 2 minutes, a feeling of fulfilling civic duty, i feel accomplished. i have done my civic duty and like all my compadre outs from the central african republic who came to vote, i feel proud. yes. because it was the demand of the central african people they did that. so i think people will vote for this new order on the privilege i don't. cuz it the more than the opposition response to the referendum showed unprecedented cooperation. right? about political leaders put aside the differences to form a block, the aim to defend the constitution, the fate the referendum was illegal controversially,
12:17 pm
the of the simple. if it comes to boy, quote, the vote of a new constitution. i'm a referendum. well, citizens to boy caught the election calling for a boycott of the elections. what's a huge mistake on your part? do you agree with me? by joining uh, the, the process which is the legal. we would have given it a given a legitimacy to a legal process. there's no way we could have done that. people, they need to be reminded that this or the process is you go, in fact, the president of the substitution went to a restaurant for searching the legitimate president of the actual cost. additional court also went to rush out to take instructions. there will be no way for us to prevail. and so don't process what it's trying to achieve is to establish that issue. because each on the face can we push back against what it sees us can reach him. but bodies in the face of support from outside hundreds of rush as part of may
12:18 pm
need to fight us. we simply, i lived in the central african republic apparently to help secure the river random process. the government sees the change of the central african constitution has nothing to do with russia. what did you say the old, the people at the central african republic had been manipulated by the russians? no, i would also you kindly tell them to respect the central african people. noah's shushan is above the people. we have no other intention than to formalize in writing. what is the mom did by the people c k a. so now the central african republic joins or the african countries, including blue, uganda, and one dash, which i've changed the constitutions. in recent years, the president sees the he's following the view of the people with questions to remain all the way up these least democracy in the central african republic, on the role played by russia in another african nations, a phase, as to iran now,
12:19 pm
where the country circles morales, the police have been stuffing up their enforcement as laws. ma'am they think the women way ahead. scott's many arabian women have been shining, but hid job head covering in the wake of last year's mass protests. now, lots unrest with spock by the death of the woman accused of violating the official dress code. now, with the one year anniversary of that uprising, approaching authorities are keen to show that they are still very much in control. they have video circulating and social media, apparently showing a plain clothes agent harassing an unveiled woman entirely. then a day later, he runs police spokes person announced police patrols would be established across the country, phone this task. hassling, these police officers will deal with those who, unfortunately ignore the consequences of not wearing the proper head job and insist
12:20 pm
on this. so being the norm. and in addition to warning them that if they disobey the orders of the police forces, best legal action will be taken off and they will be referred to the judicial system. as a matter of you, at least since 1990 police units enforcing mandatory had job regulations have patrol the streets of iran. then in 2022, an unprecedented women lead uprising begin. after that scene, police force arrested 22 year old gina mazda, many, allegedly for not wearing a headscarf properly. she died in their custody to the uprising did not spark legal changes in the dress code. so many iranian women have since been very visibly following their own rules. and i almost do not buy scarves and overcoats anymore. i have not were in the hedge all for a long time. i have gone being van,
12:21 pm
there has made them feel special. it seems death to control over payments, hit job has slipped from their hands and they are doing whatever it takes to gain. that's power back. iranian opportunities are now not only immune to retain that controlled with st agents. according to a fresh report by rights group amnesty international. they're also increasingly resorting to surveillance technology in their crack down. i received a warning text message once after removing my head score while driving the 2nd message of stated that my car would be impounded systematically. then the 2nd message arrived, my friend, the 9th there in the car, both without a job on a one day trip. it was a terrifying felt as they put in pound or a car and it needs that swimming with uncovered hair being intimidated. but the video also claims that our story to use gather biographical information on
12:22 pm
offenders by using face recognition technology. officials have also said they've shut down tourist attractions, hotels, restaurants, and shopping centers for not enforcing the job on their email. p trim. some young people may continue to resist bearing the head job, but the older people who rely on their salary's gonna be coerced into varying head scarves, again with the one year anniversary of jena masa. i mean the staff approaching in september observer st. you running and women will likely be finding more ways to make their voices heard and to make sure they are saying that report was by d. w. special correspond an a for him. an ad joins them, you know, in the studio full. and a, we heard that some of the conversations that you had with a radian women. how worried all day about the morales,
12:23 pm
the police tightening its grip again. i think very worried, you know, after we had seen these protests, these unprecedented protests in september that you know, largely took aim at the morality police. a lot of women had told me that there was a new sense of solidarity and safety on the streets of the around because of, uh, you know, popular support was for women that were uh, you know, just, you know, making a simple choice of how to dress so one woman told me that, you know, nowadays if a morality police officer is approaching the woman and telling her to cover her hair, people would sometimes gather and try to actually defend this woman. and so it's become on the streets increasingly harder for these agents. you know, to enforce the mandatory she job and there's a real sense of worried that you know, after having to an extent, you know, pulled back from the streets. the morality please is now keen, the so called morality put is now keen to regain that control. perhaps because they
12:24 pm
feel that, you know, the world attention has, has decreased from iran. you know, this was a huge new story in september. well into december of last year. but now with the protest sort of calming down the women that i've spoken to really worry the authorities are seeing, as i've seen this as an opportunity to come back, perhaps even more viciously with new technology, even as, as we see in the state report. yeah, i wanted to ask you about this new face identification technology that'll sororities in iran on now using how, how effective as something like that. well, officials themselves say that between, i mean, since april of this year 2023 till now. so in period of about 4 months over a 1000000 women have received text messages after they were, you know, see not waiting to head scarf properly in their cars with a threat saying that their car could be confiscated. and so this tells you that
12:25 pm
there's a, you know, at least from, you know, according to the officials, there's a real attempt to, you know, scale this so that they maybe don't have to spend so many of their agents into the streets to receive the kind of reactions that they've been receiving. and obviously, you know, from the states behavior, we can see that they're really keen that people are scared that, that they feel that they're always being watched. and they did release that video and state media showing you know, how this happens and the women that i've spoken to, they say, you know, they're the, the officials are really, um, you know, don't want to get that backlash on the streets, but also from the international community and so they're resorting to what one woman called to me like more subtle forms of violence and surveillance and feeling like you have no privacy. psychological pressure absolutely feels like it's a very real threat to them now. so given that it is like that, now, i mean we, we, we know that the 1st anniversary of the, the death of do you know, most of a many is approaching. how likely do you think protests all to breakouts to mazda
12:26 pm
anniversary? i mean, it's very difficult just to really tell what's going to happen on the streets, you know, during the anniversary this was a very special set of factors that came together at that time. you know that the death of this woman that many women told me, you know, it could have been done. it could have been any, any one of them, some figure that many people could really. and many women especially could relate to that protest movement that evolving into something about is up into something that is so much more than demanded towards the job and been turned into these anti government a protest. um. but then after that there was a very brutal crack down the road if police is one of them. but we've also seen executions of protesters. so it's very difficult to tell if there's going to be that kind of momentum again. however, the grievances that the people went out to the streets for whether that's freedom for women or economic freedom or political freedom, these are still very real problems and it remains to be seen how people choose to
