to analyze the fight for market dominance. east, this is west of a head with v w business beyond the business dw news live from pilot. lots of europe that play extreme with up spain and portugal 5 qualifies as southern europe bakes in a heat wave. meanwhile, the chief elizabeth from the line visit slovenia to see for himself the optima officer via flooding that also coming off a summit aimed at protecting the amazon rain forest is wrapping up in brazil. they

disagree to form an alliance to fight deforestation with the critic site. they need to do a lot the i'm gonna help out as well come to the program. extreme hate to is tightening its grip on southwestern europe. hundreds of firefighters baffling walls size and spain and portugal, which are in the midst of their said he'd wave these here. temperatures in both countries have sold over 40 degrees celsius. that's $140.00 grease fire nod. after 5 days this fire in southern portugal is finally under control. it's already torn through 10000 heck. there is of land. the blaze grew so large, it was visible from space as it spread towards the popular algarve tourist region.

20 villages and more than 1400 people threatened by the flames were forced to evacuate for the road. it was horrible that was fine. every when we had to fend for ourselves, nobody was that to help us. but lucky godfrey from those who came for you to let me go to close deals with us across the border in spain. firefighters are also dealing with a wildfire in the western region of extreme adora locals. here are 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 some teen re caulk oaks. 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 degrees celsius heat and cordova and similar highs across waves of the country. authorities are urging people to stay in doors to protect their health. scientists state climate change is helping push temperatures to new

extremes with july and confirmed us the planets hottest month on record. already grappling with record temperatures, increasing wildfires and historic water shortages. unfortunately, for portugal in spain, the future doesn't look much brighter. the whole iberian peninsula is sent to be one of the european regions hit hardest by climate change. hi, lorenzo laboratory as a scientific officer at the wells, mutual logical organization and he told me about the extraordinary weather conditions, southern europe is experiencing this year. what's unusual these here is the fact that these sideways and well fires for cur. he's the context of the heart is july ever recorded, as he was said before in your, in your peace, july 2023 will go down in the records have to as to how does july ever and the temperatures in july we're point 72 degrees celsius for the 1991, tonight,

22020 period and 1.5 degrees warmer than the pre industrial era. now to what extent can these extreme weather events blink directly to climate change? it is hard to link any one event to climate change when we can say with certainty keys that climate change enhances the possibilities of these events occurring in the severity of them as well. however, a recent study has concluded that for example, the heat weight, the chinese currency experience, each one and a 250 year event, and that the heat that was to experience in the northern mexico on the south of us . we're not how it happened. the climate change was not the reality. so what can be done then to mitigate the facts of more frequent heat waves floods and was size as

well? the 1st thing is to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon emissions. scientific community has agreed, we have about a 7 year window of opportunity to use read house cash solutions to about half of what they are now. and what the governments and people can do east to have better warning systems that will be in a better position to predict. he weighs and drops and fires so that people are as prepared as possible to confirm these events. right, so elaborate though they're from the welding teacher logical organization. thank you very much. thanks for having me. go to slovenia an hour, clean up operation is on the way of to flash floods. roberts, the open country, and claim 6 lives. you see what was left on the line is visiting sylvania today to offer support for the rebuilding efforts to see the devastation 1st time. officials say an estimate,

it's 2 thirds of the country's territory has been effected by the floods dw, as well as the budget is on the ground instantly. now i also how 8 organizations and the you are supporting the country is what we seen in those regions that were really hit by floods and we traveled a bit further. so it's now to this donation center, coordinated by the red cross for people of you showing up all day with food. we supplies, things like a shovels, the gear that people can use to clean up their houses. toilet paper, all sorts that people really need a need at this immediate time, those people that are hard to state. and of course, the immediate needs are what the chief are sort of underlying, was initially focused on. she talks about those at teams from other countries that i think here on the ground, the end machinery tools sent from germany from frosts, from croatia and others with the other countries helping, stepping off. and so i think we've spoken to

a bit with volunteers by today. they've said, you know, well this is an example of the european union work because in the past it's for video and let me know and helping other countries. for example, when it's when he was plugged into the word, there was an earthquake in neighboring croatia. i noticed lavinia is the one elite and it's asking for help. i need help has been given. the eu has also a nice that there will be a 100000000 euros of funding available for solar directly funding mechanisms this year and a possible 300000000 next year. those. some of the volunteers here we spoke to said you funding can often come with a lot of burden, some bureaucracy attached. so they were a bit concerned about that. but overall, a big feeling of growth to choose and are some of underlined coming with a message say that you stand by your sites corresponded to rosie birch at that. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making headlines today. italian authorities say $41.00 migraines, died off to the boat overtime in the mediterranean sea, that's according to 4 survivors. the boat capsized on friday. after setting off

from tunisia, the survivors drifted for days before being rescued by much in ship. they have now been transferred to the italian island of lumper to some as nigeria is pushing forward diplomatic solution to the, to a neighboring these at a spokesman for the nigerian president bowler to noble said he wanted to avoid military intervention. nigeria will chair thursday's meeting of the a cool west regional group in response to the tools coordinate as a refusal to relinquish pop. huffman, your rounds president over him, right? he see a has a vile to put a stop to women taken off the he job menu right in a women have defied the little monday to head scuffle and we'll see yet ever since protest spock by the death of a young and rainy enrollment in police custody who was accused of not wearing a job properly. ron's morales, the police, and all stepping off enforcements of the headscarf floor get to the

explosion has ripped through a factory warehouse outside moscow. enjoying over 40 people. the warehouse sits on the grounds of a factory that produces night vision goggles and other optical equipment. russian officials say the warehouse was being used to store fireworks when it exploded. the man who works for german, he is military, has been arrested on suspicion of spying for russia. the suspect is a german citizen, and he's accused of approaching the russian embassy in berlin, and the russian consulate in bones offering his corporation. prosecutor say he aims to pos, secret information to russian intelligence. let's get some more details on this developing story from all correspondence, simon. young, simon, what more do we know? it's yeah, well the federal prosecute has given us

a detail saying that to this man identified only as thomas h. i was arrested on wednesday in the western city of copeland's and reminded in cost of the day. and he was an employee of something called a federal office of who knows where equipment, information, technology and in service support. essentially, this is part of a gym and defense ministry. it's the book this way as a procurement at agency and tossed with the sourcing and evaluating military equipment. so it's quite possible that the employee that could have a lot have a technical information now at the federal prosecutor says that this man, starting in may of this year, approached the, the russian diplomatic representations offering to work with russian services. and that on one occasion,

he passed on information that he obtained in his work at expecting and intending that it would be then paused to russian intelligence. and the other thing to notice, i think, is that he was arrested on a war that was issued at 2 weeks ago. so that suggests this investigation has been ongoing for a quite a little while. now since the war in ukraine started, has there been a notable uptake in russian espionage in germany? the certainly has been a focus on that at least uh, is seeing the uh, intelligence people like the head of the domestic intelligence service, thomas hudson bang has repeatedly warned of that. and there's been reports off the report suggesting that there's a lot more russian espionage activity shortly off to the full scale war. and ukraine broke out. germany kicked out

a around 40 russian diplomats saying that they were essentially working as spies. and that may have done something to fulfill their efforts, but we've seen this type of activity continuing. there's been prosecutions at all 5 people working in the intelligence services and also of a full, not a member of the reserves of the german military accused. and one case convicted of working for russian spies services. so it's quite clear that that has been an effort, particularly since uh, as i say, the full scale war and ukraine to approach jim and military personnel. and to make these kind of contacts. and i suppose it's an under that heading, that this case also will be examine the sign in the, on the following. that story for us. thank you. so i'm a lead us of

a south american countries have agreed to form an alliance to fight the destruction of the amazon rain forest as a 2 day summit in brazil, the lead us to release the joint declaration on tackling deforestation in the endangered rainforest spot may fail to set the binding targets to combat the issue . critics of slammed the final declaration saying it will not be enough to protect the amazon. all that in america, corresponding to call res, followed the summit in the city of them. and she told me about its outcome. so it certainly depends on your point of view on life may be, but i think more could have been done. there is some small consensus, for example, that it needs to be avoided to reach a tipping point in the amazon rain forest that needs to be more sustainable business, more sustainable development. indigenous communities need to be protected better and strength and more because the vital part and the protection of the rain forest as well. but the big announcement of the solid and drastic decisions that everybody

was expecting were fully short. there is no such a place as for the end of different station, for example, that there are pledges like they will tackle criminal activities in the rain forest more. there will hopefully also be some struggles and mattress stations to protect the forest. but there's no time line to that, and that's really an issue because everybody was pressing about how a little time we have left, if none. and the other issue was also the extraction of fossil fuels which was being discussed. but we don't see it reflected in this declaration and as we know, the extraction of fossil fuels is doing great damage to this huge environmental ecosystem. and so you have to ask how much of a double stand that we're looking at here? if for more than the one hand lead us a saying that we're in a really deep prices that we need to act now. and then in the declaration, there is not much of a reflection or a deadline or very firm decisions that are being made. that was

a lot in latin america cause when you call res in the city of bella. and here's what's coming up next on dw, and use asia. so the extra is approaching approx dawn, it's most up to the position isn't present. why am on cons absence could spell the price for the country that's not a lot more in use as a way of mind calling fen physical in often just a short break on gab alpha. so i'll have more world news for you at the top of the time being. thanks for the every jenny, it's one of the surprises we've gone all out to give you some time one day in the footsteps of the right people in years.
