the outcome likes go on after all the terror. not everyone can endure the fear, weeks out every day. when rush starts august 25th on dw the dw news while i've been from berlin. tonight, europe babbling extreme weather in spain and portugal finding weld flyers of southern europe biggs. and yet another peep wave and european union chief visiting today's will be any of the scene for herself the aftermath of unprecedented flooding. also coming up tonight, news years to accusing france of d,

stabilizing the country by breaching its aerospace and freeing quote, terrorist elements. france has rejected the obligations in germany, arresting a military official, suspected of trying to spy for russia, the fiber and gone to our viewers watching on cbs in the united states. and to all of you around the world. welcome extreme heat. it is tightening its grip on south western europe. hundreds of firefighters are now battling wild flyers in spain and portugal, which are in the midst of their 3rd heat wave. this summer, temperatures in both countries soaring above 40 degrees celsius. that's about a $104.00 degrees fahrenheit. after 5 days this fire and southern portugal is finally under control. it's already torn through 10000 heck,

tears 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 fluid. 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 forth, it shows me good close deals with us across the border and 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 what they're doing, 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 offending area. 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 is 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, original clean disease with the climate and energy program at the union of concerned scientists, she told me about the extraordinary weather conditions that southern europe is experiencing. to look is clear, then what we're seeing now is unprecedented of these waves and ways of high temperatures, extended heat waves. a huge wildfire is what's your goal in spain now experiencing

it today? but we've seen these wildfires in greece in italy and france and company, but flooding and parts of europe as well as to be a in norway, etc. so this is a summer that all over the world shattering records heat foot boards and the people are suffering. this is human cause climate change, it's at our doorstep and it's now happening in an unprecedented way. originally we ask you, to what extent can these extreme weather events, how could they be linked directly to climate change? so what's happening is as heat dropping emissions from burning fossil fuels primarily are rising and accumulating in the spear. this is cleaning a long term trend of rising global average temperatures. so as you said, a we're coming off to do hottest month on record of 20. $23.00 is lining off to be on track to be one of the hottest years on record. it's the trend that's alarming,

but the way it's manifesting this year has called signs, is really completely alarmed and shocked. this is happening in a way that's unprecedented in europe, in the united states, in china, in india, in south america, everywhere in the world. and not just on land we're seeing so really as phenomena go see substance temperatures as well. are you saying that maybe by the year 2030 we're going to look back at the year 2023 and say actually was a pretty normal year. unfortunately this year it's being exacerbated by the video that's said and but yes, unfortunately, this might end up being in retrospect the coolest summer on record going forward. it's still part of summer likely is the heart of summer today, but at the rate we're going with emissions going up continually instead of sharply

phasing down fossil fuels and switching to cleaner forms of energy. if we continue to pump carbon dioxide emissions and the atmosphere, then we're going to look back on this moments with a great deal of regret. we're logging in future generations into a world that's truly dangerous. it's already dangerous, and that's going to get for us. if we don't shop to cut our emissions originally, it is always rich. we appreciate your time and your analysis. thank you. thank you very much. it is top priority now for the european union. that was the message today. when europe and commission president or slip on the lie and visited slovenia, a country that is reeling from its worst flooding ever. our reporter, where is the birch art has more of the the force of nature is on to display here and prebble your homes swell adults by the river crossings crushed by salt water, develop a federal 5 or 60. it's catastrophic. some special pipes has been torn from the

bridges. that's where destroyed here. on a 20000 people have no access by running water. but what's the force of civilian solidarity is on show to volunteers are turning up here daily to help with repairs. start to start. carter, this is what we do hope we can get the best that we can um forward and people can slowly return to their normal life cycle stuff are also working overtime, collecting understanding of donations to the worst take times they need tools. we put in some boots for work and a box of gloves, working laws and for cleaning and lots of other supplies by people who are not to the defective regions. right? yes. this is from the generosity of people arrows and they keep showing up

with the population of 2000000 were told almost everyone in for the know someone in need. we like to help each other, especially. i have a lot of friends, so i'm also very emotional about that. and unfortunately the european union has a 9 long term. so with our 2 funding for the flood ravaged nation and a material support from member states in the meantime, you have stands by your side. we were with you in the 1st days, immediately with the material that was needed. it is the mobile bridges, the excavators, the helicopters, and the technical team, and the crews. and of course, we will stay as long as it is necessary, but the whole titans remain cut off. and as the scale of the damage grows clear, the cost of reconstruction can only claim higher for no slovenia is still in emergency mode. and our correspondent rosie burge,

she is still in so many if she has more now on how the you is helping the country. well, 1st of all of underline came 1st with a message of thanks to those volunteers. some of them who we saw on that report who she said have brought hope where there was only mountain brent. there was so much money. i was in people's houses where there was dirt up to the ceiling in the gulf to floor. and i saw neighbors literally draining each other's houses of buckets of much, but she also came, she said, burying hope. we thought a 100000000 euros. all sold already funding this year and a potential 300 a 1000000 further. it next year. she also spoke about trying to use existing pillars within the european union frontier. it's trying to get a bit more flexibility for slovenia, that will entail some of your aquatic burden. it will mean so the, it has to apply. and of course the government has plenty to get on with here, but she said she was really saying it's coming to us with video tailing. so these are the you is by it sites in reading it and you're talking about the mud. we just

want to live our viewers know, last friday in slovenia, within 24 hours i was reading, they had at least a month, if not more worth of rain fall on the country and the rivers. they just, they could not handle it. i know you had been around the country today. talk to me about the situation on the ground. what did you see beyond the but well beyond the mode, there is desperation, but there's also sole authority on the side of people who are really terribly impacted. i mean, there are times which are really they basically entirely cut off in order to reach some of the places that we visited. we had to have a military escort to go along very precarious roads on the side of the were don't a power lines collapsed bridges. and then when we go there of people's houses basically destroyed. and we spoke to one carpenter, all of his tools and the furniture that he may be destroyed. and he said, he just simply doesn't know when he will work to get the armies being drafted in

air dropping supplies and particularly fresh water. and that is a real issue at the moment because as we saw in that report, there are thousands without access to running water. so that's a volunteers are helping with donations oregon rece, levine, citizens showing up with both old walter trying to get that into those. those that are most, it needs know while there is plenty of, there's really no shortage of people showing up to help putting on their boots guessing of getting art space and ready to dig and help neighbors or help people. they really don't know. the situation still have to say from what i've seen roommates, pretty value on the grant. yeah, the image is very, very disturbing. uber charge me pointing to my phone with me on the, on the worst flooding in the history of. so the 1st of the things let's take a look down some of the other climate related stories that are making headlines. hundreds of people have been evacuated in southern doorway as heavy rains triggered the collapse of a power plants damn a spokesperson for the plant. saying that automatic catches in the day and failed

to open and believe water pressure. so why that happened remains a no wild fires are tearing through the hawaiian island of mount. we fan by hurricane force winds. officials say hospitals on the island of struggling to cope . but have given their details on the number of people injured phone services or down across the island. the national guard has been called in to assess leaders of 8 south american countries have agreed to for me to la ends, to fight to the destruction of the amazon rain forest study. to day. some of the brazil leaders released a joint declaration on tackling deforestation, but critics have slammed the final agreement for failing to sit by the targets for protecting the amazon. what time france is rejecting accusations from new shares military rulers, that it breached their countries aerospace, and that had tried the free terrorist in the country. the french government says that the flight in question was approved buying this year's armed forces. there are about 1500 french troops in the west african country. helping to fight is the most

noble tents, but that cooperation is now in question after france opposed the military coup that took place last week in which the countries president mohammed by zoom, was detained. of the qu leaders, they ignored a 7 day deadline to reinstate the president. that was set by the 15 member, west african group equal was eco, was have scheduled an emergency summit for thursday to discuss what can be done next. the current political unrest and 2 in need yet is putting e k was to the test. the economic community of west african states block was formed in 1975 and comprises 15 african countries, including nisha and my g area. it was set up to foster trades, but it has also addressed political and military unrest in the past. with some success. it's un peacekeeping missions, and e k wa,

spikes forces into the gambia ivory coast and guinea personnel to nigeria as president bo let to new booth who is also currently the eco was chapman appeared to be pushing the ministry intervention. but i'm going to say that some like to be nigeria would have to provide the bulk of the ministry resources and is itself struggling to do with an insurgency. would also ek was members of split on the use of force. molly and black, you know, fast, they both supported these as qu, leaders, and have said they will come to it as defense if necessary. meanwhile, other countries of packing diplomacy and suggesting eco was extend his deadline for the reinstatement of news that president mohammed by zoom. but mediation attempts of sofa being written, both by the june to so the block may now look to expand the economic and travel sanctions. the date has already imposed a wrong president, failing to crack down on women who refused to wear the islamic head scarf. present,

right, you see most criticized women for defying the law and blamed for an influence for the violations. many women in iran had been avoiding wearing the, his job since last year with the death of gena masa. i mean, in police custody sparks get on widespread protests. well now with the one year anniversary of that uprising, approaching authorities in iran are keen to show that they are still very much in control. the countries so called morality police have also stepped up their efforts to enforce laws requiring women to we're head skarts, in public se video circulating and social media apparently showing a plain clothes agent harassing an unveiled woman in 2 years. then a day later, he runs police spokesperson announced police patrols would be established across the country. a phone that says cast on these police officers will deal with those who unfortunate ignore the consequences of not wearing the proper head job and

insist on this. so being the norm, and in addition to warning them that if they disobey the orders of the police forces, best of the legal action will be taken off and they will be referred to the judicial system as a wider if 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. it began after that scene police force arrested 22 year old gina martha, many allegedly for not wearing a headscarf properly. she died in their custody. 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 over coats anymore. i have not were in the head job for a long time. i have gone down to 2 places that are considered ordinary,

but not being val. there has made them feel special. it seems that the control over payments hit job has slipped from their hands and they are doing whatever it takes to gain the power back. you running off thirties are now not only immune to retain that control with st agents according to a fresh report by right scoop amnesty international. they're also increasingly resorting to surveillance technology in their crack down. and i received the warning text message once after removing my head score while driving the 2nd message stated that my car would be impounded systematically. when the 2nd message arrived, my friend, the 9th, they're in the car, both without a job on a one day trip. it was a terrifying felt as they could impound or car it needs that in june,

iranian state media released this video. it shows women with uncovered hair being intimidated. but the video also claims that our stories gather biographical information on offenders by using face recognition technology. officials who've also said they've shut down tourist attractions, hotels, restaurants, and shopping centers for not enforcing the job on their email patriot. some young people may continue to resist their and the job, but the older people who rely on their salaries will be coerced into varying head scarves. again with the one year anniversary of gina martha. 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 safe. the german and radiant journalists guild us the have you told me more about the current situation

for women in the wrong. we just received a pretty good uh, basically uh the government of the team is really going down and do anything and ever seemed to get women where they had scar gaps, follow the rules and, and they have to sign up for a long time. for months they've been doing thing after seeing and planning rules and forcing all those as long as they could and still live in have been resisting and based on the side of what the what do you want. and so what we're seeing now is the very overall at mass and basically just getting into where the head scarf and it's, it's not still not really the way they want the women to be and they are changing their approach to enforcing these laws. i understand video surveillance, for example, visual identification technology is being used now. what do we know about that and

how are people reacting to that? or that is the quotes now. um that seems like even a german uh company is involved in this. bosh bosh, they are using their head seems like they even using german cameras there as human rights violations basically. so i talked to friends yesterday and she said, we just heard also that there were especially effective in cars because you can discount the license plates and then they, the women can text messages that they're gonna have to give the cars. and we know from the course of anastasia national, that ever since 82000 cars have been found. it's a woman to the past, at least to give up the cars and the she to receive the text message. and she says, just ignoring it and just whole substitute people that kind of give it to them. and it seems like a she told me that when women are starting to wear the head scarves in the car

because it's just without a car. it's just very, very difficult to get buying, buying cities, and so they need their cars and put it in the street just as many women as before, and that's where the head scarf and most of the scene was going to happen in the next couple of months. is this tactical seer and pressure of to redeem work or women more women kind of stuff? not when you know, are they? are they going to do what the religion wants them to do? well, you know, where do you see this headed? um, you know, we've got the 1st anniversary of the death of gina mazda. i mean, that's approaching and you know that, that anniversary is next month. i mean, we've had a people in the country now for almost a year and it seems looking from the outside that the women in iran have a choice. they can either stay home, stay out of the public sphere. or if they go into this public spirit, they have to wear whose job or face a police force that can act with impunity. it is that how you see it?

yes, as it seems like if that's what my friends have been telling me wrong, that's the controls and pressure that we had we have now. she says it's just the same. it was before the storm in here. for me, that's a clear sign that the g a has an inverse for you. the on the 16th of september, they really want to make sure that they're back to the old ways. and from what i've seen the piece and women especially, which is fine, but they go on, they have, you know, they have jobs, mostly they go to school and they have to do it. and so they, it is really say what's gonna happen. but the government wants to stop this by the diversity because they are the way that they're going to be protest again. i think it is likely that the purchase of a yeah, but we will certainly continue our reporting on it. we appreciate you joining us

tonight to ensure your reporting. guilt it so heavy. thank you. all right, let's take a look now in some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world . it's how you authorities say $41.00 language died after they're both over turned to the mediterranean. that's according to for survivors. the boat capsized on friday. after sitting off from us in egypt, the survivors drifted for days before being rescued by a merchant ship. they have now been transferred to the italian island of land producer and explosion has ripped through a factory warehouse outside of moscow injury. more than 40 people. the warehouse sits on the grounds of a factory that produces night, vision, goggles and other optical equipment. i should officials say the warehouse was being used to store fireworks when it exploded a 6 to rodriguez the us senior and subject of the oscar winning documentary, searching for sugar mann and has died at the age of 81 and regus lived most of his life in obscurity, unaware that he had become a star within the south africa's anti apartheid movement. his music career was re

ignited after loyal fans tracked him down to tell him of his success. a man who works for germany's military has been arrested on suspicion of spying for russia. the suspect too, is a german citizen. he is accused of approaching the russian embassy here in berlin, as well as the russian console that in the town of bon and offering his cooperation, prosecutor say that he aim to pass on secret information to russian intelligence. or political correspondence. i mean young, he told me more about this case or yeah, well the federal prosecute has given us a detail saying that to this band identified only as thomas h. a was arrested on wednesday in the western city of copeland and remoted in cost of the day. and he was an employee of something called the

federal office of who was very equipment, information, technology and in service support. essentially this is part of the gym and the defense ministry. it's the pro, display, as a procurement agency, and to us to waive the sourcing and evaluating military equipment. so it's quite possible that the employee that could have a lot have a technical information. now, the federal prosecutor says that this man, starting in may, 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 had obtained in his work at expecting and intending that it would be then paused to russian intelligence. and the only thing to notice, i think, is that he was arrested on

a war that was issued at 2 weeks ago. so that suggests that this investigation has been ongoing for a quite a little while. that was our political correspondent assignment young. alright, we've got some good news now for those of you who may be couch potatoes, you may not have to feel so guilty for skipping the jet. you k tech company is come up with wearable technology that they say will trick your brain and your muscles into thinking that you're really lifting weights. the only catch is you have to be inside the met a verse 1st. the best price, can you work out in virtual reality and still feel like you've been to the gym. a u . k based tech firm val. 3 industries believe you can with their wearable technology. your company founded in 2017, says they can make your brain think you're actually lifting weights, resulting in give you new work out. so we, here's electronic muscular simulation,

e m s, for sure, which fundamentally interacts with your muscles to create that same electrical impulse that your brain proceeds. when you're holding a cup a month, a water bottle for dumbbells and delivering that artificially through our wearables . so the feeling you get out of these is resistance, load petite, on weight up to a certain level, but it's design more for strengthening, targeting and conditioning. actively combining, electro muscular stimulation in a virtual simulation is a fairly new concept. the company says they are not looking to replace the gym, but at least add value to stay with us after short break, i'll be back to take you through the day. we will be right back the

how do we feed without destroying the pesticides? first noises, i mean, you will deplete soil of its nutrients. fox itself has to be that way.

we explore most to sustainable meth. global us in 60 minutes on dw, the really used to reverse huge researchers and scientists all over the world for you know, race against time. they are peers and rivals with one daring goals to help smart nature. the more likes watching it on youtube, dw documentary manuals, and do you belong to the 77 percent to come to i don't 165 last last those top 5 years,
