here is one to accusing friends of the stabilizing the country by breaching its air space. and by quote, bring terrorist elements and in germany arresting a military official, suspected of trying to spine for russia. the i bridge the gap is good to have you with this on this wednesday, extreme heat is tightening its grip on south western europe. hundreds of firefighters are battling wild fires in spain and portugal. countries that are in the midst of their 3rd major heat wave, the summer temperatures and both countries of sort over 40 degrees celsius, that's 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 said to help us. but lucky godfrey friends who came forth to susan, eager to close the doors of the 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 recall codes. 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. rachel cletus is with the climate of energy program at the union of concerned scientists. she told me about these unusual. he's extreme weather conditions that we're seeing now in southern year to look, it's clear that 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 and italy and france and company, but flooding and parts of europe as well and still be a in norway, etc. so this is a summer that all over the world shattering records, he footboards um 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 and the spear, this is cleaning a long term trend of rising global average temperatures. so as you said over coming off to do hottest month on record of 2023 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 goes, the 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 it was a pretty normal year. unfortunately, the service being exacerbated by the union of upset 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 hardest summer to date, but at the rate we're going with emissions going up continually instead of sharply phasing down fossil fuels and switching to clean or 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 it's going to get worse if we don't shop the cut our emissions originally, it is always rich. we appreciate your time and your analysis. thank you. thank you very much. leaders of 8 south american countries have agreed to form an alliance to fight the destruction of the amazon rain forest at a 2 day summit. in brazil, the leader is released a joint declaration on tackling deforestation. but they failed to set binding targets to combat the issue. and critics of slam that saying it won't be enough to protect the amazon. our latin american corresponded to co wrist and she followed the summit force and she told us more about this 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 the 1st ation, for example, that there are pledges like they will tackle criminal activities in the rain forest more. there will hopefully also be some strong the laws and that just 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 a very firm decision. instead of being made, that was the coal risk they're reporting. let's take a look down. some of the other stories making headlines around the world. wildfires have killed at least 6 people on the hawaiian island of maui. that's according to the county mayor. the air officials say that hospitals in the island are struggling to cope after hurricane force winds, with the flames out of control phone services or down across the islands. the national guard has been called in to assess. russia says that they shot down to drones aimed at la scale official say that one drone came down in the dumber date of the district, which is just south of the capital. the other was near the men's highway. it

intending that it would be then pause to rush in 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. was dw use. so, i mean, you have reported france has rejected accusations from these years military rulers, that it breach to their countries, air space, and free to terrace. the french government says that the flight in question was approved by the shares armed forces. there are around 1500 french troops in the west african country, and they're helping to find is let us know what seems but that cooperation is now in question. after france oppose the military coup that took place in the country last week in which this year as president was removed from office. you know, the crew leaders ignored a 7 day deadline to reinstate the president. that was set by the 15 member west advocating group equal was equal was,
