the, the, this is, these are the news sign from button while it's biased raise a cost wise, while we island the may, it tells for us stop traveling as far as sizes. price control lane, by wind from a pacific hurricane. and the video deals with a different kind of extreme weather use, such as

a 100000000 euros in age of the devastating floods. tough gemini arrests, a military official suspect, of trying to find for russia the expense of joining us. the hawaiian island of maui has been devastated by wild fires found by wins for my pacific hurricane. at least 6 people have died and more than 2000 residence falls to evacuate their horns. some people have escaped by boats, as the fight is destroyed, buildings in the tourist town, roads, power lines and phone services and also being caught. authorities are a jew, holidaymakers to stop traveling. thousands of people are left stranded at always airport. several major fires are still burning on molly and the nearby big island with warnings the death home could rise. i will some one this i'm joined by

matthew cup of tea. he is a meteorologist and an atmospheric scientists. thank you very much and the for be with us, your and dw news. so what are the factors that have contributed to the situation? well, i think one thing that's very much key is that they've had a drought lately. the air there was dry, the land is little bit dryer than average. and obviously you have dryer temperatures, which means dry conditions and more fuel available to burn. but at the same time, a fire this big, which does far as burn about $240.00 to hector's, can only grow to that size if the winds are strong, then it is a case right now. how retain door a pass about 800 kilometers south south west upon a lulu. but at the same time, it's winfield was big enough that they're still seeing wins flowing in the storm of about 60 to 70 kilometers per hour. those eastern or these winds will continue much of the day. and again, augusta were 70 kilometers per hour, helping those flames to spread right now. 6 people haven't confirmed dead about

12000 people on the northwest people. now we in the town of behind our biggest risk 2100 people are in shelters at this hour as well. now looking at the pictures that we just showed, lots of the areas affected, looked like a forest. and in those night shots to see if we can pull them up again. but actually from what i was reading much of them, a holmes. how's the surprise to how quickly this is escalated? i think one thing that is very unfortunate about a situation like this is that it's much like the fires we saw in colorado several years ago. obviously fires do happen to natural territory, but when you have homes that are close together in that much easier for the plains, hot from one building to another to another thing is that essentially to the fire, that's just a big stack of wood. that's just the stack of fuel. so yes, that is kind of the, the most difficult part with this. right now we have about 7.7 percent of the entire state of hawaii. under at least a moderate drought or worse. there is worse than one year ago. and the,

i believe him now he is, seems to me the worst road at this point. so yes, it is significant, but really it's one of those situations where even those abnormally dry, the wind is the biggest factor and how tightly packed homes are, is another big factor that just focus through the changes and the weather patterns that we're seeing taking place elsewhere. around the world. well, one thing that we've noticed in the past and particularly the past decade or so has been enough taking the amount of extreme fire behavior we're seeing not saying that's necessarily case this time around. but as your continues to warm, you have hotter temperatures, which sap the ground of moisture even more made it easier for the landscape to burn simultaneously when you have big sprawling keep dooms or regions of high pressure in control. which is what brings very warm temperatures to begin with. you also sort of expand the atmosphere vertically. what that does is allow the fires to grow taller, allow the smoke to pour higher into the atmosphere and allow we realistically for

that extreme fire behavior to become more common. we've seen that time and time again over california, over russia, over alaska, the mass, several years. this sort of a different type of fire, this more a structure fire compared to big boiler, a forest fire. but regardless, you know, whenever wind is a factor, you tend to get higher end results. i think i put you. thank you very much indeed for your time. thank you. are now extreme, whether all of another kind has devastated knowledge part of the venue. so the has affected 2 thirds of the country's population, european commission president or live on the line travel to the venue, to offer a huge support, including aid worth more than a 100000000 euros. dw rosie birch odd has more the force of nature is on full display here in pebble. you homes, small adults by the river crossings crushed by salt water. develop a federal 5

o. c. it's kept with the tropic piece. it was some special pipes had been torn from the bridge and 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 this stuff got or this is what you hope you can get better if we can on foot board and people can slowly return to their normal lives, which are really is on our driveway. red cross stuff are also working overtime collecting. i'm sending of donations to the worst, take tons and then the tools we put in some boots for work and a box of gloves, working laws and for cleaning, and lots of other supplies. and this is by people who are not 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 nice 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 video is still an emergency mode. so 8 south american countries have agreed to form an alliance to find the destruction of the amazon rain forest at the tuesday, summits in brazil, indeed has released the joints declaration on tackling deforestation, but they failed to set binding targets to combat the issue. critic said won't be enough to protect the amazon. oh, that's an american correspondence. nicole reese, is that the summit and this issue of them and has more 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. most 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. for 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 that will hopefully also be some struggles 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. when the 2nd look at some of the stories making headlines around the world. focused on, as president, has approved the requests from timeless a should. i should read. this is all parliament can take. a government will take over the heads of the head, all of a general election which must be held within 90 days. the move comes just off the sharif main arrival in run con was arrested on corruption charges. scotsman yvonne's president abraham racy has failed to put a stop to live in. taking off that head job. many rang and women have to find the little men facing has accomplished it comes off to widespread protest against foster by the death of a woman in police custody. you runs morales. the police are now stuffing up. enforcement of the little russia says it's shot down to drugs and at moscow, officials say one drawn came down in the the more they don't vote, districts south of the capital. the other was near the men's highway. it follows

separate to turn attacks and recent weeks of hit most of russia has. thank you, craig, for his hat and explosion has ripped through a factory warehouse outside moscow injury over 40 people. the warehouse sits on the grounds of a factory that produces night vision goggles and other obstacles equipment. russian officials say the warehouse was the used to store fireworks when it's excessive amount. what will be done in military has been arrested on suspicion of spying for russia. the suspects, a german citizen, is accused of approaching the russian embassy in berlin. and the russian confident involved in pausing, secret information relating to his job to the russian intelligence. while it dw political correspondent, simon young has more about the case. it's yeah, well the federal prosecutor has given us a detail saying that to this band 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 the federal office of buddhist vera equipment, information technology and in service support. essentially, this is part of a gym and defense ministry. its the go 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 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 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 is been ongoing for a quite a little while. simon young reporting for us earlier. now, france has rejected the accusations from new jazz military rulers, that a breach, they countries a space and free to terrorist. the french government says the flight in question was approved by new jazz. all the forces that are around 1500 french troops in the shaft, helping you find on the group. but that corporation is now in question off the front. suppose the military coup last week in which these as president oklahoma the zoo was detained. who need is ignore the 7 day deadline to reinstate the zoom set by the west. african group echo was a blue. the block will hold

a special summit on wednesday on thursday to discuss that action that they should take. next. i am afraid we don't have that report, but let's move on to some of the stories and i'll just little positive news for the couch, potatoes around the world. so, and you may be no longer have to deal with feeling guilty about heading to the gym because a u. k based tech firm has come up with a new technology. they say, well, trick your brain and muscles into thinking you're actually lifting weights. and then most of us take a look, the best price can you work out in virtual reality for 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 of the way. here's electronic muscular stimulation, 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, i'm not a water bottles or dumbbells, 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 must dealer stimulation in a virtual simulation is a fairly new concept. the company says they are not looking to replace the gym but at least at the .
