as was said earlier in the introductory yeah, keep the resources for that kind of me showing just not bad. so now is essentially they're trying to give the area on and off rent to people with echo westport. in reality, the also there was the regional buzzing depaula getting sleep by, by to the, you know, there's now the new government that does announce that, you know, the window for trying to get, but so need to, by closing, by did the so what's the period good for that cause yeah, let's talk about that more. how much is echo watches, credibility, writing on how it handles this crisis and what the outcome might be of what i hear, this is not about the cause, it's crazy busy, and i am somewhat to be the same time that on, at least on the premise that it causes credibility is necessarily going to be significant in dented by the lack of military actions. in this instance,

i would argue that 1st of all, i cause as quickly village was already, but you've been to be didn't in the region in price then by the gain a book. you know, if i slowing down the, we know, into lucky to us have simply disregarded many of the positions that it was taken because many in the regions simply don't think they'll be, does incredible organizational merely because some of the lead us home of the heads of states of eckl was a member, speeds have done. so let's see questionnaire, kristen and the questionable democratic of things in dell and see whether it's the extended to attenuate pie as you know, human rights abuses. so i'm not sure that this one instance is the one thing that blown tech was described. the ability to get had very easy to, to begin. that was west african analysts. christopher on you know, daddy and alice turned to some other stories, making headlines around the world. indian prime minister in german bodies government has defeated they know confidence vote in parliament,

burning and also the nearby big island paradise lost as flames engulfed, the resort town of le hi no. the only escape was by sea, some wasted until the last moment to flee. the, so far as our thoughts are nearest time to go. the firestone fire ripped through the tourist hotspots with little warning. many of these buildings no longer stand witness to say, much of love, hina has been turned to ash and

we just have the worst disaster i've ever seen online through chris bog lips. evacuation efforts were disrupted by power and telephone service outages . roads were cut by flames. fire experts say molly island was waiting to ignite drought had left a dense bushland dangerously dry winds from the passing hurricane. dora created the perfect firestone when we are preparing for the hurricane. we, we expect green ablaze we expect floods. we never anticipated in this state that as a hurricane which did not make impact on our islands will cause this type of wall flyers while fliers that wiped out communities. while fliers that wiped the

i insisted pike far as far as in the future. um with you and juice climate change. we're going to say more, it street type, which is we're going to say more drives the perfect conditions. so as far as size light, this votes, let's get more into the climate change aspect of it. of course the forest fires. wildfires are nothing unusual. they do happen whether this climate change or not, but you're emphasized for us just how does climate change impact forest fires like what we've seen now in mount we as well, what we're saying is that sense, which is around the world, the increasing juicy schuman activity. but also is not just the average temperature . we see more of these very st. temperatures. we also see changes in precipitation passes, where it says floods in some air is a drive. so now this is what we say is

a combination of drugs mainly in various, far as a dry bye. have a lot of q i would use is start to get high temperatures at the high winds. the perfect conditions, we're seeing the big china to receive them in greece without saying in hawaii. these are the sorts of things we're going to say as far as all around the world. i'm glad you just mentioned some of those other places where we're seeing yet another summer of intense wildfires. it does feel like we could just replace the geographic location and ask the same questions. so on that note, given that this seems to be a new normal, is there anything that can be done as an end to mitigate this risk? what seems to be increasingly severe fire seasons? as i said, old forest service is around the world of got to realize the potential for these forest size is increasing because a few in inches climate change. therefore,

if i have to have strategies to minimize these far as size, they're going to have to do far as food in that is do we send the i'm the grows, they can do that with just 125 as you need the food together. certainly in the united states, the far as uh, this is looking at how you could maybe advise the risk that is a combination of managing the forest by sitting and especially the, i'm the grows i've been doing some control files. so when you do effectively get, as far as thought it's old, managed to evaluate the future, you need to reduce what we call the tools out. the amount of dry vegetation. and matthew low does seem to be quite intense. what we're seeing in my way, robert was we have to leave it there. thank you very much for joining us. former chair of the ip c. c. thank you very much. of course, government has declared a state of emergency after a presidential candidate was assassinated on the campaign trail. the killed
