christina, crown for redo is an associate professor and the department of estimates here at sciences at the university of hawaii. and i asked her why these fires aren't different from the ones hawaii is used to see. right, so we are used to why fi during the dry season from may through october. what was particularly the extra looking i bought this event was the strength of the wins. um, there was a high pressure system because most of the items and then little pressure to the south of the islands us hiking. dora was passing by wells off to be about creating the normal trade winds to the center. and then of course, the diploma from guys for the next room. and we ended up having winds up to 88 miles and stop. let's do this rapid spread release of the spot. and of course, we also have

a couple of months of dryer than normal conditions that the again fuel to this fire . so you described these wins as extraordinary. but, you know, given the fact that authorities were aware of these offshore wins, should officials have for seen this kind of fire. so were uh, we went under warranty and, and the tire conditions were possible. because of course, s, as the said the, the winds were well forecasted. i think it was the finals of the night and the, uh, the ex or the strength that you know, fine weather is very complicated. you may expect a, but when it actually happens, i think it's very complicated to fight, to fight the file like this. and we see the many bases. i mortgage and i from

greece. and as you very well know, we've had these type of fires on items as well. that's right. so we've, we've been seeing these catastrophic wildfires as you say all over the world. so web links them, is it safe to say that this is evidence of climate change? for example? i think them every time there's an extra one in van, like the one we we described it's, it's reasonable to ask what the son last week was exacerbated by climate change. and as i mentioned, there were many ingredients that led to these perfect storm uh, to an extent. but of course, we need a comprehensive uses body to really say got comedies meet these more likely. but as far as the premiums go, we do have studies that show, for example, that be strong. there's a dr. trend tombly woodside on the eyes and that these expect it to continue in response to increased greenhouse gas emissions. and the other thing we, we also have studies regarding tropical cycles and beside, as i've shown,

this is possible that we'll have an increase of their most in gun storms in the pacific. so the include inside of a and of course how exactly they will properly do the likelihood of this type over their company. again in the future, we may still be studied, but we do know that the ingredients due to climate change could be getting worse. this that was christina, cram for reducing the university of hawaii. thank you so much for your insights. let's take a look down some of the other stories making headlines around the world. hundreds of qu supporters have riley to the french military base and the share. the demonstration to place a day after leaders from the west african regional block, known as eco last said, they create a stand by force that could be deployed to restoring news. there's elected president to power ukrainian presidents. let them hear zaleski has fired all of his

let's look now at that england columbia match the final last a clash, the european champions, our favorites. but columbia have been the surprised team at this tournament. english coach, serena v. glenn is bidding to go one better than 4 years ago when she was running rough with her native netherlands. england have no new entering worries bumped against columbia. they'll be without england midfielder lauren james, following her red card last time mt and d w. as tom ganna is in sydney covering the women's world cup for us, and we asked him about the upcoming england columbia clash and whether or not england really are the favorites. yeah, i think england the probably the book make us favorites for the rest of the tournament. now probably alongside australia, so fall at the tone that we haven't seen, you know, the very best of england yet. now of course, that's not a bad thing because it's a good thing actually meant to build momentum as you go along. but with the exception of that code group group game against china and things and haven't really

been that impressive. one positive, of course, is that they've already conceded one goal in normal time so far, and that was a penalty. so defensively they being very solid. and obviously you mentioned serena friedman who's got plenty of tournament pedigree, she was, she won the european championships with things. and last year she won the you were paying championships with the netherlands in 2017. and she took the evidence to the final of the world, caught back in 2019 so certainly a manager who knows how to go for when it really comes down to it in tournaments. we spoke to england kept so many bright off to that last game against julia as she was aust, what will you be celebrating this result and how wrong? so it was a from no, we plenty of what to do. there's no separation. there's a long way to go, so i'm not thinking and you're taking it one game at a time and then mentality is that there's a lot of what left to be done. and tom, one of the columbia, they've been very strong. in fact, as i understand, it's been a historic run for them has of it. yeah, absolutely. i mean, we see that,

you know, any team underestimates columbia, that payroll gem and he did that and indeed very, very badly for the jam inside a particular, you know, one to watch really took m b, i is an 18 year old. so you may just need to kind of say there the one who screwed that fantastic gold against germany, which, you know, meets the cost uh, spaniel hooton's start at the various and then smashed into the top corner. so yeah, if columbia are to carry on inventory mcclintock, i say that was set and we have a big role to play and the columbia and friends here. so any confident that they had run doesn't into tonight. that's the way as far as corresponding tom can. i for us in sydney. tom, thank you so much for your record. 3 now, 2 minutes football and tom num hotspur striker harry kane has completed his move to bundles like a champions by munich. a fee of more than $100000000.00 euro has reportedly been agreed upon for the england captain, and that would be among this legal record. his contract will run until 2027. kane
