and many of them are struggling to advise it. but let's turn now to greece, where emergency crews battling while fires have found the burned bodies of 18 people authority save the deceased may be my friends who cross the border with turkey. and that area in the northeast has seen intense fires and recent days and new blazes have also broken out near the capital athens. hundreds of fine fine does have been battling blazes across grace. before tuesday, 2 people have been reported date and to find find is injured in the dozens of fires . but the discovery of the 18 burn bodies, the alexander populace in the countries northeast, took authorities by surprise. the city is near the border with tucker, official, a suspect. the deceased may have been migraines, to minister with no reports of disappearances or missing residents from the

surrounding areas. the possibility that these bodies belong to people who entered the country illegally as being investigated by the postal code. am us, greece, is 5, find is have been stretched to the limits in the northeast, so much so that athens has appealed to the e. u for assistance. these remaining and rescue is just some of the international crews who have been called in to fight the flames. but gale force winds and temperatures of, of, of 40 degrees celsius. i'm making them tough to contain. close to the capital, athens finance have also broken out. authorities have urged tens of thousands of people to leave the cities northwest suburbs of unknown the o. c a. some local is described how the last polls they had to buy knows everything was boots, went up in flames. now we've already sleeping on

a bench is like junkies. it took them 8 to 10 hours. the final charge has southern europe's hearts and dry. some is make it particularly prone to walk fires and with the car and he wave expect it to last until friday. at least, the current situation may only get worse. while pockets dawn is breathing a sigh of relief. after 6 children and 2 adults who were trapped in a dangling cable car have been lowered to safety, local rest, the words are being praised as heroes for their goal and the rest of operation. they stepped in after the military was only able to save one child by helicopter. the rest were brought down by a zip wind, require a local emergency team to work throughout the nice well, the students had been using the cable car to travel to school in the mountainous region. one of those rescued has been sharing his story. smiles of relief,

as i told you, lies were united with his family all the go off to surviving a terrifying modell on his morning commute. i saw that we were going to school around 7 in the morning when the dump lois halfway there its cable broke condition, it was dangling and i was terrified. jasmine that afterwards the helicopter arrived and tried to risk you, us of the teenagers, uncle describes the planet that was felt by those watching from the ground. the boy, i loved to me, it came and it was like a doom stay for the area. i'm not going to, i'm everyone rushed out of their homes that have been in children and got all those sisters that the voucher which i'm use, the same cable car in the mornings and afternoons. stuff like that, iowa, that 8 people, including 6 school children, was stuck in a cable call for hours of to the support cable snapped leaving the going to low

hanging high above the ravine. rescue efforts by helicopter were eventually hampered by wind. but all me come on those in locals. what tirelessly side by side into the evening to bring each person to safety some nearly 12 hours of today with the stranded cable cars are popular, major transporting remote mountainous areas of pakistan. but they also not routinely maintained pack custodial storage use of now or did safety inspections of old private mount lists. and journalists, mesheena boss has been following the rescue operation from his mom about a sheet. it's remarkable isn't it, that local volunteers were the ones who did

a lot of the heavy lifting and this rescue efforts. so it was a very long day yesterday, the military had been involved for hours, attempting to rescue children and the 2 adults. and they were successful in doing so to some extent, the operation went well into the night and that's when the locals also stepped in and use zip lines to rescue the last 2 people. so it was definitely a joint effort and could not have been done without this kind of teamwork that we saw yesterday. we also have to remember that the locals knew the terrain, and they knew the cable cause better than anyone else as they are the ones who made them. so their knowledge and skills were important in the sense, given this mission. yeah, and of course there being praise as heroes for their efforts. now looking ahead at how to make sure that something like this doesn't happen again, do authorities in progress on have a plan to prevent accidents like this in the future. so at the moment the kid can take a prime minister, his off the old cable cars and your lives to be suspended. um these are areas where

cable cars are used to transport because they're very new. roads are for disconnecting the values to reach jobs. public services and families to local people are left to dispatch things together in the form of these unregulated cable cars that are made from scrap material. whether there is a solid plan to address that issue is yet to be seen. the suspension of all cable cars is a solution prompted by local and international medias with me and is not backed by any long term vision to provide an alternative. one suspects that the, that the band will work initially, but over time, as there is no practical alternative, the local people will begin running the cable cars again, despite the suspension. well, thank you very much for joining us onto to visit with that update. that's journalist machine of us and as long as i thank you, i as well a new scientific study says climate change caused by humans as fuels candidates worse wildfire seasoned on record the world,
