12:01 pm
quality port, and now are you better? how will these parish games be? remember that we take a look at the heroes, and icons excites plus the controversy or the both pollution and gender. the i've been phys, owen woke up. greece has ordered the evacuation of hospitals at homes near the capital athens, as wild fines continues to spread. hundreds of 55 is a bad thing. the flames which of reached more than 25 meters high in some places by minister cutty articles made so tonic as has cut short his holiday and return to the capital to deal with the crisis. places exceptionally vulnerable to bonfires. the country has now seen it's hot of summer on record, with many regions experiencing no significant rifle in months from athens,
12:02 pm
journalists on think how to solve. i gave us the latest on the wall fights. well, it is scary and hiring yet again, at least 10 communities have been with thousands of people have been ordered to evacuate from their homes near the region of knob, which is the main, a front line of this for roses wildfire. and that is some 40 kilometers, just north of the greek capital, more than 4 other communities. and further south of that are on stand by its residents. been notified by the authorities to be ready to push out and move further south. the authorities, of course, have mobilized more than $400.00 firefighters on the grounds. dozens of, uh, fire bombers in the air, trying not to dallas out the fire, but literally to, to,
12:03 pm
to bring it into check after it sparked yesterday mid afternoon. and because of gale force winds, and because of a pro long drought here, literally spread at a lightning speed towards the east to store towns, for example, like mattress on has also been evacuated. the prime minister has cut short, he's vacation coming to athens, to oversee all these operations. smoke has been so intense uh that it build and literally cloak has closed the center of athens, keeping many residents on tours also in shock and panic, seen skies kind of turned into this yellow brown hue and ashes kind of showered across the capitol. authorities are advising athenians, especially those with respiratory problems to uh, to,
12:04 pm
to stay inside and remain behind shut doors and closed windows. um and it's all debris is that after greece is all just winter. we are now seeing how does greece is record temperatures here, especially in june and july, that have contributed to climate change that have created this really bad pop towel that is feeding this fire. i think. can we expect to see any relief in the coming days, considering officials a warning that hosp the country is at high risk? absolutely, half the country is at high risk because of these high temperatures. and because of gale force winds that show no sign of abating in the next couple of days. so it really comes down to those firefighters on the ground volunteers soldiers. everyone
12:05 pm
has been mobilized means to be seen. also, the, the government will be calling on obviously, e you assistance to come to come in. i think, how does, how about with the latest from grace. thank you very much. authorities in another bus and border region and avoided evacuations over ukraine's cross border incursion . the governor of one district have better go to test, told residents to relocate processes ukrainian troops of advanced by up to 30 kilometers across the border. the surprise move that started in cost lots of launches the tackle and russian soil since the weekend. okay. if corresponded to connolly gave me this updates on the you cleaning and offensive look, i think, yeah, we were expecting that almost the weekend we would have a better handle on what exactly is going on in coast reason. but it seems more or less to be the opposite situations. we've had to clamp down from russian authorities on civilians posting stuff, social media. so those videos we had in the 1st few days of destroyed rushing me
12:06 pm
a kind of convoys. those have stopped similar situation with the so called ministry blog as these bloggers will close the rest minute to who were pretty uh, you know, kind of panic and obese. beating the drum that the russian government wasn't taking this seriously. those 2 days they have gotten down and pull them into line and hit the crane, so it is keeping very tight lips when we do get stuff posted by ukraine soldiers, it often seems to be a couple of days out of date, but does still seems to be the case the ukraine forces are about 30 kilometers deep, interested in the quick squeeze. and we've had reports of incursions at other places on the border and build the region and in other parts course region. and there is a sense that the ukraine is on a role. we've had reports by another saying that russia had built defenses in this part of its board with ukraine. but the, it's just wasn't enough boots on the ground and enough of munitions and other equipment that actually make those defenses work. so basically, once the crane, your soldiers had pos, those both defensive lines. they could basically take much territory as they wanted and didn't really find much in the way of russian soldiers. and if there were that
12:07 pm
they would most likely conscripts, people in the early twenties with no me a fight to experience in the front lines who weren't able to put, put up much of a fight. and this is the biggest ukrainian incursion, if it's type in this will, what could it achieve? of the well, present soleski has kept your very quiet. he hasn't given any kind of broad aims to this. he just talked about basically giving russia a taste of its own medicine. i think they are very coach the fact that they put too high expectations on the counter offensive last year. and they replaced the training it to month for it actually happened and then were able to meet unable to meet expectations. this time i think it's pretty opportunistic, just seeing how much search they can take a look. see, this is great and we're out in ukraine often months of bad news. it's also very bad for morality and rush are obsolete here. that'd be pushing basically unable to secure his own country's board, let alone you know, take control of the ukraine. so that is, you know, a winning for ukraine, also internationally. it shows your western countries may be thought that ukraine was basically running out of steam, but there is still
12:08 pm
a resource kind of base that i think there was a hoping to force the russians to take trips away from the front lines in the east of ukraine's and yet screeching with the russians being really pushing forward, we've had reports that russia is having to move. it's playing to save ation. that's being crucial to it's uh, advanced on the ground to quote region. and they're all now increasing reports of sol just being moved from that kind of less high priority pots, the front lines, and you probably not yet from place like up across school. just if you are obviously this will take time. that sort of thing that happens within a couple of days, but the hope is that this could really allow you printing troops needs to be in suffering to basically, you know, have a break and to have less of a russian supremacy kind of opposite them. and you're potentially that's been the suspicion that this could also be some kind of a swapping future that ukraine takes start, treat in russia to then a for as a trade for the rest of the budget. great. will these things are still speculative, but for now, i think given the kind of seemingly relatively small investment in terms of resources and manpower, i think this is going back to then, you know,
12:09 pm
most ukrainians of us would have expected just a few days ago. they connolly in case thank you very much for the analysis. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making use this our fire at the separation nuclear power plant and ukraine has been extinguished according to russian state media. the facility in solving ukraine is under russian control, russian and you credit and authorities, confirmed one cooling towel was damaged. most guidelines, the blaze on euclidean shilling chief says russia is responsible. isabel has expanded its evacuation orders. the southern guns, after warning over you military operation of the area, tens of thousands of civilians have already fled on judas in recent days, the latest order comes as the most militant group judges mediation is to return to a truce plan presented by us president jones 5 and last month, the united states has ordered a strike group of war ships and find a judge to excel rate the deployment of the middle aged defense secretary lloyd
12:10 pm
austin publicly announced he was sending a guided nissan submarine to the region. it's seen as a message of deterrence to run and it's proxies the us and israel believe preparing a large scale attack on iran, or on israel, brother to bangladesh. now where police have resume patrols of the capital after a week long strike, it was late night talks with the new interim government which is bound to restore law and order of the weeks of deadly on rest. the new cabinet has also expressed great concern of the reports of a tax against religious minorities rights groups say they've recorded of a 200 such incidents since the ousting of prime minister shaken siena hindus are the largest minority faked in the country, which is predominantly most of them, and many of them supporters of a scene as potty, the general assignment is um, works for the daily stuff as to how wide spread the attacks of minorities have been since before the bill for attorney and government you are right. the there were
12:11 pm
over $200.00 supported incidences. incidents has a violence on minorities, but i just, i do want to say that this is a conservative estimate. not everyone is reporting that the volume is that they are experiencing and not all of it is of the scale that can be reported. like, you know, someone probably came and uh, the door off a bit, a few of the house of the roof of your house that a bit, a bit of violence like that is probably falling off their radar. whereas more large scale, why lives best, for example, branding as homes, et cetera, are being reported. so it's more than that it's, it's right now it's, it's the culture of fear that a certain my knowledge of groups might be living in that i think is, uh, what's more pressing is that when you know the government show, and uh, uh, we have a hold for a new government, a new bangladesh, the minority seemed to be a bit of enough to talk in this area about, you know,
12:12 pm
the proceedings. the other problem is that independent information on these attacks has been hard to get. what role is base information playing at the moment? while the minorities themselves are feeling up for our feeling to speak out of the same time india, especially in the try writing groups in india. i really treating this really taking up the, you know, the, this issue and there are some of the things that they're tweeting, although not necessarily to correct. for example, these noticed that these were there was this one, writing tutor account that i teach it out of photo. also i printed their ma sure. if you've been motors, those house being set on fire and said that it was a minority cricketers house being set on fire. whereas my shop you've been most i is actually and allow me fundament area and wasn't along the 5 and find them interior. and so are, there are those, you know,
12:13 pm
things that they are really capitalizing on the scenario. this is, i think that's also a bit of their foreign policy. that's also a bit of how they perceive bangladesh. they're receiving bangladesh as a, as a, as a place where minority groups are not safe. and i'm not seeing that we have done our best in the past few days and protecting our minority groups. but at the same time, i think the kind of messaging that's being pushed out of saved, right, surgeon, right wing hoops in india is not necessarily a reflection of the truth. it's more their fears that they've gone to. let's move on to the political shift that's on the way the son of the hosted pm world over the weekend at the a why me leaks, i can see is putting should not be excluded from politics and bangladesh. let's have a listen to what he had to say. you're not going to be able to establish democracy in bangladesh without the comedy it will never be accepted by half the people of the country at least. so just as with the b,
12:14 pm
it's going to me between the b and b and allow me to, we need to work together. we are willing to meet with anyone to talk with anyone, to restore democracy, to ensure peace, to restore law and order. so is a, how is the transitional government dealing with representatives of the old regime or at the bottom of the transitional government is not necessarily engaging with represented as the old regime is what we have seen. i don't want to say that it's only been less than a week. it's not even been a week yet. and they have, uh, you know, they've had their hands full trying to bring back control to a country that has had, that had completely fallen a part of the scenes. so for example, they're trying to get the police to come back to the police station. i'm out of the police disney joining work today. some of the police agents have become operate operational starting today. they're trying to get of protesters to longer, certainly stop protesting, but also to bring some semblance of normalcy back to the streets. and i think at
12:15 pm
this point, communicating with the old regime has not necessarily been, you know, their, their top most priority there. they are in fact there, instead of that, they're actually looking more towards reform, which means they're trying to see places they're trying to move on faces. for example, the supreme court where, where, you know, the previous meeting might have installed the people of their own. they're trying to reform places where the previous regime had me into treated and, and politicized institutions. so i wanna thank you very much for your analysis and bringing us up to date on that story. germany's air force has been taking part in ed drills in india, along with navy partners including france, spain, and the u. k. it's the 1st time german forces have held exercises with india. the w's centipedes as bond has more touch the sky with glory. that's the
12:16 pm
chosen motto of india. the air force, many of it's tied to jets, are refreshing and rich and with a fleet of close to 2000 aircraft, it's the 4th largest in the word after the us, russia and china. for the past week, the indian air force has been hosting for europe and nato countries and the big joint address. and it's air based and sewer in the southern states of time. united amongst the guests. germany's air force, which made india the last stop. buffet specific skies exercises the offers chief himself to one of germany's your real fight tests from malaysia to india. from a german perspective, the joint maneuver is much more than just an ad, right? it's also a political and strategic statement. we see that this area because we
12:17 pm
think is a very, very important area for basically the whole good and we want to work with partners to make this area safe. and this is the 1st time german forces have participated in any maneuver in india. germany had long been has attempt about close defense cooperation with india, mainly because of the kashmir conflict and human rights concerns. but the rest of the invasion of ukraine and shyness actions and the into pacific have really shifted strategic thinking. i think, you know, it is a very unruly, broad in between right now you need partners across the globe not only in europe that really with whom you share the same values and india, you know, weight is a democracy with a stable democracy with the very sound constitution sounds, democracy. we switch the share many, many views on the world, and just like germany, india is looking at new partners as relations between russia and china. ro,
12:18 pm
noticeably wilma, india is seeking reliable allies to address its own china challenge. and it's in the ring for the dispute, but the indian ad she is quick to emphasize that the exercise is not directed against anyone. and i don't think we are training to operate against any one particular nation auto industry. it is just in answering the interoperability. you know, and answering the, the but i mean between the phones, this primitive but india is also in western countries like germany, full potential speeds as it seeks to castle the distance itself from its largest supply of russia. ukraine war and west and sanctions have made deliveries of space and munitions much more difficult. any kind of the technology transferred to joined wrenches is always welcome. we would like to partner with the industry that can offer as more of no help, better than just no way and any,
12:19 pm
any partnership is most welcome. in short, both india and germany view. the intensifying defense cooperation is crucial in the rapidly changing global order. a small story is making headlines. now. building 20 people have died in the uganda in capital compiler after landfill collapsed in heavy rains. the cities over the landfill is located on a steep slope in an impoverished area with some local scavenging for plastic waste as a source of income. at least 2 of the dead with children. tropical storm, maria has made land full in northern japan. it's some areas seeing break old levels of rain authorities issued evacuation warnings to more than $300000.00 people. there are no reports of injuries or property damage. aria was initially categorized a severe tropical storm but was downgraded to tropical storm after losing some of its strength and innovation. as president, yoko, we don't,
12:20 pm
as held the 1st cabinet meeting in the country soon to be new capital. there was a time around the city is being built on the borneo at an estimated cost of $35000000000.00 it scheduled to be integrated next week. the counting capital chicata is increasingly underst right from pricing suzanne the 2024 olympics have come to a close detail. we use jonathan crane was in paris for the big event and gave us his perspective on the highs and lots, 2 weeks of high quality support and now of us or how will these parish games be remembered. so let's start with the highs. despite heavy security in the face of the country, the friends of embrace these games stadiums have been most before. and so how do i highlights of level more strong have read 805, and your country. i feel like it turns parish for that for a week. it's been magic here. it's been a success to john pics has been amazing. obsolete mothers have been able to share
12:21 pm
in that magic with the i didn't pick vintage dates for a nursery for the very 1st time. legend free american sprintzel allison phoenix has been instrumental in that project and my message to all the mothers as you are capable. you are absolutely capable to have your best performances. after childbirth, parisians have seen the city transformed into an open stadium with eye clinic landmarks like the eiffel tower turned into spectacular venue. just don't mention this one, the river send pollution level is a constant worry for organizes with a trash on. on swimming, my recent events, most effective, some swim as even reported sickness. but the gentleman in story of these are the impacts has been in the books in competition. they mon kelly for vouch area and taiwan. so when you think we're both set to have failed 10 to test last year, i didn't pick rose meant they could still compete. but that participation has raised questions. i've offended the safety and inclusion in women sports coats in
12:22 pm
the middle of the books. this stuff is horrible. abuse on social media if you had and then i asked people to stop bullying all athletes. because this has massive effects. it can destroy people. and this, despite the negative attention vice kelly for add link to coating the gold medal fable, say they've silence that critics for the why the debate will shortly rumble and long beyond these other impacts. and joining us, the more is down your buffalo. now, the closing ceremony compared to the arctic ceremony which caused so much controversy. well, the closing ceremony was definitely more traditional, let's say, because it was not held on the sun under the rain. it was in the difference, but it was still very artistic and spectacular. we saw a lot of the same character is in the opening ceremony. this golden voyager. we saw dancers that kind of looked like mummies and acrobats that looked a little bit like aliens, but it was all very spectacular. and now it since been excellent backs will be held
12:23 pm
in los angeles. it was kind of that passing of the torch. there was the american national anthem, and then you could start to hear the chords for mission impossible. and then tom cruise is on the roof. and he jumps down into the stadium and he takes the flag and then he brings it to l. a by sky diving out of a plane. and then the closing ceremonies is there now lay, and we saw, you know, the red hot chili peppers reformed, and billy iowa, dr. dre, and of course, the unofficial or official olympic mascot's new dog also performed. i think for me would, would made it perfect was if the golden voyager was revealed to be some new dog, but it was great. otherwise, what about the competition your highlights. it's so hard to pay could just a few highlights in so little time. but i think we have to start with 22 year old. we all martian the french swimmer who essentially became a sensation in these olympics. of course, he was for the, for an individual events with gold medals. he won 2 of those gold medals in the
12:24 pm
same day that's actually never been done before. not even by michael phelps and a lot of people actually comparing him to microphones, staying and swimming. of course katy with becky. she was already the greatest women's swimmer of all time. coming into the olympics. every time she's got to the pool, she wins another bottle. it breaks another record. of course, um, small bottles coming back from her mental health breaks really change the narrative yet around mental health when he more meadows so dominant in her competitions. of course, 41 year old cuban wrestler, my he lopez, he won 5. it straight olympic gold medals. so when he won his 1st metal, the gold medal on the olympics, there were some athletes and this one that weren't even born yet. so. okay. what about uh, gender power. do you have? okay. yeah, so this case has been incredibly significant for women. the i will see really committed to gender parity. so in this games there was 50 percent men and women athletes in the games. there were more female events, more mixed events,
12:25 pm
which was cool because men and women competing together, they also committed to more visibility. so putting women's advance in primetime broadcasting slots and planning it so that they didn't compete with men's events. you could watch both. the women's marathon also closed out the games which has never been done before. also, for the 1st time in history, the olympic village had a nursery for parent athletes. of course, there's benefit in men and women because parenting is a job, of course, for men and women. so families could use the nursery, which was great. but of course, as a female professional, asking myself, i can tell you that you know the discussion around becoming a parent and keeping your professional career going. it affects women more than men in the case. but these initiatives are really fantastic to see meal effects and hopefully we can just improve moving forward. you want to be jumping into this in any time, so i don't think so. no hope of you next chairs? no, nope. you buffalo to thank you very much for coming in bates. and finally,
12:26 pm
