very strong. and um, the situation doesn't look like it will calm down in the next hour. indeed, a great authorities have warned that it's not just there, but in fact, half the country faces a high risk of fires do so. those strong wins and high temperatures, still windy, where you are, but what are conditions looking like for the days ahead? exactly. the high largest floor at how the country um from yesterday until tomorrow . so everyone is on a higher alert. um i'm sorry the, the conditions are extremely hard for everyone as they try to cold as you fire from are lighting up every every now and then. so they cannot really have all sources. that's why volunteers are extremely important and also for these are people to follow that location orders and to follow also new updates on local media in order to make their work easier to protect everyone and to help and how our efforts to

he has now accused of multiple counts of manslaughter. for more than 20 people have been killed and a rubbish don't collapse and view guns and capital come papa. at least 2 of the victims were children. he said he's only landfill is located on a steep slope, which was weekends. why heavy rain? some locals are scanned for plastic waste as a score source of income. a draft of law allowing girls as young as 9 to be married. hasn't sparked protests across iraq rights activists say. the proposal which is backed by conservative. she, a muslim politicians, would legalize the child of rape. if it becomes law, religious authorities would have the power to decide on family affairs, including marriage, divorce, and child care. president vladimir putin has ordered his forces to health ukrainian troops as king of pushes on with it's a week long offensive, and the course region more than 100. 20000 russians near the ukrainian border has

been relocated, who didn't accuse this cube of trying to for meant public unrest and to gain leverage and possible peace talks. as well as stopping air force personnel from traveling abroad because of fears at an attack from iran or one of its allies is imminent defense minister, you'll have golan says, as well as in a state of vigilance and preparedness. tensions have been bouncing in the middle east over the killings of leading members of the homos and has the militant groups . a public announcement by the united states that it's sending a submarine warships and fighter jets to bowls for israel's defense is being seen as a warning to a run around your joe capero is a ceo of gulf states analytics, a risk assessment group. i asked him, is there any signs that an attack on israel by iran is imminent? a thank you. good to be on your program. i would have a very difficult time imagining the ronnie is not retaliate and considering the 2

very high ranking figures in the run, the lead access of resistance were killed last month. then of course, the killing of the hamas leader in the heart of the running capital, which shows milly eating, leadership and tier on definitely wants to establish what we often called, quote unquote deterrence capacity. so i do think there is going to be some sort of an action from the ron or other actors and the axis of resistance. but i'm not so convinced that it will necessarily come so soon. i think that ron will be acting cautiously. they certainly don't want to do something that would give is real justification for escalating this to a much higher level. and i think the runny is are also quite content to see everyone on edge and certainly to see these railings very nervous. so again, i definitely expect some sort of any ronnie and response, but i don't think there's any reason to assume that it's going to come at some

point in the immediate future at germany's chancellor. all off schultz has spoken to a ron's new president and my suit for that key on as called for restraint will not have any effect on the iranian leadership. you thank as i don't think so in light of the europeans responding to the way in which the us sabotaged the nuclear deal back in 2018 is left. the ronnie is viewing the europeans, is completely spineless. unable to stand up to washington, then also the conflict in ukraine has heightened tensions between western european countries. any ron and then also everything in the middle east and is october 7th of lead to a further deterioration of ties between most e you members and iran. i don't think germany really has much influence here. let's keep in mind and germany has been a staunch supporter of israel throughout this conflict. i again, i,

i just don't see the leadership in germany really saying anything that's going to have much of an effect on a ron, to be entirely honest. and what about the united states thinking on this? are you surprised to see them deploying a guided missile submarine to the region? no, not at all. i think obviously the united states is trying to send a message to israel and also all of israel's adversaries in the region that washington is going to have the israel's back. no matter what happens. and if these hostilities spiral out of control and turn into a full fledged war in the middle east, i'm positive, the united states will go all in to support israel. and this flexing of military muscles is about sending that message out to friend. and so just before i let you go, i'd like to turn briefly to the gaza cease fire talks and brokered by the us at guitar

and egypt that we are expecting to take place on thursday. i am also is now rejected an invitation to a final round of negotiations. can you see any hope for these talks? so i'm not extremely optimistic about these high stakes talks to set for later on this week. i, you know, late last month. uh, presumably it was the israel that assassinated the lead, a mazda negotiator. you have to certainly consider how that makes some os look at the idea of negotiating with israel in a different way. and also the new a mosse chief. sin wire is a lot less flexible than his predecessor. he is much more of a hard liner. i. he is taking, he will be taking more maximum list positions as the homeless chief and i think it's going to be much harder with these new conditions. there's new leadership in home, us to imagine the palestinian group being willing to make real compromises with the

israelis at the round table. not saying it's not possible, but i just want to stress that i think it's going to be much more difficult despite all of the hard work that we've seen from officials in egypt and cops are. well, thank you so much for joining us with those insights that is giorgio coffee, aero, with gulf states analytics, we very much appreciate your time. thank you so much. i just before we go, a quick reminder of our top story this. our grease is asking for your opinion for help as a wall fire burns out of control on the outskirts of athens, hospitals and homes near the capital are being evacuated. hundreds of firefighters and military personnel has been battling the place. and i hear news update this hour. stay tuned for a planet a coming up next. it investigates the potential of concentrated solar power. i'm glad richardson in for lynn for me. the whole team here working behind the scenes.
