story of forest burning and warming the climate but a lot of what the burning that's been measured in recent weeks is burning that's an annual process on land that was already cut down so it's not just that this is trees that are being turned into carbon dioxide that are adding to climate change the bigger issue of climate change is absolutely still emissions of greenhouse gases from industry and smokestacks tailpipes of cars and until that gets reduced the amazon burning can come and go and it's really not it's almost like a sideshow compared to the bigger issue. and now you question an obstacle that explains that immediately think that generating a situation in the amazon why so why would anyone look to downplay such a thing. well again it's just numbers the burning in the when i was there in 1909 the reason my book was called the burning season was that it was a huge conflagration 77000 square miles and rainforest were cut and burned in the space of a few years that time so what's happened now happen after brazil had had a really substantial reduction and it's the forestation rate

is that they are burning notjust vegetation, trees, and shrubs, but they are burning into the soil,ernance in soils in other regions of the world which is increasing the amount of heat trapping gases they release.“ it unusual that the fires burn into the soil? do we not see that in other fires with yellow and other fires they might burn into the soil, the soil is really different in these regions. the soil is often peaty and it has a strong organic components, partially decomposed sticks and leaves. the carbon content is generally much higher in these soils. when they burn with and given results will top if we are seeing a lot of carbon being released into the atmosphere, can we estimate what effect it is going to have on climate change? sure. we can't estimate the exact effect it will have, but we know that increasing the concentration of heat trapping gases in the atmosphere is going to continue to warm our climate and so we know that this contribution from these fires is just going to further that trend.“ there a way to reverse or counter what we are seeing? there are ways to cou

i even saw somebody say that it burned for days. so the mythology around what actually happened in 1969 begins to grow, and my brother richard and i, as we researched our book, decided that probably the reason why the mythology about the burning river -- why it grows so much is because people's thoughts about a burning river having to be a major event, that this is a biblical thing, that rivers dote catch fire. it must be a sign of terrible water pollution of a type that had never been seen before. of course, the many previous fires dating all the way back to the late 19th century is an indication that the pollution had been a long-term problem in cleveland. >> the first reported fire going back to 1868, going back to the "time" magazine piece 50 years ago describing the cuyahoga as a river that oozes rather than flows, and in which people do not drown but decay. so just how bad was the river? david: i don't think there is any doubt that the cuyahoga was a terribly polluted river in 1969. i do think that it was not at its nadir, tha

their house really is burning so why.y is burning so emmanuel macron coming in with out so emmanuel macron coming in with our house is burning but it provides 20% of the auction on the planet. he has enraged jair bolsonaro and that's not the way to go at all, i messily mistrusts a lot of eu leaders and the only global leader he trusts is donald trump who could probably fix this problem if he turned his mind to it. the us is the country that has there not only resources but expertise to deal with theseissues resources but expertise to deal with these issues in a very literal sense with a burning rate for us to get the same thing happens in california. the us has the wherewithal to deal with this and trump could step in at any point. i'm not sure if the global outcry from european leaders is getting quite the right message. what is your view of this threat to scupper this trade deal between south american countries and the eu if they don't do something about it? is that the right attitude or approach? have to be a lot harde

and the amazon isn't the only rain forest burning scientists raise alarm about the number of fires in africa. the temperatures again because there's not much else to see in the sky these are the few clouds drifting across the northern caucasus in the caspian otherwise you just see hot sunshine now i know summer is coming to an end slowly but it's coming to an end so to see $48.00 in baghdad is to see a rather high temperatures heat wave territory again get to the coast you down to 30 but anywhere in london it's rapidly much hotter that doesn't change very much even come wednesday if you notice that heat is obvious for the science in saudi arabia near the coast is clearly not quite as hot and the increase in humidity is telling physically of course at night equally insular i think conceding crease in the south westerly with the cloud of becoming secure in your again just a returning because it's been no doubt much like a holiday for the last few days so i think that will return in southern africa we have seen brief he wavin that's gone so what's coming in from the west because this be

well 1st of all brian that's because the area that's burning is just so huge as we just heard and as you've said as well the area of denmark apparently it's just over $4000000.00 hectares that are burning siberia is huge as it were as it is anyway a state of emergency has been declared in 5 regions in russia there are forest fires every year in the tiger but these are just unprecedented and the other problem is that many of the areas that are burning are so remote they're very very hard for firefighters to reach nearly impossible the author already say ok this is their remote areas but nonetheless there are growing calls inside russia and internationally to change how moscow flights fires in siberia what's russia not getting right on this. and there's been growing anger as well among people here who say they've been being smoke choked by smoke coming from those fires they also were these are acting last week putin called the army to come to help put out fires there been flipped planes that have been dropping water on the area affected and there have been reports of successes as well

but 5 acres have burned and already burns live power lines which fell to the ground complicating matters. investigators are now looking into what caused this fire and this came on the day when temperatures were cooler than they had been in recent days, but we heard that wind in the video in our chief meteorologist lawrence karnow is here. you see the wind speeds right here. good thing it wasn't as hot as it's been yeah but the damage already been done. we've had day after day of temperatures in the 90's even some triple digits, so that really got all the fuel source is primed for fire conditionsof the fire started any at the wind so boy the firefighters doing a heck of a job these winds really i'm not calling down much so far in fact most those winds over 20 miles per hour to 25 miles per hour that is tough to fight fires in conditions like that as that will push those flames long quickly law that smoke now you can see probably pouring into parts of discovery bay into the central valley, there anywhere around those areas into tracy probably seen some of that smoke as well too but that se

so far, no homes have burned. but the fire is close to several structures, including the marsh creek juvenile detention facility. that's about half a mile from where we are. i can tell you, we're surrounded by open space. and a lot of ranchers. in fact, we've passed a lot of rancher the with trailers out, getting ready if they need to. people should avoid the area. there say road block up at marsh creek and pine lanes. the road between clayton and brentwood is completely shut down to traffic. we don't know what sparked these fires, or exactly how many fires broke out overnight. there's not a lot of wind right now. so firefighters definitely hoping to get this under control. the fire also burning by the clayton palms community, which is a mobile home park. so again, several structures threatened. and if we can put the camera around, i want to show you one of the ranchers down there. i'm seeing chickens walking around. there's home, people out, keeping a close eye on this fire. making sure it doesn't come too close

fires are not just burning in brazil. are affected including venezuela, bolivia and colombia. the loss of trees and habitat is greatest in brazil and that is where the global focus will remain. a couple of hours ago president bolsonaro, speaking on brazilian tv, blamed the fires on dry weather and above average temperatures. translation: all the countries have expressed solidarity with brazil. they have offered to help tackle the wildfires but have also offered to take brazil's position to the g7 meeting. wildfires can happen anywhere and they should not be used as a pretext for international sanctions. i'm joined by the world service americas editor leonardo rocha. his tone has been quite combative up to this point. has there been a change? president bolsonaro still has a feisty style and his address on national television was very strong and he defended his position. but he opened his statement by saying how much he loved the amazon. asa saying how much he loved the amazon. as a military man and former army captain, he

it will burn again.id ends up in the next lagoon, where the solids settle out and all you are left with is this watery, foamy mix which gets pumped to the reed beds over there. the foam is made of animal protein, which the reeds actually feed on. so they effectively suck the foam out of the liquid. so all you are left with at the end of the day is relatively clean water. as well as the practical firefighting that happens here at the international fire training centre, there is plenty of theory to be learned about the unusual ways that fire can behave. a real danger to firefighters is when a fire in a sealed room starves itself of oxygen, so it looks like the fire has gone out, but the whole place is still really hot. then if a firefighter opens a door to come in, oxygen rolls in and starts to mix with the gases. they become flammable again and that's when you get a backdraft. so... wouldn't it be good if firefighters could use technology to see what they are getting themselves into? that is what paul car

forests burn. it's just the natural course of things. >> sure. >> the burning of the amazon, first of all the reasons for the burning of what's going on but the burning of the amazon is a double whammy because this is a carbon sink, a place that absorbs carbon, which today is putting carbon, excess carbon into the air because of its burning. >> that's right. not only that you have thousands, millions of years of carbon scored in that system and it is producing a fifth of our clean water and the oxygen on our planet so when you destroy the system you are doing decades and decades or centuries of damage. >> and the industrial work to redo that, to take carbon out of the atmosphere and clean water and clean earth, that would be huge. >> we don't have the technology or capability for that. right now nature does that. that's why the whole thing is that we need to re-assess our entire relationship with nature. everyone keeps messaging me going how do we put out the fires? you can't. even if you could, th
