this year, the danube surprises almost every day.le drought has already affected the economies of european countries. but this time, the danube gave reason to recall the history of the second world war. i am the battle that took place on the border between serbia and romania in 1944, where the danube flows along the border between serbia and romania. the current drought is particularly noticeable. and when the level became minimal, they began to appear from under the water island of ships by local fishermen. they carefully go around the debris protruding from the water, recalling stories about the battles of the second world war that took place here. the forty-fourth german fleet, under the blows of the red army, retreated from the black sea and entered the mouth of the danube, it was pursued by armored boats of the first red banner kerch brigade of river ships, as part of the danube military flotilla , a fierce battle unfolded here, as a result of which dozens of ships of nazi germany went to the bottom and themselves sank their shi

well, and also about this uh, this strange story that happened in the danube, on the danube there, thelosmy, the orlyonok, collided with not an explosive device, again, we thought so, we thought here, what could be an explosive device, what kind of device can float in a river , and what is more, that it is somehow controlled. this ottoman ship ran into it, well, in any case, it got a hole yesterday, people were evacuated from this ship, today it sank again, the losmy ship, which paves the way, we understand very well, and ukraine also used the danube to export ukrainian grain and not only grain of other products because we are currently limited in the water area of ​​the black sea in the water area of ​​the sea of ​​azov, in principle , we understand this very well, that is why the danube was such a, you know, such a corridor, which was now very all the more, i will remind you that on the all the more, i will remind you that the people of the danube are a river that leads straight to europe, so how about this story, could there even have been shelling, you see, mr. serhiy says that it

reminds me of myself in serbia from the danube appeared the remains of fascist ships dozens of ships the channel and are usually hidden under the water column, but now, due to the drought, the danube has become so shallow that the gloomy mysteries of the river day of the don e, the locals again took up. it's like a threat and it's not about superstition at all. why the flooded german flotilla is dangerous, even after decades, evgeny tishkovets will explain. the ugly gray skeletons of a pile of metals whose outlines of warships are hardly recognizable nazi germany's flotilla on the danube reappeared from under the water of navigation, already extremely heavy in this area, the cemetery of the german kriegsmarine is practically paralyzed, located on the border of serbia and romania in the town of ashes. it is not known exactly how many ships rest here a couple of years ago, this dunaev carefully radiated. we studied the method of magnetic location, found at least 40 practically undamaged ships for various purposes. but these are only those that are not too deep in or judging by even the

even now, 78 years later, the passage under the danube in this place. very risky several tons of dangerous devices are here when ships with fifteen tons sail through here. vibrations are giving in and we don’t know what can happen serbian historians wrote that soviet troops beat the germans heroically during the liberation of yugoslavia, but the consequences of those battles still worry local residents, about 10,000 remained under water near prahov shells and no one knows. in what state are they, local environmental activists call this situation postponed for 78 years as an environmental disaster for these ships. for many years they have been here on the danube, they are corroded by corrosion, other chemical processes take place. this affects the flora and fauna on the environment. in addition, we know that there are tens of thousands of ammunition. and there is still oil left in tanks. in march of this year, the serbian government announced a tender for demining and removal of debris. the cost of the ships was estimated at 29 million euros. so, that fo

; now the bulgarian part of the danube does not work.re is a complete halt of dry traffic. we hope that the romanian side will complete the deepening bottom. on this area. otherwise, bulgaria will not be able to prepare for the winter, the announcement of the raid and its unsuitability for navigation. as economists revered, it can cost germany half a percent of gdp, which, compared to everyone else, is not there, there are also a lot of germans on the border with poland, in general, there is a mass death of fish, while the reason is still unknown, the germans hint at the dumping of chemicals from poland and call the incident ecological disaster. we do not know. to what extent has the ecosystem been affected and how long it will take months or years to restore it, because toxic substances or heavy metals were not found in any of the 150 wires, but only last week 10 tons of dead fish were removed from the bed, the famous carp ponds. bavaria is turning into the mud swamps of the loire. it has dried up. now it is possible to ford it in italy

about 70% of coal goes along the danube; now the bulgarian part of the danube is not working. there, a complete cessation of navigation is historically a minimum, as dry rivers interfere with europe due to the heat, and so those suffering from an energy crisis are preparing for winter. so, three settlements in the rostov region suffered from a large-scale natural fire, the most difficult the situation in the ust-donetsk region. more than 30 buildings burned there, residents are evacuated by the ministry of emergency situations, meanwhile, the group has increased to fight the fire , more than 400 people are already involved in the extinguishing , the il-76 aircraft is involved, capable of dumping more than forty tons of water at a time, which is known about the causes of cnc and all the latest information from pavel kuznetsov only from a bird's eye view , the true scale of the tragedy is revealed and the fire that started in the forest last night passed like a wall along the axis of the donetsk region. seen somewhere else smoke, and here are shots from the ground, the flames sp

large sandy islands also appeared on the danube water level, in one of the largest european rivers.ows, in some areas river navigation has already been stopped by weather anomalies, production chains have been seriously disrupted and in france a total emergency due to drought has been declared in almost 80 departments in the country , the inevitable shortage of honey potatoes and milk is not connected only with the grass burning out, but also with the low mobility of animals, which during the heat prefer to hide in the shade, the problem is expected and winemakers will not be able to harvest in full, and the taste of some grape varieties will change greatly according to the given. european meteorologists , a prolonged drought in the eu confirms our fears 17% of the territory remains in the zone of extremely hot weather, without precipitation. there has already been a serious blow to the harvest, scientists predict that abnormally warm weather will continue in the western region. mediterranean until november, as we said earlier, the current drought has become the most severe over the

this decade now at nuclear power plants built according to soviet technologies on the bank of the danube south of budapest, there are four power units, the station provides almost half of the production and more than a third of the electricity consumption in the republic this is the first recent story. e, making the first a license obtained by rosatom in the european union. this is very important along with the main license. starts other permits issued. in particular. we have already received, uh, permission to manufacture reactor vessels. this work will be carried out in the russian federation at our enterprises. this is an additional very serious factor, a very serious incentive for the development of our own technologies to create jobs in russia. hungary for the construction of the second stage. the paks npp could be up to 10 billion euros, the total cost of work is estimated at 12.5 billion, the hungarian government expects that, together with the development of solar generation. this will allow the country to become self-sufficient in electricity. the permission was obtained this so

the rhine sharply shallowed along which fertilizers and fuel were delivered, and navigation on the danubeenerally stopped the river. now you can go to the ford turned out to be closely related to the weather and beer prices burghers are preparing for the oktoberfest, before which a little more than a month is left. it is known that guests are waiting for prices and at least 15% higher than before, a liter of foam, for example, will cost an unprecedented 13 euros, brewers complain about the climatic rise in prices due to the heat and there was a hop crop failure, which was the impetus for an increase in prices. together, those who have benefited from the drought are the french vintners, at least part of them the owners of the famous lafite house. they simply cannot get enough of the consequences of the natural disaster, firstly, harvesting began a month earlier than the berry. ripe by mid- august not by the end of september. secondly, the grapes have acquired an unprecedented sweetness, which promises an exceptional quality of the product . producers are sure that the sommeliers of the pla

ashes in the place of forests, and the longest river did not burn for the last month in europe, the danube became so shallow that the serbs, bulgarians and romanians began to dig a deeper fairway in order to keep navigation on this important artery . now it’s not about greenhouse gas emissions, all these windmills, which are changing the european landscape beyond recognition, can do much more. greater harm to the climate as they slow down the movement of wind in the european atmosphere drought slows down in rain clouds from here and suddenly often showers retain moisture well the forest, but it is mercilessly cut down for the construction of wind parks in scotland, for example, in order to put twenty-one turbines, 14 million trees were destroyed at once. then they began to dig the ground for laying the cable for the foundation. in a word, they violated the entire ecosystem in germany in the name of saving the planet and began to cut down the fabulous forest of the brothers grimm 600-year-old tree giants. inspired them to write fairy tales. now all this, maybe in the past, and in the very t

it's happening in other rivers across europe as well from the war in france to the po in italy, the danube. we're seeing it across the continent right now. that not only our water levels are low, but the river water is also warmer. how does that impact the rivers ecosystem? yes, i mean that can impact species living in the rivers are fish plant species as well. that that certainly has an impact on the ecosystems with in this river. and that's not good. not only for the ecosystems fishermen who used the river and so it, it has knock on effects as well. now, authorities that say that shipping on the river might soon come to a standstill. what would that, what impact would that have? yes, that will certainly have an impact on a business back in 2018. that was the last time we hit a record low and, and shipping had to close actually, or, or not be moving up and down the ryan and not led to a point for a drop in gdp. this year there's estimates that it could be as high as a one percent drop in g d p. if that is forced to close so early in the season. and so that will have to be seen with if the

yes, so we've seen rivers across europe, the danube that the why and france, the po and italy all having these really low water levels. again that, that drought is just more intense due to climate change. so it means these rivers are getting less rainfall to fill them up and it's very hot for the waters evaporating more quickly and that is leading to them to sink quicker and quicker across the continent. thank you very much. the w samantha baker, the banks of the river, i'm in cologne. those low water levels across europe also making it harder to cool power stations and france, it's creating a particular headache for the countries nuclear power industry. nuclear reactors produce around 70 percent of the country's park. and many of those reactors depend on huge quantities of water from nearby rivers to cool them down strict rules or am to protect aquatic life, govern how much hot water can be released downstream. but due to frances current energy crunch, many nuclear stations have received special permits to keep running something that's making environmentalists for it. to w lisa lewis re

not only here on the ryan, but also on the wire and france on the po river in italy on the danube. really, across the continent, authority, se, shipping on the re book, right, where you might soon come to a standstill. what, what would be the economic impact of that? yes, so that will certainly impact businesses here in germany as well as a few other countries. most of germany's goods are shipped on the rhine, so it's going to have a big impact in 2008 last time that water levels got this low. ah, it impacted germany's g. d p by a point 4 percent of businesses are a little bit more prepared this time because they had that record year in 2008. 18 but you know, it's, it's to be seen usually at the record lows come closer to october. 3rd, we still got a ways to go in the season. so what can be done so because this drought is made worse by climate change, the main thing is reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and i means stop using fossil fuels. now it's perhaps a bit ironic that many of the ships that go up and down this river behind me are carrying things like coal, heating, oil and

here the belarusian danube stream is a tributary of crayons, the largest in belarus is that field, youh are 30 m 7 m around its girth, pure underground springs on yak boated the border. in a word, you are making a fuss on their short term. husband and needy reminded me of the greater bedsideness of the bewildered visitor natalya bardinatovsky ilya maksimov telenovine agency. and now the masters of the past soviet minsk have set fire to an unpopular work about our capital. the very same people's bridges. belarus native. vitebsk or more, by the age of 70, lived in minsk like that from nature, molyavau plots or from vomiting sexed already tyoma has a special market in the yard and avenues, swampy, another sexual twenties, pierce has a lot of booty, private cholera and protessia and the stock museums of the history of minsk and at shmelev 's holliray they exhibit them with a feather. he loved this city very much and dedicated a large number of paintings, and to our beloved city of minsk. and at the exhibition we can see such famous places as loshitsa svisloch red church opera and ballet th

throughout the region southern france portugal and the loire rivers continue to dry up along the danubee sections, it is possible to cross the almost paralyzed traffic along the rhine on foot. because of this, experts predict the fall of the german economy by half a percent. indeed , the stands of almost all federal rivers remain at a very low level, weather forecasters promise precipitation for this week, but despite this, according to our forecasts , the levels will continue to decrease in fact in the european part of russia and july and august are also still warm in moscow, for example, last month. the average air temperature exceeded the norm by a full degree. that's quite a lot. however, unlike europe, atmospheric fronts periodically made their way to the russian plain. bringing cargo and precipitation, they did not compensate for the negative impact of abnormal heat. the reason for everything is the azorean anticyclone, which has been hanging over the old world for many weeks. he doesn't give clouds gather, which allows the sun to heat up the surface layer of the atmosphere, besid

we are seeing that across the continent and the danube on the law in france and the po, river river in italy. these are really low water levels and it's, it's of great concern, not just for shipping, but you know, anyone who relies on these rivers. okay. we'll leave it there. thank you so much. samantha baker in cologne. thank you. but i can look at some more stories making headlines today have polish firefighters of now i recovered a 100 tons of dead fish from the river odor, which forms part of the gem polish border. more have been removed downstream in germany. scientists are baffled. german tests have confirmed mercury levels are not to blame. a poland has also sent samples to other european laboratories. police in pakistan say at least 20 people have died after a speeding bus collided with an oil tanker. the crash trigger defy that ignited the tanker and quickly engulf both vehicles. 6 passengers survive to deadly traffic. accidents are common in pakistan. and mainly because of speeding of the poor state of roads. saturday marks 10 years since 34 striking miners were gunned down b

is drying up the rivers of europe and paralyzing navigation on the key waterways of the rhine and danube to carry out their main functions. this had a negative impact on the supply of huge volumes of fuel and coal. and besides, the drought hinders the grain trade and other goods. for example, salt from the halburn is delivered here by river in no way to the rhine and usually. they carry almost 2.200. t now they are with six hundred tons. and it shows, the less water, the less cargo on ships, all new ships, all new ships that are ordered and built, are built taking into account low water, this measure is just to fit the situation. well, the problems don't end there. the water level in the italian water arteries has dropped so much that it does not allow watering rice fields and growing shellfish, but in france the rigis have become too warm to effectively cool a nuclear reactor, further exacerbating an already massive energy crisis. the ministry of industry and trade of russia has revealed the timing of the start of mandatory labeling of beer, including non-alcoholic and low-alcohol drink
