anchor: thank you, roberta.tion, given that tackling climate change is a very long-term piece of work, do you advise that countries such as spain need to improve the systems they have in place to prepare for this kind of sudden flooding? roberta: absolutely, to be prepared is fundamental, vital. this is what we call an early-morning system, something that is promoted by the world meteorological organization. their critical line of defense -- they are a critical line of defense against the natural hazards, whether it is hurricanes, droughts, or wildfire. this system is designed to alert us to danger, to save lives, and to reduce the massive economic losses by prevention. this early warning system is much more than just an alert of the phone, of the siren. it is a complex process that starts long before the hazard even strikes. anchor: roberta, thank you very much indeed. prospects of a cease-fire between israel and hamas and one between israel and hezbollah seem to be fading despite recent diplomatic efforts. tod
