To the program. Governors across europe are warning people to take precautions as a record heat wave moves across the continent temperatures are forecast to exceed 40 degrees celsius in some places and germany helicopters have been deployed to fight wildfires in the eastern state of brandenburg where forests have seen little over recent weeks. And she ran out of her. Way. To push you. To see. How i think that weather is much harder than when i expect because i felt in europe the weather may be nicer than this is too hot for me actually its really unpleasant but were used to it unlike other people so we are not preparing specifically but you have to make sure you stay hydrated. And hot winds from the sahara turning up temperatures across europe in france authorities are warning people about the intense heat. Before its all full also fitfully felt should drink limit physical activity or even keep the body wet or to cover them while protect them from the sun with hats is all sunglasses and long sleeved shirts yes. Do not leave them in the car even for a very short time which. Its important to remember this the. Heat wave in france in 2003 years thought to have killed 15000 people this time the country is better prepared. Other European Countries are issuing warnings as well germany is expecting record breaking high on wednesday and children the only ones at risk. For im given pretty and its also older people with preexisting Health Problems with their kidneys problems with hydration problems with their hearts when theres a heat wave and they dont drink enough they get even bigger problems they can also get dizzy and fall. To drink drink drink. Water internally or externally its the bomb against europes coming heat. So what is going on well lets ask our weatherman meteorologist alexandra field the brunt is from the German Weather Service vetter dot com welcome to the debut thanks for having me so i what should we be preparing for its been quite hot is it going to get much hotter yes that there are temperatures will rise even more in southern germany even more tomorrow up to 39 degrees but it has been hot in france for quite a few days and it will get even hotter theres a 304344 degrees possible in Southern France and also spain is really hot at the moment but the heat will also proceed to Eastern Europe so 3638 percent in poland thats what we are expecting east after a very and all and put this in context for us on a normal hot day were looking at temperatures of what well in july. Temperatures like 28 or 29 or more pot are often more often possible of course it can exceed 30 degrees easily in june but this will be the 1st of all the hottest june on record in germany and it will also the all time record of 40. 00 degrees in germany might also be. Reached tomorrow its a feel theres a 5050 chance that it will be reached i was i did 40 degrees celsius in sydney in 2006 and even the sydneysiders are so you know that nobody left the house it was about so thats something to look forward to this is dangerous though isnt it its dangerous for many people yes of course if your if you have problems with your with your. If you arent already sick or if you are small children older people are really in danger so its a really problem if you forget to drink something or if you eat too heavy you need to lighten yours of course and i wonder what are they in danger of well actually the we have seen in the last years that the mortality rate of mortality rises so the number from truth im of the numbers from 2003 were 10000 of people died through a heatwave in europe are not because people die in the street but the mortality rate rises and you can count that later then. And make make that connect that to the heat wave so that is really a problem that more people die when its harder so and are we talking about a one off extreme weather event or does this fit into a pattern are we looking at Climate Change i think of the june of this year is a good example of how Climate Change has already changed our our weather patterns and our temperatures so there is only one way basically then that a way of the way is up the temperatures are rising even more the june like 50 or 60 years ago. Middle or no europe were really different the temperate says have gone up like 2 degrees on average in june and also new of course the climate tends to break records as it gets warmer as though were seeing more records. This year and its an its a very very went event that we are heading to and it can only get worse something to look for Alexander Hildebrand meteorologist from vetter dot com thank you thank you. Dr tensions between iran and the United States that. The path to diplomacy is not permanently closed following President Trumps imposition of new sanctions against iran Supreme Leader. Ayatollah ali khamenei and the military leaders Irans Foreign Ministry describe the measures as a sign of u. S. Desperation the President Trump said they were a strong and proportionate response to what he said were irans increasingly provocative actions. After ramping up the pressure of the United States struck a more conciliatory tone at a meeting with israel and russia in jerusalem u. S. National security advisor john bolton encouraged iran to seek dialogue. The president has held the door open to real negotiations to completely and verifiably eliminate Irans Nuclear Weapons Program its pursuit of Ballistic Missile Delivery Systems its support for International Terrorism and its other malign behavior worldwide all that iran needs to do is to walk through that open door. Predictably u. S. Attempts to use economic leverage to coerce it into negotiations did not go down well with tehran irans president on monday lashed out at trump for imposing sanctions on irans head of state ayatollah harmony you know. How can a person lose their mind so badly. And do something so outrageous and idiotic which by sanctioning the leader of a country. The latest round of sanctions comes after iran shot down a u. S. Drone over the gulf of oman the u. S. Also blames tehran for a string of attacks on oil tankers in the area iran denies the accusations the sanctions were 1st levied in august last year shortly after the u. S. Reneged on a nuclear deal struck by the Obama Administration iran in may and partial withdrawal from the deal and said it would grow its stockpile of weapons grade uranium at a Un Security Council meeting germany spoke for many when it fears that the saber rattling could escalate into war friends germany and the United Kingdom are gravely concerned by the increased tensions in the gulf that were further heightening to have to the u. S. Drone by iran on the 20th of june these developments risk miscalculation and conflict we call for deescalation and dialogue with respect for international. But with both the u. S. And iran unwilling to back down such calls are likely to go on answered. Professor and the stats from the developed of governments of the essex and United Kingdom welcome to you how effective are these personal sanctions against irans leadership likely to be does there have millions stashed away. This is not likely to be effective at all i mean its really more of a symbolic gesture and i think its actually going to backfire because this is really going to galvanize the iranians together even further in their commitment that in their perception the u. S. Is imperialistic aggressive and arrogant the Supreme Leader is obviously one of the most important symbols in iran and so this is really going to anger iranians even more and so what i appreciate we can speculate but what would a backfiring look like well i think what we see what iran has been doing when its corner it tends to take on morris it tends to become bolder it tends to sow chaos in the region this should this could come in the form of sabotaging some of these vessels that they have been accused of sabotaging are continuing to support some of the proxy actors that they have done with has the law and also with the who these allegedly in yemen and so what we see when iran is given some sort of chance to cooperate with the 2015 deal they felt that in this particular instance it had been complying now you see the u. S. Is renamed and this agreement so they feel that they are backed into a corner and that they really have no other chance but to continue some of the things and activities that they have been getting getting in the news for recently and so if the if the stick doesnt work a while and work out what are there any carrots available for iran. Well the carrot available was the one that everybody had signed in 2015 the Big Nuclear Deal and this is where the u. S. A huge mistake they trump decided to do this because he didnt like the obama policy he didnt get specific reasons and there were no its instances that iran was not complying the u. S. Is going to need to engage in face saving diplomacy which i dont think its going to do you do an entire you turn and try to come back to the Iran Nuclear Deal and so that the Bigger Picture the United States says this is about containing Irans Nuclear ambitions do you believe that or do you believe the that they are actually looking for wholesale regime change theyre looking for also regime change if you look at the hocks i think trump isnt really sure how he feels one day he wants to make sure im great again the next day he says he wants to destroy iran but more recently he sort of sounded a little bit different about the way he felt about iran they just wanted to get them to commit to a better deal in terms of their Nuclear Weapons but the hawks in the Administration Like john bolton have wanted regime change and theyve wanted regime change for several decades now and that seems to be with they were aiming at trying to green iran to its knees so that regime regime change might happen but as we see for many many decades of saying sions nothing has really brought iran to its knees yet good talking to thank you professor natasha lynn step from the university of essex in the United Kingdom thank you for having. Now lets take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world malaysia has closed nearly 500 schools and kindergartens in the Southern States of johor until thursday after dozens of people were hospitalized with breathing difficulties symptoms suggest they suggest they inhaled the toxic fumes possibly from industrial waste yes the 2nd such incident to hit the country this year.

Stuff also broken out between members of georgias opposition and ruling parties during a parliamentary session it came after lawmakers from the ruling Georgian Dream party refused to discuss calls of the countrys interior minister to step down the minister has been blamed for the violent dispersal of protesters last week. 2 balkan states North Macedonia and albania hoping to become the newest members of the European Union with talks about their possible accession due later this year german president. Hosted his macedonian counterparts had a rough week for talks on the issue here in berlin e. U. Members had been due to start accession talks with North Macedonia and me earlier this year but european leaders postponed the decision until october no official reason has been given but members of the french delegation said in you need to get his own house in order before accepting any new members d. W. That led to herat has been speaking with the president petr off she asked him what role he hoped his country could play in the e. U. 1st of all we would like to be in the European Union for our future. So we are a small country with a bit of poor resources and certainly we can all be was being can do utopian union we can all be the key stakeholder that bobby would like to go to that process of europeanization and theres the reason why we need the socalled external evaluator from brussels went to all of these dirty 5 chapters in order to better the lives of all us citizens and to have most institutions that we have at the moment but theres been a stumbling block to say the least of course some e. U. Member states that most notably france germany and the netherlands have said back off a little bit because we need some more time in october well let you know do you expect them to give you the green light or to hold off talks on a session we expect 100 percent that theyre going to be given a green light you know why because at the moment theres not any single government of the e. U. Member states saying that north muscling it doesnt deserve to start and to open these negotiations talks so thats 100 percent sure weve got assurances by our friends in the germany we have a clear assurances by france and we have clear and so to say by holand and then not a few of the countries which have some kind of remarks last year when you look union got to that conclusion to have no muss and when you are going to be decided next june of the deal with issues of closed so we are quite sure that september. Will taken that decision and you will immediately after that in brussels all humans days well vote for opening the negotiations because what im wondering though is like everything in life timing is everything the countries which join the bloc back in 20042007 they are at loggerheads some of them with the European Commission to do with rule of law to do with not effectively fighting corruption is that making the challenge for North Macedonia so much more difficult you know we would like to be the collateral damages of some eventual pas the best performances being in the European Union if they not performed well the south of those countries what we are asking for from. European union fests judge us on individual merits you asked for this we delivered last june you have asked for a few of the many preconditions we have delivered including the famous and the historic i was impressed by the so please judge us on our individual achievements in the meantime so i can agree that some of the newcomers in the European Union in the buzz that he has not performed quite well but thats up to these countries you cannot judge north must vania together with 510. 00 other countries including our direct neighbors just judge us as a set on our individual achievements and thats all we are asking for mr president feel that North Macedonia is not getting a fair shake by the. Us is that is the feeling among our people and we think that that should be amended somehow in the months to come because we have been promised north must and will be any on the last e. U. Summit in sofia as a clear sentence in the final communique from that summit saying that north and albany are going to get that from the opening negotiations in june 2000 we are again postponed was good in all of that that that is only a technical postponement but believe me i have difficulties and many other people around the big knowledge currently in power in skopje to explain to the come the people that it is really only a technical post on it. If you dont get the green wire october what with that mean for your government from out on the island undermining studious on the money of the trade up in forces or your old files are going to be put in the corner im not speaking of old who is going to be the winner of the next Parliament Elections im a devoted beginning of my term as the president of the country so i can put aside that political ambitions at least for a while but its very important for the region as a whole is if you like finally brussels to send a positive signal to the whole division because whenever each country of the west will complete being for so long sidelined by europeans and getting a positive message that that is a good positive message for the region as a whole so what we are waiting for is give us the chess to prove ourselves to these very long and theres thinnest possible europeanization we are not esky of for the full fledged membership we asking for the factions to start that very long process i said and thats not too much i think to ask from the europeans in conclusion mr president now it just so happens that in october that date coincides with the United Kingdom scheduling schedule is to leave the e. U. London has been of course an ally when it comes to a large amount of the European Union how much has them leaving the bloc hurt your bid we would like to see you staying huge opinion if you like if you ask me and the people around me and the old people in most of them because we know that it has been one of the most dynamic power behind the little bit behind european integration but even then leaving i think that we still have enough of you to files in brussels including the people from the complete political elite in germany so we still called them them and we know that done a lot for gold the best of both us i thank you so much for joining us steve president of North Macedonia. Still to come a dramatic match up the womens world cup sees the United States squeeze past but reigning champions suddenly look like they cant be beaten even after 4 consecutive wins. A saw on the right 1st here in germany charges have been brought against 8 members of an alleged extreme right Wing Terror Group called revolution cabinets accused of forming an Illegal Organization and set of plans deadly attacks german media reports say the alleged terrorists hopes to make the attacks look as though theyre being carried out by the extreme left. Christian cage the alleged ringleader of the revolution cam thats protest movement he and 7 others stand accused of planning Violent Attacks in berlin on german Unification Day last year. They allegedly planned the details through an encrypted online chat the group is also accused of raising funds and making a list of weapons they plan to acquire but when their homes were searched no weapons were found. According to media reports members admitted to interrogators that they planned to do more than fire warning shots they were planning to murder. German authorities warn that extreme right wing groups are gaining new momentum. Since the attacks are very simplistic theres no complex planning behind whats happening you know a long term concept they often just shoot from the hip. The group took its name from last years demonstrations encampments after a deadly knife attack involving immigrants right wing extremists rioted and the police partially lost control of the situation and. The Political Correspondent Thomas Sparrow welcome thomas how dangerous was described. Phil we heard some of the details on that report this is a group thats being described as a potential far right Terror Organization cues of getting together in september 2018 to plan and carry out attacks in particular one in berlin and Germanys National day the 3rd of october so you can judge just from that how serious is might have been when we consider far right extremism in germany in particular a violent far right extremism in germany this is only one potential group in fact figures that were released earlier this year pointed to the fact that they might make be 12700. 00 potentially violent far right radicals in germany so this group that has been charged is only a small fraction of what is becoming a very big problem in germany we heard in the report the German Federal office for the protection of the constitution saying that there is this new momentum behind right wing violence and germanys Domestic Intelligence agency has detailed why it believes that there is a new momentum in violence in germany obviously off the situation in came in it that we just saw but theyre speaking in particular of 3 issues the fact that these groups whether theyre big or small can build networks in particularly on line the spread of fake news and fake propaganda as well as something that worries German Authorities and a 3rd element is that all that can also end up in street violence so those are elements that German Authorities consider to be part of this new momentum and thats why theyve been asking for example to have more powers to investigate these groups online Something Else that has been mentioned is that there should be more cooperation between state and federal authorities to try precisely and deal with these threats the regional c. D. U. Politician well to look was murdered on the 2nd of june he appears to have been shot by right wing extremists any parallels. German authorities for a long time now have been accused of underestimating threats posed by the riot or downplaying or not taking those threats seriously and that was certainly the case with the death of. And it will increase debate here in germany as to how the authorities should deal with that and this particular case that were talking about today could also increase that debate in germany thats at least the 1st parallel that i can see between these 2 cases Legal Correspondent tom aspera thank you.
