Will say coming up on the show. And the Central African republic people position says it rejects the outcome of the constitutional referendum, allowing the president to extend his time in office. And jerry pushes for a diplomatic solution to the crisis and neighboring media. But a government Spokesman Says using force to restore democracy is still on the table, [000 00 00;00] the man who keeps mccain and thank you for being with us. So the idea is cleaning off off to floss, flooding, ravage the Alpine Country and plain 6 lives. The chief left on the line is visiting slovenia today to office a pause and see the devastation for himself. Many european nations, including germany, have sent specialists and emergency equipment to help sylvania with the clean up operation. The dont use rosie, but chart traveled to the region to meet some of those hottest hit by whats being described as levin use was to natural dissolves, to ever of the after the deluge dirt, debris and sludge coach, this will be in town of turn, the not quarters can local carpenter benedicts protection. Nick is trying to save whats left of his family home. Them for that i was, im always there right now. Were living the day today that we dont know whats going to happen and ill let them know. I dont there think about the future man and somehow if you take those insight, his tools are ruined and he doesnt know how or when hell work again. So that they all say, all of this set up for those set up on the walter came all the way up to here. It was all over the mountain. Now we have the help of the firefighters. Theyre really doing an amazing job on them, but theyre not the only ones upstairs. The clean up continues. Neighbors drain mode from each others homes with soldiers drafted in to be up for relief efforts. Near the state of florida. We are happy, we can help people and do you t. Thats all that matters. And or we can do such a task ahead is massive because bridges have collapse and roads has been damaged. Fresh walter and leading efficiency, the leading all of this down. Its really and thats why the small country has called on other nations for help. Germany is sending prefabricated bridges. Fronts has offered machinery and croatia is sending trucks. The president tells us thats only slain. I am happy that we are part of European Union and youd opinion and there are a lot of funds. So really i cannot get it. You know what we do. We do not have enough money to repair all the damage. We are aware of that fact we do have courageous people hardworking people and we hope on solidarity. I know that all the damages could not be and will not be paid. But civilians are stubborn and nation, you know, and, and, and, and we are used to start from scratch the 0 wish the sun shining overtures and the locals dont fear more. Flash floods for no thoughts of ortiz are still keeping watch because up in the hills, the risk of land flights remains short while ago i spoke with the deputies, rosie, but charlotte, who filed that report, showing those extraordinary images of the devastation. She gave us an update on house levin is released, assets are going extraordinary. And these will, this massive cleanup is very much underway here behind me. Theres some volunteer firefighters that have traveled from the sides of the country to try and help with this flood hit region to try and, you know, help local businesses and people to start thinking about how to rebuild box. The challenge remains enormous because several times in the village is particularly in the north, remain cuts off. We saw for example, and not report the only way we could reach that time was with a military escort along very winding and damage roads. We saw on the side collapse bridges dont power lines and weve been told that sizes of people, there are still without access to running walter and the army told us that may be the case for up to 2 weeks, more notes. The efforts are very much underway. Weve seen people working right in the clock. Theres certainly no shortage of goodwill or willingness to act. But it looks like the task ahead really is enormous. Weve been told, 1st of all that it may be 500000000 years worth of damage without figure no government estimates or going into the billions. Okay, so were talking big money here and we know that was the left on the line that you Commission President is in slovenia. Today was helpless. She liked me to be offering a silvia is a small country, youre writing to 1000000 people and thats why its ask neighbors for help is made a very clear coal for support activating the use Civil Protection mechanism. And the support already has been on the way we know, for example, a german heavy cargo helicopter has arrived and your speed expert team sent from nearby nations to try and before the efforts here and i are sort of underline, has been herself in one of those floods rog, ravaged regency trouble by helicopter, and his back in this will be in capital. She says she is here to bring a message of more support and i think civilians will be interested to hear about those immediate efforts. But also in the longer term when it comes to reconstruction, particularly for businesses, i mean this one behind me some sort of a mechanical institution where you can see that the machinery is just destroyed. And thats what weve heard also from locals. Is there concerned longer term about jobs, about jobs in these northern regions . In particular, one mayor was really almost in tears. Why do you said he just doesnt know how that will . How does reconstruction efforts could go down the line . Because the jobs in hays region, he said, are really dying to factories in factories circle, surface level machinery, which has not been destroyed in these spots. So people thinking longer term, but many of them still have to say thing. Theyre really just living day to day. They cant imagine what comes next, which brings me nicely onto my next question, but let me give them the level of destruction this libyans are having to deal with. What is it that people need most gently right now . Well there are people on the streets trying to help. There is no shortage at the sight of people willing to get their boots on to bring walter, both those to bring space and to get to work. But with that level of goodwill comes other problems. And weve heard, for example, Government Agencies warning that people who are vulnerable to pregnant women or children should be careful with cleaning up because of the risk of infectious disease. So there are so that he is willing to help, but of course, what they say they needs more is expert. So were that we will likely see more expert teams coming in from other countries to help out here until the really, the, the, the serious problem which is of course trying to reconstruct reaches. Because people that are cut off still from Drinking Water from the Running Water acts as well. That of course what weve been told is a priority, especially for local authorities trying to help people in these most direst conditions or is the best shot in slovenia. Thank you. So much for that and south west and europe. Hundreds of fi sizes of baffling a wild fight in portugal that has been burning for days. The i very independent. See there is in the grips of its 3rd heat wave, the c, a temperatures of top 40 degree celsius across portugal, and also in neighboring spain. 5 days on this fun and southern portugal is still binding its own ready tone through 10000 hectors land. Despite the best efforts of more than a 1005. 00 fighters, the blaze has grown so large its visible from space as it spreads towards the popular l. Golf tourist region and 20 villages and mold. In 1400 people threaten by the flames have been false to evacuate, already followed. It was horrible. That was fine. Every when we had to fend for ourselves, nobody was said to help us. But lucky godfrey friends who came forth is chosen because the arrows are the portuguese authorities have designated more than a 100 municipalities at the maximum level of wildfire. Risk of to days of high temperatures across the boulder in spain, firefighters are also dealing with a wild fight in the Western Region of x ray, my dora locals here a while worried about the loss of ancient woodland and what they werent. Were worried and upset because we have an enormous mass of forest and teen recall golds and we feel very sad, for example, the offending area. You know, families helping people all across spain have been dealing with punishing conditions with 45 degree heat in the Southern City of cordova. And similar hides across waves of the country authorities urging people to stay in doors to protect the health sciences. Say Climate Change is helping push temperatures to new extremes with july confirmed as the planets hottest month on record a lot and we already know the summers are getting hotter and hotter with Climate Change. So well, well have to prepare and train ourselves to cope with them as well as possibly with this. I mean, for the sake of being ready grappling with reco temperatures, increasing wildfires and historic water shortages. Unfortunately for portugal in spain, the future doesnt look much bright to the whole Iberian Peninsula is set to be one of the european regions hit hardest by Climate Change. The temperature set to rise even further in spain. In the coming days, i l. C. W. s young phillip, charlotte says in seville housing for looking back, so its really extreme at the moment. We are in the fossil heat waves this. Yeah. Already today, temperatures seems to be dropped a little bit to 3637 degrees and some people are actually, theyd dare to come outside out of that.

They put the air Conditioning Systems to maximum power or they, they, they leave the city in search of, of who that place is usually along the coastline vibes.

Well, a tap water is called for the parts of the day and of cause the wildfires all around so spain into neighboring parts of our route. Thousands of people have to be evacuated at the moment. Can you tell us what the government is doing . So tries to help people cope with this level of extreme heat that certainly not doing enough thousands of people, especially a lot of people have died this year already due to the heat and still and a lot of old peoples homes and a lot of groups that are still not no air conditioning assistance in place. And that is also a criticism regarding regional governments because its not only the national government, its also regional governments that are in charge. So they try to provide Fund Emergency health. They distribute bottles of water to people that have to work outside in the heat and they bring what attracts to places that are in a state of emergency. But besides those sorts of measures, political discussions are starting to grow. If the large scale farming the industrial farming here in states might have to change also because this is the major watch i consume at the moment. All right, dw is young incentive sites for forcing that from seville. Thank you so much and try and stay cool.

Native american said cold for the designation, which was opposed by some republicans and by uranium mine is a now one of germanys biggest alms manufacturer is, has consent. The purchase of 50 left one tanks from a belgian company, the tanks all old and will now be refer bishop in germany. They are expected to be sent to ukraine to strength and supplies out the front line. A dummy face criticism early in the war between you crate and brush. Thats a being too slow in its supply of items to ukraine. But, but it has since ramped up, it supports supplying the 1st of these left at the time. Its a bottle tends to ukraine in march. This year. Has got more on this from the w correspondent, judy at south lead you to do. We know if the government has now confirmed the purchase of these tanks. Well, what weve heard this morning is that of the ours manufacturer alignment. Todd confirmed this purchase after some articles appeared on some broad sheets here in germany, but also abroad and assignment todd has confirmed the purchase of uh 50 uh tanks from a belgian company. These tanks will then be refurbished in germany and are meant to be delivered to ukraine. Now these tanks were previously part of the belgian militarys weapon stock until they were the commissioned in 2014 and then bought by the company that been sold them further to find baton. And im is on, has said that the tanks are being paid for by the German Government in its efforts to assist and support ukraine with weapons. What weve heard from the German Government so far is that they dont confirm their direct involvement in this specific deal. But they have said that they do have an ongoing contract with assignment time to deliver weapons to ukraine. Okay, so these tanks now need to be refurbished. I mean, do we know when we can expect to see these tanks in use yet as well . We know that the tanks are really in quite a bad shape. They have not been used for many years, so there is going to be a lot of work necessary to make them operational. We know that some of them are in such bad shape, but they can only be used for parts. Thats why out of the 50 things that have been purchased, it is likely that only 30 are then going to be delivered to ukraine and weve heard from the company and the owner of the company that sold these tanks to assignments has that he expects them to be operational on the field within 6 months, but this timeline has not been confirmed by assignments on itself, so we dont really know how long it will take for the refer measurements. Now these tanks are quite old. The leopard one is the older version of the leper to tank, which is currently in use by the german army for example. And most of the leopard, one things have been the commissioned by the countries whose armies had been using them in the past. You dont use juliets identity following that story for i think so much now, opposition . Groups in the Central African republic have rejected a recent referendum that approved a new constitution.

About political leaders put aside the differences to form a block. Yeah. Aimed to defend the constitution.

By joining uh, the, the process, which is the legal we would have given it a given a legitimacy to a legal process.
