The iconic rock formations are barely visible in the haze. Its really disappointing looking forward to seeing if you always want to see the Blue Mountains such a shame when we. All know its like this. But that problem is small compared to the challenge firefighters in New South Wales are set to face at the weekend after a brief spite securing a few days of damper weather over christmas temperatures are again expected to soar bringing new risks. Thats going to bring not just the heat of the service were going to see the temperatures up into the larger mid fortys across a lot of areas but its going to bring a very draw as well so thats going to elevate far by inches and we know the winds are going to start turning around to the west in the northwest which is war so much work is going going on over this last week while conditions are more more out. Some 70 fires are burning near sydney New South Wales more than 1000 firefighters and now the military action across the state trying to contain the fires and prevent them from reaching more inhabited areas. Where just putting it back in time and law in detroit prevent the fallout from getting towards coastal villages already more than 850 homes have been raised in New South Wales. Authorities are also working to protect infrastructure surrounding a vital dam west of sydney that provides water to around 4000000 people in the city but which could be at risk if the fires spread. Over more a journalist Roger Maynard joins us now from sydney so roger whorish hearing more extreme heat windy conditions are in the forecast in the coming days in australia what is that going to mean for firefighting efforts. Well thats the 64000 dollar question interestingly the far or it was of no use the word catastrophic conditions as they did last week so its just possible that these new conditions may not be as bad this time around that the fires may not be quite so extensive but just in case they are far crews around australia and along the eastern seaboard pulling out all the stops to try to make sure they can cope with any new fires there are building new containment lines theyre doing a lot of back burning in a bid to make sure that the they can at least keep a handle on the far as if they get out of control again over the next couple of days its the country areas that are really suffering in the moment the fires are still burning in the Blue Mountains west of sydney and also to the south in sydney as well many firefighters here and hardly had a day off since christmas and many have not spent any time with the founder says christmas during a so far its getting increasingly exhausted and others who are standing by and visit the are making sure that theyre ready just in case another potential crisis emerges when roger you yourself are in sydney etc its largest city fire around 5000000 people live there tell us how these bushfires are affecting daily life. Well not so bad in sydney at the moment which is enjoyed a couple of very very pleasant duis i must say blue skies and temperatures around the mid twentys or more but its to the west of sydney in the Blue Mountains area and south sydney too which is a really big which are really suffering not only the firefighters suffering but also because the people who live that interest in the mirror of the Blue Mountains admitted today that the crisis is really taking its toll on families he said the whole community was stressed because the fire season it started so early and shows no sign of ending not only are they looking of course with the daily threat to their homes but theyre also having to suffer from the smoke which is envelop much of New South Wales and that makes a big problem this for those suffering from the heart conditions and learn conditions so its very tense in the world the other point to make of course is that this is wholly time in australia this is the middle of Summer School was breaking out and people go to the beach to the coast and to the countryside the swimming in camping all that is a lot of those holders have now had to be put on hold because people fear getting caught up in the bushfires and the route it would leave for so at the moment people have to stand easy for the summer break and hope they can organise something in january right here maner it in sydney we thank you very much. Thank you well Climate Change is renewing the debate over whether to impose a speed limit on germanys world famous autobahn highway system and climate activists and new political leaders are pushing for a nationwide limit to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions but others say germanys road system is best left and changed.

But an uproar ensued after chancellor merkels Coalition Partner the social Democratic Party made a u. Turn the new party leader wants an overall speed limit of 130 Kilometers Per Hour the transport minister a conservative is against it we have far more outstanding tasks than raising up this highly emotional topic again and again for which there is no majority support. In october a parliamentary majority voted against a speed limit the issue has been debated in germany for decades. Lobbyists for motorists and the Auto Industry have always triumphed but their opponents have another argument climate protection a general speed limit would reduce c o 2 emissions thats part of the social democrats recommendation to the transport minister. That he could win a point this way just by doing something small and easily achievable for climate protection it would increase road safety improve traffic flow and wed be in line with all of europe and most countries in the world. The social democrats want to continue government discussions about a speed limit but for now more than 2 thirds of german highways will remain full speed ahead.

When the mossad. But un funded supplies to syria may stop entirely in the new year last week russia and china vetoed a u. N. Security Council Resolution that would have extended deliveries throughout 2020. The year is coming to an end and here were taking a look back at stories from our correspondents around the world that inspired us our next report takes us to south africa and efforts to protect the endangered african penguin. Creation visited conservationists working to save the penguins from extinction. One last chance to relax together before things start to get uncomfortable. An appointment with dr roberts is not something these penguins seem to be looking forward to so at the moment pretty doing is were just taking the penguins and making sure that theyre all ready for release so we each one has his own can cause this is medical records this one he had known as well so he was 70 percent oil and he was emaciated he was really underweight the conservationists take in sea birds in peril and try to prepare them to be released back into the wilds thousands of injured animals come here every year some will stay here forever as they would not so wife and their nature will habitats. But these birds might not be here in the long term. They are in danger of extinction its quite possible that one can go extinct in the future and weve had dramatic declines in train with numbers even between the concert last year and this year the numbers of dropped by about 2000 breeding pairs so we have less than 20000 breeding pairs thats here and you know. Police penguins 1st have to spend time in a small box but only briefly until they have fully recovered and are ready to return to the wiser this. In simons town one of the few remaining thing green colonies they are released. For the i. It went really well it was really nice to be able to go out so quickly they didnt get confused the crowd was very polite and not too noisy so that didnt scare the penguins and they were they went straight out in the direction they shouldve gone and really we can see them i think theres one head sticking out over there so now the threats that they face of the same as all the other wild penguins people need to think about the impacts of what theyre doing and how they can affect not only the thing ones but all of the sea life and other wildlife that song is in danger from human interaction. The message seems to have got through to the hundreds of people in the crowd over here we have a lot of folk musicians who are trying to save the oceans and animals and then obviously the penguins were being we have been put back in but theres a lot more we can do is you must do more to protect them because you see what is happening at sea this is not only seen as it used to be this last big problem however the biggest threats to the african pingree is the like a fish there are not enough and resent sardines in the oceans due to overfishing. And the worst Case Scenario of the last african green called in the will die out in 20 or 30 years but people here definitely want to prevent that from happening.
