Also coming up to 9 snow was skipping the summer a heat wave in the arctic as siberians hot under the collar everyone bought electric fans they were totally sold out here people had ice cream and cold drinks we arent prepared for these conditions in the clear new couple cars. To our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with a desperate president against his defiant nation it has been a week since the people in bella ruse went to the polls to elect a president incumbent Alexander Lukashenko says he won by a landslide fair and square but many voters do not believe him they say the vote was rigged on sunday more than 100000 people gathered in minsk demanding a new election 2 people have died in clashes with police in just the last week but there are reports of officers refusing to follow orders rejecting any further crackdown on Peaceful Protesters even his base is turning against him today at a state run factory the president was heckled and boot and there are other signs that the president s twentys. 6 years in power may be nearing their end on sunday and said russian president Vladimir Putin had offered help but so far the kremlin has played down any promises and the oppositions president ial candidate the woman who fled dello russo after the election last week she says tonight that she is willing to come home to lead an interim government we have more tonight beginning in this report. The red and white flag of the opposition has been raised once more on the streets of minsk this time by the workers of bell averse who gathered outside factories. Go away they chanted at president Alexander Lukashenko who would come to win them over the heckling continued and the president walked off the stage into the crowd in an exchange with a worker. Who said new elections were possible but only after the country holds a referendum. To go to the president should not make decisions as a result of pressure both make the president must find a compromise exactly thats how. We need to approve a new constitution so the opposition wont be against it it needs to be approved in a referendum because our previous constitution was approved in a referendum and based on the new constitution and if you want it we will show you elections for the palm and presidency and local government bodies. The protests being fuelled by new promises from the exiled opposition leader. Im prepared to take responsibility and act as the nations leader cheering this period so the country settles down and gets back to normality so that we can release all Political Prisoners and prepare a Legal Framework in conditions to hold. Another round of president ial elections in the shortest time possible. Will. Take enough scale made her address from lithuania a day off to calling for the biggest protests in belarus yes. As the internal pressure grows so does International Concern the e. U. Has announced it will hold an emergency summit about bellerose on wednesday because it will start an humble and short we have already agreed on sanctions against the responsible for these Human Rights Violations how the sanctions will be designed and whether further restrictive measures will be taken depend on the future behavior of the bell aris you know already. Until then protests is sure no signs of relenting. Or more tonight i want to bring in miriam cause mel shes a Senior Expert on Eastern Europe at germanys barrels meant foundation miriam its good to have you on the day based on what we have seen in the last week would you say that Alexander Lukashenko stays as president of della reese arnelle number. Yes definitely. President. Now number i would have been more hesitant a week ago but the pressure from what used to be his own to the state sector we work us mention to report and from this decentralized demonstrations and strikes all over the country even though im like the institutions like state t. V. Its clear. What about the russian factor here we know that russia has intervened in other republics before georgia in 2000 ukraine and 24 g. Its impossible to rule out a Russian Military intervention but would you agree that the chances of Vladimir Putin sending in his troops to prop up. Or anemic at best. Well it would in my view not the advantages if president putin sent in troops because that would completely destroy the otherwise good relations sense have other feelings the good feelings they have talked to russians overwhelmingly however the situation is not very pleasant for cuttin us where he has demonstrations to hand in russia and he is not interested in developing as a more democratic democratic country because that undermines this argument that the slavic nation needs to not talk crissy to be a successful state so i wouldnt exclude it i do not think it would be an open intervention it would be but the threats have been there also by the question call was mentioned the collective Security Treaty Organization that and russia popped off and he has mentioned the troops the messman to at the western borders of fellows which of course its not taking place but they are keeping that option open and we know that the European Union plans to hold an emergency summit on wednesday to discuss. What role does europe have here i mean is this an opportunity to a full closure. I wouldnt speak about pulling but others closer to europe because the belo who sense do not want to be a geo political spectrum or they just want a better life with their civic rights being taken seriously and to Human Rights Violations however i would expect that the European Union makes it very clear. That any at intervention would be met with economic sanctions that do it because at present the situation still is very dangerous and here the European Union should be very clear. We know that the president s of lithuania poland latvia and estonia have sent a letter to be offering cooperation if 3 demands are met they want to see an end of the use of force against protesters they want detain protesters to be released and they want to see bellerose organize a National Reconciliation roundtable what leverage do these countries have right now with. Well particularly lithuania has longstanding relations and they have managed to do it policy also on the one hand supporting activists misdefine australia is currently in the crania but also having economic relationships that simply gives them knowledge and context however you are right a singular country is their power is limited however they could. Team up with the always seem to need. Currently we have the balian chair we will have sweden next year as of next year and i think together with the oas. They could support such a national we consider taber that has actually been already started to be organized by the band of recent opposition and we also got reports today that all of the protesters who have been arrested in the last week and detained that they have been released do you see that as proof that the pressure coming from its neighbors is working and. Yes and no. This is a huge success however there is information that between 70 and 100 people have gone missing and this is another thing that the new coach demands this summit to. Immediately no learn about the whereabouts off disputed. Yeah thats a very good point because people remain missing tonight. Your expert on Eastern Europe with germanys barrels mende de janeiro we push it to time in your insights tonight thank you youre very welcome. Well known to a siberian summer temperatures across the arctic have been increasing at a rate that is about twice the global average causing a record heat wave in siberia this year a small remote town above the Arctic Circle in the russian region of. Salt temperatures that were nearly get this 20 Degrees Higher than average science is now fear that the heat is causing the permafrost athol spelling catastrophe for both the environment and for the people who live here. Emily short reports tonight from very young ski. You can see the heat shimmer even now at the end of summer a few weeks ago they had set a new record 38 degrees celsius thats the highest temperature ever recorded within the Arctic Circle people here are usually proud of a different dick stream their town is one of 2 places that claim to be the coldest on earth. Were used to the cold people here cant handle that sort of heat everyone bought electric fans they were totally sold out here people had ice cream and cold drinks we arent prepared for these conditions. We swam and worked it was fine even in the winter when its minus 60 degrees centigrade here we eat ice cream so working when it was 38 degrees wasnt a problem either with me i have this question of. The climate is changing every year and the ice is slowly melting people say the winters have gotten a bit warmer and the summer has moved by a whole month its longer now. With the with the. The buildings in very high you are on stilts designed to drive down into the permafrost and give them a solid base the pillars also keep the houses raised so they dont melt the ground underneath but rising temperatures could threaten the very foundations of this town. Because the permafrost is melting houses here could collapse because theyre built on pillars our Public Utilities are built on supports which have their foundations in the ground if they move there could be accidents and there will be all sorts of problems of Global Warming intense allies who she. Wants. To meet with. Russias arctic has already felt the effects of unstable foundations in late may a fuel reserves. Our new year no real school collapsed and 21000. 00 tonnes of diesel spilled into surrounding rivers in subsoil the russian Metals Company in charge said the thawing permafrost was to blame scientists hope the environmental catastrophe and no real thing will be a wake up call for off the already its. The one. That you might until this happened no one paid attention to the issue of permafrost the 1st thing that contributes to that thought is the climate and the summer temperatures to some of summer temperatures here in Central Europe so in the taiga forest has increased by 10 to 12 percent since the year 2002 station of. This years summer may have been a novelty for people in that high but it could spell an unstable future for russias arctic. And the arctic is not the only place affected by rising temperatures thousands of miles away in californias death valley researchers have just recorded the highest global temperature in over a century the u. S. Weather service confirmed the record heat of 54. 00 degrees celsius thats a 130. 00 degrees fahrenheit on sunday afternoon now if that record is confirmed in a formal review it will be the hottest temperature witnessed on our planets surface since the year 1913. All right lets bring in correspondent Jason Campbell donia now he is in los angeles hes bureau chief for n. B. C. News radio and i heart media its good to see you again jason you know we wanted to talk with you tonight because of the extreme weather that were seeing in california so lets start with the summer heat do they even make air conditioners Strong Enough to handle the heat in death valley. Not really i mean other than 30 dental mill your shoes right off luckily not much lives up there including you know desert rats and Everything Else is really not much in death valley 3 there always are people who live you know on the outer lying areas of death valley and it was about a 20 out there over the weekend and thats thats pretty hot. And i was checking the weather for death valley the humidity there was only about 7 percent on sunday so thats a very dry heat and i guess meteorologist have to advise people to do certain things if theyre going to cope with that kind. Of heat and dry heat i mean what theyve been telling people to do drink lots of water thats number one drink as much water as you can make sure you dont leave your kids or your pets inside the car because if its if its a 130 degrees outside and youre looking at pushing 200 degrees on the inside of a car and that that will likely lead to death if you leave pets theyre asking people to check on the elderly elderly neighbors how exceedingly members make sure that theyre staying cool as much as possible. And really the biggest warning out there is just stay out of the sun its difficult but if you can stay out of the sun either have at you know white brim or a stay indoors mainly thats probably the best piece of advice and if youre going to stay indoors obviously youre going to have your air conditioning on and theres so much air conditioning being used right now we understand that its a little too much for the power grid in california. Yeah where we have whats called rolling blackouts happening across the state and its crazy you know youre at home everybodys at home due to the pent demick everybodys working from home and you know with years with your kids doing the Distance Learning thing online and all the sudden your power gets cut for a couple of hours 2 the governor just came out and said it a we want to know why and has launched an investigation into figuring out why there hasnt been enough power to like you said our all these air conditioners. Throughout heat wave which has gone on about 4 days now maybe 5 but its going to last another 4 or 5 days so the power here is just getting sucked up quickly. But yeah its crazy to think that in a state like california i think weve got like that i think where the 5th biggest economy in the world and enough power to power a few air conditioners thats that the governor says that he wants to get debt to the bottom of that you know we reported on that several times about these rolling Power Outages in california lets talk about the wildfires in Northern California on to saturdays the Weather Service posted an unusual warning about possible fire induced tornadoes known as fire nago did you hear about that. Oh absolutely and are they spectacular what i mean it right its the extreme he makes with swirling winds and what happens is that those wits they start to pick up embers and basically its white in the air on fire as the wind swirls and i mean ive seen im not personally but ive seen pictures of them that are like a 100 feet tall. And they are extremely estate move very very rapidly and they just true through whatever is in front of it whether it be vegetation or you know while forest anything and itll just chew right through it its an edible youre looking at some images right now of these fire natives and youre right i mean theres spectacular to look at we understand there may have been 5 of these over the weekend in california i mean that must be a nightmare for firefighters are they even trained to deal with this kind of threat when theyre in of fighting of wildfire. Absolutely its get out of the way get out of the way because theyre too unpredictable its too dangerous to even try to you know douse those flames at all if theyre really really dangerous so the fire crews basically take cover when they start to see swirling winds in the area and in some cases here in Southern CaliforniaLos Angeles CountyFire Department will keep track of the winds in the area that theyre fighting a wildfire and if those winds start to shift they move those firefighters out of that area yeah i mean i guess you dont want to be one of those storm trackers or storm followers when were talking about a fire nato Jason Campbell to come to you a Los Angeles Bureau chief for n. B. C. News radio and i heart media jason always good to talk with you we appreciate the latest and to everybody in california stay safe you too thank you so much.
