00:00
As Greece continues to battle its wildfires, explosions were heard at the Volos military
00:04
air base, while some tourists and locals remain on the island of Rhodes.
00:11
Kiev calls for more air defense systems as fierce fighting rages on in southern Ukraine,
00:16
including the port city of Odessa.
00:21
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is in Washington to meet with U.S. President Joe
00:25
Biden as part of her first visit to the U.S. as head of state.
00:31
Former U.S. President Donald Trump faces fresh charges in the classified documents case,
00:35
adding to his legal woes.
00:47
As forest fires continue to ravage Greece, several loud explosions were heard at the
00:51
Volos Air Force Base on Thursday evening after the flames reached the building housing weapons.
00:57
The blast spread fear among local residents and shattered several window panes.
01:02
No injuries were reported as surrounding villages were evacuated and all military personnel
01:07
were relocated before the blaze reached their weapons depot.
01:11
Meanwhile, on the island of Rhodes, some tourists and locals remain, despite the declaration
01:16
of the state of emergency and the subsequent evacuation of 20,000 people.
01:21
Local businesses are dependent on the busy summer season for income, and a complete evacuation
01:26
could spell economic disaster for them.
01:29
Economically, no family in Kiotari area is going to survive the winter.
01:36
It's heavy because nothing's open.
01:38
You can't open.
01:39
What are you going to open to locals?
01:40
They don't go to dinner every day.
01:42
No one goes to dinner every day.
01:45
You save, you work hard in the summertime.
01:48
You work very hard.
01:49
You work 14 hours a day, even more.
01:53
Meanwhile, firefighters say as many as 10 fires have been contained around Rhodes.
02:00
So far this summer, 124 fires were reported across the country, with thousands more declared
02:06
across the European continent.
02:12
July 2023 is set to be a record breaker as the hottest month on record, possibly the
02:18
warmest in human history.
02:20
A few of the highs that have been set this month, we had 52.9 degrees Celsius in China,
02:27
48.2 degrees Celsius in Sardinia, 39.6 degrees at night in Algeria, and sea temperatures
02:35
of 37.2 degrees in Florida.
02:38
Now we have been building up to this for some time.
02:42
If we have a look at this graphic, then the black line shows daily global surface temperatures
02:47
this year since January, and it's above average all year, building up to the peaks that you
02:53
see there in July.
02:55
Now this new all-time record is actually the culmination of the heat waves we've seen on
03:00
land and also in the oceans.
03:02
Here's Samantha Burgess from the Copernicus Climate Change Service.
03:05
So all of this additional warm air and warm surface water is kind of feeding back on each
03:13
other, so we're seeing record temperatures warmer than we've ever seen before.
03:18
You may have heard that 2023 will be warmer because the El Nino phenomenon is back in
03:24
the Pacific, part of a natural cycle on our planet.
03:27
But scientists say it's actually too early for that.
03:31
It's not El Nino yet, so the expectation is that with El Nino developing right now, we
03:38
will get warmer temperatures to come.
03:41
And the expectation is that the temperatures for 2024 may be even warmer still.
03:46
Indeed, the seasonal forecast for the rest of the year does show continued above average
03:52
temperatures over land.
03:54
So what can we do?
03:55
Well, world leaders will have to act quickly at the G20 and COP28 summits in order to slash
04:02
emissions of CO2 and methane into the atmosphere as soon as possible.
04:06
Doing so will slow down the rate of warming, but there's no instant remedy.
04:13
The heat and the weather extremes that we have been experiencing are with us for decades
04:17
to come.
04:21
A visit to one of Ukraine's historic cathedrals damaged by a series of Russian airstrikes
04:27
on the southern city of Odessa.
04:29
Moscow has pounded the city, which houses Ukraine's main ports, since it withdrew from
04:33
a critical deal that previously allowed Kiev to export its grains despite the war.
04:38
Ukraine is now seeking more air defense systems to better protect the southern parts of the
04:41
country.
04:42
I heard the announcement about the liquidation of the consequences of the Russian strikes
04:47
on Odessa and the region, and here, at the St. Perebrozhensky church that the Russians
04:52
tried to destroy, I feel that our people, our spirit is still stronger, stronger than
04:59
Russian terror.
05:01
Meanwhile, fierce fighting continues on multiple points along the over 1,000-kilometer front
05:07
line.
05:08
This village in the Kilmanetsky region was struck twice this week, damaging a local cemetery.
05:15
This video released by Ukrainian forces reportedly shows the moments its troops took control
05:20
of a Russian position near the embattled city of Bakhmut, capturing supplies, including
05:25
a machine gun.
05:27
But while Ukraine has claimed some advances, such as the reclaiming control of a village,
05:32
Moscow has praised its troops for repelling attacks in the southeastern Zaporizhia region,
05:38
and Russia's Ministry of Defense claims it resisted nine attacks by Ukrainian forces
05:42
in the Donetsk region.
05:43
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is in Washington as part of her first visit to
05:51
the U.S. as head of state.
05:54
She met with U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday at the White House to discuss global trade
05:58
in China.
05:59
The talks also focused on international aid to Ukraine.
06:03
Both leaders highlighted their commitment to supporting Kiev and defending their economic
06:07
interests.
06:08
"The people of the United States are also standing strong with Ukraine and I compliment
06:13
you on your very strong support and defending against Russian atrocities and that's what
06:19
they are.
06:20
It's not just a war but they're Russia's committing atrocities."
06:25
"Competition from other nations that do not meet our standards in terms of worker protection,
06:31
safety, environmental protection undermine our companies and workers.
06:38
So a free trade without rules has shown its limits.
06:43
We must find the right balance between openness and the protection of our economy."
06:49
Her visit comes amid concerns from Washington over her far-right ideology, but her consistent
06:55
backing of Ukrainian sovereignty and advocating for a stronger NATO have managed to ease some
07:00
of the fears.
07:01
Former U.S. President Donald Trump faces three new charges in the case accusing him of mishandling
07:09
classified documents, including attempting to obstruct the investigation and the willful
07:14
retention of national defense information.
07:17
Prosecutors claim Trump asked his staff to delete surveillance footage at his Florida
07:20
Mar-a-Lago estate.
07:21
That has been vital to the investigation.
07:24
Trump's lawyers have dismissed the new charges as an alleged attempt by current U.S. President
07:28
Joe Biden to harass the 77-year-old, a head of the 2024 presidential race.
07:34
The new charges came the same day Trump said his lawyers met with Justice Department officials,
07:39
head of a separate expected indictment, over his alleged efforts to overturn the results
07:44
of the 2020 election.
07:50
Randy Meisner, a co-founding member of the hugely successful rock band The Eagles, has
07:55
died in Los Angeles aged 77 after a long illness.
08:00
Meisner added high harmonies to such favorites as "Take It Easy" and "The Best of My Love"
08:05
and stepped out front for the Waltz Time ballad "Take It to the Limit."
08:09
He was in the band when they released "Hotel California" in 1976, one of the most popular
08:14
songs in rock history, but left a year later to launch a successful solo career.
08:19
These two cubs are the first of a very rare tiger population, the Sumatran tiger, born
08:32
in a zoo in seven years.
08:35
San Diego Zoo released a video of the siblings, a male and a female, who were born earlier
08:39
this month.
08:40
There are fewer than 600 Sumatran tigers worldwide, including those in zoos, and the arrival of
08:49
the twin cubs is seen as a great success.
08:52
The mother will keep the cubs nearby for a few weeks before they will be allowed outside
08:56
for visitors to enjoy.
09:03
As the Women's World Cup enters its second week, gender issues in sports persist.
09:09
Despite progress in recognition and visibility of female athletes, wage inequality remains
09:14
a major challenge.
09:15
We are in huge wage inequalities.
09:20
The average salary of a WNBA player was 110 times less than that of a male NBA colleague.
09:28
We have a small overview of the inequalities.
09:31
From the players that we surveyed, which were 362 players across six continents across the
09:39
world who played in the World Cup qualification pathways for the World Cup 2023, there were
09:46
huge disparities within the wages that players received to compete for their national team.
09:52
29% of players were not paid at all for this competition.
09:57
And that meant that 66% of players had to take unpaid leave or vacation from another
10:03
form of occupation in order to compete in the World Cup qualifiers.
10:08
Wage inequalities in the world of sports are not limited to income.
10:12
Training conditions for female players also require improvements.
10:16
Female athletes say they've received hand-me-downs from the men's team.
10:19
We women often collect the tickets that stay with the boys.
10:23
All the equipment that stays with the boys and that is, for example, too big or too
10:29
small for the boys, that's what we're going to get back.
10:31
So typically, I have girlfriends who played in the WFC Nantes not so long ago and who
10:36
collected the size 43 socks that stayed with the boys.
10:42
Discrimination also manifests through disparities in media coverage given to women's sports.
10:49
We are still faced with huge inequalities between the dissemination of women's sport
10:56
and men's sport, while we see that there are studies that show that there is an interest
11:01
in spectators and spectators, and that when the channels finally broadcast and take
11:06
this financial risk and also in terms of audience, they have results.
11:12
And public discrimination starts in the private sphere with prejudice, intimidation and sexism.
11:19
I have witnessed the ambient misogyny that reigns in this environment.
11:24
We only win 3-0 to the spectator.
11:27
The one who trains us is extremely unhappy with this score and ends up threatening us
11:33
with rape, and he looks at us like that, one by one, pointing at us with his finger and
11:39
he says, "You want to do the bitches with me?
11:43
I'm going to fuck you all one by one."
