Romania is suffering in the heat once again as temperatures reach over 40 degrees Celsius
00:07
in the shade. The emergency services have been inundated with people affected while
00:12
freight trucks are being pulled over for safety and trains are running at reduced speed. The
00:17
heat wave is also straining the nation's energy system with production not able to
00:20
keep up with consumption. That means that power blackouts are increasingly frequent.
00:26
In Ukraine, locals are also suffering. While doctors often recommend staying indoors during
00:31
extreme heat, this advice is impractical in Ukraine. Russian missile attacks have destroyed
00:36
much of the country's electricity generation capacity, preventing the use of air conditioners.
00:40
In North Macedonia, efforts to put out wildfires on Serta mountain in the Megatino region are
00:58
continuing. Helicopters and firefighting aircraft are being deployed in the extinguishing operations.
01:04
At the worst point, the country's crisis management centre said that seven wildfires were active
01:08
across the country.
