00:01A strong heat wave is sweeping across Europe.

00:05Temperatures are rising fast in many countries.

00:08In Germany, the heat reached nearly 40 degrees Celsius.

00:12Roads are cracking and trains are delayed.

00:16In France, Spain and Italy, people are finding it hard to stay cool.

00:21Some outdoor work has stopped.

00:23Sadly, a few people have died because of the heat.

00:27It's not the first estate with these temperatures.

00:31It becomes a fairly regular phenomenon.

00:35It's cold.

00:36Here in Rome, it's very, very humid.

00:39It makes this cold even more difficult.

00:42Obviously, in monitoring of our animals,

00:45from the state of geological order,

00:47they must check and check and check and check and check,

00:50that there is no sign of badness of animals.

00:53and to ensure, obviously, that there is a lot of good species here.

00:59But there is some good news.

01:02Cool winds from the Atlantic are coming.

01:04They may bring lower temperatures and some rain.

01:07At a zoo in Rome, animals are also feeling the heat.

01:12To help them stay cool, the staff gives them ice treats,

01:17like popsicles made of fruits and fish.

01:20In nature, animals lose time to try to eat.

01:25In other words, in an environment controlled,

01:28like in the biopark.

01:30The food is given to them by guardians,

01:32but in this case, they want to give them the way they should work.

01:36It means to ramp up, or to look inside a table,

01:39or to look inside where it is hidden, and so on.

01:43In this case, with the ghiaccioli.

01:45Monkeys, bears, and even hippos enjoy the treats.

01:49The zookeepers also check to make sure all animals have water and shade.

01:55Everyone, humans and animals, is trying to stay safe and cool.

02:01Thanks.
