so be not just doing was 6 us if you want to say so climate change is making us throw sentence and the impact of this is know being sold all over north america. and part of your job is in fact not just to assess what's happening right now, but also to perhaps project into the future when it comes to the impact of climate change. what are you expecting now in the coming years given the current situation? well colleagues of mine does to keep the example have done an analysis on the characteristics of this effect and why it is today is indeed a very rare, an extreme event at a warming of 2 degrees above pre industrial level. such an event could happen every 5 to 10 year. so by, by mid century and a couple of k. and i think it's illustrating that the climate crisis is not some something that's happening in the future. it's something that's very much upon us. i'm being based in berlin and instead of saying we're leaving the american sector, maybe we should have time post every bad the leaving the civilization friendly sector this to, to concentrations in the atmosphere being the highest, th

talk with us about, i mean, if you could just put this into the broader context for us, you know, we've seen this relatively frequently in the past years. is it getting worse as the years go on, or is that just perception? well, it, it kind of seems like it is getting worse. you know, the, the number of fires that we are responding to is clearly growing that is being shown and proven through the data that we collect and keep track of every single year. but what's, what's growing also is the size of the fires, they're simply getting bigger than they ever have in the past. most of the, of the 20 biggest fires that we've had within the state of california historically have happened within the last 510 years. and that is absolutely concerning, and a trend that we absolutely would would like to see reversed. thank you so much. isaac sanchez, as you mentioned your a firefighter, a battalion chief at cal fire in sacramento, california for taking the time to tell us more about the important work that you are doing to try and keep people safe out there. so we appreciate it. thank you. let's get

you will get us different opinions. it is a fundamental principle in health care for giving informed const for anything we do. i can't even take a patient possible pressure. it is perfectly reasonable that everyone has the choice what medications and vaccines the get. that is a basic human right but employers have a duty of care. they have a duty of care to their employers who they have to maintain the health of and a duty of care toward the patients for whom their employees are looking after. it is balancing this risk between -- between informed consent and all this. the first doctor who documented said first do no harm. it is incumbent on health care workers not to do any harm. brent: there is a lot of talk about whether societies will reach herd immunity. is it even realistic to have that as a goal at this point considering there is vaccine hesitancas well? >> there is not enough people getting vaccinated general in the world but often this is due to lack of vaccine supply. especially in the u.k. at the moment as you

so tell us more about that. exactly. again, the president also said that all of us would need the so called sanitary pass. that is, you know, the, the certificate that we got vaccinated that we got 2 jobs of the could be 19 knox. and also all of that we actually recently recovered from it could be 900 infection or that we have a negative p c r test that certificate that pass. we will meet from next week on to get access to cancel and use weather. at least 50 people get up so that rule is valid for 12 years and older. and from august on we will only get access to cost face and reference, including best terraces to shopping centers per train to planes and to long distance buses. if we have that certificate, that basically means that the government is opting for a lockdown for non vaccinated people. all the people who are refusing the vaccination were no longer get access to social life, especially as p. c. i will no longer be free as they are currently here in france by october. and that's when lots of restrictions will ki

just blaming the other side is both the us economic us speaks. yeah. and, and the co, the government may miss management for decades has responsibility on the situation that you once are undergoing at this point. so both art, i mean when, when you get them bite and blaming them is the mismanagement of the us government. it's right. and then when you get the u. s. embargo understanding of president trump for administration, it's also a fact. so we got to 2 things, 2 actors that are both responsible, right? responsible. what's going in cuba on each site is just blaming the other one people in between monica rivera cravat at a journalist. thank you for joining us. thank you for having me. the morning. 10 days from the start of the olympic games in tokyo and athletes have finally begun moving in to be limping. village. $11000.00 athletes will be housed any strictly controlled environment to the corona virus. they will only be allowed to leave the village to train or compete. athletes will be tested every day of their stay. no spectators will be allowed int

so tell us a little bit more about the sky rocketing infection rates there. well, it's complicated as always with a panoramic, but experts point out 2 main factors. first of all, delta, of course, contrary to many european countries, spain decided to lift all restriction on traveler from the u. k. in may and experts agree that contributed to the record spread of the data variance yet the 2nd reason is big party. some weeks ago the feeling was saying that the panoramic a basically over and the threat and with the spirit of the upcoming summer season. so lots of young people went on with it for dis, no huge ends of the party. and they turns out into huge super reading events. in one case on the island of my york out 600 students got infected in one evening. we just heard john phillip, that france and greece, you know, in response to, to rise in case numbers there that they are now making the job mandatory for some groups. how about in spain is something similar being considered well, some spanish regions that have a lot of political autonomy talked about such i

tell us about that. well, yes, that has been an overnight some racial abuse towards some of these players who missed the penalties. now, the english team is very diverse. i think over half of them have either a parent or grandparent who was not born in britain and there has been this racial abuse. however, this also been a big backlash and the condemnation of that's abuse. why the football association boy prime and the sub or johnson, and also by a lot of people who basically all saying, well, you are young and you all of us and you have actually actually recaptured the english flag from the fall. right. and you've made it something that the whole nation can unite again to. you've got a much stronger sentiment in my view of people, really standing behind the scenes. sima. this wind is coming off a very difficult 18 months of the pandemic in italy. that must have also made this victory even sweeter. yes, indeed. i mean, you had these intense locked downs that would do it. let's not forget it. lee was at t

well, it's just pure joy in the us, the a rome and throughout the country. everyone is just eating a sense of believe it was an incredibly emotional and very final, especially when everything went down to those penalties, shoot out. but clearly the emotions running high as the team and the cup have returned to room. and i scheduled to meet the president and the prime minister later today in the talent capital. the peak was here to support the leading with get the trouble band meeting. it's just too beautiful, seeing the team take the final this way. the, let's say it's hours as the duty have just made it all very crazy, wembley on sunday night and for saying we it's apps now it's us that have taken home the championship. clearly emotional, but the feeling of jubilation here. and it's well beg in mos in london, possibly a very, very different mood that you are quite somebody and the rain is fitting . i have to say get had the nation yesterday was electric really. and they were so hopeful and also safety, 5 years awaiting that. i could bring home international

tell us about that. oh, well, yes indeed. so some of the last semester penalties were targeted online quite a lot of racial abuse and that has in tongue had another strong reaction on social media. so for example, the prime minister johnson who raised the abusing some of the players that they, you know, they should be a shame that they shouldn't be. they shouldn't be called football fan something. and that they and the footboard association themselves, you know, they, they're saying that there is no place for racism in football. and it's really quite an interesting story because this is a very diverse team. and the players have taken the need in the past and, and sometimes not happy with that some, but i think a lot of people already seeing that actually as, as something positive that this is a, is a diverse and, and, and in a way, you know, progresses team as, as some people would say it and, and there's also been a lot of support and has been remarked that, you know, the english flag was recaptured from the far right. and i
