well there we're dealing with widespread instability across europe but i want to pinpoint where i think some severe outbreaks of weather could be on thursday running the risk toward northern areas of italy and also through the czech republic as well heavy rain too in and around moscow that will continue on friday and here we go as well seen a heavy push of rain once again for the south of france in particular for corsica island where we just saw months worth of rain in 24 hours another helping of rain goes through there and just seeing that widespread instability but a heavy pocket of rain too for moscow a look at this we have a familiar friend knocking on the door for the united kingdom just in time for the weekend on cue will swoop into the u.k. it will bring temperatures down introduced some stronger winds you know the name of the game right ok toward south africa have been kong and settled over the last few days so this is a picture on thursday cape town 1000 degrees it is certainly been much needed after dealing with the flooding situation in the western cape but now i'm going to t

getting them marks. macowski is a nonresident senior fellow at the atlantic council and is a former europe nato chief of staff. he joins us from columbus in ohio. good to have you with us. so 1st of all, how do you read this meeting that is going on in blood in slovenia? do you think your opinions of finally going to make a much bigger and sizable, common european army or force at least, you know, i think the meeting obviously is triggered by a crisis with crisis comes opportunity. and i do think the europeans feel that the afghanistan withdrawal both the haste in which it was conducted in the lack of transparency that the u. s. provided it in terms of decision essentially hoisting the decision on the europeans, sparks a reflection point for the europe. and i think they're clearly understand there's been a lack of days. it will effort to accelerate european defense planning for a standing european army standing capabilities. ready in joint development on research. so i do think that this app, ganna stand moment is an opportunity for the europeans to accelerate their own planning. now again

because in europe can be the future from the social media tight. ah hi there, good to see you getting going on your weather forecasts for the middle east right now. we've got some rain hanging around the caspian sea and there is the risk. some of this could seep in to tater on, so we look at the next 3 days and we'll call it about a 40 percent chance of seen some showers on thursday, your temperature 1918 degrees that's below where you should be for this time, the year off to pakistan, temperatures come down just a bit, sin karachi, $36.00 degrees, and islam abad. up to 33. the high for you on wednesday. turkeys northeastern black c region has been striped with some heavy rain as of late still there on wednesday . but it will start to peter out as we get throughout the day. central africa right now, you're gonna right into the democratic republic of congo. we're seen some pretty big storms flare up here. i'd take you further toward that south because we do have some rain dancing around now central and northern parts of mozambique. but if we look to

but that's also happening in europe and elsewhere. if israel has lost anything decisively, the last 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 4 weeks, it has lost the hash tags battle, the proper listing and camp. nita abraham, our correspondent hermana, was talking about the palestinian, the palestinian political situation. given the fact that to all intents and purposes it is, and if nothing else we can do because the elections have been delayed for reasons that we've covered here on all just 0. she is suggesting that it's that if there is going to be a move forward, are going to be some sort of rebuilding. it has to be done with the palestinian authority. but one gets the impression from the outside that it is actually hum us who is holding the leverage at the moment. how is that going to play out when it comes to trying to find some sort of proximal or agreement, at least for the short term. this is the thing about about palestinian politics and the struggle for freedom is that the record has shown once again is that when they are divided, they're invisi

despite playing in one of europe's smaller leagues average attendance at celtic park is almost 60000. there traveling funds break all records. in 2003 celtic reached the new way for cup final in seville spain they were allocated just 15000 tickets some 80000 fans made the journey. celtic lost after taking it to extra time. but the boys one fair play awards for their exemplary conduct. opposing fans sometimes bring hostility in october 29 t. visiting lots of fans marched through glasgow right times raised and fascist salutes. the green brigade responded with banners celebrating the execution of mosul eenie italy's fascist world war 2 leader. trouble seemed likely when the 2nd leg was played in rome. nov 29th rome has been invaded by 15000 celtic fans. the boys are in party movement boisterous and noisy but there's no sign of trouble . lots of fans haven't forgotten the mussolini banners at parkhead. for celtic supporters have been stopped here by. celtic has taught me and to fascism and to racism and to welcome immigrants which i am being from an irish background. and it has taught me

now there is no chance that the united states, the europe in union, the world bank, etc, are going to come in and say, we don't mind having be democratic transition torn up. the other option that the album hand might have is to get some cash in hand from the saudis, from the moratti's for that is not either. and it's striking that the ira believe, came with a statement that didn't just call for dialogue, but cold for a return to the constitutional agreement of 2019. and i think it's not likely of the oblique would have gotten very much out of step with the, with the egyptians. so it is quite unclear to me where possible, foreign financial support for alper homes poach is going to come from. well, it, we, we've seen all of those statements coming from the us, from the, from a different key players denouncing the decisions made by hand. but do you think that this could be translated into sanctions targeting the military regime? it's, it's, i'm unclear to investigate your graphic landscape your, i think i would not have attempted this. it could, it was without getting approval from a dee

is the europe that needs to change a dis dublin regulation. i must point out to jack that when i like the time of the big jungle in 2016, the french government offered the refugees, were wearing kelly, to be able to ask for asylum in france and to have the doubling regulation or a, an old for then, you know, that was a part of proposition 13 article 13 in the dublin regulation that it can be given like this and several 1000 people. busy were when cali at that time said, well if i'm not going to be dublin, then i'm willing to ask for asylum in france. so many people and kelly some want to really go to u k. like you say because of a they have family and so forth. but for many, it's the last chance it's not the el dorado, it's their last chance because they cannot ask for asylum in rancho in germany and so on. so if we change the dublin regulation and of course it has to be change everywhere the european level. otherwise, it won't be fair that will change just definitely things. i think that's very, very important. and there's also, you know, wha

but then came the corona virus and as infection and mortality rates rose across europe. so did mcelroy resolve. one of you was pending me, europe's economy is badly shaken. fundamental human rights have had to be temporarily, massively restricted to an extent, unprecedented for our democracies. these are decisions that are among the most difficult and my term as chancellor. her practice some this time, ment, agreeing vast grants to ailing european economies. she was brilliant in managing through all the crisis our but again, not in a very visionary way. there's hardly a project i could link to angela magazine. ok. this is where she actually implemented whatever topic were discussing, actually a great idea. so it's much more that she managed to to get through all these crisis, but cove, it was the crisis, she couldn't manage your way through alone. in her last days, as chancellor, the numbers of daily cases had record highs. now she had to give way to the incoming government leaders who vetoed her proposed locked her. and as the new parliament deliberates, she is just a s

he called it on europe and his allies and tosh. i thank you for that natasha, but la correspondent, tim paris sand. now earlier we spoke to samuel romani who was a specialist on russian foreign policy at the university of oxford. he explains what's causing tensions to rise along the russia. ukraine border. the situation, your grade is been a semi frozen complet, really since the middle of 2015 when the minsk agreements were signed. so they've been periodic movements of the line of control between ukraine and russia. escalations, where the russians blame the ukrainians for, escalating it, and then try to move the borders. but there hasn't really been any game changing developments and done bath over the past 6 years. now, however, it appears as if the russians could be basically setting a trap, and was they blame you grained for provoking, or causing no harm, death, aggression, and then a pushing for a fuller invasion. we should watch for that creation of a pretext. and after that, the study was any boy for a dangerous situation. we

the fires that are burning in europe, part of the world's. i mean, it's climate change a factor in any way, or is this entirely man made the destruction that's ongoing where you are i would say that in the amazon, which is our fire safety system, which means that the fire is negative or to buy on the fire started by humans, most are 99 percent of the time. they use it basically for renewing agriculture, land or in the deforestation process. and some time that fire goes and spreads to the forest and becomes a wide fire. and of course climate change happen. it helps to to their current self suppliers. but indeed, by the time that we deforest and burn far as to open way forecast rating agriculture lane, we reduce the resilience of the florists to climate change as well. but if it's not just it for climate change, seems like a big banner, a big sticker we can put on something to say, this is the reason why this is bad. so this is good at the climate change. it can have other impacts as well. can it not christiane mazetti in terms of when it's, it
