02:12Europe's climate change-fueled heatwave has added more than 700 million euros
02:17to electricity bills in France and Germany alone in just one week,
02:22according to new analysis by environmental NGO 350.org.
02:28Heatwaves drive up demand for cooling and with increased electricity consumption comes higher prices.
02:34Comparing June 21st to 27th against a baseline the previous week,
02:39the analysis shows that electricity prices rose by an estimated 371 million euros in Germany
02:46and 360 million euros in France.
02:50The analysis, which is based on EU electricity price and load data,
02:54also revealed price spikes were particularly acute in the evenings.
02:58For example, in Germany, power prices last week rose from 86 euros per megawatt-hour at midday
03:05to 566 euros megawatt-hour at 8 p.m.
03:10This is particularly because the supply of cheap solar energy dips when the sun goes down,
03:14but temperatures and cooling demand remain high,
03:17especially during tropical nights when the temperature does not fall below 20 degrees Celsius.
03:23These extra costs come on top of elevated oil and gas prices
03:27due to the ongoing crisis in the Strait of Olmo's shipping route.
03:35The Japanese yen fell to around 162.4 per U.S. dollar in Asian trading on Tuesday morning,
03:42measuring in at a record low since 1986.
03:46The drop extends a punishing run for the yen,
03:49which has kept spiraling despite the Bank of Japan's efforts to support it.
03:54The new low has fueled speculations of direct government intervention in the markets.
03:59Japan's finance minister, Satsuki Katayama, said the government is prepared to take
04:04quote,
04:05appropriate and decisive action against excessive currency movement.
04:09She added that she has already been in touch with Washington
04:12to ensure such an option remains open.
04:16The drop in the yen's value has been exacerbated
04:19by the current wide gap between Japanese and American interest rates.
04:24Japanese 10-year bonds have yielded only 2.6% returns compared to U.S. bonds,
04:29which produce around 4.5%,
04:31despite Tokyo raising its benchmark interest to 1% in mid-June,
04:36its highest rate since 1995.
04:40Reliance on imported energy,
04:42which has been costlier since the U.S. waged its war on Iran,
04:45has also heavily contributed to the currency's downfall.
04:49The Japanese government has already spent a record 63 billion euros intervening in currency markets,
04:55and the newest dip is likely to cause nothing but headache for lawmakers.
05:05In Warsaw, a group of Ukrainian volunteers are putting together much-needed drones
05:09and camouflage netting for Ukraine's front line.
05:12More than four years after Russia's invasion,
05:15the demand for supplies is only going up.
05:17The Courage Knows No Borders Association in Poland
05:20says growing fatigue with the war is making it harder to convince people to help.
05:36The group gathers every Saturday to weave nets and assemble FPV drones
05:41at a site not far from the Russian embassy in Warsaw.
05:44Volunteers have produced some 35,000 square meters
05:47since they started in February 2023,
05:51equivalent to five football pitches.
06:07Volunteers say the project also benefits them on a psychological and social level,
06:12helping them maintain a sense of community and purpose in difficult times,
06:16supporting one another in everyday life in exile.
06:27Ukrainian people in Poland are also facing difficulties amid an uptick of anti-Ukrainian sentiment.
06:46At the start of the war, Poland opened its doors to people fleeing the Russian invasion.
06:51It still hosts around one million refugees, the second most in Europe.
06:56But the 2025 presidential election won by nationalist Karol Nafrotsky
07:00saw a surge in anti-Ukrainian messaging.
07:03And a recent survey found that 48% of Poles support accepting Ukrainian refugees,
07:08the lowest level since the start of the war.
07:13A story worthy of a Hollywood script.
07:16Felix the Eagle is back in Serbia.
07:18The young Eastern Imperial Eagle, who had set off on his first migratory flight last August,
07:24only to be caught by poachers in the Middle East and illegally sold,
07:27arrived back in Serbia aboard a military transport plane on Friday.
07:31This rescue came after three failed attempts until the Serbian army used its troops,
07:36serving in a UN peacekeeper mission in Lebanon for the eventual rescue.
07:41It was a complicated mission actually because there has been some clashes on the borders in that day.
07:47And there has been a storm, a rainstorm.
07:50And the river that separates Lebanon from Syria, the level of water was very high.
07:58So we had to wait nine days.
08:00Ono što je dobro i što nekako uliva optimizam,
08:02jeste što, mislim, trebalo je leteti do te Sirije.
08:05Tako da on je naučio da leti, zna odlično da leti, da lovi.
08:10Teško da mu je taj instikt nekako zamro,
08:13tako da se nadamo da će samo malo da se oporavi,
08:16jer nije leteo, eto, skoro pola godine i više.
08:19Nije u tom smislu u kondiciji.
08:21Da se malo još izvrši to proletavanje i podivljavanje, kako se to zove,
08:25i da onda opet mu stavimo, naravno, prsten, telemetrijski odršigač
08:29i da se nadamo da neće biti dosadno sad, u mirnoj bačkoj.
08:34While Felix returned home safely last week,
08:37his ordeal highlighted both the widespread practice of profit-driven,
08:41illegal animal trade and an unfaltering struggle by animal protection groups to counter it.
08:48Bravo!
