00:00A fast-moving wildfire has killed at least 12 people in Andalusia, southern Spain,
00:04as an out-of-control blaze swept through a prominent tourist district,
00:08trapping fleeing motorists in burning vehicles and on foot.
00:11The fatal outbreak erupted near the whitewashed village of Bedar,
00:16a highly popular destination for international retirees,
00:19located 15 kilometers from the Mediterranean coast,
00:22leaving 23 people still missing.
00:24The emergency escalated rapidly when a group of victims
00:27reportedly strayed from designated evacuation corridors,
00:30seeking an alternative exit via a dry riverbed
00:33that ultimately became a deadly tactical trap as the flames overtook them.
00:52Regional authorities confirm that the vast majority of the deceased
00:55are believed to be foreign nationals,
00:58including four suspected British citizens who perished in the flames.
01:02To combat the aggressive front line,
01:04around 500 firefighters,
01:06backed by Spain's Specialized Military Emergency Unit,
01:08are scrambling across parched ravines to protect homes
01:11and search for survivors amid thick plumes of smoke.
01:16This is attributable to human-caused climate change.
01:20And what that means is in each year,
01:24we're much more likely to see these fire weather extremes
01:28that combine these multiple compound events,
01:30even if the likelihood of extreme winds stays about the same.
01:33In response to the mounting tragedy,
01:35Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez stated he was utterly devastated,
01:38while King Felipe VI cut short an official engagement
01:41to observe a minute of silence alongside the royal family.
01:44that consistently keeps the ramparts going around.
01:46of course it once a person from the dead
01:47that happens from the outside staff are I wake up inä½
01:48for a long debate now.
