00:00In Chile, severe storms and unprecedented rainfall have left at least 13 people dead and 7 other missing across the
00:06country.
00:06In response to the climate emergency, Chile's Ministry of Education suspended classes for Thursday, July 23,
00:12and Friday, July 24, across the entire Coquimbo region and in parts of the Atacama region.
00:18The measures apply to all early childhood primary and secondary schools, both public and private,
00:23in an effort to reduce risk associated with hazardous road conditions and potential damage to infrastructure.
00:30Authorities have urged residents to stay informed through official civil protection agencies
00:35and to remain in safe location until conditions improve.
00:47Aerial images show the current state of Avenida del Mar Beach and the Faro Monumental area in La Serena
00:53after the frontal system has affected Chile's coastal region.
00:56Along the shoreline, there is a large accumulation of logs, branches, seaweed, and other debris that was carried in by
01:04the storm.
01:05In this scenario, authorities are assessing the damage and coordinating cleanup efforts in the tourist area.
01:10These types of events have become more frequent due to climate change affecting coastal communities' infrastructure and economic activity.
01:24Southern Europe is facing a new wave of destructive wildfires as extreme heat and strong winds continue to fuel fast
01:31-moving flames across Italy, France, and Spain.
01:34In Sicily, where temperatures have climbed above 40 degrees Celsius, hundreds of residents and more than 20 patients from a
01:41medical clinic
01:42were evacuated as firefighters battled multiple places.
01:46In this context, Italy's Interior Minister confirmed that one firefighter lost his life while responding to the fires.
01:53Meanwhile, in southwestern France, thousands of hectares have already burned, forcing hundreds of people from their homes and campsites.
02:01In central Spain, new wildfires near Toledo triggered evacuation in central communities
02:05as emergency crews continue fighting another massive blaze north of Madrid that has already scorched 32,000 hectares.
02:28The wildfire emergency is also intensifying in France and Spain.
02:32French authorities say fire have burned more than 3,500 hectares in southwest and along the Mediterranean coast.
02:40Around 700 residents were evacuated from the town of Le Porche,
02:43while another 3,500 people were relocated from a nearby campground as a precaution.
02:49In Spain, a new wildfire near Toledo prompted evacuations in several cities around Madrid and forced one town into lockdown.
03:03So they actually asked us to pack a bag.
03:06There was no evacuation order at the time, but to pack a bag and, if necessary, should the situation change,
03:12and they came to warn us all to evacuate, to do so as quickly as possible.
03:16Well, when you see that, it does make you a bit anxious, doesn't it?
03:20You get scared.
03:21Well, yes, I mean, yes, it's terrible.
03:24The children are scared, and well, we've never experienced anything like this here before.
03:29It used to be in Saumos, but now it's happening here, so yes, it does have an impact.
03:33It really does.
03:38More details about the situation in Italy.
03:40More than 100% were evacuated due to a fire that reached the outskirts of Santo Stefano di Quisquina.
03:48Also in Sicily, in this regard, a local clinic was closed, which put essential infrastructure at risk,
03:56including an oxygen depot, a petrol station, and a fireworks factory.
03:59The wildfire was one of several fires fueled by strong winds across Sicily in recent days,
04:05stretching emergency resources across the island.
04:08Sicilian authorities said hundreds of hectares of Mediterranean vegetation had already been destroyed
04:13in some of the island's worst-hit communities, including Santo Stefano di Quisquina, Vigona, Pritzi, and Camarata.
04:36obrigado to this movement from Superman.
04:37Good night long.
04:39Salvation is here.
