00:02French, Spanish and EU leaders are looking at how to respond to the wildfires raging
00:08across southern Europe.
00:09Places have already consumed more than 80,000 hectares in Spain and over 42,000 hectares
00:16in France.
00:17Both fires remain out of control and have forced more than 320,000 people to leave their homes.
00:23Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez warned difficult hours lay ahead in the fight against
00:29wildfires.
00:30...respuesta, por eso prevención, respuesta y reconstrucción.
00:35Antes, lo comentaba con el presidente Mañueco, también con el alcalde, con el presidente
00:39de la Diputación de Ávila, es evidente que todavía no ha acabado el verano, que por desgracia
00:45tendremos nuevos incendios.
00:47Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron chaired an inter-ministériel crisis meeting
00:53on wildfires on Monday.
00:54The fire in Gironde has been stabilized but is not yet under control, the French interior
00:59minister said.
01:01On est confrontés en Gironde à un phénomène qui est totalement inédit.
01:04Europe's firefighting capacity is struggling to keep pace with increasingly intense wildfires
01:10in Spain and France, the European Commission said Monday, despite one of the EU's largest
01:16ever emergency responses.
01:18The Commission has mobilized seven aircraft and four helicopters to France, as well as
01:23six aircraft and three ground firefighting teams to Spain through the EU's civil protection
01:28mechanism.
01:29In addition, Brussels is moving to expand its firefighting fleet for future emergencies.
01:40Iran has issued a fresh warning to Bulgaria after Sofia permitted the United States to use its
01:46military bases, escalating diplomatic tensions between Tehran and the Balkan nation.
01:51The diplomatic rift deepened after Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Bakay warned
01:56that Bulgarian decision makers must bear responsibility for hosting a U.S. aerial refueling aircraft.
02:03The statement follows a public message from U.S. President Donald Trump, who thanked Bulgarian
02:08Prime Minister Roman Radev for supporting the deployment despite Iranian threats.
02:14This marks the third warning issued by Tehran, which claims the move supports U.S. military
02:18operations against Iran.
02:20Despite attempts by Bulgarian Defense Minister Dimitar Stoyanov to downplay the risk of a missile
02:26attack, the situation remains tense at home.
02:30Bulgaria's parliament approved the relocation of U.S. aircraft to the Besmer military airbase,
02:35sparking protests from local residents who feared the area could become a regional target.
02:45Global crude oil prices dropped on Monday, with September Brent crude falling 4.66% to $92.27
02:53per barrel and U.S. WTI declining by around 5% to $84.83 per barrel.
03:01The retreat followed a sharp July rally that briefly pushed Brent to $102 per barrel amidst escalating
03:08Russian conflict in the Middle East.
03:11Shipping disruptions through the critical Strait of Hormuz, the passage for one-fifth of world
03:15crude, drove initial price surges after conflict flare between the U.S., Israel and Iran.
03:22Alternative routes faced renewed pressure last week following attacks on Saudi oil tankers
03:26operating in the Red Sea.
03:28As supply strains reignited inflation concerns, traders raised the likelihood of a Federal Reserve
03:34interest rate hike height to 36%.
03:37While prices eased slightly, heavy market uncertainty remains over potential economic impacts across
03:43Europe and worldwide.
03:49The share price of pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca rose in European trading on Monday after the
03:56company reconfirmed its full-year outlook following second quarter results that beat analysts' expectations.
04:03Net profit climbed more than 2% to €2.2 billion in three months to the end of June, compared
04:11with the same period
04:12last year, driven by continued strong growth in sales of its cancer and rare disease medicines.
04:19Alongside its blockbuster medicines, AstraZeneca is investing in treatment for opacity.
04:24Results released in June showed that patients taking the highest dose of AstraZeneca's experimental
04:31weight-loss pill, Elegoglipron, lost an average of 10.5% of their body weight after 26 weeks,
04:38with weight loss reaching 11.8% after 36 weeks.
04:43If confirmed in further trials, the treatment could mark AstraZeneca's entry into the highly lucrative
04:50weight-loss drug market, currently dominated by Denmark's NovoNoDisc and US-based Eli Lilly.
05:02Shares of CXMT, China's largest memory chipmaker, sold on Monday after they began trading in Shanghai,
05:09in mainland China's biggest initial public stock offering in recent years.
05:15CXMT's shares surge 472% in their market debut and making it the most valuable company listed
05:22on the mainland Chinese exchange, with a market capitalization of about €415 billion.
05:31CXMT is among a growing number of chipmakers that have benefited enormously from the artificial intelligence boom.
05:39The company has also prospered as China pushes for greater self-sufficiency in advanced technologies
05:47while grappling with restricted access to cutting-edge chipmaking equipment under US-led export controls.
05:58New clashes between police and protesters who oppose the ambitious tourism project of Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner
06:05in Albania broke out in Tirana.
06:08For the 57th day in a row, protesters gathered in the Albanian capital to express their opposition to what they
06:15call an environmental crime.
06:17They threw eggs and tomatoes at police officers, who in turn made arrests.
06:22People are tired of the current corrupt system in Albania, and they want change.
06:28People have seen how things have gone for us, not just because of strategic investments,
06:33but also because of everyday life in Albania.
06:35All these people here, they're not ignorant.
06:38They know what's actually happening in Albania, and they're tired of corruption.
06:42It's that simple.
06:43Rule of law in Albania.
06:45That's all we want.
06:47The protesters accuse the government of selling off the country's wealth and of being mirrored in scandals.
06:54At the same time, they accuse the government of attempting to control the judiciary
06:58and of creating a legal framework that serves the personal interests of government officials.
07:05The Albanian government maintains that the tourism plan aims to revitalize the wider region,
07:11attract high-end tourism, and contribute to the country's bid for EU membership.
07:41So, the area that they're in is really small, which is part of the reason that they're critically endangered.
07:47And that's also because of habitat loss.
07:51So, the area that they occur in is called Montseigne National Park,
07:57and the local area sources water from there for bottled water.
08:04It's really high-quality spring water, which the newts love, and unfortunately we also love.
08:10So, they're losing a lot of the water out of these torrents.
08:29So, their fertility rates are really low, and the hatching success is also very low.
08:37So, we've been doing a bit of tweaking of the husbandry with our partners, trying to figure out what's going
08:43on,
08:43and we have seen quite a bit of increased success rates over the past couple of years.
09:06They're in these fast-flying streams, but they're probably also living in the rocks, in the water table,
09:14and it's very hard to observe them, and that's probably where the eggs and the larvae are,
09:18out of the way, out of the way of predators and other threats.
10:15A short-flying stream of the food is brought out.
10:17The story of the soul is brought back to you on a very short-flying stream.
10:18now it's four years ago, with Villars, where I create a story over several years.
10:23And generally, it's children who, year after year, evolve or create a story.
10:43Here, the challenge is generally double.
10:46It will be physical, because there is still a fence,
10:49you have to work from the morning to the evening,
10:51and the meteor, because we are in altitude.
10:54We are not at 2000, but we are relatively high.
10:58And so, as usual, I would like to play with the storms, the wind, the rain, etc.
11:06So it's always complicated for me.
11:23If there are a lot of storms, it will obviously disappear.
11:26If there are a lot of storms, we already see a lot of storms.
11:29I love this moment, because, finally, it's a moment where nature
11:32reprends its rights on what I've done myself.
11:33I love this moment.
