Well voters in greece are heading to the polls on sunday for the 1st time since the height of the countrys financial crisis Prime MinisterAlexis Tsipras has been holding his final rally in athens this evening is left wing so its a party led the country through years of austerity but opinion polls is suggesting the conservative new democracy policy is now on course for a comeback after defeating so ritzer in the European Parliamentary elections. Reports from athens. Comes from one of greeces 3 big political dynasties but to give yeah cause me to use is an outsider to the conservative new Democracy Party his election to its leadership by the party base in 2016 was unexpected and many in the party disagree with his promises to streamline state bureaucracy and to partially privatize Social Security health and education but these promises helped me to thank yous when a 10 point lead over the governing left wing cities in the European Parliament elections 6 weeks ago. I have kept my promise to reach an honest deal that will bring growth. I traveled every corner of the country twice listening to everyone farmers students the unemployed but i also heard that a new day dawned on our country the question is whether me to take these can tighten the nuts and bolts of an economy that still uncompetitive over the last decade it shrank by a quarter and is forecast to grow by just 2 percent a year its a thank you is promising to double that growth rate thats good news for this car repair shop owner who says he lost 40 percent of his business during the recession i dont know he was as. Ive heard the leaders need to pretty says hes going to bring in your investments but also help existing businesses by lowering Corporate Tax sales tax and Social Security contributions but these measures have to be permanent me to thank yous is promising to lower business tax by 3rd and Social Security contributions by a quarter that would drastically lower the cost of doing business in greece but to deliver he has to persuade creditors to decrease the amount of tax revenue greece spends repaying them each year if its what they get in his 1st months approved that he is. Doing better than expected in terms of the reforms that hes managing to project investment in seoul that i think there would be flexibility. To reduce the targets i think if that the reduction does not happen. Its hard to see how he can do all these tax codes do democracy because much of the responsibility could bankrupt in greece. When there was a cheap supply of your body when Financial Markets collapsed in 2008 it was the greek tax who had to pay for those promises to be met with taxes short of living within means seems an ultimate lead to have matured the greeks believe all those cities are increasing social spending greeks seem to her tired of charity and now want to cross there are jobs are almost aljazeera. Hundreds of firefighters meanwhile tackling wildfires on the greek island of 4 villages have already been evacuated it comes as a Global Conservation that warns year to expect faster spreading super fires in the future judy heat waves and droughts the World Wildlife fund says rising Global Temperatures in the fires of the future will be more powerful and even harder to tackle all than 1400. 00 wildfires have been reported in europe so far this year well in the u. S. State of alaska a record breaking heat wave is fueling wildfires there dense smoke is covering large parts of the state people in some communities have been moved to safety while others have been want to prepare for the worst and gallagher joins us now from salt in alaska and it does look like a very peaceful summers day there but of course with these wildfires just to give us a sense of whats happening in the conditions. I mean there is a good point to make here on the banks of the can i read it this looks like a perfect summers day but the temperatures here on precedented almost every day century old heat records have been broken but this is basically the safest point for us to walk right the swan lake far is just down the road if you go down there you can barely see the car in front of you because of the smoke or less like a take a look at what the staff here a dealing with on the front lines of this place. On the can i pin incident the swan lake fire has been raging for a month Officials Say in recent years these kinds of fires have become more frequent and persistent but alaska is also in the midst of an unprecedented heat wave that shows no signs of abating local firefighters and emergency staff of being reinforced by socalled hot shot crews from across the u. S. Conditions are monitored by the hour in order to tackle what is now a massive blaze this is a case of prioritizing where people and infrastructure is basically exactly also whats good for the environment and whats safe for firefighters thats always going to be our number one priority. On the ground staff are stretched thin and have been on the front lines of this blaze for weeks videos posted by crews fighting to control these wildfires showed just how difficult and dangerous the work is we came across the book valley firefighters a crew made up of native alaskans from remote communities who are vital and highly trained part of this operation were all here as one when were all here to do our job. To help help us. Help save peoples homes there was a fire in 2015 in the lotto and there was a lot of firefighters there to save our community and when i get back were just meters away from the main road into sterling but just look at this scene here behind me some of these areas over here are too dangerous for firefighters to go on foot so helicopters are scooping up the water to try and tackle the flames in this one like fire a soap are consumed almost 350 square kilometers and its one of more than 80 fires across the state hot spots of blurring up all the time and experts say these fires may not be extinguished until the Seasons Change and that could be weeks away. Equality across the southern part of alaska is now a big concern with plumes of smoke covering the mountains close to the states largest city anchorage. Forecasters say alaskas heat wave a factor in making the fires worse may continue for weeks for the foreseeable future that is going to hold in place that week window that we work out in time for events like this that im capable of forecasting for it looks like its going to hold for now so yeah pretty hot hot and dry to be continued for sure the role of Climate Change plays is something at the back of many peoples minds here the caller just say alaska summers appear to be getting longer and hasa if that trend continues shared resources could be stretched to breaking point. So what are contingency plans being put in place youre saying that resources are obviously very thin i mean how are authorities going to ultimately cope and contain these fires. Well this just isnt in question just about fires here in alaska typically fire seasons across this continent are staggered meaning that these mobile hot shot crews can leave one state and go and help another state but here in alaska all the analysts are pointing to the fact that the spring is coming illya the summers are longer and hotter and weve also seen bad fires in places like colorado and california over the past couple of years so if this trend continues these summers keep getting hotter that means the crews here in alaska that would typically help out in places like montana wont be able to leave and thats the same situation vice a versa so its something officials here dont openly want to talk about Climate Change is not something they want to address but it certainly is something they are thinking about in the future because over the last couple of years the fires here in this state are getting worse theyre getting more persistent and the future for these fire crews and how to tackle them well this looks like how it may be in the future so those resources are going to be thin thinly spread across the entire country that something theyre thinking about very very deeply but at the same time still trying to tackle more than 80 fires here in the state of alaska and this heat wave has no sign of ending thank you very much andy gallacher. Well zimbabweans are enduring now was power shortages in years many neighborhoods havent had electricity for weeks now and some residents resorted to burning plastic to cook their meals businesses are trying to stay afloat by nights when theyre more likely to get a steady flow of power. From harare.

The country is struggling to generate enough electricity to meet demand its Mining Sector which gets more than 2 thirds of its export earnings is one of the worst affected. Cited by a market where you know its dark so. What it means is. Inflation. Of g. D. P. Growth in the. Energy officials blame a drought that has reduced water levels at the largest Hydro Power Plant in the country aging coal fired generators can she was who dont pay bills and decades of corruption in the Energy Sector those that may have played. In making us get to this situation. They really should know that were not going to take it lying down. Everybody who is responsible whatever they have done must answer for it. But fixing whats gone wrong in the Energy Sector if that ever happens will take time we need foreign currency it doesnt have enough of to buy electricity from its neighbors until Power Generation improves this will likely be an everyday reality for zimbabweans who have no choice but to rely on the state own Power Company for the energy needs.
