Wildfires across Europe continue amid extreme weather conditions

2025/08/14 19:38

Elsewhere. Three lives have also been lost in Europe amid rampant wildfires aggravated by extreme weather conditions. Our Park Kun-woo reports. At least three lives have been lost in intensifying wildfires across Europe one each in Spain, Türkiye, and Albania. And in Greece, consecutive blazes have forced the evacuation of thousands, especially near Patras, the country's third-largest city. "It looks like doomsday. We can't do anything more. May God help us and help the people here." About 5-thousand firefighters and around thirty aircraft have been battling flames on both the mainland and islands, including Chios. Greece has even requested assistance from other European countries and is applying for more aircraft through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. But extreme weather, including strong winds and scorching heat, is hindering efforts. Heat alerts are in place as temperatures are soaring above 40 degrees Celsius in nearby countries, which are intensifying the wildfires. In Spain, thousands have been ordered to evacuate, including over 5-thousand in the Castile and Leon regions. Residents in the country's north have also participated in containing the fire, saying the official response isn't sufficient. "The fire brigades, with carts and bulldozers it's complicated for them to extinguish the fire because there are several active fires in different towns." Amid wildfires that have persisted for weeks across Europe, the European Union has provided assistance to fire-hit countries, including non-member states, by sending firefighters, ground crews and aircraft. And these efforts are expected to continue as the wildfires keep burning, while the extreme summer weather continues. Park Kun-woo, Arirang News.

Evacuations in Alaska after glacial melt raises fears of record flooding

2025/08/14 11:39

In the U.S. state of Alaska, an outburst of water from a glacial lake led to urgent evacuations on Wednesday. Authorities have warned residents in the state capital, Juneau, that water from a basin has burst through and flooded the Mendenhall River to record levels, peaking at over 5 meters, exceeding last year's high-water mark. The National Weather Service has issued a flood warning and urged residents in the high-risk inundation zone to evacuate immediately. Glacial lake outbursts occur when a lake formed by the melting of snow, ice, and rain drains rapidly, much like pulling a plug from a full bathtub. Flooding has been a recurring concern in the area since 2011, and in just one year last year, hundreds of homes were damaged.

As torrential downpours continue, landslide and flood advisories issued nationwide

2025/08/13 22:36

It seems like this summer's relentless rain isn't over yet, with heavy downpours pounding South Korea's capital region throughout the day on Wednesday. Authorities are bracing for further impact, warning the rain, set to continue through tomorrow, could trigger landslides and flooding. Cha Yun-kyung has the details. South Korea continues to see heavy rain throughout the central region, including Gyeonggi-do Province, on Wednesday. Deokjeok-do Island of Ongjin-gun County, Incheon saw extreme rainfall of nearly 150 millimeters in just one hour. According to the Korea Meteorological Administration, from 8:14 AM till 9:14 AM on Wednesday morning, around 149 millimeters of rain poured in the area, marking a near record figure of rainfall. Even areas that didn't cross the 100 millimeter per hour threshold still saw significant rainfall well above typical downpour levels, being classified as "heavy" rainfall. Around 29 streams in Seoul have been closed off, including Cheonggyecheon and Anyangcheon streams. A heavy rain advisory had been issued in the morning in the northern parts of the city and was later raised to a heavy rain warning in the southwestern areas. Seoul and Gyeonggi-do Province have activated Level Two of their emergency response measures, while the country's Forestry Service issued landslide warnings for some cities and counties, including Pocheon, Gapyeong, and Yangju. Advisories have been placed in nearby regions, as authorities order evacuations in other affected areas as a precaution. The KMA notes that this comes from North Pacific high-pressure air expanding into the Peninsula alongside hot and humid air caused by the typhoon "Budle". This air, combined with the dry air coming down from the north, created a narrow rain cloud band. More specifically, fast winds blowing from the lower atmosphere at an altitude of 1-point-5-kilometers, known as lower jets, have been adding to a large amount of water vapor and torrential rain. As the Interior and Safety Ministry activated level 2 of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasures Headquarters response measures, authorities are calling on strict management and preemptive closure of flood-prone areas to prevent further damage. Though heavy rain is expected to continue throughout Wednesday, it will ease off nationwide by Thursday afternoon, and related agencies will be closely monitoring conditions.

World News: Wildfires rage across southern Europe as temperatures top 40C

2025/08/13 19:42

This is the World Now, bringing you the latest stories from around the globe. From Spain to the Balkans, a severe heatwave is driving temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius and fires have broken out across southern Europe, resulting in three deaths and forcing thousands to evacuate. In Spain, a wildfire near Madrid resulted in one death late Monday and forced the evacuation of 180 people. Another person died fighting fires in northwest Spain, while in southern Spain's Cadiz region, over 2,000 tourists and residents were evacuated from hotels and beaches as a fast-moving blaze filled the skies with black smoke. Spain's military said on Tuesday that nearly 1,000 soldiers have been deployed to combat wildfires across the country. Greece, which is facing more than 100 wildfires, has requested emergency assistance including water-dropping planes from the European Union Civil Protection Mechanism. Wildfires have broken out in several other countries. One person fighting fires in Montenegro died when a water tanker overturned, while in Turkiye, around 50,000 people have been evacuated due to fires. Scientists warn that climate change is turning southern Europe into a tinderbox due to rising temperatures and prolonged droughts. Egypt has announced that Cairo is actively engaging with Qatar and the United States as mediators to negotiate a 60-day ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. During a news conference on Tuesday, Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty stated that Egypt is "working very hard in full cooperation with the Qataris and Americans" to revive a previous ceasefire proposal. This plan includes a 60-day truce, conditional releases of hostages and Palestinian detainees, and unrestricted access for humanitarian aid into Gaza. Abdelatty emphasized that discussions are ongoing with both Hamas and Israeli authorities, based on a recent initiative from the U.S. and Qatar. Last month, negotiations in Doha failed to achieve a breakthrough for a ceasefire and the release of hostages, as Israel and the U.S. withdrew their delegations, citing unacceptable demands from Hamas. In France, a swarm of jellyfish caused a temporary shutdown of four of the six reactors at the Gravelines nuclear power plant, one of the country's largest, as of Monday morning, after clogging the cooling system's filters. EDF, the company that operates the plant, stated that teams are conducting inspections to restart the site "in complete safety," and that the reactors that were shut down are expected to restart on Thursday. While the company reassured that no safety or environmental risks were linked to the incident, experts warn that an increase in jellyfish blooms exacerbated by climate change is increasing the risk of power plant interruptions. Finally, in South Africa's Adventures With Elephants sanctuary in Bela-Bela, visitors celebrated World Elephant Day on Tuesday by interacting with a herd of rescued African elephants. As part of what was described as a rare and respectful opportunity to connect with the animals firsthand, visitors had the chance to feed and touch the largest mammals on earth. A special tour commemorating the day also included the reserve's educational team, which informed visitors about the history of elephants and emphasized their intelligence and memory.
