Tourists flee wildfires at sea
Bibione Several tourists have fled to sea at the seaside resort of Bibione on the Adriatic Sea in northern Italy due to a forest fire and were rescued by the coast guard there. In Spain and Portugal, more than 600 people have now succumbed to the heat.
Videos showed how the fires devoured trees and thick smoke billowed into the sky, which can be seen from miles away. „We hope it will not be canceled in the coming hours, but there should be no missing persons,” Pierluigi Grossetto, deputy mayor of San Michele al Tagliamento, told ANSA news agency. Police are investigating the cause of the fire. Because of the drought, Grossetto says, it’s possible that the flames were igniting on their own. Troops fought four fires.
In connection with the severe drought, fire brigades are currently fighting forest and bush fires across the country in Italy. In the municipality of Giriot (Frasilungo) in Trentino, northern Italy, 90 firefighters, two helicopters and two firefighting planes responded to a forest fire in an area of about 70 hectares. The fighting continued on Saturday. The Civil Defense warned against approaching the area. The hiking and skiing area is located east of Trento.
Also in Tuscany, the Lucca fire brigade on Friday had to put out fires in a burning olive grove. Forest and bush fires also broke out in Sicily and Sardinia, and firefighting aircraft were used to fight them.
But Italy is not alone in battling high temperatures: since last Sunday, at least 360 people have fallen victim to a heatwave in Spain with temperatures in excess of 40 degrees Celsius. La Vanguardia newspaper reported on Saturday, citing the Carlos III State Health Institute. in Madrid. The number of people dying from the heat is increasing day by day. On the first day, 15 such deaths were recorded in the country of 47 million people, on Friday, when temperatures rose to 45 degrees, already 123.
In most cases, La Vanguardia wrote, the victims were people already weakened by old age or by a previous illness. But on Friday, a 60-year-old street cleaner suddenly collapsed. Emergency physicians measured a body temperature of 41.6 degrees. The man was taken to the hospital, but died there.
Lusa news agency reported that 238 deaths were counted between July 7 and 13 in neighboring Portugal, which has a population of 10 million who is also suffering from a heat wave, compared to similar periods in previous years. These deaths can be attributed to the extreme heat.
The Spanish authorities urgently recommend drinking enough water, postponing especially strenuous physical activities if possible, and it is better to leave the house only in the morning or evening hours. The coming days promise some relief when temperatures are expected to dip below 40 degrees in many places.
The heat and prolonged drought have also caused many devastating wildfires in Spain, Portugal and other countries in southern Europe.

It is clear that Hamas leaders view the Israeli proposal with suspicion
In the struggle for a ceasefire in the Middle East, an official response by Hamas to Israeli concessions is still pending. However, the Jemaah Islamiyah leader has already spoken – and he did not sound optimistic.
According to a media report, the leader of the extremist Islamic movement Hamas in the Gaza Strip, Juhia Sinwar, is questioning the latest offer to negotiate a hostage deal.
A source close to the Hamas leader told the Israeli television channel Channel 12 this evening that this is not an offer from Egyptian mediators, but rather an Israeli offer “in American guise” that includes a number of pitfalls. The current draft does not contain any guarantee that the war will end.
It is unclear how many hostages are still alive
As part of Egyptian mediation efforts in Cairo, Hamas was presented with a ceasefire proposal in exchange for the release of the hostages. The Egyptian mediators had previously received the offer in Israel.
In the October 7 massacre in Israel, Hamas and other terrorist groups took more than 250 hostages. 105 of them were released at the end of November. It is unclear how many of the rest are still alive.
An official response from Hamas is expected soon
Hamas has not yet responded to the Israeli proposal. The Islamic organization so far insists on ending the war, which Israel rejects. The Israeli government announced the rapid start of the controversial offensive in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip on the border with Egypt if an agreement is not reached.
Hamas's representative in Lebanon, Osama Hamdan, told Al-Manar TV station, which is controlled by the pro-Iranian Shiite Hezbollah militia in Lebanon: “Our position on the current negotiating document is negative,” as The Times of Israel reported that night. But according to the Hamas press office, this does not mean an interruption in the negotiations. According to the newspaper, the organization intends to provide a response to the latest proposal within the next few hours.
What weight does the word sinwar carry?
A person close to Sinwar told Israel's Channel 12 that statements by Hamas leaders in exile should not be viewed as official positions of the Islamic organization. The Gaza leader now relies solely on two of his close followers who control the Gaza Strip for decision-making. He left the matter before the terrorist attack launched by Hamas on Israel on October 7 last year.
According to The Times of Israel, Hamas leaders in exile recently issued statements in favor of a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip.

Blinken: “Hamas is blocking the way to a ceasefire”
During his visit to Israel, US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken previously called on Hamas to agree to the Israeli ceasefire proposal. He said, „It is Hamas that is blocking the path to a ceasefire.” There is a „very strong suggestion on the table” that the terrorist organization should „agree to it and get it over with.”
According to media reports, the Israeli proposal stipulates a multi-stage process in which fighting in the Gaza Strip would be halted for 40 days initially, and the hostages would be released in return. First, women, the sick, the elderly and the wounded must be released. As was the case with the first ceasefire, Palestinian prisoners will also be released from Israeli prisons – also in stages.
An Israeli government spokesman said it wanted to wait until the evening to get a response from Hamas. A “decision” will then be made on whether Israel will send a delegation to Cairo for further talks.

Children must play important roles
He presses
Donald Trump has given his two sons the leadership role of his transition team for a possible transfer of power. Observers doubt that there are purely strategic motives behind this.
NEW YORK – Despite the ongoing legal proceedings, it seems that Donald Trump is already making plans for what will happen if he wins the presidential election in November 2024. According to the news portal, the former US president has now left Sunday times He announced that his sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr., will lead the team that will plan the transition of power in November.
Donald Trump is the father of five children: Barron Trump, Ivanka Trump, Tiffany Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Eric Trump. Neither of his last two sons assumed any official duties during his presidency. It's different with Trump's daughter, Ivanka Trump. She and her husband often served in an advisory capacity to Trump and his team, and often accompanied her father to public events.
It also appears that Trump's children are supposed to ensure the „loyalty” of Trump's employees
Now 40-year-old Eric Trump and his brother Donald Trump Jr., who is six years older than him, are leading Trump's interim transition team, which, if he wins the election, will later be responsible for assembling the country's 3,000 officials. White House. Among other things, it should be loud Sunday times It is also about verifying and ensuring the „loyalty” of Trump's employees before the start of his term in office.
The primary task of this transition team is to secure and streamline the transition from the election campaign to the seizure of power, if necessary. In the United States of America, for example, the situation is different from that in Great Britain, where the future prime minister takes office on election day. After the elections, the US president has two months to fill all the positions in a huge administrative apparatus.
The decision is for the children: the result of the rift with those close to Trump today?
Observers suspect that the decision in favor of his children may also have something to do with the fact that Trump has now parted ways with many of his confidants and longtime staff. Those weighing heavily on him in court these days, like former Trump lawyers Michael Cohen and Rudy Giuliani.
Before Donald Trump brought his sons in to run it, that was the job of Chris Christie, the former governor of New Jersey. But the differences between Christie and Trump escalated to the point that Christie challenged him to run in the 2024 elections on an anti-Trump ticket and announced that she would definitely not vote for him next November.
Former White House staffer: 'I don't know of any other case in which the family has been so deeply involved'
Participating in the conversation was Alvin Felzenberg, who worked in the White House under former President Bush Sunday times Highlights the novelty of the Trump family's involvement. “I don't know of any other case where the family has been so involved,” he said.
According to Felzenberg, Trump is also breaking with the past with his decision to nominate his sons to lead his transition team. The Trump family believed that it did not receive sufficient support from the authorities after the recent elections.
