yes, i'm where the main square of the town used to be. you can see here behind me there's still a lot of debris and these are all mostly volunteers who are here with tractors and escalators trying to clear up the streets and the square. and i must say they have done quite me quite some progress compared to yesterday. they removed a lot of things. now in terms of the flooding here, the situation is quite stable. there is more a question of cleaning up and trying to make the houses livable again, but the extent of the damage and the losses also in terms of human lives. they're really starting to emerge. the area of the i've, i will, we are, the police said that they are counting now at least 90 deaths in the expected death told to keep rising. and we're seeing real tragedies have occurred here in the town near by 12 people who were living in a facility for disabled people drowned in there because on the ground floor water suddenly came in and the facility managers were not able to save them. so it is a real, real tragedy really have occurre

so delhi is on the ground for us in rhineland. platinum. she is in the city of port time tracking the latest for us there. let's bring her in. now, julia, tell us what the situation is like where you are started here to move on from the initial shock of what happened then actually taking stock of the real damage that has occurred here. as you can see here, behind me, there is the breeze strewn all over the streets, mud inside the homes. it is filled with mud. when those that have been torn away and people are slowly starting to clean up, we don't see many authorities or firefighter is here helping clean up. there are a lot of volunteers who came to this town with track. there isn't other equipment to try to clean up the streets. a lot of them are farmers from the neighboring region and we spoke to one of these volunteers and ask them what he saw when he 1st arrived here in the town. let's have a listen. yeah, i've been here when i arrived here, it was a catastrophe and the cut of the entire road behind me was covered in branches and rex car

that is say so much about us. so we took us tons and that led us into shootouts. we end up shooting at each other with these guys, but we, we won that battle because they retreated, they lived, but the 2nd night they've tried again. and luckily that night with sept and it was the, you know, they, they got it shifted. and the 3rd night the military came and the fire power became triple, and it was a different story. they, they knew that they couldn't take that. mr. lex, we talked about the fact that this is the last standing just picked us about the damage that's been done to just the weights of the damage is incredible because the looting, as a consequence, we have, we have a serious food security crisis in so people can buy food anyway, the atm, the old rooted people, connie's draw money. you have good grannies that are, that are on chronic medication that needs food before they eat the medication. now, what are you saying to them? then let's continue eating the medication without having anything to eat. we literally saying, dig your grave in wasn't and that's ho

bring us up to date on the situation where you are. well this morning people are overcoming the initial shock and they're starting to understand the real extent of the damage here. it feels a bit like a ghost town here because the town is left without electricity without running water. so a lot of people have to leave their homes and find another kind of accommodation for the night. and as you might see behind me, the damage is significant. we've seen volunteers from the entire region coming here with tractors and other equipment to try to help clean up the streets, but also the ground floors of houses. but many people here have lost everything. we're hearing reports from authorities that there are still a 1300 people unaccounted for. has there been any progress on locating these people? so this is what authorities here in this area where we are now had been seeing last night. and they hope that the high amount of people that are accounted for is due to the fact that phone reception is difficult. here we are, selves experienced difficu

let's bring in d w. nino hossa who's been following the story for us. nina, we understand that dozens of people are missing, after houses collapsed. what are you hearing? the situation is very drastic in many areas of western germany. and that just goes to show the severity of the situation that housing collapse. and in that area where they collect a large number of other houses are also unstable and at risk of collapse. have the authority, i've said in many different areas here effected, but the german rail service has worn passengers from other parts of the country, not to travel to new pharmacy at the moment because germany's most popular state is the west effected because of the flood people and in the gym and raised seventy's edging people not to go that many people are talking about the situation as a disaster that happens only every few decade. some say it's never happened to this extent, and there are reports of what's normally little streams of like to me to why that a current be 200 meters like just so that you get an idea of the situation. what can you report about the, the

so be not just doing was 6 us if you want to say so climate change is making us throw sentence and the impact of this is know being sold all over north america. and part of your job is in fact not just to assess what's happening right now, but also to perhaps project into the future when it comes to the impact of climate change. what are you expecting now in the coming years given the current situation? well colleagues of mine does to keep the example have done an analysis on the characteristics of this effect and why it is today is indeed a very rare, an extreme event at a warming of 2 degrees above pre industrial level. such an event could happen every 5 to 10 year. so by, by mid century and a couple of k. and i think it's illustrating that the climate crisis is not some something that's happening in the future. it's something that's very much upon us. i'm being based in berlin and instead of saying we're leaving the american sector, maybe we should have time post every bad the leaving the civilization friendly sector this to, to concentrations in the atmosphere being the highest, th

talk with us about, i mean, if you could just put this into the broader context for us, you know, we've seen this relatively frequently in the past years. is it getting worse as the years go on, or is that just perception? well, it, it kind of seems like it is getting worse. you know, the, the number of fires that we are responding to is clearly growing that is being shown and proven through the data that we collect and keep track of every single year. but what's, what's growing also is the size of the fires, they're simply getting bigger than they ever have in the past. most of the, of the 20 biggest fires that we've had within the state of california historically have happened within the last 510 years. and that is absolutely concerning, and a trend that we absolutely would would like to see reversed. thank you so much. isaac sanchez, as you mentioned your a firefighter, a battalion chief at cal fire in sacramento, california for taking the time to tell us more about the important work that you are doing to try and keep people safe out there. so we appreciate it. thank you. let's get

so tell us more about that. exactly. again, the president also said that all of us would need the so called sanitary pass. that is, you know, the, the certificate that we got vaccinated that we got 2 jobs of the could be 19 knox. and also all of that we actually recently recovered from it could be 900 infection or that we have a negative p c r test that certificate that pass. we will meet from next week on to get access to cancel and use weather. at least 50 people get up so that rule is valid for 12 years and older. and from august on we will only get access to cost face and reference, including best terraces to shopping centers per train to planes and to long distance buses. if we have that certificate, that basically means that the government is opting for a lockdown for non vaccinated people. all the people who are refusing the vaccination were no longer get access to social life, especially as p. c. i will no longer be free as they are currently here in france by october. and that's when lots of restrictions will ki

just blaming the other side is both the us economic us speaks. yeah. and, and the co, the government may miss management for decades has responsibility on the situation that you once are undergoing at this point. so both art, i mean when, when you get them bite and blaming them is the mismanagement of the us government. it's right. and then when you get the u. s. embargo understanding of president trump for administration, it's also a fact. so we got to 2 things, 2 actors that are both responsible, right? responsible. what's going in cuba on each site is just blaming the other one people in between monica rivera cravat at a journalist. thank you for joining us. thank you for having me. the morning. 10 days from the start of the olympic games in tokyo and athletes have finally begun moving in to be limping. village. $11000.00 athletes will be housed any strictly controlled environment to the corona virus. they will only be allowed to leave the village to train or compete. athletes will be tested every day of their stay. no spectators will be allowed int

so tell us a little bit more about the sky rocketing infection rates there. well, it's complicated as always with a panoramic, but experts point out 2 main factors. first of all, delta, of course, contrary to many european countries, spain decided to lift all restriction on traveler from the u. k. in may and experts agree that contributed to the record spread of the data variance yet the 2nd reason is big party. some weeks ago the feeling was saying that the panoramic a basically over and the threat and with the spirit of the upcoming summer season. so lots of young people went on with it for dis, no huge ends of the party. and they turns out into huge super reading events. in one case on the island of my york out 600 students got infected in one evening. we just heard john phillip, that france and greece, you know, in response to, to rise in case numbers there that they are now making the job mandatory for some groups. how about in spain is something similar being considered well, some spanish regions that have a lot of political autonomy talked about such i

ah, ah ah, ah use this is e w, news live from berlin, the u. s. denies today that's behind cuba, the biggest wave of protest in decades cuban security forces clamped down after thousands take to the 3 the communist regime, blaine's washington for the unrest. coming up sorties in south korea, rambled to a search in corona virus cases imposing the toughest restrictions yet in the capital and anger and the rest in south africa. deadly violence and widespread looting after authorities put the former president, jacob's behind bars. ah, i'm sarah kelly. welcome to the program. the united states has denied keepers accusation, but it is to blame for an extraordinary wave of protest on the caribbean island, people across cuba took to the streets on sunday, venting their frustration over food and medicine shortages and record covered 19 infections. president miguel de s canal said that u. s. economic sanctions were stoping the on rest. the these are the images cuban state tv, broadcast of sundays, mass protest. the country is going for, it was a comic cr

tell us about that. well, yes, that has been an overnight some racial abuse towards some of these players who missed the penalties. now, the english team is very diverse. i think over half of them have either a parent or grandparent who was not born in britain and there has been this racial abuse. however, this also been a big backlash and the condemnation of that's abuse. why the football association boy prime and the sub or johnson, and also by a lot of people who basically all saying, well, you are young and you all of us and you have actually actually recaptured the english flag from the fall. right. and you've made it something that the whole nation can unite again to. you've got a much stronger sentiment in my view of people, really standing behind the scenes. sima. this wind is coming off a very difficult 18 months of the pandemic in italy. that must have also made this victory even sweeter. yes, indeed. i mean, you had these intense locked downs that would do it. let's not forget it. lee was at t

well, it's just pure joy in the us, the a rome and throughout the country. everyone is just eating a sense of believe it was an incredibly emotional and very final, especially when everything went down to those penalties, shoot out. but clearly the emotions running high as the team and the cup have returned to room. and i scheduled to meet the president and the prime minister later today in the talent capital. the peak was here to support the leading with get the trouble band meeting. it's just too beautiful, seeing the team take the final this way. the, let's say it's hours as the duty have just made it all very crazy, wembley on sunday night and for saying we it's apps now it's us that have taken home the championship. clearly emotional, but the feeling of jubilation here. and it's well beg in mos in london, possibly a very, very different mood that you are quite somebody and the rain is fitting . i have to say get had the nation yesterday was electric really. and they were so hopeful and also safety, 5 years awaiting that. i could bring home international

tell us about that. oh, well, yes indeed. so some of the last semester penalties were targeted online quite a lot of racial abuse and that has in tongue had another strong reaction on social media. so for example, the prime minister johnson who raised the abusing some of the players that they, you know, they should be a shame that they shouldn't be. they shouldn't be called football fan something. and that they and the footboard association themselves, you know, they, they're saying that there is no place for racism in football. and it's really quite an interesting story because this is a very diverse team. and the players have taken the need in the past and, and sometimes not happy with that some, but i think a lot of people already seeing that actually as, as something positive that this is a, is a diverse and, and, and in a way, you know, progresses team as, as some people would say it and, and there's also been a lot of support and has been remarked that, you know, the english flag was recaptured from the far right. and i

just take us through it. well as we saw that brilliant, early start freeing the loop shows goal and a redemption story for him as well. after a tricky few years, when played a really good 1st half, they switched back to a 343 formation like they did against germany. gamble that the italian wing is maybe wouldn't be defensively, so involved that gamble paid off. and then italy, though, stayed focused patient and manage the game that deep soaked up, the pressure went to worried about scoring in the 1st half. and even in the 2nd, it took them a little while to get that goal eventually after a corner. but england kind of went into the shell, they didn't have the creativity, they didn't make the substitution of italy, we're making to get fresh legs onto the page the whole time. and i think, you know, as a coach, you have to be a bit of a gambler and sounds gates tactic was to gamble on the plays the on the pitch and very late to bring on then 1st 2nd, henderson and then an extra time other players than the penalti

god, help us all. mark meadows from d. w. sports really appreciate it. in another continental football championship. argentina have beaten our tribal is brazil, one nil to win the cope. america final and rio and held the maria score the mattress . only goal with the chip. over keeper edison's head, fans streamed onto the streets of argentine as capital bernice areas to celebrate the victory to their national teams. first title in 28 years. and the 1st major international trophy for argentina's, captain leno, messy. now let's catch up on some other stories making headlines around the world. the wife of haiti's assassinated president has made her 1st remarks since the killing of her husband martine louise said the attack happened in the blink of an eye without her husband getting the chance to say a word. patient police accused foreign mercenaries of carrying out the killing. the g 20 a group of wealthy nations have back a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15 percent. the deal aims to stop multinational especially tech giants, doing business globally fr

reassessment of us policy toward haiti. we asked him what he thinks needs to change in order for international support to be more fruitful. well, i think that what we have to do is work with patients. civil society, broadly speaking, the legal community, the bar association, the human rights groups, the catholic church, the protestant church, the political parties, the unions in the business community. and i think they are working right now as we speak to come up with a plan for a consensus plan for a caretaker government that would take power, calm things down, restore order, and build a pathway to restore democracy. you can't just say have elections, have elections, have elections when there is no legitimate government, when there is no security for the people to go to the polls. when there is no electoral council capable of registering the whole population, we need to build up the conditions for the 1st 2 f canister. and now where the departure of foreign troops in recent days has led to fierce fighting for control talib

order aimed at creating more competition across us industries. parts of the new law target technology companies and gives the government greater power to scrutinize mergers, monitor their use of consumer data and respond to unfair competition in online shopping. haiti's interim government has asked washington and the united nations to send hundreds of troops to protect its key infrastructure. following the assassination of president, he drove in the morsey, the u. s. and columbia have already agreed to send intelligence officials to help the investigation. haitian police say they've captured 17 suspects and killed pre the man hunt for 8 others continues moist. he's killing has created a power vacuum. and the turmoil has left many haitians wondering whether they still have a future in their own country. seems outside the u. s. embassy importer, prince, dozens of people have come here. desperate to find a way out the country. the president's s. s. a nation has limitations shocked and fearing for their safety. some say no other solution to flee when

he joins us from tokyo mountain. the olympic flame has arrived in tokyo to quite a lackluster reception. how much enthusiasm overall is there in japan for the games? when i think there is a variety of rather harsh reactions here to the decision yesterday, not to allow any spectators into the stadiums. many japanese who were able to get the tickets 2 years ago, naturally disappointed. and so the $80000.00 volunteers who spent a month preparing and will not have much to do without spectators. and overall, i think there's a sense of defeat here. many japanese still don't want that to happen, so they are dissatisfied and angry. and you can see that on social media and rhetoric, owners complain that they have to close early in the evening and are not allowed to serve. louis, frightens their likelihood. and all of this just for the olympics to be staged. and another part of the public in japan is that the japan has broken its promise to make these games a success with our spectators. that hardly seems possible anymore. and
