we understand the differences, similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter what, i'll just bring you the news and current affairs. the matter to you. i'll just i me more than 100 people killed and hundreds, missing off the flooding in europe. and so was weather dissolved in germany for decades. ah. hello there, mr. payne, this is al jazeera life and our home also coming up. so the african president vows he will not allow an okey as the clean up continues from days of reducing and rioting. we had red access inside a contract zone in northern ethiopia,

yes, lots of people still missing and only very, very slowly, the sheer devastation of this disaster is coming to the surface. as i can say, people are really picking up their pieces. these houses are still standing, but you can see from the lions on the walls, how high this water had struck against these walls of up to 4 meters high. these houses are very near to the river, and people have been telling me there was this sudden sudden rise of the water undone at really the current was very strong. they had to flee, and many were able to, to evacuate themselves, but sadly, nearby. and it's a place we can't even reach now because the bridges are broken. at least 12 people died in a house for this able people. so that's a very sad news from this place called since that here. and what we can hear from

most people we're talking to is that there will really, really surprised by the amount of the water, as you can see in our report, this is what residents and storm battery part of germany woke up to as rapid rainfall cause major rivers to birthday bang a few from the ear showing the full extent of the devastation in the states of rhineland for la nate and north ryan west valia. c costs were tossed around like toys in the rising water, homes and businesses washed away. as the flooding in some areas receipts that so rises with several people still missing. rescue efforts are on the way to bring this trying to safety. and village is cut off by flood water and landslide helicopters, pluck, people from their rooftop i was told to give to you see here now is worse than

after a bombing raid. and this is guaranteed to take 10 years. the people are all broke. the businesses have been hurt, so it's just horrible. now. on a visit to the united states, the german chancellor promised to do everything possible to help. and for the mention in, in boston's ca, beaten is a terrible day. so people in flooded areas. my thoughts with you and you can trust that all forces of our government, federal, regional, and community will do everything in difficult conditions to save lives, alleviate dangers and relieve distress over the border in neighboring belgium flood waters, read through villages, sip, merging homes that mean we don't do all around midnight. i heard a scary noise. i looked through the window and i saw that there was a torrent of water, at least 50 to 60 centimeters, the water. and in the netherlands, several care homes were evacuated with some local residents, draven by tract to safety. people who have really been taken by surprise,

they've never seen so much water inundating their cities and driving them away from their home. extreme web platter has been paralyzing large parts of this border region here, between belgium, germany, and the national and more to renshaw. rain is forecast and with it fears of for devastation, it's been called the ones in a generation flood and it isn't over yet. step we were saying earlier, it's really just been a day since the european union announced that you draft of climate change proposals . i imagine that people there are now feeling that action is pretty urgent. well, absolutely, yeah, good speaking to people here, well live here, their whole lives like that. we've never seen a thing like this. and of course, global warming then easily comes to my why not a person told me, i hope this is a wake up call for politicians who really actually start doing things. of course,

this is the 1st time that's really in their face here, because of course, we know of this office in less developed parts of the world. but this is right here in the west of europe, where this off i've hit, that hasn't seem to scale for very long time. but in the meantime, of course, these people are 1st worried about their belongings, their homes, and also still about safety ref. banks are still on the pressure. dams are still under pressure. the rain has now stopped, but it's still quite some concern about the days to come. of course and step he was saying that you yourself couldn't reach and they a nearby village because bridges were broken just how accessible all parts of the country at the moment, especially as so many people are still missing that it's very difficult to get around here. last night i was in another pod nor time was fall and there was hardly any road that was still left functioning. and there were lots of highways also block. so it's very difficult for rescue workers to even

get to this area and then not a problem, of course is also supplies. so people are really looking for food and for, for, for water because they had been out of supplies for a while already. so that's not a very urgent thing happening here. no internet, no communication lines. we are lucky to get some communication right here. but lots of other parts are still completely locked off. so also people who are really a nice people who have been casualties or wondered injured from this disaster. it's very hard to reach them, of course, steadfast, and there was all the lessons from the ground in sins is in germany for us. thanks so much step. speaking of being cut off, we can now speak of it's in coma. he is a resident of the asian belgian, and he is currently stuck in his apartment and he joins us now from the ban. let me start by asking you, how are you and your housemaid doing the cabella? i would say we are safe so far. the house is trapped into surrounded by water from

front street. at the same time, at the back yard you can see famine. it started yesterday and but we have electricity, but the water supply is if you have some impurity and we have limited supply, the situation will not improve. we are not sure about for the processes and they are recreating what recreate into a nearby gymnasium. but that has a capacity than them. at the same time, there is genic issues because there are so many people in gymnasium. so and yesterday it was really horrible. i'm and i saw 2 worlds crossing the water. many speed was so high, the fell down for some i managed to help them to cross the street, elderly women in the neighborhood. they were crying, but they could not tell them. i mean to speak, what was really high. i live in, can i ask you a little more about what you've been seeing there from your window and whether or not you're in touch with anyone else nearby, who are also trapped how other people around you doing?

well, they are recreating to be what questing them to read and i, i took some pictures of your question, i'm getting call from my friends and neighborhood. they're also prepping their houses. actually one of my colleagues, she lives at the bottom near germany are also completely submerged and there was a gas blast in our neighborhood, one person died and one elderly person is in good condition due to lack of oxygen. so situation is not going to hear. you mentioned that you were concerned about supplies, clean water, and there are evaluations taking place. what do you actually hearing from the government all day, reaching out to you and making sure that you have the things you need and, and making sure that you will face. yeah, they are actually sending text messages to the residents, the p if someone need fell, we can contact what we know that, that so, so i'm, and as much as we have food supply, it's better to stay at home because there are so many people in those 3 question

camps and it will not be that hygiene. i think so. so far we have surfaced the pin to mother resident who lives in belgium. i have very glad to hear that you are safe and we hope very much that you say that way. and thanks for joining us and giving us your time today. thank you. i'm moving on and south africa as president says it's economic recovery has been hit after a week of violence and loosing. that's killed at least 117 people. so we're, i'm opposed to says the unrest with planned and coordinated and authorities of identified 12 suspects. the president now also says $25000.00 soldiers will now be patrolling the streets to stop further losing in violence. rights began after former president, jacob's duma was sent to jail last week. and it's quite clear that this all these incidents of unrest and looting were instigated instigators. people who planned it coordinated it hurt us as across this for us from

johannesburg. how, after all the chaos that we saw last week, i imagine people that really wanting some reassurance from government. what else to run the place. i have to say that well is the 1st time me visited was a tall province since the unrest started. so he went into a big shopping wall in the area that was destroyed by the leasing and the violence he spoke to business owners than they were asking him. what is the government going to do to assist business as we've lost everything? what is the government going to do to make sure that people are protected? should looters come back and raised whatever's left to be taken? that all those questions to answer, but he admitted that he feels that his government may be reacted to slow in terms of preventing math looting and mass destruction. he's there, you go to the ploy or soldiers, but he also is concerned that he's his people for me which allows to groups should

also be careful about going off the tried to protect themselves using force. he's concerned that is racial tension in some part of the country as people turned against each other way he visited in that area, marsh durbin, kazan province. it's a place where most of the violence happened is the place where most people died. so it's a situation that for quite a while as hell they, although as part of was the, was a few days ago, we are being told it is so raggedly thing here and there, but not as bad as it was when the and with 1st started as you say her, he was in chrome usher and was in a tall but you're enjoy. but whether it has also been violence. how people that coping well now job has a sense of people trying to start over again. cleaning up if you go into the streets with a post has happened, you see people sweeping the streets, cleaning the debris, business owners, try to come back, open the shop, salvaging what they can, trying to restock and move forward. but bill,

a sense of shock as well because some people are like, well i've, i've known these dollars for a number of years, a voice shop to now it's gone away. am i going to go and do my shopping questions? i've been asked as, as to what actually led to the violence from faith, poverty inequality from faith about jailing the for president, jacob zima. the government seems to think there is an elements in the country that's trying to sabotage the economy, trying to sabotage the government. people are asking, then if that is the case, who are these people and what will be done if they are in the court? interesting questions of accountability that hiring the household overlays as far as from how does back thanks so much harry. well, the lady handle is south africa, foreign minister, and she says, the priority right now is to restore order across the country. i don't think that there were indications that this type of trouble was brewing. you should, i think except that some of the looting that we've seen in dream,

the people taking advantage of the situation, their i and deed instigators in terms of those who are gathering in support of former president. soon they weren't significant and you paid to the crowns. and the warning, i've heard that our security has indicated that they had some interest in the intended security personnel. the police speaking out in town, in some of the areas that was suggested to be bothered, but no one could have predicted. what we saw a lot of which was several criminal is taking advantage of a variable or concentration. while stephanie, we've taken steps to restore stability and concern in the region. we've got to ensure that the transport routes, operational,

that deliveries can take place. and countries that rely on south africa for a large amount of schools do receive the goods that they require from south africa . so this is the top most of the agenda government. but what we'll have to do is ensure we address the criminal team, we prostitute, those that have been arrested, and those scenes stolen goods from those parts of the future. hostile ahead here on out of here, taking on the sensors, the lebanese film director who sees government intervention as a personal challenge. ah, ah, it's time for the journey to with sponsored by capital airways.

been targeted and thank you. at least 11 reporters covering the conflict in the northern region. now, while some of them have been released on bail, the group says hundreds still remain in detention and unknown locations. while the deputy president of each year appears in horror region front, amanda for has told out there that additional forces have been deployed to the borders with t grey. it's to counter decry and fight as you launched a new offensive earlier this week. well out there i got read government access to a disputed region in western te gray from where catherine soy now reports i'm horace special forces and the few p and federal police. at a checkpoint in my car, they're passing through require identification papers who won't rare, regional government guided trip. but even filming the forces and militia called funnel was difficult. the town claimed by both the em. hara, anti grand ethnic communities was under

t guys administration before the war started in november. it's one of the, was the atrocities happened. hundreds of people were killed. the communities accuse each other's fighters of committing it. gathered mass gal manghese to a farmer says a dispute about regional buddha territories goes back decades. yet i thought all the glade leaders want to come on for sure. but we, the already created a system, but fewer than $1.00 to $1.00 and the power would not visit our land to gran fighters and now pushing south and west, they say to taking back territory seized by higher forces in the last 8 months of conflict. political and military leaders in the capital by harder i get increasingly nervous about the gains being made by great defense forces. they'll say they'll do whatever it takes to protect their land. and people who are the regions vice president shoes as a 1985 map that places much of the dispute territories in hiero region. the

borderline, however, since been redrawn, he thousands when the t cry people's liberation front or t p are left to power. then next to the land to take, right, we have never, ever accepted the amount of people in the regional government has endorsed it. we have never been consulted. so whenever you say historical disputes as it, it takes you some time years to behind. and one time it was there, another time it was here, that's what you call dispute. it has never been. so it couldn't be just a dispute. it was rather taken unit 30 by the time period if it was decided warm higher forces and now being deployed to the front lines. but the vice president also called on people here to defend themselves. i think they, they should be aware of and it will be informed be on the same platform that is where whenever the address of scam athletes, they have to prepare themselves in any way it to defend in any mechanism that they

have to take up on. yes, many grants who lived in my car there and then nearby whomever, a town house led to refugee comes across the border in sudan, who still here recently held protest against the guys political leadership and its forces. it was not clear to us if they were on the streets willingly or had been classed. every interview we tried to do was in the presence of a minder with a gun that the grounds were afraid to speak openly. captain, sorry, all jazeera, i'm horror region. if you know a pulitzer prize winning indian photo journalist has been killed in afghanistan, kandahar district donors for the he worked for the reuters news agency and was riding with the african special forces he was cause in the crossfire between taliban and afghan troops in the spin bolduc chairman border area. well, there are warnings that the,

such for the unmarked graves of indigenous children and canada will still discover many more victims. more than a 1000 have been found so far, but resolved to say they still expecting to find many more, alexia bryan, for each leg marks a grave. a child, a story, and members of canada's indigenous groups want those stories heard. you are bearing witness to a very important truth about indigenous people and canada. it has been referred to as a historic dark chapter from the 19th century, more than 150000 indigenous children attended state funded christian boarding schools in an effort to assimilate them into mainstream canadian society. the children was separated from their families, languages and traditions. the last school closed and 996. i gotten so many beatings for speak my language that i'm sure that there's

a subconscious block that just another allow me to do it. thousands of them with physically and sexually abused or died of disease. we were giraffe and be you could scream and scream your vision, no one there to come to your help. in 2008, the canadian government officially apologized for its part and launched an inquiry to investigate. hundreds of remains of unmarked grace had been found at former residential schools in recent months. using ground penetrating radar researches say, many of the graves were shallow and line with reports from survivors. the children were forced to dig them. they warned the discovery so far adjust the beginning. there are very likely to be many human burials in the study area. after all this investigation has barely scratched the surface covering just under 2 acres of the total $160.00 acre residential school sites. indigenous leaders have called on

prime minister at johnston trudeau, and the catholic church which ran many of the schools to open the records immediately and fully for all the remains can be identified. the responsibility of our children is their families, their community. so her birth was good. sure and up and down are we're not going to come up here. are want the truth out my going to be strong. oh, oh i history of heard shared by generations to promise to honor those who never came home. like sir, bryan al jazeera oh,

i'm leaving on and kyla and has posted a record daily high of corona virus infections has concern mounts about delays and vaccine deliveries. more than $9600.00 cases were reported in the last 24 hours. and on thursday, astrazeneca asked for an extension on the delivery of 61000000 vaccine doses. tony chang has the laces from bangkok. i think if you look back 12 months ago, people here were reading stories about cities like new york, where ambulances were racing through empty streets with people infected with cove at 19. now they're saying that here themselves, and it's a real problem. as you mentioned today with another grim reco tyler, and we've seen that broken several times this week, or so the number of daily deaths from cove at 19 that speed increasing. we haven't quite hit the 10000 mark of daily infections that the government thought we will be getting to at some stage this week,

but that is just around the corner. we're at 9600 today. and i think there's also a mounting sense of frustration here with the government. we've seen the tiny government announced this week that they want to promoter a cocktail of different vaccines. that something that w h o says is not advisable, but tenens is very much vague based as vaccination program on sign back in astrazeneca. well, the sign it appears not to be performing very well, particularly with those people who have the delta variance. i think the government's trying to cover itself by giving people who have had a 1st sign of astrazeneca afterwards. but these are 2 very different vaccines in the medic professions concerned about that. none the less, while the tie government has said it's trying to source other vaccines, they haven't yet arrived and they won't get here until later in the year. and i think that's a real problem. we've also seen bad economic news, economic projections for this year scale back from 3.4 percent growth down to 2.2.

and i think that's a reflection of the fact that this process, which many people thought was going to be easing this year, is going on with those locked downs in place with the restrictions on travel and with the tourist spent. no ones coming in to thailand. the economy is not looking good for the foreseeable future. while meanwhile, the return of the confound civil after 2 years have says, has been a welcome birth to many filmmakers. 70 is born director daniel r b. it has been a long time regular with films that often reflect her conflicted relationship with her own country of bass. she spoke with natasha about care about her latest project . don't. didn't. down in johnson county leads to a love affair in the field. a simple passion, a story based on a french novel movie, is by french, lebanese director daniel outbid, has been coming to can since the start of her career 20 years ago. this is a magical place. you feel that in every 3 of this city,

more and and even more risky firm. yeah. countries should be more open, especially in the middle east. i think a risk taker and a romantic up, it is working on 3 new feature films in lebanon, and in frogs, hopes that they will seduce cinema, go bring it back to can again next year. tasha butler sera can, ah, hello, this is al jazeera and these are the headlines, more than 1700 people and are missing in western europe after severe flooding. and these $103.00 have died in germany, which is experiencing its west. c whether disaster and decades that boston has worn out from bonds in germany. people are basically locked up in that area. you could see the extent of the damage.
