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 lines on the walls, how high this water had struck against these walls 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 and then it 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 disabled people. so that's a very sad news from this place called since sick here. and what we can hear from most people we're talking to is that they will really, really surprised by the amount of the water people here was left here,

their whole life 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 author, us hits that hasn't seen the scale for a very long time. but in the meantime, of course, these people are 1st worried about their belongings, their homes, and also still about safety. repre 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. now, belgium's also been hit by the devastating floods in the province of leanne. 20 deaths have been confirmed while at least 14 others are missing. around 10 houses were swept away by 2 inch rain in the eastern city. a vast people from more than a 1000 homes have been forced to flee. let's say within and how shall but our

devastated. many people have not relatives, others a wondering where they have relatives or loved ones all. and of course there are people that have just lost their homes and all their possessions were here by the river. this is the river, mostly this is really where this rising water is coming from. this is a real risk. if you like in the front of the 55 step out of the way, you will see just how far the water is flowing behind me. in a few moments ago, we for the 3 branches, we saw a fridge going off the path of what seems to be a construction for it's not temporary, of course is adding it risks to the rescue operation that he's carrying on here. now as i said, some of the worst affected neighborhoods in this, if the, all, just a little bit up the river where 3 to completely merge and we spent the rest and back in tomorrow. he's stuck at the top of his home. he says he doesn't want to leave for me now because he feels more comfortable being they don't want to be in

the shelter. nevertheless, it has been a really difficult experience for him. let's take a listen. i would say we are safe so far over house is trapped it to surrounded by water from front street at the same time at the back yard. you can see, i mean it started yesterday and but we have electricity, but the water supply is less some impurity and we have limpid pool supply. if the situation will not improve, we are not sure about, for the processes. i mean, they are recreating people. what did recreating to a nearby gymnasium, but that has a capacity then at the same time, there is timing issues because there are so many people in japan as you. so 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 have them to cross the street, elderly women in the neighborhood. they were crying, but they could not tell them i'm in the spin, was really high. they are recreating to be requesting them to quit and i,

days now right now. so that also some respite. that is good. of course, but we know that that search and rescue operation will continue in the air on the ground that even drones are being used to try to pay the area to try and see if they're all survivors. to try my power to exactly the situation on the ground. this is an emergency situation failed to authorities of telling people to say a way not just from some of the high risk areas, but they also telling people not to come to belgium unless they really need this. i'm sure butler in the ash in belgium. thanks very much for the update books, i find another ones, people that are starting to clean up past the flood waters received. residents have been warned to seek refuge until friday afternoon, but many business owners returned to the shop. so soon as the rain stopped at least one bridge in the southern city, a vulcan berg was destroyed while several nursing homes also evacuated
