my car in the carriage is totally destroyed. there was water all the way up to here . well some streets in the area is still flooded, and roads are still inaccessible to cause and vehicles. and that is why the only way of accessing some houses is by boat. well, the prime minister felton has called these floods unprecedented and schooled for dave national morning on july 20th for the victims. were you being commissioned chief says that the subs that if it's germany, belgium and another ones that are clear indication of climate change, there's calling for urgent action. the commission has already activated the mechanisms to support and help those member states in this very, very difficult, catastrophic scenario. but it is the intensity. and the length of these events with cy into science tells us it's

a clear indication of climate change. and that this is something where we really, really, it shows the urgency to, to act so buffy. oper. com is a professor of hydraulics antibiotics structures at the university of liaison in belgium. and we can talk to not thank you very much indeed for being with us on. i'll just 0. if i understand correctly, there's have floods back in 1994, but the devastation wasn't nearly as bad as we're seeing now. what's the difference this time around? reasoning, one of the 1st gave every phase of the resources are much more stream but then 1924. so for me the main reason. so if you've ever got 3 fargo expectations of fargo

experience in the countries, um what about the cities flood defense is if it had any where are they able or should they have been able to cope with this? and clearly they didn't. why not? so in fact, from the newer tributaries, different, different system was not designed for such an extreme. so the event was design area was the reverse of every song you said when even was free because we already experience this john, the $93.00. we're at the moment one done renovation, just dos, you know, the city and down which we control. what gonna hurt because of these renovations and done? doesn't shock explain why for discharge. so you know what they're really good

in the past. we have such high what because i'll be done or just going to renovation. so we have to be on the fargo and. and i would say that the respective renovation would be can you tell me how long the renovation on that down have been going on for before? because if i understand what you're saying, if the dam had been functioning properly, the impact of this water would have been significantly less. yes, this is going to be done. no interaction with that interaction with no why we're going to her. so that means in renovation for 2 years,

duration of the renovation is 3 years given they, we've hired a lot of speculation that this kind of event is going to become there's going to happen more often. our city is likely a is going to have to start looking at improving the dams on the water, the flood prevention systems that they have and spending a lot more money on protecting the cities and the tributaries. so book shows can be a consequence of gaming change. and so i see sexual readers for formica things to, to upgrade the different vista to be able to and with the to i'm doing now just that what we can do at the moment. so that's an epic on we appreciate you being with us and i'll just thank you very much. indeed sir. you went from 20 more ahead on the news including senate all tries to stay ahead of demand for mobile oxygen

the premise thinking that everyone must give me just a good thing that can be told to do whatever they want. so that's why does not actually takes us. yes or whatever is happening is i was wondering in the way that you wanted to be us been out. ok. and that's how i can actually define is his response in the ways to the nation today. given the fact that as far as i understand that the, the king has, as you say, absolute power in that he has the final decision on almost every decision that is made in the country. how, how much do you think it is likely that you are going to be able to force change within expertise in a given the fact that there is so much power centered on the king? where today he goes all the rooms for carlo and the net bush issued supplements

with the people of what the because we all hope will that may be 2 days nor a same do not to target the condo for it's to be part of the process. know, to lead to data day to dialogue agenda negotiation. but to day close to all that, you know, by insulting the people making more of the whole process by the, to make it west, you know, to dave the people of what they call in 4 days of their payment by today, nor to prove them that they're not being just appointed another me to be paid menus . so i think is those all the rooms look and negotiations and i think size is now live to nothing but also an option of going to district until he actually was out of the punch. so i don't think he's willing to talk, it doesn't, didn't fix it, ask you, he does not want to talk to dialogue and there's only one way out now because of

the people they remain on the street to demand for a general watch in mind. and your democrat to get this issue in the couch that has already been a great deal of violence on the streets and i've seen estimates the damage that is being caused during the protest is around 200000000 dollars. how far are the demonstrators under protesters prepared to go to try to change things in s for teeny where they are people that makes the majority of the country, nor to mines, not to allow all says, you know, to be able to or just meant, know it's only in the way your, the ration of the population of god not saying to how it's you know, saw this taking just what you need to run to run the list, you know,

where they are or the most efficient. but yeah, because you cannot continue to live, you know, in the stage of religion says in poverty, you know, must be an oppressed. so these are getting back to where we are right now. what you're left with is just by just trying to find new forms of strategies or to be applicable. and let me just one question. before i let you go, we have, we're reporting that there have been dozens of people allegedly killed as part of the process. are the protest. organize is prepared to allow more people in expertise to die in order to force change. know the people are killed by the arm and so i was actually just pace, you know, the army to peacefully put just us that just been going on the streets to demand for dialogue in mind for them across. so is the 1st of its kind to him. so this was

a mission, that's the army. then even the king to so much people you know, they're talking about. so when the people that just been killed by the army, that you've been better than confirmed, quoted to some of the people. so if no one wants to pay more people, you know, for other people to be able to get it done, it's going to be open his head this way. i put him on de, just another court to look into his case to say, how can it this page and i'm going to go and should, you know, we'd like france, no history for just us. just reminding you know, to their own, to have democracy if they don't give you. all right. so that is why j h is in when i started, when people to the kids, we don't want to because you know which one is meant to ask for the past. it is old. we have been leading bits were struck by them. so ideas been, i'm starting, you know, i'm wondering when you are yes, we were tallied with imprisonment with the also the must people. so these that if

you would just under protest does not want to kill and the much back. so don't, i mean thank you for joining us and all the 0. no, thank you very much bye. so if i, because president says it's economic recovery is being hit after a week of violence and looting that's killed at least $212.00 people settles. i'm opposed to says the unrest was planned and coordinated, and that authorities have identified 12 suspects. the president says 25000 soldiers will patrol the streets to stop more stealing and fighting brides, began after former president, jacob zillow was sent to jail last week. president trauma post is used to address the nation later. the sound founded smith is included in the towel where the president spoke earlier. he has this update on the shortage of basic goods because of the ryans people's been queueing here for hours for bread and of a basic is one of the only shops and petrol stations that wasn't torn in the looting and writing that swept through this part of durban,
