figure is likely to rise in the germantown of air start, the scale of the disaster is slowly being revealed. rescue as have spent the day searching so large a vehicle for anyone who didn't make it out alive. that lawson has our port. oh, it was rush hour when the water quickly in a dated highway number 265 near ash stop catching unexpected drivers and passengers by surprise. soldiers and rescue workers tried to reach dropped cars, finding out if everyone made it out in time. we hope that they made it out of their cars, but we are not sure. and we can guarantee that the perhaps people in the cars, we could not check all cars. and if you see the quality of the water, also the check with diversity of no use looking at how challenging it is to free this one highway. it becomes clear that the recovery will take time. it's hard to

imagine the planet of people stuck in traffic when the road suddenly filled up with walker. reinforcements have now come from all over germany, because not only were residents completely taken by surprise by the flock. they also completely overwhelmed government services. during his visit to ash dot german president, frank wild shine maya told survivors they will get help, but have to be patient when decent his is active lock config mind, and his health that has been promised should also be for the communities who in the next days and weeks won't only have to clear up the damage but will also have to rebuild everything. the roads that are destroyed, the bridges that have been swept away. and that's why it is good that such support has been agreed on to set. a landslide buried at least 3 houses in our stop and damaged others. this woman lost, her son was swept away by the mot flow his body as yet to be recovered. she and other residents are anxiously begging authorities to allow them to return to

holland. and how can we proceed? alas, yet when we have nothing we would evacuated, i took a few things. i think it will take 4 to 6 weeks before i can go back. there was no electricity, no water, no gas. the whole infrastructure is down. how is flooring in from a ross, germany for those who had to leave their homes in a hurry with only the clothes they were wearing. people were lucky enough not to be effected, a fall and tearing, to help you. we have clothes, shoes for men, women, and children, everything they need. it's great to see how much support is coming in. the outgoing of solidarity gives hope to those who have not only lost their loved ones, homes are belongings, but also they believe that their town was a safe place to live, steadfast and al jazeera after that, germany. meanwhile, in belgium, at least 27 people there have died since flooding began on wednesday. more than a 100 people though are still unaccounted for. troops have been sent into 4 of the

countries 10 provinces to help with rescue and evacuation efforts. natasha bought the reports now from the city of ledge, where most of the victims have been found. is not much to favor for some residence in this neighborhood of the belgian city of the age. most furniture and appliances are ruined, cause wrecked the flood waters that have caused so much damage have finally subsided. with the clean up has only just begun all it was just for the water covered the cupboards. pascal is still shaken, rising. who is it for her? and the teenage daughter to climb onto the roof, where they were stranded overnight until a neighbor helped rescue them. she says it's only once they were safe, the reality drunk. one of them is all on the product. we have nothing left, no home, no furniture, clothes. it's so hard, but i say to myself, at least i saved my child as a mother, that's the most important. it will be some time before residence in neighbourhood

like this one come to terms with what has happened, but what is lifting spirit is the fact that so many people have come here and rallied around to help hunting out food and water, or lending a hand or nearly every effective st volunteers off the last one is it's about all a derossi's supporting people to show they aren't alone with this devastation when to see all these young people coming to help them during their summer holidays. well it's just amazing and heart warming, belgium's prime minister visited the town of a hospital. he's called the floods unprecedented, but this scientist says climate change is to blame. to go to the critic the rainfall was of course exceptional. but all of our climate data shows that it could happen again. the future emergency work is continued to move people from areas in homes, considered unsafe as they reach regions that were cut off by flood waters. they say they may find more bodies of dozens of people are missing. the hope here though is

that they'll find survivors. natasha butler al jazeera. yes, belgium. all the scientists of long warned that climate change will lead to heavy downpours, but at least some time before we know if it played a role in the flooding across europe. research say a one degree rise. in average, global temperature, temperatures increases the atmosphere capacity to hold water by 7 percent raising the chance of heavy rainfall events like this one. the average global temperature is now about $1.00 degrees celsius above the pre industrial average. modeling of more than $400.00 weather events from storms to drought and heat waves is found that 70 percent were made more likely or more severe by human caused climate change . a say that events like the recent record breaking heat wave in the us and canada, or at least a $150.00 times more likely to occur because of climate change or get younger and

oldenburg is a senior rosette. sure. at the dutch royal meteorological institute joins us now from the netherlands via skype. so i'm sure you've had a chance to reflect on the human toll of what we've just seen, playing out in western germany and, and belgium, many lives have been lost. people is still missing and then the scenes of devastation of infrastructure, roads, bridges, houses, or completely destroyed. how, how do you explain the intensity of what we've seen? well, of course the, the impact is surrendered. hadn't ever expected to, to have too many casualties in the fence. so i applauding events and yeah, with, with collaboration call world, rather retribution. and we aim to time to connection to climate change to these kinds of extreme events about 50 short time scale. and we just finished the heat in

the northwest and northern america like a week ago. and, but we will probably decide tomorrow to take this one as well because it is so big . when you say it's just i beg, how does it compare to to past weather events, because we know that in places like germany, belgian certainly here in the u. k. your country, the netherlands, you probably have some sort of rain in the summer anyway. how does what we've just seen compared to the sort of patterns of the past? well, i don't have a full data yet. him right now, busy downloading and converting the german rein daytime and requested to belgium, read data, one measure, wrist at the peak and turn off the discharge of the paper most in the netherlands is the highest ever observed. and that is just from the belgian part of the precipitation in germany was much worse. well this extreme or flooding happen on,

on a regular basis. do you think that people and perhaps more importantly, governments and certainly local governments for provincial authorities need to somehow prepare and build up resilience. could this happen every year? what we don't know yet, i mean every year, definitely not. it's such a rare event. the problem is that yes, there is this deck around raising of the bar all through the world of the 7 percent per degree. and there's recent research by my colleague powder from new castle that yeah, depressions moves more slowly and condemned more rain at the same place for or longer time. so also increasing your rank. but when we did the prince's study of the elder flats of 2012, we could find no influence of climate change. apparently, there are other factors that the depressed the number again. and so it really depends on the regional the season. whether there's an increase status or to cut

off global average or 7 percent per degree or more because of the stalling of depressions or whether there are factors that actually increase it like curry can harvey over use than which was 15 percent. are there other factors that decrease it to, to 0 percent we, we just don't know until we've done the calculations. so in that sense, if you say that in some cases era, there are other factors. so it's not just about collecting evidence on the pressure that human beings have putting on the climate system. if the, sorry i meant that there are other effects of climate change not effect and, and reinforce or counter act, the policies, cup, roll 7 percent, pedigree guide just just to be clear, then how a human activity making things how's human activity making things was how a we contributing to more extreme weather patterns and that regular occurrence.

well, emitting lots of c o 2 and methane and other greenhouse gases. and that base to global mean temperature. and because the atmospheres warmer it can hold more water and that has been shown gets for extreme short duration, rain events like monday, that also means step more water comes down in extreme showers like these. but there are indirect effects. like there is also evidence that the jet stream is slowing down into summer and hence depressions don't cool so quickly and condemn more rain on the same place basically because they just staying there for longer and their brain the last for longer and you get more water down and there are other effects like in colorado, there's more to chums, well high pressure and you are blessed chance of rain. and we have to take all of these effects into accounts before we can say how much this was due to climate change of air, certain trends in place that had difficult her of us. now if for example,

human activity was to suddenly change and emissions were rapidly decline, would it make any difference? well, it would stay at the current high level. so we had more heat waves, which are also really deadly. made many hundreds of people, possibly thousands of people died in the heat way for 3 weeks ago. so we're separate that for sure. and because emissions will only go to 0 very slowly, but they're still like to know that c o 2 concentration is still rising. not going down and or they increase is still rising. as long as we admit fossil fuels temperature gluco up, it will not go down. so we're step, but we have now when we step with probably a lot more b before we go to net 0. thank you very much, appreciate and joining us on the news. our tonight eat, john van alden,

by joining us staff from dutch royal. meet your article in situ time. i didn't miss . pronounce your name too badly. thank you. you're welcome with the news, our life from london still i had for you on the program. the highlands government is accused of trying to cover up the true scale of its corona virus crisis, as cases that hit another record high. also the 1st positive covered 900 cases reported inside the athlete olympic village in tokyo. general have the details of that story much more in the sport. ah, now delegation from africa government and the taliban stay focused on peace as a whole negotiations and kept up. the tours concluded today, but they are taking place against a backdrop of rising violence across the country. the talents taken advantage of the u. s. troop withdrawal. launching several offensive and capturing swathes of

the country, particularly around strategic border areas all throughout the process. they've been for main sticking points between the taliban and the african government. the great ones for it cause a genuine islamic system in the country, wants to establish an interim government to include a high council of clerics. and while it's taking more territory on the ground, i also want to increase their political influence. taliban is demanding a power sharing agreement with the african government. but campbell has so far, refused on both sides of negotiated a series of prison. this was an attempt to agree a sci fi, even if it's a temporary one. and the afghan government says that it wants the rights of women to be fully respected. it says a 3rd of all civil servants. currently women. it's almost in july, has worn out from those talks in doha. as they were concluded of the talks between the taliban and representatives from a finest on the number of issues were discussed,

including the release of prisoners d listing from united nations list talk. there was talk about amending the constitution and all inclusive government and political roadmap to words piece the taliban. insisting that before the talk, there's a discussion about if cease fire across the renaissance needs to be an inclusive government, which represents all segments of the gun society. not specifying how they're going to achieve it, but one thing that as the 1st step, but they've also been saying that because such a high power delegation has come to the country capital, they're willing to discuss everything that they are bringing to the tables. we hope and we won't, and we, we expect that to be, should have brought something to get them in time. and on our side, we are ready to show flexibility. and our aim is clear, and that is to have an islamist on a crusade was meant in place in apply nissan and put an end to this phase of

piping and into a new piece which will be our piece and word for it. as the fall of on discuss the situation on the ground in afghanistan has been deteriorating. there are people who have been expressing their concerns about how taliban have been dig or not just district, but provincial capital, as well as coming to words the capital capital as well. we asked the minister for peace about what his hope is from this level of talks, as they're definitely not going to be conclusive in 48 hours. but he thinks that he, what he wants the other side to realize is that there is no there's no solution by force to atlanta signs problem. and the only way ahead is true. the go see ation. we have to keep the door off. it is ocean open because the solution to the conflict is not violent for the solution is actually

a meaningful negotiation. to be very frank with you, we've been quite flexible also tolerance since the start of the talk. so what's important is that i call upon the taliban to show the same flexibility, the same understanding that they need to understand that to have the intention of taking that kind of thing by force is not going to work on saturday. these talks are going to be concluded, they are being closely monitored by the united states, the european union, as well as the host in all sides. not directly part of the negotiations for doing what they can to try and persuade all sides shorter strain to show flexibility to try and think of the gone people. because as this fight is ongoing, as the united states is all set to leave by september, the 11th the people on the ground in the gun to sign and afraid they are thinking that they might use all of the hard for freedom that day with you. in the last 20

years and on the taliban side, trying to tell them that there is no forceful solution to venice on and peace will only come when all sides sit on the negotiation stable. they continue their work by talking to each other and come to a consensus on bringing peace to understand, well turning to development in cuba. now the former president row castro is a paid alongside his success and miguel diaz canal at large pro government riley and havana. the iron communist government is pushing back against suggestions of widespread discontent off the anti government protest. thousands of people took to the streets last sunday to demonstrate against the government's handling of the pandemic. and the economic crisis, which has resulted in crippling shortages of basic goods cuban government as accuse the united states of being behind the protest. what i show, no, my mom, we have come together once again to denounce the u. s. blockade aggression and terror. not we could not put off this rally enemy who once again,

given everything to destroy the sacred unity and peace of citizen. earlier we spoke to read lindsey, a journalist based in atlanta, with the new media organization, belly of the beast, and told us that cuban authorities are critical of the impact of social media on the protest. foreign ministers, both the data for journals, here to the government, wasting. ready a big news campaign and presented slide, showing our or thousands of going out a creative 6 social media campaign which, which was going on when, when the us broke out. and, and it seems, seems like the 2 things are connected. there is a lot of it's very difficult to know what is going on a lot of them. ready are swelling around, i saw today information my end based media, but the covers cuba saying that there were the common way as a liberated,

liberated. but then i made. ready us off by photograph come away, police station street seems very calm and talk to people come away, said that they were normal there and that there was a tooth from the state authority to say government say, i don't believe fake news in the midst of all that it's not just social media now that internet is down. generally, i've got internet here at the office here, but industry cell data is pretty much off the people. so it's hard to say connected hard to know what's going on. exactly. but overall, then i was calling today and it's sort of day to day here in cuba. amnesty international is saying that about 200 people is still in jail. following those protests al jazeera spoke to 2 cubans who have been released, john home, and has that story. now, cries of liberty rent the air in cuba this sunday, and the biggest protests in more than 25 years. they blame the government

for chronic shortages of food medicine and the lack of freedom of expression that it quickly hit back for police and government supporters taking on those cooling for change human rights organizations say hundreds with door and in jail. ringback now al jazeera is make contact with 2 of them who have phillips mask is, was released on wednesday. he told us he wasn't even protesting and was arrested for taking photos of government supporters arriving in laurie's. they took my cell phones and grap carried me. they put me in a car, the energy ministry handcuffed me and took me to the police station. he believes that we caught cove it. he tested positive when he got out in a cell the size of a room, there were about 100 people. i was standing up unable to move shoulder to shoulder with them, but he says on the people fed worse. he broke someone's nose in front of me,

and they did it very consciously because they always avoided doing it in front of the cameras. the president admitted some state failings, but insist shortages of the full of a long term us embargo. and that protested with a violent model up a sort of hagel. these people attended or participated in the event with the vendor and shouting for lynchings. union garcia, a play right. so the government that is simply abandoned the people wonder, say when fidel castro started the revolution. he said it was with the pole by the pole and for the pole. but now the pole are in jail. this revolution died and i'm pointing to history. and what we have now is an elite group of people in power who don't want to lose it in any way. he and of the protest is demanded 15 minutes where time and stay tv, to reply to the accusations against them. this is them being costed often trucks to

jail. instead, we didn't have access to a lawyer or the chance of a phone call. our families didn't know where we'd been taken out, and we didn't know what would happen to us. he was set free a day later. now he says he's effectively under house arrest. it's something the amnesty international says is become common in a country long and tolerant of descent. when talking about a site that doesn't lesson and doesn't know how to dialogue. and that's a real concern because we saw the president some days ago about the streets belonging to missionaries as if the street doesn't belong to other people. of course, with the demands of those and turn it to the voices light. you know, the simple wow. 7 cargo morgan, i want to mock christine liberty election and into the u. s. and ball going into the sooner it comes, the better. none of those things like moving any closer present. john homan does

either south africa, police minister says the rise in racial tensions in some communities is a cause of great concern. more than 200 people recently killed in writing and losing that is swept through parts of the country over the past week, prompting different communities to set up vigilante groups to defend their homes and businesses. bernard smith, now reports and they just noted and looted until the durbin has been quieter these last couple of days. but it's a calm sometimes and forced at gunpoint. read one jets. i'm managed to protect his business, but so many others looted and burned. it was the, the mob themselves that called all the destruction and cause harm to themselves because we, we attacked and we had people put open fire on us. and which we basically have to see have got ourselves by the hiding behind walls and building the writing was sparked by the jailing, a form of precedent jacob's duma and expanded to include wider grievances it unleashed racial tensions, but always sim, up and neat. the surface here about my god, the minister of police,

toward durban townships on saturday, promising to investigate crimes committed by all communities. kaylee's as a team of detectives is investigating the deaths of 20 black people after confrontations with a neighboring indian majority township. but it's clear, there is anger here that is hard to contain. no, it looks difficult, but we are working together. we are working with the community. we go out to the streets, to speak to other people. we've got a problem with social media. social media is the main cause of this because people are reacting to use why minority rule and it nearly 30 years ago. but most south africans still live in racially separated townships or suburbs that were created by the parties government. the fears of the only supermarket in a 4 kilometer radius wasn't ransacked because it was defended by the owners and local businesses. south africa state insurance says it's expecting claims to top

$700000000.00 at night turbans different communities still closing themselves in behind their own checkpoints, outside elements that are coming here and get very upset when we have to awesome. what is the purpose? yes, people here are worried, there's more trouble to come. it's not, not 15 down, no one to see, and that's the consent. they are. it is which if g davis seems so continuing, and they want to keep that just hours after south africa's president sat on friday night, but calm had been restored. this market was fireball. bernard smith, i'm just sarah durban, south africa in watching the news, our life in london stood ahead. will bring you our report from northern ethiopia when mass graves about witness to a bloody episode and the to grind conflicts. and a sprint to the line is for me to one changes,

it's quantifying format to make it more exciting. general, how about the details in a bit? ah ah, there is still rain floating around the same culpable depression that brought the flooding. the extraordinary rain in germany, it's sitting nerve the gym and i was circulating around it will give something of a flood threat to croatia. basil has got it but not the same degree. about half the amount of the amount of rain fell in germany will, is destined view of the west balcony, which means things improve germany, the netherlands and belgium, in fact advancing its warming up slightly. and that has been the story of europe until that flooding outbreak. we've seen warmth and east of the balkan states up to

scandinavia, and the office has been the case further west that's changing dramatically. now, helsinki, it's cooling down little bit, not quite from reco values, but from high values down to average. whereas in london, as an example of western europe, we're up to 30 this weekend, not a record well above where it's been for the whole of this year. that's larger of wards extends all the way down through france and covers spain. the res, i said concentrating in the balkans, leaving most a central europe behind rein in africa sees no rain has been that is heaviest. recently on the coast of nigerian donna that is a major runway. it's closed the across the world, young activists and organizers, the rhonda most motivated and politically engaged, the challenges they face couldn't be more daunting here. and we were the one who

had life on what was going on. and the way that means to me there's nothing so think about them, and there's always in the dynamics formation. we have the agencies to create the vibe of generation. we change on al jazeera award winning programming from international. so make it one quick. so it's straight on the back to the federal global. that doesn't guarantee that the, the, the right to 65 life giving voice to the voice here in california. it's almost everybody's a paycheck away from being on house program that open your eyes. you know, if you, well today, this is what the picture looks like. see the world from a different perspective on houses. there's oh, the.
