to me is talking to people understanding what they're going through here. it does either. we believe everyone has a story worth hearing. ah, western europe flooding crisis spreads to new regions after more than 180 people are killed in germany and belgium. ah, hello there, i'm the soviet hey, and this is all their life. and also coming up, the taliban supreme leader says he wants a political settlement to the conflict in afghanistan as peaceful continue here and to athletes have tested positive for the current of ours inside the village. the fast to do so with the games now just stays away. i'm right, reynold, in south dakota, where native americans are dealing with the legacy of the u. s. government boarding

school program, and varying the remains of children who died long ago and far away. ah . all western europe's flooding crisis is escalating and spreading further with heavy rainfall and parts of eastern germany now and austria, at least $183.00 people have been confirmed dead so far that that total is still expected to rise as water levels drop. people in the austrian alpine town of her lane were warned not to even go to their sellers. as flash floods swept through that area. there are no reports of casualties either german chancellor anglo michael has called these floods a catastrophe and will visit the worst hit region later on sunday. step bass and reports now from the germantown of f stopped. it was rush hour when the water quickly in a day to highway number 26 as near as 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 diverse is of no use looking at how challenging it is to free this one highway. it becomes clear that recovery will take time. it's hard to imagine the panic of people stuck in traffic when the road probably 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 after the german president, frank wilder stein maya told survivors they will get help, but have to be patient when decent his is active. so luck configured,

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 a landslide, buried at least 3 houses and are stopped and damaged others. this woman lost, her son was swept away by the mud flo, his body as yet to be recovered. she and other residents are anxious to the begging authorities to allow them to return to holden my husband. alice. yet we have nothing. we were 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. albus boring it from across germany for those who had to leave their homes in a hurry with only the clothes they were wearing people. we're lucky enough not to

be effected. a volunteering to help us. 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 or belongings, but also they believed that their town was a safe place to live, steadfast and al jazeera after germany. while in belgium, at least 27 people had died since that plotting began on wednesday, over 100 still remained missing. waters had begun receding, never allowing rescue as to access thousands of affected homes on natasha about jason leanne with the latest on the search and rescue efforts in belgium. natasha, it does look like the weather has improved somewhat. how is the sun going? especially that went out seeing these water levels drop. yeah, there's been no rain now for a couple of days and the water has receded and more that is meant emergency workers

have been able to access many areas that were previously inaccessible because of course of water meant the roads were blocked, vehicles couldn't pass. and what the emergency services have been doing is basically going from a house to house and from the worst areas to see if there are any survivors. now that could be possible, they say, because you could have some people, a frail, often the elderly who rushed up for the 2nd or 3rd floors in their home and have been stopped there often without communication because electricity was cause in many areas and many villages. and in many neighborhoods in the neighborhood of a, in the city of near just one of the worst defective neighborhoods. i'm sure you can sleep behind me. there is a temporary everywhere there are homes with a police because on them. and what that means is that the police have been through those times, they have search, then they are looking to see whether of course or all survivors and whether the home is stable enough for people to come back and assess the damage. and that kind of thing, but as the hours days pass, of course,

the child so finding survive is becomes less and less well in this community here. this neighborhood we've seen a lot of our people pitching in to help each other and we've been talking to residents about the to matic experience. so they've been through there's not much to save for some residence in this neighborhood of the belgian city of the edge. most furniture and appliances are ruined, cause wrecked the flood waters that have caused so much damage have finally subsided with a clean up where it has only just begun all it was just for the water covered the cupboards. pascal is still shaken, rising waters had forced her 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 drug per year. one of them is all on the. 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, as the most important,

it will be some time before residence in neighbourhood, like this one, come to turn 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 affected st. volunteers off it up. as i said, it's about all of derossi's supporting people to show they aren't alone with this devastation when they 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 workers continue 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 thousands of people are missing. the hope here though, is that they'll find survivors. while the belgian climate, if you saw there has been visiting of floods, kate areas speaking to survivors, assessing the damage. he has said that he's going to be calling on the european union to unlock funds to try and help with rebuilding to try and help those people who've been affected. i mean, hundreds of people, of course, have been evacuated across this region. they are staying and shelters, and gymnasiums and schools, all sometimes in hotels, the city is paying for bad, but of course they can't be there forever. they want to go back to their homes, but some of them just won't be able to ever go back to their homes because they will be unsafe and perhaps will have to be pulled down. so it's really a devastating situation for them. people trying to not only rebuild their lives and rebuild their homes, but once the kind, once they manage to absorb what has happened to them and try and processes

experience, they will really have days and weeks ahead when nothing will be the same for quite a while. natasha but so that was all the latest for us from lee as thank you so much, natasha. well meanwhile, several houses have collapsed killing at least $25.00 people after landslides with my heavy rain in india is financial capital rescues fair more people could still be trapped in the debris and mom buy and one neighborhood. half a dozen shacks collapsed on top of each other. the torrential rain is also disruptive trains. addison now to athletes have now tested positive for the corona virus inside. the tokyo olympic village on saturday and international olympic committee member was also in the village, was confirmed to have the virus. and so it comes just 5 days before the pandemic delayed games. officially open dozens of cases have been linked to the olympics. only since the start of july and the event husband facing opposition in japan because affairs, it was in the country's outbreak, as it continues to battle assassin infections. the money bonds in june bure stop to

stimulate, even with all measures fully taken, there will still be some positive cases. the corona virus situation is encompassing the entire world. so it is inevitable that there will be cases that what is important is that when such cases arise, we properly and systematically isolate them so that there will be no further transmission. i spoke to jess kingston, he's the director of asian studies at temple university in japan and has been closely monitoring the code, the 1900 situation in the athletes village. he's saying they're growing concerned that the games will actually talent with super spreader events. and they're trying to put a brave face on this, the i o. c, chairman, bach on television, reassuring the japanese people, there is 0 risk. but clearly there's a law skepticism here in japan about these reassurances. and this is exactly what public health authorities have of warning against and why a prime minister su guys chief adviser uncovered 19,

was opposed to holding the olympics and insisted on no spectators. so hopefully they manage to contain this. but this is a bad sign as thousands of athletes are arriving this week, and they'll be more than 50000, a limping related guest, also arriving. and just as the delta variant is swirling around the globe, the vaccination here is just 20 percent of a lot of things cannot be anticipated. we don't really know of and the that's the real problem. big question mark over these, let big sense. why about 80 percent of the japanese people did not think it was a good idea to go forward. and so the big worry here is that this might become a super spreader event. and hopefully it's not going to start the athletes village . and it would be a shame, all these athletes were working so hard over the years to prepare themselves are

now going to be, you know, living in the bubble and not even certain if the bubble is safe. now moving on and the leader of the taliban says the group favors a political settlement to the conflict and kind of stone. that's as it continues to capture more districts on the ground though it will. arkansas de also says that taliban wants to establish political and economic relations with the international community, including the united states. and comes as a group is meeting an african government delegation and cutoff capital doha. well, it's all been debate is outside those tools here. for us, it's on the i am found the meeting pan resumes for today is the mood that constructive, given what we're hearing from the taliban. what leave you look at the statement from habit, the ones on the he's addressing all of the questions which have been raised by the people who by the phone and the international community about the rights of women, the rights of minorities, what's gonna happen to the security forces,

what is the future course of, of gone is done. what is going to happen along the board is how will the relationship of going to san, dominated by the alibi and be with its neighbors. and those are all of this which has been laid out in elaborate feed the message from the leader of the taliban. while these talks are happening. and it is after a few months that we've seen the high level delegation coming to the factory capital, engaging with the taliban, which represents not just the african government, but also why does spectrum of people from the african society groups which hold insulin and throughout the 1st day of talks, the atmosphere was described as amenable. busy people were talking to each other, everything was being discussed on the table. the question remains that there is not a hope that has been pinned by the african people on these talks. and what are they going to view in the end? is the big question. so much if both sides offensively and i want to political

resolution. what then all the big sticking points on the agenda, these discussions but both sides have been very clear about what they want the taliban go and coming into these talks, when the prisoners release they want the listing from the united nation careless. they want to be able to form a, an inclusive government from all sides and have gone assigned. they want to amend the constitution and i've gotten government to thing. we can talk about all of that, but their 1st needs to be a cease fire. the salad and insisting that there cannot be a ceasefire if the same people continue to remain in charge. they continue to pursue the policies in the fall of bonds. he has been influenced by the rest and the united states is poised to pull out by, by the, by the 11th of september. so it is a very wide ranging views which have arrived to this table in the past 3 capital. both sides are resolute, that they are going to try and bring the site over towards what they want. but in

the last few months, since the talk started in september, they haven't been able to do that. and it is unlikely, according to many experts that in these 2 days, they're going to come out with something concrete and some of them of a, the others talk for us in the how thank you so much on while still ahead here on out of here and the drumming up support how cubans president is reacting days after the biggest anti government protest in decades. ah, ah, it's time for the journey to with sponsored by cut on airways, there are still heavy rain falling in europe, not in germany, although what in the far south of germany, this big circulation, though not as potent as it was, has brought significant rain to for example,

austria on the edge of this cold front which is still discernible, stretches up towards scandinavia and that part of europe has been so warm, recently has cooled down. so the picture then in austria, particularly in the capital, but also in the tier all i've been qu stone, so about a 100 millimeters of rain yesterday. that's quite a lot of rain compared to the average is over half a co star which does get a lot right. of course it's time the it being in the 90s, but look at the capital. no one half times the july average, that's very significant. there has been some flooding. i think that's the worst of it because the next day or so. the heavy rain, although we'll see some more nasty, will tend to focus a bit further south croatia and elsewhere in the balkans. and that's where it's going to be wandering. around slowly edging southwards, which means a little ones who light showers in the low countries the next day or so. the sun has been and it's relatively will impact is quite hot. in some places, london, the example might see said he when read the 32 during sunday that it caused

a little bit, but even then it's pretty warm. sponsor cut on airways. talk to al jazeera, we roam, did you want the us to take and who stopped you? we listen, you see the whole infrastructure and being totally destroyed. we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on our sierra definitely guides dying. disproportionate numbers on that, every leaving behind widows who struggled to survive. one meets the ship, a women defying tradition to conquer the world. so far as bouncing on i was 0. o. a.

hello again, i'm the soviet hand that remind you about top stories. the fallacy. western europe's flooding crisis is escalating and spreading further with heavy rain foreign parts of eastern germany now and austria, at least $183.00 people are confronted so far. but i told the expected to increase water levels true to estimates have tested positive for the current of ours inside the took care and then pick village on saturday. and i see member who is also in the village was confirmed to have the virus pandemic delayed games on officially open. on friday the leader of the taliban says the group favors a political settlement to the conflict on, even as it continues to make military advances. representatives of the group, i'm using an african government allocation and capital capital

now, facebook says it shouldn't be blamed for the u. s. failing to me, it's vaccine goals. on saturday president joe biden accused the social media giant of killing people by allowing misinformation about the corona, virus vaccine, to circulate on its platform several states, and now dealing with another such in cases mostly amongst on vaccinated people. allen fisher reports now from washington, d. c. divide is a new hot sport. the state now has more than 750 people in hospital with covered more than 80 percent of those in intensive care are not back to me and vaccinated people going out with the city. reopening and getting sick. and with some of these variances passing much more efficiently and people are getting much 2nd, the last year, the only pandemic we have is among the and that they're killing people. joe biden made fighting the pandemic his number one priority in the white house. after seeing initial success, the numbers i know going in the wrong direction. this is becoming

a pandemic of the unvaccinated. we are seeing outbreaks of cases in parts of the country that have low back the nation coverage because unvaccinated people are at risk. a 3rd of the country is unvaccinated, and the issues become so highly politicized. there's a worry among medical professionals that might not change in california. the number of new cases has brought back the mask mandate in los angeles county. i don't want to go over that enemy safe, but we do not want to go backwards under san francisco. they're not going to spot, is telling people they must mask up their strongly recommending it why you want everyone to be safe. so they need to wear a master where a mass, but you know, with outdoors i think a lot of people want to wear mass. that's a big one. you know, people have gotten back to life without masks ready to pick them up again. even as the situation puts more people in hospital across the united states. alan fisher. i'll just either washington, while, meanwhile, 3 texas state democrats who fled to washington to hope the passing,

the republican sponsored voting bill have tested positive, recovered 19. they are part of a delegation of nearly 60 politicians who went to the capital and had already been vaccinated against the corona virus. one of them has been experiencing mild symptoms, according to local reports. while for many decades, native american children in the u. s. was sent to government run boarding schools in an effort to assimilate them into the broader european based society that had taken their land. some now call it a deliberate effort at cultural genocide and south dakota. one indigenous community has reclaimed the remains of their children who died in those distant institutions long ago, while brennan troubles with the sound of drums and prayers. songs the remains of 90 congo or yacht, a luck code to children returned home to their native land. their story is a long and painful one, stretching back over 140 years, be

a lot of sadness here today. beginning in 1879 native children from the la cota and other tribes were sent to government run boarding schools. the 1st group embarked on steamships from this point on the missouri river headed for a government school in far away carlisle, pennsylvania law. the kids involved with this is the last place. his parents mom here and go tens of thousands of native children entered boarding schools. the project was meant to assimilate to destroy native language, culture, and religion, and to turn the young people into model christian americans. but many did not survive the schools harsh regime of maltreatment, neglect, and disease. for decades, the lakotas children lay buried in carlisle cemetery, but they were never forgotten. after years of effort to properly identify the remains and then carefully exude them, children including little hawk hollow,

horn bare strikes, 1st. swift bare and others left so long ago or surrounded by their people. once more. that's who to come home. does it make you feel emotional? yeah. really happy. young luck. oh, to reflect on the hardships their relatives endured. i would have been full of terror. i would have been full of i would expect nothing but death. to be honest, it's almost a nauseating feeling to, to realize what these kids been through. the children's remains replaced on the ground inside, especially constructed t p. they're surrounded by relatives and religious leaders. they were welcomed home in a private prayer ceremony. later the entire community gathered as the remains were laid out, wrapped in buffalo hides and surrounded by sacred sage people prayed long into the

night. the homecoming is an event of enormous emotional and spiritual importance to his people says organizer russell eagle bear. there's a re awakening. of our people, and that's an important, you know, we need to, we can be living in grief all the time. and on the following day, the children were laid to rest in the local cemetery home at last, in the land where they belong. robert olds, al jazeera mission, south dakota, the cuban president has denounced when he hold a false narrative about anti government protests and says, footage of large rallies is false. miguel diaz can alex use the u. s. and provoking the protest and spreading have on social media. mrs. after cuba, so it's biggest anti government protests and decades through about non uniform. this celebratory rally in havana is

a full cry from angry protest to the grit this caribbean nation. performing cuban self and waiting flags. thousands of people shaped support for president miguel diaz. can he says, protest against cuba, economic decline, what based on source narrative 50 morning or if you need to can be moved. they are encouraging and glorifying disrespect and destruction of property threats and harassment of citizens and families. right now what the wall of the sink from is a life relo, castro joined the president who he attended power to in 20. 19, he and his brother, the late fidel castro, had led the cuban revolution more than 6 decades ago. okay. and then yeah, ponder mc, nope, i'm the mac, we have to defend the throw notion. we have to defend what is ours. you can also

us president joe biden called key the state and showed no sign of lifting economic sanctions. the country now seems divided between 2 count, those who blame the government of widespread shortages of food and medicine and those who don't want to lose a socialist revolution. they blame 60 years of crippling sanctions, but their economic was lower, but mainly to 0. south africa police minister says he is concerned about a rise in racial tension. more than 200 people were killed and rioting and loosing that swept through parts of the country over the past week. some communities are even set up vigilance groups to defend their homes and businesses. ben smith has worn out from durban, and they just looted, looted and due to durbin has been quieter these last couple of days. but it's a calm sometimes and forced at gunpoint roadway jackson managed to protect his

business, but so many others looted and burned. it was the, the more themselves that called all the destruction and called home to themselves because we, we attacked and we had people to open fire on us. and which we basically have to see have got ourselves by the hiding behind walls and building the writing response by the jailing. a former president, jacob zoom had expanded to include wider grievances. it unleashed racial tensions that always set up a neat surface here about about one of them, i thought the minister of police toward durban townships on saturday, promising to investigate crimes committed by all communities. kaylee says, 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. warnings. for now, it looks difficult, but we are working together. we're 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 their party government. these years 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 talk 700000000 dollars, 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 fit, clean down. no one's just sitting on and that's the concern. there it is, which is the davis teams done. so continuing and no one key sex. just hours after
