the way i've been covering all of latin america for most of my career, but no country is alike, and it's my job to shed light on how and why a western europe flooding crisis spreads to new regions. after more than a 180 people are killed in germany and belgium. ah, hello, i'm this tells you, hey, this is out there, live from home also coming up. the taliban supreme leader says he wants a political settlement to the conflict and that kind of son as piece talk, continue and done a lot of grief and heartbreak and

indonesia, southeast asia, the west coast 19 outbreak leave. hospitals and funeral workers overwhelmed bunch and the philippines president take the job as a famous box attend politician who says corruption is run. ah, well, western europe's flooding crisis is escalating and spreading further with heavy rainfall. now, in parts of eastern germany and austria, at least $183.00 people has been confirmed dead so far, but that total is expected to rise as the water levels drop. people in the austrian alpine town of lane were warned not even to go to the fellows as flash floods swept through that area. there are no reports of casualties. they're either german chancellor, anglo who has called these floods. a catastrophe will visit the west had region

later on sunday. step past reports not from the germantown of stop. it was rush hour when the water quickly in a day to the highway number 265, near ash, not 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 feed is one highway. it becomes clear that the recovery will take time. it's hard to imagine the 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 after the german president, frank walter stein maya told survive as 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 bird. at least 3 houses in our stock 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 be begging authorities to allow them to return to holland manhattan. these proceedings, alas, yet 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 of the whole infrastructure is down. album flooring in from across 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 that 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, afterward germany, all in belgium. at least 27 people have now died since upsetting, began on wednesday. more than 100 still remain missing. waters have begun receding, never allowing rescuers to access thousands of affected homes. when i speak to natasha backlash, she's in the edge with the latest on the search and rescue efforts that are taking place in belgium. natasha now that the thumbs out, how is the such going?

yes. has been no rain here for a couple of days and you might hear a lot of noise behind me by the way, not is because they're all circles removing a lot of the separate. that was i the was stop here, or the people have to throw out that happens in this neighborhood and yeah, over the past few days. so if you do have the noise that was going on here, in terms of the rescue operation, emergency service is all continuing to go from my house to house. they are looking for survivors. they are hoping that they could see people elderly, the vulnerable, the frail box, people who went to upper floors in their home and is still that job because bobs, communications went down, electricity just kept in a lot of feed was affected neighborhoods, emergency services they, they may still find people alive, their op, to least i should say, 100 people missing. but of course, they also say that it is possible that they will find more body. that is a very painstaking and difficult task for the rescue as they really are having

through areas that it's difficult to get the homes that are partially collapse in, in neighborhoods like this. well, you can see the clean up operation is well on the way people are just trying to come to terms with what has happened to them. not only if they live through a very traumatic experience, being able to rise in their home, not knowing if they were going to survive. but now of course they're looking at was around them, which is that possessions are ruined. they don't know perhaps whether even going to live for the next few days. we've been speaking to people in this unity in the as the 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, of course, 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 water for her and the teenage daughter to climb onto the roof, where they were stranded overnight and till a neighbor helped rescue them. she says it's only once they were safe. the reality drawing. 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 affected st. volunteers off it up. it's about all of 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 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 dozens of people are missing. the hope here though, is that they'll find survivors. well, the prime minister, belgian who's been visiting flood hate areas and speaking to survivors and assessing. the situation says that he will call on the european union to unlock the funds to help with the emergency response and to help people rebuild the clean up the 4th. we also spoke to belgian health minister who's been here in this neighborhood this morning, assessing the damage he looks very moved. indeed he said to us, he was just really

a nor of the many volunteers that have come in. but he said, look, it's very easy from the outside to look at the things, but when you actually can you see what people have lost all of the material loss is terrible. but he also said mentally so difficult for these people. and he also pay tribute to the hospital workers because many people who suffer these floods were rushed to hospital with injuries with a shock and that kind of thing. and he said look of the work it's, it's been through such a typical year and a half with cove it. and now of course this adds to it. and d natasha butler. they're on the ground for us. and leon and belgium, thanks so much natasha. now moving on and the leader of the taliban says the group favors a political settlement to the conflict and i've kind of stone that's as it continues to capture more districts on the ground here. but we'll arkansas abels who says the taliban wants to establish political and economic relations with the international community, including the united states. it comes as the group is meeting,

an african government delegation in capitals, capital the home. well, it's on the been debated is that those talks for us here in doha. so i believe that those meetings have resumed for today. so is there a sense of optimism giving what we're hearing from the tele? well the hope is one word which keeps doing the rounds here in the car, 3 carpet unless you speak to both the taliban and the government lead side, they are hopeful that they are going to come to come some sort of resolution to continue this momentum of talking to each other, that is something which has been missing in the talk to begun back in september. and now that a high level 7 member delegation led by the not the of the chairman for the high peace council is here there be. this is day 2 of these talk, continuing both sides taking what was discussed back to their own respective groups, discussing it internally and coming back to the table again. although there has been no real movement on basic issue such as a political roadmap to have got

a son. the release of prison is the d listing of thought about and from a un sanctions less. and all of those issues, which is which have been a pending for all those months still remain. but both sides are hopeful that they are going to move forward as the fighting on the ground continues and both sides very rigid in their positions. so some of the, if the afghan government side on the taliban both tend to be want this political resolution is a potential for a concrete outcome of out of these talks off the so many other ones are really stalled. well, it is unlikely that there is going to be something concrete which comes out which will have an immediate impact on the fighting on the ground and have gone to sun. but it is likely that this is going to be the 1st step towards achieving a more robust round of talks where they talk about more concrete actions on the ground, a political road map of achieving peace, what

a future of gun nathan would look like. and you can see those messages coming through and habit is the message is when, where he's talking about the rights of our guys. he's talking about the border control, internal security, how the rights of people within have been assigned and the security forces will be defended. so there is obviously on the taliban side, there's cognizance of the fact that the, this is what the international committee and the con people want to see and want to hear it from them. those assurances that they've been providing that they are going to abide by international laws and their neighbors and within their citizens as well. but again, there is a lot of lack of trust that we've been hearing, not just from the leaders of the of gone government side, but also from people. and they've got a son who say that they've heard these promises before. but what are the guarantees that when these forces come into power, who have taken more than half of a find a son, they're going to abide by those promises and make sure that the,

those hard one freedom that they've achieved in the last 2 decades remain. i sullivan survey in there with all the laces for us, from those talks here and our how, thanks so much for some still ahead here on out there to actually test positive for the current of ours inside pick village. fast to do so with the gains knowledge of days away and trying to protect their neighborhoods and then fear there could be more trouble and hulu thing in south africa. ah. where the typhoon season starts to show itself. and if you look at the top of the screen, we just shuffle, storm in thumb. usually concentrates all the energy in the atmosphere. that's the case now. so all the wet weather is going to be up here. i think it'll affect the philippines now. the line of longer you take down towards to the ways he certainly

west papua, which means elsewhere throughout borneo ajarvis tomorrow the showers are going to be fewer. they're going to be there. they're going to be few as an increasing amount of rain potentially. i think in me and mommy, some parts of thailand as well, the season progresses and gets colder as all the wintry weather comes across the bite through. so sudden part frustrated. but surprisingly, it was quite warm up in tropical queens, in the warmest july day for 51 years. that won't last, but it was that cloud that came down from the tropics. it did it from the equator, more or less. so to cool down a little bit, but still quite warm, but this is proper winter coming in. not so much on monday of the a. c things bring up the west of person. it'll be a stormy day, i think on tuesday. but look what happens down here in victoria, that white is on the victoria. now it's proper snow's back to fall or rather windy and cold day for melbourne with rain up in new south wells as well. whereas the res, disappearing from most of new zealand. the

who's with bag energy and change to every part of our universe or small to continue change all around the shape, my technology and human ingenuity. we can make it work for you and your business. ah ah ah ah,
