stream has been a implement here just some of access points. shift the focus, the panoramic that's turned out to be a handy little pretext. the prime minister clamped down on the press covering the waves. the news is covered for listening post on the o. this is al jazeera ah hello. hello robin. you're watching the i'll just every news our life, my headquarters here in the coming up in the next 60 minutes. surreal and terrifying the german chancellor visits the flood zone where more than a 100 were killed and dozens of others remain missing. the taliban rejects proposals on a political right not to end the violence saying the african government must prove

its commitment. also the world's top oil producers agree to a deal to boost output. after weeks of disagreement, i'm rob rental and south dakota where native americans are dealing with the legacy of the u. s. government boarding school program and burying the remains of children who died long ago and far away. and similar to the sports news and with 5 days to go 10 more code 19 cases are reported inside the olympic village in tokyo. and this time, it includes 2 athletes. ah, welcome to the news. surreal and terrifying. that's how german chancellor, anglo merkel has described. the scenes in villages left destroyed by the floods. and the crisis in western europe is only getting worse, more heavy rain as had parts of eastern germany,

austria and the czech republic. at least 183 people are confirmed dead, but that number is expected to rise as the water receives. now, merkel has visited the worst his village of shoes, where about 12000 residents were effected. she's promised to quickly provide financial aid to the region. the netherlands remains on high alert and waters fed by the rainfall are expected to fly through the country in the coming days and towards the north sea. and while the rain stopped in belgium, a massive cleanup operation is also underway. as the search full survivors continues, i'll be a national day of mourning on tuesday. while we have teams of correspondence across the flood zone shortly we'll hear from natasha butler in the city of lee. as in belgium, the buses is standing by well into the south east of the netherlands. and i mean, he is watching developments and she'll in western germany. let's go to adam 1st as

you can see behind me the destruction here is just incredible. this of course, is a neighborhood in the small village. every way you look, you see destruction, appliances destroyed home. and if you just follow me, you get a sense, a bit more homes and auto stop, totally blown out from flooding that went down through the village at the bottom of the valley, people's homes in total disarray. we've been seeing people dig out this morning here. we've been seen him take bucket after bucket of mud, debris from their home. they female. we ask them what they want from the chancellor . they said their problems are too big right now to talk about doing political things is what they really said. but the truth is they're hurting or hurting a lot, and they're seeing their whole life up in here in this village, as well as the waters that are receiving from germany and passing through the netherlands. that bass and standing by for us in a dutch town in the south of the country and stuff. it's all about those flood

defenses, which we always presumed with to protect the netherlands from the north sea. but the floods have brought the water in it behind those defences, and now will affect large parts of the netherlands. yes, there is a real battle against nature against the water going on here in the netherlands for days already. also throughout this night, people have been really fighting. they have been working together to enforce these dykes here. i'm standing here at the dyke in while in the south of the country, which was basically breaking food. it was water coming through this dike. so not only the village of police army, everyone was house in here to put this huge send back to you. there's a whole life going up, hundreds of meters that direction full of the sand. back to make sure that this village, because i'm standing here, you can see the water level over there. i'm standing here around 2 meters. one half me to lower, and this is where the villages,

so they're all pumping walked us out of their houses right now. i spoke to residents here, well, i've been so tired, 4 days already trying to to win this battle basically against the water and they say they hope they are winning. police is going around this area the whole time checking every single bit of this dyke as h, as you say, then alan's is very well known for its dikes, but this is the south of the country. it's far away from the sea and they never expected the river, which is here behind me to grow this big in such a short period of time. this is where the water is that was passing through germany in the last couple of days. this is where i'm heading now and it's heading up to the north sea. step good to get an update for me from the town of well in the southern netherlands. well, in belgium, tens of thousands of people without electricity. and there's also concern for the supply of clean water. the health minister has been hitting one of the worst effect to visiting one of the west effected areas in the city of the edge pier. look at

what it means for people who are affected in this city. it's awful, it's really all the mayor tells me that he's guess he does say 5000 houses has been impacted in differing degree. more than 10000 people are estimated to have been impacted just in the town of liaison, which means that we're talking about 8 percent of the population who felt the impact and at the level of the people. it's really horror. while the tester butler is in the ash with the latest on search and rescue efforts in belgium, hundreds, thousands of people have actually had to leave their home, forced out by the flood waters. and then there are those people who try to hang on and stay in their homes and they didn't want to leave and go to shelter. but they've had to leave anyway because some emergency work is saying some of the homes are simply not safe enough. they've been to damage fighting salt water for them to

say many homes have collapsed. other homes have been severely weakened. so what emergency work is all doing is really going to from house to house. they are trying to see if they can still find survivors. there is still a possibility. they say we know that least 100 people are missing, but it could be that some, oh, the frail will move on. people took shelter on higher floors in their home and then they're still stuck there because communication went down in some parts of this region off the flood waters, kids and pops. they haven't been able to contact the outside world if you like. the emergency workers still hopeful they'll find people alive, but of course they are saying that it is possible that they will still retrieve some body. so it's still very difficult situation for people here. they're still coming to terms with what has happened to them, and you can see behind me a lot of activity as people in this community in this neighborhood, there's, are trying to clean up, trying to save what they can,

even though there's not much to faith because everything has been so badly impacted the several houses of clubs click at least 25 people after landslides caused by heavy rain in india's financial capital. rescue is fam, or people could be trapped in the day. brian moved by and one neighborhood, half a dozen shacks collapsed on top of each other. the terminal rain is also disrupted training services. plenty. morehead hill. the news r including was going to indonesia, struggling to cope with southwest ages, was coded 19 out break. also trying to fix the mass, the call for unity in south africa as president. this is one of the areas was affected by looting and no one went away from the 1st n b, a title, 971. peter story told me

to athletes of nor tested positive the current virus in the tokyo olympic village. on saturday, the international olympic committee member who was also in the village was confirmed to have the virus. the pandemic delayed games are due to officially open on friday. dozens of cases have been linked to the olympics since the start of july . the event has been facing opposition in japan because of fears. it was the country's outbreak of caves 19 as it battles a serge in infections. the new bonds in june, you start 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 what is important is that when such cases arise, we properly and systematically isolate them so that there will be no further transmissions that i'm just kingston. as the director of asian studies at temple university in japan, he says it's growing concerned. the games will become a super spreader event. or they're trying to put

a brave face on this. the i o seat chairman box 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 olympic 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 olympics and 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 will be a shame all these athletes been 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. se asia westcove at 19 outbreak shows no sign of slowing with more than $50000.00 new cases reported each day in indonesia. lot and 72000 people have died from the virus so far. was jessica washington reports from jakarta. the funeral industry is now looking to volunteers to help bury the dead on the outskirts of the indonesian capital, yet another family has lost

a relative to cope. it won't wake up, she cried. please don't sleep. it's the last time she will ever see her father. as indonesia struggled through the surgeon covert 900 deaths, there were too many grieving families and not enough workers to help bury the dead . some communities are now relying on volunteers. you just get back to them and that we don't receive any payment. we do our job from the heart. he cleans the bodies and also dr. coffins to the cemetery and got a number of this is so high here. so this is what we can do to help the families. they work from morning to night. every day they see more families in anguish. seeing the conditions of these families, i feel in my heart and need to help them. i think about them even after i get home

. ah, this is just one of many covert 19 burial sites in indonesia. at all, hours, hearses and ambulances keep up with more bodies to be buried away. big people, more people are dying alone in their homes, and most never had the chance to be treated in hospital. as the death toll rises over 900 burial size, overwhelmed and grave is have to work well into the night to keep with demand. indonesia covered 19 fatality rate is the highest in se asia. but experts warn the government state her doesn't reveal the extent of the crisis. we pray dick that the real number of those who died from coffee 9 teens, should be treated far as time higher than the officials number each day,

indonesia cases and deaths rise to record levels and more families come here to more those they've lost jessica washington, our to 0 chicata. so the prime minister boris johnson and his finance minister rich sooner will self isolate. after having contact with health secretary, such a job is who just tested positive for corona virus. dining street says they won't take part in a pilot study that allows people to work in their offices and only isolate when not that jobs. now the initial exemption sparked criticism from other m. p. 's keys, johnson taking rules and restrictions for granted. now the taliban has rejected proposals of a political road map and constitution of god. this done as it holds, talks with the african government delegation and cancel the armed groups as it once the african government to show it holds some power. the taliban is demanding the release of 7000 prisoners as a confidence building measure,

but the african delegation says a sci fi is top priority. a solid benjamin does not those talk that here in doha salma, really, the red lines have been drawn. we getting a clearer idea of what each sides once, what each side needs before they move for this have been the case when they met together after a long in these, in these talks which began in september. but as the talks progress to be saw, i re emergence of those lines where everybody had come to these talks thinking that they are going to be able to convince the other side of try and move towards them. the taliban hoping that because they have the momentum behind them from the fighting on the ground and a lot of applied to sun which they have captured. they'd be able to convince the other side. and they have gone government side thinking that the now that the $1.01 realizes how stretch they are, how difficult it will be to govern those areas which they have taken. they will be

able to come to some sort of a realization that the people who got a son need the basic services the need to needs to provide. so they met in this atmosphere of hope of trying to convince each other the talks are still ongoing. what we're hearing from sources within these talks now these, they're back to square one, each side, insisting that the only way they can move forward if the other side. a blank 1st. and that has been the case in september. i spoke to some of the delegates who just came out earlier and they told me that as long as both sides on the table, they considered this as progress. but the people of atlanta son have a very different idea of what the progress should look like. they're looking for both of these side to come to some sort of terms. so the fighting can stop and people can go about in their daily lives. as of one, a son has not seen this level of violence for years. there was a glimmer of encouragement. if we put it like that earlier in the day when the

taliban supreme leader also suggested and perhaps was trying to knock these talks into shape by saying that he strenuously favored a political settlement. hopes were raised for a short time, at least was that has been the case since september when the 2 sides met. there is hope that both will realize because they continue to say those words, that dialogue is the only way forward. there is no military solution to run a san peace can only come about when they come to terms with each other. as these words that repeated and reiterated the actions on the ground are very different from what they've been thing. and that has been, ad accusations have come from both sides of not being genuine, not being serious, not giving enough to try and bring a gun assigned towards some sort of solution. this is a conflict which has been in the making, at least since the americans came in for 2 decades. and it goes beyond that for about, for decades of gun,

a son has been caught up in the cycle of violence that guns have been fighting of bonds at the behest of each other as we have to foreign powers. and this is something that i've done the tired often they want an end to it by the looks of it . there is still some chance that they will come to a declaration, a joint statement, something which will provide hope for do the supporters of all sides. that have run a sign is moving in the right direction. but is it going to be enough? is it going to have an impact on the fighting on the ground? that is the big question mark that we will have to wait until these talks are all sudden been read forth in the hall. thank you. now major boulder crossing between pakistan and afghanistan has been partially reopened after the taliban seize control of the african side. on wednesday, the hundreds of us guns arrived at the frontier with the small groups allowed into chairman in buckets on it and he can meet lifeline full of enough kind of stone with agriculture like sports and other goods passing through it. now the government has lotion operation to retake the border area. meanwhile,

buckets on continues fencing its long mountainous border with i've come to some begun securing it in 2017 after a space of attacks from africa, base buckets on the groups. but campbell accuses focused on providing a safe passage for the taliban to cross over. come all hide a has more from go to come on. the buckets on africa border focused on the longest border reduced neighbor of ronnie dawn, stretching over 2600 kilometers. it also one of the most challenging of rain were da da, georgia, ranging from 7400 meters above sea level deserts. and out most of the work had been undertaken by the buckets on the military itself. already 90 percent of the work had been completed, focused on her spent hundreds of millions of dollars on this project, which is likely to be completed by the end of 2021. they self gotcha, already helped and reducing the violence and budget on and

a whole page that the better border management between the 2 countries and budget tonge barrier on the on buckets on border. it's likely to help reduce the security data to plug it on. and also not to give an opportunity for the guns who have been accusing budget on of letting infiltrate to come across. it's dedicated. this fencing has also given a lot of strength not only to the border security on both sites and has also ensured that there is no any sort of infiltration. although the budget on has said to have hundreds of board along the frontier, rid of granite on it. complains that they have not done enough bargain on the expect, the longer dig responsibility to be able to control their side of the border focused on it. already seeing the benefits of an elaborated border management system. this involves terminal imagery camera. it involves drones and constant patrolling over

a long stretch of data, judy and that of god. and also because of the fact that budget on it now keeping a close watch on dish particular border. now the war in afghanistan has strained relations between this time about and cobble each accuses the other of causing unrest and violence focused on says gunnison has shouted armed groups to launch a tax into their country of gun stones, counterclaims, that box sounds, military funds, warlords, and the taliban, it says it's deva allows its territory to be used for planning attacks. well the violence of false millions but going to flee into focus on some about hasn't thousands back and settled others in comes along the african border. focus on is also unhappy about i've got a sounds going bilateral ties that it's regional rival, india, eman. there she is. a journalist and author of taliban militant islam. oil and the fundamental isn't in central asia, joins me now from the pakistani city of la,

hold by a scott mister a she'd been with us on the program focused on, has publicly been urging a peaceful, inclusive resolution to the african crisis for the past 2 decades. but who does the slum about the really want running the country from cobble? well, i think, you know, that's certainly one of the problems. but how relates you should become extremely complicated. and you said there are militant box on the groups who who are sold shelter has done and accused with government giving them shelter and allowing them to punch in from barren law to god's banking bucks done. at the same time, the government has convinced that the bond which i've been living in on the leadership will be living in san for over a decade now is still fine. he's done is consulted before any major plan that takes place. by the time the bon,

i'm not allowed to live on to be to go until hospital and remedies and be, be looked up there is this to put up going on constantly and the americans and the international community try not to get involved. but it's difficult because i had such a warranty over the bomb and was going to be to do the same. and why the some use that authority to bring about these fire convinced the one to offer something to the government. especially let me just jump to that because the international view is when you say focus on allows the taliban to do this, that and the other, it gets the impression that the government in islam above gives the taliban a green light. yet there is a distinction between the civilian government,

which has said that they don't support the taliban in so many areas. but often the taliban is seen to be supported by pakistan, secret service, and by pakistan's military. why can the civilian government in islamabad not control its own secret service and its own military? when it comes to dealing with the taliban? i think ways, steadily, over the last 2 years, be seen the military dominate, or policy. the military, all sounds, nuclear weapons it's. it's, it's regarding the strategic interests of box. i'm the only pause in the country that can stand up to india for all these reasons. i'm also calling because of the weakness of the civilian government and the constant interruptions in the, in the political process by opposition parties really party and then by the

military. and so it's the, all the countries foreign policy has become extremely weak and over extended. and so it is particularly the, at the moment, affordability to control, gone. so does the televisions, philosophy, politics, why the ology is it's seen as a threat to some parts of the populace in pakistan because surely everybody across bach is done is happy to see the taliban next door where exactly. i mean, junk b o d u. so division of guns done is equally division in boxes of a lead liberal community, the media i, they're all in favor of, of controlling. and they sion which is taking place in bucks. now they don't necessarily blame a runs down, forgot a plain black city. the government, the army,

the fault is for not coming down hard enough on these terrorist groups when the army would come to that and say that we are, we are tracking them down. and we are not align militancy in any formal shape. but the fact that it does exist, indeed, and i'm sure the involvement of focus on her whatever level will be, continue to be discussed and debated for some time to come. and she's always good to have your insight. thanks so much for joining us from the whole time for the webinar. his rob, with a forecast for europe. it was still reading in southern germany yesterday, but really we talked about yesterday and tear all night and both yesterday and today the chances are we're gonna see a line of showers on the edge of that cold front. that is nothing like as active as what caused remarkable flooding in germany. something like 100 many beaches rosalyn 3 or more. now the whole system was slowly south was by the time we get to monday, we've met a few small showers in austria mostly been are talking about maybe the hungarian

plane moving further south into serbia. croatia, generally speaking it's going to be the balkans that are showers further east in eastern europe. in fact attempts to dropped here as a result into the twenty's not the thirty's. now the nurse will up in scandinavia in western, europe's completely different stories warmed up. tremendously temperatures exceeding 30 in place in france and in the british. charles hasn't seen that. certainly the bridge owl since last september. and that's going to persist or the edge down a little bit going on shore breeze increase in the cloud in germany, but still an navy pointedly. it stays dry. now in africa, the big seasonal range that they show up in the highlands are really concentrating further west in giddy and maybe a bit further north, but they are daily and big. thanks, rob, still ahead. hillman isa, you know, use punch drunk the philippine president. thanks a job that a famous book,
