[000:00:00;00] ah jazeera, with a surreal and terrifying the german chancellor visits the flood zone more than a 100 were killed and dozens of others remained missing. ah, robin, this is there like my headquarters here in the holes. so coming up, the taliban disagrees with proposals on a political roadmap to end the violence saying an african government must prove its

commitment to athletes has positive for current virus inside the olympic village. the fed to do so with the game just days away on the wells top, all produces agree to a deal to do stuff put to weeks of disagreements. ah, welcome to the program. surreal and terrifying. that's how german chancellor, anglo merkel has described the scenes in villages left destroyed by floods. and the crisis in western europe is only getting worse or heavy rain as had parts of eastern germany, austria, and the czech republic. and at least 183 people are confirmed dead, but that number is expected to rise as the water receives, the medical has visited the worst hit the village of shoes to about 12000 benefits were effected. as he was promised financial aid, the netherlands remains on high alert to the armies being brought into reinforce

stikes and carry out emergency repairs. or mon, the rain stopped in belgium. a huge, clean up operation is underway. as the search survivors continues to be a national day of mourning on tuesday. adam righty has the latest from shoot. 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 shop, 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 a bucket of mud, debris from their home. they female. we asked him what they want from the chancellor. they said their problems are too big right now. to talk about doing

clinical 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 here in this village. now the flood waters receiving from germany and passing through the netherlands, that bass and joins us now from near bergen and, and stuff. hopefully, obviously before you talk telling us it was a race against time where you are because the water that coming in from a direction that nobody expected. yeah. yeah. dangerous still here and scary moments for these people here in the south of the netherlands still over night. they still had to fight against nature so to speak, against the water. they have been enforcing the dykes here at the dice, of course are their last defense. they have been putting sand back here, the villagers, people from other areas came in. the army is here please. everyone is working to get us to reinforce the sykes. and as you see the water, i still at a very high level and it is predicted this will, we may like this for

a couple of days and hopefully then it will receive. but of course, this is not a part of the lens where people thought it was going to be flooded. this part is actually above the sea level, and the most auto parts of the dallas are below. but still the river has only burst out of its banks. the river is actually behind the village that you can see, right? there is a kilometer away the river. so this is how far the flood has reached. and of course, is a great concern to those villages, towns and cities in the area that are cut off. they've just been watching this was the encroach and waiting really full bill forties to try and help them in some shape or form. yeah, exactly. there is a village here. you can, you can actually see the sign of the village, the height me neil bear, which is completely locked off, cut off from the rest of the netherlands right now. it's basically an island

surrounded by water. 500 people are stuck in there. some of them have decided to leave that. what is that you waited, the army has gone back and forth, but at the moment the army doesn't dare to go in because the water was still too high. they have emergency services ready for if someone needs help over there, then it would need to fly a helicopter to rescue these people. but so far it seems everyone is can alright there. but of course, people are very worried and very nervous if just water would still be rising. what would happen to that particular village? so best in no way back in southern netherlands, thanks very much. while over in belgium, tens of thousands of people with electricity and there's also concern with the supply of clean drinking water, the health ministers being being one of the worst effect areas in the city of lynch . here look at what it means for people who are affected in this city. it's also, it's really all the mayor tells me that we use gas. he does say 5000 houses have

been impacted in differing degree. more than 10000 people are estimated to have been impacted just in the town of lea, a. which means that we're talking about 8 percent of the population. we felt the in fact and at the level of the people, it's really horror. it's actually butler is in the edge 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 the same. some of the homes are simply not safe enough. they've been damaged by the waters for them to say many homes have collapsed. other homes have been severely weakened. so what emergency work is all doing is really going 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 a 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, the years 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 . so the taliban has express disagreement with proposals on the political roadmap and constitution of a gun. this done as it holds tools with the afghan government delegation in cats

are the release of prisoners. it's emerging as the main sticking point. the group want the government to building 7000 fighters as a confidence building measures that the african delegation says a sci fi. it's top priority. some been drill the following. those talks about the venue in doha. i saw it does seem the red lines are beginning to be drawn well, these red lines have existed from the very beginning. that was the case in september when these 2 sites met for the 1st time, this agreement that was, that was reached between the taliban. now the united states had a clause which said all. busy remaining thought of on prisoners will be released in a few months time that the thought about they would be removed from the united nations sanctions list as long as they showed a significant progress on the talks front and according to the father bond, they have abided by those rules and that should be the case. they have gotten side says that this was not an agreement that the taliban reached the afghan government

. this is an agreement between them in the united states where the united states had no power or authority to declare that the government is going to release or the 5th is the fear that these thousands of prisoners are going to go back to the bucky front and continue the fight against the government. the government has been steadily losing ground in the fight against the taliban. the thought of one thing they control more than 50 percent of the country more than 200 districts out of 400 in the sun. so when they met for the last 2 days, there was an atmosphere of hope. they wanted to bring these points to the table and say to each other that yes these are, this is where you stand. but let's find common ground and confidence building measures where we can agree upon and tried to move one son towards peace. well, it's just come 1400 hours. i'll see 5 o'clock local time in the afternoon here in doha, where to the talks now stand all the game to continue. well,

all of the body language as under this had been pointing out to us here and was very positive going into these talks. but people seem tired now. they've broken into smaller groups to try and work on the joint declaration, which kind of removes all of those sticking points, which they couldn't agree on. one gun delegate told me that at least there is this consensus that we are on the negotiation table. we will continue to be on the table to talking to each other and that is significant progress in terms of understand this is bearing in mind. this is a conflict which is existed for, for decades, and it is not going to be easy, quick to try and fix it as other than that for the telephone ask and talks in don't think you while still had here on al jazeera trying to fix a mess a cold, the unity in south africa as president visits, one of the areas was affected by looting. also, you know,

punch drunk. the philippine president takes a job at the famous box, the turn politician who says corruption is ramped and they stories after the break . ah, in the western pacific, yesterday's tropical depression has not been named and is a tropical storm in far. it's not particularly big yet, but it will grow as indication of disrupting the normal seasonal rain, which is you can see is not a straight line anymore. the one that lives should run from japan to china, chinese, and they'll be big showers, growing as you can see all the way from more or less. the yellow reverse or the western young scene dance was you? none but hong kong worked shout as well, basing. not necessarily very big showers,

and japan allows she try picture a sketching office shadow. as this storm grows, it goes towards the sudden audience of japan you q chain and it will be pretty big about how he gets he and also talk to that a big tropical storm. after that, it looks like it's heading towards ty, one for the middle, a late part of next week. that takes much of the energy out of the atmosphere. so though we have 20 a shout in the philippines, and particularly in me, in my movies yet, and i'm a cambodia south of that in borneo, sumatra and java. the channels are fewer and further between this is seasonally normal. just thought i'd make the point. as the monsoon rains, mom buys been hit hard, but i think it'll be to delhi for the next 2 or 3 days. the when freedom of the press is under threat, you know, you just because i thought, genuinely about your thought toward the government step outside the mainstream. the has been

a implement. here's just some of access court to shift the focus. the panoramic that's turned out to be a handy little pretext of the prime minister, clamped down on the press covering the waves. the news is covered the listing post on the just oh the book about kill watching on the news with me. the hill robin, japanese chancellor, has described the situation of areas hardest hit by flood, the surreal and terrifying angler. myrtle is visited, the villages shook hands. the massive clean up gets underway across western europe

. more than 100000000 people have died in the flood. the town about wes, disagreement headed professionals on the political right, math and constitution. all the dentist told, told, with the afghan government delegation in council, it's demanding the release of 7000 prisoners for the delegation, says a sci fi. is it a top priority to athletes have now tested positive for corona virus in the tokyo olympic village on saturday and international olympic committee member who was also in the village was confirmed to have the virus. the panoramic 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 cove at 19 as it battled the 3rd in the infections. the new bonds in june stopped still 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. just kingston as the director of asian studies at temple university and japan. and he says as growing concerned, the games will become a super spread or event and they're trying to put a brave face on this of 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 $50000.00 olympic related guests 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. now se asia was cove in 1900 outbreak,

she has no sign of slowing with more than 50000 new cases reported each day in indonesia. more than 72000 people have died from the virus though so far. as jessica washington report from jakarta, the funeral industry is now looking to volunteers to help bury the dead on the outskirts of the denise and capital. yet another family has lost a relative to cope. won't wake up, she cries, 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 give them one 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. i'm going to be on the 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 coven 19 burial sites in indonesia. at all, hours, hearses and ambulances keep up with more bodies to be buried away. 6 people, more people are going alone in their homes, and most never had the chance to be treated in hospital as the death toll rise of covert 900 burial size. overwhelmed and grave diggers have to work well into the

night to keep up with demand. indonesia covered $900.00 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 treat to far as time higher than the officials. number each day, indonesia cases and deaths rise to record levels and more families come here to warn those. they've lost jessica washington al jazeera chicata. you have prime minister boys johnson and his finance minister, richie su, nyquil self isolate. after having contact with the health secretary. such java who's just tested positive. the corona virus dining st says they won't take part in a pilot study that allows people to work in their offices under the ice late when not at that jobs. the initial exception sparked criticism from other m. p. 's

accuse johnson of taking rules and restrictions for granted. so public as president, as called for unity as he joined cleanable fits in one of the cities hardest hit by looting and riots. civil rubber pose of probably stay full review while visiting sweater after more than a week of the worst violence since the apartheid era. more than $200.00 people were killed after protest about the jailing of for the present. jacob zoom abruptly into action against poverty. the chaos has caused more than a $1000000000.00 worth of damage. now we we are in the, in my, my mom, mom, mom and the, in the meanwhile south africa please minister says the suspects

believed to have provoked the unrest and are being rounded up. security forces have already identified at least 12 ringleaders. there are other names that have been given to the security, but unfortunately, you are not going to be able to. them goes deeper until they come to court, but it looked in as soon as tomorrow. those names are put on the public. so me, the miller has more from johannesburg. well, one of the key things we heard from the president was in relation to the address he had given about a week ago around why this unrest was taking place. and a week ago he had said that he was ethnically based and in today he used his address to say that there was no link between the city and the riots. and that that notion was out the window. he had faith over criticism in the last few days around some of what had said in the last week, but he continues also to face criticism around the slow response of the state of

police and the slow deployment of the military. in the last few days, he also had, it seems a lot of finger pointing between the various organs of departments of state between military defense, the police as well as intelligence. there has been criticism that they've simply wasn't enough. intelligence passed on to police in particular to respond adequately to the riots and the unrest that we've seen. police have said they were overwhelmed . they were out that they just didn't have the capacity to deal adequately with what had happened now, both cities of johannesburg and been significantly calmer than they've been in the last few days. and certainly the president, using these short was in the butt, and johannes book to reiterate the importance of rebuilding the economy, cleaning up fixing the stores that were, that were destroyed or looted in these last few days. and really about this being united, south africa,

people being capable of repairing the damage that's been done. at least 13 people have died and several others have been injured in an oil tanker explosion in the town of the language in kenya, the tank is built fuel on the road when it rolled over after crushing into another truck. people have been trying to gather fuel from the tanka for the explosion, hadn't several houses of clubs killing at least 25 people after lunch lies caused by heavy rain in india's financial capital. rescue say more people could be trapped in the day bri in one by one neighborhood. half a dozen shacks collapsed on top of each other. potential rein has also disrupted training services. police in thailand to fire war to come and tear gas and rubber bullets to stop anti government protested from marching to the prime minister's office. hundreds to find creative iris restriction to take part in the demonstrations in bangkok. they blame the government for mismanaging the pandemic. they also want the budget reduced for the royal family and the military that the

world's largest oil producing nations have reached an agreement on dissing production. at a rift between 2 key members threatened to stole assets. opec nations cut oil production by almost 10000000 barrels a day at the start of the pandemic when demand plummeted. as the global economy started to recover, opec gradually restored output by almost 50 percent. but negotiations on the deal to further increase output exposed the rift between the united arab emirates and saudi arabia, the coal. sadie proposal to extend the arrangements unjust. now a compromise giving you a and others a higher production quota has pay the way for the latest steel. opec world, again, further ease and cut from august. but she attacked in as an international oil and energy consultant. he says the dispute between saudi on the u. e was ultimately technical, there was a major uncertainty because of this dispute. 200 jealous saying it became political

because request was logical. technical as to it became political the way the statements where and so. but thanks a lot, i think as all big countries, always they older companies and they act and make decision on a business on a business. and they did it. and i think that shows that they are getting together as well as non big rush, others. and they will continue as they were, except that by may 2002 they will by then they will have discussed with each other and studied and see what the, the various production because they have to revise the production. and that is natural because the market there was like a change in my change and of course a lot of the ceiling and the major punches asked to change. the vision is nothing unusual, but it seems to have been instigated or assaulted by the u. a is so the world outside don't pick groups and some major national companies like russia that can

produce that cannot produce very much because of that, ivan spirit increased for the produce to have assured us this is this group has done in the past now, together with non opec that they are responsible group, they will provide it as it will require a growing number of politicians in the philippines are accusing present. rodriguez tanti of corruption with one year left in his turn. it's raise questions about future law suits, but his daughter currently needs the polls to replace him and attacked. is that to be considering running for vice president jewel alan doug has bought from the capital. it must up when the young, when do 3 good to 31. the presidential election in 2016. he promised to bring on president change to the philippines by ending corruption within his 1st 6 months in office. but as he enters the final year of his term,
