flooding in parts of western germany, calling the destruction surreal and terrifying. and the crisis in europe is only getting worse, more heavy rain as have parts of eastern germany, austria and the czech republic. at least a 183 people are now confirmed to have died, but that number is expected to rise as the water receives. while marco has visited the worsted village of chute, where about 12000 residents were effected, she promised that swift financial aid and said the country was getting better and faster at tackling climate change. the nether meanwhile remains on high alert and the army has been brought in to reinforce stikes and carry out emergency repairs. and while the rain has stopped in belgium, a huge cleanup is underway. as the search for survivors continues, there will be a national day of mourning on tuesday. we begin our coverage in germany and adam rainy reports from the village of destruction on

a scale hardly imaginable. people in short, germany are clearing out what the flood waters left behind at a local guest house in bery, they're taking stock and saving whatever they can with fish and fish are going to start food either sugar line of also stonecrest or old bar manager. michael croy shows us how high the water rose here often. there's some saturday was meant to be the brewery, the grand opening after a 4 month renovation. now he says he'll be lucky if they open within a year. because charlotte was annoyed on that thought that i will not thousands, i'm not in. everything in the cellar was destroyed. the heating system, everything technical and the cooling. we're talking at least 3 quarters of a 1000000 euros to replace it all. with recovering clean up effort fully underway, chancellor marco came to this region on sunday, promising give these people what they need and she was clearly touched by what she thought is, is escalate. it's terrifying. i would say there is no word in the german language

to describe this devastation. but what i witness is incredibly comforting. it's how people are sticking together, how they helping each other, the solar that the among people. the mercury cabinet is scheduled to meet on wednesday where, according to report, they'll approve billions of years in relief and reconstruction funds down in the village. it's all hands on deck. volunteers didn't come from across germany to help out the burner knowing if in his 2 friends came from the neighboring village. don, all it's crazy to see old as people have now become poorer from one day to the next . they can use all the help they can get back at the bar, michel croyt says he doesn't have time for the sadness to sleep in help. his started to arrive and he wants to focus on reopening as soon as he can adarine al jazeera short of germany. well,

the flood waters receding in germany are now passing through the netherlands, steadfast and reports from new bergen. so we scary moments still here for people living along the river the most as it's at its highest level in many, many years. and that means that there have been working throughout the night, the army police residence, everyone came together to, to work with sand back to strengthen and then for the dikes, there were some correct damages at certain places what was coming through. so it was really an emergency situation. i spoke to a residence well, very, very nervous. but they really didn't want to leave. they wanted to help to enforce dykes because that's what the dutch, of course are known for. they know their battle against water, their battle against nature, while they're now being challenged to the max. they never really expected it to be here and this part of the country because this is a part that's above sea level. this is where in the south where everyone thought

everyone would be safe, but that apparently didn't work with this. extreme wider methodologist have sat for this kind of rainfall. we don't have any models. we don't know how to dig, how much water could go to the rivers and how strongly die, just because that's not a concern. this water is basically soaking the dikes right now. and that's really worrying the authority was still continuing on the subject of the european flood situation in belgium. tens of thousands of people are without electricity. there's also concern about the supply of clean drinking water that's actually on there is in years with the latest on search and rescue efforts there. 100 thousands of people have actually had to leave their home for stouter 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 damaged by the flood 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 older 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 of the flood waters kids and perhaps 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, in the years,

are trying to clean up, trying to save what they can, even though there's not much to say because everything has been so badly impacted. so as we've been hearing, parts of europe are reeling from the effects of heavy rain. meanwhile, flooding in russia is the problem in russia is wildfires. people in parts of siberia have been told to stay home and keep the windows closed. to avoid smoke from wildfires raging throughout the region and more than $100.00 navy wildfires of burnt at least 8000 square kilometers. almost 2500 firefighters are working in the area with many who've been flown in from other regions of russia. the military is using heavy lift claims to douse the fires with water while fires in the region are expected every summer. it become much more intense with unusually high temperatures in recent years. it is still going, so that's ok. it's old, it goes over the draw pretty good for the 3rd year trade. we're not getting the

rain and it's usually get we pay for the rain, but it doesn't come back. we can't see each other because of the our eyes are burning and it's very dangerous. for the health of us, the villages we see on television clients that are dropping was on the burning forest, but they aren't sending these planes to pos for some reason. was they no health or coming up on al jazeera, this news, our despite treacherous terrain, and armed groups focused on makes progress on the fencing off the border with the dentist on 8 mash and grab. but the british grand prix of louis hamilton causes his title rival to crush off the track. jemma is going to have all the details in fort ah, the afghan government and taliban have issued a joint statement following another round of talks and kept every capital. they've agreed to speed up discussions aimed at finding common ground will. earlier the

de la de la, who tanked his company host and said that he's hopeful that these talks are being to pave the way forward. but while these positive sentiments were being discussed, there was also the disagreements that were, that we saw between the taliban and the other side when it came to the issue of thousands of taliban prisoners, which according to their agreement with the united states, were supposed to be released sanctions lifts from the united nations. the name was supposed to be removed and they were supposed to get a, a government which according to them is going to be inclusive and is going to be representing a wide spectrum of, of fun. but that seem student not have happened is not included in the joint declaration, but both sides say that they've made progress towards trying to reach a solution the understand each other. and this is something which of the taliban side alluded to as well. optimists will say that this is a positive development that they have agreed on a joint declaration. but other side of people who don't see it as rosy as others

would predict. see that the taliban or the other side are dragging their feet since september. these talks have not yielded any positive results. there has been no real impact. there has been no real sci fi as no deduction in violence on the ground, and advanced on the battlefield continues to heat up as talks continue. in the meanwhile, the main border crossing to pakistan has been partially reopened. after the taliban seized the afghans side on wednesday, hundreds of afghans have rushed to the frontier in small groups of be allowed into chairman in pakistan. the crossing is an economic lifeline for southern gannon, with agricultural exports and other goods passing through it. african soldiers are currently trying to retake the border town. well, the african package on border is one of the most dangerous on the planet and not just because of the violence. the terrain itself is treacherous. but that hasn't stopped pakistan from building a fence, which is now nearly complete football. hi,
