a week of writing and the inequality and poverty behind the young. i'm rob reynolds in 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. ah, thank you very much for joining us. german chancellor. i'm going to merkel has described the scenes in flood damage. village is so real and ghostly, and the crisis in parts of europe is only getting worse. more heavy rain has hit parts of eastern germany, austria, and the czech republic. at least 183 people confirmed dead, but that number is expected to rise. adam rainy reports from showed a gemini destruction on a scale hardly imaginable. people in short, germany are clearing out with 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, initial food, either fish, good. and i'm also trying to salt all bar manager, michael croyt. it shows us how high the water rose here often there's some saturday was meant to be the brewery, the grand opening, after 4 month renovation. now he says he'll be lucky if they open within a year the cushion line and was annoyed on the thought that i will not thousands and no one in everything in the cellar was destroyed. the heating systems and 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 this a 2nd? it's terrifying. i would say there's 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 solidarity among people. the merkel cabinet is scheduled to meet on wednesday, where, according to report, they'll approve billions of years in relief and we construction funds down in the village. it's all hands on deck volunteers that come from across germany to help out the burner knowing if in his 2 friends came from the neighboring village and you're going to get all it's crazy to see all this. people have now become poorer from one day to the next. they can use all the help they can get back at the bar. michelle 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 algebra, short of germany. the fact water is that are receiving from germany are now passing through the netherlands and reports from new back. and yes,

how are 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 enforce the dykes. there were some correct damages at certain places water was coming through. so it was really an emergency situation. i spoke to a residence well, 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 i've known for. they know their battle against water, their battle against nature. well, they're now being challenged to the max. they never really expected it to be here and this part of the country because there's 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 strong the status, because that's not a concern. this water is basically soaking to dikes right now. and that's really worrying the authority. and natasha butler is in lea edge in belgium, with the latest on a search and rescue efforts. belgium, where tens of thousands of people remain without electricity. hundreds, thousands of people have actually had to leave their homes forced out by the flood waters. and then there are those people who tried 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 too damaged biting some 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 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 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 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 . several houses have collapsed, killing at least 33 people after land slice caused by heavy rain in india,

financial capital. rescuers fear more people could be trapped in the debris in more by, in one neighborhood, half a dozen shacks class on top of each other, authority, se, rainwater inundated a water purification complex, disrupting supply to launch part of the city. a. now the world news, the afghan government and the taliban have issued a joint statement, agreeing to speed up discussions to find common ground and talks held here in doha . the taliban express disagreement with proposals on it. political roadmap and constitution for i've got it done. it's demanding the release of $7000.00 prisoners by the afghan delegation says a ceasefire is its top priority. without a deal, there is concern as civil war could erupt. once the withdrawal of us troops is complete osama bin drive, it has been monitoring the talks from the venue in bo, after 2 days of negotiating, the taliban and the gun government side being led by doctor de la de la, have come to a joint declaration where they have agreed that there is going to be

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. the stalks have not yielded any positive results. there has been no real impact. there has been no real cease fires. no deduction in violence on the ground and advanced on the battlefield continues to heat up as talks continue in the a major border crossing between pakistan and afghanistan has been partially reopened. after the taliban seized control of the gun side on wednesday, hundreds of afghans have arrived at the frontier with small groups allowed to come on in pakistan. it's an economic lifeline for southern afghan. expand with

our last outbreak, the big wave in january, which was caused by the circle, kent or alpha variance. what will we seeing in terms of cases in hospital and what we're seeing in terms of those cases in hospital translating into mortality, some crone of ours. and it's like night and day. it couldn't be more different because now what we're saying is very high level, $50000.00 cases that we know about per day. but what we're not seeing of those cases translating into people in hospital or thank goodness people who are passing away. there's a very, very significant difference between when we had previous outbreaks and now, and this is being attributed to the impact of the vaccine with 90 percent of u. k. adults having had at least one dose to vaccine and close to 70 percent. having had 2 doses of the vaccine, which is the crucial number that we think we need to combat the belt of air in which is accounting for the vast majority of cases and now. so it's that difference which is giving the government the confidence to say, well,

despite these cases will nevertheless now open things up. and we will actually allow people to go about their business. but they're not saying don't do these things. don't use public health measures don't use face covering while they are saying is it will no longer be a legal requirement to do a lot of these things. and they sort of pushing the bug people in vietnam's capital . i know we have been orders to stay home from monday as new classes of corona virus spread. non essential services have been stopped including public transport services to southern provinces. 3 quarters of recent infections have been detected in the south, including hoshi, mean city. the half ministry has sent ventilators and thousands of workers to haunt hate. areas. to athletes have now tested positive for covey. 19 in the tokyo olympic village on saturday, an 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. south
