the years president will be visiting kentucky given that is where we are seeing most of the impact from these tornadoes. what he'll be doing is getting a detailed update on the extent of the devastation he wants to be able to look at it 1st hand. so he can advise his agencies or how best to help people answer inform them about what is available in terms of resources. sometimes you can't exactly ask for it if you don't know what exists. so the present spoke specifically about that . he wants to make sure people know what help is out there so they can get it as soon as possible. but this is had a big impact on joe biden. he has gravely concerned about the future, how families will pick up, particularly how children can go back to school. and given the fact that there have been dozens of deaths, you have to remember that there are thousands of people that have been impacted by this. and for many, it will be impossible to return to a new normal take a listen to what the president had to say. this is just meant that the city may

feel residential, commercial exempt government in historical agriculture. shedra just, i mean the god, yes, somebody probably wrote it down. it's just devastated. and so i worry, quite frankly about, like i said, the mental health for these people come home and you see that if you made it and if you haven't lost someone in the meantime, you know, thank god, it doesn't seem like the numbers are quite as high as for anticipated, but they're high come home, you've lost your husband, white mother, father and children. somebody on the line. and what do you do? where do you go? not like if you're making $60000.00 a year, you know, get the plane and head to your relative in washington. kimberly, the president declared climate change to be a top priority of his administration. and so given the unusual timing and severity

of these tornadoes, does he believe that climate change is the cause of this particular disaster? well, he certainly investigated. that's the question. so many are asking, given the fact that december isn't typically tornado season and this touch so many states all at once. and so that has many people asking that very question is climate change to to blame? the worst president says is tricky. ice. having his environmental protection agency team look at this storm, but the reason they can't make the determination just yet is the fact that, you know, a lot of this is new and there just isn't the observational data that exists to really compare and make that determination. so they're looking at this carefully, of course, there has been a pattern of extreme weather that's on the rise in the united states. much of that, joe biden has attributed to climate change, whether it's historic rain falls, flooding. even those wild fires we've seen in the west as they're looking at this

very carefully. what they do know right now is that this is certainly unusual at what they can't determine just yet, but they're hoping to in the future is whether or not this was a freak occurrence. or whether we're going to see this again. kimberley hays kit with the latest there from the white house. kimberly thank you. staying the u. s. an investigation has been opened into the collapse of an amazon warehouse. at least 6 people were killed when a tornado hit the building in edward's vill in illinois the u. s, occupational safety and health administration is 6 months to complete. the inquiry amazon could face fines if violations over workplace safety are found. so to come in this half hour conflict and unreliable rains leave at 5 and a half 1000000 people struggling for food on the edge of the sahara. and the historic handshake as the leaders of israel and the united arab emirates meet for
