which suggests that the left wing had indeed stole. but to say the asian term for running out of lift when it's not got enough airflow over the wing surface. basic part of training for all pilots to be able to cope with stalls and to recover from them. and particularly not to get into a stalled condition in the 1st place. so we don't know how that happened. and by the time they were trying to recover, it was already too late. ah, the number of people killed in saturday's russian missile attack on an apartment building in the southeast as now sword to 30 rescue workers and any pro are scrambling to look for survivors trapped in the rubble. dozens are believed to be still missing from keith. here's natasha butler. i smoke billows from the rubble is rescue is continued to search for survivors in city,

1617 days a stacking of these atmospheric rivers, the likes of which we have not experienced in our lifetimes. atmospheric rivers, or long streams of moisture from the tropics, the cotton, the jet stream, and carry tremendous amounts of water. this is just the latest one flooding caitlin clancys home 3 times since the beginning of the month. and the cleanup was off all . but you know, we cleaned it up and then next thing you now as far as like what 6 days was it. and i know i was letting again. so we are in shock because even though we prepped for it, we didn't prep for it to get as high as it had. and so that was even more mass, mar, destruction. it's impacting much of the state in the mountains dumping $54.00 centimeters of snow in just 24 hours in the hills charged by wild fires. the soil is unable to retain much moisture in the long term. that means all of this rain will

do little to ease california's drought right now. it's causing major mudslides and sending massive boulders into valleys. roads are being washed away, sink holes, making travel impossible, and in drought stricken california. thousands of trees weaken by the floods are now be knocked down by wind gusts of up to 96 kilometers an hour. people have been killed and power knocked out for tens of thousands. this major emergency declaration will allow cities and states to use some federal money to help cover the costs of the rescues and the recovery. it will provide grants to people who need to find temporary shelters or make minor repairs for those who don't have insurance, they can get low interest loans from the government to help them rebuilt. more people will need that help. the next atmospheric river is expected to hit sunday evening, and last through monday, patty gl haine al jazeera washington. tens of thousands in the spanish capital have

you al jazeera teaching. for months, people across europe needing basic medicines have found them harder to get. the european medicines agency says there's a shortage of 13 drugs commonly needed to treat conditions, including covered 19 and cancer. dominic cain reports from berlin in the laboratory as the dell pitch pharmacy in paris. medicines are being prepared. in this case, it's the common antibiotic amoxicillin. the owner here says since people stopped wearing masks, they are catching more infections again. so the demand for simple medication is higher and the major pharmaceutical companies cannot keep up. the shortage of medicine applies across europe. at this berlin pharmacy staff are increasingly having to find alternative drugs to those doctors are prescribed in order to help their patients. and i'm going, i'm there for me at so basically we have a lot more work to do to supply the population with medicine so far it still

somehow found a solution for people, but we often have to improvise. so sometimes we release another active ingredient more strongly than was prescribed and being had to adjust the dosage. wanted even simple treatments to treat coughs. and colds are harder to come. bye. m. i, i would have preferred a cough syrup, but the pharmacist offered it to me in tablet or that's okay. the most important thing is it helps the same active ingredient is in it. same such side of the problem is not just affecting simple painkillers and antibiotics across the continents. the european medicines agency says currently 13 key drugs are in short supply to offer fighting, arthritis, and help combat the symptoms of cove is another 2. but to help patients who had a heart attack or stroke among the remainder or drugs to fight leukemia, diabetes. and to prevent the rejection of transplants. one of germany's leading oncologists told me why he believes this is happening. the major problem is that

most production sites are not close to us, so they're not and you have anymore, but they're like an india and china was a ship or 2. it makes a very complex supply chain, not only and providing the basic product puzzles to get it. so you get it. the solution was a new and thus souping, comp commission has decided to give incentives for protection. so in you of what that takes decades. right now, some say the you need to consider building up a stock of 3 to 4 month supply of most needed medications. so that shortages can be avoided back at the pharmacy and listen back. patients are still getting the treatments they need, but it's clear that stop here and across europe a having to improvise solutions for their customers. dominant cane al jazeera berlin. a group of millionaires has joined climate activists calling for higher
