the water has subsided, and it's only now that the real true extent of the damage caused by the floods is really coming to light. a lot of people are returning to their homes for the 1st time since the flood the seems a devastating for those returning the owners of this home moved in only 6 months ago. the flood water reached halfway up the walls of the 1st floor. the snow guy couldn't react quickly enough to move our belongings when we had to sit upstairs for 24 hours because the fire service came and asked, have you been hurt? if not, then you'll have to manage on your own in cooking, but at least we're a life of the navy. if there were so many that this is the only, it's unbelievable. you can't imagine what's happening here. he's pushed back the park, the other the volunteers, family and friends have travelled far and wide to violate to help those affected the here clearing homes while supplying people with the basics. for long switch to

question for tied trouble. this morning i was handing out breakfast down by the river. there was a family that couldn't come out of the house. so i got this apply to them over the balcony. fire the garbage room. the all the for many locals right now. one financial help from the state quickly and with this little red tape as possible. further north and f that a donation banker, the school has been overwhelmed with clothes and food. donations of stopped now because they just kept coming. it just became too much. there's definitely plenty of willingness to help. some locals evacuated from after that this week and also being sheltered at the school. many feel left in the dark, doesn't you mind them? and i think they should be an official from the city that you can talk to here. even if they don't have much new to say all, but at least then you'd have the feeling that they care for the men to come to come

on. we don't know whether we'll get in our house again at all. can you even live they're going to pneumonia rigid all gone forever? when so many of those affected that question could take weeks months if not years to be answered. brady, there with a view of the situation in the villages near cologne and bon also in that region as the w report of martha in the town of cincy to the south of cologne, k, tell us what happened exactly where you are now. so just behind me is a residential home for disabled people, and this is sadly where 12 of the residents here, 1232 residents, i tragically drowned as they were unable to reach the higher ground that home in time. so if you look behind me here, you can see where the water level reach just above the false floor, just about the fast windows and tragically because the footboard came in so fast,

they were unable to be safe and to 12 of them lost their lives. here and i took a walk around the building a slightly earlier, and what i saw that was really, really sad. i saw people who's been longing, they looked in the windows and saw that bed and a cop on the table. and a picture on the floor and you really get a feel for how these are each individual. one is, is a tragedy in itself. devastating what happened there. and as the hours passed, we now turn to ask how this could have happened. so that's a really good question and it's one here. everyone in this village has been asking people just don't understand why some of the most memorable people here in the city in the town was not rescued in time. and some people in the some residents. i asked the neighbor across the road from the herman she told me that they didn't receive any warning along the street. and other people say yes, they were one. but at the same time, the water just came in an unprecedented be that people just want able to be saved,

but definitely the question remains on everyone's lips. how did this tragedy happen? how exactly other residents coping? it all sounds so completely traumatic. yes. so there definitely is a sense or kind of collective trauma here, but was there definitely kind of gallows humor which is getting people through, through people trying to make the best of a bad situation. but they did say some of the resident told me that they had the screams, that people were trying to escape some of the residents across the road. and they, you know, it's something like that. it's just gonna stay with these people for, for a long time. since it is just one of the villages and towns in this region devastated by the flood, give us a sense if you can of what these places were like before that leaves. so this area of germany is actually really beautiful area. so i'm and usually,

and that's what makes this tragedy even harder to understand is actually dominate wine country. there a vines growing on the hills wide and the river wet, which ad should be overflowed, is usually of incredibly small and very river. and this is where people come on holidays, so it just, this really brings them the kind of destruction and the chaos that people just want expecting in this corner of western germany. from the town of syncing nick alone, the deb leave reporter kate mother. thank you so much. jim and president frank felt the stein maya has visited the town of f stuff where a giant sink hole caused major damage. donna was joined by state premier, i'm in lasha, who's the front runner to succeed. anglo medical as chancellor president says, the scale of the loss is hard to comprehend. keyless hello or no money has been lost and will not be easily replaced. it may not be. and again,

actually not abandoned all to abandon all those people who are affected. and so this was also a message of hope that no fram this stay premier unless it was who is also a conservative candidate for the chancellor. was there, he was also enough that what role is he seeking to play here? well, you know, he's the stay premier of one of the west effected region. no one was fall. yes. so he's place is in his constituency in this hour of need. but of course, we cannot ignore the fact that this situation best of very so i can resemblance to what's happened nearly 2 decades ago when get helped. who was campaigning for his reelection? for a 2nd mandate, a german chancello. well, those flows in 2000 and 2nd, really invited themselves in the latest campaign, and that's a very similar area. it's very similar to what i mean lash at. who's the front runner in the next?

the next election is he's experiencing right now. he hasn't been very successful so far and also he's a track record in terms of environmental policies in north one. west valia has been criticized for example, that he hasn't plans of coal existence phase out quicker than 2038. even though he said in may that he might try to accelerate that process. but you know, so d construction of new a wind turbines. so he does have a lot to answer for in that environmental question in the region. if we're to view this through the climate change lens, could these floods shape the federal election in september while the climate change a question definitely took center stage following this disaster, these natural catastrophe. and of course, now the candidates of program, especially when it comes to environmental questions, will be highly scrutinized not only by the germans in the regions affected by,
