contact i will come back next month at the end of august, so that we will show you that we are in it for the long haul. and we know it will take time to rebuild. thank you. me but i have the nice nice nice to see madam chance of automatic 1st of all comment madam transfer. thank you so much for coming and visiting. that is a region that has been ravaged by flood zone. it does not look the way it used. we don't recognize where we are. in many cases, it's been a situation that maps traumatized. if you know the lovely region, if you know that women seats us via ancestor home, i will mention it to class. and i know at 1st you've just been listening to the words of translate, angle and miracle. she has been visiting the devastated flood area there in our

viola. earlier in the day she was sure, but you heard some very strong and emotional words from the chance. she said that she was going to ensure that there was disaster relief for this area. she talked about the solidarity of the country. you should say the solidarity will be there. and she did say that very realistically, it was gonna take a very long time to rebuild. and she said that we all witnessed, of course, the, the violence of nature. but again, i think some of the troops are there on the ground, so to speak, talked about the very strong will of the people who were affected by their survivors, as well as those many who are morning. clearly. she said, which i think was very crucial, of course, that she would go back back to berlin, back to the capital, to talk to law makers and to make sure that there was a great deal of focus on polly's making regarding climate change. that has been the great development from this. this terrible tragedy of climate change is at the top

of the agenda. she also mentioned that she will be back next month, clearly stating that this was an effort on her part to make sure that the community sees that she as chancellor and the politicians in general are in this for the long hall. this was not temporary says we have standing by on the ground at julia's sal delhi. and also here in the studio with me, our political correspondent manual shares. let's go over to julia who is insured, where the chancellor was earlier today. i'm really curious as we heard what the chancellor had to say, how do you think that people, they're insured would react to what to what she just said. well, what people told me earlier is exactly what the chancellor then said. it's the question of being here in the long term. they don't want their towns to be forgotten after the immediate aftermath of the tragedy. they want the government to

be there for a long time because they're very aware about the fact that it will take months if not years to clean up and rebuild. and one thing they really wanted to stress is that they don't want to see support waning in the next few weeks. they want, they want to see it stick. how are people doing today? well they are tired because it's now a few days that they've been working on trying to clean up their, their town very hard. they are grateful for all the supports that has come in. it is really touching to see how many people from all over from construction workers, to gardeners, to all sorts of different walks of life, come here, bring their own equipment and really work hard to try to, to help the people here. the residents are also preparing meals for the volunteers and trying to help them also. so everyone is very distraught and tired, but also grateful for all the support here. want to bring in the political correspondence manual, a shot here in the studio with me. emmanuel,

what did you make of chancellor michaels speech while it was very moving and he could also and you could also really see how to move to chance it has says is just before she addressed people, she was a walking through the city of show like a town or showed that has been so affected and you can, you could see her visibly moved. she also talked to some of the rescuers, she found them for their work. she assured that the federal government would definitely fine and financially assist them. we also so her working next to minute hire, who is the state premier of ryan and her last name, the west affected region with over 100 people who died in the aftermath during those flaws. so we did a message from angle america was 1st condolences and also the assurance that

the the reassurance that the federal governor would do something would be hate here in the long haul. and you mentioned, she said she would come back, she will be back in the region in a month it must be coming to some extent for some of the survivors there to hear the chancellor talking about the fact that this area is clearly going to be impacted economically and the government will be there behind them, but i wonder whether you were waiting to hear a little bit more details about that. we didn't hear about the euro's that might be dedicated to this, but i imagine maybe it's still early days. it's only days, but also finance minister all our shelves already said that at least $300000000.00 euros would be unblocked as quickly as possible to respond to the immediate aftermath of the flood. so figures have been evoked history. does she have him named right now? but i think right now it was really important that the german chancellor came there

and assess the situation by her. this is 4 days after the floods happen, then usually angle america leave the way from to, to, to react way more prompt to react on such events. she's known to be the crisis chancellor, but we have to keep in mind that we have to get she's not to see her taking center stage because there's only 2 months left before the german general elections. and she's not trying it. she's not running for a fist mandate. julie, so dairy of course, is still on the ground. they're enrolled, you know, julia, we have been talking for the past several days now. and you have expressed the fact that the collective feeling in some of their towns were really hit by this tragedy, or some, somewhat skeptical about how the government would respond. do you believe that the people on the ground there need to hear a little bit more about the euros that are going to be spent there?

and how exactly are going to be allocated? definitely one woman i spoke to this morning said the numbers she was hearing until now were clearly not enough to even repair. one of the many, many towns that have been effective issue is also that such a wide area has been hit by the flooding and not just one town. it's multiple and the damage is so big that we're talking huge sums of money. and people here were a little skeptical with the initial proposition. so i think they really hope to hear that it more is going to be coming. sometimes truly, you can gauge at the sort of the collective sense in a place by whether they're there. they're listening, leaning into radios or watching the television here in the media. we're all sitting with rapt attention waiting to hear what the chance will have to say. but what was going on as you're transferred. we're speaking where you are, where people actually listening to a chantelle, a nickel, or are they going by their daily lives here trying to literally dig themselves back

to normal? well, some people here were complaining that when a chance to america came here for her visit. they had to shut off a lot of roads and that was hindering the arrival of volunteers were here to try and help. so that was also something that people complained about while others i was talking to a woman nearby and i told her the chancellor is coming and she said, well, you know, i have to prepare sandwiches for the volunteers. so they didn't really take too much time away from what they're doing here because they do have a lot of work to do to wait and greet the chancellor. julie, i'm going to ask you to stand by as well as, as you're in the studio with me and update our viewers on what's been going on with this flooding. the disaster area in germany stretches between the stretch, the districts of hines berg f start and i, viola near the border with the netherlands and belgium. a massive clean up operation is underway as rescue cruise search for survivors. the w reported k brady

has just report from some of the flooded villagers around von, the destruction endeavouring on every corner. the only found on the street mud being scraped away and tractors, rumbling through the ones picturesque town of violence. in violet, 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 seems 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 recon jill smith. he said he couldn't react quickly enough to move along. and 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, on cooking, but at least where

a life of the navy, if there were so many this is all. it's unbelievable. you can't imagine what happened here. he's pushed the part, the other volunteers, family and friends have travelled far and wide, violent to help those effected the here clearing homes while supplying people with the basics. monthly stick 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 the supply to them over the balcony. fire the garbage room. the already for please give many locals right now. one financial help from the state quickly and with his little red tape as possible. further north and f that a donation banker, the school has been overwhelmed with clothes and food. donations have stopped now because they just kept coming. it just became too much. those 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 mind them. and i think that should be an official from the city that you can talk to here. even if they don't have much new to say, but at least then you'd have the feeling that they care for, for the men to come to come. and we don't know whether we'll get in our house again at all. or can you even live that i've been originally gone forever? the 1st one. so many of those affected that question could take weeks, months, if not years to be answered. back live in berlin studio, d w reporter julie, shout deli, is on the ground for us in the town of fool and our political correspondent and then wash as is right here with me. i want to direct my next question to you julia . we've been talking of course, about the many who have died 156 at this point. we haven't talked so much about

those who are still unaccounted for and missing at this hour. what can you tell us about the efforts that are still, i believe, you know, on the ground taking place right now with the weather coming a little bit. i imagine that those efforts must be a little bit more encouraging. the police here in the area said that they were using helicopters to search for the missing because it is a very difficult terrain right now because the, the whole valley that goes wrong along the river has been been completely disrupted . the towns, part of the towns are not there anymore. the roads are completely destroyed. so it is also really hard to reach certain places. so the police have said they do fear that the number of casualties will rise and they are continuing with their efforts to, to find them back in the studio with a manual manual. i don't need to tell you this, but you know,

legacies are made and electrons are won or lost in times of crisis, often times. and sometimes there's crisis or environmental ones. we've been talking for the past couple days about armand lash. of course, the front runner candidate for the conservatives, and he's involved right now in a bit of a political controversy. what is the latest on that and explained again to viewers what's going on? well, yesterday, german president talking about the time i was giving his condolences to people affected by the florida in north and west valia, where i mean lash at is actually state premier. and i mean last, it was present only he was laughing in the background while the president was giving, extending his condolences and didn't go down quite well with the german population . and in particular, with people who have been affected. this moment was filmed. it will shed on social media quite widely in over the next 2 hours of it being published,

it was viewed more than a 1000000 times, and i mean it quite promptly apologized for it. he said that his attitude had been inappropriate, but the damage had been done with many questioning. just how fits he would be the chancellor if he couldn't even be serious. such a sombre, such a grave, our watching it on the air. now, of course, you could see mister latter there with his, his face circled in red. do you believe this could very well hurt his chances to become the next translator? yes, because it's not the 1st controversy on thursday, he was answering a job done. that is questions or rather he didn't want to really to dwell on his truck record in terms of environmental questions in his state of no, to west valia. and obviously after such torrential floods and such dramatic events happening in his region. he's expected to do so interesting,

we will be watching that. that is it for the coverage of the chancellors press conference in the flood ravaged areas in the district of iowa. you're watching d. w. news y from berlin. you can get all the latest news and information on our website that e w dot com. i'm michael, look for me and the team here. thanks so much for watching the news . the easy visual in face. how come face? how the in my thinking, if you'll just look at the, i'll show that chubby my head. you know, i have i, let's just,

someone who has south, according to my personality, me the guy that we expected to the man who has to be externally and achieved this. well, she has to work on her on her starting from her guards. did she get mad do? did it impact the science? teach them as humans? in fact, they will just decide which means what the my
