a good feeling this is the deb you news live from berlin, coming up after the break doc film, extreme climate events. what could the future print on exposure to watch? imagine how many portion full floods are thrown out in the world. climate change can be very hot. the stores. this is my plan, the way from just one week. how much work can really get we still have time to go. i'm going all with. what with

the memories are still vivid. on may 29th, 2016 disaster struck the village of pounds back and south western germany. oh, the cut us off herself. i literally watched the flight away from debris heading towards manning the floor and it made a noise as well lunch. and i couldn't figure out what it was exactly. then i realize how to help the whole house were shaking policy pos, mayer. hon. cash film, the catastrophe unfolding in front of him said, who are the ones in it's in st. completely insane. before you know, the emergency services can't do anything. it's not impossible right now. out of the question. my god said, pounds bottle life financial kilt i was in shock. i couldn't even begin to process what i was saying. mr. arnold. although no lives were lost,

the flood left the village. devastated. is it so terrible? i'm speechless of people. people have never seen anything like it. a few years later, germany suffering the effects of a different kind of extreme weather. in 20182019 temperatures rose above 40 degrees celsius in the summer with no rain for months on end rivers tried up a disaster for the local environment and its inhabitants. your hut in last year there was no rainfall here in the region for more than 70 day line. and then in summer 2021 the our valley in western germany was hit by flash flooding. let's as you looked at and all of a sudden we were confronted with issues that we'd always thought only affected somewhere else in the world. in places like bangladesh or dramatic,

whether fluctuations have become commonplace. what does the future hold and what do we need to do? to cope with climate change. ah ah, we begin our research in vintage park in the home secretion. an idyllic spot at the foot of the storm via forest. on june 5th 20215 weeks before the flooding in the eye valley. a summer storm wreaked havoc here. the picturesque village was overwhelmed and yolk and bowman's home was among the many destroyed. he and his wife, marianna, will never forget that day, a traumatic experience that edged in their memory the basement

was completely flooded. the couple had only just finished renovating their home and now had to start all over again from scratch. they own a heating installation business, so at least they could do a lot of the work themselves out near the olive. on the 3rd, the sca murphy up for if we just got everything finished in here. mark smith, 5 or 6 years ago with fitted the house out with external thermal insulation for energy efficiency and switched from fossil fuels to an air to water heat pump inside. yet we done the garden too, and we're actually looking forward to concentrating on other things. agnes, i'm motor that make her wanted. i love that on that when it wasn't to be after hours of torrential rain fall over the local forest hills, the village was hit by a deluge. mm hm. i quickly prelim doesn't come. i can't get the

image is out of my hand is i often look at the photos we took. it really got to me shoved ah, marian bomb and still can't believe what happened. the ryan and the motor often burst their banks that villages that are nowhere near major rivers shouldn't be at risk of flooding. locals simply weren't prepared. the bellman still haven't gotten over the experience. bush answered on to host and i was terrified that the front door would break and the water would rush in. from upstairs, we could see the pressure building. we could see the door starting to give way. if a market the was guns for the water was up to here, this year is was a gun. so anti yard was under water here a little nobody watched on winter book as situated in a valley in the hunts like mountains. the village is nestled in the stone by

a forest, the source of the watcher that caused such damage. forest landscapes. how fast water storage capacity soaking up heavy rainfall like a sponge. but in recent years, this has no longer been happening as efficiently as it used to van had pound batter is in charge of the local forestry service. he and his colleague michael fake are going to show us what the problem is. with the flooding inventor book and other religious down in the valley is linked to the state of the forest. it's increasingly try here where they're digging. even the beach trees are showing signs of drought

damage and beaches aren't usually very sensitive. it actually rained a lot in the summer of 2021. but how much rain did the ground actually absorb? it soon transpires not much at all seats. yes, you can see its own dry. well, it has trout to become a long term problem. both shifting about the hut and he and derrick yawn in late last year. there was no rainfall here in the region for more than 70 days. improvised. can there cost alone area? it didn't rain for over a $100.00 days. yes. the by the 1st of august 2021. there was still a deficit of over 250 liters per square meter meter. hard to imagine, we're given the years over all weather, but it goes to show how severe the lack of rainfall has been in the last 3 years.

gosh, last if it's he to in. and it's been yarn in ellipse that i on ninety's vaughn as hard that explains there needs to be 2 months, a steady rain fall day and night to make up for the drought of recent years. he also says that the forest needs to be managed differently in the past water used to be trained from the forest these days he and his team are laying pipes and taking trenches in his own fight in order to replenish the watershed and retained the water that collects on the logging roads, but the aim is to ensure it seeps into the ground across the forest instead of flying into the valley and causing to watch away stair to post their bank. live all to live your home yours. if he'd a better all he, ems on vote back loy for de la, there are lots of streams here in the soon vas i'd pull the elbow and make the griffin bert and it was striking how quickly their water level was. rose in just

a short space of time here in the soon vault just when it rained a massive amount of water collected in a concentrated area. thick woods, it was pretty frightening. left in its own boat. one dug positives, as far as the song being seemed. when the storm had the forest couldn't absorb the torrential rain, the logging roads were crippled and had to be rebuilt. now deeper trenches and larger pipes have been put in place to re route heavy rainfalls to points in the forest where it can sleep into the ground. yet i shall damn it. da speed is up flush bits, inflation couldn't. what that does is avert excessive runaway. and allow ground water to replenish lungs. i'm on the water is distributed slowly and steadily across the forest floor. i swear it's absorbed. who causes in terms of the local ecosystem. it means there's enough water to sustain the forest as a natural resource. again, leaving squalid head between for us as lemons from florida to for fuels did than

had found better, has plenty to upgrade the whole forest this way. it's a small but significant way of helping to reduce the effects of extreme weather. the next up on our research trip is in northern germany. every year hamburg host the extreme weather congress. it brings together weather and climate researchers, as well as environmental activists. the event aimed to reach as many people as possible in the process, raising awareness of climate change and the need to act an urgent priority. not only from etiology, span praga, but also politicians and the likes of mo, she play chief, one of germany's leading climate. researchers the 2021 congress was overshadowed by the events in the us valley can if we need chain mission,

the choice isn't between more or less climate protection. that between proper radical, sustainable climate protection and climate disaster. that's where we're at. dam friday for future. yeah, there's fridays for future, i think. and in 2019, there was more discussion of the climate in the environment than there's ever been before. but in 2019 that same year before the pandemic hair toys, we also took more cruises and more flights than ever before. that there's a huge cognitive dissonance going on with and if we really want to get anywhere, then we need to have the courage to change. tom, these are the gets in the exports, attending the event. none of those drought and flooding will become increasingly common of the items i to in these a talking files and be with us yet. so i told math st. lawrence in on the one hand, there are protracted dry spells, as we saw in 2018, 2019, and 2021. and these weren't balanced out,

and there's always been the occasional dry year. but the but 3 in a row is conspicuous religous or done. and on the other hand of game, we can expect to see increasingly frequent storms and heavy rainfall. i'm very slow moving storms and flash flooding from bed. in general, the weather is becoming more extreme, but that's the bottom line of august you helped influence. while we were at the congress, we heard about an ambitious research project looking at extreme weather in this way, be in mountains. 10 german research institutes are pulling their resources, including cloud and precipitation radars and lasers in order to explore the complex processes that occur in the atmosphere. basic scientific research that allows them to better protect extreme weather events and their consequences. these scientists are waiting for stormy weather. this may be an alps are germany's main storm hotspot and storms are

a key aspect of extreme weather. professor merrick once is a meteorologist with as of yet, laza trauma was i. we're going to blow up our balloon. so we'll be ready if a storm starts to breathe in gentlemen. we've already set up the probes. so now we're going to load the balloons in the car, 6 or 7 of them fix it, and then we'll drive right into the store. the balloons are filled with helium, they'll carry small probes into the clouds and will enable the scientists to observe. hale formation occurring during the storm. hill is a typical feature of extreme weather. the team are excited. the clouds are gathering after hours of waiting. they now need to act fast

before they head into the storm. mere quince visits the lab to check the clouds activity. which direction are they drifting in and is the upwind or convection strong enough to carry the probes into the storm clouds with i'm like to wasn't like you saw doctor does when he got home. convection and shows a powerful lift off. when the rain bombs, it falls more or less vertical to the points where the up wind is basically it suppresses the up wednesday. so and that means that the standard lifetime of a single cell is on average 30 minutes to an hour. it destroys itself, as it was, he says, cup would get all that makes it all the more important to release the balloons in the right place at the right time. outside the storm cell is getting stronger. it's time for the scientists to launch their balloons

right here. positioned inside cuts, the probe's measure temperature and air pressure, as the balloons drift upwards through the storm. precisely where hale storms are forming inside the clouds. mckerick once can follow the action in real time. figure we've got a signal. are we going to use 3 balloons? because the rains got worse and we hope they'll take off. yeah, i've got a signal off. we go. one lord aren't stop. have lisa and the probes are inside the clouds taking the pos of the storm as it were yesterday of what i thought argument life i. fortunately, we're not in the middle of the storms out there of 5 centimeter hailstones coming down from the middle and then give our cars are good bashing on the top with it.

from here me here, constant as team can collect a wealth of useful data. there will help predict extreme weather events. we're planning to visit him in his lab and cars who are in a few weeks time back inventor book. the bowman's are still dealing with the flood damage. it's the weekend, but instead of putting their feet up, they're hard at work trying to make their home livable again. juergen bowman is haunted by memories of last july, when a gaping hole suddenly appeared in his yard and had to form alcohol or wild. if there was a power can't, because all the sockets were under water, lorne and how it was like being on a house boat or as millions of miles or so what exactly happened as i'm rather than out of by i was back of over the well this here is an old stream tunnel and there was so much pressure from underneath that it got pushed up with

a self supporting structure. and when it got pushed up it one stone breaks off and the structure collapses. driscoll, a film shot on his mobile phone shows the thing called that resulted right in front of his house. i 1st law got employees have worked with a hole in the garden, got bigger, hung then as solid wood garden bench got pulled into the current, got turned in circles a little high and was washed away by them. that was the point when i said to my husband, does roger okay? now i'm frightened. my father rakish august flu olive enamel offers one. it all disappeared into the whole of the lavon of the hall. the chairs are terra cotta. ornaments of it all got washed away from her. what happened here was nothing in comparison to the disaster in the our valley. round room, there was some damage. it's bad, it's a problem, but at least no one was heart. gluck. gun lynch withdrawn from the r

valley floods in july 2021 claimed 133 lives with 700 people left injured and 42000 others also affected. they were among the worst bloods and german history in the space of just a few hours. it rained as much as it usually does. in months. the german meteorological service called it unprecedented. insurance company said it was the most expensive weather related incident in 50 years. was damages totaling an estimated 10000000000 euros. just climate change means that such events are likely to become more frequent. we meet out, but geographers trauma hug and camp. and teresa shed idle in the village of my shots and the uh valley. they are trying to establish the precise water levels that

occurred during the flooding. not easy, given that many of the water gauges along the river got swept away. experts rely on them to analyze and predict flood events. investors tend to be a heist warden. what else? presidio highest warden have a little from his head was peeling this from one country directly to water levels on the outflow. far exceeded any flooding that happened since records began fivefold human. and, you know, we haven't seen water levels like that in recent history. and but if you look at the history of the, our valley, india, and you can see that in fact, these extreme events did occur. they were very rare, but not on known. overcome in 18 o 4, there was flooding in the our valley that caused similar damage. done obviously on a smaller scale because at that point and the valley was less built up top that us tied on myself. nice little in about bon here in my shes, the storms swept away

a number of houses and destroyed the local train line complete with most bridges. teresa tidal and tomas logan can from the university of bon, are using a fyodor light surveying tool to measure maximum flood heights across the valley. it helps them identify precise watcher levels at precise geographical location. with the brown color of this method shows just how far the washer road thomas sudden camp has been researching the history of blood in the our valley. for many years. this time, the watcher here with 10 meters higher than its normal level. the script a whole for soc is equal carbon, the latent, they can find the fisa falling in deutschland or, and they're off blood risk matters for all of germany's river hub. but clearly they've not been adequate latin vs and feel on the basis of these matters. there

are plenty of places where you can reasonably decide to put up new buildings. who are these maps don't include historical flow, doesn't help us on the water level recalls that are available. they fact just 50 or 60 years out of my food in that short time frame to reflect extreme, then it was always extra. emma agnes up to burn. these maps has since been updated and now include historical data too. but what role the climate change play in the i valley disaster was that the ultimate cause in pump there. i would argue that this is gale of the flood is not necessarily climate change related. it's gets a lot in terms of the frequency. well, if it's in other words, how often such events occur from blog, you could argue that changing weather conditions that mean the floods now occurring more frequently. and that's a consequence of climate changes. climate change increases the likelihood of such

events occurring more frequently as demonstrated by a recent study conducted with the participation of the german meteorological service. yet the question remains. why is why they're becoming more extreme? we meet spend prayer at the weather center of germany's main public broadcaster some 35 forecasts are produced for weather bulletins here every day of our music to occur as job includes analyzing maps and figures not only the t v weatherman has observed that a number of weather phenomena have become increasingly common from the focus until here as much of it does is if the noise here is at 50, not went on. oh, okay, a year. no, he got tells us about the standing ways phenomenon, high pressure and low pressure. france that don't actually move. it explains the devastating storms and the r valley does dawn via an pounds, but it's highly uncommon for high and low pressure. france to be stationary. but

it's become a feature of current weather patterns. and if it of us feed for dorms that move, distribute rain across a wide area, but if they don't move, the impact is concentrated in one place. so there's extremely heavy rainfall. conflict. if the high pressure front doesn't move than we have the high temperatures and drought, we saw in 2003 or 2018 implement. at the moment we're seeing more frequent standing waves and also small frequent stationary highs and love was to ease of use. so that's a hypothesis that's being investigated right now in law in scientific times, it's not straightforward. the natural world is always complex, though i am far according to political climate change, as exacerbating the frequency of standing waves of air meteorologist and storms. researcher mckerick once agrees where meeting him at his research institute from ah,

he said at the center dedicated to analyzing natural disasters, he and his team evaluate extreme weather events around the world. they were among the 1st to compile an overview of the scale of the i valley disaster and the damage it cost me here. cons shows us a map of the area based on satellite data and aerial images. he believes society needs to adjust to the prospect a frequent, extreme weather events. the hum in deutschland, i extreme weather events occur in germany every year or so. there are floods and hail storms, winter storms, and when we live with them and we have to live with them, isn't i'm it live. oh. and we have to be aware that they happen mind and know how

to respond this, but we tend to ignore it as is typical in our society and honest, we ignore things we don't like and under, but that can be highly distracted for. and then these disasters happened when unfair to services. ok. now it doesn't const anna's colleagues closely monitor the course and the consequences of these disasters. the aim is to figure out what we can learn from them. and in the meantime to remain vigilant. then with our fall in this, i can, as i understand via for this one, flanagan, ideally these are events that can and should teach us lessons for the future is justified when floods occur. it's a mistake to say, okay, there's been a flood, it won't happen again. that soon it's go, let's rebuild everything exactly the way it was here in. that's what's happening in the our valley. it was here but we know now that places that were flooded are highly vulnerable. c. as in as in a refusal flashing just as ultra vaguely. psychoanalysis the the all centerpiece in

this country. lion statistics don't tell us anything. then i guess another flood could happen next year or it could happen in 200 years. time was ongoing. but what we do know is that if such an extreme weather event happens, again, casino, then certain spotters, such as in short, on the our river will most certainly be flooded. again, sir, i do want to rent and then consider roughly at me heck, once, and his team have also analyzed the flash flooding and bounce back in 2016. at the time it was the most severe flooding seen in germany for decades. again, the cause was extremely heavy rainfall concentrated in one area. within 30 minutes, the village was torn apart. miraculously no one died that many were left homeless. it also resulted in an unusually vast volume of flotsam and other debris. this point, it's terrible. as if near from speechless because i've never seen anything like it

. the reconstruction work still isn't finished. and for locals, the emotional scars have yet to heal. may have hung harsh house steer the village through its darkest hour. the road to recovery has been strewn with obstacles and set back. hush has even encountered hostility. it's been a difficult few years. he's written a book about what happened and travels the country, giving talks on the environmental threads facing villages, like pounce back featuring images such as these is a good look is in so to the images as so affecting often by inevitably moved people

deeply image an ongoing ongoing or disability, you couldn't reach them the same way with words. recall you images are extremely powerful when unlocked. i soon got us all, we are still dealing with the consequences that the reconstruction walk is ongoing job 5 years later than that. we can't do everything at once and it'll take a few more years before we dance. it's all and see that it's a long term processed it a lot. we have to think in terms of decades in recognition, has come out a little. we have to think about how to contain flooding hot, how to treat the ground, what to do to protect the places at higher altitude, where there's heavy rainfall to hear my water sparkling stock from the villages mean square was completely rebuilt. the mayor wants to show us other reconstruction work such as the new reinforced walls along the village stream.

the reconstruction work has cost the village approximately 55000000 euros to date. outside the village, there are now massive debris traps along the narrow slope for a punk hash. this is the key element in the protection plan. the huge structure is designed to trap avalanches of debris pouring downstream. right all the thong, who's all fur fur off in the middle problem i'm reason to know about 50 meters upstream. there's another huge debris trap. so no covers. what we have to do was was, and it's a long term project to start is try to hold back the water at the source is where the heavy rainfall occurs. so it could be a retention reservoir of this week, which is problematic up there. and it will be better if the water could seep into

the ground like one song as well. to me, the best solution would be to stop farming practices and plant more trees and can to improve seepage potential. while, if i've a business, he goes smoothly, car buff on the land around pounds bar is extensively farmed field boundaries were removed. they could have helped contain watcher and there are fields and fields of corn. another detrimental factor because the crop try is out the soil as and for talk that are born come even thus, rsm is food of name, living area, soil can't absorb water and that results in localized flooding. i like to compare it to a baking cake, dove. imagine taking some flower and pouring milk on his brow. the flour is the dry ground with the milk for heavy rain. one watch you'll be laughed with is flour on the bottom and milk just floating on top. but once you start needing and the bottom,

in this case, the flower has been moistened with a little bit of the milk. you can add more milk and it'll soak in better sides. an aspect we'd like to investigate further at the university of tree are researchers are finding out how drought changes, soil and experimenters underway in the soil science department. the samples being salmon to see how well they absorb water. they're born hungry and from in a long shot they were long a type of butter. soil acts like a sponge and the landscape storing water over a long period of time. and then gradually releasing it to plant 3 to its surroundings, to lakes and rivers, extreme. and extreme weather brought about by climate change has consequences, long enough dry soil. colds absorb water at the same rate. instead, water just runs off. it was leading to flooding and bodies of water and also to soil erosion and wouldn't are parked in as it was on

the soil. scientists want to demonstrate how long it takes a drop of water to seep into various soil samples. first they add a drop of blue colored water to completely dry soil. it takes a while for the trap of blue water to be absorbed. the soil is so try, it's become impermeable. we've got 2 more samples. what have you found out so far? come out of the soil. samples are very different. the dryness definitely plays a big role. so once could soil containing home as this part, it takes days to moist in again a cross

check clearly shows that so all that isn't completely tried out can still soak up water. but if you're a student waltney sanders, lilian lawrence garcia, noise here, yon. when i was a student in the eighty's and ninety's, we didn't see this kind of dry soap soil. it was unimaginable in it, but that's what we're dealing with now. the environmental research centers drop monitor shows the soil effects of up to 1.8 meters has dried out massively on and the rain for we are experiencing in 2021 is just about managing to replenish the top. so the water supply, it needs to be done that the sobs oil is still parched by the trout of the last 3 year window. one is in one of the talking. i village and i are try subsoil and flooding. not as contradictory as it sounds, according to the experts. the drought 2018 resulted in reduced harvests and

millions of years worth of losses in germany's agricultural sector. rivers dried up, such as the tires of near fryeburg, which closed from the black forest industry struggled with a shortage of raw materials. and even gas was in short supply. the media was full of doomsday scenarios. yeah, man and of man as it goes on feel, in my opinion, it's a mistake to focus on all the doom and gloom. when the media goes on about the apocalypse and his crisis and that crisis, he agrees that we end up so overwhelmed that we lose all our courage and think there's no point trying to do anything about it. what, when, in fact there are so many groundbreaking projects is skipped all feel launched on predictive groundbreaking projects that proved were not parallel against extreme weather, such as the limbs back organic farm on the done us by color range. and highland fights founded by young people. but it relies on watcher and that's in short supply

up here. jeanine harbor works to ensure the soil as as permeable as possible, so long as it can still absorb watcher akin with and extreme rainfall fluctuations . hudson hudson campus, you know, that yawn all star auto plaza. in 2014, there was severe flooding hair in the region that caused millions worth of damage for the marshal back stream overflow. it was, could be the most of the areas around it. all agricultural feels that are compacted and where the water can't see pin easily, and the soil is holmes deficient. moving on, flooding sweeps away the entire top soil and entire villages are hit by mudslide alpha buffington. the young organic farmers are planning to revitalize their land using a special technique. first, they analyzed local rainfall patterns. up in the blue lines on the chart

show in which direction the rainfall is likely to flow. jeanine harbor and her colleague have drawn red lines where they plan to dig ditches that will help distribute the watcher across the farmland. this technique is called key line water management of as you can. but they're concerned about the amount of red in their chart, which indicates just how dry the region is. ah, they're keen to show us how effective their strategy is against why they're extremes. first, they used to how to take their ditches. before switching 10 excavator they want to test how the key line water system works. they take their trenches with a slight gradient 1.5 percent to prevent large volumes of water from flowing too

fast. i have some an experiment on average z and we're conducting an experiment to illustrate how the water that a mass is during heavy rainfall. aventis can be distributed over the area and conceit incident ditches laid according to the queue line system. if instead of flowing down the slope 19 and causing flooding in the valleys and calmed on the to zang funding for an interval called water from the top, a graphical depressions where a collects could be diverted to the mouth. so where the ground is dr. office google just doesn't do talking, spin owned jeanine harbor uses the water tank and a hose to stimulate heavy rainfall. come a mark. many flood obviously rain as moth localize. but the experiment shows that the ditch absorbs the artificial downpour as planned for the water,

then flows along the key line towards the elevation. mm it looks simple, but it's an intelligent way for farming to adjust to the challenges of climate change. that heavy rainfall and drought don't just adversely affect rural regions, but urban areas to villages, towns and cities also. nita just says weather experts fan trigger the problem is not really out dusk stuck on implants, if muscle to hide under his own globular. for ziegler problem, of course, is that cities and surrounding areas are very different because cities are built out at the clone. daddy show that heat waves in the likes of colona frankfort line, make them 9 degrees hotter than surrounding areas of cities such as color,

are also likely to see a significant increase in temperature. that's when this poses an additional problem . dam. it effectively makes the city a completely different climate zone that after. so we need to think about how we can make cities greener and less dry ela with more greenery, more water cooling by evaporation to curve extreme hate. these extreme hits of ugly to devin urban planners. and cas were, are already looking at ways the city can tackle climate change. one of their 1st projects is the redesign of the plaza site, the main station it's set to become much greener, which will not only make it more attractive, but also help protect the city from getting too hot in english didn't get this lands me for felix was eager to our cities are very built up, that the idea is that instead of being drained off to rivers by leading to flooding, water is retained in the city as a facet. that's what's called

a sponge city. that meant man, i had a family that lilian auto as a landscape architect and urban planner. his munich base team was awarded to re design contract. construction is about to begin down. mm hm. yeah. it's the target love to another them on. we're experiencing more very hot days on that, but also more heavy rainfall by lunch off. that's problematic enough in the countryside, raymond, but it's even more extreme in the cities on the face home. it can get unbearably hot in cities like causal were in the rhine, valley and tile. we have to call down our cities and at the same time, mitigate the heavy rain for which is becoming more frequency and retain the water in the cities up. some is on the flutter, so it so high trees, fountains and miss spray will help cool the plaza father walkways are permeable. water is a key design element. with nearest quick,

we need to use every project to boost water retention in cities for plans, for cooling purposes, explaining, we need to convert cities to what's called green and blue infrastructure to him cause we're adopting the sponge that he concept to meet the climate change challenges of the future to innovation is essential forest, her band had hamburger in the san vite, is also looking for creative ways of maximizing watch her retention. just like roy on auto and kassawa. his name is to capture, distribute, and use watcher as efficiently as possible. mm. that then tried to buy these and my number is that we cannot either from what you're crucial is that we make the call function of the forest or the focus of our efforts with user to boost water attention and increase its sponge function v cronin v can nod is

a shameful to on shy gun. ah, there are grounds for optimism. we just need to adapt to changing weather patterns . that's what pounds bought. mayor frank harsh tells people as he tours germany, raising awareness of flash blood was fever. this morning. we need action and improvement across the board don't joined us. he said, i do believe that can walk through but a lot needs to happen before people like yoga and, and mahi on bomb and are safe from the threat of flooding. and the villages of been top walk, pounced bah, and elsewhere. after a lot of hard work, the couple have almost finished rebuilding their home. yes. finally, we're making progress and we'll simply diamond the under floor heating has just been installed. mm hm. now the 1000000 dollar question, where will the couch go to?

not mine, are you asking me or my wife will leave that to them to figure out, ah, but the couple did agree on tiling the floor tiles are more water resistant. just in case. ah ah, be loud, be visible and help others with your story. every 3rd woman is a victim of gendered violence. they have experienced it 1st hand in demand that you look and act stock violence against women ah, in 30 minutes on d. w. ah,

awe every day for us and for our planet. global ideas is on its way to bring you more conservation. how do we make cities greener? how can we protect animals and their habitat? what to do with all our waste? we can make a difference by choosing reforestation over deforestation recycling over disposable smarten solutions, overseeing the set in our ways or is truly unique. and we know that, that uniqueness is what allows us to live and survive google ideas, the environmental series in global 3000 on d, w, and online ah

ah, this is d, w. use live from berlin, ukraine's president makes his 1st visit to the battle, the east. $100.00 days after russia invaded ukraine of a loaded, there's a lensky meets with troops and car keys defending the city. meanwhile, moscow's don't boss offensive is closing in on the key. see the city of pharaoh jeanette also coming up outrage, brazil. people take the streets to demand justice following the death of a black motorist.
