and the recovery effort for these communities going on for weeks and months on end . so relentless for those still cleaning up from the last one. the new south wales premier has said there is no doubt these events are becoming more common to what extent is the government connecting this disaster to climate change? we certainly are seeing the connections happen and it's important to remember that we've just come out of a really wet summer. so we've had a linear weather system hanging over a trailer, which means that we've had above average range for quite some which is being with a driving factor that a lot of the events we've seen quite recently. and now we're coming into the cool months here in australia, which means that we do have our taper, colo storm season. but what we've also got behind a lot of climate drive is, which is sort of exacerbating the problem here. sorry, we can stay without any argument. the climate change was we are going to see these types become more intense and more and with weld,

whether becoming more frequent and intense, as you say, how well prepared is australia for future natural disasters like this. it's a great question and then a lot of research going into this, i think sort of the main problem and challenge for us in the future. looking at interest structure and how we communicate with these types of communities in the flood zone. been in bush 5 areas, but it is a massive work in progress and it's not just a question that is trailer is roughly one, but certainly a question that authorities around the world and looking at laura chung from the sydney morning herald. thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us on deed of the union with the family. and just before we go it, let's get a quick look at our top story at this hour. at least 6 people have been shot dead at a 4th of july parade on the outskirts of the city of chicago. local authorities say they have identified a young gunman who remains at large chains update at
