brim in b, like many other children, her age in spite of the challenges live has presented her. i mean a, i'm or the niger and children with need see if her species for quality learning. because the future of a whole generation and that of a country east, a stake you're up to date here on d. w up next is doc film with a look at extreme climate events that are going on with interest, the global economy, our portfolio d w business beyond. here's a closer look at the project. our mission. to analyze the fight for market

dominance. get a step ahead. with the w business beyond the memories are still vivid. on may 29th, 2016 disaster struck the village of pounds by and southwestern 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 actually, because i couldn't figure out what it was exactly. then i realize how to show the whole house. we're shaking, feel, talking policy past mary hung cash film, the catastrophe unfolding in front of him. i 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 say pounds bottle. hi, financial killed. i was in shock. i couldn't even begin to process what i was saying . missed i'm old. although no lives were lost. the flood left the village, devastated visit voice horrible. i'm speechless of people will be both. never seen anything like it. a few years later, germany suffered the effect 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 dried up. a disaster for the local environment and its inhabitants yacht in last year. there was no rainfall here in the region for more than 70 day hine. and then in summer 2021. the i 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, 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 didn't happen 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 yoga bowman's home was among the many destroyed. he and his wife, marianna, will never forget that day, a traumatic experience. that's 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 role of elisa disco murphy up or if we just got everything finished in here marked with 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 low to that. make her wanted. i love that. and that was it wasn't to be after hours of torrential rain fall over the local forest hills. the village was hit by a deluge. m a quick trip alone doesn't come. i can't get the images 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 rain and the motor often burst their banks, but villages that are nowhere near major rivers shouldn't be at risk of flooding. locals simply weren't prepared the bomb and still haven't gotten over the experience. bush answered them 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 from africa. was in was guns for the water was up to

here. years was ago. so anti yard was under water. here oliver was watched on winter book is situated in a valley in the hunts like mountains. the village is nestled in the stone by forest, the source of the watcher that caused such damage. forested 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,

invent up or can 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. with the up, you can see it's bone dry. what has child to become a long term problem? while she shifted donkey hutton, he and eric yawn m let's 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. 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 overall weather, but it goes to show how severe the lack of rainfall has been in the last 3 years. gosh, last defeated to in, in it's in ye island in ellipse and that i are ninety's von as holland that explains, there needs to be 2 months, a steady rainfall 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 yeah, the aim is to ensure it seeps into the ground across the forest instead of flowing into the valley and causing to watch away stair to post their bank live. oh yeah hm

. yours there, feed a better all he am the one vote back loy for de la. there are lots of streams here in the soon vas idol, the elbow and the grief and bark. 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, the equity, it was pretty frightening in its own boat. one dug positive as far was 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 reroute heavy rainfalls to points in the forest where cans he been to the ground. yet i shall damage dust, be these up, flush bits, and question can what that does is avert excessive runaway and allow groundwater to replenish lungs. i'm on the water is distributed slowly and steadily across the

forest floor. i where 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 lean from florida to fulfill it than had found better planning 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 coast the extreme, whether congress it brings together weather and climate researchers as well as environmental activists. the event aims 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 meteorologist span priyanka,

but also politicians and the likes of mo jeep la chief, one of germany's leading climate researchers the 2021 congress was overshadowed by the events in the i 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. this 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 tub. these are the gifts in the expos attending the event. first, drought and flooding will become increasingly common of the enzyme that even these

a talking files would be whether it's vitals master annoyance. 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 so there's always been the occasional dry year, but the 3 in a row is conspicuous. vilegas well done. and on the other hand, just geek, we can expect to see increasingly frequent storms and heavy rainfall. i'm very slow moving storms and flash flooding. in general, the weather is becoming more extreme, but that's the bottom line. i wish to help. while we were at the congress, we heard about an ambitious research project looking at extreme weather in the sway 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 way be an abs are germany's main storm hotspot and storms are a key aspect of extreme weather. professor americans is a meteorologist with no loss. he had trauma was, or we're going to blow up a balloon. so we'll be ready if his dorm starts to breathe in for a moment. we've already set up the probes. so now we're going to load the balloons in the car, 6 or 7 of them, 6, 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 with me before they head into the storm. me here, 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 unless she wasn't like he saw dr. the he convection and shows a powerful lift off. when the rain forms it falls more or less vertical to the points where the op wind is basically it suppresses the op winds. so, and that means that the standard lifetime of a single cell is on average 30 minutes to an hour because 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 hail storms are forming inside the cloud. mckerick once can follow the action in real time. signal we've got a signal. are we going to you 3 balloons, because the rain got worse and we hope they'll take off yet. i've got a signal. if we go one lot on stop with 3rd of lea faster and the probes are inside the clouds taking the pulse of the

storm as it were yesterday. uh, what are your thoughts argument? i thought i, fortunately, we're not in the middle of the storms out there of 5 centimeter hailstones coming down from the middle. a met give our cars are good bashing on the top of it from here me here constant. his 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 cast. we're 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 thought to form alcohol over. if there was a power can't, because all the sockets were under water lorne on. it was like being on a house boat. her as well then the miles for. so what exactly happened as i'm but

as of now of but spark of over the well, this here is an old stream tunnel and there was so much pressure from underneath that he got pushed up with a self supporting structure. and when it got pushed up, it one stone breaks off and the structure collapses. briscoe, a film shot on his mobile phone shows the thing called that resulted right in front of his house. i 1st got mccoy's. i've worked with a hole in the garden, got bigger than a solid wood garden bench, got pulled into the current god, turned in circles water and was washed away by them. that was the point when i said to my husband, doth roger okay? have him is now i'm frightened. one for the right. the sharks flew alice in them loafers one. it all disappeared into the hole of the shrill of arnold. therefore the chairs are terra cotta. ornaments, surf it all got washed away. what happened here was nothing in comparison to the

disaster in the our valley actually rambled. there was some damage. it's bad, it's a problem, but at least no one was hurt. from glueck connie minch trying to call the our valley floods. in july 2021 claimed 133 lives was 700 people left injured and 42000. others also affected. they were among the worst floods in 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 companies 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 up with geographers traumas hug and camp and theresa idle in the village of my shot and the i 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 our river got swept away. experts rely on them to analyze and predict flood events. give us a stand, the highest warden. what else the a presidio highest warden has a little from his hair, bush pianists 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. obviously on a smaller scale because at that point and the valley was less built up top. that us tired on myself. nice little in about farm here in my shows, the storms swept away a number of houses and destroyed the local train line complete with most bridges. theresa title and thomas logan can from the university has been, are using a few other 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 aside shows just how far the washer road tomas southern camp has been researching the history of plants in the our valley. for many years. this time the watcher here with 10 meters higher than its normal level. the script

a horse. ok is equal carbon. the lesson taken from the fis are falling in deutschland or, and they're off blood risk matters for all of germany's river. but clearly they've not been adequate latin vs and feel on the basis of these matters. there are plenty of places where you could reasonably decide put up new buildings who are these maps don't include historical flow, doesn't help us on the water level record and that are available, laid back just 50 or 60 years automotive fulton, that's too short a time frame. to reflect extreme then isn't was ice, exclaimed agnes, up to bill. please maps has since been updated and now include historical data to but what role did climate change play in the i valley disaster was that the ultimate cause in the pump there, i would argue that this is gale of blood is not necessarily climate change related . it's good and i do it in terms of the frequency or if it's in other words,

how often such events occur from vog, you could argue that changing weather conditions, but mean the floods are 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 recent study conducted with the participation of the german meteorological service. yet the question remains, why is whether 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 include that 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 central here of us must evident. yeah. this is if the noise here is at 50, not went on. oh, okay. are, you know, here 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 was seed 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 more 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'm far according to pick

a climate change as exacerbating the frequency of standing waves of air meteorologist and storms. researcher mckerick once agrees with where meeting him at his research institute, rob, 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 compel an overview of the scale of the i valley disaster and the damage had cost me hire. cons shows us a map of the area based on satellite data and aerial images. he believes society needs to adjust to the prospect are frequent, extreme weather events. the hum in deutschland, i, extreme weather events occur in germany every year or so. there are floods,

hail storms, winter storms, and vin, go live with them and we have to live with them. isn't on the live. oh, and we have to be aware that they happen and know how to respond mostly, but we tend to ignore it, as is typical in our society. once we ignore things we don't like and under, but that can be highly destructive for and then these disasters happened when done through other services or you know, it doesn't cost and his colleagues closely monitor the course. the consequences of these disasters. the aim is to figure out what we can learn from them, and in the meantime, to remain vigilant. let me verify in this icon as i was there via for the token flanagan. ideally, these are events that canon should teach us lessons for the future is justified when floods occur. it's a mistake to say ok, there's been a flood. it won't happen again that soon. so let's rebuild everything exactly the

way it was here in. that's what's happening in the, our valleys. but we know now that places that were flooded are highly vulnerable seal. yes. in the scenario, roughly don't flashing just as helpful versus like ordinance in the the or sensor piece in this cons i in statistics, don't tell us anything. then i guess another flood could happen next year, or it could happen in 200 years time i saw sank on it. but what we do know is that if such an extreme weather event happens, again, casino, then certain spots as such as in short on the our river will most certainly be flooded again, sorry, you want to run than cancer it over fluid. oh michelle quince and his team have also analyzed the flash flooding and pound spot in 2016. at the time it was the most severe flooding scene 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 quote, it's terrible. as if you're from speechless movies, i said, i've never seen anything like it. the reconstruction work still isn't finished. and for locals, the emotional scars have yet to heal mayor hung harsh house, still the village through its darkest hour. the road to recovery has been strewn with obstacles and set back. hash 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. light pounce back, featuring images such as these

is a good look resume. so to the images are so affecting often, but they inevitably moved people deeply. image and i go, i know i thought, isabel, you couldn't reach them the same way with words. makalya images are extremely powerful. when in march i was on the cortisol, we are still dealing with the consequences that the reconstruction work is ongoing job 5 years later, we can't do everything at once and it'll take a few more years before we dang system when it's a long term processed, it will not, we have to think in terms of decades in his record, mr. has come out a little, we have to think about how to contain flooding, heart, how to treat the ground, what to do to protect the places at higher altitude where there's heavy rainfall to

her. more water star claims block from the village is main 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 hunk harsh. 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 over a foot off in the middle, oman, recent, you know, it's about 50 meters upstream. there's another huge debris trapped or 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 to improve seepage potential wider. if i've a bristle physicals movie, car buff on the land around pounds bar as 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 tries out the soil as and so talk that a born come even does less on this. would als name this week, are it soil can't absorb water and that results in localized flooding. i like to

compare it to a baking cake, does this one imagine taking some flower and pouring milk on his brow. the flour is the dry ground with the milk, the heavy rain, as it won't you will be laughed with. is flower 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 milk. you can add more milk and it'll soak in better sides and aspect. we'd like to investigate further at the university of tree are researchers are finding out how drought changes, soil. an experiment is underway in the soil science department with samples being salmon to see how well they absorb water. they're born again from in a long shot. they were like a type of fossil 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. i am an 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 would mouth parked in as it was on the soil. scientists want to demonstrate how long it takes a drop of water to seep into various toil 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. got 2 more samples. what have you found now so far? come out of the soil. samples are very different. the dryness definitely plays

a big role. so once good soil containing homeless, this part, it takes dave 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 at the dental waltney country, will you noisy gothic noisy ion? 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, but that's what we're dealing with now. the environmental research and just 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 with the water supply, it needs to be done that the sobs oil is still parched by the trout of the last 3

years. i got one 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 data 2018 resulted in reduced harvests and millions of years worth of losses in germany's agricultural sector. rivers dried up, such as the highest. i'm 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. yes ma'am. and of mine, has it gotten feel, in my opinion, it's a mistake to focus on all the doom and gloom. when the media goes on about the apocalypse in this crisis and that crisis season, 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 project is skipped zoar feel launched on

project groundbreaking projects that proof we're not powerless against extreme weather such as the live spec, organic farm on the done us back color range and highland fights founded by young people. but it relies on water and that's in short supply appear. janine harbor works to ensure the soil as as permeable as possible, so long as it can still absorb watcher a can withstand extreme rainfall, fluctuations photographer and gap. assume that a given all stock a hole in 2014 the, with severe flooding hair in the region that caused millions worth of damage by the marshal back stream overflow. it was could be, does it, most of the areas around it all agricultural fields that are compacted and where the water can't see pin easily. and the soil is homeless 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 line 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. you said this technique is called key line water management of as you know up kind of good, but they're concerned about the amount of red in their chart which indicates just how try 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 among of him and explain meant 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 it she is laid according to the killer line system. next. instead of flowing down the slope guaranteed and causing flooding in the valleys and calmed 100 zang funding fun and to book our water from the top, a graphical depressions were collects, could be diverted to the mound. massage where the ground is. dr. office. google just doesn't do talking, samsung jeanine harbor uses the water tank and a hose to stimulate heavy rainfall. come

a mock many flood, obviously rain as moth localized. but the experiment shows that the ditch absorbs the artificial down, were as planned for the water, then close along the key line towards the elevation. ah, it looks simple, but it's an intelligent way for farming to adjust to the challenges of climate change. but heavy rainfall and drought don't just adversely affect rural regions, but urban areas to villages, towns and cities also. nita just says why they're experts fan priyanka. the problem is not to really out just stuck on implants. if my c 4 tried and his own globally to for ziegler problem of course is that cities and surrounding areas

are very different because cities of bell taft at the clone, audi show that heat waves in the likes of colona frankfort line, make them 9 degrees hotter. than surrounding areas of cities such as cows, were also likely to see a significant increase in temperature too. and this poses an additional problem. damn, it effectively makes the city a completely different climate zones. so we need to think about how we can make cities greener and less dry, iowa with more greenery, more water cooling by evaporation. to curb extreme heat does extreme hits of, of, to david. urban planners and cast war are already looking at ways the city can tackle climate change. one of their 1st projects is the redesign of the plaza side, 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 give this

lands me for field facility. our cities are very built up. but the idea is that instead of being drained off to rivers by leading to flooding, water is retained in the city is a flat line. that's what's called a sponge city. that's, that's mine. i understand that lillian otto as the landscape architect and urban planner, his munich base team was awarded to re design contract. construction is about to begin. gabriella mia? it's the targa lofton, as i am aware, experiencing more very hot days or less, but also more heavy rainfall by lunch off. that's problematic enough in the countryside layman, but it's even more extreme in the cities on the face. hm. it can get unbearably hot in cities like causal. we're in the ryan valley and towel. we have to cool down our cities and at the same time, mitigate the heavy rain for which is becoming more frequent and retain the water in the cities. up to me is on the flutter, so it's so high trees, fountains,

and miss spray will help cool the plaza father walkways are permeable. water is a key design element that listen to this plague. we need to use every project to boost water retention in cities. but for plans, for cooling purposes, explaining, we need to convert cities to what's called green and blue infrastructure to him. cause who is adopting the sponge that he concept to meet the climate change challenges of the future. to innovation is essential. forrester ban had hon. back in the store invite is also looking for creative ways of maximizing watch or retention. just like ploy on auto and kassawa. his name is to capture, distribute, and use watcher as efficiently as possible. mm. that then tried to buy visa.

my number is that we cannot either from what is crucial, is that we make the call function of the forest or the focus of our efforts with user to boost water retention and increase that sponge function v cronin v can now does a shameful tian shy gun ah, there are grounds for optimism. we just need to adapt to changing weather patterns . that's what pounds bought. mayor frank hash tells people as he tours germany, raising awareness of flash blood. ah, was viva voce, malcolm, and we need action and improvement across the board. don't joined us, he said i do believe that can work but a lot needs to happen before people like yard and and marianna bowman are safe from the threat of flooding in the villages of intellect, pounds, 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 dive in. the under floor heating has just been installed. mm hm. now the $1000000.00 question. where will the couch go to? not mine. are you asking me or my wife will leave that to them to figure out. mm. but the couple did agree on tiling the floor tiles are more water resistant. just in case ah, welcome to the city of the future. flow instead of a permanent traffic jammed. would instead of concrete, the mobility instead of the air pollution?

new concept for the megacity tomorrow made in germany. in 30 minutes on dw, entered the conflicts own, confronting the powerful 18 months after the violence on capitol hill. it's clear the u. s. democracy was in greater danger than previous we believe. my guess is weak from thomas david from writer and columnist for the atlantic magazine. he says the stakes were, i'm still are frightening way home, conflicts own in 90 minutes on d. w. o. in a man with the memories of a woman, ali from syria is born in a female body,
