the not crush can the local carpenter benedict's patrol. nick is trying to save what's left of his family homes. them they don't know that i'm with. i'm always there right now. we're living the day today. we don't know what's going to happen and i don't, i don't there think about the future a man and somehow he takes us insight. his tools are ruined and he doesn't know how or when he'll work again. so they all say, all of us set up the set up on the walk, there came all the way up to here. it was all over the mountain. now we have the help of the firefighters. they're really doing an amazing job for them, but they are not the only ones upstairs. the clean up continues. neighbors drain mode from each other's homes with soldiers drafted in to be fought

for relief efforts near the soonest. hold off, we are happy, we can help people and do you t. that's all that matters. and or we can do such a task ahead is massive because bridges have collapsed and roads has been damaged including fresh walter and leading efficiency the leading all of this down. it's really and that's why the small country has called on other nations for help germany ascending prefabricated bridges fronts has offered machinery and croatia is sending trucks. the president tells us that's only slain. i am happy that we are part of european union and you'd opinion and there are a lot of funds, slovenia cannot get it. you know, what we do. we do not have enough money to repair all the damage. we are aware of that fact we do have courageous people hardworking people,

and we hope i'm sorry that i repeat. i know that all the damages could not be and will not be paid. but civilians are stubborn and nation, you know, and, and, and, and we are used to start from scratch 0. we have the sun shining overtures and the locals don't fear more flash floods for no thought. so sorties are still keeping watch because up in the hills, the risk of land flights remains. sure while ago i spoke with the w as rosie bitch out who filed that report. she gave me this update from the floods. uh well the clean up is well under way volunteers are working, wrote the quote, but the situation a many times is really still pretty dire. as you can see behind me here we're just seeing piles of modern are real impacts on people's lives on their belongings. now many of these times are still really caught off, for example, that tell you that you saw in that report. the only way we could get there to fill

in that was with a military escort arrived, some pretty precarious roads on which we saw on the side collapse bridges, diamond power lines. and that's why helicopters are still having to bring in supplies. so people really still looking for help trying to make this work. and we've been told that tens of thousands of people are still without access to fresh running walters. it's still a really dire situation here, but certainly lots of efforts underway to try and clean this up so people can start at least thinking about how to rebuild their lives after all this disruption we heard in your report, how different european countries are promising. quite a bit of page to support. so being in his clean up efforts, what is the european union promising rosie was the video is a small country around 2000000 people in the population and things certainly sides quite clearly, as we heard from the president that they need help. they activated the european union's emergency response mechanism,

and they called for assistance. no countries hopping coughing up really as ask for emergency a team. so people to come and help with these relief efforts is also asked for helicopters for excavation equipment for machinery. and we're expecting european commission president phoned to lied to your institute media today. he's like me to make more 9 sense of that kind of bi lateral health course. they just by the european union. i think so the needs will also be looking to hear some and i to as of funding support, we're expecting of underlined to address this will be in parliament as well as to visit some of those hardest hit regions and speak to the people that are most effective and of course for them any support any further support in europe, you need to cut off or will that simply come to come fast enough? just briefly, rosie, what is it that slovenia needs most right now? well terry, i want to say there's no shortage of goodwill or offers of help. we've seen people coming from across this country from regions that are not as badly hit to try and

line up to volunteer with their space with both as a fresh bolts are we? so 1 may are telling us almost moved to tears that nobody asked for money. there were no questions off. people were ready to help. but of course old, that goodwill creates a problem. there is no, even the infrastructure really to match all these offers, of volunteering with the needs that, that there actually are. so we noticed lavinia is looking for more trained people on the ground. that's what they've asked the european union for. and of course, there will be questions about the longer term reconstruction because of the impact on jobs with factories destroyed. that is something which has not yet been c and something people are certainly that i've spoken to. very concerned about it. they say they're just living day to day at the moment. rosy, thank you very much for now. the w, as rosie bird showed their extreme weather is causing havoc across europe at the moment, as we've just heard, slovenia has been severely affected by intense flooding. as habits neighbors, croatia, and austria,
