are nowhere is the crypto currency fountains more highly than here. but for many, the frenzy ends in really we were promised high speed rail, but so far there is no sign of the coin in latin. america starts august 18th on dw, the hello, and welcome to focus on your but it's wonderful to have you with that. but rather in europe is becoming increasingly extreme. this summer will be with most heat waves, droughts on forest fires, and some reasons why others and build heavy rains and floods. the bulk of the country of sonya is dropping with the consequences of the worst not to the disaster in decades. dot into the dream has triggered serial floods about slight causing

multiple rivers to break the bank. thousands of people who have been forced to evacuate from their homes following the worst floods in the country's history. major roads and very lines have been forced to close on several villages have been completely cut off from the rest of the world. the slow waiting prime minister has stated that 2 tubs of the country is effected by flash floods, and to prevent such devices in the future. more damage would it be needed like the one in louisiana benedict adults. nick resides in the beautiful healy reason with this picture desk, but also disaster prone. holmes swelled up by rivers crossings crushed by walter civilian carpenter benedict's patrol. snick doesn't know when or how he will ever work again. after flash floods hits 2 thirds of his country, but it's in this with for the thought on. so the water broke down the story

rose and floated the entire workshop. all of my carpentry machinery was inside that i'm all of it's destroyed now. so by the way it is, i mean, we spent 30 years of our lives and building this site in 2 hours. it was all gone. stays on dirt, debris and sludge coat. the comforts of tone of turn and i could, will, she can benedict, takes us inside his family home. there's no running water, no power. the floating motor came all the way up to here. it was everywhere. now we have the firefighters. they're doing a really amazing job. others are also pitching in neighbors drain mold by the bucket. load falls, soldiers, big homes, out of the rubble. but it's,

it's horrifying how powerful nature can be and we're happy we can do all to see. that's all that matters. and all we can do the force of nature is on full display here. not far from the flood zone, front lines, the force of civilian. so darcy is on the show to an arrow way in valencia. the red cross has been inundated with donations, working loves, and cleaning logs. we managed to go quite a lot of them as well for the tools. we got a lot of uh, rooms and shovels, even though they are bought out at the stores, people, they're all from all over sylvania to drop them off here and keep coming. delivering food, both with walters toes and other essentials. almost. everybody's got somebody affected either in friends or family, so yeah, we're

a small country. so the evidence helps, and i think we're going to get through this further sites in louisiana. hydraulic engineers are thinking about the bigger picture, their models accurately predicted where flooding would occur. but not the intensity . no climate change is shifting expectations. we cannot go have a thinking, it will not happen again, it will happen again again from one from a ballistic point of view. and we have to be ready for it. that means building more slots. defense is like this one and we've, leona, it was construct to, to, after a deluge in 2010 and helped keep catastrophe out of the neighborhood. this time runs pretty much bond, which is confident to more infrastructure will be put in place. the disaster has focused minds, but he says some communities may have to relocate from the riskiest regions for

good. this is one of the really difficult components moving for weight. it's under estimated solve, much faint can that induce to the people which have to move away. thoughts they will have to move away by can choose now, residents are still really so the news president has come to offer them messages of supports for the civilian government is now doing everything it can with the help of nato and jude opinion. i can assure you that no one is going to be left behind. no one is going to stay without a place to live in sleep, ready to take on on, on, on, on the day that i have currently not months to rebuild. but the years to rebuild benedict says he come to me, they are to think affect the future. one where floods may become more frequent.

the flow will manage somehow for know, he'll keep on cleaning up, seeking some hope among the mountains of mount in spring, but then prices have been so high, but even spaniards are struggling to cool. however, the situation could also be thrown into something, add one pages, span names to honda solar energy and in order to facilitate this photo, what type plans have already being installed in the most sunlight? regions of the country. right on the doorsteps of the plant is angus federal, which will not only find the situation irritating, but is also concerned about potential changes to the landscape of and the lucio in southern spain. that's a conflict that many people in this part of the country having to face on says a tooth that she lives in one of spain,

sunniest regents with his wife and horses. but he is concerned because that same son has attracted industry to type or not a huge solar park has recently been built next to his the state park think for monday or tuesday, more or less grew up at the city to the country side of that. so that i know they are building the solar rate is around as big industrial as on site right next to warehouse and kind of syndicate them and more are planned. spain wants to produce green energy from its abundant sunshine. that's good for the climate, but threatens and his plans. he wants to started writing therapy center here in 15 to get out of a need. it has to be a nice place for people to spend the day, but i'll pull it by saturday. but if people don't want to come, we'll have to give up on our project for that or no problem. i figured i'd have to push it to the 4

others. the solar cells represent economic growth. after tourism collapse during the covered pen, demik, mayor jose diaz is happy for every sent invested. i'll be able to talk and think it's on its own so and by to many of lost their jobs and these hard time, these are but uh you can go to port out of the we call it all what i like now to these building projects. some of the been able to get back to the job market is going to offer. now all of groves are being clear cut to make way for solar plants . some farmers have seized the opportunity to lease or sell their land to the energy companies. nikolai of done has signed over some of his land because water is increasingly scarce and expensive. irrigation no longer pays off. cinoya's one wild with another. nothing grows here. what was your s l o u for kids? so we're trying to get at least something out loud and it's like

a roman. i'm looking for it more than $200.00 spanish citizens. initiatives are sounding the alarm and fighting the solar fields, the lease below neo and others fear that spain will become europe's power supplier and at the end because they're, they're little what the government, but some at the people's expense look at. but supplements, may i ask who i'm next door that's going to send them with the yes or something. something else? yeah. can you please tell us blog does have it on his collect on these huge solar fields are built here with all their environmental and social impact, but when i approve, it will mainly provide economic growth and jobs elsewhere. and it's not here. yeah, you have them this time, that's not fair. and so hold on. yeah, no, the spain has been colonized and explored the study. told us there are other ways, like 50 kilometers away, and most of the village has built a photo voltaic plants, top they're small theater to produce their own electricity. the mayor francisco garcia proudly explains the creation of an energy community backed by an

e u regional development. fund luca and stuff like god's help you not budget, that's everything we produce here, stays in the communities in the, in the uh, we don't want to sell our energy to the big company, a single sort of a see nothing on official. i want affordable climate friendly electricity for all our citizen us. for my guess. yeah. so give that all sorts of what to get no sale. you'll get the plan currently powers $21.00. households with businesses and restaurants. expect it to come on board the the but luis polonius. so spain is focusing too much on large scale projects. the state is given solar, so companies free rain instead of ensuring that they build on derelict industrial sites to vote any spelled out of $10000.00 met all the same capacity can be achieved without destroying the environment. but there's no planted. but if you've

got the solar arrays where trees one stood horse lever and show a tear of it still cannot understand it. no, boy, you said a kid by the side. why didn't not destroy the environment in the name of environmental protection, but it makes no sense. no, i, i like, you know, you know, that, i mean that if, once you're not for and the ramping growth of the solar fields defeats its purpose, he hopes that future projects will be more environmentally friendly, such as a nearby i most it so that green electricity is really green fence the cost of living prices on inflation have hit great britain. the gap between the rich and the poor has become even more pronounced by the accident. upper class enjoy their lives. millions can hardly are for the most basic necessities guy sing. watson is a millionaire,

and is willing to wall entirely pay more taxes to a. those are need. however, accomplishing this is not as easy as it may seem, is nowhere else in western europe? does the inequality between rich and per cape as widely as it does in the united kingdom? as may be seen, even an idyllic devon, on the border to cornwall? dicing watson numbers among the upper 10000. a fact, it is not to proceed to talk. after a brief career as a corporate consultants in london and new york city, you know, experiments with growing organic vegetables on his parents farm, sing, watson went back to the land when he realized that money can't buy happiness. now he's earning more as any effort trunk of with over a 100 employees river foot and gun x is one of the united kingdom's biggest organic farms. over the past few years, he's signed 100 percent ownership over to his workers. that's

a relatively low price. now he only stays on the road a mentor, and that's probably the waste one did use the business to shake the wells and i wanted to shake the world and then way in that was more like well, but i want it to live in, which is one that's not dominated by inequality and greed to growing poverty. all around under the current government is doing nothing to help. as ever more people are overtaken by inflation and raising interest rates. he himself will be happy to pay for more in taxes to change that in his office, he shows as an open letter. he's written in collaboration with 40 order millionaires to purchase prime minister risky sooner like a is a rights is the taxes on multi millionaires were raised by only one percent. it would lead to an annually increased revenue equivalent to about 60000000 euros

house a 1000000 as u. k. invited to join us in quoting for a federal tax system on the 19th to pay him strangely. he did find in fact the prime minister and his party are staunchly opposed to more taxes in general and especially any kind of wealth tax. this was soon extends back when he was finance minister. thank you mister speaker. mississippi could no, i don't believe now is the time whether be the time for a wealth tax now is the time to recognize the challenge we face. the disposition does not mean that the tories are only a party of the wealthy. as one of their lawmakers explains what money is mobile today? so if we send the wrong signals, then money will slip down to this country. when actually we want to the money to be slipping into this country, investing in the real economy, not just into property, but into businesses to create jobs. back on this farm guy saying what's in this, these conclusions are, this is absolute rubbish. they may that, i mean tighten lee,

that just isn't quite true. i mean, just look at what times over the last 10 years. how can people keep saying that the poor are getting for the rich are getting richer? that is no trickle down. there's a trickle out, you know, actually all sorts of things. i just kind of believe that we hear the argument, you know, again and again, what does this just actually lead? no factual basis to guarantee well over 2000000 persons depends on food banks to survive. this bank receives fruits and vegetables donations regularly from watkins farm. it's distributed over a 1000000 meals in the past 18 months and more more. it's ordinary families who need help to be able to feed the children. the packages are distributed to people, the city has identified as a need such as leo and his partner mos. she lost her job after undergoing an operation. then she had trouble of feeding her 4 children. before to

discover the food bank, they often ate only once today. it's not just me, i'll have friends with children holding the same position. my brother's in the same position, he lost his job and he had a mortgage as well. and you know, now he has to sell his house, he's losing tens of thousands. so he's gonna end up in a lot of debt. and it's still hard. you know, it's still hard because we still get the food. so there is not moment, but i feel this month. i feel good because of the health to us getting more food. but that have to any way. and it hurts, you know, if i provide or what have a lot that are good dignity. you just feel like the great indignity and so now he's scrape spine hopes, nobody notices. maybe things will start looking up. he tells us, but people like guy sing, watson, we're better informed. don't talk much hope that the will any time soon. and the

government continues to insist that everything is coming up roses in a long term, the very foundations of british democracy may be endangered. they all can seriously wrong to the extent that i really worry about the, the breaking of the social contract, then the, and the loss of people's investment. and so someone to, you know, which in the end results in violence and revolution, you know, which is really not something the other thing anyone wants to see. but i, i feel like coming closer he sees no shortage of ideas for how to tackle these problems. but what good are they, is the political will just isn't there been, is undoubtedly stands out as the most free load italian city. along to this. however, the area has become so crowded that people often have to squeeze through the narrow streets, undeniably making life challenging for the local population. in fact,

the old city center has very few residents left, and those who still lived there on please to see the cities john being diminished. giovanni leoni wants fewer to us in a city, and is actively advocating for it. but it is proving to be a very difficult task when the got to load up. okay, let's split up this way today for you do the model even if you do, you do the geo do net tv audio live and you do that section by phone to day? probably. yeah, it may pretty do any point then. yeah. then what day would be the called us? could you kindly get up? yeah, you're not allowed to sit here. thank you for today and you go to the municipal public order officers asked exhausted guest not to sit on the steps they didn't the thank you. sorry. so generally tourist take it in stride, but sometimes on hot days they get annoyed almost. it seems like these got them. i

didn't really, they're not to be god but tour sitting around are the least of innocence, problems. over 7000000 visitors squeeze their way through the 500 hector old town every year. and that's too many. so giovanni la own a has a plan to save the special charm of venice. he's a native phoenician and part of a network of activists. and he takes a stop in front of a special display accounts for the number of hotel beds in venice. so it's nearly 50000 the same number of people still living in the old city. for now, 1 may see that a home were demanding and limits on the number of tourist beds. if you need to get some back limits has to be appropriate relative to the number of bits for local. so that'd be fine. we'll see that the ac get the get the venice has always been a popular tourist destination and venetians were okay with that. as long as the assess theory or districts were alive and the economy diverse but things

changed a few years back. nowadays apartments are intended almost exclusively for tourist, as a woman living across the street chimes and that she's the last venetian in our building . her neighbors moved to the mainland long ago where the price per square meters just half as much. the features are pretty then it's and the nations are struggling to maintain their community and shared way of life. and that can with that being said, what can be done? the city plans introduced admission fees to keep visitors down, but the project was stopped. instead, they've intensified video surveillance so that the public order officers can redirect in crowds of tourists. finally, to keep people from moving away, the city is aiding local families with their rent. the tourism officer also told us about another project. the most him what i don't on the floor, not to that,

we're considering having a reserve at the city the shouldn't be to that cheap, altruistic services would have to be reserved in advance. and what's happening are, we're in the process of building the necessary digital infrastructure commodity comple yakking for us to to dollars. will venice end up a huge open air museum requiring an admission ticket? giovanni believes taurus will keep pouring in, even if individual squares have to be reserved in the future. and instead of swarming st. mark's square though unpaid, the few remaining quieter neighborhoods, telling me that they are my and now we're living in a reservation system. although the city is getting even fuller and think that these measures aren't helping regular tourism, and that is the 1st and foremost we need to put down and hotel bits the policy like because it's long island back to the public order officers. the tour seemed to be happy to comply with requests to clear off tax and standards. they seem to understand the problem. venice is just too beautiful for its own good.

a. dancing is a beautiful thing to do. you can dance to expose happiness. i love. you can dance fall so slow, you can dance alone or with friends. but can you down slide is fitting its possible version down. so i, this smoking, shimano has fine, you know, this unique done phone protocol, younger fee rubles around breaking boundaries. quite literally, the sweeping posted on the floor, which speed and style distance is anything but true. it's cold. so i clicked on one partner on one on wheels like long timing structure, easy, smooth fishing on a simple 2nd book. what i think the best. this is why i love psych lu dance unites people that there's no longer a barrier between the person who's in

a wheelchair and the person who is in i can so good for a few moments. cyclic dance allows me to forget my disability because it says here, a move on a belgium. the ease is printing her students for a special performance, very carefully crafted the choreography and perfect the pace of the class. thoughts for these dancers, the class is about to much more than learning moves. well, there's the music, the friendship, and the exchange. i come down so without my partner and she confidence without me. so they told me it's like i'm a bird flying to the assess the chair makes me fly to was these days ease, ease of busy working mother about as a child and rolanda, she contractures polio and was left unable to walk. then war broke coach and

descended into genocide. many of her family members died east survived, thanks to a narrow escape when her children's hospital was evacuated by belgium peacekeepers . as long as i d, the, the hospital staff told us to hide under the covers and not move on. so they, they, they called us to. it was just that we were so scared. one of his, the homes that we heard people saying they were escaping their escape. being this f english as they were planning to come and tell us, he says this cause this cause that is any new to it. she then grew up with a belgian host family stiffened to this, i was completely lost when i 1st arrived in belgium. i didn't even know how to say hello, nancy. not one single word of french who. oh yeah. well come on. the east won't forget the dark chapters of her past. she's determined to keep moving

forward. that's why she funded her own done school 12 years ago here in belgium to bring change in other people's lives. and she says, because the show must go on at the local community center, audience members are riding for the performance. it's an age of a local charity. and each has partner is helping organizers set up. not for the 1st time. he's feeling private diabetes. so those are both hits within her, there's something about it to that brings people towards here that brings people to get from the back stage. performers are gearing up in the green room and do you, this is putting the finishing touches on her cost you. but her mission here is only just beginning 0 destiny, but i want to break barriers and show that whether or not you have a disability. you can flourish and enjoy that love at ease. oh no. the nice folks by taking center stage to help
