4:31 am
in decades. dot into rain has triggered serial floods and my flight calling mazda of the rivers to break the bank. thousands of people who have been forced to evacuate from the homes following the was floods in the country's history. major roads and red 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 risk, but also disaster prone of the homes swelled up by rivers crossings crushed by walter civilian carpenter, benedicts patel. snick doesn't know when or how he will ever work again. after
4:32 am
flash floods hit 2 thirds of his country. it is in this way, the well done. little saw what i saw. 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, but the way it is, i mean, we spent 30 years of our lives in building this in 2 hours. it was all gone by which it stays on, dirt, debris, and sludge coat. the comforts of tone of turn and i could, will, she can benedict's 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 mode by
4:33 am
the bucket load fall soldiers, big homes, and we took the rubble, but it's, it's horrifying how powerful nature can be and we're happy we can do all gc. that's all that matters. and all we can do the force of nature is on to display here. not far from the flood zone, front lines, the force of civilians, so darcy is on show to on are away in valencia. the red cross has been inundated with donations, working, loves, and cleaning laws. 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, burying food, both with walters toes and other essentials. almost. everybody's got somebody
4:34 am
affected either in friends or family, so yeah, we're a small country. so the evidence that 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 could not 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 defenses like this one and we'd be on a it was construct to to after a deluge in 2010 and helped keep catastrophe out of the neighborhood. this time runs pretty much. bonaventure is confident to more infrastructure will be put in
4:35 am
place. the disaster has focused minds, but he says some communities may have to relocate from the riskiest regions for good. this is front of the really difficult component. moving for weight. it's under estimated solve much thinking that induce the people which have to move away thoughts they 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 you'd 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. but it will take on, on, on, on, on the day that i have currently not months to rebuild. but the years to rebuild benedict says he can't. and they are to think about the future. one where floods
4:36 am
may become more frequent. now we'll manage somehow for no, he'll keep on cleaning up, seeking some hope among the mountains of mount in spring. but the appraisals have been so high, but even spaniards are struggling to cool. however, the situation could also be done and do something, add one pages, span names to honda solar energy and in order to facilitate this photo of life plans have already been installed in the most solid regions of the country. right on the doorsteps of the plant is angus, et cetera, 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
4:37 am
on says a tube that she lives in one of spain's funniest regents with his wife and horses. but he is concerned because that same sun has attracted industry to time, are not a huge solar park has recently been built. next is the state or sink if we want to keep the motor, let's do that. but the city of the country said that so that i know they are building the solar rate is around us. big industrialism 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 that has to be a nicest place for people to spend the day. but i'll pull that by saturday. but if people don't want to come,
4:38 am
we'll have to give up on our project. but the problem was that the projectile the for others, the solar cells represent economic growth. after tourism collapse during the cover 10 demik, mayor jose diaz is happy for every sent invested. i'll be able to talk in thinking some of his own info and by to many of lost their jobs and these hard time these are but uh you can go to port out and they call it all what i like now to these building projects. some of been able to get back into the job market as you've done on the off site. now all of gross 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. scenario one while i'm looking at other,
4:39 am
nothing grows here. what else was to wrestle, you particles. so we're trying to get at least something out loud, and it's like a low, medium looking forward, 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 because their and their little, what the government but some people's expense. look at my supplements, may i ask or next door that's going to send them with the yes or something, something exactly. so you spell that last blog does have it on his car, back on these huge solar fields are built here with all their environmental and social impact on apples. it will mainly provide economic growth and jobs elsewhere . and it's not here. you have on this time, that's not fair and so hold on. yeah, no pain is being colonized and exploring. the study told us there are other ways, like 50 kilometers away, and most of the village has built a photo, vall tech plant, the top, they're small theater to produce their own electricity. the mayor francisco garcia
4:40 am
proudly explains the creation of an energy community backed by an e u regional development fund. totally luca and stuff like that. it's healthy, not bargaining. everything we produce here. it stays in the communities in the, in the uh, we don't want to sell our energy to the big company as soon as the 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 plant currently powers $21.00. households with businesses and restaurants expected to come on board. but luis polonius. spain is focusing too much on large scale projects. the state is given solar cell companies, free rain, instead of ensuring that they build under elect industrial sites. it's about any spell out of $10000.00 the same capacity can be achieved without
4:41 am
destroying the environment. but there's no planted, but if you've got the solar arrays where trees one stood horse lover and showed a tear of it still cannot understand it. nobody said a kid by the side of why they can't destroy the environment and the name of environmental protection made. it makes no sense. no, i, i like you know, you know that i mean i, phones, you and i are on the ramp and growth of the solar fields defeats its purpose. he hopes that future projects will be more environmentally friendly, such as a nearby i mostly done so that green electricity is really green. since 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 afford the most basic necessities guy sing.
4:42 am
watson is a millionaire, and is willing to wall entirely pay more taxes to a bills and need. however, accomplishing this is not as easy as it may seem. 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 a precinct to talk after a brief career as a corporate consultants in london, a new york city, you know, experiments which growing organic vegetables on his parents. farm see, watson went back to the land when he realized that the money can't buy happiness. now he's earning more as any effort drunk of. with over a 100 employees river for gun x is one of the united kingdom's biggest organic
4:43 am
farms. over the past few years, he signed 100 percent ownership over to his workers. that's a relatively low price. now he only stays on the road of mentor and that's probably going to waste one, did use the business to shake the wells and i wanted to shape the world. and then way in that was more like the world. 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 richie soon. i a is a rights is the taxes and multi millionaires were raised by only one percent. it
4:44 am
would lead to an annually increased revenue equivalent to about $60000000000.00 euros 1000000. as your k invited to join us in quoting for a federal tax system on the 19th to pay. i'm strange that 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 will 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 in this farm. guys thing watson sees
4:45 am
conclusions like this is absolute rubbish. they may, i mean, peyton leave that just isn't quite true. i mean, just look at what time the 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 proceeds fruits and vegetables donations regularly from watson's farm. it's distributed to 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 on his partner mos. she lost her job after undergoing an
4:46 am
operation. then she had trouble of feeding her 4 children. before they discovered the food bank, they often ate only once a day. it's not just me, i have friends with children, all in 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 where i feel this month. i feel good because of the house to us getting more food. but that have to any way and it hurts, you know, it's like it's probably to want to have a lot that are the dignity you just feel like the great indignity. and so now he's scraped spine hopes, nobody notices. maybe things will start looking up. he tells us,
4:47 am
but people like guy sing, watson, we're better informed. don't talk much hope, the will, any time soon. the government continues to insist that everything is coming up roses. in the 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 peoples investment and so on 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 always 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 if i'm doubting the 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
4:48 am
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 daughters and 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 t reality. do they all you and you do that section by pond to delay? probably a pretty to any point. then here. then with the, with the, the called us could you kindly get up here. you're not allowed to sit here. thank you for today. i take it out to the municipal public order officers asked exhausted guest not to sit on the steps they didn't. the thank you. sorry so
4:49 am
generally tourist. take it in stride, but sometimes on hot days they get annoyed. i want to talk to these got them. i didn't really, they're not to be god, but tourist 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 venetian and part of a network of activists. and he takes a stop in front of a special display. it counts the number of hotel beds in venice quite so it's nearly 50000 in the same number of people still living in the old city. for now, 1 may see that a home were demanding and limits under a number of tourist beds. sometimes the limit has to be appropriate relative to the number of bits for local. so that'd be time. you guys open a see get the get. the fitness has always been a popular tourist destination and venetians were okay with that. as long as the
4:50 am
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 yeah, the nations are struggling to maintain their community insured way of life. like 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 ins, 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
4:51 am
about another project the most him, what i don't handle from that to that we're considering having a reserve of 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 and fade the few remaining quieter neighborhoods, telling you that they are my. now we're living in a reservation to some of the cities getting even fuller and think that these measures aren't helping regular tourism. and that is the 1st and foremost we need to cut down and hotel. that's the policy like because it's one of them back to the public order officers. the tour seemed to be happy to comply with requests to
4:52 am
clear off tasks and stands. 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 sitting, it's possible version down. so either smoking shimano has fine, you know, this unique done phone protocol younger for you rubles around breaking boundaries quite literally sweeping across the dance floor with speed and style. this dance is anything but tru tv. it's cold. so i clicked on one partner on one on wheels like long timing, structure, easy, smooth fishing on a simple 2nd request for the best. this is why i love side glue
4:53 am
dance unites people that there's no longer a barrier between the person who's in a wheelchair and the person who is then i give so good that for a few moments. cyclic dance allows me to forget my disability. because sits here a little bit on a belgium. the east is printing her students for a special performance, very carefully crafted the choreography and perfecting the pace of the class. thoughts for these dancers, the class is about to much more than learning moves. well, there's the music to friendship and exchange. i come down so without my partner and she come dance without me. sick, the new one. 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 in her wanda,
4:54 am
she contractures polio and was left unable to walk. then war broke out and descended into genocide. many or for family members died east survived, thanks to a narrow escape. when her children's hospital was evacuated by belgium peacekeepers . the owners id, 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, escaped english, 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 stuff that said that that was completely lost when i 1st arrived in belgium . i didn't even know how to say hello nancy. not one single word, a friend who. oh yeah. well, campbell,
4:55 am
though 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 writing for the performance. it's an age of a local charity and isa is 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 that either. nobody the you these folks by taking center stage to help
