janelle de milan has more on what the us administration is said about travis king's release. well, we know that this release happened overnight. we've been told that travis king is in good health and in good spirits. and early are national security advisor jake sullivan, released the statement of thinking of the swedish and chinese governments for their role in helping to secure at travis king's release. now we don't know who did what exactly, but we know that sweden would have played a major role because traditionally, the swedish embassy in pyongyang has negotiated on behalf of the us, because the us and north korea don't have diplomatic relations. there is no u. s embassy and healing yet. and china, of course, for its parts. shares a land border and close ties with north korea. that is weird, travis king was released and where us officials were waiting for him. he is reportedly now going to be taken to

a medical facility in fort sam houston in texas. we also heard earlier from his mother who said, whose fact the army for their hard work and getting travis came back and asked about the family's privacy to be respected at this time and that she's not going to be giving any interviews for the 1st of all future, so adults are expected its, except the medical treatment that he will get bolts expected to happen to tribes king. next of the well, that part gerhard really is unclear. now if you remember a little bit about his story, we know that he was serving with his unit and south korea. then he spent 2 months in detention on assault charges. he was released on july 10. a week later he was supposed to go back to the us to face disciplinary proceedings, but he managed to evade his guards, and instead of forwarding the plane to the u. s. he went on a tour to do militarized, soon between north and south korea, the gmc,

as you call it, and the, and, and then he crossed into north korea. now he has been since declared absent without leave from the us military. and that means that he could face a further punishment. he could face this honorable discharge. he could face the forfeiture of his pay. he could face even more millage military jail time in the us . and whether he's going to be punished separately for that action for having crossed into north real well, that remains unclear as well. any indication by his release happens now of the, you know, that was somewhat surprising. there was a lot of speculation that he would be held a lot longer, that he would be used as a bargaining chip as relations between washington and killing young deteriorate over in north korea's accelerating nuclear program over the us, his joint exercises with south korea. but so joint military exercises with south

korea, that is. but there's also this reading that because travis king, wasn't until a high value intelligence asset that the north koreans probably decided that he wasn't worth the expense. and the trouble of keeping he needed food. accommodation guards and translators, but of course, there has also been some speculation that perhaps there were concessions made on the part of the u. s. in order to secure travers king's release. but this is something that us officials have denied strongly. they have said 0 concessions were made in order to get job is came back to the 1st one that a janelle milan, they're reporting from washington. thank there's now also, but john says it has the rest of the form of lead out and the going to come back region as he was trying to enter a medium rubin. i've done. yeah. and is a billionaire who made most of his fortune in russia, is the time comes as almost a quarter of nicole on a chromebook ethnic, a medium population. please. the region authorities say some 47000 people have no

significant because of the shift size of the wisdom k problems, as well as the amount of rain that has actually forwarded. they usually quite a significant amount of rainfall in the winter months in the waste in cape. but over this 2 to 3 day period, the amount of rain, the fall, was actually moving. what is pulling over the whole 2 months that we've seen of rain full at the extent of the damage is that we've seen a number of homes wrong washed away. we've seen a number of roads also washed away, making it difficult for sorry to use to actually reach some of the smaller towns in the province. while cape town is dimitra pole in that, in that area, they are a number of smaller coastal towns which have tours destinations as well as farming areas that way they should be cut off and now authorities are trying to reach people in those areas. now there are reports that people were actually killed by

electrocution with by the areas not still flooded. how dangerous is the situation right now, which i think in some areas, it is quite still quite dangerous because the electricity has used to be reconnected. there was a briefing earlier today with they mentioned that in kind of detail, which is one of the tape tongues largest of townships, old, formal settlements. and that the large part of that area we electricity was knocked out in the storm and that it still needs to be reconnected, another town called canada and also doesn't have electricity. these of course of danger, the one that once that's really tricity returns that they could still be cables which are in water or illegal connections which may not have been spotted which could cause electrocution. and of course, they are still issues with a pedals of water. they that are still standing. in some areas we've seen footage of water standing as much as knee high or even higher. and that could also pose

a danger with people not realizing what might be under that. now how bad is the damage for the local farm? is that as well? the damage and the farm lands appears to be quite significant. and we were told that today that these are only about 20 percent of the region. know that the region that has actually been surveyed, so they still confirming the extent of the damage. but so far they've seen that a lot of stuff has been washed away. and farm lands have been flooded and windings to cape winds, which is quite a big area, has also been quite significantly started in some of those areas that we're preparing to harvest. and if they are completely waterlogged harvesting will become, do possible still to areas where they can get to some of the farm workers. because the roads have been completely washed away and they are trying to get assistance from the south africa. national defense force to bring in helicopters or to help them with mobile breaches to be able to reach some of those outlined areas in terms

of a monetary cost is quite significant. so far, the estimating, the damage in the, in the farm areas is about $1400000000.00 rad. that comes to about $69000000.00 euros. but that number is likely to go up, considering that they've only read. and so they have a short small portion of that series, last area to the splines then, whole canary 40 from johannesburg. 6 young people from portugal bond taking all the countries of the european union and several others to quote the activists aged from $11.00 to $20.00 fold of fall the case with you will be in the course of human rights. they accuse the countries of inaction on global warming and thus violating some of the fundamental rights activists and their supporters aren't strossberg with a hearing open today. 6 young people and the lawyers against 32 countries, they say simply on doing enough to stop global warming. these activists have come
