have or to speak to the sales may dyke to protect to home. now is it, this is because, but it was really depressing. a bunch of you 1st there was the danger of flood waters from behind. now because of the ground water, we also have a threat from the other side. you think it can't be real? what's going on on it? you just tried to use humor to deal with it and we went to watch out. so cold outside the house, lodge, palms of work and constantly day and night. germany has mobilized volunteers from civil protection services, but it's a race against the clock. and the water displays we are protecting the village with our pumping capacities. we have 2 high capacity pumping modules here. um, each of this pumps can pump 5000 liters per minute. and retry to bring the water away from the houses so that the small channel which is now a big lake,

re notarize more so that um the village and um the people in the house is not get too much flooding. the whole village is involved. neighbors are sharing palms, but there is a common fee or if the dyke are on $2.00 and breaks, most of the houses will be flooded. of the millions of sand bags have been distributed in the flathead areas to protect settlements and ducks. help is even coming from france. french civil security workers traveled 1200 kilometers from the south of paris to control the situation. it's part of the use corporation system for disaster response to and is relying on the team of experts doing everything they can to save it. but it's heavily dependent on the weather forecast to which is finally predicting a couple of dried days after weeks of rain. and dw, as usual, they have

a travel to the town of celia and lower sacks me and told me more about the situation there. we had no rain and the situation is still tends here. low effects on the, on the bangs of the river, ella, which is normally a medium sized tree and we have to say, but has built delta as of kilometers. now it is, has become a large river we can say, and it has flowed its trees, as you can see right behind me are as well the fields, villages, farms, and more. so this is a very severe situation for the people living here. as water levels remain very high, but the good news is that they are not rising anymore and that there are some cold, a dry days predicted, which is a relief for the people which are suffering for almost 2 weeks now from these flooding. and we have to say that even if the rain will end to now,

the situation is not going to end so soon because the multiple needs more than a week to go away. exports say. meantime, 4 days after a major at lake rocked, japan. authorities are in a race against time to locate survivors. among the $222.00 people believed still to be missing. the death toll has no risen to at least 94 pounds. western coastline was worst effected by the $7.00 magnitude event, which flattened entire neighborhoods and damaged infrastructure. a large area of land was flooded by the student army triggered by the earthquake. and the government has earmarked around $30000000.00 euros forces aid to support community is effected the view correspond to james tater gave us this update on the situation in y juma. one of the worst effected areas as well where i'm currently standing is outside what used to be would seem is morning market. this used to be

a really key parts of the city already, boston costs of the city in almost every direction. i can see now that is complete devastation. the reason why the devastation was sorry about it. this particular location is totally off the crate. struck here, there was a fire that ripped through much of the buildings and the, the around me. the reason i'm wearing a hard time is because the weather was, so today's been pretty bad, very strong winds and strong rain as well. and because this, i want to lose stay bree on the buildings. a lot of it has been folding off and blowing into the road in which he moved. there's so many homes that have been destroyed, people are feeling very bored at the moment. i'm not really sure what the future holds in comparison to a point of comparison, which might be a good use for once. a drill on. here's the off of the 2011 of quake in which tens of thousands of people died in japan. some people were relocated to government pre provided facilities, but then ended up being in those houses for many years. um it wallets homes were

rebuilt for them, but those in the temporary homes, one of necessary, the best quality. if you look at the level of destruction hit, well the death sold hasn't been as high as quick in 2011. you can imagine that it's going to be months if know years before this city, which email returns to any semblance of normality or a german cabinet administer had a scare when protesting farmers prevented him diss and barking, a fairy economy minister robert how back was returning from the vacation on north sea island police had to use pepper spray to disperse. the angry nighttime crowd. farmers had been up in arms over government plans to withdraw. a tax breaks for the agricultural sector. back later reached the mainland safety. asked d. w as chief political correspondent, nina has. if there was more at play than just to farmers agitated about a specific policy. there is sarah and of it is not looking good and that's what it

says. what these pictures say, mr. how that can self reacted on friday morning said that he was very concerned about how to teach at the mood is but coming across the country. and he added that he's above all worried for all those who are elected officials all over the country, like mez, for example, of small towns who face similar abuse or regression on a daily basis. and who don't like him, have police protection. he does. of course, he does have that because he's a cabinet minister, an interesting lee that was assessment that was had by many, many people on friday, also a high ranking politicians also from the opposition. conservative party who all have reacted in big numbers to those pictures from the series that they see that organized has some hassling, like that has nothing to do with legitimate protests. they say the red lines of trust in situations like that. and that they feel that the mood is a tipping point here in germany. that fact face political disclose and the search for compromise something that germany is so well known for around the world and is

proud of is that risk. and that's of cool something that we've seen in other countries too. there are also groups who benefit from driving society farther apart . and that is also something that appears to be happening here. the farm is union has distance dims themselves from those protests. they say they have nothing to do is sides, but there are obviously groups who benefit from pictures like this. mm hm. okay. and i want to drill down a little bit more into the mood overall in the country. um, i'm gonna 1st look at the numbers and you're going to stay with me because it comes as german opinion. polls indicate that support for transfer all off shelton. his government are, in fact, at a record low, less than 20 percent of participants in the survey by public broadcasters. say that they are pleased with the government's performance, with the vast majority saying that they are not satisfied. 83 percent of people say that they are concerned about the current situation in germany, only 13 percent feel optimistic. so nina,

it seems pretty clear that germans are not happy. can the government survive this as well? this government has another year and a half to go until demons goes, is a polls again regularly. that is the rest of the time. and of course, they are dealing with lots of challenges. germany is going through a very difficult period as a country. so any government, so you have to always say that would be having a tough time at the moment that having to save money because a quote has told them they have to, that's never popular was a public economic model that this country has benefit from so long as being challenged, there are multiple international crises that directly affect them. the like rest is lower and ukraine also the situation in the middle east that's also driving a big risk to have it in society as the climate crisis. populism on the rise, etc. but yes, there are also who made problems. they are a 3 way coalition with very strong individual policies with very different priorities at times. then not very good at communicating the measures they taking

jointly the ongoing and public. also not something that's very popular with voters that having to withdrawal measures of to long months of public debate, of times people are frustrated, they come plan properly. but it does say that they will stick together until demons go to the polls again. next year, the ftp, the smallest policy had a vote and the small majority said that they want to stay in the call list, and that was always sort of a big question mark. and to be honest, it's a that was for us elections at the moment. all of these 3 parties know that they would lose the diabetes. nina has a chief clinical correspondence. thank you. for anything, temperatures and gale force winds have swept across northern europe, finland and sweden have suffered widespread power outages, with snowfall, trapping motorists on highways for hours. one bus you don't want to be on
