be able to return, but well, she's in poland. rising was as close the river to best its banks, flooding streets and houses and the historic town as to why the power supply and communications have also been cut off in some areas. full cost is they the heavy rains boats on by storm. boris could persist through monday, which unless bruce penya is in prague and earlier he told me more about the situation across the czech republic. it's been getting worse as the day goes on. i've been watching the news just in the morning. it looked like it was under control but, but by the time the sun started going down, they showed various areas of the country that were under water. you know, at least a half a meter of, of water up against houses and people walking in the streets with big weight loads

. and so it has deteriorated quite a bit and they're expecting that is probably going to get a little worse. the northeastern part of the country seems to be the one that's going to get the hardest right now. your, your previous reporter mention, google losey. it's an all and apparently the danverse of the stream from them and it's flooded to google loudly. but there's places not very far away in the czech republic, one place called jessica this and another one called your center. and there they are also the most recent photo showed that there, inundated with water at the moment. in fact we, there was even photo of the military having to come in and rest of you one of the residents. so you sent it. got the leap uh, by helicopter. because apparently the whole town has now cut off because of flooding. just a incredibly deteriorating situation. as you say, bruce, tell us how our check authority is responding to all these to you know, give them a lot of credit. they took all the measures they could uh, before this. i mean,

everyone's been warned since the middle of the last week that this was coming up. they cleared away debris from under bridges from canals they uh, fortified the banks of rivers. they had been doing pre emptive evacuations of people for the last more than 24 hours. now it was 10500 people evacuated. but i can see from the news that i didn't want 200 more here. 33 there. so it's a, it's probably gone up quite a bit. so, you know, i do credit to check authorities with doing what they could mobilize in a 100000 byron and volunteer firemen at a time to the reality of the storm has been overwhelming. i think for everyone in the country and certainly for the authorities, they knew it was a once in a century storm, but um, you can prepare for everything that you're going to get until you see the reality. what happens that was to unless bruce penny and pride for us many thanks, bruce, appreciate it. thank you, jerry and dw is julia solve daily. have this off died on the storm and sliding from

the south in german city of paso as well. this is equation here. is not as dramatic as we've seen in the kind of neighboring countries to the east, like the tech republic. uh there was a break in the where rain up in the past 2 days. it was raining a lot. there was a break yesterday evening and this morning it started reading again and rang throughout the afternoon. but the city is ready in case more water where the car in the next few days and i can show you how they've been preparing. for example here. this road which runs alongside the danube river has been closed. people can't drive their cars here. and as we see the streets here in behind, this area that has been blocked off is filled with water and is not really high. but the water had been coming from the down you from the river right there, but also from the drains. and the city is also started preparing by putting up sand bags at the ground floors of buildings and also putting up barriers in front of

doors on the ground floor so that water might be able to stay out. so the city is waiting and preparing. but in the meantime, the really dramatic situation is right across the border in austria, which is very close to paso. now they're, we've seen that especially in the area of lower aust through which surrounds the capital vienna. the situation is dramatic, and a fire man has died well trying to uh, work in a home that had been flooded. and even in the city of the, of yena where the vin river runs through the river is not completely overflowing, but it is very high. and in some parts of the city, some foot and bite bike paths along the river has been overflowed. so there is quite a state of alerts also in neighboring neighboring auster right now. and we've just been looking at some, some pictures of that julia. what can we expect in the coming dies? so we've heard from major ologist that the rain is expected to move to the west. so coming from the eastern countries compared to germany from poland

for the tech republic, into germany. and experts expect that a possibly the highest level of the rivers here might only be reach tomorrow on monday or even on tuesday morning. so the situation is currently one of wait and see there is an additional worry brought in by the experts. they say that the level of, of snowfall is going to go up. that means that there's going to be possibly more rain coming down instead of snow that will also contributes to rivers rising. and we're going to see that probably in bavaria, but also further north and the eastern state of saxony, where the elk river comes in from the czech republic and the high is expected very possibly tomorrow or on tuesday. the situation of white and c, julia salt delhi and passel for us. thanks julia to you cry now with businesses are experiencing severe life. a shortage is because of an exodus of work is due to roches invasion. on top of about

a 1000000 man ended up on the was front lines. all of this has made it very difficult to keep basic services running or to produce and maintain weapons that ukraine desperately needs. so one way works is i could things by bringing in older workers and toys with disabilities, definitely use any kind of late reports now. yeah. so then i can just dive in my legs, don't get in the way likely, which for other people that i can just get in where i need to go and do my things was to this is victor. victor didn't lose his legs to rush and mine, lost his legs to illness of to retiring on an army pension with vitamin pollutants troops and makes crime in 2014. victor asked if he was needed back then. the answer was no. the battle changed. the february of 2022, with rushes full scale invasion. they need them back, but not in uniform fighting pacifically and contract it to keep ukraine soviet era

on the vehicles on the move. so it's interesting. i woke up at 4 am on february 24th to make myself a cup of tea. i went outside because i didn't want to wake my wife. and so the sky lights up, all of a sudden, because of the russian missiles that the, what i felt the shockwave waiting for me, i called my friend in the military and asked, is this if you think hasn't started yet? you said yes, a couple of days later i called again, but the and also you need me. they did another big. there's not the only one ukraine's job market desperately needs back and our maintenance estimate nearly $2000000.00 ukrainians disabilities are currently out to the labor market. second minutes, many of those people would return to work. they could find a job that meets the needs alex on the hood during his study, ukraine's demography for decades. doubtless, he says, is blake doesn't have to move if stuff the things were bad enough before. but the war has excessive bates of a lot of problems. you can all future working age population in our children,

costco, they've just up and left. what was this about a 3rd about refugees abroad or under the age of 18. meanwhile, a pension is allowed to stay behind the over $65.00 made up almost a quarter of ukraine's population before the war, but only 6 percent of those that have gone abroad. boy is a foss realizing the times and they could pick and choose between recent graduates is over the course of employers used to think that they could get 25 year olds with bags of experience that so therefore the government has identified the program. so it looks on the do was still hasn't done much to address it a little and we already have a government demographic action plan. and this is sort of a little part of that involves getting older people or sober and those with disabilities you back into jobs, especially people who but it still needs a lot of work. fluid blows need to be adjusted,

and businesses still need convincing criminal workers and business on either canada showed on the way things stand. there's little support for employers to hire more diverse teams and he finds they don't meet hiring quotas for stuff with disabilities. fines to many businesses still prefer to pay rather than shake up the hiring practices despite the extreme labor shortage. i didn't when i get it only took a few days being back in the job i was i feel like i never left. it was like, i never retired in the name the so listening to victor, concerned like he doesn't feel like we're tiring a 2nd time around. he's adamant to learn to stick around as long as his country needs him and his knowledge with so many young ukrainians abroad are fighting at the front lines. thoughts seem getting out of you anytime soon. well, she's already in the icon and you've probably seen are all life and your social
