7:03 pm
need to be taken down or not. with the a few positive check here has been sped. hundreds of thousands of homes have been left without power. evacuation orders have been extended to major cities as defensive, dykes, fail, and rivers break their banks. many reservoirs have reached their capacity. this dam in austria is approaching its limits, and the disaster is far from over with more rain on the way sand bags. and now the only hope for many on swollen rivers like the danube. major cities like budapest could be next to face the floods. let's try to do all straightened out. why corresponds into this out debbie is in low all strict, close to become valley, which is one of the countries todd is to get regions. welcome julia. one of the seen that today of the yeah today has been has seen incessant
7:04 pm
rain all across this part of austria. really without any break. this is the, the 1st moment really where we've seen an end to the rain and where i'm standing is on the board on the edge of the daniel river. it is very high. as you see, these are some protective barriers that have been put up to prevent the water from overflowing. but the situation here is quite calling right now, but we've heard that and we've seen that in the cam valley, which is further upstream from here, there has been quite a lot of flooding. there is a reservoir there that goes into the camp river and it was a risk of overflowing. so over the last couple of days also, or do you have let gradually water come out of the reservoir not to create a big wave, a big overflow, but that meant that down stream there was more water than usual coming down. so a lot of the towns in that area have seen a flooding on how people coping well,
7:05 pm
people knew that a lot of rain was on its way and i'll forward, you seemed to have a warrant, especially local authority. seemed to have warrant people that the situation could get bad. there were a sandbags prepared, but that didn't really prevent water from creating damage. we were in a town earlier about uh, 30 kilometers from where we are now. and we found people cleaning up the sellers of their buildings because in the early hours of sunday, the water just came flowing through the streets of the town. went into a lot of the sellers where pretty much everything was damaged. so they were so cleaning out a rubbish and they were so cleaning out mud and water from there. so people are tired, but they're still ongoing with the cleaning up measures and they hope it won't get worse now. right, so some bags and a reservoir overflows what, what else was happening in the way of preparations?
7:06 pm
well, we've seen a lot of, uh, deployed uh, firefighters working in the area. especially now to prevent anything worse from happening because there is concern that with a lot of rain that fails throughout the day today, the rivers can now become even more full that the, that the landscape which is already full of all the water that is falling in the last few days could no not be able to absorb, but the rain that fell really heavily throughout the day. and there is fear that overnight and into tomorrow. more rivers might be overflowing. so we've seen all sorties preparing for that's putting up more sand bags. and in some cases, also evacuating some towns. there is a town down river from where i'm standing about also 30 kilometers away where all 200 and added inhabitants are being evacuated this evening. because there is fear that the water in the town might overflow and cause some severe flooding there. okay, thanks about julia, julia, south deleon, crowds in austria, that's the united states. what else?
7:07 pm
ours is of charge demand. suspected of trying to assassinate donald trump with federal gun crimes. prosecute to say additional and most serious charges could follow your patent assassination attempt to place of a former us president golf club in florida. secret service agents bought it a rifle in the bushes, an opened fire gun and fled shortly after my 58 year old man from hawaii was taken into custody authority surrounded this vehicle after it was reported leasing. fling donald trump's florida golf course, detaining a suspect in what the f. b, i is called an appearance assassination. attempt of the attempt seemingly foiled after secret service agents spotted a rifle sticking through a fence, a few 100 meters from where trump was playing the secret service agent. that was all the course did a fantastic job. what they do is they have an agent that jumps one hole ahead of
7:08 pm
time to order to present was that he was able to spot this right with their own sticking out of the fence and immediately engaged that individual. at which time the, the individual took all authority, say, an a. k 47 start a rifle. with a scope to backpacks and a gopro camera had been recovered from the golf course perimeter. a witness report, at least, spotted the suspect fleeing the scene. took photos of the car and its license plate that information letter authorities to stop the car driven by the suspect. u. s. media reports have identified the man in custody as ryan are a pro ukraine activist. police were spotted searching his former home in north carolina where he resided most of his life before moving to hawaii. neighbor and how i said he was shocked to hear the news. every interaction we had with them was
7:09 pm
very, very welcoming and kind. but if, if he did have anything to do with it, it's very, very shocking to us. donald trump's convoy was seen leaving the area and he was quick to announce that he was okay. in a post on truth, social trump think the secret service and others for keeping him safe. this appears to be the 2nd attempt on trumps life. in as many months. speaking to reporters after the latest incident, the secret service warned the threat level was high. we have increase the, the amount of assets that we've supported. so we are, we live in danger times his presidential rival campbell harris said in a statement that she was deeply disturbed by the possible assassination attempt. she said condemn,
7:10 pm
political violence. politicians across the spectrum have expressed relief that the countries potential next president wasn't harmed. let's get more from the reflection washington stephens, even so welcome, stephan, local media that in the us of named discuss the suspect. just privacy laws means that we cannot. what more can you tell us about the charges he's facing around the would be assessing and suspect tier of made his 1st initial appearance in federal courts today and was presented with 2 charges of you just said in the piece one is the um eh, possession of a fly um while be convicted as a fellow and so the man has a record from 2002 this felony, charge us then from there and was convicted as a felon, for a procession of a weapon of mass destruction. and that means he owned a or had a machine gun and this is not allowed in the united states. the 2nd is possession
7:11 pm
of a fi um with a obliterated serial number. meaning that the prosecutor here, he said he did something to the serial number, which is on every gun. and this is also legal. you're not allowed to do this. this is a legal and this is the charge. now those charges are holding charges, meaning there will be a detention hearing coming next monday and until then there are more charge as expected. well, the include an s as a nation attempt or a terrorism charge for that matter, that is completely unclear and that's about to be c one. so what more can you tell us about this? ryan? all as well as everybody says, you have ties to ukraine and i think what everybody means by this is because it's all over his social media is that he was in ukraine 2022. he expressed his staunch support for the ukraine for fighting for ukraine. against russia's invasions invaders, he said them in many posts that he's trying to and has
7:12 pm
a apparently communicated this also to ukraine authorities who are saying now that they had nothing officially to do with him. that he tried to recruit, ask and fight as fighters from a scan, it's time to for then fight in ukraine. one way or another feel this is, is seeking for a motive and for affiliation as soon as we in the press and experts and of course police f b, i find the affiliation there is, may be a possible motive for what is suspected. so it's a nation attempt and so is this, the 2nd appearance, assassination attempt is likely to have any effect on a competing for the upcoming us elections, or indeed on the election itself. it's possible. uh, but too early to tell, i can tell you though, that donald trump already is fundraising upon this, and he is actually blaming couple of harris and joe biden for this 2nd s as
7:13 pm
a nation attempt, because he's blaming their rhetoric as being responsible, calling them the enemy, from within the maybe some viewers think that's where it's coming from him, but this is what he does and again, fundraising. will this have an impact on the campaign on the harris campaign? i don't think so in terms of will. she mentioned it. will this be a topic like the 1st assassination of the time from just about 67 weeks ago and butler, pennsylvania? no, it will. not. because again, this was a suspect, the assassination attempt. harris as well as by many, many, many of the public politicians from across the aisle across the board have expressed their dismay that this has happened and their happiness about that he is not being hurt. i don't think this has any more repercussion on the harris or harris campaigns. donald trump will definitely use it in his campaign. okay,
7:14 pm
