from the historic floods associated with him in the it's on the top is not since he, most of my parents told me about assuming that you've been eating is 1957 of on. but the amount of rain was less, spect then and the water level hard for me to lower and higher. i mean, i mean even in the areas where the rain has subsided, dangers still prevail. the ground is fully saturated, and the river is still close to overflowing. several points. drain, fatigue shows the extent to flood damage to the neighboring check for public an entire district. if the city of us drop a flooded off to redeem bust in a river nearby parts of poland have also been submerged by days of torrential rain. a prime minister donal

a surrounding and the surrounding area had to be evacuated already on sunday. and yesterday, because of the danger posed. also by dams. now here you can see behind me the street is filled with water. that is water that came because a dam broke here in the vicinity, and it filled the streets in the fields of this town and other a neighboring towns here in the region. now we spoke to some people here who have to be evacuated. they've come in to check on their homes and they say that they're sellers are full with water and that they're now going to have to start working to take the water out, but also have to clean up the sellers because most of the things are probably going to be destroyed, there are also some homes here on the ground floor that has been filled with water . we were told that the water here on the streets and then into the homes was up to 50 centimeters and heights. so it seems like the situation, the worst has already happened, but people here don't know when they can go back into their homes and,

and how much damage has actually been caused by the water. the whole story is just a one of several countries affected by the flooding. what are you hearing about developments further downstream in slovakia, hungry romania, slower not very far from the danube river here. and we've seen the river yesterday and today and it is very full. it hasn't completely breeched its banks, but it, it is in full force going down stream. now we've heard from us already is here in auster that they say that the peak has been reach and that the level of the water is slowly going down. but that the highest level of water is now moving east towards these countries, towards a slovak, here, towards hungry. and we've heard all stories, for example, the mayor of budapest, the capital of hungry, saying that they expect the high to arrive there. tomorrow they expect the lower keys around the river to be filled with water. so countries further down

stream are now gearing up for what is to come in the coming days. and one of the countries that has been most severely hit is romania, especially in the east part of romania. we've seen the most depths occurring because of the flooding and romania and many rural areas. there were affected 6000 farms seem to have been affected in people there. how to find refuge on the roofs of their homes to try to get away from the rising water. and what about the forecast, julia? how's the, how's it looking for the coming days? so it rained without interruption all day. yesterday, it was raining heavily the entire day. it has finally stopped reading a raining here in this part of austria and the forecast predicts actually the sun coming out today. so it looks like weather wise, the worst has come to pass here in this area. but there is still concern that because the earth has absorbed so much water and actually wasn't able to absorb all

of the water that came down in some parts of this of this area. they had a rainfall over 5 days, which was more than half of the rain that falls over an entire year. so that's a lot of water. so there is so concerned that there could be a land slides happening and that eventually more dams could break. so the alarm hasn't completely been lifted and all stories are still on the lookout for any possible damages are still happening. julia, thank you very much. that was the w is julia saw daily in the flood zone in australia. well, well one part of europe is under water. another is going up in flames. at least 3 people have died and wild fires across portugal. more than a 1000 firefighters in the central regions are racing to save homes from the blaze . more help is arrived from france, greece and neighboring spain. of the hellish scenes on the edge of town
