the, the, this is dw dues live in from berlin, thousands evacuating their homes and the worst floods to hit central europe in decades. at least 70 people have been killed in the flooding. so far in many more are missing and authorities or warning that the worst may be yet to come. also coming up in the us, chip maker entail shelves plans for a $30000000000.00 plants here in germany. it was supposed to create 3000 new high tech jobs, so we'll take a look at what went wrong and the readings available. freedom from cancer will visit

a children's cancer clinic and 11 non where economics and politics result sometimes in a poor prognosis for patients. the breakup is good to have you with this and we begin with the rising waters here in europe, at least 17 people have been killed in severe flooding across of the central and eastern part of the cotton. it's the worst that some regions have seen in more than 20 years. tens of thousands have been forced to evacuate, fearing river levels will get much higher before they crest. storm. forest dumped over a months worth of rain on a large swath of europe, leaving a deadly trail of destruction for people living near the regions, waterways. the deluge was disastrous. a pulse drama in the northeast check

republic is that the confluence of 4 rivers. at least one dike failed flooding the cities industrial center, as well as residential areas where hundreds re evaluated helicopters, pulled stranded people off of roofs and vehicles. we had to move out as we were in a flood zone. we have to wait for the water to drop a little. there's no water, no electricity. it's bad. some people have it worse. in south west poland, lumnick resident said, flood waters had knocked out all the bridges, leaving the town isolated. the once picturesque central plaza is now full of debris and mud. so many of the losses are unimaginable for the city. all the bridges are broken, asphalt is coming off. the town doesn't have the funds to repair it to the city looks like an apocalypse. i would call it a ghost town. yes,

the wounded. couple call you except the key are you all kept him last week. this needs to be the most of the parts of austria have been swamped as well. the village of most b, a bone was evacuated after a nearby dam broke and we were afraid, it was scary. we didn't know what we would do if we had to leave. it was a catastrophe. i can't explain it. it's awful. while the water has receded in some places, others are bracing for more throwing up sandbag barriers and keeping an eye on fluffed gauges. as the build up of high water moves down stream, climate experts say the regions, worst flooding and decades, didn't come out of nowhere. as, as the atmosphere warms, can hold more water, which will return to earth, sometimes with disastrous consequences. where do you say the situation in eastern

parts of austria remains tense, visuals, have declared, excuse me, the region, a disaster zone. the threat of failing dams in land slides is hard and evacuation is also continue. many people are still without electricity. there's relief as flood waters gradually receipt in some communities, leaving behind masses of mud and destruction. as dw julia sold daily reports here in the town of most b, a bomb and lower all 3 of water has come into one of the main streets of the town. and residents have told me that a few kilometers down that way. a damn broken water came over flowing and came into the town and going into people's homes. and so there's sellers, but also onto the ground floor as now people told me the water level here on the street was pretty much up to me high now it is slowly going down. the problem is, water is still there and there is no power at the moment. so people who are trying to clean out the homes and the sellers over there,

they don't have any power to be able to use pumps to get the water out of the building. and start to clean up. now here on this side, we have the main station of the town. and we see the train tracks also completely covered in water tree and traffic has been completely interrupted in this area. and we see now as the day goes on, the more firefighter is more people are starting to come into the town to check on the damage, but also to start working on cleaning up all the damage that has been cause here by the water billy, they are reporting from austria. all right, you have the politics. germany's opposition. christian democrats have tapped friedrich merits as their candidate for chance. for the next years. federal election merits. who leads the cd? you received an endorsement from his sister party at the press conference in berlin earlier today. opinion polls, but the conservative block ahead of the current parties that form the government

and merits is calling for a tougher line on immigration. a key issue for voters to transfer all off shields is 3 way coalition is fighting for its political survival. limited inviting any loss of voters support our let's listen to what the christian democratic candidate for transfer frederick, man, it's what he had to say today during that press conference to get to the phones. we're now looking ahead and in the federal election is in just over a year on september 28th 2025, w from elf. com. we know that we have a number of tasks. click another thing, but we're also looking at the current situation cuz me to talk, but we have already achieved something. well enough physician with wholesale up was its own house. it's also a vice drones easy look at migration policy. can we go to lunch for the take on without us and send our clear position on these issues at the tone? and these are some of the federal government's decisions. so i probably would not have been made. we saw it to indeed our phone gave them how many people we have

persuaded the federal government to make one or 2 decisions to do better. now who does it is still not good enough and is this which is why we're sticking to our clear position or clock and posing that it is necessary to turn people back at the borders of so at least for a time good enough, we will continue to work this out with the federal government. this way you'll invite are also talking or hi from politics to business. here in germany, the us ship maker intel has shelves, plans for a $30000000000.00 chip plant here. the factory had been planned for the city of monk, the board in the eastern german state of saxony on how it was supposed to bring 3000 new high tech jobs to the region. the german government had agreed to support the investment to the tune of 10000000000. europe's entail has recently seen weakness in his chip business announcing a $1000000000.00 loss for the most current quarter and a cost cutting program that has now stopped the knock the board project. it is, however, not entirely canceled but officially delayed by 2 years and

2 years, we know in the tech world as a long time, my colleague, large holder for our business desk is here. so what happened at entail? interesting that just said like the 2 years is a long time and just 2 years ago or been funding tie a couple of years before that, intel was the biggest chip make the most important to make on the world. and then they entirely missed the boat on a i a i of course becoming the most important tech technology that we have right now. it is booming and you need very, very specialized chips for that from india. yeah. from nvidia, exactly in video, to jump on that right away. and these, coming up with that now to especially with things to some recent acquisitions. but intel has just not really going down, they've gone down that road and that means they are losing market share rapidly. and that's like you just said, the reason why they last over a 1000000000 just in the last quarter and they're gonna lose a lot more money this fiscal year. all right, so that's the business side of it. what is it going to mean for it?

for germany, i mean, and for the local economy that was bidding on, this is terrible for germany is a terrible loss. and that is actually for 2 reasons. first of all, we're talking about marketable ok. let's just look at the location. it's in the eastern part of germany and were over 30 years past the german reunification is still the eastern states. the former eastern states are lagging behind the can comically. so this was seen as the major project just like a couple of years ago. test load going to brands and broadway, obviously outside berlin. and this is falling apart now in a re is in the region that would have needed those jobs, especially high tech jobs. but there's also another site to look at to you and germany and wanted another project to prove that we are someone here in high tech, that we're at the forefront of things and having a huge intel chip factory in the country. what have not only sent a message, but it would also have given germany a little bit more independence from other suppliers, let's say from the u. s. so from asia, specifically china. so what happens next? i guess you could the look at the positive side. this is that all of these,

you know, billions and subsidies can now be spent somewhere else, right? yes, in a way they could see it that way. where do we spent them? however, now 1st of all, we're talking about the delay in the cancellation. so we don't even know what needs to happen with that money. if this is money that we're still going to be spending in about 2 years down the road, we have no idea of knowing no, no, no way of knowing that. but right now the government is indeed wondering what to do with that uh, the treasury sector in the finance minister. he wants to just black holes in the car and budget. uh, the green party is this. they want to invested rather in climate projects, which is also of course, on top of the agenda. they are the left party. it has just come out with a statement saying that they would like to see subsidies like that. not for giant companies like intel. but they want this money to be invested in small and mid sized companies. so there's definitely a lot of ideas out there. yeah, and we'll see you 2 years we'll see who's in government to if i a completely different set of cards, we will say parts going to say or, or you want to go to 119 and now we're children with cancer are among the most

vulnerable in a country battered by political stalemate and economic crisis and conflict on the border with israel, the children's cancer center of living now, and they root is treated more than 5000 children in the last 2 decades. but as dw, as mohammed shared to discover, the hospital faces serious disruption as private donations dry up, some of you are is 9 years old. she's fighting cancer. so we have like all the other children here for set of negative i enjoy the activities and i draw and paint when i was coming here. do you want me to do you prefer it to be home? oh, i like it to you better than her. and yes, and she was for she was diagnosed with cancer in her blood and bone marrow and came here for treatment of to relapse in glass to you. her mother has brought her back. the center welcomed us once again and covers all the treatment expenses, st. god,

we were able to overcome this again to shall fall and i was, it wasn't for the centers, financial and moral support. we wouldn't have been able to make it through the hard times. there's no government money for these children. the treatment is completely covered by donations. this is the 10s of whole pools covered with the names of those who have donated money to make the center work. but the trouble is, depend on, is an economic, lots and effectively as for. so if your people are making contributions, putting this place at the risk donations are celebrated on the rules throughout the center. but many were in the local currency and have therefore lost 90 percent of the building because he is we had so many challenges from this evaluation of the currency to the crisis to the war and the all of the got

a blights us to of kansas. some of our events and that affected the budget that we need to days. and so putting something tied into this year, we are, we have a that's just a 50 percent of the needs. it's a month and this will have a good basis of not being able to accommodate the number and enjoyed the new patients that are diagnosed with kansas. the center is struggling. and yet it's important because for almost half of the child to with cancer patients independent is if it's freedom of the center piece or vice cancer more than a decade ago. he's buck not because of his health, but the support of the patients and their parents. man would offer it's my safe haven member for them, but when i feel stressed, i visit this place where i grow up and let me see. i then realized that everything is sicily compared to what i went for. i see how sensitive it was a task, but the beautiful experiences with most of the icons is over this place that makes

me feel safe, even today as an estimate. but i'm in the clinic and i have my tells me this is his favorite sports. this is the bell that children drink when they leave the center healthy. it's all these last course of chemotherapy. he's cleared of cancer. the into the future. if the center is too funny, when he's older, perhaps people tend to support others, as we certainly hope. so all right, you, as a reminder now of our top story this hour, at least some of the people who've been killed in severe flooding across central europe. the funding is the worst, and some regions have seen in more than 20 years. tens of thousands to be forced to flee the rising waters. the situation in many areas remains critical. as more rivers birth their banks. you want to do the news?

i'll be back at the top of the hour with more world news. i hope to see you then the city is hungry for the future in southwest, telling us 32000000 people live here. many of them are young and then the 3 is coming through making money. having fun stuff. september 19th on dw,

seasonal migrant workers in italy. most of them have.
