threatens to close plans to say the i'm feel welcome to the program. spanish emergency services, at least 51 people have been killed after torrential rains, pumped flash flooding in the country, south and east. severe weather. warnings are in place for tens of spain. 17 regions the worst effected area is valencia emergency services are welcome to reach areas where the funding has hit hottest. the regional government says many people, the stranded in inaccessible locations. isolated in fost blowing flood waters. a stranded truck driver is saved by emergency services. across the southern spain, muddy torrance floods and flash rain full cause habit,

several people are reported missing. emergency services scrambled to rescue the is in danger, while others assess the damage from a deluge that fell in a flash. i talked with my neighbor and he told me that until mid day, nothing happened. but suddenly, in such a short time, around 300 or 400 leaders of rain came down from not just one hour ago, the water reached here to reach my ankles. but at some point it was up to here you are not able to walk here. you couldn't even see the bridge and said the water has been going down. how similar or some storms have last, spain in recent years. the rain full has helped the country recover from the severe drought, which in turn increase the risk of flash bloods, like these scientists say these extreme weather episodes,

a likely link to climate change straight to the spanish capital. wherever joined that correspondent nicole rece. welcome. nicole. tell us more about the scale of the damage will feel i think that the scale of the damage is yet to be seen in these next few days or even weeks. what we can say though, is that the motions here, uh, went from shock to morning, very quickly, yesterday night. we already sold the pictures of the devastating torrential rains and the flooding. and uh they were talks about and reports about missing people. but now we're looking at at least 51 people that i reported did. and some voices here already saying that this number will most likely go off the devastation is big streets have been washed away. riches are of that have broken down. infrastructures are destroyed very massively in some places and actually the forward to so still

calling on people not to go out, not to drive anywhere in the province of volunteer, for example. um, the weather alert has turned from red to orange inch now, so it knots down, but it's still very difficult to get through to people on the edge. you really caution everyone in the affected areas to just stay put and not to any movement towards any potentially risk risk area. a problem and tell a minute silence. what else is the government doing? well paul, them is also considering to suspend its activities today as one parliament member today put it as a smell of the day for political debates. so we're still waiting for this confirmation. in the meantime, prime minister pedro sanchez has also taken and taken to the stage and has a talk to people. he's sending a message of condolences to those will affect it already know that they have lost

loved ones and a friends. he's also cautioning people not to go out and he says that everything will be made possible for the rescue services all the support that they need. we know that a 5 grades, for example, are working together with a military and that as deployment from other regions to what's the effected regions . he's also saying that it will take a mess of effort to rebuild infrastructure. he's seems to be counting on the help of you countries that because he mentioned that it will take the whole of you to actually support these measures. but in the meantime, he describes that spain today, the whole of spain isn't tiers. and what's being said about what ton vis flooding into flash flooding, catching people. so on there when well we have a severe without putting that on here, which means that cold and hot air ok sort of, you know, quit and siding in the same moment. this is why this massive torrential rains. they

were much stronger than usually these areas around balanced in the province of ireland. so for example, i used to these flash buildings usually with less damage. so and this time it was just much more more to end the soil, which is also and very um that soil because there were lots of droughts in the last 2 years, cannot absorb the water. this is why we have floating and also the rivers cannot taken so much for to the source. they are not really used to it. and then this the other side, obviously people have known these phenomenons in the last year. they have known torrential rains. but i think nobody and really counted on this scale of damage of these scale also of the desk pool at the moment. so this is why the shock and the morning here are very severe right now. and this is the climate change is on the political agenda that is it nicole because, you know, you, people will ask, what's the country's been doing to increase age of resilience against these, whether extinguish scientists tell us will happen. more often climate

change is very much on the agenda off the spanish government, since this is a country, this is a head which is heavily affected. i just mentioned it trout structure of very severe here. this also makes flooding more uh, easier, but actually it would take also changing the cities from, from the very ground these cities that cannot it's salt water really. and this is the strategy that we haven't really received here from the spanish government at the moment. it seems that all efforts and costs in being invested also in warning systems which, which usually work quite well. they're also there for the rescue effort. so being quicker, really taking care of the people. this is all massive but s b c. yesterday and today rescue missions at the moment i hindered because the infrastructure has collapsed because communication has collapse. and this is something that obviously you cannot really control. and you cannot control climate change all these weather

events. you can only prepare for the worst and hope for the best really in these scenarios at the moment as cities are light because they are made of segment made of a steel and this type of water cannot be absorbed anywhere here in most of the spanish cities. at least thank you. nicole, nicole reese in madrid as well. stories making headlines around the world. the prosecutors in georgia have begun an investigation into allegations of vote rigging during the south. today's problem entry elections, opposition, pauses on president uh, southern me, unsuitability claim to fall was falsified in favor of the ruling pro russia, georgia, dream politics, international observers say to vote for this month, but violations but have stopped short. let's say it was raked. pulse of oakland in pot swan and my vote is the deciding whether the ruling botswana democratic party will extend its decades long will be the page being in power since the country gained independence from britain. components been dominated by economic challenges

including rising unemployment, almost a 100 published indians have been killed in thousands more injured. and it's really striking the north of gaza as go to health officials and rescue workers. miss ailes . it's a residential building in the town on the bathroom. that here the state department describe the death of harvey fine and says it is thinking explanations from asia cumberland harris has used the last major speech before of voting today to betray next week's us presidential election. as a choice between freedom and titles, the vice president to use the moment to focus on coal issues, including lowering the cost of living and protecting women's reproductive rights. she also attacked the republican rival, donald trump, and called on americans to go out and vote. one sign and fix the voters a week before the election, vice president tamela harris contrasted herself to her arrival, donald trump,

offering voters and unexpectedly positive message. the united states of america is the greatest idea humanity ever devised. so america, let us reach for that future, or she outlined her positions on key issues like reproductive rights and migration, or doing republicans to stop using immigration as a wedge issue. and instead of view it as a sort of the blue challenge, politicians have got to start treating immigration as an issue to scare of votes. and then the election. having said, treated as the serious challenge, that it is that we must finally come together to solve. i will work with democrats and republicans to sign into law, the border security bill that donald trump kills. addressing the crowded ellipse

harris also spoke to the significance of the location which i'm spoke to a crowd of supporters before the deputy riot on january 6th, 2021. her speech coincided with jumps riley in allentown, pennsylvania, where he criticizes opponent, and told walkers that is elected president. it would mark a golden new age for america. well, the how does campaign is facing another new challenge that's dealing with the fallout from a fundraising cool. president by made on tuesday, the following to comments made during a trump campaign valley. the president said this of the just the other day i speak rose row. i called puerto rico a floating, i'm a garbage. well, let me tell you some, i don't, i, i don't know the puerto rican that i know, or puerto rico or my home state of delaware. they're good, decent,

honorable people, the only garbage i see slowed down. there is their supporters is his immunizations . he is on cultural and so on. american is on the president has since rode back on those remarks. let's see where we are with just 6 days to go. political consultant do is parallel and has written about the strategies and tactics used to win elections. he joins us from 0 to welcome to the w. how do you see those comments from joe biden impacting on this presidential rice oil? those calls for feeling not very unhelpful. it's very unfortunate. now he immediately corrected himself. let's remember. i mean, it's not about joe biden. as it is not about that older as porterfield control, who made the corporate comment or actually it's really about the 2 candidates. so i think the damage is limited, but definitely not a good thing for the highways campaign. i mean, how much time is at that time

a comment live that cause who is going to be influenced by comments like that haven't versus pretty much made up my mind by now as well. that's exactly the thing . i mean, i'm highly skeptical of surveys. i think they're, they're deeply fault in the us, but for, for whatever their birth. uh, they may be right or wrong, but they are very stable. i mean, this is so very stable race. i think it's a very close race because it's a deeply divided society and country. i mean, let's remember, last time for these 3000 people in 3 states makes a difference. during the last mid term election, 6600 people in 5 or 6 districts decided control or a house of represent that they've sold. this is hope, holler, ice this countries. so you know, what are comments here or there? i thought that's going to be what's really changing the game here. let's just talk

about the net can that nature of, of recent um, us selection as it does seem like every us selection since barack obama left office has been pretty much neck. and that was why is that i would even count a minute to 1000 as very close to 2004 as actually a tough time that was conceived of clothes. so any election, really except 2008 was really close. and i think it has a lot to do with the fact that the us is a deeply, a divisive society. also people living in their equity numbers, people control left wing media or the right cleaning media. and i think frankly, social media in that respect has not made things better. i mean, through the 19 ninety's, you would have like, a half of the states being replayed,

no, basically it's down to 7 states where this race will be decided that. so right, the 2 campaigns for us, 6 days out who uh, which of them has done well well well, i think that the circumstances and the electoral system uh, clearly help trump, i mean with inflation. so high with the price is at the border. these are really, as we believe the wings of donald trump, no, he's suction on disciplines. messenger and such a full can do that. that. that's why basically this race is closed. now for some of the higher risk, it's the accept all the way around. the inflation approval, the rating of the incumbent administration, which sees, obviously part of these headwinds to hurt each, the real challenge, tearing it down. but actually she has done

a lot of things right. it is contained and that's why she's in the game. and that's why it's a close election. she has a very clear strategy. we saw it last night. the strategy is a independence republican leading women with the message of the democracy and the board some. and that's the privacy and the message that she's really pursuing. know how it will play out? we'll see. i mean even the, these close. no, it doesn't mean necessarily has to be close on the lips night. and the vision talk to us about the vision and the thing that, that each of these candidates is trying to propose for the united states as well. the very different, i mean, there's a lot of trust between the 2 candidates. and the, if you look at the contain slogan, stalls from make america great. again, i think it's one of the best slogans ever,

but would really give same context and meaning is the word again, make america great again. meaning it's something looking back to how things were before bare us. campbell, a higher is in many ways, even though see, east incumbent part of the candidates is pitching sort of a new chapter in american politics. how believable it is. uh, that's a different question. because as i say she use the incumbent part of the candidate on of course, gets a little blame for things that are not going well right now in the us. okay. much the think about that. we thank you for that to a political consultant. to do is title. thank you. know security is foreign ministers on her way to moscow for talks with the russian count deposit of a member of the russian foreign ministry says that she was on she arrived in the eastern city of lobby, vol, stuck on tuesday, before the traffic to the russian capital

a 2nd visit to a verse of this year seen as a mock of increased cooperation between the 2 countries. thousands of north korea, a soldiers are reported to have been deployed to russia's board with ukraine as part of those deepening ties. well, konstantin, i got says that the deputies of russia on list and is covering the story from vilios. so welcome back. constantine was being said about the reasons behind this visit. well, the reason is not very clear. yeah. its uh, ordering out the details of corporation between north korea and russia in a sense they still have a lot of details to deal with in terms of deploying north korean soldiers to the ukranian soil, including us as some russian expert telegrams channels. i'm mentioning the issue of language and comp and control. and another thing which is also being mentioned by russian sources and not only russian is that most korea doesn't do anything for

free. so it seems like they also want to discuss what exactly put in is going to do for the career. and what is mentioned is actually a giving up young young amongst such a lot of technology because it wants they don't. younger is the regime they're loc, reimbursing. they want to launch spice satellites and this is not going very well for them. so probably the russians are going to help with that. yeah, i'm, so that's on that. um, the, the north korean ministry is a, has a bag full of things to discuss with the russians. okay, so does that mean that the deployment of these troops is not a done deal if, if they are still ironing out the details? oh no, the deployment is a done deal. i'm sure to box it up. what needs to be earned out is probably some things on the grounds up as someone who's certain myself i,

i perfectly understand that when do you deal with someone who could speak to different languages, you have to ensure communication. oh, so i think that's what the north koreans who know screen soldiers don't scream office and then uh they live in a different military retail. it is just a fact. so they need to be taught a lot about how, for example, a russian come on structure works what this will that complex really means. so i'm sure there are things during the, i don't think it will be deployed tomorrow, i think still need to be trained. but as i said, i think that all the things on the agenda, not only this, this going to be earned out by the north koreans offices that are gonna have to be own ready in the russian regions. bold, are you great or probably even in some, uh like pride possible enterprise, are you great so uh, i'm setting that they are going to be deployed there. there's no doubt about it. and by the way, it's still not just about an hour ago i watched on, on uh,

some brush and youtube channels. uh, you know, a smartphone videos of most korean military. it was a red square kind of looking at the ones as a mask. when people taking self is with them come to think about that. okay, so all not then is the arrival of thousands of north korean troops to assist the russians invasion of new clients. is that actually making news that as well it does, i'm sure. uh but um, what the reaction to this news will be that's a different question. i think most of us of trying to isolate themselves from the reality will. uh and also i think the pool is not making your wish a big event out of the arrival of not committing those grills because any want someone who doesn't follow your grant can say then well, it seems like they're running out of wrestle recruits and they need for the health? no. so i do nothing. that's something that's going to be kind of drummed up by the

kremlin a bunch of people in russia. they try to, as i say, as i said, keep the heads low. isolate themselves from then present the reality eventually as, as it used to be in russian history. many times it will probably catch up with them, but probably not tomorrow. okay, fast. and i think as a counsellor thing, thank you for that goes to the i guess the deputies, russia analyst. thank you. a german as big as comic of volkswagen is facing and actually central crisis dw net profits file and massive 64 percent. and the last 9 months, the, the company's planning to cut costs by closing at least 3 gym and complex unions that meeting the management of the company headquarters in falls, bug phone weights. it goes to asians, which will also deal with the overall crisis. german chancellor shelves as indicates that the worker should not have to pay with that jobs. the pool management decisions in the past will not be sent out

from dw businesses that vw is the headquarters in vaults. but welcome, mary. what's the mood as well? understandably, the mood is very gloomy in here this morning. we were standing at one of the main entrances to the factory and spoke to workers as they were heading to their shift that we spoke to one man who has worked at folks on for 35 years. and he said that the mood and the situation has never felt as serious as it feels right now. but we also spoke to a worker said, look, listen, crises, come and go. and company boards come and go, but the cars will continue to be manufactured here. so gloominess, but also a little bit of optimism and it felt like there was a lot of whole pending on these talks, which just kicked off your advice book between employee representatives and the folks like management on wage contracts for a flex lines, workers, and what

a work is representatives are saying ahead of the talks. right, so this morning, a task and glue guy, the chief negotiator for the very powerful in game, entire union told press that workers expects the future for all 10 plans, all 10 factories of folks log in here in germany. and should that future not be safe, guarded by folks like management in that case, workers do not take strikes off the table, which would be potentially starting in the beginning of december. but overall, employee representatives showed themselves very open to negotiations and very curious in a way to see if folks like and finally has a plan for its employees future going forward in this country. now folks are also had a representative to speak to the press of the chief of the personnel on the mice when k. and he reiterated that the german car industry is in a tough spot. that production costs and jeremy are simply too high. but unlike the

employee representatives, he didn't open up the round for questions from the press. so folks aren't really showing a very close face here and thought it was smoke today that's i'm not drunk in profit. so i mentioned 64 percent. that's huge. did tell us about the overall significance of that right. 64 percent, as he mentioned it's huge. you don't need to be an industry professional to understand the significance of such a big drop. it means volkswagen isn't doing well and the reason it's not doing well is it that it's facing many headwinds? actually the biggest one and it's whole market in china where a buyers are looking more towards home grown brands like b, y, d. but also here in europe where people's budgets are pressed by inflation and people aren't ready to spend larger sums on an electric vehicle from folks long then on a regular vehicle from another company. lastly, folks aren't as also closely watching the presidential race in the west where there

is big talks of terrors, which of course, are worrying for an international brand like so, like folks are in so big worries across the board and therefore these historic moves this week, the 1st time in 5 songs, history that the company is talking about plans, closures, and that these jobs that floats log, which used to be a scene, a safe is safe ticket into the middle class are no longer that. ok, thank you for we have to embody money scene to vw, headquarters enforcement? just to remind you about top stories uh this, our officials in spain and at least 62 people instead of the dimensional range, pump slash flooded in the east and south, severe weather warnings that are in place for 10 regions. couple of hours since cold on america to turn the page and the last major address before next. next week's a presidential election, vice president. so to patricia message of unity at the time of the 6th divisiveness

why i love this job. nice and because i've got used to living with visiting and supervising together, keep it as estimate. stacy ellison century has been rescuing little to says she is in 45 minutes on d w. the similar in today's age between to me is to have a whole list stick approach to migration policy rooted in that respect for human rights. our investigative research shows the reality behind the use refugee was, is happening to migrants on the african continent. europe

dots, november 9th, the a world climate conference that's being held in baku of all places. the capital of us are by john, the authoritarian oil and gas producer. the goals are to reduce c o 2 emissions and distribute climate costs more fairly. climate issues are increasingly taking a backseat due to war and migration will also show you lots of positive things that are happening, such as the construction of a hydrogen network or more efficient batteries. but why is land being stolen for wind farms? could a i strength and climate protection and how can we improve food production.
