the meet the dots november 9th. the this is dw, and use live from the depths total off the survey flash flooding in spain, climes higher. well thirty's say 72 people have not been confab dead. the government declares 3 days of morning as rescue as race to save people still trapped by serge invoices also and the programs coming on harris tell us america it's time to attend the page asked the final major speech of the election campaign of the vice president's last riley is overshadowed by a controversy or comment from president joe by the end, the

on all the talk of welcome to the program. we start in spite and where at least 72 people have died in flash funding. the government is wanting people to remain vigilant as the situation remains dangerous. is also declared 3 days of morning for the dead. and one of the worst natural dishonest is to hit to europe for years. the situation is particularly bad in the mediterranean coastal regions of valencia and most yeah. about a 1000 members of spain's emergency response units have been deployed there. it's a deluge that has destroyed homes. last of the roads and through the trains of detracts some isolated in foss blowing waters. i'm lucky to be that skewed by the image and see services. a

lot of these have door people in the affected areas to stay home. but i think, i mean, they practically all the main roads have been cut off and the secondary roads as well. that is therefore not going out is not a mere recommendation. you know me, that it is a necessity to guarantee the safety of the people for stranded on the road at the end of the people who have to go to rescue other people for and the municipalities that they have not yet been able to reach you. and i'll pull you back. the waters are slowly subsiding, but the prime minister has one that the danger this far from over the study. yeah. but i would like to ask citizens not to let talk got down as the storm continues to cause damage. we cannot yet consider this devastating episode to be over. the last thought it'd be sold you. witness accounts suggest catastrophic losses. let him on from the front of the flood, took lots of dogs policies. he took away everything with another neighbor,

got trapped in his car, and we don't know whether he's okay or no similar items. tom's have less to spend in recent years. the reading father has had the country picked over from severe drought, but has also increased the risk of flash floods. scientist see these extreme video episodes like the link to climate change? dw is christina cool. west bluffs go in, valencia gave me an update on the situation. the 12 a situation is cody, it's also painful. as you already said, there, over 72 people visit or thousands of the people for i disappeared. and one of the worst things is that you can reach the areas and there are areas where there's still no electricity. it reaches a rotor broke. i went today to those areas where i grew up and there are

no bridges, and there are no roads. so if people are really sick, this and it is something has happened that we haven't seen it before in this region . what do we know about the rescue operations that are underway? very risky operations running, but i say i tell you there are some areas where there's no electricity worth. and there is also communication, also field town. so you can afford some people and there are lots of people that are still disappears and you cannot reach them. i'm the one that keeps it up. no, they're alive. or if they did, the rest of the teams are trying to get there. so they told us as if this is not a bit to the road because they are trying to get to those areas are still affected . what do you think people to get there? no spend does have a weather warning system. do we know if that works? like it should as well we seems. i see here also she says,

a retired, we have seen the coming, the warnings, the warranties were for the weekend. and we were told that the said, you said the system should come for the weekend if we can was. and why if there was nothing there, monday was the beautiful day here. but then everything happened on a tuesday at 2 pm. it began to run in the, in the region from valencia, and then it was really, really quick. everything happened pretty quickly. there were, there was a flash flood and the people have the kids you can prepare of. and the authorities told us they at their risk to teams work, but we haven't seen some like these, i think. and nobody was prepared for something like this. so we, we were, we have 2 words, and we also become yesterday, up to 8 pm, $830.00. and some warnings a week in our smartphones. and these mornings came today in the morning to and then

one in the midday. but when i was a young buddy. yeah, i'm who became deaf worthy at 830 at that time, what it was already here. i'm at the time before it was to a pm, were everything and because it will save hundreds of at will like 100 so you don't need there's if from somebody in here. so it. yeah. and they want us, but i seen nobody was prepared for something like these. we went to prepare and the rest of the teams were to parents either spend is used to storms in the or to um, how does this compare to previous years? well hey, is this a, this is the city i have grown up and i'm, i can say i haven't seen something like this before. there are lots of change due to time of change right now. do my name case also know for to be some steps 1st on that to happen if this time in awesome in a folder sharing. but if you, if there's something to say was, if people they go to see if this money or if they,

they need the 1st floor, it's basically the hand touching the floor in case the board comes. so we have these kind of a said something like this didn't happen this i mention, we have to see right now with so many areas that have been affected. that is something new or we have, we are used to these storms, but smoking the same as desperate situation that for those affected. thank you very much. that's the w a report that christina cool, best glasgow reporting from valencia. let's take a look at some of the stories making news around the world. the, as randy ministry has begun, strikes in the east and live in the city of fall banks. it follows a warning from israel for residents to leave the area around to 80000 people live involved, but its population has swelled due to displaced. people seeking refuge from is rarely strikes. the air is considered the hezbollah strongholds, and the new head of hezbollah named cassim has vowed that the group will continue

on what he calls as will plan, following the death of his prey to assess that has sun estrada and is rarely striking. september. i'm about to you also said the group will accept a ceasefire with israel under what you called acceptable types. metal. shauna and health authorities in britain have detected the 1st case of infection with the light, the strain of the impulse virus off the u. k. health and security agencies said the risk to the population remains life. and fox was def ed, a global health emergency bond, the w h o in august officer, an outbreak in the democratic republic of congo to the united states now and vice president cumberland harris has used to last major speech before election day to portray next week's presidential vote as a choice between freedom and chaos. ours used to move into focus on the core issues, including lowering the cost of living and protecting women's reproductive rights.

about her speech has been overshadowed by a remark by president joe biden, that appeared to disparage supporters of donald trump, vice president comalla harris on stage in washington, dc, making one final plea to voters. politicians have got to stop treating immigration as an issue to scare of votes and then the election. i mean, said treat it as the serious challenge that it is that we must finally come together to solve. with only a week to election day, the democrats campaign has a new challenge. this remark by president joe biden loading or reacting to comments made out of trump, riley, or comedian tony hinge cliff called puerto rico, a quote, floating island of garbage over a good, decent, honorable people,

the only garbage i slowed down there is your supporters. biden's seemingly referred to trump supporters as garbage. while a transcript of this speech suggests it may have been due to miss pronounciation. the comment has infuriated republicans. joe biden stated that our supporters are garbage, the garbage. he's talking about the border patrol, he's talking about nurses. he's talking about teachers, he's talking about everyday americans who love their country. they want to dream big again and support you, mr. president. and i hope their campaign is about to apologize from pistons distance himself from the comedian who made the remarks and even claimed he was the best choice for puerto ricans. somebody said that was a canadian, that joked about puerto rico or something, and i have no idea who i was never. so i've never heard of them and don't want to

hear of them from has also called on his supporters to forgive biden, using the opportunity to instead call for unity to appear and challenge to harris, who has positioned herself as a candidate pledging to be your president. for all americans, monday i us the w. washington correspondent benjamin alvarez. agree with the how biden from aux went down with the harris campaign on with us purchase. so it has of course, been many reactions. and also a couple of hires was to ask about that a comment earlier today. and after saying that biden clarified his comments, it was a tweet that was sent out on the jo, abide in ex account, is she also stress that i quote, i strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for. and she was also ask us to spoke to barton about this comments and well she said that he call to this topic did not come up, but there is a lot of damage control going on. the white house deputy press secretary tweeted

out the transcript of this interview. many also democrats, the coming out now saying that there's an apostrophe or that it was misquoted that he meant as something else and even vice presidential nominee tim. busy it's also tried it to turn the attention back to trump on some interviews that he gave today, cbs and also a b c best. so then i'll make tons only a few, couple of days left for election at night. and so if an apostrophe in a transcript, my dad didn't know might not be enough to actually convince voters. and for many this might have been just another reason to be actually grateful that is come out of harris and not to joe biden, on the democratic ticket. what about the timing of this incident? is there enough time to rectify any damage that might have been done? so someone saying that having to address by this comment is definitely not what the highest complaint wanted to do. only a couple of days out of the c u is this an opportunity for her to distance himself

from my bite, and also leading up also to this feeling that campbell hers is not distancing herself, and that she has no answer to the question what she would make different to a president to an administration of president a biden here, but it's not just the timing of this was only a couple of days ago, but also the, the leading to steel camera harris's spotlight. and it's so difficult also to clarify those remarks because yesterday donald trump broad florida senator may have mark a ruby on stage in pennsylvania immediately. it brought this up and of course several republicans are trying to seize this comment, comparing it to remarks by hillary clinton in 2016. when she said the top of donald trump's is support a full into and i quote, a basket of deplorable a lot can happen in these last days before the election. but if we'll look at the polls and we'll look at the current situation, even small political twist can be amplified and has huge consequences. what no damage control by politicians, by a party or by some pain,

it might be enough also to lead the interest of people also to other topics or to what other politicians are. se, thanks very much benjamin. that's the w. washington correspondent, benjamin. otherwise, a group and finally, san diego zoo and california is celebrating halloween with the best they bashed for a special residence. everest. the willoughby is also known as the friendly ghost because of his appearance as best they actually falls on halloween. then he was given hopkins to mock his fist. yeah. ever since y a is produced as a product of as alvin is a maria, genetic mutation among wallabies. that members of the kangaroo family found from merrily in australia and on nearby audits. happy birthday to you watching. do you ever use? i'll be back at the top of the hour, but stay with us up. next. maxed out. look at why the democratic republic of congo
