legacy of this wide spread race as depression today. history, the people we need to talk about here, the stories, shadows of german colonialism. this is the, the news line from bell and storms of full cost to continue after a deadly down for in spite flash floods less to trade of destruction. behind them, spain is observing, 3 days of more. also coming off the view of this thought of being forced to abandon our belongings is deeply painful. unfortunately, no one seems to hear our suffering. to sisters tell dw about this daily life on the sage in northern gods. the

i'm gonna hold off is welcome to the program. spain is observing 3 days of morning, off the flash floods killed at least 95 people with thousands missing the death stone best told could still rise. spence, king felipe is wanting that the emergency is not over. yes. the eastern regions, or mostly on valencia way hit the hottest. the south was affected to a so called coal dropped triggered these huge storm stats when a cold atlantic low pressure system, collides with wall, mediterranean and muddy charts swept away vehicles and ripped apart homes. across much of eastern spain, streets are strewn with wreckage from the countries was natural disaster in decades . cars the skies like toys,

a testament to the power of the waters which took everything in their pos, including some residents trying to escape the familiar. i'd like to see the the river rose in half an hour and we've lost almost everything. all even everything is . i mean, it was frightening over my wife's car and my daughter in her arms when the waltz was almost the chest trying to escape. the guest today is a chill. nothing of the tragedy is the people who have died and there is be many, there were many people who lost their lives. these are my savings, my efforts, my life, that we are life. maybe they'll say to some what reverse a years worth of rain fell in just a salaries in parts of valencia. tony village streets into raging rivers. people took shelter wherever they could, hoping not to be swept away in the torrents. like so many vehicles, resident said,

warnings came too late and gave no indication of the severity of the storm. emergency work is risk to their lives, to mount dramatic rescue missions in the midst of the downpour of to so much rain. fresh water is in short supply with people queuing to fill bottles. supermarkets have been stripped, bare of supplies. some areas have been left without electricity, or communications. road and rail lines were swept away, cutting vital transport links prime minister petro sanchez, called at spain's west storm of the century. and promised to release sake a, that's the, i know that behind the damage there are a decades of invest footloose in like projects which today with thrown into and so it's insane. but we will help you out the time being with all the results of,

from the states going to be some needed the european union. not that they don't even know. but for some, the help will come to late rescue is scouring the debris for the bodies of those who could not escape the unpredictable forces of nature which scientist sworn will was due to climate change. and earlier i spoke to the w reports. i can see that group as glasgow and valencia, and also what went wrong with spans with a warning system. well, i have to make sure it's here once the 1st times and there was a very was the region from the inside, somebody himself worth. it began to rain. i left me day on tuesday and there were they were sweet and rain. you know from there were, there were these last 2 days, but it's at this time it is a 1 pm. we make a 1st conference,

some braces the past. everything was now course been traded the sides of the region in the inside of the region, and they say it will be no fit or from the coast part where funding stays with the cities was now i'm so that people hear me. my so for example, i went to the cinema and it was 8 to 8 pm and we became the under from your smartphones saying that it was her, it was a because the sellers with others. but at that time it was, it was already here. so these weren't seems to be taking 2 legs or warnings because they must have the water was coming to the inside. i think they didn't see that. no, i'm going to on their home. it was too late for so many people that were trapped in their cars. to the workshop, when they were bringing their keys and the kids dressed from school, they were shopping centers and these are open. did it try to go eat,

which is we're seeing right now. does that mean it's a function both of the ways osborne joins me in the studio nowadays. we've heard the so called cold drop triggered those storms. that's pop the unusual. but how this climate change play into that scenario or yeah, it's likely, i mean, climate change doesn't cause the weather in the 1st place, but it made it was scientists are saying that, you know, because the region had been so hot over the summer. the mediterranean was particularly holt, and so there was a lot of work, so that was the best pricing from the mediterranean into the atmosphere. the atmosphere is then generally hotter as well as result of climate change in able to hold water. so it's room 7 percent for every degree of global warming. so that means that was a lot more water in the atmosphere anyway, which translates then into a lot more water flowing when there's this kind of event. now, what could communities do to prepare and reduce the impact?

i mean, i think it's clear that authorities need to reevaluate the kind of infrastructure and planning they have in place for, you know, the level of water that we are seeing. i mean, these ones are not going to happen all the time, but they need to pre prepared for what it does. there's also so called nature based solutions that they can put in place. so this can be something from planting more trees, which are able to observe water, or in some cases like in boston where the authorities are redoing public parks so that be they put in kind of meadows, they're able to observe water and also landscape features that can act as dams, in the case of, you know, sea level rise and things like that. and it was, it has some way to go in case if it goes down like that. exactly. and you know, in this case, one of the major issues was also the early warning systems in place. so there has been suggestions that you know, we should be taking these events as seriously as we would as quick since through nami, as for example, and maybe even having drills to know how to cope or to what actions taken in such

a case. you're the one who has one so that was going to discuss it with somebody from the spain's weather service in roughly an hour from now. so i recommend you to an info that as well. spain has the seen devastating droughts over the past year. it was there actually in the somebody with 46 degrees, it was incredibly hot and we liked it to see these extreme weather events getting worse. scientist say yes, and do you know these eventful for feed into each other? i mean, the drives that we've seen makes the hard to for example, which means when there is heavy rain full, then it's more likely to flood the world kind of drain into the ground instead of just flows of exactly it, cause this kind of ripples of water instead, the world with retribution, which is a group scientist, but i'm a licensed the connection between climate change and weather has said that you know, the last 10 most at least extreme weather events were influenced by climate change

. so we're talking about flooding or heavy rain leading to flooding drones, sheet waves, all these kinds of things that we are going to see is the temperature continues to rise. that will get worse if we don't stop and missing carbon dioxide and preventing the temperature from rising. but sometimes it, some people say it's too late to do that. it's well and there's argumentation also within the scientific community of our best. you know, there were reports still saying that we could stay under the 1.5 degree temperature limit that was put in place, like governments to try to stay under the, by the, you know, we are getting closer to that. we've already seen years where the average temperature has been 1.5 was above services wide. yeah, exactly. um, we still know at a place where, you know, the average global temperature is weighs about 1.5, but if action isn't taken, we could quickly get there and we're getting an impression of what it might look like if we cross that threshold. thank you very much, louise osborne dw,

as chief time of the report. let's have a look now. some of the other stories making headlines today. a taiwan is being hit by the biggest storm to strive to ireland and nearly such a year. so many people have been injured and thousands have fled for their homes. ty, phone conway is packing wins of over 118 kilometers per hour in georgia, official say a possible recount of last weekend's disputed parliamentary elections as confront. the victory of the ruling georgian dream pods recounts, took place at 12 percent. the coating station opposition parties claimed the vote was rigged by georgia dream. they also alleged russian interference and have refused to recognize the result. you appear in commission as long as the former investigation into the chinese the commerce platform. tammy. like today for doing
