[000:00:00;00] the the, this is the w news live and from berlin tonight, reaction to a wrong decision to execute a dual rainy and german citizen. german government says it is closing 3, a radiant console. its in protest. also coming up the clean up begins in spain after devastating floods. so that least a 158 people. the country isn't morning is people try to come to terms with what they have lost and just days away from the us presidential election, vice president come a harris and republican candidate donald trump,

making their case in the border states of arizona and new mexico. and recent gain violence in haiti, driving people from their home. tonight, we take you to the country to meet some survivors into your house. they escape to say the library golf to our viewers watching on cbs in the united states. and to all of you around the world, welcome, we begin with the deteriorating relations between t. ron and berlin. in the latest tit for tat action to run has summoned. the german envoy is over a decision today by the german government to close all 3 uranium in general. consequence in the country that in turn was in response to the execution of a german uranium dual national in t. ron, this week of the german foreign minister on the bare block announced the german government's move today saying relations with the wrong have reached an all time

low. she's calling for the european union to extend the sanctions against the wrong berlin had been warning of severe consequences for months prior to the execution. this week of young she charmaya, the dw political, corresponded julius of delhi, told us more about the latest german measures against the wrong. yeah, we've heard that the 3 general consulates of iran in germany have been order shuts by the german government. that means that 32 diplomats and employees working at these con slips will have to leave the countries operations will cease there. and if the employees are german citizens, then that is the only case in which they are allowed to stay. the embassy in berlin will remain open to continue providing services to the iranian citizen isn't here in germany. but we've also heard from the german foreign minister that there is an intention by the german government to keep pushing on

a proposition that had already been brought forward. at e u level, which is to go ahead with listing the ring and revolutionary guard, that is the elite, the military corps of iran as a terror organization and applying a sanctions to it as a tearing innovation. this is something that the book had already said. she was in favor of and this is something that would have quite an impact on iran and even the runs economy because of revolutionary guard is so involved. and he runs a economy. it's is involved in different kinds of industries. so this is something that could have a real impact in the country. with a more i'm joined now by been i'm been totally, but he is an expert on the ron and a senior fellow at the foundation for defense of democracies in washington, dc. and i'm, it's good to have you with this. can you make me tell us a little bit more about why mr. youngs she'd sharma was targeted by the rainy and

regime. why was see such a threat, a perceived threat to them as well as a pleasure, be with you? it's excellent question because no one can quite get injured. the intricacies of the or the minds of the national security elite of the government abuse monica public. and they believe that massaging media 22 year old curtis, iranian women was some sort of a national security threat. but what we know about mr. sharp that's background is that he was an activist in the diaspora abroad, somewhere between germany and the united states of america. and he was kidnapped, actually, before he ever became a hostage of these monica public of iran. i believe in the spring of 2020 marketing, one of the most kind of long range or a significant extra territorial operations of these monica, public of the run against a this it into the past 45 years. iran is already under western heavy western sanctions. now we've got germany. we calling is in bassett or to

a run. as we've heard, germany is closing an iranian console it's, it's asking for expanded european union sanctions. is all of this, the language that the rulers into wrong understand, you know, unfortunately and as has been seen in history of forces, the language that the ardent national security, elite abuse monica public seem to understand because where they sense an opportunity or a change in policy where rhetoric and reality has been made softer, they'll take advantage of it and pocket the concession. and those are important moves for berlin's over all the wrong policy. again, the marching uh, the iranians, withdrawing the ambassador, closing down console. it's not letting these mamma, public take advantage of diplomatic immunity to run a mock not just across a german territory, but across to you. but these are steps that need to be amplified across the and

ultimately time will tell if the 26 other european union nations joined berlin and seem to spread in this way. i know that it's a wrong do not expressively connect the execution to iran, ongoing conflict with israel, but the judiciary claims that young sheed was, and i'm courtney here. i'm taking orders from masters in western intelligence agencies at what do you make of that? i think if we look closely at the 2 different times, the running judiciary upheld mr. chavez death sentence at least into making a mockery of the entire traditional process. not even abiding by international law, but also by the domestic law inside the run and the consistent layering on of these various almost or williams and national security charges is not above. but really a feature of the way the islamic republic uses is to do sherry against no, all perceived enemies foreign and domestic. and again,

along the suffering. the victims of this had been the running people inside the country as well as dissidence in diaspora, which had been chased by intelligence, agents and terrorist across 3 or 4 confidence. now for 45 years. mr. young cheats, daughter, and she was very vocal, and her criticism of germany in the united states were not doing enough to help for father. do you think more could have been done? indeed, you know, the steps that for atlanta is now taking, calling for the again, the designation of the islamic revolutionary guard, cor, as a terrorist organization within your, the diplomatic, the marches, the downgrading of the political and economic ties. all of these were things that would have been helpful while mr. shock mug was in prison. it's worth also noting that this individual has a us, a nationality or us permanent residency. which for the 11th of act requires him to be treated like a us citizen. under us law, and unfortunately the us in the late summer, early fall of last year had

a $6000000000.00 hostage deal with the government of these logical public and unfortunately left mister sharp eyed behind. so this is a failure in the trans atlantic community of getting the run issue right and standing up for old hostages that continue to remain been, i'm been totally blue with the foundation for defense of democracies. we appreciate your time in your analysis tonight. thank you. thank you. in spain cruise continue to search for bodies in the wake of flooding that has claimed the lives of at least a 158 people. a 155 of those deaths occurred in the eastern region, valencia alone. the coastal region of mercy was also badly hit. cleanup efforts are now underway with residents working to salvage what they can from their homes and businesses. additional st was the worst flooding to hit spring in over 3 decades. a drizzle rain battered the region after a cold dropped trigger huge storms on co dropped or when

a cold at atlantic low pressure system collides with warm mediterranean air. rescue will cause the scouring valencia's flooded landscape and lifting stranded residents to safety swathes of the area. a complete list of much of 3 years. west of rain failed in just a few hours marooned vehicles. littering moved to ways and piled up in the streets, showed the strength of what was springs was not true, dissolved in a century efforts to clean up modern debris from the storm underway. residents and questioning why they would not sufficiently wound up the incoming flood tool to a i don't know if it's ok. you have anything. i haven't

seen the police know the man nor anyone else. no one has come here to show that face. this is unexpected because the truth be told, this is an unprecedented the robber. they raced the alarm when the water was already here. when they told me the flood was coming, it was already too late. down the road, they were telling me on the phone that the water was coming and i said to myself, but it isn't raining. and when i looked out, there was already a meter of water here and i got overwhelmed. i couldn't do anything. i said i'm going downstairs to move the car and i went downstairs and the water was already like this at the door of spain's prime minister. petra sanchez visited valencia where he will and residents that the situation is still on such. and i would like to tell the people who live in the province of valencia and also interest to you on that. the storm is continuing,

so please stay at home. do not go out. you can stay at home and listen to all the warnings from the emergency services. i say they don't have to be able to attend the locals and now advise to hunker down and wait for the next stage. and was, is an unprecedented natural catastrophe. of a more i'm joined now by jeff the cost that he's a climate scientist at the university of redding in the u. k. it is good to see you again. do you know what happened in spain? what went wrong? how within so many people died, when we know that a, whether warning was issued right? these guys route. i mean, that is truly appalling. what we're seeing in the reports that you just showed us now with the victims talking about unprecedented lives of this, of, and many things went wrong. a few of the things went right as well. it's worth mentioning. so this was a well forecasts that event, but the spanish mit for logical agency. however,

clearly the warning have not reached the people in time to save themselves. i'm not just talking about property damage or infrastructure. well, we need to remember here is that on more than a 150 people died for an event that was well forecast that uh so there are questions that are going to be needed to be answered by the authorities and by the decision makers, locally and all set and national level in spain. do you think the authorities, perhaps, should pose the question? did people take the warning seriously enough? and this is a really tricky question bordering on victim blaming. i personally think, i don't think they should blame the victims. i think that's the whole education behind this risk education preparedness. i mean, the med agency issued warnings well ahead of time,

also written warning in the morning itself, which would have been plenty of time for people to not die through this flooding event. but what we've seen is a delay in action, and maybe what we've seen mostly is in action by some of the stakeholders and decision makers. they have multiple channels for warning in spain. this time they also issued the sell broadcast warnings. so these are warnings that come directly to mobile phones and they admit the specific sound um, on the way in germany, they have that as well. now this type of warning can be useful, but this is a stark reminder to rely on. the technology alone is just not cutting it, sending a warning when people already swept away that they're not fighting for their livelihood is just not good enough. we heard that it wasn't phenomenon known as co

drop triggered the storms and all of this precipitation of this is not unusual in this region. talk to me though about how climate change may have influenced and may have made it that much more severe. yeah, well thanks for the question. so cold drop is a term use the lot in spain and also and from for recurring where the friends and where the phenomenon i usually also winter now climate change. i think we're past of age whether climate changes have been uh how much climate change it's when says there to the storm practice. we live in a changing climate. this of the well predicts the it's document the world leaders have much to making the world better and safer and more with the volume klivis. we know that climate change. uh, let's put it the other way around. if there was no climate change,

the scale of event would be unlikely to happen in this type of frequency and intensity. so what we're seeing now is really the rec, for rain, cold drop as you said. but there's more moisture in denver swear, cuz the other says warming through fossil fuel burning and climate change, which means warmer sea surface temperatures, warmer air temperatures, so that mr. can. ready move other so as you nicely described earlier, when a cold from that's coming from the atlantic over there and then so, and disk space there is just so much more energy in the atmosphere and so much more potential for severe downpours, which we've seen this time around yeah, unfortunately the we have the, the results that we're talking about tonight just the cost, the climate sciences at the university of writing in the u. k. jeff, we appreciate your time and your valuable insights. thank you. it's rodney

as well. there are 5 days to go and so the us presidential election and the democratic and republican candidates. they are campaigning of the states, the border states that border on mexico for that regression from the harris. she said to hold a rally in phoenix, arizona. later today, being well republican donald trump, he has been in albuquerque, new mexico. trump is taking his message of stealing back immigration to the state and he is moving latino voters. they are back in mexico is a democratic stronghold. the republicans are hopeful that they can calls and others say that you can't win new mexico. i say look alright, let's scroll down to washington to my colleague our correspondent janelle, to milan. she's been following the campaigning forest about 5 days to go both the truck and harris campaigns are busy not necessarily with, with the border control and immigration,

but damage control. talk to me about that. yes, brand. so you would say that if there was ever a time for a campaign to avoid mistakes and now would be it's. but then again, here we are. so the trump campaign is still being dogged by the fall out of from racist remarks that were made during one of his raleigh's, a comedian, referred to wherever rico as a, as an island of garbage. that should have presented an opening for a couple of hours. but instead, she's had to clean up remarks that president biden made where he appeared to refer to tom's supporters as garbage. she has had to work to distance herself from those remarks and also clarify that that's not what president biden meds in any case. so she's campaigning in those states that you mentioned the with the likes of big musical acts like las vegas, the not the like jennifer lopez and, but not to show that the of these, the latino celebrity community is behind or jury still out on how much of that really matters, and trump is also campaigning and western states as well uh to court the latino

votes. but speaking of damage control of course, thoughts. he is still having to deal with the remarks that he made about how he vowed to be a protector of women. whether they like it or not, paris has seized upon those remarks to say that that is further evidence that trump is telling women what to do with their bodies. so there's been a lot of those sorts of things uh, in the last couple of days. uh, but of course, so the closer it is to the election, the more these kinds of mistakes are magnified because it really is now where the electorate is paying attention. you know, i know you've been, you've been watching the campaigning. i mean, tell me what you've experienced it. what do you think will be the decisive moment? by the time tuesday era? you know, um i've thought about it a lot and i think i'm a basic position is this right? like if trump wins, it will be down to because of how borders think you will handle,

handle the border immigration and the economy. and also because of the voters, general feelings around how the bite and administration handled the price is in dollars. the price is a new brain and generally how big, how the why didn't administration handled prices in the world if harris wins, it will be, it will be because of voters feelings on reproductive rights and the protection of democracy. no, i can't really say whether there will be any definitive moments that could sway this race one way or the other. the race has been so close for so long. no game changers have been thrown up in this time, perhaps since harris took over the ticket. a but you know, there are only 5 days left, but there are still 5 more days left for anything at all can happen. yeah, in 5 days can be a very long time in the us presidential campaign, especially at the, at the w course funding your television bill. do you feel out on the campaign trail for us to night in washington dc. janelle,

thank a and they'll have more on the us presidential election coming up on the day this in about 10 minutes time going after this program, including an interview looking at accusations by the harris campaigning, former associates. donald trump, that the former president is a fascist. that's coming up in just a moment. in the caribbean, the country of haiti armed games had been terrorizing the population there for years. they kill and torture intentionally, burn houses down and kidnapped people forensic. it's forest, hundreds of thousands of people to flee their homes. you went back to the security emission, led by kenyan police, has been working to stabilize the country, but it seems the gains are regaining stream or recent spate of attacks of the asian capital upper to thousands of people in a matter of days. so you would helicopter was attacked by gains to airline said suspended flights the haitian police and say the games could soon take control of

the entire city of porter prince. our next report is from dw corresponded mario mueller, who travel deported friends to meet survivors of gang violence, and a warning. this story contains graphic descriptions of extreme violence of cause control, trash lifted streets. this is what much of haiti's capital looks like. these days. most residents left this area a long time ago. we are on the boundary of gain territory and despite fee, as metals, the police have been unable to restore safety. as a street vendor tells us why she still comes here. thank god, god bless you at the same i like it's even more dangerous where i live and i can't sell anything there. here i can make at least a little money to take care of my children. we don't have time to get more of her story. as well,
