cooling system for not keeping residents in these high risk areas in valencia safe . the fact that we didn't hear those going to be. so people in the bronx like they haven't received the warnings in time. and they've already, neck deep in malta, when they got those alerts on their cell phones. you know, not suggest something's going very wrong. bad with the bullying system. spain's prime minister petro sanchez. net with me to relo to collect spots and emergency workers in the region to discuss the flood damage as residents question, if more could have been done to wound them for more general attend a velasquez, joins me from valencia. i made a what's the latest where you are where as you can see, the situation here looks quite different. busy busy to friday, when hundreds of thousands of volunteers came here to help with the clean up and to

much in rate here tracks more ambulances, the source and more press one. now, to leave the key now, and also to try to search and find those people that are still missing in the bus area that was affected by the plugins. and so help is finally come. do you know if there will be any more additional help coming in? uh, yeah, sure. we know that uh, an extra 500 uh, sold his hard coming use to join need. uh roughly 1500 soldiers that are already in place. the government has central government and ministry of defense has said that they will put yeah, all the resources available for that to help the emergency services or the risk you

too. but right now the most important thing is that is that with all these resources. busy risk you think we have more resources to try to look for the piece. busy that are be sent in an official reports, right. it just adds up to $900.00. uh, 1900 people would. busy are still missing in the coming 48 hours, you may see a shopping race. busy that's great, you know. busy rescue to start working again to try to find survivors after 4 days after the disaster journalist henry velasquez in valencia in spain. thank you so much for joining us. to the us now in the last weekend before tuesdays presidential election,

the top 2 candidates are criss crossing the country, primarily heading swing states that are considered to close to call republican donald trump and democrat comma la harris, health blowing rallies in wisconsin. the state voted democrat in 2020 republican in 2016 with a portion a key issue in both elections. but this is the 1st presidential vote since the supreme court overcharged the constitutional right to abortion in the us back in 2022. trump appointed judges were t in that decision. now harris has made restoring women's reproductive freedoms. a central part of her campaign, dw, in his poll reports, nancy davis has 2 daughters, summer who is 3 in baby starr who's just 5 months. it's a bigger gap between them and she had planned by the pregnancy between the 2 girls turned into a nice in june 2022. she was

a 10 weeks and the teachers who was carrying was diagnosed with crania of title no matter. so our member be released standing in a co hospital room here in baton rouge, louisiana. my doctor walked in and he said this is the worst case scenario. they normally die in utero. but if he or she makes 15 birth and he or she would die within minutes. so he recommended an abortion to alternately protect my health. however, due to louisiana's restrictive abortion loss, i was denied the carrier that i desperately need. then stephen public was their situation and got funding with the help of the bridge of the lines, an organization which offers practical support for people who need an abortion. she traveled 1400 miles to clinic in manhattan, new york for the procedure. you know, having to leave your kids, leaving your family behind just to access fundamental health care and going to

a foreign place where i don't know anybody. um you know like it was one of the scariest things of my life. and i was in motion and the entire time, like on a plane at the clinic. she stablished the foundation in her own name to support others facing similar situations to relieve louisiana in the deep south and test for hi. here in the midwest, access to abortion has been sharply limited since the supreme court decision, but it's still possible people like this come outside this clinic and dates and wanting to persuade women to not pass football oceans actually right now the clinic even has security because of people protesting outside numbers. so what as election comes,

you'll see more and more people doing that. talk to catherine romano has, has been carrying out abortions here in ohio since 2013 analysis. many people coming from other states. i think that's the intention of a lot of these laws so that people will be confused that people will be scared and that there will be less abortions. we see patients from georgia, alabama, arkansas, texas crossing state lines to get health care is incredibly stigmatizing. an abortion is a lonely decision as it is. so i think people who might have told a friend or a family member, if they were staying at home for their care, maybe are less likely to do so if they're traveling because it feels like they're doing something wrong. we oscar about the election kind of thing here,

and i think it's not good news for anyone with the uterus or who anyone who enjoys bodily autonomy. if donald trump is elected, i think she's been really cagey about his own opinions, but i think the people around him are very clear that they want abortion to be an accessible. c c you are more and that's the tension of future mores nancy davis boards. when i when i think about my children going through the same thing, that id, or like my daughters going through the same thing that i do. it makes me angry. it makes me scary. i'm scared of what they looks like and it is very frustrating. and there's one of the reasons that i advocate very, very hard to prevent my children from going through it to prevent your kids from

going through it a future generations to come from going through. the same thing for nancy's daughter is the choice of what they can do with their bodies may be decided on the election day. here some more stories make a headlines around the world is really rescuers say at least 10 people have been wounded and an overnight rocket attack on the central is really town of here. a residential building was reportedly hit. israel's military stated that several projectiles from lebanon had crossed into israel. the attack comes amid heavy fighting between his really forces and lebanon's hezbollah. delegates at the united nations comp, 16 biodiversity summit has elected to grant indigenous peoples better representation and preservation. a permanent organization will be created for them to consult the u. n. on decisions regarding nature conservation. the move is considered

sailor fireworks around. the wally police sees nearly 2 tons of it, but they're still being sold in neighboring states. and on the night of the wally marking the hindu holiday that celebrates the victory, a flight over darkness. the sky over daily lit up with colorful enlisted burst of light because of the religious sentiment. police often hesitate to act. good, that's good. pollution is a huge problem nowadays, especially today. it's too much. people were setting off by our tuckers late into the night. we could not even sleep because of a noise. a campaign has been encouraging people to light diaz instead or the lamps made of clay or mud. more environmentally friendly way to celebrate
