i melissa chan, welcome to the program. spain's government has deployed hundreds more soldiers to help in the aftermath of this week. devastating floods, more than 200 people have now been confirmed dead in the south eastern region of valencia, where the do hit. dozens are still missing. the defense minister says more bodies may still be trapped in vehicles caught in the flood. the 2 nami, like scenes, have drawn a thousands of people from all over the country to help with the clean up and to distribute aid to stranded residents. emergency workers such a flooded cobb park in valencia. the victims of the recent floods. the rescue work is turning into recovery efforts as the hopes of finding people trapped to life have dimmed above ground firefighters of removing the cause that would tossed into waterways and piled up in the streets by the freshest

flood waters. the extensive damage is put daily life to a halt. good old rubbish, auto bill. we haven't been through the worst part yet. done. nothing can come through. no food to go nothing. the only thing that comes of the rescue trucks that can maybe bring a bit of food, but you need to walk 15 to 20 kilometers to buy some bridge metals by up on the pipe. i don't even know what it was that was no warning, w. w knows, i think in the end it was too much for everyone. it's true that they should have been warned, but in those circumstances, i don't think anyone could have done anything. it was something extraordinary. never seen before in mind. oh my parents lifetime, i get thing or your you love any fathers, not. experts say that climate change is to blame for heavy storms in flooding becoming more common but they also point to the failures in the low

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. there 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. linda spate is a hydro meteorologist at oxford university. i asked her what challenges authorities phase in predicting disasters like this. it has to be seen in we've seen a lot of told about how important the flood warnings on their lifeline for people.

really because if we can tell people in advance that a big spread like this is coming, then in this situation we hope you wouldn't have so many people in the cause and that would reduce the death toll. so we can see the value of these warnings. but they are really difficult to forecast, especially for these types of events where we have really intense rental in a very small area. it's difficult to know when that's going to be in and but so we need to improve the science. so it can be best with both testing, but let me also needs to be better communicating that message to the people on the ground so they can really see what the impact is so much what is going to be. and you can see the scenes playing here. it's just such devastation that unimaginable if you're not seeing that type of event, the full. so it's even when the warnings come out, it's hard to make people realize that how important they on the edge and see if taking action. so could anything more it could have been done for people to be warned in time. there's been so much anger at the officials but where the officials kind of hand strung by the information they had um no,

i think they could have probably got the message out faster or using different communication channels and make sure that people have the information earlier. the problem is this, the one certainty is that people are bit worried about getting these messages out and then nothing happening. so we need to balance that so that we don't, you know, get people ignoring the messages when we do put them out. and then the situation committee, any information a bit further in advance would have been very helpful and definitely before the voice was rising out for people's and just the next is we've had some let me do that's really concerning and really makes me think that something should have be out early if he was just being told about this event before that. so a lot of what you study is looking at how cities adapt to be more resilient to, to flooding. how could this have been mitigated? so yeah, we need to think we tossed up these massive ways of realtors that are coming down these rivers we've seen, we've already had that climate change has made this event. 12th of angels missed event 12 times more. i imagine the subway where we get through to looking at that would be the, the law size. so we need to think about changing the topic of us cities. not having

people living on ground floor, making sure we've got escape route. so ways in and out of the city we're hearing now that you know, support a car coming to the city after the flood. so can we think about how the logistics of that might work? how many people are available on the ground to be quicker to get the army into helping these situations? just be more ready to deal with the realities of a changing climate. that would be all going to see more of these events across the world. and we need to be ready to deal with them. now you talked a little bit about the impact of climate change. can you expound on that? just a little bit more. yeah, so what we see with climate change is as the atmosphere rooms, it can hold more water. so we know that water is off right from the sea and forms klaus and we had in this situation the most training and saving the woman is seen on record for a long time. and that means that just move water available. so when we have these type of events, then more intense, so we can see more rain. so we also know that we're kind of changing the patterns of the systems that we see. so we end up with

a big syllabus like this and they just get stuck. they were one particular weight region. i'm not to take, make massive ways and we want to that machine. so what time is it changing and dynamic ways, which is real concerned when we can see the images of the impact assessment for the linda space from oxford university. thank you so much for joining us. thank you. to hear some more stories making headlines around the world is really rescuer. say at least 10 people have been wounded in an overnight rocket attack on the central is really town of kira 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 of the united nations cops, 16 biodiversity summit, have elected to grant indigenous peoples better representation on preservation. a
