american evans dean. it's good to have you with us spain's prime minister pedro sanchez's deploying 10000 more troops. and police officers to help recovery efforts in the parts of valencia hit by. what he says was europe's 2nd deadliest flood in a century. a years worth of rain fell in the region within several hours, sweeping away homes and cars. more than 200 people have died, but the death toll is expected to rise with dozens. so missing. local authorities have come under fire for not warning residents of the incoming flood waters until it was too late. and for more i'm joined in the studio by dw correspondent nicole reese, who is usually reporting for us from spain. nicole really great to have you here in berlin to talk about what's been happening there are so 10000 troops have now being

sent to flood head valencia. but the spanish prime minister has been saying, he knows this is actually not even enough on his property rights, because we might very be a very easily be looking at one of the biggest climate catastrophes in recent history. in europe, we've seen lots of extreme weather events and these past years also this year, but nothing likes so that needs to be more help and they need to figure out the pond at the moment we see the launch is deployment of military and security forces in times of peace, we might also see some international involvement in the close of future. there are office on the table, but spain at the moment is pulling people from his own regions to go into the effective areas. and in a few days, that will also be a declaration of catastrophe zones. the affected areas will be made catastrophe zones. that means that the local government actually can access easily fees to help funds that they really need. and in the meantime,

the spanish government also needs to make sure that this unity on the political level, because we've seen the blame game and just have 2 days. everybody's looking for the party that is responsible also because the warning system apparently didn't work as well as it should have work. but people are sensors. the prime minister of spain is currently trying to get everybody together and that they're not political differences, but everybody is just focusing on this crisis, which will be there not only for a few days, but weeks and months. i think you, you mentioned that spain has never seen a natural disaster of this kind. do we know now the scale of, of what has happened? i think we have an impression of that scale, but it's too early to really decide how big of an impact this we're looking at is something that in the future probably will be a wound in spanish society mentally. it cannot make only historically, people are just trying to solve the and necessities wife. now say i used to

torrential rains, but if not, what happens there? so they're trying to sort out where are the missing people? is my, my beloved ones still alive or somewhere trapped? food, water, shelter, the main necessities of life. and this is crisis mode right now. this is naked survival really. and only in the, in the longer future, i think we will learn how big of a catastrophe is there, is because the building needs to be done as well. and it's not going to be from one day to another or from one here to another. it's very complex poll cities have been devastated businesses as well. this will also be issued economic impact, but at the moment it's really finding those people was field trapped and making sure that they're healthy and fine. and it's getting more difficult by the day, of course, that was the w is nicole wrist. thank you so much. nicole for all of your reporting . let's get a check now. some of the other stories making headlines around the world. the u. k . conservative party has elected former business minister,

kimmy bade knock as it's new leader. she replaces former prime minister re she's soon act. she becomes the 1st block leader of a major british political party. or task is to try to restore the party's refutation after it suffered its worst defeat in nearly 2 centuries. in july selection center. then smog is choking of the pakistani city of before after air quality level sunk 2 dangerous lows. official said that particular pollution had briefly spine to more than 80 times over world health organization recommended limits. air quality monitors consistently rank the city with some 13000000 inhabitants as one of the most polluted in the world. a u. n. a teams have resumed a polio vaccination campaign in parts of garza, it was the rail advise really bombardments, mass displacement and a lack of access to the children who need it. the vaccinations began in september after the 1st polio case and 25 years in gaza was detective

is rallies, have joined dozens of rallies across the country, calling for a hostage deal that would free the nearly 100 captives still being held by him. also military in gone, so the group representing families said israel could secure a deal now that the hum us leadership had been vanquished. but prime minister benjamin netanyahu, his vows that is really forces will continue fighting and gaza until there is, there is what he calls complete victory. dw, corresponding funny, if a chart is at the protest in jerusalem and she joins us now for more. so funny, we know that these protests have been going on every week for months now, but are the intensifying rocket attacks by has well on having an impact on how many people are taking part in these demonstrations as well. if you look at this

particular protest, you'll be home in jerusalem. you do see a few 100 people and yes, they've been big of protest before i have an, as you just mentioned, they've been protest across the country, intel of even other pods. and this did not stop effective inputs almost every weekend and in jerusalem alone. this is the 2nd protest actually this week because the 1st one was on monday. when these are the parliament, the class that convened for the 1st time for its winter session. and people's demand didn't change, of course they hear calling on time and as soon as hang out saying that shame on you probably send it to now because you're not prioritizing the lives of hostages. rather, you're expanding the way to move the front door. so it goes advanced, even change, but the really, the big question is, what is happening to the 101 cap these that are still held in gaza and their faith completely unknown. just how many of them are alive. the fear here among people is the longer the whole city discontinue the the, the less likely it is that the relatives here, what protesting i going to see they are how many members alive?

that's what i'm seeing this time. it's very important to point out all these approaches to continue at various sizes. the government and the core part of this coalition wasn't shake and the government is still in place as it is. and that of course tells you a lot about how pull arise, use. well, and the society is in fact if you look at press pull numbers, the liquid for cheap uh, which is part of the pollution policy. it would win an election, wouldn't be able to form a government, but it would be the strongest policy suggested by polls. so clearly, even though there are these protests, there is a pressure that is to be kept up on prime minister. nothing else to change schools and facilities in gaza, hot through these to hostages. they also many people in use. what do we say that permits them to to know is doing a good job. both funny, we know, of course, that one of israel's most important allies in the united states and many as early as are watching the upcoming us selection quite closely. you've been speaking to

some protesters about their thoughts on the us vote and the candidates. let's have a quick listen. i don't know which is better from a full with tom, but at least on the side of the side, somebody needs to put, i should put flesh on in the us that the democratic party would when that's, let's say, hold for really. i think it would be another kinds of catastrophe if it's from photo and i think you've jumped the president again. then we have no hope for a hostage still in here. so i hope pamela harris is going to be the president. all right, so a few of the protesters expressing their hope that come la harris, when's the election? but funny is that representative of who is rarely broadly favor in this upcoming us selection. we simple suggest that the majority of these are at least actual prefer

trump over harris, but the more you leading to the left of the political spectrum, as many people here in the crowd, the more likely they will say with harris is the person to go to and the person that made pressurized nathan now in, within the next government to, to hop release the hostages and to come up with a deal. what again, also by the way, in this crowd be a for people say no, this is trump, trump should be the person to turn to. so once again, it is a very polarized society, and ultimately we just have to see next week the is going to be another chapter, obviously between us and he's real. but depending on the we know of us selection how the next chapter is going to be. and what it means ultimately, not only for the hostages, but also for the people of suffering and gone through the policy in the us, but also in leaping onto the most of these route. that was dw, this funding for char, in jerusalem for us funding. thanks for your reporting. while israel's operations

in garza and 11 and are taking center stage in the middle east right now, palestinians living and these really occupied with bank are seeing their livelihoods destroyed just last week, idea of soldiers allegedly shot and killed a palace. and in the woman who is picking all of their sparking calls from the us for a swift investigation. and an early october, a group of western states including france, britain, in germany. so that is really settler violence had made the olive harvest in the region dangerous for palestinians dw, as tanya cramer traveled to javan, near bethlehem, to find out more it's time to harvest olives and is really occupied westbank here in java, near bethlehem. it's not just palestinians at work, they've been joined by a group of his re lease abraham twist. olive grove is mike next to israel separation barrier. an electrified defense in this area, which separates the occupied westbank from israel of the this land has been ours

for a long time. and it was us who planted the olive trees or so after they built the barrier, they started bothering us. and keeping us from coming here, gun was last year, we were banned from being close to the wall. and so to our land, in that sense, as you can see, the wall is very, very close to where we are. you manage it up. he says it was the is really minute tree who stopped him guessing to his olive grows off to the october 7th attacks and the start of the boat and gone to the c. a volunteers from the is really organization run by speak, human rights on the ground, hoping that presence will protect the palestinians, mainly from binding his bailey settlers. are they come out today um threats they harassed a sometimes there's physical violence to various degrees during the other. one is harassment from the is really the army they uh, also they cause they question they sometimes arrest the farm. ours. uh for

questioning. they sometimes is a cool air, a zone and a closed military zone. the salt teva human rights groups in the united nations documented nearly $270.00 incidents across the west bank, including one dest overhaul for related to the olive. harvest from assaulting palestinian farm is to cutting down olive trees. said most of the discourse and is vile is uh, against all can with while listing. and so, um, a lot of people are saying that all that are raised and of course of all the guys of adults on the west bank, we must uh use only for some more for. busy us and so on. but again, we don't believe in at the olive trees are important and palestinian culture and olive oil is an important source of income. working together also offers something

more on the heck of it. we want to prove to them the army and everyone perhaps were capable of co existing together dies of this year. this has nothing to do with politics. as a people we could coexist together. rusnick ashad lumpkin. natasha my box. that is why it is so much more important this where we're not just harvesting all lives, we're harvesting hope we're harvesting hope that solidarity and humanity and a joint prosperous future in this region are still possible that with no restrictions or violence today. and the all of pick who's trying to make the most of the read. com to harvest as much as possible. you're up to date on the, the use of next, a documentary about 3 and text on women,
