help with a clean up and to distribute aid to stranded residence. they've turned out in the thousands volunteers ready to assist in the off the mass of the deadliest flooding to hit spain in decades. valencia's or thirty's have taken control of coordination after initial support from volunteers. complicated rescue efforts for emergency services. after enduring years of droughts and dry weather, the speed of the flooding to close the residence and officials by surprise. this footage from social media shows the 1st waves of flood waters tearing into the outskirts of valencia. in the aftermath, the scale of the damage quickly became apparent, was more than 200 people killed and many still missing. the task facing volunteers and rescue workers is daunting. but many here say it's the duty

to help you with what the yes, how you offer photos of sitting at home and not being able to help. i finally decided to put on some suitable clothing and come to help you out. there are one and 2 groups at my university everywhere who go to the villages to clean describe, to remove, to help people. what are, what are the sort of dirty at this time is absolute and makes you but even human beings, despite the circumstances, as rescue assets, slowly turn to recovery. many a holding out hope that most the vibe is could be found. but also are these a warning that the death toll is likely to rise for the making these efforts if a more urgent and for more i'm joined in the studio by dw, correspond to 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. 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 of his property rights, because we might very be a very easily be looking at one of the biggest climate catastrophes and recent history. in europe. we've seen lots of extreme weather events in these past years also this year, but nothing like so that needs to be more help and they need to figure out that 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 as pulling people from his own regions to go into the practice areas. and in a few days that will also be a declaration of catastrophe zones. the effective areas will be made catastrophe zones. that means that the local government actually can access easily these 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 in the past few 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 worked. but uh, people are sensors. the prime minister of spain is currently trying to get everybody together. and that they're not political differences, but everybody's just focusing on this crisis, which will be there not only for a few days, but weeks and months. i think to 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 is we're looking at something that in the future probably will be a wound in spanish society mentally. economically, historically,

people are just trying to solve to fan necessities right now. they are used to parental reigns, but if not, what happens there? so they're trying to sort out where are the missing people? is my, my bluff 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 we building needs to be done as well. and it's not going to be from one day to another or from one year to another. it's very complex. pull cities have been devastated and 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 risk. thank you so much. nicole for all of your reporting to the us now where it's the last weekend before tuesdays presidential election.

the 2 candidates have been criss crossing the country and focusing on swing states that will determine the next president in atlanta democratic candidate, comma harris repeated her pledge to be a president for all americans. later she's due to attend to rally and charlotte, north carolina, former president, donald trump is also campaigning in north carolina, which is marking is last day of early voting. trump has promised to crack down on my ration and to cut taxes my residency as we can now speak cdw correspondingly to now, to milan, who joins us from the us capital of washington's. and now get to see you. so just 3 days until the us selection and as we've mentioned it's seems to be 7 battle ground states that are pretty much going to decide who wins wouldn't even hearing from the swing states. yes, mariano, definitely it is the final stretch. and as you pointed out,

both candidates today or in north carolina harris was in georgia or earlier tomorrow they will be in the battle ground state of michigan. and on monday both candidates will be time painting and pennsylvania all the all important pennsylvania and many are saying it is the make or break stage. and this election, of course, at all, represents a part of this final effort to break the deadlock that these candidates are in, and all of a sudden swing states. neither of them have a definitive lead. there was a pool earlier from 538 showing that harris had a slight lead over trunk in the states of wisconsin in michigan. and trump had the lead everywhere else. but, you know, these leads are so small, they all fall within the margin of error. 3 days before the election and is still very much on an ice ads. all right, well, you're now also taking place in washington. today is the women's march. we can see

that you're standing pretty close to where the action are. what's the focus of this year is protests we can hear a lot of the spirit is speech is already underway right now. what are you hearing from the demonstration? yeah, as you've already pointed out, like it's quite lively. so 5000 people are expected to march from here to the white house. so just in front of you. so that's a very short walk. that is true as crowd size is go. that's not actually quite thought significant. if we recall back to to 2017, when trump was just elected over 420000 people participated in the women's march, many would say that was a reaction to trans getting elected. but to those who are here a 3rd year, because it is very important for them to be able to have their voices heard on the defense of reproductive rights. it is very important to them to see the restoration of the federal protection to the right of an abortion that right, that was overturned when ro versus wade was overturned. now just because of who the

candidates are and who they represent, a gender is going to play a very big role in this election. and whoever becomes president will really determine the shape of what it means to be a woman in this country for the years to come. and many of the demonstrators here today are very aware of that fact the cell is dw correspondence. and now the milan reporting for us from the women's march in washington dc just a couple of days before the presidential election in the country. janelle, thank you for your reporting. we appreciate it. all right, let's turn our attention now to some of the other stories making news around the world. the u. k. conservative party has elected former business administer kimmy b knock as it's new leader. she replaced as former prime minister of ration sooner . she becomes the 1st black leader of a major british political party. her task is to try to restore the party's refutation after
