the on the everyday things around. where did they come from when, why did they have all the time? i should just search for the day and take them out for the business. dw news live from berlin, and donald trump and comma harris go on a battle ground state bullets with less than 3 days to go until the us election. harris and trump make their final pitches to undecided voters in crucial swing states. also coming up space time minister promises more health following the countries worst natural disaster. in decades, thousands of volunteers have been filling the gap. official spear, there are still more bodies to be found. the

melissa china, thanks for joining us. we started in the us where the race for the white house has entered the home stretch on the last weekend before tuesdays presidential election . the 2 candidates had been criss crossing the country, making their last appeal to voters. they are focusing on swing states that will determine who will become the 47th president of the united states in georgia's capital, atlanta, democratic candidate, comma, la harris, repeating her pledge to be a president for all americans. later she is due to attend a rally in charlotte, north carolina, former president donald trump is also campaigning in north carolina, which is marking its last day of early voting. he has promised to crack down on migration and cutting tax or my president. let's take a listen at what comma harris and donald trump told voters. and we have an opportunity a,

unless the election said turn the page on the oh. of donald trump trying to keep us divided and afraid of each other. we're done with that. i have done today with the message of hope for all americans. with your vote on tuesday, i will end inflation. i will stop the invasion of massive numbers of criminals that have come into the and i will bring back the american dream. we don't have the american dream. we had a, we had it, you know, we also had the energy independence 4 years ago. this is all you need to know, campbell of broke and she broke it. we will fix it. i will fix it. it'll be fixed very d, w has been looking at what people around the world think about the us selection and what the vote means for them. this time the focus is on europe, dw, as brussels bureau chief, alexandra fun nomine, has more on what's at stake. c,

for alexis, we're coming to have a sports closer ties with us. and if she lose it so disruptive, put a 2nd still not on the president, cd. you opinions do not get a choice in the selection, but they will have to be, are the consequences. the united states is the most important part of the for us in the european union. we face a group on challenges and beat a migration on cry. mark change cried make change on, you know, security. april 1st you'll see in brussels could elect and you as president, they would certainly choose come a law harris. she promises continue. it's she would buys and zip codes, and those security ends treat even though many you tell us the do not really know exactly what kind of foreign policy comcast harris has. but if the trump is back in the white house along with he's america 1st approach, it's more than ever

a case of europe on his own. the you commission has even set up a special unit known as the trump task force to prepare for the fall out of the election during his 1st term, trump in post levies on steel and aluminum from europe. now he's promising to introduce tennis on hold for an important product because you know, towards others were received and signing those use something like that and move on to that box. i think there's a war encasements on the x rays, almost europe, and believe that come a lot have is understand such terrorists with 1st and foremost heard one u. s. consumers. they also view her as a strong support, helps ukraine. and it's nato and, and leader determines to defense democratic values. it would be a big win for also the joining democratic forces really european union and with the united states, drums plus the nation with also material leaders as seen by many europeans as

a threat to democracy. and he's a person to support team q crane is a source of worry for many on the continental or small military intelligence. so sharing, where are you going? this who have actually seen it uh, implications for the war effort of migrating forces. 0 died or no response movements on losses. i uh, 0 long as the law uh, shipment is out of something like this. even though trump is not likely to pull out of nato, his repeated questioning of whether he would defend nato allies has already undermined the alliance experts say it's need to headquarters. they're also getting ready for any scenario. what didn't you need to achieve? might clue to making clear, he can work with harris as well as with trump being thanks to him,

we pushed up to the defense spending, but also what he said from china is now very much taken on board. so i think by many of us, your opinions understand they will have to invest more in their own defense, regardless of who in steve selection, but would come along harris. many here believe europe would have an ally in the white house to spain. now, where emergency cruising valencia has mostly turned from rescue to recovery. efforts. days after the floods subsided, dozens of people are still missing. the just told from the natural disaster has risen to 211. the devastating flash floods have mobilized volunteers from around spain to travel to valencia in the thousands to help with clean pass. that's why they can

say, you know, we arrived around 7 in the morning. we don't know why we are being sent yet. we're a bit nervous. we're looking forward to working and being helpful residents, a grateful for the extra hines to remove the stick, modern debris from the homes at a time when they are feeling otherwise ignored. the fact that there's nobody came from the 3rd savvy? nobody, nobody do. you know what it's like when nobody has come here to see if we need anything. people have to come from other regions on foot to give me and my neighbors a hand on this as an outrage. no 8, no, nothing, no troops, nothing. they have left us alone. we have cleaned our own month. we have had to find food ourselves. so the prime minister petro sanchez announced you

will be sending another $10000.00 troops and police offices to the affected areas to help local authorities. it is spain's largest piece time deployment, and he also acknowledge that till socrates have been slow to react if it goes through and i am aware that the response that is being given is not enough. i know that i know that directly they have problems and shortages. that services have collapsed. municipal offices, a buried by monday are desperate people searching for the relatives of people who cannot access the homeless. i'm just going to homes destroyed and buried by muddle bodies. i know we have to do better to get the name of many residents in areas hit by the flood. say that the warning system is by local authorities failed them as valencia is coming to terms with the scale and cost of this natural disaster. questions of responsibility? new knowledge,

dr. steph on it will. and brooke is the director of hydrology, water, and cryo spear at the world meteorology coal. the organization who joins me from geneva in switzerland. uh, survivors and experts have said that the warning system failed. what is your assessment with what has happened in spain? thank you, and thanks for having me. well, at the moment it is very important to do a very capital analysis of the situation. what we, what i understand is that there was a warning issued by the national high commit to logical agency document. it's on the 29th, at 8 o'clock in the morning. so the highest wanting level that a low level that was there at the time. and so that was done in time, or when we talk about of warning system as failed, we need to understand the whole change. so it's not only the measurements and protections and the warning, but also the dissemination to the, to the information to all members of society. and it's not really important to do a very capital analysis at the moment. i cannot say we are in the chain,

something went wrong on if something went wrong or protocol, so that's all it does not follow to. so difficult to analyze this at this moment, but it's very important to do in the future note from it. you talked about the chain and there's a process. um, so if we might not be able to answer this right now, but what do you think needs to be done to improve the systems? i am going to speak about the chain. we need to 1st understanding risk flooding is a very dominant risk, particularly in the changing climate in the mid to in the, in the area. but not only understanding flooding risk and other risk, strong winds and snow events, etc. but also the ability to monitor and predict such hazards. and then also to issue warning at the right time and disseminate the information to the old members of society about that whole change needs to be put carefully on the ice thing improved. in terms of preventive actions for the future, many things need to be done and to have to do dirty action and prevents such as also the national hazard does not always turn into disaster. it has to do with

education of the general public education at school. it has to do with um, spatial planning, but also investments and infrastructure and money towards modeling system probably only has to be done, but we need to cancel. we analyzed with the chain was a 2 week to do popular uh goods and it did the right at the right time for this specific event. my understanding is that valencia is next to or near the tertiary a river that had massive floods the few decades ago. back in 1957, there was a mass of floods, and the city had to re route the river and how much of a role to display looking at the current crisis. well, thanks, that's a very good question. i wish i would give you the perfect fit. so at this moment we would really need to do a very careful analysis. important is to note that it was not the rain fall down in valencia. it was in the mountains behind the if you really had record amounts of rain for which hadn't been observed before. so it was really very extraordinary.

and time jane tells us we have to get prepared for some of the events in this region or in regents nearby and other parts of the planet that. so what data tells us? can you talk a little bit more about that climate change? uh, how much did it contribute to this extreme weather event? a me, thank you. excellent question. climate change is not causing a single event. it's changing the proper ability of occurrence off events like this . what we see that in the warmer atmosphere, and we have broken temperature record almost every months in the last one and a half. yes, except one months every, every months was the warmest months on record. so these temperature records are translated also into the temperature of the ocean. and so the in increasingly warm ocean is evaporating with water. and also a woman atlas fuel can hold the water the more questions to help the speed. this has been costing more and stronger, more intense precipitation. so climate change just changing the likelihood for

basic stream events or the one hand work intense presentation. on the other hand, also more drop out and water star cities. it's changing the extremes in both directions. but we have to go to the single event. what exactly is the role of climate change is very difficult. very 1st estimates from the world, whether the division of the service is indicating that probably the likelihood compared to pre industrial time. so when did, when we had a $1.00 degrees, a career planted is probably twice the likely would go compared to pre industrial time. but, but to, to, to an equity analysis we kind of answer. but we do need to be prepared that such events become more frequent, more intense, and was good society, dr. steph island brooks. thank you so much for joining us. thank you. to hear some more stories, making headlines around the world. little domains are heading to the polls and did reports of russian madeline. russia denies accusations made by the you and others

that it is trying to undermine the presidential election in the former soviet republic. pro european president maya sand, who has distanced moldova from russia. her opponent promises closer ties with moscow. some when are you creating president vladimir zalinski has called on western countries to step up their sanctions against russia. is it moscow is increasing its drone attacks and still has the ability to use western and chinese components for weapons? he noted that in october, more than 2000 ronnie and the phones were used against ukraine's enough. but quite enough. and finally, mexico's annual day of the dead holiday has come to a close with a spectacular parade through mexico city. norma's skeleton f, a g 's loomed large as thousands of people in cost to march to the beat of drums and the sound of music. the parade marks the end of the annual holiday, which honors the dead and celebrates life. the day of the dead is a tradition dating back to the ancient aspects,
