the dodge your journey get in by the business. the. the news live from ballot. friends, aides transports race to the islands of miles. authorities hundreds have been killed off to the west side clone and nearly a century. if the french overseas territory, the storm wiped out neighborhoods and console power, some survivors haven't had bullets of the days. and we just as a way from a decisive moment for germany's and backfill talks, a lot of shows people face a confidence vote in parliament that he's widely expected to lose clearing the pos for early election. and there are reports of is really strikes on serious charts as

the region near the mediterranean coast. footage on social media appears to show a massive explosion of a weapon. storage size. the i'm good, how about is welcome to the program authorities and the french overseas territory. of my you all say a 100. so a perhaps even thousands of people have been killed by the most destructive psych loan and nearly a century. and the islands of the east african coast were already fronds as ports overseas region. before sight loan shadow, flattened into communities. that a transports by the french military, we have stuff to arrive as rescues race to stave off a human need. terry and disaster 1st came the winds and rain from cycling chito and then came the next thread,

the widespread destruction left behind them. i yield one of france's poorest overseas territories rescue teams have already started to clear the debris left behind by the storm. and help is on the way from france, in the form of emergency workers and humanitarian aid. a badly needed lifeline for those who have already lost everything. come to get something to eat for the kids and for us adults as well. we've got nothing left. the wins taking it all the way we had stocked up at the wing took it wasn't one, i probably would have had no water for 3 days now. so it's starting to be a lot to, we're trying to get the bare minimum to live on, because we don't know when the water will come back and do. the full scale of the destruction is visible from the air. more than 3 quarters of the islands, 300000 people live below the poverty line. most were living in

a mixture of homes and slums and shanty towns which have now all but been wiped out throughout the measure how the house was built. every thing here has been give a station. i think you can see it all around me. i'm actually walking through debris is or people one day off to the site or not, or really busy rebuilding the homes. but the work is going to be extremely long to model. while some start to rebuild, others are left only to say their final farewells, as my young starts to recover after the war cycle and in almost a century. earlier i spoke to the john e as a demo, daniel brown, and i asked him if we have a clear picture now about the destruction in my old well, that's going to be frank. it hurts. no, it's still very high because of the lack of communication. so i mean 99 percent of

6 internet customers are disconnected. $51.00 out of $54.00 mobile network containers are still out of service primarily due to power outages. so it's certainly hard to calculate. so the extent of this destruction officially, that tells remains still as pointing and telling, sees, and approximately $250.00 entries, but says departments that are pretty fixed. so this morning said you could move notes, apply that figure by of to a 100. so for the moment we just don't know is your report said earlier, this is the worst side clone in uh, 90 years and its products and, and europe's forest region. and the scene in these images are sent to towns that have been flats and, and so the entire infrastructure has really been very hard. we think that may be as much as a 3rd of the residents there of the 300000 people living on my years. i've been

displaced by this and they're slowly coming to terms with the catastrophe that they've sitting in front of them. now from says already send rest to as an aide supplies what more is needed? yes, it does. it is, do, please, has deployed these rescuers, firefighters from the mainland and nearby territories like the reunion islands of its established air and sea bridges to deliver supplies and personnel to these affected areas. but for the moment when talking about its maximum of $800.00 or so military personnel and file firefighters, which is simply not enough, given the scale of the disaster, their priorities will be restoring electricity and access to drinking water as well as repairing these crazy cool infrastructure such as hospitals on the airport, which has been devastated and several,

my friends are still strategies here and from so i'm able to return to their homes . and so it's, the government is trying to collaborate. so not only and terms of the with the military and the health infrastructure, but the, and the french red cross as well. these measures are trying to address immediate needs. so the french government's not yet specified the total amount as a to detail, the long term reconciled destruction plans. and we're in the system facing further announcements throughout the day. but we'll have to wait for actuate assessments of the cycling through impacts. now there's a report by the fence parliament from earlier this year and that they've highlighted problems with disaster management in front of the overseas territories . at this price is have been prevented the most certainly god says the devastation caused by his site plan. it is just exacerbating fact is related to long term poor

infrastructure and disastrous governance. so you have to know that miles has a disputed territory and of a gerrymandering of the referenda back in the seventy's tories away from the more silence. and the i to pull out the next door, and there's been several un resolutions condemning the french and it's linked to the socio political tension. so a large portion of volumes population residing these informal settlements with substandard constructions that have been hit so hard by the side close. there often we are, you know, populated by people from the neighboring morris who is desperate to return to what was their ancestral homes. and despite my god, so states as a french overseas department for the last 13 years, there's been chronic under investments in, in really essential infrastructure. these are include housing of the waters incline

. so and public facilities and my up was wrapped thing before with a severe droughts and leading to watts or rushing before all this happens of the scale of disaster and the existing infrared structural weaknesses are posing significant challenges to 2 effects of really important to make my yields more resilience of filings agendas. danielle brown, the thank you very much, daniel. thank you. this. i'm back here in germany. it's all sort of shows us facing a vote of confidence in his government. one that he's widely expected to lose. if that happens, voters will go to the polls in a general election on february 23rd for just shy of 3 years. charles has had a tough time with the red, 3 ponti coalition. mad up office sent a lift, social democrats,

the environmentalist greens and the pro business f t p. it was never going to be easy, but few could have predicted just how bad it would get. the traffic light coalition is history and the stages set for small collections. but how did we get here? the government face challenges from the start fairly 2 months in russia's invasion of ukraine force to mass of, of a turn in german defense policy. yeah, i live in that site, we're living throughout walter, should you're the one that means that the world afterwards will no longer be the same as the world. as for the full energy policy needed to rethink, to after jeremy's reliance on russia, specifically for cheap gas was lead beer to the mix and economy disrupted by cooper 19 with the public deeply impacted by installation and the cost of living crisis. the lake was bleak and that's before the cracks began to show in the coalition. it

all came to a head when the ftp prevailed over the budget. late night crisis talks at the chancellor e lead to f t p 5 months minister christy and ledner getting the sack his lead me so this was forced into the decision in order to prevent damage to our country. we need a government capable of taking action as the power to make the right decisions for our country. press at the, the trust mission, so his loan don't play the economic concerns of damage of those these days and cut off shots are still calling into question the decisions needed for people to be proud of germany against on, on kind of this breakup had been in the works for quite a while, at least through a marriage to the ftp, had a paper relating just to be hoped to orchestra their coalition exit. now, with the election meeting begins in earnest, voters main concerns or the economy emigration amid a rise and support for the far right and populace parties. when disabilities

schultz will be on the ballot again, as chancellor candidate called on his heels, the man most likely to get his job. the old position conservatively dark, cedric mats, a busy winter of campaigning lives ahead with just a few weeks for the candidates to meet their case. o. c, w, as political correspondent to this identity joins me now and do that. walk us through the time table for today's events in germany's parliament. so yeah, so the session in the bonus tag, germany's parliament is going to start at 1 pm german time. and we expect to then chancellor shows to deliver a speech which should last around 25 minutes where he's going to explain why he's called for this vote of confidence and probably look back in some salient moments of his government. then there will be a debate in the german parliament at the end of which after probably a couple of hours and members of parliament are going to vote for this vote of

confidence which the government is expected to lose. especially since we've heard from the green party, the only remaining a cool listen partner of all of choices. social democrats that. c it is a party called on its members to abstain in this vote, just to make sure that a accidentally, the government does not get a, you know enough votes at the supported in this confidence vote. and that actually the government now will lose the confidence vote. it will be, it will be or if the play the follow riots upon to you that is a pretty strong and the board has done well. uh, the reason also why the greens have said they're going to abstain in the vote of confidence is because there was some concern that some members of the a if the might play a trick on the shows is remaining allies and actually vote in favor of the government in this vote of confidence, and this is something that's all parties involved a want to avoid. it would send

a very bad signal. if a government made up of the social democrats in the green were actually to stay in power because of the, the voted in favor of it. so this is something that all parties want to avoid. and everyone seems to really want to go to a new elections now will sound so. so it's minority governments still be able to pass any legislation between now and the dissolution of the book to stop as well. that is going to be a tricky endeavor. we've seen that a former, a coalition partners, the social democrats, the greens and the f d. p, have agreed on some measures that they're going to vote for and the proven the parliament in that case. they would have a majority looking at tax cuts for example. but in any case, in any individual law, the remaining, the government parties that are now in the minority, will have to look for partners among other parties to approve individual laws. so

that is going to be tricky. but we've heard also from the spokesman of all of shots uh recently that the confirmation that the government is going to stay in charge as the caretaker government. it still has the ability to govern. in fact, we'll see the chancellor shots traveling to brussels this week for a new summit with a western balkan states. so there it the germany is not a government less country right now. as things will still continue with a care taker, government, and some laws can still be approved in the parliament. so don't you will have a government, but it will be pretty much a lame duck government and a times of international law people will believe c o p. and then of the international partners be able to rely on germany briefly if you can as well. we have seen some concern coming from partners within europe, that germany might not be able to take those important decisions that might be

needed. for example, in further funding supports for ukraine and other big international issues that might arise. for example, with donald trump coming into the government soon in the united states. but this is something that we see often in other european countries that there are government crises. and there are changes in governments much more frequently. so i think in general there is no big risk that germany is not going to be able to play a role and actually still influence european politics is physical corresponded julia solidarity that. thank you very much, julia and to syria. now israel's military has carried out hundreds of s strikes since the collapse of the assad regime last week for this very 5 by the reuters news agency shows a new explosion early on monday. and the coastal region of talk to the syrian of secretary for human rights as the israeli military,

a tech ad defenses and missile storage sites that the region is also home to russia's only naval base in the mediterranean. we cannot cross live to a correspondent in jerusalem, tanya exam. uh tonya. uh what, what do we know about these reported strikes to well, this appears to be one of the latest strikes by the is rarely military here. be understand that these were unusually powerful strikes in the air. it's reported here in the media that they might have struck at defends and surface to surface mississauga weapon storage is there. this is part of a very large military campaign by israel, that the scene since the full of the a saw received by last week of the is really military headset. they're striking uh, you know, a targets such as air fuse onto aircraft, a weapons,

weapon storage is production. a saw its and be seen that in the positive was always the targets were broken, transfers to the iranian proxy. the lebanese administer has full out or it was twice against what is what i just kept as yvonne in, in trench meant in syria. right now, they have described this military campaign that goes through out the syria in the past a week or so. as you know, preventing those weapons in any of the military infrastructure from the side regime from falling into hostile hands as it was described to you know, the she is scale of the strikes has being conducted by a many regional powers here in the region. it also comes uh, when is ro has been moving into a syrian positions in the so close buffer zone that was established by the 9074.

this engagement agreement between syria and israel. they also moved into a syrian position on mount. how mon, so all this has been criticized because it's in violation of this agreement an off international role here. but so far is what has been undeterred. that has been saying this is because they don't know what the next governor, the receiver looks like a, in a syria. and we also heard from prime minister benjamin netanyahu over the weekend . he said, and nicole that you had with president elect donald trump, that there's a need to complete as well as victory. there's a lot of tool k o as in victor and, and is there a what that might mean? and whether this could also imply that now with the events proxy is weakened in the region that is run might go for a pre emptive strike as it's described to you against iran,

nuclear sites on the time of the reporting from jerusalem. thank you, tonya. we can now go to the mass coast where i was special corresponding to abraham is standing by. what more do we know about these latest attacks as well? we have not heard any contribution from the syrian side regarding visa text, but remember, this will be by no means the 1st a strike by is 3 a on syria and military assets since the fall of the assad regime a little over a week ago in terms of the reactions among people here on the street. this is of course being seen very negatively. i'll just give you a little anecdote of, from people that i was speaking to yesterday here on the streets of damascus. one woman told me, you know, when the assad regime was in charge when they were in power, we didn't really care when his release started assets, or what have you. but now this is the property of the syrian people,

these assets. and you know, that's where our money had been going for the, for the past years and years and years. and we want to be able to have something, some kind of set assets in this country. this now belongs to the syrian people. so of course, with this new sense of belonging among the syrians, a new sense of ownership of their country that has come after the collapse of the assad regime. there's a lot of anger towards the israel for basically what have been non stop strikes on syrian assets since the fall of the regime. so there's a lot of anger on the streets here in damascus towards israel and its actions in the country of a vanguard. the streets, the but what else it is the the mood like where you are there in damascus. a pretty or for it? i would say, i mean we're a little bit over a week into the fall of, of the regime. and there's definitely a sense of normalcy that is returning to the streets yesterday. schools

universities opened, but definitely there is a lot more freedom for the students that have been returned when we saw a protest celebratory protests, a stage by many university students in which they took down more of a set bush. right. and i said, of got used. we're seeing inflation go down, so prices for syrians, for, you know, normal goods or have been going down every day. but that because the serial the local syrian currency is now performing better towards the dollar, but also subsidies on fuels have been lifted. so transportation costs and so on might have gone up, but certainly there's still even a week into it essentially for you, for you to spite the fact that the future still looks very, very unclear. beach. the interim government has not given any details as to what the future looks like. there been a lot of statements made about, you know, a very comforting statements made about governments being

a new government being inclusive of all syrians. but so far, no details yet at the same time, the fort celebratory mood is something that you feel everywhere here in damascus. it's really quite overwhelming. production special course on it, a brand very thoughts and from the sewer in capsule damascus. thank you. that's have a quick look now at some of the headlines from around the world, medical workers in gaza say at least 16 people including women and children, were killed. and. and is there any strike on a shelter for this place? people in new service con, causes civil defense agencies that is really strikes on sunday, killed dozens of people across the street, including the nose is 0, gentlest and sweet. rescue what it is rather as to close its embassy, an island say the irish government maintains extreme anti israel policies. dublin
