holds a military exercise an outward talent attack from the outside. and in the business bulletin there are positive former business partner trying to fight the billionaire in london's high court all the details in about twenty minutes. it is ten am in the russian capital you're watching r t welcome to the program russia is mourning more than one hundred seventy lives lost in devastating floods in the southern resort region of cross nadar over five thousand houses were hit one of seven meter wave caused by torrential rains hit the area on friday night many of them swept away artist on bargain joins us now from the region well tom many people have lost their loved ones and on top of that there are

a lot of challenges they have to overcome to rebuild their lives so how are they coping. at the moment in the town of crims this is a day of grief a day of mourning a day for people to try to come to terms with the tragedy that swept through their town in the middle of the night and took so many lives people in this town are still trying to get to grips with the enormity of that tragedy when the floodwaters came with so little warning people are out in the streets as they were yesterday in the southern russian town of crimson and in other places affected by the flash flooding they're there to try and start and carry on with the cleanup efforts there to talk to neighbors and friends and share so many of the terrifying stories of those terrible hours when so little could be done to stop this wave of water that came through the town stories like those of an old lady we spoke to yesterday she

only realized that the flood had arrived when her dog which was tied up outside her house started barking and she she tried to get out of bed and realized that there was water everywhere and it was rapidly rising she did all she could to try and save her two dogs and her six cats some of her animals didn't survive but she managed to get them out somehow by climbing out through a window that is just one of the lesser examples of the choices and the difficulties faced by people with so little time and so much at stake today you can see many sorry sites around the around the town of crims for a start the rubble the cars in the ditches and pushed up against trees houses smashed to smithereens by the water and then also beyond that the difficulties that people face when they have to come to terms with the human loss that came in those

terrible hours the morgue in the city. much of the city without electricity. without gas without gas power without connections to landline telephone is having to rely on generators and that means that many of the bodies that are still being found around the city the search is still going on for people trapped there having to be put into refrigerated lorries because there is no power for the fridge is in the in the morgue in the town and then they're being moved to ambulances and later today the main food the main body of the funerals for the victims of these floods will begin and that will be really a moment of outpouring of grief and a lot of these people who have lost so much. there's feelings of exhaustion here people a lot of them don't have anywhere to sleep their houses of gone and they are trying to make do is the best they can they're hungry and they're also angry as well as to

why there was so little warning that amir putin has started an inquiry into why there was so little warning and what could have been done to try and protect this town and people here want answers to but for today the overriding emotion is that of grief there are many feelings on the streets determination anger solidarity despair but chief among them is grief for the dead. after the flood a country mourns. everywhere in the town of crims there is evidence of the force and speed of the waters of bands and it seems everyone here has their own personal drama to tell this has to be living room this used to be a bedroom the house has been completely gutted from the inside by the router which came right up to the tops of the windows with miller managed to escape and sat

right on a neighbor's fence where house collapsed she was perhaps. his neighbor say just down the road a neighbor an everyman had her house collapsed on top of the night perched on top of the neighbor's fence the flood surging around. the water has risen to more than three metres i was sitting on the fence praying it wouldn't come higher because i knew i would have drowned most of those who died were elderly too frail to escape the deluge those who did manage to make it to safety say they will never forget what happened i grab the curtain and push my feet through the window this can save my life the helicopter did not see me at first but i started to wave my cane and it came back it couldn't land so it didn't pick me up after that a boat came and i started to shout they save me for those left behind the basic necessities must now take priority well looking through the rubble for all things

washed them in this water and of their hours dried them and the clothes that we are where we now are actually own would have left as the wave struck we only thought of our children and our lives since the beginning of this tragedy the death toll has climbed steadily and even now not everyone has been accounted for our ten year old nieces lost who were standing next to the morgue all day yesterday and no news nothing but many here are hungry and exhausted and have no homes to return to and need to start from scratch or sure i'm a veteran of the. second world war two is a everything is gone i don't have anything anymore how do i live more you know should i do now but i thank god on alive and with commemoration services being held across russia there are certain to be many more stories of personal tragedy and bravery tomas and r.t. heroes will continue throughout monday while the number of dead could rise as

emergency teams continue to search through the destruction over twenty four thousand people have been affected by the flash floods and many are still in shock artist and block to reports on how they are coping. the flood affected almost every family in every household and chremes those who were lucky to survive now faced off tell inches there is a strong feeling of support coming from russian abroad social networks twitter and facebook in particular are buzzing with information about donations for the victims of the crimes floods the scale of destruction is enormous and people are taking matters into their own hands by starting to rebuild homes and apartments and christina moving to their relatives in just a couple of weeks christina is expecting their second child still she decided to help her husband find their lost belongings or the thought of packing all the children's clothes we're expecting a girl or a second she might need them a couple of blocks away other survivors of the crims claude are receiving

humanitarian aid local volunteers bring fresh supplies throughout the day get up as a child out of what i read people's pleas for help on an internet forum and we rushed here my son and i as soon as we could to at least bring some much needed food for them to move as water supplies have not been fully restored authorities have also started distributing bottled water firefighters have joined other rescue services they are also helping pump water out of people's yards and basements meanwhile thousands of collection centers have been set up across russia with people donating money clothes and food emergency ministry crews from all over the country are working in the cream's canal a right behind me you can see their camp there providing support with specialist equipment but as thousands of households are affected in the city alone they are under pressure to reach everyone while the government has pledged millions of dollars in financial aid as well as to rebuild the destroyed houses before winter many have already started cleaning up and fixing things themselves throughout the

town authorities are also deploying mobile generators to help people return to normal life as soon as possible even though the town has been badly hit at blue. like the people of chremes lost hope and against all odds they're staying and helping each other to rebuild their homes and their lives. across the region now chris one's from new york's pace university says the flooding could be a consequence of a lack of planning when developing mountain areas if you have a month's worth of rain falling in a few hours and then on top of that you do forest the hills of the mountains along that feed the water down into the coastal plain and you make a disaster of this type more or less inevitable at some point i mean i think the you need a lot more planning and thought put into what was going on in the mountains above the coastal plains particularly with deforestation because trees in particular we know hold the hold in the soil and prevented. flooding down becoming saturated much

more quickly and. exacerbates the potential for. flash floods which is what we are tragically seeing now so i think in its planning in that respect i think also if you concrete over large areas with houses parking lots roads etc then you take away from the sort of ability to hold in all kinds of ways both in the mountains and on the plains while responding to the scene of the disaster are keeping you updated on what's going on via their twitter feed so don't forget to get. tweets at underscore our of course we'll keep you updated here as well. if we need to.
