them swept away are to some bargain spoke to some of those who kept their lives but lost everything else. after the floods more. everywhere in the town of crims there is evidence of the force and spooned of the waters of bonds and it seems everyone here has their own personal drama to tell this used to be members living room this used to be her bedroom the house has been completely gutted from the inside by the water which came right up to the tops of the windows live mail and managed to escape and sat all night on a neighbor's fence while her house collapsed she was perhaps a lucky one though his neighbors say just down the road a neighbor an old woman had her house collapsed on top of the night perched on top of the neighbor's fence the flood surging around. the water had risen to more than

three meeting with i was sitting on the fence praying it wouldn't come higher because they 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 grabbed the curtain and pushed my feet through the window this can save my life the helicopter did not see me of what i started to wave my cane and it came back it couldn't land so it didn't pick me up after that or folks and i started to shout they save me for those left behind the basic necessities must now take priority. where looking through the rubble for our things wash them in this water and in their hours dry them the clothes that we're wearing now are actually all we have left as the wave struck we only thought about 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 outside the morgue all day yesterday but no news nothing many here are hungry and exhausted and have no homes to return to and need to start from scratch here i'm a veteran of the second world. everything is gone i don't have anything anymore how do i live or you know should i do now but i thank god on the life and with commemoration services being held across russia there are certain to be many more stories of personal tragedy i'm afraid. some. welcome arden's also sending updates on the situation at the scene of the disaster by his twitter feed and want to play out says that the bodies of flood victims are being kept in refrigerated supermarkets lorries dual lack of space and more terry's to follow his tweets at tom bart underscore r t. funerals will take place rob 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 manning are still in shock part is that as well as he reports on how they are coping. the flood affected almost every family and every household sold and crims just this morning with all groups of people talking about the damage still trying to find their neighbors and loved ones there was a sign on one of the houses we passed this morning that read i'm alive i'm at my brother's place there is a lack of local information since there is still no electricity in most neighborhoods with no radio or t.v. in town people share news by word of mouth we saw dozens of relatives visiting the town's morgue where they did the identification of bodies is still taking place those who were lucky to survive now face challenges this scale of destruction is enormous and people are taking matters into their own hands by starting to rebuild homes and apartments the russian emergency ministry deployed thousands of rescue

workers but there is so much more besides government's help there is a strong feeling of support coming from russia in a broad social networks twitter and facebook in particular are buzzing with information about donations for the victims of the current flood chewed up as a chat up with them 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 to me i got two emails he has today from people in brisbane and in chicago asking about the crims claude's calls for help go beyond traditional charities as volunteers among them private individuals from other cities travel to koreans bringing food water and clothes yesterday were met calls explained cross and or who brought several trucks of supplies. that is a lot of the reporting there now volunteers are resorting to a whole range of modern communication to aid those affected by the floods activists from across russia have started drawing an online map to coordinate the efforts of

all those willing to help anyone willing to donate food or clothes can find the nearest spot to do that or create a place of their own and let others know the resources especially useful when it comes to transportation as delivering aid to the food stricken areas is a major problem right now while with the help of the map people going to crimps can inform others about their plans and take more aid or volunteers with them so find out more at r.t. dot com.

from the. dot com. syria's president says countries like the us saudi arabia qatar and turkey are hindering peace in his country by supporting those he calls terrorists by sharia law said accused washington of being partially responsible for the deaths of innocent civilians by partnering with the rebels the syrian army has started a large scale drills simulating the fans against outside attacks some oppositional years previously appealed to the west for foreign intervention against the regime as wary of an auction or reports from syria manny in the country are fearing for their lives in the rebel forces get what they want. since the uprising in syria

escalated the west has been consistently calling on assad and his government to step down you know defectively want to give the nod to the demands of the armed opposition but it seems so far there is no clear understanding of who exactly they are. these fighters of the syrian opposition they're brave determined full of pride they took the fate in their hands. but for some taken control of their destiny meant taken up arms in this amateur video posted on you tube which cannot be independently verified gunmen calling themselves members of the opposition militia from explain why this man was hanged and which he helped the syrian regime and it was killing the rebels they say i am. on behalf of all fronts let me express my admiration by the bravery. but this

kind of justice only adds more anger to what has already been called a civil war. with the terrorists currently those murderers and i believe is necessary for them to leave us. we cannot ask the opposition to unilaterally give up their. our struggle for justice dignity and self-determination in other media whose origin is hard to establish these men say they captured the syrian air force officer then they dispense even more rough justice. the united states will continue providing non-lethal assistance to help those inside syria who are carrying the fight to organize and better communicate. the trend of march in this media are the voice

behind the camera says the fight must go on it warns this will happen to anyone who copy race with the assad government. they are top criminals these people are top of criminality how do they have the right what you'll see and when you find your country destroyed to move our country we've been building our lives. the whole world wants to see a political transition from this illegitimate regime seem to actually see one that can take care of its people many however fear that should such people force assad to leave since like these could become a familiar occurrence and have little faith in a western force democracy. where they're talking about democracy in the gulf or in other countries we are syrian people we should decide these things ourselves. this mantra that the syrian people alone should determine their country's future has been repeated by many nations and has finally been recognized by major world powers

but with some states continuing to call on assad to leave and supporting his opponents fears mountie in syria that it's the people that will pay the ultimate price. from damascus in syria. well you can see the timeline of the turmoil in syria online available twenty four seventh's we've got the latest updates on the syrian files secret documents recently released by wiki leaks also called the anonymous group says it's teamed up with a most famous whistle blowing web site and have to work two million e-mails on syria. plot and over heated debate on a syria in jordan a member of parliament starts a five throwing a shoe and then polling it gone all during a live t.v. discussion.
