going to grow up in the country. that thing says no racism, but they're more likely to end up in the criminal justice system than their other fellow friends in daycare i speaking to you now just in front of a bridge that was under construction at the time local to telling me that well, construction equipment that was on that bridge was swept away as if it was nothing . devastating flooding in germany and belgium with over a 100 dead as entire houses are swept away in a once in a generation de lu, over a 1000 people are still missing. it looks as if a bomb has like more rec, streets and looted stores. south africa sees another night, a violent riot. we spoke to a woman who amid the chaos, through her child from a burning building to a crowd of bystanders. joe, joe,

joe and i was waiting for them to come together then asked to that. they've been out there and they can always be no going to many was always holding my hair like those as arms locals deploy roadblocks to defend their neighborhoods. we follow a police operation to catch suspected looters and returned stolen, good walking towards a house where they had recently conducted an operation type. what do you have in your hand flow that that was stolen and the same vaccine, but different brights. we speak to a traveler left confused and frustrated. after being denied entry to france, despite being unoccupied, aided with astrazeneca as his job was not produced in b u, but in india. ah,

o 3 pm here in the russian capital and your watching r t international. i'm your host donald quarter. welcome to the program. raging floods have killed over 100 people in western germany and belgium. after 2 months worth of rain fell in just a few hours. berlin has given local military units the authority to help in the rescue effort, as streets have turned into rivers with houses, cars and even bridges completely swept away. ah, in 15 minutes are flat, our office, our neighbors houses. everything was under water. it was very quick. ah, it's amazing. i've been a fireman for 50 years, but i've never seen anything like it. the cars were flying

ah, what it looks as if a bomb has hit like world war. a state of emergency has been declared across western germany with people advise to stay home and avoid high water rescue workers found several people who had drowned in their own basements. in the meantime, helicopters are trying to evacuate any survivors from rooftop. our european corresponded peter oliver's in the region for us but necessarily here in hog in the reins over night that we're forecast didn't turn out to be that heavy. and we, we haven't seen any further rain falling on these already swollen rivers and lakes and already solving grounds. so far on friday, on thursday though, where i'm speaking to you from. so a $120.00 high watermark reached in just a few hours after water. the rainfall came down and swept away large amounts of,

of well everything that was by the sides of the rivers. i'm speaking to you now just in front of a bridge that was under construction at the time local to telling me that the construction equipment that was on that bridge was swept away as if it was nothing the work of trying to shoot without construction up. and making sure that if there is any further swells in the river here, that no more damage can be done. the key, that's the, the physical called the, the material cost put unfortunately, and tragically, the human cost of this natural disaster is still well. well beyond being counted, what we understand is a number of people are still counted as missing. in fact, in one area of the face of ryan on to lawson at the local authorities sweeping out that 1300 people were counted as missing as far as they're concerned. that may well be down to where all the hoping that's down to is the fact that the

telecommunications that work in a lot of areas aren't functioning properly. people are able to get in touch with one another. however, tragically, in that particular talent of, via that we did get news on a that 9 bodies are being found in a home for disabled people. refuse had gone to the home to try and rescue those people that were in that facility. however, it's the fee and the ferocity at which was his rows, that is really cause so many problems in court. so many people off guard as well as the fortunately the number of dead continue to rise in both the rhineland politeness and here in the state of north run with folly where and speaking to you from the idea of the war is coming in so quickly was also repeated in the town of shows, which is just down me down the river from the sound of phyla people there told us what it was like when that water solid rice. i haven't experienced that before. what came here?

it happened so fast. we couldn't look as fast as the water came. it was really bad at 1st. we laughed at it wouldn't be so bad, but then it got really bad. there was more and more and more water. then we were told that we had to leave the house. 5 seen footage from the air of the scale of the destruction you're looking at rivers that have 1st banks and floated kilometers away from their usual boundaries. people's homes well and truly floated away in the town of hoggard, where i'm talking to you from the authorities were saying last night. make sure you can, if you can, to sleep on the higher floors of the houses to remain there. also not to drink the drinking water. because while the flood water from the river has overfilled into the found was to supply me to cologne. not too far away in the same state, a number of houses were washed away overnight. several others also in a state of being partially washed away. well the authorities doing their best along

. busy with locals to try and make sure that they can put anything they can in place to make sure that they are the next one to be washed away when it comes to rescuing people in the color region. rescue is having to use both is the only way to get down street to do that. also in one area, a gas leak that can be turned off is also making things in credibly more dangerous . not just for those in need of rescuing, but also for the rescue if you are having to go in to do that look, needed an incredibly dangerous job. the german army has also been drafted in it's been on the scene for well over 24 hours now is and trying to help coordinate those rescue efforts. both the damage is financially wise. that's obviously not the main concern at the moment, but down the line that will be running into the hundreds and hundreds of millions of euro. if not more than not, i think it almost certainly it will be more than that. but if the human cost at the moment that we're still struggling to try and get

a real fix on just how high that may be, it is already incredibly high with a large number of people losing that lives in western germany. also in belgium, of the areas affected by the floods as well in the netherlands in front, on the luxembourg as well. this is really a tragedy. they crossed all of those borders to be keeping an eye on all of the updates that come out of the picture. part of western journey throughout the day, any new information i'll bring it to south africa has been seeing its worst violence in decades, submit writing and looting that have are opted after the jailing of the ex president, at least 100. 17 people have been confirmed dead, and in the middle of the riots in the city of durban, there was a dramatic incident involving a small child that was miraculously saved a warning. you might find these images disturbing as flames in gulf her block of flats, a desperate mother threw her daughter to the crowd of bystanders. below on the

street, they were seen cheering as the, as the toddler was caught satan's safe and sound. the mother described to us how terrified she wasn't that moment. melissa is doing what i can say. yeah. just so shocked because she always remind me of what i did to her leg when she said that moving alterations i was pointing though, that's my mom. you drew me down. you drew me. whatever news, flash or spending, we only smell smoke from the 16th floor and the lady from the recession, she was going floors was telling us to come down. we reach, i think the 2nd floor, we're not sure because we are outside of the plant. so when they were trained cuz people from the street, those standing in the sleeve, both ministry, they were trying to help us taking the lessons for us to go to the latest. so when i was there, there was the other big lady said she can carry the baby from you. so i think the

face down face, she didn't give me to be me so i can come out because the only thing i wanted was a baby to be out today. fears a said no, i'm going to go fast enough. so you're going to go, you're going to give me a baby when i'm down after she got into the sales the stairs fall in with her. there was people trying to help and now there was no any other way to come. i was stuck and he was little fussy, there was a lady behind me. i saw that. can you tell me the baby's gonna carry the baby for me? so i'm going to go down, didn't up down down. you can give that babies who me control the baby. so are you stay for the babies? for me, the baby is crying and no, no, never mind new crying, just solid to me. i came flooding up the kitchen, people is gleaming. so i go and i was relieved because i can see people in the trade lot, but i didn't even know those people, but i so they'd be willing to help us that it made me pause and see that so exclaimed color joe saw and i was waiting for them to come together, then after that they've been our k

b b when they can see ocean. they know it's going to my niece because i was holding my hair like likely they called shading me. directed me go this, they go this way. they took me down the, the, they were catching me also. everyone saying your, your, your brave, brave with riders, rating stores and warehouses, many have been killed and stamp heeds if such location. there are an estimated $800.00 shops destroyed, and locals are now cleaning up the wreckage. and john is for gar, correspondent, paul asleep tags along with the police as they hunted down and suspected lewters. i mean, an exact township in south africa where the police and community deed is undergoing a nighttime operation, trying to recover some of the stolen goods that were ransacked by people over the last few days. so we walking towards a house where they have recently conducted an operation. hi. what do you have in your hand? flour, some stuff that was stolen. have you noticed of them?

no, we've got people and who lives here? it's somebody inside the building. okay, let's go inside and see who's been doing the stealing. so we're just walking through people's homes here in alexandra township. it's often local people who are coming forward to the police and to community leaders and telling them that the neighbors have got stuff that they didn't have the day before. and that's how the police is getting to pulse as to who conducted the ransacking over the past. few days, so he'll be entering someone's home who's been stealing stuff. so what he says, and there is a dwarf and the titles and the other stuff as you see the in the cuff, that goes and just wanted to take it, sticking with it. there's a suspect. how do you know what stock has stolen and what stuff belongs to the family? in this case, they told us good to whatever is in here. it is to lead to his friend a product and, and some of the things have been taken away to be sold. i don't know where he

hasn't told us yet. where are you taking him to the house? what happens to him? now, why do i say here? the community men months, see the people of alexander, they must come and stand up and make sure we're taking the door to door, taking that to the people that they have to come and claim their properties. because now we don't have a pen more within our nice shops, use it to us because we did hear people just walk. what minutes are we getting something to come and fix up you 1000? whatever the chances are that it's one of the neighbors that reported the young man he has been covering his place and he doesn't want to talk to us. i'm looking to find a neighbor that will talk to us. he had some more goods that the police are taking with him that have been confiscated. so the police are loading what they've managed

to take from this house and among the stolen goods are a number of doors, a system and a bottle of pain. all of them went out at the police headquarters way. they are unloading some of the stolen goods that they've managed to recover. how many places were you able to go to tonight and how much stuff were you able to recover? because they have a cover lot of stuff and then we go 7 places. and then the, i think, to model for the one who's giving you the information as to who the and where these related stuff in the community of the day giving us the information,

the owners of alex. because now they're sick and tired of what, what is the opinion? and they see this is on the i'm here with the main police station in alexandra. the suspect has been full care and is being held in one of the sell a short time ago. there was no electricity in this and the police are working with the light from a cell phone. it gives you a kind of idea of the circumstances and the challenges that face the police in south africa as they tried to deal with the current state on violence policy. a r t . alexandra. it doesn't only matter what vaccine you've had, but you should also consider where it was made, at least if you want to visit france. if you were given a you approved shop like astrazeneca, and it was produced in europe, then you're good to go. but if you were inoculated with the identical drug made in india, when it's where it's known as covey shields, then you'll be denied entry. that's left would be travelers. confused and

frustrated. i think the risk shorts is clearly defined. vaccine is absolutely identical despite the fact it was manufactured india. the confusion is that we'll choose to travel, evidently on travel a lot with my work. and the problem is, despite the chest certificate, the telephone application suggests the vaccine is of a certain type. obviously the numbers suggest differently, we can not find any clear information on whether or not we can travel. because if i sign up a port or an add port to this day, i do not know whether i'll be allowed to leave the u. k. or when i get to my destination, get checked, will i be allowed to continue? my job. i, you, regulators have explained that koby shield is not on its list as astrazeneca has not provided enough data about the manufacturing process in india. however, even those who have had an m a approved shot can face difficulties once in france,

where they still need a help pass to access certain public places. these include restaurants and shopping centers, as well as long distance bus and train to get the pass. you need to be vaccinated and either have a negative p c r test or have recovered from covered recently. this system has led to st. protests in the country. and anti hill again says it adds an extra layer of complications that might just make a trip to france. too costly for sub seems to be some confusion around what the telephone and also the certificate size and such as the actual name that expand cold in the bus. just about them, but they don't match the name in the batch number doesn't match what people are saying. so they saying commercials accepted bucks and there is some b as much co shield and that's what it said on the certificate. this confusion and complication bear. i don't think the other thing is as well, you know, that could be some significant costs not to make the disappointment with my family . i'm not going thompson. get the last minute. non refundable tickets, etc,

etc. for the scientific breakdown communication, it's frankly ludicrous. it could be the end of the line for fossil fuel guzzling motors in the e. u. as the block unveils and ambitious roadmap to get the continent carbon neutral. got live reaction and analysis after the short break. ah ah ah ah ah,

me moving your body literally can strengthen. it's like your brain become kind of a muscle with movement. you're not just breaking your why so you try that. you are literally strengthening the connections. you're in fact in certain areas you're actually growing. stimulating the growth of brand new brain cell the the, the, the, ah, welcome back to the program. now europe is ditching fossil fuels. at least that's, it's intention under radical new e u plans. the block says it will stop the sale of petrol powered cars and go

carbon neutral all within the next decade. the overarching goal was and of course, is to make europe the very 1st climate neutral continent in the world. and to build a new growth strategy to get there. but going green will come at a cost, a new tax on certain goods coming into the you will be used to support local firms to make the switch to cleaner energy. we discussed how realistic the blocks ambitions are with british former politician paul andrew nettle planning to co 51 percent of carbon emissions in 9 years is completely realistic. it's not going to work concert, especially considering that they already tried to sense of carbon emissions between 19912000. and 19 terrorists will inevitably have to be raised because it will make it more expensive for economies outside the union.

so important you goats and that will trigger a ton of war. and if you end up in a terrible say russia or china or united states that it will never totally mean job losses across the european union. it is dark green taxes always affect poor people . more than they affect rich people, they make poor people poor. so what you will see is you will see petrol prices go up. diesel prices go of energy prices for consumers. so people will believe the ends have to choose between eating and heating. some of the colombian suspected of taking part in the assassination of hades president previously received u. s. military training. that's according to the pentagon, several suspects also had been foreman's for the u. s. drug enforcement agency review for training databases indicates that a small number of the co been individuals detained as part of the investigation had participated in past us military training and education programs. while serving as

active members of the columbia military forces, patient president was murdered in his home on july 7th, and so far around 20 suspects have been detained. some of whom have links to u. s. military training programs. the pentagon stress that such trainees are committed to human rights and the rule of law. brian con cannon, head of the institute for justice and democracy in haiti told us that washington did all but pull the trigger. even if the student wasn't involved in the assassination itself, the u. s. was deeply involved in creating the conditions that allow this assassination to happen, notably as support for, for the ph d party. and so what they are asking is that the us stop propping up a dictatorship and hating that. the us stop talking about sending soldiers. they don't want us soldiers, people who are associated with the da have been involved in crimes. and there's also been

a history of the agents themselves being involved in drug trafficking and other crime in most human rights groups. a long time ago decided that, that actually instituting controls was unrealistic. and have been calling for for just deep, just stopping this kind of training, but they continue some of these programs and i think you are continuing to see people who are trained, they're using those skills to commit human rights violations. the kremlin has brushed off a new article by the british newspaper, the guardian, which claims donald trump's victory and the 2016 presidential election was a plot by vladimir putin. r t senior correspondent moore at desi has the details. let me sum up this astounding exclusive. so it appears to show what seems to represented is assessed to be a suggestion that is understood to appear consistent with report. i don't remember

reading an article less sure of itself that this what the guardian seem to be washing its hands of all legal responsibility as it published this. and for good reason. russia's 3 spite agencies were ordered to find practical ways to support trump. in a decree appearing to bear put in signature, naturally, we don't see the decrease. of course we get from the guardian is to very strange, the formatted screenshots that read like a criminal critics daydream. they propose to prove everything that russia has been accused of for years. and then sub on top, which is perhaps why putin spokesperson believes that the guardian may be trying to reverse declining readership fullness. and this is a complete fiction, as we say, russian complete nonsense. of course it's the continuation of the low quality publications. either the newspapers trying to increase the popularity or it

continues it's rampant rotherford because schools will this is not and cannot be true. it is, in fact a light. this is a continuation of practicing totaled immunization of russia and hoops in which the guardian sometimes like to do or to the desperate attempt to attract and you read it by publishing such prob, story. those. let us entertain the notion that this document which is convenient, impossible to verify, may have a shred of truth. so the russians apparently decided to support trump before he had even the republican primary to through all this support behind him. brazenly in the showing that any season politician will tell you would be a stupid thing to do. why would they put eggs in one, apparently crazy basket and there is also apparent confirmation that the criminal possesses compromise or a potentially compromising material on the future. president collected the document says, from trump's earlier,

non official visit to russian federation territory. if only the f b, i hired people as gifted investigation as new carding, who co author this. he knew who has more of a hate relationship with russia, now has a reference to another debugging story that he pushed the steel dossier. remember the reports of trump, you were a nation parties in moscow, hotels convenient or the trump? we can leaks collusion. story that was also a loo causing exclusive on the guardian. i'm watching now as one journalist after the next spreads this lucas story. they have no idea if the documents are real. they know he's one of the west. most dishonest, reckless reporters, they don't care. the story health, their political agenda, that's all that matters. lou causing was once a correspondent in moscow who had a terrible time. he wrote a book about how much russia allegedly hated him about how russia secret agent to

see perhaps confused with goose, had nothing better to do than to sneak into his apartment. weakly, to open includes the windows of the steel, the removed control from his t. v. set the alarm clock, the 4 o'clock in the morning, the lead his screen savers and the course dedicated in his toilet, without flushing. that is all in his book. lots of people do believe what they've read in the newspaper village when a journalist and a newspaper are simply lying to the new cutting has a long history of producing unreliable store is he writes for a particular audience, he white nights, an empty russian audience and an anti chunk audience. so this man is a pharmacist, not a journalist, both housing. i'm the guardian, have a long history of promoting forged documents. you know, big claim, individual, independent experts have verified this document,

but they don't name these acts. who are these experts who say this is a genuine document? it to me is not what is claims to be. hi, will conclude with a comment i read today a response to the guardian article. it reads, it is helpful, whatever the guardian marks a story exclusive. it means the readers can exercise even more caution than usual. more details on your top news stories, you can always check out our website, r t dot com or follow up on your favorite social media platform. will be back with more in just about 30 minutes. so stay tuned ah, ah, ah

ah, ah ah, ah ah ah, ah, ah ah, ah, i will. the

when i see black america, i think of myself, and i was growing, you know, like america spoke to me when why destroyed you did not. you said black lives matter is a movement, we are importing from america. no, nothing. if we lived in a world where white lives mattered, and i was not why i like missing. and i wasn't new from black america. i learned how to speak back to one aboriginal people around them. now that the police were at war with statistics. i'm scared that my children are going to grow up in the country. that thing says no racism but.
