9:04 am
just in front of a bridge that was under construction at the time local to telling me that well, construction equipment that was all not bridge was swept away as if it was nothing . that's the, the physical cost, the, the material costs. unfortunately and tragically, the human cost of the 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 and her last and 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 works in a lot of areas on functioning properly. people aren't able to get in touch with one another. however, tragically in that particular town of viola that we did get news on thursday evening that 9 bodies had been found in
9:05 am
a home for the fabled people. it's the theme and the ferocity at which was his rows . that is really cause so many problems and caught so many people off guard. 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 scene footage from the end of the scale of the destruction. you're looking at rivers that have 1st banks and floated kilometers away from their usual foundries 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
9:06 am
the towns was to supply near 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 when it comes to rescuing people in the cologne region. rescues, having to use both is the only way to get downstream to do thus. 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 is you are having to go in to do that and look needed an incredibly dangerous job. the german army has also being drafted in 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 it's the human cost at
9:07 am
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 for people losing their lives in western germany also in belgium, of the areas affected by the floods as well in the netherlands in, in france on the luxembourg as well. it is really a tragedy that crossed all of those board is to be keeping an eye on all of the updates that come out of this particular part of western journey throughout the day . any new information i'll bring it to you. south africa was witnessing its worst violence in decades with riots and looting, rubbing after the jailing of the former president. no more than 110 people had been confirmed dead. and in the middle of, of the writing in the city of durban, a terrifying incident involving a small child and had safely a warning. you might find these images disturbing. as flames in golf, her block of flats, a desperate mother threw her daughter to
9:08 am
a crowd of bystanders on the street below to save her, they were then seen cheering. as the toddler was caught safe and sound, the mother described to us how afraid she was in that very moment. miller says, doing what i can say. yes, she was so shocked because she always remind me of what i did for her. when she said that moving also she was pointing to my mom, you drew me down, you to me, whatever news the flex 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 read something in the 2nd floor, we're not sure because we're outside of the plant. so when they were playing for the people from the 3, those standing in the sleeve by mitre, they were trying to help us taking the lasers for us to go to the latest. so when i was there, there was the other big lady said she can carry that baby for me. so i think the
9:09 am
face, down face outpatient. been to give me to be me so i can come out because the only thing i wanted was my baby to be out. she refused to said no, i'm going to go fast enough. so you're going to get accumulate a who and i'm down after she got into the sale of the stairs fold in with her. and it was people are trying to help. and now there was no any other way for us who was stuck and he was little fussy, there was a lady behind me. i want it. can you please tell me the baby is going to be going to be before me? so i'm going to go down, didn't up down, down, you can give the baby to me control the baby. so need a saw. are you stay to the babies for me? the baby is crying. i thought no, no, never mind new crime, just solid to me. i came flooding up the kitchen, people is gleaming sola, paula go. and i was like, well as relieved because i can see people, they drink a lot, but i didn't even know those people. but i saw a they willing to help us, that it made me pause and see that. so if we color joe law and i was waiting for them to come together,
9:10 am
then after to the baby and now escape the big when they can see ocean. they know it's going to me nice because i was holding my head like the likely they called shading me, directed me go this way, go this way. they took me down to the, catching me also. and everyone i was saying, you, you, you are brave, brave with writers rating stores and warehouses. many have been killed in the stampede. an estimated $800.00 shop already been destroyed and locals are now cleaning up the wreckage. johannesburg are corresponding policy clear, tagged along with police as they hunted down suspected looters. i mean, an exam to township in south africa where the police and community leaders are undergoing a nighttime operation, trying to recover some of the stolen goods that were ransacked by people over the last few days. so walking towards a house way, they have recently conducted an operation high. what do you have in your hand? slower and stuff that was stolen. you have you know, it was stolen. now we've got
9:11 am
a deeper and who lives here. if somebody inside it's been said, 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 ran 2nd over the past few days. so here we entering someone's home who's been stealing stuff. what is there? 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 your thinking with. there's a suspect. how do you know what stuff have stolen and what stuff belongs to the family? in this case, day i'm going to go to whatever is in here. it is still, it is friend, a prodigy and, and some of the things have been taken away to be sold. i don't know where he
9:12 am
hasn't told us yet. where are you taking him to this house? what happens to him now, why do i say his man? said the people of alexander, they must come and stand up and make sure we are taking the door to door, taking that to the people that they have to come and claim the properties. because now we don't have a pen more within my shops use. it was cash build, yet 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 face and he doesn't want to talk to us. i'm looking to find a neighbor 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
9:13 am
take from this house and among the stolen goods are a number of doors. and a bottle of pain was almost done. when 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 deleted stuff is coming in for alex bill. and they're giving us the information on
9:14 am
this computer of alex because now they're thinking about what is the opinion and they see this is on the i'm here with the main police station in alexandria. the suspect has for care and is being held in one of the short time ago. there was no electricity in this area and the police were 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 try to deal with the current state and violence policy. a r t, alexandra officials have urged the public not to take the law into their own hands even if their own businesses are under attack. but locals are still arming themselves and building roadblocks to keep looters out of their neighborhood. shopping center has been looted, then don't write down the moment you pitching in this conflict. yeah,
9:15 am
there's one for the favorite and this is the only place that now we're getting full truck or we just stood out there to protect our families over the last company been hectic. it's cause a lot of fear in the community. in general, obviously everyone is actually scared to leave the homes. and i live in this area which is not stay for the same vaccine but a different place of manufacture. that's the critical and bizarre problem for tourists to france, which is only letting in those with the you made astrazeneca, jap, not the identical indian manufactured version, and would be, travelers are confused. i think the risk shorts is clearly defined. vaccine is absolutely identical despite the fact it was manufactured in india. the confusion is well g to trouble, evidently trouble a lot with my work. and the problem is despite the chest certificate, the telephone application suggests the vaccine or use of
9:16 am
a certain type. obviously the numbers suggest differently when he can not find any clear information on whether or not we can travel because if i sign up a port. ringback or an add port. so this day i do not know whether i'll be allowed to lease a u. k. or when i get to my destination, get checked. will i be allowed to continue? my job? i, you, regulator, is explained that the indian made version called covey shield is not on its list as astrazeneca has not given enough data to the manufacturing process there. over even those who have had an e. u approved shot face difficulties once in france where they still need health pass to go to public places. these include restaurants and shopping center, as well as long distance buses and trains. to get the pass, you need to be an oculus and either have a negative p c r test or have recovered from cova. recently, the system has sparked street protests. andy hill again says it adds extra complications that could make
9:17 am
a trip to france too costly for song seems to be some confusion around what the cell phone and also the certificate the size in terms of the actual name that explain cold in the case versus the batch number don't match the name and the best number doesn't match what people are saying. so they saying, you know, cover shields accepted bucks of error is this batch numbers match 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 so much. the disappointment with my family. i'm not going thompson. get the last minute. non refundable tickets, etc, etc. you know, for the sake of a breakdown in communication, it's frankly moving across from negligence to straight up mistakes. a u. s. justice department watchdog says the f b. i failed to properly investigate the case of a u. s. gymnastics doctor was later jailed for child molestation. will bring this story edmore after a short break. the
9:18 am
moving your body literally can strengthen. it's like your brain become kind of a muscle with movement. you're not just drinking your why stuff. you try. you are literally strengthening the connections. you're in fact, in certain areas you're actually growing stimulating the growth of brand new brain cells. ah, they cannot. they are to say that a nor leticia or under work. can you been there to say that to people? oh, we have to reduce the consumption. this is why so far the consumption issue did not was not taken up pretty seriously. so or but it's a very serious issue. so we cannot address the climate change issue. unless the
9:19 am
people around the word realize that we cannot continue overconsumption as we are doing now, the the, the news. ah, welcome back to the program. now the f. b, i failed to protect dozens of child gymnast by not responding earlier to allegations of abuse perpetrated by their teams. doctor, that's the charge of the u. s. department of justice, which says the bureau took more than a year just to launch a probe. yep. b, i has since acknowledged its handling as inexcusable, and the medic was eventually sentenced to hundreds of years in prison for molesting children artillio tranquil reports. it's an immensely ugly story
9:20 am
and a story that's already quite old. on the one hand, he stands accused is one of the most prolific child molesters in sporting history. some women of team usa gymnastics, say they were forced to endure psychological and physical abuse in the name of olympic glory from young women lining up to face their former doctor in this high profile case that is rocking the world in gymnastics, a judge in michigan had slapped a very long sentence on the former sports doctor. the fact that larry nasser will never walk out of prison alive, thanks do. the length of his sentence may reassure more than 200 of his victims. that justice has been served. indeed, that how many girls and women, if the more he molested during his doctor's career under the guise of giving medical treatment, but the older the story gets the more ugly details about others involved in this
9:21 am
disgraceful scandal emerge. the man who once was larry nasser, his boss, is now facing criminal sexual charges himself. former michigan state gymnastics coach, cathy clay just learned. she's headed to jail for line to police in the ness. our investigation, who knew that in july 2021, i'll be reporting on another bombshell. a u. s. department of justice probe has found for more than the year after receiving the 1st complaint. the f. b. i pretty much did nothing to deal with the sex abuse claims against dr. nasser. just by the extraordinarily serious nature of the allegations and the possibility that nasa conduct could be continuing senior officials in the indianapolis field office failed to respond to the nestor allegations would be my seriousness and urgency that they delivered and required the actions and inactions of the f b i, employees described in the report, are inexcusable, and
9:22 am
a discredit to this organization. what's most shocking is the price paid by the victims during the overlooked 14 months. the sex offender retired as physician of the u. s. gymnastic steam, but continued in the same role at the michigan state university, a high school and a gymnastics club. delays in legal action against master lead to the abuse of 70 young females says the d o. j. according to lawyers, that number could be as high as 120. this is a devastating indictment of the f. b. i am the department of justice. the multiple federal agents covered up in the san abuse and child molestation. no one seems to give a damn about these little girls. here's another disturbing reminder of what these victims could have been going through. when i was 13, just a kid laying on a table, i miss you. and you for your on glove hand, all over my rear,
9:23 am
i slipped into the most private area of my body. i did not know that at the same time larry was penetrating me. usa gee, was systematically burying reports of sexual assault against member coaches in a file cabinet instead of reporting them. why did you make me hate the one thing i loved so much? why did you take my dreams away from me? you lie to me and manipulated me to think that when you treated me, you were closing your eyes because you had been working hard when you are really touching me an innocent child to pledge yourself and who knows how long the of be i would have kept turning a blind eye on this disgrace if it wasn't for a detailed investigative report by the local outlet, the indianapolis star, plus that coincided with local police finally responding to dozens of complaints from gymnast. but again, real action was more than a year late. moreover, the d o j found that later the special agent in charge of the f b i. indianapolis,
9:24 am
field office, w. j. abbot live city inspector general's office. numerous times about the handling of the case and a bid to allegedly cover up the investigative mistakes and missteps. agent abbot was never brought to account just like the rest of his team. and was allowed to retire with full benefits in 2018. the department of justice now needs to decide if it is going to be yet another institution that fail survivors, or if it's going to enforce some measure of accountability for these crimes. and in that same tweets, the senator is echoing the number one question on everybody's mind. how many, at least would have been spared, unimaginable pain if the f b, i had done his job. hey, it's not only those on capitol hill waiting for answers, but the entire nation too, will be f. b, i speak out and live up to the expectations. some of the colombian
9:25 am
suspected of taking part in the assassination of hades. president previously received a u. s. military training. the pentagon says several had also been informants for the us. drug enforcement agency review for training databases indicates that a small number of the columbia and individuals detained as part of this investigation had participated in past us military training and education programs . while serving as active members of the columbus military forces he's president was murdered in his home on july, 7th. around 20 suspects have been detained with the pentagon insists. all trainees are committed to human rights and the rule of law. but the head of the institute for justice and democracy in haiti told us washington plays a central role in the countries bloodshed last. and they will not, even if the us didn't, 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
9:26 am
for, for the ph d k party. and so what they're asking is that the us stop propping up a dictatorship community. that the us stop talking about sending soldiers, they don't want us soldiers, people who are associated with the da haben, 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. europe is ditching fossil fuels, at least that's the intention under radical new e u plans. the block says it will stop the sale of petrol powered cars and go
9:27 am
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 goods coming into the e. u will be used to back local firms to make the switch to cleaner energy. environmental activist george barta thinks this is the wrong time for such moods. to a carbon budget for a good chance of 1.5 degrees, which is all the government means the aiming for. that budget runs out in 2020 by 2027. that should be, if we want to stay at 1.5 degree, if that should be known, we'll carbon emissions. now obviously reaching that because we've delayed action is mainly because of lobbying from the german industry and the revolving go between
9:28 am
the corporations. now looks like an impossible cross that is actually what we should be aiming for. instead of aiming for their carbon, it's close to 22 and 70 as possible. and bearing mind, you know, for even one to 5 degree the campus last week, just in, in germany, you know, a 100 people died because it's flat to climate change with thing. you're north america on fire, the fire, the, he's already a crime against humanity. and of course, you need more, more delay when we need to real transfer direction. that's all for this. our stay tuned for more in just about 30 minutes. me 100 make no,
9:29 am
certainly no borders and the blind number t's as emerge. we don't have authority. we don't actually, the whole world needs to take action and be ready. not a joke, people judge crisis, we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is paid for the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we need together in the cube experience demonstrations for and against her by the government. many in the us allowed, we say something must be done. what that something is,
9:30 am
is not entirely clear. the fact is, the u. s. has done many things against cuba for decades. namely, the long standing trade embargo, maybe washington should stop trying to help the cuban people for a change. the war on drugs still did as a way to come back. a great problem. what's the wonder? it's part of the attitude of the nation, not just of north dakota, and it got to be something that you could get elected. this time, the fight against drugs took a check and told us that andrew was competent. sean form. this is way too dangerous for him. to be doing clearly, they put him in harm's way. a rural college student does interest get shot in the head and found in a river like something else to be happening.
