12:03 pm
i was here i had just finished cleaning up, was about to sit down to enjoy a cup of coffee. when it all started, suddenly the water came flooding him from above. from behind from all sides, i only had time to move away my car and it was all covered in water already. it was quite bad. often for my son called me last week and he said the basement flooded. we thought, oh okay, there goes the basement and then a day later, the whole flat was water. so we had to sit upstairs in the bedroom. and here we are now for been clean. a state of emergency has been declared across western germany
12:04 pm
with people advise to stay home and avoid high water areas. rescue workers found several victims were drowned in their own basements and helicopters are trying to evacuate. survivors from rooftops or europe corresponded peter oliver reports from the scene necessarily here in, hug in the reins over night that were forecast didn't turn out to be heavy. and we, we haven't seen any further rain falling on these already swollen rivers and lakes and already salt and ground. 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 had 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 well, construction equipment that was all not bridge was swept away as if it was nothing
12:05 pm
. that's the, the physical cost, the, the material costs, but unfortunately in tragically the human cost of this natural disaster is still 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 philosophy at the local authorities tweeting out that 1300 people were counted as missing as far as they're concerned. that may well be down to what we're on. the hoping that's down to is the fact that the telecommunications that work in a lot of areas are functioning properly. people aren't able to get in touch with one another. however, tragically, in that particular town of via we did get news on thursday evening. the 9 bodies are being found in a home for the stable people. it's the theme and the ferocity at which was his rows . that is really cause so many problems in court. so many people off god, i haven't experience that before. what came here? it happens so fast,
12:06 pm
we couldn't look as fast as the water came. it was really bad for us. we laughed at . it wouldn't be so bad. but then it got really bad. there was more and more and more water than we were told that we had to leave the house 5 things for age from the air of the scale of the destruction you're looking at rivers that said buying in, flooded kilometers away from their usual boundaries. people's home well and truly flooded away in the town of hoggard where i'm told you from the authorities was 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 towns 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 when it comes to rescuing people in the
12:07 pm
cologne region. rescue is having to you folks 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 is you having to go in to do that. look, you needed an incredibly dangerous job. the german army has also been drafted in on the theme 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 the moment that we're still struggling to try and get a real fix on just how high that may be 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,
12:08 pm
i'll bring it to you. remember of germany's ruling party told us the disaster has brought out the best and people, you know, this is any 82 we are told me, i've already called it the area. so many people are missing from the play up gate. also to people who say, who given the lives to save us. and this is also a big, you know, big signal that we're showing a sort of data to, to going to support those people. you know, this is cut us off for showing how we are april and capable to be really unhealthy. and also showing this really dirty, cheap with out without the conflict between parties or politics. we are staying here. we are your money. we are able to help. others seems of devastation also in belgium. overnight as rivers burst, their banks 22 fatalities have already been reported with thousands of accurately from their homes and neighboring frances sent 40 rescue workers as well as
12:09 pm
a helicopter to aid the recovery effort. meanwhile, in the netherlands, authorities have told thousands to evacuate their homes at risk of flooding in the heavy rainfall. rivers have gone above the level seen in the last major floods in the early nineties. and part of the key motor way has been closed with powder. our power outages also being reported to the families of passengers on a plane that disappeared from radars in siberia. i have breathed a huge sigh of relief as all 18 on board survived after a crash landing. now joining us in the studio right now to talk more about that is our correspond either stano vigor. thanks for joining us. what do we know as of now? well, basically, the plane in question is an and 28. it's ukrainian manufactured jet, quite old, but still fit for service. it is also small. it is no match for the boeing's or air buses that most travel as i used to flying on. so there's some small play. it took
12:10 pm
off in siberia and 29 minutes into its flight. the ad traffic control is the receive, the signal from the plains emergency. beacon is pretty much the same as putting an s a west plea out that so rescue as they boarded a helicopter. and they began searching for this plane in the corresponding area where the plane was supposed to be. and from above, they did indeed support this plane as it was lying belly up because it, well, it apparently flipped after hitting the ground during the crash landing. what else the, the rescue is also what the also spotted were the passengers who were standing around this plane. apparently a scene on board, survived the crash. in fact, the only person to be injured is the pilot. he has been taken to hospital with a broken leg with a broken leg, excuse me, the cause for what was literally inches away from becoming a tragedy is engine failure. basically, 2 engines stopped working because of the ice because they will,
12:11 pm
there was so much ice on them, you know, like when it's cold and you're flying out somewhere before taking off the plane is being well basically liquid, a special liquid is being poured on the plane it is done specifically to prevent situations like this and the question as to why it wasn't done with this particular ad cropped well, nobody can answer it as of now. so the, as the plane crash landed, and everybody evacuated the people, they broke encampments with fireplaces, as they will expected to spend the night out there in the wild. but that wasn't needed because the rescuers found them so quickly. well, it's not every day we hear about, i mean, a plane crash landing, but this isn't the 1st one that's happened in russia. is it know that it all the couple of years ago in 20. 19 that time. a major croft and about 3 to one. it took off from an airport not far from moscow. in fact, in the most region, and as it was ascending, as it was climbing up, it had
12:12 pm
a colony of sea goes. so some birds, they got into the plains and, and so one gave out immediately another one was barely working. so the plane started to lose out to choose. so the pilots, they make the decision to make an emergency landing in a corn field. so that was successful, everybody more than $200.00 people on board, survived no injuries even. and his how the captain on the plane was giving directions to his passengers outside the cornfield to have a look for the other student that each student that's going to leave it. well, that's not good, but it's really looking at the prospect. so the captain, a little of the playing, the me, you super. he was later given awarded with a golden star over the hero of the russian federation. so even though this plan is
12:13 pm
much small and hopefully the pilots and the crew that saved 18 lives, hopefully their feet will be awarded somehow as well. well, thank goodness. in both cases everyone walked out of it alive. so yours, donna, thank you very much for joining us. south africa is witnessing its worst violence in decades with riots and looting corrupting. after the jailing of the former president, more than 110 people have been confirmed dead. and in the middle of the writing in the city of durban, a terrifying incident involving a small child, ended safely. a warning you might find these images disturbing. as flames engulfed her black eye, her block of flats, a desperate mother threw her daughter to a crowd of bystanders on the street below to save her. they were then seen shearing as the toddler was caught safe and sound. the mother described to us how afraid she was in that moment. melissa is doing what i can say.
12:14 pm
yeah, sure. so shock because she always remind me of what i did to her leg when she said that building also she was pointing those. it's my mom. you drew me down, you to me, it would have been you 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 are outside of the plant. so when they were playing with people from the 3, those standing in the sleeve by mystery, 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, outpatient, didn't give me to be me. so i can come out because the only thing i wanted was a baby to be out. she refused to said, no, i'm going to go fast enough, so you're going to get accumulate. they do, and i'm down after she got into the sales,
12:15 pm
the cell phone with her there was people trying to help and now there was no any other way for commerce who was stopped and it was lot o fi fi. there was a lady behind me. i saw that. can you tell me the baby's 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 babies with me. so are you stay to go to babies? for me? the baby is crying, and no, no, never mind new crime, just solid to me. came flooding me up, the kitchen people is gaming, so i go go and i was like, well as relieved because i can see people, they drink a lot, but i didn't even notice people, but i saw they'd be willing to help us. that it made me pause and see that so they scream color joe saw and i was waiting for them to come together. then after to the baby and now escape the big when they can see ocean the nose going to me nice because i was holding my hair like the like you know, they called shading me. directed me go this like all the say, the took me down the,
12:16 pm
the, the catching me also. he and everyone i was saying your, your brave brave with writers rating stores in warehouses. many have been killed in the sam p. an estimated $800.00 shops have already been destroyed and locals are now cleaning up the wreckage and johannesburg are corresponded. paula, we are tagged along with the police as they hunted down suspected looters. i mean, an example township in south africa where the police and community leaders are undergoing a nighttime operation, trying to recover some of the sodium goods that were ransacked by people over the last few days. so we walking towards a house way. they have recently conducted an operation. hi. what do you have in your hand? flour and stuff that was stolen. have you noticed on him? no, we've got to push and he lives here. it's somebody inside it's been inside. 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
12:17 pm
coming forward to the police and to community leaders and telling them that they maybe 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 van sacking 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 there in the car, they're going to take you taking it with this. there's a suspect. how do you know what stuff was stolen and what stuff belongs to the family? in this case they, i'm going to do whatever is in here. it is still, it is his friend, a prodigy 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 he has
12:18 pm
a community member? said the people of alexander, they must come and stand up and make sure we're taking the door to door, taking that to their people the. they have to come and claim their properties. because now we don't have a pen more, we didn't have nice shops. this, it was cash been here. people just walk. what minutes are we getting something to come and fix up to 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. so i'm looking to find a neighbor will talk to us yet the 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 point system and a bottle of pain. the
12:19 pm
wisdom 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. busy a cover lot of stuff and then we go 7 places. and then the, i think, to model, we go for the one who's giving you the information as to who the and where these related stuff is the common until they giving us the information on this computer of alex. because now they're thinking about want to see opinion and they see this is on the i'm here with the main police station in alexandra. the suspect has been
12:20 pm
full care and is being held in one of the cells. a short time ago, there was no electricity in this area, 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 try to deal with the current state of 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. the locals are still arming themselves and building roadblocks to keep looters out of their neighborhoods. in shopping centers being looted then don't write down the thinking at the moment, you know, in this complex. yeah, there's one for the favorite and this is the only place that now we're getting food from. are we just to get to protect our families over the last company been hectic? it's cause a lot of fear in the community. in general, obviously,
12:21 pm
everyone knew that you can leave the homes. and i look in this area which is not safe at home. the same vaccine, but 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 jab, not the identical indian manufactured version and would be, travelers are confused. i think the risk your chances of being clearly defined vaccine is absolutely identical despite the fact that is manufactured india. the confusion is that we'll choose to travel, evidently, 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 cannot find any clear information on whether or not we can travel if i sign up a port. busy 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
12:22 pm
destination and get checked, will i be allowed to continue? my job, i, you, regulator is explained to the indian made version called covey shield is not on its list as astrazeneca has not given enough data on the manufacturing process. there. however, even those who have had an e u approved shot face difficulties once in france where they still need a health pass to go to public places. these includes these include restaurants and shopping centers, as well as distances and long distance buses and trains to get the past. you have to be inoculated and either have a negative p c r test or have recently recovered from cope it. the system has sparked street protests, and andy hill again says it had extra complications. it could make a trip to friends too costly for some years. seems to be some confusion around what the cell phone and also the certificate size in terms of the actual name that explain cold in the versus the batch number. don't match the name and the bus
12:23 pm
number doesn't match what people are saying. so they saying, you know, cover shields accepted bucks of error is they batch them 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 so much. the disappointment with my family. i'm not going to get the last minute. non refundable tickets, etc, etc. you know, for the sake of a breakdown in communication, it's frankly ludicrous. now, quite startling story. 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 the f. b i is since acknowledged it's handling as inexcusable. and the medic was eventually sentenced to hundreds of years in prison for molesting children as artillio drank or reports. it's an immensely ugly story and
12:24 pm
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's sports doctor. the fact that larry nasser will never walk out of prison alive, thanks to 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 not 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 disgraceful scandal emerge. the man who once was larry nasser, his boss,
12:25 pm
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 and 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 national allegations with the seriousness and urgency that they deserved and required the actions and inactions of the f b, i, employees, described in the report, are inexcusable and discredit to this organization. what's most shocking is the
12:26 pm
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 gymnast x club delays in legal action against master lead to the abuse of 70 young females as the d o j. according to lawyers. busy 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 the kid laying on a table, i miss you. and you for your own glove hand, all over my rear, i slipped into the most private area of my body. i did not know that at the same
12:27 pm
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 pleasure self. 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,
12:28 pm
field office, w. j abbott, wide 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 tweet, the senator is echoing the number one question on everybody's mind. how many athletes 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 to will the f. b. i speak out and live up to the expectations news. some of the colombians suspected of taking part in the
12:29 pm
assassination of haiti's president previously received u. s. military training. according to the pentagon, several had also been informants 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 mail, treat training and education programs while serving as active members of the columbus military forces. and he's president, was murdered in his home on july, 7th, around 20 suspects have been detained. defend to cotton insists. all trainees are committed to human rights and the rule of law for the head of the institute for justice and democracy in haiti told us that washington actually plays a central role in the countries. bloodshed will not do. even if the us didn't, wasn't involved in the assassination itself. the u. s. was deeply involved in creating the conditions that allowed this assassination to happen. notably as
12:30 pm
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 haben, involved in crimes. and there's also been a history of the agents themselves being involved in drug trafficking and other crime in haiti. most human rights groups a long time ago, decided that, that actually instituting controls was unrealistic. and have been calling for for just d, just stopping this kind of trading, but they continued 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 it's intention under radical new you plans. the block says.
