3:03 pm
i only had time to move away my car and it was all covered and water already. it was quite mad. my son called me last week and he said the basement flooded. we thought, oh okay, there goes to basement and then a day later, the whole flat was water. we had to sit upstairs in the bedroom and here we are now for been clean up. what a state of emergency has been declared across western germany with people advised to stay at home. rescue work is found. several victims who had drowned in their own basements and helicopters, are currently trying to evacuate survivors from the rooftops reporting now from one of the worst. his areas, his piece of all of this is really here in hog in the reins over night that were forecasts 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 salt and ground. so far on friday, on thursday though, where i'm speaking to you from. so are 120 high watermark reached in just
3:04 pm
a few hours after was 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 this time, locals is telling me that well, construction equipment that was all not bridge was swept away as if it was nothing . that's the, the physical costs, the, the material costs. 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 last and 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 works in a lot of areas on functioning properly, people aren't able to get in touch with one another. however, tragically,
3:05 pm
in that particular town, if we did get news on thursday evening that 9 bodies are being found in a home for the sable people, it's the theme and the ferocity at which was his rose. that is really cause so many problems in court. so many people, false god, i haven't experienced that before. what came here? it happens 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 air 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 home well and truly flooded away in the town of hoggard where i'm talking to you from the authorities was saying last night. make sure you can, if you can,
3:06 pm
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 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 as the only way to get downstream 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 and look needed an incredibly dangerous job. the german army has also been drafted in on the scene for well over 24 hours now is trying to help coordinate those rescue efforts. both the damage is financially wise. that's obviously not the,
3:07 pm
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, i'll bring it to you through all of the reporting that well, the rural, so things have devastation and belgium overnight is rivers. birth bank 22 fatalities have already been reported. besides, evacuated from their home, neighboring from has sent for the rescue workers and the helicopter to help me recovery effort. an extreme weather is also hitting, the netherlands to authority, have told thousands to evacuate their homes at risk of flooding. rivers have gone above level seen in the last major floods in the early ninety's, part of a key made to a has been closed with power cuts. also being reported news
3:08 pm
tonight, the families of passengers on a plane that disappeared from radar inside berry. i have breathed a huge sigh of relief that after all 18 on port survived a crash landing after both engines failed because dawn of gave more details to don quarter. well, basically the plane in question is an an 28. it's ukranian manufactured, jet, quite old, but still fit for service. it is a small to so it's no match to the boeing to add boxes that travel is, are used to flying on. so it to cost in siberia and 20 minutes 29 minutes into the flight. the air traffic controllers be received and signal from its emergency beacon. this is essentially the same thing as sending and as so s please out them. so rescue as voted a helicopter. and began to search in the area where they were expecting to find the plane. so they supported it as it was lying their belly up, all rec,
3:09 pm
completely. it's a complete mess that you can see yourself. but standing out trying to be could also seeing the passengers. apparently all 18 people in board survived. the only person to get an injury was the pilot. reportedly it's a fractured bone, a broken leg, maybe. but the doctors are saying they're examining him and just to make sure what exactly is wrong with the pilot. now here's how the co pilot described what happened in the air. the best for me. he was in for several years. so puts them according to some unconfirmed reports. what could be behind this engine failure was that they just froze up, you know, when it's cold and you're flying out somewhere before taking off the playing is being pulled on. busy the special
3:10 pm
a special liquid. this is done specifically to avoid situations like this and why it wasn't done in this particular situation. if that turns out to be the case, if that turns out to be the cause of the problems with the engines. well, nobody can on to this question right now, the special commission. we'll have to look into this. well, it's not every day we hear about airplanes crash landing, but this isn't the 1st time something like that happened in russia's no, not at all. and also with a positive outcome as well. a couple of years ago in 2019 a very similar story happened to a big air bus 3 to one with more than 200 people on board, just outside moscow as the plane to cough. and as it was ascending, climbing up it hit a colony of c goes. so several birds got sucked into the plains engines, so one gave out immediately, another one was barely working. so the plane began to lose out to you. so the crew, the captain, made the decision to make an emergency landing in
3:11 pm
a corn field. they did successfully. everybody survived all more than 200 people survived, no major injuries and he's how a flight attended was giving directions to the passengers as they were evacuating from the area of the other student. but each student that's going to need it. well, that's not that good, but it really does looking at the other process. so the captain of the playing the mirror, you super, he was later given awarded with a golden star over the hero of the russian federation. so even though this plan is much small and hopefully the pilots and the crew that saved a 1000 lives, hopefully their feet will be awarded somehow as well. south africa, his witnessing it's worth violence and decades with rise and losing erupt. thing
3:12 pm

3:19 pm
their own hands, even if their own businesses are under attack, but local to still ami cells and building road blocks to keep lynx is then a shopping center has been looted, then don't write down but at the moment you purchase 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? i think it's cause a lot of fear in the community and gender. obviously everyone is actually scared to leave the homes. and i live in this area, which is not safe at all. watching ortiz to see this from negligence to straight up mistakes delayed by the f b. i to investigate sex crimes against the children's gymnastics team by that don't lead to further abuse. that conclusion of the us justice department will have the story. i'm reaction to it just off
3:20 pm
the 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, accumulating the growth of brand new brain cell. ah, they cannot, they are to say there's no latisha or on the 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
3:21 pm
people are on the word realize that we cannot continue overconsumption as we are doing now. the the, the news. ah, welcome back and i the f b. i failed to protect dozens of child gymnast by not responding earlier to allegations of abuse perpetrated by their team stults. that's the charge of the u. s. department, department of justice, which says the bureau took more than a year just to launch a probe, the f. b i as since acknowledged its handling of the case was inexcusable. the medic was eventually sentenced to hundreds of years in prison for molesting
3:22 pm
children. he per franca reports, it's an immensely ugly story, 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 endorse 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 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 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
3:23 pm
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 of his failed to respond to the national allegation with the utmost 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
3:24 pm
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 and legal action against nasser. lead to the abuse of 70 young female 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 south 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,
3:25 pm
for your ungloved hand all over my rear and 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 pleasure itself. 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,
3:26 pm
field office, w. j abbott. lied to the inspector general's office numerous times about the handling of the case. and a bit to allegedly cover up the investigative mistakes and miss steps. 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 too, will the f. b, i speak out and live up to the expectations that the pentagon
3:27 pm
has admitted that some of the colombian suspected of taking part in the assassination of haiti's presence and previously received us military training. several had also been informants for the u. s. drug enforcement agency, a review of our training databases indicates that a small number of the columbia and individuals detained as part of this investigation had participated in past us mail, treat training and education programs. while serving as active members of the colombian military forces. i the president was murdered at his home on july. the 7th around 20 suspects have been detained. the pen to conduct insists that all trainees are committed to human rights and the rule of law. but the head of the in chief for justice and democracy in haiti told us that washington plays a central role in the countries bloodshed, not even the us didn't, wasn't involved in the assassination itself. the u. s. was deeply involved in
3:28 pm
creating the conditions that allow this assassination to happen, notably, a 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 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 the intention under new radical
3:29 pm
e plans broke says it will stop the sale of pet full 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. going green will come at a cost to when you tax on goods coming into the you will be used to back local firms to make the switch to clean energy, easier environmental activist. so george parted us thing that this is the wrong time for such a move at to carbon budget for good to 1.5 degrees, which is all the government claims the control that budget runs out in 2020 step by 2027. that should be, if we want to stay with 5 degrees, there should be no more competition. now obviously, reaching that because we've delayed action is mainly because of lobbying from the
3:30 pm
industry and the revolving go between addition to corporation. of course that now looks like an impossible that is absolutely what we should be aiming for. instead of aiming for their college close to 27 as possible and bearing mind, you know, even one to 5 degree campus last week, just in, in germany. you know, a 100 people died because it's like time to change with thing. you're north america on fire, the fire center, the, he's already a crime against humanity should be. this is more more of a when we need to real transformative action watching audience national that brings you up today. we're back again with more stories at the top me the.
