thing says no racism but they're more likely to end up in the criminal justice system. then there are other fellow friends in daycare me thinking to you now just in front of a bridge that was under construction at the time locals are telling me that well, construction equipment that was all not bridge was swept away as if it was nothing record floods hit germany and belgium is more than 100 dead isn't tie a building to sweat away more than a 1000 people still missing it looks as if a bomb has like more also this rec streets and looted stores. south africa. stuff is another night of rights off the jailing of its former presidents. we speak to the woman who amid decalle, through her child from a burning building to a crowd of bystanders. to save her basically. and so

i wait for them to come together. then after i took the baby and i will be going, they can be no gonna many because i was holding my hair like the whole time to come as armed local setup road blocks to defend the neighborhood. we follow a police operation to catch the legs. we walking towards a house where they have recently conducted an operation. hi. what do you have in your hand? flow of some stuff that was stolen and a miraculous escape for passengers on board a russian plane crash lands after disappearing off re dos, oversight berries. ah . good evening, welcome. you watch nothing to national just for my 11 o'clock in the russian capital. now unprecedented flooding has killed more than $100.00 people in germany

and belgium that after 2 months worth of rain fell in just a matter of hours. streets have turned to rivers and homes, and even bridges have been swept away with the military. now being called in to help the me disclosure, i think the place has been completely evacuated yesterday. they use the helicopter to rescue people from the roof. we woken up to half past 2 at night. unfortunately, they had to tear down the door, but i complained the rescue as for doing that i was here, i had just finished cleaning up. i 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 and water already. it

was quite bad. 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 workers to find several victims to who had drowned in their own basements. helicopters are currently trying to evacuate survivors from the rooftops, reporting now from one of the worst hit areas. his peter, all of the sicily here in hog in the rains over night that were 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 salt and ground. and 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 the war. 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, well, construction equipment that was on that 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 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 for last and that the local authorities sweeping 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 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 via that 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 rows . that is really cause so many problems in court. so many people, false god, 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 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 home well and truly floated away in the town of hardware i'm talking to 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 house 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 been drafted in it's been 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, 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. busy 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 the updates that come out of this particular part of western journey throughout the day. any new information, i'll bring it to, you know, the families of passengers on a plane that disappeared from radars inside berry had breathed a huge sigh of relief. that after all, 18 on board survived a crash landing after both engines failed. you could, you turn off, gave more details to don quarter. well basically the plane in question is an and 28 . it's ukrainian manufactured jet is quite old, but still fit for service. it is a small to so it's no match to the boeing to add boxes that travelers are used to flying on. so it to cost in siberia and 20 minutes 29 minutes into the flight. the

air traffic control is the 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 boarded 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 ready, completely to complete the mess. you can see yourself, but standing out trying to be could also seeing the passengers. apparently 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 the money for several years. so puts him 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 the special 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 onto 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 happen and rushes. 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 sea ghost. 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 a corn field. they did successfully. everybody survived all more than $200.00 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 all the other student that each student that's going to leave it. well, that's not good, but it really was looking at the process. so the captain of the playing the mirror, you're super. he was later given a wooded with

a golden star over the hero of the russian federation. so even though this plan is much small and hopefully the pilots in the crew that saved 18 lives, hopefully their feet will be awarded somehow as well. south africa, his witnessing it's worse, violence in decades with rice and looting erupting after the jailing of its former president. more than 110 people have been confirmed dead so far. however, was a fairy lucky escape for a young child in the city of durban. would have warning that you might find these following images disturbing while amid the writing. flames engulfed a block of flats and her desperate mother through her, through a crowd of bystanders on the streets below to save her. they were then seen cheering, as the toddler was caught, safe and sound. this is what the mother told us about what happened. melissa is doing what i can say. yes. just so shocked. cuz she always remind me of what i

did to her leg when she was saying that moving outside, she was pointing though that's my mom. you drew me down. you drew me. whatever news the flex spending, we only smell smoke from the 16th floor and the lady from the recession. she was going flows with telling us to come down. we read something, it was 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 street by ministry, they were trying to help us taking their lives for us to go to the latest. so when i was there, there was the other big lady said she can carry the baby for me. 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 with my baby to be out, she refused to said, no, i'm going to go fast enough. so you're going to go, you're going to be doing them down after she got into the sale of the stairs fall in with her. there was people are trying to help her now. there was no any other

way for us who was stuck and he was not fussy. there was a lady behind me. can you tell me the baby's gonna be getting a baby for me? so i'm going to go up and down and you can give the babies who me control the babies with me. so are you stay for the babies? for me, the baby is crying, i thought, and no, no, never mind new crime, just solid to me. i came flooding up the kitchen, people is gaming, so i go go and i was relieved because i can see people. they drank a 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 when i call joe joe and i was waiting for them to come together, then after 2 the baby. now escape the big when they can see ocean, they know it's gonna be nice because i was holding my hair like luckily they called shading me. directed me go this, they go this way. they took me down to the touching me also. he and everyone i was saying you'll, you'll, you are brave brave with rise,

his writing stories and where has many have been killed in the sam page, an estimated 800 shots have already been destroyed and local to now clearing up the wreckage in johannesburg correspondent, curiously, tagged along with police is a 100 times suspecting bluetooth. i mean alexandra 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. hi. what do you have in your hand? flow us and stuff that was stolen. you have you noticed them now we've got to push and who lives here. if somebody inside the building. okay, let's go inside and see who's been doing the feeling. so we 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 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 ransacking over the past. few days. so here we entering someone's home who's been stealing stuff. so what is this? and there is a dwarf and the turtles and the other stuff as you see there in the car, there goes and that is taking, taking with this. there's a suspect. how do you know what stuff have stolen and what stuff belongs to the family? in this case, they told us to whatever is in here it is, it, it is friend, a prodigy and, and some of the things have been taken out 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, as a community member, said the people of alexander,

they must come and stand up and make sure we're taking the door to door. we're taking that to the people that they have to come and claim that because now we don't have a pen more. we didn't have my shops this. it was peter here. people just walk wasn't minutes or we didn't something to come and fix up. you 1000 little, 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 here are loading what they've managed to take from this house, and among the stolen goods are a number of doors, a toilet and a bottle of pain. the

hope was almost 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 for the one who's giving you the information as to who the and where these related stuff is. they come in until like through the day giving us the information on this computer of alex because now they're sick and tired of what to say. and they see, this is the wrong thing. i'm here with the main police station in alexandra. the suspect has been full care and is being held in one of the so 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, thanks being with us tonight. we're going to take a quick break. we'll have more stories in 2 minutes. oh, i use jason is going to start at a federal reserve shirt, so there you go. oh, heck, no. refrigeration came with the rest, the 7 years bill it was kaiser or

join me every thursday on the alex salmon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport business, i'm show business, i'll see you then me the cubans experience demonstrations for and against the hub on a government, many in the us allowed we say something must be done. what that's something is, 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 hello again. now the white house is claimed that russia and china undermining trust in western vaccines and the bid to promote their own jobs. press secretary jim sack,

he insisted that moscow in beijing misinformation is exaggerating. the risk of side effects from american andy shots will be joined by corresponding color, moping over the united states for more on this good evening. kellett, i'm just telling them what sparked these comments from washington while there's a big anti vax movement in the united states. many americans just refused to get the vaccine. so we figured it's only a matter of time before they would blame the usual suspects. take a listen. russia and china has promoted their own vaccines through messaging that undermines western origin vaccine does help development programs. so, you know, that is more than just competition about vaccines. the risk and impact there is that this type of information magnifies the risk of potential side effects associated with western vaccines. this is what the,

what the information some of this misinformation is doing. it seems like the white house spokesperson is saying that reporting on the findings of u. s. government federal agencies is somehow disinformation. it was the us food and drug administration that recently came forward and offered a warning about johnson johnson single dose, colbert 19 vaccine, saying it could possibly cause julian bar syndrome, which is a rare auto immune disease that attacks the nerves and could result in paralysis. now the cases of this happening are very rare, but still the f d a, the u. s. government food and drug administration is the one reporting about this. furthermore, it's been the denmark, ministry of health that has at this point suspended the astrazeneca and johnson and johnson vaccines over quote, possible health effects. that's the danish ministry of health. now, as far as accusations of competition,

it should be noted the reason people went to russia in order to get the sputnik vaccine was because they didn't want to wait for months in order to get vaccinated . and let's talk about why that is. here's what some people said in italy, people of my age are scared to let the to be vaccinated after the summer. so very far, i just have to make a submission in moscow. now when it comes to damaging misinformation about vaccines, it seems like the biden white house has a few gaps of its own. let's review some of what they have said. we are quite focused on communicating directly with those people. hence, our special guest today about why it's important to get vaccinated. why do you fact scenes are safe? why they can still kill you, even if you are under the age of $27.00, we need to be clear and direct about our messaging. so i guess that's what the

biden whitehouse considers to be direct messaging. okay, thank you, kelly. those are, she's kind of open that reporting at from the us the you his launch legal action against member states, hungary and poland over what he calls discrimination against the l g. b t. community europe will never allow parks of all sides to be stigmatized. we start legal action against hunger and poland for violations upon the mental rights of l. g, b t i q people, a new hungarian law, bands depiction of homosexuality, and educational materials and tv shows for under eighteens. the government has also awarded a disclaimer on a book with gay content to state. it does contain behavior, inconsistent with traditional gender roles. and brussels is also similar troubles with poland to the moment because several polish regions have adopted resolutions

declaring themselves to be free of l. g b t ideology. furthermore, also is constitutional court has now said it rejects 2 decisions by the top court. european commission spokesperson says that poland degreed to abide by e rulings when it joined the block and cannot, cannot opt out. when it fancies this decision actually reaffirms or concerns about the state of the rule of law in poland, the commission has always been very clear on this matter and reaffirmed once more. the law has primacy over national law and all decisions by the european court of justice, including orders for entering measures or binding on member states authorities and national court. okay, let's get the fuse. now rufus,

he said you had political on this to a member of the alternative germany party very well contained coming on rain tonight. who's going to win this battle g? think the seems pretty adamant its rules have to be a bait why it's hard to say because the poland of course also. busy has a very specific definition of sovereignty, the polish government, and also the polish people, do not like the european union into fear, into what they call domestic affairs. and therefore, it's hard to say who will giving 1st tonight is that the, his tide is colby, the recovery package to what it calls rule of law standards. do you think that will be enough leverage to persuade hungary and poland to tow the line? here? of course should be you cut the funding portfolio and that would hurt the polish government quite severely. but i don't think that will be really to

use them because the question for me also as an observer is why does the you exclusively react on such as they call transgression of think that government in the only pacific then that to feel if we look at other, the metric field where government in the european union have violated you law and you have not seen that trick. for example, when the showing an area of the out of borders were not protected in 2015. no. really? yeah. interference off the you have the, in the government in depth, them felt more than that. your regulations allowed no reaction in the we have over 200000 non citizens pop for the, for russian defendants who do not be well enough. the national language

where you called for by a to the rule of minorities, et cetera. i said, why do you think then that hungary and poland being particularly targeted here them and given exam procedures said other countries don't seem to get the same treatment . why is that? do you think? well, i think it's because they into the in here or the contradict, that you policy in a field where we are dealing with the ideological foundations off the new you system and l g b t q. rule for example seems to be more. busy important to the european union, then protecting borders or then obey into financial and investment rule that cetera. so i think it's rather an ideological fight that is going on here . even though of course, concerning the traditional system,

we have to look closely at the duration in poland. the court. busy maureen, if you can also say you judges for transgressing certain national rule, the question is the government really fight only corruption there or is it also something like an ideological trimming of the judges that it's hard to say. we need deeper analysis to look into that and in terms of how he reacts to these issues, does it have to be careful not to come across as being to authoritarian because what would they be afraid to could sort of promote for the succession movements and other countries from europe. yeah, i mean, this is the lesson that you should have learned already with the practice the you, it's not an authority which can just call the member states to do this or

that of course, then to be a common rule that which needs to be all the accepted, tolerated and respected by the government. but if there are differences in certain fields, it is of course, the right off national government in the year of sovereignty to define democrats all thought which way to go, which tendencies to follow and which the big roof took that up. if this is not longer and not any longer the case, then we have the change and where the member states are not a problem any longer, but they are hard author federation and this is not according. busy to the root of the very do itself. just briefly, right. does it also of highlight a broader problem of trying universally, integrate and large land mass like euro that does differ very differently culturally from country to country?

yeah, this is the challenge. i mean that you wanted to expand its territory as possible and it still keep trying to integrate all to south eastern faith into the year of influence. but also with brings along. busy busy the challenge that very different cultural and political situations and that class. and if the you is not able to speak with one voice in the different field in itself that you, if we can. and if all the theme of the week organization in the international, the are all in terms of international policy and it's hard to bring all the different members together in one line. if there are different national interest, different nash.
