as the reports, but right about it, what are the things you know, 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 called floods. hit germany and belgium, it's more than a 100 dead tie of buildings is swept away for than a 1000 people still missing it looks as if a bomb has hit like a more eventually also this rec, streets and diluted stores. south africa suffers another night of riots off the jailing of its former president to speak to the woman who amid the chaos, through her child from a burning building to a crowd of bystanders. to save her so the queen

jo, jo and i was waiting for them to come together then asked to that they've been our big when they can say, oh, we should be no nice because i was holding my head on his arms local setup road blocks to defend the neighborhood, we follow a police operation to catch the links. it's walking towards a house where they have recently conducted an operation. hi. what do you have in your hand flow that that was stolen and a miraculous escape for passengers on board. a rushing plane that crash lands off the disappearing off radars, oversight barriers. ah hello, they're welcome. you want you naughty international. i want entered flooding has

killed more than a 100 people in germany and belgium that after 3 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 me i think the place has been completely evacuated yesterday. they use the helicopter to rescue people from the roof that we woken up to half past 2 nights. and unfortunately they had to tear down the door. but i complained the rescue for doing that i was hit, 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 in from above and 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 base into it's flooded. we thought, oh okay, there goes the basement. and then a day later, the whole flat was water. we have to sit upstairs in the bedroom. and here we are now for been clean up. what a state of emergency has been declared across west and germany with people advised to stay at home, work and have been found through several victims who had drowned in their own basements and heavy cult is all currently trying to evacuate survivors from the rooftops reporting now from one of the worst hit areas, his patient oliver sicily here in hog in the reins over night that were full cost, 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 grounds. so far on friday, on thursday though, where i'm speaking to you from. so a 120 high watermark reached in just

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 the time. lou also 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, but unfortunately in 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 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 what we will be 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 we did get news on thursday evening that 9 bodies had been found in a home for disabled 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 is happen so fast, couldn't look as fast as the water came out. it was really bad for us. we laughed at. it wouldn't be so bad. but then it got really bad. that was your and more and more water. then we were told that we had to leave the house thing footage from the air of the scale of the destruction. you're looking at rivers that have 1st banks in flooded 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, to sleep on the higher floors of houses to remain there. also not to drink the

drinking water. because while the flood water from the river has over filled into the towns was to supply me to cologne. not too far away in the same state. 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. rescue is 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 is you are having to go in to do that much needed and incredibly dangerous job. the german army has also been drafted in on the theme 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 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 have all of it with the rules times things the devastation in belgium overnight is. first that thank 22 fatalities have already been reported sized ins, evacuated from their home, neighboring france, and sent for the rescue workers. and the heavy cost to, to help in the recovery effort. i'm extreme weather is also hitting the netherlands to authority. have told fines to evacuate homes at risk of flooding. rivers have gone above the level seen in the last major floods in the early ninety's part of a key motorway has been closed with power cuts also reported

in other news tonight, the families of passengers on a plane that disappeared from the radars oversight barrier have breathed a huge sigh of relief that after waiting on board survived a crash landing after both engines failed because you don't of have more details to don't quarter. well basically the plane in question is an an 28. it's a ukrainian manufactured jets 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 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 low rec,

completely. it's a complete mess. 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 to see what was going on here 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

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 answer this question right now, the special commit, and 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 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 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

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 reach the to him, leave it. well, that's not that good, but he didn't really 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 18 lives, hopefully their feet will be awarded somehow as well. to africa, his witnessing is worth violence and decades to thrive and loosing, interrupting after the jailing of its former president. more than 110 people have

been confirmed dead so far. however, that was a very lucky escape for a young child in the city of durban, a wood flooring there you might find these images disturbing. well meet the rioting flames in gulf charles hung in a block of flats, and her desperate mother threw her through the 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 miller affairs doing what i can say. yeah. 6 months or so shock. cuz she always remind me of what i did to her. when she was saying that moving alterations i 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 floes was telling us to come down. we read something in the 2nd floor. we're

community leaders are undergoing a nighttime operation. trying to recover some of the stone goods that were ransacked by people over the last few days. so we walking towards a house where they have recently conducted an operation. hi. what do you have in your hand? flour and stuff that was stolen. have you noticed on him? no, we've got a tip of 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 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 took off as to who conducted the ransacking over the past. few days, so he'll be entering someone's home who's been stealing stuff stuff. so what he says, and there is a door and the titles and the other stuff as you see the in the cuff the goals

and just wanted to take it sticking with this. this is less, but how do you know what stuff have stolen and what stuff belongs to the family? in this case, they may need to go to whatever is in here. it is to lead to 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? the now, why do i say here the community members see the people of alex on? they must come and stand up and make sure we're taking the door to door, taking that to the people that they have to come and claim that for this. because now we don't have a pen mark. we didn't have my shops use, it was peter, people just walk. what minutes are we getting something to come and fix up you 1000?

whatever the trunk is, all 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. so i'm looking to find a neighbor. will talk to us yet some more goods that the police are taking with him that have been confiscated. so the police are loading what they've managed to take from this house and among the stolen goods are a number of doors, a toilet and a bottle of paint. the ones that 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? it was saying, hey, we'll cover a lot of stuff and then we go 7 places. and then i think to model for the one who's giving you the information as to who the and where these related stuff is committed to giving us the information on this computer. of alex because now they're speaking about what is the opinion and they see this is the wrong thing. i'm here at the main police station in alexandria. the suspect has been full care and is being held in one of the cell. a 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 tried to deal with the current state of violence policy, a r t. alexandra, that i had seen from negligence to straight up mistakes,

delays by the f. b i to investigate to dr. accused of abusing members of the children's gymnastics team lead to further abuse. that's the conclusion of the us justice department. we'll have that story reaction to it just after the break. ah, i i will.

i will join me every thursday on the alex starlen shore 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 the, the, the ah, hello again, the white house is claimed that russia and china are undermining trust in western vaccines in the bid to promote their own jobs. press secretary, jennifer saki insisted that moscow and beijing misinformation is exaggerating the risk of side effects from american. any shots party correspondent calibrate it has

more. there is a huge anti vax movement in the united states. many americans are simply refusing to get vaccinated for coven 19, so we figured it wouldn't be too long before the white house started pointing, as the usual suspects. 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 information is doing. it seems like what the white house spokesperson is saying is that reporting on the findings of u. s. federal agencies is somehow just information because it was the us food and drug administration that came forward and recently warned about the johnson and

johnson, single dose, cobra, 1900 vaccine. and the fact that it could actually cause gillian bar syndrome, which is an auto immune disorder that attacks the nerves and could result in paralysis. now these cases have been rare, but this is according to the food and drug administration. the u. s. federal government agency now it was officials in denmark who recently suspended the use of the johnson and johnson and astro venica vaccines, citing possible harmful effects. but apparently that's just information, even though it came from the danish ministry of health. it's also worth noting that on this accusation of competition, the main reason that people traveled to russia to get the vaccine was simply because they didn't want to wait for months to be vaccinated. here's what they said in the 30 people of my age are scandalous. busy to be vaccinated after the summer, so very far i decided to make initially 9 most. now when it comes to

damaging information about the vaccine, the white house certainly made quite a few gas themselves. take a listen. we are quite focused on communicating directly with those people, hence our special guest today about why it's important to get vaccinated. why these fact scenes are safe, why they can still kill you even if you are under the age of 27, we need to be clear and direct about our messaging. i guess that's what the buying and ministration considers to be. direct messaging. 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 is the charge at the u. s. justice department, which says bureau to more than a year, just to launch a probe the f b i has since acknowledge that it's handling the case was inexcusable. the medical has eventually sentenced to hundreds of years in prison for molesting children per tranquil 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

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 and the nass 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 allegations with the most seriousness and urgency that they deserved and required the action. 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

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 nasser led 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 for your ungloved hand all over my rear. 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,

field office, w. j abbott lied to the inspector general's office numerous times about the handling of the case and a bid 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 you're 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, 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.

europe is ditching fossil fuels. at least that's the intention on the new radical new plans. the proctors say will stop the sale of petrol powered cars and go carbon neutral all within the next decade. the overarching goal was and of course, is to make europe the very 1st climate neutral continent in the world. and to build a new growth strategy to get there, going green will come at a cost to new tax on goods coming into the new will be used to back local firms to make the switch to clean energy, environmental activists. though george bothered us think that this is the wrong time for such a move to a carbon budget for a good talk to 1.5 degrees, which is all the government claims. the aiming for that budget runs out in 2020 by 2027. that should be, if we want to say $1.00 degree, if there should be no competition. now obviously,

reaching that because we've delayed action is mainly because the lobbying from the industry and the revolving go between the corporation now looks like an impossible. that is actually what we should be aiming for. instead of aiming for their carbon is close to 70 responsible 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 like to climate change with thing. you're north america, chrome fire, the fire, the he's already a crime against you might have more, more delay when we need to real transformative action. you're watching international being shrubs. don't forget that. we've got plenty of stories as ever at a website. and you can find that at ocoee don't go.
