central europe and todd towns and villages have been left in ruins. many more people are still missing as intense rescue efforts continue. german chance langley medical is set to visit the disaster zone on sunday. the speed oliver sent this report devastation thus was being left in the wake of waters that told through towns like this one in western germany leader of the state of nor throwing west farm and number one contender to the next chancellor of germany and lush. it is called the flood a historic disaster countries going through flooding, catastrophe on the historic scale, almost moss, as the waters have started to recede by to something close to their normal levels, you can see the trail of destruction that's being left by the flood that ripped through towns like this one, these old buildings that were in the past didn't stand much of a chance. the river flows just over my left ton shoulder here,
7:03 am
where you can see it only does it destroyed everything is caught there. but on a molten house, just behind me, torn half of the side of the building off in some places in the flooded region, the clean up has been able to start. i was here, i just finished cleaning up stock was about to sit down to enjoy a cup of coffee. when it all started, suddenly the water came flooding him 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 and my son called me last week and he said the bass into its flooded. we thought, oh okay, there goes to 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 a big, clean up an all too common fight in towns in this area of the belongings of people out on the side of the street sultan from the fluid war to the toll. and through that, how is it? but another common sight, things like this cause tossed around as if they'd been toys. the force in which the
7:04 am
water came through these areas really evident and just how much damage was able to cause and how easily it was able to pick up tons of metal. and slow the one side for the flood waters, cruelly indiscriminate. while some places have been utterly destroyed, others have been incredibly lucky, just meters away from those places that have been ruined. some houses left pretty much untouched, but they are the ones in the minority. others not so lucky. hartman clean can begs home, was right in the path of the swollen river to come into the woods again to this level one and a half meters. water then spilled over with all of the strength of what would have been in the river as well, and headed over towards that house over there. does food. i've not experienced that in 30 years, living him, it was unbelievable. the water seemed to gather itself up in the mountains and then
7:05 am
with one big wave come down and hit us here. the st right in front of us turned into white water rapids. just like a river. there were people in the basement were trying to get out, but from inside you could not open the door because of the water pushing against it . this is terrible. we had very good information, but people did not listen. they ignored it and they did not listen to it. we were told that we were going to have pretty bad weather. and from year to year it gets worse. you just have to accept it and respect it. and this was not done. it was dismissed is not a big deal. something that we could handle, you know, we did not have it on the control. man is so small against nature. here we see it. so many people you don't expect people to die in a flood. in germany, you expected maybe in poor countries, but you don't expect to hear. it's unbelievable because i've heard a strange noise. so there was opening the front door and then the water was coming
7:06 am
from. we had just press hard to push hard to close the door and then needed to help my son and together we could close the door. there's so many tragedies, so many lives which are gone now and as such. and for people, and the magic sic flood shows you exactly where the water is reached. if we come up through the courtyard here, you can see some gas tanks over my right shoulder, 2000 and leases full gas there. thankfully the seals on those tanks didn't for a cause. they were picked up and jostled around by the flood waters that came through here. put into perspective a little bit of just how ferocious waters were over there over my left shoulder, where those washing machines are. they used to be a caravan caravan, is now here inside of the ridge, you can see through the other side of the ridge that the river flows exactly on the other side of the property. there a hole in the wood off the side of the garbage and told the concrete as well as its
7:07 am
moved its way through here, a force of nature that's left a trail of destruction. while the human cost is still not being calculated of this natural disaster. when it eventually get thrown, to calculating the financial cost of what's happened to throw it into the hundreds of millions of euro. if not more, what we are seeing at the moment, those towns like this one completely evacuated because the biggest fear of the authorities is the more rain could see those water levels rise again. already recon building swells, they could then be the next ones that end up collapsing. and this is certainly a devastating natural disaster that struck western germany. it's warming isn't over yet. peter, all of a r t in west in germany. the economic impact of corona virus has left italy facing its highest poverty levels for 12 years. the numbers are still
7:08 am
continuing to grow as well, with masses of people out of work and businesses struggling to survive. we heard from locals and one of the hardest regions so they gave the until a few years ago, i was an entrepreneur who gave work to 40 families. today i'm 60 years old and i feel humiliated. i feel like analogy to us for arms at this age charity to try to move forward to survive. to go up. the situation is dramatic. there are people who previously had shops and restaurants now have to close everything. they can no longer reopen because they have no more money. many people have turned to charities and their new poor, queuing up trust for food. what a bad situation you're paying, so they don't have the so, so just total destruction. it's a situation that is truly frightening. the number of poor people is increased. they line up to africa, food it is terrifying. they also go to church, his trust for money and alimony. unfortunately, this is the current situation. this is the new reality. so when you know those who
7:09 am
had little money already have nothing left and i get a horse to those who did not have a job and already financially struggling now cannot even pay their rent. i know people from this neighborhood well off and no back farms have very bad situation. latest figures show the more than 5000000 people in italy now live in absolute poverty. and that is defined as household income below a level that makes it impossible for the personal family to me. basic needs of life, such as food and shelter. the category likes up almost 10 percent of the entire sicilian population. another significant number of families live in relative poverty. local authority say that this is a desperate situation. we've discovered the new poverty which is terrible. there are too many new poor people who didn't used to be poor, having serious psychological consequences. i want to make an appeal, i will keep making the original leadership and the regional administration say yes,
7:10 am
sometimes because they keep saying no. i was told by some organizations that they are affected because people who were donating a contribution on to last year, a poor. now and seeking a contribution, therefore, there are no doubt of the situation is really complicated. a week economy like sicily was damaged by cobit. well, we heard from a charity organization in palermo that supports people in need of numerous food requests. indeed, manufacturer was asking foot all the families asking for shelter because they not have a job anymore. people have started sending emails to requesting aid. for example, one incident that particular struck me was about one couple. they asked for sultan christmas eve. we imagined them like the now there is family coming and asking for help. in these situations, we hosted these people in a, b, and b to give them a certain dignity. another incident concerned a child to cold, asking for sultan because his father lost his job in his home. consequently,
7:11 am
there are many such incidents were involved in russia and china, undermining trust in western vaccines and the bids to promote their own jobs. thus, the client being made by the white house that says miss information is being used to exaggerate the risk of side effects from us and european made shots. but just how based in reality, all those allegations. caleb moore, with ex closer look 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 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
7:12 am
associated with western vaccines. this is what the, what the information some of this misinformation 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 i. it's also worth noting that on this
7:13 am
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 my age of can. busy lead to be vaccinated after the summer. so very far i decided to make us initially 9 most. now when it comes to damaging information about the vaccines, 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 do you 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 multiple cases of severe side effects have been reported wrong. kovak sees one example is angeline the self case,
7:14 am
which 1st came to global attention. when she received the 5 job back in january, you may find some of these images coming up distressing. and julius sun shared videos on facebook showing his mother shaking violently in hospital post fax nation . he said that she suffered severe convulsions. soon after getting the shot in louisiana. speaking to auntie angela said that she had no prior significant health issues and claims. the us government is turning a blind eye to people like her. how do i know that i would have lost the use of my legs and would have been tara law. i never would have said there was never the no inform content. what so ever about the side effects that there was definitely not. 1 enough of awareness about page this could happen. see those full body convulsions, tremors, brain on tests. they believe me,
7:15 am
i'm 6 and a half months out. now. i still have not recovered. if i do not take diver mentioned daily, my symptoms come right back. we are completely brushed aside, and i think that's only because our government is trying to get to heard immunity and they're not going to address us. alright, knowledge until they reach their goal, a vaccination, if it's a professor of infectious diseases, william schaffner believes that people must be made aware of all potential side effects so that they can make balance decisions. when you educate the population, you have to tell them all about the benefits of the vaccines and you must be very clear about the side effects also. so they're not surprised and disappointed. every vaccine in the vaccine that we use has side effects. fortunately,
7:16 am
most of the side effects are very brief. they're very mild. they're our occasional rare, serious side effects. we must know about them and we must be transparent about them so that the people come forward for receiving the vaccines can make a clear choice. nurse been dubs the pink demick the case track and tray south. it tells people to isolate if they've been near a covey carrier. but it's also led to under the thousands of healthy people having to miss work and stay at home. and despite calls for sensitivity to be adjusted, health department is ruling out any changes and health care sector itself has become a victim of the shortage of doctors and nurses leading to operations being canceled . i've been calls from the industry to allow a special exemption for medics, but the department of health insist they are doing its job on reducing the spread of corona. virus. questions have also been raised if the app is actually even
7:17 am
necessary now, given the widespread rollout of vaccines, have a number of factor absence and works including medical professionals, which is had a large impact some service slippery. makes no distinction between in a work environment, contacts where in full perfect equipment or outside of that environment. and one is unable to cow, where the contact came from is extremely easy to accidentally forget to turn off the notifications and tracking on the walls. you are, so there are a number of the state and the best in the affected, and therefore had to miss work as a result. so many professionals, understandably, remain in the app, so they don't accidentally have a pink government been very clear that they don't wish the physician to do or anyone to believe the up, but always still actually independent mich tracking and tracing up with part of installation. they just don't, we didn't have any protection against this infection. but now having got the vaccination, having protected the own elderly and the vulnerable,
7:18 am
having disconnected the wave of infection from the weight of death. i think we really have to work with we still in and then it load effectively. i really think we already got to the point where we're not really injecting those measures of track trace isolate social distance thing people are at the point where they've virtually back to normal. always covered infection. re soaring, get in the country. the app is spin, working overtime. last week, more than half a 1000000 people were pinged and told to isolate, not figure is only likely to grow. with 126000000 people having downloaded the app . some industries are reporting up to 20 percent of the staff had been forced to stay at home. we go reaction to the current situation from people in london. probably for people who fill in a moment. one's right to to be straight up and things stop isolate
7:19 am
and i can see the frustrations that people ha, so i can understand why some of the lead a particular effect work. well, it is very disruptive at the moment. i'm very frustrating. it's it's, it's necessary at the moment until a better times if it's bad. i don't have the person the, i've never had it. and i just think that as a point, this personally, i mean if, if you come into contact with someone, you might have it. i mean, then you decide later you might not have any symptoms, so down it up, but then it was just giving roll information constantly and throughout the whole process it has already been in for much. ok more news coming up here in 90 after the show back. oh, the german adrian shaped banker. senator was in
7:20 am
me the dares thing. we dare to ask me. we live in an a now where the supply side of the equation is broken, knower entering into the supply shocks where there could be micro chips for example, or basic commodities or sharply. there's a food insecurity now by hundreds of millions of people around the world just emerging over the past 12 months because of this runaway inflation because of the runaway money print thing as we've been bank for a few years. so now people are really coming to grips with the fact that as the
7:21 am
reports been right about it, what the welcome back. huge cues who formed outside stores in south africa. the panic buying comes after a week of some of the worst violence seen in the country in decades is left hundreds of shops ransacked and looted tensions exploded over the jailing of former presidents, jacob, sumo on corruption charges, local, speak of a desperate situation. there is not, i fear stock is finished. i don't know what's going to it's with my tad. i've got this my life for me. even in my life, i can buy this more thing like this because of this thing, i don't know what's going to do for the next 2 months. we're just trying to see what we can get to what's needed at home. what do i mean?
7:22 am
shut off, just follow cupboards just to keep us going. because it's been a frustrating week due to the planning buying. there is a shortage of bread ingredients. people are waiting in the cues for a long while. and it's actually sad to see that some bread trucks have been taken down and been thrown into the river. there are a lot of people out there, old young, sickly, that factoring to get just one loaf of bread. hundreds of shops have been destroyed by looters. some locals have been supposed to arm themselves to defend their business is saying the police are simply over run by incidents of literally loss everything. these polar sleigh reports on our family from one of johannesburg poorest areas has been coping. i'm hearing an exam township, which has seen some of the worst violence over the past few days. for soc belonging to 15 brothers from outside,
7:23 am
the country were destroyed. downstage nothing remains the shot an upstairs where the brother live and store they products. everything had been burned. the brothers were lucky to escape with a live, but white now the brothers on feeding lucky, 25 years of work and savings gone up in flames. doing this on the electronics to groceries when you come, when you come to brick, everything that took everything. don't have money to buy food for children. no, no, no money to pay the rent where it was so digging like what are we going to do now? because that again, they're going to do again, they're going to break it again. so when we got to what is up to my living room and it's total and what's happened there and, or in a closing my child, 7 o'clock. when i go to my room and i cooking cooking finished, i didn't finish 9 o'clock when it's coming here. type bitten my shop
7:24 am
and begging to get my my done 500000 stuff. now, brittany ditton boom to do my flipping room. and i'm tending a hiding my center one corner people in the building, my room damage. i think some of the brothers were sleeping here with the stock, lucius grabbed everything in sight. and as a lift set the room alight. television sits, electronics, cellphones, clothing, money and passports. if we thing has gone among the torch remains, there is nothing with salvaging and praying for god. god and i held men poor. that includes only 5 days in no sleeping place, nothing but a mega day. what fun made before the benefits office. i'm now
7:25 am
really anything just nice to set my looking for deal. if i did some for the skip play and my past, the brothers came to south africa on bangladesh and looking for better life. the last reverberates halfway around the world. didn't know me. my family is from this part of my family's credit and hungry. when i'm making money, i eating my eating. now not making money, all is loading. my family are hungry. as many thought african, the wife lasted only a few days at shops on mt off to being looted. others are boarded up, and delivery trucks are refusing to, with bringing in most supplies. so on top of everything, if a more stop african are now going hungry policy or r t, alexandra the e u has lost legal action against member states,
7:26 am
hungary and poland over water calls a discrimination facing the l. g b t. community. europe will never allow parts of our 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. so what's happening, several polish regions have adopted laws declaring themselves free of g b t. ideology. furthermore, was constitutional court has now said it rejects decisions by the use court of justice and brussels has similar troubles with hungry as well. and you hunger in law bands, depictions of homosexuality and educational materials and tv shows for the under eighteens. the governments also order disclaimers put some books featuring gay content, stating that they contained behavior, inconsistent with traditional gender roles. and it seems that the local authorities perceive their laws differently to the european parliament. and the european
7:27 am
commission wanted to let the l g, b, t, q activists, and organizations in schools and kindergarten. hungary does not want that debate about who decides which way we should be the children, according to the european funding treaties. this question evidently, falls under the competence of the hungarian was. it is a national competence. v you law has primacy over national law and all decisions by the european court of justice, including orders for interim measures or binding on member states authorities and national court. geopolitical analysts or wrote 1st believes that the you need to widen its focus. the question for me also as an observer is, why does the you react on such as a ration of single government in only specific metric
7:28 am
field? we look at other metric fields where governments in the european union have violated 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. if you read off that you do or have in theme government in depth to themselves, more than that, you regulation allowed, no reaction in lab, we have over $200000.00 non task force for russian descendants who do not speak well enough. the national language, whereas the you who called for by a to the rule of minority, etc. okay. so, flicking around a 100 way of landed, this is our team to national the ground if you can of day off and me
7:29 am
7:30 am
hi, i'm back guys. are this is the kaiser report? did you enjoy the summer solutions? yeah, i know i did. well, it's time to get back into the problems. so let's turn to stacey. right. well, you now the fad had better hope the solution to inflation is just time because remember, they keep on saying it is transitory. well, their usual solution is giving more and more money. the treasury is always giving more money, congress more and more money. so we're going to look at what some of the results that have come out while we've been gone for the past 2 weeks. they're see now inflation numbers have over 5 percent. the highest and a very long time since 2008. but container freight rate spike to new extremes up 500 percent for a.
