the the so maybe be the devastation and destruction of major cleanup operations on the way along with intense search and rescue efforts following torrential rain and deadly flooding in germany and belgium. more than a 100 people and many more lands the sicilian region of italy and of poverty crisis authorities, a warning the changing seasons will be the more challenging for local community. the u. s. accuses russia and china running smear campaigns against western bank things. but as washington issues more warnings about the side effects of its own jobs, we have someone who suffered severe convulsions after being inoculate. those full

body convulsed and tremors. brain fog has saved with me. i still have not recovered and returned to rationing people in south africa in full to q for essentially 200. the shelves were looted and rises. went on the run, doing the money to buy food for children. don't want to pay the rent where it was. so digging like what we're going to do now, because we've gotta get to going to do again, they're going to break the news very good evening. and thanks for joining us on our team. at least 150 people have lost their lives in flash flooding. that is devastated parts of western europe. todd towns, villages have been left in ruins. intense rescue efforts are underway with hundreds of people still unaccounted for. german chancellor angler michael is sent to visit

the disaster zone on sunday. while he's peter oliver sent this report devastation the world's been left in the wake of waters. the toll through towns like this one in western germany leader of the state of nor throwing westfall ya. and number one contender to be next, chancellor of germany and lash it is called the flood a historic disaster countries going through the flooding catastrophe on the historic scale. and almost as the waters have started to receive by into 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, where you can see it only does it destroyed everything is passed there, but on a molten house, just behind me pulling 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 him. from behind from all sides, i only had time to move away my car and it was all covered and was throw ready. it was quite bad. 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 full water. we had to sit upstairs in the bedroom and here we are now for been clean up and all too common fightin towns in this area of the belongings of people out on the side of the street salton from the fluid water, the tall and through the houses but another common sight, things like this cause tossed around as if they'd been toys the force in which the water came through these areas. really the evidence in just how much damage you was

able to cause and how easily it was able to pick up tons of metal and slow them one side of the flood waters ob, 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 on touch, but they are the ones in the minority of those not so lucky heart mclean can begs home was right in the path of the swollen river and the water came to this level level one and a half meters work. 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 says the years living here, it was unbelievable. the water seems to gather itself up in the mountains and then with one big wave come down and hit us here on the street right in front of us turned into white water rapids. just like

a ribbon. there were people in the basement were trying to get out, but from inside you could not open the door because of the more to 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 respected. and this was not done. it was dismissed is not a big deal. something that we could handle. i mean, you know, we did not have it on the control. man is so small against nature. here we see that so many people you don't expect people to die in a flood. in germany. you expect that may be in poor countries, but you don't expect to hear. it's unbelievable because i've heard a strange noise. so no was opening the front door and then the what was coming from everybody. and i just press hard, pushed 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 the searching for people and the 6 sludge shows you exactly where the water is reached. if we come up through this courtyard here, you can see some gas tanks over my right shoulder, 2000 and leases full gas. they're, thankfully the fields 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 those waters were over there over my left shoulder, where those washing machines are. they used to be a caravan that caravan is now here inside of the carriage, you can see through the other side of the ridge that the river flows exactly on the other side of the property that its hole in the wood off the side of the garrison told the concrete, as well as its moved its way through here, a force of nature that left a trail of destruction. while the human cost is still not being calculated,

the 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 that 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 west in germany. it's one that isn't over yet. peter, all of a r, t in west, in germany. the economic impact of trend of ours is left italy facing its highest poverty levels for 12 years and the numbers are still growing with masses of people out of work and businesses struggling just to survive. we heard from locals and one of the hardest hit regions love until they gave the until

a few years ago, i was an entre printer who gave work to 40 families. today i'm 60 years old and i feel humiliated. and i feel like analogy to us for arms at this age, charity to try to move forward. survive. much of the situation is dramatically. 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 they're new poor curing up trust for food. what a bad situation you're paying, so they don't have the 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, is trust for money and alimony. unfortunately, this is the current situation. this is the new reality. but we need to know those who had little money already have nothing left. and i get a worse for those who didn't 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 and very bad situation. well, latest figures show more than 5000000 people in italy and i live in what's called absolute poverty as defined as household income being below a level which makes it impossible for the personal families to meet basic needs of life, such as food and shelter. the category makes up almost 10 percent of the entire sicilian population, while another significant number of families live in relative poverty. little or 30 say it 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 regional leadership and the regional administration say yes sometimes because they keep saying no. i was told by some organizations that there affected because people who were donating a contribution to last year a poor now and seeking a contribution. therefore,

there are no doubt that the situation is really complicated. week economy like sicily was damaged by cobit. we've heard from one charity organization and paloma that supports people in nate as an inquest, 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 nazareth 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 the child who called asking for sultan because his father lost his job in his home. consequently, there are many such incidents were involved in the paris now and thousands are protesting, tied to new coded restrictions. this is what the french capital looks like. this

sense a day live in july, the government may vaccinations mandatory for health work is giving them a mid september deadline. and as of wednesday, people will need a so called health pass to visit certain public places showing that they were not related or recently had covey to pass the p. c. r. test as of early august and also need to help us to get into restaurants and cafes. and also she stablished on how to enforce paris protests from saying that they don't want to become quote, the virus to lease russia and china are undermining trust in western vaccines. in the bid to promote their own jobs, the claim being made by the white house which says misinformation is being used to exaggerate the risk of side effects from american and european nations. just how based in reality all delegations, l morrison, ripple's. 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 at 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 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. 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 my age of can. busy lead 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 to the white house, certainly made quite a few gaff 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 or see 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, professor of infectious diseases, william schaffner, believes that people must be made aware of all the tension 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, 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 who come forward for receiving the vaccines can make a clear choice. it's been dumped. the pink demick the case track and tre. sap that tells people to isolate if they've been there, a coven carrier. but it's led to hundreds of thousands of healthy people having to miss work and stay home. and aspire calls for the sensitivity of it to be adjusted . the health department is ruling out such changes. the sector itself has become a victim at the for the shortage of doctors and nurses leading to operations being canceled. and that being calls from the industry to allow a special exemption for medics. but the department of health insist the app is doing his job and reducing the career of our a spread questions of also be raised if the answer is actually even necessary. now, given the widespread rollout vaccine have a number of factor absence and work, including medical professionals, which is had a large impact. some service slippers makes no distinction between and

a work environment contacts wearing 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 whilst you are. so there are a number of the best in the affected and therefore had to miss work as a result. in many professionals, understandably removing the and accidentally had the pink, cosmetic, been very clear that they don't wish the physicians to do or anyone to believe yet . but always still, actually in the pandemic 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, having disconnected the wave of infection from the weight of death. why they should, we really have to us. we still in panic mode effectively. i really think we've

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 because infection rates soaring in the country, death is working overtime just last week, more than half a 1000000 people were pinged and told to isolate, and that figures only likely to grow with more than 26000000000 people having downloaded them. some industries are reporting up to 20 percent of the staff have been forced to stay home. we got reaction to the situation from people in london. totally support people relate to a moment. one's right to to be straight up in things stop isolate. and i can see the frustrations that people ha, so i can understand why some of the, the pick that is going to affect work while it is very disruptive at the moment. i'm very frustrating. it's, it's, it's necessary at the moment until

a better hold times if it's bad. i don't have the person the, i've never had it. and i just think it's a little bit point this personally, i mean if, if you come into contact with someone, you might have it. i mean then you decide later my going to 30 have any symptoms. so down it up. but then it was just giving roll information constantly throughout the whole process and has already been improved. much appreciate staying with our team one years after the shall break. ah join me every 1st day 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 the whatever the. ah, welcome back. huge cues. the full downside stores isn't africa. the panic blind

comes after a week of some of the worst violence seen in the country in decades. it's left hundreds of shops ransacked and looted. tensions exploded over the jailing of former president jacob, zoom on challenges of corruption, local speak of a desperate situation. there is not, i fear stuck, it's finished. i don't know what's going through 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. what's needed at home. what we have, i mean, shut off, just follow cupboards just to keep us going. but it's been a frustrating week due to the planning buying the 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 battery to get just one loaf of bread under the shops have been destroyed. finally, to local to the supposed to all themselves to defend the businesses. they say that the police have been overrun with in others, have lost everything loosely, reports on how a family from one of your hands looks poor. step, assist in coping. i'm hearing and exam township, which has seen some of the worst violence over the past few days. for shop, belonging to 15 brothers from outside, the country were destroyed downstairs. nothing amazed at the shop and 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 to do everything. don't have money to buy food for children now. don't have money to pay the rent where it was. so digging like, what are we going to do now? because you will start again, they're going to do again. they're going to break it again. so we're going to make a living room and it's clinical. and what's happening there and or in a closing my child, 7 o'clock. when i go to my room and i cooking cooking, we need to, i didn't finish 9 o'clock when it's coming here. type bitten, my shop, and baking to get my my done 500000 scope. now. brittany ditton, my clipping room, and i'm tending

a hiding my 10 or one corner people in the building my room damage. i think that i die. some of the brothers were sleeping here with the stock. the looters wrapped everything in sight. and as a lift, set the rumour lice, television sets, electronics, cellphones, clothing, money and passports. everything has gone among the tortured remains. there is nothing with salvaging and praying for god god. when i held man clothed only 5 did not leaving the place, nothing but a mega day. what fun it before the benefits office. i'm not really anything just nice to set my looking for this for deal. if i did the skip play, my ipad with the brothers came to south africa on bangladesh, looking for better life. he lost reverberates half way around the world. different

of me, my family's 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 south african the wyatt lost it only a few days. but 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 most african are now going hungry policy or r t, alexandra, he uses legal action against members days, hungary and poland over what it calls discrimination facing 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 of ponder. mental rights of l, g b t i q people several polish regions of adopted laws declaring themselves free of

what they call l g b. t ideology, separately, wall source constitutional court is now said it rejects decisions by the use court of justice and brussels has similar troubles with hunger as well when you, hon. gary, a lot of bands, depictions of homosexuality in educational materials and tv shows for the under 18 . the governments also water disclaimers be put on books featuring gay content, stating they contained behavior, inconsistent with traditional gender roles. and it seems, the local authorities perceived that little differently to the, you know, the europe in parliament and the european commission wanted to let the l g, b, t, q activists, and organizations in schools and kindergarten. hungary does not want that debate is 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 hungarians. 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. sure, let's go unless run the road 1st. felisa you. nice to wildness focus the question. also as an observer is why does you react on such as a question of single government in the pacific metric field, it will look at other metrics where government in the european union have violated law that you have not seen the 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 have the theme is government in depth

themselves. more than that, your regulations allowed no reaction in black the we have over 200000 non discipline passports for russian descendants who do not well enough the national language. whereas the you who called for a to the root of minority, etc. to say, oh, you're buying them today. don't forget to check out more new stories we have covered for you on our website at c, r t dot com. mm. ah, the brother driven by remote shaped by those in

me i think we dare to ask me. ah, you know, you don't always nice to number the number one we could do for you. i don't, i don't, i don't good down the phone that i've all use in the 40 only and then i get like i yeah, i mean that i think you all for me. but most of it from

your home. he just took a list of, went from a middle initial group and knew put that all along plenty porcelain additional screw to use the the the, the, the the, me

again. so when they say, why did you burn down the community? why do you know neighborhood are we don't own anything. we don't have anything. there is a social contract that we bought. but if you feel or i feel the person who is the authority come in and they fix the situation with a partner who waited on the contract, when you can definitely think about talking about how to get we played your game, your well concerning bernard and it still wouldn't be enough and they.
