the me the so maybe people during the devastation and destruction a major clean ups on the way along within 1030 and rescue of itself. the huge flooding in germany and belgium, more than a 100 people are dead and many more missing cobra land. the sicilian region of italy in a policy crisis and authorities war and the changing seasons will be even more challenging for local communities and a return to rationing people in south africa for the key for essential and off the hundreds of shops saluted off the ra, who's go on the rampage. ah,

why for most care, thanks for joining us tonight on, on the international. daniel hawkins with utah. sunrise. welcome to the program. now a state of emergency has been declared in the southeast german state of bavaria, at least a 150 people have lost their lives in flesh flooding. that devastated parts of western europe into towns and villages have been left in ruins. intense rescue efforts are underway with hundreds still unaccounted for. german chancellor, michael is set to visit his office own on sunday art. he's peter oliver sent us this report. devastation thus was being left in the wake of waters. the toll through towns like this one in western germany, leader of the state of nor throwing westfall and number one contender to be 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 that river flows just over my left ton shoulder here, 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 that my son called me last week and he said the bass into its flooded . we thought, oh okay, there goes to basement instead. and then a day later,

the whole flat with the water. 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 them through their 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 evident and just how much damage was able to cause and how easily it was able to pick up tons of metal and slow them one side for the flood waters are truly 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. others not so lucky. hartman clean can begs

home, was right in the path of the swollen river to come into the woods that came 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 here. it was unbelievable. the water seem to gather itself up in the mountains and then with one big wave come down and hit us hill. the street right in front of us turned into white water rapids just like a river. there were people in the basement we're 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 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 i'm believable because i've heard a strange noise. so there was opening the front door and then the water was coming from everybody and i just pressed 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 searching for people. and the magic sic sludge show 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 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 those 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. the hole in the wood off the side of the garbage and told the concrete as well as its moved its way through here, a force of nature that's left a trail of destruction, of the human cost is still not being calculated. it's not real 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

weekend buildings. well, 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 impacts of the corona virus has left italy facing its highest policy levels for 12 years. numbers is still continuing to grow as well, with masses of people out of work. and businesses struggling to survive from local is in one of the hardest hit regions. and 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 and 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, but a bad situation, your pain. so the question of this, it is total destruction. it's a situation that is truly frightening. the number of poor people is increased. they line up to ask for 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 had little money already have nothing left and i get a horse who bought those who did not have a job and already financially struggling, now cannot even pay their rent. i know people from this neighborhood who were well off and no back farms have very bad situation. latest figures show more than 5000000 people in italy now live in absolute poverty. not define of household income being below level, which makes it impossible for the person or family to meet basic needs of life, such as food and shelter. got 3,

makes up almost 10 percent of the entire city and population. while i'm at a significant number of families live in relative poverty, local authorities say it's a desperate situation. we've discovered the new poverty, which is terrible. there are too many new pull people who didn't used to be for having serious psychological consequences. i want to make an appeal, i will keep making the original leadership and the regional administration say yes, sometimes because they keep saying no, i was told by some organizations that they are affected because people who are donating a contribution on to last year, a poor. now and seeking a contribution, therefore, there are no doubt the situation is really complicated. a week economy like sicily was damaged by coded. we heard from once our organization and palermo that supports people in need. there is an inquest request is 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 a for example,

one incident that particular struck me was about one couple. they asked for sultan christmas eve. we imagined them like the now the wrist family coming and asking for help. in these situations, we host of these people in a, b, and b to give them a certain dignity. another incident concerned, a child too cold, asking for sultan because his father lost his job and his home. consequently, there are many such incidents were involved in that i need to paris our 1000 protested against titan. you covered restrictions. this is what the french capital looked like on saturday. earlier in july, the government made vaccinations mandatory for health workers, giving them a mid september deadline. and from wednesday, people will need a so called health path to visit certain public places showing they were recently not recently had coded or past. apc are set for monday, august that also need to help us to get into restaurants and cafes. owners of such establishment were out in force at the paris protest from saying that i want to

become the virus. police. are problem figures in the yellow s movement on the french presidential candidate is actually moreover thinks that everyone should be free to choose whether or not to get vaccinated trumps even. yes, good this coffee. i believe that there are only french people and frank were emanuel microns. he's vaccinated unvaccinated people. i only see french people. you shouldn't forget that not everyone who hasn't had the job or against the vaccine. it's just the opposite. any. i'm not against it at all, but i want to be free to choose and give an informed decision. of course. all downs have consequences, but why they impose because the government is unable to handle the crisis properly . it's been the pandemic case truck and trace up that tells people to isolate if they've been near a cobit carrier lead to hundreds of thousands of healthy people having to miss work and stay at home despite calls for its sensitivity to be adjusted. the health

department is ruling out any changes. the health care sector itself has become a victim of the ap, with a shortage of doctors and nurses leading to operations being canceled. they've been calls from the industry to and our special exemption for medics. the department of health, those is the app, is doing its job and reducing the corona virus spread. questions of also res, if the app is actually even necessary. now, given the widespread rollouts, all vaccines have a number of factor absence and works 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 count 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 and the best in the affected, and therefore had to miss work as a result. in many professionals,

understandably remain in the app. so they didn't accidentally have a pink because i've been very clear that they don't wish physicians to do, or anyone to delete the app, but always still actually independent mac 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. i think we really have to work with those. we still in panic mode 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 with code infection rates soaring in the country. the apps working over time last week and more than half a 1000000 people were paying been told to isolate, and that figures likely to grow with more than 26000000 people having downloaded

the app. some industries are reporting that up to 20 percent of staff have been forced to stay at home. got reaction to the current situation from people in london . probably for people to leave for a moment. one's right to to be straight up in things stop isolate. i can see the frustrations that people ha, so i can understand why some of the picnic is going to affect work. wallet is very disruptive at the moment and very frustrating. it's, it's, it's necessary to move it until a better times if it's bad. i don't have the person the i've never had it. and i just think it is the point. this personally, i mean if, if you come into contact with someone, you might have it. i mean then you decide later on this 30 have any symptoms. so down it up, but then it was just giving world information to me throughout the whole process

and has already been in for much. your wasn't on teams and ashley will join us for one years after this short break. oh, we live in an age now where the supply side of the equation is broken. nowhere entering into the supply shocks where there could be microchips, for example, or basic commodities or sharply. there's a food insecurity now by hundreds of millions of people around the world and just emerging over the past 12 months because of it's runaway inflation because of the runaway money printing as we've been bank for a few years. so now people are really coming to grips with the fact that as the reports been right about it, what's next? rather driven daydreamer shaped by those

in me the dares thing. we dare to ask oh, well, come back to the program, choose choose a form now. so and stores in south africa, panic blind comes a week of some of the was gone and see the country in decades leading hundreds of shops ransacked. tensions exploded over the jailing of for president jacob zoom or corruption charges local residents and workers speak of a desperate situation. there is not, i fear stock, 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 to 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. hundreds of shops have been destroyed by the looted some local with 7 force on themselves to defend their businesses. the police are overrun before the reports on our family from one of john is books,

poorest areas has been coping. i'm hearing that exam township, which has seen some of the worst violence over the past few days. for soft belonging to 15 brothers from outside the country were destroyed. downstage, nothing remains of the shop. and upstairs, where the brother lived 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 electronic grocery 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 we're going to, going to do again, they're going to break it again. so where are we going to make a living room and

a school and what's happened there? and or, and aid? closing my child 7 o'clock. when i go to my room and i cooking cooking community, i didn't finish 9 a club, people coming here, type bitten my shop and begging 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 and some of the brothers were sleeping here with the stock. the looters grabbed everything in sight and as they lift, set the room alight, television sets, electronics, cellphones, clothing, money and passports. everything has gone among the torch remains these nothing with

salvaging and praying for god. god and i have a man in clothes, 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 deal. if i did the skip in my past, the budget came to south africa from bangladesh and looking for better life, a loss reverberates half way around the world. different of me, my family's from this part of my family's kind hungry. when i'm making money, i eating my family eating now now making money parties loading my family hungry as many south african the riot lasted only a few days at shops on mt off to being looted. others a boarded up and delivery trucks refusing to risk,

bringing in more supplies. so on top of everything, if more south african are now going hungry policy or r t, alexandra they use last legal action against the misstates, hungary and poland. what it calls discrimination facing the l g b t. community. europe will never allow parts of both 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, or several polish regions have adopted law the hiring themselves free or what they call l g b t. ideology separately was source confusion. court has now said it rejects any decisions by the use top court of justice on that matter. brussels has similar troubles with hungry as well. a new one gary in law bands, depictions of homosexuality in educational materials and tv shows for those on the age of a team. the government has all sort of disclaimers we put on books featuring gay

content states making same behavior inconsistent with traditional gender roles. it seems the local authorities perceive their laws differently to the you. you can 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 founding treaties, this question evidently, falls under the competence of the hungarians. it is a national competence. the law has primacy over national law and all decisions by the european court of justice, including orders for interim measures, are binding on member states authorities and national court 0 political alice rayner office, believes that you need to widen the focus the question for me also as an observer

is why does the e u, excuse me react on such as a trend, ration of single government in only pacific not to feel if we look at other metric fields where government in the european union have violated law and the 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 have the theme government in depth to themselves. more than that, you regulation allowed no reaction in black the we have over 200000 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 minorities, etc. well, you might be conducting some of my mistake,

so i have a controversial issues, but at the same time is giving a full backing to others such as lithuanian, which is placed barbed wire at the border with better. ruth and passed tough and margaret measures were ready to strengthen our level of support and deploy more european standing cole. offices and equipment were speeding up and beefing up what was already planned. and enclose. score formation with a list of waiting authorities were preparing. furthermore, a rapid border intervention, lithuanian border is our common external border and front tech stands ready to help when needed. hundreds of migrants have illegally crossed into the way here from federal in recent weeks. joining me around, $1700.00 people who've been already detained at the board of this year. village has accused but a roof of deliberately shipping foreign margaret to the border. claimants that live if we're going to thirties have also committed the mass, the tension of those warrants losing their right to appeal and the use thoughtfully

. she marks a shift in policy in 2015 hungary fortified expenses on the borders with croatia. and serbia. claiming that when 2 years it had helped cover the inflow of margaret's by almost a 100 percent. russell's condemned hungary running smooth racists and a phobic. there were also suggestions the country should be forced out of the block . we discuss the issue with serbian american journalists, new bush message, their carving out an exception for, for wayne ya and it's border wall because it decides to deal with bella ross it's, they're dealing with the exact theme immigrants, even their don carrion's bill to the border fence to stop the well, not just people from the middle east, but general things to put it up to stop people from serbia. they put it up to stop the syrians, the rockies. afghans focused on ease of africans and so on who were using that particular route to get into the you. it's who does it as well as whom it is done to if the move is aimed against the designated enemies, in this case, bella luce,

then okay, it's fine whatever. but if it's aimed against the designated victims or to designate do gooders, in this case, you know, poor migrants from the 3rd world only coming to realize their basic human rights by getting onto european union welfare. then of course, that's horrible, terrible, racist, moral, etc. the whole point of my write up is that there is no moral consistency except the moral absolutes of who, who may call the united states. but some of those states and becoming increasingly restive, new polling is found that a growing number of americans want to break away and form a new nation. when with half a little democrats surveyed along the west coast off leaving, while some 2 thirds of republicans in the south was the same for the succession of texas are certainly nothing new either with a state representative from tabling a bill to make it possible at the end of last year,

the federal government is asked to control and doesn't represent the values of texans. that is why i'm committing to fall legislation that allow a referendum to give texans a vote for the state of texas to reassert its status as an independent nation. or polling on us succession support. so that has been a marked uptake since january the think that they donald trump's borders right in the capital building. what reaction from libertarian activists? spike kevin, that's not a republican or democrat problem, that is a, a washington dc bravo. saying i want to succeed from the us more often than not, they're not actually necessarily saying i don't want to be a part of the us. that's more of a reflection of discontent with the status quo. they're saying i am sick of seeing what i'm seeing around me. i'm sick of locked downs. i'm sick of the taxes. i'm sick of the cost of living spiraling out of control. i'm sick of not being able to afford housing or higher education or health care. and i want something different when things like that happen, an increasing number of americans say,

i don't even want to be a part of this anymore. so i think it's much more macro things, much more major things that are affecting all of us that have happened like that. and this is something that's been boiling over for a long time. so dissatisfaction with the status quo is basically an abode of no competence. says you're in for the cause a report. next we're back in half an hour. the latest join us again that me the join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, business and show business. i'll see you then in she was simply real thing a little slow, letting them go by susan. well, the girls can go and see me when you

switch. can you hear me in the room initial but they didn't explain spelled on the one that was gonna look at me. me on the screen. you soon this news looking here, when you finish the mental typical chemical illusion initially thinking gripped on the, on the financial young hoody an illusion you lose could you could shoot it to the lower the news. the

hi my guys are this is the kaiser report, did you enjoy those 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 know, 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's 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. we've seen only inflation numbers here over 5 percent. the highest and a very long time since 2000 they but container freight rate spike to new extremes. up 500 percent for asia u. s. asia, you.
