law firm oscar. what's your international with me? daniel hawkins, with beautiful sunrise. welcome to the program. state of emergency has been declared in the southeast german city of bavaria. at least a 170 people have lost their lives in flesh flooding. the devastated parts of western europe. entire towns and villages have been left in ruins. intense rescue efforts are underway with hundreds still unaccounted for. we can cross live now to a european correspondent piece of oliver. for more on this, he's been following. close to that piece of your at the see. what more can you tell us about leave the state of emergency that's been declared him a barrier bond. currently speaking to you from cologne in the west of germany, where those floods did cause so much. have it called between wednesday through to, to of,

to friday. still continuing efforts on going in this area of the country to try and find people who are still missing. following the roof rains coming in this area on wednesday. now on saturday evening through to sunday morning, it's the south east of germany that is being battered by heavy heavy rain in the state of the ferry, the beck, this guy, the agent, has declared a state of emergency that was after by around 10 o'clock, 1030 on saturday evening they seen record levels of water in that area with the funding at 3.50 meters. that's a record of beating the previous record. it was 3.12 meters set back in 20 back in 2012. now what we're seeing is basically rivers, the 1st buying flash, floating torrance, of water flowing through towns and villages. the, the message is that people should stay away from the river banks as you would

imagine, but also stay out of sellers of basement lower floors of houses in particular. we've also seen people being rescued by helicopter, from areas in the, in that particular parts of bavaria, which has been hit by these floods. and it's not just that state that's being effected in germany a little bit further to the north in the state of saxony, where the saxon tries national park is. there's also serious problems there as well where people have to be evacuated from the town of fi shots out. they are receiving huge amounts of rainfall. their receipts of emergency in play and train services have been suspended between that area and the czech republic. it's just on the border as torrential rain comes down and continues to fall throughout sunday morning for it's been started inside the evening continuing through sunday morning australia as well also suffering at the hands of this latest heavy,

heavy downpour of rain just to the south of the city of salzburg, some dramatic footage coming out of towns there in which while the river, his basically runs straight through the whole town and extreme flush flooding, blowing out windows and, and taking everything that within those, those buildings out into the street and, and into the torrent of water as well. so that's the, and course the, the austrian chancellor has said it's all measures will be taken to keep people safe to get people out of areas that are, that are particularly dangerous following these the storms. and also that he stands in support with thirds and says they will support those areas to rebuild. but this is very much an ongoing situation in the, the south east, the east and southeast of germany, as well as in parts of austria as well. what we are going to see is the german chancellor angular miracle arrived here in the west of germany on a sunday,

she's going to be visiting some of the scenes that were worst hit before the weekend. of course, she's going to end up talking about those areas that have been hit in the country over the weekend. but i spend some time in the villages that were in the west of germany that were caught up so badly in the flooding and a fall. this report devastation that was being left in the wake of waters that told through towns like this one and west in germany, leader of the state of nor throwing with folio and number one contender to the next chancellor of germany and lash. it is called the flood a historic disaster countries going through flooding, catastrophe on the historic scale, almost moss, as the waters of started to recede 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 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 laying 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 in 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 full 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 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 water came through these areas really evident in just how much damage was able to cause and how easily it was able to pick up tons of metal and slower than 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 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 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 was the same thing, gather itself up in the mountains and then with one big way come down and hit us hill street right in front of us turned into white water rapids just like a reba. there were people in the basement were trying to get out, but from inside you could not open the door because of the more too 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 under 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 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 says searching for people and the magic tick 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,

the river flows exactly on the other side of the property that its 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, destruction. well, 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, 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 weakened 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 warm and isn't over yet. peter, all of a r t in west in germany. the economic impacts of the corona virus has left

recently hastening its highest policy level for 12 years and i was still continuing to grow as well, with cases of matters of people out of work and businesses struggling to survive from local. it's been one of the hardest head regions live until 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 all of this h. charity to try to move forward to survive. much of 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 i don't know if this is 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. but when you know those who had little money already have nothing left and i get a war for those who did not have a job and already financially struggling, now cannot even pay their rent. i know people from this neighborhood have a well off and now back forms have very bad situation. latest figures show more than 5000000 people in italy now live in absolute policy. to find a household income being pull our level, which makes it impossible for the person or family to meet basic needs of life. so just food or shelter, got to re max up almost 10 percent of the entire student population. and other significant number of families live in relative poverty. local authorities say is a desperate situation. we've discovered the new poverty, which is terrible. there are too many new pole 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 there affects it because people who were 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, it was damaged by cody. we heard from once our organization and palermo that supports people need from there's an increased food request is indeed manifest 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, the 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 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 the paris an hour, thousands of protested against ty, certain you covered restrictions. this is what the france capital looked like on saturday, only in july, the government made vaccinations mandatory for health workers giving the mid september deadline. and from wednesday, and people will need so called health policy to visit certain public places showing they were not created recently had coded or passed a p c r test for money almost. i also need to how fast to get into restaurants and cafes. owners of such establishment were out in force at the paris protest. some saying that i want to become the virus police. a prominent figure in the yellow vest movement on the french presidential candidate, there is actually moreover thinks that everyone should be free to choose whether or not to get back to that truck. yet, could they coffee?

i believe that they're only french people and frank were a manual ma, crohn's, 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 end. i'm not against it at all. but i want to be free to choose and give an informed decision. of course, i don't have consequences, but why they impose because the government is unable to handle the crisis properly . because it was, you know, had actually stayed with us for more news after this short break. ah . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy foundation, let it be an arms race is on, often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, a very critical time. time to sit down and talk

with me. ah, the ah welcome back. it's been dumped. the pink demick, the u. k. truck and trace out,

but sales people to isolate if they've been near the co would carry it, lead to hundreds of thousands of healthy people having to miss work and stay at home despite cools, for sensitivity, be to be reduced to the health department is ruling out any changes the health care sector itself has become a victim of the with a shortage of doctors and nurses leading to operations being canceled. they've been calls from the industry to allow a special exemption from medics. the department of health, though in the app, is doing its job and reducing the crew of our spread questions have also been raised if the app is actually even necessary. now, given the widespread rollout of vaccine have a number of factor absence and works including medical professionals, which is had a large impact and service slippery. makes no distinction between and 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 most you are. so there are number and the best in the affected and therefore had to miss work as a result. in many professionals, understandably removing the app, so they didn't accidentally have the pink government been very clear that they don't wish physicians to do or anyone to believe the up. but always still actually independent mich tracking and tracing up with parts of isolates. and 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 us, 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 with co infection rate soaring in the country, the apps working overtime last week, more than half a 1000000 people were pinging, been told twice like that think it's only likely to grow with more than 26000000 people having downloaded the app. some industries reporting that the 20 percent of their staff been forced to stay at home. we got response to the current situation from people across london. totally. so for people to leave a moment, everyone's right to to be straight up and things stop isolate. and i can see the frustrations that people ha, so i can understand why some of the, the particular effect work. well, it is very disruptive at the moment. i'm very frustrating. it's, it's, it's, it's necessary to move it 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 this is the point this me, 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, it's giving wrong information constantly throughout the whole process. it hasn't really been improved much huge, choose a form outside stores in south africa, the panic blank. i was off for a week of some of the worse vaughn and seen in the country in decades leading hundreds of shops ransacked. tensions exploded over the jailing of for president j consumer on corruption charges, local residents and workers speak of a desperate situation. there is not, i fear stuck, it's finished. i don't know what's going on with my tad. i've got this much live 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. hundreds of sharps have been destroyed by looters. some logos have been forced on themselves to defend their business. a thing police are overrun. who honestly reports how and how family, from one of your highest 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 shop, belonging to 15 brothers, from outside the country were destroyed. downstage nothing amazed at 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 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 we will start again, they're going to do again. they're going to break it again. so where are we going? what that is to make a living room and it's going on and what's happened there? and in a closing my child, 7 o'clock, when i go to my room and i cooking cooking finished, i eating, 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 alive, television sits, electronics, cell phones, clothing, money, and passports. everything has gone. among the torch remains, there's nothing worth salvaging and praying for god. god and i held man. clothed only 5 days in not having played nothing but would make it a what fun it before the benefits office, i'm not really anything that's nice to set my looking for deal. if i

did the skip in my past, the budget came to south africa from bangladesh. looking for better life, he lost reverberates halfway around the world. they've been 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 not making money, bodies losing my family hungry. as many south african the wife lasted only a few days, but shops are empty off to being looted. others are boarded up and delivery trucks are refusing to, with bringing in most applies. so on top of everything ever more south african on know going hungry t r t, alexandra the you might be condemning some of my mistakes. i've a controversial issues, but at the same time is giving its full backing to others such as lithuania, which is placed barbed wire. it's border with batteries and past tough

t. margaret motors. we're ready to strengthen our level of support and deploy more european standing cole. offices and equipment were speeding up and briefing up what was already planned. and enclose cooperation with the list of waiting authorities were preparing. furthermore, a rapid border intervention. lithuanian border is common external border and front tech stands ready to help when needed. hundreds of migrants of illegally crossed into the way from bella. ruth, in recent weeks joining me around. $1700.00 people have already been detained at the board of this year. illness is acute batteries of deliberately shipping foreign margaret to the border. a claim means the noise is waiting. authorities have also permitted the mass detention of those margaret limiting their right to appeal and the you stance a marx, a shift and policy back in 2015 hungary fortified it centers on the board of croatia. and serbia, claiming that within 2 years that had helped out

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 raises the moral, etc. the whole point of my right up is that there is no moral consistency except the moral absolutes of who, who lacks the average and community share their experiences of racism in australia and explain why i was i can't breathe resonate so profoundly us us can catch up with on contacts and if you want me to send you k is the alex allen show join us again in off an hour for the latest. the whole thing. a lot of fun. yeah. well, the girls come a little to go see me when you switch to
