to eat or drink. there is mud and such everywhere. everything is damaged. many houses of color is the biggest disasters ever happened to. it's worse than a was. english stood the speed at which the waters rose caught a loss of people of god. this coupled with it being the middle of the night seemed to have contributed to the number of people killed in this disaster. electricity and mobile phone networks were shut down by the rise of water with no way of contacting the outside world. no one knew who was missing and who didn't have connections. local officials in our violet said around 1300 people were missing on friday. thankfully, number is decreasing as communication networks are restored. it all happened very quickly last night and lasted about 20 minutes. first, the manhole covers came up and then the water level rose up, the windows, the windows burst and within 2 minutes the hill house was flooded with water 2
5:05 am
meters high. i think it will take at least 2 or 3 years. we were having enough, lena, brenda and her family were asleep when water from the river, usually half a kilometer away, started to flood the lower floors of their home. i heard screaming outside and then my dad, he screamed, i went outside downstairs and there was already like water flooding into our like downstairs. it was like so fast that we just grab stuff and tried to get up there. i think it was like maybe 15 to 20 minutes. so the water came up to here. so if you're sleeping and then the water comes and we can open the door, you're just in your room and you're drowning. i can't even describe the feeling. you see how it destroys, going to be destroyed. this never happened before. it's like,
5:06 am
i don't know. nobody would love it. you could even prepare for this. one blessing is that no more rain has fallen in this area in recent days. what that means is that the clean up operation can get on the way, but it's going to be a painful and on jewish process and it will be a long time before any sense of normalcy returns to these towns. it isn't just in germany that flood waters have struck parts of belgium, the netherlands, and looks and berg have all found themselves under water. the me ah, ah,
5:07 am
as water continues to be pumped from the lower floors of buildings in the path of the flooding. people here slowly coming to terms with a tragedy which is killed so many i left many, many more with their homes in ruins. peter, all of us, off t, violet, germany. we also followed the situation so the africa, the very closely this week, it witness its worst violence in decades. writing a loosing erupt, it over the jailing on corruption charges, a former president jacobs. him the highway of death, golf for that's what it looks like down. yeah,
5:08 am
if you carry on further down the road because burnt out, recalls in the road, but due to everything. factory, the burning of the burning. ah, you know, the, at the moment you have this one favorite and this is the only place that now we're getting food from. we just stood out here to protect our families. ah, i didn't even know those people, but i so they willing to help us, that it made me pause and see. so the screen color joe, joe and i was waiting for them to come together then asked to the baby and now escape when they can see ocean the nose going to many, many we can say just social cuz she always remind
5:09 am
me of what i did to her what our correspondent policy or has been covering events for throughout the week in the embattled nation. we shall start protean more, which is one of 2 more in waco and it was completely ransacked on monday. the people from the community have come out. they are cleaning what they can, a positive been on the story is that the community is starting to take care of itself and form community security watches. this is a lot more how do we allow this more to do to it? and that's why we hear saying that we rather we rather have our lives and we can live on our knees. this terrible smell here. it's of alcohol and vegetables that are decaying, that have been taken from the shops. now this is a cash machine, as you can see, it's been completely ripped from the walls. this is what remains of a liquor shop. the entire shop has been ransacked. the cupboards and the tables
5:10 am
have been ripped apart because people can use that for their homes in the various townships around johannesburg. and kevin had gone to township, which has seen some of the worst violence over the past few days. for shock, belonging to 15 brothers from outside the country were destroyed, all of the in the hope and cell phones and this on the electronics of groceries. when you come, when you come to brick, everything that took everything, don't have money to buy food for children. now, don't have money to pay the rent. where was some of the brothers were sleeping here with a stock. the lose his grabbed everything in sight. and as they lift, set the room allies, television sits, electronics, cell phones, clothing, money, and passports. everything has gone, but only 5 did. the reading. nurse living plays nothing but would
5:11 am
make it a. what fun it. before i don't pick up is i'm not really anything just nice to set my looking ordeal. 5, unplug it. skip play. might lead police and community leaders are undergoing a nighttime operation, trying to recover some of this phone goods that were ransacked by people over the last few days. it's often local people who are coming forward to the police and to community leaders and telling them that the neighbors have got stuff that they didn't have the day before. and that's how the police is getting to pulse as to who conducted the ransacking over the past. few days, so he'll be entering someone's home who's been stealing stuff. so what is there? and there is a dwarf and the titles and the other stuff as you see the end of the goals and just wanted to take your thinking. if there's a suspect,
5:12 am
where are you taking him to the south? the suspect has been full care and is being held in one of the so a short time ago, there was no electricity in this area. and the police were working with the light from a cell phone. it gives you a kind of idea of the circumstances and the challenges that face the police in south africa as they try to deal with the current state and violence. ludicrous births. our british lawmaker as described in by a top beer company, which suggest cobra vaccination is the only way to get life back to normal. although there's been a low uptick of shots by those under 30 politicians have warned honeycup commercial sent out the wrong message. the heineken really ought to consider whether discriminating and loyal customers who
5:13 am
may be cannot be vaccinated for medical or other reasons. there are lots of people who can't be vaccinated and it's quite wrong that they should not be able to go into a pub and have a drink. ludicrous. i'm surprised to not making recommendations and other countries, given their levels of vaccine hesitancy. yeah, the earth comes after british ministers reportedly drew our plans from mandatory vaccine passports to enter pubs and restaurants from the autumn. thus, despite was seen as a hugely successful inoculation program with 35000000 people fully vaccinated in the u. k. a britain as far from the only country where pru vaccine pressures in full swing. that's on the strip not which has been criticized for employing scare tactics and
5:14 am
for using an actor from an age group. in fact, not yet eligible for the vaccine. on top of that, the pace of an occupation in the countries flow in part 2 to dos shortage is something that predicts a mix. these campaigns even less appropriate. we put the issue offer debate really worry for me about this is you're going to create, i to tell society that will be those people who com, to have a vaccine for medical reasons or maybe for their own reasons. or maybe because the younger and they haven't seen invite yet. there is therefore going to be a to, to this, as i say, it is not going to create to, to the system. that's absolute. poppycock, people who can't have it for medical reasons, can i have a medical exemption? but if they just choose not to have it, they're creating their own apartheid. they have a duty, particularly young people now to do their bids for the rest of society. for those who need the vaccine so you should be label law juggle,
5:15 am
read all the numbers for population. have been magic cleared, bodies, possible. she doesn't actually work. they don't transmission. i'm just passing that i suggest you check the world war i very, i guess you stop spreading misinformation and face new jersey. you get behind this . there is a very big question over whether young people should have this faxing at all. and the reason for that is actually most young people will get coban recover, they'll be no long term sequentially. and this is about personal choice and responsibility. i want to do the 3 things. i could go over and have a represent the young people have a juicy, they should get vaccination as well. no one's talking about coercion. no one's talking about monday, treat jobs. but if you know people have fallen out to life, it's coming anyway. actually,
5:16 am
we should be encouraging those people. certainly i've a 40 to make sure they have a vaccine. i would like younger people to have it as well. but i do believe in personal choice and liberty, we don't believe in compulsory vaccination, but what we do need to do is get precedent back on track. or the week's top stories in 90 seconds. the close the rather driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me i think we dare to ask me.
5:17 am
ah ah me. the login color is indigenous community has urged the government to publish school attendance list going back decades to further investigate crimes against them. it
5:18 am
comes of the unmarked graves of $116.00 more children were found in the country this week. the native community said that's just the tip of the iceberg. the residential school system is being blamed for destroying the lives of many indigenous somebody's. i didn't even talk about the abuse in residential schools to my children, many of our children who ran away during the winter and froze to death on their way home. and i am the black ropes. start lying about the children. oh yeah, they're doing fine here. in the meantime they were missing and no one had searched for them and we had to steal much of our food in order to survive. and that's only part of our sure bible in red dan, shell. schools want you to imagine you have a 6 year old daughter that's been taken away from you has to go into an environment
5:19 am
that shows no love. no hugs, no support. nathan, but verbal, emotional, spiritual abuse. i can't speak my language today because for experienced across that way. i've tried, you could scream and cry, and bank and there was, you know, no one there to, to rush you. we were giraffe and be you could scream and scream. your vision, no one there to come to your help residential school, the last of which closed in 1997 were aimed of assimilating native children into canadian culture removed from their families. many suffered physical and sexual
5:20 am
abuse for more than a century. 150 families were put through the system. more than 4000 deaths were recorded in 2015 the truth and reconciliation commission officially recognized the policy of cultural genocide and the scandal has further grown this year with the 1st discovery of unmarked graves. oh, i i the discovery of the grades has led to trade across the country on calendar de
5:21 am
earlier this month to start use of queen victoria on premium is that the 2nd were told by crowds chanting no pride in genocide. some indigenous groups called for the annual celebration to be councils entire. but most anger has been targeted at those who run the schools, leading to christian churches being attacked with several to the ground. the prime minister has said the country must learn from the mistakes of the past. it is difficult in moments like peace to fully comprehend the decisions of the past that led to these tragedies and atrocities. but it is necessary to absorb them and understand them. to be able to move forward. but just in for those words aren't enough for many in the community who are demanding
5:22 am
an apology from the pope. they hold the catholic church responsible for much of what happened and believe it has a case to answer. people are talking about wanting an apology from the pope. why do we have to for that, why, why haven't gotten that yet? does not apologizing. i feel like the people who i get up to the polls are feeling the same way that is still happening to us to the may you know, the governments how these policies place that your work with us. when police do mental health checks with our people, they either die or they're thrown into each institution where pills are thrown down . and if there's any children involved, they're automatically thrown into into the child welfare system. so there's a lot of things we get done with the police, not taking reports seriously. and predators know that they could target. and people
5:23 am
in general know that they could target a unprecedented anti government protests in cuba. have certainly caught the eye of the u. s. media until lawmakers, florida's governor is even claiming the island nation might have to be bombed on some outlets. and since the country is on the brink of a revolution of despite things having count significantly now in the streets, washington is also adamant. the changes on the cards is the largest protest we've seen in cuba in a long time. that will obviously have an impact on how we proceed. so we will see how things develop in the days ahead and develop our policy responses accordingly. it's almost like christmas came early this year for america's political hawks. anti government protests have fled up in cuba. what better opportunity for the us to finish something? it couldn't back in the sixty's. now, with all the tricks from the when his whale and handbook of regime change,
5:24 am
step one, intimidate, scare them. bully them, make it look like you're one tiny step away from obliterating everything they love . if they don't abide, i are suggesting air strikes in cuba. what i'm suggesting is that option is one that has to be explored and cannot be simply discarded as an option. that is not on the table. humanitarian asked strikes soda mccrass's. venezuela also was not far from something like that. apparently, all boxes are on the table where you are a military option prevented without considering anything, but all options are on the table. does that mean you're considering the options? always fall options, but sticks? well, they work best when there's a camera dangling on the far end. the florida governor chose to tempt cubans with some proper broadband. they shut down the internet,
5:25 am
they don't want the truth to be out. they don't want people to be able to communicate. and so one of the things that i think we should be able to do when our private companies are with the united states is to provide that internet service via yeah, cubans are gonna need some flying internet speeds because, well, we're also going to see protests like these northern have an am because this is actually people in america supporting the cuban anti government push and another bio picture. some outlets used to illustrate cuban unrest. this one was taken in 2011 in egypt, just like when things were going down in venezuela. and the mainstream media didn't want us to find out that it was the us back to protest is not the government who said this a truck on fire? well, i guess think of it as humanitarian arson, florida authorities got so excited about the unrest in cuba. they even allowed
5:26 am
demonstrators at home to block the streets, something they had explicitly banned for black lives matter. at this point, you might be getting that faint stench of racial discrimination but don't fret. it's very different. according to the florida governor. i had a good discussion with leaders in the cuban american community about the comenius dictatorships crimes against the people of cuba. we stand in solidarity with the people of cuba and we are united in support of their right to choose freedom over the communist regime. again, all painfully reminiscent of venezuela protests including in washington itself, which the breathlessly backed in a bid to force this man, you might not even remember now into power. and of course, the elephant in this room of regime change sanctions, both venezuela and cuba have been under tremendous economic pressure even at the height of the cove at 19 pandemic. the us refuse to listen to the un and almost 200
5:27 am
other countries and lifted embargo against the island nation. the united states is pursuing a similar strategy in cuba that is pursuing against that doesn't allow cuba or venezuela to trade. it doesn't allow them to sell. ready in the case of wayland, their oil, and the international market mistakes other companies pay huge fines. if they dare to do e, can i make trade with cuba or a ben? it's where basically giving companies around the world and ultimate them do you want to trade with the us market? a market of $22.00 trillion dollar gross domestic product, or do you prefer to trade with cuba and economy of $100000000000.00. and so as a consequence of this bullying against men as rayleigh and cuba is creating massive human suffering. and then the u. s. government turns around and says, look, the human government and the venezuela government are mismanaging their economies
5:28 am
and they're not taking care of the needs of their people. you can't get more hypocritical and more demagogy and more cynical than what the u. s. is doing against both countries. so a few years back america went on one of its biggest regime change gambles in recent history with venezuela and failed. but for the lack of a better playbook, it seems to be happy to go down the same dead and eager shed off. well, it is short documentary time. next, see what's being served up this sunday in moments life for moscow. this is our t hope you'll join me again up the top. bye for now. the ah, ah ah, they cannot, they are to say there's no petition or under work. can you been there to say that
5:29 am
to people? oh, we have to reduce the consumption. this is why so far the consumption issue did not was not taken up very seriously. so or but it's a very serious issue. so we cannot address the climate change issue unless the people are on the word realize that we cannot continue overconsumption as we are doing now the the, me you, again. so when they say, why did you burn down the community?
5:30 am
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. but the point is that the way to the the, the contract, when you tell definition clinic, give up, you bought the car shopping for 400 years. we played your game and you're well the concerning burning. and it still wouldn't be enough. and they are looking that what black people are looking for is a quality and not revenge limiter.
