the the you're sleeping and then the water comes and you can open the door just in your room and you're drowning europe. struggle is to deal with the aftermath of devastating floods. parts of germany declare a state of emergency while neighboring countries were also hit by torrance of water leaving at least 118 people. are correspondent reports from the disastrous fear in our file. in the state of brian and latin that is one of the worst affected areas by the flooding. you can see over to my left on the building where the water actually reached, well above my own head highway of death go for. that's what it looks like down.

yeah. if you carry on further down the road the, the the, among the stories that shaped the we have free kids take up, arms to fight off, looters a mid week of may have 4 and 5. the jailing of a former president, sports people have been killed and injecting pressure on people to have cova jobs. governments and companies around the world are controversial odds promoting vaccines as the way to unlock normal life. to cut the issues down the middle are guess you're going to create a tentative society. they just choose not to have it. they're creating their own apartheid. we need the crime scene so you should be have to be on

with the big stories from the past 7 days and right up to the moment developments as well. this is the weekly rti hello and welcome. devastating floods have left 180 people dead and counting across germany, a neighboring countries burst river banks and flushed floods. this week destroyed entire homes and swept away roads and power lines. strong thunderstorms have now hit the czech republic, where roads and railways were submerged property damage. no casualties have been reported there yet. for flooding, not being seen in eastern germany to a state of emergency has been declared in the southeast region of area. locals and emergency services came together to begin the cleanup operation. some austrian times suffered heavy flooding on saturday as well. but it's western germany that's for the brunt. europe correspondent peter oliver reports theory in our phyla in

the state of rhode island to latin that this one of the worst effected areas by the fluid. you can see over to my left on the building where the water actually reached well above my own head. the job for people here right now is cleaning up following this disaster. you can see just behind me as people have taken all of their belongings from their houses, putting them out on the streets. everything covered with thick brown sludge that mud the rain waters the flood waters brought with them when they came into people's homes. extreme, heavy downpour started on wednesday and sold months worth of rainfall. in a matter of hours, people in these towns they would be on their worst nightmare. and we have talked to several people, a dead, the bridge over the was destroyed, or the bridges in all the towns have been swept away. people don't have anything to

eat or drink. there is mud and fudge everywhere. everything is damaged. many houses of color is the biggest disaster ever happened to its worst was skirts the speed at which the waters rose caught a lot of people off guard. this, coupled with it being the middle of the night seems to have contributed to the number of people killed in this electricity and mobile phone that works for 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 violence said around 1300 people were missing on friday. thankfully, number is decreasing as communication networks are restored. it will happen very quickly last night and last at 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 hell house was flooded with water 2

meters high. i think it will take at least 2 or 3 years to clear enough. lena brenna 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's cream, 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 out of 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 you can open the door just in your room and you're drowning, i can't even describe the feeling like you see your holiday destroyed. it's going to be destroyed. this never happened before. it's like nobody

would love it. it could even prepare for this one blessing is that no more rain his fall in this area in recent days. what that means is that the clean up operation can get underway, but it's going to be a painful and odd 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,

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 and less than many, many more with their homes in ruins. peter, all of us are fi. fi la, germany. okay, let me decide. frick, which has been witnessing its worst violence in decades, riot thing, loose thing, erupt it over the jailing on corruption charges of former president jacobs in the highway of death. golf for that's what it looks like down. yeah. if you carry on

further down the road, because burnt out, recalls in the road, but due to everything, actually the burning of the burning. ah, you know, the, at the moment you purchase this company, one favorite. and this is the only place that now we're getting food from. we just stood out there 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 that. so they scream color joe, joe and i was waiting for them to come together then after the baby, now escape when they can see ocean the nose going to many, many we can say yes lunches,

social cuz she always remind me of what i did to her that are corresponding policy or has been covering events for throughout the week in the impossible nation outside protein 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 rather have our lives and we can live on. i need this terrible smell here 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

have been ripped apart because people can use that for their homes in the various townships around johannesburg. i'm carrying an exam to 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, all of the cell phones and 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 now. don't have money to pay the rent. where was some of the brothers were sleeping here with a stock. the lucius grabbed everything in sight. and as they lift, set the room allies, television sits, electronics, cell phones, clothing, money, and passports. everything has gone only 5 days. in north living place, nothing but would make it

a what fun it. before the benefits office, i'm paying now a 1000000, it's just nice to set this 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 band 2nd over the past few days. so he'll be entering someone's home who's been stealing stuff. so what he says, and there is a door and the titles and the other stuff. as you see there in the car, there goes and they take, he's taking it, there's a suspect. where are you taking him to the south?

the suspect has been full care and is being held in one of the so 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 tried to deal with the current state and violence. ludicrous bound to lower british lawmaker as described and by a top beer company which suggest cobra. the vaccination is the only way to get life back to normal. although there's been a low uptake of shots by those under 30 politicians, have warned harlequins commercial sends out the wrong message. the heineken really ought to consider whether discriminating in loyal customers who 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. the comes after british ministers reportedly drew our plans from mandatory vaccine passports to enter pumps and restaurants from the autumn. thus the spike was seen as a hugely successful inoculation program with 35000000 people fully vaccinated in the u. k. but britain, as far from the only country reprove boxing pressures in full swing the seller really loud, which has been criticized for employing scare tactics for using

a doctor from an age group. not yet eligible for the vaccine. on top of that, that pace of an occupation in the country is slow, in part due to dose shortage is something that critic say makes these campaigns even less appropriate. we put the issue up for 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 they 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 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 juggling

around the room numbers for population have been magically advised possible. she doesn't actually work. they don't stall transmission. i'm just touching that. i suggest you check the wells roll bar or 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 that 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 big coming anyway, actually 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 for what we do need to do is to get brittany back on track. still ahead, digging into a dark pass kind of those indigenous community calls from the government to come clean about the steel of the residential school system tragedy. see on mark res of yet more children are find a lot more after the spring the i cannot, they are to say that a new petition around the work can't even there to say to the 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, but it's a very serious issue. so we cannot address the climate change issue unless the people around the world realize that we cannot continue overconsumption as we are

doing now. the what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation, 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, very political time. time to sit down and talk me the me ah, a look at calendars. indigenous community has urged the government to publish

school attendance list going back decades to further investigate crimes against them. it comes as the unmarked graves of $160.00 more children refund in the country this week. the native community stays not just the tip of the iceberg. the residential school system is being blamed for destroying the lives of many indigenous families. i didn't even talk about the abuse residential schools to my children, many of our children who ran away during the winter and froze to death on their way home. and 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 achieve 5. and that's only part of our sure bible in red,

dan show schools. i want you to imagine you have a 6 year old daughter that's been taken away from you has to go into an environment that shows no love, no hoax, no support. nathan, but verbal, emotional, spiritual abuse. i can't speak my language today because of for experienced across the way. i've tried, you could scream and cry, and bank and there was, you know, no one there to, to rush to you. whenever giraffe and be you could scream and scream your vision, no wonder to come to your help residential schools. the last of which closed in 1997 were aimed at assimilating native children into canadian culture. removed from

their families. many suffered physical and sexual abuse for more than a century, 150000 were put through the system. more than 4000 deaths were recorded in 2015. the true son reconciliation commission officially recognized the policy as cultural genocide and the scandal as further grown this year with the 1st discovery of unmarked grace. oh. ringback i i

the discovery at the grace house and then to our grades on the calendar a day earlier this month, statues with whom victoria printer elizabeth the 2nd were toppled by crowds chanting. no pride in genocide. some indigenous goods call for the annual celebration to be cancelled entirely. but most anger has been targeted that those who run the schools eating to christian churches being attacked with several burnt 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 case

those words aren't enough for many in the community who are demanding 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 forge that? why, why haven't gotten pulled is not apologizing. i feel like the people who, i guess look up to the polls are feeling the same way. genocide is still happening to us to the bay. you know, the governments how these policy plays that don't 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 wrong. and if there's any children in wall, 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 in general know that they could target a president biden house for some time, been pledging a greener future for america. so then it begs the question, why are approvals for companies to drill for oil and gas reaching their highest level since george w bush was in power or senior correspondent, but i guess the of has been digging a little deeper. joe barton's environmental policy was an exercise in populism. he lived in voters by the millions, promising the button environmental plan, his version of the green new deal abroad and clean a world for our children. a gradual cure to our addiction to oral and pollution, half a year in biden's environmental policy has a new nickname,

the green swindle. every indication is they have no plans of actually fulfilling their campaign promise. the result of that will be continued in increasing development of fossil fuel, some public glance, which means more climate change. behind the cameras away from the wing and i'm audiences barton has been stamping out. all drilling permits, a break that speeds since he took office, the u. s. government has approved more than 2000 all exploration permits on federal and native american lad. by the end of the year, they have projected to approve $6000.00 permits. the last time so many were handed out was in 2008, and the george bush. my board, i said about populism. climate change, climate warming, global warming is an extra sense of threat to humanity. we have a moral obligation to do with it. biden is enough of a populace to say what people want to hear about oil and enough of

a politician to do nothing about it. where did people even get the idea that biden isn't advised? mental champion was him and bama who approved oil fracking liquids, which have been linked to cats at the birth defects to serious health problems. and worst of all have be nicknamed the, for ever chemicals due to their ability to persist for a very long top. persist also in the human body. organisms are unable to flush out these chemicals entirely. they stay at us and build up until we die. the obama biden administration approved the use of toxic chemicals for fracking a decade ago. and all these years later, president, by this practice is haven't seemed to change a bit by himself. pleasure during the campaigns, a whole new fracking on federal lands. meanwhile, this administration is proving new frack and permits at the face, similar to trump,

with no let up in sight to add scandal to injury the environmental protection agency, which approve all of this as a bit of trouble. see, with the blue have come forward saying that they were pressured, while reviewing new chemicals and toxins to approve the analysis and test with tampered with. they say to make dozens of new chemicals appear safe, environmental protection agency scientists are the last line of defense between harmful, even deadly chemicals and the introduction into us commerce. and this line of defense is struggling to maintain its integrity. we can all applaud biden for organizing the they summit with world leaders, phase charming environmental policy and motivational speeches. but when it comes to hod, the action that tough decisions don't expect biden to step up. he's a relic of the will age and one that apparently doesn't want to evolve buys and has

no backbone. i don't think he feels he could have a mandate, which is a mandate for the earth mandate for everybody who lives on it, as opposed to being beholden to the fossil fuel and oil industry by increased amount of permits for drilling. he's clearly made a statement that he's worried about how the republic is going to react, as opposed to the catastrophe. we're now facing me. this is in an urgent, drastic situation where the urgent action is needed by not taking urgent action, whether by the deal he has to tip toe around the republican to get the support from the climate deniers. or, you know, more likely, it's just the 2 parties of war in wall street that are basically catering to the market and putting this planet in jeopardy. the 1st more from the week that was with neil if the top of the hour after some more great programs getting there, start in moments. good bye and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

ah . the guys are financial survival guide. liquid assets are those that you can convert into cash quite easily. but keep in mind, no, i mean to inflation better watch guys reported join me every thursday on the alex famine show. and i'll be speaking to guests in the world, the politics, sport, business and show business. i'll see you then. me the

me, the me a hello welcome to world support. the great gentleman, right, our go to sad, the dissolution to every problem is in the other problem. i know where is that more visible than in the history of technology? the current exist, actual threat of climate change is ultimately the total sum of all our efforts to improve the human condition can be ever be satisfied with that and keep the planet green at the same time. well, to discuss it, i'm now joined by right chunk principal advisors to the un secretary general on climate change and 2007 noble peace prize, florida. it's a chunk, it's

a great pleasure, great honor for me to talk to you. thank you very much for finding this, my pleasure. you've been advocating for a low carbon green economic growth for many, many decades. but you've got your noble peace prize for that. but it's only recently, dad. the green agenda has become a practical consideration for many countries. have been included in their policies . i wonder how do you feel about it. i am more excited that it's finally getting traction or more frustrated that it has taken such a long time. my feeling is mixed. there are some brush slide as there are. there are certain downside, my basic idea about the concept or paradigm of green gross, was the idea that investing and the protecting environment and climate change can be a driver of the economy grows and job creation rather than the burden cost on our economy . so at the moment we are just struggling between the 2.
