or 6 minutes of 400, a very satisfying and a grave systemic failure to many faces, criticism for not doing more to prevent last week's flooding from the despite previous warning, stations combined almost 200 live damage amounting to billions. 0. the news is that in the fascination attempt, tamales intern president good during the press service in the west african nation central man and to one. the richest man just successfully completed the 10 minute space, flight and private companies rocky up to thousands, a petition for him. not to return to the latest generation. flying

power is being showcase the crowds just outside moscow with the by and it'll show each open today with the unveiling of a new employee fight. ah hi there. good evening. great time with us here on the number of confirmed dead to the devastating floods in western europe has risen now it's up to 199 and of the 300 people are still unaccounted for. surgeon rescue operations are made underway in the worst areas of germany and belgium. while the opposition in germany is calling for the interior minister to quit, it claims and personally for the countries unpreparedness. the floods have caused damage estimated to more than 2000000000 euros volunteers have been helping to

clear the devastation. triple infrastructure coupled with huge piles of debris and making it difficult to move around and for life to return to even a semblance of normality. my fancy, as you see it is terrible. everson is destroyed. many people don't have any commendation. the businesses are also closed. it is like a nightmare all over the country promised. i cannot remember what was promised, but we should have learnt from this mistake in 2016. what happened could happen again, but nobody expected on such scale here. on it's not only local who andrew, the authorities, response, politicians and climate experts. they claim the government knew the impending catastrophe in advance and that it failed to warn the citizens official so claim the worst areas were in fact altered not so many to ask. what went wrong to oliver reports is before the floods struck west in germany, belgium luxemburg and the netherlands, the copernicus,

satellites that make part of the european flood awareness system detected problems with, on their way, for the region. people in of iowa, one of the worst effected towns in germany have been critical of the warnings, or lack thereof that were given or done come to you. no one was expecting it. the warning came too late. a public announcement, 5 or 6 hours in advance, would have helped to say some essential belongings. another problem is that many elderly people didn't even understand what was going on. they didn't hear anything about it. and then they're also the foreigners. everything should have been organized better. people should have gone door to door or received a warning by phone. the history of what happened with the opinions of experts analyze what happened. today's information. you can just refer to the fact that people were informed by text message. you have to imagine how much information is being dumped on people every day already. but then they say, yes, we sent out messages instead of targeting people on the spot and perhaps getting people out of their homes and particularly hot places. visiting the scene of utter

devastation caused by the flooding in western germany, chance langler merkle pledged more efforts to tackle the challenge is posed by climate change. quickly, chavez, which is the germany, is a country that can overcome this financially. germany is a strong country and we will oppose this force of nature in the short term, but also in the medium and long term to a policy that takes nature and climate into accounts more than we have done in recent years. there had been warnings from the weather in 2016, the river ob burst its banks, causing damage to bridges and other in structure. they were repaired, but nothing was done to protect against future high waters. it's not a secret that streets and bridges and all these dams are not in a good condition and nobody's investing in it. and they're just like waiting till something happens again, 5 years ago we had a situation similar to this one and a bridge in the near broke and they just repaired like, yeah,

it's okay for now. and nothing happened till then. and now the bridge is gone again, this part of germany is no stranger to flooding, which banks the questions. why were the authorities not better prepared for what nature would throw out the this time? and we'll lessons be learned from this tragedy piece. role of a r, t and cologne. germany was just an hour ago spoke with under a hunker who's in m. p for germany's left party. he says the government's repeatedly broken his promises when it comes to emergency systems. checks, we are witnessing a fatal or a monumental sailor on different levels. as you know, we have a germany federal system. so it's not easy to identify where the problems, where for example, the federal ministry they, they to that last year to check their allow system. and this was

a failure and they pronounced to do it again this year and to repair it. and they didn't do so they are pronouncing this for next year. it seems that the warning systems and following evacuations in other countries were a better organized germany, which is just because job is the high develop country. but there's a problem in that system and we have to check it and we have to make it better. is there a particular responsibilities? people are not sitting there responsibility policies they reside has been an assassination attempts. on the interim president of molly reports suggested with a tax during a press service in the capital's main mosque was a little details on that story is on his shoulder due whiskey. this assassination

attempt on molly's into room president a see me go to said to taking place in the great mosque in the capital city of mancha. that attack came during a sermon for the festival, the festival, to bassi. now, according to the manager of the mosque, the moment just given assume and where he talks about the sacrifice of the sheep and asked of that at least one man war yielding a knife, got up and tried to stab the colonel. the interim precedent in the back. now we understand that it appears that he was not injured in this attempted assassination . and that he was removed immediately from the great most can, has been taken to a secure location at an army base, but there are reports that another individual was injured in that assassination attempt. just want to give you a bit of background to what's happening in the molly at the moment. a see me going to is this into room president. she's been in place now for about 2 months,

but he has a very checkered background. as i mentioned, he was a, could no army, and he was the man that was behind molly's military crew. back in august last year, which saw molly moving to an intern presidency as they tried to move back to civilian government. but he wasn't happy with how fast this was moving. and apparently there was a power struggle in molly, which led to a 2nd qu just a few months ago. and as a result, thought to see me go, it was put him places into a precedent. now those 2 crews within a year were molly have sparked huge diplomatic tensions not just with members of the african union, but also he, with the french government. molly has been suspended from the african union until it returns back to civilian rule. and france also suspended, joined military operations with the country as a result of that, those operations have started. but we know that the diplomatic ties remain

tense as molly still continues to go pick up. and without this civilian government, we know that france is looking to pull its troops out. if not just molly. but in the saw hill area, french troops have been there for many years. they've been fighting against an islamist insurgency that started in the north of the country and around 2012 and has really expanded and be massively problematic. the thousands and thousands of people being killed since then, and hundreds of thousands of people being forced to flee their homes as a result of this insurgency. at the same time, the united nations, which has around $14000.00 trips stationed in the country, it's looking to expand its peacekeeping mission. but molly has been in the grips of islamic insurgency for many years now. and it does seem as if the violence is

spiraling higher as you can see the situation a molly is very grave at the moment too many people will be watching what happens now in the next few hours in the next few days in that country. huge wildfires, arranging in ne rush with a massive effort now and away to try bring that situation under control, especially for fighting paratroopers have been deployed in the battle and you'll see in this video action exiting plains parachuting down to hard to reach areas. each trooper has a 20 liter backpack to fight the flames and shovels to dig 5 braking lines. the emergency service is volunteers, locals have overdoing a bit to try to douse the flames that in your smoke. those been hampering efforts in the worst areas going to the emergency ministry close to 2 hundreds of wildfires, all burning at present with specialist helicopters, having been drafted into help for as far as also arranging in another region. cornelia, a popular tourist destination in the northwest of the country. people living in the

path of the flames that have already been evacuated to safety. a region wide drought is made. forests tend to dry and vulnerable to wildfires but he's already has you'll know the wills riches man. but amazon found a just phase also scale new heights. the blasting into orbit and his own rocket. the manager, the star, to one, the only a short but sweet trip to space the entire journey left. he just had minute days of landing safely back on earth. some know that wanted to believe that to stay up for good. an online petition object into his re entry rack took over 160000 signatures on these. kelly morphine us people in new york, whether they wanted him to return home. we need them. yeah, but i'm saying it's a lot of things have in the world, you don't need to be flying to the space that seems a little bit extreme. but maybe because it will probably never really happen. those

3 people alone can take care of the whole world's problems right now with the pandemic. but they're going to space at the end of the day. we supposed be focusing on our population. not up there down here jeff days. those is not the only 1000000000 air to have gotten space fever. he actually lost the space race to another. alter richman, richard branson. and ilan mosque is set to be 3rd on the podium. they all claim that it's for the common good way here to make space more accessible to all welcome to the dawn of a new space age. recent studies showed that a minimum wage worker cannot afford a one bedroom apartment. in 93 percent of the counties in the united states, this is not a situation where people can afford to just get off to the stars for a holiday weekend. now there are many billionaires like days i was who actually avoided paying taxes. many look at this and blame a corrupt loophole, written tax code that allows the rich to avoid paying their due all backwards and

corrupt tax system has allowed the same person who pays next to know federal income tax to blow $7500000000.00 on his own private aerospace company, while hard work in american families paid an average of 14 percent income tax each year. basis on the other, billionaires in his obscene race to space should be required to pay their fair share. while working families were struggling to pay their bills and the infrastructure of the united states is crumbling, the billionaires are having their own little space race and seeing who can reach the stars faster. do you think you'll ever be able to afford to go to space? i can't afford to live in new york, the average person can barely afford starbucks. these travels never going to be affordable for everybody. by the fact we might be because you know what, as this economy is coming down to order technology and everything is being upgraded to the fact that how we bought the move or i mean over to explain it possibly. so you never know with many feeling that glory projects such as races into space to

make a mockery of the hard work carried out by the majority. it shouldn't be a surprise that many are wondering if we shouldn't just dump the ultra rich into outer space as the latest piece of space. junk muffin, r t new york and days. this is become the 2nd billionaire privately make it a space less than a week. those achievements aren't impressing ox from though it's calculated for every minute. a business mobile goes into space. 11 people die of starvation around the world. richard wolf emerges, professor of economics at the university of massachusetts. i'm hearst says that the trips are an unnecessary extravagance. is it reasonable to allow billionaires to do 2 things? decide how to spend their money? for example, competing on getting on rockets into space. and number 2, how do you justify the enormous wealth devoted to this kind

of rich persons, amusements, moral demands are more powerful than allowing the super rich to become even richer. as for example, they have over the last 18 months even while the rest of the world was struggling with that cold. busy did pen demik a tool to intimidate anyone? critical, that's how human rights groups have branded these rarely hacking spyware, pegasus, you revelations have shown its reportedly been used by governments around the world to potentially target politicians. journalists, even religious figures, software was originally developed to help the fight against criminals and terrorists. but as close to the gulf reports now, it's ended up snooping on so many more. 50000 mobile phone owners in 45 countries, targeted by spyware. that's been in the hands of governments for years. with the

approval of the israeli defense ministry. that's all according to a group of investigative journalists from 17 media outlets who claim they obtained a lead document that reveals the sheer scale of the snooping. edward snowden has already, tweed that this could be the story of the year. the ears also gasped if it is the case, it is completely unacceptable and against any kind of rules we have in the european union. what the freedom of media is concerned, free press is one of the core values of the european union. it is completely unacceptable if this would be the case. according to the guardian targets include business executives, religious figures, government officials, and journalists among them, murdered washington post columnist jamal shoji the report singles out a number of countries suspected of using the spine to maliciously,

among them hungry, saudi arabia the a turkey in india. the all either denied or refused to comment. the tool in question is called. busy pegasus, it was developed by israeli tech firm and a so group in company keeps a low profile and doesn't really out its services. but it is sad to be behind the most advanced piece of spyware ever developed. you can actually send the message you've ever received. it can access every photo and video every email. it is effectively the most invasive form of the valence imaginable. according to the investigative journalist, someone who knows your mobile number can use, i guess, as to read all of your attacks, e mails, chats and location data. this used to require a victim to click a malicious lane, but the malware can now penetrate phones with so called 0 click attacks. and a so group has for body claims its product is being used maliciously by state actors. anissa group firmly denies false claims made in your report,

many of which are uncorroborated theories that raise serious doubts about the reliability of your sources is what is the basis of your story israeli firm and says it's that's clients granting access only to foreign governments with good human rights records, it also claims its products is meant only for things like preventing terror attacks and locating missing children. if your mobile number is on the list, it doesn't mean you were actually spied on, but you were selected as a potential target. the journalist behind the revelation say, they will publish even more names soon. what's clear from all this is that a very powerful spy tool is being wielded by governments around the world. whether for good or for bad. while you will have to take their word for it, he saw the company, these were the one you're working on selling. it's the product with all the relevant allies from media, expand,

saw and it's leaking. but it raised the question whether it's sufficient all kinds of tools and private phone company and send and it may rain job questions. and when you have such a tutor, very po, one, that can truck, you'll sort of last song even we don't need that. you will press any link. it may read the question whether we need to regulate those activities. the best in next generation flying power has been does link trans new moscow among the attendees. at tuesday's opening of the mac, sasha was reputed who faced his eyes on the latest sequoia fight to get the bi annual events been around for almost 3 decades. now it would run this year for 5

days. you just on up things as today's highlights. so today's the 1st day of one of the world's biggest shows max 2021. today is also a business day. so it means all that till bosses of rushes, companies working in defense in high tech, in the space. they're all here to network and well perhaps make deals. but by far the most high profile jessia is vladimir putin. we came here not only to enjoy the show, but also for a grand reveal of something that is stored in a warehouse in the background behind me, it was a wash and fight to jen brand new, never seen before, and never presented to the public named checkmate ah,

it seems pretty much everything is out of the ordinary with this new fighter jet evens and naming foods outside of the russian tradition. like for example, mig at 35. this one has a more of a nato style name, checkmates again. now we don't know much about this machine yet. what we have been told is that you can carry up to almost 7 and a half tons of military equipment and travel at the speed of twice the speed of sound. now this was certainly the most impressive thing shown today, but not the only one. we've seen brand new russian passenger jets fly. also some impressive aerobatics from another 50 gen fighter jet sou who is 57. now this was of course, just the 1st day this show will be open to the public for a few days more for a couple of more days. for everybody who might be willing to enjoy the show thrown by some of the world's most elite performers. they have branded as the

global war on terror sunglasses, but the marketing employed by manufacturer oakley, has created an army of angry us veterans issue centers on a ribbon, on the rim of each pair. it represents the metal us soldiers received. the problem is colors wrong. and to make matters worse, the metal itself is seen by some is nothing more than the equivalent of a participation trophy given out to simply join the military. we spoke with a former us marine sergeant who feels that of being exploited for commercial gain. veterans are constantly being taken advantage of and $250.00 oakley sunglasses are just one really dumb petty example. sadly, to the extent that we have a militarist paradigm in the united states, there will also, there will always be a market for these kinds of, you know, crap products. exploitation claims can the mid growing concern over the problems

veterans face the latest data shows an increase in the suicide rate of vets. it's one and a half times higher than that among civilians with 18 to 34 year olds, particularly vulnerable. and this sort of those figures could be even higher as this that he doesn't yet take into account. the impact of the ongoing pandemic is other than caucasian. again, he believes that the governments ignores the needs of veterans. it's not a challenge to get people to recognize that you served it's challenge to get people to care about the bigger problems and the fact that better and commit suicide rate of $22.00 per day more proportionately than the general population. and the v a is more interested in pushing pharmaceuticals that have suicide listed a side effect. then actually effective treatments for p t s. d, and other things experienced by veterans homelessness of unemployment. all of the challenges that go along with the government does. by contrast, the u. s. federal government spent $86000000.00 on housing for

illegal immigrants, and 0 for homeless veterans. and this lab in the space from oakley sunglasses is just little bit of icing on the cake. the corruption trial of celebrities for the president, jacob zoom, has resumed his jailing last week. spot the worst of all the scene in the country for decades ahead of the zulu nation. south africa, the largest ethnic group, told us the reasons and rest and looting cave is no surprise. we see a country that has so much going for it has been destroyed completely. because my view is that what is happening now actually should no surprise us because this country was a radio owner. nice because you division count state because because of the mismanagement of the economy by the government,

every striking sort of rigor, every strike that is taking place in south africa now or is newton. this is what is happening now when a smaller scale have been each 10 days. the approaches with democratic reg report is but they don't end up, you know, just for testing. they then googe and they're doing that on a nice kid. but it came from new policies of the n. c, who said the country you must make, and governor homer president jacob same. it was sent us to 15 months in prison. the contempt of court has to he refused to appear before judicial inquiry, investigating corruption during his 9 years in power. the progress followed result in more than 200 deaths and 2000 and arrests when the communities are still in fact, reeling from the violence. facing food shortages with local shops, warehouses either ransacked or burned down. what he correspond fall asleep reports

now on the extremes. local residents have had to endure to survive this crisis. tracking along the indian ocean co sign, wait. a whole town has been isolated and have received no relief for days. the votes have been closed and the trucks with the usual supplies have not been able to reach them. the shops themselves have either been lucid or closed scott, because the odors offer that they could be ransacked in the coming days. the. i now can, you can see a close to the house that has been completely muted and been down. all the concrete steel flats have been melted down in the fire. that was like,

today's the 1st day that one or 2 shots in the town have opened. most people are still staying at home, and as you can see, the softer all boarded clothes. people have been afraid amongst rumors that the violence is going to erupt anytime again. at the moment, i'm so sorry, because safety, it's still not safe on the desk or what's going on there that the school danger. so we just are trying to do a little bit of the committee here is one of the 1st substitute open, but it's owners. i hid is still assessing the damage. he says he was lucky to escape with his life intact. people lose everything in the shop. it was singular piece of bread, love, everything. for me, the noise, the better, but i did not get his dog and my sharpie on this. you didn't see the previous entity or was that just by yesterday?

we now on the time of if you which has also be completely lifted. where accompanying a shop owner, who hasn't been able to reach the town since the violence started. this is the 1st walk in the shop. now i'm totally shocked to absolutely devastated something that we never terms of as quite said and we're going to see if everything's been taken out. we've talked, we're looking at about 3000000 or what have stuck has been lewters. i did expect it to be bad, but this is like 10 of us. absolutely. so as you can see, there is security in front of this supermarket. the only reason that the supermarket survived is that they were 8th armed guards sleeping inside at the time . they shuffle on the crowd. and for that reason,

people ran away from both this town and surrounding areas have come here. because it's only place that they can get food. i came here to buy the groceries because my children are very hungry. there is no food in the house because. 1 we only, i hope is only this shop now if they're going to break the shop. 1 this shop, i don't know what we're going to do now. the violence of the past few days has left an estimated 2000000 south africans unemployed. as it is a country already faces. a huge problem of these people are doing. for days they haven't eaten. and many of them are afraid that the violence talk them over. so there's a lot of panic buying happening right now. on the tip of the african continent policy, a r t on an account, south coast about it today. i'd appreciate company throughout the day have an international to stick around if you can. my colleague growth, who say we'll have more few about 30 minutes.

the ah, the drug started as a way to come back. a great problem. what's the, what is part of the attitude of the nation, not just of north dakota, and it got to be something that you could get elected. this time, the fight against drugs took a check and told us that there was a competence short form. this is way too dangerous for him to be doing. clearly they put him in harm's way. a rural college student does interest gets shot in the head and found in a river like something else had to be happening.
