satisfying the and the a great systemic failure, germany faces criticism for not doing more to prevent last week's flooding treasury . despite for years, warnings almost 200 lives, a loss of damage caused will amount to billions demanded to one the richest man. jeff pays successfully complete the 10 minutes spice light and his private companies broke it off the thousands petition for him not to return to earth despite in your pocket. the majorly names french president, somebody micron is one of the targets that was really develop phone supply with the

lessons generation flying power is showcase the crowds outside moscow with y annual max and chrome show which open on tuesday will be unveiling over you. so why did you i last for most go, thanks for joining us tonight on, on the international. i'm daniel hawkins with you throughout the night. well, concert program the number of confirmed dead off devastating floods in western europe has risen to almost 200 and other 300 people are still unaccounted for with search and rescue operations that underway in the was hit areas of germany and belgium, the wall, the opposition in germany is calling for the interior minister to resign. it brings him personally for the countries unpreparedness. the floods of caused damage estimates at more than 2000000000 euros. volunteers have been helping clear the devastation cripple infrastructure, coupled with huge piles of debris,

is making it difficult to move around and full life to refer to even a severance of normality. sounds easy 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. country promised i cannot remember what was promised, but we should have learned from this mistake in 2016. what happened could happen again, but nobody expected on such scale. ok, it's not the locals, angered by the authorities, response, politicians and climate experts claim the government knew of the impending catastrophe in advance, but fail to warn its citizens. officials claimed that the worst areas were alerted, that sled money to ask what went so badly wrong. as to all of the report is before the floods struck west in germany, belgium looks in bergen, the netherlands, the copernicus, satellites that make part of the european flow to when

a system detected problems with on their way for the region. people in our viola, one of the worst effected towns in germany, have been critical of the warning states. a public announcement, 5 or 6 hours in advance would have helped to say some essential facts. and 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 analyzing what happened to this 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 send out messages instead of targeting people on the spot and perhaps getting people out of their homes in particularly hot places. visiting the thing of utter

devastation caused by the flooding and western germany champ langler merkle pledged more efforts to tackle the challenge is posed by climate change. recreation, 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 far burst, its banks, causing damage to bridges and other infrastructure. 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 good condition and nobody's investing in it. and they're just like waiting to something happens again, 5 years ago we had a ration similar to this one and a bridge in the near broke and they just repaired it. 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 at them this time? and will lessons be learned from this tragedy? peace role of a r t. in cologne. germany. we spoke to under a 100 co. m. p. for germany's left 40. he says the government's repeatedly broken its 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 to germany, a federal system. so it's not easy to identify where the problems aware that the, the federal government is free. they, they do 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. no, they are not doing this for next year. it seems that the warning system and of following evacuations, in other countries are a better organized, which is the because 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. the political responsibility is people are not sitting there with of the big party did . they reside over in the head on province in china, which has been hit by devastating floods over 10000 people in the region. i've been taken to shelters off the record rainfall that he's 12 of died in the city of young you. that's according to local officials, torrance, of flood award, search through the city subway system. and i'm find a fault when confirmed. it was working on rescuing strike and passengers with

hundreds reports and evacuated so far. but it's both on social media appears to show people trapped in a carriage, sitting waist high water waiting for emergency services. on above ground streets have been completely submerged with far flowing, flood waters, washing away cars and every train services of ground for holes with many of the problems is highways cut off enjoy was reportedly hit by years worth of rain and just 3 days that each will cost to continue for at least another 24 hours for delivery. yeah, for floods in germany to wildfires, raise your ne russia with a massive effort and i went away to try to bring the situation under control, special firefighting power troopers have been deployed in the video in the region. you can see in the video, exiting plains and power shooting down to areas which are hard to reach each through 520 liter backpacks and fight the flames as well as shovels to dig 5 rec alliance emergency services, volunteers,

and local have all been doing debbie to try and down the flames. in the acute here the smoke is hampering efforts in the worst areas. according to emergencies, ministry close to $200.00 while find the burning at present with special helicopters, drafted into help verifies are also raising in another region. cordelia, a popular tourist destination and northwest of the country. people living in the part of the flames that have been evacuated to safety. a region wide ralph is my forest, tend to dry and of hon. wildfire the best in next generation flying power has been dazzling. crowds near moscow among the at and d, that tuesdays opening of the max actually was let me put in. he got to assess the latest to qualify. the boy annual event has been around for almost 3 decades, and we'll run this year for 5 days. he goes down or brings us to highlight 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 the top bosses of brushes, 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 guess here 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 agenda brand new, never seen before, and never presented to the public named checkmate. ah 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,

check made 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. gen fighter jet sou who 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 is already the world's richest man, but i was in the vantage space office scaled new heights. after blast off the orbits in his own rocket. the managers start to watch the it was

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, those 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 no 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 are struggling to pay their bills and the infrastructure, the united states is crumbling, the billionaires are having their own little space rate. 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 travels, never going to be affordable for everybody. why 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 mobile with earth. i mean, over to an explain it possibly happened 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. martin r t new york base has become the 2nd building at a private make it a space in less than a week. she stow onto pressing oxfam, which was calculated for every minute tape in the mobile goes the space 11 people die of starvation globally mission wolfe at the university of massachusetts, ama say,

the trips and extravagance. is it reasonable to allow billionaires to do to 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 is very developed phone spyware was used to keep tabs on the french president of my old micron. that's according to new revelations, relating to the pegasus hacking tool brought to light by a group of investigative journalists. several other top french officials were also

targeted. lizzie says it's taking the claims very seriously, shall do. minsky picks up the story. president mac call of france may have been one of those that were targeted by this is really spying software that's now via the peg. is this project also, not just him, but 50 members of his government from back in 2019, now this spyware, which was still valid in israel, essentially, attacks of phone. and when it's on the phone, it allows the people who are spying you, to turn on your microphone and to turn it off at will. meaning they can record your conversations. they would also have access to all of your messages on application such as what's up or if you have an iphone on your message and allowing them to basically search through all of the data in your phone to uncover pretty much anything that they want it. now this data breach was revealed initially by

a french group. they're called forbidden stories, and they've been working with a series of newspapers and media outlets around the clay with the last few days, revealing this huge leak of numbers from across the world. it even includes close relatives of those who were ministers in my own government, including the wife we understand of the french prime minister, former french prime minister edward felipe. now this is just the tip of the iceberg though, because those data leak. so for real, around a 1000 individuals here in france will potentially targeted by this off to a by spice services intel services by countries such as morocco and they included human rights activists, politicians, even journalists around 180 journalists across the world were also targeted in this attack by the use of pegasus and hearing from it included the human rights

activists, dominique simenon to do mean the fact that dominic seminar was spied on means that almost all important journalists in all at offices in france could be spied on. that's what's important and it's not just why attempting to do this means that absolutely any information can leak out. this is a violation, not only a fundamental right, but also most importantly, if confidentiality will edit is if some of the big publications were also apparently targeted by this pegasus spies software. and as a result of that, the paris prosecutor has now opened an investigation into some of those potential data leaks. and those individuals that believe that they was spied on who had their phones checked and verify that they had this spite software owned by and in not least across the world, there are some 50000 numbers that have been revealed just in this database leak. but that could just be one small portion of the number that a truly been infected by this spice software. now that includes that $50000.00 list

includes 13 heads of state including the president of south africa, president manuel macro and also the prime minister of pakistan. but on top of that, there are military heads of defense. they're all mats for 34 countries. so this is a real, huge leak. and a huge scandal of individuals that apparently have been spied on for the last several years now. and so which is the group behind the developing of the software, maintains the idea that this software is not being used maliciously by state active enter. so group family 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? and if so, group has also stated that president and manual my goal is as far as it's aware,

not a tall gauge of customers. people that it's sold this software to even though his number appears on the list. it says that he's not indicative that he was selected for surveillance, but you can imagine there will be a lot of concerned individuals heads of state journalists, human rights activists, as more and more details about the state lake and who exactly has been targeted for this spice of eylandt software is revealed. run that is the global war on terror sunglasses. the mortgage employed by shays manufacturer, oakley, has created an army of angry us veterans issue centers and a ribbon on the rim of each pair, presenting the metal us soldiers received. the problem is they got the colors wrong . to make matters worse, the metal itself is seen why some is nothing more than the equivalent of a participation trophy given out for simply joining the military. we spoke to

a former us marine sergeant who feels events of being exploited for commercial gain . veterans are constantly being taken advantage of and $250.00 oakley. glasses are just one really dumb, petty example. sadly, to the extent that we have a militarist paradigm in the united states there, which also there will always be a market for these kinds of crap products. the exploitation, james carried drumming alarm over the problems. veterans face latest status shows an increase in the suicide rate of vets, which is one half times higher than that among civilians. 18 to 34 year olds are particularly vulnerable. install those figures maybe even higher. the study doesn't yet take into account the impact of the ongoing pandemic. adam cash, again believes at the end of the day, veterans are being neglected by those in leadership. 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 ends commit suicide at the rate of $22.00 per day, more proportionally to 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 peak d. s. d, and other things experienced by veterans homelessness, unemployment, all of the challenges that go along what 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 face from oakley sunglasses is just little bit i seen on the cake.
