:01:06. > :01:10.The taxes is expected to worsen and spread as waters continue to rise
:01:11. > :01:12.from tropical storm Harvey. The area's expected to have received
:01:13. > :01:19.a year's rainfall within a week. Shops and businesses are shut and
:01:20. > :01:22.travel is all but impossible with roads and airports closed. So far,
:01:23. > :01:24.450,000 people need emergency assistance
:01:25. > :01:27.and around 30,000 are in temporary shelters.
:01:28. > :01:31.And the flooding hasn't even reached its peak,
:01:32. > :01:33.with estimates that rivers could reach 14 feet
:01:34. > :01:42.We'll have coverage from across the state starting
:01:43. > :01:44.first with our correspondent Laura Trevelyan in La Grange,
:01:45. > :02:03.Welcomer to a small Texan town of 5000 people and 300 forms have been
:02:04. > :02:10.evacuated here because as you can see behind me, there is extensive,
:02:11. > :02:14.catastrophic, devastating flooding. The Colorado River- we are inland by
:02:15. > :02:19.the way that has broken its banks and it is peaking now at 55 feet.
:02:20. > :02:23.Normally the river level is about eight feet. Flooding level is 24
:02:24. > :02:27.feet store more than double the usual flooding level of the Colorado
:02:28. > :02:33.River is what we are seeing here and the impact has just been ruinous on
:02:34. > :02:39.homes, on businesses. The people who are selling some of these historic,
:02:40. > :02:44.beautiful homes in this tiny Texan town are seeing them completely
:02:45. > :02:47.devastated by the flooding. We are seeing businesses submerged. We have
:02:48. > :02:50.spoken to business owners who do not have flood insurance and do not know
:02:51. > :02:54.how they are going to pick themselves up. The positive aspect
:02:55. > :02:59.about being here in the small Texan town is that everybody has rallied
:03:00. > :03:02.round. The Baptist Church has been where people have been evacuated to
:03:03. > :03:07.and there is a very strong sense of a community that is resilient and
:03:08. > :03:11.determined to do all it can to recover from this. My colleague,
:03:12. > :03:12.James Cook, has been in the hardest hit area in Houston. Here is his
:03:13. > :03:13.report. Three days after Hurricane Harvey
:03:14. > :03:18.smashed into their state, Texans are still struggling
:03:19. > :03:21.in its wake. they called for help all night,
:03:22. > :03:25.but no one answered. In the end, it wasn't police
:03:26. > :03:28.or fire fighters who came to the rescue, but some
:03:29. > :03:31.friends with a boat. They say they called 911
:03:32. > :03:33.and there was no answer Well, we just happened
:03:34. > :03:38.to be here and we had a boat And that's what's happening
:03:39. > :03:42.all over Texas, isn't it? Texans have formed their own armada
:03:43. > :03:48.offering a helping hand You must be grateful
:03:49. > :03:53.to these guys here. Grateful to actually the
:03:54. > :03:56.whole community, seeing Houston being together, helping each other
:03:57. > :04:00.out, that's really touching and I was telling my mom yesterday
:04:01. > :04:03.I wish I actually had In moments like this,
:04:04. > :04:07.we all need it. We didn't expect this
:04:08. > :04:11.to happen at all. Have you ever seen
:04:12. > :04:12.anything like this before? This neighbourhood
:04:13. > :04:15.really doesn't flood, Well, there is frenetic
:04:16. > :04:23.activity here as boats This little vessel alone has rescued
:04:24. > :04:30.30 people so far and the situation Even at 75 years old,
:04:31. > :04:37.this is something For a time, this picture seemed
:04:38. > :04:44.to sum up the desperation. It's La Vita Bella care home,
:04:45. > :04:46.and the owner's daughter She said within ten to 15 minutes,
:04:47. > :04:53.the water went from ankle high to waist high, so immediately,
:04:54. > :04:59.they were under water and floating. The National Guard saw the photo
:05:00. > :05:03.and everyone was led to safety. Many more are still waiting
:05:04. > :05:06.to be rescued though. In desperation, all they can do
:05:07. > :05:10.is cling on and call for help. We have a two-storey home,
:05:11. > :05:13.and on the first floor, And all the furniture's
:05:14. > :05:18.just floating. In Houston alone, more than
:05:19. > :05:26.20 helicopters are flying rescue missions, but pulling people
:05:27. > :05:29.from the floods is delicate And the city's troubles
:05:30. > :05:35.may yet get worse. Parts of those regions
:05:36. > :05:38.will continue to receive incredibly heavy rain that will
:05:39. > :05:43.lead to even more flooding Texas is now saturated
:05:44. > :05:50.and it is struggling. More than 2000 people
:05:51. > :05:52.have been rescued. Stacy Lamb the US, response director
:05:53. > :06:09.at charity Convoy Of Hope has been helping those affected
:06:10. > :06:18.by the flooding. He is in Victoria, Texas, which is
:06:19. > :06:25.midway between Houston and Corpus Christi. What is your priority right
:06:26. > :06:29.now in terms of disaster management? Our priority right now is to get
:06:30. > :06:35.food, water and hygiene items and other emergency supplies to those
:06:36. > :06:39.that are affected by the storms. And is the hardest hit area for you at
:06:40. > :06:44.the moment Houston or are you beginning to serve communities in
:06:45. > :06:48.the suburbs as well? We have been in the area for a couple of days
:06:49. > :06:54.already. We started in Corpus Christi. We are in Victoria, Texas,
:06:55. > :06:57.today as you said. Victoria and point south-east of here are the
:06:58. > :07:03.areas that were hit by the eyeball, so that is where a lot of damage is
:07:04. > :07:06.still we are serving these areas right now with food, water,
:07:07. > :07:12.emergencies applies not only during Victoria but places like Ingleside
:07:13. > :07:16.and areas like that. Beyond here, we will be into the Houston area is in
:07:17. > :07:24.the coming days as the waters recede. Stacey, how would you
:07:25. > :07:28.describe with all your experience in disaster relief the impact of the
:07:29. > :07:33.hurricane and the tropical storm, the aftermath of Harvey? It has been
:07:34. > :07:42.very widespread. You have the impact of the Hyuri came Hyuri came itself
:07:43. > :07:47.with the damage, things like that. You can't have that with the
:07:48. > :07:51.rainfall that has just inundated the area and it is devastating to many
:07:52. > :07:55.of these communities. The president is going to visit
:07:56. > :08:00.Corpus Christi in Texas tomorrow. Do you think that will have a
:08:01. > :08:06.galvanising impact on the rescue and relief effort or is it already very
:08:07. > :08:11.competently underway? I think it is very well organised already. A lot
:08:12. > :08:14.of the local State federal officials are doing an excellent job, a lot of
:08:15. > :08:18.organisations like ours and others in the area along with a lot of
:08:19. > :08:23.volunteers are doing the best they can to help out the people that are
:08:24. > :08:31.affected by this flooding and the hurricane. The storm is moving east
:08:32. > :08:34.of Houston now, moving even into Louisiana. It is forecast to in the
:08:35. > :08:39.next few days and there is a state of emergency. What provisions are
:08:40. > :08:43.you making to help at Louisiana? Well, we are continuing working with
:08:44. > :08:54.local partners, churches, state and federal officials and wherever we
:08:55. > :09:03.can, we will do so. Thank you so much for joining us. Giving is an
:09:04. > :09:11.update on the disaster relief efforts. I'm live here in La Grange,
:09:12. > :09:19.Texas, where the Colorado River has broken its banks. The river is now
:09:20. > :09:25.55 feet, it is cresting, people here are beginning the process of
:09:26. > :09:28.cleaning up. Ruined homes and ruined businesses, and extraordinarily
:09:29. > :09:35.catastrophic event and it is not over yet. Taxi in London.
:09:36. > :09:40.German prosecutors say a nurse who is serving a life sentence
:09:41. > :09:43.may have killed as many as 90 people.
:09:44. > :09:45.Niels Hoegel was convicted and jailed two years ago
:09:46. > :09:47.for giving lethal drug injections to intensive care patients.
:09:48. > :09:50.Investigators have since exhumed more than a hundred bodies
:09:51. > :09:53.of patients who died in clinics where he worked.
:09:54. > :10:03.From Berlin, Damien McGuinness reports.
:10:04. > :10:05.This man could turn out to be the deadliest serial killer
:10:06. > :10:09.In 2015, former nurse Niels Hoegel was sent to jail
:10:10. > :10:14.But police now say they've found evidence that he murdered
:10:15. > :10:20.around 90 other patients and that there are dozens of other suspected
:10:21. > :10:27.TRANSLATION: If the clues had been duly investigated at the time,
:10:28. > :10:30.even in Delmenhorst hospital, then the deaths of many patients,

:10:35. > :10:37.The nurse injected patients at this hospital with drugs
:10:38. > :10:41.His aim was to then resuscitate them
:10:42. > :10:47.There are now allegations that some in the hospital

:10:53. > :10:55.that the former management was aware that Niels H had an awful

:11:03. > :11:06.about whether hospital staff turned a blind eye
:11:07. > :11:11.and about why it took so long for the murders to be uncovered.
:11:12. > :11:17.Let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news.

:17:13. > :17:15.David Davis has called for the EU to show "flexibility

:17:26. > :17:28.Speaking in the past hour, Michel Barnier said the clock
:17:29. > :17:30.was ticking and the time had come for Britain
:17:31. > :17:45.I am concerned time passes quickly. I welcome the UK Government's paper
:17:46. > :17:56.and we have read them very carefully. But we need UK positions
:17:57. > :17:57.on all separation issues. This is necessary to make sufficient
:17:58. > :17:57.progress. Gavin Lee is in Brussels
:17:58. > :18:11.following those talks. Can we sent a fair amount of
:18:12. > :18:18.impatience and frustration in what he is saying? Yes, I think the
:18:19. > :18:23.convivial howl's the weather has gone up. In round one around two,
:18:24. > :18:27.they were still swapping presence of walking sticks and all sorts, but
:18:28. > :18:33.now it is all about needling from the EU side through the chief
:18:34. > :18:37.negotiator saying, hang on a minute. We want to see more from the UK. We
:18:38. > :18:41.want to see them get serious from the British position saying that
:18:42. > :18:45.actually the EU can be more flexible and I think that is pretty obvious
:18:46. > :18:49.especially from David Davis today. Making it clear that he wants not to
:18:50. > :18:52.be hemmed in and I think that is where we are seeing this battle at
:18:53. > :18:55.the moment. The EU side says there are three things that they want to
:18:56. > :19:00.be satisfied on, the Irish border, how much Britain has to pay in
:19:01. > :19:06.settlement, Bill is potentially, and citizens' rights. David Davis has
:19:07. > :19:10.published many paper setting out issues like customs of the British
:19:11. > :19:13.side wants to discuss many options but the EU side says they want to
:19:14. > :19:17.stick with those three and that has gone on now into the third month.
:19:18. > :19:21.There are only 14 months left before Britain has to leave the EU come
:19:22. > :19:24.what may in March 20 19. I haven't heard too many people saying we
:19:25. > :19:31.should expect very much from this particular round of talks. We have
:19:32. > :19:37.had the build-up to it. It is hardly McGregor which versus Mayweather.
:19:38. > :19:40.Both sides are trying to say they are trying to get something perhaps
:19:41. > :19:44.in September or October but this is the week. This is the week for the
:19:45. > :19:48.technical bodies which basically means nothing will happen this week.
:19:49. > :19:52.I think it will be dancing in the shadows with slight nuances where
:19:53. > :19:57.they try to test each other's positions and give examples. One is
:19:58. > :20:01.the money, the idea that the EU wants a methodology to say that
:20:02. > :20:05.explores why equals dead and whether that principle is agreed. At the
:20:06. > :20:11.moment, Britain says no, we don't agree. The other issue is citizens'
:20:12. > :20:14.rights. Is the Court of Justice who rules over this? Britain want
:20:15. > :20:15.something else on the moment there is very little meeting ground. Thank
:20:16. > :20:18.you. From today, anyone manufacturing,
:20:19. > :20:21.selling or even carrying a plastic bag in Kenya faces a fine of $45,000
:20:22. > :20:24.or four years in jail. Piles of waste plastic bags
:20:25. > :20:26.are a common site across Kenya but there are fears of plastic
:20:27. > :20:29.contamination in the food chain, because livestock often graze
:20:30. > :20:32.on these rubbish dumps. Growing mounds of rubbish
:20:33. > :20:38.at a neighbourhood in It's a common sight across Kenya's
:20:39. > :20:46.rapidly expanding urban centres. Even cattle here have come to love
:20:47. > :20:50.browsing through the heaps of garbage looking for kitchen
:20:51. > :20:53.leftovers which they consume along with the plastic bags
:20:54. > :20:56.used to dispose of them. With time, they tie around
:20:57. > :21:02.inside of the stomach and then finally you find a cow unable
:21:03. > :21:06.to walk or unwell and at the moment because the head of the cow looks OK
:21:07. > :21:11.but now sometimes the cow can not stand, can not function well,
:21:12. > :21:15.and then we just take A report by the United Nations
:21:16. > :21:22.Environment Programme found that cattle slaughtered in Nairobi's
:21:23. > :21:25.abattoirs had huge amounts of polythene bags in their guts

:21:29. > :21:33.it is determined to implement Even visitors coming
:21:34. > :21:38.into the country will be affected. I cannot guarantee that on the 1st
:21:39. > :21:42.September we will be able to confiscate bags
:21:43. > :21:46.at all of the airports and ports of entry the way others have been
:21:47. > :21:51.able to do but that is the direction in which we are moving,
:21:52. > :21:55.which is to say to all visitors coming to Kenya please do not
:21:56. > :22:01.bring your plastic carrier bags. Consumers have been busy looking
