in? yes, they could be brought in. and if we do share common interests with the taliban, as the president suggested yesterday, we ll be getting support from the taliban because they don t have these capabilities. before we withdrew, maybe they were confused and they could say, well, this isis-k attack, even though we don t support them, maybe if they go against the government, that s helpful. now the taliban can t say that. so that s another source of intelligence. afghanistan today has mobile phone networks, they have people who report. they have people who speak english. they have people who talk to us, thousands of people who talk to us. so this is not the remote area that it was 20 years ago. this is terrain we know, and people we know, and when the president says we will find them, hunt them down and make them pay, we have the means to do it. general, you served at all different levels of command.

about moving back in. many of them have been relocated to hotels in the region, or emergency shelters even staying in people s homes. people have opened their doors to what they re describing as the flood refugees. just outside, there are emergency vehicles, amphibious vehicles gathering. this has become a headquarters for the search and rescue operation. i say rescue operation. with every day that passes, of course, hopes of finding people alive fade. there are still a good number of people missing. the authorities here say it s impossible to actually determine how many are unaccounted for because mobile phone networks are down in so much of this region, meaning it s impossible for people to communicate. even so, the death toll is rising. it s expected to continue to rise even as the waters begin to slowly subside. the german president, frank walter steinmeier, is due to visit the area later on today. he, i think, echoes the sentiments of so many in this region when he describes wha

they are trying to clear up, but you can see the destruction for yourself. this is an ahrweiler, in this district alone police said this morning 90 people have now been confirmed dead and they expect number to rise, and when you look around, when you look at destruction, how vast that water is flowing, you can see why, there are still people unaccounted for. it is difficult for the authorities to tell us how many are missing because mobile phone networks are down in many of the affected areas. they are continuing with their search and rescue operations. here in parts of the town which are habitable, they are trying their best to clear up, everything and everyone is covered in a thick sticky mud. there is no power here, they are relying on generators where they can get them, know where to buy food, there are people coming in with a few donations, they are doing what they can help by the fire service and the army. i mentioned that search and rescue operation, it is ongoing. this morning
