Angela merkel has expressed shock at what she called � surreal destruction� caused by Flash Flooding on a visit to one of the worst Hit Towns schuld in the west of germany. More Heavy Rain has caused further flooding in southern germany and austria. With more, heres our europe correspondentjenny hill. We really need help here, she says. And outside the village shop, you can see why. As in so many other parts of western germany, people in this town still cant quite believe what happened. We met gertrude here. Volunteers have brought food, water. She told us she spent the night alone, upstairs, as water flooded into her house. Ive never seen anything like it, never. It leaves you speechless. Gertrude, he says, The Two Of Us will never see this place come back to what it was. We will never see it again. Its no longer my home. Its terrible. Earlier, Angela Merkel came to see for herself. This is the town of schuld, where whole houses were destroyed. Translation its shocking. Im tempted to say the german language has no words to describe the destruction thats occured here. But i can also see huge comfort in the way that people have come together to help each other. The waters subsiding in western germany, but overnight, more flooding in other parts of the country, High Water in bavaria, saxony. In austria, too, towns and cities deluged. Here, they are doing their best to clear up. Translation people have | lost their lives, their houses, their normal roads, but there is huge solidarity. Theyre going to need it in the weeks to come. Were seeing this kind of destruction all over west germany, and whats particularly hard for people in places like this to bear is that it could be weeks or maybe months before they get back electricity, connection. In one part of the region, the authorities are saying that gas for heating and hot Water Wont be back until well into the autumn. Germany is mourning its dead. For the survivors, this ordeal is far from over. Jenny hill, bbc news. As we heard, Angela Merkel also said on that visit that the world needs to pick up the pace in its Battle Against Global Warming. Climate Change Campaigner Luisa Noy Bawer says the effects are already being felt in germany imean, i mean, eventually, we are talking of germany, one of the richest countries on earth, and for a long time, people discussed climate change, yes, an issue that didnt concern them you know is an issue for others, of the future, and i we are seeing one of the richest parts of the world getting hit as hard, so, of course, some parts of the debate will drastically be, you know, we talked about differently because right now we are talking about the cost of action, we are talking about the cost of an action. Effectively what we are seeing right now with all the devastating damage that are happening right now. We cannot afford an action any longer, and that is becoming out on the clear to our leaders, but also for people who are going boating in september, and we are very much counting on them to make sure that they are voting in favour of the future of climate action, thats what we have decided as a movement. Thats a climate Change Activist there. The bbc� s Kasia Madera is in the town of sinzig sitting on the on the banks of the rhine. Areas of the town were submerged in up to three metres of water in the height of the floods. She spoke to one resident whose house was deluged. Everything we had, it is here, is full of mud. The flood basically destroyed everything we had. And now youve got an army of volunteers helping you. Who are these people . A lot of them, i dont know. They came on the streets. They asked if we need help. We need help. The basement is full of water. We have a lot of bottles from the nearby bottle factory, so it is really a mess. And youve got a little boy. Where are you living now . What do you do . At the moment, we live in an apartment of 15 square metres. We have a bed of one metre, 40, sleeping with three people. So it is doable, but it is really hard. Were you ever expecting anything like this to happen . And when it comes to the warning system, did you. You evacuated, didnt you . Yeah, we did. In the middle of the night, we decided to go, and actually ten minutes later, we would not have been able to leave the house. So we evacuated, the three of us, and we never expected something like that to happen. Never. The last big flood was four or five metres less than now, it was not even next to our house, and now everything is destroyed. How does it feel to see your house like this . It makes us cry every time we see it, it makes us cry whenever someone asks. We try to go and to move forward and to not. We are deeply shocked. We are under shock and we do not know. We just try to move on, we just try to be calm with our boy. And we do not know if we can come back to our house and we built so much, we invested so much, and we tried to build a home. Now our home is destroyed. One resident in germany speaking into cash madera. Other regions of europe have also been seeing Heavy Rains and flash floods. Hundreds of caravans and tents on a Camping Site in belgiums ar Den Area were damaged when the nearby river burst its banks. Many owners were left looking for their properties and salvaging what they could. Austrias Scenic Town of Hal Ine suffered severe damage when torrential rain sent Flood Water rushing throught the town centre, dragging cars and debris along. And in parts of sicily� s capital, palermo, sudden thunderstorms and Heavy Rains which hit the italian island turned roads into into rivers. Drivers trapped in their cars had to be rescued by the Fire Brigade in dinghies. The uk Prime Minister is now self isolating following contact with the Health Secretary Sajid Javid who has coronavirus. Downing street had to do a rapid U Turn after initially saying borisjohnson and the Uk Chancellor Rishi Sunak would be part of a Pilot Scheme allowing them to keep working if they tested negative every day. But with hundreds of thousands of people having to self isolate after a positive contact, they were met with a barrage of criticism, and mrjohnson conceded it was � important that everybody sticks to the same rules. It comes as almost all legal covid restrictions are due to be lifted in england on monday. Here� s our political correspondent nick eardley. Life might be feeling a bit more normal, but the impact of the pandemic is far from over. Hundreds of thousands of people have been told to self isolate in recent days. And now Track And Trace has hit the heart of government. The prime Minister And Chancellor are self isolating after the Health Secretary tested positive for covid yesterday. Boris johnson posted this video on twitter. We did look briefly at the idea of us taking part in the Pilot Scheme which allows people to test daily, but i think it� s far more important that everybody sticks to the same rules. The Prime Minister will now spend the next week here, his Country Retreat at chequers. But that wasn� t always the plan. This morning, number 10 said the Prime Minister wouldn� t have to self isolate because of a Pilot Scheme in Downing Street which allows participants to keep working if they do a daily test. A Cabinet Minister was sent out to defend the plan. It ensures that the pm, the chancellor can conduct the most Essential Business but at other times of the day. They won� t be mixing with people outside of their own households. There was criticism from politicians and businesses who face significant disruption. And less than an hour later, the government backed down. In york today, sympathy was in short supply. It was sort of comical, the fact that it was boris and rishi. It was, wasn� t it . Everyone is thinking the same. You have got a bit of common Sense And Everyone is thinking, right, well, they have done thatjust for themselves so they don� t have to self isolate. Weve all done everything we should have done, and we have done, but i do feel they should have done the same as us. Labour� s leader was critical, too. The only reason he has U Turned on this is because he has been busted. It is like Bank Robbers who got caught and now they are offering the money back. One rule for them, another for everyone else. It is contemptuous of the british public. This has been a pretty messy start to a week where Government Communication is going to be key. Most legal restrictions will be lifted in england tomorrow, but ministers don� t want this to be a free for all. They will still be urging caution and for people to behave responsibly. In leeds today, people were making the most of the weather, but with more freedoms comes risk. The government expects cases to rise in the coming weeks, but how high . I think it is almost certain we will get to 1,000 hospitalisations per day. It will almost certainly get to 100,000 cases a day. The real question is, do we get to double that or even higher . And that is where the Crystal Ball starts to fail. The Vaccine Roll Out has given ministers confidence, but it hasn� t change the fact that three will spend the first day without legal restrictions in self isolation. Nick eardley, bbc news. The latest round of afghan Peace Talks have concluded in the Gulf State of qatar as the violence intensifies across afghanistan.

We have been consolidated, and we are every Day Consulting with a big group of people in afghanistan, and we need to convey their message. You must be watching the events in afghanistan with concern, the taliban and overrunning districts. Many believe that this is just a sideshow for them, that they are bent on military victory.

His joy was in stark contrast to the other, a leader across the first three rounds but simply could not get going on sunday, finishing far shots off the pace alongsidejohn. He thoughtjordan a challenge, a poor start to his final round, but then he got the crowd dying as he closed within one, but then the parties dried up, which left ten utterly nerveless. The Pressure Pots just kept rolling into, and us when he thought it might unravel, he drained another.

With the Travel Rules Changing Tomorrow for people returning from some major holiday destinations, there� s been a scramble to rearrange plans to return home. Travellers arriving from france, which is on the Amber List, will need to quarantine for ten days regardless of their vaccination status. And the previously green list islands of mallorca, menorca and ibiza, will now move on to the Amber List it means compulsory quarantine for adults who are not double jabbed. Our Europe Correspondent Nick beake is on ibiza to assess the impact on Holiday Makers there. It was fun while it lasted. Their stay on Party Island is ending sooner than expected, a final drink before heading back to the uk to beat the latest quarantine rule change. We have to pay for the extra flight, miss two days holidayjust to come home on sunday so we can go to work and we can live our lives as normal. And what do you think about that . I� m not happy. I� d rather be here for two more days. We� ve had a great time. Ibiza� s great. I� d rather be here all week, but what can you do, eh . In the old days in ibiza, they� d be queuing for the clubs. These days, it� s for a Covid Test to get home. Nearly all the young british tourists we� ve met have only been given theirfirstjab, and so have had to act fast to avoid ten days in isolation when they return. Another summer of uncertainty is also hitting businesses on the island. Just two weeks ago, they were rejoicing when ibiza went onto the uk� s green watchlist. But now it� s off it, and so they� re bracing themselves for a big slump in the number of brits arriving. Some of the biggest venues on the island, already working with strict covid safe measures, are finding it impossible to plan ahead. I mean, at the moment, concerns over health are all powerful, and government are using it as a really blunt instrument. And theyre Making Decisions that, you know, frankly, theyre just crippling for businesses, theyre crippling for customers. The chopping and changing. Its notjust this hotel, the whole island lives or dies on what happens to tourism. Despite all the travel changes, more than 20 planes touched down today, bringing british Holiday Makers determined to get their summer break. Weve had our test, so its fine that we can come. Weve had our test, well have a good time here. L getting back might be tricky because obviously if we got| covid while were here, well be staying in a hotel and have to quarantine for two weeks| and we have to pay for that. But because we all work from home, were able to, like, Hopefullyjust Go Home and quarantine from home and still work from home and should be fine. But new arrivals will find that covid cases are also on the rise in the balearics. Still plenty of selfies, but dancing, strictly speaking, remains abandoned. Like Tourist Destinations across europe, they� re waiting and watching to see what happens next. Nick beake, bbc news, ibiza. Let� s get some of the day� S Other news. Israel has recorded a four month high in new daily coronavirus cases, going from almost none at all a few weeks ago to more than 800 a day although the number of serious cases remains low. The country vaccinated its Adult Population at the world� s fastest rate, and there� s now a rush to immunise the young; with no Firm Decision yet on whether to bring back major restrictions. Here� s our middle East Correspondent tom bateman. There are some nerves, a bit of comfort and lots of relief, too. Israel is racing to vaccinate its teenagers. This boy is only 12 and getting his second dose. I am here today to go back to regular life and to say enough to coronavirus. The Gold Family children are here with their mum. My dad told me he would never do anything that could hurt me, so i have nothing to worry about, says 12 year old noah. A third of israelis are under 16. And the Age Group is a big part of the new covid caseload, due to the Delta Variant brought in from abroad. Well, there is no way that anyone could be completely sure that travellers aren� t taking the virus with them when they fly. But here, they� ve been trying to crack down as hard as they can at the airport. It has been controversial and difficult, though, as this country struggles with the surge of the new variant. It� s israel� s delta dilemma. He is very excited about going to see his grandparents and friends, and were also excited. When was the last time you left the country . Christmas in germany. In israel, life� s been back to near normal for months, but then came the delta surge. Some blamed loopholes in Air Travel rules for it getting in. Officials say that� s now fixed. But in the face of the variant, the government so far is bringing back only modest restrictions. Well, if you� ve landed at ben gurion, you can� t actually leave the airport now until you� ve done this. So, could more restrictions return here . The top Government Adviser tells me the vaccines work, but they� re not bulletproof. Have you changed your own behaviours from, say, four weeks ago . Oh, yeah, i� m much more cautious. I� m much more reluctant to go into mass gatherings, in general enclosed, confined spaces. And i� m much more careful with my unvaccinated kids about selecting the confined indoor settings that they� re going to spend time in. Now, one of the world� s most vaccinated populations finds itself a Testing Ground again. Tom bateman, bbc news, jerusalem. You� re watching bbc news. Now it� s time for a look at the weather with susan. Hello. This weekend has brought lots of sunshine and lots of warmth to the uk. And there� s more to come on into the week ahead as well, as High Pressure keeps our weather largely settled. Saturday saw a new record high temperature in Northern Ireland. There was more cloud around here though on sunday, and that is because despite having High Pressure, we have still managed to work the remnants of a weak Cold Front into the north of the uk, through sunday, hence a Cooler Day for scotland and Northern Ireland and some more cloud around here. A Little Bit of that cloud will trickle down the North Sea Coast overnight as well. A pleasant enough night for going to sleep though for scotland and Northern Ireland, unlike the rather sticky, humid conditions which will persist across england and wales. Monday, a lot of fine weather to come, a lot of sunshine, some cloud will bother the North Sea Coast through the day but it should look brighter, particularly for Northern Scotland and Northern Ireland and it will become warmer once again, temperatures two or three degrees up on sunday. England and wales perhaps two or three degrees down but still very warm with temperatures in the high 20s. As High Pressure sticks around, very little difference in our scenario for tuesday, still plenty of fair weather to come, the slim chance of a shower across eastern england. It could produce quite a bit of rain if we do see a shower but it is a very small risk. We have got temperatures widely in the mid to high 20s. Wednesday, High Pressure sitting firmly in place, a Little Bit of North Sea cloud, perhaps a bit of Fairweather Cloud Inland but a lot of sunshine and a lot of warmth and that is building for Glasgow And Belfast through the middle of the week. Temperatures 26, 27 degrees here. Thursday it is looking very similar yet again. Sunshine dominating the picture, a Little Bit of Fairweather Cloud here or there and in that sunshine, temperatures mid to high 20s. The end of the week though does pose a Question Mark in terms of our forecast. Big areas of High Pressure, always slightly unpredictable to break down how quickly they will clear away, maybe friday but certainly on into next weekend, it looks like the picture will become dramatically different as low pressure sweeps into the uk, ushers in Cooler Air and i think we will see some pretty big thunderstorms for a time as well. This is bbc news. The latest headlines. The german chancellor Angela Merkel visits the region worst affected by devastating floods. She says the world must act faster in its Battle Against Global Warming. She pledged aid for rebuilding the area quickly. Translation it all suggests that it has something to do i with climate change. We have to hurry, we have to get a move on in the fight against climate change. The uk prime Minister And Chancellor have made a rapid U Turn and announced they will now self isolate, after being identified as contacts of the Health Secretary, who� s tested positive for coronavirus. We did look briefly at the idea of us taking part in the Pilot Scheme which allows people to test daily, but i think its far more important that everybody sticks to the same rules
