The government in poland has warned of a critical night ahead with the country facing severe flooding. Authorities have shut a Border Crossing with the Czech Republic after a riverflooded its banks. Theyve also closed several roads and halted trains. Polish prime Minister Donald Tusk has been visiting flooded areas in silesia and he spoke to reporters there. Translation the low pressure that brought these heavy rains i to poland and the Czech Republic is not entirely predictable. These forecasts have changed within 48 hours, but generally they are not optimistic. What awaits us Tonight And Part of sunday will be heavier, actually record breaking rainfall in many places. Our correspondent in warsaw, adam easton, has the latest. Well, what this cyclone is doing, catherine, is causing extremely heavy rainfall, which is leading to dangerously high River Levels, water levels, in the rivers across the region. Many rivers have burst their banks, and thats causing flooding in many countries, particularly, as you mentioned, in romania, where four people have been found dead in the east of the country by the River Danube delta. 5,000 homes have been damaged in the flooding, and the romanian authorities have, as you said, set up Displacement Camps and are providing blankets and food for people who have been forced to evacuate their homes. In romania and in the Czech Republic, the floods have caused Tens Of Thousands of people to lose power. They havent got power at the moment, and its disrupting transport in the Czech Republic and in poland. And the worst could be yet to come, catherine, because donald tusk, the polish Prime Minister he is visiting the worst affected areas in southern poland, which borders the Czech Republic, and he says its going to be a critical night. And full mobilisation is required because these River Levels are not at their highest. The rainfall is expected to continue, and these River Levels are expected to get higher, and more and more rivers are expected to be breached, and the flooding is expected to be worse. But what the authorities across the region are saying is please, everyone, co operate with the Emergency Services. When they ask you to evacuate your homes, which is obviously a very difficult decision for people to leave their homes, they say please co operate and please evacuate. Because the most important thing, as the romanian Prime Minister said, in the worst affected areas is to prevent more deaths. Because weve seen many deaths from flooding in central and eastern europe, and many people are saying that the water theyre seeing, the rainfall and the River Levels theyre seeing, reminds them of the massive flooding, severe flooding, in Central Europe in 1997, for example, when more than 100 people died in the czech Republic And Poland due to extremely heavy rainfall.

Images show burmese people rescuing what they can, including livestock, from the rising water. Translation its terrible to experience flooding because we cannot live our lives well when it happens. It can be ok for people who have money, but for the people who have to work day to day for their meals, its not ok at all. So im afraid of the floods. Heavy rain has also caused the Mekong River to break its banks, causing flooding in areas of Northern Thailand and across the border in laos.

The us national security adviser, jake sullivan, says intense conversations are still taking place among Western Allies on whether to let ukraine Attack Russia with donated long range weapons. The subject was discussed on friday at a Meeting Betweenjoe Biden and keir starmer, but no conclusion was announced. Ukraines President Zelensky expressed frustration after the Meeting But President bidens top Security Advisor has now insisted the issue is still on the agenda. Jake sullivan spoke to a Security Conference in kyiv by video link. He said that President Biden would use the rest of his term putting ukraine in the best possible position to prevail against russia. And i think having a conversation that puts all of the pieces together, what we can offer up, what we can support ukraine with, and then how ukraine can look that that in the context of a strategy for diplomacy, that is what we hope to bring together at The End of this month in new york. President biden at that point will still have four months left of his term and hes determined use those four months to put ukraine in the best possible position to prevail. Lets speak to dr stephen hall, Assistant Professor in russian and post soviet politics at the university of bath. Really good to have you on the programme and thank you for joining us.

I think the talks will be about how ukraine would use the weapons and they have sent a documented report to the british and americans about what targets they want to use the missiles for. We believe they are things like oil depots, command centres, munitions dumps, these sorts of things. This is primarily all about the americans and to a lesser extent the british, sorting themselves out and making the decision as to whether they will send long Range Missile to ukraine, or not. And there are other points as well in terms of what america can provide. I believe there is supposed to be 5 Billion they have still not spent on providing ukraine with munitions. That is also a possibility. Munitions. That is also a possibility munitions. That is also a possibility. Munitions. That is also a ossibili. ,. ,. , possibility.

Certainly they can move forward on the can move forward on the battlefield, and they asked doing that are moving forward in some places in the donbas and the offensive in Kursk And Counteroffensive on different sides. Russia is moving forward, albeit slowly, and certainly they have moved a lot of the planes and bombers behind the 300 Kilometre Line that the runway of missiles can reach. But there are still plenty of issues, things such as munitions dumps that can still be hit by ukraine and long Range Missile is would play an important part of that attack. ,. , attack. On the other side of this, its attack. On the other side of this, its not attack. On the other side of this, its notjust attack. On the other side of this, its notjust about this, its notjust about russia preparing for the use of these weapons but the retaliation that is concerning to nato troops. What sort of retaliation could we see . We have seen strong comments from Vladimir Putin saying do not cross the red lines. What do you think that retaliation could be, do not only ukraine but nato countries . I could be, do not only ukraine but nato countries . But nato countries .

That certainly what we will see is more what is classified as hybrid warfare, for want of a better phrase, in terms of arson attacks, destabilising or attempts to destabilise the west and some small ways. We seen this in terms of the role the kremlin has paid for a long time. The ukraine rhetoric i think is very much rhetorical, at least for the moment, and i dont think russia will use a nuclear weapon because it was told by India And China that would be The End of that relationship. If it were to use a nuclear weapon, relationship. If it were to use a nuclearweapon, it relationship. If it were to use a nuclear weapon, it would be bad news. Ithink a nuclear weapon, it would be bad news. I think it is by putin believes crimea is part of Russia And Ukraine has struck crimea repeatedly and russia has done very little about it. The ukraine invasion of kursk, putin did very little about it. Im not saying he would not resort to a nuclear weapon but i think thats way down the line and i think this is very much the bluster of a bully and one of the things that bullies have to do and western states have generally failed to do is Stand Up to him. That is generally how russia reacts, once it is confronted by something, it backs down. This is all generalisation, but we can still monitor the developments in terms of building up towards a nuclear weapon or the use of a nuclear weapon or the use of a nuclear weapon or the use of a nuclear weapon.
