00:00Good evening and welcome to a new episode of your show, What's Happening?
00:05Today is Tuesday, September 29, 2026, corresponding to Rabi Al-Fani, 18.
00:14After we saw what happened in Nepal with a new deluge,
00:18and we said that the giant El Niño phenomenon or the El Niño monster had a major impact,
00:25but we cannot forget that this phenomenon or this monster has also reached the waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
00:32As a result, the temperature of the Mediterranean Sea rose,
00:36and this increase manifested as higher waves along the coasts of several countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea.
00:44It also led to an increase in the amount of water vapor in the air,
00:49and an increase in water vapor in the air always...
00:55and he built up that can set off sun and storms,
00:58and that is what happened in Europe, and that is what happened in Spain today,
01:03due to a very severe storm that caused massive flooding in Spain,
01:09specifically in Barcelona, in the region of Catalonia.
01:14As you can see on your screen,
01:18the floods almost completely submerged the metro station called Mundet metro station,
01:25inundating it, submerging it, and bringing it nearly to a complete halt.
01:31Around 120 millimeters of rain
01:34was recorded in the past few hours in the Spanish town of Torelles de la Bregat.
01:44Let's also look at these new clips,
01:47specifically coming from San Jose de la Bregat, near Barcelona.
01:51I'm not sure if anyone is watching us from there,
01:54where these new clips show the destruction.
02:00How the streets have actually turned into rushing rivers?
02:06The streets have turned into rivers of rainwater
02:09due to the sheer volume of flash floods,
02:12the recorded rainfall,
02:14and depending on the area...
02:16Official figures show this is the heaviest rainfall
02:20recorded in this part of Spain since 2013,
02:23the last time there were floods
02:27and such heavy rainfall like this
02:29was in 2013 and today is 2026.
02:33So 13 years later,
02:35history repeats itself,
02:37but on an even bigger and more massive scale than in 2013.
02:42In any case, let's go check it out together.
02:47Here's a third clip of the floods in Barcelona,
02:50the new floods and raging floodwaters in Barcelona.
02:53and the Catalonia region,
02:55as I mentioned,
02:55right here in front of you on the screen.
03:00It seems that this very heavy rain
03:02will continue over the next few hours.
03:06Take care, everyone in Spain,
03:08and may God help you.
03:09I'm with you, Ahmad Al-Darama,
03:10host of the Shosaya program,
03:12wishing you all the best.
