Recovery efforts are resuming today across central Texas for the victims of the devastating July 4th flash flooding.

The disaster claimed more than 130 lives, with rain and rising water levels forcing emergency crews to pause their search efforts over the weekend. Steve Fetterman has the latest now from Kerrville, Texas. The search for the missing here goes on, but in the last five days, very few bodies have been discovered. The sad reality hitting this town is that many people may never be found. On Sunday, however, the search had to be suspended. Torrential rains hit the area.

Flash flood warnings were issued. There was some flooding, some rivers overflowed, some streets were closed. In the end, there was no massive river surge. Any damage was relatively minor. But with everyone still on edge, the mayor of Curville, Joe Herring Jr., is urging residents to seek help. I personally went to get counseling this week and it helped me. I think it can help you.

The Trump administration is facing a growing backlash over its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

WATERMAN, W. WATERMAN, W. WATERMAN, There are multiple reports that he and his team called some of the Attorney General

Pam Bondi's most vocal critics to ask them to tamp things down and to also show support for her. The conspiracy around Epstein that he has this client list and that he was murdered to keep that list hidden is quite foundational to the MAGA movement because to them, it is proof of the so-called deep state covering things up to protect powerful people, particularly Democrats. And Trump and many in his administration really leaned into this conspiracy theory, promising to bring all of these, in their view, horrific cover-ups to light. And now these people, the MAGA-turned White House officials, are being seen as part of the deep state, willing to cover things up to stay in power.

Still with the Trump White House, it is changing course and has announced that it will be resuming Patriot missile shipments to the Ukrainian war effort. Comes just two weeks after the Pentagon said the shipments would be paused.

Here's President Trump. I haven't agreed on the number yet, but they're gonna have some because they do need protection. But the European Union is paying for it. We're not paying anything for it. But we will send it. It'll be business for us. We will send them patriots, which they desperately need,

because Putin really surprised a lot of people. He talks nice and then he bombs everybody in the evening. But there's a little bit of a problem there. I don't like it. Trump's special envoy to Ukraine arrived in Kiev earlier today for talks on strengthening the Ukrainian campaign against Russia. France is celebrating Bastille Day. Horses, tanks and thousands of people are marching today along the Champ de Lize. It was on this day in 1789 that the Bastille was stormed.

Today's festivities will be capped off with a light show over the Eiffel Tower and fireworks in almost every French community. And that is The World This Hour. For CBC News, I'm Joe Cummings.
