its way across japan. really over the next couple of days. the winds will continue to weaken, the rain will continue to intensify. you can see as we go on through sunday the wet and windy weather will make its way across and takes it's way further north. this is only monday. we're still in the southern half. it will be use before that system makes its way through. over the next two and a half three days some of these areas could easily see 300 millimeters of rain and that could lead to life-threatening mudslides as well. a little further westward we're concerned with our system making it's way across india. at the moment it's sustained 205 kilometers per hour. again we're looking at flash floods and damaging winds, nick. >> thank you very much, indeed. on to brazil where the largest cities are suffering it's worst

9:34 am
distinguish coordinated or orchestrated actions from simple copy catting. >> what possible interventions can take place to resolve the situation taking place? >> well of course egypt has vital interest in creating some stability in neighboring libya. the al sisi government would rather focus on getting egypt's economy back on track rather than constantly dealing with domestic or international security issues. an international coalition has become embroiled once again in libya while very busy in syria and iraq with not very concrete or clear gains being made there. i imagine there will be quite some reluctance internationally getting involved in yet another
9:35 am
hornet's nest. >> it's not just there. libya, syria, iraq, yemen, it is a very dangerous time. >> it is, indeed, a very insecure and destabilizing time. for egypt there is not only the western border with libya to worry about, there is also this famous black hole called the sinai desert where you have it being operational, and there is conceivably a possibility that i.s. after it switches its attention from the northern borders of syria, turkey and iraq, south wards to countries like jordan, possibly israel, that would bring them dangerously close to the sinai desert as well. >> thank you for your time. thank you very much, indeed. >> you're welcome. >> king phillippe has sworn in a new center right government under the government. s the second time in a row that

9:39 am
coming year. >> that's not enough. the german government may see it's budget as prudent and an example to its neighbors running deficits, but the international monetary fund and the european central bank both say germany should be spending more, especially on infrastructure. they say that would help kick start european economies in the doldrums. even advisers counseling the government should be doing more if only for this country's sake. >> reporter: they say that germany is not doing as well as many think. >> simply to keep the value of the infrastructure up, see the gaps and in particular the area of public infrastructure. >> it has decided to switch to renewable energy in 2050 but it

opponents. >> i lived most my youth in terror to the point where i got to the home and i was talking to my father and mother in whisper. because duvalier has an incredible network of spies. >> the duvalier's led haiti for almost 30 years and at great costs. continues of thousands were tortured and killed while both father and son led lavish lifestyles. but they remain divisive characters. some feel loss, and many more are simply too young to remember. >> both duvalier's died free men, and for many victims that is an injustice. his grave now lace vandalized and empty, some say is a proper epitaph for a man who did so much harm. >> the funeral is actually under
9:43 am
way now? >> reporter: it has started. it's not a state funeral. it's just a funeral for family and friends. we have seen powerful people turn up, former generals. no one from the government. but you can hear people singing rousing hymns. many supporters here, including his partner and his son, who is a current aide in the government, but he remains a divisive character here. we arrived the day it was announcedthe day after it was announced that he died from a heart attack. many people said that life under jean-claude duvalier was better, there was more respect to each other. there was no security, of course, but it depends on who you talk to. if you talk to the victims of
9:44 am
the duvalier regime, they feel cheated by his death. he was facing charges when he got back here in 2011. that court case all ground to a halt. but today at least at this church it's all about remembering the former president. we know there are possibly some other protests going on in port-au-prince. >> he was notorious in life and given those divisions that you described you wonder how he will be remembered by history. >> well, really, the thing you have to remember about haiti at the home is that third of the population is below the age of 15. many more are in their 20s and simply don't remember the rule of jean-claude duvalier. he left in exile in 1986. he lived in paris for 25 years and reportedly with money he stole from the haitian government. he does remain a divisive character. we've met plenty of his victims over the past few days who feel cheated that they didn't see
