a desert island right now there's no water there's little food and there's no inhabitants apart from a couple of ponies or horses and dogs and cats around here the only other things here us and a few people from the government officials that don't just come out just to check out at this stage what exactly the scale of the disaster is and if we pan a little bit to our left you can get some sort of idea going past a call that just someone left there you see is an area of concrete that was. shot a shoe shop at a clothing shop before you see it not just time it's actually just completely gone all you've got there is the concrete floor and we've seen other things and it's just the same in the other not everything is not damaged we've also seen houses just got the fronts ripped off of them like the old house and other structures are relatively ok but the government says that about ninety percent of the island has suffered severe structural damage here and of course it's not just about buildings

that's people's homes and their lives as well things in homes like malta log watches that have just bought clothes toys that have had to be abandoned the whole population has about one thousand six hundred people have been evacuated to the island next door. and they're just waiting really to see how many months it's going to be before things go back to something approaching normality here so they can resume their lives we talking to some people from the government here and they just said listen this is too big for us to get hold of class cells we're going to need international aid there are some countries that apparently pitching in already venezuela which has close ties to the caribbean islands which have formed the sort of bastion of support for them as a partner or been already been pitching in for help and they're looking for help from other sources the governments put a price tag on everything that has to be done through coup. the island of bob uter at about two hundred million dollars it's not just the things we already talked about there's also the electricity the telephone systems are down well the saying

is that we want to try and remake this island but also remake it better so that the next hurricane that comes along we're more prepared to deal with it. or it's feared a quarter of all homes in the florida keys have been destroyed after a hurricane or a tour through the island chain some residents have been allowed back but sauza still casal from their homes as authorities struggle to assess the full damage further north the weakening storm is continuing to push through alabama and mississippi after causing flooding in coastal towns across the state of georgia and south carolina millions in florida still without power and a gallagher joins us live now from miami and so we have a whole new set of challenges in the aftermath of the storm things are hardly getting back to normal are they. well here in miami starting to feel like things are getting back to normal i just saw the first flights coming into miami airport that i've seen in the first couple of days i just got a phone call from the local power company saying that power has been now restored

to most of miami beach but of course we didn't bear the brunt of the storm it was the florida keys that really got the brunt of the storm as a category five as you said one in four homes there severely damaged they are beginning to let residents slowly go back to their homes but what they're being greeted with is scenes of devastation there are other factors here about six million residents currently without power rick scott the governor here saying that is now our priority getting that power back to people so they can go back to their homes because of course a lot of people left for places like orlando places like atlanta they've got to come back and there's not really much point in coming back until that power is restored of course in places like jacksonville which is up in the florida panhandle there are warnings there from the mayor that those tidal surges may once again come into that city and it's already under water so that's something else to keep an eye on but certainly in places like miami the business owners are being talking to the hotel owners keen to get the message out that miami beach is almost open for

business because remember tourism is the backbone of this state. and what is there may be a bit too soon to assess this but what is the general verdict on how well prepared the authorities were for this. well i think there are a couple of important lessons to be taken from this the first one is that the officials were ready they got those warnings out early most people here had about a week to prepare so they could board up the homes and that's very important but there is one caveat in all that not is that the devastation wasn't quite as bad as predicted so the next time a hurricane will come along and there will be one because florida gets hit by more hurricanes than any other state people might not be as willing to listen to people like rick scott telling them to get out which was sage advice at the time because we saw this storm coming in it was a category five initially the eye the storm was heading for us here in miami but

there's always that mentality in places like florida where people just want to ride it out and they think there will be ok that could be a problem the other lesson to be learned is technology is very important in all of this those those capabilities of tracking the storm watching it change minute by minute hour by hour that's very important of course ultimately is very important the storm tracked over to the west coast because that meant it lost power fairly quickly it wasn't hitting highly populated areas but all in all florida was ready people listen they heeded the warnings they got out of the way and now they're trying to get back to normal all right thanks very much annie gallagher live for us in miami well elsewhere the french president has been visiting french islands battered by hurricane on the last week and i know macron was briefed by disaster officials on the island of why don't live where aid efforts for st martin are being coordinated ten people died in the french part of the island and on the nearby nearby island sound by telling me. feel sick you decided to leave for those who

live on the island there is anger because people are tired i understand this anger and i'm also going to through march and because of this to reassure people to show them full determination to console and also to listen to their anger because it is there it is normal and it's my role also to accept this. u.s. president donald trump has played down the importance of the new u.n. sanctions against north korea over its nuclear and missile tests the security council unanimously approved a resolution on monday which restricts oil imports and bans textile exports but trump hinted that much stronger action will be needed against pyongyang in the future we had a vote yesterday on sanctions we think it's just another very small step. not a big deal rex and i were just discussing that not vague i don't know that has any

impact but certainly it was nice to get a fifteen to nothing vote but those sanctions are nothing compared to what ultimately will have to happen well the new sanctions were significantly watered down to avoid a veto by russia and china they still provoked the final reaction from north korea who warned the u.s. it could face the greatest pain it's ever experienced kathy novak has more from seoul this was the result the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. wanted even though nikki haley had to weaken the resolution to get it a unanimous vote to punish north korea for its latest nuclear bomb test today the security council has acted in a different way today we're attempting to take the future of the north korean nuclear program out of the hands of its outlaw regime. at a u.n. sponsored conference on disarmament in geneva north korea's ambassador said his country also known as the d.p. r. k.

condemned the sanctions in the strongest terms the t p r k is ready to use any form of ultimatum means the forthcoming measures by d.p. r. k. will make of the us so for the creates pain is never experienced in its history. before the vote in new york celebrations in pyongyang for the scientists developing the north's nuclear bomb and missile technology you wanted to ring risottos your moon the research hydrogen bomb test which we conducted was. hello there we've had some rather serious flooding across parts of your recently festival italy so the heavy downpours but now they've moved across croatia as well here's an image showing how heavy that rain was as it pounded down and then the flooding started some parts of croatia reported up to two hundred eighty

millimeters of rain from this system and that to give us a major problem with the flooding now the system responsible is pulling away towards the north as you can see from the satellite pictures say things for this region a definitely coming down now in fact there's not a great to left to it as we head through wednesday really have broken up instead we'll see more intense storms working from the northwest so lots of heavy rain here oversee not that warm either and that gradually pushes its way southwards as we head through thursday so on thursday again it's the hours where we're going to see some of the heaviest of the rains and they could be some problems here to the north of that staying cool to seventeen in london but down towards the southeast and parts of europe still very very hot here with bucharest up around twenty nine for the other side of the mediterranean you can see the winds here all filtering down from the north so it's certainly not too hot to along the north coast of egypt or into libya force in chile as the winds are still feeding down from the northwest on wednesday but it changes for us on thursday and the temperatures here shoot up.
