and of the international community. it's a very good question what we've seen at the u.n. security council the messaging coming out is that the unanimous in their support of the special envoys effects but you're right and what we're seeing is the continual supply of arms to parties of the conflict and that very much needs to stop and we also need much stronger calm to mation of all parties to the conflict to stop violations of international humanitarian and human rights law so to stop attacks on civilians to ensure that they are protected. and this is something that really there needs to be action as much as fast from the words thank you so much amanda for coming in talk to us welcome. can florence has made landfall on the u.s. east coast it's weakened to a category one storm but it's still expected to cause widespread damage forecasters are warning of catastrophic flooding and storm surges in three states north

carolina south carolina and virginia north carolina's governor is warning the storm will cause havoc for days the worst of the storm is not yet here with us or the early warning of the days to come surviving this storm will be attached but. in work common sense page. i began i got joins us now live from wilmington in north carolina on the stand your close and the to the eye of the storm there what does it look like what are conditions like right now. i mean a very different. thing to see some of these gusts i can certainly feel any sense of a category one storm now i'm easy to gusts around one hundred forty four kilometers i think the probably seeing the buildings behind me the whole the owning sirrah

been ripped down but that's not the biggest problem that's not the biggest concern for people that's it what really concerns some of the storm surges that have been predicted up to full meets now the other big fight to the other big worrying thing about hurricane florence is not acting like a normal car again they normally come in and then they go inland that sucks the power out of them as they go over the line this one is set to linger quite worrying for at least forty eight hours it could be sixty hours of rain to come makes it slightly going off now because we may well be in the eye of the storm right at the moment but if i just step out into the street i can give you an idea of how strong these just quickly are just as you will tell you could just really feel the power of this storm as it comes in and this is just the beginning as you heard the governor of north carolina talking about it already here going about four hundred thousand people are without power we've heard of about one hundred fifty people being rescued many people all because of course it was a mandatory evacuation order in this area about one point seven million people were told to get out many people decided to ride out still

a mountain essentially there on their own at the moment because as the storm surge comes in it may well swallow up many of the buildings in these two states north and south carolina but the rescue services are doing well they can but this is far from over hurricane florence maybe how bring over our heads for at least forty eight hours we can see as you were talking than the people driving behind you said the worst is still to come on their plans to do more evacuations i'm assuming the. where you are right now is not a place you'd want to be in forty eight hours. we keep you didn't get out by this point any studio you simply have to hunker down and make the best way to say drive around on the roads at the moment these wind gusts are really picking up as you can probably see but again it's that rainfall of the storm surge you simple justice and the authorities are especially worried about as we came in a couple of days ago most people did heed those warnings they got out there are

plenty of shelters for those people there are about four thousand national guard troops on standby old. all the resources skeptic and so all of this they offering but i cannot reach right this enough to still acting like a normal small base is going to just think the ropes it's moving at about a whole pace and as he came in bond yesterday he went down from a category four to a two to a wall but as he came in london got bigger wider question so that's the real key problems in the coming days when i'm a little i'm a little firm says the damage it may going into the hundreds of billions of dollars but we're really just at the beginning of hurricane alex as they say stay dry on the gallic of the moment. super typhoon one cruise is gathering strength near the northern philippines winds gusting to three hundred twenty five kilometers an hour expected on friday night thousands of people on the largest island luzon were removed from their homes. as the latest from the old and young for.

the government says that preparations are well underway for the more than five million filipinos expected to be affected by this typhoon they come from agricultural communities their farmers and fishermen who basically work in their own farms all across the region the move on which is really the food basket of the country we've spoken to farmers who say they had to harvest whatever they could they went through a similar situation in two thousand and sixteen a less stronger typhoon and it took them years to recover residential to be more aware now they are more adaptable to the possibilities back so that they can see inside their wall informed. nervous we're very nervous because our house might get blown off again or lose everything that we have. we are one of the local community schools here that have been turned into one evacuation center for over

one hundred families they were evacuated just a few hours ago and they are taking temporary shelter here most of them come from low lying villages and from communities near coggan river we've spoken to some of them who say this there are still family members who decided to stay behind to look after their cattle and to look after their farmland basically they don't know how long they can be here but what they know at that they are so fine for now there is the electricity there's no running water there is no food but they don't know for how long. plenty more still ahead on the news hour including scuffles between protesters and israeli soldiers as the fate of a village remains uncertain. as a new report says countries around the world are failing their poorest people blaming some of south africa's fourteen million citizens living in extreme poverty

. and in small the world of boxing counting down to an eagerly awaited rematch polls here with that story. israeli army has closed roads leading to the village of qana lamarr in the occupied west bank earlier scuffles broke out between soldiers and palestinian residents and activists who were protesting near the site. israeli army bulldozers were scores of. blocking the roads with mounds of earth so far it is one to clear the village to make way for a series of illegal settlements. harry forces joins me now from so is the demolition work imminent at this point how does it look. well right now it's very quiet be israeli forces have withdrawn again the afternoon

prayers are just or have just taken place but it was a couple of hours before the midday prayers that all this activity took place israeli forces and a big earth mover came in and they started to put up barriers of. on some of the sort of small access roads around the site and also you can see behind me there's a large highway just outside the village the main entrance to the village is through a parking lot that just comes off that highway they've also erected. large swing gates metal screen gates sort of semi permanent barriers that can be opened and closed at will so it seems that the activity this morning was about the latest stage of preparations ahead of this demolition there were on early thursday morning there was another operation where they took away five temporary structures that have been put up in solidarity close to the village this is the latest phase so far

the village itself though remains untouched now what will happen to the inhabitants of this village are we know that these various offices of demolishing this village to build housing that's for jewish settlements in the inhabitants are not jewish so i'm assuming because they don't follow the jewish faith are not going to get a any hope of new housing in the area right. not here no i mean that is certainly the charge from the palestinian side that the israelis who say that they're demolishing this village because it was built in area c. which is under israeli military control without the proper permits and so on the person say the real reason for this is because the israelis want to expand illegal settlement construction in this very sensitive part of the occupied west bank which could according to the european parliament european union and other international opponents of this could make a two state solution all that more difficult because it could really affect the

territorial integrity of a future palestinian state as for the inhabitants themselves under the current israeli plan they would be moved to a satellite town just on the on the eastern fringes of occupied east jerusalem called abu dis there is a neighborhood there which they are supposed to be removed to but they say two things one is it's right next to a landfill site to it has got the kind of territory around it that they require it's a bedouin village the kind of territory that they require for grazing their animals and so on apart from that of course under international law the european parliament put put through a resolution last night among other things saying that such a forcible removal of people is against international humanitarian law so now the question really is now that the israeli court has has said there is no bar to the government doing this if it so wishes when will they move in well the israeli settlers the jewish sabbath starts in just a couple of hours' time that extends through till saturday night there are other very important jewish holidays coming up in the following week so if they want to

do it soon that there doesn't seem to be a huge amount of opportunity apart from potentially on sunday there are some here who feel that it might happen after next week's jewish holidays thanks so much force of their. a renewed appeal is being made for hundreds of millions of people who live on less than two dollars a day the overseas development institute that's a london based think tank is warning world leaders to change the way they distribute aid to the world's poorest countries the world bank defines extreme poverty as living on less than one dollar ninety cents per person and day eight hundred million people survive on that now the target is four hundred million by twenty thirty the think tank says extreme poverty will persist without increased investment in health education and social protection because for immediate changes in how international aid is distributed to the most fun rubble. fourteen million

south africans know all about extreme poverty it's predicted south africa will be one of sixty countries which will fail to meet the twenty thirty reduction targets for me the miller has more from johannesburg. the sprawling township of soweto is rich in contrast while there is a growing middle class in a vibrant economy many here live in poverty one of those people is rosy. she's unemployed and looks after four grandchildren with a government pension of one hundred dollars a month. it's too little money to feed for growing boy the money runs out before the month is over we struggle to survive she brings the children to this community center with they have what is often their only meal of the day government statistics show that poverty levels have increased since twenty eleven with fourteen million south africans now living in extreme poverty surviving on less than a dollar a day thirty million south africans live in poverty that's just over half the

population most of those affected are children while the government launched a national development plan to eradicate poverty by twenty thirty levels are still rising the poorest of the poor live on just thirty five dollars a month spending a third of that on food reported by the overseas development institute says that up to sixty countries are unlikely to eliminate extreme poverty by twenty thirty almost a third of south africans are unemployed often relying on the government social grants to survive but with low economic growth economists say this is not sustainable progress singular on direction and the moment of population growth is higher when are we could normally growth or population growth rate is more than one and a half percent. or economic growth rate as we all know they get there if we are in a recession and are sort of sol prefer. but the price is so for african people.

according to the o.d.i. the world is managed to more than half the number of people living in extreme poverty and still hundreds of millions like rosie continue to be a burden of hardship for me al-jazeera johannesburg france has unveiled a multi-billion dollar plan to tackle poverty the announcement by president demanding my cross aims to eliminate poverty within the decade or so ago it was more. in a village in southern france this grocery store is a lifeline for people who struggle financially run by a charity it offers produce and fresh vegetables at low prices the service means the shoppers can afford regular meals and i want as much as i think of the advantage of this sharpies that it stops me really hitting rock bottom when you're going through a rough patch to stop you falling too low when you don't have a clue. i live on seven hundred fifty dollars a month after the bills electricity water rent and insurance i have three hundred

dollars left on that's why i come here every tuesday. one in seven adults and a fifth the children of france lives below the poverty line that's less than thirteen hundred dollars a month activists say the situation is urgent it's why the french president has launched what he calls a new battle against the scandal of poverty so. this is not a charity because it's not a question of helping people to live a bit better it's all about pulling them out of poverty nine billion dollars will be invested over four years the focus will be on creating long term of a chain ities and jobs for people lifted them out of poverty through work and off welfare their focus on more child care and support the deprived school children and also training and apprenticeship schemes the young adults. over two years also about having enough money so that you can look after yourself feed yourself and have a roof over your head as far as this is concerned the president does not want to increase the minimum funding for survival michael says he wants to eliminate

poverty in france within a generation a goal aimed at ending meet and silencing critics who call him the president of the rich sunny day you go al-jazeera or marcus manual is the author of the report and senior research associate of the overseas development institute joins us now from london good to have you with us so why are so many countries falling behind the poverty eradication goals they've committed to this is as we said in the report the key thing is the way we support these countries as your report is shown you can tackle poverty in countries and people are trying to do it in south africa and they're trying to do it in france and we look at it globally we need to be doing the same things but we're not getting enough money to the countries that need it the most you mentioned that's a really good point because in your report which i read it said that middle income countries get about ten times more aid than lower income countries that's a bit surprising isn't it. no it is very surprising and i think it.

shows just what a crisis we're currently facing in the degree of shift that we need we need to do in order to make it countries like south africa to have the resources that they can mobilize themselves to eliminate extreme poverty bizarre report shows or something like thirty countries that can't even afford half the cost needed to do the very basic things we know are needed to do to eliminate poverty getting children into school making sure people have affordable health care and most of all what we've seen in these programs already is the need for some direct targeted support to the most vulnerable the elderly the children those who are unable to work do you think the number of people living in extreme poverty could actually be much higher i mean it's in this report it defines it as living on less than a dollar one u.s. dollar ninety cents a day you go to take into consideration the cost of living and access to health and

other services right that's right and so the that measure does make some allowance for that but it's also true that one dollar ninety is what what is called extreme poverty are you only just have enough to feed yourself and put a roof on your head we're talking very very basic just about survival levels of rates of poverty and that's the kind of poverty we don't get so much in france or in the u.k. but we gets near half the country in some african countries but it can be living at that kind of very very basic just about survival level and that's what we need to change the target is to eliminate it by use it to zero by twenty thirty that's what the world has agreed it should do in the deadline it set what we're saying is we're amazing off target by four hundred million people that's the extent that we're off target and put it all into perspective what does that mean being of the target that much what will that mean for the world that means.

no children and people trapped trapped in poverty is going to mean children whose brains brain development is impaired because they're not getting the food they need it means children old able to go to school it means people very severe risk of famine as soon as something goes slightly wrong with their farming or there's a problem with the with a drought that year it means a million staying in that we don't have to do that because we've seen where we have the programs that are funded we can lift enormous numbers of people out of poverty and ethiopia we discussed our port is a great example of what you can do when you commit to do things at scale toys good gail analysis on that thanks so much for coming in talk to us marcus has time for the weather and a check on the both well hurrican florence and typhoon one curtain rods here to bring us up to speed i was looking at you scene power already on the screen but the hurricane is going over land it's not entirely disappeared off the water have a look at this this is the radar picture and the circulation

a little tiny in the middle here is drifting vinnie we're slightly south but barely moving so go hurrican they're part of a warm water partly overland north carolina just east of wilmington that was worst forecast to go or not but the fact it's still circulating means that although the winds are still gusting one hundred fifty kilometers per hour that is a problem with i reckons it's the rain as always and storm surge we biggest so if we overlay the satellite picture rather than look at the radar the upcoming risks are to be see change change friends please. a storm surge that we've already watching this to form a desert on top of a tar the next high tide is in about five hours so you've got a height hard then at three four meters on top of that all the way down the coast that's inundating the rain potential possibly a meter of rain we've seen maybe two three hundred ninety minutes or so far there's an awful lot more to come in the persistence well the chances are once it goes

across the border and goes inland it will be probably a couple of days so it sits in south carolina go up towards kentucky didn't have time to talk about market but we will sammy. thanks so much well now still to come on i'll just era away all of a tell you will film but hopes to change the perception of japan's whaling practices we look at the impact argentina's financial crisis is having on the country's indigenous communities. and its for the los angeles dodgers age closer to a spot in the major league baseball playoffs. in an instant the shifting news cycle the listening post takes balls and questions the world's media exposing how the press operates and why certain stories take precedence while others are ignored the listening post on al-jazeera what really
