in the philippines at least twenty five people have been killed by this year's most powerful typhoon. and we can slightly after it made landfall in the largest on of luzon on saturday has left a trail of destruction in the northern province of. we are now we are one of the many counties in north of province that have been affected by this by who and i'm just going to show you behind me are farmland that have now been submerged in water hundreds of civilians have been evacuated and those who remain in evacuation centers come from these communities and they have yet to see the devastation firsthand even go there are no casualties there is that impact them quite devastatingly that is because it is expected that them back for many years a similar type would hit them

a few years ago and they have barely recovered yesterday once we were allowed to head out we ventured out and headed straight to a similar hit area here where the government says aid and assistance are well on their way one of the many counter visited is the town of. arrived just as predicted this is what it's for spending over most of north. the early hours so power and so lines cut off into the ghetto city into the province insistence rains and strong winds crippled many of the operations planned mergence a tease. but the destruction here is nothing compared to what we saw when we ventured out of the city. through out to rural communities we saw homes and farmland destroyed access into these remote areas is difficult which means eight may be slow to arrive to. like so many places here the town of

bugout bore the brunt of the typhoon spirit marine commanders say many people here lost their homes significant. property and with crops includes the power lines so we expect that the high point can be over soon people here tell us they were aware of the forced evacuation order by the government but following it is easier said than done that is because often their homes and their livelihoods are just in one place and this is all what they've got these are their lives possessions they went through something similar already two years ago a super typhoon hit their community and they've barely recovered julio salah says her small cafeteria was your only means to support your family now it's gone. it really hurts us we don't know where to begin and everything happened so fast and

now my business is gone the destruction is similar all across luzon the largest island in the philippines the majority of typhoon victims are from small farming communities the impact has yet to be fully assessed and the cost counted. the philippine government says efforts to help are well under way but from past experience filipinos know it's never enough they barely had much before the thai food and now they have even less. cut. of the profits nor did pretty. well from the philippines typhoon monkey has now made its way to hong kong where the territory has issued its highest stormily that these are live pictures from there now people from low lying areas have been evacuated and four courses are predicting up to one hundred millimeters of rain for sunday hong kong's biggest airline pacific as one travels to expect up to four

hundred cancellations over the next three days will sort of joins us live now from hong kong so this is still a very powerful typhoon tell us what you're seeing on the ground there as the weather was. look where we are right down the harbor of the foreshore and then the shoreline is getting an absolute basic i would say massive wives some predictions of up to fourteen majors in some areas offshore just to maintain things now between ten and fifteen the most powerful sink on the right on edge expected to sign price for a few hours but got to ensure right i would be what's called red right which is being issued by the company seventeen right now i would got some low level flooding in some parts of the territories with the ports of electricity and power down i was in some reports of a building scaffolding i would just shake some scaffolding in massive high rise which is being blown down just the intensity and severity of the screen so

certainly some people say it's one of most powerful storms of among all the same cause so that be a lot of damage no doubt i've been expedited simply not the word smithing the worst of it is about to begin to stop today the tea table stime pipes for those of you out here a little pretty dramatic behind you sara how prepared is. hong kong for a storm like this and what's the government been telling people that. it's fine to taipei is one of the most powerful sometimes serious one last year around this time but this. is a bomb according to the mosque is to take the city brightest minds might shut down its businesses it's public transport and pay for the site but even with the safe haven. you just respect the damage think think this is there are still. find out what damage that has been the next few hours see what sort of talk there

in hong kong sara thank you. to yemen now if you rebels say the united nations has agreed to help get injured people out of the war torn country they say a memorandum of understanding was signed up talks with u.n. officials in amman but the saudi led coalition fighting the who things in yemen has not commented on the agreement last week talks meant to take place between the yemeni government and who the rebels in geneva collapsed before they began under simmons has been monitoring the conflict from across the red sea in djibouti. this announcement comes from the who theory rebels and it could amount to a potential breakthrough following on from the failure to get the delegation from the who to is to geneva more than a week ago they've been in the a money capital muscat meeting un officials including martin griffiths the un special envoy now what they're saying and they've published a picture of least ground day signing a document which they who things say amounts to

a memorandum of understanding they say the hoot is that they have gotten agreement to transport a number of injured people to amman over a period of six months for treatment for serious injuries on the battlefield will yemeni political analyst abraham qatar be a skeptical of the agreement. i don't think any any thing would happen between these and the un the un would have made an announcement and the coalition and the yemeni government will know about that i feel this is more we have seen time and again that with these fry brocade information and give misleading information that they reach an agreement we don't know what kind of agreement they reached they haven't really clearly said anything about it i think that's a game trying to push back on trying to make the international community pressure the saudis and the united arab emirates from taking over the seaport which is the main seaport that supplies the whole thing is themself and i feel like i have the

saudi led coalition that supply line the houses all the struggle is where they control because that's their main access to you know the water that's lame and access to goods and supplies that's their main access to the humanitarian aid that comes through that support and so they will be completely and in a blockade by the saudi led coalition members of an organization once bombed in ethiopia have been given a hero's welcome on their return home almost liberation front leader. and fifteen hundred fighters returned to other suburb after twenty six years in exile it's part of the government's new peace moves mama deval has more. in the capital addis ababa on saturday supporters of the oromo liberation front when completed. after years in exile in neighboring. around fifteen hundred fighters accompanied him among the welcoming party the general secretary because despite his condition

deadlock since the last election iraq's parliament may be growing into gear m.p.'s have finally elected a new speaker of the house he's mohammed a sunni muslim with strong support from the parliament's pro around the shia coalition and. we need to unify our efforts some members of parliament can reach political consensus and choose our government capable of facing the serious security and economic challenges ahead other posts are expected to be filled soon including the president who will be kurdish according to political tradition he will ask the leader of the biggest parliamentary bloc to be prime minister and to form a cabinet there are three main blocs to choose from the pro iran shia coalition headed by former prime minister nouri al maliki and merely who is head of the fetter bloc the umbrella body for shia armed fighters the pro-u.s. bloc of prime minister. and the iraqi nationalist bloc led by the influential shia

cleric knocked out our solder he won a majority in the may elections but the result wasn't accepted by the rest of the parties there are two countries who are going to be very interested in what happens in iraq it's called iran and the united states it's well known that iran has a lot of influence in iraq's politics and in its daily life but in recent days. it's been a backlash against the level of that influence the u.s. has supported by mr hyde at all about it because he is in his turn pro united states but also because the u.s. sees him as a moderate the can pull together a fractious iraqi government. if however high that all about it loses his power within the iraqi government it may come that the u.s. two loses its influence in iraq. and the government riots recently in basra were directed at politicians including prime minister buddy protesters in the oil rich south blamed political corruption and negligence for failing to provide jobs

as well as the collapse of the water and electricity supply lines. the offices of local shia armed groups backed by iran was set on fire. iran has been pushing for a consensus to choose the speaker and his two deputies that would guarantee its interests in iraq and the u.s. wants an independent iraqi government and a stable political process away from iran's influence there is an apparent conflict of interests between iran and the u.s. over iraq's political future iraq's political problems are far from over but the appointment of a house speaker is a step towards a solution rob matheson al jazeera baghdad the two sons of former egyptian president hosni mubarak have been detained on corruption charges. have been out on bail for the last three years but are now back in prison they're accused of embezzling more than one hundred million dollars from stock market manipulation and

that have been problems. but they used what he had even when they have betty some months ago a medical report from the us be that because they need the me so we move on and in the tent city beside the official camp the aid group movement on the ground has built terracing and drainage and provided wife and elektra city but new arrivals are spilling beyond this into the olive groves surgeries can provide them with only a top pull and the rope about twenty thousand asylum applicants have arrived on greek shows this year all of them forced to remain on stage in islands while their applications are processed at the moment new arrivals are looking at waiting periods of fourteen months before their first interview. because like others here this afghan family has stripped all of trees to cook forced to forage refugees create problems for local farmers one of them shows me his carpentry workshop

in bosnia say they've been beaten strip searched and robbed by the creation police seventeen people interviewed by zero zero zero said the abuse took place during attempts to pass into croatia bosnia has emerged as a new route to western europe since the e.u. tightened its borders courageous interior minister denies allegations of police brutality now of all the countries hit by the two thousand and eight financial crisis germany has managed its economy better than most but critics accuse it of being too strong pushing policies that wrecked other european economies lawrence lead the polls. in the corridors of power in berlin there are reasons to be cheerful ten years ago the german economy was so well insulated that the big crash was never going to cause a crisis so much has changed in other european countries but not here in the first six months of this year alone the german economy around a budget surplus of over fifty billion dollars that's almost three percent of

germany's gross domestic product or annual wealth it's the kind of figure that makes other countries either extremely jealous or absolutely furious it was the german government that demanded after the bank started to fall that the european commission impose new rules on countries like greece forcing them to adopt a hugely destructive tax raising powers in return for bailouts and loans a decade on stagnant economy is in huge unemployment levels of what's left the proceeds went to the banks not the people many economists hold germany directly responsible for bankrupting greece it is very anti democratic approach that is something that gives assurance to general politicians that there are rules and that they can be here too and that things will work out but and i think that kind of comfort is illusion it is defense germany would argue that if other countries have behaved in the right way in the first place then the wouldn't have been a problem most of the political class here bears few regrets about driving policies

which proved so controversial no absolutely not i think that was the only way the fact that we are successful in all these countries shows that this was the right way and it's like in the it's like in the private sphere. if you don't half debt you are a free man and if you have have debt you have to listen to the persons who gave you the money. the one area which germany has suffered from. in recent years has been the rise of far right populism born partly from economics in poor areas but also from anger towards chancellor merkel's generous asylum policies for refugees this week though the german government announced it was devoting billions of euros to tackle long term unemployment a certain way of diffusing anger germany is able to make these choices in ways
