brunt of the typhoon spirit marine commanders say many people here lost their homes . property and with. the power lines. be. over. 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 it's back and everything happened so fast
4:08 pm
and now my business is gone but this junction 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 and do we but from past experience filipinos know it's never enough they barely had much space for the time feeling now they have even less. to malign in the going to al-jazeera look out of the province north to be honest we're here with the latest on where the storm is headed next and what people living in its path can expect is a zero meteorologist kevin corriveau kevin that's right we're looking at still a lot of problems in terms of what is going to happen to the west of the storm to the east hong kong is going to be getting a little bit better over time i want to show you and go back about twelve to twenty
4:09 pm
four hours in the storm making its way off from the philippines from luzon now the storm has passed to the just to the west of hong kong right now had made landfall several hours ago but we're still dealing with some very gusty winds with the storm even though it has just made landfall we are going to start to see the storm begin to weaken now that is over land but look at the size of the storm all the way from central parts of china all the way down into the middle part of the south china sea within that that is all rain and that is going to continue to make its way towards the west we're still dealing with storm surge on the western sydney on the eastern side of where that eye is but that is beginning to come down and for hong kong that is going to be coming down for you as well and has come down substantially from the mexico you have seen earlier right now winds are one fifty seven kilometers per hour we do expect that to come down quite quickly one hundred forty nine for gusts and it's moving to the northwest at thirty three that is quite a good clip out here towards the northwest over the next few days we're going to see that storm weakened to a tropical storm but still it is going to be the rain and it's going to be the
4:10 pm
flooding that we're going to be seeing across much of this area then over probably the next twenty four to forty eight hours it is going to drop down to a tropical depression but we're still going to sing the run i want to show you what we do expect to see in terms of the rain across the region we're going to pull this out all the way for the next forty eight hours and you can see here. across quandong province where the area of red is it's going to be well over two hundred millimeters of rain in that location and then as you go up here towards the northwest that could be anywhere between one hundred fifty and also probably a little over two hundred in that area we have to remember that this area is fairly saturated we've seen a lot of rain across much of this region over the last several weeks so in terms of having the flooding start it doesn't take that much to make the flooding in the flash flooding and that region happens so also we're also talking mudslides and landslides are going to be a big problem so we could be watching that over the next several days kevin many thanks on the other side of the world north carolina is bracing for even more destructive flooding a storm florence continues to dump every rain on the eastern u.s.

to feed my kids if not we go to bed hungry agnes's daughter is just one of the hundreds of thousands of children unicef says are suffering from severe malnutrition here five years of civil war has left seven million south sudanese relying on relief supplies tens of thousands have been killed since president salva kiir accused his then vice president riek machar of attempting a coup the worried economy makes daily meals and affordable to many including millions of children says the outbreak of war in haiti that we have never seen this number before in twenty eight dealing with limited two hundred seventy thousand children suffering from c.b.s. the before this is huge number and if we done this point quickly we will lose all these children but aid groups have complained repeatedly to the government about being blocked from reaching those in need by the worrying sides. the latest peace deal has been signed to end the fighting and pledges made to allow humanitarian
4:15 pm
access. witnesses that assigning say much needs to be done to ensure that happened safely with the signing up of revitalized agreement we should publicly acknowledge it is but one step on the road to peace but one which lays the foundation for all their followers. agnes hopes that the peace deal works so she doesn't lose her child to hunger a hope shared by many mothers whose children are starving he morgan are just their own. mother jock is the executive director of the sword institute an independent research organization focusing on south sudan he joins us now via skype from syracuse good to have you with us so more than half the population of south sudan relies on food aid for survival you were there two weeks ago what did you see. what we are seeing now is what has been experienced over the last five years of
4:16 pm
intense conflict and the multiplicity of warring parties making it very difficult for a large number of people to maintain the normal way of life whether they are a peasant farmers or cattle keepers and the result of this is that cities like cuba have now been receiving like number of children and women who are desperate for food and you see you see i saw all over the town of younger children begging on the street. clinic and hospitals full of kids who are not and cannot afford food and cannot afford medicine it is a diet a great important entire. population of children but also for all the other particularly women and pregnant women to be more explicit that we know that the country has suffered due to of the devastation conflict a report from save the children says that the hunger is being used as a weapon of war in countries of conflict is that the case you think in south sudan
4:17 pm
i don't think it is a case of a deliberate act of denying food to people but if it is. a consequence of but idea of conversion forces related to war whether it is put in for a process like that to date cannot be delivered to remote areas or a multiplicity of warring parties who also want to buy a piece of the piece of the piece of the humanitarian supplies to be used to feed their armies and so it's a combination of all this that has led to the provision of that a large number of people on food aid so with some seven million people dependent upon aid for their survival. what's going to change here a peace deal has has recently been signed is that going to make the situation any better. that is the hope of my most people in south sudan and others around the world that. all of these food shortages although historically one has
4:18 pm
experience but it all it always has a capacity to to regain its footing and solve these what has been the main reason why people are so desperate for food and so they were designing all these these are slim and on the twelfth of september there is a renewed hope in the air all across as are done and people are tired of war so this is this hope this is a new coach whose optimism. is definitely what a lot of started and these are. all the implemented to be able to get these people back to their normal way of life. where people have absolutely nothing it is a case of people not being able to exercise not a moral economic activity for survival and they will be able to go back to that as soon as the peace agreement is implemented good to see somebody actually just come

4:27 pm
first local election since twenty eleven state television showed voters casting their ballots in damascus and other government controlled parts of the country more than forty thousand candidates are said to be standing but most of them are from the ruling baath party. inclement weather there's a lot of it about as i'm sure you've noticed here with the latest on what florence is up to is meteorologist kevin corriveau again we have a pretty impressive statistic eighteen million gallons of water has come out of the system just since we have had landfall so because it has been such a slow moving storm that is why all this area's getting this raining raining raining and that's where they get this number by figuring out all of the rain totals across the region and we have more rain coming in we have about sixteen million people actually twenty three million people that has gone up from the last couple hours that are under flash flood watches or warnings still across this region even though it's a tropical depression right now it is still producing quite a bit of rain and all that rain is starting to start to go down these rivers back
4:28 pm
towards the ocean and we do expect to see a lot of river flooding in many of these locations let's take a look at the most current statistics that have come out with the storm winds are five kilometers per hour movement is to the west at thirteen columbus pro there so what we're going to be seeing is the storm moving very very slowly up here towards the northwest over the next few days then to the north and then very quickly it's going to shoot out here across parts of pennsylvania new york and then back to the atlantic but before that take a look at the amount of rain we're still going to be seeing about with this storm it's going to be centered right over that north carolina and south carolina area the areas that we have already seen quite a bit and then going up to the northeast and they have already seen quite a bit of rain this summer so for that region flooding is going to be quite easily for the next few days. kevin many thanks still to come on the news venezuela seeking sanctuary and neighboring countries put a strain on relations with neighbors. trying to save

4:32 pm
yes all of the. form the opinion that really this offensive is now at its most intense it started back in june there was a lull in the run up to the geneva attempts to get some dialogue going that failed and then we found the coalition the saudi u.s. led coalition really intent on trying to finish what they describe as the mission to take the data they see this is the only way they claim to bring the who thing is to the negotiating table but then that may be a military tactic rather than necessarily a humanitarian one has to be said we're hearing that the medical sources in the booth he quoted by a number of outlets are saying that thirty two who three fighters have been killed since saturday there have been numerous airstrikes thirty five in a couple of hours early on sunday and we've also got a report of
4:33 pm
a radio station coming under attack by an asteroid a radio tower and the report there said according to the who thing is is that poor people were killed three security guards and warm civilian member of staff the report from other sources on the other side military sources suggest that there were three killed now there is no evidence pointing up of civilian deaths on sunday or saturday in the data but elsewhere in yemen there have been civilian deaths and quite a few of them with their strikes and indeed other forms of attack. or there are also many many concerns rising now for the level of malnutrition right across the country that is getting to a critical state no doubt about that whatsoever adrian and this ratcheting up of
4:34 pm
this offensive happens just as much in griffis the u.n. envoy say yemen lands in the capital sana'a after the talks that the wind no way in geneva last week is that any telling. whether his mission to revive some sort of dialogue has any more chance now. well a hard question to answer because we've got a rating the through mix of diplomacy and politics humanitarian attempts to try and lessen the suffering all going on in one major poll that's rolling right now he's not been under so much pressure since he took this job with this is intent on trying to get the sides together he said more than a week ago in geneva when he couldn't succeed it doesn't matter it doesn't have to be in geneva or it can be on a phone line it can be in a hotel room it doesn't matter i've got to get these sides having some sort of dialogue now what might help him is
4:35 pm
a memorandum of understanding that's been signed by the u.n. meeting it would seem the who's the preconditions which were given before geneva didn't get off the ground now that precondition i'm referring to is the transportation all yemeni who sees injured or very seriously injured and very seriously in need of medical help being flown out of the country out of yemen to get medical aid initially at the demand was that they go to amman a mediator in this whole affair and then that now reportedly has been changed to the egyptian capital colorado and reportedly again it seems and we don't have a u.n. statement on this yet it seems that that deal could last up to six months the numbers involved whether their flights is of civilians is unclear but that seems to be seen as a concession false of a whole though the coalition is pushing harder and harder to take. this is really
4:36 pm
really a tactic that could be a demand possibly that the data has to be taken before the saudi u.n. a coalition is prepared to permit the government here the government in yemen to get involved in any talking that is only speculation right now but it could well be right. after many thanks anderson is there reporting live from djibouti south korea's president is preparing for the first summit with north korea's leader kim jong un since his singapore meeting with donald trump mungy and will be a company to pyongyang by the c.e.o.'s of the leading south korean companies moon is looking for close economic ties with north korea despite sanctions over its nuclear program let's go live now to solar cirrus robin bride is there rob the still occasion seems to have quite a heavy emphasis on business what else does its composition tell us about this mission. many of the two hundred delegates it is
4:37 pm
a big delegation adrian many of them connected to the world of business we have senior executives from the likes of honed in samsung going along but they are actually prevented from doing any real actual deals with north korea of course because of the sanctions but i do think it does reflect moon jay ins optimism about a future economic dealings on a re you know really unified korean peninsula at some point in the future about the economic prospects but we are seeing people from other walks of life civic and religious leaders on the delegation also people like labor rights activists people from the worlds of music and sports and sporting stars are going up as part of this delegation so it does seem as though moon j.n. wants to engage with his north korean hosts on a number of different levels about what a future reunified korean peninsula might start to look like and that but it does
4:38 pm
come at a time away with developing into korean relations when the relationship between north korea and the united states seems to have stalled and so the big hope is that this summit between these two leaders can kick start that process. it went on as long as they were the president has explained the goal of the upcoming summit the first is to improve and develop into korea relations secondly to mediate and catalyze the dialogue between north korea and the u.s. for denuclearization the third is to end military tension and threats of war between south and north korea. now the big issue of course is the whole question of do you clear eyes ation and just how committed north korea are to that process but as far as a south korean officials are concerned they seem convinced by the sincerity of north korea kim jong un they said even last week in negotiations with south korean
4:39 pm
officials seem to accept that he has to give up his nuclear arsenal during president trumps first term in office which would seem to suggest within a time span of two years and the south korean officials believe that he's sincere about that it does seem to be a big ask and given the extent of the development of their of their nuclear and missile programs but we have seen many twists and turns in this diplomatic dance that has taken place this year that nobody can rule out just what might happen in the coming few days and what this delegation might bring back from pyongyang. many thanks i was brought there live in seoul the plight of venezuelans seeking a better life elsewhere in latin america is putting a strain on relations a delegation from the organization of american states is traveling to the region to study the mass migration peru has received the largest number of venezuelan refugees mariana sanchez has been to meet a peruvian businessman who set up
