made landfall on sunday has unprecedented devastation we've got reports that the airports there are virtually underwater but the big story at the moment from forecasts is a hurricane dorian has basically stalled over ground but i am of the eye of the storm which is an enormous and very well formed is just hovering barely moving they think that it will remain that way for the next 36 hours now there were some problems in the last few days of residents ignoring the pleats of officials to get to shelters in places like nassau and grand bahama the biggest island. but some of those people simply ignored those instructions to get to higher ground so you know you're dealing with a place here that doesn't have a hurricane proof housing it doesn't have to build but it would have communicated with a lot of these properties it's now being cut off but for the next 36 hours a commonwealth of the promise is going through we can even imagine you talking about going to comment an hour sustained winds they've dropped slightly from sunday
11:01 pm
but storm surge is probably 2 because all of it up to 6 meters and beyond so the next 36 hours for the commonwealth is going to be nightmarish to say the late because this is the most powerful storm to hit that country on record while the most powerful storm since records began and of course the big question is where does dorian go next and as to that question as to direction of travel and i guess if it was moving fast it would be better for say the state to authorities up and coast where you are right now because it was moving fast they would have a clear line literally where they could predict where it was going to make landfall if indeed it did make landfall. i mean that's really the key question here this is a storm that slowed down but intensified even as it can slow down to or almost stalled now what forecasters are generally agreeing on of the moment is that once it passes the bahamas it will take a shot. north i'm running power to the east coast of florida but any deviation it's

all in a hurricane dorian's project 3 will have devastating consequences and from its very formation this is been one of the most unpredictable storms we've seen in this region that cone of uncertainty that vital cone of uncertainty is covering large parts of southeast florida the storm is expected to get close to west palm beach probably choose day evening into wednesday but this is an event that isn't going to be over quickly the storm is moving very slowly even if it does take a turn to the right and head up towards florida georgia and the carolinas it will take days to go along that path but all eyes now on the vital right shot to that and many people in florida georgia around the carolinas hope that hurricane dorian makes andy thank you. still to come over for you here on al-jazeera the u.s. negotiate with the taliban she has details of the draft peace deal with the afghan president ashraf ghani hong kong students join antigovernment protests thousands

11:22 pm
al-jazeera. see. it's a contentious political issue in south africa at this time. after years of land reform most of the farmland still own by white farmers the government now considering a constitutional change that would allow it to expropriate land from white farmers without paying. a member yet to listen to them in town hall meetings such as this members of parliament have been giving south africans an opportunity to voice their opinions about the proposed legislation today on talk. we sit down with 2 farmers she may join us macaca a live on board shirts to get their personal views on this difficult subject.
11:23 pm
thank you for the times to come to talk to al-jazeera you're welcome you have had experience at the land bank in south africa specifically and decades ago you made the move to follow me why farming. has been in my plot and it's in the same. with the challenges of grading from us inside africa i've seen that it's time. for us black people to come into farming and i wanted to make a difference one of the easiest way to access farming i imagine was through what the government implemented in terms of its land reform program how did that work for you lend reform. in terms of the distribution sometimes in 2007 i approach the office of the department
11:24 pm
where i was looking for lent fortunate enough i have settled for land in the valley it is a good area because of the rain for compared to where i was before fortunately . this distribution program it's somehow helping us it's good but there are some flops so we need to this is a journey we need to go on and solve these problems and what does you agreement with the government what has it allowed how is it allowed for successes with regard to your farming yes our government gave us or gave me a lease of 50 year period and reaches a sufficient period for one to get up and get to be commercialized
11:25 pm
and if you lease the land you don't own it other challenges in terms of securing funding. you very very very right the lists are great men did limiting us as from us we needed to have title deeds pedal deeds will help us refresh approach in the banks to access fund. because the banks in need of purity and collateral therefore it's a disadvantage for farm us to have a 50 year lease program what have you done to try and overcome those challenges you need resources you need capital to run the farm to grow your business what have you done to overcome some of the challenges because of the lack of ownership i have approached banks i've approached the businesses fortunate enough through my at the background of my credit report i managed to
11:26 pm
secure loans but the most loans that have been securing our production loans because the banks and agribusiness they want to secure the fun in tens of a long term or a medium term loans by way of registering a bonet wonder farm therefore i have been going on with my production low now you are in a position where you've been fortunate enough to get the type of funding that you require but is this something that isn't as excess a bull for many black farmers in south africa are they challenges for for many other farmers yes they have many challenges as you know we've got different capacities record different experience and. even credit within this it's not all farmers that are kidding assistance from from
11:27 pm
a clip business therefore it's isn't it time for government to step in they have stepped in but it's not enough during our initial period of lease we there was an agreement that we need to produce a 5 year production plane. but unfortunately our government only assisted us on the fest trenches or the fest yeah therefore it makes life difficult for a farmer because he had planned for 5 years now that it's no funding or debts no money that could take him through his whole business plan is that one of the major concerns that while government has to some extent assisted with regard to access to land through land reform and redistribution is government lacking in terms of how it gives supports to farmers is there enough support. enough support so
11:28 pm
far. as as far as consent we need continuous support until it's established now you cannot take it from a half way or just introduce him into this wilderness and then leave him out we need support so given some of the challenges that you've experienced what then are your thoughts on what government is doing around moves to expropriate land from people in south africa without compensation it's causing a big thing and uncertainty on commission from us and this is also a threat to food security in our country because most of what we are consuming and food even export they come from commission from me and if the government it's not prepared to boost and help us as black from us as coming up coming from us then
11:29 pm
we cannot be helped at transform by a group of commissioner from us. currently white commissioner from us we should be able to feed our nation as africans as black people. the issue of expropriation without compensation is one in south africa that has become quite polarizing and one that's also been racialized do you see it in that way is this an issue around black people black farmers against white farmers is that the simplistic approach to is there more to it for you i support len expropriation but on specific issues or on specific lent we've got lent that can be expropriated in terms of housing in dens of industrious and infrastructure or not a blanket cover that every family will be. his family subject to
11:30 pm
expropriation so that fear must be diminished and that it too must be given to all farmers and commercial and coming from us that the government it's not a me at taking farms and clipping the farms so the from us need to be a short and if you assure them. assure that the government because it's a responsibility of government to feed the nation therefore we need to go back into the land and work and government must support us do every day concern around what white farmers are perhaps calling. a targeted approach to land reform that they stand to lose and this is also a round skills their contribution to the economy and that they feel victimized as
11:31 pm
as white people in south africa this is the time where white commissioner pharmacist must come on bot. they shouldn't be. like a species that descend bench but they must be part of the whole and reform and the mindset need to change this is our country we are living here all of us want we must pull together and then find a solution to the whole thing. leon boortz runs a farm that has been in his family's name since 1948 lend reform access to land and land ownership in south africa a things that the government that south africans is a trying to navigate through do you believe that lendl forms should take place in that the majority of commercial farming land is in the hands of
11:32 pm
a whites minority population differently that is affect we all know that what is also affected what farming communities aging repartee i think the average farmer today in south africa is just over 60 years with it 60 to 63 are there no so we need new entrants into this market we need interns obviously of black farmers we never disputed that and i think it's very important we also need new young white farmers part of paul so the main thing that i foresee in there's a major problem for ourselves in organize their culture is the way all the pro-choice that the government has that of a town we don't think it's been done very professional there's a lot lot of scope for improvement and really is only as agriculture would really like to help the government in this there's a lot of challenges and we can chat about it all day but i think the government has not made it such a priority in their plans and there's also been
11:33 pm
a lot of corruption that a lot of the money has disappeared that was supposed to get to the farm on the ground and that has never happened what is it about land exposed creation without compensation that has been promised what is it about that that you don't agree with i agree with it the only thing the way they've done it it creates policy uncertainty that is affected the value of land and i would say 90 percent 95 percent of farmers in south africa this land is bonded to. the banks who borrow money from it to fix us negatively because we've got a policy uncertainty banks on willing to borrow a form of land because obviously the risk is increased but so the form of the risk increases so and that is that a negative effect in the end of the day that a lot of farmers have stopped expanding if are now i'm going to be expropriated tomorrow i won't invest a 1000000 or 2000000 or 3000000 and millions pharma spend
11:34 pm
a lot of money had spent a lot of money in the past in investments and that is come down rapidly and severely so the investment into an even the figures from the department of statistics showing that farmers have stopped investing in the farms and when used actually stop expanding at the end of the day you actually moving backwards are you worried that your land will be exposed print that insists is that commercial farmers with the taking this action will not be expropriated. i don't believe a politician so i'm worried there's nobody's going to give mary that certainty because some politician can say that today next year with 2345 years they can do exactly the opposite that is uncertainty if i say we will not explode create without compensation that is bed because that effects the collateral value of lend
11:35 pm
or any form is lame. do you think that the government has perhaps miscalculated when approaching the issue of land reform do you think that the government hasn't looked at this adequately in terms of how it will impact the agriculture industry and vice versa they have me they've they've they filed in doing that in the end of the day. if you take we all on the country side and plot along as i call it we old opinion on a on the small town like moore will all or knows to modem only that is severely affected by the farming it's a farming town so the farmers and the farm workers don't get decent income so i don't spend that kind of money there but now we probably right in texas we don't get anything back for it we don't get the roads are not fixed the clinics are not done our people are betting to get decent medical attention which they did used
11:36 pm
in a few years ago so the governess furled in many respects. for that is concerned and i don't know what they're going to do to turn this around the end of the day because if you've got no water in a town you can barely tricity the city each is a problem when you go from there and so we need we've got challenges that we have to address urgently so you're saying the government's already failed in certain areas of service delivery and this possibly could be compounded by land exposed creation how do you think the government should be going about it land reform. i think they should involve the private sector and i'm talking about commercial farmers more in this in the chapter 6 plan of the the government's plan of for agriculture it's a very good plan we think it's a plan with me it was a commercial farmer will partner up with some black farmer we buy in other form
11:37 pm
he gets is interest subsidized by the government. many institutions that can borrow in the money if they lend being for instance can come on board subsidizes interest and so the commercial farmer can transfer knowledge to this new upcoming black farmer whether it's $1.00 point only one single farmer or it's a trust of black farmers or a co-op i personally think a co a portal is a good model that can work well in south africa but government needs to come to the party and create the platform with a business can function and with a business can prosper at the end of the day if the government in our business think that is government's purpose create the environment that is inducive for business the private sector will create the business if you don't govern concrete ideas they can create the platform for us to do business do you think there's
11:38 pm
perhaps a lack of not understanding or such naive or to around what access to land will mean for south africans across the board do you think government to spout this out while in the house or there's a lot of confusion. there's a lot of studies being done about to the people that gets expropriation all they apply for their land claim on a farm they don't want to farm they want the money now we can to bite that the whole day not everybody wants to become a train driver not everybody wants to become a lawyer not everybody wants to become. an industrialist or something like that we in south africa need jobs jobs jobs and that in the end of the day we need jobs we need schools help people create jobs that is our main thing in south africa if we don't start creating jobs so the government must induce commercial people with these black or white it's this is not a race thing it's induce business to create jobs to employ people train them train
11:39 pm
him yes please we need a lot of trained people but they're not coming through the system that is what we ask him for we've got we there's a lot of potential and our labors good they just need to be trained at the end of that i do believe that this issue of lentil foreman led explode creation without compensation specifically do you believe that it's been racialized. no i don't think it's been racial lost i think it's created expectations for people it's not not initially a race thing but it's becoming the political ball that the a.n.c. is playing and i don't think they've made very serious effort to really make this work you get the idea that they never had the intention for for the the the farming plans to work at the end of the day it's a political war were using and playing and when they never this election this becomes our topic again in the open the land claims they haven't even finished the
11:40 pm
previous land claims and we all know what this long it's going to take to finish i think it's 35 years they exist in the other when i open it for the next lot of people don't want to form they need the money they want the money and if they offered the option. roll over on the take the money people don't know where to fall trying the people help us get extension offices the white commercial farm is more than happy to help the government in this but create the platforms there's a lot of plans but politics involved everything and we never get anywhere we also just you mentioned the private sector the role it could play do you believe the farming community which by and large is a white community do you believe that the existing farming community with generations of knowledge has a role to play in terms of developing the agricultural sector and transferring skills differently and we willing i've got 3 black neighbors joining our fall and.
11:41 pm
the i can help them but they haven't got the skills they've got they haven't got the skills and i'm prepared to give them the skills but they haven't got the finances they don't get loans from the banks and that certain long topic that doesn't get loans for the banks he has to depreciate cattle this week now yes to plot for a loan it takes him 3456 months and there are no packages in place either by the financing companies or we have all the co-ops or whatever because they need collateral and nobody is going to bore you money if you haven't got collateral and that's when we say farms are being exploited created but it doesn't belong to the title deed does not get to the black man at the end of the day and that is i won't say it's only problem but that's one of the major problems that nobody will even think of financing you if you've not if you haven't got some form of security now we're talking of finances or. there's
11:42 pm
a lot of financing and egg bisan those people on the copra playing major roles in other words they could take over agreements and things like that but the end of the day somebody has to finance it and that is a. challenge of the in the neon given everything that you've mentioned and some of the uncertainty at the end of the day where does it leave you where do you think you'll see that she is with regard to land in south africa and farming that establishing thing for generations there is a lot of potential but let's get identify the correct people to get a fall it's make it easy to get access to capital let's subsidize is interest. in the in 48 fifties that sell land bank in the created good work they subsidise the people's interest rate soft loans over 4050 years that can be done today still that model still stands and i'm very optimistic if we only get the
11:43 pm
political will to make this thing work in the end of the day so a lot of scope the biggest issues is that around the actual ownership as you've said it doesn't appear to be clear through expropriation if the recipients of that would actually own the land essentially taking them back to square one because they then don't have the security around the land to access finance but also in terms of their futures that's the position that you're in now that once your lease expires you don't know what happens next it is true because we can even play in succession . we stay in wonder farms we don't know what is the future and you cannot i mean ages kitchen up with us all this from us most of the from us on state lands are aged from us they are more over 5560 years of age and who can now at
11:44 pm
this point in time at the age of 60 give you a loan of 20 is lot to pay therefore i believe in government developing and in-house model of funding this farms and reap good title does their off do you believe in any way there's a lack of understanding with regards to the importance of land for south africans for black south africans specifically who didn't have that access with have been great injustices do you think that is a lack of understanding around the importance of ownership without lent you know nobody. it is very very much important that people of farmers must have access to lent ownership of land it's important it gives us a sense of security and the true it isn't for let the country needs us
11:45 pm
if you can look back into the his through of commissioner farm what commish else from us they are now aging they need to be a crop of young men who must come and take over we are prepared as africans to take over the lent and well it never the less we expect in some assistance the skills that they've got the experience in the family to must be willing to let go and then empower us so that we can take it for what we do you see black farmers black landowners going in generations to come knowing the future is bright for us you can see yourself i'm one of those from us but unfortunately i cannot take this farm and make a legacy for my children that's where the issue of title deeds and ownership it's

11:50 pm
we've heard is that the hurricane is right now. and we expect heavily damage especially in grand mommas barco our red cross national society on ground has been preparing but obviously this is the heaviest hurricane to possible bahamas and therefore we expect the humanitarian needs to be far beyond what preparations have made for before and weather experts are hoping the hurricane will avoid a direct hit on the u.s. say that millions of americans nonetheless are worried and making last minute preparations the governors of florida georgia and south carolina have ordered mandatory evacuations of their coastlines. people need to remain vigilant if you're ordered to evacuate you need to do that from palm beach county all the way up to nassau the florida georgia border all those coastal counties they've issued evacuation orders and it's important that residents heed those calls get out now
11:51 pm
while you have time or there's fuel available and you'll be safe on the roads well as gallagher is live for us in miami hi there and see i think there are fewer people understand that the island nation of the bomb the hamas has some very vulnerable areas in it people not really living in some concrete house is that we might thing called so they're not exactly well prepared to withstand the strength of this hurricane which is refusing to budge. yeah i mean that's the big news at the moment hurricane dorian his base at least told of a grand bahama if you look at the satellite picture the eye of the storm perfectly formed is just sitting there not going anywhere meanwhile delivering winds of up to 300 kilometers an hour we're hearing about storm surges of at least 2 to 6 meters perhaps beyond that abaco the island where dorian made landfall on sunday you heard the prime minister there saying unprecedented damage to the island and as you said believe these are places where there is no building codes there were no hurricane
11:52 pm
proof windows nothing like that so the picture that will be revealed over the next 36 hours or so because that's how long the storm will be stalled over the bahamas could be one of absolute devastation a lot of people did get to shelters in places like nassau and grandmama where the storm is now but some people like nor the warnings prohibition those of the people whose lives are most at risk have already seen several videos on social media of people just asking the world to pray for them as they're still calling the roof top holding children and watching these storm surges come barreling in but the big question now is of course what's going to happen to the commonwealth of the bahamas but what will also happen to dorian. into tuesday as if all the models and are projecting that it will take a sharp right turn and go parallel to the coast of florida where we are now the problem is this is the one of the most unpredictable storms from its inception any nudge slightly to the west would mean potentially landfall in florida georgia or
11:53 pm
the carolinas all those states already as they can be in mandatory evacuation orders are in place all up and down the southeast coast so andy did this does that just mean that for authorities basically along that coastline in the usa they're all just going to have to prepare since it lol down to such a degree that they frankly just can't predict where it's going to go. i mean that's really the key that path is being watched so very closely by everyone in that cone of uncertainty that you hear me talk about all the time is encompassing large parts of the southeast part of florida and this is not an event that is going to be over quickly because the storm is stalled it's slowed down it may pick up some speed when it leaves the bahamas but we're looking at something that's going to last for days potentially into next week as it heads up hopefully towards the carolinas before forgot to say it should take a shot right and then to go back out into the atlantic that is the best case scenario at the moment but as i said this is a highly unpredictable powerful storm that some forecasters of called
11:54 pm
a textbook or a case others say this is simply a monster that he's threatening the lives of millions of people and agalloch of their lives from a very wet miami andy thank you well as andy mentioned the storm is breaking all kinds of record sound as there is meteorologist well that medically has more. hello hurrican doron made landfall as the biggest ever hurrican to the bahamas the pianist is trying with the strongest oracle report of you ever to make landfall and it's now moving very slowly so that the ari is bigger than the r. and itself of drowned bahama over which it has sat for several hours is drifting at about one kilometer brasseur remains a major hurricane doing major damage at the moment storm surge remains a major risk this is throughout the next few days in the movement though slow willing crease down the forecast is of course subject to change but at the moment it looks like it'll veer out of the bahamas and then follow the coast of probably
11:55 pm
florida and then georgia it may make landfall can't guarantee it won't but even if it doesn't the edge effects we felt or with the space coast it remains at least to catch greece which means a major hurricane for what the next 2 or 3 days speculation is going in the u.k. about a snap election possibly before bricks that prime minister boris johnson has called among sheds and cabinet meeting a parliamentary showdown is expected when m.p.'s reconvene up to their summer break and choose stay well lawrence he joins us from london for the latest developments hi there lawrence so it seems like finally breaks it could be coming to some sort of a climax at what's happening and what might it look like. well the good point julie is that the book boris johnson by threatening to suspend parliaments from next week has basically forced the hand of all those rebels the opposition parties and those m.p.'s on his own side who are dead set against
11:56 pm
a no till breakfast at the end of october parliament already voted down no deal bricks if 3 times earlier this year boris johnson has a majority of just warm and so by only allowing parliament to sit this week before trying to suspend its he's now forced these rebellious and these into suggesting that as soon as all of them comes back some or they'll table a motion an organ and force of votes to demand that the government doesn't leave at the end of october last the european union forum for yet another delay to the brics a process which clearly is exactly the opposite of what boris johnson says because he says that there's a democratic mandate for brics it by the end of october nuts that that's what is insisting on doing and so on the assumption that there's the numbers in parliaments and the rebels do win the votes either tuesday afternoon or wednesday morning they're the it follows automatically the boris johnson would be forced to say well ok if that's how things are then we're going to have a general election at some point in the next few weeks which is
11:57 pm
a different question and that in tunde would become a sort of de facto 2nd referendum on whether or not rex's should go ahead on his terms and so after all this time it does now look as if things are going to come to a head potentially the next 48 hours or so from now so nauruans we're looking at a situation where the options are i guess for him to ignore a volt or call an election that could call an election but for after the 31st of all it's always that possibility. well he could too but for those that there are grounds for suggesting he might actually want to do it before that of what one reading of it is that if parliament votes that he come to bret's on the 31st of october which is what he wants to do and that he has to ask for delay thankfully it would suit him much better not to have a delay but to call the election so at some point in the middle of october and then if he were to win the election which is perfectly possible then say ok now i
11:58 pm
absolutely have them and they were not going to seek any further extension that's all i'm going to actually going to leave at the end of october the other thing that plays against him slightly in people a warning about is if he did lose the vote. which said you got to have a delay and he just ignored it then people would say well that's it that's easy in breach of the law and is a constitutional crisis and all those things which were quite serious allegations that people would put against him and so i think on balance it looks more like it's some of the not that he would try for an election in october but the best thing that the conservative party even though it has a split inside it has in its favor is that the opposition parties are really very much at odds with with themselves and each other the labor party liberal democrats scottish and welsh nationalists all want a slightly different outcome some that won't rex's all some of the 2nd referendum the labor party says it wants a national election and then potentially some form of brics it's and if they can't come up with some joint organized position to fight the election with then there's
11:59 pm
every reason to think that conserves actually could still win that election and if that happens it really does clear the way for boris johnson to do bricks isn't exactly on his on his terms and see their line for the latest on that story from london lawrence thanks. plenty more ahead on the news hour including on the brink of a deal to end america's hmong this war we'll have the very latest from kabul. hong kong students joined anti government protests thousands boycott classes to support a general strike. and sport destroyers leaving batsman gets ready for his return to test cricket and is here with that story later. the united nations special envoy for yemen says quote accountability needs to prevail after saudi led airstrikes on the detention center killed dozens of people red cross officials who visited the site say more than a 100 people have died the officials have so far confirmed just 60 or so the
