i would have a fantastic good education and i want to push forward on many of these front and he said as we move towards the deadline i'm encouraged by the progress that we're making he said that he thinks that the e.u. can finally see that britain has a clear vision of its future relationship with the u. and then he came to i think what the crux of his message was he says that m.p.'s might be tempted to hold us back he said to take the legs out from under the negotiating position of the u.k. he said i don't think they will of course parliament will sit again from to morrow and it is going to be one almighty slugfest in there he said i don't want you to vote i want you to vote against corbin's what he called pointless delay and he reiterated the point that he has always made which is that he wants britain to leave as per the result of the referendum on the 31st of october and he clarified that he things that at the summer with the summit with the e.u.

in october which parliament of course will be able to scrutinise he is absolutely convinced that they will get some sort of a deal worth talking about well outsprint let's bring in john's aunts and now who's joining us from politics hall john you are absolutely on the money there john johnson john joining us it was very much a message to the rebels in his own party wasn't it to toll the party line but he also had a little bit of it sounded like electioneering at the beginning didn't he was almost having an out of body experience as he started going on about the n.h.s. and police officers and and all the rest of it what did you make of it. yeah i mean felt very much like he was reading the same script from his 1st speech he gave when he became prime minister all of these ambitious plans that he has for the country and essentially blaming the tory m.p.'s in his own party saying that if they vote for this plan to delay breaks it further they're putting all of this jeopardy i

thought the statement was actually surprisingly weak i thought he was going to be a little bit stronger on the possibility that if they vote for this plan to extend the brakes a deadline he would be forced to call a general election instead he pretty much put it to them that if they vote for it they will be the cause of a general election something that the country doesn't want so an interesting line to take on it but i don't think it's going to have much impact with the tory rebels in their own party john johnson it was interesting in the background we saw in the live pictures there couldn't quite hear what protestors were shouting but to hear that kind of rabble rousing sound in the background is that what we're going to see over this coming week of kind of momentous movement potentially in their british politics. i think i could make out stop the coup which has been the kind of rally in call of anti bricks of protesters in the last few days since boris

johnson obviously made this decision to suspend parliament for an extended period of time sensitive reducing the opportunity for anti breaks and peace to force this new legislation through the house of commons and if we do end up in the situation where boris johnson is has to call a general election i think he he will struggle to get any kind of domestic message forward this would just be a straight up and down election again as the same as we saw in 2070 and john i won sir as the labor party and various rebel m.p.'s look at this statement do you think that their resolve is moved or changed on the basis of what they've heard boris johnson say. i don't think it will be we heard earlier from the former tory leadership candidate rory stewart he's one of these rebels and he urged his fellow tory m.p.'s to hold the line against this

plan from force jones and to threaten them with the general election i don't think this is significantly going to impact their thoughts on the proceedings coming ahead well i think we might see tomorrow or later today from number 10 is when you have a more detailed reading of the brics it rebels plan they've called for a 3 month general a 3 month delay to the brakes a process but crucially in this bill that they're tabling in parliament they have said that if boris johnson goes to the e.u. and asks for an extension of 3 months if they propose a different timeline he must accept now that's going to play right into downing streets hands saying essentially that passing this bell or him having to be bound by it which essentially hand over the keys to the negotiations to brussels. john johnson there joining us politics reporter from online useless politics home jump. hurricane dorian has been downgraded to

a category 4 storm but it's still causing widespread damage across the bahamas before heading to the united states the storm is one of the strongest atlantic weather systems on record well the prime minister of the bahamas has warned of unprecedented devastation the red cross says more than 13000 homes have been destroyed well weather experts are hoping the hurricane will avoid a direct hit on the u.s. but of course millions of americans are worried and making those last minute preparations well and gallagher is live for us in my andy the island nation of the bahamas is sitting right underneath a hurricane right now just how vulnerable is it is. i mean this is a terrible situation for the commonwealth of the bahamas the storm hurricane dorian one of the most powerful as you said on record pace at least door over grand bahama and the comparable people are taken to shelters but you heard what the red cross there was saying 13000 homes damaged we've seen some pretty disturbing videos on

social media of people clinging to their children stuck on grooves of these huge coastal scourges common so that storm is expected to last over the bahamas for the next 30 hours or so because it literally has come to a standstill now all the models are looking at what will happen after those 30 hours or so has passed around is the big question for the entire southeast coast of the united states and as far as the east coast of the united states sandy is concerned is are authorities basically just going to the maximum that they can asking people to evacuate regardless even though the hope is that this will of course steak slightly further arrives at sea. well i mean the hope is in the forecast is are in agreement on this is that the eye of the storm will stay off the east coast of florida and just go all the way up before turning off to the right and going out again but many parts of this state that still is not cone of uncertainty that they knew him talking about all the time so there is

a danger that any deviation in this path could result in landfall in florida but the likelihood is it will stay off the coast that there will still be hurricane force winds tropical force winds and of course those all important to watch how idle surges let's head to let's listen to rhonda saunders the governor of florida with his latest warning to residents not just here but all the way up the southeast coast 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 there to shoot evacuation orders and and it's important that residents heed those calls you know get out now while you have time or there's fuel available and you'll be safe on the roads. now this is not going to be as quick as this storm has as i said virtually stalled it's been downgraded to a category 4 but we're looking at a weather event here that could last well into the end of this week possibly next

weekend and again we go there live from miami and the conky well as sunday mentioned the storm is breaking all kinds of records sounds easy or is that meteorologist rob mccallum we have small. hello hurrican dorian made landfall as the biggest ever hurrican to the bahamas the pianist is toying with the strongest or could report if you ever to make landfall and it's now moving very slowly so that the ari is bigger than the r. and itself drum bahama over which it has sat for several hours is drifting at about one kilometer per hour as it 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 those slow willing crease now the forecast is of course subject to change but at the moment it looks like you don't veer out of the bahamas and then follow the coast of probably 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

a cask receive which means a major hurricane for what the next 2 or 3 days a fire aboard a scuba diving boat in the united states has killed several people and dozens of us a still missing most of the 34 passengers were sleeping below deck when the blaze started off the coast of southern california 5 people though have been rescued near santa cruz island. berta permit crews are fighting the fire while a vessel sank 20 yards off sure is 64 feet of water. 5 people were evacuated aboard a good samaritan pleasure craft known as the great escape. currently 34 people aboard the vessel are unaccounted for of our brand ellis' in los angeles with more on this well i guess the big question everybody's asking when they see these pictures is do we know more about how this happened. julie we do not have any information about how this fire broke out or what caused

it whether there was an explosion or some other. event that caused these flames to spread you saw the pictures there of the vessel called the conception which sailed out of santa barbara fully engulfed in flames that's when the coast guard arrived along with boats from the ventura county fire department what we know is this the boat was anchored off of santa cruz island about 20 meters off shore this is a group of islands called the channel islands and they are all together $48.00 min kilometers from the california mainland about 315. monday morning local time there was a mayday call a distress call to the coast guard when the coast guard deployed several ships and helicopters along with the ships from the local law enforcement and fire department

agencies in the area they found the vessel fully engulfed in flames 5 people all believed to be crew members escaped one of them had a minor injury but $34.00 people are unaccounted for now the coast guard spokesperson said that crews are searching the coastline of santa cruz island in hopes of finding any survivors who may have swam to shore but we're not sure if that has happened or not so we don't know exactly whether any survivors exist we do know according to local law enforcement that there have been a number of fatalities but we don't know the precise number this was a large vessel about. 4 a large vessel 22 meters in length that was quite kitted out. for diving excursions it had 2 decks one above where the crew was and one below with bunk

beds for the passengers. the quarters according to people have sailed on the boat busy before quite tight and cramped so that may have been an issue as well in the people trying to escape from the boat now the vessel according to the local law enforcement was fully in compliance with all the safety regulations there are supposed to be flotation devices or life vests available for everyone on board a ship by law there is no indication that there was any dereliction in that area but if the people were kept were stuck below decks asleep in the middle of the night things could have been very very bad for those people but we will continue to watch this and get more briefings hopefully from the coast guard and other authorities in california and we'll bring you the latest on that as time goes on

a little bit later. yet another massacre in yemen many people are killed in an attack on a detention center by the saudi led coalition calls for accountability are growing but who can hold the coalition to account this is inside story. a welcome to inside story today we're looking at the latest escalation of the war in yemen the saudi u.a.e.

coalition has bombed a detention center in the city of the market at least 100 people have been killed the red cross says that figure is expected to rise the coalition says it attacked what it calls legitimate hooty military targets and had taken measures to protect civilians the u.n. special envoy to yemen once the coalition to investigate and says accountability needs to prevail we're discussing the human cost of the war with our guests in a moment but 1st mohamed there are reports from denmark. residents and sakes pujols shocked the city on saturday night aid workers have been pulling the dead injured out of the rubble of the house he's blamed the saudi m.r. as he quotient fighting in yemen were targeting a previous university that was being used as a detention center for prisoners of war. dozens more have been brushed

to hospital. i swear to god i don't know what happened we were sleeping at midnight in there was about 3 or 4 airstrikes maybe 6 it was targeting the jail i really don't know how many times it got hit but it was targeting at the teachin seemed to and the city of demand we were $100.00 people on the ground level and around $150.00 at the apple evil and then the red cross came. see people under lock and key were trapped as the bombs fell rights activists are calling for an international investigations into the attack on the prison they say innocent people are killed in such operations carried out by the saudi with quality saudi arabia says it launched airstrikes on healthy military targets the quality of the site was storing drones and missiles something deny on a gun was that there were not going to this person the subject international red cross committee inspections every now and then and such accusations by riad

a baseless especially as it's called and it's a been shared with the red cross the red cross believes after 100 people were killed and it's helping to find survivors some rights activists accuse the whole cities of war crimes by keeping appointments in such presence there is a crime committed by these in painting of political activists and journalists. and political dissidents whom they used in places that they constantly have been advised by human rights and you know it's not to not to put them in a dangerous area it's also most of those people who have died today have basically haven't even seen in court the saudi led coalition continuous bombing of residential residential areas even if they consider that ok so no that specific place is they believe may be and may have some. form of the military

a military target these are residential areas this is why it was. such accusations has been denied by all of these of this side of the bombed prison . we have an official list of the prisoners held inside the prison that is being shared with the international committee for real. cross all of the prisoners have been tempted by the army units from battlefields. politian has been fighting in yemen since 2015 supporting the internationally recognized yemeni government against how these the war has killed tens of thousands and had a devastating impact on millions of yemenis with many on the brink of famine and without bob. the mark province of the conflict in yemen is now in its 5th year and it's resulted in tens of thousands of deaths the armed conflict and location is vent data project says more than $70000.00 people have been killed

since the war began human rights watch says almost $11000.00 were injured by the end of last year the conflict to threaten millions of lives 80 percent of the population requires some form of humanitarian assistance and more than 15000000 could soon face starvation. so let's bring in our panel now to talk more about this joining me here on set is has sena but adi professor of international relations at the university of jordan from london we have middle east and north africa care worker at reprieve and joining us from lancaster simon may be one senior lecturer in international studies at lancaster university good to have you with us gentlemen so has a let me start with you then the saudi backed coalition are saying and they've come under a lot of criticism for this attack of course that has killed civilians they said

that they took measures to protect civilians in the mob and that the assad complied with international law do you believe that what do you think happened here i don't really buy into this argument by the saudis because this is the 1st time that they do it and secondly i think they're actually carrying out their psychs without having enough intelligence and that is the function of now. having proper information intelligence about where people are actually placed. but here if you look at the number of casualties it's really hard us you talk about more than 100 people killed and even this number is and can be more in days to come i think the 11 more time we saw the don't have enough information they just bomb out of this profession because they just want to make us feel that you know they're still in the war in a given what is happening in them and what is happening with their own partners the united arab emirates i think this is an out of desperation is just you know a shot in the dark and the outcome as you see right now was people civilian people

are killed but what do you believe happened with this is joy. well i think there are definitely lots of lots of questions the 1st question would be did the red cross share the coordinates with the saudi that condition that they inform them in fact that there were prisoners in this in this facility. or not so that would be i think the 1st the 1st question the 2nd thing is i think as hasn't mentioned that this is not the 1st time that you know civilian structures would be would be hit you could say maybe it was a mistake the 1st on the 2nd or 3rd but there is a there is a pattern of if they would like to say that mistakes so a lot of questions of questions are asked now i don't want to example who sees the who he's have

a track record off putting their opponents including journalists and i know personally 2 journalists who were placed in a weapons storage facility in the mud of the irony and they were killed by an airstrike taken by the saudi to this how did it coalition so why did the who these even even know there are lots of questions now if the saudis know and they were sure the coordinates by the red cross maybe this could amount to a war crime giving the nature of the area this is a is a city it's a heavy heavily populated area and we have advise assad at coalition many many times and i would say it would say it's again try to avoid striking in populated populated areas the possibility of civilian casualties is just so high and it's not even worth the risk. simon rayburn i want to get your take on this and i want to ask you more broadly as well well what's happened here in denmark refocus

international attention a top on on the larger conflict in yemen quite possibly i mean we know that this is a misstating attack the humanitarian cost not only of this this attack but also of the conflict in yemen more broadly is it's devastating it's a horror and and it's the people of yemen who are paying a really tragic price for what is essentially a geo political struggle now it just depends on the on the agendas of other states in the international system may extent to which they can put pressure on saudi arabia on the united arab emirates on the u.n. for that matter and it just depends on their their agendas whether they have the political will to do this whether they have the aspirations to speak truth to the powerful allies the saudis and their moralities whether they want to hold them to account or not and if it's not then i would imagine that this will continue

business as normal until there is some way of holding saudi in the emirates and indeed the who these for that matter to account because what's happening here is incredibly complex all of the actors are committing heinous crimes and it's the people of yemen paying the price once again for for saudi saudi actions and morality actions and international communities negligent position with regard to yemen just to pick up on some of that with with has said then why why has the international community seemingly turned a blind eye to to what's happening in yemen after more than 5 years now who i think 1st of all the international system is a loser list right now will is ok we have the only superpower the united state is alang itself with the united arab emirates who are the saudis so it is part of the problem rather than being part of the salute. and for the united nations to work independently without the backing of the united states i think it's not going to be

effective and this has been actually happening in different areas of the world so we need like the big countries the great poles to be on board in this issue and until this moment i think many countries value the link with the saudis with the united arab emirates more than they value the link with humanitarian issues or cetera so they just talk to talk they need to walk their talk and we have to probably wait for such a thing to happen but i just want to add 11 point here that is very important without understanding the the broader context of the war in yemen there is no way that the international system would come and step in or the international community step in and do something or you know make a difference there is an iranian aspect of it is saudi. rivalry. with you seen as kind of a proxy for the iranians and this is how the reality is inside that many who to take great example to that the idea that they that they're being led by by iran he

added that is an alliance in international relations you know non-state actors and country they collaborate in order to make something so now we do you agree with them or not this is a different story but i want to i want to just you know i want to add one point that without solving the broader context the broader problem between the saudis and the united. without probably mitigating the tension between the arena in leadership and the american leadership i think the chances for doing something or for the international system to step in is really them. but what do you think needs to happen for for for the situation to change in yemen for some sort of. a breakthrough solution. well i think a couple of things need to need to you know need to take place the 1st thing is i think from the saudi led coalition specifically talking about saudi arabia in need

to assess what does it want in what does it want to see in in yemen now as a yemeni i understand why they have problems with the who sees the who sees foreign policy is hostile towards the the region i wouldn't trust them with my country's foreign policy and i don't think they're fit to fit to govern but even the the the the the internationally recognized authority when it tried to stop the u.a.e. back to session in in aden u.a.e. . a number of strikes according to the yemeni ministry of defense killed 300 military officers. and personnel it's from them from the from the yemeni military that's the military that is backed by saudi arabia so you can see how complicated the situation is and we are seeing extreme like unprecedented silence from the from the saudi leadership so it needs to come into its own sense into what does it want

to see in the scene yemen the other thing which might be an alternative is that they do things need to come into a form of a compromise and if they want to according to their own narrative remove the excuse from the saudi let question from for for for intervening they need to come into a reconcile with the yemeni with the yemeni forces in the yemeni political their their own opponents to say we can come as yemenis into into into into an agreement so therefore we don't see means a intervention from saudi arabia under any any form or or or context now we have a basis that the who are saying we agreed to the national dialogue outcomes they haven't. government are saying we agree to the national dialogue outcomes the political all the any political actors are saying that so we can start from somewhere we're not stuck starting from from scratch but the who thieves need to understand that they cannot take on cities and towns by force that the only way to

reach to power is through elections a referendum and then make the people choose who they want to who sees that they want how did they want what is the political party what is the nature of the state that the yemeni people the yemeni people want but there needs to be either a yemeni reconciliation and from another level the south especially saudi arabia because it is the biggest neighbor of yemen to come into its own senses what does it want to see in this country. someone made one is there is there a workable settlement to this where we're both sides could could save face. what i guess the question is who are the 2 sides that you imply in the question of both because if you look at what's happening in yemen you have this sense of parabolic forces that are operating there's the there's the the who thieves obviously there's the hiding government there's the southern separatists there's all of the sort of malleable tribal political economic interests that are moving

sort of current like across yemen each of whom have their own interests and then to yemen right now the domestic scene is trying to figure out a balance between these different groups over the very future of the state not just its political future but the territorial future of the state which adds a complex the to this internally as well as the geo political dimensions that have been touched on so it's really difficult when one of the actors actually wants to breakup of the country i mean you know yemen is relatively young in terms of a state dating back to the 1990 s. 1990 and and and that suggests that we have these these currents that this southern transitional council who want to go back to the pre 990 time of the north and south yemen so that makes it incredibly difficult to figure out any type of serious reconciliation unless there is a real sense of pressure on the s.t.c. from external actors who force them to go to the table within the confines of the

yemeni state as it currently yes but without that it's going to be really difficult to figure out a solution to this. hasn't been a you mentioned earlier how to us leadership could be crucial in all this and charlie in the in the trumpet ministration there is there is a lack of that right now if if that were to change what what could the u.s. do to apply pressure on the saudis and the cooties in yemen. the 1st thing they're the need to think of is like providing this how does with the with. and we know that the congress has something to say about this but then trump is trying overcoming it be congress well every now and then so i think this is problematic because it also sends a message to the leaders of the south where they can continue that they can continue bombing with impunity and because you know crown prince mohammed knows pretty well that he is his back is covered by donald trump so without doing

something here in this area i think there's nothing with that would limit. the man because you understand the formula of cost and benefit so until this moment is the saudis are not really paying big price i mean you know they're paying a lot of money they're not winning the war they're embarrassed because of this situation after 4 years and the list moment now they're defending the saudi land instead of actually calling the haughty and on top of that the war has generated another war that is a civil war within the southern part of yemen that the proxies or people loyal or alive the saudis fighting those who are on line themselves with the united arab emirates so the united states should make a difference you know take a stand here and they're doing this simply because trump is happy with what he's doing right now he's getting all the money from the saudis they are investing in

his economy the saudis are actually sending him the message that they need that they want to do something with the israelis and this makes it from really the happy you know these no sense of urgency on the part of the american to do to do anything but also you know the united states can do something with iran you know if they've reached a settlement with iran over the nuclear issue over the missiles or anything over the in syria itself or if they reach this settlement i think this with accu the ripple effect will will be seen in india meant until this moment i think you know it's like business as usual we're going to see more. all of crimes committed by this coalition the saudi emirate ecology in and with is doing the same because. there is no offering there is no plan for settlement so one more time i want to go back to my 2nd intervention here is that without working or figuring out the solution with the backers of the forces that are fighting in yemen we are not going

to see any difference in even months or years to come. to in london then does there need to be some effort to bring the iranians. into into this to to find some sort of settlement. i'm not sure to be honest because the even though obama administration literally neglected yemen when it was negotiating the nuclear deal back in 20142015 back then it was much it was really really much easier i'm not sure what the iranians would do if they come in to the table but also the thing is a lot of people just see it from a from a proxy narrative there is a yemeni dynamic that we cannot we cannot simply neglect these are just not you know moving because there are any ans are telling them to do so the people are

aligned and the what is known the yemeni government and i guess moving because the saudis are telling them what to do so there is a an actual yemeni yemeni conflict and that should be that should be should be should be addressed and one of the easy solutions which is not to make things deteriorate even further is we have right now what's the u.a.e. doing in the in the in the south of the famine just a simple push from the trump administration would stop the u.a.e. from you know supporting the secessionists wire by the way equally abusive very you know authoritarian and do not accept any form of political dissent similar similar to the fifty's so that actually creating another see similar type mentality but in the south of but in the south of a few many yemenis are the ones who are neglected forgotten in this whole in this

whole whole equation and i think again you need to put it back into a pro a process that would allow the yemenis to step in and take and take leadership and i've said this many many times and i say it now again in 2015 i told this at everything leadership if you think the national dialogue outcomes are not popular make. it serves both let the people choose if this is what they want for the for their country or not simon may be on how do you see this playing out then do you do you expect more of the same in yemen yeah i do as your other guests of have suggested without any any serious change in the pressure put on the various actors involved not only in domestic yemeni politics but also those regional powers that are trying to manipulate what is a essential in a civil war without that pressure then we will see the continuation of the status quo we'll see business as usual and we'll see millions of yemenis really struggling

to live their lives on the brink of starvation and risking death and devastation in their lives something has to happen it has to come from international powers to stop those regional actors from manipulating what is essentially a civil war in yemen that has taken on regional dimensions as various actors try and increase their influence and position across regional politics so it's a complex multifaceted conflict but there is something that can be done it just has to come from those at the top of the international system who can put pressure on the various states but that has to be done without will stay see the same thing continuing hasn't been ari if if the u.s. has no appetite to to to to put pressure on the saudis in all of this then then where else should we be looking for leadership i mean can can can can the russians do anything can can can the other. the other big powers like the u.k.

france do anything here and well you know they can probably help the parties talk to each other but at the same time the one who can make the difference is definitely the united states. short of their own intervention in this crisis i think as you said the same or said we're going to witness of the same thing like with us as usual but. i think where the international community can step in is in the humid tarion dimension and the fighting if it continues like this. like more yemenis would be actually one step away from the famine and starvation. and also or and then demand nutrition in yemen is dominant so this could be changed with the help of the international community but for this to happen you know this should this should be a way i mean it without even the like mind is the united states they had the cand of an agreement in the data in sweden so this could be activated the game and probably at least focus on the committee and dimension and leave the parties until

the conditions are there for a political settlement all right we'll have to leave it there thank you to all of our guests has somebody. and simon may be on thanks so much for being on inside story and thank you as always for watching around the gig see the program again any time by going to our website edges ila dot com and for more discussion you can go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter handle is at a.j. inside story for me has a seeker and a whole team here. i .

to strengthen the good you have to shore do good all the more with rick i'm still fight against corruption. needs heroes heroes like no who are about the refused a $15000000.00 brian the achievement of euros like him to showcase by the international ace award it shines a light on these heroes because the best way to fight a dark used to shine a light let's make the road to a better place nominate your anti corruption mirror now. last. 3 months of protests on an unprecedented scale have virtually paralyzed hong kong what began as opposition to an extradition law has escalated into

a broader pro-democracy anti-government movement. so how and why has this crisis developed and what the protesters want. in the 1st of 2 special reports people in power traces the dramatic evolution of hong kong summer of defiance on the jazeera . this is al-jazeera. all of them to whom i don't know this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60. the prime minister of the bahamas says hurricane dorian has caused unprecedented devastation in the eye the nation. out of their own festival in london with the latest from europe including. the election you

don't like the election let's get on with the people's agenda with the cries of protesters in the background a plea from the u.k. prime minister for lawmakers to back him in securing a break stick to your old. the u.n. says it's time for accountability as more than $100.00 are feared dead in a saudi led airstrike on a yemeni prison. a boat trip turned into a tragedy dozens are feared dead in a fire off the coast of california and in sport in some alarm striker romelu lukaku says football is going backwards in his efforts to combat racism. because of how spoken out after being racially abused by rival farms in italy and song by. a very warm welcome to the program good to have your company well we begin with one

of the most powerful atlantic storms in history hurricane dorian has triggered a widespread flooding across the bahamas it has battered the island nation on monday and has left thousands of people cut off without supplies the prime minister of the bahamas has warned of unprecedented devastation of the red cross says more than $13000.00 homes have been destroyed. the latest we've heard is that the hurricane is right now. and we expect heavily damage especially in the grand bahamas darko our red cross national society on ground has been preparing but obviously this is the heaviest hurricane to part of the bahamas and therefore we expect the humanitarian needs to be far beyond what preparations have made for before and what weather experts are hoping the hurricane will avoid a direct hit on the u.s. but millions of americans nonetheless are worries and making last minute preparations well let's talk live now to on the gallacher who is live for us in miami hi there andy so of course the island nation of the bahamas the northern part

is being battered by dorian right now what do we know about what's happening there . oh well we know that the storm the most powerful as you said in history to hit this region made landfall on sunday but it's just cruel laying across these chain of islands to the point what it's now stalled over grand bahama and the state the nation's capital many people have made it to shelters but i know listening to officials yesterday hundreds ignore those pleas to get to higher ground or remember these are a string of islands that are low lying some of the housing is so good there is poverty there there on codes building codes in this nation so i can imagine that this could over the next few hours turn into a human tragedy you heard the red cross there saying 13000 homes damage so far but the key thing to remember is hurricane dorian now downgraded to a category 4 is just hovering over grand bahama it's

a big really moving at school that presents this nation with huge challenges because rescue workers won't be able to get in for a good couple of days at least so i think as the storm passes we're going to see a pretty devastating picture for the most powerful storm to ever hit this part of the caribbean so andy my weights in thinking at looking at where doing is heading next that they're hoping and i stress hoping that it's going to skirt around the edge of the coolness and then hopefully head back out into the atlantic ocean. i mean that's the best case scenario if you will you've got the east coast of florida here the eye of the storm here in the prediction as it goes up and then up to the carolinas and goes back out to the atlantic again but most of our large parts of this state are still in that cone of uncertainty so there is still a chance that any deviation would bring landfall we're not going to know that for a few hours yet because of the nature of this storm and where it stalled but let's listen to wrong decisions as this latest warning he's the governor of florida.

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 have issued evacuation orders and and it's important that residents heed those calls you know get out now while you have time or there's fuel available and you'll be safe on the roads so an abundance of caution for what is a huge and powerful storm and this is not going to be a quick event delay this is something that's going to take days or takes the going into the end of next week maybe even the coming week and it's moving that slowly and still presents a very real danger for millions of people and again i go there live from miami andy thanks. well as you may have heard andy mention there the storm is breaking all kinds of records al-jazeera is meteorologist rob mccallum we has more hello hurrican daryn made landfall as the biggest ever hurrican to hit the bahamas to be honest he's toying with the strongest record report of you with ever to make

landfall it's now moving very slowly so that the ari is bigger than the r. and itself of grand bahama over which it has sat for several hours is drifting at about one kilometer per hour as it 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 those slow willing crease down the forecast is of course subject to change but at the moment it looks like it'll veer ard to the bahamas and then follow the coast of probably florida and then georgia maybe 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 a cask received reason major hurricane for what the next 2 or 3 days. explosion has rocked afghanistan's capital kabul we don't have too many details but this is what i can tell you shaking windows and doors in an area close to foreign embassies and government departments security sources are telling as

a guest house for 4 knows was attacked but it's not get know if anyone was injured we'll tell you more on that story as we get it the united nations special envoy for yemen says accountability needs to prevail after saudi led airstrikes on a detention center killed dozens of people red cross officials who visited the site say more than a 100 may have died if the officials have so far confirmed 65 mohammad is live for us from the hospital in dom where that attack happened there mohammad we're hearing those calls now for accountability from the u.n. on the part of the side of the coalition. yes now i'm inside the dome our hospital we can see the crescent has found today and dig deep inside the degrees and 37 dead bodies they have found them the fall dead bodies under the debris dead. they are now to spend them into the morgue of the mars

hospital we can see also the hospital now is fall this fall with the with the dead bodies some of them. on the ground as this barak has its has overpassed its capacity inside the model so there are over 50 days from previous times but they have received yesterday 50 did bodies now with the 37 now we have a route around 78 did bodies that have been officially confirmed but when we visit these sites of the present we found that there are more than 20 did bodies the red crescent people here or risk yours told me that the expect over 30 bodies to be dig out tomorrow so this is the 2nd day of the attack they have.

before about 57 as you can when this here it's really. a horrific incident to try and get prisoners or for. many people the spiritual you rights activists are calling for independent investigations into such attacks which continue without without any proper investigation is also the 3 host these head of the prisoners of war have called on the relatives of the the president of war to come to the hospital and to take their relatives to bury them something. also there people here are the mortgage calling on the international community is preferred over additions to provide them with enough marks in order to to receive the of those who will be fruit tomorrow mohammed there live from the hospital in del mar where that attack happened in yemen mohammed. u.k.

prime minister has made an impassioned plea to politicians on all sides to back his attempt to get a new bricks it deal to felicity by now with more from our european broadcast center felicity. thanks judy yes forrest johnston says parliamentary action planned for tuesday will chop the legs of the u.k.'s negotiators some opposition politicians along with rebels from his own policy opposing the u.k. off the e.u. for a 3 month delay to break says if a new deal can't be agrees by the october 31st deadline the prime minister says he will never do that beating speculation that a snap election is imminent lawrence leigh reports. parliament has been on holiday for 6 weeks but boris johnson and his aides have been working flat out to make good on that brics it will happen by november with or without any agreed plan with the european union to show our friends in brussels that we are united in our purpose

m.p.'s should vote with the government against. pointless delay. i would everybody to know there are no circumstances in which i ask rawson's to do a. but since he has a majority of just warned in parliament it doesn't take many rebels from his own conservative party to cause him huge problems and they are so concerned about the no deal bricks it's that they're ignoring threats to kick them out of the parliamentary party and it seems at least some will back a plan to order the government to delay breck's it yet again have decided that in the interests of my constituents or best represented by outlining the perils of no deal and continuing to do what i've done since 2016 which is urge the government to make a deal so that we leave the e.u. in the best possible way both for the u.k. and the e.u. if they succeed johnson has a number of options and they are all incendiary he could either choose to ignore

the will of parliament and push on with it anyway and face accusations of being dictatorial or more likely he could call a national election which would in effect become a 2nd referendum on brics it's the big fundamental calculation that someone boris johnson's come to making is that currently he has the opportunity to unite. supporters of brecht's it under one ticket and the bars ticket while there are main parties and there were democrats the labor party the green party the nationalist parties remain completely divided and that's the big fundamental calculation that someone boris johnson's making whether or not that will pay off remains the same all this means there is enormous pressure to on the main opposition leader jeremy corbin much less personally popular than johnson on monday the former labor prime minister tony blair notably failed to offer corbin his own backing in backing away from the idea of themself as a caretaker prime minister gerry called.
