more, they were warned to prepare. but how do you prepare the bis water pouring through this hope? and all the owner can do is helplessly watch a live feed on camera. hurricane ida has well and truly a right now, bringing 240 kilometer an hour winds. i'm chaos to louisiana. the storm is a life threatening storm. that big one hits the big, easy, 16 years to the day since katrina arrived in new orleans. kelly more than $1800.00 people on closing billions of dollars worth of damage. now a storm that hitler with even more power, to give an idea that is a picnic table between those poles, the water just pouring over the top of the skies. this flight taking us into the eye of the storm. it is called the fair. but what a difference on the ground hurricane idle path is taking around the west inside of new orleans, which means best safety is being hit by the when,

when the 8th inside of the storm. and that is not a place you want to be in the midst of a catholic, re full hurricane because those east and winds tend to be stronger. they said to be more powerful and cause much more devastation on the risks here. all huge, everything from dave re flying through the fence is coming loose and hitting people down power lines and that's before we even get onto the subject at the water. the flooding from the rain. i know storm searches which is what we saw with hurricane katrina. where 80 percent of this city ended up submerged, new orleans tell to evacuate again. this happened again at central areas. it was voluntary. governor edwards know friend is characterized as one of the strongest hurricane. strongest. read the history since 1850. and its devastation is likely to be a minute. we shouldn't get ourselves in lower lying areas. it was mandatory and still some state that would say half the neighborhood to say and then the other

half is evacuated. so it's, it's more just to kind of be here to help as the sole head north. it'll be hours before the extent of the devastation becomes clear. most hunkering down the but some refuse the hurricanes may cause damage and death. but in true style you will lanes refuses to give in. while we can speak to phil laval, he is live for us in new orleans and dramatic footage that annual package. what is the situation where you are now? situation right now is that we are in complete darkness. the power went off a couple of hours ago. this is the french quarter. so this is a place where they typically don't lose power. but we have, i mean this is for i was, there is a new life and the difference, some businesses, a lot of lucky enough, not that are generated, but they are few and far between. and the entire city is now involved. and what

more is told by the forest, he's here that this could last 4 weeks. the may not be any power for weeks. they're calling it a catholic, stroke big transmission failure. and they're all of them not on effects. this isn't just about not being able to charge your phone. this is about serious self. we know of an i c u unit, treating covered patient. but it's not without power. they are struggling to treat those patients because when you have them in the midst of a hurricane, you can't take them outside. these are people who need power. we know that in some areas the 911 lives or down. nobody can call them because they rely on power. and of course some of those people who are trapped in the high temperature in the last hour or so has really plummeted hair. it's been hot and humid all day, as is often the case here in louisiana. now because of the rain, it is pretty cold, so people will not even be able to heat the homes. and they have water pouring in. the hurricane has now been downgraded, it's now category 3. so i mean,

you could say that is good news if you could call it up because it was, has to be full bordering on has to be 5 before books i was rains are still coming so heavily. i mean, it is the writing, it non stop for a palace on it is heavy, right? this road ahead is like an absolute river. it is coming down and she, it is pouring into bass. this is why i say this is a french quarter. we're here on higher ground. there are those people who and the areas where the defense is not going to be helping who are going to be having was pouring into the homes. one estimate said earlier today that we were expecting $2.00 to $3.00 nieces of water in some areas. not to put that into context. if you have 1.2 leases for in your home, but is a very 5. your higher, your ground floor will be ruined. to point 7 to 3 meters means and then the floor

is completely submerged. in those cases, you have to move to higher ground. you have to move to another floor. if you are not lucky enough to have another floor, if you live in a single story home, as many people do here, then the only option is to go to the roof. so we are expecting people in the dock to be sitting on the roof because they have no other option. they have to save their lives by clarissa higher ground and we've been told by the authorities. but you're essentially on your own really 70 hours. you should have enough food, you have enough water, you have enough backup, power supply. look have yourself the 3 days because as i said, this is across bands highest fitted out. this could go on for quite some time. money thanks to the phil laval in. newly describing a very, very challenging situation for the people living in louisiana and the surrounding areas. while meanwhile, hurricane nora husband downgraded to a tropical storm as it moves its way of mexico's pacific coast. torrential rains

of afghans who are staying temporarily in currently, hotels, around the u. k. there's been a huge effort by small charities and large organizations like the red cross to make sure that you're right have the basics. this is just one of several locations where newly arrived, afghans are being held in quarantine beyond their immediate needs. many of them will be wondering just what their new life in britain is going to look like. i'm adela eubie is one of them. he's a former african special forces soldier and fled with his wife and 2 young children . he says he hopes his family can contribute to society. here you start from the 0 it's like you need to start it from the beginning. like the career i had it back in my country. i don't have it but there are many hopes i've been women list chance and i've got it. yeah.

there are questions about where the money's a keep ask, honest on running will come from for use. the international community has held many of the past strengths i've gotten on is heavily dependent on foreign aid. 75 percent of public money comes from grants. us, according to the world bank, international donors committed $12000000000.00 in foreign aid through to 2025. that was conditional on negotiations being held in doha. after the taliban take over the us for as nearly $10000000000.00 in assets belonging to the afghan central bank and stopped sending much needed dollars. but the taliban has a financial empire of its own. the group says a wants to bond the opium trade, but it's made large sums of money by taxing is production, or mazda killed while is off guns, guns, stones, form of finance minister. he says, investment is tied to stability. yeah, going economy in the government budget was that happy to defend enough for an

age into anti bought the foreign gate and be able to deliver would be would be next to impossible. will hall that the taliban understand the magnitude of the difficulty and understand that the international assistance is needed and that certain needs tied to political mach here. and that political settlement on the basis of which the next one becomes a matter of elegant. see, they also depend on, on stability and peace and stability in this country is also tied to a political settlement in inclusive government. that doesn't scare the investor petition investor simply as not just about today

how com or on come to the country in. but how stable the government did in order for this type of long term investment to be attracted off on the millions of children have lost their parents during more than 4 decades of conflict in afghanistan. many of them live in orphanages, but their face, some of the facilities could now be shocked. down. charles stratford has been finding out why these children and most of their parents were born into conflict in war. many of their fathers and mothers were killed by nato air strikes or in attacks by the taliban. and many of them will be scarred for life. just the right a thorough see where to go every year during eat celebrations. we especially feel the emptiness because he is not here. and when we hear a child call its father, it's very painful. for sued and rose, one's father was

a policeman. he was shot dead by the taliban as a checkpoint in eastern afghanistan, 6 years ago. resolved describes how they felt since the taliban took control of his town earlier this month. did that. he will when we see them around, it brings us pain and sadness, but we can't do anything about it. so we have left, a punishment to god sitting next to the brothers is was sillier of body. his dad and 2 of his uncles were killed in a nato as strike 11 years ago. his mother could not cope alone in bringing up his brother and 3 sisters chosen the hydrogen. so without a father, we didn't have a home to live amos. but here we have a home, i am said, but i don't been a grudge in my heart. in the evenings when it's cool, the boys play crickets on a dusty playing field at the orphanage. 2 sides in team sport. but every one here

has similar stories on that piece and a better future. i've got to stand has suffered more than 40 years of conflicts and was in the country now. it's starting a new chapter, but it's difficult to be optimistic about the immediate future at least. but children like these 56 children are living at the orphanage when it's funded by local donations. about half a girls. not all of them last parents in the war. she's here and maria's father recently died of a heart attack. hello. i want to be a teacher says you want to teach english, push to math, filled them for a little cottage in our fears as taliban won't let us work because of the girls that are here. but the girls and boys are separated from each other. girls are taught by female teachers only. we are afraid that if we change the law, our girls section will be shut down. it's all gone, says who is over and it is promised to respect women's rights with his own vision

of islam. these children and millions like them awaiting to see where the promises of peace and prosperity are not just empty words shall strap it al jazeera, they subs of cornerstone who the rebels have attacked. yelman's largest airbase in the south with drones and missiles is 30 soldiers were killed at another military base in large provence. the base is used by yeah, many government forces backed by saudi arabia in the u. s. e. dozens of people were injured and some are being taken to hospitals in 8 and out of an explosion happened at the military base. the 1st 2 michelle's hit, the barracks and there were more than 50 people inside. after 20 minutes, a 3rd missile hit the base. and then around 20 more minutes later, drones came, but we were able to put one down. many people were killed and injured israel's

a present for gabrielle from his girlfriend, erica. they've come all the way from france. they felt that it was a nice idea for his where they already know ladia and different it was a surprise into today. so i'm here for the state authorities say the number of visitors to see the pipeline doubled in the 6 years before the pandemic level. and that's a cause for celebration. but also worry for scientists like carlos called darrell fil, as almost have it in a moment or element that critical. this is we're going to see them in a critical moment in their lives. and we disturbed that we disturbed the relationship between them and therefore their reproduction and torchlight phones spoke. distract them sound too if to or straight from the path. they can also trample the females who can't fly on. the concern is that if tourism operators here don't take care, they might lose what attracts their clients in the 1st place. we had an up to see

the fall flies right now, right? you were quite smooth to group. and each tour operator has a number of people that they're allowed to take up to see the 5 flies each night. we're being told is that the problem can be, is that to operate, to sometimes exceed that number, or people that haven't got a license to just take people up anyway and plan to sign tools. it's a problem in a region with a law of economic necessity. no need to months a year to make money from the luminous b 2. but many are aware. am regulating themselves in quanta lucas in columbus like i like in a lot of the education we give to people as about what not to bring repellant white clothing to be silent for a waiver. your miguel is just begun, oakley, go, i'm paying recycling, local materials to reduce the environmental impact with mass song. they are listening to these platforms or from an industrial part of tuscola. there is wood
