to cope with the devastation of russia. the had a welcome. it's 7, g m, t, and this is the scene, live in hong kong, as braces for what could be the west storm in 5 years. typo in charlotte is currently barreling to as china is southern coast, tens of millions of people across the region of hunker down as winds of 220 kilometers per hour. sweep 2 adds hong kong charlotte is weakening, but it remains the equivalent of a category full hurricane. the financial hub has grounded flights shut down. it's still small kids and even close schools. it's issued what is called a t h signal, which is the city's the highest type food warning level on ton. his main line authorities issued the highest types of warning for the storm and sions in which

borders hong kong is also suspended work and public transport. judging its citizens to stay at home and speak to tom grundy, who is the editor in chief of hong kong, free press. he's live in hong kong for us. so well, i can see the situation behind you. tom is pretty when the starting now it's really feel the effects of a storm. the believe it or not, they can be on the phone. so let me find the island, the hall, my head off and out for me to be the. i'm always going to rush me then for xico on making sure that they stay overnight. and 2nd thing i thought of something said home bring down a render rooftop. here on the island dispute on something, come off and shelves being afraid of some leaving thoughts on the box or we find government advice this morning. only the names of the ladies say that t i you said. busy you might have some, uh, not searching me some on the 15th of this month by rail ferry refund. get in and

out of the file into the moment. several phone bills, both business days. a few. when i phone my phone can only stay in the name of rick . good. holmes. tom. generally. we started the phone and from what was, i'm fight the yes. to the last name spelled so sensible public. and the accused home created slugs. don't find them or not. i'm funding, i wanted to create populations and see things on or, and do a time. many interesting contingent upon the look at my phone and phone assignments if i can, saturday, but then again, this is nonsense. possibly forget tea time sole. and i'm very right into the fast and 5 you haven't gone and functioning. very fair, right? yeah, i think you touched on it. i mean, hong kong is no stranger to this thoughts of extreme weather. so people all day taking it in the stride on. but now, yes,

i'm explaining 6 o'clock and i think 9 o'clock this evening, that might be a 9 or 2 times. they know we sold out movies. funny thing with quite the money, but i looked at page on the current time call. i also $1000000000.00 a us dollars worth of damage to 100 people engine, especially on somebody's experience. it's not work or not that we have in store has not restricted breed um don't read yesterday. we had 20, don't want to call them basically on some life. but today on the coast facing and preparing for what he called potential worst case scenario. and try call me again in a 19, sol, shane. we've only thing about 16, maybe find the phone. let me get on the phone. okay. tom grande's, thank you for that. edison cheese of the hong kong, free press, that 1st live in what looked like a very windy hong kong, a spring in all weather present to jeff harrington suggest the last time hong kong . so a storm like this was in 2018. i've been a what are we expecting?

so here's the thing building this storm has we can just slightly so at this point it has actually lost its super typo instead of it. so want to get to the maps and show you exactly where the storm is turning up in the south china sea, just to the east of hong kong. let's go in here for a closer look. now, the dark of the blue and the yellow. that is a more intense rain, so you saw those live pictures in hong kong. that is nothing yet what the city is about to experience as the storm does begin to turn closer to hong kong. so here it is right now by the numbers sustained, wins around the eye of the storm. look at that 220 kilometers per hour. so that puts it at a cat for an equivalent to a category for hurricane. at one point, this storm was closing in teetering on a category 5 hurricane status. now look at this waves around the i have the storm 14 meters. so for a bit of perspective, i'm about 1.8 meters. so that would be about 7 or eat as neat stacked on tops. so

with that in mind, this will have a big impact on transport. number of boats have already docked because of how bad this storm will be. and then storm surge in the harbor there. i would say anywhere from about $1.00 to potentially up to 3 meters. now let's talk about where the storm is going to go. we don't think it will make a land fall in hong kong. it's going to raise the city for sure. we think the land fall will come in ones on profits, which is just west of hong kong. but we also got to talk about macau, i think this will be really bad for the count, but let's focus on hong kong right now. the next 3 days, 300 millimeters of rain. so what does this mean? that is about a months worth of rain coming out. you within 24 to 48 hours. showers will linger for the next few days. but look, this will also pump in the humidity feeling about 3738 over the next little bit. so here's where the storm went to cause a lot of damage on northern philippines. lose on island, extensive flooding there,

stream flooding. it moved from the philippine sea to where it is right now in the south trying to see, but there's a lot going on in asia pacific. we've got another type thing we need to talk about as this one close in on taiwan. so i'm going to paint a red line on here. this will show us the path of the storm as it closes in on taiwan looking to be about a category 3 storm. it will make landfall in a low line areas in eastern taiwan beach resorts there. so this will have a big impact and then we've also got a tropical storm looking like it is going to narrow in on japan's kyushu island over the next few days. this will not be bad in comparison, but it will spread a lot of rain and wind to southern japan. so mailing a lot going on in asia pacific that we're going to be tracking over the next several days. but this type phone will be bad for hong kong, and because really southern china and the worst is still to come. thank you for that. jeff harrington on whether presenter to me well, clean up is on the way in parts of the south eastern us that were hit by hurricane

adalia. it's now we can to a tropical storm and the estimates of the damage in florida in georgia between $12.00 and $20000000000.00 at least 3 people died in the storm related incidents in the us to were killed in cuba. a sentencing and pulling our people are very thing to choose. the next president close to $3000000.00 people expect it to cost the ballots. 3 candidates in the running to replace the incumbent halima yackel. the rule is mainly ceremonial and supposed to be non political election is the 1st to be contested. in more than a decade, tony chang has moved from outside upholding stations. singapore is heading into the polling booth today to make the choice of president the 1st time that election has, has happened in more than a decade. and there is a very clear choice of the 3 candidates, a phone, the deputy prime minister, who only resigned from the ruling policy a couple of months ago,

once he was considered as possible replacement for the prime minister. now he's running for president, but there is the possibility there might be an upset today. the ruling p a p has had a couple of scandals this year, a corruption investigation, the exposure of some of its m p's immoral behavior. and although it's very rare and simple for elections to be upset, this might be a challenge. so those has expressed some little bit of discontent. tony chang houses or a single let's get well unless we can speak to one of the jump, lots of de la, he's an assistant professor 9 young technological university joins us now live from single pool. thank you for your time, sir. so as we've been hearing that this is this presidency role is largely ceremonial. so why does this selection even matter? all right, so even though it's sitting on the old, a couple of executive part was that the president has, but in concert with the government of the data, 5 minutes send a cabinet. one is the president presidents

a send is needed to unlock the results. and the other is the president and also if people sit up symbols of this positions, but more than to it's full. so symbolic in the sense that this is essentially a referendum under will in part the and how well the input, the is perceived by the electorate. at this point in time, as they accept corresponded mentioned just now it's been somewhat at the billing time for the input fee because of the scandals that have happened at the same time . and it's widely popular among single buttons. he is the, when he was end up, if he was a politician that got the most votes getting his own constituency. so his popularity probably exceeds that of his, but is all his former. but this, however, in a presidential election, because the less is that stick, people may be more liberal with the anti establishment. but it's with you telling us a bit more about the scandals that have affected the policy, the ruling party. how has it's, uh, how tell us

a bit more about it and how you think it may affect that performance a hi. okay, so there is one that is currently still under investigation involving administer. so this was brought up by the government itself. it was an internal investigation by dakota, correct? but this was investigation beautiful. and the prime minister was the one reflected out to probably one so citizens, they didn't know about it until the governmental us involving a minister who's, who has been suspended because of investigations about corruption. so if you don't know much about what's going to happen, but that has obviously left sort of a bit that this in menacing a buttons miles does. another one, it was a 6, kendall involving the speaker off volume and, and a member of parliament from the holding party. and the speaker and the member of parliament both resigned as well. so how did the 3 candidates stuck up against each other? yeah, so someone is clearly the one who is most recognizable, she is

a former deputy prime minister. she wants to sit. i mean, it's been kept in that she is quote, unquote, i get as the most presidential in, in that way in that sense of the, of the candidates is very interesting. so one is from cops on, she was part, he was the link to the government as part of the government investment corporation . and he says that she is part of this w establishment, but she's not endorsed by the link, but the so that's usually the other one thinking then is someone who has been endorsed by many of position fi goes. so she identifies games. so obviously is the anti establishment of through and the visual candidates. so you have one formerly from the didn't but the now the one who has as the basement, but not endorsed by the living. but these are the middle ground tend to do and to find one who is that clearly and by us the best one can do to know if this was just based on ability then and recognize ability of yesterday time on is the arts on 3

of us he should win pretty easily. however, as i said, it is a little bit more than that, even though the money is still likely to win. i do not fussy and upset, but the volt shipment this because ultimately as i said, this is going to be in, but at least that i find them under the input, the very interesting to speak to pulse close in the next 45 minutes or so will be keeping across all the results, hit on al jazeera. thank you for your time, sir. thank you. the african union has suspended cabal, and following wednesdays, crew hop decision, powell, the ministry council, will be election results in which president of the bunker was declared, the winner. the opposition says it won the election on his cooling on the ministry to finish counting the votes. nicholas hawk reports general's in gabon gather to pray for the success of police in grandma, the general that took down the 55 year long bond go dentist. after staging a crew on wednesday,

a very good example of the challenges and the way that schools here are trying to overcome them. this is school number 2 in independent school, like schools throughout ukraine, in fact, most fullness of republics, and mach, this very important day. september 1st tradition is the 1st day packet school children at an apple with that that families at a pin was right on the front line. i'll be fighting when rocks are invaded. that beginning of last year is just built of key. but a lot of the schools here were either damaged or destroyed. in fact, some of the schools, this is the 2nd academic year of this war. they are still only just being reopened, but as well as the gaming with damage. a lot of the schools in safer areas of ukraine or red ground, that key even to the west of the dealing with an influx, solves families and that children phone see more war effected areas down to the south and the east. and so they do me with that and then also other more practical considerations such as the air raid shelter that

a school might have that limits the number of children you can have in school any one time. also, when we, as we see with the ceremony here at this school, it affects uh, the number of children that can come out and celebrate this event. normally, this is a school of 1600 children. you would have all $1600.00 here, but that poses all sorts of extra risk. so to minimize those risk, what we've seen here is the oldest children. the 11th grade is um, the youngest children in the 1st grade is turning off, having the ceremony and go get it. now the children come in later on, but it keeps a lot of live the tradition and for the youngest children, of course, with the 1st grade is the 1st day of big school september. the 1st doesn't get much big on this is a new school and a new place this 1st day. it's both exciting and doing thing for the arena, mrs. jenco about to $106.00. eventually, i was going to the kindergarten before. she tells us that level. okay,

that's when she and the family sheltered in the basement will come from. i want to learn my less as the numbers. i don't know them very well yet. my grandmother has been helping me most going appreciate everything is new because almost everything she and her family owned was left behind in the southern region of kind of son and the other somebody. why shouldn't i listen to that? she would attend the same school as i did, and now her village you own is one of the best for your child that us instead, a new school will be north of keep. westwood continues repairing buildings, so with damaged in the initial invasion which and now dealing with an influx of children from the fighting in the south and the east of their friends life change. the 2 types of change that i'm writing this change. so there's a huge mental pressure on those children and full that teaches as the added burden of creating time tables according to the size of the shelters. for example,

the screws, which i have ok to will just of like, 15 minute go to that. i'm not, the shipping cost is under for $3.00 under $200.00, and so to be on the target and coming out of time to the school estimates very, but it's reckoned as many as $3000.00 schools have been damaged or completely destroyed. since the start of the war and in the last academic yeah, i would be about to quote, sort of ukranian schools were able to offer full time in person learning. this is all that's left of 12 year old. so if the fed, a chang goes home village in the south of speech. now this was the school she attended, the she and the family adjust to a new life. pamela, they sent me to you a super bowl last year and i didn't go to school at all. we didn't even have intimate. by the time we were able to leave. the school year was almost over, over the course of theater, and thousands of other displaced children priority on the 1st day of school. how to

making up for lost time had to bullish color mcbride. i'll just say around you the pin ukraine and of course, the 18 months of war comes on top of 2 years of cobra to no lives a disruption from that still things are gradually improving according to save the children. these academic kid, there are 2300000 children back in person learning in schools. that's an improvement from 1300000 last year. it's hope the next day will improve still further yet still this year there's more than 40 percent of all children in ukraine have an extremely limited access to inputting learning at schools like this one. thank you for that role. mcbride that for us in a pin process and best the to is yeah, no longer has diplomatic immunity matters related, stripped sylvan needs of that protection. i'm instructed police to evict him.
