ball and the is suspended from the african union. a day off to the ministry carry the house of president on the phone, guys, and it's back to school for children in ukraine as the country struggles to cope with the devastation of watches. the we begin in hong kong is the braces for what could be it's west storm and 5 years, ty, food and charlotte is currently biling to as china is southern coast, tens of millions of people across the region of hunker down as winds of 220 kilometers, but alas, week to west hong kong. charlotte is weakening, but it remains the equivalent of a category full hurricane. the financial hub has grounded slides, shut down and stopped moccasin play schools. it's a should what it's called a t a signal, which is the city's fed highest high food warning level and on china's mainland

authorities issue the highest type in warning for the stone and sions, in bordering hong kong, has also suspended work and public transport. judging its citizens to stay at home . what the present to jeff harrington has been tracking, typhon shala. i 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 or the blue and yellow that is a more intense rain. so you saw there was 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 winds around the eye of the storm. look at that 220 kilometers per hour. so that puts it at a cat for 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 eyes of the storm

. 14 meters. so for bit of perspective, i'm about 1.8 meters, so that would be about 7 or 8 of me stacked on top. so with that in mind, this will have a big impact on transport. number of boats have already docked because of how bad the 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 long pull in hong kong. it's going to raise the city for sure. we think the land fall will come in $1000.00 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 and caused 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 the clean off is on the way and parts of the se in us that were hit by hurricane. it's all there. so now we can to a tropical storm, highly estimates of the damage in florida in georgia, between $12.00 and $20000000000.00. at least 3 people died in storm related incidents in the us to were killed in cuba. first thing is on the way in single pulls presidential election, the 1st time the position has been contested since 2011. while the front runner a full my deputy prime minister is expected to win. some think the result could be close to any tang reports from single early morning cues outside of singapore in polling station. this presidential election appears to have generated more excitement. and those in the past and vote is keen to get in and exercise the

democratic rights. yeah, i'm really happy shows have you truly a democratic country and 3 great candidates and the best men wins. yeah, single people has really a blossom a lot is not very highly technical in profession. and democracy has that blossom with it. i hope so. uh, but from the, from the way it is run, i think everything seems to be open the recent constitutional changes of and showed great the choice and the balance. well, the president is a non political post something this could become a referendum and the ruling party. lots of people are heading into the polling stations here in senior pool to make the pick for the new president. and this is the 1st time in more than a decade. so they've had the chance to do so. but in the country ruled by the same political policy for more than 60 years, people may also be looking for little more choice. we're looking also at,

at an electorate, you know, that is more desirous of a political diversity, maybe even some participation, you know, in the one part you dominant state people here. question the success of the city state. that's now one of the richest countries in the world. but the economic development has not been matched by political change. and this selection could be an indication that voters would like a little more choice. totally chung l to 0, single. todd's king has reduced the prison sentence, a full my prime minister tax, and sion awards form a premier will now sub only one year, instead of 8 on thursday sion. what off the king full of royal pardon? he returned home from 15 years of self imposed exile last week and was immediately taken into custody. his imprisonment is related to cases including abuse of power and corruption. the african union has suspended the bone falling. wednesday's

the embassy is checked by the security pauses. and if there is a suspicious cat, a cat, they waive him down and then ask him questions. and yesterday, in particular, we saw them move along with 2 people who seemed like the actually a french coming out of the embassy. all right. well, what more can you tell us about the activity of international organizations in news? yeah. but how, how is a been affected of the one? basically the military has suspended the operations of non governmental organizations in the country. but one of the shuttle was quick to point out that they have suspended the activities of these organizations because of the security situation in the country. and in fact, they are all on the limiting the approaches in areas militarize, areas or areas. while security is needed or aware of security is really,

really a big problem. so basically what they're saying is that this was funded the operations and they didn't say exactly when they are going to resume operations in those areas or nationwide. but members of the non governmental organizations operating in the country, take this as the suspension of all active or just images. yeah. this is as a time when the exchange of words between phones, especially i'm, is yeah, continue. and then the pressure from going to the community or west africa state, also continuous uh for the military to handle the back or the restore cost additional or the image. yeah. okay, thank you for that. i had interest outside the french embassy in me, only one. palestinian has been killed and 3 others injured off. his really forces stone, the village of combat and the occupied westbank. fighting broke out between the is riley troops on the, on the wing of the small mc jihad movement. israel says it had surrounded the home

a type francis visits a smoke asked the community in mongolia, said he why it's all in the name of diplomacy. so i'm on with the in southern mexico where residents of one indigenous community are hoping that a new state of the art railway system that cuts through the rain forest will bring about a much needed boost to the local economy. that's coming up. the . there is more record heat to talk about in western australia. hey everyone, this time in the states, capital pers 30.2. that's good enough for record for the month of august. of course, now we're in september and temperatures of lowered with a weather friend coming in, spreading a few showers and wind, but elsewhere across the country. things are quiet temperatures of also come down in the kimberly as well. so boom,

the evenings is fun. phase one more women of the stormy stance that will buy style to increase when, when a me to rebel bike is receiving life and lead to safe stay drink on out just the or the the welcome back you're watching out. is there a mind to our top story? is this our on kong and other parts of southern china?

a grinding to a halt is tie soon. shala head that way, and civilians are staying at home, is transportation is suspended with businesses. shots. international flights have been canceled faces in singapore, choosing the next presidency election is being seen by some assets, unofficial west, brendan, when the governance reco calling a series of corruption scandals and the rising cost. the african union has suspended component as the member. it follows the queue that wednesday when minute treat is deposed. president on the phone goes to position, says it one the next to children in ukraine, mocking that 1st day back at school as the country struggles to cope with the 2nd year of a full scale war. as with all the former soviet republic, september 1st is the start to the academic yet, and it's widely celebrated. but you create a courses dealing with the destruction of hundreds of schools on the displacement

of thousands of children and their families. rob mcbride reports from this town of a pin north of cave. so this is a new school and then you place this 1st day. it's both exciting and don't thing for the arena. ms. jen coe about to $106.00 had become a nation. i was going to the kindergarten before, she tells us then the wall. okay. that's when she and the family sheltered in the basement, will say 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 to be sure that everything is new because almost everything she and her family owned was left behind in the southern region of kind of song on the other somebody or should 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 what continues repairing buildings. so what

damaged in the initial invasion, which is now dealing with an influx of children from the fighting in the south and the east of the friends life change the time. so i've changed 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 have ok to we'll just have like 15 minutes to target them at the shampoo cup. best is on the board to the end of the children. so to the children come a tough time to the school estimates very, but it's reckoned as many as 3000 schools have been damaged or completely destroyed since the start of the war. and in the last academic yeah, only about a quarter of ukrainian schools were able to offer full time in person learning. this is all that's left of 12 year old. so if the fed chang goes home village in

the south, and this was the school she attended, she and a family adjust to a new life of the family to send me to 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, all was about the fish philosophy and thousands of other displays. children. the priority on this 1st day of school making up for lost time had to bullish color mcbride. i'll just say around you, the pin ukraine organized crime, gangs of thought to be responsible for a wave of attacks and equity was capital re to, to cobblestone to the countries and present it for c one went to a for there's headquarters, the 2nd outside offices that it used to use, there was also 3 grenade explosions in quito. 6 people have been arrested. i was off to be a tax person, is in 6 jails across ecuador, took $57.00 prison gods and police hostage ahead of the roman

catholic church, pay phones. this house arrived in the predominantly, but his nation off mongolia. the country is home to only about $1500.00 catholics. baskin says the visit will draw attention to people on the peripheries of society. who collins is a historian of the catholic church. he says pay francis is reaching out to montgomery as neighbors, russian, china, the hi francis is very much a man who is concerned about the peripheries of the church. and he is not so concerned about, well established catholic areas. like, for instance, a milan and easily openness initially, or a big hispanic catholic population in los angeles in the united states. he's concerned about the people who live on the ages if you like. so he really is trying to give voice to people on the periphery. he also has

a great interest in asia. he is really concerned why catholics a very much and a minority of christians, a very much in a minority issue with the exception of the philippines. and he's very much concerned. the guy also have a voice. mongolia sits geographically right between china and russia. he's concerned in china about the appointment of bishops and keeping a relationship going with the communist government of china in russia. he's concerned about keeping relationships going with the russian. ready orthodox church . the orthodox church has been very supportive on the russian government and the war and ukraine box. he still wants to keep doors with the russian orthodox. i think those 2 things, i think also another thing that's important to you is that ongoing is largely or just the country. and again, john, a po francis has been

a person who has been very much reaching out to the other great types of the world . and so i was interested to see that what is a mongolia is, is quite a bit some units in coordination. well, the pipe po francis has not yet met the deadline lama again, perhaps because of sensitivities to china. the in southern mexico construction is ongoing. on the controversial maya train, over the 1500 kilometers of railway will connect 5 mexican states. but critics say the route may undermine indigenous cultural heritage. money or upon the reports. she is a quiet indigenous community in mexico's game den at real estate. the town is well known for their traditional mind embroidery care for kit. my your meant that ok, let's do you. what we do is all handed braided using accounted for it. took me this

region of mexico is one of the poorest in the country. the word of a new railway project coming through town has many here hope the local economy could soon be put on the right track. it will play somebody at that place if someone spend sound the will hoping to take advantage of the my entry to produce in so many more valley employee duties. but not everyone is on board with the new railway job in maya or maya train in spanish. and it's not difficult to see why much of the space that's been carved out for the $20000000000.00 project cuts right through the jungle. walking along this construction site, you can clearly see the way the rain forest has been split into. but this massive infrastructure project has also divided opinion here in mexico. mexican authorities say the railway could lift more than a 1000000 people out of poverty and generate more than 700000 new jobs by the end

of the decade. but indigenous active, it's like on head, so lube say what they see is a scar across the rain forest landscape. most get some for you. look at that i that's the book. see on another method and that's what i did this project. bins destruction the $22.00 nature but also to the social fabric. the government's argument is job creation. but we have to look at it in a deeper way in order to appreciate that will impact it will happen to my end. people. and the maya train was thought up by mexican president under this manuel lopez over the problem is the state of the art scenic railway to boost tourism and the promise of an economic pool for some of the poorest communities in the country . despite concerns from environmentalists, indigenous activists, and even the archaeologist completion of the mind train is scheduled for the end of this year. but it won't. and the arguments in developing nations like mexico, about striking a balance between economic development and social responsibility. minimize it up

a little al jazeera, you should be cheated. mexico and wells longest running film festival has opened in venice. upon many hollywood stalls and directs is the same way and supports of actors and writers who are on strike. so when you go has a there was no shortage of blitz, but it was a distinctly european steel. the seat on the red carpet would still make cuz actors and even a police file, right, deputy prime minister. one thing was lacking a big hollywood presence. despite highly anticipation still releases the ongoing strike by american actors and writers, binding them from promoting films of a shadow, the event. it may have brought the us sent attainment industry to a standstill. but in venice that will support. i've been there already with the writers and the actors and like verified is

a fight for also makers and it's against create and profit that the opening ceremony tribute was paid to 90 year old attorney and director liliana kalani. the 1st woman ever to win the golden blind lifetime achievement to award. she called for grace of recognition of female filmmakers. so long as she needs the 3 children, geez, the, the women screen writers and directors who are working. he probably was just as well as the men. if we look at the what carefully, if we give them the opportunity to be seen, this is something that i believe the festival should consider. that last i didn't say i don't see that a let me close on kicking off the festival. the world will to drama by direct to eduardo, the i'm jealous. come on down to based on a historical event. it tells the story of an a tale and submarine come on to who risk the life of his crew to rescue belgians. sailors who ship he had sunk in the

atlanta, the other films, making the debut in venice. priscilla, direct us of the a couple as film based on the man was of the wife of elvis presley. and i was calling today a soft time imagining to return the valley to of cheese ministry dictatorship. i will still be to ship as a 250 year old vampire living in a rundown mansion before you might have worked on them. yeah, so this is part of an absence of most american filmmakers. a message from this is julie president who was allowed to attend does he wasn't promoting a film. that's one of sarah. i think felina instead of best the, the vague and change them out loud and clear. for all of hollywood to hit sonya jago, how does era.
