you are watching outside source. after the storm, the clear up, early images from the florida keys showing the power from hurricane images from the florida keys showing the powerfrom hurricane irma. immunity is also in ruins and the turks and caicos, but communities determined to rebuild. everybody telling us the same thing, tourism is the lifeblood of these communities, and without it, the suffering will continue. the new iphone will recognise your face, and possibly the look of shock when you realise the price tag is up to $1000. if you want to get in touch... welcome to the programme. after the
9:31 pm
hurricane, the clear up in florida. parts of the badly hit florida keys have reopened to residents. emergency agencies helping 60% of homes without power. it is really ha rd to homes without power. it is really hard to believe just a couple of days ago. we have been driving around florida, just before the storm, just after rick, to seek what has been happening. many people clearly not returning, it is quiet on the streets. nobody walking round. just the odd person. some people who evacuated will be thinking there is nobody, this property leaving strong messages. we have seen the kind of damage to
9:32 pm
trees, mostly. the people of the area of florida consider themselves to have dodged a bullet. even though the call of the storm did not come ashore. the worst of it went across the florida keys, where there is absolute devastation. still around 60% of florida without power. i was ina 60% of florida without power. i was in a hotel at the height of the storm that lost power. as you might expect, some places got worse than they were expecting, others felt, as you say, like they dodged a bullet. what did irma do differently than what was forecast? across this part of the welcome on the west coast, a lwa ys of the welcome on the west coast, always going to be the storm surge, with the biggest potential for damage. miami area, the downtown district area, that was always clearly badly affected with the storm surge. the thinking was
9:33 pm
anywhere from naples, right the way to tamper, the waters would rush in, causing devastation. it is all with have the hurricane work, the dynamics. when the wind blows in the circular fashion, dynamics. when the wind blows in the circularfashion, it turned out dynamics. when the wind blows in the circular fashion, it turned out as the storm approached, the winds were coming off the land. what they did, they pushed the sea out further into they pushed the sea out further into the gulf of mexico, what happened in tampa bay area, dc dropped. the biggest worry was once the storm was pulling away to the north, the wind would come rushing back in off the gulf of mexico. pushing water up through the tampa bay, potentially bringing a storm surge of ten feet. that did not quite happen, the second bit of the storm was not as powerful. we are still to assess the
9:34 pm
effects further south, around naples and fort myers. it's safe to say, could have been much worse, at least in the area i am in right now. bangladesh's prime minister says me and mark must take back thousands of refugees who have fled across the border. —— me and . she made the comments while visiting one of the camps. more than 5000 people have fled in the last few weeks. many of them without food, water or shelter. more than 300,000 people have now fled from myanmar in the last couple of weeks alone and many of them are now without food, water and shelter. miss hasina spoke to the bbc about the human suffering she's witnessed and had some sharp criticism for her neighbour. they should have not allow the army or the law enforcement agencies to attack the common people.
9:35 pm
what is the crime of the children or women or the innocent people? they are not responsible. they should go back. we're working with the un and international organisations, they should put pressure so organisations, they should put pressure so that they act accordingly, taking them back. our correspondent filed a report on the prime minister'svisit. the prime minister has been visiting the refugee camps. one of the main refugee camps. one of the main refugee camps. one of the main refugee camps. very significant moment in the development of this growing refugee crisis. she gave a clear commitment to the refugees flooding over the border. describing what is being done as inhuman. she called it a violation of their human
9:36 pm
rights. one of the most densely populated countries in the world, still we are sheltering them. we will stand by them. she said bangladesh once good relations with burma. it will not tolerate justice. she talked about atrocities being committed against the people. she urged the international community to stop the killing of what she called innocent people. she also asked the world to remember the fact that bangladesh understands what it is like to be a refugee. she asked people to remember how many bangladeshis were exile during the 1971 independence. she said we understand your plight. at the same time, growing criticism of the way the nephew gaa is being organised. we still see incredibly chaotic scenes. the bangladesh government imposing restrictions on different aid agencies can operate. that is
9:37 pm
why you see such chaotic scenes. why so why you see such chaotic scenes. why so many why you see such chaotic scenes. why so many refugees why you see such chaotic scenes. why so many refugees are telling us they have had no help whatsoever. despite the visit of the prime minister, growing criticism of the way bangladesh is organising the crisis. reeta chakra barthi is in cox's bazar. the scenes have been miserable ones. nearer 400,000 refugees coming here injust under three nearer 400,000 refugees coming here in just under three weeks. living in fairly pitiful conditions. you can perhaps see behind me there are various makeshift shelters put up by refugees themselves. just made a tarpaulin and bamboo. everybody sleeping, it is after one in the morning in bangladesh. this is a huge sprawling refugee camp. you see the shelters all over the place.
9:38 pm
some much smaller than this. some much more flimsy. people setting up camp by the roadside. one of the saddest things i have seen from the people standing under trees, in a nearby forest. they did not seem to have many possessions, perhaps they did not seek space to set up a camp. they just days. did not seek space to set up a camp. theyjust days. many people walking four days to here. they have clearly suffered some trauma on the radio. what are the main concerns about the way the bangladesh government has responded to this huge influx of people. the main concern has been a lack of aid and coordination, as i said, the shelters have been largely built and set up by the refugees themselves. no official tents handed out. there is some coordination of age. people lining up to get access
9:39 pm
to bamboo from a tarpaulin. at the same time, we have seen some people taking a into their own hands. for the best motivated reasons. the aid arriving in tracks, simply flung out of trucks. clothes, food, some of it hitting mud, not usable. some leading to crowds gathering outside the tracks, fighting over this the supplies. the main criticism of the bangladesh government, a slowness to engage. one of the main aid agencies said the sheer scale of numbers have been a real problem. they have been expecting 100,000 people, they have four times that much. today the bangladesh prime minister came on her first visit to the camp. it is hoped that that is signalled the government is starting to acknowledge it has did do something about the problem. it has recognised
9:40 pm
it has to do something about it. don't forget a lot more detail on the top stories on the bbc website. much more on the crisis, as well as the latest on the devastation caused by harry kane. —— hurricane irma. this is the new director of communications for the white house, hope hicks. let's get the latest about this new arrival. quite a turnover of staff in this particular role? i know. i sometimes think they have the life expectancy of mayflies. hope hicks is a survivor in the trump circle. she has been there since the beginning, one of
9:41 pm
donald trump's first presidential campaign aides. she worked in the trump business empire. if anyone is able to make that position last, it is someone like folk, who knows donald trump, who knows how to deal with him. and can frame a communications message that donald trump will find pleasing. she is not exactly front of house. describe what the directory communications does, opposed to press secretary. director communications is usually the person behind the scenes, running the big picture managing. the communications team, press releases, helping to craft communication strategies. the press secretary is the face of the administration. they are the ones
9:42 pm
out in front of the reporters. the communications director should be behind. anthony scare me she was only in thejob behind. anthony scare me she was only in the job for ten days. seems like he wanted to be the face of the administration. got himself in hot water, because of what he said. she was a typically working behind the scenes facilitating information for the responses. interesting to see how she handles this role. she has been there in an acting capacity since her predecessor was forced out months ago. what has been the general reaction? very young burning a pretty big salary. -- she is earning. very young, 28. unusual,
9:43 pm
thatis earning. very young, 28. unusual, that is usually a senior role at the white house. i'm not sure what the exact salaries, probably close to the maximum for a white house official, $180,000 a year. not surprising she was not donald trump's first pick and took awhile to get thejob trump's first pick and took awhile to get the job nailed trump's first pick and took awhile to get thejob nailed down. someone that donald trusts. the thing we have heard time and time again. the problem was that his positions will not be explained well and to the media. donald trump understands this about his personality. conceivably he may be able to betterjust than some of the establishment people who have the job before some of the establishment people who have thejob before her. some of the establishment people who have the job before her. some of the tweets about hope hicks. a lotta
9:44 pm
people wondering how long disappointment will last. a very good question. a remarkable man turnover in this white house. not just in the communications director's position. that is likely defence of the dark arts instructor at in harry potter. seems like it is very short, and they leave an abrupt circum— stances. we have seen people like steve bannon, in previous roles. we have seen the exits rather quickly. more than the traditional white house. she knows the president, she has the president's trust. she has as good as shocked as anyone. turkey has signed a deal with russia to arm its forces with russian
9:45 pm
anti—aircraft missiles. from our istanbul correspondent. a clear rebuff to nato. president erred again says nobody has the right to discuss turkey's defence position. this is what is causing the controversy. it is the s400. causing the controversy. it is the $400. the causing the controversy. it is the s400. the russian side as a range of 400 miles. it will be hard to integrate with nato's air defence. he isa integrate with nato's air defence. he is a turkish journalist's take on white turkey has done this. saying it is about signalling resentment against the west, rather than serving turkey's pressing security needs. the political aspect of this decision is pretty significant. of course, it has a military aspect.
9:46 pm
turkey has been looking for deploying in air defence system for the last five or six years. they give them other opportunities. cutting a deal with the chinese company later cancelled. they held negotiations with the americans as well. with this decision, buying 400 and defence from russia. pretty significant. turkey has been a nato member. in the western camp ever since the cold war. the political aspect is that turkey is sending a strong message to western allies, looking into other alliance options. in practical terms, it will be a
9:47 pm
challenge to integrator russian system with other nato members?m is correct. turkey's systems are all complying with nato. that is quite different to what it has been buying. nobody knows how it will be implemented. there will be significant technical challenges, as this purchase is implemented. we will wait and see how it will go through. according to the government and media in turkey, the first deployment will start in 2019. we have two years. interesting to see russia will be deploying systems in a nato country, as well as having access to nato systems, and nato may have access to a complex russian system. over the last few months,
9:48 pm
what has led to this message being sent out by turkey, that russia is a significant player in its strategy? why is it sending the message so strongly to the west? a reminder, turkey and russia are at odds when it comes to syria. turkey shot down a russian jets back it comes to syria. turkey shot down a russianjets back in it comes to syria. turkey shot down a russian jets back in 2015. it comes to syria. turkey shot down a russianjets back in 2015. the military coup in turkey last year in july is a pretty significant milestone, when it comes to turkey's relations with other countries. the turkish government and supporters feel betrayed by the western allies, they did not get the support from european countries and states. there are many coup suspects, who turkey accuses of taking part in the
9:49 pm
attempt. they are now in europe and the united states. none of turkey's commands and requests for these people to be extradited to turkey has been accepted by these countries. opposition flirtations in cani have boycotted the official opening of parliament. —— in cani billy mckay lynn at first glance, looks like business as usual. to make a important elements were missing. supreme court judges and the position legislators. the constitution requires the president who opened an address the first session of a new parliament.
9:50 pm
this was a joint sitting of the senate and the national assembly. the separation of powers, the three arms of government, is a critical constitutional principle. in protecting the liberty of our people. given the complexity of the public issues of the three arms of government, as well as constitutional commissions having to handle, they must work together. willingly, even as they respect each other‘s functional independence. willingly, even as they respect each other's functional independence. the opposition made good their threat to boycott the event. as the opposition can we say it is important we don't give him an audience, we don't give him, because he is not sure whether he will be the present. also
9:51 pm
conspicuously absent were judges from the supreme court, who traditionally would attend the reopening of parliament. earlier this month, they ignore the action of the present and ordered a fresh poll. the office of the chief justice told the bbc they did not receive an invitation from the speaker free—macro parliament. following thejudgment, speaker free—macro parliament. following the judgment, the president said he respect the decision, but also cause the judges crooks. apple's has launched its new iphone. it was unveiled to hundreds at a huge product event in san francisco less than an hour ago, by apple chief tim cook. it ten years since stevejobs introduced the world to the first model. new features include edge—to—edge display, facial recognition id system— and advanced augmented reality features. that means it mixes virtual objects with real—world views from the phone's camera. it's not all been flowing from the
9:52 pm
crowds in san francisco. this tweet says, not huge cheers for the iphone eight. a setback for the facial recognition technology. the first attempt to i —— unlock the iphone did not work. someone who has also been watching in that san francisco audience is charlie brown, technology commentator from cbn, in australia. i spoke to him about what he made of it all. i don't agree with the other comments you presented just before, that with iphone eight, it was more of the same. traditional improvements, no doubt, with the iphone ten which they announce,
9:53 pm
designed to be a 10—year special, the best of everything, a lack of cleverness in that, it is a beautiful handset. the sorry thing about it, if you want to purchase it when it comes out in november, it will cost over £1000. most of us will cost over £1000. most of us will look at it, dream about it, not able to afford it. the interesting thing about the facial recognition, it is designed to unlock a handset easier and faster than ever before. what we do also have, you never mixed technology with live, and that is when the facial issue happened. costing over £1000, another factor. we will talk about what is going on in florida, the clear up, parts of the badly hit florida keys have reopened to residents. for others, returning home could be weeks away.
9:54 pm
the clearing up is still going on. the clearing up is still going on. thejob of the clearing up is still going on. the job of clearing up the roads, the clearing up is still going on. thejob of clearing up the roads, we can show you a google map of the florida keys. the highway connecting most of the islands. it is in urgent need of clearance, as you can see. another big task, assessing the state of the hundreds of bridges linking the florida keys. all of the islands, a lot of those are damaged. emergency federal agent released to help the 60% of homes in the state without power. one story before we go. you may recognise this. the monkey that took a selfie after picking up a camera owned by british photographer. the image has been subject of a two year fight with an animal legal rights group. they said the copyright belonged to the monkey. thanks forjoining me, that time
9:55 pm
again, we tried to push the horizons further. on this occasion, it will ta ke further. on this occasion, it will take us through the greater part of the forthcoming week. before all of that, a story right here, right now. the met office has an amber warning for the wind strength, in association with the first named storm of the season. coming right the way through the heart of the british isles. the potentialfor gusts up to 60 miles an hour. if things come together, we may seek across the north of england, the gusts could approach 75 miles an hour. the southern part of england and scotland, potential of a couple of inches of rain through the course of inches of rain through the course of the night. storm aileen has that
9:56 pm
potential. could be power lines and trees coming down. once the storm has gone from the showers aplenty. across western parts of the british isles. they generally drier you are when you are further south. you may see a passing chalet here. into thursday, i want to bring to your attention we have a great run of north—westerly winds all the way from the north—west of the british isles right down across the country. that will have the potential to merge share was together, long spells of rain. possible across north of scotland. maybe for a time and down to eastern coastal areas. it will be a blustery day, a mixture of sunny spells and showers. if you see more of yourfair share of showers, though chavez will have the effect of losing three or four macro
9:57 pm
degrees every time they come through. by friday, not a great deal of difference. still a north—westerly flow, still plenty of showers. the wind is not as strong. not feeling spectacularly warm. temperatures 12—17. we are as far as the weekend, just noticed, high pressure trying to win the battle between the low pressure. just toppling. that has an effect of taking away the jewel north—westerly is this if anything, a little bit of something easterly. that will change the distribution of showers. northern and eastern parts. they will see the bulk of the showers. anything with the northern league, not going to be overly warm. especially if you leave the sunshine. not a great deal of difference getting to sunday. high—pressure still dominant across the western portions of the british isles. the bulk of the chappers three northern and eastern areas. we
9:58 pm
keep that set up onto the first part of the forthcoming week. a neck of high—pressure trying to settle things. keeping the low pressures at bay. from mid week onwards, what will happen that neck will be severed. we believe the northern portion, that will shrink away opening the door to the possibility of low pressure moving in from the atlantic, pretty wet and windy weather. in from the atlantic and down and across the british isles. starting off fairly quietly. could turn a good deal more unsettled later. temperatures for the most part, by day and night, ritzy place to ravage. —— pretty close to ravage. tonight at ten: the cap on public sector pay is to be lifted but only for police and prison officers in england and wales. the award of a 1% pay rise — and a 1% bonus to police officers — is part of a new approach,
9:59 pm
according to ministers. we feel now is the time to move to a more flexible approach to make sure we do deal with any issues we've got in the public services. there's 1.7% for prison officers, but the unions say that all public sector workers deserve a rise, after being capped for several years. the government is making a big mistake in thinking it can get away with just lifting the cap. people have waited seven long years. and this on the day news came that inflation has risen again to itsjoint highest level in more than five years. also tonight... after hurricane irma, we visit a corner of
