0ur correspondent chris buckler is in wilmington. this storm is continuing to cause real problems for people here. they said time and time again, they warned people, that it could be a deadly hurricane. as we stand here, battling the weather, it is very clear that it continues to threaten property and people. we are just a short distance away from wrightsville beach, whether hurricane made landfall earlier today, and with it, all of that rain and all of that flooding. —— where the. the carolinas knew all of this was coming but they could never fully prepare for the force of florence. along this coastline, houses found

themselves on the frontline parade via singh coming storm and a surge of water that flooded streets and homes. —— frontline for a fierce incoming storm. despite the many days of warnings, there were people caught out, and families who needed to be rescued from their homes. in newburn, north carolina, emergency services had to move in as people became cut off. i've never been so terrified became cutoff. i've never been so terrified in my entire life. it was horrifying. just wondering what is going on, and where the water is going on, and where the water is going to go and how high it is going to go and how we are going to get out. in the town of wilmington, street after street was littered with the debris of the storm. huge trees no match for the power of the wings, even though this hurricane had weakened before it reached land. —— winds. this morning people

gathered to see what was left of their neighbourhood. they kept telling us how bad it would be and we thought we were prepared, but you just can't be prepared for that. there's nothing you can do when a tree falls. and this storm has already proved to be deadly. a fallen tree near here was responsible for killing a mother and her child. hurricane florence is powerful, slow and relentless. it is an uninvited brute who doesn't want to leave. while florence is here, some families have headed to the emergency shelters, faces where they know they will be safe. what are you worried about? not having a place to go home to, or a job. all those practical concerns are shared, as florence continues to hover over the carolinas. she is wheelchair-bound and it has been really love —— rough. i said, and it has been really love —— rough. isaid, god, jesus

and it has been really love —— rough. i said, god, jesus christ, please protect our home and everybody else in wilmington. evacuation warnings remain in place as families steeled themselves for another night of wind, rain and damage here on cape fear. —— steel themselves. people might have been briefly relieved, but the truth is, the wind is still strong enough to knock you over, and it will remain like that for some time. of particular concern is the rainfall and the flooding, as the storm surges continue. florence isjust hovering over this area and will do so hovering over this area and will do so through the weekend, and that means people need to be continually aware of florence and the damage she can do. in the phillippines, thousands of people have been moved out of coastal areas in the north of the country in preparation for the arrival of typhoon mangkhut. more than 5 million people are in its direct path. 0ur correspondent howard johnson has been travelling

through the provinces of cagayan and isabela, two areas weather forecasters say are likely to be hardest hit. within the last few hours, typhoon mangkhut has made landfall on the northern tip of the main island of luzon. 5 million people are in the path of this potentially deadly storm. authorities already urged thousands of people to move inland from vulnerable coastal areas. in nearby santa ana, local officials are not taking any chances. this school has been turned into an emergency shelter. translation: there is a tendency for landslides in this area in the past, so a village council has advised them to get out early. on the road out of kedia and province we passed farmers anxious to do what they can to

salvage their harvests. —— cagayan robbins. the philippines in viewers about 20 typhoons and storms each year. typhoon mangkhut is the strongest storm of 2018 so far. it is more than 500 miles in diameter, with sustained winds of over 160 miles an hour. we are around 100 miles an hour. we are around 100 miles away from where this storm is about to hit hardest. already the wings are up and it has been raining heavily. —— winds. most people have heeded the warning to stay inside and wait for this potentially devastating typhoon to pass. jerome balinton is a humanitarian responce officer for save the children. he joins us from the city of santiago in the philippines. thank you for speaking to us. just update us please, what is it like where you are? yes, i am in santiago right now, about 170 kilometres away from the land all area. the province

where i am right now is still placed underage tropical cyclone signal numberfour, underage tropical cyclone signal number four, which means underage tropical cyclone signal numberfour, which means you can still experience damaging winds and tropical rainfall. -- under a tropical. what have you been told to prepare for? we know that typhoon mangkhut will be a catastrophic storm. this is the fifth thai phone of the year and we know it will cause massive damage through the province in areas in its direct path. —— fifth typhoon. as far as our preparedness, save the children has sent out advance parties to immediately assess the situation, see the scale of the impact and provide immediate assistance to children and families that are

affected. we understand that the tycoon has been called a super—typhoon, and it has made landfall. have you heard any reports of the fact that? typhoon mangkhut has made landfall at 1:40am. it is actually six o'clock in the morning now, so it is five hours after the typhoon. we are closely monitoring the situation, but because we still couldn't get out of santiago, we do know based on the situation reports from our contacts in cagayan, where the typhoon has made landfall, that the typhoon has made landfall, that the damaging winds and heavy rainfall have caused massive damage to houses made of light materials and possibly be schools that are in the direct impact of this typhoon.

—— the schools. we understand that parts of the philippines are quite low lighting. is this going to impact on charities like yourselves orfirst responders impact on charities like yourselves or first responders getting access to those who need the help the most? there are several ways in how to transport relief items from government stations or warehouses in different parts of the country, but in these parts, we are particularly challenged to transport our goods, because those goods have to go through several mountain ranges, and we are afraid that the typhoon has caused massive landslides along these mountain ranges that may cause these mountain ranges that may cause the roads to be impassable. but there are airports in the area, for example, here in the provinces of

cagayan and isabela which may be an entry point for international aid and for government agencies to bring the relief items for anyone who will be supporting this relief effort. what is going to be the top priority once typhoon mangkhut has cleared and moved out towards, i believe it is heading out towards china? what is heading out towards china? what is your first priority? today, once we get clearance, our priority is to immediately assess the situation. what kind of assistance to the families and the children is needed? the quantity and the scale? this information is important for us, for save the children, to know the basis of our intervention. right now we know that there are millions of

people that are affected by the typhoon, and save the children, as a humanitarian organisation for children, is patrick hill are concerned about the security, about the welfare of the children. —— particularly concerned. the people who have six refuge, how long are they expected to stay in those shelters? if these families lost their homes, because most of the families in these areas are only leaving —— living in houses made of light materials, especially those in the mountainous areas, if they lose their homes, most of them have to stay in the evacuation centres or they will rely on government support

to ensure that they immediately recover and can rebuild their houses. and one thing that i would like to add also, is the impact of this typhoon to the livelihood of the people in these communities. agriculture is the one source of livelihood for these communities, and the devastating impact of typhoon mangkhut, for the livelihood of these people, is walliston. —— worrisome. and it can cause a ripple effect on the welfare of the family. jerome, thank you for that assessment and update, speaking to us assessment and update, speaking to us there from the city of santiago in the philippines. and for us here on bbc news we are of course monitoring the situation. as you heard, it is the early hours of the morning, the super—typhoon hasjust hit and we are only now beginning to get reports of the damage and devastation. but do stay with us and we will keep you updated with the latest. president trump's former campaign manager is to co—operate with the investigation into links

between russia and the trump campaign during the 2016 us presidential election. paul manafort has admitted two criminal charges, and as part of a plea bargain with prosecutors has agreed to help robert mueller‘s investigation. our north america editor jon sopel has this update. paul manafort had already been found guilty of bank and tax fraud and month ago, and he was due to face another trial when, at the 11th hour, he cut a plea deal with robert mueller, the special counsel, the man investigating whether there was collusion between russia and the trump campaign and whether there was obstruction of justice. trump campaign and whether there was obstruction ofjustice. after ma nafort obstruction ofjustice. after manafort was found guilty a month ago and was facing ten years in prison, donald trump tweeted about what a brave man he was for not doing a deal. what an example he was standing firm. well, now manafort has flipped. it means he will agree

to testify in any other proceedings. he will hand over papers. and one other key phrase, "he will help on any and all matters as to which the government deems relevant". in other words, he is giving robert mueller, the special counsel, a kind of wristband with access all areas written on it. one of the key areas for questioning will be, what happened at that trump tower meeting with donald trump jr and happened at that trump tower meeting with donald trumer and a russian lawyer who had a very close links with the kremlin, promising dirt on hillary clinton? now, the white house have issued a brief statement saying, look, all of this, the criminal prosecution, relates to a period before manafort was working for donald trump. but be in no doubt, in the white house this evening, i think donald trump's mood will have darkened and some of his family members will come a good deal more anxious. the time has just gone 11:15. the headlines on bbc news: four people have died as storm florence hits the us east coast, knocking out power to 600,000 homes

and causing buildings to crumble. in the philippines, typhoon mangkhut has made landfall with sustained winds of 125 miles per hour. president trump's former campaign manager, paul manafort, has agreed to co—operate with prosecutors in the investigation into russian interference in the presidential election. the high court has ruled the election watchdog interpreted the spending restrictions on the eu referendum which allowed the vote leave group to break the rules. the campaign group paid 625 thousand pounds to clear bills allegedly run up by a pro—brexit activist. the electoral commission initially said they didn't think this was a ploy to get round spending limits. but it later changed its mind and fined vote leave and the activist involved. both mr grimes and vote leave deny wrongdoing. funerals have been held forfour children who were killed

when their home in greater manchester was firebombed in the middle of the night last year. more than 200 people lined the streets of walkden, to remember demi, brandon, lacie, and lia pearson, who were aged between 15 and three. their mother michelle, who was injured in the attack, couldn't attend the funeral because she is unwell. two men are serving life sentences for the murders. the inquests into the westminster terror attack have heard harrowing details of attempts to save the life of pc keith palmer. khalid masood repeatedly stabbed the unarmed officer at the palace of westminster, after driving into pedestrians on the bridge in march last year. lawyers for pc palmer's family today raised concerns about the lack of armed officers stationed near him outside parliament. daniel sandford was in court. pc keith palmer, on duty at westminster less than an hour

before the attack. armed with a radio, a whistle, a stab—proof vest, cs spray and his baton. then, this. a car smashed into the side of parliament after killing people on westminster bridge. and witnesses saw khalid masood heading round the corner. police officers on duty at the entrance to parliament saw him coming through the gate. "i noticed a very large man with two extremely large knives, one in each hand," pc doug glaze told the inquest today. "he was walking like a robot, his hands moving up and down." pc glaze thought there might be multiple attackers. "i remember thinking, we're going to die," he said. antonia kerridge was watching from a nearby parliament building and she saw pc keith palmer fall over as khalid masood charged towards him. "the policeman had collapsed," she said today. "the attacker ran over to him, lent towards him and raised

the knife quite high, and hejust stabbed him two, three orfour times." another witness, james west, said the stabbing was slow and deliberate, like in a hollywood horror film. after about five seconds pc palmer, now badly injured, managed to get away, and a nearby close protection officer rushed in and shot khalid masood. the inquest was played a distressing audio recording of the 25 minutes in which people tried to save pc keith palmer's life. "police officer stabbed in the head," one person is heard saying into their radio, while others tried to reassure pc palmer, "you're ok, you're ok," and, "come on, son," they can be heard saying. but his pulse was getting weaker and eventually they lost him. during today's hearing the coroner heard that at the time of the attack it was not routine to have firearms officers stationed at the main vehicle gates to the house of commons. instead, their instructions were to do a roving patrol around the large area behind the entrance.

pc james ross, who was also on the gate that day, agreed that it left the ordinary unarmed officers like him exposed. "you've got no protection at all," he explained. asked if he thought the arrangements had been adequate, he said, "it's above my pay grade." no firearms officers had been at the gate for more than three quarters of an hour when masood attacked. the lawyer for pc palmer's widow, michelle, said her husband had been left to defend himself with a spray and a stick. daniel sandford, bbc news, at the old bailey. the shadow foreign secretary, emily thornberry, says labour is unlikely to support any brexit deal the prime minister makes with the european union. she says the party wouldn't vote for a "flimsy piece of paper" because the government says a no deal is the alternative. a party source however said labour's position hasn't changed, and ms thornberry was being sceptical about the negotiations with brussels. a man has been sentenced to 13 years in prison

the celebrity big brother programme is also being dropped. starting on channel 4 in 2000 it made household names of many people, including jade goody, and created some memorable tv moments — including the politician george galloway pretending to be a cat. i've been speaking to entertainment reporter and tv critic emma bullimore, and former big brother contestant aisleyne horgan—wallace, who appeared in the seventh series of the programme, to get their views. it is the end of an era. this was such a revolution in 2000 when it started. it was bold and different. no one had seen anything like it before. now it feels a bit sort of dated and irrelevant. that shows you how far we have come in 18 years. things like love island are exploding and big brotherfeels things like love island are exploding and big brother feels a bit old hat. that struck a chord with me. i think we

bit old hat. that struck a chord with me. ithink we in bit old hat. that struck a chord with me. i think we in big brother are the originators of reality tv. i think it has gone ape up now and it isa think it has gone ape up now and it is a bit sort of monotonous and people go in for the wrong reasons now, which is to seek fame. before it was more a social experiment and more interesting. para vista believe this is the end. i don't believe it is going to end. what it mean you, aisleyne? changed my life completely. i came from living in hostels to making a lot of money and now have a property portfolio worth millions. i made the right decisions. they made very clever business decisions, but it certainly helped me on my road to a better life. do you think, in terms of reality tv, we are going to see more of these reality tv, the format ending, is this the end of the road? i don't think it is the end of the road for reality. big brother kicked it off and was the originator, but everything has a stone. i think audiences are moving on in their tastes. —— everything has its time.

it was interesting and experiments, now it is a loss of wannabes. but people from different walks of life as it was then. they are taking a back to basics for the show tonight. no one is an ex— reality star, which gives me hope. i think another channel will take it on. they have been granted an extra three years for planning permission for the big brother house. why would you go for three years if you don't have another channel interested? maybe it isa another channel interested? maybe it is a visitor attraction of something. my heart. big brother and the stories that happened in the house may news a lot of the time. do you think those controversies have more controversial and is too controversial for the audience is? —— made in use. i think it is a bit contrived out. everyone who goes in knows what they are going in for, which is either fame, knows what they are going in for, which is eitherfame, notoriety, money, they go in with an agenda. back then it was more organic. the

headlines were organic as a result. now it is a bit sort of plastic and contrived. it is hilarious if you think about early days, nasty nik being the huge controversy because every vote. that would be so tame now. certainly for channel five this is getting too controversial. they are trying to change their brands, they have michael palin doing programmes for them. they don't really wa nt programmes for them. they don't really want to be associated with things that are more sleazy now. that is what big brother has become. certainly for them it is over. i would have thought that as it for the show in general. i refuse to believe. i am a staunch advocate.” won't have it. that was emma bullimore and aisleyne horgan—wallace. now it's time for the weather with sarah keith—lucas. weather forecasters have been keeping a close eye on typhoons and hurricanes in the pacific and atla ntic hurricanes in the pacific and atlantic in recent days. in recent days our weather is quite during the course of the weekend. we are likely to see the an ex— hurricane

pretty blustery day. we have quite a deep area of low pressure to the north—west of the uk. another weather front tries to move across through wednesday. that could bring us some through wednesday. that could bring us some fairly persistent and heavy rain during wednesday across northern ireland, scotland, possibly further south into northern parts of england as well. the south—east looks to be staying mostly dry and settle. there will be some uncertainty about the detail of the rain at this stage. we have that cold front initially through the middle part of next week. once that fades away, a kink in the jet stream drives weather systems through. later next week, the jet stream changes position, a region starts to build in and that will change things, allowing some warmer air through —— a ridge. high pressure will build across much of the country. high pressure later next week. heavy showers low pressure down to the south. that could move further north into parts of the uk.

through of next week things will be warming up after that very wet and windy start. it will turn it drier and brighter late in the. goodbye. —— late in the week. hello, this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. four people have died as storm florence hits the us east coast, knocking out power to 600,000 homes and causing buildings to crumble. there are also warnings of serious destruction in the philippines. more than a million people are directly in the path of typhoon mangkhut, which has 160—mile—an—hour winds and torrential rains. donald trump's former campaign chairman, paul manafort, has made a deal to plead guilty to two criminal charges and avoid a second trial.
