for metres storm surge. businesses have been battening down the hatches. evacuation orders have been issued more than 300,000 people. and it has been a case of pack up and get out. you will make it there is just the adults would have rooted out, long traffic jams just the adults would have rooted out, long trafficjams formed, fuel is running low and supermarket shelves are emptying. the last thing we re shelves are emptying. the last thing were picking up with extra water. busy holiday resorts were deserted and authorities are warning if you have not left coastal areas, it is too late. if you're in a coastal area, do not leave your house. the time to evacuate coastal areas as commandant. some they'll have already decided to stay put. immediate has things going a little

what you know about what's going on. we're starting to feel the real force of michael. and a little bit on the coast, where i am talking to you from, it is pretty potent here as well. wind speeds not here immediately, but along the coast of the 150 miles an hour. the rain is actually stopped a little bit that may be just because we are past their hurricane or most of the water is not. but it may come back a little bit later. but we do know is that the emergency services are telling people to stay inside at the moment, because they can't get to them until the storm has gone. donald trump is in speaking for the past two days, used going to visit

the area press on sunday or monday and we also know that the emergency services, special emergency people, they have various teams plotting around for when michael has moved over the panhandle, so they can move infor over the panhandle, so they can move in for the search and rescue. they got tonnes of things like water and food and blankets in strategic places in case people have lost their homes or had damage to their homes need supplies. a place where people can go to for shelter. gary, we're seeing the national hurricane centre has put out a warning of a threatening storm surge and catastrophic winds, even for an area that's had its fair share of very serious storms, it really does sound like this one is of a whole new calibre. he storm surge is really worrying, it is with the hurricane,

it rotates clockwise and to the right—hand side of the hurricane, it is pushing water from the gulf of mexico, onto the land, that is what it's going to be doing. and the gulf of mexico is pretty shallow, if the continental shelf, pretty much 30 to 50 feet shallow, but quite a long way off. think makes it easy for the wind to push large amount of water onto the coast and this is really low—lying coast, carol. this is not much above sea level at all. some of it is sparsely populated, that is something a blessing, there are areas with small villages in scattered communities and they could suffer some real problems with that water as it does on land and gaddis and sits there. that is the big problem with the water and as you say, when you get when of this kind of magnitude, one of 240 or 150 mile magnitude, —— 140. it causes absolute devastation. you've got flying debris, great chunks of

material and concrete in trees downed power lines down, we are reducing that around here. powers out where we are at the moment. it is taking its effect and it is not just going to be florida, the storm is due to move up in the southwest georgia and the coming hours, and then up in the carolinas well. so those dates are on standby as well. incubate much indeed for talking to us incubate much indeed for talking to us live from panama city beach and do take good care in those very severe conditions. well, let's speak now to iain mchenry, originally from belfast, who's been living in tallahassee in florida for a just year with his american wife. hejoins me live on the phone from there. systems which are experiencing that. what they're picking up now, the

storm moves away from the coast it heads towards tallahassee, we've been told to brace ourselves for winds of up to 155 miles an hour. tallahassee is a very wooded area, the city is within forests and it is a big danger here, houses being damaged by the winds this trees falling down, stopping the emergency services from getting in doing an excellent job. services from getting in doing an excellentjob. throughout services from getting in doing an excellent job. throughout the services from getting in doing an excellentjob. throughout the day, we have been moving out of windows, the electricity is fluctuating and we are waiting for that to fail. and it's just a case of wait and see. we are waiting for that to fail. and it'sjust a case of wait and see. we are looking at some of the pictures of some of the destruction. trees being brought down and we are looking at the news agency saying that more than 162,000 homes and businesses in florida, georgia and alabama are without power or

electricity. did you consider leaving your home, did you consider evacuation? en, can you still hear us? well, unfortunately we seem to have lost the line to him. clearly, communication to that part of the world is very difficult indeed. we'll keep you updated throughout the evening. at least ten people have died after flash floods hit the spanish island of majorca. a british couple are believed to be among them. weather forecasters reported that more than 20 centimetres of rain fell in four hours. gavin lee reports from san yorence day—caldaz—arr. a sudden and deadly torrent of water. the worst flash flood ever to hit the holiday island of majorca. roads turned into ravines, cars picked up and swept

down flooded streets. eight inches of rain fell in just four hours last night. three times the usual amount for the whole of october. translation: everything is destroyed. destroyed. it's a tragedy what's happened here. ijust can't believe it. translation: it's a disaster. at the moment we're cut off and waiting for the emergency services to tell us what to do. a british couple are among the fatalities, apparently travelling by taxi when caught in the flood. there are also reports of a five—year—old child still missing. the foreign office has been in touch with the spanish authorities and says it is now supporting the families of the british victims. rescue teams began a thorough search at daybreak. every vehicle washed away is checked. spain's military has been drafted in to help. the area of sant llorenc, widely known as the location for itv‘s love island, has been declared a disaster area. this afternoon, spain's prime minister, pedro sanchez, arrived here and spoke

of his support for and solidarity with those affected. hundreds who live in sant llorenc were evacuated from their homes. many are sleeping in a nearby sports centre, their homes destroyed by the flood. it's going to take months for the town to recover. bbc news understands that the democratic unionist party's 10 westminster mps are planning to vote down the budget later this month — if the government agrees a brexit deal that they're not happy with. it's a move which, in theory, could bring down the government. the dup says it will reject any deal with brussels that includes proposals to treat northern ireland differently from the rest of the uk. our political editor laura kuenssberg reports. if the colours don't give you a headache,

the deal just might. welcome to the room where next week theresa may hopes a deal with the eu might be in reach. but could the compromise she's heading for mean she loses her place? northern irish mps are furious that brexit bartering is likely to include some extra checks on trades done between northern ireland and the rest of the uk. intolerable for the dup, whose votes the prime minister relies upon. we have been telling people about our red line. so what is important for us, is to say to her very clearly that any impediment on the two—way access in the uk's single market would not be good for the union, and would not be good for the economy of northern ireland. and that's notjust bluster. theresa may badly needs the dup, the northern irish party with ten mps, to win votes in the house of commons. and they are adamant that they just won't accept a brexit compromise that separates northern ireland from the rest of the uk in any way. if theresa may tries it, they might pull support from the government altogether. a tiny party, yes, but one with a very big voice.

the eu's negotiator was clear today. even though there wouldn't be an old—fashioned irish border, some checks carried out might have to increase tenfold. they would have to cover 100% rather than 10% of live animals and animal—derived products. i understand why such procedures are politically sensitive. brexit was not — was not — our choice. are you feeling optimistic about the deal, prime minister? with only days to go, the prime minister has little choice but to stick to her course, whatever the noise. knowing in brussels, belfast and at her back, there are plenty who would pull her plan down. when we come back with a deal, i would hope that everybody across this whole house will put the national interest first. the british people, having voted to leave, it is our duty to

ensure that we leave. tomorrow, the most senior cabinet ministers are being called into number ten. the decisions being taken right now will dictate not just what happens at this address, but at all of ours. and we'll find out how this story, and many others, are covered in tomorrow's front pages. at 10:40 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. our guestsjoining me tonight are michael heaver, who's the co—owner of the brexit supporting website, westmonster, and polly mackenzie, who's director of the left—leaning think—tank, demos. the headlines on bbc news. hurricane michael makes landfall in florida — the state's governor warns it could be the most destructive storm in a century. a british couple are among ten people who've been killed by severe flooding on the spanish island of majorca.

the democratic unionist party's 10 westminster mps plan to vote down the budget later this month, if theresa may crosses the party's red lines on brexit. sport now a full round up from the bbc sport centre. we start with cricket and the first one day international between england and sri lanka was abandoned in dambulla because of rain. england had reached 92—2 before a lengthy shower rendered the outfield unplayable. the next match in the five game series gets under way on saturday at the same ground, weather permitting. i think it is, i dedicatejob to start with, getting the grounds plenty of time. and have a raining,

it looked like the end of the world was coming. in it when you're playing 20 over, reduced game, which is high impact. a lot of turning. players, safety, is paramount. meanwhile australia seem to be struggling without their three key players steve smith, cameron bancroft and david warner as they serve bans for ball tampering. for the second straight day they suffered a batting collapse which has put pakistan in the driver's seat to claim victory in the opening test. well earlier, my colleague olly foster asked former australia captain shane warne how he felt about the controversy that rocked the sport earlier this year. i was embarrassed. i have not sure how it looks to the stage and eight match for you see you're going to ta ke match for you see you're going to take sandpaper out important on the ball. it was terrible and it was very embarrassing and disappointing. i stand to gain the respect back of

the cricket community and gain their respect back of the australian public especially in that the only way they can do that is how they conduct themselves in a hope that it is hard tough, but fair. the four—time olympic gymnastics champion simone biles says she felt empowered about comig forward as a victim in one of the the biggest sex abuse scandal to hit american sport. larry nassar the us gymnastics coach was sentenced to 170 years in prison for sexually abusing girls and young women. in january, biles put out a statement saying she was one of his victims. she's been speaking to the bbc. i think ithinka i think a lot of people struggle with coming out and telling their stories. but i figured, if i can tell mice glory, it might incur —— my story. it can be strong enough, hopefully i can do. i was kind of

relieved. it was a lot of pressure off my shoulders to keep something in like that for so long whenever we usually share everything with our friends, ourfamily usually share everything with our friends, our family and usually share everything with our friends, ourfamily and ourfans. it was a lot. documents concerning rape allegations made against cristiano ronaldo have been completely fabricated, according to the player's lawyer. ronaldo denies assaulting kathryn mayorga at a las vegas hotel in 2009. mayorga says she was attacked by the portuguese footballer. a statement from ronaldo's lawyer reiterated the juventus forward "vehemently denies all accusations in this civil action". gareth bale is out of wales' friendly with spain tomorrow night. the real madrid forward was withdrawn early in saturday's loss with alaves. manager ryan giggs confirmed he wont feature tomorrow and remains a doubt for their nations league match with the republic of ireland in six days' time. he will however be on the pitch before the spain game to receive a golden boot for the record 30 goals he's scored for his country. yeah, he's probably 50—50 at the

moment. we do not want to take any risks, but he is able to play, then good. but if he is not, then so be it. we will be prepared for both scenarios, but my mind is on spain at the moment. and after spain, we will concentrate on that. that's all the sport for now. i'll have more for you in sportsday at 10.30. the uk's highest court has ruled that a bakery‘s refusal to make a cake with a slogan supporting same sex marriage was not discriminatory. the christian owners of asher‘s bakery have welcomed the supreme court ruling — they'd been sued by gareth lee, the customer who'd initially requested the cake. emma vardy reports. it's four years since gay rights activist gareth lee walked into this belfast bakery to place an order. his purchase of a cake became a bitter legal right over the extent to which businesses can refuse

to promote certain views. the cake was to be iced with the message "support gay marriage". today, the supreme court ruled that the bakery‘s refusal to take that order did not amount to discrimination. this court has held that nobody should be forced or have or express a political opinion in which he does not believe. the bakery‘s owners had previously been sued for discrimination. today's decision by the uk's highest court to overturn previous rulings marks a hard—fought vindication of their views. we did not turn down this order because of the person who made it but because of the message itself. the judges have given a clear signal today. in fact, it couldn't be clearer. family businesses like ours are free to focus on giving all their customers the best service they can without being forced to promote other people's campaigns.

gareth lee spoke of his disappointment at the turnaround. i paid my money. my money was taken and then a few days later it was refused, based upon the beliefs of the business owners. that made me feel like a second—class citizen and the judgment today tells me that that's ok. northern ireland is the only part of the uk which has not introduced same—sex marriage. the so—called gay cake case has been watched closely in belfast, where there have been protests from those on both sides of this debate. i'm so glad today that ashers has won the case and that takes a lot... i'm sure it was a lot of pressure on them. i feel personally offended and i feel that the lgbt community would be offended also. the supreme courtjudges said that the conclusions reached today were not intended to diminish the need to protect people who are gay from discrimination, saying it would be an affront to human dignity to refuse

someone a service based on their sexual orientation. but that that was not what had happened in this case. instead, said the court, it was the bakery‘s right not to print a message with which they disagreed. and this could be a taste of things to come if other businesses wish to refuse to promote political views in future. theresa may has appointed england's first ever "minister for suicide prevention", as part of a package of measures aimed at reducing the number of people who take their own lives. the prime minister also pledged up to 1—point—8 million pounds to safeguard the mental health charity, samaritans. however, mental health charities say her plans don't go far enough. jackie doyle—price, who is already a junior health minister, will take on the additional role. joining me in the studio now is ben hawley, campaigns director at calm, the campaign against living miserably. thank you very much forjoining us

today. a whole series of announcements today to mark mental health day. do you welcome, for example, the appointment ofjackie as the minister of suicide prevention? yes, and we set out on this very announcement we campaigned backin this very announcement we campaigned back in march. to foster governmental support and really tried to push the nation in demonstrating the need for it and asked the government for a potential change which gathered 400,000 signatures, for bereavement support. given she was already a mental health minister, what difference is going to make? she is not going to be personally responsible for those

who do take their own lives?|j be personally responsible for those who do take their own lives? i think it isa who do take their own lives? i think it is a demonstration from the government that we can do a great deal and breaking the stigma, certainly we have learned from our campaign that we bring the issue to the floor. people reach out, we see a 60% increase to people reaching out to our service. and i think what he does is give people right now to give the position to seek support when they needed and we welcome that. and setting out back and i'm sure this is ultimately day one and a lot of work that is done, but since the clear message that we take this seriously and we welcome that and also we are focused on working with them to ensure results. and there have been some quite statistics, the number of people who are suffering from mental health, many of whom do have suicidal thoughts. what is the key change that you want to see to try and help

people in the situations which a wiping much wanted to be done across the board, not just wiping much wanted to be done across the board, notjust an government but that move today, is galvanised what's been done across education and across many different elements of society and really bring that together to learn from it because there is much we need to learn about there is much we need to learn about the subject, but also to look at what the impacts are. what is working what is now working in the figure head for developing that. focusing particularly on men, is there a particular issue there which is about and then perhaps being less ready to open up about their problems and to seek the help they need? absolutely. 70% of the suicide victims are male, and that is what it's been about for the past 14 yea rs it's been about for the past 14 years is to raise awareness and do something about it. so we aim to

promote and help seeking behaviour in men. and the stigma that surrounds suicide before reaching out is prevalent in men. only up to continue our work and push that cultural change to manage the crisis for men who only feel that dentists only option, whether that be through com samaritans, doctors or anywhere they can get support. thank you very much. a woman who spent sixteen million pounds in harrods over ten years has become the first target of a new uk anti—corruption order — designed to flush out suspected stolen money being laundered through the uk. zamira hajeeyeva, the wife of a former state banker in prison forfraud, has also lost a court battle to remain anonymous dominic casciani reports. a luxury london home worth an estimated £15 million, now

at the heart of a ground—breaking legal battle to reveal suspected corrupt foreign wealth hidden in the capital. today, the high court lifted an order protecting the owner's identity, saying the public should know about her incredible big—spending lifestyle. and this is the woman, zamira hajiyeva, the azerbaijan—born banker's wife now subject to the uk's first unexplained wealth order. her husband jahangir hajiyev, jailed for fraud and embezzlement — tens of millions of pounds disappeared from his state—controlled banks. the couple, described in court as mr and mrs a, must now account for their millions. armed with three harrods loyalty cards and 35 credit cards, mrs a went on a bit of a spending spree. the high court heard that over a decade she blew £16 million inside. she averaged £4,000 a day. one day, £150,000 went on jewellery. the next, £1,800 on wine. beyond the department store luxuries, she even bought a £30 million privatejet. if she can't explain her wealth,

the order means the national crime agency can seek to seize the house. we want to hear from her how she and her husband were able to afford to acquire significant high—value assets in the uk, and be able to spend money that does not seem to equate in any way with the identifiable sources of income that they had. the agency is also targeting this berkshire golf club she bought for more than £10 million. mrs hajiyeva denies wrongdoing, and she is seeking to appeal the order. but investigators say the new orders, soon to be targeted at russian wealth, will uncover dirty money laundered through british property. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas. good evening, it's been the hottest october day in seven years.

with temperatures over 24 celsius, things are about to turn more unsettled and cooler of the next few days. but for this evening and tonight, it is still very mild. quite humid in fact, some showery rain initially in the southwest. moving its way northwards, across most parts of the country at some point through the night. and thursday morning, some low clouds and mist, and also the odd rumble of thunder potentially on some of those heavy showers. they'll continue to work eastwards through scotland in eastern england and then we see the next batch of rain moving in from the west, so i think most barriers are going to see a little bit of showery rain on thursday. went to see things are turning breezier as well, the still mild 21 or 22 degrees in the southeast.
