you know what i've only said what i thought of what they're doing fronted. this is news live from berlin two powerful storms on opposite side of the world put millions in the path of danger in the united states hurricane florence began clashing because coast a slow moving storm poses a lethal threat pounding the region with rain and storm surges and the super typhoon roars towards the northern philip ball short. boards from nigeria where the

number of people living on less than two dollars a day is on the rise. plus he wanted to help his family flee the war in syria w goes to the hungarian prison where ahmed is now serving seven years on terrorism charges. thanks for joining us hi mary and i haven't seen. the outer edges of hurricane florence have reached the u.s. east coast lashing coastal towns in the states of north and south carolina with strong winds and heavy rain the hulking storm has weakened to a category one hurricane with maximum sustained winds of one hundred fifty kilometers per hour but it's florence's size that has forecasters worried as it pushes slowly inland more than six hundred kilometers across that could linger for

days and about a meter of rain on vast areas. and with the storm yet to even make landfall the region is already seeing signs of the flooding promise to come. the north carolina coastline was first to feel the impact of hurricane florence. asked the storm placed in its leading edge sent seawater through residential areas . tens of thousands i will ready without power we both parties predicting lethal conditions to come the worst of the storm is not yet here but these are the early warning of the days to cope. surviving this storm will be a test during teamwork comments. some one point seven million people have been warned to evacuate in north and south

carolina and virginia authorities are remaining residents not to be food by news that winds was slowing as the storm approached land its huge size and slow pace mean potentially days of torrential rain ahead. the biggest concern right now is the risk of flooding because florence is a huge storm and it's slowing down and it's expected to stall as soon as it really properly hits land hits the u.s. coast meaning that it will dump its entire weight of water. and the response teams are bracing for a deadly storm surges and catastrophic flooding. some ten million people every in florence's path. well a major storm is also imminent in the philippines evacuations are under way ahead of super typhoon monk route which is set to make landfall on saturday the philippines weather bureau says the storm is nine hundred kilometers wide and it's

packing maximum sustained winds of well over two hundred kilometers per hour more than four million people live in its path. this satellite image leaves no room for doubt the super typhoon is packing a punch and it's heading straight for the northern philippines. coote typhoon looks set to be the most powerful of this year's pacific storm season if its path doesn't change it will make landfall in the northeastern province of. wealth already use of a huge storm warnings across dozens of provinces in the north of the philippines more than four million people live in regions at risk from the storm some eight hundred thousand have been evacuated from their homes in areas most likely to be hit by heavy rains and winds of up to two hundred fifty kilometers an hour that i'm scared i think it is they said this is a very powerful typhoon more powerful than the recent monsoon rains that's why we're frightened. about that. guy and province is

a major rice and corn producing region and harvest season is just about to begin so typhoon man could could hardly have come at a worse time. let's get the latest now from the philippines and for that we're joined on the line by journalist anna santos who's at our weather station in tucson city which is not far from the philippine capital manila anna thanks for joining us so tell us first what you've been hearing from the experts tracking typhoon mungo. why it's really all hands on deck here weather bureau and other government agencies in the country as we are expecting to like you guys arrives tomorrow morning making landfall as saturday morning september sixteenth now so the weather experts are most concerned about the diameter of the storm damaged but nine hundred kilometers wide and that means that there's about four to five million people fall within the

path of the storm and you but that's what this is very aggressive day there were massive evacuations in various coastal towns in the northern part of the philippines there's an estimated more than eight hundred thousand people that are there to get back weighted in their homes as a preemptive taking measure. well we've also been seeing pictures of people preparing for the storm we can see them right now they're covering their windows reappropriate forcing their homes but is this going to be enough especially for coastal structures so what will happen to the homes and businesses when there are wind and rain hit. i was just talking to the weather experts about that earlier we are expecting surges of six meters of that's about it was a two story building and at the same with a lot more than two hundred kilometers per hour for a light structures that you know that are made of for example or the typical coastal homes which we do that i really don't like. to bring total destruction

kind of home. as it is the vehicle so committed to have been evacuated already there for. changes. all right will despise a warning to. evacuees we've seen in the past residents of coastal communities around the world underestimating the potential power of big storms are people in the north of the philippines taking all these storm warning seriously. well there will be others and we've seen on the record that there are a number of residents will say you know where you sit there with those as battered by an average of. anywhere and we live in one of the month disaster prone areas in the world some of them are saying that we are always so they thought. it was at the time to go or want to ever make a lot of on the record. removing her from the trauma. that killed by the people and so i think that you know we are really taking this. morning to. all government

. the department of agriculture the national. civil defense the weather. and preparing for the worst hoping for the bad. santo's reporting from his own city in the philippines many thanks indeed. well now to some of the other stories making news around the world u.s. president donald trump has disputed puerto rico's new official death toll from last september's hurricanes trump tweeted that democrats inflated the number to make him look bad last month authorities there raise the toll from sixty five to nearly three thousand based on a computer analysis of the death rate after the storms. an eighteen year old man has been killed by falling debris amid a series of gas explosions in the u.s. state of massachusetts dozens of blazes broke out in several towns north of boston

injuring at least ten other people hundreds were evacuated from their homes investigators suspect an over pressurized pipeline was to blame. thousands of students at mexico city's prestigious national thomas university have marched to protest against violence that against them earlier this month a criminal gang attack to the students on campus thursday of demonstration also marked the anniversary of a famous student march in one nine hundred sixty eight. you're watching t.v. news still to come he says he was helping his family flee the war in syria and then pounded this man end up in hungary prison we'll have that story coming up later in the program. now three years ago world leaders made a covenant meant to eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere by twenty

thirty but a new report just published by the overseas development institute warns that despite this pledge four hundred million people will still be living below that target person is considered to be in extreme poverty if he or she lives on less than one u.s. dollar in ninety cents a day extreme poverty totals have declined globally from eight hundred million five years ago to an estimated six hundred ten million today but africa is going against that trend with two thirds of the total number of people living in extreme poverty . we'll talk to the lead author of that report in just a moment but first the funny five chars in nigeria an oil rich country with one of the worst records on poverty. a lot of poverty we are passing by people who live in inhumane surroundings me to whom family they were evicted from their heart just like pence of thousands of others in recent years in lagos scal

a father of five was already poor before the election but he says at least he had a life a hood. now we don't have a now no real house no boat fishing no business during the day we can stay here to prepare one meal but at night we have to sleep outside in the rain this is something no human being should experience. today smeal tomato soup and this part of a must few to several families in the neighborhood. this is just one family an estimated eighty seven million people that's roughly half of nigeria's population are thought to be living on less than one dollar ninety cents per day nigeria has overtaken india as the country with the largest number of people living in extreme poverty. but. these young

men and women are newly minted volunteers in their slums they are being trained how to let others know what kinds of prized a half before they are evicted the ultimate goal is to stop extreme poverty from spreading i want to change the poverty level in my community and to provide sea level not our communities that means knowing how to mobilize other people so that lawmakers do their job and solve the deteriorating situation in. magen chapman founded the justice and empowerment initiative five years ago she said eviction creates more extreme poverty unfortunately the government is not working with those people hand in hand to eradicate poverty and help them to find a solution to their situation instead the government is putting in place policies that. actually criminalize the livelihoods of the urban poor and demolish and destroy their homes the government wants to turn waterfront slums into attractive property they must be shut down because

a breeding ground for crime and harmful to the environment but for her for flaig on the brink of extreme poverty the slums are for better or for worse they're home and joining us now for more is marcus mann well he's a senior research associate of the overseas development institute in london and he was the lead author and researcher for that report on global poverty mr mann all thanks for being on our program so there is some good news in the last twenty five years the rate of extreme poverty has fallen by half and yet there's still eight hundred million people living in extreme poverty today so what are we doing wrong. well i think the things we're doing right clearly economic growth is coming and it's driving down poverty in many places but i think what we're doing is two things are wrong first we're not focusing the assistance that we give these countries to the countries that need it the most. and secondly all countries need to live up to

their u.n. targets or how much aid to provide. all right so let's talk about the countries that are most in need we mention a geria in our report what are some other countries and what's holding them back from tackling the poverty they face. so we're thinking really countries like malawi or countries like as well as countries like nigeria we know really how to tackle poverty now we know it's a matter of making sure that everyone can afford to get to health care so much are making sure every child gets to school and it must also making sure that the people that are most vulnerable the elderly around children those maybe living with disabilities they have the additional totally support that they need doing that in so many countries but nigeria is a very good example where there's just not happening at anything like the scale that needs to happen to eradicating stream poverty. and so what is it that's holding them back why are these programs not working. all the programs are working

but the scale of them is just not there so here goes a much larger program than say nigeria nigeria has for a little of this kind of targeted support the most vulnerable it also has real problems of people accessing health care on people accessing education so we know what the programs are it's a matter of making them affordable to the poorest and it's a matter of providing the network at the national scale that's needed coverage in nigeria particularly poor. all right man well from the overseas development institute in london thank you so much for speaking with us thank you. hope of escaping poverty and conflict has led millions of migrants from africa and the middle east to seek better fortunes elsewhere many have turned to europe which saw the peak of exodus and twenty fifteen many asylum seekers followed this route to north that year as they made their way to western europe but hungary took a hardline stance towards their build

a fence along the southern border and imprisoned many migrants who managed to cross it. when the w. has spoken to one man who says he tried to help his family reach germany only to end up in hungary in jail he asked us not to show his face on the n.s.c. for ports one of hungary's best known prisoners is waiting to meet me in this budapest prison. to the government he's a dangerous terrorist. others say he's a political prisoner. tells me he does not know why he's here and never understand what the homecoming best long going to be totaled just like this one was on what do you think of when you think of terrorism what does terrorism mean to you to those in who at least minimal make bomb kill people and. he has hatred for other people of early age on this is because he has he has to do something from paper to

what paid for the huff or who was. a syrian resident of cyprus was arrested while helping his aging parents and his brother's family fled to europe in two thousand and fifteen. they arrived at the hungary and border the day after it was closed. they were blocked along with hundreds of other refugees who lacked basic necessities. protests broke out. tried to translate between the police and the protesters and. the but i was. but when communication broke down he joined in throwing rocks. hofmann had planned to return to his family in cyprus but never made it home he was arrested and sentenced to seven years in prison. the court ruled that the intent to coerce police with violence is an act of

terror. within the context what that happened at the border but we do know that we . about what crime it constitutes throwing a couple of rocks. even if it's not the right thing to do in the security situation like this. is not. what covers terrorism in a statement to d.w. the spokesperson of the hungary and government defended the decision of the court there has been a campaign lasting over a year including the involvement of the international press to prove that ahmed age is an innocent man. hungary will continue to protect its borders will defend its christian culture and its right to reject immigration. med feels he is a victim of politics my friend who can imagine do you think i want to ask you one question you want americans and young america they do these. young men they do this

to me. it's from our meds wife gave me photos of their two daughters to bring to the prison with me. the last time i saw them they were four and six. they will be eleven and thirteen when he sees them again if his sentence is not reduced. all right some force news now and the bundesliga is that after the international break and friday's opening game is arguably the match of the weekend seventy five thousand fans will cheer on dortmund when they meet in german cup winners i'm tucked frankfurt. dortmund are still finding their footing hosting frankfurt offers an opportunity to improve on a mixed start to the season and stake a claim as title contenders coach lucien fov the knows it won't be easy dortmund dominated their last match against hanover but it ended scoreless frankfurt should prove a tougher test. because they lost the last one at home but were down to ten men for

sixty minutes against the blame and i saw that game it's tough to judge of ten men but it was a good game they're a good team they're very dangerous as five observed frankfurt weren't quite dangerous enough to earn a result in their last match with rayman stoppage time winner proving a heartbreaker. we'll hope they have regrouped in the international bridge. and don't want this to go there and just defend we need to try and play enough defensive game obviously after our own lucky result against better braman we want to pick up points it was no matter where we're playing. frankfurt are still adjusting after an off season full of change but we'll be aiming to put dortmund through the paces. all right monica is here now with the business news and this weekend marks the tenth anniversary of the bankruptcy of u.s.

investment bank lehman brothers can hardly believe it's been ten years monica bring out the cake i mean well of course that particular event sent shock waves around the world it's sent everyone from spanish property owners to american investors running for cover in the most immediate impact was felt by lehman brothers employees twenty five thousand told them found themselves out of work overnight the bank was a giant the fourth biggest investment bank in the world not too big to fail lehman had become so deeply involved in mortgage origination that it had effectively become a real estate hedge fund disguised as an investment bank washington wasn't willing to save the bank even brothers remains the largest bankruptcy filing in u.s. history. and my colleague last had to spend many many years in new york as d.w. wall street correspondent last tell us a little bit about that ominous day it was an interesting day because even though

times were already tense on wall street at the time that day itself of course was a shock remember of course those pictures of lehman brothers bankers carrying out their belongings in the morning so for them it was obviously a shock too but on wall street everything felt a little bit like you were part of a big family that financial community so these were people you could relate to the . they lost their jobs thousands of them so of course that was painful to watch but of course then later as the story developed and as we learned more details about what the banks did in those mortgage crisis how they pushed loans on people how the partially even committed fraud that changed the entire picture that changed the relationship we had as journalists to to the rest of the financial community and then at some point still some people who felt sorry for others maybe not so much now right now it's hard to of course you'll you'll stick around a bit longer for us to talk to thank you for now. it is now i'd like to catch

up with our man at the front for the stock exchange. and of course germany's banks they all got to feel the consequences of the lehman brothers collapse one bank however was especially in focus. yes monica the one bag that was most involved in the american way of doing banking was deutsche bank including of course the securitize ation of mortgages and the trading of such very complicated and in transparent commercial paper. the irony of the tragedy for deutsche bank at the time of the lehman collapse was that at first it looked like the bank would be able to go through this ok joseph mcnamara the man who was the c.e.o. at deutsche at the time nor did himself and the bank that the risk management systems had worked ok but it turned out in the years that followed that

wrongdoing involvement into risky business and misconduct at deutsche in the run up of the lehman collapse had been so extreme that deutsche bank ended up paying seventeen billion dollars in fines and settlements in the u.s. the bank that had joined the party late had to learn the hard way that the party had been a bad one and been a bad one and is still reeling from it of course and now there are reports amongst others in in the wall street journal that china's sovereign wealth fund is interested in buying a stake in torture just very briefly what's that about. well the story is that age and a the large chinese conglomerate owns seven point six percent in the bank shares is forced in china to reduce the risk in its balance sheet and that's why there are those reports that chinese financial conglomerates state ones state over. ones have

contacted and h. and i in order to be able to take over that large share back all right so another interesting chapter they're opening frankfurt think is the. the c.e.o. of amazon jeff bezos i'm just live mccance the basis of launched a two billion dollar fund for charity it will help homeless families and create a network of kindergartens in the no income communities bezos is among the world's richest people his net worth has risen by more than sixty billion dollars this year alone but the founder of amazon faces criticism many feel that his company exploits its workers and pays them poorly bezos has now joined the list of wealthy individuals contributing huge amounts of money to charity. talks between french fishermen and the british rivals for a new deal on access to scale low bridge water in the english channel of broke down

last month friendships confronted english boats the french were upset about rules allowing english boats to fish in their waters year round while their boats were forced to stay home and now it looks like scenes like these could soon return to the high seas. a spat over seafood boiled over last month as french fishing boats blocked their u.k. colleagues from dropping their nets. currently both bone from the u.k. are allowed to harvest scallops year round while their french counterparts are banned from fishing in the summer leaving a bad taste in many a sailor's mouth. if you have played a. lot these scallops shelled them and sold them back to us. but it's ok after the break they will come back. and without a deal in the so-called scallop war there's likely to be rough waters ahead. it was
