this is t w news coming to you live from berlin a fresh blow to u.s. president donald trump says his former campaign manager paul metaphor agrees to cooperate with special counsel robert rusher probe as part of the deal on a fourth has pleaded guilty to two criminal counts to avoid a second trial that was due to begin next week we'll get the latest from washington . also on the program powerful storms office at sides of the world put millions in the path of danger the first hurricane florence is making it landfall in the u.s.

east coast the storm poses a lethal threat pounding the region with rain and storm surges the second super typhoon is roaring towards the northern philippines authorities are about the waiting for more people amid warnings of major destruction. plus a global push to eradicate extreme poverty fall short d.w. reports from nigeria where the number of people living on less than two dollars a day is on the run as. well i'm terry martin good to have you with us. now to be we begin with some breaking news u.s. president donald trump's former campaign chairman paul metaphor has pleaded guilty to two criminal counts as part of a deal to cooperate with special counsel robert muller is investigating possible collusion. between traumas presidential campaign and russia

a metaphor has admitted one charge of conspiracy against the united states and one of conspiracy to obstruct justice last month he was convicted in a virginia court on bank and tax fraud charges and he was due to go on trial a second time on related charges but today's deal means most of those charges have been dropped. or for the very latest now let's cross over to washington where our correspondent standing by for us hike i understand the hearing with paul metaphor has just taken place what happened. so this time around he pleaded guilty and yes he has agreed to cooperate with the government that is the stunning news of the day that is something president trump was hoping wouldn't happen if you follow his tweets and believe and so this is

a big development although the question remains what does he know about donald trump and the investigation that is going on by the special counsel robert miller about the involvement of the russian government russian interference in the u.s. election two thousand and sixteen of course paul manner for it was the campaign manager for about six months of the campaign and it was a particular important time because it was the time that he was nominated by the republican party to be the candidate of the republican party and we also know that paul man of ford was in charge as campaign manager when those secret meetings happened in trump tower with trump's son and other people regarding dirt as they called it as we have seen in the e-mails on hillary clinton coming from russian sources so it remains to be seen what exactly he does know about the

president's involvement and and the things that the special counsel is investigating we don't know that yet because we know the polenta for he claimed he was innocent in the previous trial no he's pleading guilty you mention cooperation what's behind the guilty plea how can poland afford expect to profit to benefit from this deal. so it's very interesting to see how his whole strategy has now changed from constantly claiming basically what president trump is saying this is been a witch they're coming to come they're coming after him they're picking him out to get to a. trump and he's been convicted on tax fraud on on all kinds of counts of money laundering on tax evasion on lying to the government which really does not have anything to do with the trump campaign so it could be that the prosecution is

hoping to get more information on who else might be involved in the money laundering in the tax evasion and not so much about what donald trump did in may be against the law so that is the thing that we don't know yet but the change of mood obviously from the tall man of ford is the fact that he's already been convicted on eight counts in a virginia court and is facing up to ten years in prison now if you're sixty nine years old then ten years is a long time and to reduce anything or getting new sentences of course does matter to him now ok so possibly could reduce any sentencing that he might be facing tows this is the big question of course is this development dangerous for president . so we don't know that yet because the mall investigation is very secretive we don't know what exactly they know and what they have against the trump people but what we do know is that the narrative coming from

the white house is always the same sandor huckabee sanders the press secretary for the president tweeted out that this has nothing to do with the president and with his successful campaign to become the president of the united states that has been their narrative and they're continuing on with it we know that president trump has canceled meeting that he had at the white house and is watching the breaking news about this case we also know that in the past he has tweeted about his friend paul man a for calling him a very respectful man calling him a brave man even even though he was convicted by enemy by president trump if he would not cooperate with the government now that he is cooperating i'm sure the president is very furious about this we'll see how he will tweak pretty soon ok thank you so much from the. lansky there in washington.

and staying in the u.s. hurricane florence has made landfall on the east coast battering the states of north and south carolina the strong winds and heavy rains the storm is moving slowly and is expected to dump rain on the coast for hours hundreds of thousands of people lost power storm surges are expected and rescue crews are scrambling to save scores of people who've ignored about you ation orders. because maya schrader is on the ground porous in elizabeth city on the north carolina coast and joins us now well first of all what's the situation there right now. well as you can see we're being battered by very strong winds terry but the winds are really not the big concern here at least not the biggest concern the biggest concern is going to be the rain but we're in an area of the state that has not seen its share of rain yet that is mostly happened further south of us in north carolina and in parts of south carolina where according to one

reuters estimate they're expecting about eight months worth of rain and about one to maybe three days they've already been reports of around two hundred people having to be rescued out of housing cars that were flooded and as you said hundreds of thousands of people without power now up here in the northern part of the state things are a little bit calmer there are people who are sort of walking around in defiance of the hurricane some shops that are boarded up but still open and people simply just trying to go about their day as if this hurricane weren't happening but over a million people were asked to leave their homes understand some of them refused to go or are people still risk there who should have left. there's definitely been a big sense of defiance over whether or not people should evacuate we were in an area yesterday of virginia that was attending a mandatory evacuation zone and there were still plenty of people out on the beach

walking their dogs in gale force winds against the atlantic there and of course a mandatory evacuation isn't something that's really enforceable this is something that a local government official said to us you know even though there's evacuation they can't make people go there are a lot of people who simply can't leave if they're elderly if they're just able they don't have the get up and go to be able to get out and get to a shelter though a lot of people can't afford to leave if there's a shelter that isn't in their area they can't afford to spend a night tonight three nights they don't know how many nights in a hotel and then of course there's a question of undocumented persons in this area who are afraid to go to an area that's. facility that's run by a government and potentially have to face government agents who may identify them as undocumented ok i understand that the storm continues to pose a threat to the information we continue to receive what are authorities expecting in the hours to come. the outlook is definitely much more rain

we're looking at at least another day if not two of florence just pummeling the coast here with the rain because of course she is a very big storm but she's very slow and she really came to a halt when she finally made landfall here and the coast is just going to get all of this rain for the next couple of days were all but the big story is going to be is the number of people who have lost power the number right now is about five hundred thousand people in north and south carolina who are without power now and it's going to be how soon they get their power restored after the rain how many people and where exactly they are and how they can be reached but i thank you so much steve waiter there reporting from elizabeth city on the coast of north carolina. on the other side of the world a super typhoon is barreling towards the northeastern philippines packing winds of well over two hundred kilometers an hour more than five million people are risk from the storm massive evacuations are underway. preparations for the

arrival of typhoon man qute a storm with winds as powerful as a category five hurricane thousands have been evacuated with many ferring what this storm will bring. i'm scared i think this is a very powerful time from the more powerful in the recent months when my house that's why we're frightened. the typhoon is expected to make landfall here in the province of on saturday this region is considered the country's breadbasket. authorities have. to bring in their rice and corn harvest. the crops will be destroyed. some five million people live in areas at risk of being hit by typhoon man coote and this storm is picking up speed as it approaches.

three years ago world leaders committed to eradicating what they called extreme poverty for all people everywhere by twenty thirty well a new report from the overseas development institute is warning that despite this pledge four hundred million people will still be living in extreme poverty in twenty three well you're considered to be in extreme poverty if you live on less than one dollar ninety cents a day extreme poverty that years have declined globally from eight hundred million five years ago to around six hundred million today but poverty is on the rise in africa the continent is already hardest hit now africans account for about two thirds of the total number of people living in extreme poverty. traveled to nigeria the country with the world's largest number of extremely poor people. a lot of poverty we are passing by people who live in inhumane surroundings need to

tour seen one family they were evicted from their heart just like pence of thousands of others in recent years in lagos bus col a father of five was already poor before the eviction but he says at least he had a livelihood. now we don't have a no 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 and this is something no human being should experience. today smeal tomato soup and this part of our must future 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. these young men and women are newly minted volunteers in their slums they are being trained how to let others know what kinds of fries they 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 in order communities that means knowing how to mobilize other people so that lawmakers do their job and solve the deteriorating situation in slums 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 the. actually criminalized the livelihoods of the urban poor and demolished and

destroyed their homes the government wants to turn waterfront slums into attractive property it says they must be shut down because a breeding ground for crime and home full to the environment but for her to flake its residents on the brink of extreme poverty the slums for better. their home. well joining us now for more on this is marcus manual he's a senior research associate with the overseas development institute in london and he was the lead author of that report on global poverty manal thanks for being with us on the news now extreme poverty is falling worldwide we understand except in africa we've just seen the example of nigeria what's going wrong in africa thank you you're right extreme poverty is hard at last twenty five years globally and it is coming down in some african countries but it's also going up in nigeria report just showed what devastation extreme polish he means to people but i want to

also you know offer another glimpse which is that in ethiopia now you very poor country for that's managed to see policy home of the last twenty five years so it is possible to end extreme poverty now there are over fifty countries in africa which ones are struggling the most with poverty we know nigeria is an example and what are the main barriers holding back their development. thank you well that the countries i think are the worst off a countries like malawi or places like the central african republic i think those are the ones that are struggling the most but the reasons are very similar in in many countries first of all it's a matter of getting the economic growth going and where you've got rapid economic growth and reduces poverty and then it's a question of what governments do if governments can get children to school if they can deliver affordable health care and if they can if i told support to the poorest that's what really makes a difference and frankly the difference in nigeria in ethiopia is simple nigeria

doesn't have a system to targeted support the poorest ethiopia does and when you do that and to scale that makes all the difference in terms of reducing extreme poverty so would you say then that these poverty stricken countries in africa looking at that example now are capable of raising their living standards using their own resources as ethiopia that. well they need both and what our approach shows is that some countries can't afford to do it by themselves and ethiopia is one of the meteor of a kind of basically a forward about half the course needed to end extreme poverty and the poverty reduction it's seen over the last twenty five years has been partly because donors have been helping support programs for schools programs hospitals but also programs vice support for the most vulnerable put that together then you did you can make it work but it's going to need both sides governments need to provide what they can and donors need to provide to make up in a shared many countries can fully afford to do this themselves in most african countries and in the moment they can't and the question is whether we can target

the money sensible enough to actually to the countries that need it the most and that's the other part of our report because frankly we're not ok so there's a mix of factors that are needed in order to overcome the poverty in recent years we've seen some progress but. i'm afraid we've lost mr emanuel just there was a drop drop below last line too but thank you anyway if you're still listening that was marcus manual senior research associate with the overseas development institute in london and still a tiny little picture of him there. perhaps he could see us but we couldn't hear him unfortunately for anyway ben is here and he's going to tell us about russia's central bank taking a rather bold step exactly terry the russian central bank has raised the country's key interest rate by twenty five basis points to seven and a half percent the move comes despite pressure from prime minister dmitri medvedev called on the banks to lower rates to keep cash flowing to business and individual

lenders but central bank heads ignored the appeal arguing that preventing rising inflation took priority russia has been grappling with higher prices for food and basic goods as the ruble has fallen this marks the first interest rate hike since twenty fourteen and more could be in the pipeline. yesterday turkey's central bank hiked its key rate to a record twenty four percent and it was against the express wishes of president richard time to pedal on the central bank's move immediately hold to the lyrics dramatic slide this year and sent it climbing again but only for a day at once and not happy and today they were slipped again. thirty two one on home turf addressing members of his a k p justice and development party he made it clear how he feels about turkey's central bank going its own way. well you bank yesterday the central bank raised its interest rates very sharply.

old sure. looks of independence you're well well here you go have your independence and i will see the results of this i'm a patient person but my patience has limits. those words initially sent the lira down slightly by their zero point four percent reflecting concerns of an f.t.l. ation in this spot between the turkish president and the country's central bank. but to compare the lira rose five percent against the dollar on thursday following the central bank finance meant that it was raising interest rates on september fifteenth two thousand and eight u.s. investment bank lehman brothers followed for bankruptcy even sent everyone from american investors to spanish property owners running for cover twenty five thousand lehman brothers bankers found themselves out of work overnight and then

there was a giant but not too big to fail lehman had become so involved in mortgage origination that it was basically a real estate hedge fund disguised as an investment bank washington wasn't willing to save the financial institution although it did say violence. and it was the defined a generation and one of germany's most iconic brands but now the vulnerable v.w. beetles time is coming to an it for exotic has announced it will finally hold all production of the beetle in twenty nineteen bringing an end to the cause seventy year history. a full wheeled legend it's the biggest selling car of its time with twenty two million units sold its thirty horsepower engine was the sound of germany's post-war economic boom. but it all started back in the one nine hundred thirty s. commissioned by the nazis ferdinand portia designed a cheap economical folks of all peoples cars in one nine hundred thirty eight the

first model was ready though it mainly saw military service during the war but when the fighting finally stopped the v.w. beetle was back. the car sold rapidly around the world the beetle was an immediate hit in the u.s. even making it to hollywood and it broke the record after record in one nine hundred fifty five the one millionth beatle rolled off the belt involves resilience was its middle name. runs and runs and runs and it did until the love affair was over in the one nine hundred sixty s. the darling of v.w. lost its sex appeal critics complained about its boring design and high running costs ten and a half liters to one hundred kilometers. things looked bad for v.w. in fact the person asked and goes models only just saved it from the brink then in one thousand nine hundred seventy eight that was it the end of german production

fans had to import them from abroad c.w. continued to run its plant in mexico and in one thousand nine hundred one the factory sold v.w. used twenty millions beetle in two thousand and three though that was it the end. but in one thousand nine hundred nine a revival had happened in the u.s. the new beetle a jubilant first year was followed by flock to sales figures the beetle clone was strictly a collector's item its role as the people's car what in the past but now the new beetle itself is set to become a thing of the past v.w. is stopping production in july two thousand and nineteen. business for you next hour first migrants heading for europe are facing more obstacles and have a tear that's right ben it's getting more and more difficult for sure the hope of escaping poverty and conflict has led millions of migrants from africa in the middle east to seek better lives elsewhere and many of them are turning to europe which saw the peak of that existence twenty fifteen asylum seekers followed this

route north that year as they made their way to western europe this led authorities in hungary to build a fence along its southern border and to jail migrants who managed to cross it. has been speaking with one man who says he was trying to help his family reach germany but ended up in hungary in jail he's just not to show his face amy an s if reports 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. ahmed tells me he does not know why he's here and never. come back strong. with what do you think of when you think of terrorism what does terrorism mean to you to listen who. won't kill people.

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 and that we do nothing 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 after med feels he is a victim of politics. my friend who can my doing these think i want to ask you one
