amount of court has pleaded guilty to two criminal counts get the latest from washington. plus a global push to eradicate extreme poverty all short the reports from nigeria but the number of people living on less than two dollars a day is on the wrong. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us hurricane florence has made landfall on the east coast of the united states battering the carolinas with strong winds and heavy rain the storm is moving slowly and is expected to dump rain on the coast for hours hundreds of thousands of people have lost power storm surges are being reported and rescue crews are scrambling to save scores of people who big nord evacuation orders.

you know because maya schrader is on the ground poorest in elizabeth city on the north carolina coast and joins us now why first of all what's the situation there right now. but 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 have been 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 there's already been reports of around two hundred people having to be rescued out of how is is in 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 over a million people were asked to leave their homes understand some of them refused to go or are people still at 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 technically 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. so 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 the 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 so that's 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 to florence just pummeling the coast here with the rain because of course she is a very big storm but she's very slow it 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 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 as my ass waiter there reporting from elizabeth city on the coast of north carolina. meanwhile 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 or 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 fairing what the storm will bring. that i'm scared i think this is

a very high powered high from not more powerful than the recent announcement on the us that's why we're frightened. the typhoon is expected to make landfall here in the province of ca guyin 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 the storm is picking up speed as it approaches. u.s. president donald trump's former campaign cheap paul metaphor has pleaded guilty to two criminal court. as part of a deal with special counsel robert muller well as investigating possible collusion between trump's special presidential campaign and russia but

a fourth has admitted to charges one of conspiracy against the united states and another of conspiracy to obstruct justice bust months he was convicted of bank and tax fraud and was due to go on trial a second time on other charges but today's deal means most of those charges have been dropped. well a short while ago i spoke with the hikers slansky who's tracking this story for us in washington d.c. where paul meant of course court hearing has just ended. 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 them 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 don 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. just like the slansky there in washington now moving on to some other stories making headlines around the world today
