little 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've ignored evacuation orders. has maya schwager is on the ground porous in elizabeth city on the north carolina coast and joins us now by a 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 has mostly happened further south of us in north carolina and in

parts of south carolina where according to one workers estimate they're expecting about eight months worth of rain in about one to maybe three days there's 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 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 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 first. 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 has 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 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. meanwhile on the other side of the world a super typhoon is slamming into 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 cargo on 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 chairman paul metaphors has pleaded guilty to two criminal counts as part of a deal to cooperate with special counsel robert muller while there is investigating possible collusion between tribes presidential campaign and russia metaphor his pleaded guilty to one charge of conspiracy against the united states and to one charge of conspiracy to obstruct justice last month he was convicted in a virginia court on bank and tax fraud charges and was due to go on trial a second time on related charges but today's deal means most of those charges have been dropped. three let's cross straight over to washington d.c. where our correspondent hiker's lansky is standing by hike a metaphor pleaded guilty in the hearing and will now cooperate with the justice department we understand this is quite a turnaround from the way he approached his previous trial isn't it. absolutely i

mean paul man of four of his campaign manager trumps campaign manager denied everything over the past few months has basically played into the narrative of president trump that this is all a witch hunt now trump has changed his narrative saying these are all things that he did in the past and have nothing to do with him and yet to believe that the campaign manager of a presidential campaign doesn't knows nothing that could maybe hurt president trump is really hard to phantom's so for paul man of fortune now plead guilty and to work with the government to cooperate with the muller investigation which is trying to find out whether there was any kind of involvement of the trump campaign intermingling with the russians in the u.s. election this could become really dangerous for the president although his statements through his press secretary clearly states this has nothing to do with the president and his campaign was successful for him to become president

so it's the same narrative on that front but it's it's getting ugly for the president with a minute so what does this go from here the poll that afford has entered this guilty plea to cooperate with the with the prosecutor investigator where where can we see this headed now. so we have to you know wait and see where this goes obviously the prosecution wants to know something from an afford otherwise why would they cut this deal he has are already been convicted of eight counts in a virginia are quiet and therefore he will be sentenced soon for this and depending on what he will share with the investigation and how truthful they feel he is being with them it will depend on further sentencing of four problematic for now mind you this man is sixty nine years old he's already got almost ten years looming over his

head so to him that is a long time and it's also his incentive to cooperate ok thank you so much. slansky there talking to us from washington d.c. . three years ago world leaders made a commitment 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 in the extreme poverty by two thousand and thirty a person is considered to be in extreme poverty if he or she lives on less than one dollar u.s. dollar ninety cents a day extreme poverty totals have declined globally from eight hundred million five years ago to an estimated six hundred million today but in africa poverty is on the rhine the continent is already hardest hit with africans accounting for about two

thirds of the total number of people living in extreme poverty. reports from nigeria the country with the world's highest rate of extreme poverty. a lot of poverty we are passing by people who live in inhumane surroundings need to thorsten who have family they were evicted from their heart just like tens 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 life a hood. now we don't have enough 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 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 have before the are evicted the ultimate goal is to stop extreme poverty from spreading i want to change the poverty level in my community and 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 slumps magen chapman founded the justice and empowerment initiative five years ago she says 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 act. city criminalize 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 or worse 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 thanks for being with us on d.w. 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 if you very poor country for that's managed to see policy hauled in the last twenty five years so it is possible to end extreme poverty well 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 that reduces poverty and there is a question of what governments do if governments can get children to school thing to live or affordable health care and if they can if i told you support 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 that 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 did. 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 media were going to basically afford about half the cost needed to end extreme poverty and the poverty reduction is seen over the last twenty five years has been partly because donors have been helping support programs for schools programs hospitals but also

programs vie support for the most vulnerable put that together then you you can make it work but it's going to need both sides governments need to provide what they can and then donors need to provide to make up in a shared many countries can fully afford to do this themselves in most african countries and push in the moment they can't and the question is whether we 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 otherwise marcus manual senior research associate with the overseas development institute in london . now to some of the other stories making news around the world today thousands of city mayors business leaders and climate activists have gathered in san francisco to promote efforts to reduce global warming the global climate action summit is organized by california governor jerry brown a leading critic of the trump administration's decision to withdraw from the paris climate change agreement that italian city of genoa is marking

a month since forty three people were killed when part of a motorway bridge collapsed at exactly eleven thirty six am the time of the collapse church bells and sirens sounded as residents paulist where they were officials hope to have a new bridge in place by the end of next year. residents of syria's last rebel held province of taking to the streets to protest against the assad regime syrian forces are expected to launch an offensive on it live with fears that it could become the last battle of the country's civil war the u.n. and world powers have warned that it lives three million residents face a humanitarian catastrophe if that is. germany's foreign minister is appealing to his russian counterpart to stop such a disaster from on folding in italy province berlin is hoping that moscow can use its influence as the syrian regime's main military backer to prevent the killing of civilians. a lot of fighting has already begun in the suburbs of the syrian city of

the rebels last stronghold three million people live here many are fleeing already they are afraid president assad's government troops will soon start a major military offensive as a son's protective agent russia plays a key role so german foreign minister heiko mas has this appeal to his russian counterpart especially at seaview this civilly and populations right to security must be guaranteed and home otherwise we run the risk of a humanitarian disaster all proposals for syria's future must guarantee the people of protection from state persecution reconstruction and the return of refugees and can only be considered if this fundamental goal is achieved. mr given this germany says it will only participate financially in syria's reconstruction if there are free elections after the end of the war russia is hoping for germany's support.

there was that helping refugees is now our top priority we must rebuild the infrastructure and the social sector. but the german foreign minister also stressed that a political solution for syria could only be successful in the absence of current syrian president bashar assad. a crystal is here with some business news and russia's central bank takes a bold step that is right terry raised the country's key interest rate by twenty five basis points to seven and a half percent now the move comes despite pressure from prime minister dmitri medvedev food called on the bank to lower rates to keep cash flowing to businesses and individuals 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. now yesterday turkey's central bank hiked its key rate to a record twenty four per cent and that was against the express wish of president type the central bank's move immediately halted the literals dramatic slide this year and sent of climbing again but only for a day at a not happy and today the lira slipped to get. to 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. didn't follow what. very few bank yesterday the central bank raised its interest rates very sharply. old showing. talks of independence you're well well there 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 effecting concerns of an ethical 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's announcement that it was raising interest rates now this is the car that they find a generation and is one of germany's most iconic brands but now the v w beatles time is coming to an end. finally halt all production of the beetle in twenty nineteen bringing an end to the cars 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

a woman in peru was the first of many that before the show began were given c.t. scans in manhattan university hospital her remains were already scrutinized this way in two thousand and six but thanks to advanced technology researchers can now look closely at things they once could only surmise they found the woman suffered from tuberculosis and was paraplegic in her hands it was discovered she holds baby teeth perhaps her children's something that some parents do even today. the specialist also identified the events linked to the seven hundred year old mummy of a child the c.t. tests revealed the drama that led to the death of this girl aged between one and two years. does help to get. the most striking thing is a long price straight on atomically inside the trachea the child in hand he told it

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. osman tells me he does not know why he's here and never understand what come back strong. this way what do you think of when you think of terrorism what does terrorism mean to you to listen who at least medium will make. clear he has hatred for other people this is because he has he has to do something from hate that one. who was. meant as syrian but has lived for several years in cyprus with his cypriot wife in two thousand and fifteen he set out to help his parents and his brother's family flee to europe. they arrived at the hunger in border the day after it was

closed they were blocked along with hundreds of other refugees who lack basic necessities protests broke out. oh. mamma tried to translate between the police and the protesters. but i. was but when communication broke down she joined in throwing rocks. and had planned to return to his family in cyprus but never made it home he was arrested and sentenced to seven years in prison these people are not peaceful they are not simply want to go through hungary he carry a danger and that they should use a very clear and present that's up to date the court ruled that the intent to coerce police with violence is an act of terror within the context what happened at the border but we do not think we. about what crime it constitutes throwing a couple of rocks. even if it's not the right thing to do in this issue with the

situation like this. is not. what covers terrorism in a statement to d.w. the hunger in government defended the decision of the court writing there has been a campaign lasting over a year including the involvement of the international press to prove that argument ages an innocent man. hungary will continue to protect its borders will defend its christian culture and its right to reject immigration. assman feels he is a victim of politics. my friend who can i do think i want to ask you one question you want americans and america they do these. young. this prison has been home for ahmed age for nearly three years he says his only plan for when he gets out is to see his family once again. his parents and

brother's family live in germany now as refugees. they were able to take an alternate route through europe to apply for asylum. when i meet them ahmed's wife is visiting with their daughters from cyprus she has been struggling to understand why hungary singled out her husband for punishment. how come he says i am you know how do you know by putting someone in the j. my saying he's a. point ahmed was arrested his daughters were four and six. when he sees them again he will be eleven and thirteen if his sentence is not reduced. and with me now here in the studio is amy and who filed that report you just saw at the end of your piece you raised the possibility of a sentence being reduced how likely is it that he'll be released early that's right he's going back to trial on the twentieth it's an appeal trial he's been through an

appeals process before so this would be the second appeal trial in the first one he was successful because with a new judge the judge ruled that some of the evidence in the original trial was not valid for example that he's muslim that he belonged to a muslim organization and his sentence was reduced from an additional ten years to seven years so the lawyers are hopeful that it will continue in this direction that they can convince the court even that the terrorism charges not valid but that's my next question he was jailed on terrorism charges as we saw in your report so did he do something more than just throw stones the short answer that is no i've looked into this for i've been following the story for three years now the government and the court originally produced evidence that for example they were saying that he had multiple passports on him when he was apprehended that he belongs to a muslim organization when he was younger like i said but the court finally threw

this evidence out and said that it did not pertain to the case because the the crux of the terrorism charge is that he participated in a riot and threw stones and using any you definition of terrorism which is that any violence toward a state body for coersion is a. act of terror obviously loosely defined but that is a new definition now viktor orban has made it clear that hungary really does not want to have migrants coming its way the building of that wall is perhaps the best symbol of it millions support viktor orban how did the people you spoke to in hungary feel about what he's doing but you said he does have widespread support for his right wing government and he has carried out a campaign through the media that has been very negative toward migrants and there has been a lot of negative press surrounding the ahmed trial in hungary that being said i was actually surprised that the people i talked to in budapest budapest is

a big city a little bit more liberal but i was surprised how many people i've talked to who felt a little bit that it was condescending to assume that they would believe that this was a terrorism trial and not just a trial of somebody who behaved badly during a protest and i just want to point out even if it did belong to a muslim organization i mean you know that in itself can't be a crime maybe a militant islamist one but strange strange background there tell us how has the government in hungary exploited case to pursue its campaign against migrants. orbán has made a very clear connection between migration and terrorism he's actually said to a newspaper that all terrorists are migrants so he's very forthcoming about this. and often it is incidentally the only migrant terrorist in hungary at this point the only person who's been charged and tried for terrorism so he has made this

clear connection there was even a questionnaire that was sent out to all hunger in citizens talking about terrorism and said that the e.u. wanted to force hungry to go easy on terrorism and put off man's name in there so it is clear that it is a very political topic in hungary right now i mean thank you so much t w as a mean s. a pleasure thank you. ten years ago on september fifteenth two thousand and eight u.s. investment bank lehman brothers filed for bankruptcy the event sent everyone from american investors to spanish property owners running for cover twenty five thousand lehman brothers bankers found themselves out of work overnight the lender was giant but not too big to fail lehman had become so involved in mortgage origination that it was basically a real estate hedge fund this guy as an investment bank now washington wasn't

willing to save the financial institution although it did save others. now the lehman brothers collapse unleashed a financial tsunami that tore across the world ripping through europe asia and eventually africa our correspondent for the chart is standing by for us in lagos nigeria funny how badly were african countries impacted. it's a given the fact of course that this continent is made up of five fifty plus countries of course the effects are felt but the fact there are many faults you would have to zoom in really to each and every country with different political economic environmental makeup to say so to really get the detailed picture of what really happened here ten years ago now what we can say as a big picture if you'll remember of course the food crisis two thousand and seven to two thousand and eight so commodity prices were already volatile to begin with even before the global recession and that was through the reinforced by the collapse of lehman brothers the trickle down to

a global recession that was especially felt very hard in sub-saharan africa but as i say if you zoom into each individual country you will see a different effect a different consequence and dollar for example slipped right into recession as a result nigeria the country where i am right now could absorb the biggest shocks and even though there is a slowdown in the economy they could pick up some pace again so let's talk a bit more about nigeria what exactly were the consequences of the financial crisis for africa's largest economy. materia certainly wasn't spades if you look at the stock market at death time twenty to can always dive it lost seventy percent of its value largely contributes to the fact status of the banking sector largely concha developing country that it wasn't just the or sacto but there was another sector that making sure that it isn't absorbance all of this chicken down effect and that is the norm or sector the agricultural sector was picking up some

speed so all around the g.i. did not slip into recession it was a slowdown of the economy growth but no recession it could pick up pace again just a few years later and funny speaking about spooked investors the financial crisis put at least a temporary stop to risky investments now is that one of the reasons why china has become such a massive investor in african countries whereas europe and the u.s. are lying behind. no one can really ignore africa neither europe u.s. and china the reason why china really put africa on the top of the our economic agenda has to be china itself china was so needy that time and still is in need of commodities in need of energy to boost their own manufacturing capacity that they're literally ascending delegates from china to each and every capital city of african countries so therefore of course it was the needs to impose their own

economy to get invested here the u.s. is rather for focusing on. many factoring goats and comedy comedies recently but you can see very strong ties with europe as about now what i would want to point out have that africa is really becoming self-confident african countries do not just want to free trade or more trade with all these countries but they want to have a fair trade right d.w. correspondent funny guitar reporting from lagos funny thank you so much. so ten years on what have we learned from the latest financial crisis how has the financial world changed our banks policymakers and consumers better prepared today experts say the next financial crisis could already be brewing. the financial crisis is over the banks have been saved hundreds of billions in taxes pulled them back from the abyss but experts say the world economy isn't in the clear yes many governments were forced to take on massive debt to ward off the world financial

crisis. the next threat is going to come from a very different quarter and it's going to what it's a very different nature than what struck the world in two thousand and eight it has to do with publicly held debt both in the united states and europe and that is the next term threat to the world economy and the results could be every bit as catastrophic and perhaps even more so than what happened in two thousand and eight take a silly where sovereign debt has climbed from one hundred two to one hundred thirty percent of g.d.p. since two thousand and eight that means the country owes more money than the combined value of all goods and services produced in italy each year the united states debt levels have also ballooned in the same timeframe that france is jumping from sixty eight to ninety six percent of g.d.p. . the international monetary fund predicts that debt levels over ninety percent of g.d.p. hinder economic growth and it also limits government's ability to react if the

economy starts to slow down which could kick off a financial death spiral leading the i.m.f. to the conclusion that the world is facing greater financial risk today than it was at the stars of the financial crisis in two thousand and eight. now in the aftermath of the lehman brothers collapse the then u.s. administration introduced stricter banking regulations known as the dot frank wall street reform and consumer protection act president donald trump has long been a critic of the frank back in may he scrapped some of the rules for small and medium lenders but many on wall street want the deregulation to go even further critics say raising restrictions on banks could prompt the next financial crisis. expect a very now and a humorous award with a twist that's right christoph and unusual ward a ceremony took place in the u.s. city of cambridge massachusetts on thursday night the ignoble prize authors
