north carolina a neighbor described terrifying scenes as the storm bordine. very dark. and the wind being higher like it is now higher then so all you could see was water and it was very low. so. here with a figure out what's going on there. further up the coast in new bern a huge storm surge left hundreds of residents trapped as the waters rose around them. westie trees used boats and military vehicles to get the might. never been so terrified of my life. it was horrifying. just wondering what's going on in and where the water's going to go and how i got to go and how we're going to get out and we're going to get trapped in the attic and. hundreds of thousands of homes

and i without power authority is a warning evacuated residents to stay put in south has. resist the urge to go out and check on the damage we have days every head of us and that means more rivers will rise in flood communities. now cooling westwards florence is expected to linger for days forecast as a predicting more life threatening storm surges and flooding with parts of north and south carolina set to receive up to a meter of rain. let's now go live to do correspondent standing by in washington north carolina you are on the ground what is the situation there now. nic we're in a small town that's just north of new bern one of the towns that was hit the

hardest and as you can see the floodwaters have mostly receded in this town but the banks of the pimlico river which are standing right by are still very much overflowed on to the park property here this all here is still very much flooded i am basically standing in the river while i'm standing on the sidewalk several meter arriving through the town here this is a very small community and we could very clearly see the marks about a meter high on the houses where the water had been just yesterday several several streets are still closed the police are still out trying to keep people indoors saying the water on the ground could be potentially unsafe if there's any downed wires anywhere we also saw branches lying in the streets still a lot of damage to be assessed and a lot of cleanup to be done here so you're talking about possible hidden dangers there mine of florence was downgraded to a tropical storm but we hear authorities are still warning people to stay at home is that partly why there's hidden dangers absolutely as we heard

in the report they are still expecting several days of rain the winds here have mostly died down in this region is out of the storm's direct grasp shall we say but they're still expecting gallons and gallons of rain there was one estimate that said north carolina alone is going to get around ten true really in gallons of rain throughout the course so even though florence is no longer a hurricane they're still looking at massive flooding flash floods damage due to that and of course there's always the danger of people unfortunately dying what can we expect in the next few hours and days that. well like we said there's still a lot of rain expected in this town and several towns around it in this county in this community are under curfew at least a night if not for the next several days trying to keep people off of the streets so if there are still any people who need to be rescued emergency crews can get to them and to keep people from trying to drive through streets like this causing

further damage in this town alone of this town is less than ten thousand people there were ninety people who needed to be rescued in a big story in the next coming days is going to be how are they going to restore power to the hundreds of thousands of people across the state who are now without power especially as the flooding continues that's going to make it very difficult for rescue crews and for power crews to get through and rescue people on restore energy ok. thank you very much maya swager from to be reporting from north carolina now staying with the dangerous weather typhoon is barreling toward southern china and the densely populated territory of hong kong leaving behind a trail of destruction in the philippines the storm made landfall in the country's main island of luzon early on saturday strong winds and torrential rains caused power outages floods and dozens of landslides at least three people have been confirmed dead more than one hundred thousand have had to flee their homes the

here in bavaria where the vast majority of refugees arrived in twenty fifteen many c.s.u. officials back then criticised anglo machall who's actually their sister party representative for her what they called her open door policy towards refugees and for a long time it sounded as though the c.c. was trying to imitate the f.t. and polls then clearly showed that that strategy didn't work that voters didn't like that at all and so the c.s.u. has now clearly changed its strategy in fact the state premier marcus souter who spoke earlier here in munich said that the c.s.u. needed to attack the a.f.p. he said the sea is you need to distance itself from the a.f.p. very clearly and i asked some of the high ranking c.s.u. official says how they're planning to win back the vote. they have to clearly show that we do. have a clear line as regards migration policy that we have a plan that is what we actually have you know we want to help people who are asking

for asylum in europe that's not an issue but we also want that you know that we don't know on the basis you know that we have a regular procedure to be used that you know who is coming into our country this is different to the dean who simply says no it's because you know refugees at all in our country that is not our line progress or change of one it would seem you know polls show the party is not just losing votes the f.t. but also to other parties are we seeing a revolt of some kind against the far right policies there to. well what we are definitely seeing is that the same is happening in bavaria what is happening on a federal level here in germany that the political landscape is becoming more fractured and in fact at the very elections on the fourteenth of october we could see seven parties and the bavarian parliament for the very first time and incidentally parties at that have established really clear topics are doing really

well in the polls and that includes the green party last year that many people thought the green party was almost dead but the green party could become second strongest party. near the bavarian conservatives have ruled the state for more than seven decades i think in some kind of record in europe now it now looks like they'll lose their absolute majority why why is this so significant. it is significant because the c.s.u. is a special party in that it can only be elected in bavaria it doesn't the candidates don't run in all of germany and at the same time until america will see did they lose voters that means that the conservatives on the national level are we can just well. thank you nina. cause a boxer canadian goal of kings rematch with how can
