very well north carolina south carolina. mark what a week ago so many listeners while this hurricane comes as thousands in the region are still reeling from another storm hurricane florence just a few weeks ago let's go to miami now and find out more from correspondent nicholas snyder nick thanks for being with us what are people in florida expecting over the next few hours. within the next few hours they try to meet with the next few hours we should be seen landfall with hurricane michel. should be around around twelve hours for say laying around early afternoon and hitting the florida panhandle then working its way up within the next couple of hours through alabama and georgia this is actually going to be quite fast moving hurricane in comparison to other and so we have seen in the past few months ok no many in florida and neighboring states especially the carolinas of already seen widespread flooding and property loss from
10:08 am
hurricane florence just a few weeks ago you how's that affecting preparations for this hurricane. well it's very important for us to remember that these are two completely different hurricanes with. us where it's a category one and now having hurricane michael with us with most likely a hurricane a category four it's important to understand the difference between the two with hurricane florence we're mostly prepared for possibly having a tougher time to be able to get to residents other people that are in need so transportation and evacuation and response teams getting over to the right people are definitely out of our highest concern right now. federal authorities have already touched on that a transportation issue they're warning of a major infrastructure damage what are authorities concerned about in that area right now. all right now with our ally and other utilities are mostly concerned about the not only the power outages but being able to safely
10:09 am
navigate the roads to be able to get to the residents everyone else that have not evacuated and for the transmission again the people who were out of that to wait out safely since this is a fast moving storm it will most likely be working its way quickly throughout the state into other states so you can cause a big danger to those still evacuating out already is another response teams have been trying to work around the clock to figure out what is the best way to mitigate this after the storm hits and be able to get the right supplies over to the people in need as fast as possible ok a lot of logistics operations already in motion there nicholas leider in miami for us thanks very much thank you the u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley has announced her resignation a surprise move comes just ahead of midterm elections a few weeks from now a time when the white house looking to project an image of stability president

10:11 am
council as he said serving had been and but it was now time to move on i was governor for six years and we've dealt with a hurricane a thousand year flood a church shooting a school shooting over the law and then they come in and been two years of russia and iran and north korea it's been eight years of intense time and i'm a believer in term one that from think you have to be selfless enough to know when you step on someone else to do the job president trump made no indication as to who may replace haley in the role and but he said he would make a decision in the coming weeks. now for some of the other stories making the news today at least fifty people have been killed in a bus crash in western kenya witnesses say the driver lost control of the vehicle which then overturned and rolled down a steep slope deadly road accidents are common in kenya buses are normally banned from traveling long distances though overnight. italian and french maritime authorities have continued their clean up operations near the island of corsica

after two ships collided earlier this week although no injuries were reported the accident did cause a fuel leak stretching some four kilometers teams work to pump out the polluted material in this changing weather conditions. a pro-government newspaper in turkey has a down to five to fifteen member saudi intelligence team it says was involved in the disappearance of the prominent saudi arabian journalist from all the show. turkish officials suggest he was killed inside the saudi consulate in istanbul riyadh denies the allegations saying the journalist left those premises. well turning to yemen where aid organizations are warning that a cholera epidemic is raging out of control our brutal civil war there has brought millions to the brink of starvation much needed food and medical supplies been cut off and the country now faces a humanitarian catastrophe. these women have traveled for days with their sick
10:13 am
children to reach this clinic the children are now likely to survive that is east in most cases an infusion is enough to stop diarrhea and help cure the infection but this kind of treatment is not available everywhere in yemen and since this summer the number of cholera cases has risen sharply. it's getting worse again more than every second patient we receive here is suffering from cholera this is extremely worrying. the beds in makeshift tents like this all occupied this hospital in the capital sanaa is one of the few that still operational. doctors and nurses are pushing their limits they don't turn anyone away. with a blockade of yemen's ports almost no food or medicines can enter the country. but aid organizations have been able to vaccinate many children and young people
10:14 am
against cholera. unicef and its partners are vaccinated over three hundred thousand people against cholera last year including one hundred sixty thousand children it was possible because there was a ceasefire. that the humanitarian situation for civilians has become critical. many families don't know whether they'll have enough to each the next day according to unicef a child under the age of five dies every ten minutes in yemen either from hunger or preventable diseases. now it's to death row war than fifty countries around the world impose the death penalty and rights groups say those condemned to death are often subjected to dehumanizing treatment and isolation and some countries convicts are even tortured with today marking the sixteenth world day against the death penalty we look at the conditions for those waiting for execution . carried dean mong the sixteenth person to be
10:15 am
executed in the u.s. this year his death by lethal injection was recorded and meticulous detail he turned his head left and mouth several words to piers a number of witnesses including the words i love you he said that at ten twenty five am. at ten twenty seven am do you have certain breathing heavily and then at ten thirty nine and twelve seconds the curtain went down possibly into the process took about fifteen minutes total. kerry d.-ma had been sentenced to death as a twenty two year old for the matter of two taxi drivers he spent eight years in prison awaiting his execution which was pushed off seven times. there are currently more than two thousand seven hundred inmates on death row in the u.s. they typically spend more than a decade in prison before they are executed. during this time they're generally
10:16 am
isolated from other prisoners excluded from prison programs and restricted in terms of visitation and exercise spending as many as twenty three hours a day alone in this cells. the united states is the only western country to still uphold the death penalty last year twenty three people were executed. but execution numbers in the u.s. are declining and they pale in comparison to some other countries in the world among the fifty six countries who still have the death penalty and use it iran saudi arabia iraq and pakistan top the table. but the country with by far the most executions is china chinese authorities don't release any figures regarding the death penalty. for television images like these of
10:17 am
a former police chief being sentenced to death for murder and bribery last year are extremely rare q if you think we've been through most trials happen behind closed doors and chinese authorities maintain almost total secrecy over the number of people sentenced to death amnesty international estimates that the number of death penalties in china is in the thousands. that would mean that china executed more people last year than all the countries in the world put together. in contrast to the us the time a prisoner spends in jail before their execution is often only a few months. but conditions for death row prisoners are often inhumane. a shackled to the wall and tortured. amnesty international has also cited reports of prisoners being executed without being able to say goodbye to their families.
10:18 am
we have some football now and so far it has not been a good year for germany's national football team they were booted out in the group stage of the twenty eight hundred world cup and were then embroiled in a scandal involving star player. now it wants to reconnect with its fan base here in berlin supporters had the chance to see the german national players up close. it's the type of reception the germany team really gets these days five thousand cheering fans isn't bad considering the events of the past summer but not all that surprising either given tickets were distributed through butlins youth football clubs hardly the toughest critics they flocked to get a glimpse of their favorite stars to build watching tony course the last minute thomas miller noir don't forget then i guess. even thomas millar a poster boy for germany's failings this summer and fall by munich's current struggles support for binds a clutch of national players isn't what it used to be. the result was the ins
10:19 am
a shake up of the squad never happened but i guess it doesn't make sense to change twenty players are supposed to hold more danger on both saying needs a break he's had it this is the scope's is not good to us also i would mix things up a bit more and bring in some younger players from different clubs. but the only genuine newcomer is a start but fans i'm most excited by leave royce sonny. you and brant and the team of venom may have more experience but they get to produce their best for you if you live side. they shouldn't give up they need to play more you doing. just need to do their thing and we'll win games. for the time being fans remain skeptical this open training session was the first step towards reconnecting with supporters for those lucky enough to be in attendance anyway. goes connect with business with christophe thousand new emissions regulations coming out of
10:20 am
brussels. briber talk about thirteen hours of heated discussion at the end of which the european union environment ministers have agreed to a thirty five percent c o two reduction for new cars by twenty thirty the ministers meeting in luxembourg were essentially split between eastern and western europe germany backed by eastern european member states fiercely resisted the forty percent cut which the european parliament voted for last week the target was reduced it to thirty percent for brands luxembourg and lands and nordic states had pushed for more ambitious productions the meeting aimed to establish the use position for talks at the united nations climate summit in poland in december. now let's get some more analysis on this deal with our correspondent band rieger and brussels band are the targets that you ministers agreed on in line with the demands from this week's un appeal to drastically address global warming as a unix have also for rep it an unprecedented reforms and none of this is achieved
10:21 am
by the agreement reached in luxembourg this night it's by the targets are now well in line with the overall. targets of the un but it's not overly ambitious you have to keep in mind that the car emissions in europe only a very tiny fraction of the overall problem but it comes to the climate change worldwide and much more important the emissions from power plans and also private teaching systems and i'm in this is also about to do more in these six but they did not lower the already existing emission targets in these few years so they go with a common position into the negotiations but it's not unprecedented and not read it and the german government was pushing for a less stringent c o two reduction germany has been having a reputation as an advocate for more and byron mental protection has that changed
10:22 am
now. germany when it comes to emission reductions is certainly not at the forefront and not the oven god the government in berlin is clearly trying to protect the german carmakers which have a little problem as competitiveness of it as comes through reduction of emissions and so it's more surprising that the german minister actually gave in to the thirty five percent target she was obliged to fight for thirty percent but in the night she gave up and now she's hoping that the negotiations with parliament will go smoothly because parliament is aiming for forty percent and the negotiations are starting now and they hope to strike a deal in march somewhere in the middle between thirty five and forty so the bargaining is going on but germany is certainly not the poster boy for call emissions that's clear and representatives of the automotive industry certainly were watching last night's discussion what does this decision by the e.u.
10:23 am
ministers now mean for the car industry. become makers have to sell more zero emission and electric cars in the future twenty thirty to reach these targets. but the targets are not set for every individual so you can still sell a fuel guzzling s.u.v.s on the one hand if you would sell one of two zero emission cars on the other hand so the fleet is the important thing and the german comic is have to come up is more solutions french comic us for example better in this field the french government already says we can reach forty percent easily so the germans have to catch up and bring their rigor of reporting from brussels where and thank you so much. the global financial system is becoming increasingly unstable the conclusion of a report by the international monetary fund or the world bank currently meeting on
10:24 am
the indonesian island of bali after the two institutions already lowered their global growth forecast they're now saying trade tensions rising debt levels and a hard are considerable threats to the world's financial stability. trade wars unsustainable das the prospect of a no deal breakers these are just some of the risks to global financial stability mentioned in the i.m.f. three poor us. if you think it all sounds pretty bleak take heart from the i.m.f. chief christine legarde. what it is tempting to be a bit depressed about this perspective i am actually hopeful because there is a clear up or tight to improve and expand trade think of the flurry of welcome discussions and proposals to strengthen the w.t. you all think of all the new trade deals such as d.p.p.
10:25 am
eleven. the regional african trade agreement and the progress made on the us mexico canada deal. progress in some areas yes but all this against a backdrop of a trade war between the united states and china. the world bank had a sober message about it had a tit for tat tat response between the world's top two economies could top the contagion effect. protectionist trade policies can cause a chain reaction as more countries adopt similar measures. the global recovery is built on investment and there's a real danger that businesses will decide to wait for more clarity before engaging in new projects ten years after the last global financial crisis there's a whole new set of risks to the world economy. whether it's trade war is the question of upholding international banking regulations or britain leaving the e.u.
10:26 am
to court suggests that without political cooperation the cracks in the financial system will only widen. national correspondent frank from conrad this is the second warning by the i.m.f. within twenty four hours are people why you are confident that world leaders will listen. they're skeptical kristoff especially with regard to one particular world leader the us president you know america first means that seeking common ground with other nations is not really on top of the agenda of the us administration and for the i.m.f. the international monetary fund this means that it's losing one of its most stabilizing forces the us has been a stabilizing force it's been even a dominating force in the i.m.f. for many decades since the foundation of the i.m.f. after world war two but now their positions seem to drift apart more and more take
10:27 am
for example the u.s. tax cuts they are among those dangerous undercurrents that the i.m.f. is talking about money is being sucked into the united states from many countries all over the world and this causes enormous problems for those countries and their financial systems the international monetary fund sees a whole array of threats to the global economy contribution reporting thank you. the top story we're following for you out this hour man has been arrested in germany and charged with the rape and murder of journalist victoria marin over the suspect is expected to be extradited to bulgaria it remains unclear if the t.v. presenter staff was linked to overcook. because the other news coming to you live from thanks for watching.
