to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with hurricane dorian a storm that has forever changed the way some people measure time the hurricane is now moving along the coast of the u.s. states of south and north carolina a category 2 category 3 hurricane deadly and destructive but it is a shadow of what it was just a few days ago when it became a category 5 storm in the atlantic and then slammed into the bahamas stalling there for almost 2 days the devastation so great authorities say it will take a generation to recover residents say the impact of the storm is so deep that they are now referring to life in the bahamas dorian and post during the seemingly impossible task of providing aid shelter and food to everyone in need has begun

along with efforts to rescue the wives dorrian did not wash away. in the heart of the hurricane volunteer rescuers struggle to find what they're looking for but then dangling from the attic of a home life trapped by the storm one by one a family imagines from the darkness. the more fortunate are already returning home to dorian's destruction. the island family's house was flooded everything destroyed all they want for to graf's my wife . she said she turned off she said the window not the front door she said one driver. this was the scene when the island's

made their daring escape clutching their most prized possessions. paradise has been pulled thousands of homes on abaco island torn apart boats tossed around and as the storm surge locals destroyed. my island because everything is gone. no buying no stores. no take at least 4 to 5 years to complete only moksha but i don't know how long it takes for the rest of the i don't but in this you know nothing at all everything is going to body. for those left behind putting the bahamas back together is expected to cost billions and the government says allies have promised to pay cheney i spoke with president donald trump who has expressed support. for the assistance of the united states of america for the bahamas and time. back at the island

family home offers of help been pouring into. it so. big so many people. i truly know big 23 people have offered so much. but. you know we're all wearing the same clothes that we escape. so i think. so it's really good to get support and know that you can rebuild a new 2 that after surviving the 2nd strongest hurricane on record he and his family a lucky to be a life horrible story is there for more on the situation in the bahamas i'm joined now by journalist kimberly mullins she is in freeport on grand bahama it's good to see you kimberly you know there are reports of people people in the bahamas saying

that when you walk outside anywhere and everywhere you can smell death in the air. what are you hearing i mean it's it's just unimaginable what the reports are and harry was there with you i with that ice now what do you do you smell me and sunny . now in my area per se but yesterday as they traverse throughout the out and i. was like what is that mine somebody who works in the home so i was like this smells pretty familiar and i don't like it but at the same time we can quickly jump to conclusions because there are a lot of animals in the humane society even suffered tremendously a lot of animals some are some are asking that there's an art. you know i know of people whose who had to say i have dogs lapped and we can only hope and

then i say hey my backyard didn't make it so there's it's a putrid thing and i could disparage it it's future. and you know there have been images of people emerging from homes that you know people who hadn't been seen for days so there's still hope out there that missing people can be found what are you hearing what's the latest on rescue attempts. i'm not sure about past exams at this point i know there's still chorus khamis in the air police officers and knocking on persons doors you know a lot of people of missing persons reports which are with was supposed to do at this point now that he can actually get to the police station because that means underwater during the storm so that our command center and mima could not work properly here in the bahamas which is the national emergency management agency so a lot of those people you know we're trying to connect them and their families as best as best as we can but rescue efforts at this point they just need really

a lot of them who were able to manage through this storm they're like you know it doesn't make sense rescuing me. we just need state would get us you would get us more or less just clean up we have we have our mail boat which is coming in from the capital which are transporting people out of the island as not as also they are bringing bringing us some boots and water some supplies red cross tide on the island to date on the salvation that on the island today are all bombs to dance for us is assisting that. have those items and we have a couple international organizations who are actually met with red tape you know they can get so they know the allens right now because the government only want to work for the few organizations so you know there's a lot of a lot of things going up and down right now rast youth is still continuing it is faster that people who need medical history it's planets they don't have water

because we now we don't have water on the island which is a big problem so the clinics the hospital they need water clean water. and. the things that are needed right now that are needed are they getting through or as you just said or we're talking about retain bureaucracy or really blocking things wimbley or so acutely needed. what they're doing what the government is doing is taxing. people who put together a private ad relief efforts so if they don't want to recognize you as help it within their certain list of charities organizations they're actually telling you hey you have to pay your do you have to pay your taxes and at a time like this so far we've also heard that the government has put in a $90.00 big the agency order which is give you can prove a year houses damage and you want to bring its own as you can in terms of the a plane or or a boat you have 90 days 90 days with people who've lost everything that we know

they can sign a passport. and only are met with that but before we run out of time commitment just ask you the fact that you were able to talk tonight. means that some of the telecommunications network is working i mean what's the state of that is everyone able to reach the people that they want to reach and all the islands and that that's the most unfortunate part so i'll explain it like this quickly i have towers for this for my home was not compromised and one of the 111 of the few areas that they didn't experience letting this storm happen in 3 phases we had water wind and we had. and i say water i mean flooding and we had rain of course we had to brave the elements i had power because we have an industrial generator in this home. so i had service because i have avoidable wife advice. to telecommunications company. com companies one of them failed one of them stayed

up that's the only way some of people were able to be rescued others couldn't even get a message out. tonight giving us the latest on the situation there in the our lives from what we appreciate your time and your insights. thank you take care. well coming up later on the day blood is apparently not thicker than bright said the british prime minister's own brother today quit parliament and the cabinet but not even rumors of a family feud have changed boris johnson stands on briggs it can you make a promise to day to the british public that you will not go back to brussels and another delay to back that yes and so you can add would you rather be dead in a ditch. monstrous despicable that is how a judge in germany today described it to child sex abusers as they were sentenced

to prison for sexually molesting more than 30 children over 2 decades some of their victims were just toddlers the sex crimes took place at a campsite near the talmud detmold in north western germany police there are being criticised for failing to intervene soon. sivia sexual abuse of children and more than $200.00 cases both under 3 and mary 0 s. were found guilty of abusing more than 30 children the main victim and own 8 year old foster child the sentences are close to the maximum penalty in germany but it's likely the 2 men will never be fully released one of the defense lawyers accepted the verdict. plots and everything in the end it's 13 years plus preventative detention and that was to be expected i've stated at other times if not in this case when he's a problem done for years the authorities received tips about the potential

pedophilia of the main suspect it was only in october last year that one of the girls' mothers reported the crimes to the police that happened at the campsite where he lived the trial considered one of the biggest cases of sexual abuse in germany cost outrage and raised many questions including how andrea sui was allowed to foster child when he was unemployed and living at a campground and despite the fact that he had been under suspicion of sexual assault the police also came in for criticism after evidence a suitcase full of d.v.d.'s with child pornography and abuse disappeared after the men were arrested it is a protest or to this verdict should not mean that the whole story is now all over and done with yes we have got to they did did 2 principal accused the 2 main perpetrators who did this to the children themselves in the background there are people who could have helped save many children from these experiences as bunk and

even though the 2 men have been sentenced to 12 and 13 years the court label them both dangerous offenders meaning they can be held indefinitely past the sentences. well the british government says it will comply with a lol delaying brights if the legislation passes parliament and that legislation is expected to become law next monday today prime minister boris johnson suffered yet another major breaks that loss and this one was personal his own brother today joe johnson who campaigned for britain to remain in the european union during the 2016 referendum when he announced that he is leaving the conservative party and stepping down as education minister in his brother's cabinet. brothers yes but brothers in brecht's know when the day a defiant johnson repeated his montreal that britain must leave the european union

on october the 31st and that a general election is needed to renu the brics it mandy. all i can say and i hate to mike brooks i don't want to go on about this he want i don't i don't want an election i don't i don't want to lecture to but frankly i can't see any other way the only way to get this thing done to get this thing moving is to make that decision do you want this government to take a site on the table the 31st or do you want jamie colby a little cloudy to go to that crucial summit in brussels little table the 17th effectively hand over control to these are and that was the british prime minister there to talk about europe germany and britain i'm joined here at the big table tonight by many 100 are very he's a member of the german parliament the bonus talk for the social democrats see also sits on the bonus talk committee for european union affairs where breaks it course continues to dominate the agenda it's good to have you back on the show i want to

ask you there were reports of late last night after the house of commons passed a bill to request another extension to break said that the european union may not be willing to grant another extension i mean can you confirm anything tonight is the us or is the e.u. now less likely to say yes to a delay. well thanks for having me again i'm not a spokesperson for the european union i think if the domestic policy and politics in the u.k. would lead to something to wanting a delay. 2 of jenner probably some people would listen to that very carefully is that the feeling you get even even in the german parliament that there is a willingness to in of say yes yes again well at this point we don't even know what's going to happen because this prime minister obviously it's difficult to foresee what his next action is but if we do have the choice in the european union

as between no deal scenario at the end of next month or a delay that would make it possible for the british parliament to have more time to to take action then i would suggest to give another 3 months the u.k. prime minister has repeatedly said that his brags that minister is curing with the new suggestions on how to solve for example the irish back start problem solutions to do this impasse now michel barnier the e.u.'s breaks it man says he hasn't seen any plans we've also been told that the u.k. prime minister says that most of the parliaments in the major e.u. countries have been given these plans have you seen any plans from boris johnson no i haven't and there aren't any there is no invisible border that would fit with the with the criteria of the single market it is impossible we have been talking about

this for years now there is nothing new just the prime minister's new the prime minister is new in what does it do the 2 the the trust in the good she asians with the prime minister says there are plans out there and yet you know that that's not true well to be quite frank i be glad if we would have some sort of bargaining situation but. right now we don't even know whether democracy as we know it in westminster will work next week so let's wait for that and after that i think there will be very pragmatic talks about anything but if the prime minister is seriously willing to to leave his country in a new constitutional crisis it be a totally different taste do you believe that mr o'grady that there would be a willingness within within germany and also within the e.u. to reopen negotiations even a little bit negotiations. and even if there was a willingness this is

a consensus between 27 countries i think you shouldn't overestimate it the deal we're having now with obviously was made last year on this one is. it is difficult to difficult to think of an alternative to do that and it is a good compromised coming must torts the british position more than to the u.p.a. in position there are reports that boris johnson wants to change the ukase to fits pledges in the current brags it dio in other words we're hearing from one did in that the prime minister wants to create leverage in other words to threaten that the u.k. will not cooperate with the e.u. insecurely if it doesn't get in a vis the you know an answer to the backstop in ireland for example and have you heard a thing mill hadn't heard anything and let's see whether this primers they're still prime minister at the end of next month of its it's super difficult to to to go in theory you of all the alternatives if we don't even know with his prime minister

word act in accordance was some something that we're be passed by the british parliament tomorrow that's that's a serious stuff now will you watching at light like the rest of us what's going on right now in one didn't we know that worse johnson is going to call for early elections again next monday and there are predictions that parliament will say yes to that and that he could maybe win elections in october do you see that happening i mean i'd so on your facebook page today you said it was something is populist politics what we're seeing right now in london do you think that we're going to be dealing with a prime minister boris johnson come october 31st if their early elections in the united kingdom by the rules and laws of the unite end the constitution of the united kingdom's in mr of johnson would win though to tory party would win this election he did stay in down a street on which and that's fine that's ok what would be your serious crisis is if

he would even if next week be obviously if my and majority office of his 1st office parliament in ordered to extend the through the the deadline of the of the end of october and he's not not act accordingly then we have a super serious problem. one final question you're also the spokesperson for your party's parliamentary group on u.s. and north american relations in you were just in the united states for several weeks the u.s. vice president has been visiting ireland and he caused a little controversy by saying that the united states stands completely behind boris johnson's breaks it policy what does that do to germany and the e.u. use stance on drugs when they see the u.s. vice president standing in ireland saying we're for brights it boris johnson style well the government of the united states is a problem not only in this case but also in other on other occasions but there are

members of congress on the democrat side also on the republican side that see it very very seriously and i would say much more realistic than the administration at this point and they see the problems of a new border and again coming up between north island in the republic of ireland and being really serious about not let it having letting that happen you know worried about us interference in the power in the budget process i am because they are interfering all the time but i think it's not the u.s. position generally there are other voices in the united states as well all right messing up verdi member of the german parliament the buddhist talk with the social democrats as always we appreciate you taking the time to start with us thank you thank. all the rooster or the cock is the national symbol of france so you'll understand why the nation let out a collective cock a doodle doo today after a judge handed down his decision on maurice the rooster or reese's owner was sued

by her neighbors who claim that the roosters early morning crows were 10 to mount a noise pollution and in a game of legal chicken the plaintiff and the defendant faced off in court where today the judge ruled that maurice the village cock can continue to crow as he likes in france tonight it is clear once again he really rules the roost. this is maurice quite possibly now france's most famous rooster while he was at home having a pretty regular day his own or careens i saw was at court getting the good news not least was officially off the hook. was thank the court's ruling means least the rooster can continue to cock a doodle doo at the crack of dawn. interest so said she had a hunch she would win the case but she was careful not to get too cocky. she moved . i was amazed because even though i expected a positive answer i was

a little scared anyway and i am telling myself at least i haven't done it for nothing it was a long story i fought for over 2 years and now you have to move on you know that's what was he said yeah yeah i'm the lawyer representing timor case was equally satisfied with the court's ruling he said it was a rear piece of common sense. i think it will strengthen local elected officials and the courts because today people acting in bad faith well they will have to think twice before they go to their mayor to ask them to solve a case before they go to court colleen 1st so has lived on the small island of all the home of france's atlantica coast for 35 years 2 years ago her new neighbors were so upset with mohit as a 5 am morning call they decided to sue oh yeah the case struck a nerve with many attracting support locally and from abroad. other cocoa news came

to court and support and more than 120000 people signed a petition urging authorities to leave more police alone. interest so says she hopes her case will spark a wider debate in french society. just that i hope my story will make some people talk a lot and that it will make people think you have to stop complaining about nothing like it's event planning and what this is because most cases not complaining in fact he doesn't say much at all he's probably just happy this cock and bull story has come to an end. indeed he is all right the day is almost on the covers asian continues online to find us on twitter either at the w. news or you can follow me at t.v. don't forget to use our hash tag the day and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody.
