also we have gotten reports that the airport has suffered some damage a portion of the roof was blown off or a collapsed or other and the windows were also broken but there was no reported casualties there we do have a reported one gentleman who was electrocuted now we expect other reports to come in as the areas that have been that are currently blocked because of downed trees and debris are opened and one of the ports the ground ok we're getting some images right now of the downed trees the power lines that you mentioned what about the evacuation efforts how are those proceeding especially in the remote areas that are hard to get to much. so evacuation efforts have been and since yesterday we saw government officials going door to door looking to through the docking knocking on the doors of people and either begging the convincing

a reasoning with them to move out of their homes and into someplace safer like an evacuation center so this is part of the preemptive measures for the government the motto is 0 casualty especially in the areas that are along the coastal lines and in the mountainous areas because this is this is where the most vulnerable residents live along the coastal areas homes are usually made a very. you don't know by the wind and in the mountainous areas they're very prone to landslides and hard which are powerful live ok it's not just the residents a lot of tourists. for the southeast asian games. we understand that a lot of those events without have been canceled. actually the government has already confirmed that they have made. measures so that they will only have to put

a more conciliatory approach to nato member states are at odds over a number of key issues 70 years on from its formation the unity of the alliance is under growing strength. nato performs on an impressive scale and exercises like united and with clear leadership but the political reality often looks different bitter quarrels occur frequently the latest on tag an ist french president emanuel he criticized me to his brain day and in an interview with british news magazine the economist a damaging political slap in the face just before the meeting in london. reported on my call in micro is very media savvy and knows how these things work and he knows how to make his voice heard. claire the timing before the meeting in london was chosen deliberately. look at all.

the french president's remark was mainly aimed at turkey for its military operations undertaken without consulting nato partners turkey is a geo strategically important nato member but it has stepped out of line with its offensive in northern syria nato the only major western military alliance was paralysed to intervene another problem turkey has entered an arms deal with russia buying a strategic missile defense system. more experts have agreed for months and even years that there's a problem with the alliance. problem dollars. a problem that u.s. president donald trump has exacerbated time and again america's withdrawal from syria surprised the alliance showing that the most powerful until name most reliable nato member is acting without consulting its european partners. now we

have a problem with the americans a problem in the west with transatlantic relations why the american see the europeans knew that the problem nor the solution. nato secretary general u.n. stoltenberg is under pressure he's seeking a clear commitment from all members 1st strong alliance for stoltenberg it's also a budgetary issue last year is we have seen that have started to increase again more troops more exercises more investment stoltenberg also try to get mccrone on board during a short visit to paris but without success france's president repeated his criticism. that there probably needed to be a wake up call and i'm happy that i was able to spark a debate and that we can now think about our strategic goals on affinity. statistic but stoltenberg did receive support from barry lynn german chancellor angela merkel defended nato. and this isn't of interest and we depend on this transatlantic

alliance and that's why it's right for us to work for this alliance and take on more responsibility. 70 years since the defense alliance was founded the global security situation is much more complex than it was during the cold war tensions over u.s. leadership alarm a turkey's small arming ties with russia and french doubts about nature is the viability the aline's is on the pressure but not only from the outside. of the other stories making news today stories in mexico are hunting cartel gunmen behind an attack that left 22 people that happened then when you're. that's close to the american border dozens of gunmen sprayed houses and city hall with bullets government workers and police officers among the dead. britain's prince andrew may have to give evidence over his dealings with the late sex offender geoffrey epstein

us lawyers want to subpoena the royal meanwhile the woman who says she was forced to have sex with the prince has appealed for support from the british people. a powerful storm that caused havoc in the american midwest has now moved on to the northeast more than half a meter of snow forecast in some areas some 4000 flights have been counseled. well dozens of heads of state are expected at the un climate conference in madrid over the next 2 weeks the u.n. secretary general antonio opening the summit with a call for action on climate change the focus now is on the shoring that even the biggest economies are carbon neutral by 2050 the focus right now is on who will launch real action against climate change last year a new record was set with humans pumping more gigatons of greenhouse gases into the environment than ever before now at the un climate conference in madrid spain

delegates from around the world are expected to get clear on exactly how they'll take action moving forward. u.n. secretary general antonio terra's said the war against nature must stop do we really want to be remembered as the generation debt burden to bear the in the sense that. while the planet burns. and the pressure is on the last 5 years were the warmest since humans began recording temperatures extreme weather events are more common sea levels continue to rise to dangerous new levels. pollution in the atmosphere. and in our oceans is devastating ecosystems. but so far most countries are still heading in the wrong direction scientists say the vital markers of climate change are predicted to rise not fall

in the coming decade emerging economies are burning more coal and the us one of the largest producers of greenhouse gas emissions pulled out of the paris agreement the u.s. delegation says that will change. unfortunately we are having to fight our way through a bit of a block by the fossil fuel industry but that will not prevail meanwhile europe is setting its sights on leadership the new head of the european commission ursula vander lyon said europe is prepping to blaze the trail to an economy that prioritizes eco friendly innovation climate. 2015 the european green deal is europe's new growth strategy it will cut emissions well also creating jobs funder lion said the e.u. wants to create a transition to climate neutrality that is irreversible with plans to invest one

trillion euro in the next decade to make europe the 1st climate neutral continent in the world. the race is on to see who can create leadership that finally brings results. so who's going to win this race our political correspondent kate bray joins us now on the stupid ones you. re talking about being carbon neutral by 2050 the pressures on countries like germany to do that what would a carbon neutral germany look like well germany said li isn't winning the race right now to become carbon neutral by 20 or 50 that's for sure but it is still possible but that would be germany of 2050 would heavily rely on renewable energy of course that's something that we're already seeing develop here in germany and already solar and wind power for example accounts for about 45 percent of germany's energy that said the have some huge setbacks in recent years particularly when it comes to wind power have been

a lot of legal cases opened by normal members of the public who are opposing a wind farm some of them saying that they want to know in my backyard exactly the same as nimbys they was then known as and they want to know what the potential health hazards office and of course germany as well same time right now is trying to offset that decision after the fukushima disaster to close down its nuclear power plant so at the moment it is certainly possible and germany is still continuing to invest in renewable energy and that would be one of the one of the main factors in creating a carbon neutral germany but of course i'm trying to imagine a gemini with no cars for example is simply out of the question there isn't exactly we've actually seen the number of car owners actually increased in recent years and so. also industry is certainly not something that's going to disappear overnight is a country where you can't even get a limit on the speed limit on a autobahns you know the numbers we're talking about one trillion over the next 10

years and they're sent task numbers i mean huge numbers. and the german government the same time is ruling out any kind of deficit spending how's germany going to square this circle how can it restructure and not go into deficit spending fried green economy in the process it's only possible and that's already been in some cities as well to suggest that there are alternatives that would cost the same amount of g.d.p. that germany currently spends on fossil fuel impulse at the moment say especially if we saw a restructure of renewable energy and particularly using hydrogen for example as an alternative to fossil fuels but that said the german government did announced earlier this year this $60000000000.00 climate policy but if you listen say any of the loudest critics those say that is simply not enough and right now germany is still sitting on this huge surplus while the government is very much obsessed it's really created this fetish really around the shots and no this black 0 of keeping

a balanced budget in germany and again the you know the loudest critics say is simply not enough and germany needs to take a leading role in combating climate change particularly and europe and that is going to cost money ok and it is benefiting the green party right now the grid a fact is benefiting them politically is certainly i mean in the recent months we've seen these green policies shoot through the polls they're currently the 2nd strongest policy in germany and it is very likely that we will see the greens as part of the next german governments of course that will then also have an effect on germany's climate policy as well and we're also seeing in especially young people in germany as a result of this could effect as you call it you know it was the more young people turning out onto the streets and calling that the climate policy here in germany and to questions well they want to see more ambitious plans from the german

government but at the moment that does only seem to be having a limited effect on the actual actions of the governments of course at the moment. seem to be unwilling to renegotiate climate policy so. we'll have to see what comes out of madrid in the weeks ahead kate thanks very much. well today is united nations international disability day it's an opportunity for the well being of the rights of some 1000000000 people that's nearly one in 7 of the world's population who have some kind of disability now the disabled have seen their opportunities improving but in many countries it is still very difficult of course to get a job or education even if you are disabled like in myanmar. so it's the tables ready for banquet or yangon hotel she has difficulty walking and is one of 13 disabled workers at this hotel. including this cook who is deaf and

a floor or 2 as a perspective left leg below the knee and locally i know when i got this job i felt encouraged that i can do something and that i can help support my family. that. this situation is all too rare meum are were 85 percent of adults with moderate to severe disabilities are unemployed. and about 2 out of every 3 disabled children are not in school vicky bowman the director of the myanmar center for responsible business says the disabled in myanmar face adversity for many directions so the main problem is that people disabilities face in memo is that there is next to no government support for them there are very few government institutions supporting them and within the school system does no established way to help children so as a result discrimination starts from a very early age children disabilities are excluded from school and then this goes on to have an impact on their ability to get jobs and later life me out to women is

one of the most visible advocates for the disabled to me m.r. from his appearances on local television. in meetings across the country with disabled people to discuss ways to improve their lives. we have a fusion to create a 0 discrimination environment for education jobs and mall. owners say we're sure he knows many of the challenges firsthand. and you have to win has cerebral palsy and needs help with basic things whether it's just taking a seat or eating dinner. but that is not stop this married father of 2 sons he has a university degree and owns a real estate agency as well as a printing company he also started a foundation to help the disabled but me as to when acknowledges that throughout his life he has had resources that most disabled people myanmar do not have his family could afford to hire people to accompany him to school as

a child and his professional success and nails and to have assistance by his side today but he's fighting alongside other advocates to help the disabled in this impoverished country get more support progress in recent years includes more job training programs strengthening relationships with businesses so more of them harvest able workers and spreading the word across the country to try to inform all families and educators that disabled children have a legal right to go to school and that they belong there step by step advocates for the disabled are chipping away at the barriers in this country but they say continued progress requires changing the attitudes of the general public. we have to stop people from making any judgments so they don't think that a disabled person doesn't really need schooling because even if they graduate they won't be able to get a job we have to change that mindset. it's a long road ahead but me after when other advocates say they'll keep fighting to

help the disabled have the quality of life they deserve. let's talk football now and meghan repeat of the u.s. in argentina's barcelona star lionel messi has been awarded football's along door as the best female and male players of the year max merrill's here to talk about that did of sports more max. why did the judging panel choose megan rypien oh well she was the clear choice and not just for performance on the pitch but kind of also off the pitch she's really turned into somewhat of an icon over the last few months and it's a little odd to see a not attend the ceremony we're not clear as to why she was unable to come as she did attend the fee for the best ceremony early in the year but the ballon d'or i mean has only existed for for 2 years this is the 2nd time it's been awarded but she really transcended the sport i mean we can see here her giving speeches that's

something that she was doing a lot this year as well after that world cup triumph that she led the usa to she was the player of the tournament in that tournament and the joint top scorer as well with 6 goals so fantastic performance absolutely and we can see also from this win the difference here to the men's game that the the international game is valued of a club football she obviously won the world cup for instance last year when the hague a bag won the champions league again this year but she only came 4th so a clear difference that the men's game ok let's talk about the men's game lionel messi winning for the 6th time in 10 years that's incredible yes it is i mean and it's sort of business as usual for him this season which means incredible numbers but he he wasn't really necessarily everyone's favorite choice but what comes that individual moment this season this posses and in 50 games in all competitions he scored $51.00 goals for barcelona and now argentina

a little less successful 3rd place at the cope and merica where he would have hoped for. finally won a title with his national side but he has an interesting lee won the ballon bowl since 2015 so quite the gap for someone who's been so dominant in this these past few years but he as you rightly say has now want to record 6 moving want to head of christiane elder and we can take a listen to how he reacted to that you know what i mean it was unimaginable for me to think i could win one bottle never mind but it's a pleasure to have so many and be the only one with 61 and it's great to have this recognition and that makes me very proud. and it's you know it was ok there was another man who was up for this award though from liverpool virgil van dyke what can you tell us about him well you know he was kind of maybe the fans and experts popular choice because defenders get overlooked traditionally by the ballon d'or they're less flashy of course on the pitch and also the stats to read as well as

for an attacking player only for defenders in the pasta have won the award and vandyke i think the outside choice for this one people were hoping that maybe he would be given the award but he came 2nd which is still a very good achievement he won the champions league and the nation's league with netherlands so a good year for him not capped off entirely and he's young enough to have a shot again i absolutely yes max thanks very much for coming in today well there was a monday night football in the bundesliga as minds hosted frankfurt in a regional derby and it was the home side who took a big way to move up from the depths of the table. local clashes are usually fiery occasions and this one was no different flares thrown on to the pitch what's a plane for a slightly late to kick off than planned but the action came thick and fast not seen him for a couple of visits is one up to 33 minutes. that offended finding room to shoot amid the chaos. but front foot soon ran into trouble so

many poor receiving his marching orders for this last man slip up and minds pounced carry much other neic wood with a searing shot to drool things level in the 2nd tough shots at 2nd glance cancer i got the final touch another goal for the on track man running this time. and the home side grabbed the winner through adam sol eyes close range finish she won final score. minds get the points. this is the news these are our top stories right now more than 200000 people have fled their homes in the philippines as a powerful typhoon batters the country with french will rains and having winds officials have urged residents to evacuate coastal areas in the spheres of flooding but no airport has suspended its operations. u.s.
