e and hit the states west coast with winds of over 240 kilometers per hour. so this is a devastating storm for parts of florida, not just on the south west coast, but also inland, associated with some of these impacts. this is going to be a storm we talk about for many years to come. it's one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the us. the authorities have warned the pounding, rain and wind will continue as the hurricane crosses florida to the atlantic ocean . the states governor says that it could take years to recover from the devastation left behind. this is a, a major, major event. it's going to be going to be a tragic event in many ways. and we understand this is not just a 48 hour ordeal. this is going to be something that is going to be there for days and weeks and months, and unfortunately, in some circumstances,

even years. the flood waters as well as winds, are causing the most damage. the hurricane has knocked out electricity to more than 1000000 homes and businesses in the city of tampa. the power of the storm sucked the water right out of the bay. even though the hurricane weekend as it moved inland authorities or warning of devastating rain, wind and even tornadoes steals to come as it tears across the state. matthew kofuji is meteorologist for the ap my radar speaking to me from port charlotte, florida. he gave me this assessment of the extreme conditions. personally, i've never witnessed the storm at least 1st and this intense store thing right now . conditions are beginning to die down here where we are, which is good to finally have a break in the wind in the rain and everything else. the 1st half of the storm was bad, especially for areas of south the port. charlotte, we're talking naples,

we're talking fort myers, or some other high storm surge ever recorded at more than 22 and a half meters was complete. inundated the coastline where i was, we saw significant winds in the order of i'd say, 140 plus kilometers per hour implant this will rainfall, then we got the i ordinarily the 2nd half of the storm is weaker. in this case, it was far stronger from a wind standpoint, we saw wind gusting close to, gosh, 172190 kilometers per hour. we saw absolutely plentiful rainfall to the point where even beyond storm surge, every place that we were trying to drive through or around was an inaccessible due to extreme flooding. with rainfall rates of 5 plus to 6, perhaps centimeters for our industrially difficult situation. and now this is the 1st time my life. i've looked out the window and can't find a single lights anywhere. the only lights we've seen all night long. we're actually hunker down in

a garage right now. are from transformers blowing. so powerful ashes. why was the 2nd part of the storm so strong that you know, that's something that i think we're going to be discussing for quite some time. because honestly it, it didn't really follow the textbook structure of a typical storm. we had expected this storm several days ago to be in a weakening trend towards landfall instead. this defined all odds rapidly intensifying this morning to a borderline category 5. and so many things really surprises about this. so what's the damage like the damage from what i can see is that of a miles wide f 2 f 3 tornado. you have a lot of people whose homes are under water or roofs that are missing. you'll have, my goodness, i mean the building where underneath right now had its roof peel back. lots of areas are still under water, further inland from fresh water flank. it's just one thing after another. and i think until daylight comes in about 3 or 4 hours, we won't really understand the scope of the devastation. i think g meteorologist

with the my radar app in port charlotte, florida. thank you. thank you. let's have a look at some other stories making news, according mamma has sentenced after leader on for g to 3 more years in jail for violating a secret. it's the latest in a string of convictions against us in the military seas power last year. so she's economics, advisor, australian short term, now also receive 3 years prison. 20 us vice president. carla harris says, hell bilateral talks with south korea's president, june security in sol, both you and and harris condemned north korea's provocative nuclear rhetoric and reaffirms. they commitment to the, the nuclear rise ation of the korean peninsula. harris arrived and sold a day of the film gang conducted more ballistic missile. iran's president ibrahim, right, he has condemned the chaos. shocked by the death of

a procedure that is anything but democratic. we run into soldiers. they asked if we had voted. we said yes. they said, let's do it again. some say they were forced to vote at gunpoint and soldiers checked their ballots. speaking about the referendums, ukrainian president vladimir sir lensky thanked western leaders for condemning the fabricate at vote, which seemed jugglers a thank you all for your clear and unequivocal support. thank you all for understanding our position was ukraine cannot and will not put up with any attempts by russia to seize any part of our land in the u. s. so landscape predictions were echoed by the white house. these referenda are illegitimate, and frankly out rages. we expect russia to use these sham referenda as a false pretext, to try to annex ukrainian territory and flagrant violation of international law

and the united nations charter. in fact, russia's actions are transparently fraudulent and have no legal significance whatsoever. we will never recognize these illegal and illegitimate attempts at annexation the sham referendums prompt that the you to call for new sanctions package against russia. it would be the 8th package so far and include tighter trade restrictions among them, a price cup for russian oil. thank you, my them president. the sham referenda, organized in the territories that russia occupied, are an illegal attempt to grap land and to change international borders by force. the mobilization and putting a threat to use nuclear weapons, a further steps on the escalation path,

russian and stole leaders into occupied regions of donetta. clue hon. sc. supper re, john harrison huff. already formally asked the russian president to incorporate their territories into russia. a correspondent mathias bollinger is in the ukranian capital. keith. i asked him how the 18 additional hi ma systems promised by the us will help you crank military. the high must have been very effective of in this war on the ukrainian side, ukraine has been able to hit a deep behind the russian lines and to his supply lines there, which has considerably are made it more difficult for russia to bring ammunition, for example, to the front lines, et cetera, big ammunition dumbs have been hit by these high mos bridges, et cetera. however, of course, a dude in the course of a war, every new weapon system is most effective when it's new, and later the other side adapts to it. so the spectacular explosions of ammunition

deposed that we've seen in the beginning. it's not, it's not very probable that we will see them again. russia has adapted and they have distributed their supplies in a way that they're less easy to it. however, it's a powerful and very precise weapon and it has a turned the tide in ukraine's favor when it was 1st used. he w, corresponded mathias pulling her in keith. the swedish coast guard is found a 4th leak in the north stream, gas pipelines that bumps it after undersea explosions were detected. scientists say the baltic sea lines could be pumping out the biggest methane release on record. questions of blame remain as both e. u and russia to mad answers. moscow is called the united nations security council meeting to address the issue. european leaders are worried about the pipeline leaks and the bank, dixie that you faced. that damage was likely caused by a deliberate act raising security concerns. but the european commission has not

said who might have been behind the suspect at separate arch. today, ms. oler's book. either everything is being done to try to identify the origin of these events or end of the explode on the north string pipeline. so we will have to get to the bottom of this before being able to say anything on the origins of these explosions is okay. and who is responsible for though sure. her location, this is extra joyless possibility. as europe largest natural gas appli norway theater, it will beef up the security of its antarctic infrastructure eastern. the events in the baltic sea have resulted in the government deciding to further strengthen our preparedness around on and offshore infrastructures to prevent another incident. enforce rowden or by the military will be more present and visible near our oil and gas installations in san enrollment. really does have warrant of retaliation for any attack on europe finnerty networks due to reveal, there is no doubt that this is very serious. it is not

a coincidence. this was planned. that is what i am or other things of discussed with the installed burg nato secretary general. because this is serious. russia says it's launching an international terrorism investigation into the leaks denying allegations it was involved related, well, you know, it's quite predictable and also predictably stupid to make such claims. i repeat once again, predictably stupid and absurd. yep. so the gas escaping from the pipelines is also an environmental consent. it contains high levels of me, teen, and authority, fear it could be the equivalent of one 3rd of denmark, stuart it, animal greenhouse gas emissions, a steady start. full portia on the franco stock exchange. javin luxury sports. com make a made its debut this morning with a price tag of really 75000000000 euros. it's one of europe's biggest listings in
