>> it is time for 60 minutes line around the world. these are the headlines. landsent emmanuel macron in waterloo ahead of his trip to st. maarten today. the french caribbean island was battered by hurricane irma. mainland france bracing for a day of strikes and protests against the president's flagship labor reforms. he is hoping that will bring down france's record high unemployment.

and pressure growing on vermont to try and end violence that send more than 370,000 rohingya muslims free -- fleeing into bangladesh over the past two weeks. up, in business, u.s. banks and insurers are breathing a sigh of believe as damage from hurricane irma comes in under expectations. and a giant mexican toddler over the border wall with the u.s.. more on the installation with the artist. first in france, protesters are back in the streets today. unionsfrance's biggest and left-wing voters are fighting the president's new labor reforms.

there are due to be over 150 protests across the country in cities like marseille, nice, lyon, and nantes. now inat that protest the heart of paris. what more can you tell us about what is happening there so far one hour before this is due to begin? go beforene hour to these protesters start marching off to the south of paris toward libertie.de people have put up placards, brandishing flags and banners, saying no to social regression, no to social dumping. they want president macron to scrap his orders. the president is using executive orders to try to fast-track the labor reform, but these protesters say it is too brutal. there was no social dialogue.

it is true the french government has consulted labor unions over the summer before it came out with its five degrees about the labor reform but some of these protesters are not satisfied with the outcome of those meetings. we talked to a garbage collector who told us there is no point believing emmanuel macron. he told us he was a former investment banker, does not trust him. we spoke to another person who said he did not vote for macron in the presidential election but only wanted to prevent marine le pen from the far right from winning. he says he does not necessarily agree with his economic reforms. the protesters say the french government is chipping away at their cherished labor rights. they say with this reform, it will be easier for employers to get rid of staff more easily, to fire them, and higher them more easily.

they also say emmanuel macron is taking away their right, they are fighting against social regression. says thesegovernment reforms will actually help boost the business activity and will allow france to become more competitive and fight against the unemployment rate, which is at 9.5% at the moment, almost double that in germany or britain, for example. that unemployment rate is really the crux of the problem. have you been asking any of these people who have turned up today if they have a better way to try to fix it? to be honest, they don't really have a concrete answer to bring forward, but they say they are convinced emmanuel macron's way forward is not the right way. they say it is too brutal and there has been no social dialogue.

the way he is using executive orders, that is what they don't agree with. emmanuel macron recently said in a speech that he would fight against -- that he would not yield to lazy people. for many of these people we talked to, they said they felt directly insulted by the french president and said it was outrageous for emmanuel macron to come up with such strong words against french workers. they say he is completely disconnected from the ordinary french families. .> thank you for that keeping an eye on those protests in paris, kicking off in about one hour. the french president himself is out of the country today. he has gone to the french caribbean islands to look at the damage from hurricane irma. he landed in guadeloupe a where he is now and will also be going to st. barts and st. maarten.

dutch, half french island was the worst hit, leaving 10 dead and many areas completely devastated. macron will go to st. maarten to oversee relief efforts but his government has already come under pressure for not doing enough. many residents say they have not had enough help with homes, hospitals, and schools line in ruins. a long wait for baguette in this neighborhood. this bakery is the only shop to have survived hurricane irma. there is anger at the authorities. >> we are as french as anyone. we need help there is no one here. >> i don't know what the government is doing. we need help in every neighborhood. you understand? we are poor people. people will start to get angry. >> some of the worst scenes are here in the district, one of the islands poorest.

people here say they have been abandoned by france. >> today, we don't have much, but tomorrow, we will have nothing. nothing. we are just here waiting for aid. rather than looking down on us from your cities come a pointing fingers saying look at them looting, why don't you come here and ask us what we need? and00,000 food rations million liters of water are being distributed on st. maarten. until they are delivered, it is a case of neighbors helping each other the best they can. to talk more about this now, i enjoyed on the set by armin george. we saw a lot of angry people in st. maarten. emmanuel macron facing a lot of criticism on the strip for not doing enough fast enough. >> almost all the political parties in france said they were

not happy with his response in the immediate aftermath of this hurricane, so, indeed, he is expected now to show that he cares, that he is close to the people in this french overseas territory, which does not get that much attention in the paris media. particularly given the way he has rebuffed criticisms, for example, this one woman from st. maarten yesterday, and not really seemingly listen to what she was saying about the difficulties of people who have family there, the people who do not go there just for holiday. i think it's very important, of course, for him to show right now that he understands on a human level what is going on. in that answer to the woman, he gave figures -- we had 300 police at first, then 400, this

is what the state is doing. it seemed little bit cold as an answer. i think he will need to change tack, with a way that he directs with the grounds. >> also getting criticism on mainland france for having taken off to the french caribbean on this day, the first day of the massive street protests against him. couldn't not go to these islands, given the state of the devastation. it happens to fall when these protests are happening, but these have been planned for a while. pressure,nitely under is the opinion polls have fallen. the latest poll from a sunday newspaper has quite a pollscular fall in the for him to months into his presidency, much bigger than the equivalent fall for his two previous predecessors at this stage. it highlights the fact that this

whole project, sometimes called , is based on just one person, and perception is based around him. that can be problematic or things down the line. perhaps he is not in as much trouble as some of the pundits are saying. managed tohe has negotiate with some of the unions to the point where they are not participating in these strikes. the cgt is a hard left union leaving this. they are obviously in alliance the main far left opposition in this country. governmentr, his held very long and quite detailed negotiations for at least two months to make sure there would not be a union front against him at this point. you could argue he has actually

handled things in a little more savvy way then perhaps his predecessors when it comes to this issue of flexibility in the labor market. >> indeed, thank you for that. let's go back to hurricane irma, which may have weakened to a tropical depression but is still pounding the united states. georgia has been hit with torrential rain and powerful gusty wind, sparking flooding in coastal areas there and in south carolina. irma first made landfall in florida as a category four hurricane with more than 7 million people losing power due to the storm. with irma blowing further north now, millions forced to evacuate are starting to go home. irma was heavily felt in these parts, but some locals in miami beach are already back in action assessing the damage. everybody took the right precautions, evacuated properly,

but it did not hit us as bad as we thought. we are on the east side. we just got more wind. the westside was what was impacted the most. >> twisted metal bears witness to the powerful gusts of wind that tore through the streets in miami. hundreds of municipal agents are already at work to get the city cleaned up and running again. this business owner tells us he is thrilled. >> thank god. >> the hurricane spared his property but it will be a while before he reopens. >> first to assess everything and then get everything cleaned up, and then probably within two days, get everything set up and hope to be open if the city allows it, certainly by friday. >> even the miami did not bear the brunt of the storm, city officials are taking a cautious approach and allow people to return. the partial closure of this main

thoroughfare that connects downtown miami with miami beach, a decision made by local authorities is a clear indication that life is not back to normal yet. scene is played out tens of kilometers south. locals trying to go home in the keys, but officers are not letting anyone through. it is a source of frustration for those who are eager to find out if their homes are still standing. the entrance into the keys, we will try to remove all the debris, fences have fallen down. ,o until they remove everything electrical wires, all of that, they will not let you in. >> they say we will do it until friday. now we are stuck. impressive int as florida as experts predicted but it was not without any consequences either.

the un security council is set to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the violence in myanmar. britain and sweden as for the meeting after the u.n.'s rights chief said what looks to be a textbook case of ethnic cleansing underway. muslims,000 rohingya have been driven out of the country over the past two weeks. douglas herbert told us more. >> hundreds of thousands have already been in bangladesh. this is not a store that started on august 25. hundreds of thousands have fled since then but you have had persecution for decades. in bangladesh him a you have a situation where you have what you call of lucky refugees who have been able to get out. a lot of them are dispersed and unable to flee. hundreds of thousands are in these refugee cans, others in refugee settlements. some of them are living by the

roadside without any access to toilets, food, clean water. the bangladeshi prime minister visited one of these refugee camp, horrified at the situation. assured that bangladesh would be given temporary aid, financial support to these refugees. and also blasting the regime in atrocities,the urging the country to take these rohingya back. myanmar does not even recognize them as citizens, considered to be a legal immigrants from bangladesh. they are stateless, essentially. will say this, india, a completely opposite reaction. the prime minister was recently aunganmar, visiting with san suu kyi, the nobel laureate who has been notably silent on this issue. basically suggesting that india

could be on the verge of refugees,its rohingya of which there are many thousand. india has historically been welcoming of refugees. now you have a buddhist majority party leading india now. they have looked dimly on the presence of this muslim minority presence. a lot of people see them as potential terrorists, feel they can be radicalized by pakistan, and then seen as a national security threat to be used against india. the ones in india right now are n extremely tenuous situation. a lot of the rohingya there are saying, if it comes to going back to myanmar or staying under persecution here, we would rather stay here. next, the popular french artist and activist known as jr as a new installation at the

u.s.-mexico border. it is certainly turning heads and he hopes creating dialogue. turning peekaboo into a political statement. this latest piece by the french artist who goes by the pseudonym of aatures a photo one-year-old peeking over the border wall into mexico. 624 kilometers south of san diego. the work was directed the same week the trump administration announced it would put an end to daca, the program that allowed immigrants brought to the country illegally as children to stay in the country. >> it's amazing that that piece of art creates more dialogue because the idea itself is to raise questions. i don't have the answers, and by listening to the answers, how do people feel about it on the inside and elsewhere, i get to learn about it. >> his mother says the portrait of her son captures the flurry

of emotions migrants experience trying to cross over the border. see the mural interpret what is happening, the pain, sadness, the desperation they feel, in that innocent babyface. that makes me say wow. >> the trump administration is continuing to accept proposals to build a wall along the 2000-mile-long border. an idea supported by a number of americans living on the u.s. side. >> we need a bigger border fence. we have had things stolen from our property. we live next to the border. walls ors there are no borders for this boy. the installation will be there for one month. >> time for our business update. we start with the u.s., where the insurance industry is taking stock of the damage from two major hurricanes in short succession. >> breathing a sigh of relief

right now. while hurricanes harvey and her merry topic in the caribbean, the damage to the continental u.s. has been less than expected. that is not to say that they have been mild. moody's analytics estimating the storms have caused $200 billion in damage, with an up to $30 billion lost to disruption in the economy. but that is a far cry from earlier estimates which warned of 300 billion dollars in losses alone from irma. that scale was avoided when the storm weekend making landfall and avoid a direct hit on miami. had irma hit miami head on, analyst say the losses could have been double. insurers are relieved. how are the markets reacting? >> the european index is tricked. rentalsheavy increment does its business in the u.s., they posted a second-quarter revenue bump and expecting

another increase from hurricane rebuilding. in parents, up over .6%. the frankfurt dax, up about half a percent. coming theny biannual frankfurt motor show is on the way. one segment seems to be charging ahead of the rest. >> electric vehicles bringing a spark to the show, not just companies but entire nations making it clear the future will be measured in kilowatts. >> this year in frankfurt, combustion engines are out and electric is in. two years after companies, including volkswagen, admitted to falsifying emissions from their diesel cars, the focus now unsurprisingly, is on the electrification transition. norway, france, and the u.k. have about to switch to a wholly electrically within the next 23

years. volkswagen has announced a 20 billion euro investment to bring out a new electric vehicles by 2025. the companies ceo says the new challenge now is the infrastructure. >> everyone is asking when electric cars will be the norm but it is not just about what is being offered, it is also about charging infrastructure. we have started an initiative together with porsche, mercedes, bmw, and ford. we have stated we are committed to building a network of charging stations across european motorways. year, the company showcasing a number of electric concept cars, including a new version of its self driving centric model and updates to its id range. although german companies have faced criticism for not adopting electrification as quickly as others. >> i think the germans could have been more proactive, but in

the end, it is making a business case, getting the best margins, best utilization of technology. it seems really is the future, one the public can get a glance of in frankfurt until september 24. day today,pple's big launching several models, but that launch actually has samsung excited as well. >> apple is expecting to launch the flagship iphone x for the 10 year anniversary. one of the big selling points will be the edge to edge oled screen. the thing is, the only supplier capable of filling those orders is samsung. rumored $1000 , $130 of that g will go to samsung for the screen.

samsung controls the production for 90% of the industry's oled screens, so if the iphone is a hit, one of their rivals get a big piece of the pie. >> a bit of irony there. things were watching. time for the press review. taking a look at what papers have been saying today. lots of focus today on hurricane irma, the aftermath, the havoc it wreaked in florida, but some papers are saying this morning a major catastrophe was in -- avoided. >> indeed. thousands of homes have been damaged and at least 12 million people are without electricity, putshe washington post" it, it could've been worse. hurricane irma had weakened to a code-33 hurricane when it hit the state and then shifted west, avoiding major cities like miami.

also facing criticism here in france, hundreds of thousands of people taking to the streets to protest labor reforms. could paper says macron be facing his first major test as president. to president is trying implement too many reforms at once, the paper says, as his popularity continues to fall. they say it is not only a risky strategy but it could weaken him in the long-term, undermining his inability to implement reforms. writes theive paper reforms are necessary to turn the page on decades of high unemployment. it argues, whether you like it or not, reform the country's labor code is the only way to create jobs and give young people a better future. >> let's move on to the philippines where there is an specialw with the un's rapporteur on the judicial killings in the philippines.
