the leaders wrap up their summit with the promise to bring peace to the korean peninsula. as america deals with the aftermath of florence, today marks the one-year anniversary of hurricane maria, the worst storm to hit puerto rico in a century. we will be looking at the state of the u.s. territory. also coming up this hour, a warning that global economic growth has reached a peak and a reminder of what is at stake in a trade war. we will hear from the oecd's cheese -- chief economic -- economist. a chef from maine finds a more humane way to kill lobsters. that is by first getting them stoned. paris. story live from ♪

theresa may is making a last ditch attempt to win over her fellow eu leaders and convince them her plan for brexit will work. there are six months left until the u.k. is set to leave the the prime minister made her plea in austria. particularly the issue of the is theorder, that biggest sticking point. the rightve it is proposal because it maintains frictionless praise -- trade. only solution that delivers no hard border in ireland and delivers on the vote of the british people. >> we want there to be a transition so people can adjust to any changes that take place. we also have to have a backstop on northern ireland and ireland, one that assures us a hard

border will not emerge on our islands. the u.k. has not presented an alternative text. genie: to talk a bit more about let's bring inw, anthony mills who is covering the talks from salzburg. this border issue has become the key issue with regard to brexit at the summit. tell us about that. anthony: it really has. you have eu leaders and officials who say that 80% of the work is done on brexit. as eu councilress president donald tusk did yesterday evening before the talks began on issues related to securities. there were certain elements of british prime minister theresa may's plan that constituted progress. the sticking point really is the question of northern ireland and that of course is wrapped in the

broader issue of the trading relationship between britten when it leaves the eu, and the 27 remaining eu states. that is where the sticking point is and it does not appear to be any substantive progress on that matter. we have eu leaders coming out of the dinner yesterday after a several hour discussion about aroundon, theresa may midnight was given five to 10 minutes to lay out her view that britton had come a long way -- had come along way in meeting the eu in the middle and it was up to the eu to do the same. we have eu heads of state coming out of that dinner and this morning saying that the town was civil. there clearly -- tone was civil. there clearly is a will to compromise but it is up to great britain to compromise further. theresa may making the notion of

a border with ireland would not be acceptable. genie: the other big issue at this summit is migration. the host nation, austria, has made moves toward a tough hard-line policy. there is that division between liberal views of migration and refugee situation, and the hard-line views. that runs right down the middle of the european union and is a core element underpinning these talks. you have countries like hungary, slovakia, the czech republic, and poland where it eu leaders say they do not want to accept any migrants under a distribution scheme. a newcomer to that hard-line group is italy where the interior minister is a new hard-line addition to that group

. he has been notably not allowing migrates -- migrants to disembark from boats on italy, and they are standing firm, aligned with austria which made a hard-line migration policy as part of the political campaign that run it to power. it rules in conjunction with the far right freedom party and a rain against companies like germany and france, which although they shifted their positions slightly and agreed the external border policy needs to be beefed up, they will say eu values mean that some refugees jenna ridley -- genuinely fleeing w need to find a home in the european union, and that is a major sticking point. genie: next, north korea kim jong-un and his south korean

counterpart moon jae-in wrapped up their summit with a visit to a sacred volcano on the north korea-chinese border. this comes after the closing ceremony in pyongyang, filled with hundreds of dancers, as part of an agreement to cement the plan between the leaders to bring peace to the korean peninsula. in the journey to peace and prosperity. we promise to make our beautiful rivers and mountains and land of peace without nuclear weapons and nuclear threats. pass it on to future generations. genie: the south korean president gave a press conference after that summit wrapped up, and our regional correspondent told us more. ofce: moon reiterated a lot the points he made previously when he was in north carolina -- north korea.

he said the two sides agree that the nuclearization -- denucle arization is required. they want a peace treaty to end the war. when it comes to ending the korean war, that does not mean the withdrawal of u.s. forces from the korean peninsula. that peace treaty signing does not mean the u.s. will have to remove itself from the korean peninsula and that says to me they are signaling to washington that further steps can be taken to resume the stalled talks between north korea and the united states, with washington knowing they will not have to remove themselves from this region. he also mentioned that mountain that kim jong-un visited with moon jae-in, a sacred place for all koreans.

thousands of years ago, it is said to be the mythical birthplace of the legendary founder of the first korean dynasty. president moon has made it a point to get very close to kim jong-un but he has ultimately said talks need to continue with the united states if the two sides want eventual peace. genie: that was bruce harrison. he was president donald trump has gone to visit areas worst hit by the storm florence last president donald trump has gone to visit areas worst hit by the storm florence last week. more than 200,000 are still without power. the flooding in south carolina is expected to get worse in the coming days. and see thisutside beautiful weather, but over the next couple of days it is going to get rough in south carolina. the federal government is behind you. anything i can do, you all know where to call me. while the trump

administration is grappling with the aftermath of hurricane florence, today marks the one-year anniversary of hurricane maria, the worst storm to hit puerto rico in a century and killed nearly 3000 people, leaving much of the island without electricity for months. more now on how the u.s. territory is still reeling 12 months on. >> one year later and still exposed to the elements. the skyline in puerto rico is dotted with blue, tarps covering ripped off roofs. 12 months after hurricane maria devastated the island, residents say slow is -- help is slow or nonexistent. said, how are you still living here because the water was so high? then i got a letter saying i did not lose anything in the hurricane. over one million people in puerto rico that requested help from fema, over

50% were declined. for those that have started rebuilding, aid has been far from enough. the median renter for homes has been just $1800. >> we are experiencing the same thing. we have been able to start rebuilding but have not been able to finish because the money is not enough. >> while donald has congratulated his administration , u.s. residents of the territory tell a different story, of death, lack of medical facilities, and basic supplies. why didn'ty took it, they put another one in its place? it has been a year and they have done nothing. more than $3pent billion in aid to the island but efforts have been plagued by controversy. millions of water bottles remaining undistributed.

estimate that about 8000 people live in such places. they say the government has accounted for only 5% of funds allocated for reconstruction. a sign of a pressing need for clashedonditions, they as they tried to evict them from the ruins of the building. it was damage from the earthquake that killed thousands in 1985. genie: let's look at today's two big stories, migration and brexit are two divisive issues dominating the informal eu talks in salzburg. theresa may is asking europe to drop what she calls unacceptable demands six months before great britain leaves the bloc. a breakthrough in relations between north and south korea with a promise to bring peace to the korean peninsula. time now for a business update with stephen carroll.
