we're turning 100% of our focus on search, rescue, and recovery. usualsted by warmer than gulf of mexico. residents described wind that roared like jet engines. storm passed, they came out to inspect the damage. she watched her roof can then when a tree came crashing through her kitchen. i looked in there and said i'd better get out of this kitchen. we heard all the trees snapping and everything. it sounded like a tornado. u.s. president donald trump declared a state of emergency across the state and would tour the devastated areas next week. victims thatr the hit indonesia will officially end tomorrow.

with 5000 more still missing. in the hardest hit areas, the brute force of the quake is in the phenomenon known as liquefaction turning the soil in the quicksand. such zones would be left as mass graves and monuments would be erected to commemorate the missing. is help then do now families get back on their feet. >> the devastation displaced over 80,000 people. 200,000 are in dire need of humanitarian assistance. nations in immediate relief for those in need. the secretary-general is due to two the disaster zone on friday. >> malaysia's government agreed

to abolish the death penalty. the death penalty is currently foratory in malaysia murder, kidnapping, possession of firearms, and drug trafficking. it is carried out by hanging a legacy of british colonial rule. china's northwestern region has officially legalized what it calls its education and training centers. this legislation is linked to the detention of suspected extremists and anti-terror camp's. others held in internment camp's. these have existed for some time now. what is the change making them official?

>> it is more clarification than legalization. the country does go by the rule of law which is very important for beijing. before and existed they have the right to, in their own words, reeducate people that have been influenced by eckstrom is him. -- extremism. they can use what they call vocational training centers to reeducate these people. camp's.y, reeducation china is no longerenying these camps like they did in the past.

they are justifying what the cancer for saying that is the way that they fight terrorism. this is how they fight those that have been influenced by deadly ideologies, in their own words. several state media outlets here in china have talked about a whoaign to liberate others have pointed out that the most important human right is security. are in these camps and what are they going through on a day-to-day basis? >> it is said that about one million ethnic uighurs and other muslim minorities in shen chang are held in these camps and these people are often separated from their families arbitrarily and t into detention where they are basically taught to completely forget their uighur culture and buy into the culture

of the hot majority and the ideology of the chinese communist party. they are going through a certain process of brainwashing where they are told to sing praises to the communist party throughout andday and to keep doing it if they don't, they are subject to punishment. here is basically to annihilate uighur culture and the race any trace of islam in that culture. this has caused international coemnation wh reports by human rights panels of experts in the united nations and as well as the u.s. congressional committee on china. >> international pressure is stepping up to find a saudi journalist who has been missing since he went into the saudi

consulate in turkey next week. saudi arabia said the washington post journalist and critic left the consulate shortly after arriving but has given no proof to back that up. it also strains the relationship with turkey. neither friend nor foe but a little bit of both. saudi arabia and turkey have an increasingly fraught relationship. with the arrival of foreign policies, the history of close ties is on the rock's. they have strains before. the government is strongly supporting both nations.

turkey tries to maintain its place at the table. it could further complicate things. >> and number of occasions. rlly topple things over into a new time a frosty relations. >> saudi arabia invested over $1 billion in turkey last year. and there is tourism. they spent heavily. when it comes to property, the saudi's are the number one foreign wires in turkey. the kingdom is a major market for turkish companies.

the weight will be tested if an investigation proves the saudi's had a hand in the journalists disappearance. erdogan would have to decide between business and his nation's sovereignty. >> a spacecraft was forced to make an emergency landing. it had a russian and u.s. astronaut onboard. the crew is safe and sound and landed in kazakhstan with a successful launch taking place. the french language is being celebrated today at a summit in armenia. french president emmanuel macron spoke to the countries around the world. some say it is just a holdover from france's colonial past. here's more from the french president. are 84 nations from seas.to south, across all

and among these nations, there is not just one nation, there are a few nations critical from above. we have perhaps done it too often. and i'm looking at myself first and foremost. do they have all the answers? they don't. live with natalia. what else has been happening at the french-speaking summit today? the opening ceremony, there are all different speeches. he disturbed president macron who explained the vision he had for the international organization. he said it should leave the globalization and most will have an educational role, giving all

the chances to the young people to have greater and better access to technology and to education. hand, she has a very different point of view about that she played. they want the more economic and political roles. there are already two different points of view and opposing it openly and it will certainly have a lot to do tomorrow during the vote when the new secretary-general of the franco funny will be elected. >> you're watching france 24. florida has been hit with his worst storm in 80 years. michael running up path of destruction as a goes inland for

georgia, leaving at least two people dead. and donald trump says the u.s. is demanding everything from saudi arabia on the disappearance of the saudi journalist from inside a consulate istanbul, calling it a very serious situation. time now for business news. you have been looking at this massive selloff on the global market. >> it is being called a global market meltdown by some. the biggest stocks you seen since affecting markets from new york to tokyo. taking over rising interest rates and u.s. china trade tensions. shanghai composite had its worst day in more than two years and is now back at a level last seen in 2014. heavy selloff across the markets. 9% in trade earlier and as

take the it tends to whole market and that's not what happened today. the picture on the european markets a short time ago that falls across the board. all the european markets trading down over 1%. all getting in on this global market selloff. let's get a better idea of why all this is happening. michael, put this in context for us. days, is thisbad a regular bad day or a very bad day? >> no worse than the falls we saw at the beginning of this year when markets sold off quite aggressively. let's not forget this is only the second day of the declines and the headlines will be around the decline in u.s. markets with president trump's comments about the federal reserve last night.

there are a multitude of things driving this selloff and higher interest rates in the u.s.. that is part of what is interesting about this. it doesn't seem there is one moment that caused a selloff. with her fact that stood out for you that pushed markets in this direction? >> i think the approach of earnings season later this week, look at u.s. markets and how they've outperformed. any given the fact that there seems to be no signs whatsoever of the president raining back his trade war rhetoric with china, there is a concern that these earnings adjustments that we could be seeing coming out of u.s. companies could be toward the downside. the tariffs can at the beginning of september or the end of september. the likelihood there is that if

president trump hasn't resolved this issue, you get the 25% tariff kick in at the beginning of january and along with that, the locations we have seen, the relationship between italy and the european union and concerns about emerging-market, they put all of those together in a blender and ultimately, you have a little bit of risk aversion coming out of the top. how do you feel about donald trump saying this is a much-needed correction? you cast your mind back to 2009, we haven't seen a 20% correction for u.s. markets. it is pretty much than one way and a little bit of terror in february when we saw 10 to 15% declines and in europe, we have seen significant declines. we are back at levels we last saw in january 2017.

we haven't really seen a correction in u.s. markets and i think it will be interesting to see how these declines play out, opening quite significantly and 30 points lower on the s&p 500. it only takes us back to the middle of the summer. i think it really depends whether or we continue to see declines over the course of the next few days. >> do we have much further to go before we hit a bottom on this? >> where only three days into this particular decline and we didn't really bottom out until the middle of march. i think it is likely to remain volatile and it will be sometime before we get an idea of where the base is. i'm not sure we're quite there yet. >> thanks for that. to wrap up, the owner of snapchat is getting into

scripted television. it >> snap is partnering with viacom and nbc universal to create content for the platform. the videos will be longer than 10 seconds. ads. will be six second one called endless summer that follows online influencers and another called the dead girl detective agency which snapped his describing as a darkly comedic supernatural soap opera. >> so many words in there. it's now time for the press review. >> joined me on set for a look at what the papers have been saying today. >> an important state election held this weekend in the german state of the very up. >> taking place in the german state of bavaria.

on to 13 million people, it boosts unemployment rate of under 3%. the party really responsible for this success ruling in the state , that is angela merkel's coalition partners. they are predicted to get a drumming in these elections and lose their absolute majority for the first time in history. the party has been really a victim of its own success. it is a religious conservative party that has brought great economic progress but refused to acknowledge the changing social dynamics. the party just doesn't reflect their ideals anymore. saying it is a handling of the crisis. >> they say he is not tough enough.

and he did talk tough on migration and was forced to align with angela merkel's open-door policy. at the same time, this is a man thats famous for saying they need crucifixes and not headscarves. he has pushed away the liberal voters. they could destabilize angela merkel's national government. the far right party is set to make gains as has been a trend worth seeing across europe. the parties emerging as the liberal choice, the alternative choice and have been able to focus on domestic issues and are expected to take 11%. >> now to armenia where the french president macron spoke at the french-speaking summit.

>> the francophile countries like armenia, promoting the french language and culture. they say they can't really shake off the cliche of being an organization, a neocolonial organization wielding influence over the former colonies. preparing this to the british commonwealth saying that francophone countries don't have enough power to counterbalance. >> let's move onto a scandal in the profession of wine tasting. is one of those elusive gilded institutions that few can dream of entering. they're responsible for the world's hardest winetasting tests. a blind test that successful somalia's will identify by vintage, region, and origin.

only 274 people have passed the test. it is a figure that will uncork you. an advanced somalia earns about $90,000 a year. somalia earns $164,000 year. 23 people were stripped of their thee, someone had leaked contents of the blind tests. it could be an example to behind the schedule that has shaken the industry to its wine swilling core. >> and the stephen hawking scientific paper? his careerst of tried to determine what happens to information when objects fall into black holes. thatt einstein argued there was mass and spin but hawking added temperature to that. he was working on this paper when he died and has been published by his peers. >> mark hamill has held a street

artist for painting the lake carrie fisher the ultimate tribute. >> he was walking the street of street in thes heart of paris. and on that street, he saw a true b to the lake carrie fisher who played his sister, princess leia. is artwork of carrie fisher as princess leia. a mark hamill has been pushing for fisher to get her hollywood boulevard star. he said paris has an entire street dedicated to princess leia. >> you can get a closer look at our press review on her website. that is france 24.com. next, could scratch cards and lottery tickets be the secret to

saving hundreds of french chateau's. the answer in the next french connection coming up after the headlines. stay with us.
