these communities know full well the damage that can be caused by a powerful hurricane. ng down and preparing for the worst. right until the last minute today, these shattered communities have been doing their best to prepare. if irma was a knockout punch, what is predicted next feels like a low blow. i'm homeless... for francine, it is all too much. because all the shelters are full, and this is the devastation. you notice i have on different shoes. i can't find any clothes — you notice how i'm dressed. we really need help here, because a lot of people are suffering. the harsh reality here is that all the tons of debris can't be fixed down or made safe before the next hurricane is due to hit. adding to the problems here, the drains are clogged with debris. more flooding seems inevitable. there's a lot of loose debris all over. the trees, that act like a barricade to the strong winds, all the leaves are gone. some of the trees have fallen. and the trees hold the hillsides. so, if we have a lot of rain, we're going to have some erosion, and potential mudslides. so that's a

these things can deliver a lot of power very quickly. that needs to do a lot all at once. something like this. instead of the electrochemical charging in normal batteries, this charges by electrostatic means and is called a super capacitor. no chemical reaction which can charge very quickly. this drill battery, for example, goes from zero to full and 12 seconds. you can zap and again. sounds like a pretty good name for a company, if you ask me. —— zap and go. name for a company, if you ask me. -- zap and go. it attracts energy quickly. the downside of super capacitors is they cannot store as much as lithium iron, so you wouldn't want one in a phone. they are best suited for things they need quick charging and pick, short bursts of power, like tools and toys, like the scooter. the lead acid batteries in a normal electronic scooter, lycos, will give you half an hour's right time that they will take six hours to charge. in here, we have a battery that is an easy six minutes of right time but only takes six minutes to charge and the next gene

the way the bill is currently drafted, it is absolutely a power grab by ministers. power grab. and it is a range of policy areas, it could be environmental issues, food and farming issues... absolutely, everything from equalities, food standards, consumer issues. if you think of the variety of issues the eu has it had a say on, all of those issues will be affected by these powers. and remind us why there is a lot of concern about the devolved assemblies. absolutely. the way the bill is drafted, or the power is coming back to london and places restrictions on what the devolved governments can do. there are common uk frameworks but also areas where, when power is devolved, devolved governments can go beyond that and legislate in different ways if they wa nt legislate in different ways if they want to. this bill stops that and it also potentially undermines the good friday agreement. i'm sure theresa may doesn't want her legacy to be either the break—up of the uk or undermining the good friday agreement but at the moment that is a very big risk. very interesting to talk
