it is based on research from researchers at george washington university hero at washington, dc who lookedt a six—month period from the time when hurricane maria struck in september of last year through until february of last year through until february of last year through until february of last year. they took into account not just those of last year. they took into account notjust those in heat by debris all who drowned in hurricane maria but those who died of heart attacks and bacterial infections that have been blamed on this weather system. it is an estimate, still, but an estimate that the puerto rican government believes will now be the official, it says it will now be the official death toll for hurricane maria. to put that into context, that figure of 2975 is over 1000 more than are known to have died in hurricane katrina. the weather system that hit new katrina. the weather system that hit n ew 0 rlea ns katrina. the weather system that hit new orleans back in 2005. president trump has long had a contentious relationship with the press, and today it was social media companies he

a study was released by george washington university and putting the deaths of storm relation to nearly 3,000. 46 times more than the government's official toll. laila santiago is with me now. that's a different number than the government has. how did they find this figure of 3,000? >> reporter: well, so, this is actually a study in excess deaths. they took what they believed, george washington university, took what they believe would be the average had hurricane maria not destroyed puerto rico and then this is the excess. this is the amount above that. an they believe it's near 3,000. as you mentioned, brooke, we expect the governor of puerto rico to make a statement in just a matter of minutes from puerto rico. and the big question will be, this is a study that the government of puerto rico paid for. they paid $300,000 roughly for this study. so now will they change the official death toll to reflect that? when i asked the governor that, back in february, if they would accept the findings of this study, he told me that he plans to do so. but granted that was before he saw the findings

according to analysis by the george washington university's institute of public health, the storm claimed 2,975 lives. the puerto rican government initially said the hurricane killed 64 people. cnn's layla santiago joins us now. the obvious question is how could they possibly have such a disparity between what they initially said and this extraordinary and very tragic number? >> reporter: well, the other really big question here is will the government of puerto rico, now that this study has come out from george washington university, the official study commissioned by the government, now that it has come out with this finding of 2,975, will the government of puerto rico change its official death toll that as it stands right now is still at 64. this is a study i've had an opportunity to look over, just actually talked to researchers here at george washington university. they point out issues that led to possible death, issues with communications, issues of things that could have led to what you're saying. the government saying 64 when they believe it could be nearly 3,000. issues of commun

now a new george washington university report is estimating an actual death toll of 2,975.f confusing. this one was conducted from september 2017 to february of this year. this study was commissioned b e the government of puerto rico. what's behind the discrepancy between all of these estimates? nbc's gabe gutierrez is in puerto rico with more. >> reporter: katy, this new independent study from george washington university seems to confirm what many people here on the island already knew, that the death toll here in puerto rico was much, much higher than what the government initially let on. the initial official count was 64. that stayed current for so many months and now george washington university estimates that almost 3,000 people, 2,975 people died in the aftermath of hurricane maria. the report also found that there was a communications breakdown here in the island among government officials and that there were no proper protocols in place for this emergency response in many cases. so why the discrepancy in the numbers? for a long time the puerto rican government insi

they kept it at 64 for so long and were waiting on this george washington university report. as commissioned by the puerto rican government. it cost more than $300,000. that's why this is so significant. the george washington university is also asking for more resources to be able to look at these numbers even closer, but the bottom line is the governor of puerto rico yesterday for the first time acknowledged nearly 3,000 people died as a result of this disaster. the deadliest u.s. natural disaster in more than 100 years, and more than 60% higher than hurricane katrina. >> unbelievable, gabe. look, you were there for a long time and you saw a situation on the ground that looked very different than what both the federal government and a lot of puerto rican officials were describing. i joined you there for a few days and saw the same thing. it was hard to believe at the time that the death toll was what both the puerto rican government and the u.s. government were saying. this is an interesting and disappointing outcome. thank you, gabe gutierrez for us. >>> we're looking at mid

the revised number comes after a long awaited report of from george washington university.ong with other media outlets have raised questions about the official death count after several researchers have made it a higher number. the mayor of san juan, carmen yulin cruz who will never see the light of day. it was silently approved by most of the political class in puerto rico. >> laieyla santiago has been following this story from day one. leyla, what are we hearing from the broken government? >> tell tell you they were not prepared to handle so many deaths in this study that came out from george washington university. it says that broken government was ready with protocols for a category one storm. this new study was commissioned by the again of puerto rico. the death toll was 64 before the study came out. no power, no water, tough to have access to health care and while this may not be now the deadliest storm on record, it's certainly now in the top five with the great galveston storm from 1900 so historical context there coming out from our research as number one and it's

that report commissioned by the government of puerto rico from george washington university was due inndings. and they did put something out about the methodology in establishing the death toll, but we haven't gotten what we expected to get from that report. according to the officials i spoke to this morning, they are expected to get some information later this month, we'll have to wait and see when that happens. let's get to the bottom of why this happens. you have heard me say this before, not only is this about closure from the families of loved ones they have lost because of hurricane maria, this is about understanding the numbers so you can possibly prevent it in the future. any expert out there will tell you if you don't understand who died, what, when, where and how, there's no way of preventing in the future. that's why those numbers are so important, especially right now because we're in hurricane season and historically september is the month in which puerto rico tends to see some of these stronger storms come along and do some damage, so the timing of this is important to un

that, according to a new research report out of george washington university.cting to that shocking report. >>> first, here is a check of the forecast. >> you ever hear urban heat island? look at the heat index in new york city. it feels like 87 degrees to start the morning. washington, d.c. at 85. all the pavement and buildings, the temperatures don't cool that much. new york city didn't go below 80 degrees last night. it broke the record for the record high minimum temperature. usually a 78 is the highest it had been at nighttime. all of this leads to a very hot condition this afternoon. boston this could be the hottest day of the summer, 99 degrees with a heat index of 101. everyone in the southeast is above 100, too. the only one getting relief is chicago towards kansas city because of thunderstorms. flooding in wisconsin yesterday was horrible. now we are watching thunderstorms rolling through southern illinois. a lot of lightning in central missouri. yesterday we had a lightning fatality with a fishermen. your travel map is hot and sticky in the northeast

researchers from george washington university here in washington say the correct death toll should be 2,975. that's up from just 64. let's go to our correspondent layla santiago. she's here in washington over at george washington university. you've been doing a lot of excellent reporting on all of this. this is a massive, massive change. remember, these are all u.s. citizens we're talking about. update our viewers. what can you tell us? >> reporter: well, i just finished talking to the two lead researchers on this study, and the big question now, wolf, this study commissioned by puerto rico, has found 2,975 to be the number of excess deaths, but will the government of puerto rico now take this study, now take this number and make it the official death toll? i have reached out to the government. several hours now waiting on their response. they have not given that. i want to make clear exactly what this is. again, 2,975 is what they believe is the excess in deaths over what they believe would be average at this point had hurricane maria not gone by puerto rico, not destroyed puerto ric

researchers from george washington university now say nearly 3,000 people died in the six months following the storm. they say part of the reason for theisparitys doctors not being trained in how to certify deaths after a disaster. >> there was a number given out only a week or two after the storm that reflected deaths that were directly caused by the storm, and it was way too early, and -- and it did not look at the total counting for what might have happened over several months. >> and the researchers also discovered the risk of death was higher for older men and people in poor aas. >> a solemn sight in the senate chamber. senator john mccain's seat draped in a black drape, members e aisle sides of remembering his service and especially poignant were words from his closest friend. >> if you were loved by him, you knew it, and you were loved by all your faults and i was lucky to have him asy friend. >> memorial services for mccain will begin tomorrow in arizona. then on friday three days of local services will begin, and we've put the full schedule for you on our nbc washington app. >>> t

that's when george washington university was commissioned to look into the death toll. y, george washington university releasing that study, not only saying it should be higher, the death toll, but it should be 2,975. i mean, that is huge compared to 64 where we were when we woke up this morning. >> a figure similar to 9/11. it's the figure that stood out to me. we remember president trump, at the time of this, praised the low death toll, something of a success. did the study address that contradiction at all? >> it does. the researcher spoke with mayors, first responders, folks on the ground after this happened. they seemed to be expressing frustration with that statement in which president trump talks about the 16 deaths at the time. now, within hours of him leaving, that went up to somewhere in the 30s. there was some frustration with the interviews that those researchers did among the people in puerto rico. i want to note, the government of puerto rico was asked about this by our producer in puerto rico at that press conference. he basically said the buck stops here,

researchers from george washington university also found those from poorer backgrounds were at much higherk of being killed. president trump has claimed that google, facebook and twitter prioritise what he calls fake news and left—wing sources — to portray him in a less positive light. he suggested the big tech companies had to be "very careful". google has strongly denied the claims. several countries are calling for myanmar‘s military leaders to be brought tojustice. they're responding to a un report detailing atrocities against the rohingya minority. the report also criticised the women who effectively leads myanmar, aung san suu kyi, for not intervening to stop attacks. now on bbc news, it's time for more from the money and power season which looks at how money, and its power, shapes and reshape our lives. this week's programme looks at an ambitious and controversial plan to build private or gated cities in honduras. honduras, centralamerica. until recently, this tiny country had the world's highest murder rate. like other nations in the region, it faces daunting challenges of poverty

that's on an island of several million people well now a research report conducted by the george washington university and the university of puerto rico has determined that the number of people who were killed in the aftermath of hurricane rita actually was two thousand nine hundred seventy five and that's because this calculation includes an important definition how many people's health was impacted negatively by the hurricane or some other natural disaster after the immediate passage of the storm people who were older and presumably in poor health people who lived in poor communities and who did not have electricity or clean water or access to regular medicine were much more vulnerable and thus experience higher death rates in those parts of puerto rico the report is calling for improved during physicians when they're looking at diagnosing the cause of death after a major disaster such as a hurricane or a blizzard they're also looking for better ways of preparation for particularly vulnerable communities to make certain that there are enough emergency supplies emergency generators and other steps ta

laila, i understand the new numbers come from george washington university, a study out of there. are you learning from that? >> i spent some time today speaking with those researchers, and one of the first things they made clear that this is actually a study regarding excess death. so they basically looked at exactly how many deaths they believe should have happened without hurricane maria, and this is the excess. but even more importantly, and i've talked to you about this before, john, they established some recommendations, ways that possibly in the future puerto rico could use this information to -- to prevent deaths in the future. they talked about lack of communication. they talked about only having protocols in place for a category 1 hurricane at the time. so some interesting things when it comes to what the challenges were and what recommendations or what protocols can be put in place to possibly prevent this in the future. but let me be clear again. this is the number they believe in excess deaths. this is not a list of nearly 3,000 cases. that has yet to be done. >> all
