commercial aircraft steer around hurricanes, but not the hurricane hunters, including these of the usis to fly when no—one else dares, this time right into the heart of hurricane irma. the more times we pass through the eye wall, the better they can calibrate exacting where the storm is moving. you're flying through stuff no—one else flies through, it's not pretty. but all the training you do has to kick in all at once, because the plane is falling and you are just holding on looking for good air. we are back now at the bbc weather centre, and i'm joined by professor mark saunders. mark is a climate prediction scientist. he is involved in predicting hurricanes and tropical cyclones right around the world. so thank you forjoining us. just expect to me, how do we even begin to predict a hurricane season? we use computer models. between august and september, two of the key environmental fields are how warm or cold the tropical atlantic sea temperatures are in august and september, and how strong the trade winds are, blowing across the atlantic from west africa to the caribbean. and, if w

it was here in september, when hurricane irma became part of one of the most destructive hurricane seasonsand some say the most damaging since hurricanes katrina slammed into new orleans killing 1800 people over a decade ago. before hurricane irma, there was harvey. here at the bbc weather centre, we have been following the twists and turns of a remarkable and record—setting atlantic hurricane season. hurricane harvey, bound for the texas in august brought warnings of catastrophic flooding. it went on to become the usa's wetters tropical cyclone ever recorded. 4323 days, almost 12 years. that's how long it had been said a major hurricane had hit the usa. but, harvey changed all that. having rapidly intensified its mid lands formed in texas, as a category four storm, with winds of 130mph. it was the most powerful hurricane to hit texas since 1961. did you sleep? no, i secured the roof, and about 1030, there is a tree in my yard. and then their house is completely gone. but after the initial destruction, worse was to come. the storm stalled, was only slowly edging towards louisiana, still ab

hurricane record—setting atlantic hurricane season.vey, bound for the texas in august brought warnings of catastrophic flooding. it went on to become the usa's wetters tropical cyclone ever recorded. 4000 —— over 4000 days. that's how long it had been said a major hurricane had hit the usa. but, harvey changed all that. having rapidly intensified its mid lands formed in texas, as a category four storm, with winds of 130 must power. it was the most powerful hurricane to hit texas and 96 di. powerful hurricane to hit texas and 96 d1. did you sleep? no, i secured the roof, and about 1030, there is a tree in my yard. and then their house is completely gone. but after the initial destruction, worse was to come. the storm, was only slowly edging towards louisiana, still able to tap into... it became a prolific rain maker. as street is taken into rivers, the us to prescribe the situation as unprecedented. this was new hurricane territory, and houston, the fourth—largest city in the uk ah usa, was a democrat in the bull's—eye. as the deluge we

it is clear that a warmer climate means more hurricanes and more devastating hurricanes and we need to do everything to stop this. we need to make sure that the paris agreement on climate change is implemented and more. the paris agreement is not enough. be on hand commitments need to be made by countries around the world in order to make sure we are able to dominate this dramatic evolution. the un secretary general antonio guterres talking to my colleague alpa patel. and we'll have more from that interview later in this programme. luxmy gopal has more on hurricane nate. they watched it approach and now it is here. the us facing the full first of hurricane nate. winds of up to isokm/h and a storm surge is expected. it has hit the gulf coast of the states as torrential rain and flooding in parts of mississippi, alabama, florida and louisiana, where people have been ordered to evacuate. people in new orleans who remembered the devastation 12 years ago of hurricane katrina did what they could to prepare themselves for the impact of nate. the central americas already felt it with death in

i am home, i am home, i am home kelly: showed coverage of hurricane nate and hurricane nate may be as strong as some of the storms seen in recent weeks. this is a category one but it is likely to pack a punch in fox's peter is live in new orleans and peter, what kind of question that have pushed for. reporter: not much where we are here in the french quarter, kelly. curfew was only around till about 7:00 o'clock until local and that's when mayor said people should be sheltered in a place but they were free to go out in can see there are hundreds of people who are very excited that there is a camera who are now out here and join themselves on the streets of new orleans and there is still a concern in some parts of new orleans or out closer to the water of a storm surge but it does seem like life is getting basically back to normal and again this is a big change from a few hours ago during the curfew our crew walked around the entire french quarter and there was not a lot of pool activity along the river it was completely empty. we didn't see one person for several blocks that we walked

ex—hurricane,

or hurricane in the united states. and inundated houston and south texas with more than 51 inches of rain. hurricane irma became the strongest atlantic hurricane on record, before it hit the virgin islands and florida. and while these storms have been devastating, hurricane maria's impact on puerto rico and the u.s. virgin islands has been nothing less than catastrophic. mr. chairman, as you said, the scope of potential health risks that's caused by this ongoing crisis is still coming into focus, but it's clearly considerable. over a month after maria hit, the infrastructure on puerto rico and the virgin islands remains decimated. nearly 80% of puerto rico still doesn't have power. hhs reported that a substantial number of puerto rico's hospitals are either nonoperational or require generators in order to keep functioning. over a third of puerto rican residents lack reliable access to potable water. contaminated is spreading contagious diseases, and while i certainly appreciate the effort by volunteers, including physi

in 1987, it was not a hurricane again but had hurricane strength winds.ng to find on monday that the winds really start to pick up. initially close to southern ireland, south west approach, south—west england and wales, then there's strong winds. where the irish sea, such that we could see a two mile an hour gusts widely across northern ireland later on in the day. that area of low pressure is, as it is by then, going to continue moving. and continue weakening. so pressure rises, things become quieter. if you are across the eastern side of england you will probably wonder what all the fuss is about because will not be windy, it will be warm. but that low—pressure centre will be warm. but that low—pressure ce ntre m oves a cross will be warm. but that low—pressure centre moves across northern ireland, later tomorrow, then up into scotland. it drives with it 60, 70 mile an hour gusts away from northern ireland into central southern scotland, possibly by the rush hour on tuesday morning. those sort of winds, not unusual this time of year. beautifully explain

hurricane nate at this 11 p.m. eastern hour at the moment as hurricane nate is barrelling toward the gulf coast, they're looking for a second landfall. it is 11 p.m. on the east coast but it's 10 p.m. central time or local time where hurricane nate is right now. we expect hurricane nate to make a second landfall, as i was mentioning. we have a new report that has come in from noaa. nbc meteorologist bill karins is with us now. what did you learn from it? >> they said the northern eye wall was moving on shore. however strong nate is, we're going to find out in the next hour and a half. if we don't hear of really high winds or no recorded high winds in the next hour and a half, that's better news for everyone in alabama and north georgia that has to eventually go through the storm, too. still reporting 85 mile-per-hour winds. this graphic over here is the satellite view of the storm. i'm going to put on the current stats. this is the 11:00 advisory just in, says 85 mile-per-hour winds, a solid category one, it's movi

more on hurricane nate in a moment. but first, as this year's hurricane season causes widespread devastation, the un secretary general, antonio guterres is currently touring the caribbean to see the damage for himself. earlier he spoke to my colleague alpa patel and said he's increasingly concerned by global warming and its effect on the weather. well, it is horrible to see a paradise island like barbuda turned into hell. 95% of the houses have been destroyed. total devastation. the people had to be completely evacuated. this is something we are seeing more and more, there is an increasing intensity of hurricanes and increased frequency and increased devastation. the origin is clear, we are facing the consequences of climate change. we hear the most appalling stories of people who are homeless, without clean water, the hospitals are without electricity. do you think the response to these hurricanes just was not good enough? well... there is an enormous effort, first of all by the caribbean states themselves and the cari

hurricane nate is

this is the eye of the hurricane. it has now moved or begun to move on sure so we've gone from 70, 75 mile-an-hour wind gusts on that northern eye wall, which is the most potent part of this system. now things have quieted down. this is why hurricanes are so dangerous. people think the danger is over and sometimes they're just under the eye. there's not much of a southern eye wall. i think the worst is coming in now. we've been talking about the storm surge that has moved in. in fact, parts of biloxi underwater. we've been showing you some dramatic pictures that have taken in the storm surge, the gulf of mexico overtaking some areas here, including highway 90. emergency responders reporting dozens of roads underwater at this hour, as you would expect. winds gusting anywhere from 20, 40, 50 miles an hour. but again, we're going to go down to five and ten miles an hour. there in biloxi, 68 mile-an-hour winds in gulfport, 73, 74 is technically a hurricane. and the damage you'll get from a category one is what you'll be s

hurricane irma became strongestatlantic hurricane on record. hurricane maria's impact on puerto rico and the u.s. virgin islands has been nothing lessthan catastrophic. mr. chairman, as you said, the scope of potential health risks caused by this ongoing crisis is still coming into focus. the infrastructure on puerto rico and thevirgin islands remains decimated. nearly 80% of puerto rico still doesn't have power. hhs reported that a substantial number of puerto rico's hospitals are either nonoperational or require diesel to run generators. over a third of puerto ricoenresidents lack access to potable water. contaminated water isspreading contagious diseases. while i certainly appreciate the effort by volunteers including physicians and nurses volunteering their time with the teams i am concerned that poormanagement of the hurricane response at a federal level may be hindering response efforts. the federal government i believe probably does not have a complete picture of what health care challenges exist because frankly most of the island of pue

it is clear that a warmer climate means more hurricanes and more devastating hurricanes and we need tong to stop this. we need to make sure that the paris agreement on climate change is implemented and more. the paris agreement is not enough. be on hand commitments need to be made by countries around the world in order to make sure we are able to dominate this dramatic evolution. the un secretary general antonio guterres talking to my colleague alpa patel and we'll have more from that interview later in this programme. hurricane nate is expected to bring torrential rain, flooding and winds of 150 kilometres an hour to parts of mississippi, alabama, louisiana and florida. evacuation orders have been issued for some low—lying areas, including parts of the city of new orleans which was devastated by hurricane katrina twelve years ago. julia macfarlane reports. there which did approach and now it is here. the us facing the full first of hurricane nate storm surge is expected and winds of up to 150, this an hour. it has hit the gulf coast of the states as torrential rain and flooding in par

no, not related to the hurricanes, way before the hurricanes hit. the private jet trip that taxpayers paid for was for a trip to the virgin islands that included a snorkeling tour for him and his attendance at a republican party fundraiser where people appear to be invited to make republican party campaign donations in exchange for the honor of taking a picture with the secretary of the interior. if that is true about that fundraiser, that would be illegal. so the campaign legal center asked the justice department to look at that. separate and apart from the bit about him flying to and from that fundraiser and the snorkeling tour on multiple private jets paid for by the taxpayers. and that does happen to be exactly the same scandal that caused the resignation of the health secretary tom price last week but maybe this week, people don't resign over that anymore. so there is a lot going on tonight. but i want to show you something from exactly one year ago. hurricane season obviously is an annual thing and just as we're waiting on hurricane nate to be

hurricane nate made land fall within the past hour.cking it all day long and, what is the latest? >> we did see that it made land fall. the national hurricane center said it made land fall shortly after 8:00 p.m. eastern time. putting that about 5:00 p.m. our time. rite near the mouth of the mississippi river as a category 1 hurricane. winds 85 miles per hour. it's bringing heavy downpours. a tornado warning in the area. that trajectory has it passing through alabama at least through the over night hours and into tomorrow. the biggest threat is going to be the storm surge. we're talking between seven to 11 feet aboveground level for the highlighted areas. keep a close eye on hurricane nate. as it makes its trajectory. >> now to our other top story. the chp searching for a hit

hurricanes and more devastating hurricanes and we need to do everything to stop this.make sure that the paris agreement on climate change is implemented and more. the paris agreement is not enough. be on hand commitments need to be made by countries around the world in order to make sure we are able to dominate this dramatic evolution. if we could live now to north korea because president trump has tweeted about his frustrations over korea's nuclear programme. despite sanctions, the regime is pressing ahead with its programme. how concerned pressing ahead with its programme. how concerned are pressing ahead with its programme. how concerned are you about its current and future programme?” believe that it is very important, above all, to preserve the unity of the security council and keep the countries together. i think the sanctions were an important step. unity, on one hand, imports enormous pressure on north korea but on the other hand it opens the possibility and the opportunity for diplomatic engagement. i am a believer that there is no military solution for this c

remember puerto rico sustained two hurricanes not one. the first hurricane irma tooka wallop. then on the northern side of the island where a lot of their public health infrastructure is, laboratories will have to refer to admiral redd to talk more about the particulars there. but remember there were two events on puerto rico not one. that was the challenge right there from the get-go. >> thanks. >> i think that the nature of the event really is what stressed the system so much. it was so destructive. i think also some of the things that have been talked about migration of physicians and the overall waning of the number of providers is really a risk factor for damage to the public health system. >> so are you saying that the infrastructure was sufficient and that even if the infrastructure is more improved than the condition it was in, it wouldn't have mattered because the storm was so devastating? >> i think whatever amount of destruction you sustain, it is changed from what you had before. a stronger system for an event would mean you'd have a stronger system afterward. >> i

it's still a hurricane. imagine shortly we're going to watch that drop and probably by the time everyone wakes up, it will be down to a tropical storm. so here's how the path is going to look. 7:00 a.m. sunday morning. only a couple hours from now, down to a tropical storm. in central, alabama, we've been talking about the forest. we're not going to be completely done with any damage. 40 to 60 mile-per-hour gusts should be expected from eastern tennessee, central, alabama, even north georgia could get gusts in the 40 to 50 mile-per-hour range. i don't think atlanta's go having to too many problems. so columbus day, plan on a wet day. areas from pittsburgh to harrisburg, new york city. albany new york and southern new england. >> fantastic to have you here all night. >> it's nice to finally have one, a storm that didn't do considerable damage. >> we will take that to the bank. thank you so much. dwayne scott is now in the field for us. stay with us on msnb for updates throughout the night on hurricane nate. k

it has been an unusual hurricane season. it has been an unusual hurricane season.rce of nature has already devastated central america, killing at least 25. nicaragua, honduras, hundreds of people reported to be without running water. and pictures like this become all too familiar after back—to—back hurricanes, irma and maria. people in the caribbean have been left without homes, power, water. visiting to see the damage, the united nations secretary—general had this message. warmer crime its mean more hurricane is an more devastating hurricanes and we need to do everything to stop this. we need to make sure that the paris agreement on climate change is implemented, and the paris is not enough. enhanced commitments have to be made by all countries around the world, in order to make sure that we can dominate this dramatic revolution. people at newlands, who remember the devastation of katrina did what they could to propel themselves. early indications are that they have been spared the worst. the storm is turning out not to be as forceful as feared. it was thought tha

the third hurricane to hit the u.s. mainland in six weeks, second landfall near biloxi, mississippi. came in as a category 1 storm that knocked out power to more than 36,000 people in three different states. in mississippi, alabama, the storm surge has been the big concern here. you can see firefighters wading through rising water at a casino parking lot garage in biloxi. that casino and others were closed before nate's arrival. >> nate is blamed for 28 deaths in central america earlier this week. the pictures from costa reek reek rica here. >> we want to bring in martin savidge and we have ed lavandera with us. martin, let's start with you, the situation there from what you're seeing, has the storm backed off a bit. do you feel things are improving there in biloxi? >> reporter: not as bad as it was on the front side of the storm. we're on the back side now. the eye passed directly over biloxi. for about an hour, it was downright pleasant. the rain had stopped, the wind was down to a few miles an hour. it was suddenly p

includes hurricane relief. >> next, a house hearing on public health preparedness for hurricane season which comes after three major hurricanes devastated parts of texas, florida, puerto rico and the u.s. virgin islands. the commission of the fda testified about serious concerns he has regarding puerto rico since it's a major hub for drug manufacturers whose facilities have been severely damaged. this is about two and half hours. >> i'm going to go ahead and get this straight. thank you, everybody. appreciate it. we are here today to examine the department of health and human services' public health preparedness for and response to the 2017 hurricane season. in the last two months, texas, florida, puerto rico, and the u.s. virgin islands have been devastated by hurricanes. i first want to express our heartfelt sorrow for the millions of americans impacted by these devastating storms and say that all members of this committee on both sides of the aisle stand with those affected by the hurricanes. i would also like to thank dr. burgess and dr. ruiz, both members of this subcommittee, who

-- by these hurricanes. i would like to thank the members of this subcommittee who visited puerto rico and says the impact -- and see the impact that these have on our americans. has beenittee conducting oversight to the federal response to the hurricanes after harvey laid landfall. i expect our work will continue for years to come. the jurisdiction involves not just public health issues but also rebuilding the electrical grid, addressing environment of cleanup, and restoring telecommute occasion to name a few. telecommunications to name a few. they are living without power and running water. i believe we are going to be joined today by jennifer gonzalez from puerto rico. someone who knows all too well about the difficult challenges her home is facing. thank you for being here. for coordinating the federal health care response to ensuring individuals have medical treatment they need to protecting the blood and pharmaceutical supply. granting emergency waivers and everything in between. hhs has been working f

mine was not a hurricane. you're absolutely right. it was not a hurricane.on't occur here in the uk, they have to happen over tropical waters. but the one in 87 still produced hurricane strength winds, so you don't have to have a hurricane to make hurricane force winds. it can still be nasty. thank you, tom. more from you later. in 1987 there was another hurricane threatening florida. that's why we expect floyd to take a turn to the right. hurricane floyd was circling the gulf of mexico a few days before the gulf of mexico a few days before the storm here. which brings us nicely back to myth number four. the storm here. which brings us nicely back to myth numberfour. the woman who rang the bbc. the great michael fisher! give him a round of applause. after the show we do a question about that. a chance to set the record straight. —— question and answer. there was no woman caller, i made corrupt. a studio cameraman told me his mum was worrying about flying to the caribbean. —— i made her up. she asked about a hurricane that was off the florida coast and she wa

now that's a hurricane.i am hoping tom can help out here. ok, tom. please, if i give you ten quid, will you back me up? mine was not a hurricane. mine wasn't. yours was. absolutely right. it was not a hurricane. hurricanes are completely different weather systems. they do not occur here in the uk. they have to happen over tropical waters. but the one in 1987 still produced hurricane—strength winds. you don't have to have a hurricane to make hurricane—force wind, if you know what i mean. it can still be nasty. thank you, tom. more from you later. in 1987, there was another hurricane threatening florida. that's why we expect floyd to take a turn to the right. hurricane floyd circled the gulf of mexico just days before the great storm here. that brings us nicely back to myth number four, the woman who rang the bbc. the great michael fish! give him a round of applause! after the show we did a q&a session. after the show in shoreham we did a q&a session. it is a chance to set the record straight. there was no wom

they know whether it's a hurricane one or hurricane five, they are ready to go. the nrcc, the national response coordinating center is up and running since late august. they are just going to allocate another storm into the center and task it, and mission task to the appropriate agencies, and the relief will come. they are just such great professionals. america should be very proud of the work they are doing right now. kelly: many americans are very proud of them including the president of the united states who has thanked them for the work they have done. we thank you for the work you have done as well. it's not an easy task when people have lost everything in a storm and you go in and help them get their feet back on the ground. kelly: we are tracking everything about hurricane nate as it continues ripping across the gulf coast. >> we have live reporters checking in from across the region. bass pro shops - it's more than a store. it's a place with a great selection of brands you love. it's great customer service from folks who know what they're talking about. (

generation had seen more than one category five hurricane in their lifetime. in distant tree this has happened twice and notably it has happened in the space of just two weeks to deny climate change is to procrastinate to sing. it is to deny the truth we have just leave it is to mock thousands of my compatriots who in a few islands without a roof over their heads will watch the night descend on dominico in fear of sudden much like us and what the next hurricane may bring and we need to lead it has come to know that we need help i'm going to help from every single conscientious. will leader in this country anyone a leader who would sit in his own country and see the situation in dominico and not give a helping hand it would be very very unfortunate for the future of the world we as a country and as a region did not start this war against nugent would not provoke the war has come to us do you have any doubt that this was climate change no doubt the historical facts and the magnitude of hurricane will tell us that we see no bitch is washed away we say in the dry

red is our hurricane warning.e lost some hurricane watches now, thank goodness for parts of western louisiana. we lost the tropical storm watch up in metro atlanta. there will still be some downed trees, no doubt about it. take the wind speed at 90 miles per hour and couple that with its movement at 23 miles per hour, wind and wind gusts could be an issue with power outages. it picks up in speed, tomorrow night north of birmingham, sliding quickly across middle tennessee and off to the northeast. this could cause some more than just flight delays. more of a nuisance with pretty strong winds, but the rain totals look good to keep them on the minimal side. in fact, pensacola, another four inches, over four and a half in mobile, but overall, we're not seeing anything like we would if this was a slow-moving storm. the biggest element i think the biggest problem will be the surge. but most of the wind from the core is going to be east ward. so that's where you start to see the waves of surge move into the coastline up

we're following the latest on hurricane nate. the third hurricane to hit the u.s. mainland in just six weeks. and people are feeling the effects this hour. i'm george howell. >> i'm natalie allen. we'll be with you for quite a while. hurricane nate made its second landfall of the night a short while ago near biloxi, mississippi. the category 1 storm is drenching the region with heavy rains and damaging winds. >> it's knocked out power to thousands of people in three different states, in mississippi, in alabama, and in florida. one big problem, one big concern here is the storm surge. officials are warning residents don't take any chances. hurricane nate is being blamed for at least 28 deaths before it was a hurricane. this in central america. hundreds of people were rescued from flood waters and mudslides there. >> that was an impressive storm surge we were seeing a moment ago in biloxi. let's get the latest on the storm status. meteorologist ivan cabrera tracking it for us. what have you got, ivan? >> we're looking at a storm that is now inland here. george, good

hurricane nate at this 11 p.m. hour at the moment as hurricane nate is barrelling toward the gulf coast, they're looking for a second landfall. it is 11 p.m. on the east coast but it's 10 p.m. central time or local time where hurricane nate is right now.

and not only the hurricane, not only hurricane harvey and hurricane irma but also the earthquake thatin mexico in between those two storms. the point is that if we look at the whole course that the hurricanes take, the pathway, through the middle passage, there's a message even there. there's a message even when we look at how we have not become the stewards of this creation, the whole challenge of genesis, the first book of the bible in genesis chapter one verses 26 through 28 is not only that god has created us in his own divine image and likeness, but he has made us the stewards, the trustees, the lords of this earth and we have a responsibility to care for this earth and what these storms, what these hurricanes of life are saying to me that we have not been responsible stewards over god's creation. >> so bruce fine, you're a philosopher. i'm going to go a deep dive on you. will you say that the character of the nation, the moral striving of the world, is tied to these storms and the chaos that continues to pursue beyond anything that's even recognizable today? >> well, i think the

this is the worst hurricane that has impacted missince hurricane katrina. patti ann: the mayor of new orleans has lifted a and tory curfew. but people are urged to shelter in place. reporter: there was a big concern in norms which is below sea level about the potential for storm surge. people are moving back on down here to bourbon street. the bars are open again and the streets are completely packed. you can see the camera lights gets people excited. but there was a curfew in place in new orleans from 7:00 local until 8:30 local. and my crew and i were walking around the french quarter. there was very little activity. there were a handsful of shots that -- shops that were open. people were hunkered down at hotel bars. after that curfew, people did start coming out. it's a saturday night. fan from what we understand, it's still early and we expect bigger and bigger crowds to be turning out here. people listening to the curfew. but they hunkered down at the request of the mayor. but there was never that much rain. they had major problems with the drainage sy

the situation with puerto rico and the hurricane, the important thing there is the hurricane is stopping the ability of all those bonds to pay interest, because there's no sales tax, people aren't buying things. there's no electric power revenues, there's no electricity. it's heartbreaking. it's a such a great island and it breaks my heart, having been so intimately involved in it over the years. >> it is a very difficult situation. alexandra, thanks for the thoughts tonight. sue? >>> bill, the president today made his way to las vegas to visit shooting victims and praise the first responders and the medical teams who responded to the worst mass shooting in this country's history. jane wells is covering the. >> reporter: for the second day in a row, the president came to a place of heartbreak to praise those who had rushed in to help. >> americans dashed into a hail of bullets to rescue total strangers. >> reporter: he also met privately with victims of sunday night's massacre, even as investigators continue to process the well-armed lair stephen paddock created inside his las vegas hote

every hole every house in this area was it was impacted by the hurricane. every tree down. telephone lines were down and. my mind started to rescind on other communities they know it out of honorable. out of communities where you know the houses were not constructed to the construction codes. and i felt like if this area was impacted. we would have a complete national bus station. so i walked from my home town . and as i went along you could to see the device station and meeting people everybody's hope with an impact. and could see do their fair deal with trauma in the eyes of the people and the expression. so i was able to move very early into the city in different parts to look at my family and of course to look at the destruction of just total destruction and i was able to go on to have a cup till eternity to see it and fly it over the country and visit in many villages what i. what i felt would happen on a monday night tuesday morning to happen to the country. complete devastation in every street and every village in the country. as it is it is very painful to see the s

it is clear, warmer climate means more hurricanes and more devastating hurricanes.everything to stop it. the paris agreement on climate change must be implemented and because it is not enough, enhanced commitments are made by all countries around the world in order to make sure that we are able to dominate these very dramatic evolutions. theresa may has declared that she's resilient despite the setbacks she suffered at the conservative conference, and won't hide from a challenge. senior conservatives have renewed their condemnation of efforts to oust her. borisjohnson has told the party to get behind mrs may, and sirjohn major, who faced simmering rebellions when he was prime minister, has also said the disloyal plotting must stop. our political correspondent, susana mendonca is here. lots of chatter in the papers about plots against theresa may who has come out with an interview in the sunday times saying she is resilient. a difficult few days since the conference speech where she had problems with the coughing, the p45 she had problems with the coughing, the pas p

there are the hurricane warnings.you are in the red, hurricane conditions imminent as we talked about the next 12 to 24 hours. by the time you and i are talking this time tomorrow, this will be inland already with significant wind, storm surge and also the potential for flooding rains as well. what i'll do in the next half hour, break it down city by city and let you know what to expect as far as how much rainfall, storm surge and the arrival of the dangerous winds. >> another storm that's come up quickly and people are having to scramble. welcome back, good to have you with us. >> absolutely. >>> in the u.s. state of nevada, people are paying tribute to the victims of the las vegas shooting. mourners placing flowers and cards to honor the dead. 58 people dead, killed when that gunman opened fire from his hotel room sunday, making it the deadliest mass shooting in modern u.s. history. the tragedy has raised a number of questions, including why. why did he do it? here's cnn's brian todd with more. [ rapid gunfire ]. >>
