the mounts bay is carrying equipment including helicopters, as we see here.all slow response to the disaster. the international development secretary, priti patel, has been setting out what aid the uk government is sending. we are sending out buckets, solar equipment, practical equipment that people need straight after a terrible hurricane, the type of disaster that we have seen. so there isa disaster that we have seen. so there is a range of equipment that is going out, it's being deployed. we have seen a c—17 fly from brize norton carrying a range of equipment. it's very much the type of kit, shelter kit, power kits, also buckets that will help provide water, water purification that people need after such a disaster like a hurricane. and this is actually being driven to gibraltar? what we are doing today is, we are going to send out this equipment, we are looking at how we are going to get it out basically, to the caribbean in the most effective way. we are also looking at chartering flights so some of this equipment could go on charter flights today to get

i heard about the work that rfa mounts bay and the troops and military personnel on mounts bay have undertakento the hospital. they have rebuilt emergency shelters. our military personnel, our troops, emergency shelters. our military personnel, ourtroops, have been working around—the—clock there and we owe them a great debt of gratitude. those troops from rfa mounts bay are assisting the governor of the british virgin islands, who has declared a state of emergency there. they're working to ensure that the airfield there is serviceable, so that military aircraft can be flown in with further supplies. every effort is being made to ensure that what can being made to ensure that what can be done, as much as possible, can be donein be done, as much as possible, can be done in advance of hurricane jose, which is the next hurricane reaching that area. at the cobra i heard directly from our consul general in miami about the support being given to british nationals living in florida and also british tourists in florida. we are working with the us authorities to ensure that every support is available an

on-board mounts bay we have 170 people.barking more people this evening as we speak, another 100 combat engineers. we'll probably end up with about 300 people. and what are your priorities first of all? my priorities, as always, our humanitarian aid and disaster relief, saving lives. we spent the day in anguilla shortly after the storm passed, we did lots of good workfare, and storm passed, we did lots of good workfa re, and we storm passed, we did lots of good workfare, and we spent two days providing water, food and assistance to the outlying islands of the british virgin islands. we have pictures of some of the work that you've been carrying out, that the ministry of defence has shared with us. ministry of defence has shared with us. how much can you get done in such a short space of time? mounts bay is really a blue light service. we can do as much as we can with what we've got, we always do as much as we possibly can. clearly, time is short, and our resources in some areas are short. but we've always done as much as we

so we had mount bay with us hurricanes. so we had mount bay with us for a matter of hours.f aid was deposited with us. a lot of aid was deposited with us. a lot of repair work was done very, very swiftly a nd of repair work was done very, very swiftly and efficiently. then they had to move on, as you know our sister islands of bvi and turks and ca icos have sister islands of bvi and turks and caicos have been hit. hurricanejose was hot on the heels of that as well. i'm glad to hear that's now deflected northwards. we are simply suffering from the periphery of that storm. and then in terms of the hospital, which you told me was a very small facility, i think 32 beds. that's correct. has anyone stayed behind to offer assistance, doctors, numberses and so on —— nurses and so on? not as yet. gibraltar has donated assistance. that's winging its way across the atla ntic that's winging its way across the atlantic now. again, mount bay will return to the island, i understand. we've been given provisions. we are quite resourceful people. we've been using the resources that have been

and so on friday we put some marines of hms mounts bay, or royal auxiliary ship mounts bay to protect governor and everything else about law and order. i'm pleased to say that, 24—hours later or 48—hours later, we have been able to significantly reinforce the marines. we thank and welcome more than 700 british troops and 50 police officers have been sent to the british virgin islands after they were battered by the most powerful storm recorded in addition, 20 tonnes of aid and £32 million is a start million is a start, but there must be more and we must ask the foreign secretary to provide details of additional help to come. however, mr speaker, this is too little and too late. there is real concern about the lack of preparedness by the uk government in responding to the hurricane. the severity of hurricane irma had been predicted and there was time to prepare, but the uk government did not do so. the minister should know that my constituents, christine and tony, they are in their early and late 70s, have been stranded on st martin now since the hurricane. desperately worried family h

the royal navy ship the rfa mounts bay has arrived in the rfa mounts bay has arrived in the region, andr emergency management agency, and he is in antigua this morning. thank you for your time. could you give us your summary of how the caribbean and those areas you are looking to have infected? it has been a really split story. many islands were virtually untouched. this is the biggest storm to hit the caribbean since the beginning of storm is being recorded, so this is enormous. u nfortu nately, being recorded, so this is enormous. unfortunately, as you know, some of the islands on the northern leeward side have been really badly hit, like anguilla, barbuda, and as far as we know, the british virgin islands have also been really badly hit. there have been committed issues of those places. —— communication issues in those places. we are hoping to be on the ground in the british virgin islands tomorrow morning. the ship, the mounts bay, was in anguilla this morning and delivered the first assistance. they will be moving to the british virgin islands to get a better picture of the needs t

we had raf mounts bay in the area the whole time.response has been very good. what we are trying to do is get those islands back upon bare feet. they have had a terrible time. don't forget, we have another hurricane to go through, hurricane jose. forget, we have another hurricane to go through, hurricanejose. we need to make sure we don't put in supplies and kit and bring in more aeroplanes at a time when those huge winds are building up again. it has been an event on a scale i don't think we have had since the 1850s, two huge category four hurricane is moving to the caribbean in that way. it has, as you know, cause substantial devastation and it is now on its way to the turks and ca icos now on its way to the turks and caicos islands the florida is in the path of the storm. you have the foreign office crisis centre, they have been running the many days now, working to get the messages out to holiday—makers, the people on those islands about what they need to do. you have across government, a group coordinating with the mod, the resp

the royal naval ship, mounts bay, respond to this crisis.oyal naval ship, mounts bay, is already in the caribbean and should reach the affected territories later today. the ship carries royal marines and army engineers and her primary task is the protection of our overseas territories. she is loaded with a range of equipment, vehicles, tense, stores and hydraulic vehicles specifically intended to response to disasters like this. in addition, differed stands ready to charter flights to deliver additional supplies as appropriate. i spoke last night to the london representatives of the british virgin islands. i was in our prices centre yesterday afternoon and again late last night and have been based there this morning. at 8:45pm last night the foreign secretary spoke to anguilla's chief minister and the foreign secretary tried but was unable to contact the premiere of the british virgin islands last night but my noble friend has been in contact with governor this morning. we will be working in support of the overseas territories governments to

mounts bay is the ship permanently based here.o be within 24 hours of the overseas territories. it is christian in london, we are tracking maria and it looks as if it is going towards turks and caicos islands to will you be going in that direction? i had just come from turks and caicos islands. i got my disaster team ashore. we did a lot of good work there. we came through turks and caicos islands and cleared lots there. some of these bigger islands have been used as bridgeheads for the relief effort but given they now have their own crisis, will this hamper the wider effort around the region? ... resupply hamper the wider effort around the region? resupply port... they might have infrastructure problems. we might have to resupply elsewhere. we might have to resupply elsewhere. we have got most of that, the line was breaking up but understandable given the conditions. thank you for being with us and best of luck. immigration has been a key theme in the run up to this sunday's election in germany. angela merkel says she has no qual

at present we know that the rfa mounts bay is in location. it is in the islands now.plane has landed at our airports. the department of disaster management is running out of the hospital and is starting to provide relief to residents, although the process is very slow. with hurricane jose pass into the north of the virgin islands, everyone isjust making sure that they are safe. we spoke to a gentleman who was trying to coordinate some sort of relief effort through porter ricco, but he was hinting that things were pretty bad shape there and he was pointing to what was going on at the hospitals. what do you know about how the hospitals are coping? at present, our communication is very minimali present, our communication is very minimal i can't speak with any accurate information. i know from friends who are medics who are in the uk who work for our hospital services that the hospital has been inundated from people seeking shelter and medical assistance. this is why it is so important that continued aid and medical assistance is sent to the british virgin islands as soon

that is not true, the french did not have any kind of ship like mounts bay.hat troops were already in addition. —— in position. we have local police forces on these islands, but our response has been as good as anybody else's. i can tell you that the french have asked for our assistance in lifting troops and material to some of their islands. we have two to three flights going out each day bringing more and there is plenty more on hurricane irma on our website: bbc.co.uk/news. sport now, and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. sir mo farah has won the great north run for a record breaking fourth time in a row... the four time olympic champion took the lead in the half marathon distance with 200 metres to go and crossed the line in south shields in a time of one hour and six seconds. farah retired from the track last month to concentrate on road racing, and after a couple of weeks since his last track race, he says his lack of training definitely had an impact. it was definitely telling, four miles to go i was gritting my teeth. i managed to believe in

in addition, the royalfleet auxiliary mounts bay is continuing to provide the mod mush needed supportso the british virgin islands. much more on effo rts british virgin islands. much more on efforts to help the caribbean there. let us take a look at the weather here with ben rich. good afternoon. nothing near as bad as we are seeing over the atlantic. quite a few showers out there in england and wales. some starting to turn heavy with flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder. the showers will be fading from northern ireland and scotland. a drier story then for the rest of the afternoon. spells of sunshine. i7 the rest of the afternoon. spells of sunshine. 17 in glasgow, possibly reaching 19 in london. most showers will fade later. dry with clear spells for the most part. central and eastern areas, a chilly start. there could be the odd fog patch and even a touch of grass frost here and there. tomorrow, central and eastern areas starting on a bright note. early sunshine but cloud rolling in from the west. some really heavy showers blown in ona some really heavy showers blown in on a

that is not true, the french did not have any kind of ship like mounts bay.ey have the advantage of having troops, they garrison their overseas territory, so that troops were already in addition. we have local police forces on these islands, but oui’ police forces on these islands, but our response police forces on these islands, but oui’ response has police forces on these islands, but our response has been as good as anybody else's. i can tell you that the french have asked for our assistance in lifting troops and material to some of their islands. we were hearing about how the hurricane is hitting the florida keys. tell us what to situation is: ? it was a very short night, needless to say. the eye was about 25 miles of key west, and where i live is five miles of key west so i think it will go over the top of us in the next couple of hours. the whole house was shaking. it is actually kind of scary, but i know we are safe, it was built for this. our shutters are down, we have fired up the generator to make coffee and we have still got tv. tv and coffey, fant

the fact is we had a royal naval vessel mounts bay in the region because we knew the hurricane was coming season and we are always prepared. this is one of a number of rafjets heading to the region. in all there will be 300 royal marines on the ground over the space of the next two or three days. but even when they arrive there, no one is fully clear yet what their operational role is going to be and where they can get to. the race to get help to the people of the caribbean involves operations from more than a dozen countries. we will talk more about the british response in a moment. haiti is still recovering from hurricane matthew that devastated the south of the country a year ago and is facing considerable problems again. let's talk to the director of care. explain for our viewers what the wages facing haiti is right now? what we saw overnight was a lot of flooding and especially in the eastern part of the country. a large bridge has been washed away and there is significant flooding. we arejust being there is significant flooding. we are just being able to get out to the areas in the

as i say, to start with, we pre—positioned mounts bay, she came into anguilla the moment the hurricanehere are guys hear that had very little warning came out. we had to go to the immediate priority, and for us, it was the british virgin islands. it was clear that was the most devastated of the three overseas territories. understood. that was friday into saturday, and did what we could to support. that was friday into saturday, and did what we could to supportlj that was friday into saturday, and did what we could to support. i know you are a taxi driver, i know you have a home that was completely destroyed, how are you surviving?m is really hard. every day, waking up in the morning, we have to get up and get food for the kids. it is survival, junior? —— you know? and get food for the kids. it is survival, junior? -- you know? it is ha rd to survival, junior? -- you know? it is hard to get food, water and essentials like nappies, is it? yes, yes. the prices on food have gone up, the gas is double. food is scarce. up, the gas is double. food is scarce. you have to get the essentials tha

careful because initially we had set sophisticated management systems in place in the bvi and the mounts baysome provision in place, but the size of this hurricane was so large and the fact that it affected more than one area... it has been the case that more was needed. the commitment by the british government has been fairly substantial. some criticism has been about how quickly it has got there, but in the british case, unlike other islands around there, like the french and the dutch ones, we don't have permanent bases there and that means that most of the stuff has to come in. another important point is that you don't wa nt to important point is that you don't want to commit to many of your resources before the hurricane comes in because they may be put in harms way and may be damaged by the hurricane. it is important in the response stage, if you like, that you can't commit as much resources as possible. we are starting to see that in a positive way. the size of the task is not a huge and it will bea the task is not a huge and it will be a major challenge. it is important to think about

many weeks. 0n the line is captain stephen norris, commanding officer of the royal fleet auxiliary mounts bayhe caribbean coordinating the british aid effort. thanks forjoining us. first of all, what kind of destruction are you actually expecting in the british virgin islands potentially? the destruction from was quite characteristic —— hurricane irma was catastrophic, another of the same magnitude will cause even more died in destruction, —— damage and destruction. the concern is the virus that has been strewn indiscreet is now and the process of being cleared, could cause potential injury. in the eye and other areas in the past, they are battling down. what about the shelters on the island, were any of them damaged in any way, making it more difficult but another hurricane is coming after irma? they are on the virgin islands, the shelters remain intact, they are heading towards the shelters, the tension on the virgin islands which we attended was damaged, but i understand repairs have been made. the majority remain in good stead. what practical help of even offering islanders across the reg

obviously, we have rfa mounts bay in the region.heir work as they move to the british virgin islands. the headquarters at which i work is supporting the ship and liaising with other agencies required to make all that happened. what work will you be doing once you arrive? the ship has been engaged in reconnaissance, because it needs to understand the scope of the devastation and where it needs to focus its assistance in conjunction with the islands' management and governance. they are liaising with governors as they arrive and focusing on the usual sorts of things like infrastructure and making sure there is command and control for the islands. do you have a sense of what you will be greeted with when you arrive? i think we have lost the line, which is u nfortu nate. have lost the line, which is unfortunate. that was captain sam shattuck from the royal navy. we will try to re—establish that in the next few minutes. moving home can be stressful at the best of times — but new research suggests 250,000 private renters in england are bei

carrying relief will take off from raf brize norton in oxfordshire — a royal navy ship, the rfa mounts bayribbean. she has already delivered assistance to anguilla, and is now on her way to the british virgin islands. let's ta ke let's take a look at the hurricane‘s toll so far. at least 14 people are known to have died, but there are warnings that the death toll could rise. over a million people have been affected — that figure could soon rise to as high as 26 million people. hurricane irma's windspeed has now dropped slightly — but the storm is still pounding the caribbean with winds of up to 165 miles per hour. these are some of the latest pictures — these were shot from a dutch military helicopter as it attempts to provide some level of assistance to victims of the hurricane in dutch saint martin. these pictures show the scale of the disaster they're dealing with. the dutch prime minister says 250 troops have been deployed there to deliver aid, food, medical supplies and building materials — but also to maintain security. here's what the storm looks like from satellite imagery — you ca

we know from the defence secretary the royal fleet auxiliary mounts bay ship is on stand—by in the vicinityeers on board with access to water transporting and earth moving equipment. we know to reason may have spoken with emmanuel macron, the french president, and has discussed potential joint cooperation with him, potentially involving the dutch government. those are the sorts of things they will have been discussing at this cobra meeting. the details will be forthcoming imminently with some sort of response from the secretary of state for defence, so michael fallon. lee miles from bournemouth university. professor of crisis management. looking at the pictures we are starting to see, there isn't much planning you could make for this, it wiped these islands out. good afternoon, yes. let's be clear, there is quite a lot of planning that take place of course because hurricanes and early warning systems means you can track them quite far out. quite a lot of measures were taken. particularly in the uk overseas territories, there is quite sophisticated disaster management systems a re sophistica
