Now Hurricane Dorian has become the most powerful storm to make landfall in the bahamas with winds gusting up to 350 kilometers an hour the category 5 storm is battering the islands with torrential rain leaving some parts underwater the u. S. National Hurricane Center has described it as a life threatening storm set to cause extreme destruction dorians expected to hit florida next the governor has warned the hurricane cannot be underestimated well and he gallagher joins us live now from miami and he so the storm has now made landfall in the bahamas what more do we know. Well were getting early reports that there has been devastating damage but the key thing here is just how powerful this storm is as he said historically the most powerful storm to hit the commonwealth of the bahamas with sustained winds of 30300 kilometers an hour and gusts of up to 350 kilometers an hour with coastal surges of up to 6 meters now the big thing here is the storm is slow down to such an extent its expected to stay over those islands of the bahamas remember the more than 700. 00 islands that make up the commonwealth for the next 2 days heres the Prime Minister of bahamas talking about abaco island where the storm 1st made landfall. Is already under water. The difference. Is today beginning in the st louis is going to push and begin. The indian. Banks just dont. Have a choice at this point in time. And in. Their. Hands. And theyre in a state of readiness and andy so what next then for durian do know where its heading off to the bahamas. I mean thats the multimillion dollar question the forecasters at the moment are all in agreement the models all show that dorian once it spent 2 days over the bahamas will take a right hand turn and go parallel to the east coast of florida nonetheless great many parts of the state is still in that cone of uncertainty so are again warnings have been put in place in places like Palm Beach County all the way north up into georgia and the carolinas low lying islands in places like palm beach residents have been told theyre under a mandatory Evacuation Order because if this storm nudges even slightly westward youre talking about a potential landfall of a category 5 hurricane and this is an event that isnt going to be over in just a couple of days its going to take a couple of days for it to even approach the coast of florida because the storm is getting slower but more intense the records show this is one of most powerful storms since those records began and the governors of all the states of georgia the carolinas and florida on taking any chances its a long term event everyone is just hoping and praying this model plays out and the eye of the storm continues tracking powell to the coast and doesnt come in because that is a nightmare scenario at the moment where all the models are in agreement that it will skirt up the coast when it gets up to georgia in the carolinas it should take a short run and turn and go back out into the atlantic but at this point anything could happen all right and to get to there in miami beach and thank you theres been a huge surge in support for a far right party into german state elections preliminary results show that the alternative for germany has made gains in both sanctioning and brandenburg at the expense of chancellor Angela Merkels party and her Coalition Partner dominic cain has more now from potsdam in brandenburg. Was the a if he had hoped its far right agenda would persuade east germans to put it 1st in the event the party came a close 2nd but more than doubled its vote in the process and struck deep into the mainstream parties heart yes i i would have hoped the cake we would become the Strongest Party but this result this exit poll shows one thing they have to has come to stay politics without us will no longer be possible their opponents in saxony with the center right christian democrats who governed there since 1990 but who lost more than 80000 votes to the f. T. And yet still emerge clear in 1st place for them there now begins the difficult process of trying to build a coalition with parties of the center and the center left out of this shaft we did it and this is a message that we send from saxony a large majority of people want to represent a state in a positive way and want to achieve things differently side of saxony has won. It was also a difficult night for the social democrats who are on the center left of german politics theyve been pounding ever since the fall of communism 30 years ago yet on sunday they lost votes and were very nearly beaten by the far right as. It was a tough Election Campaign it was an intensive discussion and i would like to thank all of you that we succeeded in showing that the state has one party which people trust and that remains brandenburg. One of the key factors for voters in this election had been nostalgia 30 years since the fall of the burning wall how did people view the past 3 decades of democracy and there was the role of immigration even though these 2 states have relatively small immigrant populations compared to the rest of the country this result shows the a. F. D. Is now a force to be reckoned with across east germany and although it will not enter government its presence will make Coalition Building difficult and it throws. Up one more central question with so many voters now desert ing the 2 main parties how long can their grand coalition continue at a federal level dominant came out just in brandenburg. Hong kong is set for more disruption on monday unions have called for a 2 day general strike as part of the ongoing demonstrations against beijings influence secondary school and University Students are expected to join in it follows a weekend of violence after protesters targeted the citys airport as it was wayne hale reports. This isnt the welcome people expect when arriving to check in at hong kong airport was for the 2nd time in 3 weeks and government protesters tried to block access to one of the busiest terminals in the world in some areas they succeeded confusing and worrying travelers and you cannot go back to the place where you wanted to go. And that people are afraid because of whats happening here i called orders in place designed to prevent protesters coming anywhere near here it clearly didnt was that legal action was taken after their last raid on the airport which saw people camp inside the terminal for several days. All they do is all hong kong airport is very important to the economy we chose here to try to paralyze it a make a point instead of randomly picking street talk e. P. I. Its much better to come here with all. This time the sight of the Police Moving in was enough to force a retreat for most arabs those not quick enough were arrested was in the end the protest to stay at the airport was a relatively brief one but again they proved they can strike at what they say is a soft target before the police moved into retaking youre. Still it would be a long time before transport began to return to normal meaning long walks for many travelers the demonstrators may have moved on but they werent done seemingly frustrated by the closure of a nearby train station they vented their anger leaving it in disarray as night falls the protesters fanned out to different locations and the police dont seem to be able to match the agility of those done trying to chase was and when its time for a police retreat loitering protesters and many People Living in areas where some of the violence has taken place find their voices again as the officers leave theyre not cheered as keepers of the peace instead jeered as the enemy and symbols of a system many here are trying to change wayne hay al jazeera hong kong. Police in the u. S. Have identified the man responsible for a mass shooting in adesa texas that killed 7 people on saturday the 36 year old hijacked a mail truck and opened fire at passers by after being stopped by police for offending to signal at a left turn he was eventually shot dead by the Police Investigators say they havent found any links to terrorist organizations or u. S. President donald trump has again dismissed the role of background checks and helping reduce gun violence despite it being the 2nd major shooting in the state of texas in less than a month. So were looking at a lot of Different Things were looking at a lot of different. Ideas concepts. That are going to grow over background check i will say that for the most part sadly if you look at the last 4 or 5 going back even 5 or 6 or 7 years for the most part as strong as you make your background jack they would not stop any of it oh its a big problem its a mental problem its a big problem how does a castro joins us live now from washington d. C. Heidi so President Trump that has been saying that background checks would not have prevented this shooting houses all playing out politically. Well there on what the president just said is widely expected in fact its what the National Rifle association the gun lobby has always positioned itself its very influential specially among republicans but its unclear exactly what trump was referring to the police for this shooting hasnt said how the shooter acquired the automatic rifle that was used in this killing so its unclear how trump sure his conclusion but if he was referencing that previous shooting that you also mentioned which happened 4 weeks ago in the texas city of el paso taking the lives of 22 people well perhaps he was thinking of that or what happened the next day in ohio when an additional 9 people were gunned down after those 2 major events there was a initial push in washington for gun reform there was some pressure on republicans who control the senate to take up legislation that had already cleared the lower house that would have expanded background checks and firearm purchases however the Republican Leadership there did not take up that item citing the likelihood that trump would veto the law and instead Congress Went off on recess and we know exactly what happened yesterday with another mass shooting in texas and the police have now identified the shooter in the death so what more theyve been saying. Thats right so they were actually hesitate at 1st to say the name aloud of the shooter 36 year old seth after they did release that name later in print they say that he did have a criminal record appears to be trespassing but as far as motive is still unknown they did say they do not suspect Terrorism Police also released some more information about the victims 7 people were killed they ranged in ages from 1525722 others are injured they include 3 Police Officers as well as a one Year Old Girl who was shot through the mouth her mother has said that she does expect the child to recover daryn how deep.
