Powerful hurricane closing in on the u. S. Gulf coast has been upgraded threatening to unleash a torrent of rain severe winds and flash flooding sally is now a category 2 storm and could sweep ashore in parts of alabama and florida in just a matter of hours its effects are already being felt powers out to tens of thousands of homes and people in one coastal city have been ordered to stay indoors lets get more on this now with Jenny Harrison and you know the u. S. Just cant seem to catch a break jenny with the fires and now this hurricane where is the storm now and oh well as you said it is actually the gulf of mexico to actually dying on the satellite because this is this is the mass here if i actually show you where the storm is and indeed it is of course about for the next few hours now its about 2 am local time in alabama and as we go through the next few hours its probably 7 am local time we expect the storm to actually make landfall that of course is when the eye comes on shore but remember it is not just about the eye for. The whole areas been hit by these strong winds on the toronto rains right now but winds about 165 kilometers an hour but in the next 5 hours before it comes on shore it could actually strengthen a little bit further we could be seeing sustained winds at about 175 kilometers an hour it is barely moving and has been barely moving for the last few hours but of course its all about the flash flooding some areas as this storm comes on shore could see over half a meter of rain now as it does that wednesday it really is going to impact alabama also of course the Florida Panhandle and this whole region is where we say the really to run trains that once it does come on shore a jury wednesday it will actually weaken quite quickly but it will continue to work its way across the southeast across alabama across into georgia and eventually on towards the carolinas as you might expect it will also take that really heavy rain with it the storm surge of course is what we talk about at these storms actually made landfall that is obviously very concerning that could be up to 2 meters in the hours ahead but this is the path of rain in. You can see here we could be saying around 400. 00 millimeters over the next few days so daryn this is a storm will watch very closely in the next few hours but obviously its not done yet and it could still strengthen before it makes landfall are a journey thank you well check in with you later on thank you very much well the number of people affected by floods in sudan has now risen to more than 650000 tens of thousands of homes have been damaged by the unprecedented rise of the river and as its waters recede residents are struggling to clean up and make repairs have a morgue and reports from khartoum.

We want the government to give us new plots so that this doesnt happen again really who live in the banks of the nile dont have the ability to buy new plots it should be the government giving us a plot so that the problem is addressed by the root and normal houses collapse from rained off until he gets a new plot this house is all that he has he says hell do what he can to get the water out so that he and his family can return to their home and start rebuilding he will morgan out as there are hundreds and.

To. A i ms. Hello again the top stories on aljazeera Senior Palestinian figures say theyve been betrayed after the United Arab Emirates a. Us brokered agreements to normalize ties with israel there been protests in gaza. The white house has approved oregons disaster declaration making it possible to access federal funds several wildfires continue to burn out of control in the western states hundreds of homes have been destroyed. And people on the u. S. Gulf coast are bracing for Hurricane Sally which is expected to make landfall in the coming hour as its been upgraded to a category 2 storm that could cause life threatening floods and winds. And japan has a new Prime Minister designate its a parliamentary vote has confirmed. Hes a longtime ally of the former Prime Minister. Who resigned for Health Reasons before he takes office will have to be officially appointed by the japanese emperor robin wright is joining us from seoul so we have a change of Prime Minister can we expect much of a change in the direction of japans Government Policies and initiatives. Change in leader but were not really expecting a change in substance or indeed in policy. As the right hand man the trusted left shinzo served him for nearly 8 years as the chief cabinet secretary as soon as our be announced his resignation he became the heir apparent and now indeed succeeds him hes being called a continuity Prime Minister almost an interim basically his job for the next year is pretty much to mind the shop for the ruling l. D. P. Before new elections are called and Carry Forward those policies we know hes very closely aligned politically ideologically with they hold the same conservative views especially when it comes to trying to revive the economy so we can expect that sudar will basically Carry Forward those same colas they socalled are the nomics policies that were already in place and we already know in fact from the lineup of his new cabinet that it is basically our base cabinet so that is confirmation if we needed it that suger is basically going to Carry Forward the work of his previous s. So compared to his predecessors there rob so does come from a different background. There is a very marked change in style and japanese politics tends to be dominated by political family dinners steese are among them by comparison comes from far more Humble Beginnings he keeps saying himself his background is an agricultural one his father was a strawberry farmer and he makes much of the fact that he is a selfmade politician he seems very much as a safe pair of hands in japan he is something of a crisis solver but working very much behind the scenes that seems to be where hes been most effective and where he is most comfortable in this part of the world hes quite well known internationally people have yet to get to know him hes known here as being almost the face of the japanese government because as chief cabinet secretary for years now he has given these twice daily briefings on the position of the japanese government and he does so in these fairly sullen sulky briefings he is known for not being a natural orator you dont get any witty ripostes all the party between him and the reporters so there is some question mark over his ability to be more dynamic to have the charisma of previous leaders such as and in a crucial year when you have all these different crises whether he can really appeal ideologically and get the electorate here fired up in japan which he is meant to do over the next year or so also question marks over how he will perform on the world stage not just in japan itself but when in coming to dealings with neighbors such as south korea and china and the United States which are all very problematic in the months ahead. Thank you for that update from seoul. 6 people have been arrested over the fire that destroyed europes largest refugee camp its left 12000 refugees on the greek island of less suppose without shelter for nearly a week a new facility has been opened a lot hundreds of people have moved in thousands are wary Stephanie Decker reports on the move once again its still a slow flow but some people are now willing to making their way into this new camp and their lives packed into bags their futures still uncertain.

We need to take more european responsibilities and. Concrete proposals in principle next week. And it would be the responsibility of the Member States of. The governments to start agreeing. You know to you know to find solutions the greek Army Continues to clear this land in iraq tends to make way for the thousands of refugees that need to be shelter the challenge now to make people of their own accord the greek minister of migration has already made it clear that if they dont call their own will that the police will have to get involved the new camp is necessary because moria refugee camp europes largest was burned to the ground a week ago on tuesday the news that those apparently responsible for setting the fires have been caught 6 young men from afghanistan according to the greek authorities for the few who have made it into the new camp the proximity to the water seems a welcome relief.

Religious minorities struggled through the independence of pakistan with our muslim brothers and sisters but certain loopholes were left in the constitution which they used by certain groups against them we are fully aware and all the parliamentarians from all parties are on one page and will soon constitute a lorry gainst the brutal crimes of forced conversions and marriage.
