And already the power has gone. And even on the best days here are the struggle sometimes they say ive been told that with power supply so theyre what aids. And that if the Power Supplies go off they may not come back on again for some time. So that is a real worry about what this hurricane might in fifty infrastructure but as the governor point today. Right now i hes worried about saving lives. Laura becca and push rico te five pm atlantic standard time. Cooking irma is still a category five. It is moving away from the northernmost virgin islands. But were expecting it continue westward or west northwest for the next couple days.

Of nearly seven meters and the turks and caicos and southeastern and central bahamas. And lastly i have massive amounts of rainfall which is accentuated by the high training mountains. Other countries in the caribbean. Style highest rate is expected to be three hundred millimeters. Of it with isolated amounts of five hundred millimeters. Im chris what can you tell us about the cost of the hurricane as it turns towards florida whats that looking like tonight. Well the computer guidance that we use. That are very tight agreements on the west northwest track for the next three days taking it. To you over cuba or just north of cuba. By saturday afternoon and man it should take an abrupt turn toward the north for north northwest right toward florida. And the northwestern bahamas. Im so with the track. That were projecting now. Look either over florida or just to the east on sunday and monday. Chris laughed saying of the National Hurricane center thank you so much for joining us. And in addition to that Tropical Storm highs and atlantic is now strengthened to a hurricane while Tropical Storm catchier has also become a hurricane in the gulf of mexico. All of this on top of hurricane ana and off to hurricane all the. Well President Trump has a track record of being unpredictable and today was no exception. Before leaving on a trip to north dakota the president sat down with leaders of both the republican and democratic parties. Surprise came when he confronted members of his own party and sided with the democrats to agree a three month extension in the u. S. Dast limit. Which means we could be in for a while december. It comes on top of an already packed agenda our political analyst ron christie join a short time ago to process or of it. Iran is it possible that as white house aides are saying this is an act of tompion genius siding with the democrats and getting this debt limit extension no this is like patricia horse of allowing the democrats to come right. Into the republican camp and open the floodgates on what the democrats dictate terms. The republicans have the largest governing majority since nineteen twenty nine. Laura and what we saw today is the president going to nancy pelosi into Chuck Schumer the to respective Democratic Leaders and saying. You can have whatever you want this lisa republicans with no leverage no room to negotiate and the democrats in december will say well gee. We do have to compromise at all will continue this for another three six months for the president because he has his own party over a barrel. What it does beg the question that ron if its not this act of genius some white house aides say by the way it clears the decks for tax reform but but why did he do it if its not a . Good idea its not a good idea at all in politics for twenty five years that ive been in this business. You always have to have room for negotiation and you always have to blow off a little thomas like playing poker. And you never want to put all your cards the table you never want to keep your entire hand. What the president did in simple terms today we show his entire hand to the democrats they know his cards are and they recognize where the republican leader . Are able to take their members and theyre gonna falls. Now they sent vexed issue of the dream as those young people who were brought here illegally angled legal status under president obam. Having announced he was ending the program yesterday now President Trump says hillary visited if congress com to grieve what what you make of that. Well i look at a president who probably saw a lot of negative Television Coverage last night and seeing the reaction on capitol hill from a number for publicans. Who like dock or some version of it and so i do believe that the republicans will find a way to forge a compromise of the democrats . They will get this issue resolved but once again it shows a president that seems to vacillate when he says hes made a decision and then hours later he decide something else. Run this is a big september for the president is in after a slightly sticky sama what do you want to see him achieve by the end of this practice legislative month. But would you believe we only have twelve legislative days in session of for the house and the senate the house actually only has six. So when you look at this very very compact calendar of when they will actually be hearing actually voting. Id like to see them form some sense of an appropriation strategy. Keep the government open we have twelve Appropriations Bills that we must pass. As well as now the debt ceiling been taken off the table but can we find consensus on some form of tax legislatio. Into that laura i just dont know whats gonna be a tough september for republicans for the gop the president is out that today selling that tax by a stake in a Democratic Senate so wave and what do you reckon. You sound skeptical. Well im skeptical given the way that we have our governing majority mark unable to do health care that should have been easy. Tax reform is much more difficult you have some members from rural areas wanting some things you have some people in corporate. A cities such as new york city and boston warning some of these tax extenders. How do you find consensus when you have two hundred plus republicans who cant even agree on repealing healthcare and putting a new package . Just tax cuts not mine taxable knows that good old straightforward Corporate Tax cut i may be a cup for middle and this too is the president says he wants to do i think if you had a middle earner tax. Cu. Along with some sort of reduction in the Corporate Tax rate that could pass but you know once the gravy train starts going down the tracks. Hard to say whats going to happen in the larded up and then of course nothing will happen around if we just pretend today interesting question of why the president decided to side with his. One time enemies nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer i mean is it possible that hes just really crossed with Republican Leaders because they didnt deliver and i think they have in the first few months of his presidency and now hes. Like well i fight to make a deal hes the deal my car austral one thing i always look at every morning noon and night is the president s twitter feed. And if you look very careful today he did not say anything positive about mcconnell or paul ryan ernie the Republican Leadership. But he was praising the democrats yeah i think this is a little bit about this a stick in your eye republicans for not doing what i asked you to do this summer. So im gonna give a little sugar to the democrats. Congress state thank you so much for explaining everything. Youre watching bbc world news america still to come on tonights program. It was the book that prompted a discussion on aging and the end of life. Tonight we speak to the doctor who write being mortal. The senates released details of its revamped or electric com. A previous version was a global bass sound at the companys facing tough competition from its us rival tessa. The sign says the new leaf model can travel two hundred forty kilometers on a single charge. But its still less than the ranges offered by how bad that trick comes from testa and general matches. Report we filled haze has a close up look at the new call in tokyo. A. In tokyo today a huge production with lots of pizzazz. Forties. Philip dell looking family com. Its the nucleus and lead. So why we hear. What is this matter . But in large part because this call or the previous generation of this car is the biggest selling electric vehicle in the world. And because the sand tessler and on the big Coal Companies i believe that this was Something Like it really is the future and that in ten to fifteen years time. Most of us are gonna be driving some sort. Of electric vehicles. I would have been just check out some of the high tech field as of this new leaf one of which is that it can park for you parallel obey parking. So we gonna give this a go the case and i was going to go forward. Can see im not no hands on their. On the way you. Its very strange having a car drive for you. Okay that we are and we finished. Its certainly a better looking because in the pre its model which was run the bug eyed and. A lot of people feel with an acquired taste. But the main difference between this and the older generation is the size of its battery pack down here under the floor. This month got a full two kilowatt hour pack. That means it should be able to go according to me sam. Four hundred kilometers or two hundred fifty miles. On one charge. It was the boat which prompted a National Discussion about aging and death. Talk to a to go one days being mortal spent eighty five weeks on the New York Times best seller list. He used both recensione stories of his im patients to reveal the difficult decisions which come at the end of life. The surgeon discusses his own struggles with the medical profession and highlights have cat can be improved. And books in paperback conduct to go andy join a short time ago. I to go and in writing this book what did you want to add to our discussions about the end of life. Well i wanted at some basic wild understand how do we deal with it better. And what i ended up discovering is that. Talking to people about dying is really talking about living. The goal i realize its not to have a good death for goals how do you have a good life all the way to the very end. Its so often at the very end the focus and i know this from my own relatives is all. Having more more surgery say you can stay alive long ago but is that focus actually wrong. Well. We we conceive of it as. Should we fight or should we give up and thats not acts of the right discussion what ive discovered from talk to people was that that. That the key lesson is. To recognize people have priorities besides just living longer. We have to ask them what those priorities are especially if they have serious illness or frailty. And then align the care we provide with what they say those goals are but were not asking and therefore we get suffering. When we do ask its pretty extraordinary how differently things go. Tell us about the case of you and fall back how did that in formule thinking about this debate. Well so my father a surgeon i like myself had a brain tumor. And as it advanced along i had learned from these people id begun writing about. That. That i should be asking questions i found very hard to ask questions like. So where do you think you are with your illness at this time. What are your fears and hopes are for the future with your health . Whats the minimum quality of life youd find acceptable. And i told the story of one of the people ive met and i spoke about wrote about in the book. Who said well as long as i can eat Chocolate Ice Cream and watch football on television . That will be good enough for me keep me going as long as i can do that but if i cant let me go. My father immediately said. That is not good enough for me. For him at first the answer was he wanted anything that would keep him doing surgery and then as the tumor advancing he couldnt do that. Denny realized the life he lived for was to be around the family dinner table talking to family and friends and that became our god post can he do that. Do not take that away so ace the discussion then should doctors be more able to ofsc patients the difficult question. Yes and we we have to do it more we have to do it earlier and we have to do it better. And the and and not only doctors but families as well and that keep difficult questions are. Not. Will you give up could. The key difficult questions are. What are you fighting for . What is it that you met with you would not want to sacrifice in the course of this pathway wherein . And ted be able to say. Honestly what are you worried about what your deepest worries. You know and then you find out things like. I want to make sure i can take my my grandkids to disney. For example or i want to get to this wedding and and that we should sacrifice that we should enable that. And it doesnt shorten peoples lives. Serving peoples quality of life turned out to also add to their quality of life as well. I took one day thank you for joining us thank you. Fascinating debate now for many people the idea of a small village in switzerland may sound ideal. But as imogen folks reports that reality is no one wants to live in one. Grupo tucked away deep in a mountain valley. Theres been a community here since the thirteenth century. Moms home to over three hundred people.

And im the only one working. All the resolution this idea. Oneness into this unique. The people of crypto really dont want to their village to die but there are only sixteen of them.
