Demi Comix as hurrican punches its way through Florida it's unleashed a battery of strong winds of up to 170 kilometers per hour and Turin chill rain throughout the peninsula in Miami the winds have weakened but a large area is a company in standing water and police say power lines have come down and 80 percent of the city major Richard Rand is from the Miami police to bomb and hopefully at this point we're hoping that the worst is gone but I can tell you that at the worst part of the storm my officers went out and rescued a floor you're all in streets child and her mother who were overtaken by floodwaters in their home what an absolutely incredible job by the police department in North Miami Beach that's just one of the stories that we're just now learning of of our officers are brave heroes that are going out there and rescuing people and saving lives in the city of Naples on the western coast of Florida water levels in some areas rose by more than 2 metas as the storm passed over a girl multi cells from James Scanlan who's a doctor in Naples community hospital we're about 6 blocks inland from the Gulf of Mexico and all I can see mostly is that the winds seem to be maybe a half or 2 thirds as strong as they were when the 1st half of the storm was going through the southern half the winds are just coming out of the West but they don't seem to be as strong not as much rain and we already had about a foot of water on most of the cities but it wasn't isn't that uncommon but there are a lot of lot of downed trees just whole trees uprooted. Lemons and branches all over the place how does this compare with previous storms that you've seen in Florida in Florida this is the worst We seldom get them over here on the southwest coast sometimes you know most of the storms do sort of a glancing blow up the East Coast and I think probably this predates when I moved. 9 years ago most people have to go back to Wilma in 200522 recollect such a big storm coming through here and doing this amount of damage when do you hope to be able to return to your home hopefully tomorrow so I can just to see if I can see the water rising up the street to get an idea but I think that effect of the surge could be at risk for the next several hours so I think we will most of us are going to do is we're going to shelter here again tonight wake up in the morning and see if the waters have risen and see if we can get out of here and get to our homes and try to assess what you know what happened usually what happens after the storm you know depending on how people got through it we're going to have people with medical issues like the hydration exposure and then as people start climbing around and trying to fix things we're pretty much anticipating a lot of falls broken bones and injuries related to falls and things like that but we also have to make sure watch out for downed power lines and have to be worried about you know people who may get electrocuted James can a lot of Mabel's community hospital while the center of the storm is near Tampa Bay home to some 4000000 people the B.B.C.'s Thomas half an aco is in Tampa and in the past few minutes gave me this update but at the moment it's the height of the storm the height of hurricane. Very close to Tampa not sure whether it's going to go right over us or just to the side but what does that mean it basically means that we have tremendously strong winds right now it sounds like a train is rolling through downtown Tampa we can hear smashing in the background tree limbs on the right I'm currently in my hotel just looking through the windows of the hotel entrance and it is just like a ray of water racing across. The roads and buffeting the trees and I think we've got to many more hours of this and it's all a very very loud very loud roar all there any signs that the storm is weakening yet the storm of course has been weakening since it made landfall around Naples between maples and Fort Myers soon as the storms move inland the I start collapsed but it's such a powerful storm that we're still going to be free for quite some time and it won't blow itself out for a long time it's going to travel even out of the state of Florida before it completely starts to wind down so it's not going to happen anytime soon I know you've been looking out across Tampa and in the last few minutes you've seen the storm lighting up the sky that's right I think those are transformers that have been blowing I don't know the technical term but you see these big flashes of blue light and it's not quite like lightning it sort of last for a little bit longer just a 2nd or 2 longer see you get a good view of it very very large flashes of blue light and Other than that the power is out in the hotel that we're in but I believe that other parts of the city I can see still have power so it's a bit patchy at the moment as a meteorologist I know you've been tracking the storm wall to direction was it heading it's currently moving northwest the whole storm is sort of pulling away generally to the north away from the state of Florida thankfully making its way into Georgia and in the next few days the remnants of your fine selves in Tennessee the A.B.C.'s Thomas half an icon in Tampa the about underage action by the government in Myanmar of a cease fire also by Muslim or engine militants as raised fears that could be more violence in Iraq onstage nearly 300000 wrenches afl.

Burns and so getting immediate medical care for locals people is absolute essential but then of course I mean with tens of thousands of people coming over the public health needs are absolutely incredible I mean they're extremely vulnerable the risk that they have to their height in related diseases you know you know they're just out in tens some of them don't even have tents the weather is quite on cooperate and you know they're just not sure where they're going to go so we've seen measles cases already there's a risk of other epidemics and the nutrition situation is really precarious getting them to food and especially clean water to people is going to be very essential on the last day of his visit to Colombia the pope has urged the country to work together to implement a peace deal between the government and the funk rebel group or Correspondent Kate he wants and was in the city of Qom to him you know when the pope ended his trip so it wasn't a visit that was long wanted by the government. And those kind of peace to last year when rebel group Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia Fark that ended more than half a century of conflict and it was seen as a good time by the Vatican to come to Colombia and talk about reconciliation and peace throughout his 5 day visit that was a subject that came up again and again as he visited several cities around the country how much his words likely to be heeded welcomed I mean it was a very divided country everybody here wants peace but they're divided. How to go about it so there's a feeling for many people the peace deal that was struck it was perhaps too lenient to form a competent people feel that it's about food giving and moving on and I think that's the that was the message that Pope Francis gave was that people needed to have let go of the past a move forward move forward together people here when I was at the event you know the mass in the end he said which was a town that was seen as kind of the epicenter to things I didn't people that you know I really felt that his message could resonate set me he is a man who is very popular in in Latin America he is often senior and he is the Latin American pope the 1st one people feel that you know his words Pat's resonate far more than the average politician and I know politics is corrupt across the region and people listen to his words more than they do politicians on a separate note the pope ended up with a black eye he did bashed his head on the veil but he did make of it it would take about it saying that he had been published and moving on but he had a small a small cluster and he also had a black eye but apart from that it was seen as a bit of a successful visit as he had to write Katie Watson you're listening to the newsroom now Neil has some other stories from on his desk the 1st funerals have been held for those killed in a massive earthquake in southern Mexico on Thursday rescuers continue to dig out the bodies of up to 90 people who were killed in what Hakan and she oppa states which were hits the hardest at 8 point one magnitude earthquake was the strongest the country has seen in a century Some have complained about the lack of assistance from the government. With all of that. That are going to come with the lost everything and the truly us work we can't work we don't know what to do and various families sadly have lost everything truth is we've received very little help.

Open title by using the South African Kevin Anderson in straight sets the world number one is now want to total of 16 Grand Slam titles speaking after the match he thanked the crowd when he anyway you know that's one of the. Events that brings me to the high energy of the well because the crowd here is just unbelievable the B.B.C.'s tennis correspondent Russell Fuller told me it was the 3rd time the dollar lifted the trophy on the 1st here for 4 years and winning on a hard court will mean even more to him Yes Roland Garros on the clay of the French Open is incredibly special tonight the way he's won 10 titles but this is just a reminder that he's Grand Slam winning days on all surfaces are not over and he was completely in control from the word go against Kevin Anderson from South Africa just the 32nd best player in the world according to the rankings he's been a wonderful fortnight for him he has the big but that serve is coming under. From the early stages and once the dog got the 1st break midway through the 1st set the pattern of the match was set an adult serving himself superbly well and a straight sets victory felt inevitable really as soon as that match got underway so where does this leave Nadal with potentially being the greatest player of all time if you look at the statistics a number of Grand Slam titles won then he now has 16 Grand Slam titles he is clear to clear now of Pete Sampras who's in 3rd out in front Roger Federer who has 19 grand slams Federer Underdark have split the Grand Slams in 2017 nobody else has had a look in Federer is 5 years older so little if you can stay free of injuries has a chance to catch him perhaps in the years to come not that Federer is finished yet but remarkable that these 2 should be the 2 players who won the 4 Grand Slams when you consider that when Federer visited in a doll's new tennis academy on the island of Majorca last October both were injured to the extent that all they could do was play soft tennis tennis with softballs with a group of juniors the B.B.C.'s tennis correspondent Russell Fuller a reminder of the main news a major hurricane is moving northwards over Florida flooding coastal areas and spreading damaging winds across much of the state it's coming up to 420 g.m.t. Here on The Newsroom. A Brazilian billionaire linked to a corruption case involving President Michel Tamar has handed himself into police to as Labour's to stir the head of the world's largest meat packing company j.b.s. Made the decision after his lawyer sent an incriminating tape by mistake to the prosecutor's office as well draw America's editor Leonardo Russia about what exactly was on the tape during the week a tape was released of. The discussing for hours with former executive or his company's Mr Butts He says one of the richest men in Brazil they were discussing a number of things they were drinking listening to music talking about women in the in the discuss the case in which Mr Batty stays involved in the key points of that tape is when he says that he's being helped by prosecutors who are supposed to be investigating him he also told his friends there he had been guaranteed that he wasn't going to be arrested even though his company's admitted to bribing almost 2000 politicians in recent years how did this tape come out well this tape was sent by mistake by his lawyers last week because miss about is the record that presents him back in May for secret recording in which presents him apparently admitted to paying bribes to him and other officials in specially to a politician and then the prosecutor's office made a plea bargain deal with him and gave him 3 months or about there to produce all the evidence against the president they saw that they had lined last week in the probably rushed in the lawyers sense that wrong tape that was recorded by his friends by Mr but it's different to the prosecutor's office in the prosecutor's office then ask for his arrest and what's next for the president or the president has survived an impeachment vote in August I think he's in a quite comfortable situation because he has the backing of the Congress even though he's very unpopular in Brazil however the prosecutor's office is continuing with the investigation so it depends on the strength of this evidence. What's the likelihood there are other tapes knocking around all there are there are probably other tapes because all these politicians in all these businessmen they're involved in those schemes they're all recording each other in since the beginning of these corruption investigation 2014 you have tapes that come out they come up from nowhere in where people say they see all sorts of things in frankly the sort of language that is very difficult to be published on television or radio to Russia now in his 1st extended interview since leaving the White House President Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon has criticized senior members of the Republican Party in an interview with Charlie Rose on C.B.S.'s 60 Minutes program Mr Bannon said the were many who did not want to implement Mr Trump's agenda the Republican establishment is trying to nullify the 2016 election I think brutal fact we have to face the Republican is there a Republican establishment by the 20160 right now for the 2016 election absolutely who I think I think Mitch McConnell and to a degree Paul Ryan they do not want out trumps populist economic nationalists agenda. To be implemented He also said the public image of him was largely correct and he remained loyal to the president so many of his I think it's pretty accurate I'm a street fighter that's what we're more than that and I think I think. About the way I think that's why Donald Trump and I get along so well doubt from the fighter great counterpuncher great kind of partner he's a fighter I'm going to be his wing man outside for the entire time to protect your not to be attacking Donald Trump and.
