It has just been downgraded to a category three storm, but its still capable of wind speeds approaching 200 kph. The storm has killed three people over the weekend. These are live pictures from florida, where the streets are deserted, as you can see. Officials are warning that the Emergency Services simply cannot help anybody who are still out in that storm. More than 2 million homes and businesses are now without power. The greatest danger is likely to come from storm surges. Pushing water inland. Much of the financial district of miami is now under water. At least two construction cranes have come crashing down on buildings. Curfews will now go into force in tampa and St Petersburg in the next couple of hours. Only hours before it finally hit florida keys, Hurricane Irma became more powerful. That rate here is the road in front of our house. This surge, iam road in front of our house. This surge, i am going to go with seven feet. Bryan cooper will is one of those who defied the order
The worst affected areas are in the caribbean where 17,000 people desperately need shelter, with some still short of food and drinking water. Its believed that 37 people were killed on the islands. Nick bryant reports from one of those territories, the turks and caicos. This church was supposed to protect people from irma, a sanctuary from the storm. Butjust hours before the hurricane hit, the plan changed. People went elsewhere, and just as well. Like many buildings here, it was destroyed. In the turks and caicos islands, low lying coastal communities were worst hit, beach side homes now unlivable. Basically, my family, we lost everything, everything. Its going to take some time to get back on our feet again, but, through the strength from god, we will. Long bay beach is routinelyjudged to be one of the most beautiful in the world, a bucket list location, but this is what a category five hurricane can do to a five star hotel. Whats striking here is the determination to rebuild notjust
We should not be chagrined if the process of unifying is difficult , even wrenching at times unlike any other party, we embrace men and women of every color, every creed, every orientation, every economic class. We have gathered everyone from the abject poor to the enlightened affluent of the gold coast. In between is the heart of our constituency, the middle class, the people not rich enough to be wore a free worry free. [applause] gov. Cuomo they were because they have to, not because a sick type just told him to do it as a convenient way. And bluecollar, young professionals, men and women and small business, and desperate for the capital and contracts they need to prove their worth. We speak for the minorities what not yet entered the mainstream. We speak for ethnic someone to add their culture to the magnificent mosaic of their culture. We speak for women who are indignant that this nation refuses to etch into its governmental commandments the simple rule without shouts not sin aga
Facebook. Com cspan. Well start that conversation in a minute. First, lets talk to the ecretary of state yesterday, who talked about the trade pack. Host it is true, so often past have been sold to the American People with rosy scenarios that did not pan out. Hollow omises now ring in many communities across michigan and our country that factories close and jobs disappear. Lobbied for anies trade deals so they could sell abroad. But then, they instead moved back into the United States. It is also true that china and countries have gamed the system for too long. Particularly during the bush administration, has been too lax. Investments at home that would make us more competitive have been completely blocked in congress. And American Workers and communities have paid the price. Is not to rant and rave or cut ourselves off from the world. Would end up killing even more jobs. Finally make to trade work for us, not against us.

The campaign was going in the wrong direction. They needed to turn it around. Whats going on in the rnc, they are trying to make a deliberation before early voting begins how they want to spend resources in terms of cash and feels field staff. Theres a menu of options on the table. This is something the rnc will have to make a determination about. He does not have a large staff. How reliant has he been, will he be moving ahead with the ground game . You bring up an important point. They have a joint fundraising agreement and have been working in tandem. Trump has exclusively relied on the Campaign Mechanics that other campaigns built. He has not run a si
