Normal preparation putting up our shuttles. Trun truly making sure that security clearance we had the search. You know alerted to go again to whats coming in the. Door furniture we had to secure your wrong god. There were very heavy waves. And there was a good story with some great relief because if thats all airports never closed down none of the hotels in nassau which is basically how most people you know know New Providence. Will have. To do is operate so we escaped. Very lucky which i cant say the same for our friends to go off. Paul it is actually 150 miles north of us more or less. And so are the apple corps. Which took a battering john as you say it appears that some of the other islands have been much harder hit the New Providence are you able to tell us quickly about whats happening on the other islands well we did follow all the government announced months. Theres supposed to be substantial damages to homes friend of ours is a will have their home in africa and its been destroyed theyve spent the. Neighbors house and it was a substantial house and the government plan to fly over tomorrow or soon as its safe this is one of the strangest hurricane. The only time ive heard a hurricane stand still effectively which is most unfortunate and john as well as were talking to you were seeing pictures on our screens of some of the damage in abaco people in the bahamas are used to hurricanes but perhaps nothing as big as this how prepared were people for the hurricane and how are they all for it is coping with this disaster do you think. Well they. They have had the number of people evacuated from africa with the help of the United States to nassau to the hospital here. But. It this is you cant prepare for this one because the 2nd most powerful hurricane it recorded history. The guy with around a long time and ive never heard of 185 mile an hour when. Its. Normal preparations probably cant handle all right so we have to leave it there john isner the owner of breezes resort and spa in New Providence the bombers john thank you very much for talking to about 0 and could i just end by saying that so its still a big deal and the people are going to need the support to help carry the rest of the behind us john thank you very much indeed thank you was Steven McandrewsDeputy Director of Disaster Management at the American Red Cross he says relief efforts in the next 48 hours will be crucial. We know from Prior Experience and prior hurricanes and prior operations in the bahamas what will be needed and we note somewhat the populations we noted theres about 75000. 00 people that are reside that do reside in the affected area and many of them did evacuate but we estimate at least 20000 people are in are going to be severely affected right now as respect in here and we know to basics will be needed we have concerns around the water supply which looks like its only good for about 2 days more 2. 00 to 3. 00 more days so were concerned about water sanitation and shelter so people are going to need blankets theyre going to need somewhere to sleep roofing materials just all the basics to get through the coming days and weeks as re sit here now and really and and i talk to you we have assessment teams out there but the communications are very difficult and this is a big bed tragic event that continues but we are confident in our response we have put in place trained volunteers before the hurricane we have deployed teams from the International Movement including we have support from Many National societies including British Red Cross were in touch with the American Red Cross and here at the Regional Operations Center we are we have a plane thats being loaded up on ready to send in more supplies as needed so were just waiting for this storm to move out and the next 24 hours will continue to be difficult for the people of the northern bahamas the british Prime Minister is raising the stakes of a briggss or is johnsons threatening to call a snap election on october 14th if rebel end pains from within his own party vote with the opposition to stop a no deal briggs it insists the u. K. Will leave the e. U. By october 31st with a without a deal once the reports. Parliaments has been on holiday for 6 weeks but Boris Johnson and his aides have been working flat out to make good on their vows that brets it will happen by november with or without any agreed plan with the European Union to show our friends in brussels that we are united in our purpose n. P. s should vote with the government against cool beans pointless delay. I would everybody to know there are no circumstances in which i would ask brussels to delay. But since he has a majority of just warn in parliament it doesnt take many rebels from his own conservative party to cause him problems and they are so concerned about a no deal bricks its that theyre ignoring threats to kick them out of the Parliamentary Party and it seems at least some will back a plan to order the government to delay brechts it yet again i have decided that in the interests of my constituents the best represented by outlining the perils of no deal and continuing to do what ive done since 2016 which is urge the government to make a deal so that we leave the e. U. In the best possible way both for the u. K. And the e. U. If they succeed johnson has a number of options and they are all in century he could either choose to ignore the will of parliament and push on with it anyway and face accusations of being dictatorial or more likely because called a National Election which would in effect become a 2nd referendum on brics it is the big fundamental calculation that someone Boris Johnsons Company Making is that currently he has the opportunity to unite. Supporters of brics it under one ticket and the Boris Johnson ticket while there remain parties there were democrats the labor party the green party the nationalist parties remain completely divided and thats the big fundamental calculation that someone making whether or not that will pay off remains we see all this means there is enormous pressure to on the main Opposition LeaderJeremy Corbin much less personally popular than johnson on monday the former labor Prime Minister tony blair notably failed to offer corbin his own backing in backing away from the idea of himself as a caretaker Prime Minister gerry corbin is behave responsibly and if he continues to put country 1st he will benefit the country and himself he can now play a decisive role in how briggs it develops. But he should see an election before breaks it is decided for the elephant trap the days everyone here is gearing up for what feels like one of the most important moments in modern british political history which will help determine whether brics it will happen at all and if so under what terms for some time the politicians and in particular the conservative party have been tearing themselves to pieces maybe this eventually will be the defining moment the e. U. Is sitting in waiting watching for any piece of movements to clarify what will happen they like everyone else want an end to this lawrence lee aljazeera in london are lots more still to come here in aljazeera including well tell you why people in argentina went rushing to the banks on monday. A scuba dive boat sinks in flames off the Southern California coast well have the latest on the rescue efforts and in sport the defending womens champion one day winning a 2nd u. S. Open title this year and youll be here with that story a little bit later. Now unions and protesters in hong kong are observing a 2nd day of a general strike to protest against the semi autonomous territories government there was violence between riot police and some demonstrators late on monday after a day of peaceful rallies across the city of seoul students join in many of them skipped the 1st day of their class of the new term all this came as a recording was leaked of hong kongs leader saying she was she has caused unforgivable havoc and have quit if she could. This. The. First thing is to eat. Is to. Sew. For us but carol lam has just said that shes disappointed that those comments that were meant for a private audience will eat she was speaking at her Weekly Press Conference with agent brown joins us live now from Hong Kong Adrian if these leaked audio tapes are to be believed kerry lammas said she would resign if she had a choice and was prompted to say this now what more shes been saying. Well that News Conference given by carrie lamb is continuing behind me at her office here in the center of hong kong whats interesting daryn is she didnt deny the she made those comments what she said was is that it happened at a private lunch with business figures and that shes very disappointed that the details of that conversation have been leaked she said that this lunch was a lunch where what she called Chatham House rules applied which means that it was confidential the contents were not supposed to be given to the media she also said that her department she her for her officials played up story no role in the leaking of that recording just to recap in that recording kerry lamb is heard to say that you know that what has happened in hong kong was unforgivable she said was unforgivable and she used that word unthinkable twice and she said that you know she wanted to stand down but she had no room for maneuver no scope for maneuver because in her words i serve 2 masters also been that recording she said that she didnt believe that the Central Government would send in the Peoples Liberation army because that would destroy once and for all hong kong standing as a major Financial Center she said though that. I have never attended my resignation to the Central Government and ive never even contemplated my resignation so her remarks at this Media Conference very much in stark contrast to those private remarks that were released by the Reuters News Agency for the moment she says though that the Central Government continues to have support in the Hong Kong Government and supports the actions of the Hong Kong Government in trying to bring an end to what is now almost 14 weeks of violence darron and ive been away from kerry lamb just bring us up to date now on the latest protests its now the 2nd day of this 2 day strike. Yeah behind me is whats known as the as the tame are park and yesterday this was filled according to organizers with some 40000 workers from more than 20 sectors in hong kong thats to say people from the Banking Sector the insurance sector even even chefs and what was noticeable that many of those people were wearing face masks not because of the pollution here in hong kong but because they didnt want to reveal their identity they worry about retribution from their employers because many of them had been warned that if they took part in this action they would face possible disciplinary action well they defied that threat and attended on mass now today the organizers of this 2 day strike say theyre expecting an even bigger crowd here a tame our park today all right to adrian brown there in hong kong agent thank you lets bring in victor teo hes affiliated with the China Studies Program at the university of hong kong and joins us via skype from there now victor lets talk 1st about this leak tape which purports to reveal that caroline would resign if she had a choice why do you think shes saying this now and is she likely to step down do you think. Well i think that was made in a spirit of being an on off the shelf ology and read a message to the didnt eat the whole process all the Central Government and people of hong kong she says shes frightened that shes actually serving 2 master sent at one time and shes also right to say that she actually has for you to let it feel i dont index should be any doubt that the Central Government has always been charge of your fence of hong kong human gold on on principle its one country 2 system i think most people forget that a 11. 00 country actually system so right now what shes saying is that we shes trying to send out messages through various constituencies of constituencies not on call on people should be ready to get out and try to force it and try to come up with some viable then for the future without resorting to violence so again too in the Leaders Press conference which is that was just a few minutes ago shes been calling for an end to the violence and shes been trying to get us of course naturally should you find it well she either she. Or he said that she was like that. Ok so lets just talk if we convict about whats happening on the streets i mean this is the 2nd day of a 2 day general strike and now thousands of students have joined the protests how much more pressure is this putting on the hong kong economy and the ability of the church of dysfunction. Well i think. Its certainly putting a lot of pressure on the on going sick money but they believe state of all of the transport ups and the paralyzed. And but i dont think the straight yes it is its its its the stretch the last fragment of us 5 parts is actually doing much damage to hong kongs economic because most employers. Would have asked us but if you leave your belief that the state of the government asked the. Employees to actually
