So then a 2 pronged weather assault in the United States has people fleeing wildfires in one part of the country and rushing to avoid severe flooding in another slow moving Hurricane Sally has made landfall on the gulf coast threatening to unleash heavy rain. Rain heavy heavy rain and catastrophic flooding another powerful storm also brewing in the atlantic thats hurrican teddie which could hit bermuda as early as this weekend on the other side of the u. S. Coast in oregon and the devastation is plain to see wildfires continuing to burn and forcing people out of their homes really 2000000 hectares of land has been charred a federal disaster has now been declared and the impact of those fires is now being witnessed on an entirely different continents traces of smoke have been detected in europe which is 8000 kilometers away well lets speak now to jay gray who joins me live from a bill in the state of alabama and jay has now made landfall his net the coming hours will be testing how are things shaping up. Well were still getting a lashing from this storm keep the brain continue to fall here and well be a lot of damage and giving you a perk and look at some of the other conditions here you can see the wind is really just thinking and throwing around free lance here we know that these are down across this city we also know that there is some significant damage to buildings and homes seriously moved down to mobile bay you can see the limited pushing that water white caps obviously and this has been going on for hours and will continue for several hours more were going to continue to see this driving rain across this region the National Weather service is warning well likely see historic flooding in many areas as a result of Hurricane Valley its still a category 2 storm it does seem to be moving a little bit but not enough to matter at this point and the real issue is its just you know this is to get up and move away it has moved across the shoreline but its been no hurry to clear this area and so thats the kind of thing that were dealing with here right now and well continue to deal with for the next 7 to 8 hours or so we know that power is out to more than 400000. 00 people across the region have a pretty static number going to climb as well as again we just continue to take a beating this really just the opening of whats going to be a long and very difficult right here so this storm is being very well signal business is being so slow moving how prepared have communities been for this. I think people are well prepared because thats whats not just global but they had time to prepare you know the storm move to the. Day after day we started in the well as we ended up here in mobile neal with our coverage and as it moved it really got the attention of a lot of people when it happened so they started focusing on what was going on wondering where and when this thing would make landfall and as a result of that when you talk to the emergency officials here they think they think it had the attention of a lot of people and they feel like they were listening as this storm started to move in. R. J. Thanks very much abbi for that update for blowing in a rainy my bill in alabama. Ok along the west coast of the United States theyre into the 2nd week of botany while fons smoke from the fog has now even reached parts of europe the state of oregon is the latest hot spot and well hear from them now from estacado in fact where rob reynolds is now. Theres not much left of talent in phoenix in Southern Oregon the ferocious wildfires of recent days have reduced most of the 2 small towns to ashes the worst thing ive ever seen in my life its the same up and down the west coast near Boulder Creek california dozens of homes were incinerated heaps of rubble and covered chimneys and burned out vehicles all that remain near los angeles the socalled bobcat fire is only minimally contained it is burning close to the famed mt wilson astronomical observatory and outlying suburbs 23000 firefighters are battling dozens of major fires in california and oregon more than 4000 houses have burned in california alone and tens of thousands of people have been forced to evacuate and drifting over it all a choking shroud of smoke and ash its making skies hazy as far away as new york Portland Seattle and San Francisco now have some of the worst air quality on the planet we started to read it and 95 rather than just that quatermass because of our in s. T. K. To oregon 50 kilometers from Portland Police are allowing residents to return to their homes and assess the damage fires on this scale are unheard of in this part of oregon those have never happened i mean weve had fires you know open up in the national forth before theyve never been this close to the canada and ive lived here 33 years theyve never been that close to me candy evacuated days ago but her home is a total loss has some stranger call you on the phone and tell you that your head. This burning its a total loss is its not something you want to wake up to. Amid the destruction signs of strength and resilience this is another aspect of this terrible disaster people coming together to support one another with donations of free food water and other necessities organizers say so many donations have poured in here they can barely give it all away. People here say they all have to look out for one another oh it is still. Fresh. Breads that anything that we can do to help out families that are needed now thank you you know with the fires and everything with kind of need to make sure that were helping out as much as we can some of the organs fires are now partly contained helped by fever will weather but the trees will likely continue to burn until the autumn rains begin in earnest weeks from now robert oulds aljazeera has to cater oregon. Well lets him now from will steffen whos a counselor at the Climate Council of australia and he says there is no doubt the extreme weather that the u. S. Is facing is being triggered by global warming. The way we say is that theyre being strongly influenced by Climate Change and there are a couple of factors that play into this one where there was the extreme hot conditions which led up to these fires but also in Northern California and oregon and dry conditions and this is sort of a toxic mix for hoarders we saw exactly the same thing happen in australia about 9 or 10 months ago when the enormous finest down here now were seeing it on the other side of the pacific and its a clear fingerprint of Climate Change im making what normally occur anyway fires much worse than that they were before this theres theres a skewness toward more intense tropical cyclones or her fins and there are really 2 factors in play here one is because the atmosphere is warmer than it was 50 or 70 years ago it can actually hold more water vapor so this is super charging the storms to to rain down enormous amounts of water at the same time in terms of storm surges the storms are riding on higher sea levels than were around 70 or 80 years ago so this means that you have a double whammy of more water coming down in the atmosphere its coming down on a higher sea level this actually really exacerbates the storm surge the flooding and the damage that these storms cause. Well it could be explain whats going on here think about this hurricane its just its just sitting there is a dumping rain and its the city of a daisy come on shore and thats exactly the problem with this nick it is just producing to rental amounts of rain let me show you this satellite here it is i mean just actually put the storm almost exactly of course it came on shore a few hours ago but it is really just not moving at all quickly so it just continues to deposit this torrential amounts of rain have a look at this Pensacola Beach which of course is in the Florida Panhandle already 629 millimeters of rain over half a meter of rain has come down it will continue to rain that total will continue to go up in the hours ahead its a very slow moving storm its going to continue throughout wednesday to push into those more southern sections of alabama the winds havent really come down there still very strong sustained at 165 kilometers la moving slowly north northeast and as i say weve been talking about these flash floods of totals up to 700. 00 millimeters this could actually produce even more than that if it continues to muse so slowly and the storm surge of course that is something that will continue to affect these coastal areas now throughout wednesday it will continue to work its way as i say through alabama and then eventually push up towards the northeast very slowly though still so really through thursday day and it begins to push across into areas of the carolinas before that of course had the across into georgia it will continue that journey northeast itll head towards the carolinas as we go through friday by then it wont be a Tropical Storm but what it will do for the next few days of course is continue to deposit these torrential amounts of rain across the entire region that some areas could see another 300. 00 millimeters were looking at widespread flooding across the region yeah its going to continue to cause Serious Problems is that right gerri thanks very much think you know the number of people affected by floods in pseudo has risen to more than 650000 tens of thousands of homes have been diminished by the unprecedented rise of the river nile and as its waters recede residents are struggling to clean up and make paths morgan reports now from culture. This is what the inside of the lattice house looks like now weeks of flooding has damaged or destroyed much of what he has he says hes got no way of draining the water out hiring a water pump is costly and hes lost too much already but he says moving elsewhere after the floods is not an option shadier than my house is about 3 kilometers away from the dial and ive lived here for a number of years. Getting a plot to move elsewhere is costly with todays economy and me and my family cant afford it so all drain the water and hope this doesnt happen again next year. Of the lost his home is one of dozens that have been damaged in his village of kalac in the southern part of sudans capital hard to. Torrential rains caused the nile to rise to levels not seen in more than a century the resulting flood damage to well over 100000 homes around sudan most were just kilometers away as the river burst its banks wiping out villages and towns and displacing more than 600000 people and it forced the government to declare a 3 month state of emergency some chose to stay in their homes despite them being filled with water the man waters have begun receding after nearly 3 weeks and people in the area are hoping to start the recovery but there have been problems with the drainage system and its weakness can be seen on the streets of out of tune after rainfall since the start of the rainy season 2 months ago some of the major highways have been cut off schools and Health Facilities have either been damaged or destroyed its a site that repeats itself every year but meteorologists say this years rains are unprecedented so dans government says its focus is on helping those whove been displaced and preventing water borne diseases but more rains and floods are expected in the coming days and those displaced say the government needs to do more to help them. We want the government to give us a lot so that this doesnt happen again really who live in the banks of the mine we 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 a normal houses collapsed from off. Till 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 are just there are hundreds of them. Now the horrific culmination of failures by boeings engineers and mismanagement thats the conclusion of a us house investigation which blames the plane maker for 2737 max crashes that killed 346 people report says a series of decisions by boeing employees led to the crash of a line there and then ethiopians and one flight within 6 months of each other report also blames play paces blame i should say on the federal Aviation Administration for what it calls grossly insufficient oversight the entire 737 fleet is still grounded worldwide lets speak now to can be how could he joins us live from the white house and kimberly the findings by the House Transport Committee reveal some fatal decisions were made before and in between the 2 crashes. Yeah yet another report and there isnt a lot that is particularly new here in terms of isolation but what this report is is the most comprehensive to date in terms of outlining the failures not only on the part of boeing the manufacturer but also on the part of the federal Aviation Administration or the agency that oversees aviation in the United States often referred to as the f. A. A. What they say in this report by House Democrats in the Transportation Committee is there was a pattern of technical miscalculations management misjudgments an oversight lapses and also a severe lack of accountability when it came to the oversight now what this basically says is there wasnt one singular event that caused these crashes but instead it was the culmination of technical assumptions not only by boeings engineers but also by the lack of transparency by the management so this is a particularly damning report for the company but also it cites gross mismanagement on the part of the f. A. A. So what next where do we go now with this. Yeah well this is a Committee Report so their solution appears to be that this will be rectified through regulation that is going to be through the legislative process but you have to remember that the public is watching this very carefully there was an enormous amount of public backlash over the fact that there were more than 300 People Killed in 2 different crashes october 28 team lion air flight 610 also march 2900 ethiopia air 3 o 2 and what we know from all of this is that essentially what happened in both of those crashes is the planes went into a nosedive which made it difficult for the pilots to pull out there was also a problem with the alert system that would have let them know there was a technical problem before it was too late all of this needs to be fixed House Democrats say that they are going to take this project on through legislation to ensure that this does not happen again or it can be things from as we can be hard to put in there from washington d. C. Plenty more ahead on news on why thousands of refugees in lesbos dont want to relocate to a new shelter after a huge fire destroyed their camp last week. West African Leaders appear to agree a time line for mollys mini treatment and to hand power to civilians. Coming up to the Boston Celtics find the miami heat too hot to handle yeah well have the. Refugees being moved into a new camp on the greek island of lesbos must be processed quickly so they can leave says the u. N. 12000 people were left without shelter when the giant went down last week 6 people due to appear in court over the u. N. Representative in greece has asked for european help to house the residents there are fears that the new cap will suffer the same overcrowding problems as the destroyed site lets talk to Stephanie Decker whos live for us in lesbos and stephanie we saw yesterday perhaps what you could call a slowing trickle of refugees arriving at the nou camp of things changing now. Its kind of the same i think when it comes to numbers you can see a few people behind us but but its been constant this sort of small mostly families at this stage i have to say with their children you see theyre checking their papers they will then get tested for coronado the coronavirus once they enter and then theyll make their way to the camp the camp is continuously expanding at the moment we went in there yesterday and had a look at the early issues we were talking about earlier. Is the fact that its you know right on the shore very open to the elements but certainly at the moment this is the only option that the greek authorities are saying where they can ensure that the refugees in the migrants have you know food shelter and most importantly where theyre going to process their paperwork a lot of people are still reluctant you can probably see them having bought some some some things in some supermarkets ahead and then they pull them back to the street where theyre currently living those that are not in the camp because the conditions in moriarty camp the bar down were so desperate and weve had a visit here of the u. N. Our head of the group office at the u. N. Agency that deals with refugees and i asked him you know they themselves have criticized morea camp whether you know he was satisfied with this one but this is what he had to say its not manageable to manage a camp with 5 times its capacity or even times the capacity to insomuch as we speak you need c. R. Is a pushing the authorities to actually debate the process so that people do not stay too long in these places this is still our message we hope that any new camp does not go. Does not become overcrowded because its unmanageable. So its overcrowded and its also having to do with allowing these people to leave the island and the sense of beating up their paperwork the oth
