In florida and in parts of the caribbean government and aid agencies are preparing for one of the biggest relief operations the region has ever seen. Hurricane irma has now been down graded to a storm but as it travelled across the caribbean to florida it killed at least 30 people and caused widespread destruction. Our first report is from florida where up to six million homes are still without power. Aleem maqbool reports. After a day of darkness and fury, miami opened its eyes to the aftermath. This city is now littered with the debris of the hurricane. Boats were even lifted clean out of the bay and dumped on the shore. People here are emerging from the shelters and barricaded homes to try to start clearing up. So you got out this morning and what did you find . Sheer devastation, everywhere you look. I mean, the parking lots are flooded, cars, trees falling down. In spite of all the preparation, millions are now without power. The financial district of the city has been badly affected. It was underwater during the hurricane, inundated with massive coastal waves as irma past. And across the city on the state, transformers were blown up by the rains, plunging people into darkness. But of course the impact of this storm has been felt far beyond miami. The big concern has been about the florida keys. Because of damage to roads and some of the more remote parts, we still cannot land but this is where Hurricane Irma hit first in florida and its where some of the worst damage could be. Although People Living in the keys have become used to hurricanes, when irma was reported as one of the most powerful ever recorded in the atlantic, most got to say the land. Many are still unable to return to their damaged homes. From some places in the keys there has been access to, it appears the hurricane utterly ravaged houses and belongings. And that goes for the mainland too, in the city of naples in the west of the state, petrol stations and mobile homes were torn apart. Fort lauderdale saw tornadoes as irma came through, parts of the beach were whipped into the city. Even as the storm was still affecting this area, looters took advantage. With millions told to evacuate and so many in shelters, there was little to stop them. And new places are still being affected. In recent hours jacksonville in northern florida was hit by a massive storm surge, flooding the city. They said the impact of irma would be widespread, and it has been.

The turks and Caicos Islands are amongst the most of the lake in the entire caribbean. The most idyllic. The countrys motto is beautiful by nature but those words now sound like a cruel taunt. In the wake of Hurricane Irma and the aftermath of the 160 mile per hour wins that wrecked so much of this country. That is the bedroom and thats another bedroom. That was the bathroom. Homes and possessions that took a lifetime to accumulate, scattered to the winds in the matter of seconds. Daphne williams had lived here the 27 years, it was the home to five adults and four children. People say seeing is believing and i see it but i cannot believe it. Now her family is homeless and she doesnt know what the next few months will bring. I have no idea but i still trust in god, believe in him that whatever happen, he will take us through. This is a british 0verseas territory. They sing the anthem god save the queen and people have british passports so there has been anger about the absence of the uk led aid effort. People feel not so much like british citizens but castaways. Jackie grew up being told by her mother that the british would be there to help, that the royal navy was just over the horizon. She feels badly let down. My message is step up to the plate, come now and help us. We dont want no more speeches, we dont want no more lip service, or pack your bags and leave because if you are not helping you are hurting the turks and Caicos Islands. 0nly only in the last few hours, a contingent of marines have arrived. Up until now, local people have had to be self sufficient. Inhabitants in what for now is a grim place, trying to restore its beauty, trying to rebuild their lives. The aid operation has also begun in the British Virgin islands. The area has been devastated by Hurricane Irma and a state of emergency has been declared. 0ur correspondent laura bicker is on the largest of the islands, tortola, and sent this report. There is now a sense of desperation and fear in tortola. People are hungry, tired and in need of basic supplies. This was the line of traffic trying to get into the main town on the island. Most are heading to the supermarket for the First Time Since the hurricane, now that more roads have been cleared. Have you got enough food, water . No, cause everybody is fighting, and stealing. A lot is going on right now. People are breaking into peoples homes, going with what they have. Its a state of emergency. Outside the store, some have been waiting for the doors to open for eight hours. As only a few people are allowed in, chaos ensues. Were rolling in, were going in. They are worried that supplies are limited. We need water, we need food. We need electricity. Do you think youve had enough help . I dont think so. We need outside help right now. Please get in line for me police and security guards appealfor calm. But after six days of devastation and enduring the worst storm in living memory, these angry scenes proved too much for some to deal with. Were under control, but we didnt expect this mess today. Weve onlyjust got out of our house today. As we were filming, a local government minister approached. We have lots of food arriving tonight, for my supermarket and for this supermarket, and lots of food arriving every day this week. There are also serious concerns about the safety of residents living amongst the rubble. Local police have been working alongside the British Military day and night to try to round up a number of criminals who escaped from a prison damaged by the hurricane. Its added to a sense of panic, especially as people cannot communicate from one side of the island to the other. Rationed Water Supplies are now being handed out with the help of more british troops. They have been a reassuring presence, a welcome sight. We have seen real spirit and strength on this island in the last few days. But residents are realising that it could take years to rebuild and that theyll have to summon a great deal of determination to help raise tortola from this rubble. Laura bicker, bbc news, tortola. The house of commons is debating the first major parliamentary bill of the Brexit Process. The vote on the bill that will transfer all eu laws into british law and pave the way for brexit is not expected to take place until after midnight. Downing street says its confident that the vote will go the governments way despite widespread criticism of the measure for giving too much power to ministers. There are signs of a possible labour rebellion over the legislation which sets out the path for eu law to be incorporated into british law. Jeremy corbyn has ordered his mps to vote against the bill but this has been met by claims that this would lead the uk to a cliff edge of uncertainty. Lets speak to our Political Correspondent alex forsyth who is in westminster the governments argument for this bill is there cant be a black hole went the uk leaves. We need legislation in place. It is essentially to bring all existing eu laws onto big uk statute but the controversial part is that this bill will allow government ministers to allow changes without full parliamentary scrutiny. The labour party says that is unacceptable and it isa party says that is unacceptable and it is a power grab. As you say, Jeremy Corbyn has instructed his mps to vote against the bill. Not all of them will. Some of them will see it asa them will. Some of them will see it as a frustrating to Brexit Process and we have to get on with it because of the results. You have also some people on the other side who voted to romain who will vote against the bill. Some at this stage, it looks at kit will go through. Remain. Some of the tory benches are saying this is necessary to start preparing the uk for its departure from the uk. Get a flavour the debate. Devote against this bill tonight is one that our constituents that sent us here will not accept. In recent days, i have heard a numberof in recent days, i have heard a number of people including the foreign secretary claiming a vote against this bill will be a vote to instruct obstruct the will of the people. That is nonsense. The majority of those that voted, 52 voted to leave the European Union, and on that basis, we must begin the process and see its throat of leaving the European Union. Even if he andi leaving the European Union. Even if he and i dont agree with it. Leaving the European Union. Even if he and i dont agree with it. |j leaving the European Union. Even if he and i dont agree with it. I am not prepared to cede major decisions on our countrys future to the prime minister, the three musketeers and whoever comes after them. As ever, brexit approving a divisive topic but as i say, i think this bill is highly likely to get the support it needs to go onto the next stage. That is not because the government has convinced all of that on this side of the house that the backbenchers are doing the right thing. Rather, they are keeping their powder dry at this stage, preparing fop brexit battles to come down the line. The vote is expected just after midnight tonight, it wont be a nailbiting one but it is likely to be the first of many late nights in the commons as the government tries to get complex and contentious legislation through. This is a sign of things to come. Indeed, alex. This is a live shot of the chamber. You can see one mp on his feet on the right and one on the left. The debate has been going on all day and we will be here with the result tonight. We are expecting it to be after midnight at some point. Suggestion is it could be between about 20 past and 1230. A number of votes this evening. The major one on the great repeal bill to transfer all the eu legislation and rules to the uk that the uk has lived under the uk that the uk has lived under the last years. This is the real beginning of the Brexit Process. One of the controversies surround the bill is based on a historic figure. Henry viii, who knew a thing or two about trying to take back control from europe. This is all about what are known as henry viii clauses, named after the statute of proclamations of 1539, which gave henry the power to legislate by proclamation. The modern day equivalent gives ministers and officials the power to make changes to some laws without full parliamentary scrutiny. This has set alarm bells ringing in many quarters. There are those who argue that it will undermine the ultimate sovereignty of parliament, and those who worry that eu laws that cover things such as workers rights or Environmental Protection could be changed on the quiet. The government says none of that is going to happen and on all the big issues immigration, customs, agriculture there will be separate pieces of legislation. That is why you are hearing a lot about an old king who is now long dead. The headlines on bbc news Hurricane Irma hammers, or is hammering, floridas west coast, causing flooding and leaving millions without electricity.

The un says the 300,000 Rohingya Muslims whove now fled myanmar are victims of ethnic cleansing. Britain and sweden have requested a United NationsSecurity Council meeting on the deteriorating situation in myanmar. It comes after a un senior official said myanmars treatment of Rohingya Muslims is a textbook example of ethnic cleansing. The violence began more than two weeks ago when rohingya fighters attacked police posts in rakhine state. After the governments counter attack, more than 300,000 rohingyas have arrived in neighbouring bangladesh. Reeta chakra barti reports from coxs bazar, close to the border. What is happening in myanmar . Looking across from bangladesh, huge clouds of smoke fill the sky. Military boats patrol the river border. The army is accused of setting fire to Muslim Rohingya villages and of planting landmines in the paths of fleeing people. It denies that it is targeting civilians. We have found evidence to suggest otherwise. This small hospital in coxs bazar has been coping with large numbers of rohingya casualties. In the last week, its had an influx of critically injured people blown up by landmines as they escaped. This person is one of them. Hes 15 years old and unlikely to make it to 16.

Their injuries are so bad, its as if they are dead. Its better that allah takes them. Theyre suffering so much. This woman will pull through, although she too has lost both her legs. She fled myanmar because she said the military had been targeting her community. She was crossing the border with her three sons when she trod ona landmine. Translation they had already gone ahead and i was behind them, and thats when the explosion happened. We had been fired on, shot at, and they planted mines. We have escaped to bangladesh because we have nowhere else to go. This five year old plays with her little brother. She was shot while being carried by her father as the family escaped. The same bullet that hit her killed him. She still cries out for him. She has five other siblings, but in the confusion they were separated. Her desperate mother now cant find them. Translation im in a terrible situation right now. Im really worried. I havent got all my Children Together and ive lost my husband. Ive lost my house. Where do i go . Theres only unhappiness for us. Down the road at the larger central hospital, there are more casualties, crammed into a ward. People on the floor, people in corridors, every space taken. Half of these patients are Rohingya Muslims. This hospital has been inundated since the crisis started just over two weeks ago, and it is struggling to cope. We need medicines, we need surgical equipment, we need manpower, we need everything. And do you not have these . No, no, our government supply is limited. The innocent cant comprehend whats happening to them, but the rohingya people are suffering miserably in this conflict, whatever the myanmar government says. Reeta chakra barti, bbc news, bangladesh.
