tonight a quarter of a million people are without power with storm surges and serious flooding in multiple locations along florida's gulf coast. we'll bring you reaction, including the thoughts of our panel tonight, joel rubin, former advisor to the us state department and the uk editor at politico jack blanchard. both will have a view onjames cleverley�*s controversial visit today to beijing. we will also talk about the equally contentious, land grab that china has just peformed in their latest edition of the world map. good evening. we are still to learn the full extent of the damage in florida. mercifully the hurricane came ashore this morning in an areas of the gulf coast that is far less populated than the city of tampa further to the south. but forecasters say the seas rose 9 ft in two hours in the big bend area of the coast, and they project that level of of flooding will submerges areas some 3 miles in from the coast, with water up to 4 feet deep. that is going to bring significant to catastrophic damage to cedar key, steinhatchee, and the coast along taylor and dixie counties. and you will see from this time lapse video just how quickly the waters rise, when pushed by winds that at that moment as it came ashore were up over 125 mph. i was telling in you the last hour that this big bend area of florida traps all the water, like a giant baseball mitt. and plenty of photos on line now of roads online now of roads and ground floors sumberged. tampa avoided the worst of it, but you will see there was still considerable flooding, and tonight there's a king tide which is going exacerbate the problems. nowhere for the water to go. as for the storm itself, that has has eased from a category 3 as it came ashore to a categoryi storm heading over georgia towards the carolinas. but important to note, that really the categorisation of a storm like this 150 miles across, doesn't correspond to the damage it can still cause. so plenty of flood warnings tonight in georgia as well. our correspondent helena humphrey joins us now from cedar key. we spoke with her on a road on the way into cedar key. she was dry at that moment, but you can see she is not standing in the water. my word, we can see the damage behind you. it is utterly devastating, christian. we are one of the first teams that's been able to get into cedar key and the last hour or so and the devastation, as you can see behind me, speaks for itself. if you take a look in this direction, you can see that small cream to brick shelter, i mean, it'sjust been that small cream to brick shelter, i mean, it's just been completely hollowed out. if you take a look over here, remnants of people's lives, doris tossed off hinges, a microwave, a flatscreen tv. they have just been blown out of these houses. —— doors to tossed off hinges. we have heard people in this immunity i think but now authorities have got to come in and surveyed the scale of the damage. you can see over in that direction a completely flattened area where a house once stood. you can see rather poignantly there i sign saying for sale where there i sign saying for sale where there is nothing left standing and we also understand that in this area there was a bed and breakfast, a hotel, half of it was just washed into the gulf. this is the issue here. it wasn'tjust into the gulf. this is the issue here. it wasn't just the winds here. it wasn'tjust the winds that were devastating, this was the issue, really. that storm surge which was coming in off the golf there. and at times, it was coming in at seven feet. essentially what it has done is washed all this water in. you can see on the ground all that sand, that might come sea water, and as a result, no power here, no sewage system here right now. no clean water. we understand, as mentioned, that everybody has managed to get out. but we understand there were concerns from people who wanted to stay in this area. i spoke to them and asked why they wanted to stay, did you not get they wanted to stay, did you not get the warning from authorities? they say that they did but in the past, there has just been tropical storms here because florida is absolutely huge. it may have experience with hurricanes, but in terms of this area, many people say they are used to writing up these tropical storms with a bottle of wine, they say, with a bottle of wine, they say, with some playing cards. but what you can see here is a whole different category of destruction left in the wake. irate different category of destruction left in the wake.— different category of destruction left in the wake. we 'ust heard from the governor _ left in the wake. we 'ust heard from one gvrnor of — left in the wake. we just heard from the governor of florida _ left in the wake. we just heard from the governor of florida who - left in the wake. we just heard from the governor of florida who said - the governor of florida who said that the people in these communities, and there is all been accounted for, as he said there was accounted for, as he said there was a mandatory evacuation order in place. they will need such an enormous amount of help notjust there but right across this gulf coast. where is the help positioned and how quickly will it get there? absolutely. this morning i was in jacksonville, was speaking to power line workers around 40,000 have been positioned across the state. one man said usually as a rule of thumb, category three, we are looking at three weeks of power line repairs. category four, at least four weeks. he says in rural communities like the one that i am in right now, we are talking about people potentially sitting for months on end, he said, in the dark. so that is one issue. all sorts of other issues in terms of shelter needs. i was up in gainesville as well going into a shelter, around 80 people. that was mostly on housed people, people who didn't have anywhere to go, they were particularly worried about those people, people with pets as well who said they didn't want to leave their animals behind. so fema have said along with presidentjoe biden that they will be getting all the resources necessary to this area. you only have to think about what we have seen in the last three weeks. we have seen those devastating wildfires in maui that fema is having to deal with, and now we are seeing this issue here in florida. i have to point out, this isn't even the peak of the hurricane season here right now. deanne criswell was speaking about the fema administrator saying you've got this issue where waters are just so much warmer. we see two to three celsius, six fahrenheit warmer waters on average. as meteorologists put it here, that is essentially rocket fuel for these hurricanes as they make their way slow moving across the golf, across the atlantic as they then make landfall. all of theseissues they then make landfall. all of these issues that authorities are having to contend with and deal with at the moment. it having to contend with and deal with at the moment.— at the moment. it gives us a good idea of what _ at the moment. it gives us a good idea of what people _ at the moment. it gives us a good idea of what people are _ at the moment. it gives us a good idea of what people are coming i at the moment. it gives us a good i idea of what people are coming back to. thank you very much for that reporting. bringing in our panel, the one thing i am struck by, jack, when i watch that, there are entire communities notjust in florida but are built in flood zones all around the united states who have really now going to have to face this new reality. this is an area that has not been hit by hurricanes for over 125 years. now they stand in this giant flood zone with the prospect that hurricanes like this could be more frequent and they might face this into the future. that's right. it's not a problem that's restricted to the united states. countries all around the world or many of them are seeing flooding in areas they have never seen it before. we've seen it in the uk, people buying houses in good faith, some years ago now finding that suddenly they too are at risk of flooding in a way they never were before. this isjust going to be a story that we are telling more and more over the years and decades ahead, even if we do manage to get a grip of carbon emissions. that will take a long time. temperatures are going to keep increasing and that sort of weather event is going to become more and more common. it feels like you switch on the news every weekend somewhere else around the world is having some notjust a weather disaster, but one historic level, it wasn't very long ago, last week we talked about a tropical storm in california that we haven't seen the likes of in the better part of 100 years. the temperatures we have seen in southern europe have been some of the hottest ever. last month was the hottest month ever recorded on planet planet earth. it's a terribly worrying story to tell. the individual tales that we've been hearing about our heartbreaking, but the bigger picture is even more terrifying. figs picture is even more terrifying. as jack says, what is extraordinary about this particular storm isn't passed over cuba, a tropical storm, then within 24 hours it was category four hurricane heading into an area that we have never seen hurricanes before. the size and scale and speed with which it moved is terrifying. the yes, it is terrifying. we are seeing these events more and more frequently to the neck as jack described. and the question that you posed earlier about climb described. and the question that you posed earlier abou— posed earlier about climb into resilience. — posed earlier about climb into

obviously spots an opportunity he needs to look like a commander—in—chief of the next few days. he is marching around the state. but he doesn't believe this is real, he doesn't believe the climate

clobbering his state around the head right now, and whatever people believe, you know, this is coming for many, many people living around the world. so i think the point about resilience is a bit good one. it's almost separate to what is left of the debate about carbon emissions and how best we tackle this wider problem. lots and lots of communities need to be a resilience right now. we need to be thinking about next year's storms in next year's lead the next year's forest fires and how we are going to tackle that. howeverwhile fires and how we are going to tackle that. however while the world doesn't it's hard to be super optimistic about that in terms of cutting carbon emissions over the short to medium—term, things need to be done right now to protect people's homes and livelihoods because these are life threatening incidents on huge scale. it because these are life threatening incidents on huge scale.— incidents on huge scale. it cost them $89 _ incidents on huge scale. it cost

hurricane that came ashore near fort myers. that is the scale of the cost of state governments when these things happen. so it is real and a big strategic threat. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. police are appealing for information after an award—winning poet went missing at a rural music festival. gboyega 0du—banjo was last seen at the shambala festival in northamptonshire, at around four o'clock on saturday morning. the 27—year—old, from south london, had been due to perform at the event in kelmarsh on sunday, but didn't arrive for his set. his family say his disappearance is "entirely out of character for him". a man's been charged with conspiracy to commit burglary after a break—in at the home of the chelsea footballer raheem sterling during the qatar world cup. the player left the england squad to return home to his family after the incident last year. 23—year—old emiliano krosi from essex has been remanded in custody to appear at guildford crown court next month. here, the government says that tougher, eu style equal pay protections will stay for women in the uk.the stricter rules — helping workers whose jobs are outsourced — were axed in a post—brexit purge of eu laws. but ministers have pledged the extra rights will be written in to uk law. you're live with bbc news. the uk's foreign secretaryjames cleverly has hit back at conservative party critics on the first day of his trip to china. it is the first time in five years a foreign secretary has travelled to beijing. but his visit not universally supported within the cabinet or on the backbenches. mr cleverly said he recognised the concerns, but to consciously withdraw, he said, and not utilise the uk's standing in the world would be seen as a sign of weakness, not a sign of strength. i fundamentally disagree with those voices, including people i regard as good friends, who feel that we should disengage with china. i don't think that is a credible option. i do believe we have influence and i do believe we should use that influence. again, as i set out in my mansion house speech, i'm realistic that that influence is not going to have an instant reaction, which is why we have to be patient and we have to be consistent. we all know that president xi has taken a more belligerent approach to foreign policy in recent years — it has been described as wolf warrior diplomacy. the former australian pm malcolm turnbull this that has backfired. it is important he says at this point that the west remains strong. it doesn't matter whether you are in the international arena or in the schoolyard, if you give in to bullies, you will get bullied more often. sucking up is not the way to go. not to the diplomacy thatjoel is used to at the us state department, never used the term sucking up. it does sucking up work? is it useful? you know, we are very much kind—hearted in the state department. no tough words

fantastic place right now and has not been for some time now so there is an argument that britain is not really in a position to pick and choose. i do think that actually the key players in the western world are reasonably aligned on this now. there is a lot of internal discussion about how to deal with the rise of china and i don't actually think you are seeing an enormous amount of difference between british, american and other western positions on this. we have seen a series of diplomatic missions to beijing this year. in fact over the last 12 months, blink and has been from the us. the key players from the eu have as well. compared to the other most important diplomats. i think it is only that shortlist places on the tory backbenchis shortlist places on the tory backbench is suggesting that we shouldn't talk to china at all. you know, it is about the level of engagement and it is about the sort of concessions, if that is the right word, that you are prepared to get to try to get something in return. the truth is that there is very little that you can achieve on the global stage, stuff that really matters without at least some sort of buy—in or acquiescence of the world's other great superpowers. it's going to be that way for a long time by the looks of things. so most politicians have said some form of engagement has to happen. i said engagement has to happen. i said that china was _ engagement has to happen. i said that china was less _ engagement has to happen. i said that china was less belligerent. they were going a different way. india today large strong protests with china over this new map that they've drowned that it lays claim to part of its territory. so the chinese have printed the 23 edition of the standard map and china has co—opted two areas that are claimed by india, the northeastern state and the disputed... which is interesting because they've also claimed sole ownership of this island which is divided between china and russia. taiwan and large parts of the south china sea also claimed as sovereign land. you see, but we can do is do away with this and redraw the map how we would want that. and that is the solution. itjust shows last week, he was with the indian prime minister at the summit talking about a less belligerent approach on the border, and then they do something like this. a, , border, and then they do something like this. , ., like this. may be someone in the chinese government _ like this. may be someone in the chinese government didn't - like this. may be someone in the chinese

want to talk about an issue that was discussed yesterday on the programme aboutjoe biden's age. 69% think the president at 80 is too old to run again. well, today, the senate minority leader mitch mcconnell, one of the most powerful people in america, appeared to freeze again during a gaggle with reporters in covington, kentucky. he was asked whether he would run again for office. watch. what are your thoughts on running for re—election in 2026? what are my thoughts about what? running for re—election in 2026. oh, that's did you hear the question, senator? running for re—election in 2026? all right, i'm sorry, y'all, - we're going to need a minute. senator 0k. nobody wants to see that. a long—time politician in the united states. age will be right at the heart of the presidential election. these things can happen when you are much older. riff these things can happen when you are much older. _, , , .., much older. of course they can. let's much older. of course they can. let's not — much older. of course they can. let's not forget _ much older. of course they can. let's not forget that _ much older. of course they can. let's not forget that donald - much older. of course they can. i let's not forget that donald trump looks likely to be the candidate will be just about 80 by the end of it, i haven't done the maps before i came on. he's not far off. from abroad, from overseas, from the other side of you that make united states. the whole thing is quite extraordinary that the country's political system seems to feel that the most able candidates of all for the most able candidates of all for the most able candidates of all for the most importantjobs notjust in the most importantjobs notjust in the country but in the whole world are people who are in their late 70s and 805. no are people who are in their late 705 and 805. no disrespect to people about age, but you would think that there would be a broader range of candidates than that. i think this sort of scene that we've seen there, and of course we saw sort of scene that we've seen there, and of course we 5anoe biden falling over not very long ago. it is going to be played out more and more. if these characters continue to dominate american politics for the next political row, which is going to happen. the next political row, which is going to happen-— the next political row, which is going to

politicians are living longer. should there be an age limit on when you can stand and run? you know, i on when you can stand and run? you know. i served _ on when you can stand and run? you know, i

come back and talk about twitter on the other side and political ads. stay with us. hello. big contrasts in our weather on thursday. many northern and eastern areas will enjoy the sunshine, whereas further south, cloudy with outbreaks of rain. and here's the approaching weather front. you can see it's just to the west of us, ahead of it, the skies are clear. and that's good news because some of us want to still catch a glimpse of that super blue moon. so yes, clear spells across the bulk of the uk, but later on we'll see those clouds increasing in the south—west and eventually it'll turn wet. why is it called a super blue moon? well super because the moon is at its closest approach to earth this year, so it'll appear bigger and brighter, and it's also the second full moon of the month. normally we get one, but this is the second one. so once in the blue moon, not that the two sayings are necessarily all that related, but anyway, here it is clear skies across many northern and eastern areas through early thursday out towards the west. we've got that weather front approaching. wet weather in the south—west, the west country, of course, wales — not cold here, ten, 12 degrees. but with the clearer skies in scotland, it's closer to seven in edinburgh and aberdeen. so the morning starts off bright, if not sunny, and that's how it's going to stay for most of the day here. beautiful weather, stunning in the north—east of scotland, but out towards the west, thick cloud with outbreaks of rain for northern ireland, for wales, parts of the midlands, but particularly i think across the south here. and that rain will come and go. it'll be intermittent at times and also heavy, even the possibility of some rumbles of thunder. and if anything come the evening on thursday, the rain could turn heavier still. eventually on friday, that rain shears off to the near continent. but then there's still a few showers here across parts of northern england. the temperatures over the
