This is BBC World News Today with me, Geeta Guru-Murthy. | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
Our top story - the scale of devastation left | :00:10. | :00:11. | |
by Hurricane Matthew becomes clearer as it continues on its | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
These are live pictures from Florida where the massive storm is battering | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
the coast with huge waves and winds gusting at nearly 200 | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Earlier, the hurricane devastated Haiti, where more than 800 | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
people have been killed and thousands displaced. | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
They're calling it the Flash Crash - The Bank of england investigates why | :00:34. | :00:42. | |
the pound plunged 6% on Asian markets before | :00:43. | :00:50. | |
A period of volatility now. Lots of commentary and turbulent markets. | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
Nobel Peace prize for his efforts to end more than fifty years of war | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
We start with a fundraising appeal from aid agencies, as the full | :01:04. | :01:26. | |
impact of Hurricane Matthew on Haiti begins to emerge. | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
More than 800 people are now known to have died. | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
And it's feared the death toll may rise further as rescue teams | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
reach remote areas cut off since the storm. | :01:34. | :01:35. | |
These are the before and after pictures. They give you a sense of | :01:36. | :01:50. | |
the scale of the devastation. Thousands have been displaced. | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
Southern Florida appears to have been spared the | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
... Expected to sweep north next with Georgia next in the line of | :02:03. | :02:13. | |
fire. Millions in coastal states have been told to evacuate. | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
It has been three days since hurricane Matthew hit Haiti, and | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
violent torrents of brown water continued to devastate the poorest | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
In this city, 80% of homes have been lost | :02:22. | :02:30. | |
and the UN has warned of the | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
challenge ahead to restore clean water and sanitation. | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
Right now, most people lost everything, | :02:35. | :02:36. | |
Haiti is already in the grip of a cholera epidemic. | :02:37. | :02:45. | |
In this environment, with sewage | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
ditches for the floodwater, the disease could spread. | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
350,000 people are thought to need immediate help. | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
My son and I are sick and we still haven't | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
I need to go back home because my kids have a fever, so I | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
After leaving a trail of utter destruction across the Caribbean, | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
the storm is stalking the Florida coastline. | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
It has been described by | :03:18. | :03:18. | |
1.5 million people were told to leave | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
coastal areas and find shelter and stay there. | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
Most heeded the | :03:29. | :03:29. | |
A curfew was also in place until Saturday morning in some | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
Wind of over 100 mph crashed with power lines, cutting | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
supplies to tens of thousands of homes. | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
So far, the East Coast seems to have been spared the worst, but | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
officials fear that complacency will set | :03:49. | :03:49. | |
in and people will leave their | :03:50. | :03:51. | |
I want to emphasise to everybody that this is | :03:52. | :04:02. | |
The potential for storm surge, flooding, loss of life and | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
severe property damage continues to exist. | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
storms, but Matthew is proving to be unpredictable. | :04:12. | :04:18. | |
It is also taking its time, as it travels up the coast. | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
Florida is not out of danger just yet. | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
Let's get the latest from the BBC's Liliet Heredero, who's in Miami. | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
Give us a picture of what it is like. It is fine today in Miami. The | :04:34. | :04:42. | |
city is returning to normal. We were all in doors and the city was a | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
ghost town. Yesterday, but we have been spared of the worst. The city | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
is returning to normal. It remains a category three hurricane, really | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
strong. It is pounding the North East of Florida. Winds are still 120 | :04:59. | :05:06. | |
miles an hour. The latest advertisers from the National | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
hurricane Centre said the storm is around 30 miles of Daytona Beach. It | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
could impact Jacksonville and the north-east cities shortly. If | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
there's something positive, it is that is not made landfall. The eye | :05:22. | :05:29. | |
of the storm has remained overwater. That is what is the most powerful | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
winds so it hasn't impacted Florida yet. That does not mean it isn't a | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
dangerous storm however. The word on everyone pass mouths is the storm | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
surge. That is the main worry, all the coastal flooding that could | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
impact cities on the north-east. Authorities reminding people it is | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
not safe to go back to their homes, millions of people evacuated in | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
Florida, Georgia and North Carolina. 800,000 people are without power in | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
Florida. Still a difficult situation in the north-east of Florida. How | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
quickly is the storm moving? How quickly before people know the worst | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
as? It is not work the Lee moving fast. 30 mph. -- not moving very | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
fast. Friday into Saturday we will do the impact of wind and a storm | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
surge. Then it'll moved to Georgia and South Carolina so it will still | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
have an impact over the weekend. The US Secretary of State, | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
John Kerry, says Russia's actions in support of the Syrian Government | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
demand a war crimes investigation. Mr Kerry accused Moscow | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
and the Government in Damascus of having a targeted strategy | :06:46. | :06:48. | |
to terrorise civilians Russia and the regime owe the world | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
more than an explanation about why they keep hitting hospitals | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
and medical facilities, These are acts that | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
beg for an appropriate And those who commit these | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
would and should be held This is a targeted strategy | :07:12. | :07:19. | |
to terrorise civilians. The UN Security Council is expected | :07:20. | :07:39. | |
to vote on Saturday on a draft Drafted by the French and Spanish, | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
the plan would include an end to all military flights | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
over the city. But Russia has indicated that | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
it'll block the proposal. Will any other countries | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
follow Britain out of Well if Marine le Pen has her way, | :07:57. | :07:59. | |
France will be making a Frexit The leader of the Front National has | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
been speaking to the BBC's Stephen Sakur on Hardtalk | :08:05. | :08:13. | |
and started by explaining just how significant | :08:14. | :08:15. | |
June's Brexit vote in the UK was. But your problem is that | :08:16. | :09:09. | |
all of the polling evidence since the Brexit vote | :09:10. | :09:11. | |
is that the French people do not actually want to leave | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
the European Union. In fact more French people today say | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
that they want to remain inside than before the British vote, | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
so you are actually not expressing And you can see the full interview | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
with Marine le Pen on Hardtalk The Bank of England is looking | :09:25. | :09:52. | |
into what caused a short, but sharp fall in the value | :09:53. | :10:14. | |
of the pound on Asian markets. At one point, sterling | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
briefly hit a low of $1.18. Meanwhile, UK Chancellor Phillip | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
Hammond, who is on a visit to the US, has reiterated | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
there will be "ups and downs" for the economy in the wake | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
of the Brexit vote. He's been speaking to our | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
Economics Editor Kamal Markets respond to noises off and, | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
as I said earlier this week, we're going to go through a period | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
of volatility now. There will be lots of | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
commentary going on. We can expect to see markets | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
being more turbulent The Government should take | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
the necessary measures to be able to respond to it to keep the economy | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
going during this period. Aren't markets saying | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
they are hugely concerned about the uncertainty, | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
the lack of transparency over how Britain will actually | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
negotiate its exit There's bound to be uncertainty, | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
but the important thing is, to look through the movements | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
of currency markets, the short-term movements | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
of sentiment at the fundamentals The fastest growing economy | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
in the G7 this year, record high employment rates | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
and very high levels of growth We go into this period of turbulence | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
fundamentally strong and that should There's been a lot of talk | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
about your approach to spending, some people have said that you're | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
looking to spend a huge amount more on infrastructure and | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
borrow more to do that. Can we expect a spending splurge | :11:42. | :11:43. | |
ahead? What we have said we're | :11:44. | :11:45. | |
going to do is create, within a new fiscal framework, | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
enough space for the Government to be able to respond | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
to the turbulence in the economy As we go through this period, | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
we want to be able to provide fiscal At the moment, I can't predict | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
whether that will be necessary at the time | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
of the Autumn Statement in November. Now a look at some of | :12:09. | :12:16. | |
the days other news. The brother of a man accused | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
of attacking two Brussels police officers with a knife on Wednesday | :12:20. | :12:22. | |
has been charged with One officer was stabbed | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
in the neck and another The Belgian authorities have said | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
they believe the attacker has links India says it will completely | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
seal its border with It says the border would be secured | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
using new technology although a specific plan | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
was still being formulated. Relations between India and Pakistan | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
have been deteriorating since the start of a security | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
operation in Indian-administered The South African Nobel laureate, | :12:53. | :12:54. | |
Archbishop Desmond Tutu, has said that when the time comes | :12:55. | :12:57. | |
he wants the option Writing in the Washington Post, | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
he said he did not want to be Archbishop Tutu, who's 85, | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
has been in and out The peace award that bears the name | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
of founder Alfred Nobel has gone this year to the Colombian | :13:08. | :13:19. | |
president, Juan Manuel Santos, for his efforts to end | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
Colombia's long civil war. The chair of the Norwegian committee | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
which chose the winner from a record 376 nominations, | :13:25. | :13:26. | |
said Mr Santos had initiated negotiations that resulted | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
in a peace accord with FARC guerillas aimed at bringing more | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
than 50 years of conflict to an end. Our Chief International | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
Correspondent, Lyse Doucet, reports. It had been one of the world's | :13:35. | :13:36. | |
longest, most brutal wars. A byword for kidnappings, | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
disappearances, murder. The peace deal signed last | :13:42. | :13:49. | |
week by President Santos and his oldest enemy the FARQ | :13:50. | :13:57. | |
was a historic, emotional moment. World leaders came to | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
Colombia to salute it. Then, days later, Colombians | :14:05. | :14:06. | |
rejected its narrowly A shocking setback after years | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
of negotiations and secret talks. But today, for President Santos, | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
a vote of confidence. The world's most prestigious | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
prize for a peacemaker. Not in my name, but in the name | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
of all Colombians, and especially the millions affected by this | :14:21. | :14:28. | |
conflict over 52 years. Colombians, this prize | :14:29. | :14:30. | |
is for all of you, for the victims When I met the president in Colombia | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
last week, he admitted winning real peace would be | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
as hard as waging war. The signature of the deal is simply | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
the end of conflict. Reconstructing our country, | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
a country at war for 50 years. It is a country that has destroyed | :14:48. | :14:54. | |
many of its values and principles. Even the peace prize divides | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
a people who have lived Paolo, an engineer, says | :15:00. | :15:08. | |
it is excellent that Santos It will help the peace | :15:09. | :15:16. | |
process, he says. The critics demand tougher | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
punishments for the Farq. Supporters say President Santos | :15:24. | :15:31. | |
offered the best deal he could. 50 years of war means | :15:32. | :15:39. | |
decades of distrust. The peace prize has gone to a nation | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
that isn't at peace. A British member of the European | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
parliament, who was involved in an incident that left a fellow | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
MEP in hospital In his first account of the events | :15:52. | :15:53. | |
in Strasbourg on Thursday, Mike Hookem, said that he acted | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
in self-defence when a fellow member of the UK Independence party, | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
Steven Woolfe, came at him. There was no punches thrown, | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
there was no face slapping, As people in Hull would say, | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
it was handbags at dawn. new Russian journalist was done is | :16:11. | :16:40. | |
done ten years ago. It took two trials seven years to bring her | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
killers to justice. But the investigation into her death is not | :16:47. | :16:56. | |
complete. Around 4pm in 2006, October, the journalist was shot at | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
home in her left. She wasn't the first and wooden spoon the last to | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
be shot. But she was writing about the war and a strong critic. The | :17:10. | :17:22. | |
killers were from Chechnya. Who ordered the killing? Will paid for | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
it? We still do not know. By coincidence, this week saw the start | :17:30. | :17:37. | |
of another murder trial. Those accused of giving him from Chechnya. | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
Then the case goes cold, who ordered the killing? We don't know. Anna | :17:45. | :17:53. | |
Politkovskaya was the Russian journalist remembered at the moment. | :17:54. | :18:05. | |
When US forces arrived in the Philippines this month | :18:06. | :18:13. | |
The president says he wants to be less dependent on America. | :18:14. | :18:19. | |
When US forces arrived in the Philippines this month | :18:20. | :18:21. | |
for the start of what had become annual joint exercises, | :18:22. | :18:23. | |
they appeared to be cementing a military relationship that goes | :18:24. | :18:26. | |
back decades and is one of the closest the US | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
But with the election of this man, Rodrigo Duterte, as president, this | :18:29. | :18:37. | |
Shockingly outspoken, and aligning himself | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
with the anti-American left in the Philippines, he has already | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
said he wants the exercises to end and that he wants closer ties | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
And he has bristled with indignation at US criticism of his | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
Instead of helping us, the first to hit was the State Department, | :18:58. | :19:06. | |
The US has responded by insisting that the alliance is still strong | :19:07. | :19:15. | |
and ignoring Mr Duterte's explosive comments. | :19:16. | :19:17. | |
After all, the two countries only recently signed a ten year agreement | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
allowing the US to operate military bases here once again, | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
and stipulating joint patrols in the South China Sea. | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
That is where the Philippines is currently struggling to bat off | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
But comments by Mr Duterte's Defence Secretary today | :19:35. | :19:44. | |
suggest he is already downgrading military relations. | :19:45. | :19:46. | |
Delfin Lorenzana told journalists that the US had already been | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
informed there would be no joint patrols. | :19:53. | :19:54. | |
He also reiterated that his country was seeking | :19:55. | :19:56. | |
Speaking about equipment in China and Russia. | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
Let's check out what they are offering to us. | :20:02. | :20:09. | |
Just how far president Rodrigo Duterte intends to break | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
After seeing his ruthless anti-drugs campaign, | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
though, people are learning to take his dramatic | :20:20. | :20:21. | |
But the Philippines Armed Forces are fully equipped | :20:22. | :20:32. | |
Without strong US backing, they offer little in the way | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
of bargaining strength to the president when he starts | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
but will surely be very tough negotiations with China | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
Now is it just a prank or simply plain creepy? | :20:42. | :20:55. | |
Police are warning pranksters who are posing as "killer clowns" | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
and terrifying children and young adults that they could face arrest. | :20:58. | :21:00. | |
The sightings, which started in the United States, | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
now appear to have come to Britain with several reports | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
of people having frightening encounters involving clowns. | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
The sinister craze has been encouraged on social media | :21:07. | :21:08. | |
where people have shared photos and videos of the scary sightings. | :21:09. | :21:14. | |
Could London learn a thing or two from Amsterdam | :21:15. | :22:10. | |
when it comes to boosting its night-time economy? | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
The Dutch capital says business is booming - | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
and crime is down - thanks, in part, to the appointment | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
of a special mayor to champion its 24-hour culture. | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
It's an idea the British capital is now adopting. | :22:22. | :22:24. | |
Is this the new city that doesn't sleep? | :22:25. | :22:32. | |
Amsterdam, a 24-7, or for its residents | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
I am the night time mayor of Amsterdam. | :22:40. | :22:52. | |
His role for the last two years has been to boost | :22:53. | :22:55. | |
the night-time economy, a job London is now copying. | :22:56. | :22:57. | |
We joined him on an evening out to listen to what | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
It proved tricky at times in this party capital. | :23:01. | :23:08. | |
We introduced a lot of things and this is what you get. | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
In nightlife, this is people having fun. | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
Amsterdam's so-called nightmare bridges the gap between pub and club | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
owners and City Hall officials worried about anti-social behaviour. | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
When there is a problem, the first reaction of city officials | :23:28. | :23:30. | |
is often that we have to stop this now. | :23:31. | :23:32. | |
We explain to the Mayor and politicians that nightlife | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
is something which has value for the city for social, | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
Well, while some London clubs have been shut down, Amsterdam has been | :23:39. | :23:46. | |
They get extra opening hours if they keep the square more safe | :23:47. | :23:55. | |
Their benefit is they can stay open longer, which of course | :23:56. | :24:05. | |
And despite more people out and about for a longer, | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
And they say these so-called hosts have helped. | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
Basically what we do, we help people in Amsterdam. | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
We help drug people getting home in the taxi and a lot of the time, | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
people want to fight, we try to get between them and sold | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
the problem and get them in another club. | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
20 are on patrol tonight in what is the city's | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
Jointly paid for by the council and bars. | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
A big part of the Dutch idea is to create more 24-7 | :24:37. | :24:38. | |
And they think London should do the same. | :24:39. | :24:44. | |
Some people would love the idea of a 24 hour party paradise. | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
For others, it will fill them with dread, thinking it will bring | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
more violence, more noise and just generally more problems. | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
But Amsterdam's night mayor says London's borrowers must stop killing | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
the night-time economy and open their eyes | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
Introducing the role of the night mayor in London would be a really | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
good first step to help with the dialogue about nightlife. | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
But you can't wave your magic wand around and change it all, | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
so it will be small steps, building it up, which is really | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
important - and make Londoners proud of their nightlife again. | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
So, because everybody knows nobody is moving to London for the better. | :25:26. | :25:33. | |
