Hurricane Irma continues its deadly rampage across the Caribbean.

And now, there's another hurricane coming up behind it.

In Barbuda, where there's already overwhelming destruction,

a mass evacuation is happening now to escape a second hit.

Everybody will tell you the same - they're not coping.

Everyone is in the same situation - and nobody can't help one another.

Amid criticism from MPs, Britain's relief effort is underway

to the British Overseas Territories affected.

Irma is heading for Florida, where those who can are leaving -

others are hunkering down and hoping for the best.

Today is the day to do the right thing for your family

This storm is wider than our entire state.

We'll be looking at the devastation wrought by the hurricane so far,

and looking at whether there's worse to come.

hurricanes ever recorded, is still passing through

the Caribbean, and is forecast to hit the United States on Saturday.

Already devastated by Irma, the islanders are racing to evacuate

to neighbouring Antigua, before Hurricane Jose makes landfall.

The island of Barbuda was once a Caribbean paradise.

Hurricane Irma has reduced it to rubble.

The ruins lie scattered, torn and ripped apart.

Having survived the worst storm in living memory,

and knowing another is on the way, people are exhausted, hungry,

I'm just waiting to get evacuated from here,

and then I'm going to come back and try and salvage

Everybody will tell you the same - they're not coping.

The core of the hurricane carved a cruel and deadly path

A two-year-old died, drowned as her mother tried

But incredibly, the rest of the people on this island

Don't worry, we're going to get you off the island and we're

going to get you to safety and you'll be taken care of.

The Prime Minister has travelled from neighbouring Antigua

We're going to get you all off the island very soon.

He knows this is a race against time before Hurricane Jose arrives

We heard him haggling for every boat, helicopter or plane to help

But fear starts to spread that not everyone will get out in time.

The sheer horrifying scale of the devastation here means that

That means that the whole island will have to be rebuilt.

And the government has already admitted it simply

The hope is that the funds will come from somewhere.

We're hoping that, you know, friendly governments

and international partners will step up to the plate and assist us.

They should not see this as a form of, let's say,

the Prime Minister and the people of Antigua and Barbuda coming

This is a disaster, a national disaster.

The fragments of people's lives now lie in ruins.

They can only hope that one day, they will once again

But for now, they must leave by any means possible,

And they don't know when they will return.

There's been criticism, including from MPs,

of the Government's response to the hurricane.

Three RAF aid flights are being sent to the Caribbean as part

of the relief effort to the British overseas territories.

So, you know, you've got to get as much together as you can,

and plan for the worst, hope for the best.

There are five low-lying islands in the archipelago

which the authorities are particularly concerned about,

which is why the government here has ordered the biggest evacuation

But there are fears already for people who have stayed behind -

people who have defied those evacuation orders, people

who believe they can ride out this storm.

In hurricane-hit St Martin, this natural disaster has been

As for Britain, it's stepped up its aid effort

following criticism it's been slow to respond.

RAF planes carrying equipment are now on their way.

And the Government says it's planning for the longer term.

What will be the reconstruction needs for these

What support will they need, and what can we give?

And we remain committed to ensure that that long-term work is done

and that reconstruction work is done, and we provide

So far, it's small Caribbean islands like St Martin that are being hit

by winds with the power to hurl containers through the air.

But all the time, Irma is barrelling towards the American mainland,

threatening destruction on a much larger scale.

Well, in Florida, the governor is warning

its 20 million residents to prepare to evacuate.

Around half a million people have already been ordered

to leave their homes, and the highways are clogged

with cars making their way out of the state.

Our plan is to just wait in the airport until Sunday,

because they're adamant that our flight

But I just can't really see that happening.

I think it's more the inconvenience of being here and not

knowing when you're going home, what's happening.

I feel, like, the airport's quite a safe building to be in.

The area they had been staying in, normally packed with tourists,

is in the evacuation zone, and has been all but abandoned.

Well, just extraordinary to see Miami's iconic South Beach

as deserted as this, but it is an indication of just

how seriously people here are taking the warnings,

particularly having seen the type of destruction that's been wrought

If they are coming here, it's to fill pillowcases with sand,

to barricade their homes before Irma hits.

Donald Trump himself will be affected.

His Florida resort Mar-a-Lago has been forced to close,

Right across this state, there's a sense that

time is running out - to protect property...and lives.

Well, as well as the damage that is likely to be caused directly by the

strength of the winds in this hurricane, the other big fear is of

a massive storm surge, huge waves, which will because when it hits.

That's why I will not be able to stand where I am standing now, but

it is also why there are huge fears about these and other buildings

across the city, and to people as well, though. A great deal of

anxiety, which is why we are already seeing in some cases storm shutters

full to capacity. Young offenders from ethnic

a Labour MP that recommends delaying David Lammy's report highlights how

are overrepresented in the criminal The Lammy Review says it's

about highlighting inequality in the way people who have committed

crimes are judged and punished. When we are describing groups

of young ethnic minorities, in particular black,

the term "gang" is used. Swathes of young people who may not

necessarily be serious gang members, they may be affiliated,

loosely affiliated to a gang, they may live in a gang

a dramatic increase The refugees, from the country's

Muslim Rohingya minority, are fleeing an army

crackdown against insurgents. The UN says 270,000 people have

crossed into Bangladesh Many of them accuse Myanmar's army

of indiscriminate atrocities. Our correspondent Jonathan Head

reports from the north of Rakhine province,

where he's seen evidence of the operation to drive

Rohingya Muslims from their homes. This is northern Rakhine state,

two weeks after attacks by Rohingya militants provoked a ferocious

backlash from the army Muslim villages are still being

razed to the ground, their inhabitants driven in vast

numbers over into Bangladesh. These are scenes I was

not supposed to see. I'd been invited on a government-run

tour of the troubled We could only see places

the government approved of. Even so, the devastation

we witnessed was staggering. Village after village,

destroyed or deserted. The military officer in charge

of border security told us that it is the Muslim terrorists,

as he calls the Rohingya militants, who are burning down the villages

to force the people away Of all the villages that

have been burnt down, have they all been burnt down

by Muslim militants? Is that what we are saying,

all of them, 100%? But why, then, is this

town still smouldering, two weeks after it was first

attacked and days after its Muslim Why could we see more smoke rising

ominously in the distance? We were taken to a Rakhine

Buddhist village. Hatred and fear of Muslims

is intense here, all the more Like the government,

they don't accept that Rohingyas, Bengalis, they call them,

belong in Myanmar. We don't like, never

liked Bengali people. This is my mother land,

my father land, not Bengali land. By chance, we spotted

a fire close to the road, It was a Muslim village

called Goduthaya. The roof of the madrassa had

just been set alight. Islamic school books

were strewn across the path. This happened within walking

distance of a large police barracks. We've just arrived at this village,

and as you can see from these fires, In fact, we bumped into the people

who almost certainly lit them, carrying machetes, not

wanting to talk. But one did admit, yes,

they set these buildings alight The government has claimed that

all of the village destruction is at the hands of Muslim militants

and Rohingya inhabitants. What we've seen here tells us

a very different story, a story of ethnic cleansing,

of driving Muslims out We still don't know the fate

of the people who once lived here, who left

many of their possessions behind. They may be in Bangladesh,

that they are never coming home. Jonathan Head, BBC News,

northern Rakhine state. A brief look at some

Ian Paisley has denied a claim that he failed to declare ?100,000

to the Parliamentary Standards Commission,

following a newspaper report. He said the article

was "devoid of fact or logic". A father who was drunk

were mainly men from Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani

backgrounds. You can't escape the fact that they

are from particular communities. And I think that however difficult

it is, that avoidance of political correctness has to expand

into the debates It may well be that there isn't

something at the end of that debate, that there isn't an underlying

reason, that it's something Operation Sanctuary started in 2013

painkillers across England has doubled in the last 15 years,

according to a leading health group. 50,000 patients were studied

who were prescribed at least one of four types

of potentially addictive drugs. Opioid painkillers, such

as codeine and tramadol, In 2015 they were issued

to one patient in 20, The length of time people

are being prescribed opioid painkillers has also increased,

from just over two months in 2000, to a peak of over

three months in 2014. Dominic Hughes has been meeting some

of those whose lives have been shattered by their dependence

on prescription drugs. A few months before,

I was this normal guy, working full-time, with kids

and a wife, and happy. And then all of a sudden,

I'm basically a drug addict. A routine prescription drug led

James to the brink of destruction. We'll have a look

at your urine test. He's now getting help to deal

with a crippling addiction to powerful opioid painkillers,

commonly prescribed drugs James' problems started

with severe stomach aches. But the painkillers he was

prescribed quickly stopped working. Desperate for pain relief,

he was soon spending ?400 a month on additional supplies

from online pharmacies. He went from taking

eight pills a day to 50, and almost before he knew it,

his life had spiralled I thought it would be fine, I would

be on the tablets short-term. But then before I knew it,

I couldn't get off them. For James, the side-effects

were terrible. Headaches, nausea, constipation,

and then a series of seizures It can ruin your life

without you knowing, because I do believe that probably

within a year if I had carried on taking the same amounts,

or increasing, it probably Research in just a handful of GP

practices in James' town identified more than 100 people

dependent on painkillers. But responsibility for helping them

falls between the NHS and local councils, and schemes like the one

that James is on are rare. The key seems to be a better

understanding of the nature of pain. That's what they are trying

in Gloucestershire. Talking to doctors and pharmacists

about pain management, as well as identifying and helping

patients who are struggling. Most people with persistent pain

will describe it as severe. No one should stop their medication

before seeking the advice of their GP, but one

of the country's leading pain experts says it is clear that

patients using opioid drugs for a long time are often getting

little benefit but suffer I'm not suggesting that somebody

who is benefiting should have their drugs removed,

but out of a population who are taking these drugs,

the majority will not be benefiting, and those patients should

be supported to come Playing Jenga here

devastating it can be when the use of opioid painkillers

dramatically. Stephen took the call

from a paramedic. I had never felt like

that ever in my life. It was literally the worst

from a brain aneurysm has helped a record eight people,

including five children, Jemima Layzell, from

Somerset, died in 2012. Her parents said she was clever,

compassionate and creative, and would have been "very proud

of her legacy". It was just before her mum's

birthday party five years ago that She had an aneurysm that had

never been diagnosed, and doctors told her parents

nothing could be done. We'd seen the scans and there

was such a huge shadow on the left side of the brain

that she could never, ever recover. By chance, Jemima had spoken

to her parents about organ donation just a few days

before she collapsed. When she died, they felt they had

to follow the schoolgirl's wishes. She did specifically

say that she wanted How did that help you make

the decision, when you knew It made that decision

so much easier. It's like an automatic thing, "Yes,

absolutely, because that's Five years on, Jemima's family have

now been told that her organs, including her heart,

lungs and kidneys, have helped more What kind of comfort does it give

you to know that there are eight people out there whose lives have

either been saved And it is exciting to know that life

is continuing because of her. Freddie is one of

those Jemima saved. He'd been given just

weeks to live before he received her liver

in a transplant. This week, he started

secondary school. Thank you, but that just

doesn't seem enough. You're grateful that they actually

stuck to Jemima's wishes and let her donate her organs,

which allowed our child to live. But obviously for our child to live,

their child had to die. This month the two families

will meet for the first time at a charity ball organised

in Jemima's memory. Her parents know that not everyone

would make the decision they did, but with more than 6000 people

waiting for transplants, they are now campaigning for more

of us to register as donors. Now on BBC One, time
