:04:10. > :04:17.Viewed from space, Irma looks almost serene but at 400 miles wide,

:04:58. > :05:14.The island of St Martin is one of the worst affected areas. Dutch
:05:15. > :05:19.troops are on the streets to try to maintain
:05:20. > :05:20.order:. The Red Cross says 1.2 million
:05:21. > :05:23.people have already been affected and that that figure could rise
:05:24. > :05:26.to 29 million by the end of the weekend when the storm's
:05:27. > :05:28.due to hit Florida. There, 7,000 National Guard have
:05:29. > :05:31.been brought in to help, with the National Weather Service
:05:32. > :05:33.warning large parts of the state could be left uninhabitable
:05:34. > :05:44.for weeks or even months. With a storm surge of up to three
:05:45. > :05:49.metres expected, half a million people have taken to the roads after
:05:50. > :05:54.being ordered to leave their homes. Two days after Hurricane Irma first
:05:55. > :05:57.hit land, the worst could still be to come. And another storm, Jose, is
:05:58. > :06:01.sweeping in from the Atlantic. The fringes of the storm have
:06:02. > :06:14.already begun to hit Cuba. The sense seems to be it will get
:06:15. > :06:21.worse where you are later in the day. That's right, Jane. It's been
:06:22. > :06:26.another anxious 24 hours for Cubans, they've had to watch this storm
:06:27. > :06:30.gradually get closer and see the destruction that it's wrought across
:06:31. > :06:34.the Caribbean in its path towards them, it's been an unsettling time
:06:35. > :06:37.here on the island. We have seen the authorities here evacuate large
:06:38. > :06:40.parts of the east of the island and the northern coastline, that's
:06:41. > :06:45.obviously where a lot of tourists are based too, because of course
:06:46. > :06:49.people are heading to the low-lying coastal zones, that's where resorts
:06:50. > :06:53.are and so on. There has been an effort to bring them here to other
:06:54. > :06:58.bigger cities. At this stage it's beginning to turn into a crossing
:06:59. > :07:01.your fingers and praying situation. People are getting together with
:07:02. > :07:05.families, schools have obviously been cancelled for the day. We have
:07:06. > :07:11.just heard as well that flights out of Cuba have been cancelled with the
:07:12. > :07:17.state-run aviation companies. A precarious situation here in Cuba
:07:18. > :07:21.and people waiting and watching. Thank you very much. Let's hear more
:07:22. > :07:25.about the situation in the Bahamas. Our correspondent Nick Bryant
:07:26. > :07:33.reports from the Bahamas Overnight this monster storm hit the
:07:34. > :07:39.Turks and Caicos and now it is starting to hit the Bahamas as well.
:07:40. > :07:44.No longer category five, category four but it still packs winds of
:07:45. > :07:51.over 150mph and brings the storm surges 20 feet high. Five low-lying
:07:52. > :07:55.Islands here are particularly under threat which is why they've mounted
:07:56. > :08:00.the biggest evacuation operation in its history, hundreds brought here
:08:01. > :08:04.to the capital Nassau. It seems especially cruel that they are being
:08:05. > :08:05.hit again, less than 12 months ago they were pulled by hurricane
:08:06. > :08:09.Matthew. The Prime Minister will chair
:08:10. > :08:10.an emergency Cobra meeting this afternoon to discuss the response
:08:11. > :08:22.to Hurricane Irma. The Royal Navy delivered aid and
:08:23. > :08:29.three flights took off this morning taking marines and engineers.
:08:30. > :08:31.Another will leave RAF Brize Norton later
:08:32. > :08:34.It comes amid criticism that the UK hasn't responded
:08:35. > :08:37.Duncan Kennedy reports from RAF Brize Norton.
:08:38. > :08:43.The loading operation at Brize Norton included tents, water and
:08:44. > :08:48.medical supplies. 30 loads at first, with more to come. Everything from
:08:49. > :08:52.ready made meals to an industrial fridge unit. Around 70 Royal Marines
:08:53. > :08:58.are also on board with a range of skills and experience of working in
:08:59. > :09:02.disaster areas. The base commander rejects claims Britain has been slow
:09:03. > :09:06.to respond. It's very important that we understand the effects of the
:09:07. > :09:10.hurricane, where is open to us, where we can get to safely and
:09:11. > :09:13.that's what we have been doing the past 24 hours. Now we are ready to
:09:14. > :09:18.make the right judgments about where they can deliver that aid and we
:09:19. > :09:24.will do that as quickly as possible. The French have already established
:09:25. > :09:30.a base and its operation seems more advanced. British Naval helicopters
:09:31. > :09:33.have been in Anguilla working off a Navy auxiliary vessel but it's the
:09:34. > :09:40.speed of Britain's input that's been criticised today. What we definitely
:09:41. > :09:45.need to see is a sustainable, if not continued and permanent commitment
:09:46. > :09:49.to support the development of Anguilla, at present, we have had
:09:50. > :09:53.precious little support of significant quantities and we need
:09:54. > :09:57.that now. Britain says it has responded as rapidly as possible.
:09:58. > :10:03.And is now offering more than ?30 million of help. The fact is we had
:10:04. > :10:06.a Royal Naval vessel in the region because we knew the hurricane was
:10:07. > :10:10.coming. This is hurricane season. In fact, we are always prepared. This
:10:11. > :10:14.is one of a number of RAF jets heading to the region. In all there
:10:15. > :10:18.will be something like 300 Royal Marines on the ground over the space
:10:19. > :10:22.of the next two or three days. Even when they arrive there, no one is
:10:23. > :10:25.fully clear yet what their operational role is going to be and
:10:26. > :10:31.where they can get to. The race to get help to the people
:10:32. > :10:32.of the Caribbean now involves operations from more than a dozen
:10:33. > :10:37.countries. The Government is also sending
:10:38. > :10:40.longer term relief aid to the Caribbean from the UK Aid
:10:41. > :10:43.disaster relief stockpile in Kemble in Gloucestershire
:10:44. > :10:55.and Phil Mackie is there for us. What's happening there, Phil? It's
:10:56. > :11:00.been very busy here, Jane. This vast hangar is filled with aid material,
:11:01. > :11:02.you can see pallets ready to be loaded. I think that's the third
:11:03. > :11:07.lorry load we have seen this morning. All kinds of stuff here,
:11:08. > :11:11.from vehicles, even a mobile field hospital. This is what's going out
:11:12. > :11:16.to the Caribbean. These pallets contain this sort of equipment, for
:11:17. > :11:21.instance, portable lanterns that can be charged using this, it uses solar
:11:22. > :11:25.power. But, you can use that to charge up your phone and probably
:11:26. > :11:29.most importantly of all, this little water container. You power in the
:11:30. > :11:37.water and it comes out clean, filtered and drinkable at the end.
:11:38. > :11:40.This is run by Difod, you heard the Secretary of State talking in that
:11:41. > :11:43.report about the effort going on, they've obviously been criticised.
:11:44. > :11:48.They're saying originally this was going to go out to Gibraltar to be
:11:49. > :11:51.loaded on to HMS Ocean which might mean it didn't reach the Caribbean
:11:52. > :11:55.for at least a week or so. Now they've charter flights. Three lorry
:11:56. > :12:02.loads will be getting to the Caribbean in the next couple of
:12:03. > :12:06.days. They've said shelter kits have already arrived on Anguilla and are
:12:07. > :12:09.about to be delivered to the British Virgin Islands and it's doubled its
:12:10. > :12:13.presence and they've promised it's not short-term relief t will be
:12:14. > :12:16.long-term relief planned for the British territories which have
:12:17. > :12:20.suffered because of Hurricane Irma. Thank you.
:12:21. > :12:23.The storm has already had a deadly impact across the Caribbean.
:12:24. > :12:25.Matt Taylor from the BBC weather centre is here to talk us
:12:26. > :12:31.through what the next few days have in store.
:12:32. > :12:41.Yes, certainly not done yet. As you heard, the recent areas to feel the
:12:42. > :12:46.wrath of Hurricane Irma have been low-lying areas of Turks and Caicos
:12:47. > :12:49.and the southern Bahamas. These are low-lying areas, nothing to stop the
:12:50. > :12:55.path of that raging storm as it goes across. Nothing to hinder its
:12:56. > :13:01.progress. It has weakened a little to category four but still winds of
:13:02. > :13:05.over 150mph. And they could still strengthen over the days. It's
:13:06. > :13:08.continued to push west wards, it may clip the northern portion of Cuba.
:13:09. > :13:14.The crucial thing could be where the eye of that storm is. The strongest
:13:15. > :13:18.of the winds. If it remains over open waters it will maintain
:13:19. > :13:23.strength. The water is key to keeping the ingredients there for
:13:24. > :13:29.that storm to maintain its strength. We need temperatures over 27 degrees
:13:30. > :13:34.for hurricanes to last. All the yellow colours where we have that,
:13:35. > :13:37.notice in around Cuba and also Florida, the orange colours,
:13:38. > :13:40.temperatures are above 30 at the moment. As it moves over that there
:13:41. > :13:45.could be potentially further strengthening. Into the weekend it's
:13:46. > :13:50.for the storm to take a sudden northern track, pushing in somewhere
:13:51. > :13:54.between Key West and Miami and piling across the entire length of
:13:55. > :13:59.Florida, perhaps dropping up to 350 millimetres of rain. The residents
:14:00. > :14:03.of Florida are rightly concerned, the last category five storm to hit
:14:04. > :14:08.was a devastating one. The strongest and most devastating storm in
:14:09. > :14:13.Florida's history, hurricane Andrew, the warnings may have improved,
:14:14. > :14:19.building methods may have improved but people fear devastation could be
:14:20. > :14:26.on power - on par with that. Katia could push into Mexico through this
:14:27. > :14:30.weekend and also the devastated island of Barbuda could get that as
:14:31. > :14:35.well. Miami, all eyes are there in the Caribbean. Thank you very much.
:14:36. > :14:38.To Miami now. As we've been hearing,
:14:39. > :14:40.Florida is bracing itself for the storm's impact over
:14:41. > :14:43.the weekend and more than half a million people have been ordered
:14:44. > :14:50.to leave their homes in the state The head of the federal emergency
:14:51. > :14:52.agency there has said the storm will devastate the United States.
:14:53. > :14:59.CBS correspondent Meg Oliver is in Miami.
:15:00. > :15:07.What's happening there, Meg? Jane, the director of Fema also said he
:15:08. > :15:10.can guarantee that nobody in Florida has ever experienced anything like
:15:11. > :15:15.Irma. As you can imagine, ominous words. People are doing their best
:15:16. > :15:17.to prepare, this gas station is boarded up, it's still open and they
:15:18. > :15:21.have some supplies but they have run out of gas along with the other gas
:15:22. > :15:25.station across the street and several other stations throughout
:15:26. > :15:31.the area. Meantime, people lucky enough to fill up with gas after
:15:32. > :15:36.waiting in long lines yesterday are now trying to outrun this terrifying
:15:37. > :15:39.storm. Miami's mayor called it a nuclear hurricane. Today, is the
:15:40. > :15:44.final day, preparations need to be made and people need to evacuate if
:15:45. > :15:47.they have been ordered to do so. They're also asking if you have
:15:48. > :15:52.family or friends in Florida and you can go there to be safe, that's a
:15:53. > :15:55.better option. They really are discouraging people from getting on
:15:56. > :16:00.the highways any later than right now. We know that shelters have
:16:01. > :16:04.started to open up and people are flooding those shelters. They're
:16:05. > :16:08.asking them to bring three days' worth of food and water. This is
:16:09. > :16:11.going to be a catastrophic, epic storm. We have no idea what the
:16:12. > :16:14.aftermath is going to look like. They are going to need supplies.
:16:15. > :16:28.Thank you very much. You can keep up-to-date with all the
:16:29. > :16:31.elements surrounding Hurricane Irma. There is lots of background,
:16:32. > :16:37.information and maps on the BBC website.
:16:38. > :16:40.Now we'll take a look at the rest of the main stories this lunchtime.
:16:41. > :16:44.A review of the criminal justice system in England and Wales has
:16:45. > :16:45.found bias and discrimination in its treatment of people
:16:46. > :16:47.from black and minoirty ethnic backgrounds.
:16:48. > :16:49.The inquiry, commissioned by the government and led
:16:50. > :16:51.by the Labour MP David Lammy, raises particular concerns
:16:52. > :16:55.The report calls for some prosecutions to be dropped,
:16:56. > :16:58.if suspects complete a drug or alcohol rehabilitation programme.

:17:32. > :17:37.And if you look at the sort of sentences that we

:18:31. > :18:33.still prisons where it is clear that there is an overt discrimination
:18:34. > :18:38.going on, and some of the treatment is just unacceptable.
:18:39. > :18:41.The Government says it will look very carefully at
:18:42. > :18:52.What struck me about the report too was the reality
:18:53. > :18:55.that very large numbers of British people from our black and

:28:26. > :28:29.months, perhaps the ultimate feat of endurance. Wearing the leader's red

:28:35. > :28:40.with a lead of one minute, supported by a phalanx of Team Sky riders
:28:41. > :28:43.coming he set about extending it. He had struggled earlier in the week,
:28:44. > :28:49.but this time he found another gear, powering across the line with his
:28:50. > :28:53.nearest rival trailing behind him. It means Froome now has a commanding
:28:54. > :28:58.lead, and he says the help of his team-mates has been crucial. They
:28:59. > :29:01.have been amazing the last three weeks, and they have always been
:29:02. > :29:05.there for me when I have a tough days, and on better days like today,
:29:06. > :29:11.they were there to increase the pace. Nice to increase my lead by 21
:29:12. > :29:16.seconds. That quite significant and I might need every second I can get.
:29:17. > :29:20.If Froome can hold on, he will join a highly select group. Only two men
:29:21. > :29:29.have ever won the tours of France and Spain in one year. For Froome,

:29:53. > :30:03.There is a reason why cricket isn't played in the autumn. This Test
:30:04. > :30:09.match is stretching the season. But the play we see is fascinating -
:30:10. > :30:20.England batting, trying to seize any moments they had vital time for the
:30:21. > :30:25.aspiring Dawid Malan. Yes, I can do this. At the crease here, maybe the
:30:26. > :30:29.world's best all-round cricketer. Ben Stokes batting. And perhaps it
:30:30. > :30:38.was his growing stature that drew the Prime Minister to laws. Stay
:30:39. > :30:45.prepared for anything. Suddenly, Malan's innings was over. England
:30:46. > :30:49.were five wickets down, and the drizzle turned heavy. Even if the
:30:50. > :30:54.West Indies captain would try to ignore it, where I YouGov in?
:30:55. > :31:00.England's batsmen sought the chance to leave before any more damage was
:31:01. > :31:07.done. Remember, West Indies only scored 423 in their first innings,
:31:08. > :31:11.but with England 50 runs behind, every run will be crucial when the
:31:12. > :31:15.rain relents. Joe Wilson, BBC News, at Lord's.
:31:16. > :31:21.Let's find out about that. Matt has rejoined me.
:31:22. > :31:29.Low pressure is nearby, so expect to see more scenes like this. There are
:31:30. > :31:32.some gaps between the clouds. The cloud across the South is bringing
:31:33. > :31:37.longer spells of rain this afternoon. Heavy rain, too. North
:31:38. > :31:43.and west of that, some sunshine between the showers. Always a bit
:31:44. > :31:46.more cloud in Northern Ireland and southern Scotland. Temperature wise,
:31:47. > :31:51.disappointing for an early September. Barely getting into the
:31:52. > :31:55.high teens. The rain in the south-east corner cleared away
:31:56. > :32:00.tonight. Showers continue in western areas tonight, with the breeze.
:32:01. > :32:06.Central parts drier, but also cooler, temperatures down into
:32:07. > :32:14.single figures. You might get to see scenes like this across the northern
:32:15. > :32:19.half of the UK. Into the weekend, it starts on a cool note. Showers and
:32:20. > :32:22.rain at times, and it will turn increasingly windy as well. A
:32:23. > :32:29.weekend to choose your plans carefully. Saturday will bring a
:32:30. > :32:37.story of sunshine and showers. The showers are most prevalent across
:32:38. > :32:42.parts of England and Wales. Slow-moving showers in northern
:32:43. > :32:46.England and parts of the Midland, so lengthy downpours for people there.
:32:47. > :32:53.Scotland and Northern Ireland, a slightly better day tomorrow than
:32:54. > :32:56.today. A brief ridge of high pressure to get us through Saturday
:32:57. > :33:03.night into a chilly start on Sunday. More weather fronts gathering.
:33:04. > :33:08.Outbreaks of rain will spread from west to east. Feeling cool once
:33:09. > :33:12.again. By the end of the day, we could see gales across the West as
:33:13. > :33:21.we finish Sunday, potentially severe gales to start the week on Monday.
:33:22. > :33:24.That's all from the BBC News at One, so it's goodbye from me.
