:04:55. > :04:59.the hospital were hit. This is an ongoing destruction of the health
:05:00. > :05:02.care system inside Aleppo. We all agree at this time that the aim is
:05:03. > :05:08.to paralyse the health care structure and to achieve two goals,
:05:09. > :05:14.the first is to threaten, pushed civil society to collapse and
:05:15. > :05:18.displaced people out of the city of Aleppo. The second target is to
:05:19. > :05:23.punish the civilians by abandoning any access to health care at this
:05:24. > :05:28.time. Do you believe these are targeted attacks because as you say,
:05:29. > :05:33.this is the third attack on this hospital, and other was attacked
:05:34. > :05:37.early in the week as well? I think those are deliberate attacks on
:05:38. > :05:41.those hospitals. And fortunately, as you are well aware, this ongoing
:05:42. > :05:49.debate right now about who we know that they are hospitals? Were they
:05:50. > :05:52.there before 2011? Whom are they serving? Let me start by describing
:05:53. > :05:58.the landscape of what those hospitals do. On a regular day, we
:05:59. > :06:03.see more children and women more than we see former cases, and those
:06:04. > :06:08.two major hospitals that were attacked and destroyed last week.
:06:09. > :06:12.Those services right now are completely paralysed because we
:06:13. > :06:15.don't have any capacity to provide the children and women already in
:06:16. > :06:23.basis, including pregnancies and deliveries and so on. The second
:06:24. > :06:28.fact is those hospitals were registered before the year 2011.
:06:29. > :06:41.They are known medical facilities. Let's get some other
:06:42. > :06:42.stories for you. In Egypt - gunmen have killed

:06:46. > :06:47.said attackers sprayed their police car with bullets -
:06:48. > :06:50.as they drove through The killings came just days

:07:44. > :07:46.is in Kingston. He says people there are getting
:07:47. > :07:58.ready for the worst. Lots of people are going out, making
:07:59. > :08:02.sure they've got cooking gas, petrol for their vehicles, making sure they
:08:03. > :08:05.have everything they need because they know it will take a certain
:08:06. > :08:11.amount of time for the government to be able to ramp up and be able to
:08:12. > :08:15.help everybody who needs it everybody is really now aware of how
:08:16. > :08:20.serious this storm is and what devastation it could cause. Remember
:08:21. > :08:26.Ivan in 1988 was a category three, and it took years and years to get
:08:27. > :08:31.the country recovered from that. The countries in a better position now
:08:32. > :08:36.but even so, people that memory. People are saying, if this is a
:08:37. > :08:39.category four, we could be in for some very rough days.
:08:40. > :08:41.With me now is BBC weather presenter, Jay Wynne.
:08:42. > :08:51.We were hearing about the impact on people in Jamaica but where is this
:08:52. > :08:56.storm headed? It's been moving west on the south coast of America -- on
:08:57. > :09:01.the coast of South America. It is heading towards the Jamaica Channel,
:09:02. > :09:06.an area of water between Jamaica and Haiti. It looks like it will go
:09:07. > :09:09.through the Jamaica Channel, then northwards into southern Cuba, and
:09:10. > :09:16.then northwards into the Bahamas. You can see it on the satellite
:09:17. > :09:20.sequence. It is going to start turning northwards. It is a very
:09:21. > :09:25.powerful storm, category four, top end of what you can achieve.
:09:26. > :09:29.Category four or five, only a few miles of difference in the wind
:09:30. > :09:35.speed. It was the fourth class track, heading towards Jamaica,
:09:36. > :09:42.Haiti, there will be numerous multiple hazards associated with
:09:43. > :09:52.this. Gusts of wind, huge rainfall, up to two feet of wine over a very
:09:53. > :09:57.large area. -- two feet of rain. Dangerous seas with the huge storm
:09:58. > :10:05.surge. People are already taking action to get out of the worst of
:10:06. > :10:12.the conditions. This storm has grown quickly, hazards court forecasters
:10:13. > :10:15.aware? A little bit, it was a category two yesterday and this
:10:16. > :10:20.afternoon it had gone back to a category five, and now just below
:10:21. > :10:23.five. It did almost develop exclusively overnight so it was a
:10:24. > :10:28.little bit unexpected but it was always going to turn into a major
:10:29. > :10:32.storm, but I didn't think it would be a category five. What is the
:10:33. > :10:41.difference between a category five and a category for? Category five,
:10:42. > :10:44.100 60 mph, even if category four is 155 mph, there is not much
:10:45. > :10:48.difference. Pope Francis, who's on a visit
:10:49. > :10:51.to Georgia, has celebrated mass in a largely empty sports stadium
:10:52. > :10:53.after the local Orthodox Christian church advised its followers not
:10:54. > :10:56.to take part in Roman Catholic The vast majority of population
:10:57. > :10:59.in Georgia are Orthodox Christians, and some Orthodox priests have been
:11:00. > :11:02.protesting against the Papal visit. Earlier, the BBC's Rayhan Demytrie
:11:03. > :11:19.sent this report from Outside the football stadium where
:11:20. > :11:23.Pope Francis is delivering an open mass, there is a heavy police

:11:35. > :11:39.back to the 11th century split between the Orthodox and Catholic
:11:40. > :11:43.churches. But to put it simply, what they are unhappy about in particular
:11:44. > :11:56.today, they consider that the Pope here is to convert Orthodox into
:11:57. > :12:00.cost policies. -- into Catholicism. Inside the stadium, the Pope has
:12:01. > :12:06.spoken about peace and love. He delivered this open-air Mass for
:12:07. > :12:11.Georgia's small Catholic community. The vast population here are
:12:12. > :12:17.Orthodox Christians but there are also religious minorities. It is
:12:18. > :12:24.important that the Pope sees this in a small country. There is not such a
:12:25. > :12:29.big Paris. I think it is a blessing for Georgia as well to have the Pope
:12:30. > :12:33.here for the second time in 16 years. It is exciting and this mass
:12:34. > :12:34.was wonderful and now we are going to take holy Communion from the
