:00:00. > :00:11.Our top story, the scale of devastation left
:00:12. > :00:13.by Hurricane Matthew becomes clearer as it continues on its
:00:14. > :00:20.The hurricane has left of horrible trail of death and destruction
:00:21. > :00:24.in Haiti where more than 800 people have been killed and
:00:25. > :00:30.More recently it's been battering Florida, these are live pictures,
:00:31. > :00:33.huge waves and winds gusting nearly 200 kilometres

:00:41. > :00:41.the pound plunged 6% on Asian markets before
:00:42. > :00:54.We are going to go through a period of volatility now. There will be
:00:55. > :00:56.lots of commentary going on, and we can expect to see markets being more
:00:57. > :00:59.turbulent. And Colombian president
:01:00. > :01:01.Juan Manuel Santos wins this year's Nobel Peace prize for his efforts
:01:02. > :01:04.to end more than 50 years of war We start with the emerging
:01:05. > :01:21.picture of the full impact More than 800 people are now known
:01:22. > :01:27.to have died in southern Haiti, which took the full force
:01:28. > :01:29.of the Caribbean's most And it's feared the death toll may
:01:30. > :01:36.rise further, as rescue teams reach remote areas cut off
:01:37. > :01:41.since the hurricane. These are before and after images
:01:42. > :01:46.of the Haitian town of Jeremie, giving a sense of the scale
:01:47. > :01:48.of the devastation. Thousands of people
:01:49. > :01:50.have been displaced. The storm is now sweeping along
:01:51. > :01:54.America's south-east coast. Southern Florida hasn't been
:01:55. > :01:57.as badly hit as it feared but President Obama has warned that
:01:58. > :02:17.a storm surge is a major concern. It's been three days since Hurricane
:02:18. > :02:20.Matthew hit Haiti and violent torrents of brown water continued to
:02:21. > :02:28.devastate the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. In the city of
:02:29. > :02:33.Jeremie, 80% of homes have been lost and the UN has warned of the
:02:34. > :02:38.challenge ahead to restore clean water and sanitation. Right now most
:02:39. > :02:45.people have lost everything, their clothing, their shoes, their home.
:02:46. > :02:48.They have no shelter. Haiti is already in the grip of a cholera
:02:49. > :02:58.epidemic. In this environment the disease could spread. 350,000 people
:02:59. > :03:03.are thought to need immediate help. TRANSLATION: I need medicine, my son
:03:04. > :03:10.and I are sick and we haven't gotten anything. My kids have a fever, I
:03:11. > :03:15.need some help, I need to go home. After leaving a trail of destruction
:03:16. > :03:18.across the Caribbean, the storm is stalking the Florida coastline. It's
:03:19. > :03:25.been described by state officials as a monster. 1.5 million people were
:03:26. > :03:31.told to leave coastal areas and find shelter and stay there. Most heeded
:03:32. > :03:37.the warnings. A curfew is also in place until Saturday morning in some
:03:38. > :03:40.counties. Winds of over 100 miles an hour clashed with power lines,
:03:41. > :03:45.cutting supplies to tens of thousands of homes. This is as close
:03:46. > :03:50.as Hurricane Matthew has come to Florida. The wall of the eye of the
:03:51. > :03:56.storm is now battering this coastline. The wind, the rain, it
:03:57. > :04:01.has been relentless. The real fear is of a coastal surge and waves of
:04:02. > :04:09.up to 11 feet high. I want to emphasise to everybody that this is
:04:10. > :04:14.still a really dangerous hurricane. That the potential for storm surge,
:04:15. > :04:20.flooding, loss of life and severe property damage continues to exist.
:04:21. > :04:25.The Sunshine State is used to storms, but Matthew is breathing to
:04:26. > :04:30.be unpredictable. It's also taking its time as it travels up the coast.
:04:31. > :04:36.Florida is not out of danger just yet.
:04:37. > :04:39.We'll get the latest from Florida in a moment.
:04:40. > :04:42.James Beighle is Head of Programmes in Haiti with the aid agency
:04:43. > :04:48.He joins me via webcam from Port-au-Prince.
:04:49. > :04:59.The death toll has gone up sharply in the last few hours, give us a
:05:00. > :05:03.picture of how bad it is there. I was in Jeremie yesterday, I flew in
:05:04. > :05:08.with a UN helicopter flight and can definitely confirm the devastation
:05:09. > :05:13.is massive. You can see homes completely destroyed, homes still
:05:14. > :05:19.standing don't have roofs on them. Anything of an agricultural nature
:05:20. > :05:23.is completely destroyed. There is no crops, there is nothing coming out
:05:24. > :05:29.of the farming out of the garden is any more. There's still lots of
:05:30. > :05:32.remote parts of the South West peninsular that haven't been
:05:33. > :05:36.reached. I think you're seeing those death toll is rising as more and
:05:37. > :05:41.more of those communities are able to be connected to. Do you know how
:05:42. > :05:47.many people are still cut off and how quickly anyone can get to them?
:05:48. > :05:54.We are making progress, just as of today, the road where there was a
:05:55. > :05:58.significant amount of damage to Jeremie which goes through a
:05:59. > :06:01.difficult mountain path has been opened. Only 4-wheel drive vehicles
:06:02. > :06:08.can get through but that is a good sign that trucks will be able to get
:06:09. > :06:12.through soon. I know that also from Jeremie and going around the
:06:13. > :06:15.south-west coast trying to get to those remote communities, they are
:06:16. > :06:30.making progress. I think in the next couple of days will have a better
:06:31. > :06:36.sense of casualties and... INAUDIBLE Able to start getting some supplies
:06:37. > :06:40.and help into those areas. Sorry, we lost some of your audio, there.
:06:41. > :06:46.There is collar rot already in Haiti, how much of a concern is that
:06:47. > :06:51.and how difficult is it to operate there because of the political
:06:52. > :06:57.system being so difficult? How tough is it for aid agencies to get to
:06:58. > :07:03.where the help is needed? The cholera situation is a large
:07:04. > :07:08.concern. Cholera has been a problem in Haiti. We expect the longer it
:07:09. > :07:11.takes to get clean water and appropriate hygiene to the
:07:12. > :07:16.population, the higher that risk goes. I think there is an all hands
:07:17. > :07:22.effort including the government of Haiti to access those regions, to do
:07:23. > :07:26.everything they can. Communities are taking the situation into their own
:07:27. > :07:32.hands, trying to open up the roads. It is a full mobilisation effort and
:07:33. > :07:37.a difficult situation, but I really feel everybody is doing everything
:07:38. > :07:42.they can. In Jeremie yesterday I was able to talk with some of the
:07:43. > :07:46.population. They are amazingly calm. But as the hours go by I think
:07:47. > :07:53.desperation will increase. We are doing everything we can to get help
:07:54. > :08:00.and supplies out to the people as quickly as possible. Many, many
:08:01. > :08:01.thanks. We wish everyone there all the best in getting the aid out as
:08:02. > :08:05.fast as possible. Let's get the latest from the BBC's
:08:06. > :08:16.Luis Fajardo who's in Miami. It looks rather lovely in Miami,
:08:17. > :08:23.they're behind you, but I know that the picture elsewhere nearby is
:08:24. > :08:28.rather more difficult. Absolutely. We've been very fortunate in Miami.
:08:29. > :08:30.The storm didn't cause major damage and the weather has cleared up
:08:31. > :08:38.substantially. A different picture in the north of the state, around
:08:39. > :08:45.the city of Saint Augustin and Jacksonville where it is the final
:08:46. > :08:49.movement of the hurricane along the North eastern Atlantic coast of
:08:50. > :08:58.Florida. There, there is substantial activity. There are high winds and a
:08:59. > :09:02.preoccupation with the floods that might be occurring in the area.
:09:03. > :09:07.People are saying take extreme precautions because this might be a
:09:08. > :09:13.killer hurricane. Thank you. North Carolina has also been declared to
:09:14. > :09:14.be in a state of emergency and we'll keep across all that's happening
:09:15. > :09:19.there the coming hours. Britain's finance minister
:09:20. > :09:21.Philip Hammond has said the continuing fall in the value
:09:22. > :09:23.of the pound reflects the realisation by investors
:09:24. > :09:25.that Britain will leave He said a sudden 6% drop
:09:26. > :09:31.in the value of the pound on Asian markets could be explained
:09:32. > :09:34.by an automated trading problem. But he added that there were bound
:09:35. > :09:37.to be episodes of turbulence as the markets tried to predict
:09:38. > :09:40.the likely direction He's been speaking to our Economics
:09:41. > :09:47.Editor Kamal Ahmed in Washington. As I said earlier this
:09:48. > :09:53.week, we're going to go There will be lots of commentary
:09:54. > :09:58.going on and we can expect to see markets being more turbulent over
:09:59. > :10:00.this period and we should The Government should take
:10:01. > :10:06.the necessary measures to be able to respond to it, keep the economy
:10:07. > :10:11.going during this period. Aren't markets saying
:10:12. > :10:14.they are hugely concerned about the uncertainty,
:10:15. > :10:18.the lack of transparency over how Britain will actually negotiate
:10:19. > :10:22.its exit from the European Union? Well, there is uncertainty,
:10:23. > :10:27.of course, there is uncertainty But the important thing is to look
:10:28. > :10:35.through the movements of currency markets, the short-term
:10:36. > :10:36.movements of sentiment, but the fundamentals
:10:37. > :10:38.of the British economy. The fastest growing economy
:10:39. > :10:40.in the G7 this year, record high employment rates
:10:41. > :10:42.and very high levels of growth We go into this period of turbulence
:10:43. > :10:46.fundamentally strong and that should There has been a lot of talk
:10:47. > :10:52.about your approach to spending, some people have said that you're
:10:53. > :10:55.looking to spend a huge amount more on infrastructure and
:10:56. > :10:58.borrow more to do that. Can we expect a spending splurge
:10:59. > :11:02.ahead? What we have said we're going to do
:11:03. > :11:07.is create within a new fiscal framework enough space
:11:08. > :11:10.for the Government to be able to respond to the turbulence
:11:11. > :11:13.in the economy that I've As we go through this period,
:11:14. > :11:20.we want to be able to provide fiscal At the moment, I can't predict
:11:21. > :11:24.whether that will be necessary at the time

:11:35. > :11:36.says Russia's actions in support of the Syrian government
:11:37. > :11:42.demand a war crimes investigation. Mr Kerry accused Moscow
:11:43. > :11:44.and the government in Damascus of having a targeted strategy
:11:45. > :12:02.to terrorise civilians Russia and the regime owe the world
:12:03. > :12:05.more than an explanation about why they keep hitting hospitals and
:12:06. > :12:14.medical facilities and children and women. These are acts that beg for
:12:15. > :12:20.an appropriate investigation of war crimes. And those who commit these
:12:21. > :12:28.would and should be held accountable. For these actions. They
:12:29. > :12:33.are beyond the accidental, now, way beyond, years beyond the accidental.
:12:34. > :12:38.This is a targeted strategy to terrorise civilians.

:12:58. > :13:00.This year's Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to Juan Manuel Santos
:13:01. > :13:02.for his efforts to end Colombia's long civil war.
:13:03. > :13:05.The chair of the Norwegian committee said Mr Santos had initiated
:13:06. > :13:07.negotiations that resulted in a peace accord with Farc
:13:08. > :13:11.guerillas aimed at bringing more than 50 years of conflict to an end.
:13:12. > :13:18.Our Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet reports.
:13:19. > :13:27.It had been one of the world's longest, most brutal wars. A 50 year
:13:28. > :13:35.war, a byword for kidnappings, disappearances, murder. The peace
:13:36. > :13:41.deal signed last week by President Juan Manuel Santos with his oldest
:13:42. > :13:47.enemy the Farc was an historic, emotional moment. World leaders came
:13:48. > :13:52.to salute it. Then, days later, Colombians rejected it narrowly in a
:13:53. > :13:57.nationwide vote. A shocking setback after years of negotiations and
:13:58. > :14:00.secret talks. But today for President Santos, a vote of
:14:01. > :14:07.confidence. The world's most prestigious prize for a peacemaker.
:14:08. > :14:11.TRANSLATION: I welcome it, not in my name but in the name of all
:14:12. > :14:15.Colombians and especially the millions of victims this conflict
:14:16. > :14:20.has left over 52 years. Colombians, this prize is for all of you, for
:14:21. > :14:23.the victims, so there may not be one more victim. When I met the
:14:24. > :14:28.president last week he admitted winning a real peace would be as
:14:29. > :14:33.hard as waging war. The signature of the deal is simply the end of the
:14:34. > :14:39.conflict. Then, the hard work starts. Reconstructing our country,
:14:40. > :14:44.a country at war for 50 years is a country that has destroyed many of
:14:45. > :14:50.its values, many of its principles, many of its social networks. We have
:14:51. > :14:58.to reconstruct all of this. Even the peace prize divides people who've
:14:59. > :15:01.lived through a of war. Paolo, an engineer, says it's excellent that
:15:02. > :15:06.President Santos won the peace prize. It will help the peace
:15:07. > :15:13.process, he says. But for Manuel, it's a farce. The critics demand
:15:14. > :15:19.tougher punishment for the Farc, supporters say the President Santos
:15:20. > :15:24.got the best deal he could. 50 years of war means decades of distrust.
:15:25. > :15:27.The peace prize has gone to a nation which still isn't at peace.

:16:04. > :16:08.travails. There has been an attempt to reach up to some of Jeremy
:16:09. > :16:15.Corbyn's critics. Kia Starmer who said Jeremy Corbyn lacked vision,
:16:16. > :16:19.he'd been announced as shadowing the Brexit role. You mention Tom Watson
:16:20. > :16:24.who has clashed many times with Jeremy Corbyn. He has taken on the
:16:25. > :16:30.additional role of shadow and culture. He has clashed rather
:16:31. > :16:36.robustly with the Murdoch press so we'll see how he gets on there. Also
:16:37. > :16:41.returning is John Healey. His job now is shadow is a graduate state

:17:48. > :18:48.Killer clowns, no link to Ollie Foster in the sport! I can't quite
:18:49. > :18:52.get over that! Let's talk about some sport. Nothing horrific about this
:18:53. > :18:57.at all. Tiger Woods is set to compete again next week after more

:19:28. > :19:33.Suzuka. This weekend 's Japanese Grand Prix is a crucial race in
:19:34. > :19:37.Lewis Hamilton's bid to become world champion in 2016. First and foremost
:19:38. > :19:45.he must have reliability, something that eluded him in last weekend 's
:19:46. > :19:50.Malaysian Grand Prix. He must also try and outsmart Nico Rosberg who
:19:51. > :19:54.holds a 23 point advantage in the World Championship standings. On the
:19:55. > :19:59.evidence of today's opening practice sessions in Suzuka in Japan,
:20:00. > :20:04.Hamilton has reliability but he doesn't yet have the pace of Nico

:20:09. > :20:12.Only the best drivers in the world when, Hamilton thinks he's better
:20:13. > :20:16.than Nico Rosberg so his pride will have been dented by his pace today.

:21:19. > :21:24.It's something which we don't need and we need that to go away. Because
