Early morning in mobile alabama brought a battering from hurricane sally. Trees uprooted or splinted by the howling wind city streets piled with daybreak only a few braving the elements to survey the damage and stop what could be a long cleanup. Making landfall as a category 2 storm its not sally size thats the main concern but its speed moving so slowly its threatening days of rain with forecasters talking of life threatening flooding still to come jordan muse fled her mobile home in pensacola florida to shelter in a hotel. Is underwater. Relief. As the storm moved in the wind packed a punch leaving hundreds of thousands of people without power the driving rain swamped streets and surges of seawater caused flash floods dozens of people had to be rescued from their homes. For. Sally is the 2nd hurricane to hit the gulf coast in less than 3 weeks and one of the busiest Hurricane Seasons ever earlier this week sally was just one of 5 storms chanting in the atlantic ready hurricane tait is developing out at sea with forecasters predicting it could become a catastrophic catch agree for storm and 0. 0 can join us live from miami in florida and andy give us an update what is happening right now. Well the storm has now been downgraded to a Tropical Storm thats normally what happens when these storms make landfall it hit in the early hours of wednesday morning as a category 2 in the grand scheme of things not a very strong storm for the gulf coast residents down there are certainly used to worse but as was said in that report its not the size and strength its the speed of this storm thats causing most concern its moving painfully slowly through the state of florida up into the carolinas and about half a 1000000 people mostly in florida have lost power places like pensacola in the Florida Panhandle suffered some severe flooding as has mobile in alabama where the storm actually made landfall but its also affecting places like louisiana or mississippi remember mississippi is still recovering from hurricane laura that hit about 3 weeks ago as one of the most powerful storms on record all of this happening of course as President Donald Trump continues to downplay any talk of Climate Change or even acknowledge it in fact just yesterday i think it was he said that the climate will get colder scientists across the world of course disagree you know 90 of course there are several other storms currently in the atlantic what sort of a threat they likely to pose to think. Well its too soon to say really we dont know whats going to happen with many of these storms until they get closer but just remember laura picked up a tremendous amount of speed in the last few hours before it slammed into louisiana and Scientists Say a lot of that has to do with Climate Change but the other thing that really brings this home is the fact that here at the National Hurricane center in miami they have names for storms every year and they are running out of letters the next named storm will be wilfrid one be named and thats likely to happen in the next few hours or days then they will have to move on to the greek alphabet that has only ever happened on one other occasion which gives you a sense of just how busy this Hurricane Season is but the last 2 or 3 Hurricane Seasons ive covered certainly ive seen these storms are getting stronger getting slower and getting wetter potentially deadly combination for everyone in their path and in miami thank you and while the east coast of the u. S. Is being battered by Hurricane Sandy the west coasts massive wildfires 5 federal search and rescue teams have now be deployed to the state of oregon as part of a 1200000. 00 relief effort from the government about 18000 square kilometers of woodland in the states of washington california and oregon have been destroyed by fire with several small towns burned to the ground and at least 34. 00 confirmed deaths. Well reynolds joins us live now from portland in oregon central that wildfire imagine. These fires well theyve been going up days now how are the authorities that coping with it. Well theres some cautious optimism here in oregon felicity the firefighters have been battling these blazes that more than a week now are beginning to get a better degree of containment around them and one of the worst fires the socalled alveda fire that burned through Southern Oregon and destroyed several small towns completely is now 100 percent contained a lot of this improvement is due to Better Weather conditions its not as hot its more humid and thats actually caused in part by this shroud of toxic smoke that you can easily see behind me covering the the skyline of Portland Oregon that prevents the suns rays from eating up the fuel on the forest floor and and accelerating the possibility of wildfires nevertheless there are all across the west coast there have been thousands of homes burned and ends of thousands of people. Evacuated there are many here in oregon who are sleeping in their cars sleeping with friends or in cell towers or motels theyre in 8 deaths here in the state of oregon and in california things are even worse the weather is not changed its still tinder dry and still ripe conditions for wildfires and there are several fires burning in the state of california. At the moment with with nearly exhausted firefighters trying to do their best to keep them under control yeah and robust snaky were talking about earlier its quite extraordinary its made its way to the other side of the country its actually even being detected across the atlantic how people dealing with that i mean yourself a struggling a little bit. Well its a little bit i mean frankly i havent seen anything like this ever the closest i think i would i would compare it to is covering the. Oil well fires in kuwait at the end of the 1st gulf war in 1991 the sky was black and the same degree its actually a sunny day today you can see the sun trying to burn its way through this smoke so this isnt cloud this isnt fog this is smoke there have been. There has been a 10 percent increase in the number of people admitted to Emergency Rooms in oregon complaining of breathing problems and obviously the smoke is a major issue for people with asthma or with other lung conditions or who may have had 19 its very difficult to completely stay away from these tiny micro particles of smoke and ash that can burrow their way deep into the long even get into the bloodstream and its not just smoke from burning trees and brush which is toxic enough its also spoke from burning cars tires houses plastics all sorts of toxins in the air here and while there are snow some parts of the state of oregon especially along the coast where the air is clearing out a little that portland is still the most polluted place with the worst air quality on the face of the earth and listen a pretty awful situation. From portland in oregon thank you. A better response test leader who disappeared after being detained by masked men has been charged with undermining National Security maria colace nick over is in jail in minsk after ripping up her passport to avoid being sent to ukraine by force for her arrest she played a major role in organizing demonstrations against the longtime leader Alexander Lukashenko hes accused of rigging last months president ial election al jazeera step vasant in the capital minsk for us she says almost all the Opposition Leaders have either been locked up or forced to flee. These charges are actually quite broad to call for action aimed at undermining National Security instead of what the police earlier sat was a coup detat which was of course much harder to prove but still she is facing 2 to 5 years in prison she was indeed the last female Opposition Leader still in the country and because she ripped up her passport avoiding being deported to ukraine she has turned tear into a National Leader the Opposition Movement is not really relying on its leaders to be honest so it wont affect the protests that we have been seeing in the last couple of weeks in fact only one of the opposition members of the council that was a created to have this Transitional Government by the opposition is now still free and here in a ballerinas and she is in fact being protected by european diplomats 24 sevenths so they come to her house to make sure that shes also not being arrested.

It will remain in poland until.
