Residents have been evacuated by road and by air. Kim jongun gets quite a welcome as the world Party Congress gets underway. We are inside korea with some of the moves they want the world to see. And he has been taking us to the places forle this decades. We take a look and at his incredible encounters. Welcome to our viewers on Public Television in america and around the globe. In canada tens of thousands of people have been forced to flee raging wildfires in the providence in alberta. Many are being evacuated again. The flames burning out of control. Police and military vehicles were escorting a convoy to safety but had to be suspended when the flames reached 200 feet high. James cook reports. James it is midafternoon on a bright, sunny tuesday. But darkness has dissented on Fort Mcmurray and 80,000 people are fleeing for their lives. Behind on the left of screen, animals run from the forest. Those are burning embers flying through the air. People further on our being chased by the monster fire. No houses. No cars. James this is what it left behind. The view from inside the bronx city. Police say a handful of people may have stayed here and survived. Three days on, the fires are still raging out of control. Thousands people trapped near the city were flown to safety but police say flames up to 200 feet high on both sides of the road have forced them to suspend the convoy and they are worried about the risk of an explosion at a nearby oil facility. With the amount of material there youre looking at a 14 limiter blast radius. It is a pretty substantial area. Families unsure whether or not their homes have survived the wait for news is grim. Around 150 helicopters are still fighting this fire. The challenge for the pilots and more than a thousand firefighters is clear from the air. The extent of this wildfire is breathtaking. And the power of the fire is truly awesome. Just look at it. Is what the firefighters are having to deal with. This is just has erupted in the last 20 minutes. The flames are being fanned by very strong winds. As if that was not bad enough, temperatures tomorrow are forecast to soar. Laura thousands left homeless by that fire. What will they return to . The last time full congress of the Ruling Workers Party was held jimmy carter was in the white house and come job kim jongil and was not even born. They are pulling out all the stops for the public display meant to solidify his power. From callaway with this report. It is the kind of welcome you would expect for the leader of the worlds most isolated totalitarian state. He is young and just four years into the job and he may not yet be totally secured his position. In this year of the seven Party Congress the military and the people published a Great Success in the First Hydrogen bomb test and the launch of an earth observation satellite. But, away from the conference, government minders have been keen to show off a different side of pyongyang. Shops. The city has more commerce, once a rare sight in this rigid socialist system, appears to be flourishing. Heres Something Else they are keen to show off and something you do not normally associate with north korea. A football training academy. The brainchild where told of the countries leader. Our guide hopes it shows a modern, dynamic, outward looking north korea. Ad yet it also highlights massive problem. The development of the academy like the rest of the economy has been badly hit by sanctions. Some people would say that if north korea stopped its Nuclear Program and ambitions the sanctions would be lifted for you it is looking in front of you. What do i do, do i have to put down their down and wait with nothing in my hands for the world wolf to come and eat me . The maybe hence of economic reform but in north korea everything comes back to regime survival. The real purpose of this workers Party Congress is consolidating this mans hold on power. For more on the gathering underway i spoke with the former director for Asian Affairs at the National Security council. He is now at georgetown university. How do think that kim jongun is going to move to consolidate his our at this Rare Congress . Guest so much of it is about the peantry and the displaying of the myth of leadership and so what this Party Congress does is provide him a stage to declare himself the leader of the country might the successful transiti has to get placed his father and that he is the leader of the country for the next 50 will and i presume there be some sort of vote of the party on a number of issues including that and that will be it. That will be the way he will declare himself the leader. Laura could there be another of these Nuclear Tests as a show of strength while the congress is going on . Guess it is a good question. I thought they might do a fifth test before the congress to truly establish themselves as a Nuclear Weapon state but it going as though they are to create that narrative at the congress regardless of whether they do a fifth test and then it seems to me like theyre going to focus on the success of their Nuclear Program as the basis upon which to forge ahead on Economic Development to make themselves a rich nation. Laura isnt there a contradiction there is as long as there are sanctions how on economy tick off, how does he square the circle . Just that is absolutely right. They are in a death spiral of sorts where they constantly have to look to their Nuclear Programs for legitimacy which International Outrage and sanctions that make it impossible to fulfill the second half of their socalled doctrine which is Economic Development. I do not think kim is going to put this contradiction on display. He is going to forge ahead with the talking point that that is nationext step in the will just have to follow along with that. Even though the strategy itself makes no sense. Laura it is a close a society but kim jongun has been public about executing rivals. Do you think there are signs of discontent with his leadership . Guest i think there have been and that is part of the reason we have seen such a large number of highlevel purges of not just predecessors but his own people that he is he has put on leadership positions. That shows there was some churn inside the system which is what makes this Party Congress so important for him because it will be it is his and mark for saying he is now in charge and there is no more dissension underneath. Laura thank you for joining us. The turkish president said his country will not make changes to its antiterror laws in return for visa free travel saying we will go our way, you go yours. Primeomes after the minister announced he was stepping down. For more, i am joined by joshua walker. He is now a transatlantic fellow. Why is turkeys president saying that he is not going to make changes to his antiterrorist law when it was agreed that he would as part of this migrant deal with the eu . Guest there is a had aware he feels he has no constraints and he is able to say and do whatever he believes and there is not a good cop to balance this. There were disagreements behind the scenes that led to the removal of the prime minister. President feel the he has the eu over barrel, that they need to deal to stop the flow of migrants and it does seem to be working so he can get away with this. Would you look at the balance of power it is in turkeys favor. Explained how important this is an this is a case in which the president can say we will do it our way. He is playing turkish politics on a much grander scale than we have seen. Is he trying to move away from the prior lament tree parliamentary system question mark is he trying to have a complete paragraph . That has been no secret. He has wanted a president ial system from the moment he came in and he has been trying to change it for a while. He had a setback when he lost the elections in june but he came roaring back in november. Many of us thought we would he would let this life for a little bit. With the resignation it is back into the books and he will push forward. He is telling everyone this is what he is going to do. Learn what does it mean for the eu, for america to have an authoritarian leader in turkey which is literally the bridge between europe and asia in an increasingly unstable region . Guest we have to understand how did we go wrong, how is it that the eu and turkey which has always been one of the bulwarks in the region whether it is from the nato time to the current time, we need to look at ourselves and understand had we get to where we are because right now the president is able to negotiate in a transactional manner. Laura does the syrian conflict give him leverage with washington . Guest absolutely. The turks might be miscalculating how important they are. It is clear the issue of the kurds of northern syria, the question of how long a sock will stay. It seems to me that as we look is nopiece solution there way to get around the fact that turkey has a large role to play and the turkish president will use that. He is isnt he concerned about the issue in his orders . Guest we used to believe that it seems all aspects of Turkish Foreign policy are domestic. He is having ramifications far and beyond what we would have calculated. Laura can anything stop his president ial ambitions . Guest it seems we are heading toward a newly a new election. We will have to see what the elections fraying and the president has never lost an election. Surprised are will be surprised. Watching bbc world news america. Concern over the impact of the zika virus. There is a fight over funding now as well. Honors,e deepest lace seven miles beneath the surface of the pacific ocean. Scientists are getting a rare glimpse of what lives in the depths of the marianas trench. David and alien world and export right now by a submarine. One of the strangest and most spectacular sites. A luminous jellyfish pulsing its way through the mariana trench. The darkest, deepest waters anywhere on the planet area and scientists on the surface are amazed. So beautiful. A sea cucumber and twisting in light it has never seen before. An image that was not only filmed but was also really live. The revolutions can be watched by anyone with access to the internet. It is part of a new age of exploration with marine researchers on board the expedition ship sharing their discoveries with scientists around the world. The deep sea is a place of wonder and beauty. We will have the chance to go through and make sense of it as scientists later. The colors, the delicate life warms down there, it is astounding the intricate wonders that nature can produce. I think it is a sponge. Some of the discoveries are depressing. There is litter even in the abyss. Rubbish that has drifted down through several miles to the ocean floor. It is a new thread to the creatures here. They have had to adapt to the extremes of pressure. This is what is known as a ghost shark. Has or has been said that we know more about them and then the list oceans. This expedition and others that will follow are changing that. Laura Major League Baseball has decided to relocate a pair of games to miami due to growing concerns over the zika virus. Experts warned it could pose a serious threat to the mainland u. S. The white house wants appointment billion dollars to tackle the mosquito borne virus but they are finding a different difficult to convince congress. 33 weeks and counting. Rachels baby will be or an early but everything looks ok. The baby is having hiccups. Recently they had to do with something more dramatic. Regnant woman whose babies whose baby developed severe problems. This is the brain of a baby at the same age. Hadrter the pregnant woman traveled to Central America where she became infected. At 19 weeks severe troubles began to show and she had a termination. What thenot know chances of her baby being infected are. I cannot tell you that you are ok because your gun to the third trimester and it will not cause you problems. We do not know any of that. Reporter the fears that mosquitoes will move northwards and locally transmitted outbreaks are all but inevitable. Here on capitol hill the threat is all too real. Told on a swamp, washington is one of those areas that could be at risk. They found the species of the mosquito that can carry the virus just around the corner from here. The immediate concern in congress is the most 2 billion the white house is asking for right now. These things are always given take discsions but we have more than enough. Dollarsa 3. 92 and annual budget. We can find 1. 9 billion someplace in that vast amount and put it where it needs to be and it needs to be spent on the zika virus. Researchers have begun work on a vaccine but it could take until 2020 for that to be ready. They insist new money is needed now. Rexam used money that i would otherwise use for other diseases. Malaria, tuberculosis. That is a stopgap measure. Very soon we will hit the wall in that and we will absolutely to come and. Y otherwise we will not able to continue the effort that we started. Arehile scientists confident about the link between the zika virus of birth defects there is still much we do not know. While both sides in congress agree the need for more money, just how much and where to get it from is far from settled. Laura jeb bush is adding his name to a list of republicans who say they will not vote for donald trump. Also voted clinton. Really imaging for donald is a predictable his rival singh he will not vote for him . Guest normally what happens is everybody its the words and gets in line and unifies and declares whatever they said about the person they were running against in their own party that person and the other party is much worse. A number of his former opponent to say that but this does show how out of the ordinary this republican races been. The nastiness and and the philosophical divide of what exactly it means to be a republican are things that are not going to heal. There is a long list of republican grandees who are ambivalent. Paul ryan also said he was not yet ready to doorstop trumpet we know he will meet with him next week. Is that going to change anything . Guest things are not promising. Donald trump today said the two before we goeet our separate ways. So this does not sound like these two are coming into this meeting assuming there is a meeting of the minds. There are real differences that cannot be breached. Work it is getting pretty confusing. Who speaks further Publican Party now and who leads it . That is just it. To be as it mean republican . Donald trump has gone against the party on so many of the issues it once considered sacred hisher it is noninterventionist stance on his vow toilitary, protect entitlements, he is not a strident on social issues as a lot of them would say. He is suspicious of free trade. All of these are basic tenants of the party where he now finds himself the standardbearer. Laura and yet he got more votes than anyone has ever gotten in a republican primary so does and give him the right, he has won the party. He is arguing that having people like paul ryan complain about him does not hurt him. He is arguing this will help him. Public and about the party donors because they are sitting on their money. That could be an epic loss. One of the things that when trump was running against the other republicans in the primary one of the things he bragged about was he did not need anybodys money. He was spinning his own money. This is not going to be the case in the Fall Campaign and the democrats are building a 1 billion machine to take him down. Needs not only the infrastructure for Campaign Donations but he also needs to turn to a lot of these donors who are themselves bitter about how this race turned up. Also trying to turn to the groups he has alienated like with that tweet about hispanics. Can he be that convincing of about all that talk about building the wall with mexico . Guest good tweet where he was eating a talk go all which is not actually mexican food was mostly mocked on all sides as clueless and some people argue defensive. Lurk on to david and bro will so great his 90th birthday. Going strong. He has taken us around the globe with his documentaries. We have rather a Different Program for you. There is more meeting and here thanerstanding with any other animal i know. Very striking when you sit as close to an orangutan is this to see how similar they are human beings.
