12:02 am
hurricane left a trail of devastation across the caribbean john heilemann has more now from. you may be able to see in the oven you go home it's just like any of the other news here on bob you they're completely sort of abandon this really is a desert island right now there's no water there's little food and there's no inhabitants apart from a couple of ponies or horses and dogs and cats around here the only other things here us and a few people from the government officials that don't just come out just to check out at this stage what exactly the scale of the disaster is and if we pan a little bit to our left you can get some sort of idea going past a call that just someone left there you see is an area of concrete that was. shot a shoe shop at a clothing shop before you see it not just time you see it's actually just completely gone well you've got there is the concrete floor and we see other things and it's just the same in the other not everything is not damaged we've also seen
12:03 am
houses just got the fronts ripped off of them like the old house and other structures are relatively ok but the government says that about ninety percent of the island has suffered severe structural damage here and of course it's not just about buildings that's people's homes and their lives as well things in homes like more to log watches that have just gotten clothes toys that have had to be abandoned the whole population about one thousand six hundred people have been evacuated to the island next door. and they're just waiting really to see how many months it's going to be before things go back to something approaching normality here so they can resume their lives we talking to some people from the government here and they just said listen this is too big for us to get hold of class cells we're going to need international aid there are some countries that apparently pitching in already venezuela which has close ties to the caribbean islands which have formed the sort of bastion of support for them as apparently all been already
12:04 am
been pitching in for help and they're looking for help from other sources the governments put a price tag on everything that has to be done through. operate the island of bob uta at about two hundred million dollars it's not just the things we already talked about there's also the electricity the telephone systems are down well the saying is that we want to try and remake this island but also remake it better so that the next hurricane that comes along we're more prepared to deal with it elsewhere it's feared a quarter of all homes in the florida keys have been destroyed after hurricane a tour through the island chain some residents have been allowed to allowed back but thousands are still cast off from their homes as authorities struggle to assess the full damage further north a weakening storm is continuing to push through alabama and mississippi after causing flooding in coastal towns across the state of georgia and south carolina millions in florida are still without power and gallagher joins us live now from miami and what are we starting to learn about the impact of hurricane.
12:05 am
well very different depending on which part of the state you are in if you've seen those aerial shots from the florida keys you'll know the full impact of the devastation there a quarter of all homes destroyed of course hurricane hit the florida keys at a full strength category five here on the southeast coast in miami where we got very very strong winds we got that stronger side of the storm things are starting to feel like they're getting back to normal businesses are beginning to open staff are beginning to return to man those businesses and power steadily but surely is coming on of course millions of other people across the state are still without power now if you look at places like the florida panhandle there are still problems up there with floodwaters not yet receding and in one case the mare of a city up there in the panhandle is warning that that surge could come in once again so depending on where you are in the state is depending on how quickly you
12:06 am
are recovering and of course then there's all the people that have to get back home i live here so i know where people went for the most part they went to orlando some as far as atlanta some just flew out of state never of course got to come back we're seeing flights come in here in miami but very very sporadically nothing like normal so it is going to take days for those people to come back and if there's no power at their homes which is the case for many people it's not really worth the making that trip just yet so lots of challenges remaining here in the state of florida and so overall roughly how long the authorities think it's going to take and meet those challenges how long before everyone can return to their homes before they have electricity back businesses and schools can fully reopen. well if we take miami dade county where i am from now where i'm standing right now they restore power to six hundred thousand people last night i just got a phone call about half an hour ago that the power is back on in my house and as i can tell you as a resident that's
12:07 am
a huge sigh of relief so they are working very very quickly but i think the key thing to take away from all this is the lessons that have been learned i know it's very soon but the lessons being learned here are is that technology makes a huge amount of difference that accurate storm tracking hour by hour is hugely significant also hugely significant that the storm actually hit the west coast of florida which is not so populated and the power was sucked out of it fairly quickly so the devastation wasn't quite as bad as some were predicting the problem with that of course is the next time that governor rick scott comes on the television and tells people you got to leave your lives are at risk they may not take that so seriously we saw that in the florida keys there's a different mentality down there people often ride out these storms because they get hit most often and those that stayed really did put their lives at risk but again even the damage down there wasn't as bad as some had predicted here in the bay of miami we saw the ocean levels rise up to where the boat docks are but again if that would have been a direct hit on miami it would be an entirely different story which again shows to
12:08 am
goes to show you how important the storm tracking is the other takeaway from all this is that the emergency plans the officials were ready for this of course florida gets hit more than any other state by hurricanes they're well practiced but it does make a huge difference in people's lives and of course most people did listen intently thanks very much annie gallacher in miami well turning now to other areas impacted by the storm the french president has been visiting the french islands battered by hurricane on the last week and on your macro was briefed by disaster officials on the island of guadalupe where aid efforts for st maarten are being coordinated ten people died in the french part of the island and on the nearby island of sound by telling me. well secure the city. for those who live on the island there is anger because people are tired i understand this anger and i'm also going to martin because of this to reassure people to show them full determination to console and
12:09 am
also to listen to their anger because it is there it is normal and it's my role also to accept this. u.s. president all trampas played down the importance of the new u.n. sanctions against north korea over its nuclear and missile tests the security council unanimously approved a resolution on monday which restricts oil imports and bans textile exports but trump hinted that much stronger action will be needed against pyongyang in the future we had a vote yesterday on sanctions we think it's just another very small step. not a big deal rex and i were just discussing that not a big i don't know what has any impact but certainly it was nice to get a fifteen to nothing vote but those sanctions are nothing compared to what ultimately will have to happen. with sanctions were significantly watered down to avoid a veto by russia and china but they still provoked a defiant reaction from north korea who warn the u.s.
12:10 am
it could face the greatest pain it's ever experienced kathy novak has more from seoul. this was the result the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. wanted even though nikki haley had to weaken the resolution to get it a unanimous vote to punish north korea for its latest nuclear bomb test today the security council has acted in a different way today we're attempting to take the future of the north korean nuclear program out of the hands of its outlaw regime. at a u.n. sponsored conference on disarmament in geneva north korea's ambassador said his country also known as the d.p. r. k. condemned the sanctions in the strongest terms the tepee had a-k. is ready to use any form of alchemy to me. the forthcoming measures by d.p. r. k. will make the us suffer the greatest pain is never experienced in its history
12:11 am
before the vote in new york celebrations in pyongyang for the scientists developing the north's nuclear bomb and missile technology you wanted to close your moon the recent hydrogen bomb test which we conducted was the beacon of our great light demonstrating death to the us and confidence a victory to the north koreans. the u.s. and its allies hope the added pressure on north korea's economy will force the government to stop its nuclear and missile testing and return to the negotiating table. and. it is important to put in our present a level of pressure on north korea to make a change its policies. conny gyptian way north korea should realize on its own that its reckless challenge against international peace would only result in more powerful sanctions from the international community. but the approved sanctions are not as stringent as those proposed in an earlier draft u.s.
12:12 am
resolution obtained by al jazeera the original draft included a total ban of sale of oil petroleum and gas to north korea that was changed to some restrictions on sales it also had included a total ban on hiring and paying workers from north korea a measure that would have mainly affected china the original version also called for a travel ban and as its freeze on the north korean leader kim jong un and freezing the finances of north korea's national airline choreo air the watered down version was a resolution china and russia could support sending a unified message from the international community the question now is what north korea will do next south korea's defense ministry says it's closely monitoring activity at the north's nuclear research center which is ready for another test at any time the government here also says the north could be preparing for another missile launch kathy novak al-jazeera seoul or
12:13 am
a button of enforcing some of these sanctions falls on customs officials on the chinese border with north korea and china correspondent adrian brown has more from down down hours before the u.n. vote it was business as usual in dandong a steady flow of empty lorries to north korea cross the single lane friendship bridge a vital economic conduit for the north. nearby other trucks enter a customs yard before heading the other way. there covered cargoes offering few clues of what might be inside but some trucks appeared to be carrying building materials. experts say because north korea's government is now so hard up china is selling on credit. so the north needs hard cash from wherever it can get it the stirring patrie arctic songs are a feature of one of dandong most popular north korean restaurants inferi you
12:14 am
sanctions mean these performers can't be replaced by new musicians from the north the wages of the performers waitresses and cooks are collected directly by the regime a very lucrative source of hard currency what happens is when these restaurant is the people work they're basically all the money is going back on a pittance it's going to the people who are actually doing the business these are i would i don't say france because they offer real services analysts say that kim jong un knows that china's leaders will not allow his regime to collapse because of what could follow hundreds of thousands of refugees pouring across the border into china swimming across this very river and the prospect of a united and democratic south korea with the possibility of u.s. military bases right on china's doorstep in spite of that risk some chinese people think their government needs to be tougher with their neighbors and should all
12:15 am
united together and punish them otherwise they would just do more damage to us not of course north korea should be punished it has a great impact on china north korea is right next door if there is radiation cost by a nuclear test or even a war breaks out it will have tremendous impact on china cutting off the oil that china pumps underground to north korea from this refinery would have had a big impact but that was a step too far for china's leaders for now they'll continue their push for a diplomatic solution to reign in their old ally. adrian brown al jazeera. coming out for you this news hour millions of refugees children missing out completely on schooling we look at what it means for their future. on the front line with an elite branch of them philippines military in its fight

12:18 am

12:19 am
on the international community to find a resolution to me in march crackdown there are injuries few g.'s here hope the world spares a thought on how they will survive until then they go paul and cut to prolong the. iran's supreme leader says the lack of action by myanmar's de facto leader marks the death of the nobel peace prize unsung suchi was awarded the prize in one thousand nine hundred one. is calling for muslim nations to support their engine by pushing economic and political pressure on me and. you let me go to whom myanmar's government is doing this is a political issue and on top of that government is a woman who was awarded a nobel prize this marks the death of the nobel peace prize. millions of child refugees around the world are missing out on an education according to a u.n. report off of the world's refugees a school age children but three and a half million of them didn't get a single day of schooling in two thousand and sixteen just sixty one percent of
12:20 am
child refugees go places in primary school compared to ninety one percent of children not living in war and famine zones and just twenty three percent of teenage refugees are enrolled at a secondary school last year combat compared to eighty four percent elsewhere in the world or enrollment levels for refugee children are increasing in lebanon but the numbers are still no way near where aid workers say they should be and many children are still forced to work to support their families as mohammad john jim reports. for children who've seen too much war and struggled for too long singing about syria it seems. from all the poverty that's damaged their families from all the work they've enjoyed. twelve year old syrian refugee raps about issues most people twice her age couldn't begin to understand
12:21 am
like the long days she used to poison the field collecting vegetables in order to support her family. happy to be learning she demonstrates her newfound musical ability. i'm really happy that i'm singing here i met new friends of women gold and we started writing songs about child labor and children's rights and about peace until recently is ross fellow band member was also worked on a form in lebanon's bekaa valley now the fifteen year old isn't just back in the classroom she's decided she wants to become a journalist. through journalism i can deliver the mail. i want highlighting the suffering of all the refugees whose voice is on ted and i can also express myself through my writing. many of the children attending this informal school also have
12:22 am
a job coming to class on days off their exhaustion is evident but their thirst for knowledge is far more apparent. he works with the beyond association and helps run the center she tells us life for these children has been extremely difficult. or not you would have a time when they were deprived of their rights and they watch for a long time long hours and hard labor they had no rights to tool and what we're trying to do is lessen the amount of suffering aid workers say programs like these also help ease trauma and act as a form of therapy in the lab and on there are at least half a million syrian refugee children and to give you some idea of why there is so much concern about their futures according to the u.n. h.c.r. in the past school year less than half of those kids had enrolled in schools here. for the moment at least these youngsters are transported on this makeshift stage
12:23 am
where dreams easier to obtain in this unofficial classroom where they hope an education will always be a look i'm going to look to see in the congo with the. well i'm joined now from yale university in the united states by a so nice she's the founder and c.e.o. of blue rose compass a nonprofit organization giving educational opportunities to young refugees and as i was watching mohammed's report there i was struck by something that he observed that that you have noted in previous studies that you have done and that is just that she a sense of exist exhaustion on the child on the part of many child refugees when it comes to attending school and going to their classes when often their families depending on these children for their own survival
12:24 am
absolutely i mean many of these kids and we are no we're talking about lebanon a moment ago. are having to work in the day so if they go to school maybe it's a night shift class and you know they're exhausted by the time they get to school in the dub refugee camp in kenya many of the kids go to school to take naps because they're exhausted from the chores other doing the day and the work that they're doing so school for refugees and education is never linear and it's never the same as for kids that are not in the same situation so yes exhaustion is a great part unfortunately perhaps one bright spot in the u.n. h.c.r. report is that enroll mint of primary aged kids has risen over the past academic year from fifty percent sixty one percent now while we seeing improvements with children refugee children of primary school age but when it comes to secondary school those figures of enrollment a stagnant. right so i think you know and you have to look at it country
12:25 am
by country because i really think. the case in jordan is somewhat slightly different in the case in lebanon or turkey or elsewhere just because different governing bodies are handling education for refugees in each of these and have different sorts of supports in the case of lebanon where the debt is a little more difficult to get because the government handles their education for refugees on like in jordan where care and you and it's your would do that part if you look at a lot of jordan first. the children are coming into primary but they they're not because teachers are and probably not the best equipped teachers you know the amount the amount of refugees that are in these countries is so vast that there aren't enough teachers and schools are in triple shifts so these kids are not graduating to secondary and also because they're working so many of them go into the workforce is the fact we were used you mentioned before and we very often focus
12:26 am
on young children on primary and secondary school aged children but of course a lot of students aspire to go to university as well how do if you're a displaced person how do you even begin to embark upon something like that when you need you know paper was references transcripts. it's incredibly challenging so my nonprofit we take refugees from the areas where they are refugees and meaning well the majority would be right now levanon jordan and also from syria and then of course sub-saharan africa or also in the horn of africa but without transcripts it's incredibly difficult we have incredible partnerships with universities and it's case by case the allow them to take different tests. if the transcripts don't exist and there are many reasons by the way why these transcripts may not exist one is they could have been lost along the way the other is you know when the bombs hit your home the last thing you're thinking of is let
12:27 am
me get my documents you're thinking let me get my grandmother so family comes first and these documents just get lost along the way sometimes are stolen sometimes they sell them because of course they're if they're the real thing they're worth a lot. so people will try to use them too so they can get into universities but we have to fabricate a history of not only identification but also transcription education because we don't have that documentation so it's incredibly challenging once they have if they've left let's say syria contacts if they've left syria seven years ago and now they've been in limbo for seven years not at school they didn't graduate when they were in syria we don't have a documentation if they can get back into the education path it will say in jordan or lebanon and graduate from secondary school then week they can potentially go into a tertiary education but in lebanon and jordan i would say that's extremely limited
12:28 am
for refugees what we do is we take them outside of what i call the bubble and why i do that is because we really feel that these kids under the circumstances are in an income and governments and countries where they're really not. i don't see they're not being welcome because he's governments are doing the best they can but the numbers are. are so large that things fall through the cracks and definitely tertiary absolutely false through the cracks it's not the core from u.n.h.c.r. or care or any of these organizations their their primary focus is safety it's security and it's primary and secondary tertiary and vocational training perhaps in some of these instances but absolutely tertiary is not a focus and. for me that is so critical imagine these are adolescents the last thing you want to do is give adolescents a lot of time and being in limbo and doing nothing especially when they're so close
12:29 am
to still. syria where you have all these terrorist groups ready to recruit and this is the prime age of recruitment is the adolescent age so for me finding a solution for these kids to go to tertiary school and i prefer taking them like i said outside also these governments they actually are ok with us taking them outside because there are so many of them there that we're taking them to incredible universities around the world and we're getting top class education and we need to help get these kids prepared so when things are better in syria or sudan or somalia they are able to go back and be c.e.o. see if o's are managing directors of companies instead you're sitting idle somewhere you're not having any education you're not in the workforce what are you going to do when you go back well back to and how will you rebuild indeed and thank you so much thank you so much donna sunny's for really helping us to understand the challenges facing these kids i should say students across old age groups when it
12:30 am
comes to their education thank you. now a meeting of the arab league and caro descended into shouting as ministers from qatar on the floor for states blockade in the gulf nation traded insults. u.s. foreign ministers said the blockade by his country saudi arabia bahrain in egypt would stay in place until cattle stop interfering in other countries affairs minister for state affairs said no evidence had been presented for the claims it supports terrorist organizations and called the blockade an assault on its sovereignty rao on live television comes as the crisis enters its one hundredth day on wednesday saudi arabia says it's for an i saw plot to blow up its defense ministry headquarters but would be bombers have been identified as two yemeni nationals living in the country a security force said authorities seized going aids and firearms during the operation and the plotters were training to use explosive belts as well as several

12:32 am
flooding started some parts of croatia reported up to two hundred eighty millimeters of rain from this system and that to give us a major problem with the flooding now the system responsible is pulling away towards the north as you can see from the satellite pictures say things for this region a definitely coming down now in fact there's not a great to left to it as we head through wednesday really have broken up instead we'll see more intense storms work in from the northwest so lots of heavy rain here oversee not that warm either and that gradually pushes its way southwards as we head through thursday so on thursday again to the hour where we're going to see some of the heaviest of the rains and they could be some problems here to the north of that staying cool just seventeen in london but down towards the southeast and parts of europe still very very hot here with bucharest up around twenty nine for the other side of the mediterranean you can see the winds here all filtering down from the new also it's certainly not too hot to along the north coast of egypt or into libya force in chile as the winds are still feeding down from the northwest on
