the first was a tropical cyclone, the hurricane dorian of east africa. it happened in march of 2019. over 1,300 people were killed in mozambique and several other countries around there. currently they estimate over $2 billion worth of damage. and those type of events are made worse as we know by climate change. but they destroy the resilience of communities. we talked about ecological resilience, but community resilience is extremely important. that's something we have a much greater ability to impact. the second challenge is what's happening in central africa between chad and nigeria. that lake has lost 90% of its water volume over the past 15 years. that's not solely due to climate change, it's also due to irrigation. that illustrates the problems we're facing. the way we deal with lands creates positive feedbacks. in the area of lake chad in particular, the changes that are being seen in fishing communities and different agricultural communities that rely on rain fed water and the lake for irrigation, have created such levels of poverty food insecuri

and we're seeing the higher amounts from hurricane dorian to tropical storm imelda. and hurricane season doesn't end until november 30th. so this is actually the fifth consecutive year we've spent at least $1 billion. so it's kind of hard to really deny the climate change. these storms continue to be very fierce, and we're seeing, instead of a ten-year period, they're happening over two to four years. >> and having serious economic devastation on our communities and towns along the coast. janessa, thank you. >>> still ahead, despite the president's push to blame ukraine for helping hillary clinton, a new report led by senate republicans actually backs up the u.s. intelligence assessment that it was russia who intervened to help trump. we're going to dig into that report, next. work immediately to block the virus and protect healthy cells. abreva acts on it. so you can too. - [woman] with my shark, i deep clean messes like this, this, and even this. but i don't have to clean this, because the self-cleaning brush roll removes hair while i clean. - [announcer] shark, th

all right let's go to turkey now waiting correspondent dorian jones is standing by for us to tell us more about this turkish military operation. well the ground phrase of the operation has started according to a statement from the turkish ministry that was after a sustained day of bombardment by turkish fighter bombers and turkish should tillery that hit a whole variety of of towns and settlements all across the syrian border of this syrian port on the syrian kurdish region all the main towns are believed to have been hit by strikes as well as targets of belonging to the syrian kurdish militia we also according to a statement released by turkey's defense ministry said $141.00 targets have been hit and underlines the scale of the operation that is unfolding it had been expected be far more limited at least in the early stages but this indicates that the turkish government all keen to get on with this operation. and underlines how large an operation this is going to be absolutely does indeed seem far more expansive than rapids than many observers had at the haps though and with that wh

and you just go to istanbul now that's correspondent dorian jones is standing by hey dorian so there we have a turkish president. making threats what's he trying to get at that. i think this is all about money and the comments by young clueless the european union president yesterday where he said that european union would not provide any money for what turkey's plans of a safe zone in syria turkey want to create a 30 kilometer deep several 100 kilometer long a buffer zone in which he says he will house millions of us here refugees currently living in turkey now turkey is looking for the european union to pay for that is a price tag of over 20000000000 euros and the comments by you away he's condemned this operation call for restraint said that we will not give a single penny for these plans has provoked this angry response from one because a key part of the plan is that the european union ultimately pay for what it once said is a 1000000 new homes in this syrian regime area that turkey tries to take control ok stand by dorian because since turkey launched its offensive on wednesday c

let's bring in correspondent dorian jones who's covering the story for us from istanbul dorian so it is now day 2 of the offensive how fast are turkish forces now advancing in syria well we all seem intensification of the fighting particularly around the towns of telling. these are 2 strategically important towns the heavy fighting last night and that fighting is still continuing today we've took your special forces believed to be leading the operation on top of that strike some artillery continuing to strike all along this several 100 kilometer front that has been opened up by turkey defense minister claiming that they have captured a number of important villages and of a strategic targets at the same time reinforcements are steadily building up pouring into syria also accompanied by elements of the free syrian army a force that has been fighting the syrian regime but now a closely allied with turkish forces. meanwhile dorian we've seen the turkish president lashing out at any criticism of this offensive and he's now threatening to send refugees to the e.u. let's listen to what he s

to let some of the jurors need we're not terrorists and we're not foreigners dorian and so on and the president has this fighting with each other this is why angry now in the absence of a national dialogue between this group of indigenous communities from across the country and the government of letting the expectation is that these clashes and protests only expected to continue protestors in haiti have clashed with police in the capital port au prince hours after a journalist was found shot dead in his car then strangers have burned tires and spilled oil on streets demanding the resignation of the president has been in moyes the killing of the reporter namea joseph happened during a surge in violence that has killed at least 20 people businesses and schools have been closed for weeks america's former ambassador to ukraine says donald trump pressured the state department to fire her in an explosive testimony to members of congress leading an impeachment inquiry into the u.s. president marie van of it says that she was removed from her post because of quote unfounded and false claims t

and joining me now from istanbul is the correspondent dorian jones dorian german chancellor angela merkel has told turkey to immediately halt its offensive in northern syria have we heard any reaction from the turkish side. no there's been no reaction as of yet but it is expected to make what is a listen to these latest call in fact earlier in the day speaking mocked european leaders calls for an end to this operation underline the turkey's commitment that they are going to pursue this operation until all their object is or have been achieved and the present heard one does appear to be indicating a further expansion in the initial objectives of creating a 30 kilometer safe zone it now talk of expanding the operations far further than that i'm speaking to a source head of the operation he said the turkish military persians could be as far as 100 kilometers deep into syria possibly the taliban health sako where the many of the reminded of refugees are fleeing to possibly took shoppers could extend as far as that turkey really sees this is an opportunity of securing its border in its mind on

well joining us now from istanbul is the correspondent dorian jones story of german chancellor angela merkel has told turkey to immediately halt its offensive in northern syria have we heard any reaction from the turkish side yet. well there's been no direct response to chancellor merkel's call for sunday president one has been dismissing calls similar calls from other european leaders saying turkey's england to listen to what he says is this call to end the fight against terrorism they said this is very much about the future of the country nothing will dissuade turkey from continuing its operations and in fact turkey does appear to be ramping up its operations given the fast moving developments happening in syria now that turkey very much see this is a key moment this is not a moment now to step back but rather to operations up further there's even speculation taking could extend its operations far beyond the original objective of a 30 kilometer safe so turkey really sees this as a critical moment for the whole region this is a moment the turkey has to address all its concerns and se

let's get the latest now with dorian jones joining us from istanbul good morning dorian what are you hearing about the agreement between the kurds and damascus could syrian government forces soon be deployed in the north of syria well we're not hearing any details on the precise arrangement in fact there hasn't been any official confirmation by damascus that a deal has been struck other than that they are deploying forces towards the border with turkey they are believed to have moved into the town of cop army all right on turkey's border very strategically important but they are the understanding of this deal is that they will ultimately secure the whole of syria's northern border with turkey but as i said there is real no details on what will make the details of how this will be carried out but it's be i think the understanding is that the syrian kurdish forces are accepting that they are now falling under the control of the damascus regime if that one statement from a prominent kurdish leaders said we don't trust these people were very unhappy this is a very bitter pill to take but
