our correspondent laura trevelyan is in wilmington. hurricane florence has been downgraded to at optical storm but she still poses a great threat. the high winds have subsided a bit and so high winds have subsided a bit and so has the storm surge, but now what we are seeing is absolutely torrential rainfall as she pounds the coast of north carolina and south carolina. and the threat now is coming from flooding, potentially catastrophic flooding. i am speaking to you from the cape fear river in wilmington north carolina. it has already broken its banks. and we are told that the river won't actually top onto a tuesday. that means that homes and properties are going to flood well into next week. and that is now the worry for people, can they return to their homes if they evacuated, only to find that they are going to flood again? so, across the south—eastern coast of the united states, from virginia, maybe even all the way to georgia, people are braced to see how much damage of this storm can still do. laura trevelyan. meanwhile a super

laura trevelyan, bbc news, washington. as president trump returned to washington he again cast doubt on the future of his attorney generaljeff sessions. mr trump has already criticised him for stepping aside from the inquiry into alleged russia interference. now the president has gone further, effectively saying he "doesn't have an attorney general". i asked professorjens david 0hlin of cornell university what he understands by the expression "i don't have an attorney general". i think what he really means is that he does not have his own personal attorney general. he has made it clear that he expects jeff sessions to act as a very loyal individual who will have donald trump's back and oversee the russia investigation. and, of course, that is precisely whatjeff sessions did not do, you recuse himself from the russia investigation. ithink not do, you recuse himself from the russia investigation. i think that really enraged donald trump. he was expecting jeff sessions to act as his personal attorney general. in one sense, if

in the past hour, i've been speaking the bbc‘s laura trevelyan, who is on the coast in wilmington, north carolina. she's been telling me more about preparations for the coming storm. just now, the power company turned off the electricity all along rights milled beach, and in two hours, a mandatory evacuation order goes into effect here. as you can see, there are very few people on the beach, most people are clearing out. as you observe, the services getting up behind me. we expect the hurricane, which is currently about 400 miles out to sea, to get here thursday night into friday. and here's the thing, rico, the current projections have its stalling just off the coast and have it churning for 24—36 hours, that could mean we get very strong winds and catastrophic levels of rainfall, leading to a men's flooding. that happened in last year in houston, which i covered, and the fear is the same thing could happen here. the government of this state has been very clear, disaster is at the doorstep, he said, and it's coming through. indeed it's coming through and the people being left behind a

the bbc's laura trevelyan is in wilmington, north carolina, and we can cross to her now the conditions do seem to be worsing. what is like there? they absolutely are, jane. we have the rain bands that are pounding the coastline. this is just the very beginning of hurricane florence. we are beginning to see the winds pick up. all this, and we don't even expect the hurrifane to make la until friday morning. this is going to be a massive rainhavent. we justhe governor of north carolina saying to reople that tn is what they need to worry about. remember, rivers keep on recing. we are eng this hurricane to linger off the coast and dump rain on us maybe four days, the governor just said. i call it chris buckler has all the very latest. -- my colleague chris buckler has all the very latest. chris: on the edge of the wind carolinas,e of the the wind water is rising. the this is just a taste of what florence threatens. the hurricane has been making its slow approach from the atlantic, and if what has been forecast comes true, days of flooding lies ahead. >> there is talk of storm surges of nine

the bbc‘s laura trevelyan is in wilmington for us. isa is a danger for people that they think it is a category two so we don't need to get out of the way? that is certainly the message that the governor of north carolina was having in mind when he said just because this is a category two hurricane doesn't mean you should not worry about it because the risk will come from the prolonged rainfall, and what could be catastrophic flooding that we are expecting. right now, as you were saying, what is happening is the tropical storm force winds from the hurricane are beginning to batter the outer banks of north carolina, just a little bit north of me. we are expecting the storm to get here and make landfall about 7am on friday, but from tonight we expect to have very strong winds, and rainfall. we are in an evacuation zone and most people have gone i would say that some are trying to ride it out, but as the governor of north carolina said today, this is a storm that could kill, and we have just heard in the latest update from the hurricane a

roy cooper there. 0ur correspondent laura trevelyan is in wilmington, in north carolina. we heard the advice being given by the governor, people speaking earlier about the flooding, tornadoes, waterspouts. the warnings, the dangers have not cleared yet. no, not at all, hurricane florence has been downgraded, it is now a tropical storm, she's dumping so much rainfall on north carolina and parts of south carolina that the worst of the flooding is yet to, as the governor of north carolina roy cooper was outlining down the clip you played. as an illustration of this, the river behind me, it is not jude to actually quest until she stayed. so that means the worst flooding that will be expressed here is not for a few days yet. that is why this is very deceptive and it is widely governor is trying to make point that more people's lives are at risk now done well when this thing made landfall. because we are expecting some places of north carolina to get out the year's worth of rain injust two or three carolina to get out the year's worth of rain in just two or three days, so of ra

i've been speaking to our correspondent, laura trevelyan, who's in wilmington in north carolina. she says florence has been downgraded but the storm has become wider. as you can see behind me, the leading edge of hurricane florence is just reaching us here in wilmington north carolina. we are really being battered by rains. the winds are getting much, much heavier. although the hurricane has been downgraded to a category 2, forecasters are saying don't be complacent about that, because it has become much wider. and it is in effect a category 5 flooding threat. if this carries on for several days, we may get record rainfall here in north carolina. and that could lead to catastrophic flooding, as there is nowhere for the water to run off as water levels rise on the coast, and also inland. so this is potentially a very dire situation, and already, by the way, it 60,000 people are without power, even as the hurricane just approaches. laura, are they listening to evacuation notices? in general, yes, they are. there is a barrier island behind us. people there have mostly heeded the war

laura trevelyan sent this report from north carolina. dramatic scenes as the leading edge of hurricane florence breaches the north carolina coast. rain and wind pummel the barrier islands exposed to the atlantic. they then move on. this huge slow—moving storm is now so this huge slow—moving storm is now so wide it is threatening the south—eastern coast of the us from the carolinas to georgia. it is the rain from the hurricane that could pose the greatest threat. forecasters warn that if we get prolonged rainfall over a couple of days he could be catastrophic flooding and if water levels rise they will inundate people ‘s homes. north carolina's governor is warning that conditions are only going to deteriorate. people inland could be threatened as well. there are fears that millions could be without power gci’oss that millions could be without power across the coastal south—east of the us as the triple hazard of hurricanes also wins, storm surge and flooding become a reality. many have fled their home, seeking shelter in evacua

we cross live now to laura trevelyan in the city of wilmington, north carolina where, as we heard a little earlier, a woman and her baby were killed after a tree fell on their house. what can you tell us about these fatalities? tonya the police department said the tragically a woman and her infant were killed when a tree fell on their house and of course the trees are falling because this morning here in wilmington, we had the highest winds recorded, 105 miles an hour we have not seen wind like this since the 19505. not seen wind like this since the 1950s. and what we're seeing now is this massive slow—moving gigantic storm, hurricane florence, and it's churning its way across north and south carolina. dumping enormous amounts of rainfall, you can see behind me the scene, the floodwaters arriving and we are told the river, that we are sitting next to it's not expected to peak until tuesday, because the storm will dump rain on us because the storm will dump rain on us for the next two days. my colleague chris has this report. the carolinas knew all of this was coming but they could never
