the us struck the gulf coast, the store, not side all power in new orleans. so angel, rain and high waves triggered flash floods. the storm made landfall as a category for hurricane, but has since been downgraded to a tropical storm. thousands of people were evacuated before the storm hit. you feel p as prime minister i b r. it is beating regional leaders as international pressure bills and the conflict in the northern region. his latest trip took him to wander where he met with president polk army, or there he met with the leader or few guns as president. you were, it was 70, and those are the headlines. stay with us here on al jazeera inside story is up. next. i lose baghdad has 1st to the gathering of the region main players, but can they reach common grounds and why is the united states this isn't my story . ah, ah hello there and welcome to the program. i'm the star. hey, now iraq has been holding a regional son. it aimed at promoting peace and reconciliation in the middle east. now it's hope that these talks will encourage its neighbors to talk to each

so here's why it's intensifying these warm gulf of mexico waters. and as we see toward the northern gulf, the temperature is about $32.00 degrees. so i'd, it's going to pass rate through there. and that's going to allow for the rabbit intensification. i to this storm add fuel to the fire. and all of this is happening about the 16th anniversary of katrina, which also went through the gulf of mexico, became a category 5 hurricane. but when it made landfall over, we use the ana. it was a category 3. also keeping tabs on what is now hurricane north, spilling a lot of rain toward the pacific coast of mexico. and this is going to move up through the gulf of california, going to steer through there. so we're going to watch to see if this does have an impact on the popular tourist hotspot of cobbler san lucas. so to hurricanes, but all eyes on ida and they are, we will keep a close eye on that. but if and i just thank you very much in deeds more weather with j. n. a moment still to come all the use are one of the presidents of origin seen as being invited a

here it's called the morganza to gulf hurricane protection system. that was designed and built in 2013. it is meant to withstand category 3. when we're talking about a powerful category 4, teetering on category 5, that's when we start testing the limits of what it is capable of. >> derek, be careful over there. we'll get back to you. derek van dam on the scene for us. further inland ed lavandera is joining us. it looks relatively calm so far. i suspect it will be getting a whole lot worse. >> reporter: port vincent is one of dozens, if not hundreds of towns here in southern louisiana that are praising for not just the wind impact from this hurricane, but the rain and flooding that will come. port vincent is on the banks of the amy river. this is an event that will last not just throughout the course of this day and the storm. it will last for several days. arlene mere lives in this house. i was just speaking with her. just like many people in the region, they know to the inch how much water it will take to get inside their homes. they said the water

it moved quickly into the gulf of mexico leaving flooded streets and downed trees behind. warm waters in the gulf are adding fuel and the latest forecasts show ida making landfall sometime tomorrow near new orleans where resints are evacuating. from louisiana to miissippi and alabama, coastal residents are preparing. hospitals in the region are already near capacity as covid cases surge and say they are not planning to evacuate patients. the storm is projected to hit exactly 16 years to the day after hurricane katrina, a category three storm that struck new orleans and the region killinat least 1,800 people. this afternoon president joe biden received a virtual briefing on hurrice ida from the head of the federal emergency management agency. >> i'm urging people of the area, pay attention and be prepared. let me say it again: pay attention and be prepared. follow the guidance. if you have to move, mask, because we're still facing covid delta variant as well. >> sreenivasan: the national hurricane center director, ken graham, joined us from miami shortly after non today for

you have outer bands impacting areas of the gulf coast. yes, it is not making landfall until tomorrow, but impacts are beginning today. it is a category one as of now. expect it to be a category two in a few hours, category three by tonight, category four by tomorrow morning. unfortunately it is likely to make landfall as a category four tomorrow afternoon, late afternoon, perhaps early evening. again, the reason it is intensifying, it is moving into much warmer water. not talking bath water, talking jacuzzi warm water. fuel for this storm. storm surge is one thing we hammer home. this is the biggest impact. 10 to 15 feet of storm surge, including grand isle. 7 to 11 feet north and east of that, including biloxi. you talk about storm surge, it is the amount of water that's there. as water pushes in, even four feet storm surge, you get in undeleg undel water topping the home. you have a two story, fine, go to the second level, if you don't, your home is now unlivable. that's why hurricane center, national weather service has been saying get

offshore oil companies in the gulf account for about 17% of u.s. production and about 5% of natural gas output brian sullivan has the latest developments and details hi, brian. >> reporter: tyler, thank you. let's talk about what we know right now and what we still don't know about 96% or 1.7 million barrels of oil production in the gulf of mexico is currently offline. louisiana is not a huge producer of oil that's texas but it is massive for refining oil. the bayou state is about 18% of total u.s. refinery and most of it, if not all of it, is currently shut down. marathon, mpc, the state's largest. exxon mobil, a huge baton rouge plant. earlier today saying, thankfully, no damage there. valero has two in the new orleans area as well as shell, pdf and phillips 66. about 13% of u.s. refining there. west to lake charles, citgo, and two smaller ones, phillips 66 and another from trans world oil another 5% that's the 18% of refining also, you probably don't care about oil but you care about gasoline prices. watch them in the coming days because the col

i spent a lot of time on the gulf coast. i know how important it is to get those ports and waterways open so we're going to focus on those three lines of effort. eric: we thank the men and women of the coast guard, doing the service, protecting our nation and saving countless lives. vice admiral steven pollin thank you for your service to our country as we stand by and wait for your help. arthel: help will be needed as millions under threat from hurricane ida, the most powerful storm to hit the gulf coast in over 150 years. live shots here from new orleans. heavy winds definitely in the area and reports across the region, heavy wind there as the latest on where ida is coming up or heading, we'll have that for you after this very short break. i always wanted to know more about my grandfather. he...was a hardworking man who came to new york from puerto rico when he was 17. with ancestry, being able to put the pieces of the puzzle together... ...it's amazing. it's honestly amazing. eric: it's now about two and-a-half hours afte

s. gulf coast. but 1st, let's have a look at hurricane nor and now it's made a brief land full in janice, go state in mexico. it's brought to really severe flooding, powerful winds, and those conditions are likely to last all up that west coast of mexico as it makes its way north, across the gulf of california. it's going to take the really flooding wayne's wizard across the northwest states of mexico and into the us later in the week. now was in move further east to the u. s. gulf coast. we are seeing i to make landfall in louisiana and it comes 16 years after katrina hit the same area. but this is a much stronger storm. we are expecting a catastrophic storm surge. and that flooding rain is going to be carried through to alabama, mississippi and into tennessee, as it makes its way to the north east. now, the governor of louisiana has said it's preparing for the worst direct hit in a 170 years. so this is going to be an incredibly powerful storm. we are going to watch that and will bring you updates

gulf coast. minutes ago the national hurricane center reported that ida is now a category 4 storm. the potentially cat strafk hurricane is forecast to slam the louisiana coast sunday possibly while we know it's a category 4 hitting the state on exactly the same date at hurricane katrina 16 years ago. the national weather service office in new orleans says storm surge and high winds could leave some locations uninhabitable for weeks or even months. both mandatory and voluntary evacuations ordered for several louisiana parishes and the national hurricane center warns of life-threatening situations. officials say if residents are planning to leave do it now. on saturday the governor expressed the dangerous and historic nature of ida's threat. >> when you talk about rain total that could be up to 15, 16 inches, and in isolated areas above 20 inches, with that kind of rain that kind of storm surge, that kind of wind, this is just a very serious storm. it will be one of the very strongest storms to hit

oil stocks in just a moment that have exposure to the gulf. but in the meantime, a fox business alert, the bulls are kicking off happy hour a little early on this friday, the markets jumping for joy popping higher after federal reserve chair jerome powell's virtual state of the economy speech, so-called jackson hole symposium, this morning. the russel really getting the nicest bump up about 3%, powell struck a very careful, but positive tone, saying that the economy has, "met the test of substantial further progress in its fight to claw its way out of the pandemic hole" but remember, i said careful tone. while powell said reduction in emergency measures could start this year, he issued a warning that in essence said, we're not going to jump the gun. >> if a central bank titles policy in response to the factor s that turn out to be temporary the main policy effect s are likely to arrive after the need has passed. the ill-time to policy move unnecessarily slows hiring and other economic activity and pushes inflation lower than desired. today, wi

knocking out over 95% of oil output in the gulf. opposition leader olaf scholz cements his position as front-runner in germany. we are just under an hour away from the start of cash equity trading in europe. another record overall first read on dovish comments from jay powell. his carefully constructed speech in wyoming at jackson hole trying to de-link the start of tapering which may happen this year from the start of the rate hike cycle. the european stoxx 50 futures again at -- a gain of 0.1%. futures are flat in germany our focus remains on -- futures gaining 0.1%. let's look at what is happening past the european open and toward the u.s.. s&p futures gaining marginally. nasdaq futures also positive, very modestly indeed. small caps really rallying. gains of more than 1%. trade around the small caps momentum on the back of those comments from jay powell. let's switch over to have a look at the gmm. the commodities space is also gaining. the focus remains not just on commentary from the fed, but the events that are unfolding on t

>> well, as you mention, the gulf is really warm right now. it's particularly five degrees above average, but some component of that is due to human-induced climate change to date, and the amount of that is dependant on the individual storm and time of year. what we have seen with recent storms going back to hurricane harvey and hurricane florence, is these increased ocean temperatures can actually increase the amount of rainfall in these storms by about 5 to 10%, and that's due to climate change. what that means is that a storm is raining about 5% more than it would have if not for climate change. of course each year is different. we will have to look back at the storm after it is kind of done, but there's growing evidence that hurricanes like this are increasing their heavy precipitation amounts, not just in the acumulative amount throughout the lifetime of the storm, but also in the hourly rainfall rates. recent storms, it ranged from 5%, and in some cases looking back at hurricane harvey from a few years ago, approaching 20% more rainfall.

gulf, it has all been shut and led to a spike in prices. another interesting thing is the hurricane missed largely the u.s. lng export plants. because of that, you are seeing the drop in output in the gulf but you are seeing strong export from the u.s., that is pulling the market two and pushing toward a tighter market for natural gas in the u.s. the good news for asia and europe, lng deliveries from the u.s. are largely unaffected by the hurricane and it looks like there will not be anymore tightening in the and international natural gas market. tom: stephen, thank you for the update on the hurricane's impact on the commodity complex in the u.s.. coming up, the candidates vying to take over from angela merkel face-off in the first televised german election debate could i'm going to break down -- debate. i'm going to break down the policy issues. this is bloomberg. ♪ ♪ in business, it's never just another day. it's the big sale, or the big presentation. the day where everything goes right. or the one where nothing does. with comcast bus

it's about to go to the central gulf and then things could possibly change. i'm still not ruling out that possibility of this storm system to go into cat 5 category. right now you're seeing sustained winds of 80 miles per hour. it is 510 miles southeast of new orleans, louisiana. so making its way to the coast very quickly, there's that northwest movement at 16 miles per hour. and that's really what's going to make the difference in the flooding rain and the storm surge. if the storm system starts to slow down you're going to see more prolonged moisture. if it speeds up, it will make the wind damage very extensive across this area. so right now the latest forecast that will be updated in the next hour has this storm system growing in intensity, wind speeds picking up to 120 miles per hour overnight tonight. so we are less than 24 hours before we start to deal with hurricane warning impacts across portions of louisiana. then by tomorrow we'll watch that potential landfall turning into a cat 4. this will be a strong storm system as it makes landfall and then th

. >>> hurricane ida has had a dramatic impact on the gulf states, which is where a fair amount of the nation's energy passes through in gasoline, oil, and natural gas. so what does that all mean for your wallet? let's ask cnbc's karen show. good morning >> reporter: frances, lindsey, good morning to you. the short answer is it's too early to tell what the impact will be on prices. but here's what we do know there's been a significant hit to supply from hurricane ida us energy firms have shut down about 95% of capacity from the gulf of mexico and that has had a huge impact on the markets about 85% of natural gas production in the gulf of mexico has been impacted. this feeds into the system if you consider 70% of the country's crude comes from this particular region, so it has quite a dramatic impact on supply but also demand. part of the equation here and don't forget this impact from the delta variant. but what we're watching closely in coming days, just how quickly refineries can get back into action this will impact gasoline and diesel prices. meantime on the markets, a muted stuff

but as ida moves into the gulf of mexico, it's going to be over the open waters of the gulf of mexico. it was situated down here in the caribbean. not looking like anything, but computer models were in really good agreement that this was really going to come together. there you see the spaghetti models. if it changes just a little bit, those will have huge impacts. it's already going to have huge impacts because look at these forecast winds. we are expecting winds in ex-sets of 130 miles per hour. we're expecting a category four, maybe just before or right at landfall. a major hurricane is anything a category three and above. it goes to category five. but we're not finished. even as we go into tuesday, still looking at gusty winds into that lower mississippi valley and then pushing into the tennessee river valley. it's going to be weaker then, but the damage is still possible, still in its wake. we could see downed trees and power lines. the storm surge is going to be the big problem in some of those southeastern and south central parishes of louisiana. it's not going to be exclusive

but we begin this morning on lo louisiana gulf coast. omar villafranca has more. >> reporter: ed, good morning. at last check, there were about 30,000 people without powe we're seeing some gusts, a little bit of rain, and we're also seeing some last-minute preparations. you see this box behind me, the hotel is getting ready to put up a giant flood wall here, the time preparations as this storm inches towards louisiana's coast right now. thousands of people weren't taking any chances. they started evacuating days before, clogging the roads and highways out of new orleans. there was a run on gasoline, people filling up their cars and also their generators. and there was a run on food, as people were trying to hunker down and get ready for what could be a rough ride here in louisiana. this storm, ed, will be one of the biggest tests for the city's levy system at katrina. it had a price tag of more than $14 billion, so we'll have to see how it holds up. but people are just getting ready for the big storm to hit the big easy. >> stay safe.we

because of the importance regional role it plays in the gulf cooperation council. the gcc mon long history is not well known outside the gulf region before oil was discovered in 1962 fishing and prototyping words, main sources of income. in this film we go back over the last 500 years of all money, history of tribes, boars, rebellion and colonization, and explore how why still plays an important regional role today. oh, you want to help save the world. sneeze into your elbow in . ah, that's gonna stand is now at a dangerous turning point. the alarm and the united nation, there's a ton of bon, captures, the 1st provincial capital in afghanistan. ah, i haven't seen this. is it alive from the also coming up. wildfires, leaf parts of greece in ruins. for st. thousands to abandon their homes.

let me 1st, i mean, let me 1st clarify a situation with iran and friends of the gulf. the gulf cooperation council has very many times has expressed interest in making out the picture with the iran and discussing different styles concerning the regional meddling that takes place. not only in iraq and yemen and other non syria, this has been on the table and as one and other adult space. and you know, there hasn't been much change in that behavior. and i will not speak about how the saudis have changed from a position of combat thing to now reconciliation. and maybe they em, and war has a role to play for sure. but there has been a constant theme of trying to lay off all the cards on the table and to try to come up with a framework that speaks to countries as equivalent partners and not to try to impose from one side to the other. i think that's been the impression that the gcc has been trying to push forward and the stuff that i didn't want to bring you. i'll come back to you in a 2nd, but because i can see myself is shaking his head this. so let me ask you to respond

so here's why it's intensive, find these warm gulf of mexico waters. and as we see toward the northern golf, the temperature is about $32.00 degrees. so i did going to pass rate through there . and that's going to allow for the rabbit intensification. i to this storm add fuel to the fire, and all of this is happening about the 16th anniversary of katrina, which also went through the gulf of mexico, became a category 5 hurricane. but when it made landfall over, we use the anna. it was a category 3 also keeping tabs on what is now hurricane north, spilling a lot of rain toward the pacific coast of mexico. and this is going to move up through the gulf of california. going to steer through there. so we're going to watch to see if this does have an impact on the popular tourist hotspot of cobbler san lucas. so to hurricanes, but all eyes on ida, while u. s. president joe biden says he is issued an emergency order that will see food, water, and other supplies sent to louisiana, and biden is also a local lead is preparing to face hurricane either to approach
