Massive but weakened Irma
lashes Florida with wind, rain
TAMPA, Florida — A massive but weakened Hurricane Irma
zeroed in on the Tampa Bay region early Monday after hammer-
ing much of Florida with roof-ripping winds, gushing floodwa-
ters and widespread power outages.
Irma continued its slog north along Florida’s western coast
having blazed a path of unknown destruction. With communi-
cation cut to some of the Florida Keys, where Irma made land-
fall Sunday, and rough conditions persisting across the peninsula,
many held their breath for what daylight might reveal.
The monster storm measured more than 400 miles wide, and
its winds of up to 130 mph sucked the ocean water out of bays,
swamped much of downtown Miami and toppled at least three
constructions cranes — two over downtown Miami and one in
Fort Lauderdale.
More than 3.3 million homes and businesses across the state
lost power, and utility officials said it will take weeks to restore
electricity to everyone.
Irma’s center was about 25 miles northeast of the heavily
populated Tampa-St. Petersburg area early Monday, though in a
much-weakened state. While it arrived in Florida a Category 4
hurricane, it was down to a Category 1 with winds of 85 mph.
More aid, evacuations in
Caribbean battered by Irma
HAVANA — With ports mended and weather cleared, offi-
cials sent in more aid and arranged stepped-up evacuations Mon-
day in remote Caribbean islands devastated and cut off by Hur-
ricane Irma.
Many in the chain of Leeward Islands known as the play-
ground for the rich and famous have criticized governments for
failing to respond quickly to the disaster caused by the Category
5 hurricane.
The storm stripped the islands’ formerly lush green hills to a
brown stubble and flattened buildings, then swamped much of
Cuba’s coastline, including Havana’s iconic Malecon seawall.
At least 24 people died in Anguilla, Barbuda, the French-
Dutch island of St. Martin, St. Barts, the U.S. Virgin Islands and
the British Virgin Islands. Among them was a 2-year-old boy
swept away when his home filled with water.
Residents have reported shortages of food, water and medi-
cine, and many have complained of looting.
US commemorates 9/11;
many expected at ground zero
NEW YORK — While the U.S. contends with the destruc-
tion caused by two ferocious hurricanes in three weeks, Ameri-
cans also are marking the anniversary of one of the nation’s most
scarring days.
Thousands of 9/11 victims’ relatives, survivors, rescuers and
others are expected to gather Monday at the World Trade Center
to remember the deadliest terror attack on American soil.
Sixteen years later, the quiet rhythms of commemoration
have become customs: a recitation of all the names of the dead,
moments of silence and tolling bells, and two powerful light
beams that shine through the night.
Yet each ceremony also takes on personal touches. Over the
years, some name-readers have added messages ranging from the
universal (“the things we think separate us really don’t — we’re
all part of this one Earth”) to the personal (“I love you and miss
you. Go Packers!”).
“Thank you, New York, for continuing to honor the victims of
9/11 and the privilege of reading their names,” Judy Bram Mur-
phy added last year. She lost her husband, Brian Joseph Murphy.

in six days. Diplomats said China’s U.N. ambassador, Liu Jieyi,
who was on a Security Council trip to Ethiopia, flew back to New
York on Thursday to take part in negotiations.
North Korea’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement early Mon-
day saying it was watching the United States’ moves closely and
warned that it was “ready and willing” to respond with measures
of its own. It said the U.S. would pay a heavy price if the sanc-
tions proposed by Washington are adopted.
Bangladesh hospital struggles
to cope with Rohingya wounds
COX’S BAZAR, Bangladesh — The 7-year-old Rohingya
boy lies on a tattered mattress on the floor of a crowded govern-
ment hospital in Bangladesh, bandages covering the spot where
a bullet fired by Myanmar troops tore through his chest a week
earlier.
He is one of 80 Rohingya patients — most males with gun-
shot wounds — being treated at this overwhelmed medical facil-
ity in a coastal city now deluged with nearly 300,000 Rohingya
Muslims who have fled a two-week surge in violence and a life-
time of persecution in neighboring Myanmar’s Rakhine state. He
is the youngest of six patients with gunshot wounds interviewed
by The Associated Press on two recent visits.
“The soldiers just started firing. I saw my son on the ground,”
the boy’s father Abu Tahir said.
In the chaos that followed they lost track of the rest of their
family before Tahir carried his son across the border to safety.
Now he watches as his child’s ribs rise and fall in the hospital,
praying that he recovers.
Sadar Hospital is the main medical facility for the Cox’s
Bazaar area. At the best of times it’s stretched to the limit, with
20 doctors responsible for the treatment of hundreds of patients.
Now it’s at nearly twice its capacity and for the first time its doc-
tors are dealing with injuries like gunshot wounds, blunt force
trauma and stab wounds on a massive scale as Rohingya refu-
gees pour in.
tion-getting $999 price tag, twice what the original iPhone cost.
It would set a new price threshold for any smartphone intended to
appeal to a mass market.
Various leaks have indicated the new phone will feature a
sharper display, a so-called OLED screen that will extend from
edge to edge of the device, thus eliminating the exterior gap, or
“bezel,” that currently surrounds most phone screens.
TV correspondents face danger
they told others to avoid
NEW YORK — It’s a paradox of hurricane coverage: people
on television spend days warning the public to get out of harm’s
way, then station their correspondents squarely in the middle of
howling wind and rain and hope they don’t get hurt.
That was the case throughout Sunday’s gripping coverage of
Hurricane Irma’s assault on Florida. Journalists were the shock
troops allowing the nation to experience the storm from the com-
fort of their living rooms. Networks all brought their top teams
in on the weekend for special coverage, nonstop on the news
channels.
Yet when a huge tree limb crashed to the ground behind
NBC’s Gabe Gutierrez, forcing him to scurry away during a live
shot, it illustrated the danger many journalists faced. Network
executives were one flying projectile away from a tragedy that
would have them facing hard questions about whether they were
placing a quest for exciting TV and ratings above common sense
and public safety.
Several journalists stationed outside sought the relative secu-
rity of building balconies that blocked some of the wind or, like
NBC’s Kerry Sanders, a concrete parking garage. Yet many felt
they couldn’t truly convey the storm’s power without showing
themselves getting buffeted by the elements.
The rain “does seem like it’s getting shot through a fire hose at
you,” said CNN’s Chris Cuomo, assigned to Naples, Florida, as
the intense eye wall passed over him.
US calls for Monday vote on new Apple may test the bounds of
North Korea sanctions
iPhone love with a $1,000 model
UNITED NATIONS — The United States called for a vote
Monday on new U.N. sanctions against North Korea, though
exactly what measures would be in the resolution remained a
mystery.
Security Council diplomats, who weren’t authorized to speak
publicly because talks have been private, said the U.S. and China
were still negotiating the text late Sunday.
Previous U.N. sanctions resolutions have been negotiated
between the United States and China — North Korea’s main trad-
ing partner and ally — and have taken weeks, and in some cases
months, to finalize.
But the Trump administration adopted a totally new approach
with this resolution, presenting its draft to China and all other
Security Council members last Tuesday and demanding a vote
SAN FRANCISCO — Apple is expected to sell its fanciest
iPhone yet for $1,000, crossing into a new financial frontier that
will test how much consumers are willing to pay for a device
that’s become an indispensable part of modern life.
The unveiling of a dramatically redesigned iPhone will likely
be the marquee moment Tuesday when Apple hosts its first
product event at its new spaceship-like headquarters in Cuper-
tino, California. True to its secretive ways, Apple won’t confirm
that it will be introducing a new iPhone, though a financial fore-
cast issued last month telegraphed something significant is in the
pipeline.
In addition to several new features, a souped-up “anniversary”
iPhone — coming a decade after Apple’s late co-founder Steve
Jobs unveiled the first version — could also debut at an atten-
