we're seeing is crafte contrasty vividly, where the authorities are following political orders to come down on these people and come done very heavily. i have to say that also contrasts with a number of ordinary huh garn hungryians. it is not institutionalized humanitarian help, it is an absolute mess. there is no real coordination. and what we've seen in the past 12 hours here is the police really just in charge, penning people in and then suddenly changing their minds and letting everyone come here and now we find ourselves in this situation

to 50,000, this has caused concerns among the popular mobilization and the government. >> a new consignment of weapons has arrived and local officials allied to the iraqi government are making clear that these men will eventually become part of a state military apparatus. some shia militia leaders say this is tantamount to create a spratz army oseparate army on sn lines. >> we are working for the government to be formal institution he, they will be subjected to all military regulations. >> reporter: but on the ground the government and allied forces have made little progress. there are almost daily casualties as they try to towards the cities of ramadi and fallujah. i.s.i.l. has strengthened fortifications by planting road side bombs.

those already in europe. police have fired water cannon, and tear gas, for those protesting in the dairy industry. leaders have agreed to release $560 million in aid to help the farmers. all of this stream of refugees, constant dream to the greek islands, confrontations between the refugees and authorities. many of the islands have limited resources they say understandably that they are pretty close to the breaking point. hoda abdel hamid is on the greek island lesbos where tensions are particularly high. >> reporter: it is the same daily chaos at the port. thousands of refugees trying desperately to register. without it they cannot leave the island. the process is extremely slow. the wait is long. the sun is baking. and emotions boil over. some collapse to the ground. nearly losing consciousness.

authorities appear unable to take control. there are not enough resources to speed up the process. and refugees left by and large to their own devices, stranded sometimes for weeks. and growing more vulnerable by the day, desperately trying to find answers. isit's just like this all the time. they don't know where to go, what to do, how long this will last, they ask us to give them information and we don't know as much as they don't know. okay. others come up to us begging to find a solution. >> it is not solution. >> reporter: afghan nationals claim they are made to wait even longer. they have run out of money. >> we talk to the responsibles, they ignore us.

>> reporter: it's especially hard for parents. this syrian kurd who escaped kobani is worried about his children. >> what should we do? we left to save our children from war. i don't have food or milk for them. what's the solution? >> the refugees can't check into a hotel even if they had the cash so many set up shop wherever they can. in the port or any sidewalk around town. lately syrian families were taken to this transit camp. here to, it is congested, little running water and sanitation. >> in syria we were hit by barrel bombs. here we feel we are drying every day. we have sick children, how long is this going to last, we escaped war, this is worse, why are they doing this to us? >> reporter: the frustration builds online the street but no

matter how loud they shout the aanguish is far from over. hoda abdel hamid, al jazeera. secretary of state andrew mitchell on the phone with us. mr. mitchell we have seen the people who have had to leave they say syria and other place of conflict. we saw them there trying to get on in europe. is there a way of making the people who remain in syria for example feel like they are safe that they don't have to seek refuge? >> well, britain has been a staunch supporter of those caught up in the syrian catastrophe. and indeed the british government has announced today an increase in the funding of humanitarian support. but there are many of us who believe that while treating the symptoms of all of this, we're not properly addressing the causes. and the idea that i'm very keen

to support is the idea of an international enclave, a place where people can go within syria under unite united nations ausps from troops of the region given air cover and air support as well. so the idea of having safe havens inside syria i think would provide so far what has not been available for syrians displaced. half the entire population there is now displaced or indeed dead. and the international community must take far greater action to help address the causes of this. >> sure. >> and not respond to the symptoms. >> how do you stop a safe haven becoming another srebrenica? >> you do so by trying to arrange for a permissive

environment. it doesn't seem to me that any of the main protagonists would want to provide humanitarian support for those caught up in the conflict. and it ought to be possible to persuade those who have got some influence over the protagonists in syria to support it. >> i have to butt in here, that was the idea of srebrenica, a safe haven. if you have got people there for humanitarian targets, whether they be young men or men of any kind of fighting age or simply supporters of the opposition, very different isn't it? >> i believe lessons have been learned since srebrenica. we need to take action. we can no longer go on ringing our hands about the causes of all of this and not trying to intervene. the international community needs to bend every conceivable

sin you a t yousinew . it needs to be whatever influence over the group not enough is being done by the international community. there is a very great danger that we will be left just as we were after rwanda, nearly 20 years ago, feeling the guilt and the shame that the international community did not take action earlier. >> what about the fact that david cameron is using money from the overseas aid budget, you were international aid minister at one point, secretary of state, that would have been your bailiwick. taking money from one area to use it in another. that means some that would be getting it will not be getting it is that right?

>> what he's doing, the way britain's aid and development budget is spent, those resumes are set down by the assistance committee and they make clear in the first year of refugees being rehomed it's legitimate to use that funding to assist with those costs. so what has been announced in the new use of the development budget is absolutely within the rules and indeed when i was development secretary i made available a sum of several millions from the home office for exactly that. you're faint. >> i wonder if you feel it is within the spirit of the people to help the country? >> absolutely. when i was secretary we played a grant to the home office for precisely this purpose. it is squarely within the aims of the development budget, it's in brit april's budget and in keeping of the international rules governing aid spending.

>> live, former minister of international development good to talk to you. >> thank you very much. >> a second man has confessed said to be involved in last month bangkok's bombing. he has admitted to charges police say of charges of possession of explosives. two men are known nationalities. thai capital killed 20 people. chad's form he president hissene habre had to be dragged into court. 72-year-old was manhandled into court after refusing to attend. crimes against humanity, charges he says are politically motivated. al jazeera's nicholas hak has spoken to some of his alleged

it was suddenly adjourned on the second day. habre was escorted out of the tribunal calling it a masquerade. he refused to recognize the court or the lawyers appointed to him. habre's supporters and his wife believe he is not getting a fair trial. >> translator: when there is so political pressure to convict hissene habre, there is no justice. >> 40,000 people died and 200,000 were tortured before he fled to senegal where he has lived in quiet exile for the last 25 years. this is the first time an african is being tried by africans for crimes committed in africa. an opportunity to settle a precedent by making universal justice accessible to all. by giving a voice to the

voiceless this trial may bring an end to crimes committed on the continent that too often remain unpunished. at a media conference before the trial, say they speak for dead and those alive but who are too scared to revisit the past, haunted by unspeakable acts. they want their pain and loss recognized. as crimes against humanity. so that perhaps others whether in chad or anywhere else might muster the courage to speak out and seek justice. nicholas hak some al jazeera, dacca. >> separated by the korean war of the 1950s. representatives from the red cross from both countries met in the border village of pan moon jam, negotiators will try to arrange how many people if any will be allowed to meet their

relatives. >> translator: the state did not sever sacred family ties. i hope that the south korean red cross tells the north korean red cross about my family. a french spy has apologized for planting bombs that sank a greenpeace ship and killed a photographer. the rainbow warrior was in new w zealand. while the spy jean lu luc kista. >> express my apologize t apoloe

family of fernando. express my apologies to the members of the ship. >> more accurate impression of how people are aging more accurate that is than their data of birth. look inside they say and you'll look at how old somebody really is. they believe that doctors will be able to use this perhaps to predict the onset of dementia and allow people to decide whether to screen themselves for cancer and other diseases earl yes than they would have done. it is more practical than other ones and can be carried out with a simple prick of the end of the finger. all right let's talk to james timmons lead director of the project. what is the most important you

found out in this jamie? >> the most striking was when the group of 70-year-old men all born within months of each other, their biological age was dramatically different. an order of magnitude of four fold. there was a real disassociation of molecular signature if you like and what was said in their passports. >> two were 70, one could be 50 and the other could be nearly 80. >> 80, 85, yes. >> therefore likely to die and have associated problems with dementia et cetera. >> exactly. we saw greater decline in reasonnal function and early death when you have a larger score that's correct. >> how would you like to use this? >> i think the key things could be finding people at risk. it is not a diagnostic of alzheimer's, you'll never have a

single diagnosic of alzheimer's. >> does it tell you about your genes or the the life you live? >> we've noticed the signature is not related to type 2 diabetes. lifestyle, not a strong relationship there but again that's somewhat related to your lifestyle, smoking and a variety of other behaviors. >> good to know in some ways but not so good in others. if you told me i mean i'm what, 27, 28, if you told me i'm going to die before i was 40 it would be a bit of a shock. >> it would be. but this is really going to be applied to people in the middle ages and on wards and might even schedule when you get a checkup. catch for example age related illness sooner.

>> i read, that when you find out you're going to die sooner than you want, it is a good idea to splash the cash. >> or not save as much for retirement, you might live your life in a slightly different style. >> do you think we're ever going to get to a point where you'll be able to say when somebody's born, what age they'll possibly live to? >> i think actually using basic factors already, where we have kind of a rough estimate, if we add in the biological aging signature then we can get pretty close. but that's really almost like a side show to the point in a way. i think the point is really, preventing some of the most causally related diseases. such as dementia. >> so you've got all of these 70-year-olds together, now you're trying with a younger batch i think pretty soon. >> yes.

>> you're in that batch. >> i am indeed. >> come the mid-winter you'll notice probably how much longer you've got. is it going to be a good christmas? >> well, you know given my accent you probably guess i come from glasgow, i'm not hopeful for a terribly big score. the key thing at my age you're really not going to have an accurate prediction of death. what you are doing is hopefully going for those hospital checkups and hopefully live a lot longer. >> fascinating study, hopefully a good christmas. thank you jamie. a warning that ghana's forests are disappearing, extremely fast. and we have the sport, deciding turning his back on running for another year.

>> according to most research there will be no rain forest left if that continues. those at the world forestry council in durbin are trying to stop this. 30% of the world's land surface, 4 billion plus hectares of trees, almost a heck star of forest is cut down every single second. nearly 18 million hectares of forest were lost in an area half

the size of portugal, the most forest cover in 2014, number 6, democratic republic of congo, one of eight african nations on the list of worst defenders, the main drivers they say of all of this hatching, well, let's go to -- happening well, let's go to ghana, most of its forest cover will be lost in a quarter century. >> most of this wood is illegally acquired. this is a sawmill on technological of one of ghana's forest reserves, we have to film secretly, because these workers don't want their work observed. armed groups who go into the forest to cut down trees illegally. according to the forest commission, 80% of the timber

cut down is illegal. >> to take wood from wherever it is to anyplace the police can catch you, anybody people want to get out of the business. but it is very, very difficult to get out. >> we trek deep into the forest with rangers to see the damage for ourselves. the illegal operators are prepared to go wherever it takes to chop down trees. this is known as a high-value tree. it's more than 200 years old and a tree of this size will sell for around $375 u.s. in another forest reserve in the western region, farmers are even burning the forest in order to plant cocoa tree shoots. this entire area used to be forest. officials admit that progress on

tackling these issues has been slow. >> oso what we are trying to do is more of carrots and sticks. by way of motivating them or giving them incentives, or other alternative livelihoods, and also enforcement by using some other team like rapid response teams.but thteams. but the big part of the solution is looking at it from government level, and area coordination. >> reporter: the commission is also replanting on degraded land. this is a teak tree plantation. environmentaenvironmentalists ss one of the best areas in the world but the commission is lacking. >> officials are not given the freehand to manage the districts in the regions and so much political interference. because if you delve deeper you realize that all the illegal

farms our politicians are behind. we must be very bold to talk about it. >> it's a complex situation and environmentalists feel the forests will disappear in a matter of decades unless the government takes more serious action. ana buatanng al jazeera, for ghana. >> hi there david, prince ali hussein has said he will stand for the foif fifa presidency, br should be held for any issues within fifa. within fifa the subject of two criminal investigations. >> right now, we need a candidate with who is forward-thinking who brings a new idea who is not tainted by
