unprecedented spike in the number of fires to reason as this report from rio de janiero. facing criticism both at home and abroad brazilian president jalal matter went on national television friday night to answer critics who say he's not only letting the amazon burn but encouraging the ranchers and luxuries who environmental groups accused of setting the fires. to forge images we're going to act firmly in order to contain and control the fires in the amazon it is important in the other hand to act with serenity and not to spread out founded messages in brazil and abroad as they do not help solve the problem they only learned themselves to political propaganda. war scenario said the military will assist in fighting both the fires and other illegal activities that are destroying the environment but on the streets of rio de janeiro people say it's walls one under himself who deserves the blame he's being acting like

a child since he started. the government so i don't think so i think he's acting really. south really selfish ways over 70000 fires are currently destroying the world's largest tropical rain forest. the number is up 80 percent compared to 2018 people here environmental groups among others are blaming jade was on i don't for the amazons plight thing. no girls and farmers to clear the land the international pressure is forcing the government to think it's tragic that he's now announcing extraordinary measures in order to fight the fires affecting the amazon rain forest images of the rain forest dying have triggered a global outcry the european union has expressed concern over the situation in brazil friends has threatened to pull out of the recently signed free trade

agreement with the merkel through trade but includes brazil that the best tools that we have is you marcus or agreement which for the 1st time uncursed brazil into the paris agreement and it's actually the 1st trade agreement which contains binding commitments to effect a fully implement the paris accord as well as other multilateral environmental agreements it's a way of working with brazil and others to push and encourage each other to live up to the commitments we have made together in the paris agreement and work together on environmental issues and i think that there are also instruments with regards to the enforcement of these commitments are even the world's tornado accuses the e.u. of colonialism in a matter of days he has gone from blaming environmentalist for the fires to announcing measures to fight them since taking office nato has said he wants to open up the amazon for business for many the ongoing devastation is the outcome of

his words that he said will defeat at rio de janeiro brazil well done no one has been tracking the fires and one of the worst affected states in brazil he has the latest now for us from portal velo. but there are still some fires raging we've been out and about in the state of wrongdoing here which has been one of the the worst hit regions of brazil we've seen a lot of devastation many of the fires have now been put out certainly in the region around where i am the capital of the state. but as i say a lot of black scorched earth everywhere we drove and we went about 20250 kilometers out of the town to go the smoke in the distance but work here was being done to try to contain the fires certainly in this region no protest against the government or president job also now or in this part of the world this is been an area which supported him overwhelmingly in the campaign for the campaign of elected

him as president late last year these are people who have come to this region to develop. the forests to do cattle rearing it's very much a pioneer sort of regions where peoples agree very much with what president jabal sonando has been saying and they support him in return so as i say we would be seeing demonstrations here but this situation is resonating throughout brazil they are very well aware of the international pressure that is now mounting about what is going on here the smoke some of the suits from the region has traveled thousands of kilometers has affected places like south power which is thousands of kilometers away from this region so people are aware of what is going on but job also not a very much playing to 2 audiences knowing about the international condemnation the condemnation from cities around brazil but also well aware of the fact that he must play to the audience to the supporters he has in this part of brazil. hundreds of

people have taken to the streets across latin america to protest against the fires in the amazon protesters gathered at the brazilian embassy in berlin as ira's denouncing president wilson our own calling for greater action in fighting the fires sweeping parts of the rain forest others rallied in colombia's capital bogota and in lima in peru well it's not just brazil struggling to cope with the wildfires more than 7000 square kilometers have been destroyed by flames in neighboring bolivia the government there has now hired a specially equipped boeing 747 after failing to extinguish the flames the aircraft can carry 150000 pieces of water or fire retardant the blazes have been burning in the eastern province of santa cruz for the past month. plenty more still to come for you here now to syria including a strike on a weapon steptoe in iraq is being attributed to israel it would be the 1st known israeli strike there since 1981. and the syrian government ramps up its offensive retaking towns lost to rebels early in the war.

we. give to the people will be attending the workshop we listen i'm supposed to explain apologize for someone who is also terrorizing we meet with global news makers about the stories that matter. to be hard to find. crisscrossing the country. on.

life. and i think that still the free medical care. to go through you get the snow out. is lifeline express a last chance for a lot of people. it is a one and only chance for them. in converted train carriages surgeons perform free operations that are transformed patients long walk back to a little. now. i know i'm sorry. 18th goes on board even to the drunk.

india trains are a symbol of life. but there's one train like no other. the lifeline express. this train is a unique one. it is a very different concept. a team of surgeons and specialists cooks and claimants are about to embark on a 6 hour journey bringing health care to those who can't afford it. it all happens on board these fully functioning hospitals on we. live minutes because i think. the brain. has been.

here almost 900000000 people live in room villages where for most access to medical care is impossible. today much needed doctors heading to la tour in the east in maharashtra. go. there. you know what they are going on. here in la tour this is social media.

professional. commentary got over it was really popular will. as a set of. life most of villages have never visited a doctor because they're too far away and too expensive. but what. over the next few days the lifeline express team will perform as many operations as they can before the train is scheduled to depart the. word has spread fast. families trickle in from surrounding towns and villages

all hoping for a medical miracle. don't multiply like. summertime but to be a part of iraq now you have. done more than one year and. tell me what lies and because of how you feeling today you know based. on that i need to . know that. the doctors are trying to identify omens they can be fixed on board the train. no one wants to miss not only true of doctors the obvious screening you know a lot of patients screening the patients like nadia examining the. operation theatre list will be in the operating them in next one or 2 days. it's pretty much organized chaos here today some families to travel up to 4 hours

to me by villages today. all of them a desperate for just a few minutes but they stopped. number the selling of another. one i want to load but the. doctor isn't also paid exogenous from mumbai he's examining 2 brothers with cerebral palsy to see if he can help. one another know about that and. i. think just because you didn't come out of validation. soldiers or. get. along. very well. here. if you don't even know all

that we're off by one of the formative people the muscles of everybody would rather just start be forming don't mourn those but. it's good news for young and. both are approved for surgery. for him as i'm here now is moved out loud enough for me to be there so very like your number flashed or not not enough up on the reason he was typing the last time our lemon started up october not the fact that i like almost ominous allies so. some of the cost of the care had made a better i like. the doctor to treat a variety of conditions from cancer screenings to cataracts to the old into the young like 4 month old baby. who has a cleft lip. his mom is worried because he can't

breastfeed properly. suggest the risk and what they need at the back of level afford to do their make and there is distorted talent that. but then i would have just from. what they just put out i live in and the work that. my them with us is and that's where. he'll leave plastic surgery to join the muscles in his sleep. i don't want to talk about people may never know what i wanted i told him about what a little bit about his low weight makes operating the risk is he now nobody you know is what. the plastics team is assessing whether he's feet the surgery they want us to insist on going up an awful lot but there wasn't only one of them for the us to find out that it was going to be our 3rd someone who points out the complete with

the rest of the basically if you're going to. look. good but i would have it up and go all. the doctors agree to go ahead. as a screening to wrap up more than 40 patients are selected for surgery. back in hollywood it's an anxious wait for the family of the 2 young brothers who pulls the. last of a. look. at the thought that. looking after 7 year old virat and so year old aditya is

a full time job. and a card from one of those. he has to live with. one of the rhetoric i'm on and i could have moved so. long as i want to know. ahead of. time again don't they are not aware that there. is going to want to be more of a puzzle and that in america. i will not. be done in the green i granted i you will get. heart of your beloved. does and only $2.00 a day. he's borrowed almost $3000.00 seeking treatment for his son and it will take years to pay back. don't get older

the plane need. done a lot later than the time was out of the. now i got out of the body i'm going to. i was on. and off it just going. ready back and the last line explained it's as busy as any bricks and mortar hospital. got a year. even if i. rush the trains head shift has lived and worked on board for a staggering 26. for years. to look at the general idea. it didn't make so by your doctor but i'm gonna go by that little tightening of the needle the left but i learned

a lot of but the feeling that. basically cooperating are you not. coming out of the know your comfort zone of operating and . hospitals are telling anyone because it is our situation you are are not many things but. we are some of the people. ringback can't imagine how people here are feeling tired or anxious and in a minute they can walk through that door and hop on an operating table for surgery change their mind.
