prom turkey's defense minister says a joint control center with the united states is now operational in northern syria as part of a plan to create a so-called safe so the 2 sides held months of talks over the size of the zone and who would control it from a smith that's more from an talkie on the turkey syria border. the turkish and u.s. military have been discussing for a long time now what exactly a safe zone along the turkish syria border would comprise of how deep into syrian territory would go whether it would be joint patrols with the u.s. and turkish troops or just the u.s. troops patrolling on their own the turkish defense minister believes that at least the opening of this joint operations center is a significant step on the way to getting the safe zone up and running one of the. most this is a joint operation center has been established fear they continue the work the 1st

drone flew on august 14th and now as of 4 30 pm we have a joint helicopter the helicopter including both americans and members of our armed forces is now in the year the 1st flight has started syrian regime forces are now pushing against the last of the major rebel held area in northern syria that's been the province and as they do that more internally displaced syrians fleeing the fighting yet again and they're heading north towards the turkey syria border as many as half a 1000000 people heading that way according to the u.n. turkey is not going to let those refugees in and it doesn't want them amassing along the border that is why turkey wants to get this safe zone up and running as quickly as possible the challenge for the turks is how big is the us a safe zone going to be they want it 30 kilometers into syria the americans want a much narrower save zone and that the turks wanted

a lot deeper because they also want to push back the syrian kurdish fighters they consider them allied to terrorist. turkish kurdish groups in turkey the americans though working with the syrian kurds and they don't want them pushed as far back. still ahead on al-jazeera there live in hong kong where protesters are out on the streets for it all weekend calling for political change it's not all fun and games to find out about the high prize money and the high pressure in sports. hello again welcome back to international weather forecasts well here across the philippines just in the last 24 hours we have still seen quite a bit of rain and that's all due to tropical storm by lou as it makes its way away from this area still the feeder bands were pushing over the region 191 millimeters

over an extradition bill which was later shelved the demands of now widened to include political reforms wayne hey joins us live from hong kong so wayne let's talk about the police tactics in particular what are they doing now to try to keep the protests contained and under control. well rachelle it seemed over the past week to 10 days that the police had adopted a different approach a different tactic and they were much more standoffish with the protest is allowing some of this action to take place with very little police presence inside that seemed to come to an end on saturday when we saw some of those clashes last in probably over a couple of hours a gas being fired by the police the protest is a responding throwing items at the police so it seems as if the patient certainly ran out what we're seeing today is a macho the leaders of the protest movement requested permission from the police to

stage a short march over a does ignited roots and that's what has been unfolding over the past couple of hours huge numbers of people marching through this part of hong kong to a pocked but what has happened more recently in the last few minutes we've seen groups of protesters breaking away from that march to set up barricades you may see behind me some barricades have now being set up for walking roads there were protests does he have they heard that the police were coming in so they have now retreated further down here and the police have issued a warning now to the protest is in this area that they will come in to disperse this rally now so really you seeing 2 different approaches from the protest is peaceful rallies attended by tens of thousands of people in these smaller breakaway groups so the chief executive of hong kong carrie lam she's got em a way that she says she's trying to talk to protesters tell us how this is really going. well i think it's unlikely to

have any impact whatsoever in the short term on this protest movement certainly there are no protest is or leaders involved in the negotiations that have now started all the dialogue that kerry land the chief executive has initiated it began on saturday with the 1st round of what she has called brainstorming. 19 influential people in hong kong including some politicians to go to government house to begin that process there are media reports on sunday that have emerged following that meeting on saturday that say that more than half of those people in that meeting. to accept some of the protesters demands including a withdrawal immediately all of the controversial extradition bill which is how this whole thing started in the 1st place and also agreed to hold an independent inquiry into the conduct of the police which is what the protesters want now according to those media reports sources quoted in those reports sources that were

at the meeting they say that she said the time for any sort of inquiry is not now while there is violence on the street she is saying that there needs to be a much more peaceful situation in hong kong before any sort of inquiry can begin so again there were no protesters at that meeting no represent the dissolve them so it seems that any sort of out resolution to this problem through negotiations is a very long way off ok land a life for us in hong kong thank you. at least 11 people have been killed in fighting in yemen between back separatist forces and government troops both sides sent reinforcements to shop a province in southern yemen after fighting broke out in the city of a top tens of thousands of people have been killed in yemen's civil war meanwhile in the capital protesters gathered in front of sourness airport demanding an end to the siege there the saudi led military coalition has been enforcing a strict embargo on the area but the want the u.n.

the al-jazeera documentary archive to bring you some of the best and most influential programs of the past decade as well as news of what's happened since well sometimes the story behind the making of the program. half a century ago as war raged in vietnam and isolated community in the jungles of northern laos was recruited by the cia to help fight the viet cong over 50000 of the hmong tribe became part of america's secret army disrupting communist supply lines along the trail thousands of monk died in the war but their problems didn't end when the americans pulled out fearing a crackdown by laos communist government forces many fled the country but some 7000 stayed behind then continued to fight what they called red laos from deep within the jungle where they lived in hiding in 2008 ounces there is tony burke they tracked uphill for more than 2 days through dense forests in search of the hmong who were left behind he found

a settlement of fewer than 200 people most of them born after the war but still living as their ancestors had he was the 1st outsider they had seen in 32 years from 2008 this is the last tribe secret army of the cia. an arduous trek through thick jungle a journey to find a lost try. people been hidden from the outside world for more than 30 years too scared to the the jungle but too afraid to stay people on their knees. they are among part of america's secret army in the vietnam war. now they say they're being hunted by the laos army picked up by a one time is running out for the whole month of northern. the dead of night and a rendezvous on the fringe of asia's dances jungles. these are my guys they are

home on a rugged tough people used to harsh conditions. for the people living in fear. when we talk we wished for. wolf we try not to create noise and we try to avoid the danger. the danger is posed by the laos army they are everywhere the hmong told me and ambushes are common it's about midnight now we've been walking for route 3 hours up this huge hill hallways are put up with his tortures route for somebody like me but for these young hmong fighters it's a normal walk in the jungle and the sort of care they have to take to avoid the laos army. a few welcome hours of sleep beneath the dense canopy awaking to the chill of an early morning in the highland jungle of northern laos. breakfast was a kind of yam a staple diet for the hmong but something i would come to dread in the coming days . after 2 and

a half days of tough trekking i reached the outskirts of the village i walked on and a quite unbelievable welcome. home and he's there to urge. any from i'll do that yeah and. i'm fine thank you. i was the 1st outside that anyone had seen for 32 years to some it was the 1st time ever. i didn't know it then but my visit had taken on a significance i wasn't prepared for. they called me father and gave me a deep respect for someone who could somehow end their plight to give them a new beginning and for the 1st time in a long while in the hope of her. life. i am sitting there like you're. still mellowed out a little harder. only if they want.

to. know what are our yeah yeah. yeah. yeah this is just the most incredible welcome about. france welcome to introduce me to the age of. people crying and i haven't really progressed since 1975 a living the same way that their ancestors did living in the forest in the jungle and it seems like they're abandoned by everybody don't know that. it's hard to appreciate their sense of isolation the reality of what those last years mean. you said it did you know. that.

you don't have to be in this village very long to understand why there is such a sense of desperation children are visibly malnourished they're dressed in old clothes barefoot or just with flip flops no medicine no education and little food almost a bigger fight than with government forces before coming here nothing actually can prepare you for what you actually see and that's the really depressing scene people living on the lowest level of human ladder and you look around you can't see much prospect for. improvement the emotion of these people they really come to the end of the line they believe that if nobody helps them it is really the end of the line and the end of them on something like 580000 people among have died in the last 32 years they claim. and he doesn't get a solution his problem they reckon they're all among her going to die here in the

jungle. the area is close to the vietnam border and where the vietnamese communists had their supply lines it was called the whole cimon trail. 60000 hmong were recruited by america as part of the cia's so-called secret army to fight the cons but the fight against the laos communist forces has continued long after the vietnam war. today 155 people live in the community most of them born after 1975. then the problem. is the leader of the 7000 hmong he say's remain in the jungle 32 years ago he was chief of 18000 most he claims have been killed. people increasingly look to him for a solution to their plight the leader looks to me a lot of work now. with filmy on long. 50. who are color or not too new in your good

to know what they thought up all are all moral all shia and all you might like a bottle. o. . with the rope or a little here and all got the heart of it all would be worth arcola o'clock o'clock local morrow hear it all pay go or court off along all the hmong reveal him as animus they worship the land the nature incense is used as a means to communicate with their gods. on your heart you know i go right on up here alone. wait out gonna get the man i thought. all along that your. being a savior is a big responsibility of the people kneeling before me was so desperate they would

snatch any glimmer of hope even if it was me. quite a long war hole or better withdraw no more dar no if you drop a new car down to the top it up a hollow hoop and or hand only not. the moon. well it's a really strange situation moment when i was interviewing the leader and then suddenly he declared that i was formally being taken hostage until the united nations could resolve their problem here i did point out that one journalist like me could resolve anything certainly not from inside the camp but this is a 1st for me being taken hostage by people to come try and help but it does show also the mark of desperation of these people they are really living a very difficult and hard life and from one day to the next they don't know how they're going to fare so i do understand to a certain extent but i hope they do change their minds an unreal situation

everything else that could change their lives for the better was a long long way away but i was here and the hmong were getting used to the idea. but you know i don't know. the region will go to bed or will i'm going to die surely. going through i heard you know what we don't know and the. people have been scarred mentally by their experiences everyone has been touched everyone seems to have lost family or killed they say by the laos army. last year the leader told me 54 of his people were murdered by the military and their physical scars as well. as 72 he claims 10 children and his wife were killed by the army and then he stepped on a mine planted on a route villages took to get food. what will the foreign money mama. payment.

while. in the long but only known to the. many many many. my song is $59.00 and a grandmother she has lost 5 son and or shot dead she says by laotian soldiers. she says the scars of bullet wounds suffered when she went to dig for food don't know who. they are. now you know how. i'm feeling now. going on you know monday leave me to go. and you don't get my. no. no leave now you know how much your own laws. are so she i know.

this is the thing survive on here it's the root of a plant and you have to dig down about a meter in order to get it takes a migratory to is what we lived on for 3 days in the jungle getting here the surprise was that this is what we have on every single day here looking to get 3 meals a day if not it's about 2 in you know if you know you have a big fan oh no. she doesn't. have an awesome i'm not someone to also call me. by the light of a count by the singer pushtuns and dunks the steps of their ancestors who move from mongolia to china and then to laos.

they try to retain what little culture they can and scrape by in a harsh environment that is now their world one that with every generation slowly ebbing away did. the dawn is always the most vulnerable time with the hmong in the jungle the time when the laos army is most likely to strike one in. the wash more a splash really is a luxury the home would be to expose living in rivers. this is for me to take. the leader was still insisting i stay but he'd written

a letter which he wanted me to deliver personally to the united nations in new york . at the moment. they were tough resilient people which is why the cia used them for 10 years during the vietnam war just a handful now remain in the jungle of northern else and finally i get to meet some . nice. paul on our do you up for i do you know your poem don't yet you know i don't know. paul begala. well you're not descartes tell us all. the hmong feel the communist government in laos they call it the red laos is punishing them for fighting for the americans who want yang was a young man he fought for the americans against the communists been a nice girl now he feels abandoned by me got it all in our. national make up you who will be. no man.

there were. well the ones that power board. would need to shout. circle on him. when you're watching the slow death of a people it's hard to know what to do or even what to say i try to reassure them i gave them what i had in my past medical supplies and food the 1st time the younger hmong had seen ham and cheese. dictate one piece of good think went one thing for him. it's different. if. you don't. know sheepishly they came forward for a taste 1st the men you know how you were going out and then the women some a little confused about what they were being offered and your mother well i don't

want to. know you i know you all know i don't. want to know about you but then the children inched forward wary and wondrous at the same time. that. it was you know i did say that i'm not going to write your card i'm not because you're not getting. what they need if you're not going to love. them you can have. a lot. of the time passed the hmongs belief in me as a savior didn't diminish quite the contrary they stated me killed one of the few chickens they had in my honor and lit candles as a blessing to bestow on a good luck i thought a day and i don't think we had more got to lay tied strings on my wrist to ward off the bad spirits they knelt before me in acts of homage it was also overwhelming and

has been quite a moving experience i've never had anything like this happening before and i miss some great belief that i can suddenly. change around their fortunes and i can singlehandedly make the united nations come in and do something they treat me like some kind of god here. and i'm got the heart to tell them that so many other people around the world in so many other dire situations have been let down before by the international community. a chicken no matter how small an anorexic has good luck signs the wishbone almost suggested good omens maybe my release. or are done. for the hmong the jungle of now than laos is a place of nightmares and dreams. 18 years old he married at 15 and has 2 children he dreams of studying music and taking his children to

a park. the melancholy sound of b.'s guitar made me think about my hopes my precinct desire to leave. i've been here for about 5 days now and i haven't had a proper water in that time i lived largely on the roots in these parts of hardly had the sun on my face because along up the live in places like this which is giving plenty of cover in case of the aerial reconnaissance of the laotian army spots them. and. i'm finding every night off. and i've got to go. i see these people around me and every day i see the children it makes me think of my children my family and my life and i realize that i can't stick as much longer so i want to go. after a week or rumor spread the translator and i were about to leave. to create panic and angry scenes. that.

i had. from. the money. on the jacket not that you. are not mine you know. that you don't like you don't like it. yeah so good that you know how. subsequently i believe all these people these women of packed up their their baskets their clothes their possessions and they want to come with me they want to walk out today walk out of the forest and civilization but i keep trying to explain to them that but the laos army out there and. i can't guarantee their safety quite quite the reverse it's bizarre. i did. actually no no no no. no no no i heated argument about whether to stay or to go

with me. oh no no you know what. the mood of panic could come from nowhere and disappears quickly because the homeowner reconcile themselves with reality and battle for survival. and people walked for days from surrounding villages to plead with me for help. had lost all his family and he amputated his own hand after being badly wounded. and began to sing a song about the plight of the hmong people about persecution and injustice about survival. is haunting words followed me as my release became a reality in the lead a blessing for the journey ahead. no. journey. no for our new.

you are. well you. know. you are. not go home. yet and. i turned one last time when i wondered what would happen to the home of northern laos and how many would live long enough to leave. you know. that was the lost tribe secret army of the cia we're joined now from london by the filmmaker tony burke tony why don't you start by telling us why you went looking for the moment the 1st place where i suppose i got a bucket list of stories that i've always wanted to cover i was too young to cover

the vietnam war something that really interested me but a spin off from that was the hmong so i kept in contact with what was happening to them as much as i could and then they came an opportunity there was a connection that i learned solve in in california among community then they i contacted them and they put me in contact with the hmong community in laos and arranged for me to go in and see them so it was something that i really wanted to do it's a great desire to cover that because it's one of those. very i think very important stories but one that is overlooked because it's so difficult to do start challenging was it actually reaching the hmong i mean did you did you know you'd be putting your life in danger well there are always concerns because the people in california may be quite aware of the dangers from the loutish laos army they said that people in the jungle being hunted by the last army there were being killed so i had to be prepared for that sort of thing i wasn't really prepared for the physical side of it because actually getting there was physically challenging i

wasn't perhaps the fittest at the time but soon as i started walking it was a monumental hike for nearly 3 days over really really large hills in darkness sometimes and i'm not due to go with a camera man who was carrying a bit away and when he learnt about the rigors of the of the hike and the fact the potential dangers he decided not to go so therefore i took the camera myself which i've done in the past and it wasn't a problem for me. but as a i found it challenging he would have found it impossible to be honest tony you were seen as something of a savior but then you were also taken hostage how did you cope psychologically well i'm a tough old dog so it didn't really get me down too much to be honest it was never a case of my life being in danger i didn't fear these people i understood their desperation and they were using whatever bargaining tool they could nevertheless phony ideas this is one of those stories that really thay's with you long after

you've left. well it was a profound experience because i never really expected to find what i did i didn't understand from all my research the deep. fear and the deprivation of these people so to actually go there from the moment i entered their camp they were on their hands and knees praying and crying and this was not just to greet me was not a show because in the course of the next week i saw it on a regular basis people crying people pleading with me people saying they've got no hope they're all going to die they're all heard stories about you know their loved ones being killed they said by the laotian army the fact that they were on the run they were sick they were needy and they had very little you also made a promise to take this up with the u.n. did you manage that i went to new york i went to the united nations i wrote to the secretary general i told everything i saw or i gave

a link to the documentary i did absolutely nothing happened when i raised it in a press briefing to the un's press people they looked at me like yeah and what it didn't register on the social consciousness of the united nations or in fact the world so i feel a tremendous sense of failure and i suppose that's why the images of stayed with me so long longer than some of the other horrible things that i've covered tony berkeley great talking to you thanks for joining us and we want. and that is it from us this wait be sure to check us out online though the real one page at al jazeera dot com for more films from the series i'm kemal santamaria from the whole team thanks for joining us see its time. rewind returns with a new series. and brand new updates on the best about his ears documentaries.

a treacherous migration. it's dangerous to the ices of them as they strive to preserve their traditional way of life. or sometimes luser cattle there was a cold war because of the storm risking it all mongolia on al-jazeera. i really felt liberated as a journalist from iceland getting to the truth doesn't i will that's what this job . this is al-jazeera. i'm a very unforgiving this is the life from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes trade

war concerns and competing agendas of the g. 7 summit but leaders do agree that the french president should lead talks with iran . and he didn't want to make it you know much more than i do in a lot of money in taxes you can buy and believe me never get tense and china donald trump to head south again to china during a meeting with british delegates. brazilian troops join the battle against fires burning in the amazon and the president says that things are returning to normal. too scared to return to me on my ranger refugees to man better right before they'll go back as they mark 2 years since fleeing to bangladesh. leaders of the g 7 have agreed to the french president taking the lead in talks with iran amid efforts to salvage the nuclear deal but u.s. president donald trump says that he wasn't part of the discussions the news of the

leaders met for discussions on trade as concerns grow about the trade war between the u.s. and china trump was dismissed reports of any rifts at the summit saying that he's getting along well with the other 6 leaders but in a separate meeting with the u.k.'s prime minister boris johnson he showed no sign of backing down from the trade war. let's go live out of barrett's zeros to touch a butler is so let's start with that progress that seems to have been made on iran . yes progress but also mixed messages and what we're hearing from the french president emanuel markhor is that the formal dinner that took place on saturday night with g 7 leaders at that formal dinner or those g 7 leaders according to him at all mark agreed that he should be tasked with the role to try to mediate in the iran crisis and talk to the iranian president try and pass on some of the discussions they're having here to the iranian president as

a role that in a way man of martin's been trying to carve out for himself ever since the u.s. pulled out of the 2015 iran dealing with impose sanctions on iran iran or mark or has been calling for this time for a deescalation of tensions are something that he wants to do he's saying though that he now has a role in doing that he said that he proposed to at that formal dinner donald trump was there for iran perhaps to be able to trade a certain amount of oil and in return iran could agree we have to see whether that will happen on not having a nuclear weapon promising not to continue with scaling back on its uranium enrichment or upping i should say its uranium enrichment however we just heard from the u.s. president donald trump and what he's saying is that well he's not exactly blocking him at all mark or he's not saying that he didn't agree to model marc on doing that but neither is he saying that he's actually throwing his support behind him at all

micro as a possible mediator so certainly mixed messages on iran even though it does seem perhaps there is some form of progress if the french president indeed is going to go ahead and talk to directly to iran on behalf of these g 7 leaders and of course we knew it would the tasha trade dominating the discussions one of the main developments over. yes it was a best special session on trade a little bit earlier with the g 7 leaders in fact it had been requested by the u.s. president who felt that the economy really wasn't being put as much in focus as he would have liked this g 7 summits now in terms of what happens in that meeting we don't know too much we only know that the u.s. president has certainly said that there might be a very big trade deal coming up with japan we know already there are many differences between some g 7 leaders and the u.s. president on trade because they feel that the u.s.

trade war with china is causing economic reports that could possibly lead to a recession now on friday just to take you back a little bit when china put retaliatory tera tariffs on the united states donald trump of that point said that perhaps he was going to start asking u.s. companies to leave china now he was asked about this a little bit earlier at the summit and he said that he could invoke emergency powers if he wanted that would allow him to do this let's hear what he said. we'll . take our intellectual property. anywhere from $300000000000.00 to $500000000000.00 a year and we have a total loss of almost a trillion dollars a year for many years. and many ways it's an emergency i have no plan right now actually we're getting along very well with right now we're talking i think they want to make it you know much more than i do getting a lot of money in terrorists coming in by the 1000000000 we never get tense and

china so what happens when we are talking. when a man or woman calls also made very clear that he wants to deescalate trade tensions so there's no doubt the french president is hosting this summit feels that he's in somewhat of a fire fighting the wrong it does seen. have a whole range of issues and many different outlook and opinion and strategy with the u.s. president al-jazeera and reporting live from the g. 7 summit in beer it's from the tension many thanks indeed james moore is a senior fellow at the center for european policy studies and previously served as a european union ambassador to egypt and yemen he joins us now live from brussels good to have you with us so what do you make of the statements we've heard so far from the summit the body language the mood music the french didn't want this to be all about trade but so far trade seems to be dominating right now.

well it's not surprising i guess given the state of the world economy right now and all of the fears have been engendered by the so-called us china trade war i think that there is going to be very hard to have any breakthrough i think the ministration position is pretty well entrenched essentially want to protectionism where with use of tariffs to try to get their way with china whereas on the european side both the e.u. institutions and indeed the member states who make up the rest of the g 7 along with canada and japan have a pretty clear view that the best way to resolve this is through the multilateral system so. there are a lot of common cause with the americans and. their talk about intellectual property theft and of course a whole series of other issues when the past we would deal with europe together with the americans through the system but that doesn't happen anymore because the problem ministration basically has the attached itself from the workings of that

institution which is in need of reform we all know that and the europeans want to do that they want to reform the make it more effective that would be a good thing however to do it without the cooperation of the americans is going to be very very difficult quite a lot of distance there i think are on trade especially as to how best to deal with china. china as i say certainly has a lot of questions to answer on trade but the europeans i think are sticking to the idea that it's best to answer those through the system and not in some sort of protection is where the e.u. case prime minister had a working breakfast with u.s. president donald trump in terms of foreign policy the u.k. has traditionally been in step with the e.u. with boris johnson now talking up the possibility of a trade deal between the u.k. and the u.s. once the u.k. has left the european union do you think the u.k. might pivot away from the e.u. anytime soon particularly when it comes to issues like iran possibly climate change . well i think now

there's no sign of any. distance there mr johnson has said he doesn't like terrorists for example he made that remark after meeting with president trump he has not given any indication yet that he would break with the europeans on iran and on climate that in the u.k. is an extremely sensitive issue for public opinion to be very careful there as well however the reality is that should happen the u.k. will be pretty isolated. mr johnson the people around him drummed up this idea of a trade deal with the americans or some sort of compensation very few people think that that would be the case pascal lamy and many others will tell you why but in any event it's going to put the british in a pretty difficult position because in order to get the cooperation of the american side specially the white house they will have probably to make some concessions on

some other issues and who knows that could involve foreign policy in iran whether or not that will actually enable a trade deal with the americans is a completely separate question there you have a whole series of constraints within the american system not least from congress so far as that is concerned and one of the other known g 7 nations african nations who put invited to attend this summit what will they be looking to get from it. well i think it's important that they're there they have participated some of them in the past the 2011 g 7 gave rise to the deauville partnership that was at the time of the arab awakenings it didn't make a great deal of impact on fortunately after that but all sorts of reasons but it's the 1st time that there's been a focus on africa for quite some time this is france after all who is hosting with very strong interests in. in north africa and you've got a pretty good lineup there of african leaders the egyptian president who's also president of the african union the south africans are there the next president of

the book but you know faster is there and actually i think for the africans obviously development is going to be an important issue but also security and i know that we all know i think that france would like to do more to bolster security especially in the sahil where the fight is going on in mali and some of the other countries there are against violent extremism and who knows maybe there could actually be more of a meeting of minds you might get a little bit more cooperation with the americans on some of these issues than you would on the rather more global problems that we were just talking about always good to talk to so many thanks indeed james morris live in brussels well just outside beer it's protesters have gathered to voice their opposition to the g. 7 summit anticapitalist activists environmentalist and other antiglobalization groups are in bed all marching in the streets carrying portraits of president of money a lot of fronts taken from town halls. tens of thousands of brazilian soldiers have begun heading into the amazon to join the fight against fires burning through the

rain forest but that president says things are returning to normal the military is being sent to 6 states in an unprecedented response the number of funds is about 85 percent higher than last year and many blame the policies of president john paulson are 0 for them while hundreds of new fires have been reported adding to the several 1000 across the region official data compiled by national geographic shows the scale and intensity of the fires 6 brazilian states are asking for federal help and 77000 wildfires have been reported since january alone was in brazil's president as expressed confidence that the situation is under control of the average burns are down over the last few years and are going back to normal in the amazon and have been described as an international crisis and will be discussed urgently at the g. 7 summit many of them started in remote areas of the amazon that are difficult to

police there are places where developers often see opportunities in clearing land but much of it is protected or belongs to indigenous communities went to the northwestern region of around the area one of the areas worst affected by the fire us. both brazil's joy and its curse is it sheer size this sensation of infinity the sense that no matter how much damage man does you can never ruin all of this but now with large parts of the amazon the blaze that sensation is being shattered what happens here in this remote part of the amazon does matter in the rest of brazil doesn't matter in the rest of the world we've just an hour long journey by road from the road on your state capitol. hill and then with now taking a 5 hour trip up the. to the county borne of indigenous community just one of many around brazil that complain that speculators often encroach on their land and step fires fires which often go out of control these remote territories are always very

difficult to police but now with the president in office who's cut funding to the very government agencies tasked with defending this land that's near.
