about 85 percent higher than last year and many blame the policies of president john boston are of for them while hundreds of new fires have been reported adding to the several 1000 across the region's official data compiled by national geographic shoes the scale and intensity of the science 6 brazilian states or austin federal help and 77000 wildfires have been reported since january alone brazil's president has expressed confidence that the situation is under control measure the average burns are down over the last few years in are going back to normal in the amazon fires have been described as an international crisis 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 run the near one of the areas worst affected by the fires

both brazil's joy and its current sheer size this sensation of infinity the sense that no matter how much damage man does it 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 it was ill doesn't matter in the rest of the world we've just an hour long journey by road from the road on your state's capital. and then without taking a 5 hour trip up the pot and already over to the county board not indigenous community just one of many around brazil that complain that speculators often encroach on their land and set 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 new. impossible the president both. the indigenous

communities of brazil are an impediment to progress in the country and hinted that speculators will not be punished for breaking the law we're now surrounded by smoke i can smell the smoke. into the river many of those speculators are taking full. advantage of that situation and the one of the major reasons why large parts of the amazon raging are ablaze like really before it with the news out from out 0 still to come on the program new concerns the very pink the popular alternative to smoking could be linked to a mysterious lung disease there are reports of a hunger strike inside this bahraini prison or have a live interview with a former inmate. and one of the biggest stars in american football makes a shock announcement we'll have the details later in school.

ranger refugees in bangladesh are marking 2 years since violence forced hundreds of thousands of them to flee. in cox's their protesting of a camp conditions because the situation is unresolved bangladesh is warning that it can no longer bear the economic burden of sheltering more than a 1000000000 to refugees many of them have resisted efforts to send them back saying that their safety can't be guaranteed let's go live now to the good apolo long refugee camp stephanie decker is that for a staff 2 years on and these people any closer to going home. i think that is you know a.j. . you were mentioning 2 years to the day when hundreds of. turning them into refugee camps in the world yes bangladesh says it can't deal with them in the long term not just not just financially but also graphically mean mark doesn't want to be. there are no guarantees that the members what's going to happen

to them if they do go back which is why nobody wants to take that journey at the moment but they all tell you that they want to go home it is an incredibly complicated situation and one that is going to take a lot of time to resolve certainly the political will the pressure does seem to be their agent but let's take a listen to what some of the people here have told us about what they want. today's quiet calm betrays the scenes of panic 2 years ago when hundreds of thousands of rangar across the river nuff in a desperate attempt to seek safety they are safe now but nothing has been resolved nor has 6 children who was part of the exodus in august of 2017 really rather. they are asked if you want to go back to burma i said no ask me why i told them of the houses were burnt our family members were raped and killed this is why we suffered so much and came here how can we go back without knowing that we will be

safe there's been a renewed effort to get some of the refugees to go back to me and mark but with no guarantee of what will happen when they get there no one has so far agreed to return the scale of this camp is like nothing you've ever seen it is the biggest refugee camp in the world around a 1000000 rangar are living in these camps across southeastern bangladesh but what does that number really mean well it's more or less the population of islamabad or oslo it is a city of refugees without the infrastructure needed to cope. many aid agencies work here in that sense it is a global effort but it's bangladesh that's hosting the rangar and it's made it very clear this is a temporary solution and it's a population that keeps expanding this is a really dynamic population. aboard 100 to 2 been born into did that come to 3000 police report and people being murdered him to

you so it keeps growing the young won't remember much about what happened but the older ones know that the killings the rate the burning of homes in august of 2017 was only the latest chapter in what's been decades of persecution against their people and as you hussein is a camp leader this is his 3rd time as a refugee in bangladesh have brought our grandmother not boredom i don't bother my gratitude i'm 65 years old i came here as a refugee in 1978 then again in 1902 then i went back now i'm a refugee again in 2017 i've spent 30 years of my life as a refugee i want to go home if the burmese accept our demands will go back right away. what they want is to be officially recognize israel as citizens of me and mar with rights freedom of movement and security what they want is to go back home but the reality is they are not wanted there most of their homes no longer exist

bangladesh is categoric it can't use them forever it's not clear what or where their future will be. while it's just started to rain it is monsoon fever and that is one of the major challenges here every year you do have people that die you do have these rains washed down some of these bamboo makeshift cuts because they are all built on what used to be a forest this move used to be a massive forest that have to be cut down so when these people so it is hilly and it is very prone to landslides are just one of the challenges and again you know you have a 1000000 people here you heard not practically nothing population at the slum about but it simply doesn't have the infrastructure to cope so challenging times ahead the local community also getting quite frustrated with the presence here they don't need to be resolved but it's not looking any closer to that at the moment. stephanie decker reporting live from the credible long refugee camp. in bangladesh

that many thanks indeed. have been fleeing violence in myanmar for decades some of them have tried to reach indonesia malaysia and thailand by boat most of crossed into bangladesh by land there are now more than a 1000000 refugees in camps along the border bangladesh plans to move thousands of them to a remote island to ease of a crowding but rights groups say that that could spark a new crisis because the island is prone to flooding a 2nd attempts to send some of the refugees back to me has failed many refused to return saying that it just isn't safe but the camps too could be dangerous the un has warned of an increasing number of ranger being tricked by people traffickers and sold into slavery i think the raeburn has had a. advocacy for save the children stranger response she joins us now via skype from cox bazaar good to have you with us as we heard live from stephanie it's just begun to rain is the rainy season 2 years on what conditions like for refugees living in

that refugee camp city it's an end to the crisis we've got almost 1000000 refugees and over half a 1000000 of those are children they're still living in temporary shelters that are made out of plastic who as we heard there are really really really susceptible to landslides and flooding the children that we speak to and what could tell us that they feel unsafe they worry about violence they worry about trafficking they worry about drugs and whilst we are now past the 1st phase humanitarian response and people out there and they have food and they have access to medical services there's also no outlet for a bright future or a possible solution the bangladesh government says that it's going to take a quote from a line with refugees it wants to move to repatriate is a conditions any better for them in rakhine state home in mandell what do these people have to return to from what we've see in the conditions in manama have not improved and in fact in some areas of west and in northern iraq for example there

is still no humanitarian access and in order for that to retire and meanwhile must commit to actually addressing the root causes of this issue which go far beyond that of of violence that spot this most recent exodus 2 years ago in addition to that it's now 2 years later and no perpetrators of crimes against the regime have been brought to justice the rangar cannot have a future in me and unless justice dispute and change his approach to account so what role if any does the international community have to play here the international community must continue to apply pressure on me and mark to change these conditions in addition to that the u.n. security council must act immediately refer the situation in me and mark the international criminal court athena raven from save the children good to talk to you many thanks athena. prisoners inside a jail in bahrain are on hunger strike saying that being mistreated around 600 inmates began a hunger strike 10 days ago of the conditions inside georgia prison in the east of

the country they've complained that denied religious and visits the rights of being kept in solitary confinement but media in bahrain says that an official investigation found the prisons managers haven't broken any regulations up ahead a lot i is director for advocacy at the bahrain institute for rights and democracy is also a former inmate at the prison and joins us now live from weymouth in the united kingdom good to have you with us what's this hunger strike really all about what do you make of the findings by the independent ombudsman. if that is the conditions in the prison i am afforded whatever me prison and i was there in 2011 i do remember my 1st job prison where i was welcomed by being beaten by the by the officers i remember one with the pregnant from my hand and begin to look my head towards the wall and the speck to my face and begin to slap me and this is the

place where they say to will come i think years left out and now the prison conditions than joe is in this was conditions since 2017 some of those inmates did not see their families for a single time because because that city is that started to impose a punitive measures that no longer tolerable by the presence of things like just barriers so they cannot really even have a direct contact with their families and it's been the case for 2 years that some of those inmates did not had a single time in a visitation system i think denial or american negligence so there are serious disease within the prison that people can see that they don't really get even a proper treatment then i know that medications the situation with comes in to fill the prison facilities and it's overcrowding you talk about a president that was supposed to have only 6 inmates it's got in some cases 12 in

some cases even 18 individuals they are known to water and they had a bad food in many cases they do commented mess numbers of individuals being facing food poisoning just because of the poor quality of the food so in summer they don't have air conditioning and announced of water and they cannot even if left to pull it which is the 2nd there so this is how bad it is and it's on the on boats on the independent that's been has given this person the clean bill of health what do you make of that. well this is this is their mandate this is what they call it a whitewash and it. is they are said to do one job and this job is to whitewash the crimes which committed by that that it is and instead of really investigating what's happening there and in order to check why that abyss is and 9 we didn't have a chance then does this it's things that set by the united nations minimum 3 months for prisoners when known as mendelian rules what the practice at the behind of prison is in a breach and to everything go right to it when enemies cannot even have their

rights to practice their really disrupt they cannot to pray together or they cannot even worship for i'm sure or have the endurance this is nice things even in 2007 when the torture according to the government was something systematic this is what the king has said that the i.c.i. stated that there is a systematic torture in the country in 2011 and i want the president out there we had those rights the president is going to take it anymore where they see every single think it's been taken away there is a policy of systematic discrimination against police political prisoners repeatedly they would be mistreated they would be human lated and there is no end to all of this so then bussmann instead of coming up with a whitewash report this is just another think where you have a humorous supposed to be a human rights organization and they could just if i think start executions l n t this is how far they go and this is why the united nations committee to protest

committee against torture and named. as one of those institutions was not effective not independent and looked an impartial institution could talk to so many thanks to . a lot of the director of advocacy at the bufferin institute for rights and democracy thank you. next up here on the news we'll have a wonderful cost just kevin corriveau is here then. for the 1st time ever the into sex population those born with the anatomy of both a boy and a go at being counted in an african census we'll tell you. for the 12th straight weekend thousands of protesters have taken to the streets in hong kong demanding a fed to micro see. the lightning strikes gulfs end of season event leaving fans injured details coming up in the schools.

well the olympic is beginning to wake up right now in terms of tropical areas watching 2 in particular one is up here across parts of the bahamas and into florida now the national hurricane center says that this has a 70 percent chance that it is going to be developing we don't think it's going to be very strong and it's going to be moving off shore into the atlantic and into the warm waters maybe a tropical depression or tropical storm but we could be seeing some storm surge as well as rip tides across the carolinas over the next few days the other areas down here across the atlantic now this is our new tropical storm dorian it is going to strengthen and it is moving towards the caribbean so we're going to watching this very carefully over the next few days winds right now $65.00 climber pro winds

gusting even higher than that but moving to the west at 20 kilometers the storm is right now p. a sees to about 4 meters so we're going to be seeing this really become a problem over the next few days as we go from sunday and into monday the storm is going to be making its way towards the west but bay dose already has trouble storm watches up right now tomorrow those are going to turn to tropical storm warnings and as we go towards the next couple days it will move into the caribbean we're going to be watching this very closely because as it makes its way towards the northwest we could be seeing a category one storm get very close to puerto rico. was sponsored by the time anyway. september on al-jazeera up to gears of war and famine al-jazeera looks at the dramatic transformation emerging to the inspirational stories of 4 diversity p.o.b. and israel elections can benjamin netanyahu form a majority and sometimes another town listening post to 6 the world's media how

marching peacefully earlier protests began over the extradition bill which was later shelved but the demands have white to include political reform so let's go live now to officer as way to hey who's in hong kong things looking pretty tense there at the moment wayne one of the prospects for the violence tonight. is adrian in fact just a few moments ago we saw required scuffle take place right here and i'm going to step out just so you can see exactly what is going on right now the police you can see them there the riot police now making them march down this fairly main road in suburban hong kong where in the northwest part of hong kong as the sit just a few moments ago where those police are walking now were hundreds of protest is really who had formed up along this road and they were exchanging fire for one of a better term between them and the riot police many many rounds of tear gas were

fired by the police and the protest is returned fire throwing bricks and other items as they have done over the past couple of months and really the protest is held on for as long as they could before the pressure from the police became too much and we just come back this way what you see here for the 1st time since this protest movement began almost 3 months ago is what it can and the police did warn that this was going to be a possibility today we haven't seen it deployed yet but this is the 1st time as far as we're aware that it has been out on the streets with the possibility that it could be used against the protesters one of the reasons according to the media here that speculated about this development this morning was that we've had pretty bad weather in hong kong today the tear gas they felt wouldn't be. as a fictive in that wet weather so the water cannon was possibly going to be a better option for them as it was they fired plenty of tear gas as far as we can tell the water cannon wasn't deployed so that pushed the protesters further down

this road from what we can tell them to disperse but it's been a very unpredictable situation from the outset really adrian and i feel certain that those protesters will be regrouping bats in smaller numbers somewhere nearby way hong kong's chief executive kerry law is proposing a process of a talks with the protesters tell us more about. all that has actually begun finally you know there's been talk about having dialogue between the protesters and the government for the past 2 and a half months and it just hasn't happened for a variety of reasons so what she did on saturday was invite 19 influential people from hong kong including politicians to government house to begin a brainstorming session ultimately with the aim of bringing this situation to an end and getting protesters to the table to talk there were no protist is all the leaders involved in those talks and no official comment made after the 1st round of

talks but according again to media reports quoting some of the people that were inside there inside that meeting and they are saying that more than half of those 19 people were trying to urge kerry lamb the chief executive to get here to some of the demands to bow to some of the demands of the protest is including scrapping officially that controversial extradition bill that really started all of this off and also agreeing to one of the other key demands of the protest is and that is an independent inquiry into police conduct again there are no protests does at that meeting so it seems that it is very unlikely that it's going to have any positive effect in the short term in terms of bringing the situation to a peaceful end i was there as when today reporting live from hong kong with many things. that israeli drone has crashed in lebanon's capital beirut has ballers says that it damaged the building housing its media office in the area of awad in the
