local communities and to the travel because of the cattle area but it's not just that we've seen that in other parts of further to the south it is not just the crops and the cattle that are suffering but especially the wildlife that is unprotected in this forest. a team of believe in veterinarians traveled to the reserve forest fires have been raging for weeks but their mission is to try to rescue wild animals which may have been injured. this was the scene the previous night the fire destroyed everything in its path. but if you animals were saved like this 2 day old wild pig whose mother died in the fire. the nature is extraordinary the way the allows these creatures to adapt in the face of danger and stress and find. enormous dildo with burnt eyes a hawk recovering from smoke inhalation along with

a boa constrictor they're all receiving treatment at the shelter. today the rescue is hope to find more survivors riding in a direction. which indicates sometimes when there's a fire and we can tell because of the large number of butterflies that are flying away. this area has already burned to the ground and there's no sign of life. pokes around a serpent hole if it's deep enough he says the snakes may have survived. if you can see this is apocalyptic there's nothing left these are part of the world's longs now it's nature that's disappearing next it will be. this is no sign of firefighters here as you can see the wind here is absolutely fierce and it's fanning the flames again in this direction the plan is to bring a super tanker helicopter here in the next couple of days to leave water for the animals that have survived but that helicopter is also needed to put out the fires
8:15 am
to save human life. the fire remains out of control a thick layer of smoke and ash fills the air making the sun look red. it's too dangerous to stay in the veterinarian star upset that they couldn't save a single animal i mean. i feel impotent because people aren't seeing how the amazon is burning how burning alive and no one is doing anything. while much of the world focuses on the fires raging in the brazilian amazon the devastation here in neighboring bolivia is receiving far less attention. even though assistance is desperately needed not just to put out the fires but to regenerate this fragile and diverse eco system so that what has survived will still be able to live here. all day long we have seen truckloads of soldiers going out into the fire area also
8:16 am
with some volunteers most of them between the ages of 16 and 22 they're not properly trained firemen they don't have the proper equipment either to protect their feet or to protect their lungs from the smoke and from and from smoke inhalation but they're doing their very very best to put out these fires which are spreading faster and faster because of the climatic conditions the very very strong winds extremely high temperatures and of course a prolonged drought. and then you still ahead forecasters suggest a massive hurricane heading towards the u.s. may steer away from a direct hit past huge numbers turn out in british cities denouncing the prime minister's decision to suspend potter meant weeks before bracks 8 and 2 of england's most famous team star away leads in the premier league on saturday he will be here with that story in sports just stay with us.

8:28 am
there is self preparing for the worse especially vulnerable people like the elderly and gallagher as ari. now a category 4 storm with sustained winds in excess of 230 kilometers per hour hurricane dorian is edging closer to the u.s. the southeast coast in florida a state of emergency has been declared in dozens of counties as people board up their homes fuel their cars and brace themselves in case a hurricane makes landfall after 12 residents of a nursing home died from heat exhaustion during hurricane irma in 2017 the state's and acted strict guidelines for florida's many assisted living facilities are again dorian is being seen as a vital test for the new laws were hopeful that this generator will be a oaks c.e.o. katherine kastner installed a state of the art generator and says the care industry is much better prepared i think today given the. devastating loss of so many lives that
8:29 am
everybody is very pool show for that at all costs resident martin caden has lived through hurricanes before and tells us he feels safe as dorian lingers of the east coast moving is very secure. you know we're very close to the very. very likely. we lived through a lot of. stories for you to have continues to change residents of the bahamas are under a serious threat as they brace for impact on sunday the storm may not make a direct hit on florida but the governor is warning against complacency if it bombs further east that obviously is positive if it dumps just a little west then you're looking at really really significant impacts and so don't make any assumptions remain vigilant and be prepared the key phrase now is
8:30 am
a cone of uncertainty which places florida georgia and the carolinas in the potential path of hurricane dorian forecasters and residents are watching closely this remains a powerful storm with an unpredictable path and people are preparing for the worst and hoping that dorian skirts the east coast sparing millions from what's being described as a monster storm the states in the potential path of dorian have been hit many times before all remain vigilant all are prepared now it's a case of watching a slowly moving storm that seems to be only getting stronger as it tracks through the warm waters of the atlantic gallacher all the 0 miami florida. have been protests in cities all over the u.k. against prime minister boris johnson's decision to suspend parliament just weeks before bracks said they gathered under the slogan stop the coup accusing john snuffs trying to silence parliament in order to leave the e.u. without a deal the government denies this and says the suspension is nothing unusual and
8:31 am
was at the protests in london. ways large a noisy demonstration outside downing street is one of dozens across the u.k. old saw today and many more big fund over the next week gives you an idea of the strength of feeling after boris johnson said that he would try to suspend parliament for several weeks now this is all he meant is that it's a no will procedure to get ready for a queen. speech before laying out his legislative program the people here say it's a clear power grab trying to stop all of them from doing his job just by eating his breakfast policies and avoiding or no deal price it now some of the organizers here are affiliated to the opposition labor party and senior labor figures who said it's clear what boris johnson is really base what is insured by the mechanism that is used and the dates that he's chosen is that it is almost impossible almost
8:32 am
impossible to get legislation which would bind the government into asking for an extension but you ask why i don't trust and the reason i don't trust this is because just recently he lied about whether he wanted to probe parliament he said he didn't believe in such procedures and he lied about the $350000000000.00 pounds that would be coming to the n.h.s. as a result of leaving the complete nonsense accepted now that it was just a lie and this is a man who is a serial liar and we cannot trust our democracy to know the action is not just on the streets there are a number of legal challenges going on it england and scotland under northern ireland that due to wrap up next week and in parliament itself and things who are really worried about a no deal price set are trying to figure out their best tactics in the 1st instance they've agreed to try legislation to force the government perhaps to seek an extension to article 50 beyond the end of october but it still might come to
8:33 am
a vote of no confidence in the government a number of conservative politicians side will vote against their own government but it's unclear whether they do at the moment have the numbers and that's why so many people here are extremely angry about what the government's doing right now greece is transferring refugees from a silence to the mainland then who will speed up the deportation process for asylum seekers whose applications are rejected there's been a surge in the numbers of people trying to reach crispier techie and his files pressure on already overcrowded i encountered such as this one in the last boss. people still want to stick security a my activists watch spork on the islands have told me that the lot of them are from afghanistan but they're also syrians coming it's so suppose they really really feel scared that they don't consider turkey to be a safe country for them as women.
