the flames of several fires at moria camp the largest in the country reports say some of the blazes were started deliberately to protest newly imposed coronavirus restrictions the facility was placed under quarantine last week after the 1st case was found infections have since reason to $35.00 douglas herman is a co-founder of refocused media labs an organization that works with citizen journalists inside moria camp he says the increased restorations led to riots and the fires being started. the current moment there are several fires that are kind of all over the camp. yes corona has been identified in this camp in recent days and the number of confirmed cases have been rising many of the asymptomatic people have been put into a quarantine area on the far eastern side of the camp and that area earlier this evening was attacked by individuals who seemingly do not believe that corona is actually in the camp and that it is being seen as a reason to continue

a 6 month lockdown in the camp some attacks on some vehicles to move people out of the camp or to move them around ensued and some of the people that were in this current team area were fleeing from that violence and in the process of that several fires were set on the perimeter and then now those fires have been set inside the camp also office for the asylum seeking process takes place is on fire our students living quarters are on fire. numerous people have been evacuated from the area of their own accord or are now by authorities the space that was created for quarantine was for anyone who had recently tested or had been potentially connected to anyone who had tested positive of those cases where it's symptomatic and they were just basically quarantining them off to the side for 14 days so once you know once night falls it's kind of not necessarily you know aggressively policed and in this area some individuals gathered and started arresting some of the people that were inside and some sort of violence ensued the images and the

photos and the stories that are coming back from our students are that you know this violence has just kind of turned into kind of a full scale riot. and we want to show you some live pictures from the moira camp in less bill's greece these are coming to us from the a.f.p. news agency the fire it looks like has been put out but fire trucks still at the scene we still see some smoke at the camp which looks like it's been completely destroyed a few people milling around there as you can see quite a scene at the warrior a camp there on the greek island of les bulls after several fires that were apparently delivery deliberately started by some of the refugees and migrants at the camp to protest against the coronavirus restrictions that have been placed on the camp they've been 35 cases of called it 19 at this camp in greece which is the largest refugee camp on the greek island of les paul's fire trucks still at the

scene but it looks like the files themselves have been put out and it is quite a lot of destruction will keep following this story for you and i'll just share and bring you all the latest when we have it in other world news belo russian opposition leaders atlanta taken off is meeting with political leaders in poland on wednesday she'll be speaking with the prime minister in warsaw as well as fellow better russians living there this comes as police in her home country arrested more on thai government protesters in the capital minsk on tuesday a belorussian opposition politician maria kolesnik over ripped up her passport to avoid being thrown out of the country. now one of the world's most advanced score on a virus vaccine trials has been put on hold after a participant fell ill astra zeneca say as a patient asked for tenchi unexplained illness which will need further investigation the pharmaceutical giant is working with oxford university to develop the vaccine late stage testing got underway last week thousands are taking part in

the trial in the u.k. u.s. brazil and south africa it's hoped $3000000000.00 is can be distributed globally julie fisher is from georgetown medical university she explains what this means for the future of the trial. at this point a group of external experts will be consulted and it's a normal part of the process they'll be called in to see if any adverse events that were reported and were serious are likely to be due to the vaccine or to be unrelated and their advice will help decide whether or not the vaccine trial continues we are all familiar with my old versa vents that can happen after vaccination like fever or pain at the side of the injection to put a pause that has to the event would be serious something that was perhaps related to. the heart the lungs the kid is another system in the body that was really required medical attention and that was found to be serious enough

to merit causing this very important effort to test this vaccine in order to make sure that the vaccine is safe and that the adverse events were not due to the vaccine itself there is a set of expectations to test the safety of any vaccine that will be given to 2 people and that that is that it would be tested in a small group of volunteers to make sure that it is safe and has a reasonable chance of being effective before even going into larger groups of volunteers much less the public without that kind of testing we just don't know for sure if the vaccine will protect people from infection i think we would like to see one as quickly as possible all of us but i think it's reasonable to assume that it would be at the very earliest the end of 2020 and more likely 2021 well astra zeneca is one of 9 drug companies that have pledged not to rush approval

claiming in a written statement that there had been what he called a mischaracterization and politicization of his actions following down or prudes death and the early retirement confirmed by the city's mayor while the timing in tenor of these resignations is difficult we have faced tough times before i choose evil leave now we will get through this i will be meeting with city council to chart a path forward. i can assure this community i am committed to instituting the reforms necessary in our police department and know that there are many questions but this just occurred and honestly i do not have the eastern today this is just the latest wave of protests following police action against african american individuals they were nationwide demonstrations following the killing of george

floyd in may this year the 46 year old died after a white police officer knelt on his neck for more than 7 minutes. then a fresh round of protests following the shooting of jacob break in commercial wisconsin on the 23rd of last month the 29 year old african american was shot in the back several times during a rest in full view of his children sitting in his car blake is paralyzed from the waist down the u.s. attorney general recently denied there was systematic racism within the police making the claim that in his words it is very rare for an unarmed african american to be shot by a white police officer the millions much of this year have protested the police killings of african americans would disagree pointing at the death of daniel proved in rochester as yet another tragic confirmation of independent statistics that

know you've been there we've seen the latest pictures from the camp which looks like it's been destroyed by these fires what is a current situation as you know it. so in the this is exactly what we know right now as you probably know more it is you can predict but city of 3000 people who are at the moment there's between 12 and 13000 people that were hosts of there until last night and so overnight fires have been raging in different places in the camp and the earliest reports this morning seem to indicate that the camp is almost completely destroyed and there's a few segments of it still standing but overall there is very little left and so the 12 to 13000 people who are. who have had to evacuate to come overnight because of the fires. are currently in the streets with nowhere to go indeed and the live pictures that we're looking at right now show a lot of destruction at this camp which is the biggest one on lesbos island and a stand we also understand that apparently these fires were. were started

deliberately by some of the refugees and migrants at the camp to protest the coronavirus restrictions that have been placed on them what more can you tell us about this and what is a situation as far as covert 19 inside the camp. so it's obviously a little bit too soon to have really precise and confirm you can use about how exactly the fires were started it seems that it is in the possible that it was residents of the cab who started them and what you need to keep in mind that for the last 5 years there has been a complete inhumane and the poor will like ration policy places madea people have been living in completely inhumane circumstances for the last 5 years have absolutely no perspective and this is the will of stress has been a moment a tremendously in the last 6 months with very strict movement restrictions related to comit 19 and then of course the the tional stress when last week of the 1st case

of it was identified in the camp and the camp was put under under mass quarantine so meaning nobody was anymore allowed to leave the camp so i think what we're seeing now it's unfortunately very sad but also predictable outcome of these horrendous migration policies that people have been suffering from for the last 5 years we understand that there are about 35 cases of covert 19 in the camp what sort of help are these people getting and also you know what what are the authorities done to prevent the virus from spreading within the cap. yes so we've known from the beginning that it's extremely difficult to contain the virus under circumstances such as money 13000 places people in a place designed for 3000 it means it's impossible to keep distance it's impossible to wash your hands on a regular basis because there's not sufficient water and sanitation facilities available. and so there was a 1st case last week 2000 people were tested then buying 3 health authorities. with

which resulted up to yesterday in reportedly a total of $35.00 cases who had been put in isolation right now there is nothing anymore in place for it because consider money account no longer there and we are extremely worried not only 4 to 40 percent children even 1000000 who are currently on the streets but in particular we need to hope that also more than 200 people live in the camp who are at particular risk for heart or because of their age or because of co-morbidities that would mean that if they get infected they will be much more sick than the rest of the population and so as far as we know right now those 200 are mixed in the big group of 30000 who are basically at loss in the streets 70 a very critical situation for those refugees and migrants at moira camp in less post grace thank you so much cal and when i am from doctors without borders m.s.f. speaking to us there from les paul sankey for your time. now the coronavirus

pandemic and the south asia south china sea feud are high on the agenda for diplomatic talks in southeast asia the 10 nation asay and bloc is holding a delayed summit with foreign ministers meeting virtually because of the outbreak scott hide everything or some bangkok. the any meetings are viewed as an opportunity for the host country this year vietnam to showcase its culture progress and position but not only have 2020 meetings and summits switched to virtual gatherings their traditions and the usual focus on the big regional issues this year are taking a backseat because of covert 19 but even more than the pandemic itself it's the dire economic downturn the region is preparing for i think that this is foremost in the minds of foreign ministers and i think they'll be looking for creative and practical ways of trying to. quickly recover in 2021 they may also be talking about opportunities for allowing tourism or travel bubbles or other things

like this have been discussed primarily bilaterally between governments in the past while the 10 countries of austria look to work together to help restart their economies superpowers china and the united states continue to ratchet up their rhetoric and posture in the region tension between china and the u.s. in the south china sea has surged both in moving military assets into the areas of disputed territory but also in diplomatic action sanctions and threats with the need for both nations to be involved in the region for economic and security reasons they look to avoid flashpoints. countries in this region they look at hong kong right and they see a very sort of concerning trend where if you play into one of the you know superpower arguments if you become sort of an object of superpower competition it tends to go very badly for you and i think countries in the region are are watching that example very carefully so while the foreign ministers look to make

progress and working better as a region along with powerful outsiders they'll be focused on plotting a path for their collective 650000000 people who face years of post pandemic economic recovery it's got harder al-jazeera bankcard. severe flooding in sudan has killed at least 110 people with the nile river reaching unprecedented high levels hundreds of thousands of people forced from their homes are desperate for help morgan reports in the capital cotton. this is how i never had a man arrives to the doorstep of her home these days she comes to see if the water which flooded nearly 2 weeks ago has receded the yard which was once dry and where she used to spend most of her evenings is still covered with water from the river which is now steady after rising to levels not seen in more than a century ever slide down in the senate in a way that we were surprised this year when the ny waters entered our neighborhood and we didn't know what to do there are no stand bags there is no one to come and
