a government order ethiopia's to gray region goes ahead with regional elections despite the prime minister calling the vote illegal. thank you very much for joining us an overcrowded greek island that become the makeshift home for thousands of migrants is now small doraine boy in a desperate effort has begun to work out what to do with those now homeless fire burned through hours at the morea camp into wednesday morning a state of emergency has been declared on the island of less fals and greece's prime minister is about to hold an emergency meeting in athens or abroad manoli begins our coverage. with still burning through moria camp a new day began on the greek island of blood sports. around the camp thousands of refugees again in 30 of a sleepy wherever they can. from the movie nights more than 12000 people fled

as flames began sweeping to the largest refugee camp in grief. many looked own as the homes were destroyed. the possible against the 5 made move difficult by storm with. here i was there a few days parts but i need to show you. you know. the camp in those rooms just off the coast of turkey was known for its cramped and unfounded tree conditions. built for about 3000 people it housed more than 12000 people who lived in huts in tents with limited access to running water the government says the fires were deliberately lit by some camp residents angry to continue to lock down due to the coronavirus pandemic 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 it was 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 in a suit and some of the people that were in this quarantine area were fleeing from that violence and in the process of that several fires are set on the perimeter. between 20152016 thousands of people made the journey across the mediterranean from turkey to the island of less both. many flight from war persecution and poverty hoping to find safety in europe since the 1st of march through 3 have been quarantined away from moria camp due to the pandemic but for the people who found refugee morea the very little they had is gone and what was already an uncertain future is looking even more bleak. among the al-jazeera carline

wellman is project coordinator for over 1000 in less posts or less was silent for doctors without borders she says the conditions in the camp have been bad for some time. well it is a capital best of the over 3000 people who are at the moment there's between 12 and 13000 people that were host up there until last night and so overnights fires have been raging in different places in the calm and the earliest reports this morning seem to indicate that the camp is almost completely destroyed there's a few segments of it still standing but overall there is very little left and so at least 12 to 13000 people who are. who have had to evacuate to camp overnight because of the fires. are currently in the streets with nowhere to go so it's obviously a little bit too soon to have really precise and confirmed news about how exactly the fires were started it seems that it is in the possible that it was the residence of the camp who started them. what you need to keep in mind that for the

last 5 years there has been a completely inhumane and the plural why gratian policy in place of madea people have been living in completely inhumane circumstances for the last 5 years have absolutely no perspective and this is the whole of stress has been augmented tremendously in the last 6 months with very strict movement restrictions related to covert 19 and then of course the stress when last week a 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 a predictable outcome of these horrendous migration policies that people have been suffering from for the last 5 years so there was a 1st case last week 2000 people were tested then by greek help authorities and which resulted up to yesterday in a report of the in total of $35.00 cases who had been put in isolation right now

and there is nothing of anymore in place for it because consider the account no longer there and we are extremely worried not only $4040.00. present children that even money who are currently on the street but in particular related to hope and also more than 200 people live in the camp who are at particular risk or covert either 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 $200.00 are mixed in the big group of 13000 who are basically at loss in the streets. afghanistan's vice president has survived what appears to have been yet another assassination attempt which killed at least 10 others and no less salah is unharmed and thanks government security forces for what he called their fight against terrorism. detests. a familiar scene in afghanistan's capital. roadside bomb explosion this time

told that seeing the vice president. the attack happened during the morning rush hour as a roll of solace convoy was traveling through the town money area of kabul was he survived was appears to be an assassination attempt but several others are dead and at least a dozen injured were rushed to hospital. and explosion happened near the shops selling gas cylinders my push cart was on the road i just heard the explosion and rushed to the street leading to my home and then i found myself covered with blood and whatever that i was in the car i lost one of my brothers and the other one is hurt what kind of government is this because no ambulance and the police haven't even arrived yet taken a child to this clinic when the blast happened was the vice president and former intelligence chief is one of the most targeted men in afghanistan back in his office with his hand bandage he had this message to his attackers but. i want to

assure you in a message that i'm fine and safe but some of my security guards are injured and they are in hospital i do not know about the casualties about our people and once again i'm sorry about this and i want to thank all of those who say in their messages about my health i want to thank all the security forces who are fighting against terrorism and acting as a shield to face these terrorists attacks and i'm proud of them no one's claimed responsibility the taliban was quick to denounce the latest attack on saleh has managed to survive a number of assassination attempts over the years they included the storming of his office in kabul last year by 3 gunmen who killed 20 people including salles family . he's part of the government's negotiation team with the taliban with the latest talks to to be held in qatar the wise president with a strong wise. and also having an influence on the ongoing peace process is certainly going to become much harder in his. negotiating with the taliban

which is which is expected lee going to have some sort of impact but as far as the start of negotiation is concerned i don't think it will have a heart to process the negotiation process should proceed as the 2 sides agree to move on because right now a bit is a slight hurdle there is a difference of opinion between taliban and the afghan government under the leaves of a handful of prisoners sourness young saunders reportedly with him in the call and his own home and the blast series called and as investigators look likely. so to hide out. trials for one of the world's most promising coronavirus treatments on hold because of the unexplained illness of a patient develop as astra zeneca an ox said university named and started late stage chest in last week thousands of patients in brazil britain south africa and the u.s. are taking part that's bringing your and see who's in oxford for

a snoring so what more do we know about why the oxford vaccine trial is put on hold . well the new york times has reported that one person who is part of the trial apparently inside the u.k. suffered information of the spine that's not being confirmed by astra zeneca and clearly on one level this this might be a bad development for the for the vaccine but it is only one person out of tens of thousands who have been child all over the world as you said and very many has been phase 3 of this is gone through phase one phase 2 already very many have had a very strong immune response and so there have been very many scientists coming out this morning and experts saying look it is totally normal for a vaccine child to have to be halted in this way it isn't the 1st time that this vaccine trial has had to be halted it was at wholesale in the year as well and the point that they make is that you can't confuse what they call correlation with

causation which is to say that just because 2 things have happened once someone's been given the vaccine and has gotten ill it doesn't necessarily follow that the vaccine has been the cause of their illness a lot of these people are old that they may have underlying health conditions already there was one case that some scientists have been talking about in 2009 where a vaccine trial had to be hold seats because the woman became very ill and died and it turned out that she'd ended up dying of a malignant brain tumor which has nothing to do with the vaccine issues being tested on at all and so the view in the scientific community still remains that on the balance of probabilities they will test this person to see if there's anything else that's wrong with them and in all probability they'll be able to restart the vaccine trials in in a few weeks time and it is still the hope certainly in this country and australia and elsewhere that millions and hundreds of millions of these vaccines could be rolled out to the people early next year yeah many people around the world hoping

that a new vaccine will come soon because being introduced in a number of countries including in the u.k. tell us more about the restrictions and how people have been reacting. well the problem is the government now things that people aren't taking the rule seriously enough and in particular young people that's that's what they're worried about there's been a consistent spike in new cases over the last few days 3000 so a day most notably among young people in the government says have become a bit immune to their messaging frankly they're trying to come up with messages that say you might not get ill yourself but you could kill your grandmother and they're also going to start saying that you might not have christmas if if you don't behave yourself in a responsible way trying to sort of get into the minds of young people who are gathering in large groups to them so faced with all this boris johnson the prime minister is going to give a news conference this afternoon in which he's going to say that as for monday. it's going to be illegal for people to gather and more in groups of more than 6

people and that's of course of the time when the schools are just gone back and the universities like the one in oxford are going to start going back in freshers' week which is usual to see for people just going to university together in very large numbers that's not going to be able to happen thank you very much for that norrin see life there. is still ahead on al-jazeera desperate for help in sudan hundreds of thousands have flooded out and why iran supreme leader wants to pull the plug on imports of apple i phone it's. hello it's still raining in the northeast of china from the remains of harsh shan and if you take a line directly south with a still in it's to billets he's showing itself in what looks like the season right

in front still through japan was shouts of follow in the korean peninsula but still in china we've got what looks like late seasonal rains resurrected themselves and they're more or less in southern china now but not entirely much just reach out towards shanghai or beijing that's largely drive occasional light showers or a possibility but if you're in japan just flash flooding territory particularly after what we've just seen in the west the monsoon rain appears to be disappearing slowly south as with time but the forecasts necessarily reflect that all of the wettest place in the last 24 hours has been up round west bangor sort of area and it looks dry in pakistan in the far northwest of india there could be another way the rain could go back up this way. if you don't want it further west or down the west get towards carola that is the focus wet areas for not the 1st time this season so more flash flooding so you've likely in mumbai as good of places any for that to happen middle east and heat is still around the still strong sudden this time of year of course and temperatures in jerusalem still well above normal up to

welcome back a recap of our top stories on al-jazeera this hour a state of emergency has been declared on the greek island of mess after a fire left thousands of refugees and migrants without shelter reports say some of the blazes at the moira refugee camp where started deliberately to protest nearly impose coronavirus restrictions afghanistan's vice president has survived what appears to have been an assassination attempt at least 10 people were killed when i'm going to his convoy was bombed in kabul and one of the world's most advanced corona virus vaccine trials has been put on hold after a protest spent fell ill astra zeneca the company behind the vaccine says a patient has a potentially unexplained m.s. which will need further investigation. and the palestinian foreign minister has called on the arab league to reject efforts by the united arab emirates to build closer ties with israel riyadh on maliki was speaking at the virtual session of the

arab league israel and the u.a.e. are set to sign the u.s. brokered agreement next week as easily lead the lot of the legal finally an earthquake has hit the arab league the dream of the arabs the triple tide the american israeli iraqi declaration is that earthquake we now need to defend ourselves and our cause because we are the ones being blamed for condemning this declaration we asked for an emergency meeting because this earthquake necessitates this extraordinary meeting of the arab league and we are shocked to know that there is a country asking only for an ordinary meeting and another country threatens to submit an alternative resolution do you think it's impossible to discuss the palestinian calls on the arab league agenda who decides those who have money those who have. however we need to know and we need to be able to decide whether will be part

of the whole process or not the us has announced that soon the normalization between the emirates and israel will be a fact will be done we need to reject such a step because otherwise our meeting today will be in support of such normalization and we will never accept that and we hope that you will also refuse it one of the last opposition leaders active in bellicose has been detained by masked men lawyer maxime's not questacon a spot of an escalating crackdown on weeks after protests this comes only a day after a fellow politician maria kolesnikov i was forcibly driven to the border with ukraine sonia gago has been following developments. they seem to be continuing if not intensifying their crackdown on the opposition and namely focusing it on the coordination council which was the council was formed in order to do

a diet to have dialogue with the president look at shank in order to try and resolve the matter of the disputed election as peacefully as possible but this has really been a thorn in the side for president look himself or certainly sees it that way as a very serious threat to his power and of course if you're looking at all the demonstrations that have been happening there. continuously since the august 9th election that opposition to his rule is not going away and so with that the intensity of the crackdown has also been getting heavier as well just don't choose day night after another rally in minsk there were 45 people who were detained at that rally which was protesting against the treatment of media quality cover but also across the country on shoes there at least another 121 people that

were also detained so it really is getting quite stringent if you will and really trying to sort of use the full force of his state. forces to try and quell as much of that dissent as possible because look at shank has said that he is going to go to moscow to meet with putin to discuss this further which is of course another cause of concern for the opposition. voters in ethiopia's know the integrity of region are defying ephedra will government order to cast their ballots in a local election they're choosing members of the 190 seat regional parliament even though the government declared wednesday's vote illegal the poll is spot of the general election which was suspended because of the coronavirus demick prime minister ahmed ruled out military intervention while take rail fishel say any interference would amount to a declaration of war. maybe you see who mikhail is

a member of prime minister has prosperity party he says the people's liberation front ot p.l.f. are heading for political suicide in his words because the result will be nolen voice. well people may turn out maybe few people may turn out to cast their ballots but because the people is under a total repression because the people cannot bear its voice and its deep interest. may happen but this is a very dangerous situation that appeared if he is putting it into a side admission because this diction is totally in their gun and as a result is not in void so the tension can be scally to but surely as a period if cannot win this game and this is basically happening in order

to avoid the artesian of the people because if cannot answer the true questions of the people the people has a lot of questions related with modern station was corruption with true implementation of federalism and there are lots of questions so because the stupid if cannot all these demands of the people he is just hiding afic i genda and trying to appear as if he is. he can participate in. political life severe flooding in sudan has killed at least 110 people while with the nile river reaching unprecedented high levels hundreds or thousands of people forced from their homes and desperate for help he morgan before some the capital khartoum. this is how never had a man arrives to the door steps of her home these days she comes to see if the

around 1000 dollars in the u.s. but here in iran you're likely to pay at least 40 percent more for it sanctions the cost of importing phones and the weekly rate in currency are all factors in the high prices if people coming into the country bring in a phone they still have to pay for the registration again increasing costs but that's not putting everyone off for 4 months i have a pro max i chose it because it's high quality and you can use it for years unfortunately we have lots of fluctuation in the dollar rate so if you want to buy a knife and the seller should make phone calls and check the price and then sell it to you it's very expensive now apple makes up 5 percent of the phone market some think its loss won't have a great impact for the whole scenario bending i phones will make no change in iran since american sanctions tighten 2 years ago apple restricted access to some of its products here many i phone applications don't work it's difficult to get an apple id or buy software we're in the middle of an economic battle with the united states

based on an official report last year 700 to $800000000.00 was spent on i phone imports but the share is only 4 to 5 percent of the market it. not logical economically under the current circumstances we're giving our money to the american workforce talks of banning the imports of the i phone have already driven up prices and criticisms from some hid the supreme leader's russian language account tweeted his statement on objections to look american cell phones from an i phone is also blocked in iran but political officials routinely used a platform to get their message across it's led some to accuse the political establishment of double standards for now iranians can still buy i phones but in the future they may have to turn to other brands for a touch of that cheery aside big al-jazeera the iran.
