the most human way possible. here and we believe everyone has a story worth hearing. this is al jazeera. hello and welcome i'm peter w. watching the news live from our world headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes thousands of refugees spend a 3rd night in the open on the greek island of less box after the fires destroyed their overcrowded camps. china and india agreed to disengage troops at a disputed border area months after the deadly confrontation. fears grow of water borne disease after sudan's worst flooding in

a century. and why is disney's new movie causing offense in china. and in sports arena williams one becoming a record for the grand slam title at this year's u.s. then american was knocked out by victoria to rank in the semifinals at fashion that . let's get going 10 e.u. countries have no creates taken $400.00 unaccompanied minors after fires gutted europe's biggest refugee camp in greece thousands of refugees and migrants spent yet another night last night without shelter and little food on the island of lesbos the moyra camp was destroyed by the fires on tuesday and wednesday germany and france say they'll take in most miners left stranded and homeless. we're

already the finance and organize. quick the media virus from the idea of 400 on the combo miners who are already involved in don't release and who'll i'm very proud one ounce of the health of the german and other governments will be able to do locate in our members. live now to our correspondent john psaropoulos who joins us from the camp there john it looks pretty bad behind you what kind of situation the refugees in today. we are still seeing some people hanging around this area trying to find the belongings that were destroyed by several fires over a 3 day period the most recent of them yesterday we were filming as they were being

lit and we witnessed several fires starting up these houses that have been set up around the main camp outside the perimeter of the official camp are also now mostly destroyed so this entire area is basically uninhabitable the government says that it has managed to provide them with water and with food and we have seen people who have struggled back hair cutting bottles of fresh water away but the next step is to get them to show one ship a passenger ferry has been chartered and has arrived we are told by cars go to thor's he's here on the island it is more would not in the main harbor of me to leave it on the other side of the island because of lack of space. and people are meant to be taken there as soon as possible especially families but they haven't arrived there yet the 2nd thing that's being done today is that tents which arrived

yesterday afternoon are going to be set up in the municipal refugee camp calls got out there and we expect to see and film that resettlement of people in that camp in those tents today but that still probably leaves many thousands in the hills the olive groves around us here because people haven't really been told where to go and they've scattered in various directions a lot of them have been sleeping on the highways of the islands we films that and you showed that. we are thinking that this is going to take many days it's not an easy. operation because contrary to what was 1st thought when some of these huts around moria camp remained standing on on wednesday morning it was thought then that several 1000 people would be able to live in those makeshift swellings that's

that it appears to be impossible now so i think the numbers have gone up in terms of who needs to be relocated to a new form of shelter and we might be talking about 10 to 12000 people so that i think it's going to take a longer time than was originally thought john does the e.u. have a clear plan at the back of its cumulative mind when it comes to getting those unaccompanied minors either to a safe location on the island or off the island completely. well 406 or 408 unaccompanied minors we're told have now been flown out that was the top priority because they are the most vulnerable population and they will presumably be adopted in other e.u. countries but. the. other residents the other refugees and asylum

seekers. the government says will not be relocated from the island they are being kept here for 2 reasons one is deportation of those whose asylum applications are rejected becomes legally much more difficult with the turkish authorities once they leave here because it isn't clear that they arrived here from turkey if they relocate if they deported from mainland greece at least that is what turkish authorities have been saying to greek authorities the 2nd reason is epidemiological the island is now considered a high covert risk area mosques are supposed to be warm indoors and out of doors at all times and this population if it's relocated to camps in mainland greece could end up infecting those refugee populations we saw this happen earlier this year it's a hotel in the peloponnese where

a few cases that had been brought in from lesbos rapidly infected 300 people who was staying in that facility and the entire facility had to be locked down so authorities here don't want to see that happen they want to keep people here. john thank you very much john psaropoulos al-jazeera correspondent there reporting live from les boss 'd. another top story for you india and china have agreed to deescalate tensions days after shots were fired across the border for the 1st time in 45 years foreign ministers have been holding talks in moscow in june 20 indian soldiers were killed in hand to hand combat with chinese forces in the region of le duc it's not known how many chinese soldiers were hurt. well the 5 point plan includes existing border agreements new delhi and beijing have agreed to quickly disengage the use of firearms along the border is already bald both sides have committed to continue talking through diplomatic and military channels too and to

speed up the so-called trust building measures. correspondents covering the story both from india and china in a moment we'll take you live to katrina you in beijing 1st on this before on them joins us from new delhi good morning good afternoon is there anything new that they're talking about because the 5 point plan that's been around for a couple of months now. good afternoon. there isn't anything new in this agreement and that is why there is a lot of skepticism about this but what is new is we have the defense minister chairing a meeting with the national security advisor and also with the chief of defense darfur and with the 3 heads of the army the navy the air force about the situation on the border we haven't had any official reaction on the indian government that's not new most of the information about the standoff in the national media is from unnamed government sources who say that this time for in the suggestion to really

express very strong concerns about the amassing of chinese troops on the border. about what india sees as china's provocative provocative action and the reason that there is a lot of skepticism about the agreement is because there have been many rounds of talks between the 2 sides to this is the highest level face to face meeting but in the months of negotiations at various levels both sides always agreed to disengage and yet we did have the most serious clashes in june that saw the deaths of 20 indian soldiers we also had the defense ministers of both countries saying that last friday one week ago and just 3 days later we had both countries accusing each other of firing warning shots for the 1st time in 45. it is so we are waiting to see what comes out of that defense ministry if anything concrete on disengagement comes out of the meeting as thousands of troops from both sides still very much in a face off against each other on the border elizabeth thank you very much this

brown on there reporting live for the news from new delhi to beijing my colleague katrina you katrina are they doing the same thing in china that they're doing in india it's kind of joint talks with the politicians and the military i mean who's driving this in china. well we had a statement from the foreign ministry from one new who is a foreign minister who engage in those talks in moscow and he seems to be very much behind driving this at least from beijing's point of view he had some very positive language to share said that india and china should stop viewing each other as competitors and work more closely as partners and they should work to build neutral trust rather than suspicion he also said that china india relations were at a sort of crossroads and there was no obstacle or difficulty that either side would be able to wouldn't be able to overcome in terms of coming close and working together on this very complex issue now state media have been lording the meeting

lauding those statements we had a picture of the front page of the global times of india and china's foreign ministers along with the story in russia but the language itself here in china from state media at least is somewhat less friendly reflecting some of those skeptical sentiments that liz spoke about in india certainly from the global times over the editorial saying that the implementation of this 5 point consensus really depends on india's ability to hold up its side of the bargain and unless it does so this is little more than what it called paper talk now that really does reflect the kind of muscle flexing sentiment we've seen from the aging indeed from tiny's take me in the last few weeks as these tensions have been escalating china and india pointing fingers at each other certainly china saying that it's entirely india's fault that we have seen these escalating tensions and saying that really india should be wary and pull back because their military is no match for china's military and that

china will not hesitate to defend its own sovereignty we've also seen china really beefing up its troop presence along the border in these past few weeks just this week alone we've had reports from state media that special operations troops have been parachuted into the area they've been conducting military drills they've been adapting drone technology so one you did say to stay. that there was an urgent need for both sides to pull back their troops to prevent any likelihood of further skirmishes so it remains to be seen whether we're going to see that reflected on the ground from china side whether they're going to lighten their troop presence on the border in the future katrina thank you very much katrina our correspondent there in beijing let's bring in experts steve steve young who joins us on skype from the u.k. steve welcome back to the news hour. who will blink 1st here when it comes to doing the right thing. i don't think either is likely to bring for bush and that's why i think the current

a new initiate on it to foreign ministers is very important they have a way to try and i don't boy making the other. faced. any other option will not work what are they discussing here because it seems to me what we're actually talking about is a very poor us border relationship between the 2 countries are they trying to get to a stage where they can nail it down and say ok that's chinese territory and on the other side is indian territory what you could do it at that would be fantastic they've been trying to do that all many decades and have not been able to do so so i do expect them to be able to do that in the coming decade are either what we are seeing we eased the recognition on the part of or is senior people matched. both countries. dangerous situation has the granite and there will they

want you found ways to ease the tension but reality is we manged the situation on the ground motion remains very high on life in terms of that minute during question now at the border region and so the fact that if ministers are talking doesn't necessarily means the situation on the ground who and if the situation on the ground that's not who risk remains all tension i mean can that escalation how do the different sides or the diplomats the politicians on both sides here unpack this what is the issue here that perhaps will be put on the backburner because it's such a foggy conflict and it's difficult to pin down who is the aggressor and who reacts to that aggression. i feel who which is

a more aggressive one really is somewhat beside the point i don't think i need as i has been particularly. aved in the last confrontation and i think the fact that the chinese have been very very cautious in the leasing deck casualty figures which suggest that a public release of a high against abused and the indians and that would make the imagery on the chinese aren't very uncomfortable and the fact that a commander in india but county and was killed in the last hand to hand combat also means that the indian troops out very emotionally in war so i don't think we're going to see that on the military to military talks being very effective and that is why the diplomats have come to you and are used to kuwait and was here to try to ease tensions and war or minimized the risk of an intended

confrontation ok we'll have to leave it there steve there in the u.k. many facts and what. plenty more ahead here on the news hour for you including a rising border tension between india and china is hurting business in the region of the himalayas. and wildfires rage along america's west coast destroying homes and scorching farmland. and in the sports news the l.a. lakers stay dominant in their playoff series against the houston rockets actually from the n.b.a. it's coming up in about 30 minutes. now in colombia the death toll from protests against the police has risen to 10 people were outraged after a father of 2 was repeatedly tasered whilst he was being arrested he later died under m.p.'s he reports now from the capital. for

a 2nd straight night demonstrators clashed with security forces as they rallied against the killing of an unarmed man by the police. i called testers. blocked roads and attempted to burn neighborhood police stations since the riot began on wednesday at least 9 people have been killed and more than 60 were injured by firearms allegedly shot by the police. and. this is happening because people are fed up at some point the pressure explodes and if people need to die so be it but there has to be a solution ok the mayor of. this urged protesters to refrain from violence but compared to the police response to the worst days of armed conflict. indiscriminate so far as cannot be considered. this is a direct attack on. civilians the fast majority of them young people.

the protests were sparked by. a 43 year old. being pinned to the ground by 2 officers for violating. the agents repeatedly tasered him as he begged please no more he died soon after. his sister in law says that or don't use was assassinated and demanded justice. this wasn't in the piece it was my agent killed my brother in law and it can't and in a disciplinary action it has to be a penal one my brother in law was killed by the violence and the hatred we have nurtured in colombia the last thing we wanted was that his death sparked more violence. the government said abuse of power should not be tolerated but insisted facing massive acts of vandalism and violence many. demonstrations show p. both anger goes beyond the issue of police brutality and we need real fundamental

change in this country and the vandalism doesn't help but is a way to call the government in the people's attention because this year we've seen many human rights leaders killed the economy falling apart we need change it's clear that people's frustration has reached the boiling point with the killing of have yes or no and yes the question now is if these protests will be the spark that will revive the kind of mass demonstrations that have rattled the country at the end of last year i listen to them. all saying with a story the defense minister says the situation is now mostly under control. we're offering our full cooperation in order to ensure the investigation into the death of javier humbert ordinaries is carried out with transparency the situation for security forces is now mostly under control as they've adopted all necessary measures to guarantee the stability of the country and the safety of the colombian people. half a 1000000 people have been ordered to leave their homes in the u.s.

election and the results of that will determine how the country deals with the world for the next 5 years as i beg al-jazeera to her on. israel and the united. arab emirates will sign their deal normalizing relations at the white house on tuesday the agreement involves israel shelving plans to annex parts of the occupied west bank and that's prompted protests from leaders of israeli in the settlements but many of them could end up benefiting from the deal as well as how to force it when benjamin netanyahu didn't follow through on his promise to annex illegal israeli settlements in the occupied west bank some in the settler movement called it betrayal but as the contours of israel's deal with the u.a.e. come into focus others believe it could end up being a bargain anna meller has farmed herbs and dates since coming to the jordan valley in 1905 she was never pro an exception but she is interested in normalization over the. one the normal lives. of lie.

reason this was important for us here. where we're good business with a deal ending the u.s. embargo on israel mellows in talks about exporting her product and sharing agricultural techniques developed for a hot arid climate. the local mayor who heads the settler yes accountable has accused israel's prime minister of betrayal for suspending an exception but even he says in some ways it's been a win for avoiding any commitment to a palestinian state and for the prospect of formalizing a hidden trading relationship sent to countries. especially dates but out marketing mark. the product. already happened now we. did joy. for the palestinians appealing to members of the arab league this week the deal remains

a reward for entrenched in the occupation over who will be not given issue we stopped an exception with our position along with everyone who rejected this policy or you know that israel has decided to move from overt an exception to quite gradual an exception after a rare 6 month pause a new round of thousands of settler home approvals is expected next week continues on infrastructure projects linking settlements around jerusalem and blocking the prospects of a joined up palestinian state. palestinians have long said that an undeclared creeping form of an accession has been going on for many years in the shape of projects like this one and there's no sign of this kind of activity being slowed by the deal the one influential settler manner the deal undercuts the prevailing international position that settlements are the main obstacle to progress on a peace deal the traditional concept was that in order to gain peace we will have to withdraw back to the 1967 borders the settlements the tiles the cities that have

been built into dance america will have to be evacuated then demolished those issues are already not on the table they're not mentioned and we're going forward he's not alone in believing that the longer this process continues the likelier that annexation eventually comes back into view very force at al-jazeera in the occupied west bank. ok so if you will weather his journey i mean just astonishing pictures coming up and the entire west coast journey yet another citizen because this entire west coast just in and like it is just as you say image after image and in fact let me show on the satellite because this case guys because they're not really clear because we have got this smoke in the atmosphere and this particular image coming through today this obviously los angeles and the skies are red and of course i was saying yesterday that one of the reasons we've got this these red skies is because the winds have eased and the winds have eased or all of this all of this smoke all of this is not coming down it's not you know being blown away so

that's why the skies also very red indeed and of course oregon really suffering here hundreds of homes have been destroyed here this mobile this mobile home park it's been about the temperatures and the winds the temperatures beginning to come down slightly across into california but also beginning to come down into washington state as well what we need is some rain now there is some rain hopefully coming through certainly up into seattle north until monday beginning of next week but that really should help however there is a downside with the rain the winds are going to change direction they're going to be on shore wins it doesn't really change things in san francisco but the on shore winds could that will actually start to blow all this smoke back inland temperatures meanwhile down for the south in los angeles still well above the average this is an image taken obviously from space this is not cloud this is all the smoke and as i say it has been blowing offshore as the winds then change direction all of this snow has got to go somewhere and fight to the really begin to push not just to the west but extend across towards the south and also the east now

whilst we've had these fires burning we've also had flooding across the mid atlantic region marathon stays and in fact there is more of this likely as we see more rain across the east but of course it stays hot and dry across the west although pizza not as hot as it was but as i say it's about the winds because these files are just ferocious of so many of them absolutely jenny will talk to soon enough thanks very much still to come for you here. on the news out of the fire off to destroy an aboriginal site in australia the head of one of the world's biggest mining companies has resigned. and in the sports news fans react as players hold a moment of unity ahead of the n.f.l. season opener far all have a story in about 20 minutes. free education for all was the promise the reality provoked

grazing their coats on pastures near the border this summer. most of the land for bashing in the winter is near the border so if in the coming winter they are stopped from going there we will incur a lot of loss. in some settings said thousands of goats could die this one to which would be a disaster for the more than $1000.00 families in the dark which depend on them for their livelihood and also meet mina and destry and if it happened then they are not able to get. their only source is that it would mean depriving a section of the men who are vulnerable who dig through this economic activity because they're not able to and from any other activity. both india and china have been reinforcing their military strength of the mountains and accuse each other of firing warning shots for the 1st time in 45 years the foreign ministers have agreed to disengage militarily but political analysts say

diarrhea and they're concerned that there will be cholera especially because of the poor drainage system that most of these areas have had prior to the floods now the other concern is the economic impact of the floods that we've seen over the past few days here in sudan the exchange rate of the sudanese pound to the dollar has been rapidly climbed been which is led the government to declare a state of emergency and economic state of emergency on thursday evening there the prices of of commodities in the market has been increasing people have been saying that they can no longer afford market prices they can normally go for buying vegetables food and feed their family even after losing their properties after getting their homes destroyed after being displaced from their homes so they've been complaining about that the government has declared a state of emergency an economic state of emergency and they say that anybody who. is found to possess a foreign currency or who is suspected to be dealing with foreign currency will be

prosecuted up to 10 years in prison if found guilty they say that that's because the sudanese plan has lost more than 40 percent of its of its value now on the humanitarian side the people are saying that they want food they want proper shelter they want places that they can put their heads and go to sleep at night they say that the government's response has been very weak and they're urging the government which says that it is trying to do its best but that if you look at the capacity that it has is limited because the floodwater has exceeded expectations. so people are waiting for 4 for a response to avoid what's a point diseases so what he the humanitarian consequences while living with the economic impacts of this life here is this shaping up to be something of a triple whammy and as much as a see the local weather department at the government is saying the rainy season will probably last longer than normal on top of that you've got a country that was already hit with coronavirus and then you've got the very real

prospect of water borne diseases. yes indeed peter now people are saying that they already have enough on their plates and that this floods and the destruction caused by it is something that is more than they could handle we've spoken to people who are not just concerned about like i said earlier the economic downfall of it but they're also concerned about how they will start rebuilding now they've been thing that the government response is too weak at the government's think that because it had already had enough to deal with the pandemic on one side of the economic downfall and the currency in the nfl ation on the other hand and now the floods that's something they say that they need help from the international community from the international organizations to be able to support so it looks like it is a big challenge for the government which is saying it's trying to deal this and go with it day by day to be able to help those in need ok many things here morgan reporting live from khartoum. back to the states emerged that the u.s. president donald trump told the journalist bob woodward that he protected the saudi
