4:02 pm
mainland and is working to house them in tents and on chartered ships earlier 10 e.u. countries agreed to take in 400 unaccompanied minors from the camp germany and france say they will take in most of them. at the camp he says there's nothing left for the people there to salvage. 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
4:03 pm
have seen people have struggled back here carting bottles of fresh water away but the next step is to get them to shelter one ship a passenger ferry has been chartered and has arrived we are told by coast guard authorities here on the island it is more loss 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 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 called 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
4:04 pm
groves around us here ok let's bring in julia garner she's a senior analyst in e.u. migration and asylum at the open society european policy institute she's in rome julia gonna welcome to the news hour what can the authorities do and do quickly to make the situation that these people are enjoying better than it was 2 days ago 3 days ago. well the only thing i thought you should be doing is in fact raising these people from yarn and unfortunately that's the one thing they have ruled out so far i can't be numb tenable and unsustainable for a very long time and many people have been found to be alone that this kind of thing was to have 1. 100000 people house which has inadequate. points of view including many children. because he was 3000 so the situation right now should be with you see if your heart is fair in people away from our young and less us and not putting them on ferries on the coast while
4:05 pm
they prepare a new detention center to everyone i guess the greek authorities might however say if you let them go to the mainland they will just evaporate and disappear because we know already that some people who were involved in the in the fire not people who started the fire but people who were in the refugee camp they have kind of half disappeared on less boss itself. well that's inevitable and it's a consequence of the potency the e.u. has basically decided that our own people arriving in city protection in europe from turkey will be confined and basically. greece very particular on we kind of off the coast of turkey this is a different choice than it spends some to terence the idea here is if you create conditions and some hope is more people will start coming to europe unfortunately then that's why people still seek safety in europe as they buy the shirt under
4:06 pm
international law and has the e.u. standing in the world and it just doesn't work from any point of view from a moral human rights and from a practical on us well as i said it hasn't stopped the people arriving so the only solution is for the people to get out to each police and other european countries hotels to be know about the more than $400.00 unaccompanied minors. there are many other companies on the island and its financial best interests to take care of business be in i'm going to issue from the very beginning of creation is having to pass with 65 i'm fortunate in what the u.n. member states have been doing so far as you point out our ties to children are right. on the top of the announcement with the evacuation that is very i have got but the problem is broader than that the children are basically being used as we know dressing so we can fart he's saying they're living up to thank you what rights
4:07 pm
are we going since i'm sure in the children and taking care of but nobody is taking care of the other stuff i don't in abysmal i have a condition and somehow people from long time and period you know do with their families but also many of the time. what happens if what's going on unless it was right now in the aftermath of this fire at the refugee center what happens if this does not make the european countries the e.u. countries focus in fresh on the problems of the refugees and also the problems of the people born and bred in less boss because that was a highly negative difficult relationship anyway because understandably all those e.u. presidents and prime ministers they're focusing on covert covert 19 in the coronavirus . yes sure and the situation is untenable as you point out however have a sense of let us in for the other greek audience who have been admirable since the
4:08 pm
beginning and welcoming the refugees that have now quite rightly got haven't i got the prospect of you know being of having to shoulder the burden for the rest of the european union it's a family affair nation. especially because the numbers now some small but they would be perfectly marriage so the situation is currently catastrophic has been created such will happen it hasn't. you are not talking about someone stricken country which is a gay couple of mattick in a few 1000 refugees we're talking about european union and despite a pandemic it's a continent of 500 minutes which is continent. and so it's perfectly capable marketing of the influx of humanity and that's what should be happening now unfortunately the signals are getting stronger in that direction there is some prioritization of children as i said in the coming weeks the european commission presented migration act which i'm sure to. extend in the.
4:09 pm
white house and orders of hank aaron to do how. so unfortunately for those who have your human rights it's not hot in groundhog day all over again i am just like affording numbers of people arriving julia the gun at their own room thank you very much a memorial service is being held in the united states to mark the 19th anniversary of the 911 attacks in new york a moment of silence was held at 8 46 am local time when the 1st aircraft crashed into the world trade center's north tower on september the 11th 2001 ceremonies are being staged a little differently this year because of the coronavirus restrictions. let's bring you the latest live shots coming to us from new york city where a moment of silence was just held one of those who died when the 2nd aircraft
4:10 pm
united airlines 175 struck the south tower 65 people were on board that aircraft including the 5 hijackers the flight was on his way to los angeles having deposits from boston let's listen in to what's going on. says them and kelly. you know the reaching out. rocco come on. michael. come iraq. david. camm they're going through a roll call clearly of people who lost their lives on 911 september 11th 2001 let's stay with those pictures and bring in our correspondent in new york kristen salumi chris didn't new york is still under restrictions because of it 19 how are the commemorations this year different from years gone by.
4:11 pm
but peter in the years past thousands of people would be gathered here in lower manhattan and certainly remember the more than 2700 who died here on that day 19 years ago this year the ceremonies are very scaled back and in fact we have to think it's terribly is taking place the official 911 memorial site is just about a block away from here and because of covert concerns that that site is now open only to families or to the $911.00 families and survivors there's a new stage there the names which traditionally would be read out loud are not being read letters not reporting being played about all the words of the victims who have day. the decision not to have that formal ceremony. didn't sit well with a lot of $911.00 families they were very concerned and very upset about that and felt that something could be done to have a safe and socially distanced ceremony and that's what you see taking place behind
4:12 pm
me here. the organization the nonprofit known as the tunnel to towers foundation which was established by the brother of a fallen firefighter and in fact had been working to raise money and provide personal protective equipment for 1st responders here in europe took it upon themselves to organize this another ceremony and you can see behind me that the names are being run by the family members terror in honor of the montra that they have taken the slogan that they've repeated every year since that fateful day to never forget how many politicians are taking part this year. well it's interesting most of the politicians will pay their respects at the official memorial site everyone from the merit of the city bill de blasio to the vice president joe biden the democratic nominee for president vice president mike pence also will make an appearance there but vice president penn's actually just
4:13 pm
finished here he gave a prayer before the crowd here i'm told by organizers that he reached out specifically and asked if he could come to this event make a statement perhaps the president. and vice president biden will also be in pennsylvania today later today for ceremonies there where another player crashed on that fateful day so much more subdued ceremonies of course he were crowds fewer people here but for the families a very important that this tradition continues and is continuing as you see. her students thank you very much christine sumi there our correspondent in new york the city as well did state indeed the whole of the much states remember what happened in the. waterborne diseases are a growing threat in sudan after its worst flooding in a century at least 100 people have been killed and 800000 homes have been destroyed
4:14 pm
or damaged but all river rose to its highest level since records began it morgan has more from. sudanese officials are reporting that the water from the nile river is receding gradually and that they expect the levels to return back to what they see is normal within the coming 2 weeks but the concern right now is the amount of stagnant water that has gone into neighborhoods into villages into areas where people are residing their concerns of water borne diseases medics have been reporting an increase in the number of cases of the horrors here and they say that people have been complaining about. what terri diarrhea and they are 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 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 in which is led the government to declare
4:15 pm
a state of emergency and economic state of emergency on thursday evening there the prices of the 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 pound has lost more than 40 percent of its of its value well al jazeera spoke to one man who's lost everything. one of the for most of. us growing our of how to load a bottle but have them i had a lot of stars or i figured it out in my on my shower last another do you darling

4:19 pm
was news the l.a. lakers stayed dominant in their playoff series against the houston rockets action from the n.b.a. in about 30 years. india and china have agreed to deescalate tensions days after shots were fired across their disputed border for the 1st time in 45 years foreign ministers have been holding talks in moscow in june 20 indian soldiers were killed in tranter hand combat with chinese troops in the lookback region it's not known how many chinese soldiers were hurt well the 5 point plan does include existing border agreements beijing agreed to quickly disengage the use of firearms along the border is also bad both sides have committed to continue talking through diplomatic and military channels and to speed up the so-called trust building measures correspondents covering the story both from india and china in
4:20 pm
a moment we'll hear from katrina in beijing 1st elizabeth purana from new delhi. there's been no official reaction from the indian government to this agreement yet but we know that the defense minister is holding a meeting with the national security advisor with the chief of defense staff and with the chiefs of the on the the navy and the air force to discuss the situation on the border and the main time this agreement to deescalate has been met with a lot of skepticism and dia by independent experts who say that the agreement is lacking any operational details on how the militaries are going to disengage exactly and the skepticism is because although the foreign ministers meeting with the highest face to face highest level face to face meeting between the 2 sides since the current standoff began in may they have been many rounds of talks on many levels always ending with the agreement to deescalate and yet despite the talks taking place we saw the worst tensions between the 2 countries in june when 20
4:21 pm
indian soldiers were killed those were the 1st deaths in 50 years and despite both countries defense ministers meeting on friday and agreeing to deescalate we have both sides just a few days they say earlier on this week accusing each other of firing warning shots in the air for the 1st time in cinci 5 guineas and so everyone here is very much waiting to see what if anything comes out of the defense ministry meeting that's taking place. as foreign minister released a statement reiterating some of the comments from one the the foreign minister and these were very positive overall he said that china and india should stop viewing you to others competitors and work more closely as partners they should stop this atmosphere of confrontation and really start to cooperate and also build mutual trust rather than suspicion he also said that china indian relations were at a crossroads and there was no obstacle that either side couldn't overcome and working more closely together when it comes to chinese state media that meeting was
4:22 pm
also very much lauded. we had a picture in the front of the global times chinese state media newspaper of the chinese indian foreign minister along with the russian foreign minister but in terms of chinese state media that's where the friendly tone in this paper at least stopped there was much skepticism instead expressed with the global times editors saying that the implementation of this 5 point consensus really depended on india being able to keep up its side of the bargain and otherwise unless india followed through this would be little more than what he called paper talk now this wind of this torrent at least really is in line with what we've heard from beijing's foreign ministry of the past few weeks and chinese state media being quite aggressive saying that china would not hesitate to defend its sovereignty and also that india should be careful because essentially india's military is norm that for china but one interesting we did say in a statement also that there was a sense of urgency in terms of both sides having to create actions in order to
4:23 pm
prevent any further skirmishes including what he said was disengaging contact at the border and pulling back any crosswind personnel but at the same time we've seen some mismatch mixed messaging also from chinese state media with with reports of chinese troops really building up their presence on the border drones being flown in a special operations troops being parachuted in as well so we'll really have to watch closely to see whether china removes or at least pulls back some of those troops as a result of this 5 point plan being announced. the death toll from protests against the police in a recent people were outraged after a father of 2 repeatedly tasered being arrested he later died. reports 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. was protestors
4:24 pm
rocks blocked roads and attempted to turn 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 police abuse this is a direct attack on. civilians the vast majority of them young people. just the protests were sparked by. a 43 year old. being pinned to the ground by 2 officers for violating coronavirus ruled. the agents repeatedly tasered
4:25 pm
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 peace it was murder agents 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 violent. the government said abuse of power should not be tolerated but insisted out tory these are facing massive acts of vandalism and violence many colombian sadie's them astray sions show people's 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
4:26 pm
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 listen to them. while staying with a story the defense minister says the situation is now mostly under control so. we're offering our full cooperation in order to ensure the investigation into the death of javier whom bear to 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 or. russia says it's asking germany for access to question the opposition leader alexina he's recovering in berlin russian police say they traced the opposition leader's movements and what he drank before falling ill also trying

to locate a witness who they say has left the country valmy was airlifted from siberia to germany last month and spent days in a medically induced coma german experts say he was poisoned with the nerve agent novacek. the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has called german allegations of the illness of novelli groundless. but he insists in principle we need to get information from our german colleagues something is happening to them i remind you that on august 27th the prosecutor general's office sent a request for legal assistance from german organizations based on a pre investigation check that immediately began in the russian federation it is in the interest of our german colleagues to defend their reputations for virus with all the necessary information that would somehow shed light on their so far groundless accusations as well lawrence lee is following developments from london. the biggest developments over the last few days remains that novell needs improving he's not best but he's going to get better and he's already said that he has
4:28 pm
a strong recollection of all the events that happened to him leading up to the point at which he collapsed leaving tomsk in siberia faced with that the russians have now said that they've retraced his steps as well they say they know the name of the cafe that he went to. tomsk airport and as you say they've they've said under under all of this the loss of pressure now from germany's approves that and the rest of the west to prevent doing something they said they want to send their investigators over i think it's i think it's inconceivable that the germans would exceed to that would would let it happen they've said by the way they haven't had that request yet anyway but given that they've said that they're absolutely convinced in their own minds novacek and that they want the russians to carry out a proper investigation and letting chemical weapons experts into russia really it seems to me to be honest with you from this distance that the biggest question is now going to be what does in the valley himself do once he's capable of leaving
4:29 pm
hospital which he was soon will be in the coming days or weeks does he try to go back to russia even though he's bound to think as a contingency to his life in doing that if he does want to go back to russia will the russians let's he mean and if they don't let him in what does that say or does he carry on trying to remain in exile and opponents of president putin from from a different country if he does that does that necessarily imply there's lives any say than if he goes back to russia. the remains of at least 7 people have been recovered by firefighters in the u.s. state of california raising the death toll from wildfires that to 10 there are 29 major fires across the state some 64000 people are now on the evacuation orders as a burning across the u.s. west coast off a 1000000 people ordered to leave their homes in the state of oregon classical hane with the latest. san francisco don thursday in ominous sign of what the day would bring buyers chewing through hector after hector pushed by fast moving winds

4:33 pm
a frontal system coming down as that comes down that should bring the rain it we're going to head further to the south through california so sunday go remains sunny for the next few days ted is that not too bad but los angeles for the south of course it is actually warmer the town which is a still above average this is an image showing the smoke all blowing off that west coast but as this front comes down eventually down into the pacific northwest actually the winds are going to change direction it's good because there's an all natural flow this some moisture in there but of course that doesn't mean all that snow. crossland conditions will stay mostly clear out across the west apart from all the snow but there's plenty of rain across eastern section the united states and unfortunately pita it's why we don't need it we need to out west of course jenny will talk to lisa thanks very much still to come here in the news for you. a lot to hear from the protesters behind the weeklong occupation of mexico's national human rights commission. also have rising border tensions between india and china.

4:36 pm
that they be allowed to leave and go to the mainland even though the government has refused they spent yet another night without shelter of the fires or europe's largest refugee camps. water borne diseases are a growing threat in sudan following catastrophic flooding the worst flooding in a century has killed at least 100 sudanese people in destroyed or damaged 100000 homes. and memorial services are being held in the united states to mark the 19th and a verse 3 of the events of 911 in new york moments of silence were held at the precise moment 2 planes flew into the world trade center. now the polls have just closed in the 2nd round of iran's parliamentary elections voters in 10 constituencies took part to lay because of the pandemic the 1st round in february had the lowest voter turnout ever in the islamic republic it resulted in the most conservative parliament in its 40 year history big joins us live now from tehran so
4:37 pm
a low turnout last time benefited the conservatives how do we think it's gone this time. well we don't have an idea of voter turnout just yet but the interior minister has said that the voting has gone smoothly without any issues now this 2nd round of voting has taken place because those candidates in those constituencies didn't meet that 20 percent threshold now in the 2nd round they don't need to have a threshold anyone with the highest votes wins the seat previously we did have one the lowest turnout the country has ever seen it was around 42 percent and here in toronto it was right 26 percent and that resulted in the most conservative parliament since the establishment of the islamic republic now when it comes to larger constituencies voting tends to take place along political lines in terms of reformists and conservative candidates but in the smaller constituencies like we're seeing today is always the case now this is the most the most conservative party
4:38 pm
and that is troubling for president rouhani reformist aligned candidate because they still have to answer questions that he has around 12 ministers that still have to answer questions in parliament and the last time his foreign minister devolves returned to parliament he was interrupted he was heckled he was called a liar and one politician even shouted out death to the reef that prompted the supreme leader ayatollah khomeini to intervene and he came out and said that people have the right to question and hold people accountable but they should do it respectfully and without insulting each other. i mean. the. measure of how. divided iranian politics is right now. well yes the economy is in a great state sanction the u.s. sanctions on the country are really hitting hard but also the nuclear deal many
4:39 pm
people here think that the 2015 nuclear deal hasn't really benefited iran and it has caused a massive divide and that's why you saw such a low turnout in the parliamentary elections this year so the conservatives are generally opposed to the nuclear deal the very critical of the reformist reformist aligned government and that's been played out not only in parliament that's been on the wider political scene here in the country but also that puts a great deal of pressure on the reformist camp because the presidential elections are next year and if anything if the voting here so far as anything to go by we could see a conservative president of iran and that will change how iran deals with the west the west could be dealing with a president that opposed to the nuclear deal president that's really more skeptical in terms of the intention intentions of the europeans and the u.s. . thanks very much big correspondent there in the iranian capital. ok
