an australian investigation into china's systematic repression of the week has tell the world on al-jazeera. this is al jazeera. i live there on a cloud this is a new life and coming up in the next 60 minutes desperate for shelter hundreds of refugees on a greek island begin the move into a new tent city as the debate about their future goes on. president wildfires are burning along the u.s. west coast but president donald trump insists the scientists are blaming climate change i've got it wrong. facing trial for marking a massacre some of hong kong's most prominent democracy activists appear in court
1:01 pm
every channel and square memorial. and a hint of life in the clouds above venus scientists make a startling discovery in experiments conducted out of pure curiosity. and i'm we are starting with all of the day's sports news chelsea are off to a winning start in the english premier league and version dortmund power their way into the german cup 2nd round with a 5 nil beating up. so that they spend a week finding shelter wherever they can but hundreds of refugees are moving into a new tent city on the greek on the flexibles has been hastily prepared by the greek government and by aid agencies after a fire swept through the giant moronic camp that was home to around 12000 people of greece wants to move most of them into the new settlement over the next few days
1:02 pm
but there's been a resistance from those who fear they wouldn't be allowed to leave the camp and they have been protests by others demanding to be moved to the greek mainland while in the past there are reports that some european nations have agreed to help let's unravel all of this we can speak to stephanie live in about steps 1st of all where people had been reluctant to move as i say but there has been some more movement in some numbers now. it's the most movement that we've seen so far the certainly not huge numbers nick but maybe out around 200 or so so far coming in to the new camp and this is because the ministry of migration they've started more of a p.r. move let's say yesterday they handed out leaflets to the refugees in various different languages telling them that this place coming here was the only way the only option they had a to have shelter food and water medical care but also their option to get off the island because only those that were inside this camp and registered would be able
1:03 pm
to continue their aside in processing their paperwork process there still remains a lot of skepticism that i have to say that we're definitely not seeing. a large number of people but you are seeing much more as i said than we've seen before because they believe that once they enter that camp they're going to be locked up they're not going to be allowed to leave they'll be no movement and that's what they're afraid of and they there's a lot of rumors about the fact perhaps they're taking the refugees phones away want to go into the camp doesn't seem to be happening but of course there's a lot of uncertainty a lot of mistrust a lot of people still remain the majority of people still remain sleeping on the streets nic there's a road just down there where they are and that's where you see them trickling in now when they come to the camp but the majority still remain certainly not here in this camp on the streets it is sense that for the refugees just one side of the story the other side being the residents of the island of those with those people who live there and they've been living with refugees for some years now one of they say about these latest developments. well they've
1:04 pm
taken it as an opportunity to highlight their frustration that they've been hosting this population for so very long that it's had an effect on the economy here on their livelihoods and on the tourism industry and they say that enough is enough and that the burden needs to be shared not just by the small island so one villager we were talking to yesterday saying that this is a tale of 2 tragedies but there tragedy is one that isn't empathize with let's say his forgotten i mean we've been spent some time in some villages in the evening where they were telling us that some of them will patrol their lab and all of trees this is an island known for making all the voile all the trees are everywhere because you know you have refugees now with nowhere to go who are taking shelter in these private labs will saval in tears yesterday morning clearing up a lot of the rubbish that's left behind so it's a very difficult situation for both sides and of course it has reignited the debate on the european level at an international level turn the spotlight back on these people who've been largely forgotten right so a little bit earlier we have been hearing in the past some european nations have no
1:05 pm
agree to what more do we know about. yes it seems that germany germany a country that a lot of these refugees want to go to it's the country they will. whenever you speak to people on banners they'll be calling angela merkel it really is sort of the holy grail when it comes to countries that the refugees or the aid to head to germany she needs to have now said that it will take a $1500.00 extra refugees and they're saying that that will particularly be families and women with children they have already accepted $1250.00 minors of course is around 400 minors unaccompanied minors who are let off the island off to the to the camp down vogue area and also a part of me has agreed to take 20 more minors off to the 50 that they've already agreed on these are small numbers when you talk about the bigger picture the fact that you have. this sort of limbo process of paperwork it was already slow it was
1:06 pm
too slow for these people but now certainly with the fires burning the county that that process is slow down again so i think we are seeing we're going to see that the president of your council here later today it has as i say reignited the debate that the burden needs to be shared is something greece is always said they are a border guard to their front line countries so to speak when it comes to the arrival of refugees of migrants and they'd certainly say that they need more help from the international community and to deal with the people presidential michel of the european council on his way to lesbos we understand stuff thanks for that. thanks a lot well at least 18 refugees are presumed to have drowned after their boat capsized in the mediterranean the u.n. migration agency says libya's coast guard intercepted 3 boats altogether on monday recovered 2 bodies in a total of 45 survivors a majority of them are from egypt and iraq or. u.s. president donald trump has been branded a climate mist as wildfires burning across the west coast in america have become
1:07 pm
a hot political issue he visited california for briefings on the growing disaster insisting that scientists are wrong and that it will get khuda democratic rival joe biden accuses trump of failing to acknowledge global warming's effects on the wildfires which have killed at least $35.00 people and destroyed thousands of. construct as this report. exhausted firefighters are doing what little they can to battle the monster inferno was consuming towns and homes and lives. monday's drier conditions and gusty winds meant no respite as nearly 100 fires continue to burn across 12 states get these otherworldly scenes are new california has now experiencing several summers of severe wildfires realizing predictions of a climate report released by the white house in 2018 but president trump who flew
1:08 pm
to california for fire briefings continues to deny manmade climate change exists it will start getting cooler but i will just you just watch i wish science or anybody else but. i don't think science you know is actually trump has repeatedly blamed the wildfires on democrats accusing them of mismanaging forest lands in western states as the election nears he's dug into the pro fossil fuel policies of his administration former vice president joe biden who seeking to replace trump in the white house challenge his record in a speech from delaware we have 4 more years of trumps climate denial how many suburbs will be burned in wildfires how many suburban neighborhoods will have been flooded out how many suburbs will have been blown away in super storms if you give a climber an arsonist 4 more years in the white house why would anyone be surprised
1:09 pm
we have more america blaze. but for the americans suffering fires in the west and new hurricane threats in the southeast the candidates campaign promises offer little consolation as destruction becomes the new normal. castro al-jazeera. so that's california in the united states the fire season is also a lot worse than usual in brazil's ponton a lot region the world's largest tropical wetland is burning at a record pace there have been more than 10000 fires across the pentagon since the start of september that's 3 times the figure compared to last year 16 percent of the region has been burned and the region's worst drought in 47 years is make it harder for firefighters to control the font it is one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet and it is being threatened by the fires now it's home to hundreds of animal species dozens of them endangered all right let's take this on we can speak now to tom burke who's chairman 3rd generation environmentalism and
1:10 pm
joins us live by skype from london. in north and south america the devastation is all too plain to see tell us 1st of all despite what donald trump says how climate change has affected these fires it's making the considerably worse right. yes it is indeed and we are increasingly understanding why that is because in a warmer atmosphere you have more water evaporates from the ocean and down watch it get back so you increase the loss again with switch or just cycles through the system and that means exactly as we're saying that dry areas get right back and when jerry has get well here we've all straight through because we've had extraordinary floods in china for instance this year as well as the fire so that iraq and all the rest but that's exactly what science is telling us will happen is
1:11 pm
actually happening it's not a picture of problem instead of now problem that can only get worse we don't know a lot or so mr trump's view the this is a case in california of poor forest management is completely wrong. yes i think about president trump on science he's completely consistent just as when he was told the virus was dangerous and he should act on it he said the science is wrong he's saying exactly the same because of climate change he sang the science is wrong and that means instead of doing something he does nothing and people's lives are lost and people's lives just rot that's a consistent and actually interestingly enough not just of president john but by and large with authoritarian leaders in many parts of colleagues even on either side. and it is not just the offices that it has the west bend the arctic is melting in the national hurricane center is tracking what is it 8 hearkens 8 storms
1:12 pm
this very members been a record hurrican years so far the effects to date on and oh yes yes that's right and these are just really hard and areas of the storm to come if we don't act very violently i think as you say the it's not change it's now the 2nd time in history that there have been as many times storms as there are at the moment in the atlantic and that since about 18 they started recording as in about the 18th fifty's so we're getting very clear message from the planet through the scientists about the need to act urgently and it's really very damaging to people's prospects when leaders like president trump simply deny the science in order to avoid having to say now of course tom 2020 was supposed to be a pivotal year for progress in fighting the climate crisis with a major climate summit which is perspective on that later this year in the u.k.
1:13 pm
it's all been foiled by the pandemic how much of a setback is that. actually i think in the current circumstances it's probably less of a setback that it might be a bit obvious to any years delay is about that late in. but frankly with the prospect that we might have a better president of the united states after the election in november then the langage match gary treats is that jobs that will have some progress made at that meeting i think donald trump falling out of but climate agreement and it would have weakened the prospects for an agreement this year we've got a somewhat better chance fortunately but something to thank fires for her well tom that appreciate your expertise in this thanks very much indeed tom but speaking to us that thank you. but i'm also ahead on the news hour including lighting up to learn millions of pakistani children had back to school for the 1st time in 6 months. and the dallas stars i understand take it to the stanley cup final more

1:16 pm
that have been displaced but with intensifying rains people here fear that these are temporary solution to a long term problem. whilst the mayor of commerce are in senegal says climate change is responsible for the destruction angry residents blame the state for its lack of planning. soon feels like a bad dream the states must come and build a sewage system so that they can be an end to the floods with months to go before the end of the rainy season has no intention of returning home fearing what is to come because hawke al-jazeera the car. thousands of people who lost everything in sudan's worst ever floods are calling for more help aid started to arrive over the last few days but those affected say it has not been enough at least 100 people have been killed and hundreds of thousands of homes are submerged reports now from quality. this is the impact to dance was flooding in

1:20 pm
500650000 so that's 150000 more people affected and it's also predicting that heavy rainfall are expected in the if you can high land more rain falls are expected in the coming days in the southern and eastern parts of the country as well so the u.n. says that the humanitarian situation at the moment is quiet dire they are risks of what of one diseases but more than that there are a lot of people who are still in desperate need of a big government has reached about 200000 people of those affected that's not even out of those who are in need of aid many of them without homes with that flood with the floods destroying more than 100000 homes so they are concerned about how these people who are affected will cope in the future if they say that if more rainfall if more flooding comes especially because they've already lost everything they don't know where to go and the government is already facing an economic crisis it says that it's turning to the world bank to the international monetary fund and to partners to be able to help but there's so many destruction and so many people in

the coup in mali what will we expect now. well the military leaders in mali meeting them for the 1st time like you said today to bring to the table what they were able to achieve in the last few days in talks with various sections of mali in society that include civil society political parties and opposition groups and specially of course them 5 are of people who've been that left protest against former president gbagbo because of kheta we understand and we heard from them but they're not happy with the resolutions we spoke al-jazeera spoke to one of the representatives of and 5 in that conference he said there were 5 working groups in that conference consultative forum they met suggestions and what was announced by the military leadership was totally different from what the group submitted and also dissolved would be seeing
1:25 pm
back and forth from empty 5 in the government what the military leaders are trying to going to convince ecorse leaders today by the way the meeting it's underway in this hour to accept what they think is good for the region and good for mali as well it looks like they are more tilted towards having a president military president to lead the transition program which echoes in the 1st place didn't agree to they wanted a civilian prime minister a civilian president to lead the transition which should be a lot more than 12 months and the modern military leadership is looking for 18 months to conduct this transition period as transition program in mali so we want to see how they were how they are able to bridge that gap and also address the problems of the opposition and try back in money the rights of the military to say say what their plight is is good for mali but what about the people of mali what do they make of it all do you think. well molly and
1:26 pm
a lot of my leaves are tired of these back and forth a lot of them some of them stated this during the conference they said they're not happy and of protest they're tired of all these but again if you look at the momentum the m 5 p. movement had in the past few months you realize that there is a lot of work that needs to be done in mali the military must convince them in 5 to be part of the process otherwise this is going to be a very very difficult situation for both sides and i believe is what leaders of the economic community of west african states will and this will analyze before they agree to anything with the military leadership in mali robert thanks for that put into the picture the interest reporting from. talking about you know jenny study by for the latest on harken salim what's going on is the story we talk about it's really the soldiers queuing up the lines i know you're out there we've got one name
1:27 pm
left and it looks as if we might actually use that name at the next couple of days so yes it's just been such a busy season this year and a rather dangerous one as well so let me show what we talk about here is a soft let me actually show you where all these storms all that they are and of course the same this time yesterday we haven't yet reached the but we have now there it is vicki coming off the west coast of africa so it is they were all the activity is that the woman we will focus on is sunny but as i say there's one name left on this list of 2020 and that is wilford so if the next system develops and it could well be amongst this massive cloud here if that develops into will fade and there's another storm off to it then of course we start with the greek alphabet but as we go through tuesday very little movement in particular from sunday that is the one we need to focus in on because this is continuing to say it's in the gulf of mexico i'm producing some tarantula amounts of rain it has just we can see a or should say the latest from the national hurricane center shows that it has in fact we can it is still a powerful her command got winds sustained at 140 kilometers an hour although see
1:28 pm
gusting stronger than that it has been moving really to the west northwest very slowly but it's become almost stationary so it's just churning up the wall more says this is why it has lost some of its strength because it is losing some of the fuel the water now is quite cool but in actual fact is going to be about the flash floods and also the storm surge because it's been sitting here for so long it is just depositing some torrential amounts of rain along those coastal areas this is g.m.t. times that is expected to make long full on wednesday probably sort of mid to late morning and it looks as if it will be louisiana on towards areas of mississippi but of course as a say the flash floods and the flooding itself in fact you can see the forecast track of the next couple days and the amount of rainfall again the national hurricane center nick they are saying this rainfall could be old historic proportion has been a tough year across the region doesn't have any thanks a lot. thank you our it's a lead here beyond al jazeera all the rage find out why president donald trump is a popular subject for books across america. and
