michel is expected to visit the new camp shortly well stephanie decker is at the new company as was and has this update. we've seen a couple of more people coming to the camp today moving in because of the p.r. that the authorities here have done is saying papers yesterday in all languages saying that the only way to ensure your safety and to give you food and shelter is for you to come to this camp and most importantly for them is that their papers will be processed only now if they are inside this compound they remain outside their asylum process will be put on hold it's a fact that the morea refugee camp the biggest camp in europe the situation was was desperate yes. schools and medical facilities but it was many this term presidents were described as well so what they're saying they don't want to go from that kind of a camp to the same kind of the situation here they're also afraid that this time they'll be completely locked up in the sense that they did or even a moment before before peronne and say that they're not going to get it here people

want to get off the island they want to take this opportunity that the fact that the campus burned down to get us off the island this is something that the locals here want as well in general there's a lot of frustration there is a lot of tension right now when it comes to the situation here when it comes to the refugee population and the local population but certainly the indications as of yet from the authorities here is that they're not going to be leaving the island this camp is still being expanded because it's the law to house 12000 people and if this thing is well at the moment they're coming willingly and there's not that many the greek minister of migration has said on greek television that it's up to the state to ensure that everyone gets put into this common if they're not going to come willingly and the police are going to have to get involved to put them there. well at least 18 refugees are presumed to have drowned off the boat capsized in the mediterranean if you had migration agency says that libya's coast guard intercepted 3 boats altogether on monday they recovered 2 bodies and a total of 45 survivors the majority of them are from egypt and morocco. ok

the signing ceremony of the much talent of agreement between israel and the u.a.e. is due to take place at the white house in just a few hours they have been protests against the. palestinian leaders have called the move a step in the back we'll have more news protests from it we're who's standing by for us with the latest reaction on the part west bank but 1st let's go straight to a white house correspondent can be hard to do standing by there in cambridge has to say this signing ceremony is coming up but what's been the reaction in the states to all of this. well you know a lot of americans are not following this this is not the major issue for them instead it is the economy kroner virus health care education but this is something that the president sees this important with less than 50 days until the u.s. election because this allows him to claim a foreign policy victory but many questions about what victory is really being achieved here the president calling this

a peace agreement but you have to remember that israel as it normalizes relationships in a formal arrangement with bahrain as well as u.a.e. was never in a state of war with those 2 nations and in fact already have a bit of a common interest in terms of their alliance against iran so many people wondering what peace is being achieved here also wondering what's not in this and why it's not in this agreement namely the fact that the u.s. president promised to bring about a deal to bring peace between israel and the palestinians that is not here also not here is the end of the blockade against qatar so there are criticisms there are also concerns that this is some way legitimises some of the human rights concerns particularly when it comes to crackdowns of bahrain against pro-democracy supporters and also the u.a.e. and its support for the conflict is well as saudi arabia's conflict in yemen so many people as particularly in congress are concerned that this is just elevating

that the president using this as a distraction from his own political problems here in the united states namely his handling of coronavirus looking to detract and turn the headlines in another direction so this is a controversy all showing this taking place in the south lawn of the white house still it's going ahead there will be about $200.00 people in attendance as the president tries to claim a foreign policy victory that will no doubt end up in many of his campaign materials as the united states moves forward towards the election in november or it could be thanks very much that's a picture in washington. let's see what's going on in the occupied west bank and abraham is live for us there in ramallah and some protests going on in washington d.c. when the sign of the signing ceremony is when it comes up what about there in ramallah . that recent public opinion poll that was published today shows a great palestinian and when it comes to the arab feelings many palestinians the

betrayal this is the word that they describe it deals with and they say that it only serves the interest of israel to feel abandoned by the deals and it follows that the majority of those who were polled believe that the palestinian leadership has lost its arab allies and that these deals are a failure of the palestinian diplomacy now several protests have been held in different cities across the west bank and another one is expected in less than an hour he had a lot where false to say that they have one message they don't want anyone to speak on their behalf how many palestinians we've talked to over the process of you they said we think that big you know that some by arab states had relations with these rate behind closed doors but they never expected that these deals with big public would be out now if that bill fishel so this is these protests will be showing

a message of rejection against their appeals that israel targeted thanks very much i need a room from ramallah thank you. more than 20 pro-democracy actors have appeared in the hong kong told charges a vigil welcome the 989 tienanmen square massacre to be part of reports now from home called where there are growing concerns over the freedom of speech. it was a familiar scene for many of those who arrived at court to hear the charges against them hong kong's most prominent pro-democracy activist have faced multiple charges over the past year over the many protests and events that been a part of the time they're accused of joining organizing and illegal gathering on june 4th to mark the 1989 massacre in tiananmen square the maximum penalty is 5 years in prison. this year the vigil was banned by the government citing the corona

virus outbreak but thousands of people went to victoria park where it's been held for the past 3 decades to join them prompted event hong kong is the only place in china where the 1919 and square crackdown on democracy activists is commemorated so openly and in such large scale. one of the city's best known activists leach again is known for helping the dissidents from the time he also organized the 1st ever candlelight vigil a year after the crackdown in beijing he remained defiant as he went into court we insist that point them in the kremlin every year with a tender light if not all clad. well you said that we have their culture where they express also a very fair manasseh and recall memory doleful sacrifice the case has generated much interest it's seen as yet another step in stripping away the city's freedoms and it's putting pressure on activists like joshua long who's twice been jailed for

leading anti-government protests much of the day's proceedings focused on the 2 people who did not attend the hearing and both of them are part of the activist or for a long split of. the the law fled to the united kingdom just before beijing imposed its wide ranging national security law on the territory on july 1st he's accused of violating the law on grounds of inciting secession and colluding with foreign forces while the prosecution stated that immigration records show that 24 year old sunny german has also left the city it was the basis for their request to ban all the other accused from traveling out of hong kong and it was denied along with concerns that rights and freedoms are slowly being stripped away is the fear that people in hong kong may never again be allowed to publicly remember the massacre in tiananmen square if you go home kong. thousands of people who lost everything in

sudan's worst of the floods are calling for more help started to arrive over the last few days but those affected say has not been enough at least 100 people were killed and thousands of homes are submerged and the river has risen to record levels but as the water recedes there's a threat of water borne diseases. and so the goal is one of several west african countries has been battered by heavy rain the government is now facing criticism for failings warn people to prepare for the floods large parts of the capital are submerged and thousands have been displaced from dhaka there's no. displaced and fighting the elements the rains took away their homes now it's taking away their shelter inside. just what she can. just. that's all i have left with fleeing the rains we had to leave our house behind the a devastation that we have lost what feels like everything. 3 months worth of

rainfall in a matter of 24 hours and a car journey jones neighborhood into an island sinking in overflowing sewage with roads turned to rivers the area has become almost inaccessible most have left their homes stranded are few families like the braving disease infested waters to save their belongings from looters who will not feed them they are we can't afford to pay rent anywhere else which we expect us to go we have no choice but to adapt to the situation. as early as february governments in west africa were warned by the un that this year's rainy season would bring floods yet people were not alerted of the storms al-jazeera has reached out to the cynically government and is awaiting their comment meanwhile the government announced it will release emergency funds to assist those displaced. in $20.12 the government allocated more than $1000000000.00 to tackle the problem of flood but people here are wondering what have they done with that money so far they've used it for these tents for those that have been

displaced but with intensifying rains people here fear that these are temporary solutions to a long term problem. whilst the mayor of como son 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 of what is to come. because hawke al-jazeera the car. still ahead here and elsewhere are detained but determined tween protesters in batteries who refused to give up until the president steps down. and as unprecedented wildfires burn the west coast of the us president donald trump insists that scientists blaming climate change have got

it wrong. and that's a very cloudy picture across much of north asia on the satellite but not just some very heavy rain yes again in the full cost now through wednesday we'll see some heavy downpours through central as the china gradually working their way east was. also a bad day across japan also across into the korean peninsula there will be the charles over some rain showers that again some very heavy rain working its way across the northeast of china that will continue to clean all these was on thursday and that is when the rain once again becomes very heavy through eastern sections of china just clipping the south of south korea and very heavy downpours again into western areas of japan so it could of course lead to some localized flooding i may have had landslides sickles across into nepal the rain has been very heavy there the last few days on the still more very heavy rain in the 4 calls throughout wednesday and

also extending once again into the northeast of india fairly widespread rains across much of bangladesh but really the heaviest downpours again through central states of india out across towards maharashtra so a wet couple of days in mumbai so than all that said we could just still see a listen on wednesday pops on thursday or into more showers into southern areas of pakistan but all the while those rains sit across the central and western areas so it's another what day on thursday in mumbai. all i want to stay with my son stephen i want rest internment and mass indoctrination your children are now in a process of reeducation or chinese assimilation forced labor and the use of high tech surveillance we're being complicit in the human rights abuses that are occurring in australian investigation into china's systematic repression of the

weakest tell the one on al-jazeera. ruth or or. they were going to what she argues there are or might of our top stories this hour and the prime minister of greece says it's time for europe to change its refugee policy his country is struggling to cope after a fire destroyed a massive compounds and 12000 refugees hundreds have begun moving into new chances for. the signing ceremony of the much touted agreement between israel and the u.a.e. is due to take place at the white house that had been protest against fear in gaza palestinian leaders have called the move

a step in the back. more than 20 pro-democracy activists who appeared in a 100 called force on charges of ritual marking the 189 tenement square massacre among them the media tycoon ching like joshua ball a case history teacher and until next month. u.s. president don't trump has been branded a climate arsonist as wildfires burning across the west coast become a hot political issue he visited california had 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 effects on the wildfires which have killed at least 35 people and have destroyed thousands of homes i ditto castor as this report. exhausted firefighters are doing what little they can to battle the monster inferno 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 give these otherworldly scenes aren't 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 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 knows 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 trump's 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 we have more america blaze. but for the americans suffering fires in the west and new hurricane threats in the southeast the candidate's campaign promises offer little consolation as destruction becomes the new normal. hi joe castro al-jazeera. well the fire season is also worse than usual in brazil's amazon region that have been more than $10000.00 followers across the world's largest wetland since the start of september or burden manoli has more. brazil's ponds no wetland is a magnet for diverse wildlife but now much of the animals habitats have been reduced

to charter ashes and smoke many on the able to escape fires that have been burning for months i think found floating on the quiet river thousands of animals have perished in a region that was considered a sanctuary for endangered wildlife and don't help much if they want to and want to be honestly one of the main difficulties here in ponce and all is to be able to get to the fire so even if i had resources we wouldn't be able to go directly to the flames. the pond is the walls largest wetland its network the river swamp and moshe's stretches across brazil power guy and bolivia this year more than 23000 kilometers of land mainly in brazil that's been going for 25. fantasizes and local volunteers are battling the flames day and night but strong winds are making their job difficult a lack of rain and drought is also adding to the problem when doing much the what

can and dry but has a large it up i got that don't we're putting it out trying to put it out but unfortunately we're not succeeding it's windy very dry and humidity is low it's hard i talk to fight isn't everyone was unanimous in saying that it's the worst fire that ever faced in their lives. brazil's president jaya both in a row is facing criticism by environmental groups of what many call his weak environmental policies human rights watch says 5 don't come naturally in the amazon but have been deliberately set to clear lines for agriculture it says both in our hasn't done enough to tackle the crisis under international pressure the president has banned all agricultural burning and said the army to tackle thousands of fire some remains but temporary relief last week but with heavy rain not expected until november many fear the 5 will keep biting more about a man the al-jazeera. poison russian opposition leader likes in the valley is awake

alert well enough to briefly leave his hospital bed he's been taken off a ventilator and is recovering at a hospital in ballan japanese government is urging russia to investigate off the test found that the valley was poisoned the safe hit area nerve agent. masta tensions in belarus have so far failed to stop the week's long protest movement of the nearly 800 people were detained in minsk last sunday the un commissioner for human rights condemned what she called the violent repression of peaceful demonstrations some has this report. and she's relatives are waiting for news at the a question our detention center where a few weeks ago hundreds reported being badly beaten and tortured 23 year old anna marie spent 2 nights here she was detained at a women's march last saturday together with dozens of others she says she was aggressively thrown into a van intimidated and threatened considering myself

a criminal at all i don't i don't think i've done anything bad so to get that kind of treatment is just. it's very human ising 18 year old i remember my was taken by mass police officers at the same rally standing with her arms locked with other women here in this video wearing sunglasses she was sprayed with pepper spray and there were spraying these guests 2 women women who had not not been except maybe flags like. posters but banners yes shortly after she was detained to warn her parents who then started to look for her we were not miserable we knew that we are innocent that we stand for truth so we had nothing to fear we were playing games guessing feelings and just really sitting and loving and. i'm proud of her but i want her to

finish her studies i have an operation already and even more but he realizes there's nothing that can stop his daughter instead of creating fear look a strategy of mass detentions and intimidation to stop the protests same soft had the opposite effect even people who are released after being violently detained now say they are more determined to continue to protest families and friends of detainees point out that since the protests began last month and was sponsored to the disputed presidential election something is different in belarus because you know city he's feeling you have to support each other you know just we were getting really close. after taking a rest ana maria sash she will join the protest again it's makes me only angrier and. i just. feel so much injustice in the system.

even after your treatment the experience you had here in the detention center you still go back to the store because they actually proof what you're trying to say. all the system is not working it's highly unfair it's highly illegal and i know that for these people for my parents for my brother. there. we'll. fight. and i know that. it's just a matter of time. after meeting these young women it becomes clear that even with us still in office has already changed step fasten al-jazeera. millions of students in pakistan who are returning to class after being away for 6 months because of the current are shut down all the students are back in class from tuesday or primary schools will reopen at the end of september pakistan's infection rate has dropped to around $200.00 a day from the peak of $7000.00. has more from the capital. it has

schedule and we've had to change a lot of how we can things i number of my students are not in school physically today they are still accessing on line and ironing and we have a number of families that have told us they would like to continue on line until december some of. this is a good step forward because. police will stop because of the lockdown even the university is not open properly as we have to come here alternative but i think it is good for us the next few weeks. to see whether the younger students will be allowed back on the campus what happened here maybe. the word the prime minister and the government policy of don't don't already work and if. the hope and expectation is that normal life may be able to move within the next

few weeks. now then scientists have detected indirect signs of life high in the clouds above the myth of experiment conducted out of pure curiosity they found a gas which is also found here on a pro as well somewhere in the clouds above venus astronomers have found something they never would have expected i was just stunned i'm a man i did this is an interesting experiment i've never really thought about detecting it high up in the atmosphere there's phosphate gas it's considered a biomarker or an indirect sign of life on earth it's produced by bacteria in oxygen starved environments and found in the intestinal tracks of many animals slightly smaller than our planet venus is our nearest neighbor only 143000000 kilometers away it's dense atmosphere makes the surface inhospitable a furnace with temperatures of 470 degrees celsius hot enough to melt spacecraft that have landed on it but the clouds are much cooler

a comfortable 30 degrees some scientists believe that microbes single celled organisms could be floating around the highly acidic atmosphere we exhaustively went through every possibility and ruled all of them out ok no. lightning strikes. meteorite small meteorites falling into the atmosphere others say that it's our scientific models that need to evolve to understand this discovery is funny because there was this doesn't mean that was same extraterrestrial life has been discovered on venus far from it it's possible that we're unaware of a chemical that produces this pos bean and we have to investigate in that direction a new chemical models that could explain these quantities for spain i think it probably isn't aliens i'm sorry to say what i hope from this discovery is it will kickstart more interest into the study of sr and perhaps we'll see another missions in us that will see is actually sending spacecraft into the atmosphere is to direct

it which is something that hasn't been done since 1990 something relatively easy to do since it's right next door and or chapell al-jazeera. but just how very clever headlines here and al-jazeera and the president of the european council has visited a new refugee camp on the greek island of less force showing the shells visit comes after the greek prime minister requested european support to deal with the refugee crisis a fire destroyed europe's largest refugee camp last week was home to 12000 people at least 18 refugees are presumed to have drowned off their boat capsized in the mediterranean un migration agency says that libya's coast guard intercepted 3 boats altogether on monday recovered 2 bodies in a total of $45.00 survivors a majority of them are from egypt and morocco so i mean certainly the much touted

agreement between israel and the u.a.e. is due to take place in the white house that had been protest against a deal in gaza palestinian leaders have called the move a step in the back. that's enough from our white house correspondent could be how can you how small the president calling this a peace agreement but you have to remember that israel as it normalizes relationships in a formal arrangement with bahrain as well as u.a.e. was never in a state of war with those 2 nations and in fact already had a bit of a common interest in terms of their alliance against iran so many people wondering what peace is being achieved here also wondering what's not in this and why it's not in this agreement namely the fact that the us president promised to bring about a deal to bring peace between israel and the palestinians that is not here also not here is the end of the blockade against qatar more than 20 pro-democracy activists

have appeared in hong kong court on challenges every vigil marking the 1991 and square massacre among the media tycoon jimmy life and joshua wall. more heavy rains and flooding a full cost in sudan the country is already dealing with this worst of a floods international aid started to arrive in the last few days but those affected say it hasn't been enough at least 100 people have died and hundreds of thousands have been displaced us president donald trump has visited california which has been hit by record wildfires he denied a link to climate change insisting scientists are wrong and that it will get cooler rival joe biden called him a climate awesomeness. but the headlines got more news here in alexandria right off to the streets by foot. i am sequences i quite like him because he's gay so it's hard to filter out the noise and keep track of what's really important the bottom

line tackles the big issues that are shaping the united states its people its economy and the way it deals with the rest of the world the bottom line only on al-jazeera. i am fairly ok welcome to straight into today we're looking at activists in iraq being in danger just simply for protesting some headlines queer eye which is why we're looking at today's story have a look here on my laptop there's some high profile assassinations of activists to see a summer in according to the workers against terrorism was killed for political reasons prominent female activists killed by unknown gunmen in badger we 2 you can hear more about in just a moment even a high profile terrorism expert has shown me.
