4:05 pm
move in. r.j. thanks very much abbi for that update for blowing in a rainy my bill in alabama. ok along the west coast of the united states they're into the 2nd week of botany while fons smoke from the fog has now even reached parts of europe the state of oregon is the latest hot spot and we'll hear from them now from estacado in fact where rob reynolds is now. there's not much left of talent in phoenix in southern oregon the ferocious wildfires of recent days have reduced most of the 2 small towns to ashes the worst thing i've ever seen in my life it's the same up and down the west coast near boulder creek california dozens of homes were incinerated heaps of rubble and covered chimneys and burned out vehicles all that remain near los angeles the so-called bobcat fire is only minimally contained it is burning close to the famed mt wilson astronomical
4:06 pm
observatory and outlying suburbs 23000 firefighters are battling dozens of major fires in california and oregon more than 4000 houses have burned in california alone and tens of thousands of people have been forced to evacuate and drifting over it all a choking shroud of smoke and ash it's making skies hazy as far away as new york portland seattle and san francisco now have some of the worst air quality on the planet we started to read it and 95 rather than just that quatermass because of our in s.t.k. to oregon 50 kilometers from portland police are allowing residents to return to their homes and assess the damage fires on this scale are unheard of in this part of oregon those have never happened i mean we've had fires you know open up in the national forth before they've never been this close to the canada and i've lived here 33 years they've never been that close to me candy evacuated days ago but her
4:07 pm
home is a total loss has some stranger call you on the phone and tell you that your head. this burning it's a total loss is it's not something you want to wake up to. amid the destruction signs of strength and resilience this is another aspect of this terrible disaster people coming together to support one another with donations of free food water and other necessities organizers say so many donations have poured in here they can barely give it all away. people here say they all have to look out for one another oh it is still. fresh. breads that anything that we can do to help out families that are needed now thank you you know with the fires and everything with kind of need to make sure that we're helping out as much as we can some of the organs fires are now partly contained helped by fever will weather but the trees will likely
4:08 pm
continue to burn until the autumn rains begin in earnest weeks from now robert oulds al-jazeera has to cater oregon. well let's him now from will steffen who's a counselor at the climate council of australia and he says there is no doubt the extreme weather that the u.s. is facing is being triggered by global warming. the way we say is that they're being strongly influenced by climate change and there are a couple of factors that play into this one where there was the extreme hot conditions which led up to these fires but also in northern california and oregon and dry conditions and this is sort of a toxic mix for hoarders we saw exactly the same thing happen in australia about 9 or 10 months ago when the enormous finest down here now we're seeing it on the other side of the pacific and it's a clear fingerprint of climate change i'm making what normally occur anyway fires much worse than that they were before this there's there's a skewness toward more intense tropical cyclones or her fins and there are really 2
4:09 pm
factors in play here one is because the atmosphere is warmer than it was 50 or 70 years ago it can actually hold more water vapor so this is super charging the storms to to rain down enormous amounts of water at the same time in terms of storm surges the storms are riding on higher sea levels than were around 70 or 80 years ago so this means that you have a double whammy of more water coming down in the atmosphere it's coming down on a higher sea level this actually really exacerbates the storm surge the flooding and the damage that these storms cause. well it could be explain what's going on here think about this hurricane it's just it's just sitting there is a dumping rain and it's the city of a daisy come on shore and that's exactly the problem with this nick it is just producing to rental amounts of rain let me show you this satellite here it is i mean just actually put the storm almost exactly of course it came on shore a few hours ago but it is really just not moving at all quickly so it just
4:10 pm
continues to deposit this torrential amounts of rain have a look at this pensacola beach which of course is in the florida panhandle already 629 millimeters of rain over half a meter of rain has come down it will continue to rain that total will continue to go up in the hours ahead it's a very slow moving storm it's going to continue throughout wednesday to push into those more southern sections of alabama the winds haven't really come down there still very strong sustained at 165 kilometers la moving slowly north northeast and as i say we've been talking about these flash floods of totals up to $700.00 millimeters this could actually produce even more than that if it continues to muse so slowly and the storm surge of course that is something that will continue to affect these coastal areas now throughout wednesday it will continue to work its way as i say through alabama and then eventually push up towards the northeast very slowly though still so really through thursday day and it begins to push across into areas of the carolinas before that of course had the across into georgia it will continue that journey northeast it'll head towards the carolinas as we go
4:11 pm
through friday by then it won't be a tropical storm but what it will do for the next few days of course is continue to deposit these torrential amounts of rain across the entire region that some areas could see another $300.00 millimeters we're looking at widespread flooding across the region yeah it's going to continue to cause serious problems is that right gerri thanks very much think you know the number of people affected by floods in pseudo has risen to more than 650000 tens of thousands of homes have been diminished by the unprecedented rise of the river nile and as its waters recede residents are struggling to clean up and make paths morgan reports now from culture . this is what the inside of the lattice house looks like now weeks of flooding has damaged or destroyed much of what he has he says he's got no way of draining the water out hiring a water pump is costly and he's lost too much already but he says moving elsewhere after the floods is not an option shadier than my house is about 3 kilometers
4:12 pm
away from the dial and i've lived here for a number of years. getting a plot to move elsewhere is costly with today's economy and me and my family can't afford it so all drain the water and hope this doesn't happen again next year. of the lost his home is one of dozens that have been damaged in his village of kalac in the southern part of sudan's capital hard to. torrential rains caused the nile to rise to levels not seen in more than a century the resulting flood damage to well over 100000 homes around sudan most were just kilometers away as the river burst its banks wiping out villages and towns and displacing more than 600000 people and it forced the government to declare a 3 month state of emergency some chose to stay in their homes despite them being filled with water the man waters have begun receding after nearly 3 weeks and people in the area are hoping to start the recovery but there have been problems with the drainage system and its weakness can be seen on the streets of out of tune after rainfall since the start of the rainy season 2 months ago some of the major
4:13 pm
highways have been cut off schools and health facilities have either been damaged or destroyed it's a site that repeats itself every year but meteorologists say this year's rains are unprecedented so dan's government says its focus is on helping those who've been displaced and preventing water borne diseases but more rains and floods are expected in the coming days and those displaced say the government needs to do more to help them. we want the government to give us a lot so that this doesn't happen again really who live in the banks of the mine we don't have the. ability to buy new plots it should be the government giving us a plot so that the problem is addressed by the a normal houses collapsed from off. till he gets a new plot this house is all that he has he says he'll do what he can to get the water out so that he and his family can return to their home and start rebuilding he will morgan are just there are hundreds of them. now the horrific culmination of
4:14 pm
failures by boeing's engineers and mismanagement that's the conclusion of a us house investigation which blames the plane maker for 2737 max crashes that killed 346 people report says a series of decisions by boeing employees led to the crash of a line there and then ethiopians and one flight within 6 months of each other report also blames play pace's blame i should say on the federal aviation administration for what it calls grossly insufficient oversight the entire 737 fleet is still grounded worldwide let's speak now to can be how could he joins us live from the white house and kimberly the findings by the house transport committee reveal some fatal decisions were made before and in between the 2 crashes . yeah yet another report and there isn't a lot that is particularly new here in terms of isolation but what this report is is the most comprehensive to date in terms of outlining the failures not only on
4:15 pm
the part of boeing the manufacturer but also on the part of the federal aviation administration or the agency that oversees aviation in the united states often referred to as the f.a.a. what they say in this report by house democrats in the transportation committee is there was a pattern of technical miscalculations management misjudgments an oversight lapses and also a severe lack of accountability when it came to the oversight now what this basically says is there wasn't one singular event that caused these crashes but instead it was the culmination of technical assumptions not only by boeing's engineers but also by the lack of transparency by the management so this is a particularly damning report for the company but also it cites gross mismanagement on the part of the f.a.a. so what next where do we go now with this. yeah well this is a committee report so their solution appears to be that this will be rectified
4:16 pm
through regulation that is going to be through the legislative process but you have to remember that the public is watching this very carefully there was an enormous amount of public backlash over the fact that there were more than 300 people killed in 2 different crashes october 28 team lion air flight 610 also march 2900 ethiopia air 3 o 2 and what we know from all of this is that essentially what happened in both of those crashes is the planes went into a nosedive which made it difficult for the pilots to pull out there was also a problem with the alert system that would have let them know there was a technical problem before it was too late all of this needs to be fixed house democrats say that they are going to take this project on through legislation to ensure that this does not happen again or it can be things from as we can be hard to put in there from washington d.c. . plenty more ahead on news on why thousands of refugees in lesbos
4:17 pm
don't want to relocate to a new shelter after a huge fire destroyed their camp last week. west african leaders appear to agree a time line for molly's mini treatment and to hand power to civilians. coming up to the boston celtics find the miami heat too hot to handle yeah we'll have the. refugees being moved into a new camp on the greek island of lesbos must be processed quickly so they can leave says the u.n. 12000 people were left without shelter when the giant went down last week 6 people due to appear in court over the u.n. representative in greece has asked for european help to house the residents there are fears that the new cap will suffer the same overcrowding problems as the destroyed site let's talk to stephanie decker who's live for us in lesbos and stephanie we saw yesterday perhaps what you could call
4:18 pm
a slowing trickle of refugees arriving at the nou camp of things changing now. it's kind of the same i think when it comes to numbers you can see a few people behind us but but it's been constant this sort of small mostly families at this stage i have to say with their children you see they're checking their papers they will then get tested for coronado the coronavirus once they enter and then they'll make their way to the camp the camp is continuously expanding at the moment we went in there yesterday and had a look at the early issues we were talking about earlier. is the fact that it's you know right on the shore very open to the elements but certainly at the moment this is the only option that the greek authorities are saying where they can ensure that the refugees in the migrants have you know food shelter and most importantly where they're going to process their paperwork a lot of people are still reluctant you can probably see them having bought some some some things in some supermarkets ahead and then they pull them back to the
4:19 pm
street where they're currently living those that are not in the camp because the conditions in moriarty camp the bar down were so desperate and we've had a visit here of the u.n. our head of the group office at the u.n. agency that deals with refugees and i asked him you know they themselves have criticized morea camp whether you know he was satisfied with this one but this is what he had to say it's not manageable to manage a camp with 5 times its capacity or even times the capacity to insomuch as we speak you need c.r. is a pushing the authorities to actually debate the process so that people do not stay too long in these places this is still our message we hope that any new camp does not go. does not become overcrowded because it's unmanageable. so it's overcrowded and it's also having to do with allowing these people to leave
4:20 pm
the island and the sense of beating up their paperwork the other side of this story is that basically the islanders are fed up they've been hosting this population for years now many people many of them want them to leave completely but certainly you know this camp is expanding still the army is expanding at its certainly seems at the moment and even the message from the greek authorities is that people are not leaving the island any time soon or a step further away from as well signs from recent stuff deca hundreds of his deed to jews trying to visit a pilgrimage to ukraine is stuck at the country's border with better routes ukraine is accused batteries of aggravated standoff every jewish new year tens of thousands of pilgrims travel to the ton of money to visit the to move rabbi naaman this year they were warned by the israeli and ukrainian government not to travel because of coronavirus restrictions of the pilgrims are now held up at the border and a calling on israel to deliver aid many have been left with no food money or shelter. u.s.

4:30 pm
a luncheon monley today. through to the. leaders condemned the coup shutting its borders and stopping financial transactions with a landlocked country following the meeting they greed to an 18 month transition to full civilian rule and the lifting of sanctions if a full transition team is put together in matters of days not months on stage this weekend the military didn't represent their roadmap in charge or where the military remains largely in power to civil society actors politicians and religious leaders . took the applause as a sign of their support however the influential and 5 opposition movement disavowed mali's military leadership in their methods. we denounced intimidation and democratic methods dating from a not of time as well as the. need to read the ship goes against the a spear ation filching. in july the un condemned these militaries extrajudicial
4:31 pm
killings of civilians they are meant to protect they along 4000 french and european troops are fighting armed groups in northern and central mali called in the fighting are over 6000000 mali in spacing in unprecedented humanitarian crisis counter-terrorism measures make it difficult for you many organizations to have a engagement with local populations and whoever is there to represent them this has become the challenge for miley's new leadership attempting to embody the aspirations of the people and gain legitimacy both at home and abroad. who joins us live from dhaka. progress for the road from. that's right i mean we're expecting a press conference at 1500 from the military leadership to discuss what they have
4:32 pm
discussed during that meeting and during that meeting colonel was expected to explain his wrote his roadmap to bringing back a civilian government but what's interesting is really the discrepancy and the difference from the the pressure put from the international community and the west african leaders who want to see civilian rule come back to mali as soon as possible and the 1000000 people who seem to be supporting this this military gentleman this military coup are joining me now is how about from the open society initiative for west africa to explain this very point why is there such a discrepancy such a difference between the perspective of the international community in west african leaders and the 1000000 people who are seem to be supported or supporting this popular coup but it's perfectly innocent i've been looking at how even. perceived
4:33 pm
as not corrupt and he government has been known for having a baby much in mismanagement of public notices he's close family his son notoriously while been involved in management off affairs but also was being. widely described as being very corrupt the other thing is that this was a failure to ensure security for ordinary man he ends the failure to address the issue off. why. part of the country being controlled by non-government forces and being controlled even by he had eased and so this was for as much of the condition betty were to come because it helps them got to be to form a government of what isn't. was this he was being and feet to cover now do you think the mountain people trust the military to bring back the state in areas that
4:34 pm
have that they've left and most importantly the west african body wants to see a civilian president civilian prime minister within days we're hearing it before tuesday is that really possible. money and they seem to be just the seen as a military who led a coup because they are not then we said leadership of the i mean that was placebo as well as being corrupt and the response was a failure of the state to ensure security but also because. they believe that they need. people who are who have clear hands and who seem to have a clear agenda in setting new ways off. managing affairs and for the military and was echo us when. my hands want to face the challenges of security of corruption what is it that it makes you an echo asked come not and
4:35 pm
type in was to them a process that they don't seem to abide sure but the military has come under heavy criticism notably by the united nations for its extrajudicial killing of civilians that they were meant to protect given those circumstances do you think that the 1000000 people will trust what the military has to say it seems that they seem to trust the military leaders who are led to cool while not associated reason military leadership as the generals these guys wouldn't know him as having batiks lee my match affairs manage or even being involved in corruption issues and he's a failure of politicians they think that maybe military. that i listen to relate to time and to put back as a country on track how about thank you very much from the open society in west africa now the leaders of west africa are closely with monitoring what's happening in mali there are sanctions in place the borders are shut financial transactions
4:36 pm
have also stopped also there are 5 elections coming up. before the end of the year and so many of those present that we're negotiating with the. military they don't want to see a precedent of seeing a military coup successfully taking power over a country in their region back to you nic. with all the latest on the situation in mali thanks very much indeed for that. now venezuelan security forces have committed crimes against humanity with the knowledge and support of the president nicolas maduro that is the finding of independent investigators commissioned by the un's top human rights agency their report says that police and military responded to protest against the duros government with tactics including extrajudicial killings disappearances arbitrate detentions and indeed torture it's based on hundreds of interviews with victims and witnesses the office concluded the crimes

4:38 pm
issues that needed to teach that we had these analysis of statements. with people. with the organizing missions. and your findings very much kate said present with and several other top officials. yes the findings are i think really clear what we see is that an illusion at least for policies that we've been used. to since 20. 1 an allusion to. count martin lying under oath which many many people want you don't to to know conceive the real association with terminal groups on the other policy in the aleutian to woman's to political suppression and the activities that were carried no not quite new to the organized in many ways this notion of women working in things like cultural institution killen's and some of the spontaneous we do find
4:39 pm
president the minister of interior minister of defense and the directors of one of the amount of these missions of intelligence or more which are they have no clue simply to supply them to the right so you say that the international criminal court should open investigation do you think it is actually possible to build a case for prosecution in an international tribunal. well just to be clear what we see is not sure what the shooting authorities in the field not now are involved evolution and. knowledge is including the innocent see what evil to do not should do that so in boston. we still believe it's more important though on the model and ideal situation we want independent and impartial decisions by the authorities. it's not ours to.
4:40 pm
make amends. next week you know man of the what we can see is that if your thought it isn't then it's more than what you. think quite clearly those with and the only senses mind you so investigations to answer your question. yes it is possible to carry out those investigations it's not ideal if you can't get on to the known but it is possible a number of nice and seems investigations have not only things. in addition still its own want to know more investigation so shouldn't think you can cause them a cooperating process we appreciate that it's a member of the fact finding mission for venezuela thanks very much indeed thank you the british prime minister has defended a proposed law that would allow his government to override parts of its withdrawal agreement with the e.u. or us johnson says it will help but poll the u.k.'s economical and territorial integrity european commission its chief says if the u.k.
4:41 pm
changes any part of the withdrawal agreement it will destroy global trust in the u.k. wonderland says a britain is throwing its good name to the wind by not respecting a deal that's already signed and approved. for more let's cross to 90 in london and said one glenn standing firm in her criticisms is boris johnson has been facing questions and criticism in part. absolutely pressure from many different quarters and a colonel in the european parliament the european commission head sort of on delay and quoting. margaret thatcher the previous conservative prime minister of a course saying that breaking international law is not in britain's interest and not in the interest of future trade deals just a very un subtle hint to boris johnson about how she feels about the way he's going about this internal markets bill which passed its 1st meeting here in the house of
4:42 pm
