final report continue to emphasize the w.h.s. position that contagion from asymptomatic patients was not clear and was in any case rare. this is al-jazeera. out of there on the clock this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes police in lesbo start moving thousands of refugees into a new makeshift camp despite demands they be taken to mainland groups. damaged in power cuts but worse could be yet to come as floodwaters begin to build in america's southern states. fears of more flooding in sudan continues to witness heavy rainfall we live in one of the worst affected regions. also ahead how potential covert 19 vaccines are being used for political gains and warnings almost half of the promise supply has been bought up by rich nations. and i am we are

starting with all of the day's sports news. for his his 1st goal for barcelona since demanding to leave the club again. so that the police operation to get thousands of refugees off the streets and into a new tent camp has begun on the greek island of lesbos they've had to shelter wherever they can since fire swept through europe's largest refugee camp 9 days ago it had housed more than 12000 people that's nearly 5 times the number it was built for many of the homeless have been reluctant to move into the new camp fearing that they will be stuck there let's get the very latest we can cross to stephanie decker who's live there unless of course for us and steph so it's time to go say the authorities they seem determined to ensure that this happens now more people moving . yes i mean certainly if you look

just behind us there you'll see the moving in the line stretches all the way up the road which is the most that we've seen it since this calm was set up just a couple of days ago and this is because of the operation that was undertaken this morning around 630 this morning nic riot police came stood in a cordon formation with their riot gear with their shields telling the refugees to move you then had people in sort of plastic coated type suits hazmat type suits going to the ten's and gesturing for the refugees and the migrants to get up to pick up their belongings and to come here i think we can call it almost like a peaceful message of force basically telling them it is time it is time for you to move willingly but certainly the message was there visually very strongly that if you don't going to move we will move you forcibly at some point this is also the message that we've had from the authorities here in exiting that this is the only option for them where they can be safe where they can get food and water medical

attention and most importantly only the ones in this camp are going to be having having their asylum process you know restarted so it is we are seeing results and we definitely around over a 1000 have moved into the camp just today so we're going after wait and see as you say there's around 12000 people who need shelter from what we understand this camp houses around 8000 but certainly the operation seems to be working but there's still a lot of people who told us today this morning that they don't want to come yet well clearly very very difficult for the refugees there but the flip side of all this of course all the residents of lesbos migrants coming to the island for some time for some years is how the people who live viewing all of this. there's a lot of frustration you know some people are are still sympathetic but most people are not really they want them to leave they say that the narrative of this island is only become focused on the migrant issue and the refugee issue this is an island that used to be very well known for its olive oil you know we've seen volunteers

greek residents cleaning up the olive groves the harvest coming in the next couple of months full of garbage left behind by the mises and looking for shelter so it's 2 people stuck in a very difficult place and some of the more telling us is that the narrative of the islanders is forgotten and is not empathize with but we took a look at both sides of the story and this is how that balance very delicate is playing out. it's a story of 2 people those cleaning up this all of grove the islanders who've been hosting thousands of refugees and migrants for years now and those who try to find shelter here on this private land after their camp burned down to the ground last week. my life has changed completely we can all look here soon we should start harvesting the olives how can you harvest here it is not possible them and us we understand them but they should also understand us something that sadly isn't

happening. ever since fires through moria camp here on the greek are doing the best thousands of refugees and migrants have been forced to mostly fend for themselves so this gives you an indication of just how many people still remain on the street you've got men on one side you've got women on the other and what they're waiting for at the moment is food handouts by one of the n.g.o.s there is still very much a lack of cordon a to aid effort here and this is a very bad he said no i'm. not. ready but yeah the greek authorities have made it clear that everyone needs to be moved here to a new camp many are reluctant. they faced terrible conditions at moria and don't want to enjoy the same again the head of the un refugee agency in greece came to visit the new camp they had criticised the conditions in moria before it's not manageable to manage

a camp with 5 times its capacity or even times the capacity they provide the insomuch as we speak you need c.r. is a pushing the authorities to add actually make the process so that people do not stay too long in these places the local population is getting more and more frustrated that he's cocky nellie's is remora village he takes us from the village to where you can see the burnt camp. we have 2 human dramas here on fortunately it's constantly the drama and living conditions of the migrants that talked about him ever the locals who have gone through very hard times since 25th and they're frustrated these people should be put in a closed and controlled camera far away from the local population. many islanders were hoping that this meant a thousands of refugees would be moved off the island that is something many of the refugees say they want to but for now with the new camp expanding by the day

neither side is getting what they want stephanie decker al-jazeera lesbos island greece not an arkansas only done to 4 months worth of rain on parts of florida in just 4 hours there's been widespread flooding and damage to buildings as you might expect hundreds of people to be rescued and at least half a 1000000 are without power across florida and alabama that's enough from the gallagher. hurricane sandy came ashore in the early hours of wednesday morning slamming into alabama's coastline florida's panhandle also bore the brunt of 165 kilometer per hour winds as heavy rain and storm surges led to life threatening floods many residents were forced to evacuate to hotels as conditions worsened and the next year's academy people that were left there in their office you know things like that this week as a free man get there but. i just i feel for the people that are not you know i have this next story here so here's now we can do after making landfall it

continues to move at an agonizingly slow pace forecast to say that makes this storm extremely dangerous for much of the gulf coast a light in alabama showed a scene of devastation with severe flooding and damaged homes logan is still was at home in gulf shores where sally made landfall i just rode it out on the 1st 4 we started you're over windows start up. by the roof started coming off and siding was written i just rode it out last month louisiana was hit by one of the most powerful storms on record or again laura killed at least 8 people and cost the state billions and hurricane season isn't over until the end of november in addition to sally there are several other named storms 'd currently swirling in the atlantic that hasn't happened since 1971 meteorologists here in miami will soon run out of pre-selected names for this hurricane season and be forced to use the greek alphabet that's only ever happened on one other occasion florida's governor is warning residents not to be complacent as the storm moves across the state

hurricane charley is the full storm to make landfall this year scientists say climate change is making storms like this wetter and slower a potentially deadly combination and agalloch a al-jazeera. well jenny harrison our expert has been tracking this on for us what was it for 4 months of rain in 4 hours yes well i mean we would talk about me yes that is tonic i mean it was heaving so slowly so it was just producing these torrential amounts of rain and as it just came from and it's not me very quickly now either so let's have a look and see where it is going because this is that on the satellite this massive cloud you can say this is it and it isn't really moving slowly and what it is doing of course is taking all this very heavy rain along this path the whole journey it will take really 2 or 3 days before this whole system is out of the picture because as it continues to work its way east was it'll take that rain with it up through the mid atlantic and then eventually off the far northeast coast once that clay is then we have got cleric a nation so at least all of that dry warm weather will give some of those flood

waters a chance to begin to recede but in terms of how much rain is coming down over the next 2 or 3 days you can see the path of the storm is going to take a look at another 200 millimeters maybe a bit more in some areas than this of course that again is enough to reduce flooding so we could have flooding in areas all the way through alabama georgia south carolina and also north carolina but now i just want to take you back down to the gulf of mexico you see this now this is for friday but this mass you can see here this could be the next storm to develop the national hurricane center giving this a 90 percent chance of developing into the next tropical storm it might become a tropical storm. but this is something something we'll continue to watch because we're not just watching this we're also watching this one this is teddy out to the east of there is the key that is still expected just to weaken and disappear but teddy this is not already this is a very powerful hurrican and this is you can see is on its way north northwest it should stay clear of the caribbean but it looks as if it could be heading to the me

just say nick will be watching that and also possibly this new one in the gulf of mexico yeah absolutely love going on down there is no down there in the southeast of the united states and on the other side of us hot dry weather is pretty efforts to contain dozens of wildfires burning in all 3 west coast states smoke from those flames has caused some of the world's unhealthy is equality reynolds reports now from portland in oregon. the noxious cloud of smoke and ash choking the west coast has drifted in the upper atmosphere as far away as europe but nowhere is the smoke as bad as here in portland it's really bad we have never had an air quality of event like this since 1985 which is when the department of environmental quality started tracking our air quality our previous record for poor air was set in 2017 we are 7 times worse than that. this environmentally conscious city

london and charlie what more can you tell us about. well yess team of originally thought that he had ingested poison in a cup of tea that he had at the airport but they now say he was poisoned even back in his hotel room in that siberian city of tom's video has emerged of his supporters sweeping that hotel room using protective gloves hours after they found that the valley had fallen ill and the scene collecting a number of water bottles now they say that they wanted to bag up as much evidence as they could to ship it out of the country before russian f.s.b. agents could take them and tests have shown that some of those bottles did can turn contain the nerve agent novacek the burra trees in france germany and sweden have all confirmed in the valley was poisoned with novacek but russia still denying this saying that they have yet to see any conclusive medical evidence so germany is drafted in the help of the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons

they've taken their own biomedical samples from the bounty and they say they will be testing those samples in their own devorah trees and what this means by bringing in the global chemical weapons watchdog is that independent testing can happen and the findings of those tests will be very hard for russia to dismiss now novacek is actually on the list of controlled substances banned by the convention against chemical weapons to which russia is a signatory novacek was added in 2018 after the poisoning of surrogates cripple here in the u.k. in saul's free and what the go p. c. w. can do is send inspectors in to any signatory country to search for evidence of the production of banned substance so we will be keenly looking for the results of their own tests seeing what they prove and what they decide to do with that evidence and surely what more do we know about the state of these health.

well he's now out of the coma he is awake he is. and apparently he's been getting out of his bed from time to time in the hospital in but then he's off the mechanical ventilator but in the photo that we've seen he is looking very thin he'll no doubt have some muscle wasting from being in that coma for so long perhaps a little bit of orry disorientation and because of the ventilator he's been on it could have affected his voice box that he might struggle to talk and the doctors there are saying that although he is recovering well he could suffer from some long term health problems from the poisoning and this is a man who in the past has had chemicals the bone in his face by. kremlin supporters that partially blind to 10 this is a man who was also. suspected he'd been poisoned while he was in police custody in russia last year that this is a man who is now recovering well and saying that he is preparing to return to

russia for a charlie thanks very much a big challenge with. the. mollies new military rulers say they've started the process of naming an interim president that's off the west african leaders threatened a total embargo on the landlocked country members of the 15 strong economic community of west african states that i was i gave the coup leaders 18 months to hand over power to a civilian government in exchange sanctions will be lifted but mostly if the military puts together a transition team within a week the reports from dhaka in neighboring senegal. well they have just a few days to try to find a president a prime minister and so they said just just as we heard that they're going to appoint a committee now that will decide on who will be the president and who will be the prime minister and who will be the vice president now who will be members of that committee but we don't know will that be members of the military will they be

appointed from members of civil society or the opposition it seems that it's an additional hurdle for this military leadership that seeking to gain recognition at stake here for them is to find a new leadership that will bring security to mali and and to jumpstart their economy to reassure the population and to bring back this state where the state has so longer so so far been absent a top u.s. government officials could face war crimes trial issues for approving weapons sales to get rid of the new york times that the state department had full knowledge of a pattern of indiscriminate civilian killings by the saudi emirate coalition use paper is also accusing the trumpet ministration of systematically suppressing findings by internal watchdogs to prioritize on cells finkelstein in is the director of the center for ethics and the rule of law at the university of pennsylvania and she says a recent weapons deal with the u.a.e. may worsen what's happening in yemen. the u.s.

has a long history of supporting both the u.a.e. on the saudis but particularly with respect to the war in yemen this is a murderous war numerous organizations have signaled the fact that there are war crimes being committed there are civilians and children being directly targeted in this war by the saudi coalition and the u.s. is selling weapons to the saudis and the u.a.e. that are being used to the extent that we know in this war now the inspector general report signals in the body of the report grave concerns about this and suggest that congress should have been notified of this a classified section of the report which of course i have not seen presumably sets the south in greater detail the current agreement with that has just

occurred with the u.a.e. involving weapons sales would presumably exacerbate these problems which have gone on for a while and indeed accelerate them weapons sold to the u.a.e. may find their way to gamble and the u.s. would then be directly complicit in war crimes and atrocities that are being waged against a civilian population. one of the 40 kind of experiment from running in ivory coast elections says there will not be a vote unless they're on the ballot for prime minister soros insists his candidacy is irrevocable his call for protests against president. to continue court cleared the way for the president to run for a 3rd term even though the limit is to pretoria as this. there's a tense atmosphere in the city of bonior fighting between supporters of president

alison with tyra and opposition activists has left people frightened and resulted in the death of a 22 year old had gone to buy something and. we decided to demonstrate like any ivorian in relation to the 3rd term of the current president a young brother had gone to the shop and when he came back people shot him in his stomach judy not be says he was also injured by supporters of the president. in memphis he said our youths were demonstrating i stopped and told them to calm down suddenly our source i'm a link a kids who were very excited coming to get me with their cars they broke my leg. protests have intensified after the country's top court cleared the president to run for a 3rd term even though the legal limit is only 2 the court also rejected 40 of the $44.00 candidates the next month's election including former president laurent gbagbo and one time rebel leader turned prime minister game sorry but those

supporters say people mustn't lose hope. e.d.'s launches an urgent appeal for the mobilization of activists and supporters of the parties and organizations that are members of the platform of democrats from all sides and also of the people of the ivory coast to block the forfeiture and dictatorship of mr our son ouattara. and they refused to concede defeat to what tara after the 2010 election triggering a civil war his supporters say his continued exclusion from politics and were tyreese bid for a 3rd term is the destabilising ivory coast. is there well let's get the very latest on this we can go to what interests is following the story from the nigerian capital of abuja. the former prime minister who as i said earlier has been banned from running he's been holding a press conference in paris tell us what he said and how it may affect the

situation on the ground. well given solar rays done a lot of issues in his press conference 1st of all he said there will not be a presidential elections in ivory coast on 31st of october he said when he was asked whether he will boycott the election he said no they would be no election and that they would the question of him being a candidate or no candidate doesn't even rise so what he's saying that is that there will be if there is no war on himself on the ballot there would be an election bad and whether asked if he will participate alongside what in the elections he said president ouattara candidacy is illegal and unconstitutional and therefore you would participate what he wants immediately is the dissolution of the election commission and that the international and international observers should money to audit activities of the electoral commission in ivory coast apart from

that he also raised the issue of rolling prophecies calling on his supporters and supporters of other political parties to embark on a role in protests daily protests in ivory coast until what decides to take himself out of contention for the 2020 elections and he also accused the government of trying to reenact the scenes of 2012 sort of 2010 when. then president of ivory coast refused to hand over power and insisted that he would be president as a result a civil war was ignited and that more than 3000 people died in ivory coast he's calling on the african union and the economic community of west african states to intervene so that sanity can be brought back to ivory coast and meanwhile he said they are trying to explore possibilities of forming a coalition of political parties against president want to so the next few days can

determine whether or not this happens and what it will. i mean why have recourse already we've seen violence sparking outrage. igniting in various parts of ivory coast so these coming weeks will be very critical to the elections itself and of course the future of ivory coast growing up and thanks very much some interests thanks that they are. there are government has launched a campaign to reduce the number of illegal weapons the aim is to reduce crime but some tribes say disarming them is again said traditions reports from baghdad. these are members of iraq's special task force looking for illegal guns in the south eastern province of miss sun they're eager to find them so they search of people's homes and commercial sites like this factory trying to uncover any where people could hide weapons they've set up extra checkpoints here to make sure unregistered guns are not smuggled out and this is what they say they've

confiscated so far let me just run in the we've seized more than 30 weapons made 6 arrests and confiscated 4 vehicles without license plate this operation is also happening in the neighboring province of basra which has seen the biggest increase in violence in recent weeks but tribal feuds lack of facilities and corruption have led to anger and protests here and a recent rise in targeted killings of high profile activists forced the prime minister to travel to basra to reassure people the government's will do more. targeted killing of prominent iraqi scholar his family hashmi in july outside his home in this neighborhood in baghdad by gunmen on motorbikes prompted outrage across the country the government has been accused of not being able to protect its citizens from armed groups which is why many are turning to their tribes for protection this is why disarming tribes in iraq is not an easy task your name

although. the issue of having weapons in iraq is not a new phenomenon it's part of our culture especially the tribal culture so disarming tribes will require special initiative to convince tribal leaders that weapons position has a more negative impact on the entire society and a long history of conflict has also created a market for illegal weapons. he is one of the main tribes in the country in baghdad its leader explains why the government's plan won't work. i don't believe they will succeed it is considered an insult to take away the weapons of any tribe veterans are considered the symbol of all iraqi tribes it is because the government locks power to protect people and in force the rule for that they use their tribes to settle their disputes and sometimes we need our weapons to settle disputes back in may sound despite the challenges facing these forces the search

goes on to rid the country of illegal weapons or such a party al jazeera baghdad. still to come here on the news out. i think you made a mistake when you said that it's just incorrect information yes makes messages from the white house says donald trump contradicts one of his top health officials over whether coronavirus vaccine will be ready. and the king of clay is back on the tennis court for the 1st time in $200.00 days so there will tell us how we got along this border. this is a story about a small village the society that inhabits it and 2 of its most important characters the villages telephone and it's a mix of keep. discovering new filmmaking talent from around the globe you find in latin america delves into this cuban my culture it's only long for the song world

be allowed from next month our public health response is now focused on further reducing the transmission of the virus and preparing for possible research which we have now taken a decision to keep increasing coronavirus testing due to the decline in new infections and that is use pressure on our health facilities. we now have sufficient testing capacity. to expand the criteria for text testing. further a bit more from for me the miller in johannesburg south africa has endured a 6 month long lockdown one of the strictest in the world and it's had a severe impact on the economy one study suggests that after 3000000 people have lost their jobs while the economy contracted by around 51 percent in the 2nd

quarter me south africans are worried about the country's economic future and it's hoped that the easing of restrictions will boost the economy create jobs and allow for the best possible recovery at this point and this is been the emphasis from president. over the lockdown that there's been great concern around south africa's economy now one of the biggest announcements made is that borders will open and international travel will be allowed but of course the government has says that it will be a gradual easing of travel restrictions there of course we want to be very cautious people visiting south africa 2 would have to have a negative code 19 tests before their arrival if they don't have that test they would have to observe

a mandatory quarantine once they arrive in south africa china's government says it may have a crow virus vaccine publicly available by november hundreds of thousands of chinese have already been injected with experimental vaccines with the least 3 companies there in the final stages of clinical trials but some are accusing china of using a potential vice in to expand its influence globally katrina you has more from beijing. while the world awaits a coronavirus vaccine hundreds of thousands in china are receiving their 2nd job of one being tested there medical workers military officers and civil servants were among those given emergency use approval for experimental vaccines earlier this year 9 of the over 30 coronavirus vaccines undergoing human trials around the world are being produced in china china's center for disease control says 1 may be rolled out to the public as early as november but you know china is at the forefront of the whole world in the development and production of vaccine there are currently 9

types of kobe $900.00 accidents in the world that have entered a phase 3 and china accounts for 5 numbers of domestic coronavirus cases have led to chinese companies competing late stage phase 3 trials were brought state and company sign a farm began testing in the united arab emirates in july frontline medical workers there have also been given emergency doses. vaccines are also being tested and morocco are thousands and brazil and bangladesh have been given vaccines by the company sign of back while the chinese military affiliated can see no biologics is conducting tests in russia and saudi arabia china says it's developing that seems for the common good but there are a few western democracies involved in trials partnerships with chinese companies analysts say beijing is instead ties in so-called friendly nations and using a potential vaccine to expand its influence philippine president. says he pled to

be given early access to a chinese vaccine ruling out confrontation with beijing over territorial disputes in the south china sea chinese leaders have promised similar access to indonesia and countries along the river but not everyone is convinced. i don't think the international community will have. to accept. these kind of facts and diplomacy is potentially more risk much riskier it and mask diplomacy china c.d.c. says vaccine trials are going smoothly and no side effects have been documented but medical experts in the u.s. and u.k. have described china's emergency use program as problematic saying effectiveness cannot be proven to for all testing is completed chinese al-jazeera beijing well as the race to develop a vaccine hot there's growing concern that global competition will prevent fair distribution when it's available oxfam says the world's wealthiest countries that

accounts for 13 percent of the world's population have bought more than 50 percent of the promised vaccine doses and even if all trials succeed 2 thirds of the global population will not have access to a vaccine until 2022 it says where hundreds of potential vaccines are in development or russia's approval of one last month was greeted with skepticism internationally and an unexplained illness to a patient paused to trials by astra zeneca and oxford university donald trump meanwhile hopes that some americans can get a job by his reelection attempt in november he's contradicted the director of the u.s. centers for disease control who says distribution will not be possible until next summer let's have more on that with mike hanna the c.d.c. director here before a senate committee and emphasize the importance of wearing a mask and i might even go so far as to say that this face mask is more guaranteed

to protect me against covert there when i take a covert vaccine because the imminent unicity may be 70 percent and if i don't get an immune response the vaccine started to reject me this facemask will on the subject of the vaccine redfield said one could become available before the end of the year but only in a limited supply if you're asking me when is it going to be generally available to the american public. so we can begin to take advantage of vaccine to get back to our regular life i think we're probably looking at 3rd late 2nd quarter 3rd quarter 2021 but the president publicly disagreed with the c.d.c. director on the issue of mosques and the time scale when available bechstein no i think you made a mistake when you said that it's just incorrect information and i called him and he didn't tell me that and i think you got the message maybe confused but president

maintain the release of a vaccine is imminent we're ready to go immediately as the vaccine is announced and it could be announced in october could be announced a little bit after october the but once we go we're already presidential candidate joe biden says he would side with science rather than trust the president who he says has frequently misled the public one thing is certain we can't allow politics to interfere with a vaccine it anyway. americans have had to endure president trumps incompetence and dishonesty when it comes to testing of personal protective equipment. we can't afford to repeat those fiascos when it comes to a vaccine when it occurs the stakes are too high. president trump has made no secret of the fact that he wants a vaccine in circulation before the november election he's repeatedly expressed anger at restrictions imposed on his campaign by the virus and is now back to

holding full scale rallies with many including the president rejecting the use of mosques final clinical trials for potential vaccines have only just begun they involve tens of thousands of patients and importantly at least 2 doses have to be administered over a period of time it's impossible for the test to be completed in the time line infection by president trump which raises a question of whether the president is considering cutting short protocols for the testing of new vaccines that have been established for decades mike hanna al-jazeera washington. reveals a lot of ethical questions here about the role of a vaccine so let's explore that with dr julian savulescu who's a medical doctor and professor of practical ethics of the university of oxford joins us live by skype. thanks for joining us here now the politicize ation of this particular plate as we've just been hearing in the united states moving to get it

in place before the election the thing is right or wrong no nation in the world is going to give vaccines away before it gets its own house in order as it. no it that's absolutely true i think it's important to get the enormity of this project in perspective nobody has it developed a vaccine against a corona virus despite decades of attempts so it really is a challenge to develop both an effective vaccine and a site vaccine and that's what we want we want a site and if they get it back say not a national back sane or chinese back scene or american vaccine and i think we really need to be focusing on the psyche and the ethical see not on where it's come from. and other organizations across the world according to what they call a people's vaccine which is available to everybody free of charge and distributed

fairly based on need which i think is what what your saying there is certainly where the proposition but really how practical is that how could we make that happen well i think what you see elsewhere in pharmaceutical delivery is the companies want to. return of return on their investment and i think initially disturbing the vaccine you know why that some profit for the companies is a reasonable thing but you can also stops it on the global distribution so you need a mix model where for countries who composite a distributed free country so you can i think it's very reasonable to require some level of. it is simple and that it's globally distributed you're not going to solve this problem by back. you know a small part of the world you only want to control the seas is to eradicate it globally as we did with smallpox and it was achievable there so it should be

achievable recovered nonce any right thing is apart from the ethical considerations is a real danger of rushing a vaccine through isn't the. oh i did could be catastrophic not only for the participants in what one of the one of the $500.00 models uses and that no virus which is which is a different part of virus to deliver the genes into the cells that that side bar a schools the death of jesse gelsinger 19. there at the trial so the stakes are high there could also be long term effects of coffee supplants so sometimes you know you might not see that side of things or months or even years. delivering genes into cells can disrupt the d.n.i. and it intially pools cancers so there are real risks to the participants but there's also a response to everyone in terms of undermining vaccine culture that you know if the

vaccine doesn't work sufficiently and the disease clear that it's up or if the back same you types and colds and side of things or of course. the people you could undermine all that. and confidence in signs generally so there are huge dad saw ads to rushing all with something which is is often not effective all or not or not sufficiently tested a site that the enormous challenge is still very much a had to do it in service to preset your expertise in this thanks a lot of legend. schools in the brazilian city of rio de janeiro have reopened but nobody knows how long and full legal disputes between mez governments and trade unions have left students and teachers in limbo and want to keep as more. the deadly pandemic kept this school closed for 200 days but not anymore children are back in class despite brazil remaining the
