bring him says he has the backing to topple the prime minister and form a new government. and thousands displaced and villages destroyed now fears that the floods in sudan could trigger a food crisis. and i'm lee harvey with all of your sports news tokyo it's a one pick organizers are meeting with japan's new government and the n.b.a. playoffs the comeback is on yet again for the denver nuggets as they beat away at least. 2 weeks off to europe's largest refugee camp was destroyed by fire the european union is set to unveil a new plan on how it deals with the 10s of thousands of people searching for a new life the current rules have seen a disproportionate burden on mediterranean nations such as lol to italy and greece the u.n. says the news efforts so far have often led to devastating human. consequences we
1:02 pm
haven't. been meeting from paris but decades in the greek island of lesbos where thousands of refugees a stranded. people there how closely are they watching the outcome of this meeting how important is it to them. all or to be honest most of them don't know that it's actually happening they do have access to internet but it's not something some may be aware but certainly the majority know what the problem is here is that people are left in these camps more a camp atrocious conditions this one already people are complaining that there's only one meal a day that there's no mattresses on the floor only very thin blankets it's going to get colder it's right on the shore so you could have been very windy here the last couple of days today it's back to normal but you can imagine what winter is going to be like it has to do with a very lengthy process of this is side in process and i think it's also important to remind our our viewers it seems people seem to think that once asylum is granted
1:03 pm
that everything is fixed and everything is perfect it's not still or there's still massive questions when that happens people are left on their own they call and for example rent let's say they they leave the island they go to athens they want to rent a house if they have the means to do that they then have to get a tax number but you can't get that without a permanent address which they don't have so many of them again and up homeless without any recourse it's very very tricky so and you will you know trying to figure out the ins and outs of this process speaking to people speaking to lawyers say well how does it work how quickly does a sign and get given what are the terms of rejecting it what happens and you have a lot of people here also who've had their assigned claims rejected and the moment nobody can really get off the island because of kuroda but greece will tell you that they have been left to deal with this on their own this is what they want they want to share the burden it's not only the authorities or it's also the people here the people of the island are fed up they're tired they don't want to do this anymore and of course it's just 2 weeks off that hugh. the more
1:04 pm
a refugee camp nou camp has been build have all of the people who were made homeless by the 1st 5 being we housed into the new area. most of them most of them have now been housed here in this county it's around 9000 people according to the authorities they are being allowed in and out of the camp to go into grocery shopping and things like that but certainly the conditions in the camp it's still a camp that's being set up it is early days but there's issues we're told with running water this issues we're told with food distribution at the at the end of the day you have a very small area packed with thousands of people the sanitation is an issue toilets we've seen videos again you know thousands of people in a small space with very limited facilities so they're concerned this is going to turn out in the long term just as bad as the other camp was and it's even even more open to the elements there is also no shade here so these are questions going forward again all these people want to get off the island so many people would tell
1:05 pm
you that moria and this is a symbol of the failure of e.u. migration policies so what we understand what we may be expecting today is something different almost to expedia those who had their sign of process rejected to get those back to their home countries to try and share but it's still not going to be compulsory because of course the e.u. is divided when it comes to migration policy deeply divided so i think it's going to be difficult to see whatever is decided in brussels how that's going to trickle down here and how it's going to improve the lives of these people ok many thanks indeed let's cross over now to natasha butler she's in paris and we can do a little bit more about what is indeed being talked about in brussels with the commission has been talking about reforming migration policy for a while now what's can we expect from this new plan. well you heard stephanie touched on a key point there and that is that for years the european union has been deeply divided when it comes to the issue of migration of asylum we saw that in 2015 we're
1:06 pm
seeing that there in lesbo side of the more a camp and what the e.u. commission says that it's going to propose this is migration pact which in fact is going to build the foundations of a common migration policy it is a use commission attempt to try and fix this and provide a united common policy now all we can expect if we understand there will be great focus on more prevention trying to stop people from leaving their countries of origin in the 1st place they'll be more deportations more repatriations land and see the borders of the e.u. will be a bolstered so they'll be more measures for that but it really a key component of this pact we understand is the redistribution of asylum seekers around the european union it is a contentious issue it was thought that this might be done when a mandatory man and the e.u.
1:07 pm
member states would have to take in asylum seekers but we understand it will be done in a way in which member states will be offered for example cash incentives to try and encourage them to take in refugees as we've just heard from staffing levels and situation for many thousands of people is so urgent how likely is it that all 27 member states are going to sign off on this pact. it was always the problem of anything that happens when you come when you're talking about e.u. policy because those 27 member states have to reach consensus for that policy to become a reality in the main sticking point has always been how do you redistribute asylum seekers around the e.u. another commission knows that countries like are hungry and poland have repeatedly refused to be forced to take in refugees there are unlikely to change their position so it seems that what we're going to have with this migration pact is in fact a compromise where the isn't forcing those countries to take in refugees and for
1:08 pm
rights activists where many say that in fact it's a watered down version of what this common policy could actually be rights activists also saying that the problem is with focusing so much on prevention stopping people from coming to the e.u. means that there are perhaps going to be too few opportunities for people to migrate to the e.u. legally and not just skilled workers but also low skilled workers rights activists saying there should be more legal pathways for people to reach the e.u. so they're not taking these treacherous dangerous often fatal journeys that live for us in paris many thanks and we will be bringing a statement by the european commission president de lay in coming from brussels in the next hour and we will bring you that and when it happens let's move on to some other news now the russian opposition leader alexei navalny has been discharged from hospital where he was being treated for poisoning the kremlin critic spent 18
1:09 pm
days in a coma after falling ill in russia last month german experts believe it was poisoned with a nerve agent novacek moscow denies involvement. mccain joins us now live from berlin and di what are you hearing about the violence situation. well we've been hearing in the reading rather in the last half an hour or so from mr novelli himself who's posted on twitter and on his account on instagram his reaction to what's happened in our region a little bit of how to translate it's from him from the original russian but he says that the 1st time they took him to the mirror after he had spent $24.00 days in intensive care he felt as though a character from the movie the lord of the rings looked back at him from the mirror and it was not an elf he says he says he felt terribly upset and thought he would never be discharged but the doctors performed their miracle he worked with the
1:10 pm
physiotherapist tried to sleep as much as possible and then finally the day came he says for a recess so he's out of 'd the hospital behind me is no longer being treated as an acute in patient now for him the process is about rehabilitation but the interesting thing is that when he describes some of the problems he still suffers from right now of coordination mental and physical coordination he says there are certain bodily functions he can't perform he says he can catch a ball of someone throws it to him but he can't form the thought that allows him to throw the ball back as it were remember that fits in with the sort of action that the navi chalk agent performs on the human body is attacks the motor neuron functions of the human body which explains quite why it's taken so long for the antidote the actual pain that was put into his system by the doctors and shot it say to have its affects on now we know that he is out of the hospital that he's
1:11 pm
going into rehabilitation outpatient basis he says he wants to walk in the parks and try to get his strength back ok and do we know don't make if demi's going to continue to offer refuge in a valley or as he came to return to russia. he had sense remember this he had said some time ago after he came out of the coma was bought out of the common after he had regained his mental faculties to a certain extent and said that he wanted to return to russia but it's pretty clear reading what he has put there that there is a degree of rehabilitation that has to take place and remember this is not happening in a vacuum politically we know that all manner of european countries and indeed the e.u. have been very critical of the russian government of what happened in russia and have called on the russian or thora cities to institute an investigation to bring
1:12 pm
whoever put that's not be chopped into his system to justice to have an investigation have a prosecution interesting that you know also that the russian prosecutor general has asked the french government for help in its investigation the french government has not made a decision about that so far and all the while you have pressure here in berlin on angle america's government to be slightly stronger in so far as its reaction remember angela merkel called on the russians to investigate and prosecute but there are some people here who say that the german government needs to do more that there is a multi 1000000000 dollar gas pipeline the russians are very keen to have finally brought to fruition between russia and germany worth around worth 50000000000 maybe maybe slightly more than that in the long run some people here want that to be shelled and the americans not such as going to do that yet question will be what does mr navarre knees while convalescent period what will it entails for the german
1:13 pm
government ok dominic many thanks for joining us the very latest that from berlin. now the russian opposition has called for an immediate campaign of civil disobedience after president alexander lukashenko was sworn in say media say the ceremony was in minsk in front of several 100 government officials because anchors been under mounting pressure to resign following last month's disputed election he says he has no intention of stepping down and has rejected foreign mediation. malaysia could be set for more political upheaval just 9 months after a new prime minister came to power opposition leader and what abraham as announced that he has the support of a strong majority to form a new government he declared the administration of prime minister. has fallen and he's seeking a meeting with the king. joins us live now from kuala lumpur for us is going north as straightforward as anwar is saying is that we've got the current prime minister
1:14 pm
coming out today going down without a fight tell us what he's been saying. that was a or rather bold pronouncement by anwar ibrahim but also rather thin on details and in response the prime minister is saying that what anwar has said they remain just me assertions that mere claims until anwar can really prove that he has indeed got the parliamentary majority now anwar did not say how many numbers he's got how many m.p.'s he's got supporting him he didn't say how which party is there from now on since analysts press conference this afternoon 2 political parties have come out to say they support anwar but that's not a surprise they are parties within his opposition coalition and anwar still has another hurdle he has got to have the ascent of the king basically this is a constitutional monarchy the king appoints as prime minister the person who he believes commands the confidence of the majority in parliament now on or says he
1:15 pm
see he's seeking an audience with the king but he's not able to meet the king as yet because the king is in hospital now and it also remains open for meat in yasin to seek an audience with the king and he could he could also well request that the parliament be dissolved and that would trigger snap elections so it's really not certain that are nor will be able to form the next government but having said that is also. since position is all book also rather shaky because even though there has been a recent statement by 6 parties in the ruling pact to say it's now they've put their support behind the prime minister the biggest component party and that is and the president of that party has come out to say he believes that many m.p.'s are willing to put their weight behind anwar ibrahim. because a little bit about who you bring him is he's been on the malaysian drizzles him for such a long time despite very many attempts to remove him from the stage. that's
1:16 pm
right now and what brought him was once the rising star of the party this is the party that has ruled malaysia since it gained independence from the united kingdom in 1957 they were finally ousted in the last general election in 2018 and anwar has been the opposition leader for decades ever since he fell out with former prime minister mahathir mohamad over how to handle the asian financial crisis in 1997 now unwise managed to build up a strong opposition but he wasn't he wasn't a pall i mean he was in prison at that time when his opposition coalition won the election he was convicted of sodomy he and his supporters say these were politically motivated and these were trumped up charges so this is. unless the coalition managed to win the elections but they want in power very long they were
1:17 pm
in power for less than 2 years and the collapse of the government was caused by this current prime minister made in yes in who had engineered a political coup and then took power because he withdrew his support for the then governing coalition now anwar is now using the same tactic that we had in yassin had used but he rejects criticism that it is that his government if it is indeed going to be formed is a back door government because i suppose in a sense he sees that he is merely restoring the former government that has won the elections in 2018 pro-slavery many thanks indeed for joining us from kuala wrong brings religious on the malaysian political scene. as plenty more still ahead on this news hour including an attempt to limit torture and war crimes prosecutions against british troops triggers controversy. and one of the biggest beaching of whales in astray in history scientists trying to find out

1:29 pm
these circuits and this is all coming on the back of the whole leaves. endemic as well so it's really very very challenging for us it's in the more than one usual months and usual days because we're about 1800000 people we. know you have a significant additional 220000 you have your niche as possible so it's really very much the contents of the smaller ones i'm getting from that account can you reach these people i mean how has people's access to food and basic supplies been affected so yes access is very very limited because there was of course in cuts in many of the areas such as not that sort. of that was very much in the circuits we do make use of new coal people in their buildings and to get at the biggest problem trying to do that they're engaging people with what their homes and everything many are taking refuge in structures or just hospitals and clinics and but it's you can
1:30 pm
try to get to them as much as possible with at least some of these unique slushing and where we're seeing reports that the prices of food is tending to rise and how is that impacting the situation. well of course that wouldn't have been 'd 'd the situation because it's a good plan last not problems but it seems that people are going to stall in their houses for the stasis and just still underwater to that or being damaged so the reason result is that really we have a lot of tapes and places that we have homes and the people who places the last few months and this is just complicating issues for displaying that we have to look at it as an emergency situation where it's not and what can we do to catch up with this in the future have a neuron show very busy thank you very much take the time to speak to us here on out of there and you very much. ok time now for the weather and here's jenny and jenny you've got more news of flooding haven't you this time in india and india i mean it's the monsoon season started right tools the end of monsoon season to be
1:31 pm
honest really lower throughout the whole season there are not many states that don't see some sort of flooding but yes once again that's exactly we're going talk about let me show you on the satellite this mass here the last few hours that really has been heading across maharashtra but just have a look at this because $300.00 millimeters of rain has come down in mumbai in the last 24 hours that the average total for the month of september is about $325.00 millimeters so this gives united just how much rain has come down in a very very short space of time so not surprisingly we're looking at lots of pictures of this of course much of the city is indeed under water now there is more rain in the forecast as i say the monsoon season it hasn't even really shown signs of retreating just yet we can see plenty of rains very extensive but in particular it is going to be to the north pradesh up into bihar and again nepal for the next couple days some very heavy amounts of rain very widespread through bangladesh as well but just look at this in some parts of eastern paul they could pick up more
1:32 pm
than 700 millimeters more than half a meter of rain in the next 3 days so again it's likely we are going to see some flooding there and also of course there's always that danger of mudslides and landslides here we are now across into the northeast of asia this is japan this is the tropical storm dolphin now this change direction in the last 24 hours it's no longer heading or expected to head towards central regions of honshu instead is that she heading to the northeast if they moving very quickly as well 30 kilometers an hour the winds are about 85 kilometers an hour they will be throughout the day and what you do of course is you you put the speed of the storm the movement and the winds together and it does mean the way fight is potentially very high indeed nearly 6 and a half meters very heavy amounts of rain of course come with this system of because it's not going to stay to the east of japan it won't produce the heavy rain but even so we could see about $125.00 millimeters lower so again somewhere else that could see some flooding. but the worst is the storms they used to be absolutely ok many thanks indeed. now still ahead here on al-jazeera why scientists say wildfires

nations which handle a disproportionate number of refugees. has been discharged from a hospital in germany where he was treated for poisoning doctors say he was struck by the nerve agent last month. for him says he has a majority to form a new government. called on and want to prove it and insists he remains the rightful. rights groups and former military chiefs are warning of international embarrassment if the u.k. government introduces stronger legal protections for british troops they say it would create a defacto immunity for soldiers serving overseas the bill aims to curb historical claims against u.k. soldiers who've served in countries such as iraq and afghanistan it also says time limits on bringing civil claims links to such operations. as an instructional human
1:36 pm
rights lawyer and co-founder of guernica 37 international justice chambers joins us via skype from london good to have you with us 1st of all this overseas operations bill it's proving pretty contentious why is it being proposed. well i think it's being proposed this was one of the pledges that was made previously by the concerted government. and i think many can see that this is a continuation of the current government's disregard for its international legal obligations. it's also as a result of 7 years investigations that was undertaken by the special military prosecutor in this country foreign allegations into crimes committed by 1st soldiers in iraq concern. for that reason and it's being put forth now but obviously as you say it's very contentious and it's it's been heavily criticized it
1:37 pm
has but it also does bring in of 5 years tattoos of limitations and i mean the ministry of defense at least as saying that this would limit the number of unscrupulous claims which of course can if not proven to be very damaging to perhaps an innocent soldier and receive defense says some 70 percent of claims fall into this category. well what they've said is 70 percent of the claims that have been looked at the evidence was not sufficient to go forward and say there have been very serious criticisms made of the as that group has claimed. the problem is on on the face of it looks as though it is a reasonable protection of produce service but unfortunately some of the matters that it is setting out in the bill are updated disturbing and it is creating as it's been stated defacto immunity always british servicemen. amongst the most
1:38 pm
professional in the world and perform a very very important task and so they should be shifted from fixations prosecutions but if they have committed or credible allegations that committed crimes of ruled and there's evidence they should be prosecuted and if they the risk is that this legislation could bring an end to the a could it though how likely is it that if the u.k. brings an end to it it still might be taken up by the international criminal court . well absolutely and i think one of the one of the issues that has been raised is that the ongoing investigation. by the international press fit into court is because the interim report works on a principle of complaint so if it is prosecuted at the local level then there is a say doesn't intervene but if there is no credible prosecutions at the local level then the i.c.c. can intervene but but it's there that that should not be the basis on which we've got legislation the should be very very clear that station there should be
1:39 pm
accountability because if we're shooting ourselves from prosecution went where they may have committed criminal princes what kind of message that's that sent to us that sort of thing that is the problem that we're currently facing this government does not recognize understand the importance of the rule of law apply international law and that is deeply disturbing ok so we had a leave it there thank you very much indeed for joining us i take adman but you. now $380.00 whales have now died all the coast of the astray an island state of tas mania is the west stranding event the country has ever seen a $500.00 pilot whales have been found stranded on the state's west case rescuers had been trying to save as many as they could but most were already dead around 30 had been moved back into the ocean but several banks themselves again but harrison
1:40 pm
is a professor with southern cross university whale research creepy joins us via skype from byron bay in a stroller the things that you've been following this rescue will indeed what's left of it quite closely what's the latest you're hearing. pretty much as you said the problem is that most of the whales that ended up stranding of peter already have died and any a relatively few have been able to be rescued and some of those are people who are protests and back into the danger zone again so it's a very serious and wiring process going on why why do whales dolphins that particular pilot whales do this and life are they even coming back again once they've been returned to the wolves. yeah that's a really good questions unfortunately we don't know the answers to them but we do know is that whales such as part of whales use sign a and they use to help navigate through complex underwater topography and sometimes
1:41 pm
