new and intimate film about the struggle of the elected leader of madagascar to return to his country and reinstate his presidency you know is that true a strange spot and we not only guess the french position is that we will look for a change return of the president on al-jazeera. thousands crowded into camps on a long wait for asylum the european union unveils his plan to fix its refugee system. but i'm glad this is out 0 life from the home also coming up a russian opposition leader like tina brown was released from a hospital in germany a month after he was flown in that is the victim of a pleased me. a new power play in malaysia opposition leader and what abraham says

he has the backing to topple the prime minister and form a new government. one of the biggest whale the chains in australian history scientists try to find out why nearly $500.00 animals are stranded off tasmania. so the destroyed maria camp in greece is a stark reminder that all e.u. nations have to step up to help refugees the european commission president said the land has been unveiling a long way to proposal to overhaul the e.u.'s asylum system this would see you countries sharing the responsibility for refugees and lifting the pressure off mediterranean nations the murray camp on lesbos island was destroyed by fire 2 weeks ago forcing almost 12000 refugees on to the streets. this package reflects

a fair and reasonable balance between responsibility and solidarity among men but states we all share the benefits we all share the burden this package also reflects a very pragmatic and realistic approach we know that we have to build trust among member states and citizens' confidence that we can manage this as a union. well stephanie dowrick has been reporting from lesbos over the past week where the reality of all this stuff talk is one thing isn't it but it's a 1000000 miles away from as i say the reality of where you are now it's almost a symbol of the new policy failure is not. absolute and i don't think it's clear whether anything has been decided now is going to alleviate the situation for these people they're talking about a joint tosk helping the greeks here at

a reception center i don't think at the moment it seems to indicate that they're going to expedia 8 already at the v.a. let's say the situation for these people it sounds that they're going to tighten border controls and that they're going to also expedite those who do not have asylum to return to their countries of origin if you if you look at it here and really you know we're talking about policy affecting people i don't think it's actually going to change anything these people remain in a situation which is many people would tell you inhumane in the sense that you know days one meal a day at the moment still 'd sanitation facilities it's very basic and the thing is as many have said if this were a temporary emerge narry emergency countless people a transit point a couple of days process and all of the words then you could deal with it but if this is going to become something like more where people are left to wait months and months and months on end many people here been here for over a year nic many people telling us that the impact that that is having on their mental health is something you know i don't think we can imagine what it's like to

sit in this limbo there's very little legal recourse if you're assigned a process is rejected to appeal you need to have you know a lawyer to help you do that even if you have asylum it's very difficult to get off the island you at some point are left alone people arrive in athens they cannot pay rent even if they could afford that because you need to have a certain tax number that you could only get if you have a permanent address there's so many complications to this make that nothing seems to be resolved that these people want is an answer and for them then the next puff to be made. easier i think europe is very clear that is divided on taking in many people and many countries don't want that so i think again what has been announced today if we read between the lines is not going to make the situation easier for these people certainly not right now it is not just a limbo for them isn't it because they are in one camp and then. they were on the street then they are on the streets another in another couple. absolutely and that's why many people didn't want to come into this camp prefer to

remain on the streets not that it was better because at least you could have toilets or even though you know that that's the toilet situation is terrible and there is one meal a day handouts etc etc but it's psychological it's the fact that they've gone from one terrible kept terrible conditions overcrowded to another it's almost like many people are telling us it felt like they were starting again and felt like they've arrived on this island again from scratch and they had to set up their tents again from scratch we've been watching people they are allowed to leave the camp or tween a.t.m. and a.p.m. going buying things getting things that are left from the burned down town we've seen people there rummaging through mattresses and old fun whatever it is that they can to make the tent that they have here a little bit more homely a little bit more you know manageable bearable let's say but it hasn't moved anything forward many people were hoping perhaps that the burning down of more was going to solve this people are going to be left off the island everything was going to be easier that's not going to be the case it's simply been transferred the

problem has been transferred and i think at the moment certainly yes the greeks have said for a very long time it's a border country it's a frontline country it needs to be share the burden needs to be shared among your member states so the dialogue that you're hearing now is that you will have the e.u. toss for us here helping process the paperwork but again it's not clear where these people are going to go i think what they're most importantly focusing on is sending those back to their countries of origin had their asylum rejected those who have asylum i think that process still remains incredibly difficult or as stephanie thanks very much indeed for that update from lesbos in greece let's go to natasha butler in powers who's been following what's being discussed at the time said the realities stuff is talking about they're all too plain and it's a desperate situation for the refugees and one that the e.u. has failed on so. what do you think where you think we can expect this time round. well we heard from the head of the e.u. commission on delenn who made it quite clear that the e.u.

for years has had this ad hoc crisis driven approach to migration because the top 7 member states are so divided over the issue of migration and she said clearly that cannot continue it is not compatible with the idea of the european union being united in our holding a human rights values therefore this is why the commission had said that the e.u. is at the commission was proposing this plan for a common migration policy a migration pact which she said was based on the values of responsibility in solidarity now in terms of what this pact is about there is a very heavy emphasis on prevention trying to stop people from leaving their homes in the 1st place from leaving their countries of origin and also for being are also an emphasis on deporting more people so called economic migrants if they do manage to arrive in the e.u. and also measures to bolster the e.u.

use land and sea borders in terms of asylum seekers it is one of the most contentious issues what do you do with people who are refugees how are they redistributed in the european union well it seems that under this plan there wouldn't be any mandatory redistribution of asylum seekers. the states would in a way get incentives cash incentives for example in order to host refugees it would in effect actually be the end of the so-called dublin agreements which saw the onus of the responsibility for an asylum seeker land on the country in which that asylum seeker arrives so many italy greece and spain those countries of always complain that that's simply unfair and the real challenge is this is the common migration policy needs a common consent if you like from all 27 member states is that likely. and

that's why it's always so hard finding a consensus in the in the e.u. all those $27.00 member states have to agree on something but of course migration is such a deeply divisive issue now the e.u. commission would know that the issue of mandatory relocation of asylum seekers among e.u. member states was always a sticking point in the past for countries like poland and hungary who say we don't want to be forced to take an asylum seekers to take in refugees therefore the commission has actually now made made a concession if you like it is a compromise in fact we heard that from the commission head as well as other commissioners this is a compromise solution it is a way of trying to get all the you member states on board without forcing them into situations in which they simply wouldn't sign off on and then this policy would not become a reality in the future rights activists are sure to say that this watered down

compromise is going to in a way obviously not be good for asylum seekers also rights activists calling for more legal pathways for people to migrate to the european union not just skilled workers but also low skilled workers that is something that one of the vice commissioners said is also being considered it is an enormous challenge there in person. now russian opposition leader alexina valmy has been discharged from a berlin hospital where he was being treated for poisoning the kremlin critic spent 18 days in a coma after fully ill in russia last month the army says he's now planning to have daily physiotherapy as he tries to regain his motor skills including the full use of his left hand german experts believe he was poisoned with the nerve agent moscow tonight involvement dominic cain has worn off. he 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 its 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 shouted say to have its effects on now we know that he is out of the hospital that he's going into rehabilitation outpatient basis he says he wants to walk in the parks and try to get his strength back. the opposition has called for an immediate campaign of civil disobedience of the president alexander lukashenko was sworn in

the ceremony was immense in front of several 100 government officials and has been under mounting pressure to resign following last month's disputed election. could be set for more political upheaval just 9 months after a new prime minister came to power opposition leader and what abraham has announced that he has the support of a strong majority to form a new government he declared that the administration of the prime minister we had in the us in the fall and we had insisted he remains the rightful leader for us lu is in kuala lumpur and she says that there is still uncertainty and was feeling. 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 well 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 parties they're from

and 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 where then his opposition coalition and anwar still has another hurdle he has got to have the assent 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 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 also remains open for meat in yasin to seek an audience with the king and it could he could also well request that 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. position is also wrong. the shaky because even though there has been a recent statement by 6 parties in the ruling pact to say they.

put their support behind the prime minister the biggest component party and that is that 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. here now to 0 why did scientists say wildfires could be. places burned in several countries. hello the plains and rain on the way across areas over japan. this is a tropical storm dolphin now study more to the northeast so that doesn't mean it is not expected to make. very close passing by towards the east it will have some very strong winds have been into the bank 90 kilometers an hour say they could do some damage setting produce some very high and dangerous ways and of course it will

produce some heavy amounts of rain which will continue to work its way. through friday taking with it the heaviest of the rain so we could perhaps see as much as 125 millimeters of rain but not as bad as it could have been elsewhere we've got to most acute conditions across the korean peninsula and fairly dry across much of central and eastern as the china not dry there across into south asia lots of activity here over the last several days but in the last 24 hours look at this has picked up 300 millimeters of rain so not surprisingly scenes like this all the streets really are under water and there is more rain in the forecast as well as we go through thursday you can still see these rains across the west and north as heavy but of course is adding to the flood water that is on the ground it really is going to be up to the north. and the poor is where the rains will be very heavy over the next couple of days.

member states to share responsibility for refugees the blocks a new plan hopes to ease pressure on mediterranean nations to handle a disproportionate number of arrivals. russian opposition leader like the novelli has been discharged from hospital in germany where he was treated for poisoning a doctor say he was struck by the nerve agent novacek last month. uncertainty malaysia after opposition leader and what abraham said he had a strong majority to form a new government the prime minister and we didn't justin has called on and want to prove it and insists he remains but fully. the global battle against coronaviruses dominated dominated speeches at the un general assembly is world leaders meet virtually for the 1st time because of the pandemic so far most have called for a united fight and for the un to respond to world permanently changed by the pandemic told trump used the speech to attack china over its handling of the virus the u.s. president accused beijing of failing to share information when the outbreak began.

we must hold accountable the nation which unleashed this plague onto the world china in the earliest days of the virus china lock down travel domestically while allowing flights to leave china and infect the world china condemned my travel ban on their country even as they cancelled domestic flights and locked citizens in their homes the chinese government and the world health organization which is virtually controlled by john falsely declared that there was no evidence of human to human transmission well this is general assembly also full of some headline grabbing changes in the middle east zama been generated reports now these groundbreaking peace deals are the dawn of the new middle east despite american enthusiasm multiple crises in the middle east but yet again an important highlight

as world leaders gathered for the 75th united nations general assembly it's not just unique because of the covert pandemic of the diamond jubilee for the world body but for the 1st time speeches by muslim majority states are made after diplomatic relations but established between multiple arab nations and israel. as a custodian jordan says it is bound by a special duty to safeguard jerusalem and its nomic and christian holy sites only way towards just and lasting peace must lead to an independent sovereign and viable palestinian state on the june 4th 1967 lines with east jerusalem as its capital living side by side with israel in mutual peace and security. president trumps version of reality see the decades old conflict coming to an end albeit without palestinian consent israel the united arab emirates and bahrain all signed a historic peace agreement at the white house with many other middle eastern countries

to come they are coming fast and they know it's great for them and it's great for the world. not so great the other is because the u.s. brokered deal doesn't make israel abide by previous un resolutions which had finished an argument turkey will not support any plan that the palestinian people do not give consent to participation of some countries of the region in this scheme does not mean anything beyond serving israel's efforts to a road basic international parameters. up there was the 1st arab state to open trade ties with israel in the 1990 s. which were severed in 2009 after israeli attacks in gaza but unlike some of its neighbors it has not jumped on the normalization bandwagon the more jati to and not to the slightly well list of the international community stands helpless without taking any effective steps visibly the israeli intransigence and persistence in occupying the palestinian and arab lands besides imposing

a stifling siege on the gaza strip continuing a policy of expanding settlements imposing a fait accompli policy in a flagrant violation of international legitimacy resolutions and the 2 state solution agreed upon by the international community it's a yearly ritual of strong words from some of the world's most powerful leaders but this year's virtual addresses mean there are no diplomats carrying world leaders to sideline meetings actually making headway in some of the middle east longstanding issues such as the war in syria the conflict in libya iran's nuclear saga or the humanitarian crisis in yemen see more news of the never. osama bin there well it's for look forward to the hours ahead we can speak our diplomatic editor james bays joins us from the u.n. and james another busy. virtual day what can we expect. yes more speeches back to back by world leaders but speeches they're making from

their capitals and they're making as recorded speeches already submitted to the united nations some of the highlights we're going to hear from ukraine we're going to hear from venezuela we're going to hear from afghanistan in the coming hours but i think in the next 2 to 3 hours the most important speech follows on from what you heard someone talking about there and that's the recent peace deals between 2 gulf countries and israel well there is one other big country in that region whose policies tend to be aligned with us and bahrain which hasn't done a peace deal with israel and that is saudi arabia the king of saudi arabia we're going to hear from the smalling here in new york at the general assembly king salmon will be making a speech that in itself is very rare when the general assembly meets in person normally we don't normally hear from a saudi king in fact saudi arabia normally comes at the end of the session with a statement just from

a foreign minister so the fact the king is addressing this meeting because it's being held virtually is important and i think that is the highlight on our agenda in the coming hours all right james more from you as the day progresses there in new york meantime thanks a lot. rights groups and former military chiefs so warning of international embarrassment if the u.k. government introduces stronger legal protections for british troops they say it would create a de facto immunity for soldiers serving overseas the bill aimed to curb historical claims against u.k. soldiers who served in countries like iraq and afghanistan it also sets time limits on bringing civil claims linked to such operations. chinese tech giant way says it's battling for survival against nonstop aggression from the u.s. government and mobile phone maker is blocked from buying any chips made with u.s. technology that's due to suspicions that the chinese government is using its network equipment for spying and when is the co-host of the china tech invest the

podcast in the tech industry analyst he says some u.s. chip makers selling to our way have already been granted exemptions to the ban. weiwei is a still the world's largest telecommunications equipment maker they are the number 2 smartphone maker in the world so if you're a chip maker and you can't sell to. big problem what we're seeing right now is that some of these lower end chips are starting to be exempt to be able to self acquire a way but when it comes to their higher end chips those are ones that are that don't seem to be exempt right so what we're seeing is there is a lot of pressure from the us out of while they they're there now want it willing to allow for a way to get past this pressure hold to to a point where they can surpass some of these other large kind of u.s. dependent. medications. definitely. pressure so

what we're probably going to see is that eventually we're going to see while we probably will be making a left or fewer smartphone because because they don't have the equipment and they also will not be able to make as many of their high end smartphones the company or the subsidiary to watch here is a subsidiary of polytope i like that and that is their chip making subsidiary i think we restructured quite a bit but the way that they look at it is that it's kind of you know one step back but a few steps forward in the future they're just kind of trying to organize their entire business it should not be dependent on u.s. or u.s. sanctions at all. the city of louisville in kentucky in the united states is preparing for protests that awaits an announcement about the fate of police officer who shot brianna taylor the 26 year old african-american woman died in march this become a symbol of police brutality and racial injustice a state of emergency has been declared the attorney general expected to decide whether the offices should be charged. dry conditions and record

a fire age the industrial scale burning of fossil fuels has changed the planet and fires are but one consequence once the tune of our fossil fuel burning. scaled up. to the point that it's an end to the climate all the collateral effects which we're discovering are very unhelpful for the world we've created widespread fires create a negative feedback loop speeding up climate change these wildfires have already sent more than 30 megatons of carbon into the earth's atmosphere according to him european atmospheric monitoring service now all of that carbon will eventually contribute further to global warming in the normal course of events burned forests would regroup over time and the trees and plants would reabsorbed much of that carbon but the planet is changing woodlands will become grasslands grasslands may

become does or areas that we think of as a. reference woods may or may become something else i'm not sure we we really understand all the all those possibilities some policy makers clearly. seed the disastrous future ahead the experience that we have in the state of california just underscoring the reality of the ravages of climate change others turn a blind eye it will start getting cooler i will just you just watch even if fossil fuel burning were stopped overnight the world would continue warming for generations because of the greenhouse gases already emitted there's no vaccine for fire we're going to be dealing with it and managing it and perpetuity this is our planet's new normal as humanity enters the age of fire rob reynolds al-jazeera

keep swimming assuming it's open ocean we don't really know why so many wild strain we know that pollock whales are very social animals they hardly social like many mammals and they are in big family groups and sometimes as big family groups aggregate and a p. is somehow that something has drawn the mean close to the coast instead of further off shoal and as a result of possibly some leaving my old stranding and usually the rest of them of common unfollowed. all right let's have a quick recover the headlines here and i was there and the european commission president says the destroyed maria camp in greece is a stark reminder that all you know nations have to step up to help refugees live on the land has been unveiling along the way it's a proposal to overhaul that use asylum system it would see you countries sharing the responsibility for refugees and lift the pressure off mediterranean nations
