not sure of the power and fragility of hope. borne free witness on al jazeera. what's most important to me is talking to people, understanding what they're going through here. and we believe everyone has a story worth hearing. the news from europe to africa, to the americas fires, landslides and floods all of a warning. the time is running out to address climate change. ah, hello, and welcome. i peter w. watching to hear a live from headquarters here. and also coming up, we report from turkey, where wildfires the force, the evacuation of entire villages and coastal resorts class in hong kong fears over

a new security law. a fresh exit us from the territory and lots of protest as a gathering and peru days off the left as president petro castillo, was sworn in to office. ah, across nearly every continence extreme weather and other disasters are bringing. the challenge of climate change into focus in a moment will take you to turkey, where the deadly fires, burning swathes of coastline. 6 people have lost their lives. dozens of hotels have been evacuated with tourists, fleeing by boat. almost 100 fires have broken out across the country since wednesday most are now under control. fi conditions have been worsened by a heat wave across southern europe. fed by hot air from africa, forecast se temperatures could go as high as 50 degrees celsius. and it's not just happening in europe more than $60000000.00 americans in several states are under

official heat warnings. of temperatures sought to near record levels and an ongoing drugs and auction. tina threatened to devastate agriculture and trade. the country has declared a water emergency with its largest river at a record low level. russell said has mourn out from southern turkey where the wildfires have been spreading. clear blue skies lost in a haze. and the once green forest of southwest and turkey had been painted black, the wire fires started on wednesday, across 4 location in the province of. and tanya found by strong means the quickly spread to neighboring regions. but soon, 26 provinces, far and wide, began reporting similar fires. several people have been killed and hundreds of others injured. thousands more have had to leave their homes. young yolanda and the

blaze spread to the highlands and raised suddenly we had no chance to flee on, but when we were engulfed by slaves, we had to run to the city of been off, got it. and then we came back to find the house like this. not much more than 85 wildfires. how broken out is whether the $74.00 of them are under control. but the cost the province is dana or manya on top of the messing mueller. and isn't it? are still trying to put out flames. we are in my now got which along with the key is on top, the worst hit this rate to fight fighters had been killed during operations here. while many people have been taken to hospital, at least 25 willis and this weeks are even created and other fi was in mama is, has killed at 25 years old woman here who was trying to take drinking water to the emergency crews. the fires wiped out livestock area

as local struggle to lead her to safety. hundreds of homes have been destroyed or heavily damaged, but the turkish for the minister says help is on the way. cuz me a demo, let it buy ship to yacht and i need to buy a new market to get it will stop partial payments to our citizens who have suffered damage to their properties. we have begun transferring a total of $2700000.00 from various institutions and ministries for emergency need and antelli as min. i've got distracted by that. well, the wildfires are common in turkey, mediterranean, and aging regions during the dry summer months alternative have yet to determine the cause of this fires. subtlety she pending, we are considering the possibility of sabotage and any other sources of the fire starting. and we will carry out the investigation to provide answers to these. we will not give up an kill. we have all the answers that are concerned. they may be

a string of attacks targeting the heart of the turkish tourism industry. the extent of the destruction will become clear once the was fires are extinguished. but for doors in the effect of regions, it will likely take some to recover and rebuild press. we'll start of that. i'll just my guts. earlier we spoke with mark decent or if he teaches environmental studies at the university of new south wales, he said to us, it's wealthy countries who have the greatest responsibility to cut emissions. this job, the politicians can do now is to, to respond and mitigate climate change, which is the main driving factor that is increasing the severity and the frequency of these wildfires and also a floods. so we need action to transition to from fossil fuels, to renewable energy. we need to improve our public transport and our facilities for

active transport. we need to transform our industrial heat to renewable electricity . we know what the solutions are, that many politicians are resisting change because they are very close to the vested interest to the fossil fuel industries that do not wish to change. it is the, the wealthy countries and the wealthy individuals who are producing the greatest carbon emissions and making the greatest contribution to climate change. and hence, the wildfires and plants that follow. so really it's the rich countries that have to reduce their consumption. we have to reduce the consumption when the rich countries and a lot of our consumption is also involved in buying goods and services from the rapidly developing countries like china and india, and brazil, and mexico in indonesia. and so we buy our consumption in the rich countries are

increasing greenhouse gas emissions in the rapidly developing countries. a change to hong kong immigration law has come into effect. critic say it gives the authorities unlimited powers to stop people leaving or entering the chinese controlled territory. it follows last year's imposition of a wide ranging national security law since then, thousands of people have emigrated. and as adrian bryan reports from hong kong, the exodus is growing. hong kong international airport is a quiet place these days except here, the check in area for flights to london. these people are not going away for business or pleasure though. they're leaving for good feeling, a mixture of anger, guilt, and defense. they're being forced out. this is our home. why do we need to leave? i mean, i have been living here for more than 30 years already and it's my home. so it's really sad to leave the home and you see that everything is she's

a finance worker and has no job to go to like others who sacrifice careers often for the sake of their children. bolivia. so for many years we have our korean, we have family. yes. so it's a bit upset for the for the future of my child. and i think we need to do with the sex scenes and now being played out daily. as more people join a growing exodus from the territory where communist party rule is being tightened. in the past year, an estimated $36000.00 people have left for britain under a special visa scheme. many supported over part of the anti government protest movement, like dark su now in birmingham with his family. he says the change to the immigration law will encourage more people to go. i'm just joking. i think the hong kong

government speeds up the immigration plan for many home comments. for us, we did not plan to leave hong kong. it was beginning, even after the protests in 29 team, like many others, he says he's unlikely to return to hong kong, a city that still regard itself as asia's finest. the government denies the law gives it unlimited powers to stop people entering or leading hong kong, insisting the amendment is aimed at screening illegal immigration at source, amid a backlog of asylum claims. and that people's right to free movement will not be effected. those who go to the u. k. have opted for a new life in a country where koby 19 rates of soaring and job prospects scares. yet that seems preferable to remaining here. and adrian joins his live from hong kong. so adrian, why is this new law been passed now?

well peter, of course, hong kong has always been a transitory place. a place that people have fled from and fled to more than 70 years. of course, they were fleeing the communist revolution and now in a sense, they're also playing communism once more. some of those going fighting the new immigration, or as one of the reasons why they've decided to leave the place that's also been home. they worry that it could lead to exit bands, which is what human rights groups and lawyers organizations have warned about. but as i said in my report, the hong kong government continues to insist that is not the case. the aim is purely to deal with a backlog of illegal immigration, but in the current context, in the current political environment here in hong kong, people feel the worse, so they are voting with their feet and leaving the number of people who have so far left is in the area of 36000, the hong kong government admit that since 2019 the population has fallen by about 0.6 percent. but the british government is anticipating, at least a 130000 people,

going to the u. k. to take up that offer, which could lead to a path to citizenship. that sounds adrian from here is if the exodus is actually accelerating. it certainly is beginning to look that way peter. and there are a variety of reasons, so that i think the new immigration law, which came into effect just a few hours ago. it's something that a lot of people were determined to beat. so this time yesterday, there were large crowds in i'll j, behind me, of people boarding to the day, the flights to london. and then of course, just a few weeks ago, there was a deadline for people to apply for their new b and visa in order to enter the u. k. so that's 2 of the reasons why we've seen this suddenly pick up in people leaving hong kong, adrian many, thanks, adrian. bryan. their report live from the airport at hong kong. the african forces

lima. not millions of americans face the risk of eviction after a moratorium put in place during the pandemic expires. it was meant to slow the spread of the virus by preventing crowding in shelters, the bypass administration has been criticized. so failing to challenge a supreme court ruling, preventing an extension to the moratorium, we are already fighting a battle and losing a battle because there are people left out last night the night with the night before. there are people who are already and how, if we don't have enough, we don't have enough shelters, we don't have enough. we don't have a housing for them right now. and that's a failure. that's another moral failure on our society. she had pretend c with warner from washington. we've known for a month that this was going to expire tonight. here in the u. s. the supreme court

said that the centers for disease control had overstepped its authority by putting in my instance using this, this moratorium. and yet it was just 2 days ago that the white house press secretary said, well, we can wait to see what congress has come up with to prevent people from being evicted, to which the congressional leadership said what i thought you were going to do something about says we weren't going to do something about this and we had this terrible charade on friday nights here, where the house of representatives reconvened and they went through the motions of trying to pass something. but you can't really pass something in a few hours just before the august recess. the biden ministration says, well, we couldn't do anything because, you know, we don't want to annoy the supreme court because if we, if we try and challenges any farther than maybe they'll go off to some of the other programs that we've instituted because of cobra. the progress is a long said was look, have another executive order re institute this. and at least when it goes back to the court that will buy time for an existing program that still has $46000000000.00 of cash,

just lying there waiting to be dispersed to people who face eviction at least. then we'll give it time for that to begin working, but the biden ministration didn't do that so. so here we are. if they have started very progressive and savvy, i've been looking at this with the last month, even for the beginning of the year. that you could get people on board given how many people millions of people are going to be affected by this. the estimates are between 7.4 and 11000000, according to statistics of been circulating in congress 7.4 in the next 2 months could be evicted. sweeping corona virus restrictions have now come into effect in pakistan on vaccinated people and borrowed from government offices. schools, restaurants, shopping malls, and commercial flights. the country's biggest city, karachi, will go into a one week partial lockdown this weekend. pakistan reported many, 5000 new cases on saturday, the highest single day, tiny in the past 2 months. as indonesia grapples with the worst covered, 19 i break in asia, the number of orphans there is rising, some have no relatives,

or recovered from the disease during the previous 6 months. but what's brought tens of thousands of demonstrators out onto the streets for a 3rd successive weekend. is the proposal to extend the passport to cover bars and restaurants and make it compulsory for health care workers to be vaccinated. she to go for it in i'm enough and i've resigned because i think we mustn't be blackmailed . i also think that we shouldn't be told what to do. it's an obstacle to freedom. if now we need a virus pass to fetch groceries, go to the cinema or enjoy life after a grueling job. the past is a real danger for everybody. it's really an empty social thing. if it is more so we are creating a segregated society and i think it's unbelievable to be doing this in the country of human rights. i've never protested before in my life, but i think our freedom is in danger. france is in the grip of its 4th wave of

covert infections. more than 24000 new cases a day is more than double the number of just when we can get with the dial in between individual liberty and collective solidarity is particularly challenging. here in france in particular, people lead as a violation of important give of we are all equal and no one is the 2nd class citizen just because he or she decides against explanation. which brings up a problem with solidarity, which is the latter need a pillow system because they are risk groups that need to be protected from those who think it's their personal choice. whether they do something for society or not . there is clear evidence that despite the demonstrations, the vaccine passport law is having the desired effective driving up vaccination rates. 3 weeks ago, just 40 percent of french adults were double vaccinated. that's now risen to 52 percent who had both jobs and opinion polls show that 70 percent of voters support

the plan for compulsory vaccination of health. co workers. the demonstrators on making themselves heard that they are a vocal minority holborn. and i'll just, you know, and the italian government has also, and, and similar plans and that's led to protest in the city of milan. the prime minister mario drug has urged people to get the vaccination or risk. and he locked down. hundreds of people have rallied against the lazy as prime minister over his handling of the pandemic they once we had in the us in to resign. infections have surge, despite emergency measures in place since january really 9000 people who died. the protest in quite a lumper was mostly led by younger people. the us is told each and as he in president case said, it stands ready to help the nation moved towards a secure, prosperous, and democratic future. national security advisor, jim sullivan underscored the need to rapidly form a new government in order to stabilize the economy and battle against the corona

world's largest polynesian city. with indigenous mouldy joined by generations of migrants from countries like sophomore fiji and tongue up. but the vibrancy color and contribution of polynesians haven't always been welcomed. here we were the people that were responsible for the disintegration of, of the economy and the new zealand dream. the painters were vigilante group sit up in the 1970s to defend the rights of moldy and pacific islanders, and to change the racist views held by many white new zealanders. we can't educate them, they're not used to our way of life. let's keep stuff. one result of that sentiment was an immigration crackdown, getting pacific islanders who had been brought here because of labor shortages. the often violent dawn rage, which the government is now apologizing for. so police searching homes, businesses and even churches looking for over stairs to deport the sense of

injustice is still felt to day, mainly because it was only pacific islanders who were targeted, not the majority of over stairs who were at the time from the united states or europe, a formal government apology for past injustices is rare in new zealand. it has to meet strict criteria, including the victims being definable as a distinct group that continues to suffer hom, connected to those historic events. today. many of those affected feel a sense of shame about what happened and reluctant to talk about it, even to their families. you would have just felt like you were trampled on in some way emotionally, spiritually, many, many ways. and i think that has been answered generational. the polynesian pent is welcome the apology, which have been campaigning for for decades, and they hope it will help people of the pacific islands move on. the l. a. stand proud because of who we are and achieve the very, very basic and simple goals for why we even came to this country. that's all we

want. they also hope saying, sorry will help build trust between the island communities and the government and insure future generations feel secure in new zealand. even if the apology has taken nearly 50 years. wayne, hey, al jazeera, oakland, mon, you, whenever you want to build the website, the address to 0 dot com, including the latest there on those wildfires. lots are contained in turkey. ah, updating your top stories here on alex's era, the tech he's president, is promising assistance to areas affected by the worst wildfires in recent years. 6 people have been killed. most fires have not been contained her to show it to mit. we are considering the possibility of sabotage.
