through the vast areas of forest across its southern region. for 12 days, tens of thousands of people have fled their homes. but more than 200 fights have now been brought under control. syrians, no tragedy, all too well. more than 3000000 people. how full of war and destruction find shelter here in turkey. and now, as turkey faces some of the worst white wires in its history, some of those refugees have warrant here to help fight the blazes. the ceiling and rescue team includes arabs curves, turn men, answer captions. they come from cities across the country. orginally trained to have other refugees and the way the relief work along the turret to sit in board. there they have joined a warrant tears from all over the world to support more than 6000 personnel fighting the fires that have the course sell to turkey for the past 11 days. the

steering wouldn't you say turkey has been a safe haven for them and they wanted to return the jester volunteer the city that he can and syria when they were helicopters above us, we would be very frightened because they were dropped bombs on us. but here, these helicopters are to save the nature and people. we are very happy that we have the chance now to hear people's wounds could open the door for us when we needed. the syrian rescue team are joined by villagers from our job, where the flames are approaching dangerously close. you know, i was here before, defies in several provinces since more than a week. we're now here to stop the places again. we're here to support a turkish colleagues and i believe that we'll get through this and everything will be all right soon. the other members of the team are spread across the provinces of dana, more untidy, which has been the worst hit fires across south and turkey. how so far killed

people and post houses of others out of their home menu of which are no longer standing. and the searing wouldn't tiers are doing what they can do to help survivors knowing how it feels to have nowhere to go christmas there that all just the ra item and at least 8 people are missing in the u. s. state of california is the so called dixie wildfire burns largely out of control. 5 for the missing from greenville b start gold mining tom that was devastated last week. he's all that's left to some of the homes and buildings destroyed in the fire. smoke is blanketed parts of northern california and nevada and triggered air quality warnings as far away colorado a month now since the assassination of the haitian president of now, louise and investigators have arrested several suspects while the new prime ministers called for new elections. but still, there are 70 unanswered questions about the killing and it's daniel from the reports that is only creating further instability. the killing of president jovan

annemarie shocked a nation already suffering from political instability. rising gang violence and the screen poverty. police immediately detained more than 20 mercenaries, mostly colombians, who they accused of carrying out the attack. 3 were killed while a few others remain on the run. but the most important question remains unanswered . who was the assassination? next shall justice. let, shall justice, let, shall justice be, do not want vengeance nor violence. the head of police security has been questioned over the apparent absence of the prisoners protection forth on the night of the attack. while families of the detained colombians say they were hired by agencies in florida to protect not kill him, investigations of focus on a number of figures portraying themselves as well connected, well, finance, power brokers. they have admitted plotting to remove president more used from

office, full se killing him, was never their intention, that miss young to be on him off that tag the life of the present in all country. those connected with this barbaric practice miss bay for their story as cause of fresh election the soon as conditions allow wherever those conditions which would difficult before the president murder remained volatile up in the moon. he know what was this, you know, many people from the opposition and the stinking bourgeois z joined together to betray the president. it's a national and international conspiracy against the haitian people. i ask that all guns mobilize take to the streets. it took me more groups campaigning for peaceful change in haiti, civil store, which is a persecuting them for their views. we don't believe in this investigation. this is a political persecution. those who are directly involved in killing the president should be prosecuted when others say haiti's problems are more deep,

rooted and blame. the smaller leap is long run the poorest country in the region. when it's true, we have poverty, it's true or not organized, it's true. nothing works as it should. but look for the reasons why nothing works now because that search certain people who want to keep my stations where they are, it's really time to change haiti as requested, united nations help with the investigation along with what they already receiving from the united states. because one month on there, not much closer to confirming who is behind the killing of president coven envoys, or the reasons why dan shambler out to 0. in the news ahead, stranded refugees and migrants celebrate the news. they'll be able to leave columbia that a dangerous journey live ahead with the faces of resistance resumes far from home, expressing their opposition to ah

bert, frost, the hearts of the day across areas of southern queen. so we look at our map when you see blue, you know, that's called so let me show you some, the temperatures here, minus 2.3. and okey and you know, that now made it the 3rd day in a row with temperature is below 0. but i want to talk about active weather and we've got a barrage of system slamming into western australia over the next few days. this is going to generate some powerful wind. so perth, we'll see gus about 70 kilometers per hour. it's a polar blast for new zealand. we've got some snow to talk about. ok. we could see it at sea level, but really anything above 200 meters, we could see upwards of 30 centimeters, also got gusty winds and expose places. so wellington auckland escape could see at

88 kilometers per our next stage of pacific. and we are keeping tabs on tropical storm loop it as it grades is through japan. but mostly the bulk of that energy is going to stay out toward the sea of japan. so tokyo over the last 24 hours because the tropical storm marinate, you picked up 90 millimeters of rain, but i think this time around, it's going to be a wind story. so we'll see the winds in tokyo gust up to 75 kilometers per hour on monday. that sure weather update will catch you later. the weather bag in energy and change to every part of our universe, the or small to continue the change all around the shape, my technology and human ingenuity. we can make it work for you and your business.

they could have held 68000 people. it has had just a handful of that and we'll do again for the closing ceremony. tonight is games delivered to plenty of memorable moments, but also it can't be forgotten more than $400.00 cove at $900.00 cases connected to the games. i'm sorry, let's go. despite opposition, i think we have reached the closing ceremony because there are people who have thought of and supported the athletes who have worked hard for years for the olympics. i got the, the slide, the fees of not being able to hold the games in the end for us to see the leaves perform and compete on television was very moving. and i think it was very good i'd say from former employee and jewels boy off iraq for books on the politics of the big game. he says tokyo 202021 mix legacy. well, it's very much been a split screen olympics on one screen. we've seen remarkable athletes overcoming

extraordinary odds. i mean this has been a very difficult olympics to participate, that you don't have your family there. you don't have your spouse there. you don't have your friends there cheering your on. there's nobody cheering you on. on the other side of the split stream, the world has really gotten a straight ahead look at the people that organize the olympics. that is the international olympic committee. and many scales have fallen from many eyes because they have seen that the io. c, as they're known, have rammed ahead within a lympics pretty much for the sake of money, because they are perfectly happy to have a made for tv event because the broadcast fees and corporate fees come in. there is no question that the athletes have managed to thrive under tremendously difficult conditions. but if you talk to people inside of japan, a lot of them are wondering why didn't we just postpone this for one more year? yes, thank goodness that there weren't more cases of corona virus inside of the olympic bubble. no question about it. but could things have been done better? yes. could things have been done worse? yes, but here we are with now we're looking at japan with

a rising cases of corona virus across the country. the olympics have definitely structured permission for people in japan to flout the state of emergency rules. this is veronica just in japan talking, not me here about this. they said out loud that the olympics have actually harmed the corona virus situation in japan, if not directly, then certainly indirectly. and that is something that is going to be one of the legacies of these olympic games. it's going to, everyone in japan is going to have to live with a battery since across europe have been marked in the anniversary of last years disputed presidential election. and in the netherlands, people have been expressing the continued opposition through an exhibition which stepped off and visited in mag their faces young and determined girls locked up in a detention center and bella was fainted by your fellow detainee. less since like the country each day. i guess a new girl was coming in or moving to another place and you can see that they are profession like software test. my su, photographer,

or sales assist and lawyer. yes, it shows me the strengths of human spirit to serious as sad as these. but looking at the faces of the girls, i feel hope a but the hope for change route by hundreds of thousands of bella roshan, one year ago, seems far away now. alexander lucas. shank, i was accused of rigging his reelection as the assembly and power mass demonstrations against this rule has died down. no matter we both have here, but the message is for this case in a different form. while many evaluation voices might be silence one year after the fuser presidential election, these are to say that despite their fear, the spirit has not been broken. this is another artist who went through the jail. he. afterwards he scratched the gold from his bill irrational passport.

so this is his passport and with all the gold with removed, this young artist does not want her identity to be revealed out of fear for reprisals. bella russian activist, suspected to have been murdered, was found that last week in the ukrainian capital kia and she feels unsafe new york. this past year feels like one very long tiring day. but people like me who is still outside prison, have a responsibility to show gratefulness to those who have risked their lives and their freedom and human rights. i believe we can change things by doing little steps every day. estimated 600 people are still being detained since last year's protest. the names and faith has shown during this march in the hague. all this is all of us, of course, still go today. yes, because my friend, i am the reason and that's all what can i do now?

to be here and to talk and say that names like 600 age. he's the owner for the gallery, where i worked for 10 years, and he's in the prison already for one year. this is the future and location is actually in prison, screams of the silence to become a little less silent by expressing their feeling to art steadfast and al jazeera in the hate. ah, up off the i will take you through the headlines. the ask on telephones capture the open provincial capital of condos and another significant defeat the government. taliban 5 is attacked early on sunday. baffling street by street during hours of intense fighting.
