that is going to challenge the way you think were did to the sale bytes, and we're digging into the issue from international politics to the global pandemic . and everything in between. join me if i take on the lars dismantled misconceptions and debate the contradictions upfront with me, michael might help on out there. ah hundreds of iraqi migrants and refugees stopped short crossing into the e. u at the bellows, poland border, and i flying back home. but thousands more are still brave in cold temperatures as they are future remains uncertain. ah,

none of them had them are he did this is al jazeera life and doha, also coming up security forces forward to your guns. that pretentious incident is demonstrations against the military. continue look at the latest former correspondence. countries in europe see a surgeon cone of ours infections, but we're going resistance to restrictions. governments of tough decisions to make . and a somber memorial tone and croatia. marks of the darkest moments in its history. ah, hundreds of iraqi migrants and refugees who were stopped at the poland, belarus border or no fine home rocks. foreign ministry is trying to find others in belarus who also want to leave. but without than what has, has more from baghdad. they're coming back to misery. they're coming back to earth

. unemployment is they coming back to or it has sector there is being a disaster for dick, for almost 2 decades now. a, the coming back to uncertainty if a may say, but up also we have been learning it from a sources in belarus, that 374 iraqi migrants have a have boarded the, the flight back from minsk to iraq. they're going to land 1st according to their itinerary, announced by the transportation minister in iraq. they're going to land 1st in kurdistan region in our bill airport, and then from air bill to about that. now these may grants and refugees, as you know, they have vulnerable people among them, including that include sir women, children in the elderly. in fact, some of them died trying to cross the border to seek medical treatment in europe.

up. there have been reactions here in iraq, on the official level. the foreign ministry has announced that it has been engaging in efforts with our both billers and poland along with other european union countries. in order to solve this problem, to find immediate, a solution to this problem or at least alleviate the suffering of the people stuck on the border between poland and belarus. well, along the border, thousands are still living in make shift camps and fries and conditions that have sets up some shelters that there's no sign of any resolution. and it stand off with poland. g 7 nations of cold on bella. ruth, to end the crisis legions of the keys. bellamy says, trying to push migrants into the european union will do a whole life for us in skulker. that's on poland, side of the board with a fellow race, a job. there's

a lot of finger pointing here on the diplomatic level with the bowl firmly you could say in fellow research chords. but in the back of this, there's also a good few 100, if not a couple of 1000 people freezing and dreadful conditions. what's happening with them? yes, the balance of what was assumed to be some, 2000 people that have been stuck on the better side of the board of the last few weeks. the balance of those people still as you say, living in pretty awful conditions. opiate, they've improved to a degree over the last 48 hours with the provision by the origins of a of a converted warehouse that's offered them some protection at least from the cold that had been split between that warehouse at attentive camp. though a couple of those people being interviewed by media that have been allowed in from the bell sides, say that more and more people are now moving for obvious reasons into that warehouse. the simply isn't enough space for everybody in there now. it sounds

pretty appalling. inside and the deed what aid was being provided, ease running out there was enough to go around. so clearly conditions not as they should be very far from it. and meanwhile, whilst 400 people may have got on the plane back to iraq, all the others are still sitting there. and he's becoming clearer and clearer to them. but there is simply no way for them to proceed forward. the european union, which is of course, all they want, it's why they came here. it's what they were promised by the valuation side, when they made the journey over here. and they are determined many of them at least to persist somehow. and of course, desperate measures will follow as they did on wednesday night when 80 kilometers south of this point because needs, there was an attempt to breach the board of defense is under cover of darkness that was repelled by photos border guards. hundreds of people were told by the defense ministry here were involved in that, allegedly helped by the elevation border guards themselves. and that sort of thing

i think, is happening quite a lot nigh top tonight in smaller groups in different places along the border. and that will continue. meanwhile, these diplomatic efforts go on the european commission has denied claims by the better side that in phone calls between angela merkel and alexander. lucas said there was some sort of negotiation about a humanitarian, colorado, to send these people through to germany. they say absolutely no negotiation is going on. all they talked about was the provision of humanitarian aid and potential repatriation efforts. the estonian foreign minister meanwhile said that there was a moment in one of those phone calls in which, alexander lucas, i laid down his sort of red line if you'd like, for what he will do, what he wants, in order to relieve this crisis. and that is legitimacy. he wants to be recognized by the european union that is refused to do so since an election last year, widely seen as corrupt, followed by a brutal crack down on the opposition. he wants recognition and he wants sanctions to go away. neither of those things are going to happen. and so he is

a man who looks increasingly himself desperate fighting for his own political survival for political recognition. and who quite frankly, is showing no sign whatsoever of carrying one way or another. what happens to these people that he's invited in and who are now trapped on his side of the border? ok, jonah, how they're joining us from the poland. valerie sports. jonah, thank you very much. confrontations had taken place between security forces. i'm protesters in sit on police or frontier gas apps, demonstrators. at least 15 people were killed on wednesday. after security forces, open farm. people have been anchored by the military's refusal to hand back her to the civilians. we'll have a morgan join says no law firm. our car teams shoot. you have a deadly day own wedding say i were things lou king today and sit on

yes, hell, i was not just a deadly laid deadly day. it was the deadly as they since the take over on october 25th. now assume woke up with anger and many people, many families out proceeding with burial processions and funeral rights. and we've seen people for testing, setting up barricades, and to show that anger at the security forces limit the amount of excessive brutal force use against the processes. now, many of them did not know exactly what was happening in other cities, but with the return of phone lines around midnight or sometime, people were able to communicate between the 3 cities, for whom north, to center, the city itself, and the city of undermanned across the river, so many of them now know the death toll is at least 15 and, but there were dozens of people injured in the process on the 17th. so there is anger, there, barricades being set up on main roads in the 3 fifties that make up the state of cartoon. and people say that they're going to continue to voice their anger,

but they're also going to try to mobilize for more mass process. while they've also come with civil disobedience life seems to be going on. normally, you can still see cause to 3. there's a bit of traffic and like the 1st days of a takeover, so it looks like there's not a very high response to this civil disobedience call made by the students, professionals association and by resistance committees. but there is anger at the residential neighborhood. you can see the barricades, you can see processes, and you can people lead responding to that very, as they always do, trying to move them, trying to for the protest of themselves to move them. and in the process using peer guys to remove any processor who's trying to man the barricade sets up as a residential neighborhood on main street. and hipaa, of course, what will that was going on is it's important not to forget that the internet services and telecom services have been cancer. and the one up to this day of protest, it was cold. and it still loads despite the that court ruling calling for the internet companies to switch it all back on. when are we with this was happening

the public court ordered the arrest of the owners or the general manager of telecom companies here and today. but let's not forget that while they had previously released to orders demanding that because telecom companies resort internet connection to the mobile carriers and those who had the internet services on their phone. there was a response from the military, from the authorities saying that there is a state of emergency in the country and that trumps up any or any court order in the country. therefore, the internet connection on mobile phones will not be restored. now on wednesday, the 30th took it a step further by cutting off the internet via fiber cable. so many institutions around the country were not able to receive any intimate at all. and that is because presumably to prevent a protest from what will i think from one place to another as secure to try to disperse them. but people are saying that this is a violation of one of their basic rights, the right, the freedom of expression, the right to be able to communicate via the internet. some of them saying that this

is the only way they can communicate with loved ones and relative outside the country for them. this is a very basic issue. and despite the demands that they wanted back, despite the court order that the owners and the managers of the telecom companies should be erected. it's not clear yet if the internet will be restored or not. hipaa morgan, their report, he lives from cartoon. thank you. we appreciate it. germany's lower house has passed new measures to contain the cove at 19 outbreak. in the case numbers of broken 65 thousands, the highest. since the starts of the pandemic with a thirds of germans haven't been vaccinated, greece is also dealing with records infections. and in a moment, we'll get more on that with john civil policy standing by 1st in athens. first of all, let's have to berlin. i think we've done when it came dominic, so the government has passed some measures that what if they agreed to do

what's being agreed on by the parliament as a very important distinction to draw here. the government is a caretaker, government that does not have a majority in parliament in parliament. you have a majority for the parties who are trying to form a new governments. and so there's a little bit of ambiguity between what the government represents right now. in essence, what parliament, the lower house is voted for, is for a ruling which will require people either to prove they've had a very recent negative test. all that they have recovered from a coat, bout of cove it all that they have been vaccinated in order to be able to access all manner of difference. public events, public places, that sort of thing. but it is important. the devil here is in the details because the actual government right now, the caretaker government is in the process of holding a missing with the prime ministers of all the 16 states that make up the federal

republic. and in that meeting, it is quite likely that far more stringent rules will be brought into place. now, certain sources based inside that meeting or people who have access to those who are inside that meeting are reporting on different german media outlets. that's much more stringent rules are to be expected. what's called a to g rules, fi gail eagle in gym, which basically means prove eva, you've recovered all that. you have hand the vaccine in order to get access to all sorts of different public places. and that sort of thing. so lots of ambiguity right now. parliament agreed what many considered to be a slightly moderates package of policies, but the federal caretaker, government and the prime ministers of the states are laboring through right now. much more stringent measures. and we expect to see a little bit more coming out about what will be agrees in the course of the next few hours. and dominic that says, well, those are the parliamentary machinations,

just get a sense of how bad the situation is in germany. that these politicians having to argue over what to do writes were lots of big stats to, to throw out the viewers in that case. the 1st one being that in the course of the last few days and certainly caused this last week. the number of cases that there has ever been has reached 5000000 and is now closer to 5200000. and of course, with each day where you have 60065000 new infections, that number is just going up burn up or not. and indeed that number 65000 plus 65000 plus is the highest it has ever been at the same time. the number of people who have died from cove it in germany is now very close 280-0000 lost count, with something like 98200 or so. and the death rate is hovering somewhere around

about $26270.00 per day. so clearly, if that rate were to continue over the course of the next 10 days or so, it'll go 280-0000, which would be obviously $5000000.00 cases, 100000 deaths. these are serious numbers for anybody to conjure with. and then there are other numbers that stand out. so clearly, vaccination rate who's been vaccinated is and what's happening with boosters and that sort of thing. 2 thirds of the population has been fully vaccinated. a 3rd hasn't and that 3rd of people includes 15000000 on some estimates. adults in this country who have had the opportunity to have the vaccine for many, many months and are refusing so far to have it dominate cane live from berlin. thank you, dominate class, take you know, to greece, where they are now calling up dogs is from the private sector. now, tackle a surge incur with 19 infections. johnson propellers joins the snow at from athens

and john, greece also feeling the pressure here, particularly since their public services have taken a real battering over the last 10 years or so. haven't me? well, that's right. although at the beginning of this pandemic last year, the government doubled over the space of a few months. the number of i c u beds that were available from about 560 to well over a 1000 and half of those currently taken up. so there's a bit of room there for a spike in infections and hospitalizations. what really worries with governments is the rate of increase of the moment. if you look at a graph at the greek centers for disease control for infections, and for this year it's a constantly rising red line across the graph. and it's particular, it's been particularly high in the last week. we've not only had a very big spike in infections in the last week,

but also at the moment we're seeing in the last 24 hours, for example, 87 deaths a day, adjusting for population that has doubled the death rate, the my colleague and it came just talks about germany, a country with a population 8 times the size of creases. that trend shows no sign of a basing of the moment. and that death raises roughly 3 times what we got used to seeing during the summer and early. awesome. so to give you to give you the monthly example, october 547 deaths, so far and november, well over a 1000. and faxing in november is on track for roughly 2000 desk, which is why the prime minister is expected in a few hours to go live to the nation. we think to announce new emergency

measures is also a question. of course, the vaccination here as in germany, greek population fully vaccinated is 60 plus percent compared to an e. you average of 65 percent. the government has been targeting the 2 age groups. the lag behind most the $18.00 to $24.00, and the 80 plus. at the moment there are teams going out, the north of the country are to target, but specifically all the people who remain unvaccinated. and to because that is where the majority of the deaths is taking place in the 80 plus group. but we that has a long term strategy. and we expect that we're going to see some emergency measures limit contact of unvaccinated people with the rest of the population. okay. john surplus, they're some of the situation in agree, so, which is clearly also feeling the strain of this new wave of the pandemic. thank

you. very much indeed, joe and, and as so we were speaking, there were just hearing that the netherlands are, has registered 123000 corona virus cases in just to 24 hours. so really the pressure of this a 4th wave of corona virus, really starting to be felts across many countries in a europe. they stay with us here on out to sarah lots more still ahead, including canada's government. suppose the military to help evacuate people as severe floods, suite, british columbia, will meets the chile and senate candidates in most her sight and sense of smell and taste. as after she was shot in the face by police with a tear gas canister. ah,

hello. hello there, the weather, sloshy set fare for china, for the korean peninsula. and for japan, we got some shabby ranges getting out of the way for japan over the next day or so . but with high pressure in charge. china, at least for the time being, is lottie. settle though, will be a change as we make our way through friday, while the more showers just coming into that southwestern corner of the country. and they will become more ex expansive. why spread as we go? 13 sat stay, not particularly heavy, but there nevertheless raw the gray dahlan dab day for good part of the country. north korea also sing wanted to shout, but lossy, try south korea fine and dry with plenty of sunshine. as is the case by the state of prosecute parts of japan sunshine, his showers may moll across southeast asia. the liveliest showers just from southern parts of vietnam was seen flooding recently into we're thailand, more heavy showers coming through here than this usual splattering of showers across malaysia and indonesia. some of those in the south,

very much on the heavy side, sandy seats, a very heavy rain recently for southern parts of india, this developing system bring more heavy downpours into tom nodded into under the dash and stays rather disturbed there up towards the north west. more heavy showers all the way up to good herat and even the northern plains. ah ah, ah, the me. this is al jazeera, a quick reminder, all the top stories this are under the rocky migrants and refugees. we stopped at

the pool, and feller is border and i find home rocks. foreign ministry is trying to find others embellishments. he also want to leave. will confrontations have taken place between security forces and protest. as in saddam security forces, the frontier gas act demonstrated at least 15 people were killed on wednesday after police open farm. people have been anchored by the military refusal to hon. back parties, civilians, and europe is struggling with the wave of the 19 jeremy's lower house as past due measures and a bit to contain another break in the netherlands is just reported to another record day of infections. the heads of the women's tennis association has questioned the authenticity of an e mail from a chinese tennis star. and why hasn't yet been seen in public since making sexual assault allegations against the former vice premier, the mail states, she's fine and not missing. and that allegations she made in the social media post

were not true. the state of emergency is now in effects in the canadian province of british columbia. after heavy rainfall triggered flooding and mud slides, roads and bridges have also been cut off. and at least one person has died. jodie vance has the details from vancouver. for almost a week, thousands of canadians have been stranded, forced to evacuate or left without a home to return to for steve booth. the record breaking rain in british columbia turned to typical weekend commute into what feels like an unending ordeal. we thought over night in our car and monday night and we were able to find a friend of a friend of a friend who lived in help and was taking people in and we. ready yesterday morning we went there and just got a car was what was hard prime minister justin trudeau has promised support

including to playing the military. i spoke with the premier, i spoke with a number of mirrors last night to talk about how people are doing in this terrifically bad situation. we're also working with them on saving people on sending resources like the canadian, our forces to support people in the situation. but also will be there for the clean up and the rebuilding after the impacts of these extreme weather events. the british columbia premier then declared a provincial state of emergency already strain supply lines are at risk of greater disruption. therefore, as of noon today, the government of b. c is declaring a state of emergency. there's not a person that hasn't been affected or will not be affected by the events of this past weekend. these events are increasing and regularity because of the effects of human cause. climate change canadians on the west coast have become familiar with extreme weather events like the heat dome and the bombs cyclone. this one is being

called an atmospheric river, which dumped a months worth of rain in 2 days. when i 1st started studying climate change 20 years ago, there was this idea that you had to go somewhere else that the canada was wealthy and would be fairly insulated from the effects of climate change. and i mean this summer had just taught us here in canada, but i think people around the world that you don't have to go anywhere. climate change is affecting everyone at home. it could end up being one of canada's most expensive disasters. mudslides have destroyed highways and bridges, cutting off access to the largest port in vancouver and flood waters are still rising in british columbia as agricultural center. historically is the washington state nook, sack river floods 1st, and then that triggers a chain of events leading in to canada. but this time, this extreme rainstorm soaked the fraser valley, even before the connected river systems could flood it. the u. s. flood has b. c, very much, still on high alert and as entire area,

racing for more. jodi vents al jazeera vancouver foot is in chile. i go to the pools on sunday and what seen as one of its most unpredictable general elections of recent history. among those vying for as false in the senate as a woman who drew global attention after she was shot in the face by police. a latin america editor, this in human as in santiago with her story, thought me, william tabula m b. i has found a way to get about the think about a but i yeah, i have to follow the rug. see, i feel the rug and then i know there's the chair, and i know that this is the way to the bedroom. see in actual fact, she's the only one here who can't see the 37 year old mother of 3 was shot in the face at point blank range by police with the tear gas canister while walking to the bus stop to go to work 2 years ago. she suffered multiple facial fractures, lost both her eyes and her sense of smell and taste,
