and they'll use what's left of this cardboard box to heat today's first cup of tea . that's. from iraq he's been here on the island of lesbos for two months know in a makeshift camp just outside the morea refugee camp. we are many. three but we don't have. a different just. next door is the official camp it looks like a high security prison made for refugees that have come to the greek islands in the hopes of continuing on to north and europe they have to wait here until their asylum applications have been processed authorities strictly for bit filming here.

who are ever you'll look you'll see garbage and thesis and people living right in the midst of it the refugee camp is full far beyond its capacity and with more people arriving than leaving conditions here are getting worse every day. wants to show us what's happening inside the camp so we follow him with a hidden camera. the air is filled with the stench of smoke garbage and feces the united nations high commissioner for refugees or u.n.h.c.r. recently said that moria was dangerous for women and children but they are the ones who must stay here. it seems like a miracle that epidemics haven't spread within the camp yet. please don't give. me just. security

what. you see. many refugees have taken matters into their own hands to stay warm now that it's getting colder they simply lied old trees. these trees belong to local residents feel this and still use visits his fields he has to struggle to maintain his composure. well off to come in but about all these trees are burnt anybody there's nothing left of these trees won't grow again they're finished there one hundred twenty trees and now there's only four of all of the others and nobody cares the authorities won't stop this they got in a fight or compensate us every night these people cut down the trees and burn them . the village of moria is in a state of emergency. in other villagers me to regularly to

discuss ways to deal with the situation with. the local mayor nikos truck haley's has just returned from talks with the greek government in athens the news isn't good. if the situation goes on like this it won't take long before we have physical confrontation up to now we are tolerating the looting of people's assets and it's fortunate that things haven't become violent yet. but it's a matter of time before that happens. ahmed al majid left his country to escape violence he doesn't want to be lumped together with lawbreakers he wants to leave less because but for now a ferry ticket to athens remains just a distant dream. situation

clearly escalating on les let's bring in now claire seaward humanitary campaign manager with the end geo oxfam she joins us now from paris good morning to you thanks for being with us this morning. you know we just slowly report there the situation is threatening to be to escalate on lesbos right now authorities there are accusing the greek government of allowing the island to turn into a giant prison from what you've been able to assess is that the case and he should be no doubt that the situation unless the us both within moria camp and outside truly pulling out on acceptable and i've westin refugee sitting settings across the welt and this is that i have to say what we absolutely need to see is people being able to leave the island as part of the process in their asylum claims there's a containment policy put in place by the greek government with the support of other

european member states that is keeping people there there is no way really to improve the situation on the island that's the solution has to be being able to allow people to move to the mainland whilst their son playing gets its head and processed ok say move to the mainland but what's the situation there is lesbos unique or are we seeing similar conditions on the mainland where the refugees migrants would potentially be heading. the situation in mainland is better i'm not saying it's perfect and there's work to be done there too but it is by no means anywhere near as bad as what you're seeing on lets the silence at least on the mainland you have people living in proper accommodation not squashed into tents they have access to services they have they have the possibility of being somewhere safe while they wait their asylum claim to be had there is more to be done absolutely that response to the greek government and europe has a response they to support them in that but is it is by far a better solution than keeping people in the islands now ok saying more needs to be

done one of the points one of the you called bottlenecks where where this is all being held up is the asylum process that it takes too long for people to have their cases adjudicated is this what needs to be addressed what needs to be changed to improve the situation in the cams i think there is there's several things that need to be done on multiple levels. one is that yes these prices need to be done faster and the greek saddam service has been struggling to keep up that needs more support and investment. but but let's be clear you can't improve what's going on in the audience particularly there is no way to make it back to the best thing that could be done is that people arrive on one island yes get their fingerprints taken and then they move to the combination on the mainland site so they can sit there because it's on pricing does take a little bit of time but frankly one week is too long to be sitting on in those

conditions as as your viewers have seen this morning claire seawards humanitarian campaign manager with oxfam thank you so very much for being with us this morning. and now for some of the other stories making the news at this hour calming winds may help thousands of firefighters battling a massive blaze in southern california infernos calls two deaths and destroyed more than one thousand structures new evacuations were ordered number of areas over the weekend the fire which is being called the third largest in state history as driven thousands of people from their homes. north korea has marked the sixth anniversary of the death of former leader kim jong il in pyongyang thousands of people carrying flowers came to pay their respects kim ruled north korea for seventeen years until he died in two thousand and eleven and was succeeded of course by a son. in south africa thousands of members of the ruling african

let's cross over to our financial correspondent daniel cooper standing by for us in frankfurt daniel after one week of trading at the c b o e and sunday's launch at the c.m. eve what's the verdict fairing. well the verdict monica's actually very positive i was having a look at the chart of the big con future at the c b o e and you know many investors were fearing that the charge and you know would go dramatically up and then would go dramatically down again but that actually wasn't the case but you also have to remember that the future trading is sort of a little bit regulated as well trading us just alone during certain hours during the day and there's actually a limit of class and minus twenty percent that investors can do their trading and investors will be monitoring very closely now the launch at c m even because the big hype that we saw at c.b.r. you just mentioned it didn't happen so far ok you said that there is a little bit of regulation already there because critics including france want to

beat cohen to be regulated more properly i mean what exactly do they have in mind. well they're pretty much have in mind that you know those banks like the fact in the united states all the european central bank could have the sort of regulation also the head of the institute here in the unit is calling for the same and that's also a reason why the operating company here at the frankfurt stock exchange was just announcing last week they don't see even a bit coin future here taking place i guess if we would saw if you would have sort of for regulation we would not even see this big hype of the bitcoin again because that is the interesting things for people that are so fascinated about bitcoin that it's you know not regulated pretty much at all right down your coping from thank you so much for this. amazon only has

a letter of condolence from chancellor and young enough bones speak on camera too many tears she says the attack in berlin set of the usually tranquil region of western poland many locals are further dismayed by the way the german government reacted to wounds. it was only in march this year three months after the attack that a commission of the relatives of the victims was appointed. i think none of us was really prepared to say that what happened in france could happen here oblivion as a result we made an error in judgment. it wasn't enough for the president of germany to speak with the victims' relatives. it should have been the chancellor that's regarded as a major shortcoming on the part of the government. because mungo informed involvement. angry at german authorities at the
