the night's off the blood moon the longest total lunar eclipse of the twenty first century we'll find out what's so special about this astronomical event. i'm phil gail welcome to the program a judge in tunisia has ordered the provisional release from jail of a samba bin ladin's alleged former bodyguard seen here in a german court the man known as sami had been living on and off in germany since one thousand nine hundred ninety seven he was deported to his state of country tunisia earlier this month now a court there has decided there's not enough evidence to keep him in jail. political correspondent simon young has been following this story welcome simon tell us more about sammy and what his release could mean for the german government . well phil some here is
7:02 pm
a national forty two years old he's been living in germany in bochum since two thousand and five and he keys by german authorities as you said of being a former bodyguard of al qaeda chief some of bin laden which he denies but they also say that he continues to pose a and is the miss terrorist threat which is why they were keen to deport him back to his native tunisia which is what happened two weeks ago at that time a german court actually ruled that he couldn't be deported because there was a danger he might face torture in tunis year but when that decision was issued he was already on the plane back to tunis now if he were to be released and sent back to germany well what would it mean for german the german government i think it would be a big headache for them because they like to see this man dealt with in tunis here instead so he was living here for some time if he is he likely to want to come back
7:03 pm
well. imagine that he would do his family is here and since there is a an investigation continuing and into his past affairs in tunis year maybe he'd feel more comfortable in germany but it would appear that the judge's ruling in that decision today in tunisia made no reference to banning him from traveling but despite in addition to the fact that there's an investigation continuing the authorities have also confiscated his passport we're told so it seems unlikely that he'll be able to travel at this time simon young thank you. now to greece where our forces are facing increasing criticism of the way they handled this week's deadly wildfires and their failure to order an evacuation at least eighty seven people were killed many of them in the seaside resort of mattie east of athens authorities
7:04 pm
suspect the blaze there was started deliberately. paradise lost of ad it is a central line the mediterranean sea claims as blue as ever but on shore so many of the homes and hotels that once stood here are gone. on monday the flames charge through here at sixty kilometers per hour almost everyone fled towards the bates's only the firefighters have the mains to try and resist the flames often in vying. and this is their first time in thirty years of my service. seeing so much. of it sometimes we can cause it's something. to stop this investigators say the blaze took just ninety minutes to race down the mountain towards the coast many residents simply had no chance to escape and while
7:05 pm
monday was extremely hard and we need grace the government suspects the worst fires were no accident. in the metro i would like to stress that we have serious indications and findings of criminal activity namely arson. the police are also still trying to identify victims relatives of the missing have been gathering need their forensics lab the agony is compounded by anger at the government which they choose of botching the evacuation of residents one confronted grace's defense minister as he visited victims. you know no one notified anyone to fire engines didn't come to nothing you leftists of the messy of god and now. the residents would sit by monday's blaze were living in an area known to be prone to fire breaks are now asking why authorities weren't better prepared and why so many perished
7:06 pm
they don't need correspondent shell that tells them pillars in the coastal town of massey which is worst affected by those welcome charlotte an investigation has begun what are you hearing. that's right well we've heard now that the government as we had in that report do you think that also maybe in response to that these fires here in muncie was started deliberately the reason that they gave is that they found that the prize was found in thirteen separate locations they were thought to have started at the same time the government now authorities are analyzing satellite footage trying to find out exactly how they were started there is some criticism they can skepticism about this idea that austin may have been responsible we spoke to one woman who used to bang the properties just hid behind me and she was saying that she simply doesn't see a motive why someone might think she set fire to this area deliberately she said one theory of course is that people might do it to try and burn down woodlands to try and create more space to building properties but she said that that he doesn't
7:07 pm
stand up as an agent she said a lot of houses are standing was standing empty here before the fire people were unable to sell them the idea that people were looking for more space to build more properties just isn't cool as opposed to say there are still so many questions here that have been left on arms that greece's opposition has accused the government of iraq and some failing to protect people given the large loss there in moscow i wonder how people there are reacting. there is the rising public anger here in greece as you had there in that report the defense minister was confronted by one local as he came by here that a lot of the people that we've spoken to they say that they are just happy to be alive don't forget a lot of people are still looking for relatives there are still people missing the people who have lost lost loved ones lost neighbors there is just relief but from the survivors that they are still here one of the criticisms though that's being leveled at all sources from people here is exactly how houses behind me were able
7:08 pm
to stand now the problem that we have here is that this house among a number here was built illegal a awhile ago and it looks the roots along the beach so people were found that they were all able to try to reach the safety of the wall. that essentially blocked the exit route for them many of them were traps the fact that the holes that are in front of them along the seafront means people simply couldn't escape some people then reached the cliff just on the waterfront and then fell to their deaths just because they couldn't find steps leading down to the beach so so many people here also see exactly why the government was able to do something about that why this sort of house was able to stand for so long when of course it's really contributed to the scale of this tragedy and briefly if you mind charlotte how do people now start to move on from this. well people just living hour by hour at the moment as i've said those still trying to find a lot of the missing people are trying to salvage what they can from their homes
7:09 pm
but they do say that they've been conned a little bit by the fact that government has promised to office and money to help contribute towards salvaging their homes whether or not so when they receive that money they're not yet sure but they are hopeful that something will still be offered by the government so much else until in massey thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world more than thirty migrants safely landed their boat on a spanish beach on friday morning and fled into the surrounding area the vessel was pursued by police probe but managed to cross from the straits of gibraltar this comes just a day after more than six hundred migrants breached the spanish border fence many of them seeking asylum. israeli police have reopened jerusalem's al aqsa mosque a street was closed in response to clashes between mostly worshippers and israeli police the police spokesperson said security forces went into the compound in pursuit of suspects who launched firecrackers and then barricaded themselves inside

7:11 pm
a few years ago had thought impossible an election victory for a turnaround matched only in prominence and impact by this the when he secured us pakistani cricket captain against england in the one nine hundred ninety two world cup. with a reputation as a celebrity playboy con long struggle to be taken seriously in politics after founding his p.t.i. party in the one nine hundred ninety s. for years he failed to translate his personal fame into votes. the breakthrough came in two thousand and thirteen when the p.t.i. became the third largest party in the national assembly the surge and support partly down to young urban voters wanting change that desire just is palpable now. the population is almost two hundred one million currently and over seventy percent of the people live below the poverty line so for the country to progress the lives
7:12 pm
