western journalist to gain access to the site also coming up hurricane dorian devastates the bahamas forecasters are calling the damage extensive and on the president in the u.s. over a 1000000 people have been door to to leave their homes as dorian approached the. tragedy and see a fire tears through a california diving boat in the dead of night killing at least 25 people 9 others are feared dead. and not just one but too long for births twins have been born to maybe make the berlin zoo's giant panda it's a 1st for the zoo and a major breakthrough for its breeding program. so i'm terry martin good to have you with us. yes the government in bangladesh is

threatening to deport tens of thousands of refugees to a remote island despite warnings from environmentalist's and rights groups accommodation on the island of bus on char has been specially constructed for the refugees the government says it will offer a new start for the written ship but the low lying island in the bay of bengal is barbel to erosion and flooding and critics have condemned the plan our correspondent there may conrad was one of the 1st was with the 1st team of western journalists to be granted access to the site. in the world's largest refugee camp in southern bangladesh fear is rife 2 years ago the government welcomed the influx of breaking into a fleeing me and mom today it is planning to send tens of thousands of them to an island in an area apprentice slightly. thank god not a man we don't want to go to. because it gets flooded and then people will die

children will be drowned for them it's another trap when i lose their lives if we go they will die help us to stay here and get it back it was that what i don't we lost our parents here to save our lives don't send us to pass on chance just kill us here. no western journalists have been granted access to the island until now d.w. was taken to baton child by bangladesh navy which is overseeing the construction works throughout our state we were accompanied by naval offices it took us 3 hours to reach presidential on a naval ship the sea was choppy but relatively calm for this time of the year. what is the longest period that you think ships might not be able to reach the i did it in one rainy bad weather condition leave the 2nd he was talking wanting to maybe want to 2 days or 3 days max if not more that. we have for the navy she would have noticed nobody would. that is because the navy says they have

built sufficient protection against floods and to ration including a 3 metre high embankment. inside a space 410-0000 housed in clusters of identical shelters human rights organizations fear that refugees may be contained on the remote island for years. sometimes this island is described as a jail does that offend you yes. the people who. like floating island. yes they don't understand the island they didn't see that i learned and they don't know about us and if you are providing. the islands 120 cyclists in shelters can be used as hospitals primary schools and community centers to provide security there will be policed posts and cameras monitoring the island

we will part something to then remember it for be a life and if. we help them if they come here it is paradise for burma is there no doubt about that from what we've seen conditions here do seem to be better than in cox bizarre but questions remain around what daily life might be like will there be secondary education for young people what will they do all day can the refugees earn their living and will they be able to leave the island without a special permit and of course what happens here when a cyclon hits. didn't exist 20 years ago islands in the bay of being cool formed by sediments and make up an ever changing ecosystem we showed the footage we took to an expert in sea irrigation. he did. not do.

so. you know that it can be a wasp there we go there it. needs. to be permanent. without an embankment but on china would be too dangerous for habitation experts w. contacted disagreed whether the barrier is high enough but the government seems adamant to relocate rohingya to the island. that we don't have space for them. if they're not really for them. and once the decision has been taken refugees could be relocated in a matter of weeks even against their will. and e.w. sammy conrad who filed that report is with us here in the studio great to see you know me so what's your impression of the camp when you were there were you not

thinking well this is going to be a lot better for the refugees than cox's bazar were hundreds of thousands are living in really difficult conditions well if you look at the settled that itself yes it's an improvement the people would have more space the rooms the area that the camps and stiflingly hot in the summer i mean i went inside some of the huts it's really difficult to spot for me to even just spend half an hour for an interview inside these huts so if you look at the settlement itself yes the infrastructure is a lot better the security the roads a secure but then you have to look at the island itself and the questions that you know we are. tonnesen the reports of whether this island is actually safe whether the flood embankment is high enough so the settlement itself looks a lot better but the bigger questions around the islands and also whether there are a few g.'s would be allowed off the island the they would have free movement those are the questions you spoke of numerous foreign minister about the relocation plans

he suggested that the room hinge or could be moved to the island even if the u.n. objects listen to what he had said what is the most extreme step you could take if the u.n. disagrees would you keep the u.n. agencies out and i wouldn't do. that since we will do so to be clear if they don't support your plan it doesn't shy you will tell them to we have to make a decision and we'll talk to them and see. so it sounds like bangladesh government is absolutely determined to send refugees to this island what is the u.n. saying about it is i mean bangladesh built this settlement fold the right they spent a lot of money on it so of course they want to move the range of it but it's difficult because the u.n. i mean the agencies the footing the bill of this multimillion dollar humanitarian effort i talk to cops is bizarre so they they depend on international donors to feed the refugees to provide schooling for the refugees to you know provide all the

basic health care all the basic necessities that the refugees need so it would be incredibly difficult to to force the refugees to leave against the against the un's wishes it's a difficult situation diplomatically very sensitive at this point apparently a number of the refugees really are saying that they do not want to go to the island they are afraid to go there for the reasons you mentioned if not enough volunteers are found among the refugees how would the government go about forcing them to go yes it's very difficult to imagine them sending in tanks and soldiers of course but what they seem to be doing right now and this just came a couple of days ago is that they want to make the living conditions or difficult in quotes as bizarre so we just heard that they are forcing the telecommunications providers to turn off the internet not to sell some calls during any mall which would basically cut them off from any kind of communication so there seems to be that kind of pressure you know putting pressure on the refugees to make the living

conditions even harder in cox's bazaar which may then lead to a certain number of rangar to maybe sign up voluntarily to move to this island which then suddenly looks maybe more attractive than it does now very quickly how soon do you think we could see those refugees move to the well and there was talk of after the monsoon so in the coming weeks ok naomi thank you so much of course one of the only conrad. now let's look at some other stories making headlines around the world today in hong kong thousands of students have gone on strike it comes at the start of a new semester and after months of anti-government protests there's little sign of tensions easing as protesters push to ensure hong kong's democratic freedoms are protected from china's central authoritarian government. at least 16 people have been killed and over 100 more wounded in a bomb blast in the afghan capital kabul the explosion tore through a large compound housing international organizations the taliban has claimed

responsibility. spanish authorities have rescued nearly 200 migrants who were attempting to cross from north of north africa spain the migrants were saved from distressed boats in the strait of gibraltar and the war in sea on monday some 18000 migrants have arrived in spain so far this year down 40 percent from a year ago. in the united kingdom is such a crucial moment for braggs it a high stakes showdown is expected in parliament today as some lawmakers try to move to block broad prime minister boris johnson's wish for the u.k. to leave the e.u. deal or no deal m.p.'s opposed to a no deal bragg's it including from johnson's own conservative party say they'll force a delay of the u.k.'s exit from the european union now set for october 31st if johnson cannot secure a deal with brussels. if the vote succeeds in opposing johnson's

position the prime minister has signaled he might call a snap election which he says he doesn't want his johnson speaking after an emergency cabinet meeting on monday. i say to show our friends in brussels that we are united you know put us in peace should vote with the government against cool beans pointless delay. i don't want an election you don't want an election let's get on with the people's agenda let's get it done. for 31st thank you very much. from minister boris johnson speaking there well now to a tragedy unfolding off the color fornia coast at least 25 people have been killed when a fire swept through a boat packed with scuba divers 9 others remain unaccounted for and are feared dead fairly serious fairly serious this early morning just driscoll

sounded the alarm but there was little california's coast guard could do the fire quickly told through the boat as it sleeping passengers recreational scuba divers were trapped below deck 5 crew members who were awake jumped into the water and were rescued but more than 2 dozen people are missing fia did authorities don't yet know what caused the fire about they say the vessel was sea worthy. cut the bessel has been a complaint has been in full compliance we are working we are working to live or at least with the vessel owner operator who is with us at this time the 23 major barge called conception was operated by the truth aquatics diving company a floor plan shows passengers slept in a single room packed with bunk beds below dig the vessel has now completely sunk the coast guard has recovered a number of bodies from the floor and is continuing to scour the area we've so many

still unaccounted for sadly families and locals are having to prepare for the worst . elaine. 5 people are dead in the bahamas as hurricane dorian slowly batters the islands the storm has weakened slightly but is still packing winds of over 200 kilometers an hour in the u.s. residents along the southeast coast are holding their breath as the storm inches closer over 1000000 people in florida georgia and south carolina have been ordered to leave their homes it's completely patient it is cars were bashing the bahamas the 2nd strongest storm on record has crushed cars snapped trees and ripped the roofs off homes floodwaters continue to choke roadways making it dangerous for residents to survey the damage the slow moving storm is expected to keep thrashing the island chain but henry and prime minister hubert minutes called the devastation unprecedented tweeting during remains an extremely dangerous storm our focus right

now is rescue recovery and prayer just to the west and up the coast the southeastern u.s. is bracing itself and taking no chances airports canceling thousands of flights. we had a change our flight original flight and we changed it again yesterday we changed it again this morning so we're hoping this is one of the charm we just started out by doing 6 mil plastic all around the house and people like britney get della boarding up their homes in the hopes that they'll have something to come back to once the storm passes if it works it's totally worth it but florida's governor is warning residents against sticking around. when if you're ordered to evacuate you need to do that from palm beach county all the way up to nassau the florida georgia border all those coastal counties may be issued evacuation orders and and it's important that residents heed those calls get out now while you have time. for

a south carolina and georgia have all issued evacuation orders during it's on track to reach their coast between late monday and wednesday night until then people here continue to prepare for whatever durian brings. they're watching t.v. news still the cult. a hateful display as italian football fans taunt store romelu lukaku with monkey chants the strikers demanding more be done to stop racism against. them prelims berlin zoo his giant panda ming bang has given birth to twins a 1st for the mother and the sewin a major breakthrough for its breeding program they make in the cubs are said to be doing fine. they are no bigger than the size of your hand but they are over 80 the new styles of the. day he's

a trying to pretend the cups without success. is now taking care of not just one new poems even though the moment how babies are still be shielded from the public visitors at the berlin zoo i'm more than thrilled. i want to see them but i'm assuming i won't get to see them quite yet but so so exciting especially for the kids that are running around and being able to see. these animals that you would only see on television that their eyes actually be able to see them is such a wonderful thing. i think i think that in time as a born it's fantastic isn't it you know your hopes for the programs and the populace and all that are. good for the 00 draw people and. i am an animal lover so of course i'm just thrilled it's just a shame that we can't see them today they're probably too small. and like his young family members. is already out in trying their son and his daily portion

of penn to shoot he's done his job because the pandas the mother praises the offspring the management is happy to see her fulfilling her mother for the 1st time . for me it was important maiming immediately did the right thing instinctively she got into a good routine of behavior from the very beginning and that's just a great thing that's what i'm going to put on because. pandas are notoriously difficult to breed as females are only fertile 3 days a year that's why artificial insemination was used to complement proper daily personal efforts mom and dad arrived in germany 2 years ago on loan from china and they are due to return back in 13 days just like the cubs who will only stay in berlin for up to 4 years whether they will ever be released into the wild is unclear to many visitors here in the balance to the news about the new bomb panda cubs next to highlight but animal rights activists criticize that there are only of

they cannot make political interest many of the pandas bred in zoos well wide and never released into the wild and if they are they die there shortly after. they say true animal wildlife conservation looks differently. this is convinced that their habitat office everything for successful breeding which helps guarantee the species survival in the future. well kiran stanley has contributed to this success he's the architect who designed the newborns home the panda enclosure at the berlin zoo and he's with us here in the studio good morning karen good morning so pandas are rare in the wild so it's really important that they be given a good environment to live in if they have to be kept in captivity so how do you go

about creating a good panda environment i guess it's a team effort really i mean we have a lot of experience in designing zoos and aquariums worldwide but we really are reliant on the know how of the team. and his team. around surrounding us basically resat down together and created a space where the animals can feel. as comfortable as possible and have everything at their means to help them with. agility with their comfort so i guess it's a team effort at the end of the day so you course have to work very closely with the zoo itself and people who know a lot about pandas pandas are notoriously bad at reproducing here we've got a case of twins being born and of course there's a great reason for celebration at the berlin zoo can kill a good suit environment maybe the one you created actually encourage this

reproductive behavior absolutely i think if we can offer an environment that really makes them feel at home basically it's we want to reproduce their natural habitat as much as possible. humanly possible and offer them as much space and as much of. an interaction and environmental richmond as we can do then and you will automatically see it within their own behavior you will see that affecting the selection of that was in their behavior so i think the fact that my man has become pregnant and has given birth to these amazingly. twins i think it's a reflection of the work that we've done i lead a really happy for everybody who's been involved i can't wait to see them myself the panda cubs are going to be in a brilliant zoo for a couple of years i understand but then i'm told that they will have to go back to china while i write yeah it's all part of

a global breeding and conservation program so they're on loan basically. to draw attention to the need for habitat protection and for this specific species which is seoul and there are so sensitive to their environment that we really want to focus on some. ambassador species to actually draw attention to this so i guess this is part of a program or fortunately you can keep them forever they've got to go home at some stage to the natural habitat for they get released to the wild is a different question i suppose only the future will and answer the question so finally what 2 pandas like bamboo bamboo and bamboo i guess and sleeping a bamboo and sleeping carrion stanley architects and the man who perhaps helped to contribute to berlin having baby panda the rest of things thank you so much for

being with us. well some sports inter milan striker romelu lukaku has called on football authorities to do more to combat racism who was objected to monkey chants before taking a penalty against in their italian league match on sunday which interwoven to one other footballers have sent messages of support to luke was received or jayden sensor said the racism affects players confidence and their love for the sport. racist taunting of a black footballer in a sardine in capital calgary a mistake of all but sadly not unfamiliar after interest the penalty for his side a chorus of monkey noises rang out. back in april moyes the keane received a similar treatment at the hands of the same spectators italian football's problem
