a benchmark the 70th anniversary of the communist takeover there but will that it anniversary meet overshadowed by the unrest hong kong. i'm brian thomas thanks so much for joining us at least 2 people have died in a fire at an overcrowded greek migrant camp the dead are reported to be a woman and a child that plays striking the mariah camp on the island of les voss a fire was later put out but residents at that camp angry at what they saw as a slow response clashed with police conditions at the mariah camp are at a breaking point after a recent spike in migrant arrivals from turkey. misery upon misery on the greek island of last boss migrants scramble to escape

a cloud of tear gas fired by police as a tragic chain of events unfolded at the mario camp. the fire broke out inside the camp quickly spreading through containers used to has residents there are conflicting reports about what happened next and then go working in the camp says a group of migrants rushed to extinguish the blaze and police used tear gas to chase them away. police say they fired tear gas to disperse rioters i heard by the time a talk to the deadly fire. what's undisputed is that a group of migrants attacked firefighters who arrived on the scene a video posted on facebook shows the damage it does you know police officers were flown in from athens to help restore calm conditions of moriah have always been

difficult but in recent months they've gotten worse migrant arrivals to greece from turkey have surged reaching their highest level since 2016 when the european union signed a deal with ankara to stem the flow. about 12 peasant people are currently has done the camp though it's only designed for a quarter of that number the deadly fire and rioting will increase pressure on the greek government to ease the situation with the harsh winter months approaching fast. let's go straight to athens now we're joined by correspond the chorus of a good morning to you have they do we know anything more about what might have caused this fire or a cab. well there are conflicting reports as to what in fact caused this blaze. of by one account it was caused in fact by this woman who was killed in this blaze because she started cooking in her container and that

quickly spread by other accounts there were 2 separate fires one fire that was set outside the camp and then within 20 minutes another fire set within the camp which kind of shows an orchestrated and premeditated kind of attempt either way the chaos that kind of ensued and what happened simply underscores the abysmal situation in what is being called europe's most embarrassing refugee camp 13000 people crammed in a camp build to hold 3 sow's. the businesses the right word the images we're getting show just how over crowded this camp is can you tell us something about about the riots as a result of this fire. well there are the riots of actually what happened what ensued was that once these these fires took place. that many of the

refugees who were in there and who have been extremely frustrated by very long stays simply rioted because of the asylum process that is taking so long that however as far as rescue attempts had had a very negative impact because the fire fighters could not move in and eventually the police riot police had to move in and fire some tear gas to disperse these militant migrants and to bring about some calm and to get this rescue operation going eventually the fire was doused out by water planes and there is some degree of calm now at this camp but there are great fears among the locals that it's just a matter of time before new riots will be triggered low supposed to seen a real spike in the number of the migrants coming over from turkey what's the

government doing to deal with the situation. well the new government that has been installed here since the july national elections is really acting faster is trying to act fast on this it's holding and it's putting together an emergency meeting another emergency meeting to deal with this migrant issue it wants to beef up controls and security along the route here to stop these. migrant smugglers from coming in from turkey and bringing in this influx of refugees its appeal to the european union before in september that appeal fell on deaf ears and now it's also saying that it will intensify the asylum procedures. to speed up the pace of this is silent process that is creating. this problem in this camp thank you so much for that from our. let's preview knowns on the other stories

making the news this hour migrants rights groups have demonstrated in guatemala against the deal that prevents central americans from making their asylum claims inside the u.s. citizens of guatemala el salvador and honduras now have to apply for asylum in their home countries instead under a deal reached with the trumpet ministers. carmaker v.w. is facing a court case brought by nearly half a 1000000 of its customers in that case beginning today the customers say the w. deceived them and cause them harm when an install software and its beagles to cheat diesel nations chaps. several u.w. executives have already been charged in connection with the scandal. it's to china now are celebrations are taking place to mark 70 years since the communist party party came to power presiding president xi jinping attended a reason laying ceremony on stemmons square to remember the millions of people who

died in the civil war that ended in communist rule the main anniversary celebrations are to take place tuesday with a huge military parade on tiananmen square and then address fired president she. did have used the ts building a joins us now from beijing today mathias said chinese authorities have launched a massive security effort for this anniversary can you fellows on the. yeah. parts of the city have been closed down that of course concerns the road where that goes from east to west once straight through beijing where the parade is taking place this order was built for these parades to take place this is closed off but also many other government buildings and other. places in in in town. there are restrictions on the use of radio equipment for example that concerns for

example public wife high spots as well and there are other restrictions that came out one of them is that you cannot. have these balloon lumpiness powered by a candle that people like to lift up in the air on on special occasions drones of course are also forbidden they're always forbidden at this and so this will be enforced more strictly and it is these public events calm has the chinese communist party confronts crises a number of the 27 year alone economic growth and of course the ongoing protests in hong kong. yes this is true the communist party has built its legitimacy what he sees as its legitimacy on nationalism during the past 30 years as obviously communist ideology does not really match the situation on the ground in china so these raids these nationalist displays of power

. extremely important to the communist party the military follows the rays of china as a world power the story that they are telling the population that they are telling the population to be proud of and of course there will be little mention of the economic problems the trade dispute but also internal economic problems dept et cetera et cetera slowing growth and of course hong kong protests have been censored carefully cheering the whole sum up especially in the last takes one to say so much from beijing those commemorations will be underway for a number of days thanks very much it is. it's 2 austria now where the former chancellor sebastian cortes is set to return to power after a sweeping electoral victory that saw his conservative people's party when the biggest share of the vote the poll was called after the present previous government collapsed may that following a scandal involving kurtz's far right coalition partners the freedom party. the

recent scandals that triggered the government's collapse apparently didn't hurt sebastian courts at the ballot box i. the former chancellor is poised to return to power the results show his people's party is the clear winner support for the conservatives jumped more than 5 percent i was thank you thank you very much my dear friends i lost the confidence vote in may. the past 4 months were difficult and today the people voted us back into power thank you very much i mean there were many long faces at the headquarters of the conservatives former coalition partners the far right freedom party decides an expense scandal a covert video showing former chairman heinz christian struck appearing to offer favors to a woman posing as a potential donor devastated the populace their support tumbled by some 10 percent

. unfortunately the results are not a mandate to resume a governing coalition now the once and likely future chancellor will have to be creative the slightly weakened social democrats with nearly 22 percent of the vote or a potential coalition partner so are the greens they almost quadrupled their support to 14 percent enough to re enter parliament. the they hadn't any we will soon be holding talks with other parties above all the people's party that's correct i've been striving for that but it will be a discussion about possibilities and whether it makes sense to hold talks at all for handling on something it could still be days before all postal ballots are counted then the focus will shift to the difficult task of coalition building and deciding the balance of power in austria. so what's ahead for austria deb used max

hoffman following this vote for us in vienna good morning max there are a number of coalition options today for some boss the courts the once and future chancellor what are his most likely choices do we know. are those 3 options in the report brian and let me walk you through them so 1st of all you have the freedom party the far right freedom party that seems like a very unlikely option at the moment because the freedom party itself has said they want to go back into the opposition and if they change their mind which is not a given at all it would probably not be a very viable coalition with all the scandals of the last months then you have the social democrats but the social democrats and as a bus to austin peoples party are very far apart on different topics especially when it comes to social policy and migration so that basically leaves the greens and many experts here in vienna think that is the most viable option of course they also have differences social policy on migration but it won't when it comes to the

economy or a green economy they might find a solution there it'll be hard talks they need to bridge a gap they need to align their positions it won't be easy but as i said it might be the most likely option at the moment ok so everyone looking at the greens right now what about the freedom party they took a real beating at these polls in the wake of that corruption scandal how much are they still a force in national politics in austria right now. they did take a beating with 10 percent that is significant still they got 16 percent that's not nothing so it means they really have a very strong 'd core electorate that is unaffected by all those scandals so the measures are basically they want to go back into the opposition they want to have internal compliance to boyd corruption as its surface of the last months in the future and they already crashed out of 3 governments in the past but they

always came back so you know chances are they'll come back this time as one ok well what about this election and its influence on the european union as the e.u. looks for more unity inside the block on issues like migration is something we're reporting on a lot this morning. austria has often been seen as a lab of sorts for the rest of the european union on a small scale and you can you can tell that a lot of of the conservative parties are looking towards austria 1st of all because of the successes of us their quotes can they copy it and 2nd of all because they've been trying to hug up to the greens to get some more climate competency and if the you really have this conservative green coalition here it could be a blueprint for the rest of europe and of course we expect austria to change its hardline migration policy at least slightly if the rains come into a coalition max often thanks so much for that from vienna this morning max. this is deja vu news live from berlin still to come on our show 30 years ago

a dream came true for thousands of germans trying to flee the communist east look back at the event that changed the course of history. but 1st turkish president bunch of tired everyone hopes anew safe zone in northeastern syria will do 2 things give him a location to repatriate syrian refugees and at the same time a militarized area to make sure kurdish militants stay away from the southern border and he said he was determined to establish that saves own by now the end of september but his government and the united states have different ideas about how big that zone should be one says all act alone if there's no agreement now syrian refugees in turkey say some are already being deported back home to areas including in the north which they say are far from safe did i met a woman whose son was sent back against as well. mohammed has been gone for almost

2 months when often a show thinks about what happened to her son she feels helpless lost. in early august mohammed was riding a friend's motorbike in istanbul the bike was and just as mohamed was stopped by police and then sent to a detention center. about 12 days later i got a call from mohamed. he said they've taken me to syria to live that was his last phone call i haven't heard from him since. when have rhymes are not broken when me fled from syria he was still a small child. now they have sent him back to that place. and i don't know where he is.

istanbul's fattish district is an area where many syrians live many here for heard that the turkish authorities have been deporting refugees in recent months and most of them are afraid that they could be next. when they started sending people back i was so scared i didn't leave my house with. the army they already have and there are more restrictions on us now people are being deported back to syria but we can't escape turkey for europe anymore because it's too dangerous. started to. go and then was and we syrians used to feel welcome here in rio we learned it's changed a little bit alarming about how we feel like unwanted migrants again. turkey has taken in more refugees from syria than any other country more than 3600000 people in the space of

a few years hundreds of thousands live here in istanbul they set up stores of breast strongs they've tried to build new lives while turkish society initially responded with more marketable resilience hospitality is now rapidly wearing fit. took both iran see more of them come i don't want to live in this neighborhood and in this country anymore. it's maybe. i get along very well with most of the syrians here there are some bad people but you get that everywhere you go and i guess we want them to leave as soon as possible we don't want them here anymore because the. president. has recognized this change in public sentiment in the past few weeks he has made repeated promises that millions of syrians will return home to a so-called safe zone that he wants to establish in the north east of syria. but

the government insists deportations are not taking place and that syrians who are returning are doing so voluntarily. that matter check through those disagreements the lawyer is trying to help get off the racial son back from syria mohammed and his family have valid turkish documents and protection status checkers has filed an appeal with turkey's constitutional court. sending a person to a war zone is a serious human rights violation of the mohammed is not an isolated case with hopefully this is happening to many syrians many have been deported in recent months some of the. last lawyers says that many deported syrians attempt to return to turkey making a 2nd escape from their war torn country illegally and often at a high cost paying

a lot of money to smugness and as dangerous as that might sound. mohammad's mother ofa is clinging to any hope that she might see her son again in safety. and we have much more on the issues surrounding migration at our website d w dot com well 30 years ago today thousands of east germans fleeing communism made their way to the czechoslovak capital prague their destination the west german embassy there which they were hoping to use as a staging point to get the freedom and west germany their gamble paid off and on the 30th of september $989.00 they packed onto these trains heading west 3 decades later some of them have been retracing their steps. just. a journey back in time. 30 years ago hill much sand was traveling in
