this is due to reduce live from berlin a high level visit from germany to greece and turkey as the e.u. steps up its efforts to deal with the deepening migration crisis we report from inside europe's biggest refugee camp where children are growing up in tents and shipping containers doctors warn that deteriorating conditions are affecting the youngest 1st also coming up. iraq's prime minister promises he'll responds

to protesters demands after dozens are killed in demonstrations he says the protestors are right to call for an end to official corruption. and u.s. president donald trump publicly calls on china to investigate this potential democratic rival joe biden and his son the appeal comes as the 1st witnesses testified before the impeachment inquiry sparked when the president urged the ukrainian leader to probe the bidens for corruption. i'm brian thomas great to have you with us germany's interior minister is in turkey today for talks about the rising numbers of migrants arriving in europe at a meeting in ankara with his turkish counterpart horse say over all. continued

support for turkey which he said faces enormous pressure from increased refugee arrivals from syria greece in turn is seeing a knock on effect with syrians and other refugees arriving in numbers it is barely able to cope with say hall for will also be holding talks with greek officials and assets. well the un refugee agency says more than 10000 people mostly syrians and afghans landed on greek islands in september alone and over the weekend one woman was killed 17 people were injured after a fire broke out at one overcrowded greek migrant center the fire was at the morea camp on lesbos it's designed for 3000 people but currently houses more than 13000 migrants many of them children wus max under an arm in s.f. went there and sent us this report on the conditions. this tent outside greece's largest refugee camp is home to 4 people.

iman who fled syria has been living here for close to a month the morea camp is 4 times over its capacity so thousands are forced to live in the surrounding all. over a cup of tea i'm on tells us what life in the camp is like crowded dirty and dangerous every day every day and that's normal no. fighting in sight that's normal yeah. but then we. go out we don't want to you don't want a problem with a new one. but problems in morea hard to avoid a fire broke out at the end of september in the camp and at least one person died residents rioted in anger as the firefighters put out the flames and they broke into administrative offices. 0 yeah 7.

since that incident i'm on says trash has accumulated in heaps he believes the garbage collectors are too afraid now to come to the area. its children who suffer most from the dire conditions they live in. the aid organization doctors without borders runs a mobile clinic next to the camp today they will see about 100 children a normal caseload. the most common ailments are fevers lice skin conditions but psychological trauma is on the rise. the organization says many children and morea camp have inflicted harm on themselves and have even attempted suicide in the case he said we are seeing of children traumatize from their a country of origin is for the completely. difficult journey that they took to reach europe to reach less of us and they end up here in

a calm completely overcrowded we don't know services and safe and secure the conditions the mental condition of the children are degree day to day by day this is daily life inside a refugee camp packed with more than 10000 people a result of the resurgence and see crossings to lesbos the trip from the turkish coast to this beach takes about 2 hours and more migrants are making this journey than at any other point since 2016 when the european union signed a deal with turkey to prevent them from coming now with thousands waiting on this and other greek islands for their asylum applications to go through people here tell us the situation has become a crisis a situation that worries younis mastro ghana's he is the mayor of moria the small town right next to the camp. like many people living here he feels lesbos is being left to fend for itself. if it up another share maybe europe should show more solidarity and support greece with this problem greece alone isn't capable of

dealing with this large number of refugees the e.u. member states have to help take in people and at the same time increase the pressure on turkey to stick to their side of the agreement if it was the issue of when you were here. back in the camp i'm on says he doesn't want to be a burden on anyone all he wants is a safe place to live. and he hopes to find his place before winter. as to iraq now and as the death toll from anti-government demonstrations there rises to more than 30 the country's prime minister says he will respond to the demands of protesters authorities have imposed curfews and internet blackouts there's widespread anger over high unemployment official corruption and a lack of basic services. in cities across the country young and mostly unemployed iraqis but directing their anger at officialdom they blame the government for failing to create jobs the authorities heavy handed

response to the protests only increases their resentment. when with we are peaceful but they meet as with bullets and tear gas the government is fighting us but we will carry on and we will not retreat. university graduate mr fay here lives working as a shop keeper to make ends meet. there's corruption everywhere. graduated from the same color just a. ploy but there's no work and that's because of corruption in the government they promise but they never deliver. 2 years after the end of the war against the so-called islamic state terror group there's little sign of any peace dividend. one in 4 young iraqis out of work basic services like water and electricity are unreliable hospitals roads and schools own lack funding. i don't i just love young people have no jobs and no money the countries taking money from abroad but

it doesn't benefit their own people we have very time to look at a video but. we say those who are corrupt should go we have protesting for our rights. but. even the government admits that protest has a right to demand an end to corruption the prime minister is proposing a new law granting families a basic income that may not be enough to end the on rest in the short term 7. iraqi journalist amir masowe is now in the studio to talk about the situation in the country good morning to you amir nice to see you again you're back about a week now from iraq what triggered these protests did you have a sense they were coming when you were over there you know they have a clear demands they just want to reducing the unemployment specially with that people being graduated from the college for the universities and also fighting

ending the corruption which is over iraq institution and the government and the side of that the public service like simple things hospitals which i think the city water and so on we should not forgot that iraq spent fuel from 2005 to now about $450000000000.00 for that sector and nothing happened really those are some incredible numbers $450000000000.00 you know when you look at these protests and how quickly they've spread across the country you know there's a big question can the iraqi government survive this this level of protest i think it depends on what's going to happen today and tomorrow and then the next 24 hours . i think the most important think what's is going to happen today in the friday with the speech of merger a religious leader knowledge of whether they are going to give him. last chance to survive for mr prime minister. of the maggi and the 2nd things is also the protest

coming from the political part of their also a religious leader which also part of participating in the government what are they going be going to do i think the next 44 to 48 hours it's really very important what of the government is going to respond or not we should wait ok now when we see these purchases spread across the country this spread across the mainly shia areas so far the sunni and the kurds have not been joining in these protests why is that for the so in the cities they are really tired from the fighting is so-called islamic state and the 2nd also the. big one to go through the streets there is a geisha in that they could. support the islamic state and they want him back that's why there is that cities and also the kurds they have almost public

services in the end of the day the shia dissolved cities they were the main player in the war against islamic state and they wait 2 years after that and most in and so on just to enhancing that situation nothing happens ok this hour great to see you again thanks so much for coming in to thank you very much. preview down some of the other stories making the news this hour ecuador's president declared a state of emergency on thursday after violent street protests over the government's decision to end fuel subsidies demonstrators clashing with police while transportation workers blocked the streets in major cities around the country . at least 19 people were arrested in the clashes the worst on rest ecuador has seen in years. in france a police employee with a knife killed 4 colleagues at paris's police headquarters on thursday he was then

shot and killed by another officer investigators have not determined a motive the rampage came a day after officers marched through the french capital to protest low pay long working hours and rising suicide rates. in the united states u.s. president donald trump has publicly appealed for china to investigate former vice president joe biden and his son now this comes as house democrats move forward with their impeachment inquiry sparked by information that during a phone call the president asked ukraine to investigate the bidens joe biden is trump's potential democratic rival in his bid for reelection. donald trump certainly cannot be keys to shying away from controversy right now democrats are looking into impeaching the president for soliciting foreign help to win next year's presidential election still trump is on the offensive. well i would think that if they were honest about it they start

a major investigation it is about the very simple and. they should investigate the bike because that is a company that's really formed and all these companies if you look at it by the way like white china just started investigating is it a bias because what happened in china is just about as bad as what happened with. with ukraine democratic presidential candidate joe biden is one of trump's biggest rivals for next year's volley this could explain why trump asked his ukrainian counterpart flaw to me is a lengthy to look into the biden family in a july phone call democrats cite constituted an abuse of power. again they. suggested. and. here. is an illustration that this president or. the 2 years of the nation

is that because you can do anything with. the trump 9 times the support of most of his own party and not to having been silent on the issues so far vice president mike pence on thursday threw his white behind trump. i think the american people have a right to know if the vice president of the united states or his family profited from his position as vice president during the last administration executive order said despite the pressure from democrats trump is scorning the efforts to remove him from power. if you want to drive him crazy just say 8 more years or 12 lawyers 1616 would do it good there with it you'd really drive image of the loony bin. live and that's why they do the impeachment crap because they know

they can't beat us fairly that's the only reason they can't win. but the president is trailing his democratic rivals in several posts so impeachment is not the only thing threatening to end trumps time in the white house. long thursday congressional investigators heard testimony from the 1st witness in the impeachment inquiry against president trump kurt volker was questioned behind closed doors during his role in the president's attempt to persuade ukraine's president tune best to get the bidens poker was trump's special envoy for ukraine who resigned last week after the release of a summary of the president's phone call with ukrainian leaders a lengthy. did of use nick calio joins us now for more on this from kiev good morning to you nick occurred folder's dealings with ukrainian officials are mentioned in the whistleblower complaint what can you tell us about his duties in kiev. good morning vocal was the trumpet ministrations go to guy

for ukraine he negotiated with directly with ukraine but also traveled to russia to try to find some kinds of compromise to resolving the conflict in the east of ukraine is associated with a plan to bring the un peacekeepers to do something that ukrainian side was very positive but which basically failed russian resistance and perhaps most notably for the ukrainian side at least he was given the credit for achieving the sale of lethal u.s. weapons to ukraine javelin and this was something that ukraine had wanted from the u.s. since the beginning of the conflict that the obama administration had refused instead prefer only non-lethal support and supplies so that really is the role as seen here from ukraine and he was definitely seen as a friend of ukraine yeah i'd like to expand on that i think if i could how was he regarded there in. in

a sense always seemed like a very good fit for the trumpet ministration this was someone who was a representative of a more traditional republican foreign policy who. someone seen here who is going to fight for ukraine's interests in a white house that went hot and cold on ukraine and wasn't necessarily particularly interested in supporting ukraine so really he was seen as someone who was responsible for continuity for keeping up the u.s. commitment to this country at a very difficult time in the face of great disinterest often enough in washington ok well in washington the impeachment inquiry is of course expanding its. former ukrainian officials as well expressing their willingness to testify in the u.s. capitol house president dealing with that. well present and anyone who's in office right now doing the most they humanly can to keep quiet and to basically keep their heads down you've seen it time and time again from the

president refusing really to expand on the comments he's made previously saying that he never personally met originally on any present trumps. nor was any pressure put on him that's what he says at least i think ukraine can only lose from this whatever they do they're going to anger one party u.s. political establishment so there's nothing in it for them to win it and here domestically these people are just bad news that ukraine is suddenly at the heart of this battle on capitol hill so not much damage for him internally but internationally obviously very embarrassing very damaging to have all this attention focused on ukraine next thanks so much for that from jeff. it's a hong kong now the government there may invoke a colonial era state of emergency law to empower police to crackdown on anti-government protests of course but in the city for months now officials are reportedly considering a curfew and a ban on facial masks. scenes like this have become common on hong kong

streets every weekend and even some weekdays protesters face off against police many of the demonstrators wear masks and some are warning of dire consequences if a ban on face masks is put into effect. saying. if this regime really wants to suppress the voice of the people like this it will only make the deficiency in our society more serious i think our people won't be afraid they'll continue to hit the streets and use more drastic methods to fight so. such masks are commonly available many people buy them at pharmacies they're one of the few defenses against the widespread use of facial recognition software by the chinese government authorities say that's part of the problem. this law is the best way to help police officers to prevent those violent acts it's challenging for the police officers to collect evidence if the protesters wear masks. but there's

little agreement on whether the move would actually help the authorities to help us matches will tell this and also to crowds greater power to the police to detain protest is that some of the skeptics already expressed their concern that this may they think you know if i saw a phone call and point put out the esteemed doubts that what this will intimidate radical protestors. with no sign of a swift resolution both sides are digging in the situation is likely to escalate. in 2 days to nations are going to the polls to elect a new parliament people rejected many establishment candidates last month when they voted in the 1st round to elect a new president and now a new independent party has launched their own usual campaign to win over voters fed up with political elites and. this is not your typical political campaign here in the tunisian town of what

a self-proclaimed anti-party is hoping to get attention with hunchbacks for beating corruption and symbolic yellow cards against the system i used to see started out organizing cultural events before moving into politics now their goal is very serious they want to enter parliament after october 6. says i suppose you are going to use it with which to me joins in a different way we wanted to approach tunisians with culture we wanted to do activities where there was culture and joy for tunisians who express themselves give their opinion and make proposals. despite being the only country to emerge as a democracy from the arab spring tunisia still suffers from corruption and a stagnating economy making many disillusioned with politics among others apathy h 20 sees an opportunity the party is hoping its approach will win over young people frustrated with the country's political elite. there that is we don't see asked more than 400000 sunni jps was there are problems and solutions are just and

yet we've summarized them and 12 measures of these 12 measures have been approved by more than 1000000 tunisia them and our campaign promises are we will not accept the privileges granted to members of parliament and we will immediately un-band in our political unit. but for some young people the only opportunity they see in politics is the money they can make during the campaign season. in a poverty stricken to a suburb the unemployed know more about how much a candidate will pay to have campaign leaflets disturbed. you did than the party manifesto. you know what we should all of the political parties by people with money during the election campaigns they give about 10 euros to people who sit in cafes doing nothing but they use them to do their campaign work and then they fired and when they become presidents ministers or whatever that's when they send us back to misery. that people don't think about the future

they only look at today and tomorrow how do you want them to think about the future when they have nothing if they make enough money to eat to live and feed their children it's a good otherwise they have no money for anything else where do you see the future. how does disillusionment will play out in the election and whether h 2 n c's approach works only become clear once the polls close. now they have populated south easier for thousands of years but the survival of asian elephants is under threat they live in the wild and are being hunted down by poachers and fall victim to resource competition from farmers our next report their plight and mean more. helping this poor month old get through the hardest part of her day a deep cleaning of the nasty wound on her leg caused by a poacher snare. but then as an adult to watch you know to

let her stay with the other elephants because she's still young and her leg is still in pain we couldn't find her parents and we're not sure whether or not they were killed by elephant porches. the orphaned calf arrived here last month her carers have named her are same after the forced region where she was found she appears to be on the mend but staff warn she's not yet out of danger. our new minorities and the big challenge for us in taking care of baby elephants is to keep them alive. it's kind of a big problem because too young elephants have already died before so these young animals are very important for us fashion that 80 not of them have a mothers to feed them that fed with milk powder. feed us by all of us trainer and competitions are looking after them very carefully and our priority is to prolong their lives i think it is to have several rescued elephants live at this camp.

at lyons and a former logging region where many elephants once served as draft animals around 2000 still live in the wild in myanmar but their habitats shrink as humans clear land for rice and palm oil plantations and more than ever before they become targets for poachers after their tusks and skin. it's turned into medicine and so-called red blood beats highly sought after in china for jewelry. a fashion trend with the high cost researchers warn that the skin trade could wipe out myanmar's wild elephant population in less than 60 years we have some reports now the world of sports rather the world championships continue in doha later today thursday saw a number of top flight performances the multi-discipline events for example pass

along a decathlon produced 1st time world champions the women's 400 meter race featured or the most blistering laps of all times. the 1st asian ever to win the women's 400 meter world title did it at historic pace it took 21 year old saue just 48.14 seconds to claim gold the 3rd fastest time ever. elsewhere another 21 year old sensation stunned his own field germany's nicklaus cowled world junior champion in the decathlon became the youngest ever actually to take the senior title. french favorite kevin maia had been forced out of the competition by injury leaving the field wide open and cowl stepped up to the plate to make the gold medal his own. meanwhile heptathlete catarina jones and thompson produced her 3rd and 4th personal bests of these games this time in the javelin and
