local officials said most of the victims died after jumping off the fast moving train dozens were also injured some of them on the critical condition. the passenger train turned into a death trap as flames engulfed 3 carriages in a raging inferno. officials say the blaze was ignited by a gas stove that exploded as passengers prepared breakfast cooking oil carried by others then caught fire those on board stood little chance as the fire broke out the train was traveling at high speeds through eastern punjab province witnesses say it took nearly 20 minutes for it to come to a halt many of those who died to try to escape the flames by jumping off the train on a. raft soon we saw flames and smoke streaming out of this train. passengers resulting for help and jumping from the train. the

rail real officials arrived and started rescue work. to say that. this was just the latest in a series of accidents on pakistan's railways a lack of investment has caused the system to fall into disrepair but it's the worst disaster on the country's railway in almost 15 years and the death toll could rise further. joining me now is journalist us of how she and he is on the speaking to me from the pakistani capital islamabad welcome us and 1st of all can you bring us up to date with the latest from the scene of the accident. yes what we now know is that the rescue work at the scene seems to have concluded authorities say that about 150 kilometers south of melbourne is where this accident occurred and they are now ferrying those who are more seriously injured to the city of motown which has better health facilities is the major urban center in the area now because the area is so remote and of course the incident took place on the

train tracks so it's not quite close to a rule that cetera so some helicopters i've also been called in the military is providing those to ferry those who are more seriously wounded to the serious burns units or one of the problems that doctors have been facing on the ground is that the closest. does not have a burns unit in the local government run hospital and so they were very quickly overwhelmed and now people are being very doable don as you say authorities have also said that the track closure of the is not going to affect train schedules they claim that trains are all running on schedule and that the train that is currently still stopped on the tracks will be cleared quite soon and what can you tell us about the cause of the accident because it's huge amount of caution. yes what it seems like happened to officials who are reporting on this that it was either the fire was caused by a gas stove that was being used a crude to cook breakfast this morning now this unfortunately is quite

a common occurrence on pakistani trains because while the carrying of gas tolls or things of this nature is actually prohibited on these trains security checks are quite lax when it comes to enter city transport probably rail is the is the most lax when it comes to security checks and so what is quite common is for people to carry their own tools in their own things on board because the israelis are quite long as you mentioned the journey was from the southern city of karachi all the way up to the old bin b. which is typically it takes about 18 or 20 hours for this journey they were cooking breakfast they stayed over they slept overnight if you can because there are 630 this morning when one of the stalls cause the gas burner that was that was fueling it to catch fire and then that internet articles distilled i was next to it to catch fire and that set ablaze one of the coaches know when one of the coaches was ablaze said the 2 adjoining coaches on fire as well and that's why we've seen such high casualties and out of it seems that train accidents i'm not uncommon in

pakistan what's the reaction been to this one. well there have been definite calls for a proper investigation into how it was allowed for these gas canisters to be allowed on board in the 1st place and for those responsible going even as high as there really was minister to resign over this issue as you say correctly this is not the 1st time that we've seen an accident blocks on the real system in fact in the last year we've seen at least 7 accidents happen we've seen at least 2 head on collisions and some do really meant as well now a lot of this is due to pakistan's real incest structure many of the rails that have been laid down and the infrastructure that goes around it is actually from the colonial era still an upgrading this is obviously a huge task that requires a vast amount of investment bugs that has been trying to do this over the years and not used for its own industrial is to be able to move things by freight more easily but given the amount of money that is required and given the paucity of government

resources it seems like that's something that is unlikely to happen right. thank you very much for that update from that. thank you turning now to south africa where police have forcibly evicted scores of livens and refugees who'd been camping out for weeks in cape town around 100 people arrested after a violent clashes in front of a united nations building the migrants are not demanding to state in fact they want to leave this is a recent wave of xenophobic violence directed at african migrants shows south africa is no longer safe. because. they came to south africa to seek refuge or simply a better future now all they want is to get out for weeks hundreds of migrants have been camping here outside the un's refugee agency in capetown demanding to be rededicated to other countries but on wednesday after an eviction order the police

moved in. they fired water cannons and stun grenades. police say they arrested some 100 foreign nationals who refused to disperse. for the protesters the use of force by the police is fueling anger over what they call as an a phobia atmosphere in south africa yes thank god yeah i'm just trying to get it even easier for the next military that mr imus at the time let's have a sunday night that will be afforded a circular definition of for the bus journey but you know even if you but i was going to talk i didn't look for you know anybody anybody just looked at him with a little oh yes i know many migrants from other african countries go to south africa seeking better job prospects. but after

a spate of deadly riots and attacks in september many say they no longer feel safe here. that's why these protesters in cape town have been calling on the u.n. to move them to another country. last week the un refugee agency issued a statement saying false messages were being circulated about resettlement and that only a very small number of refugees and asylum seekers met the criteria. but that didn't stop the protests here. i i after wednesday's police operation remaining demonstrators headed on. so now their new home is a local church where they've been given temporary shelter. on these obvious cars for an object is standing right outside

a very church in cape town and joins me now from the high are going what people saying to you there and what is going to happen to these people. see i'm still in front of the charity are right now you can find a lot of people sleeping outside at the moment some are cooking more even inside and total with said that about 300 refugees and migrants are seeking shelter here at the moment and they're not sure what is going to happen because it is quite unlikely that their demands will be met so many of them are asking to be relocated to a 3rd country they would not want to go back to their home countries because they say it is not safe and it was going to be difficult to find a solution because this 270000 refugees in south africa and i imagine the government or the university i would take a decision to take this group somewhere else it would be likely that others would be interested in such a solution as well and why did you keep going police crackdown so how did on the protest is there going to be an investigation among the level of force you

specially given the women and children that. drive we've all seen these shocking pictures from yesterday and a lot of people are actually calling for an investigation because of this massive force massive use of violence that we've seen yesterday by the police grenades there was a lot of things going on there women were beaten in front of their children but we also have to say realistically it's not likely that such an investigation is going to happen we've seen that in the past often when protests happening the police overreacting and then no consequences and didn't give us a bit about the bigger picture why are these xenophobic attacks taking place and who are the people who are being targeted. you know you're in the middle of i mean when apartheid ended here 25 years ago the hopes are very high for the poor majority that the economic situation would approve for them but the reality at the moment is 60 percent of the young people in south africa unemployed this year alone another half a 1000000 people out of work and this leads to

a lot of frustration but what we also have to say the peak of the violence that we have seen was not in cape town it happened in other cities like in johannesburg and we have a look over here on the other side of the church you can see some shops are. on this side where people are actually selling some odd works to tourists these are mainly nationals from other african countries as well and i talk to some of them they do not disagree with what some people are saying that they're not safe here they're actually not happy that this protest is happening here because it is bad for their business right a complex situation r.d.m. crucial in cape town south africa thank you very much for your reporting. they've been having some other stories making news around the world at least 10 people have been killed and dozens wounded by a car bomb in the town of a free man in northern syria near the turkish border afrin is a mainly kurdish enclave controlled by turkish back syrian rebels who captured the town last year. north korea has $52.00 unidentified projectiles towards the sea off

its eastern coast that's according to south korean and japanese military officials if confirmed as a missile launch it would be. launched the cme it comes amid a deadlock in nuclear talks between north korea and the us. police and indeed it means to me see at least 5 people have been shot dead by separatist militants the attack on workers from eastern india came as a delegation of e.u. lawmakers began a 2 day visit to the region on thursday delhi formally implemented legislation that for moves kashmiris semi autonomous status and places it under direct federal reserve. a court in hong kong has granted an injunction sought by the in battens government which the judge admitted good district the public's right to freedom of speech the ruling bans a publication of material online that quote promotes encourages or incites the threat of violence economic data published on thursday confront hong kong was in

a recession for the 1st time since the gilbert financial crisis its economy's been cut by the ongoing trade war between the us and china and 5 months of increasingly violent antigovernment to democracy protests for the rallies are planned in the city the scene and to coincide with halloween. joining me now is the show on the chosen bill she's in hong kong spotty district where protests are taking place charlotte what exactly does this internet injunction mean for us to forward. that's exactly the question so many people have a ball all the way with don't carry on quick that's what the scope of this injunction will be what i what exactly what kind of communications it will affect. 2nd of all people don't really know how it is going to be enforced bullet

is known is that the injunction public school in snuff incident happened telegram for example was one of those that was immediately a reference today in that court injunction that of course is the platform that so many protesters here use to communicate and used to organize rallies like the one that is just behind me so a lot of uncertainty of it but this is something people have been fearing for several weeks now ever since the government imposed a ban on people wearing face masks in public people had expected that that would be the 1st step of several and it appears today that we do now have that this injunction lasting until they believe the 15th when there will be a formal hearing a what happens going forward so the police are out in force and so are pro-democracy protesters some of them as we've been seeing are in hi-lo in mosques and costumes right spirit is the concern that there could be a new eruption of violence and clashes between the 2 sides. to.

every talk of 5 months of the week clashes on the streets of hong kong there is always a sense of unease when protests in front of like this one behind me get under way today though there is a particular sense of ani that is because where we are right now is the party districts of monk called this is the 1st time that protests have been held here i'm not sure what you can count from the picture just behind me but these streams now our streets this of course how we one of the busiest nights of the year there is real concern here about what could happen if violence does kick off on the street just here if people for example of course to start running either from from the most so-called cells that we've seen on the protesters side old firm tear gas rubber bullets that we've seen from police there really isn't very far that they can go in fact this was the scene back in 1900 you can feed on any of the check 20 people dead. it's there is a real particular idea about protests being held. right to seanna chosen people in

hong kong thank you very much for being us up to date on the protests as you stand in the midst of them. more wildfires have broken out in southern california dozen of them are being fanned by strong winds with gusts of up to 110 kilometers an hour the blazes have led to widespread power outages and hundreds of thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes. a grim dawn in southern california simi valley a blaze has just broken out and it's been found by strong winds a nightmare for local beth rivera her bags are packed but for now she's determined to stay and try to fight for her home. they've started over their capital hill behind the pile of. their neighbors like the.

the temperatures during the summer months are too high. even though you have an economic disadvantage from climate change because we have to make additional investments so that we can compensate for this for example with artificial irrigation. plus we have to find new species that can better cope with these changing weather conditions that are fertile so what. high temperatures paired with next to no rainfall have produced burnt out areas that's meant smaller harvests especially in the last 2 summers including sunflower seeds he's never experienced this in 30 years and it will probably get even worse in the future. before in any case these are considerable economic difficulties they certainly won't cost us our existence. but they will make production considerably more expensive.

last lawsuit aims to force the german government to reduce c o 2 emissions more quickly measures for climate friendly agriculture could also contribute to this mess livestock farming in particular is responsible for a high proportion of c o 2 emissions. this concern is going to you know not every farm has to go organic because it would be great if conventional agriculture fulfilled more ecological requirements. class how long is 26 and works in the cow shed on the farm she supports her boss's lawsuit however she doesn't think politicians can act quickly enough. if go over this this day don't let this mean for an off. i don't think they'll suddenly pull back the curtain and change everything. but i believe that this will force people and politicians alike to think about it. and that's
