this poisoning actually stands today we'll what we know is that a lab test from the german armed forces confirmed that no new found he was poisoned we've never chalk and then this was verified by 2 foreign labs in france and sweden of a child is a nerve agent that was developed in soviet russia and nots where this political element comes in because there is very strong suspicion that the kremlin may have been behind or at least knows more than it is saying russia it must be said denies and involvement but european leaders particularly germany have been pressing moscow for answers what we do know is that there is an investigation by the body that governs the use of chemical weapons because this would be a bad at this would be a greet each of of that ban the use of novacek is not only for a moment of but also a political. appearing to be on the mend at least do you have any idea what we can

expect next from. will interesting lee his spokeswoman came out today and said that he did want to return to russia and she said that she was surprised that people might think otherwise we know that novell news health is improving but what doctors here at the shop 80 have said is that they joint nor yet the long term effects of of that poisoning and so we really have to wait and see in the valley says he wants to go back what we just have to wait and see exactly how long that process might take in his eventual recovery to the use joe drained at the show it to you hospital in berlin or in stride. government sources here in berlin report that germany is to take in around 1500 migrants from the greek islands. pressure is mounting on the e.u.

following a fire that destroyed the morea refugee camp on the island of lesbos police say they've detained 5 people in connection with a fire that's left 12000 homeless rick officials are urging migrants to move into new shelters on list costs but no one believed lesbos without having 1st entered the temporary camp a government minister told a greek radio station many migrants though the situation there could be worse than before. at the back of a long line of hungry people waiting has become part of life on the island of last boss man at the front 8 workers handout bags of food and. since the morea camp and down migrants have been camping out on the streets they return to the roadside to eat it's a simple but desperately needed meal and soon it will be time to start queuing for the next. images from the and show new shelter tents for thousands left

homeless hundreds have already been resettled and sites like this but others still moving to the new camps will just perpetuate their misery if the good to new camp moriarty again is to start about to me we experience a one year more e.r. i think it's enough to do to stay just fine and to live because he's an infant to make a peaceful. protesters have been demanding to be allowed to leave less force nearly $400.00 unaccompanied children have already left 3 year of these women and children and here to germany to get them off the island to. now it appears that courts have been heard reports say germany plans to take in an additional $1500.00 migrants mostly families with children from the greek islands. but doesn't want to go it alone and it's pressuring the e.u. countries to step up to the plate and take in some of the migrants.

was leaving let's just can't come soon enough for these protests does he say that as long as there are men on the island they will never be free. of them on these developments we've got our chief international editor richard walker with us and our correspondent mike sunda who is in moria in greece richard 1st to give us more details about these reports. yes well the reports emerging say that germany is getting ready in a cabinet meeting tomorrow of the german government agree on a plan which would see 1500 refugees come to germany and these are made up of 400 families whose asylum applications have already actually been approved now one interesting detail that's coming through in the reporting is that these people are not all necessarily from the morea camp or even from the island of lesbos but from

the greek islands more broadly as well and i think that there is this going to be a certain pressure certainly not to give the impression of potentially giving incentives to refugees to take dangerous actions because the greek government says at the moment that their suspicion is that the fire in the morea camp was actually lit by one of the people living in that camp or some of them so i think that will definitely be a concern now this package of 1500 is also in addition to 150 unaccompanied minors that the government had already said that it was planning to take in. mexico it's you you're all if you're just inside that area where many of the migrants are being held how is this news likely to go down there. we're scared during the restricted area right now and as you can probably tell from what you can see behind me this is a place of suffering people these people managed to escape the fire in the morea

camp but they find themselves in a situation that is probably just as bad at the moment you can see behind me people have started constructing simple shelter with tents with blankets with anything that could pull out of pull out of the camp or anything they could find and it's incredibly hot here people are suffering from dehydration and hunger but people also here are quite distribution about the situation. many of the men have been here for months some of them have been here for years so this news might give some of them hope but in the long run it's probably going to be too late for them. to come back to you here in germany why is this issue of migrants so controversial. well i think migration has the power to great controversy in almost any country but in germany of course there is recent history here of the 2015 migration crisis

where germany took in more than a 1000000 people and there are still very differing views on whether that was the right thing to do now you do have some people who are seeing the kind of scenes that max is describing there and going out on the streets even through doing here in berlin recently saying that the government has to do much more to help we should be taking in many people but the government is also wary of fueling populism because you know in the wake of the 2015 crisis the far right populist a.f.d. party won a lot of support and became a significant force in german politics now its support has cooled off a little bit since then but this is certainly the sort of situation that they are always ready to pounce on also there's a european level to this whole thing the german government says that it really wants a revamped european way of distributing refugees among all member states that is something that central and eastern european countries are not keen on but i think that's going to have a fresh impetus now because people are going to be looking at what has happened in

moria and saying this is a reminder that this problem is far from being solved. you the greek government is not necessarily behind this plan is it wants the migrants to move into temporary facilities what what's the position that the greek government is taking. while this plan seems to have been discussed at the highest level of the greek can german governments or 1500 people that's that's a lot of this is only a fraction of the numbers of people who are here the stock or let's pause. in the entirety of the the greek islands so the greek authorities here at the moment it seems are really trying their best to get back into control. to show that they are in power they have issued an order to refugees here in migrants to come to their facilities to to move to the new temporary facilities and told them that if they

don't go there there's no chance for them to ever get of the on the because only then there is silent process that there is child cases will be processed. on lesbos and richard walker here in berlin thank you very much. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world 2 dozen hong kong pro-democracy activists have appeared in court to face charges of illegal assembly commons movement members include himalaya and joshua won't they stand accused of taking part in a band event in june that commemorated china's $198910.00 young men's crackdown. an appeals court in algeria sentenced a high profile journalist to 2 years in prison on charges of endangering national security supporters called for the release of let's try any who was arrested during anti government demonstrations in march is case has been seen as a test of press freedom amid a growing media crackdown. u.s.

president donald trump is back in washington after meeting with officials in california who are battling the worst wildfires on record there and in 2 other western states trump downplayed arguments that climate change is fueling the recall blazes. these are some of his scenes providing the backdrop to the president's visit to california. raging wildfires that have burned millions of acres wiped out whole communities and left dozens dead. scientists they have places like these are being made worse by climate change. but donald trump spoke of other concerns after landing in california to meet with top officials. and we have to do a lot about forest management obviously forest management in california is very important. california governor gavin newsome said those concerns were justified but

he and other officials went on to press trump on climate change just as they are forced management the science is in and observed the evidence is self evident that climate change is real and that is exacerbating this if we ignore that science and sort of put our head in the sand and think it's all about vegetation management we're not going to succeed together protecting californians ok it will start getting cooler but i was just you just watch i wish science of anybody about it but . i don't think science knows actually. and earlier that day harsh words from trump's democratic presidential rival joe biden if you give a climbing arsonist 4 more years in the white house why would anyone be surprised that we have more america blaise if you have a climate denier 4 more years in the white house why would anyone be surprised when more of america is underwater. but trump has his supporters even in deeply

democratic california i was this place by the taubes fire i woke up with my city in flames and the democrats have not done their due diligence policy wise and so if there is a component of global warming it is a very very small component because the democrats are failing california meanwhile firefighters on the front lines face challenging conditions with shifting winds and drier weather sparking several new blazes. well they don't use us on this beautiful it does with me in the studio to have a closer look at this argument. as they've become highly politicized. which while other playing in trumps complain strategy yeah i mean us we as we heard in that report you know this was a very quick visit in and out in about 2 hours so it really shows that you know for a candidate trump who is up for reelection and and you know just over 6 weeks this really shows it's not a top priority he waited more than 3 weeks to really speak on these wildfires and

meantime he went gold saying he tweeted about you know the report. is approval ratings share false information about voting did a slew of things that show really that he was not very interested in what was going on in california and in oregon and washington and why is that well you know this close to the election we can be a bit cynical about it maybe because this is about winning and the reality is that we are looking at states that are reliably democrat they've gone to the democratic candidate for over 30 years trump has close to no chance of winning in either of those states and you know we were expecting very similar results this time around as well so. i think that the reason that trump decided to go there after all was that you know he has come obviously under fire for his handling of the coronavirus endemic we saw revelations last week showing that he knew about it so that he will

fully accept the loss of life. you know for maybe potential political gain and i think with these wildfires there watching those thinking you know that could turn into a similar headache this is not for tonight he also for trying to show leadership we heard that woman in the report you know casting blame on democratic leaders and that is a strategy that trump has picked up on saying you know the democratic leaders in the state all democratic governors have essentially failed their own citizens they should have paid more attention to stuff like forest management and saying that they really to some extent cost these fires or are to blame for these power. let's come to this very argument how realistic is that what book role does forest management play in these forest fire was versus climate change or is it is it a mixture of both what what is it right you know it's a person agree to a large extent with the president that forest management is not just important in

scent essential in keeping a lid on these fires thus thing is that it's nothing new california has actually taken steps over the past couple years to do just that the problem is that there is a very very limited window of time in which california can can actually do these controlled earnings because of the climate and the reality is and this is what 97 percent of experts agree on climate change is real it is being exacerbated by men and so you know we're seeing more droughts where you seem strong winds all of these things that come together to make wildfires even worse. and the fact of the matter is and we've seen this throughout trump's presidency that he is not someone who believes in man made climate change made that very clear yesterday as well he scaled back or eliminated over one $150.00 measures that were in place to protect

the marmont he's expanded oil he's bet on you know more coal and oil is more traditional was opposed to more mentally friendly energies he's appointed climate change deniers to several key positions such as environmental protection agency. his advantage thus far has been because of this krone mars voters' attention elsewhere these wildfires that could change that so it is a risky bet really and they're not showing signs of slowing down so we'll see how that strategy works out. thank you very much but over the. and president will also be presiding over a historic signing ceremony later today as 2 gulf arab states normalize relations with israel leaders of the united arab emirates and bahrain will join israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu on the white house lawn to ink the deal as the w.'s tanya trammell reports it also reshuffles the cards of power in the middle east.

the 1st commercial flight from tel aviv to upper darby a long isolation period for israel and the region has ended until now it only has signed peace treaties with egypt and jordan in august israel normalize ties with the united arab emirates the hurricane followed a month later brokered by the u.s. it's cygnus change of alliances in the region for us it creates a much stronger sunni israeli alliance against iran against the shiite axis which is very important if we look at american elections in november when we have a democratic candidate that declares that they want to go back to the previous nuclear deal with iran. such an alliance of israeli and sunni nations in the middle east is extremely important what this doesn't solve this is verse conflict with the palestinians the u.s. has insisted that it was suspends its plans to annex parts of the occupied west

bank at least temporarily but the deal breaks with the public position of our countries to refrain from normalizing relations with israel until it ends its a key patient open millions of palestinians in tel aviv the mood among israelis is mixed as people prepare for a nationwide lockdown so your own it's excellent i opened a school for arabic i did it to promote peace and now i think it is important for a mother to show the plainly aeroshell i think there is damage it's only for political interests for bibi for term but also. the u.a.e. because of arms and good relations with the us they don't really care about us breaking our family down credit should tell you quote unquote upset about it but i think it's more needed to deal with many problems we have here that have to really locked down kurt warner and more political problems the country is very unstable and there's a lot to take care of before dealing with external issues or lifting shame because

some of you know the agreements are seen as a huge achievement for prime minister binyamin netanyahu but as he faces a corruption trial and is under fire for his poor handling of the pandemic there are also rare piece of good news the asian development bank says the region is in its 1st recession in 60 years the nations last and set back efforts to lift millions of people out of poverty could get worse if the pandemic drags on. after months in lockdown her baseness teacher ing on the brink city when it was finally ready to welcome back diana she'd even invested her savings on trying to cope with proof her modish jakarta restaurant but just when she thought she was back in business indonesia was again hit with a lot done. we have a modern set that we only just managed to survive the 1st round of large scale

social restrictions and here comes another one. for no i'm just relieved that we are barely surviving but it will definitely cause an impact on our income and. asia's g.d.p. is expected to be main issue 2.7 percent this year dragged down by dismal results in india thailand the philippines indonesia itself and china next year is projected to be 6.8 percent below expectations. the asian development bank says pursuing active lifestyles and eating well are vital for recovery and any future pandemics then there's the wellness economy which could also boost those efforts it accounts for 11 percent of output in asia it's a growing market this vegan food producer in china has his eye on what our competition is the whole life stock sector it's the animal protein and these 2 we think it's a game of making the keep bigger for all. and definitive inspiration why not follow

this south korean couples example prevented from taking their annual vacation they decided to set up camp in their living room when. we were supposed to go on a weeklong trip to new york this summer which we cancelled due to the prolonged corona virus outbreak. instead we spent our money buying camping gear which cost us around $8000.00. or comment on dog hair it may not be the great outdoors but it proves you don't even need to leave the house to indulge in some past no wellness. german chancellor angela merkel has cautioned that anti-semitism in germany has never gone away and that today many jews don't feel safe remarks many marking 70 years since the founding of the central council of jews in germany the organization was created in the wake of the holocaust and has been

a driving force in revitalize jewish life and culture. but day of remembrance 70 years since the founding of the central council of jews in germany which since then has promoted the revival of jewish communities and culture in the country today they're going to zation represents the interests of more than 100000 members across the country. a rule that was celebrated by german chancellor angela merkel who expressed her admiration for the strength of the jews who stayed in germany after the atrocities committed by the nazi regime but the chancellor also warned about the rising threat of anti-semitism in the country. it's a disgrace and a deep shame for me how racism and anti semitism are expressed in our country in this day and age it is true that racism and anti semitism never disappeared but for some time now they have been more visible and uninhibited. with no.

insults threats or conspiracy theories are openly directed against jewish citizens . social media is literally losing expressions of hatred and harassment. we must never remain silent on this reminds. last year's attack on a synagogue in the city of halabja where right wing extremists set out to commit a massacre made the threat faced by jews in germany even clearer. violent anti semitic crimes have grown by 20 percent over the last 2 decades perpetrators are mostly right wing extremists. this by this the president of the central council of jews said his community was ready to place its trust in germany but he added that this trust must not be betrayed. you're watching the news coming up next in
