Desperate for help hundreds of thousands of people are affected by flooding in sudan. Thank you very much for joining us fire has forced thousands of migrants and refugees to flee their camp on the greek island of les pauls strong winds fanned the flames of several fires that moira come the largest in the country before say some of the blazes where started deliberately to protest newly imposed coronavirus restrictions the facility was based on to quarantine last week after the 1st case was found infections have since risen to fetch the 5 caroline will menace project coordinator for covert 1000 unless falls for Doctors Without Borders she says the conditions in the camp have been bad for some time. When i was a camper to best of the over 3000 people who are at the moment theres between 12 and 13000 people that were host up there until last night and so over nights fires have been raging in different places in the calm and the earliest reports this morning seem to indicate that the camp is almost completely destroyed theres a few segments of it Still Standing but overall there is very little left and so at least 12 to 13000 people who are. Who have had to evacuate to camp overnight because of the fires. Are currently in the streets with nowhere to go so its obviously a little bit too soon to have really precise and confirmed news about how exactly the fires were started it seems that it is in the impossible that it was the residents of the camp who started them what you need to keep in mind for the last 5 years there has been a complete inhumane and the poor will migration policy in place in madiao people have been living in completely inhumane circumstances for the last 5 years have absolutely no perspective and this is the will of stress has been augmented tremendously in the last 6 months with a very Strict Movement restrictions related to covert 19 and then of course these tional stress when last week of the 1st case of cove it was identified in the camp and the camp was put under under mass quarantine so meaning nobody was anymore allowed to leave the camp so i think what were seeing now its unfortunately very sad but also a predictable outcome of these horrendous migration policies that people have been suffering from for the last 5 years so there was a 1st case last week 2000 people were tested then by greek help authorities and which resulted up to yesterday in reportedly in total of 35 cases who had been put in isolation right now and there is nothing of anymore in place for it because consider the account no longer there and we are extremely worried not only for 240. 00. Present children even 1000000 who are currently on the streets but in particular we need to hold it also more than 200 people live in the camp who are at particular risk for court order because of their age or because of comorbidities that would mean that if they get infected they will be much more sick than the rest of the population and so as far as we know right now those 200. 00 are mixed in the big group of 13000 who are basically at loss in the streets in other world news afghanistan zeist president testified to what appears to have been a mess us a nation attempt at least 10 people were killed when a no less alice convoy was bombed in kabul the former intelligence chief is one of the most talkative men in afghanistan and as escape several attempts on his life a short time after the blast he posted this video. For i want to assure you in a message that im fine inside but some of my security guards injured and they are in hospital i do not know about the casualties about our people and once again im sorry about this and i want to thank all of those who say in the messages about my health i want to thank all the Security Forces were fighting against terrorism and acting as a shield to face these terrorist attacks and im proud of them was shocked rahim is a conflict of peace and security analysts he explains why the Vice President may be target. If you look at the background of mrs sally he has been sol stone to open and off the taleban and he has had strong weiss against them to our last 2 decades he was part of the Northern Alliance even during the rhine of taleban or kabul and testify of honest son and he has been quite open in terms of showing his animosity towards the taleban more recently he has been he was talking to a National Television channel a private Television Channel read again he gained ready openly talking about future of the planet stand a listen with the neighboring pakistan lets not forget that pakistan one of the leading nations in the region as part of the of one Peace Process and an important player in the whole of one conflict and peace issues he has been very much openly criticizing the country and its role in terms of playing the proxy war in afghanistan because of that then also dont forget that there are certainly spoiler who are making an effort to spoil the ongoing Peace Process that is heading into a very sensitive and very important process that is in trouble and talks before that they warn pool in few years those who are against the ongoing Peace Process by attacking those who are and be taliban elements so all these coming together makes him a legitimate target for those spoilers and others and wishing opposition he doesnt manage to get off kayak is the thing with political leaders in poland on wednesday shell be speaking with the Prime Minister and more self as well as with final bit of russian living alone and this conversely in her home country and i think more antigovernment protesters in the capital minsk on tuesday but evolution opposition politicians area kind of speak of a top pass for still void being thrown out of the country. Now tries for the Oxford UniversityCoronavirus Vaccines one of the worlds most promising call the 1900. 11 vaccine developer asks to resign it says a patient has potentially unexplained illness which will need further investigation made sage testing got underway last week thousands are taking part in the trial in the u. K. U. S. President and south africa its hoped 3000000000. 00 as of the vaccine can be distributed globally surgeon infections in england has prompted the Prime Minister to introduce new restorations the number of people amount to meet socially has dropped from 30 to just 6 and theyre stronger localised measures in the town of bolton which has the highest case rate in the country paul brennan reports. 2 weeks ago the infection rate in bolton was just 15 cases per 100000 people now it has leapt to 120 per 100001 the new full lockdown as a strong possibility of Tuesday Morning this northern english town had introduced new restrictions on household gatherings by afternoon the rising infection rate forced the council to extend that to restaurants cafes bars and pubs all of them now only open for takeaway food and drink and they must close by 10 pm to be fair to the general public many of whom have been going about their everyday business that they will find this frustrated because we are not able to say specifically its this business or that factory or this particular part of the power. But again the realities are it is going up and therefore we have to be responsible and we have to take action the u. K. Chief medical officer warned back in july that britain was reaching the limits of its opening up and the trade offs might be necessary and just last month the Prime Minister said the pubs and restaurants may have to close in order to keep schools open against the relentlessly rising infection rate that decision has now been taken. Hospitality venues and the young people who attend them have become the focus of covert concern in many European Countries in the u. K. 30 percent of new infections are people in their twentys in bolton 90 percent of new infections are in the age group between 18 and 49 pub dorman Anthony Walsh is on the frontline he says every night is a struggle they dont care less so they dont wear the mask that if used to us ive done i have a few places that go soon theres no social disease and more so i was a ridiculous absolute disgusting some do observe the want most College Students in the town center where Wearing Masks but i know plenty who dont. I know it quite a lot of people probably think theyre not going to get it theyre all like physically fit but it doesnt really matter be physically fave youve got it youve got it. Theres not going back the people its all just a bit skewer for the rules because they dont really know what was whats actually going on because theyre not really informed or its not much you can do. Many people complain that the governments rules seem complicated and contradictory and difficult to observe but it just seems so you can have people from members of the family grandchildren come to you how to say it they were going to rush down because no one could say no to that blacks jews or between certain of governments and Health Chiefs though d is that people have simply relaxed too much since the u. K. s lockdown was eased but rising infections will soon put pressure on hospitals just as the busy winter period approaches and the bolton situation will soon be replicated in many other towns and cities and live not to paul who joins us from bolton not far from manchester poso new restrictions in europe including in manchester not far from where you are what are these restrictions and how do people feel about this. Well there are in direct response to the issues that i raised in that report that i mean the complications about the existing regulations and rules guidelines people not sure exactly why they make sense or if they make sense what the government has decided to do is just simplify things and thats what the Health Sector and culture said the feedback i was getting from the police was that needs just just to be blindingly simple and so theyve instituted restrictions from next monday where groups of more than 6 will be banned so be it a maximum of 6 banned from next monday and that will apply indoors or outdoors larger groups can read dispersed by police and fined up to 1100. 00 pounds to start with and doubling up to a really stiff maximum if they dont comply there will be exceptions such as schools that work places secure weddings and funerals will be allowed for example but what the government is clearly trying to do here is to absolutely to steal their advice down to some very very simple messaging because the the sense is that the nuance that that the government tried to introduce when it said people should apply common sense simply hasnt filtered into common sense behavior by the general public and a lot of people were pinning their hopes on the Oxford University vaccine poll but that the trials now have been put on hold do we know more about why the vaccine trial has been put on. Well what we know i mean its not totally dead in the water yet because for example its not the 1st time that the the trial has actually been paused this is the 2nd time that the trial has been paused i understand and it is right it is routine and bright that it is posed in the circumstances that have been revealed today what has happened is that one of the 10000 u. K. Volunteers has apparently had some kind of adverse reaction and under the terms of the the the trial it means that the trial has to be pulled so that an independent review all of the trial can go ahead and see whether this one adverse reaction apparent adverse reaction is a cause for why the concern now how long it will take for that review to take place its difficult to say and it is a disappointment because obviously the vaccine trial the astra zeneca vaccine trial was seen as a real flag it was already into 3rd phase trials large scale trials in south africa brazil and the us and there were high hopes for it so its disappointing but its not necessarily doesnt necessarily mean its dead in the water thank you for that photo running in a boat in imagine for a same.

That the coronavirus pandemic and the South China Sea huge are high on the agenda of talks in Southeast Asia the 10 nation s. A. N. Bloc is holding a delayed summit with Foreign Ministers meeting virtually because of the operate scott hide everything or some bangkok. The any meetings are viewed as an opportunity for the host country this year vietnam to showcase its culture progress and position but not only have 2020 meetings and summits switched to virtual gatherings their traditions and the usual focus on the big regional issues this year are taking a backseat because of covert 19 but even more than the pandemic itself its the dire economic downturn the region is preparing for i think that this is foremost in the minds of Foreign Ministers and i think theyll be looking for creative and practical ways of trying to. Quickly recover in 2021 they may also be talking about opportunities for allowing tourism or travel bubbles or other things like this have been discussed primarily bilaterally between governments in the past while the 10 countries of austria look to Work Together to help restart their economies superpowers china and the United States continue to ratchet up their rhetoric and posture in the region tension between china and the u. S. In the South China Sea has surged both in moving military assets into the areas of disputed territory but also diplomatic action sanctions and threats with a need for both nations to be involved in the region for economic and security reasons they look to avoid flashpoints countries in this region they look at hong kong right and they see a very sort of concerning trend where if you play into one of the you know superpower arguments if you become sort of an object of superpower competition it tends to go very badly for you and i think countries in the region are are watching that example very carefully. So while the Foreign Ministers look to make progress and working better as a region along with powerful outsiders theyll be focused on plotting a path for their collective 650000000 people who face years of post pandemic economic recovery its got harder aljazeera bangkok.
