Excuse me fears grew of waterborne disease following sudans worst floods in a century. And iranians cast their ballots in round 2 of a parliamentary vote that was delayed due to the pandemic. Protesting refugees on the greek islands of last boss are demanding permission to leave and travel to the mainland. Theyve spent 3 nights without shelter after fires destroyed the camp food is in short supply of what was europes biggest refugee camp the greek government wont allow them on to the mainland and is working to put them in tents at a board chartered ships. Is at the moria camp and says the families that have nowhere to go. Right now the demonstration seems to peters out for the time being but it. To be a recurring one as well so it may flare up again definitely the feelings of persistence among refugees here who want to be allowed to leave and at the moment that being denied it seems even basic comforts people who fled moria because because it was burned on tuesday and wednesday nights have now camped out here on avenue that runs through an Industrial Zone on the island and as you can see that bedding down on concrete pavements beside the asphalt there is a road block on either side of this section of the road both to protect and to protect the Asylum Seekers here from traffic and also to prevent them from leaving because the government wants them to stay here and to have their asylum cases heard out here because that way if any are rejected it is easier to deport them back to turkey but also because less force island has now become a vector for corona virus and it is feared that if these people are relocated to camps on the mainland then they may spread the virus there among refugee populations there is well this has in fact happened in the last year weve seen it happen in a camp in the pipe anees which had to be locked down as a result so here they are although the government says it is providing them with food and water at the moment if not shelter some of them have told us that they havent received any such consideration until now from aljazeera sonnier gago and looks at how the European Union has been reacting as this crisis in greece unfolds. This is the reality for the thousands of refugees on the greek island of last past caught between the streets and an even more precarious future. And these are the politicians who are tasked with finding a solution to a crisis that has been gnawing at the European Union after 5 years of attempts and acknowledgement from brussels that it has so far failed to come up with a comprehensive plan by 2006. Because a number of its. Green. Leaves off now if you. Vote. On this. This is where that failure is being felt most on the roads where makeshift tents housing those left with nowhere to stay but only 10 Member States have offered to take in the most vulnerable of those left stranded body s. 406. 00 unaccompanied children with france and germany taking up 150. 00 each they are the only ones who will be able to leave the island for now germanys interior minister defended the decision not to take in more people. If we as the federal republic of germany believe that we can solve the european asylum policy on our own then the year 2015 will be repeated because there wont be a european solution anymore there are also worries over the spread of the pandemic at least 35 people tested positive for the virus last week and only 8 have been found since the burning down of the camp. Poland austria and denmark are among the 17 e. U. Members who are giving assistance to greece the shelter and medical equipment these tents were set up on the islands military base local residents have grown impatient and angry with the increasingly overcrowded camps have complained that not enough has been done to help those refugees stuck unless boss situation is a happy time for us and for the other greek who have been admirable since the beginning and welcome the refugees that. Quite rightly i got. You know. Of having to answer for the rest of the European Union at least 33000 people have crossed the Mediterranean Sea to europe so far this year holding cows for those wanting to escape war and hardship have failed to provide a lasting solution and it is a problem that is not going away anytime soon.

That they staged what youre seeing behind me here in the motivational certainly an organization that d was established by the brother of a fallen hired writer called the tunnel to Tower Association rather it set up this event the social distancing is in place are required to wear masks and so forth but they felt that this could be done safely to continue the tradition and honor the people who died that day when the certainly seen many emotional.

Water borne diseases are a growing threat in sudan following the worst flooding that in a century at least 100 people have died 100000 homes destroyed or damaged the nile river rove said rose to its highest level since records began lets get back now to that breaking news we told you about a few moments ago a deal to work normalize relations between bahrain and israel President Trump also says theres tremendous enthusiasm from other countries in the region to joy in with the deal normalizing relations with israel lets go live now to our White House Correspondent kelly hell catoosa in washington d. C. Forest committee what are you to make of this. Well weve 1st heard that this may be happening just the last couple of hours but no official word or confirmation from the white house until a tweet from the u. S. President in just the last few moments where he confirms what we had been hearing that in fact he had been speaking with the king of bahrain at a telephone call earlier and as a result of that call it was then that the 2 decided that they would formalize relationship in terms of the diplomatic relations between israel and the kingdom of bahrain now what the administration is touting is what they see. He as a success in terms of the fact that this is the 2nd agreement that they have been able to secure between israel and an arab nation in just under a month and what theyre hoping for is momentum as you alluded to there the possibility that this could be a framework and that other nations may join on in order to not only at sheaves what they say is a goal of peace stability as prosperity but also that this could lead to some sort of sub stand to have discussions when it comes to the palestinians and israel in terms of a Peace Agreement there now that certainly is a more lofty goal particularly given the fact that this administration has been only talking to one side for the duration of the. The presidency of donald trump and that is israel there have been no discussions recently and with the palestinians they have been left out of the equation but still that is what the official word is from the trumpet ministration that the goal is to try and achieve that very high bar now for the relations that have been in terms of establishing these diplomatic protocols moving forward that is going to be formalized on september 15th what the white house is saying is now that there will be representatives from buffering joining the u. A. E. Here for that signing ceremony along with the u. S. President on tuesday ok really does this play into the president s bid for reelection. Well this is something that the president has been keen to do for a number of reasons donald trump has always placed a high premium on ego and accomplishments and this is certainly one that he has made no secret of trying to achieve in terms of some sort of grand deal that he believes out there president s could not achieve but also he has been working very hard on these Campaign Promises he continues to say that no one has been better to israel then he has weve seen that manifest itself in a number of ways whether its moving of the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem were certain recognitions that this administration has made these are certainly important to a lot of donald Trump Supporters particularly christian evangelicals that make up a very large part of the president s solid support so this is something that he is keen to continue doing this is something that will play very well with that segment of the voting public and so theres no question that donald trump is trying to do this in advance of the u. S. Election what we should remind our viewers is in November November 3rd to be precise a White House Correspondent kimberly hell could reporting live from washington. A p. L. O. Official according to the Reuters News Agency has condemned the deal between bahrain and israel to normalize relations as a trio of the palestinian cause lets go live now to west jerusalem serious car of force that is the very whats being made of this the. Well as you say the palestinians have already given this reaction we also heard from a palestinian official close to the. To the president s Office President abbas saying that making peace between the arabs and israel with out israel withdrawing from palestine and arab occupied lands is a farcical peace so they are continuing their line which is that the idea of normalizing relations between israel and these gulf countries without their having 1st bein a resolution to the palestinian israeli conflict is something that will be deleterious to their interests and against the Arab Peace Initiative has to be said that they found little support for the rejection of the u. A. E. Israel deal which of course was announced last month in the meeting at the arab league of the arab league on wednesday as far as how israelis will see this will obviously there was a good deal of support over a Broad Spectrum of israeli politics for the u. A. E. Israel deal there will be a similar i think level of support for this but at the same time israelis are also dealing with a really mounting coronavirus pandemic situation here there were already some concerns about the optics of Benjamin Netanyahu going to the u. S. For the signing ceremony on tuesday just a few days before were expecting a very severe nationwide lockdown to be imposed with cases new cases per day now up above 4000. 00 on a per capita basis that makes israel one of if not the worst and most highly rated caseload per day countries in the world so netanyahu has a big domestic political and health and economic crisis this of course is something that he sees as part of his legacy something these but weve been working for for a very long time. If hes looking for a major decisive shift in the polls and in his public support because of this he may get something but because of the domestic situation hes under a lot of pressure anyway very many thanks 0 zeros harry force of there reporting live from west jerusalem china iran and russia are dismissing allegations of trying to spy on the election campaigns of President Donald Trump and his challenger joe biden the Tech Company Microsoft warned that some hacking was linked to the same russians sued intervened in the u.

N. Repertory. Kalam art said that his disappearance his killing has not received justice and that it simply cannot be forgotten because of the danger it poses to International Law she also denounced the Saudi Arabian trial that just include this week into the killers of Jamal Khashoggi original death sentences were commuted in this final verdict which is not appealable to prison sentences and kalam are denounced to this trial as a sham of the widely shared by the International Community she said it lacks transparency we still dont know the identities of the convicted defendants nor were any of these proceedings happening in the light of day all happening behind closed doors she says also that these individuals the or the henchmen who carried out the killing but that the high government officials in saudi arabia who likely orchestrated and planned killing were not held to account and she was very specific telling the House Intelligence Committee that she had quote no doubt that crown Prince Mohammed bin psalm on was involved in the killing of Jamal Khashoggi her recommendations was to not allow saudi arabia the prize of hosting the g 20 and she recommended sanctions against the crowned prince himself now Congress Earlier had passed resolution naming the crown complicit in the murder of Jamal Khashoggi but as you know President Trump has been defending the crown prince relentlessly the latest reporting on that trump bragging to a Journalist Bob Woodward in his soon to be published book trump said he had saved the crown princes expletive in trying to protect him from congress how did your castro reporting live from capitol hill many thanks did heidi. Also how close in the 2nd round of irans parliamentary elections voters in 10 constituencies were taking part after a delay due to the coronavirus pandemic the 1st round in february at the lowest voter turnout ever in the Islamic Republic and it resulted in the most conservative parliament its 40 year history said big reports from from the reason that were having this 2nd round is that in the 1st round these candidates didnt reach the 20 percent threshold so they went for to the 2nd round now in the 2nd round there is no threshold whoever gets the most votes gets the seat it was the most conservative parliament the country. Of the republic and that came. As a result of one of the lowest turnout the country has ever seen it was 42 percent nationwide 26 percent hair and iran and that lower voter turnout basically helped the conservatives get power in the parliament now were going to wait to see what happens in these results but the issue for president Hassan Rouhani and his reformist unlined ministers and government still remain that the conservatives are deeply opposed to him and his policies and they want to bring those ministers to parliament for questioning. India and china have agreed to deescalate tension days off the shots were fired across the disputed border for the 1st time in 45 years Foreign Ministers have been holding talks in moscow insure and 20 indian soldiers were killed in hand to hand combat the chinese troops in the letter its not about how many chimey is so serious injured save steve sang it is a political scientist and says that both countries are moving in the right direction. What we are seeing really is the recognition on the part or senior people matched of both countries how very dangerous situation has the advantage and there will it wont you find ways to east that tension but reality is we manged a situation and. Emotion remains very high on both sides in terms of their military personnel at the border region and so the fact that if all the ministers are talking doesnt necessarily means the situation on the ground who and if the situation on the ground thats not. Risk remains all a potential i mean condone it escalation i think which side is a more aggressive one really is somewhat beside the point i dont think either as i has been particularly well behaved in the last confrontation i think the fact that the chinese have been very very cautious in these in their casualty figures which suggest that a public release of a higher casualties than the indians and that would make the military on a chinese im very uncomfortable and the fact that a commander of the in india but county and was killed in the last hand to hand combat also means that the indian troops are very emotionally in war so i dont think were going to see that on the military to military talks being very effective.
