And over a Tiananmen Square memorial. A neighborhood flooded with sewage conditions and senegals capital after 3 months of rainfall in just 24 hours. And im only a hearty and with all of the day sports news chelsea are off to a winning start in the English Premier League and manpower their way into the german cup 2nd round with a 5 nil beating of. Greeces Prime Minister has told the rest of europe its time for a change in its refugee policy as his country struggles with the aftermath of a fire in the continents because camp of its attackers is asking for practical support hundreds of refugees have begun moving into a new tent city on the island of lesbos but the total of homeless numbers 12000. 00. Many have protested refusing to relocate to the new site they say they want to go to the mainland and some locals want refugees offloads boss to saying they just cant cut the number. E. U. Countries are now offering to take hundreds of unaccompanied minors and offer an early meeting with the greek Prime Minister European Council president shelby shell is expected to visit the new camp. Short lets talk to Stephanie Tucker his life for us. And steph so the Council President michel as a say is on the i dont know if hes visited the yet tell us about that what youre expecting from him. While there is youll see some commotion behind us there quite a bit of a journalist to go in ahead of his visit were expecting him at any point now theres a heavy Police Presence here in anticipation for his visit hes going to be touring the camp thats burned down and hes going to be coming here to the new campaign as you mentioned there he did meet with the greek Prime Minister earlier doubt his significant because hes the president of the European Council thats in charge really of the e. U. Is political direction more so certainly the issue of migration of europes migration all this into something that needs to be addressed and something that greece is also for a long time so but again like as i said to you before like weve seen a couple of more people coming to the camp today moving in because of the p. R. That the authorities here have done to bring papers yesterday in all languages saying that the only way to ensure your safety and to give you food and shelter is for you to come to this camp and most importantly for them is that their papers will be processed only now if they are inside this camp if they remain outside their asylum processes will be put on hold because the new tent city behind you is replacing the one that burned kind of mood amongst the refugees right now. Well they will tell you and its a fact that the morea refugee camp the biggest camp in europe the situation was desperate yes you have schools and medical facilities but it was many this time president s would describe it as how so what theyre saying they dont want to go from with that kind of a cab to the same part of the situation here theyre also afraid that this time theyll be completely knocked out in the sense that they did that for you to the moment before they forced her to have that say and that theyre not going to get it here people want to get off the island they want to take this opportunity that the fact that the campus burned down to get us off the island this is something that the locals here want as well make and general theres a lot of frustration there is a lot of tension right now when it comes to the situation here when it comes to the refugee population and the local population but certainly the indications as of yet from the authorities here is that theyre not going to be leaving the island this camp is still being expanded because its still not enough to house 12000 people and interesting as well at the moment theyre coming willingly and theres not that many the greek minister of migration has said on Greek Television that its up to the state to ensure that everyone gets put into this camp and if theyre not going to come willingly and the police are going to have to get involved to put them there so i think this is a big way to look out for those who are the next couple of days whether theres going to be a forcible move of the people that are on the streets sleeping on the streets under orchards moving them into this county all right stuff may be there for the moment thanks very much indeed to stuff that can live for us their own lives well this is a problem thats been challenging the European Union lets speak not dont know how to have lighthouse reports which is an investigative journalist focused on immigration joins us by skype from the greek capital of athens and so the greek Prime Minister saying that he wants a new policy and its fairly evident is no the current policy doesnt work hes looking for what he calls tangible solidarity from the. Form solidarity coming. Well when the European Commission has talked about the new asylum and migration act the 1st thing that comes to mind is that it looks very much like the old one. To put it in terms which are easy its enough to understand theyve talked about spilled ing house and the ground floor of that house is going to be a very very tough border system and series of incentives given to the countries around the European Union to contain refugees and migrants outside of the borders of the e. U. Then you have that 1st floor of that house which is going to be. The europes Border Guard Agency which is going to be flooded with boats and stuff to get robust in their turns and then only on whence you reach the 3rd floor of that house is anybody could talk at all about solidarity now the last assignment migration pact was also very folly a ball on enforcement. And on prevention of migration but when it came to solidarity it just didnt stack up the resettlement agreements that would have seen that frontline states in the e. U. Have had the capacity to for Asylum Seekers to be then shared among other European Union countries and when it came to actually enforcing that agreement. The whole thing broke down for us and so this time around what weve said were still talking about a house that europe has never really been able to build yeah so this time round and europe find the necessary convergence to get the this figurative house that youre talking about built. Well the house in the 1st place never works and its well theres a lot of euphemisms such as robust etc what this is meant in practice is. Is in danger in people and preventing them from claiming asylum so theres always been a clash between europe and its vision of itself and the human and human and fundamental rights and the reality of the thing counted by Asylum Seekers who have been prevented so often by states. Who are preventing them from channeling and using almost barbaric means. And its also its meant that you use frontline states are essentially containment and warehousing areas a buffer zone if you will so thats likely to continue those those mechanisms will be flooded with even more money. And yet the whole thing will founder again on what is exactly meant by solidarity there will be some jest use made but actually any kind of mechanism that will that would that would mean that the number of people currently warehouse increase would be substantially reduced. Notional ready for seize that coming the office from some european nations to take an Asylum Seekers a currently fairly minimal i mean thats the bottom line is no europe other European Countries need to take up the share of the burden and by taking in more people. Well i would question the use of the word burden. Theres a lot of been theres obviously been a huge focus on germany because of the number of people that arrived during 2015 or 2016 but there are substantial signs that this that this group of people who were talked about as a burden on now for the most part well integrated doing jobs contributing to the German Economy and that certainly is the argument of people are saying that the solidarity isnt just about burden sharing its about being realistic that migration and refugee hosting can actually be a net positive over the over the medium term for the countries that get involved. But i would argue that that you that slightly more enlightened view of migration its the view that that stood up by the evidence isnt the one thats winning the political argument the one thats winning the political argument is 2 is is essentially about barricades. Coast got using coast guards to prevent people from crossing the line restricting access to asylum and then creating at the terrence of the border morea burned down this week but morial is the centerpiece of it the terrence strategy from the European Union which fundamentally hasnt changed the political calculus in brussels and bertie and elsewhere that led to a spectacularly squalid camping europes largest refugee camp that fundamental logic hasnt changed theres money available and there will be some nice words spoken. But at the end of that process greece will still be a buffer zone between. Refugees and migrants some of them in desperate trouble and or a link conflict and the rest of europe during a disgrace get your analysis on this do appreciate your help in the director of lighthouse report thank you. Well at least 18 refugees are presumed to have drowned after their boat capsized in the mediterranean the Un Migration Agency says in libyas coast guard intercepted 3 boats altogether on monday and recovered 2 bodies in the total of 45 survivors the majority of them are from egypt and morocco.

Now the news President Donald Trump has been branded a climate arsonist as wildfires burning across the west coast become a hot political issue he visited california for briefings on the growing disaster insisting that scientists are wrong and that it will get cooler democratic rival joe biden accuses trump of failing to acknowledge global warmings effect on the wildfires which have killed at least 35 people and destroyed thousands of homes i did hear castree as this. Exhausted firefighters are doing what little they can to battle the monster inferno consuming towns and homes and lives. Mondays drier conditions and gusty winds meant no respite as nearly 100 fires continue to burn across 12 states get these otherworldly scenes are New California has now experiencing several summers of severe wildfires realizing predictions of a climate report released by the white house in 2018 but President Trump who flew to california for fire briefings continues to deny manmade Climate Change exists it will start getting cooler but i will just you just watch i wish science or anybody else but. I dont think science is actually trump has repeatedly blamed the wildfires on democrats accusing them of mismanaging forest lands in western states as the election nears hes dug into the pro fossil fuel policies of his Administration Former Vice President joe biden who seeking to replace trump in the white house challenge his record in a speech from delaware we have 4 more years of trumps climate denial how many suburbs will be burned in wildfires how many suburban neighborhoods will have been flooded out how many suburbs will have been blown away in super storms if you give a climber an arsonist 4 more years in the white house why would anyone be surprised we have more america blaze. But for the americans suffering fires in the west and new hurricane threats in the southeast the Candidates Campaign promises offer little consolation as destruction becomes the new normal. Castro aljazeera. Put it all still ahead on the news hour including detained but determined we meet protestors in belarus who refuse to give up until the president steps down. A slow crawl towards the gulf coast were live in alabama where harkin certainly has forced residents to flee their home. And the dallas stars just punch their ticket to the stanley cup final more commitments. Now at the signing ceremony of the much touted agreement between israel and the u. A. E. Is due to take place at the white house and if you out there have been protests against a deal in gaza how the 3 leaders have called the move a stop in the back well have more on those protests from it him whos standing by for us with all the latest reaction out of the occupied west bank the 1st of all lets zoom across to washington d. C. In our White House Correspondent can be and kimberly so this signing ceremony coming up is theres likely to be some fire and fair around it isnt. Yeah theres a lot of fanfare there also going to be a protest outside the white house theres a lot of head scratching in washington about the timing of all of this given the fact that were less than 50 days until the u. S. Election many suggesting that the president may be looking for a Foreign Policy when given the fact that he continues to call these peace agreements yet none of the countries are actually in any sort of state of war prior to the signing of these agreements but this is a normalization of relations between israel between brain and also the u. A. E. But there were already sort of unofficial channels that were working as really the nations all united against economy enemy and that is iran so the question becomes is this a lot of posturing in advance of the u. S. Election things that the u. S. President can use in campaign ads for example and theres also criticism about whats not in these agreements theres no ending of the blockade against qatar as well there is no promise in there of some sort of solution of the deal of the century that was promised on the campaign trail by donald trump and early on in his Administration Terms of resolving the conflict between israel and the palestinians so in many ways there is questioning about what is really being achieved here other than the fact that this gives donald trump some legitimacy and also what this does is allow some of his allies in the broader middle east to really repay donald trump for a favor given the fact that Benjamin Netanyahu who will be president for this is obviously struggling at home with some of his own political crises wants to see the u. S. President reelected the same would be said for rain and the u. S. Or thats a picture of washington d. C. Where the sun is due to take place complete thanks very much indeed lets cross to the old point where spying could you put him in line for the protests were promised. Many palestinians see these deals have a in the back of the Palestinian People many here are telling us that they knew that israel had some good relations with some of the arab countries but they never expected that the arab countries would be officially have publicly normalizing bit relations with israel especially at the time when the u. S. Is pushing the for its u. S. Mideast peace plan that deal has been rejected by the palestinians they see it as they see it as a deal that doesnt meet any of their National Aspirations for an independent palestinian state and so they see the error of these 2 deals with the u. A. E. And back again with israel they see them as an indorsement who are trying to deal with seen several protests in different cities in the occupied west bank another protest is expected to be here and a lot in the next 2 hours and the message from the palestinians is clear that they do not want anyone to speak on their behalf or admitted thanks very much indeed to him that said take it on further we can speak no to bring him for how to use an associate professor of conflict resolution at the institute joins us live by skype here in doha it put him 1st up when the u. A. E. Says that signing this deal is the way forward for the region does that resonate. Well i think. Probably expresses more all ulis vision for the nation on a policy and what they plan to do they see no correlation of what is right and what sounds their their vision for what he gen confront think it on as the way to what they are and the only thing there are also of these and slike come from things to keep not just. Get on. With it so that you know their policy with the guy who. He in the media and i want to pledge so thats i think its more of that sort of all the way that is he data for policy and that he just doesnt know and as we heard from needed the palestinians say its a step in the back saying it further undermines our efforts to achieve selfdetermination does it do you think. Well i do think this is definitely has an impact on the on the policy then the shore and in particular on reaching agreement. That was right on the scene and conflict for almost all the kids. Position has always been to do the. Peace initiative which is which presents the true b. S. Between the chips and slam as it was once as it was floated with the. Israelis from the pew by a couple of a lot of minds the 67. Borders sort of the only feasible to mobilize asia with 20 other countries not just the u. A. E. For almost all begins israel has declined this proposal from the clothes made by the way by south and surely now to see that they go in there on land this huge mean about winds i dont need to machine and make these very far away you know to the edge that given these. Developments there are the rights of the ok organizations well as of right from the u. A. E. Point of view they say this is spending on next ations of palestinian lands will stop undermining the 2 state solution thats their argument. Well this is this is a totally incorrect in my view because you know with all printing relationships creation with israel is really not in support of israels doing good in meeting in full and meaningful negotiation. And israel has been normalized as an audience color so if i hope you buy it becomes normal then not sure how you know what this means for peace because this is not as if in any way the policy then called the palestinians have made it very clear that no one talks their name on their behalf u. A. E. And by and not with this of them and since not that it matters that it was approval but also you know an issue so i dont know unless the policy and agree on a meaningful allusion that conflict will always be there and you know that issue would be more difficult logics and that its really concerning the implications for and the for the absence of peace in the region that these smaller while vision importance of being so that they have a lot of meaning to the region we have many far away from these the big these are not like vision and the wind speeds in the region the fit of the imbalance the power of. Relations between the holocene as a sign as a fault that i think the palestinians will have to depend on themselves and they will have to finish the completion and theyre well because under now with whats called that deal doesnt carry the policy then no one from any party and impulse enough for the ship then and on the contrary actually if you like the policy not sanction the standing against occupation and if enough that gets full knowledge. We appreciate your analysis of the thanks very much thank you. Now a powerful but slow moving storm is closing in on the u. S. Gulf coast and sally weakened to a category one storm but is expected to gain strength before making landfall on wednesday it will bring heavy rains and strong winds to some areas with forecasters warning potentially historic flooding alabama mississippi have declared states of emergency and residents have been ordered to evacuate the region lets bring in now to jay gray who joins me now live from mobile in the state of alabama and jay said this storm this category one storm has slowed a little bit still packing a punch and bringing with it a lot of rain. Yeah and you know i think that that water is going to be the biggest problem with this storm you know the winds are going to be intense at times but again this is a very slow moving storm as you talked about and its going to linger continuing to pound this area with driving rain for 2 maybe 2 and a half days weve been getting rain this morning spinning in. And this is really just the beginning of things here weve seen a bit of the chop in the bay behind this here thats going to intensify as well and the storm surge could be significant and so when you pile all of that water together the National Hurricane center says the potential is here for historic flooding catastrophic flash flooding in some of the lower lying areas hundreds of thousands of people along the coast really from louisiana through the Florida Panhandle for pairing for landfall and theyve got a bit of extra time to make those preparations because this storm is moving so slow but the time to get ready is just about over at this point maybe by midday today people will have to have things in order and either move to Higher Ground or prepare to ride out the storm and if youre going to do that what officials are warning is its going to take some time again we could see rain for 22. 00 and a half days here and then that waters got nowhere to go so its going to take a while to recede and so some areas may be isolated for an extended period of time with no electricity no water and thats going to be a major issue so again the storm moving in we expect it to make landfall sometime early wednesday morning into the midday hours and then not move anywhere fast which is part of the big problem here so the r. J. I know youll be following the storm as it makes landfall appreciate that time b. J. Great though. Or thousands of people who lost everything in. The floods are calling for more help aid started to arrive over the last few days but those affected say it hasnt been enough at least 100 people were killed and thousands of homes as the river has risen to record levels but as the water recedes the threat of water borne diseases. And senegal is one of several west african countries has been battered by heavy rain the government is now facing criticism for failing to warn people to prepare for the floods parts of the capital are submerged and thousands have been displaced from dhaka. Displaced and fighting the elements the rains took away their homes now its taking away their shelter inside. What she can. Thats all i have left fleeing the rains we had to leave our house behind the a devastation that we have lost what feels like everything. 3 months worth of rainfall in a matter of 24 hours and a car journey neighborhood into an island sinking in overflowing sewage with roads turned to rivers the area has become almost inaccessible have left their homes stranded are few families like the braving disease infested waters to save their belongings from looters. We cant afford to pay rent anywhere else which we expect to go we have no choice but to adapt to the situation. As early as february governments in west africa were warned by the un that this years rainy season would bring floods people were not alerted of the storms aljazeera has reached out to the cynical government and is awaiting their comment meanwhile the government announced it will release emergency funds to assist those displaced. In 20. 12 the government allocated more than 1000000000. 00 to tackle the problem of flood but people here are wondering what have they done with that money so far theyve used it for these tents for those that have been displaced but with intensifying rains people here fear that these are temporary solutions to a long term problem. Whilst the mayor of como son in senegal says Climate Change is responsible for the destruction angry residents blame the state for its lack of planning. Soon feels like a bad dream the states must come and build a sewage system so that they can be in to the floods with months to go before the end of the rainy season has no intention of returning home fearing of what is to come. Because hawke aljazeera the car type of weather and we were talking about the harken sally just a little while ago and seems as if its weakening a little bit but is still packing a punch it has weakened as we cannot because its the moving so slowly so when the stones move slowly all that really hot water that gives them the energy in the fuel it begins to lose that broad water so much colder so thats why actually has weakened but let me show you where everything is and let me share all these names are critical for not just watching some of the watching all these other tropical storms as well but sadly of course is the one with focusing on but were near the end of the list the 2021 name left just will fade as you can see that it looks like you might get that in the next few days this is sally of coles already from the reports that it has already been producing some heavy amounts of rain in these coastal areas and try to take continuing to move up to the. That it has indeed weakened in fact throughout today twice now the winds about she come down but still very strong sustained winds 140 kilometers now so gusting stronger than that its not moving to the northwest but really barely moving just 4 kilometers an hour so it will continue to produce a very heavy rains across the same region and of course it is indeed about the amount of rain is coming down we could see over half a meter in some areas and also the storm surge that is very much connected of course to high tide as well the old depends exactly when it comes on shore this is wednesday this is actually g. M. T. So it is forecast to actually come on shore sort of made some late morning local time at that point it should be about the same strength and it will sort of drift slightly towards the north and then over the next couple of days its going to work its way across alabama and eventually up towards georgia the rain itll produce as it moves inland is all say substantial we could be saying as much as 250. 00 millimeters of rain so next this is a storm we will watch closely for the next 48 hours certainly jenny thanks very much indeed for that thank you carol ahead here at aljazeera.
