Hello a Police Operation to get thousands of refugees off the streets and into a new tent camp has begun on the greek island of lesbos theyve had to shelter wherever they can since fires swept through europes largest refugee camp at more ya 9 days ago it had housed more than 12000 people nearly 5 times the number it was built for many of the homeless have been reluctant to move into the new camp fearing they would be stuck there lets get an update with Stephanie Decker shes joining us from there in that operation is meant to take place this morning what are you seeing stephanie. Well during the last time you and i spoke we were on the other side of this is where the riot police were and the police were trying to get people to move willingly yes there was a show of force certainly with riot police in riot gear with their shields standing information blocking the road and now you can see the other side of it this is the new camp where outside of that now you can see probably can catch you see those 3 girls walking their work wearing sort of plastic covering that to protect for corona theyve been trying to convince people to move you see the result there that the biggest crowd we have seen so far moved from of the streets where they were sleeping to the camp but the message has been very clear from the authorities here is that this is the only place for them to go where they can ensure their safety shelter food water and most importantly process their paperwork but as you were saying a lot of people are reluctant because of the situation morea camp was like before weve been talking to a lot of people throughout the morning they dont want to go they dont know what the conditions are like inside they want to go through the same situation again and they want to get off the island but certainly at the moment this is the only way for the greek authorities issued a statement the ministry of migration saying that this is a purity humanitarian operation to get them into the camp and then its being done for Public Safety says certainly what were seeing a lot of people on the move now into the camp and i know youve also been gauging the reaction from local residents of the island what have they been telling you about whats going on. Yes well most most sorry. Most most of them are not happy at all about whats happening here they want to see the take the opportunity of the more account burning down to get everyone all the refugees all the migrants off the island they say its been too long its taken its toll on the economy this is an island known for for all of oil its filled with all the trees all of groves weve been speaking to people who say that its simply not enough is being done to help the islanders weve been speaking to as you mentioned that side also the side its very complicated 2 sides of the story here daryn and thats how that pans out. Its a story of 2 people those cleaning up this all of grove the islanders whove been hosting thousands of refugees and migrants for years now and those who try to find shelter here on this private land after their camp burned down to the ground last week. My life has changed completely we can all look here soon we should stop harvesting the olives how can you harvest here it is not possible that we understand them but they should also understand us something that sadly isnt happening. Ever since fire swept through moria camp here on the greek art in the best thousands of refugees and migrants have been forced to mostly fend for themselves so this gives you an indication of just how many people still remain on the streets youve got men on one side youve got women on the other and what theyre waiting for at the moment is food handouts by one of the n. G. O. S there is still very much a lack of cordon a to aid effort here and this is. The greek authorities have made it clear that Everyone Needs to be moved here to a new camp many are reluctant they face terrible conditions of moria and dont want to enjoy the same again. The head of the Un Refugee Agency in greece came to visit the new camp they had criticised the conditions in moria before its not manageable to manage a camp with 5 times its capacity or even times the capacity they provide the insomuch as we speak you need c. R. Is a pushing the authorities to add actually make the process so that people do not stay too long in these places the local population is getting more and more frustrated that these cocky nellies is remora village he takes us from the village to where you can see the burnt camp. We have 2 human dramas here on fortunately its constantly the drama and Living Conditions of the migrants thats talked about im never the locals who have gone through very hard times since 2015 and theyre frustrated these people should be put in a closed and controlled camera far away from the local population. Many islanders were hoping that this meant the thousands of refugees would be moved off the island that is something many of the refugees say they want to but for now with the new camp expanding by the day neither side is getting what they want Stephanie Decker aljazeera Lesbos Island greece.

U. S. President donald trump has contradicted a Top Health Official on when a Coronavirus Vaccine will be available the centers for Disease Control director Robert Redfield says distribution what we possible until next summer trump insists it will be this year. Were on track to deliver and distribute the vaccine in a very very safe and effective manner we think we can start sometime in october so as soon as it is announced well be able to search that will be from mid october on. Maybe a little bit later than that but well be all set so as soon as its given to go ahead theyre doing trials as you know and as soon as its given the go ahead we will get it out defeat the virus weve manufactured all of the necessary supplies so that as soon as the f. D. A. Approves the vaccine and as you know were very close to that will be able to distribute at least 100000000 vaccine doses by the end of 2020 and a large number much sooner than that oxfam says the worlds wealthiest countries accounting for 13 percent of the worlds population have bought more than 50 percent of the promised vaccine doses the charity analyze deals made by the 5 leading Vaccine Developers oxfam warns that even if all trials succeed 2 thirds of the global population wont have access to vaccine until 2022 cents said on yok a is an associate professor for Infectious Diseases at the Australian National university and he highlights some of the steps being taken to ensure that vulnerable communities get future vaccines.
