The charred remains of the madia refugee camp not a corner untouched by the fire. On the surrounding roads thousands of people full inhabitants of moria crowded with the little they had left vulnerable exhausted stranded on. A humanitarian catastrophe for those already stricken by hardship now theyre even blocking the basics we have i think. They are the family id like not just the number living not of food not albany things go inside the ammonia if you bond water to drink if youre not fun youll stay thirsty. He was they are angry this version of logic or the camp but they are born. 0906 all tents we know we dont have any food on the dance we sleep in the road its very very bad. These are the fires that ripped through the camp morning i was home to more than 12000 people more than 3 times its capacity and it was the tourists for its dilapidated conditions for storage he said the fires had been deliberately started by inhabitants nearby residents angered at the presence of a camp have since attempted to stop tents being put up on the destroyed site. Some of. This disgrace that is more a camp should not be set up again because we need facilities in which these people can live humane but also for the to be security for the surrounding villages germany and france say they will take in unaccompanied minors who were left homeless and signalled it was also up to all the e.

Has been inside the camp and says the governments plans to rebuild arent popular with people on most boss its almost as though were on another planet everything has been reduced to its elements this however is where the government insists on rebuilding a new secure. Facility the residents of moria village just a kilometer away from here are absolutely against that as is much of the island very simply do not want to camp here anymore the government says that is the wrong choice that the islanders resistance to such a camp is actually causing part of the problem it has prevented the government from building a better facility for the refugees however are frankly agreed with the islanders they want to leave too this may now be harder than ever for them because were hearing that much of the paper archive of the Asylum Service that used to stand directly behind me here has been burnt and that may mean that a lot of people are stuck here for months longer than they would be because the records determining whether they would be granted asylum allowed to move to mainland greece or whether they would be deported back to turkey are now gone and many of those applications will have to start from scratch. Im going to have i scanned by Matthew Saltmarsh is a spokesman for the Un Refugee Agency thanks very much indeed for being with us so youre part of the response in dealing with this what kind of things are being done to help the people who are left without anything. Well it is really an Emergency Response from the states. Who are. People who as you mention are who are without shelter a priority now is going to return soon partners appearing saying. Government is bringing some ships. Other partners or supreme aids relief. And you can see support theres also focus on the most vulnerable right he said 400. 00 unaccompanied children were initially moved to the mainland and as you report mention news their plan now appears to be. On to a safer accommodation in other countries in europe so its positive to hear that from from European Partners at the moment on the ground it is still an emergency humanitarian response and it is really a focus on trying to get the immediate needs to address i mean it does seem extremely that is it to run 400 unaccompanied line is i mean the fact is that many of them there seems you need extraordinary anyway to. Thats right i mean there is a large number of unaccompanied minors on the great highland several 1000 and of course they are particularly vulnerable there is a scheme existing within europe to try and transfer them to Different Countries in europe some hundreds of children have already moved to Different Countries in europe but hopefully this will galvanize europe into actually acting much more urgently and relocating some of the most Vulnerable Children from greece and what about the the cuban 19 situation of the cases of people who had it and then theyd gone missing it is it you understand that theyve been found again and to and and traced. Well the camp had actually been under quarantine because there were a number of covert cases that had tested positive we understand a number of those who had tested positive have been identified and have been brought back into quarantine and obviously i thought surround a way to give them as much support as possible long term that you think the cow will end up being rebuilt. Its difficult to say i mean we have always advocated for greece to move people from the islands to the mainland and there are facilities and there is for National Support to accommodate refugees and Asylum Seekers on the mainland theres a couple of schemes that have worked reasonably well one is called x. D. R. Where Asylum Seekers can also get vocational support.

Well theres theres several things going on let me rift with complaint with population levels and overfishing in some areas and weve got our part weve got pollution going on so our empath found there are things that we do and mining where we have run off and pollution going into what that has an impact were seeing heavy metal pollution going into autumn that has an impact on so were impacting the the ability of freshwater species to breed and for also taking those species out for our own fishing and things as well so that the these species that have to contend with the impacts of the things that were doing plus the fact that we are directly only for over stretching those resources dense about the wildfires that were seeing in the u. S. In a moment particularly severe and i know that wildfires have been around but how much has Climate Change been a factor in the severity of them this time around yeah this is been a huge factor i mean Climate Change weve known that Climate Change has been an issue in Climate Change is happening now so we see what were saying are much more severe droughts were seeing watch more severe heat waves and those and coupled with that was seen stronger winds and storm the storm surges and sort of you watch more intense events going on and much more frequently and these are driving much more frequent phys wildfires are a natural phenomena and they happen anyway but what we see now the intensity and the the north and the frequency is something weve never seen before and so this is it and all the factors where were putting pressure on the planet and seeing these impacts right now Sharon George thank you very much indeed for your thoughts thank you well for more on the wildfires in the states lets join journalist a soldier almost he joins us from molina in oregon and tell us what you witnessed there.

Yeah you know last night they said about they had about 50 percent of it contained but today with the weather patterns you know thats changing the numbers are being updated you know not as fast as you know we would like but from what we understand now this fire is becoming worse than we initially thought is about 500000 acres the numbers yesterday now theyre estimating that to be 950000 acres so its getting worse so joe must thank you very much indeed for that live update there from oregon thank you 8 people have been killed and at least 150 injured in protest against the death of a man in Police Custody in Colombia Riot Police for 2 demonstrators who set fire to Police Stations in the capital bogota and has been driven by video showing 43 year old noir javier or done years in with peaceably shot by offices with a taser stun gun that he died later in Police Custody police said hed broken coronavirus social distancing rules.

S. President is heading to michigan for a rally despite concerns that his events are getting larger and flouting coronavirus guidelines before he left donald trump again defended his initial response to the pandemic which follows revelations in a book by the veteran Journalist Bob Woodward that he knowingly downplayed the severity of covert 19 hes reiterated that he didnt want to cause panic i dont want to jump up and down and start screaming death death because thats not what its about we have to lead a country were leading a great country and were doing a great job and the people that have done such a good job should be given the kind of credit they deserve we possibly have done the best when you said look you know what were doing with vaccines and therapeutics and ventilators mike hanna joins us live from washington and so mike president toms having to defend himself again.

Were said that the number of troops in afghanistan would be reduced to below 2005005 the election so the secretary of defense using the date of the election november the 3rd as a marker in terms of when these troop reductions are going to be completed so troop reductions in afghanistan going ahead troop reductions in iraq going ahead president and his allies continue to insist this is nothing to do with politics its a deep desire on the part of the president to end these ongoing wars as he puts it secretary of state. As you mentioned on his way to doha qatar to monitor those peace talks between the Afghanistan Government and the taliban it must be noted too that its a long way from being completed despite President Trumps apparent optimism still great divisions between the Afghan Government and the taliban but the secretary of state there to lend an american presence and also to demonstrate perhaps to the American Voter the President Trumps interest in reducing troop levels outside the United States my can i thank you very much indeed.
