Busy going on as to where the flight was going to land, whether it was gonna be bagdad 1st, whether its gonna be a bill and how many flights they might be. We are hearing now that there will be another flights on friday and perhaps a potential another one on saturdays. Well, following the same route thats coming into our bill and then on to baghdad. But crucially, what the k o g spokesman actually said was that he blamed the smugglers for allowing people to go to bell roof in the 1st place. And he said this was a criminal activity. He, the k r g seemed there tactic here. Seems to be blaming the fact that smugglers are enticing people to actually go to the bell russian border and try and get into your from there. What weve been doing, we over the last couple of days when speaking to people who have actually returned back from that border, who want to go into your for what theyve been telling us is actually its the political as corruption and nepotism situation here in iraq that doesnt allow them to get jobs, allow them to work, which is driving them, the smugglers, mainly the facilitators.

The crane has deployed National Guards to its border with belarus and lithuania, as also reinforced its border with the country. But the roost says it wont force any migrant refugees to go back home, but with no solution in sight, those who are trapped are likely to continue to be used as pawns in a much larger game. As i beg, ill jazeera poland. Ah, it s as in sudan, have again clashed with Security Forces a day after at least 15 people were killed by gunfire from Security Forces. At the tig ass was fired at demonstrators in the capital cartoon. Theres widespread anger that the amenities refusal to hand back power our to last months takeover.

They started barricading some of the main roads around the capital harpoon. And some of the residential neighborhoods, and they said thats in response to the amount of Excessive Force that was shown by the Security Forces. Now the police made their 1st press briefing seems to take over on thursday. They said that they did not use any live ammunition against protest, and they use the minimum 4th needed to try to sell processes and that they only use tear gas and bathrooms and did not fire weapons protests, as they say in the country that happened. And that protested attack Police Properties in which they had to defend, defend themselves at least 80 Police Officers have been injured in the process on the 13th of the 17th. But processes say that is not true. They say that they have evidence, evidence of live amunition being cited for the people in hospitals as a result of those injuries. And they say that they have been very peaceful and have not used any kind of violence against any public properties, oregon Police Officers. So 2 opposite statements coming out and the process has been ongoing late into the night with many processes filled barricading main roads, still barricaded streets, determined to show the minister that theyre not going to give up and the demand for the military to hand over power to civilian rule and earlier court or the detention of the heads of 3 Telecommunications Companies until Internet Services restored that had an impact. Yes.

Now, some have reported that they can access facebook, twitter, and whats up without vpn. But the majority of the people, majority of the users of mobile internet say that they only can access those social media platforms via via vpn. Now this comes after the court initially ordered the Telecom Companies to open the internet for all the mobile internet uses. When that was rejected they, they gave another order and when that was also rejected, or did the arrest of the managers of the telecom company. Now many people say that this was a violation of their basic freedom of expression. One of the basic right, basic human rights and they said that now that the internet is back or at least partially back, they will try to show the world what has been happening since the military took over on october 25th. It will move and thank you very much. Indeed. 6 United Nation staff have been released from detention in ethiopia, a u. S.

And that said, germany, greece and other governments to repose restrictions on the on vaccinated to contain the spread or challenge reports. The bars a full along the sea front had been doing this resort town on spains east coast, is popular with u. K. Package tourists seeking an escape from the autumn weather back home with a spike in local coated cases recently suggest they may have been bringing something with them that the show the sellers to do so we dont have proper data from the rise of the infections, but we did notice as soon as tourism came back to this area, the rise of infection that came to this is unquestionable. So visit is being offered, vaccinations, some havent had one at home.

Many European Countries a caught on the horns of a dilemma, significant part of the population dont want to get vaccinated, but nor do people want more restrictions on their day to day lives. Well, those, her unvaccinated, obviously, are more susceptible to getting infected and, and having severe symptoms. So theyre, theyre driving the pandemic. The other issue is that European Countries are being very reactive, rather than proactive, is then largely a focus now on vaccination and less of a focus on other control measures like face masks in mirrors, the cupboard which i think is incredibly important. The death tolls on what they were earlier in the outbreak, but people are still dying. And once again, europe is the center of the worlds coven. 19 pandemic. Re challenge now to 0.

Come find Security Forces frontier gas demonstrators in the capital cartoon. And several countries across europe is struggling with a new wave of current of ours. The numbers of infections and death rising germany and greece are among the nations and pushing restrictions on the vaccinations. Especially emergency is in effect in the canadian province of british columbia. After heavy rainfall triggered flooding and mud slides, authorities have confirmed one death and at least 3 people are missing. But the number of dead is expected to rise around 800000 people have been displaced in the countries western most province of floods and mud slides of 7, access to the countrys largest port in vancouver, disrupting already strained Global Supply chains. Just the worst flooding that ive ever seen that come from an area of white plains in the city, both in the middle of it. But you know, this is, this is quite significant here affects a lot of people. And its really disheartening to see it. Everybodys pretty concerned around here. My daughter called me was in tears. Want us to leave worried about the area so far. We seem like were ok were were ready the but its, its pretty bad. Lot of people out there. Yes. So i will go North Vancouver and got an evacuation notice on monday and had to refill here to start clearing stuff, miles and take what i could with me and the Evacuation Order still stand. So i havent been able to go home yet. I live right down by the border. Focus is focus potentially the east of vancouver. The mayor of the rural town of abbotsford says, were not out of this yet. Under the low lying she must prairie is thought. Hundreds of animals may have died with dozens of farms submerged in the special area with correspondence on both sides of the u. S. Canada border 1st speak to. She had her tansy in abbotsford, british columbia. Any sign of an improvement there. Joliet after the reins just begun again. Theyre not too worried about the rain to day. Oh, they all are about is the rain beginning next tuesday, which is expected to be very, very heavy. And as you can see, this is the sim prairie that you are talking about. But gabe isnt so massive is just over that towards the mountains. It shows are interconnected, put time and catastrophes. All get out of the water thats come in here. I was like, she come from from the us. You can always forget to forget about it called 26 or wherever, where some countries say they will do something and others say they werent doing. I think everyones in this in this together. But yes, this is the last prairie. It was once a lake and it was flooded in the early 20th century to make way for agriculture land. And as you can see, look at it now. You can see the submerge agricultural building, the tractor, trailers, and yes, this is a major center, even major center for dairy falling for poultry, falling 20000, and have a capital roving. These parents are these work, but we understand actually thousands of capital may be dad, and those that remain would be fair to kill you. Thats going to have a huge impact on agriculture in the region on the, on the economy, a pass. Ironically, theres also a major oil and gas pipeline, the trans mountain pipeline that passes just nearby here. Thats how its opperation suspended. And thats without irony comes in here because Justin Trudeau who claims to be the huge, huge advocate Climate Change warrior is a huge advocate for that pipeline and expands and thats been very controversial. And yet the scientist long said, look, you can have it both ways. If were going to avoid climate catastrophes on a chain of pilot catastrophe, if you have to leave the oil and gas in the ground, and thats not happening here. And as the result, actually, the operations of their own and gas have been disrupted. And also interesting is, havent covered many, many events in the past. When you talk to scientists, they say no, no. We know that the general trend of Climate Change will lead to extreme weather events where we dont like to think of one weather event and say how you see that Climate Change, all that big us, he has gone. Now its hard to say, this is Climate Change. What weve seen in the last few months has been that path. And so a few months ago when extreme heat, 49. 00 degrees centigrade heat, forest 5, that led to denuded of the landscape, which meant then subsequently when, what is a regular product to go . Really and i was very river, the hawaiian expressions, cold water from the tropics, water from the y coming north, it as much more water vapor in that. And then when it hits the mountains, that gets, gets deluged down here and into british columbia. But of course the hill side to the new to the new modem. So the structures, youve got, the, the land, the, the land falls, the mud slides still many cities in the interior cut off. And youre not surprised. Officials always say surprise, this is are shocking for the sides of the saying, this is what we mean when we say stream weather events and Climate Change. This is all 3. Weather means it doesnt mean any changes. I dont see much change of 26 last year, but at least you see that right, right. All loosely that up connection in Climate Change oil pipelines. And now this, thank you very much indeed she had, but given that agenda is not for, since you must in washington state, what is it like on that side of border . Well, its cold, its messy. And now this cold rain has started again here in this town about 1500 people. This was an area that was completely flooded with water. The water is receded a little bit as you can see. But this was a raging river that flowed through here, unexpectedly. It came very rapidly, you can see theres abandoned vehicles here that weve been seeing throughout the town. But this is really what i want to show you right here, over my right shoulder here. This is a Freight Train that when the water came right through here on the track, it just completely d railed that Freight Train that you see there, including the lumber, that is on several of those cars there. And as you can see from the railroad tracks, the water was so strong, it simply twisted the steel rail road tracks almost like they were pretzels scenes like this. Really give you a perspective on how strong this storm was. Now imagine if that was your home. There, well, there are 1600 residents year of this town that are just over my right shoulder there. And most of the homes are still standing, but about 80 percent of them have been severely damaged by water. Most of the residents have left. This town is pretty much abandoned right now. For the most part. Weve been driving around all morning. Most residents, when they were told 48 hours ago to pack up and leave immediately. The vast majority, majority of them did just that and have not come back yet. But clearly when you talk about Logistics Supply chains and how this Climate Change and this storm is affecting it, you can really see it right here in this town. This train line went from the Pacific Northwest of the United States, up to a western canada, taking supplies back and forth. But as you can see now that is clearly stopped. There are train officials here. As you can see from this truck here, over my right shoulder, theyre already here trying to fix is to remove these train cars to get this line back up and working again. Because they think that its so critical to get this going. Even more trains, cars that have flipped over and derailed on that side as well. This is a major catastrophe here in a small town. And it comes at a very bad time because its an Economic Impact that is going to hit here as well. Because on main street, a lot of the Main Business is there. They were very busy before cove it with the canadians, it would come cross the border, the borders just about 3 kilometers over my shoulder. Theyre even less than that. Canadians would come, theyd shop here that all stopped 2 years ago when everything shut down for covert things were just reopening again here in this town. Now with this storm, as you can see, it is all going to have a major, major Economic Impact as well as, as everything has been so badly destroyed. Gabriel is on a thank you very much indeed. Now the defendant who shot dead an unarmed black man in the us state of georgia, has told a court that he saw him as a threat. Travis michael is one of 3 white men on trial. The mother of aubrey he was chased down and shot as he jogged through the neighbourhood in february of last year. But mike, on assist, he was acting in self defense. He was coming straight to me that 1st time i was thinking he will try to give him his truck or hes going to try to attack me or my dad, or who knows why. He was acting weird. He was acted funny. A trial of aid workers involved in refugee search and rescue operations in greece has been opened and immediately agend. The group of 24. 00 people, including foreign nationals, face up to 8 years in prison on chargers, including spying among the miss. Sarah martini a syrian swimmer who saved 19 people from drowning. When the overcrowded boat sank. The e u as criticize the trial with Rights Groups calling for what they call, forcibly and politically motivated charges to be dropped. The aid workers who worked on less boss at the height of the mediterranean migrant crisis, also faced more serious charges, including people smuggling. I feel angry. I feel angry that the legal requirement to try and help people in the stress out at the is being criminalized right now. Im angry because theres not a shred of evidence against us language because weve had to wait 3 years now for this prosecution take place. And its very likely that this prosecution will not continue because they are. The indictment is so poorly constructed that we might be left in limbo for years to come. And all the while it scares away other search rescuers from the island. Today there is no more search and rescue happening on the out in the plaza, and thats precisely because it criminalizes creation has been commemorating the 30th anniversary of the worst massacre during its 4 year war. Thousands of people walk through recover which served militia and yugoslavia. Army soldiers captured in 1991 hundreds of creation fighters were killed in the 3 months siege.

While another form american number one, chris ever said, world tennis authorities needed to prioritize human rights over money, saying she was praying for pang and prompts nickel. And you said it wasnt as well. Tennis is problem, and that is play as we are all concerned. Travis waldron is a sports and politics reporter for half closed. He says this level response from a supporting body is unprecedented. It really is, especially when you think about the way that other sporting institutions and leaders have acted when players have spoken out against china. When there have been Human Rights Concerns about china. Looking at the mba here in the United States or the way that the English Premier League and some of its clubs, reacted with medicine. Oh zill. I spoke out about the situation facing leaders in china that the responses were very different. Now the w. T. A and the simon are coming out with, with essentially a very strong challenge to the chinese government. And you see it also from other tennis players who tweeted about it today. So i think it is really quite remarkable. Its something that we havent seen a whole lot of major sporting organizations at least to this extent.
