Swastikas in chapter some are now facing criminal investigations. And how to keep the party scene going during a pandemic one businessman thinks he has the answer. Im brian thomas could have you with us today a Police Operation is now underway on the greek island of lesbos to move thousands of migrants and refugees into a new temporary tent city many have been sleeping on the streets after a fire destroyed their refugee camp Authorities Say the operation has so far passed off peacefully but many migrants are locked in to move into the new facility. Rows of 10th on the greek island. Theyve been set up for migrants displaced by the fires that maurie account. On thursday week police started moving hundreds into them. Over the past few days migrants have chosen to stay on the streets in squalid conditions many saying theyd rather remain here than run the risk of being detained for months in a completely new camp. Some have even returned to what remains of maria they said the temporary tents and not enough they want long Term Solutions. Going to be including the look that comes to naught at a medical one when we want to free life weve come here to live we are human we are not animals. They put us in a place where theres no life and its like a jungle. A human cannot live in such tents. Early on wednesday only about 1200 of the roughly 35000 migrants rendered homeless by the fire as have moved to the new temporary accommodation the Un Refugee Agency said there is capacity for about another 8000 people and had urged people to move it said its the only way forward. People who have been in what we are can come to this camp and we encourage them to come there because its from a new year that their process will continue that their procedure will continue that tradition is can be found and that people can leave the island because the idea is not that people remain forever on the island of theirs was. That while several european states offered to take in migrants some less bus others say they will not there offering to provide more aid and even more tense instead. Lets get the very latest now as dr tell us a journalist on a good day to you doctor can you tell us about the Police Operation now underway to move the margarets and refugees into the new tent city that we just saw being set up. Hello. Yes indeed there was. A very early in the morning right before dawn actually. Brought riot buses and they. Waited. For the last 8 or 9 days they blocked off the road so that people would not leave and comparing them in this area where they have been staying already all these days i mean theres the traffic has been disrupted. And people are living here on the streets the shops in the area some couple of supermarkets and a gas station. They cannot cook they cannot operate so since this morning the police went around to people. And told them that they will have to go into the new camp to access. Their water electricity and they will be registered. There and then you cite again they were being handed. Sleeping bags and a smaller test actually because there are times. And other norms for. The agencies the aid agencies are providing. And theres the moment the latest that i have is that theres 2 times or 310 if you look around 2300 ok then i want to get to that question how many people are not going into the camps and how many have already moved into the new facilities. So many latest information is at least 2300 people have gone since yesterday morning in the camp gratian start 7 and the morning very early where people where. Its where waking up people telling them that they will have to. Slowly have to recount its not them its not a great distance to walk over there and there are still many people that are reluctant to go to the new facility they they think they have heard that there is not theres no water they told me that they think theres no electricity or theyre going to be closed in the camp and we will not be able to come out. Theres only so we have to we have to leave it there don thanks so much for bringing us up today on the situation right now at the morea camp there right outside. Thanks very much. Well their pain parliament is due to discuss the situation during todays debate our correspondent barbara vessel standing by for more on that barbara could we expect the e. U. To agree to a common approach to resolving the situation on les mis. There is a no wonder no common approach because as we know this is the most poisonous political Battle Ground in the European Union so even when this debate was scheduled in the European Parliament there were some right wing and some populist parties who said we dont want this debate you know where is the problem it was the refuse themselves who are supposed to have put the can set the camp on fire and so we dont want to talk about this but we just of course the bait is taking place there is a majority against that very hard line position but it shows how deep the divisions weve just heard the european commissioner silver johansson the commissioner for refugees and she said progress on moriah is slow and that is like we just saw the people mistrust the the local police and the people on the ground and they say we dont want to go in those camps anymore because will be stuck there forever and after 5 years of people being stuck in moria no wonder so solutions here are difficult at the moment the discussion just goes about getting more humanitarian aid there and there is no real long term medium Term Solution in sight it seems ok were focusing right now on moria but greece is not the only country with any store or external border thats currently struggling with an influx of march. Absolutely not nobodys talking about spain because the Southern Europe southern mediterranean route has been sort of come back to life towards the end of last year if people mostly from the area in conflict conflict down there like mali people from come roun and so on theyve been moving ops room a rock and they have now ended up on the cannery i am ns and its the same situation and we dont have exact figures but its several 1000 people that have russia have arrived there already and its the same situation as in greece the islands are a bottleneck and the greek the greek authorities. The special authority is are not willing are not capable of moving people on from their same situation again because they say nobody in europe is taking these refugees off our hands there is no redistribution and that is still the point were stuck it barbara thanks so much for looking into this as that debate continues today in brussels thanks very much. Well here in Germany Police have launched raids against some of their colleagues officers suspected of sharing new nazi images and private online chat groups 29 Police Officers in the german state of North Highlands failure have been suspended 11 are now under criminal investigation and just share include pictures of illegal symbols in germany. Of this grace and a slap in the face for germanys Police Forces thats what the interior minister in north rhinewestphalia called the discovery of czech content in which 29. 00 Police Officers shared right wing extremist material. Including for example pictures of hitler of swastikas of imperial war flags but also many more horrible images like the fictional depiction of a refugee in the gas chamber of a concentration camp of Police Officers from different cities and 34. 00 Police Departments took part in the check groups they were all suspended pending the results of the investigation they could face charges of inciting racial hatred a spokesman for the federal interior Ministry Said the reports are worrying. What were hearing from north rhinewestphalia is very alarming. It is of this grace for the police force there but of course it also has an effect on the entire Police Profession throughout germany. Its not the 1st case of far right extremism spreading within germanys police and military forces in july a former Police Officer was arrested for threatening politicians across germany referencing a neo nazi cell in his emails and in june germanys defense minister disbanded part of the armys elite commando after allegations of far right extremism within its ranks. Did abuse Political Correspondent you know covering the story for us. How did all of this come to light the latest charges that were looking out of investigations rather. Police officers found those chat groups on a mobile phone that had been confiscated for another reason because there were allegation that a Police Officer had passed on secrets to a journalist so thats how they found those chats the messages and the groups and some of those actually date back to 2012 and the authorities keep stressing that the conduct of behavior of those 29 people had been in conspicuous for all those years that there was no initial suspicion is there any way needed to know how widespread this kind of activity is among German Police and for that matter as we saw in our report German Military personnel. There are estimates but the problem is that there is no reliable data or of a level at the moment thats new that there was a big study conducted in the 1990 s. That found that between 5 and 20 percent of Police Offices in germany had an inclination towards frightening extremist views and that was of course alarming but these. This data dates back from the 1990 s. And so many people are now saying we do need a comprehensive new study because they say is alarming but so far the federal interior minister. Has resisted calls for such a study for such an investigation and he has been criticized for it because they say of course is not the 1st such case we remember we saw in the report those 2 cases from this year but also we remember what happened after the National Socialist underground their socalled National Socialist underground committed their series of murders here in germany and the Police Offices some of them were involved in sort of dragging their feet or actively involved in helping hush up what actually happened in light of all of this you know are there any calls right now for a broader investigation or a push to place greater scrutiny on the private communications of Police Officers as a result of the latest allegations are looked at. The pressure on hamas the office is definitely growing and the interior minister of from just fav who we saw in the report has announced that hes going to launch an investigation in his state so the pressure on hospital for a federal study. To have a federal study is growing definitely and the greens the Opposition Party theyre calling for an independent commission of a Police Officer so if they detect conspicuous behavior they can contact somebody independent because of course that is part of the problem that sometimes they dont dad talk to their supervisors and then also its a question of prevention they say that the process for applicants for Police Offices has to be. Put under more scrutiny and so its a question of prevention and not just sanctioning you know thanks so much for that lets get your brief down some of the other stories making in the news at this hour the government of barbados wants to remove Britains Queen elizabeth is as its head of state and become a republic the carb you know i learned gained independence from britain in 1906 but retained the queen as its head of state the Prime Minister says it is now time for the country to have its own head of state.
