Of the death of a flag. And evacuations continue in california as multiple blazes banned uncontrolled in the u. S. State. We start with breaking news coming out of greece a huge fire is burning through the countrys lone just refugee camp located on the east an island of less bus crowds was seen running out of the a tents away from those flames overcrowded facility holds more than 12000 people and has also been dealing with a corona Virus Outbreak well lets now go straight to Douglas Hammond hes the cofounder of refocused media labs thats an organization that hosts of citizen journalists inside maria camp and he joins us now on skype from the island of les boss douglas thank you so much for being with us i know you were in touch with some of the students inside the camp right now on the fire is now burning inside the perimeter as i understand it how big is this place and how did it start. Its not one fire actually at the current moment there are several fires that are kind of all over the camp. Yes corona has been identified in this camp in recent days and the number of confirmed cases have been rising many of the asymptomatic people have been put into a quarantine area on the far eastern side of the camp and that area earlier this evening was attacked by individuals who seemingly do not believe that corona is actually in the camp and that it is being seen as a reason to continue a 6 month lockdown in the camp some attacks on some vehicles to move people out of the camp or to move them around ensued and some of the people that were in this cornered area were fleeing from that violence and in the process of that several fires were set on the perimeter and then now those fires have been set inside the camp also officer of the asylum seeking process takes place is on fire our students living quarters are on fire. Numerous people have been evacuated from the area of their own accord or now by authorities i did want to ask you about that because you said it did break out in acquiring to an area how all of our own party is managing that whole situation given that theyre now not only dealing with kind of virus but this fire is wow. So the space that the space that was created for quarantine was for anyone who had recently tested or had been potentially connected to anyone who had tested positive all those cases were asymptomatic and they were just basically quarantining them off to the side for 14 days it was a relatively just on the campus its outside of the central camp area but it is basically just a very very light walking distance from where people are living so once you know once night falls its kind of not necessarily you know aggressively policed and in this area some individuals gathered and started arresting some of the people that were inside and some sort of violence ensued the images and the photos and the stories that are coming back from our students are that. You know this violence has just kind of turned into kind of a full scale riot. Well dr says you were saying the campus been effectively and according to now for months not just with the recent space of cases but theyve been under restrictions for for many months now is there a sense that youre guessing of anger building in divisions within the county. Absolutely you know for 6 months now people have been told for every 2 weeks that the extension not of the lockdown will be extended for Health Reasons and that slowly but surely over the course of months. The restrictions on movement inside miscellany in the capital and on the island of lesbos have been lessened and eventually just taken away completely for local residents but its been maintained for people inside the camps and then once now an official case was identified last week its just become more intense in terms of what people can or cant do so there been extreme strains on the community and all the way through since march and now its a kind of across a Tipping Point so how have the othera ts handling this kind of i know they originally a month some months ago now shut down the Doctors Without Borders facility that they being more cooperative now in trying to handle the outbreak and also deal with the residents of the county. So and inside the camp you know the dutch government recently was here along with the president of the public as well as the minister of migration to kind of open up a brand new Health Clinic that was off to the us the western side of where the camp as it has not been especially open for services didnt have it wasnt properly staffed but it was basically going to be there prepared area in case there was a problem or in case there was an outbreak so they were basically putting certain things into place but you know were 6 months into this here and all of the other facilities that were in place to support people along the way have slowly but surely been a kind of shut down or restricted or blocked because of local zoning laws of Building Structures and like really kind of nit picking the reality of what was there so theres been a lot of inconsistency with the protection of the people most most clearly the people inside have never really been given any true protections that cramped Living Conditions and cost and crowding and inability to truly protect themselves from the kind of letters i believe has really pushed people to not believe its that much of a risk to them theyre actually more worried about all the other risks and the dangers of the camp on a daily basis for themselves and its a camp with Something Like more than 4 times the amount of capacity as well Douglas Hammond that the cofounder every focused media lab as an organization and that dance watch on this inside the camp thank you so much for being with us talk to us thank you very much.

Off to the snow continuing on wednesday to rain on a just how much is generally on the increase so getting back up to the levels we said before this time of year very heavy rain throughout much of texas on wednesday this could well produce some localized flooding and quite a little rain working its way across the midwest and then it really becomes very unsettled 3 much of the eastern half United States and out across the west it is still hot and dry.

To. Hello there youre watching aljazeera lets remind you of our top stories here this hour several fires are burning in greece is the largest refugee camp located on the island of it as false the overcrowded facility holds more than 12000 people and has also been dealing with the corona Virus Outbreak.

Now helicopters are rescuing more people stranded by huge wildfires in the u. S. State of california dozens of residents were airlifted out of areas blocked off by nearby fire thats often more than 200. 00 people rescued over the weekend california has seen nearly a 1000 wildfires since mid august mostly started by Lightning Strikes the states fire Agency Spokesman says its alarming how early the wildfire season began this year well lets go live now to jennifer bill clinton shes in as you said Southern California jennifer lets start with these evacuations how they go in given the speed at which some of these fires are now moving. Syesha up in the northern part of the state they have been going as well as can be expected you have seen the video overnight of those. Helicopters coming in and making rescues from people who were camping and hiking in the forests and now the National Forests of closed in much of the state and down here in Southern California everybody is on evacuation warning only they have not done evacuations yet because we are still waiting for the winds to pick up to see what this fire does the fire is on the mountain it is pointed by the winds toward a heavy and dense brush that has not burned since 1954 so the concern is if those afternoon santa ana winds materialize as they traditionally do at this time of day those communities below will be in danger and what weve heard from the American Red Cross is that theyre setting up a sort of a Clearing House at the santa anita race track where people can drive in and get assessed as to what their needs are and be set either to a hotel room a campground or a shelter in which they are putting tents so that each family unit can have their own own space so to see to keep a little bit of social distancing during the pandemic so a lot of wrinkles and crinkles in the process this time around of course and jennifer its only the very beginning of wildfire season so authorities must be very worried about whats to come still. Absolutely this is already a Record Number of 2200000. 00 acres burned in the state of california since the 1st of the year and were only in september this is the beginning so a record amount of acreage already between the Lightning Strike fires that weve seen and down here in Southern California more more human ignition points for fires but the concern is all these fires are happening at the same time instead of going from place to place as they usually do and then the firefighters move from place to place well now everybody is spread out sort of holding down the road fort so to speak so resources are thin and the mutual aid that they count on isnt coming from other states that are battling fires of their own at this odd time of year jennifer hippie oakland that is speaking to us from a series of Southern California thanks so much for that update jennifer oh u. S. President donald trump has extended a ban on offshore drilling along florida georgia and South Carolina coastlines drilling is a key political concern for states such as florida a must win state for the president s reelection this announcement is a reversal of Administration Policy trumpeted previously expanded offshore drilling at the atlantic in 2018. But today i have a very important announcement i dont know if its bigger than the things we Just Announced or the things that weve already done or were in the process of completing in a few moments i was on a president ial order extending the moratorium on offshore drilling on floridas gulf coast and expanding it to floridas it lead to coast as well as that goes of georgia and South Carolina. Tell us think tank the Brookings Institution lists 74 actions that donald trump has taken to weaken Environmental Protection they include promising to withdraw the u. S. From the Paris Agreement on Climate Change although it concert officially leave until the day off to the november president ial election killing off Barack ObamasClean Power Plan which required states to meet targets for cutting Greenhouse Gas emissions from power plants intervening in the permit process for fossil fuel infrastructure including green lighting the keystone x. L. Pipeline that will carry oil sands crude oil from canada to the u. S. Well michael mann is a distinguished professor of Atmospheric Science at Penn State University he says trumps environmental record is severely discredited already. He of course has perhaps the worst record on the environment of any modern president in this seems like a distraction here hes pandering to florida floridians are of course concerned about offshore oil drilling he understands that he understands he needs to win the state of florida so somewhat cynically hes down there in florida saying that he will continue to oppose offshore oil shore oil drilling along that part of the u. S. Coast but meanwhile his you know his rival joe biden has actually and democrats have gone on record affirmatively opposing any additional offshore oil drilling and they are opposed to the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure something that trump has actually worked to expand hes sought to deregulate to eliminate policies that were put in place under the Prior Administration the Obama Administration to restrict Carbon Emissions and methane emissions and hes gotten rid of those policies hes basically given polluters free rein to continue to pollute but now at least 110. 00 people have died from severe flooding ensued on the river has reached unprecedented levels the government has declared a 3 month stay 7 that n. C. Hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced and as heaven were going to pour through that desperate for help. This is how never had a man arrives to the doorstep of her home these days she comes to see if the water which flooded it nearly 2 weeks ago has receded the yard which was once dry and where she used to spend most of her evenings is still covered with water from the river which is now steady after rising to levels not seen in more than a century they have slowed down in the senate in ways that we were surprised this year when the waters entered our neighborhood and we didnt know what to do there are no stand bags there is no one to come and help us with whats happening with decided to act in our own lives and bring found out we found the water coming in from all directions as much of a heads neighborhood in the southern part of sudans capital khartoum is now flooded some homes have collapsed as a result of the force of the water as the river which was once nearly 3 kilometers away became one with the area the levels of the nile started rising 3 weeks ago causing destruction as it flooded its banks and flowed into villages and towns more than 100 people have died in the past month as a result and more than 100000 homes have been damaged or destroyed more than half a 1000000 people have been displaced most left their homes with the help of their neighbors who also lost their homes there by. The people here are struggling despite all the difficulties were helping each other out because we cant abandon each other we grew up together so we cant just turn our backs on each other and we have to make sure that everyone here gets out so i flee because were part of one neighborhood one neighborhood in the midst of dozens that have seen the same devastation those affected by the floods they most of the response so far like the building of this makeshift barrier using sandbags has been their own volunteers have also formed groups there is this helping with food and collecting donations and all have criticized the government thing considering floods from the mild happen every year its response has been far from enough sudans government declared a 3 month state of emergency days ago and now its the country is now a Natural Disaster zone it says that while. Plans were put in place to respond to this years floods the levels exceeded expectations with the new home were using sandbags to block the areas that are being swamped however we cannot use them along the whole river over the past few days water levels reach records high even bridges were flooded residents in affected areas have been evacuated and warnings were sent to those exposed after the destruction and loss of lives that is slowly starting to recede but hundreds of thousands of people are now desperate for shelter and aid they see the hope the government will soon get them out of this crisis people morgan has their own hot zone now apple has asked a u. S. Federal court to order a fortnight creates an epic games to pay damages as part of an ongoing legal dispute the tech giants accuse the Software Developer of breaching a contract when it introduced a new in Payment System within the game apple wants to restrict epic from continuing what it describes as unfair Business Practices when it speak to in afraid shes the chief Technology Correspondent access and she joins us now from San Francisco in a theres been a bit of back and forth here and this all started last month so i want to start by breaking this down as i understand it apples accusing epic games of sneakily doing a fortnight update that allows it to bypass app store commissions now its been removed from the apple store but epic says its actually fighting apples monopolies so who is right here. Well interesting case that both sides agree on what happened so fortnights creator ethics quite purposefully broke offals rules put in its own in the Payment System to bypass the commission it would normally have to pay out well what ethics saying is that apple is a monopoly and what its doing is unfair apple is saying were doing what weve done since 2008 that epic and everyone else has dealt with and lived with and the same rules apply to everyone so essentially theres no dispute on the facts the question is whos right under u. S. Law. Well just to backtrack a little in a fortnight is hugely popular and i just want to as you might not be so familiar with the game can you give us a sense of the scale here we are talking huge sums of money at stake huge sums of money and you know you know millions and millions of people playing this and then spending real money for virtual in game currency to buy things and this is very popular way to word games to make money and for tonight is certainly one of the most popular this is a huge test i mean apple really cant afford to be without fortnight and fortnight really cant afford to be without apple so this is one of those very high stakes legal battles and yeah theres a lot of teenagers that are like wait a 2nd and older but a lot of teenagers that are like wait a 2nd i need my fortnight so you have their 2 biggest passions were at night and both under attack for Different Reasons well with fortnight the fight that epic is now having with apple and theyre having similar issues with google right but that hasnt escalated quite as fall. It has an escalated as far but it is quite similar so google has a similar rule which is if youre going to have in our payments you have to use our system and epic did the same thing they put their own you know Payment System in knowing it was against the rules got pulled from the google store and immediately filed suit whats different is that on android fortnight can go ahead and keep being distributed not through google store but through epics own distribution on apple the only way to get apps is through apple store so if you want to download fortnight for google you can do that through a pic site if you want to download it for the i phone now youre out of luck well in an antitrust allegations against tech giants on new but it really feels like theyre getting more and more attention from the u. S. Congress from the European Union whats driving all of this attention now you know i think its the overall power that the Big Tech Companies have not just on their own businesses but over the entire u. S. Economy and Global Economy and youre seeing a lot of efforts since you mentioned in europe which is getting none of the revenue at least in the u. S. You know apple is a u. S. Company as are the companies complaining in europe i think theres a lot of concern that america is getting all this digital revenue but i think there is increasing scrutiny over all the Big Tech Companies whats been interesting is historically theyve each competed against each other at the edges but have their own market with amazon its commerce with apple its the apple economy with google it search with facebook at social networking youre really seeing a different approach which is these companies are individually so powerful that we need to take action whereas in the past i think people were willing to let them slide where at least thought well theyre theyre doing more good than bad so let them be you know afraid that the chief Technology Correspondent thanks for being with us and always great to have your insights here on out of there. Thank you. Again this is out of there and these are the headlines several fires burning in greece is the largest migrant camp there cases on the island of the last boss the overcrowded facility holds more than 12000 people and there is anger among some of the migrants at the imposition of restrictions following the discovery of coronavirus there last week well earlier i spoke to Douglas Hammond hes the cofounder of refocused media labs an organization that has 30 citizen journalists inside maria camp he explains the unfolding situation at the current moment there are several fires that are kind of all over the camp.
