From last months explosion goes untreated. The u. K. Says its prepared to break International Law and override some of its Withdrawal Agreement with the e. U. s digital breaks it talks are resuming in. The wonder of nature best seen from the middle east garbage stop its a pit stop along the great stalk migration between africa and europe now underway. Welcome to the program fire has swept through the largest migrant camp on the greek island of lesbos thousands of refugees have been brought to safety away from the overcrowded facility there were no immediate reports of casualties authorities are investigating the blaze as arson local media. Paul suggested the fires may have been started as a protest against a coronavirus lockdown imposed on the camp this week. More on fire after several shots went off in flames almost the entire camp began to burn in the early hours of the morning flames were found by 70 kilometer per hour winds. Thousands of migrants were evacuated once more in their lives they have nowhere to go. Here are our. Kids but for if theyre here. Or are. You know. Some firefighters said they were met with resistance from residents as they work to tackle the blaze the inhabitants of fled to nearby hills and woods some are believed to be heading for the islands capital mytilene. Human Rights Groups have long criticized greek authorities for failing to prevent overcrowding at island camps morea was designed for around 3000 migrants but most recently housed more than 12000 last week a coronavirus case calls the whole camp to be quarantined according to latest reports 35. 00 cases have been detected. As the fire forced people to flee riot police were deployed along the roads amid fears that the camps residents might spread the virus across the island. Want next for moria is a question many have been posing for years with the camp now gutted by flames and on so for a more thorough tease becomes ever more urgent. John but antics in athens and the you have been and to maria frequently what are your sources telling you about the situation on the ground there right now. Well a state of emergency has been declared for the island of lesbos as we speak this will be in force for about 4 months which actually shows the magnitude and how big this exercise will be for the authorities to relocate and get these people out on the streets literally into shelters we understand that there has been a directive issued by migration official by migration minister to get these people into special sound shelters as soon as possible looking for facilities theyre looking for a strong link big kind of stadium open stadium to set up tents and to get as many people in but the biggest concern as far as locals are concerned here basically on the island of lesbos is the corona outbreak and this just adds to the security problem which was the issue of the crowded camps so were waiting to hear for directives about directives on up front as well. Before the fire broke out the comp was on the corn to you just mentioned it because some of the residents there have tested positive for the coronavirus overall what impact is the pandemic having on the situation of refugees on this post. Well thats what i was just saying that this is just added the pandemic added to an already aggravates week and very difficult situation and this is creating a backlash within the local community because many of these people who fled out onto the streets from the refugee camps have have fled into open fields seeking safety and security and these made beat as theyre being called by locals walking kind of time bombs in health has its because no one knows because not all of the 12000 have been tested there were supposed to be a 1000 tested today so thats a major setback. And athens thank you. Well for more on that subject now lets cross to young eagle and hes secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council and former head of United Nations when the terry and relief efforts he joins us from oslo mistake the situation in moria has long been died and it was the 1st fire that why was this situation tolerated on till now well thats a question as well because we have warned the european nations again and again repeatedly for yes this was a time bomb now it has gone off and hopefully this is the wake up call that need their ships in the european capitals need the people of all should have been relocated years ago that there was an infinite warnings lets hope for action now well so youre saying its be useful to what i was saying is is that we have not been good at all so far how come a continent with 500000000 people or trillion euros economies are not able to relocate you know if you 1000 desperate children at a dollar sense and people who have fled from walls own syria afghanistan somalia and so on its incredible and how have how have europe not been able to help greece that got 75000 Asylum Seekers last yeah most european nations got a handful last yeah and still only a few countries have been willing so far to take a few of the people from over here. If were looking at this the whole situation of issue jeez arriving in greece is this really just a european problem just the u. N. Need to get more active here. Well the u. N. Is active the u. N. Has tried to advise both greece and europe to have a. Responsibility sharing. You know this is not that many if if there had been a distribution of responsibilities within all on nations including the non you nations like my own norway the promise of the song i dont think were going to ask for the middle east or africa or your help on an issue which is europes piece of people came to europe greece can not shoulder the burden alone other nations have to come to the rescue of course everybody coming across in the mediterranean do not have an automatic right of asylum but they have a right to have the case heard and try and very many of them free from war and persecution so whats your demand that was the you or lets say in particular to the e. U. s biggest economy germany. Well my my appeal is lets treat this as a real crisis remember when the banks threatened some guests back there were meetings every week to save the banks lets head meetings now to save human lights the a and Initiative Germany sweden that have a lot of legitimate see both of them because they have received more Asylum Seekers and worth trees than anyone else in europe could really need on this and get also this drag unless you know how hungry poland central and eastern europeans who have done nothing. For International Solidarity and good for protection handle called back european continent and showing traditional european humanity solidarity and civilization at the moment now there is a race to the bottom among nations how can i employ it giving shelter and protection from women and children that seems to be the attitude of too many digits young eagle and secretary general of the norwegian refugee child souls and you very much for talking to us today. Time now to look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today illusion opposition politician maxims knock has been seized by masked men in plain clothes from his office according to reports but the Russian Police said they were not aware of his alleged detention this follows the disappearance of protest leader Maria Kolesnikov on monday. At least 10 people have been killed and dozens wounded in a bombing in the Afghan Capital of Kabul Officials say the attack targeted the countrys Vice President who sustained minor injuries no group has claimed responsibility and the taliban denied involved. Rescue workers have recovered 22. 00 bodies from a rock slide at a marble mine in pakistan more than a dozen minus remain trapped under the rubble in the northwest of the country the cause of the cave in which happened on tuesday has not been determined. Last month a massive explosion rocked the lebanese capital beirut killing more than 100 people and injuring many more the city is still reeling from the destruction effects on particularly hard on children who can develop long term problems if their trial is no street its soon enough to double use met the family of one girl who still suffering from the aftershocks. Yet at said is just 4 years old but shes suffering from posttraumatic stress despite her apparent good mood shes easily triggered. Today for example we wanted to go to hospital for her treatment but we couldnt because she was too scared when we drive she sees broken glass everywhere back memories and she gets scared when she sleeps she sometimes wakes up with a start when she hears a noise or something when she sleeps alone she screams we try to calm her down. The trauma of the port explosion is on view across the city an unrelenting reminder of how fast lives can be ripped apart. Child psychologist Kristen Madani is part of a Red Cross Team that tends to the youngest and most fragile to help prepare their emotional damage before its too late shes trained in methods to help survivors of wars and torture rebuild their lives. So the aftermath of this huge shock on children impact on their daily functioning but also on the in their life this is worry with the intervention that the i. C. R. C. Does at this level is to help contain the whole family so that the photos feel safe and sure that in order for them to the issue of the children in bitter. But yet outside lives in a country that already had many problems before the explosion that makes getting back to normal even more complicated. Had. We cant continue to live like this in this country i am very concerned about my daughter because there is neither stability nor security i would like to take my son or daughter and wife with me and leave the country. But its too early to tell with jada not to stand madani says theres reason for hope. But we also know that children are that is in the end so with profit kids and with profit intervention most of the children hopefully will overcome this and this trauma and will not develop. Further symptoms and further Mental Health difficulties. Recovery and overcoming trauma a complex task both for jada and the city she calls home to britain our Prime MinisterBoris Johnson and johnson says he will push ahead with legislation that could contradict the breaks that agreement made with the European Union including how Northern Ireland is being treated under the divorce deal the u. K. Province of Northern Ireland will continue to enforce you customs rules to avoid a hard border with the republic of ireland the deal is considered crucial to protect peace and stability in Northern Ireland and was a precondition for trade talks that are currently on the way the u. K. Has admitted that the new legislation breaches Stance National obligations and could suggest that the dice trade. And lets go straight to our correspondent in london big of mass bigot what are the implications of this new legislation presented by the government and the Prime Minister. Well get do you have already explained it but its really quite crucial to understand that the Prime Minister on one hand says he wants to protect peace in Northern Ireland and this is why hes preparing a new bill in new trade bill that regulates the trade between the mainland of u. K. And Northern Ireland that this is in order to protect the peace and stability in Northern Ireland on on the island of ireland on the other and we also know and that has been admitted by government ministers in parliament that this is breaking International Law why is that because this goes against what the u. K. Has already signed with the European Union so it goes against a Withdrawal Agreement and weve also seen a government minister. Government lawyer resign over this issue really no thats even within the u. K. This is a very very are hot topic and and discussed within the conservative party within the government and will most likely have huge implications for the future negotiations for a trade deal with the European Union. Is the use it she spreads it negotiator hes in london for talks right now where does all this leave the negotiations on a trade deal. Well you have to remember that there are 2 parts to this practice of negotiations part one with this was the socalled Withdrawal Agreement this in the past this is something that the u. K. In the e. U. Way e. U. Have already agreed on and its signed now its about part 2 its about the future trade deal that the u. K. Wants with the European Union to ensure that for example manufacturers can continue to trade without friction with the European Union its very important for the u. K. Economy to get that however if the u. K. Now backtracks on what they have already. Agreed with the European Union that of course leaves these current negotiations basically in limbo and weve already had from the left on the line she said that shes very concerned about the intention to reach the Withdrawal Agreement and ultimately it will be a question of trust will the be able to trust the u. K. If they go back on their word if they go back on what they have already agreed in part one of these threats of negotiations and not just the trust its not just a matter of trust with the e. U. Its going to be also about the u. K. S International reputation if theyre prepared to break International Law for their own and then this will definitely put in doubt the reputation also for other trade deals with other countries like the u. S. For example. Of mass with the very latest on the briggss thank you very much here.

Though this years Champions League was finally completed behind closed doors in lisbon and the alley said hughie for would have to repay 575000000 euros to broadcasters with a knock on effect for clubs but some suggest his doom and gloom message is a ploy to get a better deal for the top european clubs with the president striking a more upbeat tone football is strong and we can be optimistic even if we know the problems of the last quarter there were our next challenge is to bring the most important political game the fans back into the stadium.

Its a delicate balance though the farmers need the trees for protection but a growing population means the demand for timber for feel and fulfilled in fairness is also growing.

The 1. 7 kilometers stretch of road in Port Elizabeth was made of an asphalt compound containing pellets of shredded plastic this project was commissioned to test a fuse ability of building roads like these in south africa the white i think that we did the same thing so i think that would have been a cycling balky ive always been right. By removing episodes on the bench about reducing them but the requirements and the need for using have fossil fuels that are defensemen is a byproduct of oil. Obviously reducing about the fact that thats right into that boat.

Environmentalist simon savile has no problems finding butterflies here in hutchinsons bank and nature reserve on the outskirts of london. But industrial agriculture and urbanization have caused massive line numbers to drop. Experts say 3 courses of species in the u. K. Are in decline yet these delicate creatures are important pollinators and pest control is. Its really helpful to know what part of where they are flying because the butterflies are a very good indicator of the quality of the
