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.

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.
