The campaign was just off the coast of turkey was known for its cramped and unfounded tree conditions. Built for about 3000 people it housed more than 12000 people who lived in huts in tents with limited access to Running Water the government says the fires were deliberately lit by some camp residents angry to continue to lock down due to the coronavirus pandemic 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 it was 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 in a suit and some of the people that were in this quarantine area were fleeing from that violence and in the process of that several fires are set on the perimeter.

Has more from athens where the government is dealing with a humanitarian emergency. All of the roughly 13000 people on the islands of the 3 of 4000 according to the homeless tonight. Trying to find various solutions to purchase a roof over peoples heads one is to get people to the nearby cant of kind of detail which is a municipal but much smaller camp and some hundreds terribly there is also a question of whether some can be accommodated in hotels temporarily and. The standard there is a muslim is a sion to bring large scale military tents in order to give people at least temporary shelter but there is no question as people being moved off the island for so its a very big one is that the original 35 people who tested positive for curve at 98 are now at large again but because of the confusion they couldnt be contained in the territory and that had been set up for the camp which is also burnt and very very for mingles back into the general population of the refugee camp the other reason is legal once greece moves people off the island becomes extremely difficult for them to be deported if they dont get asylum from the group asylum service. Those people have to be secretary of insitu Caroline Wellman is project coordinator for covered 19 in lesbos for Doctors Without Borders and she says the conditions in the camp have been bad for a while. Well it is a capital best of the over 3000 people who are at the moment theres between 12 and 13000 people that were host up there until last night and so over nights fires have been raging in different places in the calm and the earliest reports this morning seem to indicate that the camp is almost completely destroyed theres a few segments of it Still Standing but overall there is very little left and so at least 12 to 13000 people who are. Who have had to evacuate to camp overnight because of the fires. Are currently in the streets with nowhere to go so its obviously a little bit too soon to have really precise and confirmed news about how exactly the fires were started it seems that it is in the possible that it was the residents of the camp who started them. What you need to keep in mind that for the last 5 years there has been a completely inhumane and the plural why gratian policy in place is madea people have been living in completely inhumane circumstances for the last 5 years have absolutely no perspective and this is the whole of stress has been augmented tremendously in the last 6 months with very Strict Movement restrictions related to covert 19 and then of course these tional stress when last week the 1st case of it was identified in the camp and the camp was put under under mass quarantine so meaning nobody was anymore allowed to leave the camp so i think what were seeing now its unfortunately very sad but also a predictable outcome of these horrendous migration policies that people have been suffering from for the last 5 years so there was a 1st case last week 2000 people were tested then by greek help authorities and which resulted up to yesterday in reportedly in total of 35. 00 cases who had been put in isolation right now and there is nothing of anymore in place for it because consider the account no longer there and we are extremely worried not only 4040. Present children that even money who are currently on the streets but in particular we need to hope and also more than 200 people live in the camp who are at particular risk or covert either because of their age or because of comorbidities that would mean that if they get infected they will be much more sick than the rest of the population and so as far as we know right now those 200. 00 are mixed in the big group of 13000 who are basically at loss in the streets.

Trials for one of the worlds most promising coronavirus treatments are on hold because of the unexplained illness of one of the participants developers in Oxford University in england started late stage testing last week the World Health Organization says safety is the primary focus for Clinical Trials and that it is routine practice to investigate when unexplained illnesses occur thousands of patients in britain brazil south africa and the us are all taking parts now the u. S. Is top Infectious Disease expert says its unfortunate the trial had to be delayed but points out that its a normal part of the process. Thats the reason why you have various phases of trials to determine if in fact these candidates are safe this particular candidate from the Astra Zeneca Company had a serious adverse event which means you put the rest of the enrollment of individual volunteers on hold until you can work out precisely what went on the other sites to see if they see anything similar to this or related to that and then you proceed cautiously as you go forward making sure youre on the alert for this type of an adverse event but its really one of the safety valves that you have on Clinical Trials such as this so its unfortunate that it happened hopefully theyll work it out and be able to proceed along with the remainder of the trial but you dont know they need to investigate it further and lets talk about that investigation process with derek gatherings of are all just in lecture at Lancaster University is joining us via skype from lancaster thanks very much for your time with us on aljazeera so when this happens in a Clinical Trial what are the next steps that Health Experts of the scientists will be taking. Its important to remember that this could occur is unprecedented partly because of the sheer scale we have nearly 20000. 00 participants there on several continents so theres a lot of logistical problems in running it also the sheer speed with which it has to be can you know because of the urgency of getting a vaccine by the target of the end of the year and also finally because the disease that were trying to prevent with the vaccine is one that produces new symptoms and possibly as many as 3 quarters of the people that contract it so for that reason everybody on the trial has to be under extreme medical scrutiny they have to be tasted very regularly to see whether they have corona virus. Shading the virus and not just sometimes because the main or have some symptoms and this means that wallace and things will be picked up in the routine medical screening some may be true and some may be quite serious and when Something Like this doesnt arise which is out of the normal things that we dont normally see and vaccine trials that was beyond my my own fevers and hey digs are often a complication of of the vaccines then the trial has to be stalked while the situation is a 6th regarding what the potential causes of this. Disease are in the volunteers right so obviously these scientists now will be trying to figure out whether this person had fallen ill they had something wrong with them or whether this is linked to the its in a Clinical Trial in a vaccine. Yes thats correct it might be something which we can see in the previous clinical records of this particular piece and that would be to see that this person has suffered from this in the past and therefore its something that they can discard and theyre also be wanted to run lots of other tests and appreciate see whether theres any evidence of or any potential reaction to the vaccine anymore to immune reaction so until theyve got that date and place the trial hast store up because it would be right to continue the trial until they are satisfied that its not going to be something thats going to be popping up in other volunteers in the trial and we understand that this particular trial is now in phase 3 so when a trial goes into phase 3 what exactly does that mean what it what does that mean the lifespan of the trial and what is that process comprised off. Phase 3 is a statistical. Attempt to see whether the vaccine does actually prevent the disease so its beyond the basic safety tasting that occurs in phase one and the assessment of an adequate immune response that carson feeds to so the idea is to see whether we can get evidence that the vaccine it produces mystically significant reduction in the appearance of the disease in the vaccinated population compared to the cebu population one of the problems that we have in this particular case is the trial is running on so many continents and in very many Different Countries and each of those countries heist different routes about hope people need to protect themselves from cords infections some require asks of us dont and so on and also sometimes that are different societies norms just because a country has a rule that mass should be warm doesnt necessarily mean that masks will be worn and we have to take those kind of factors into account because that if people are being tried in a situation where the underlying likelihood of covert 19 infection is reduced because of these measures that are happening in a population. Then it means that we may see fewer cases and who is trying populations and conversely in places where theres very little possibility of social distancing and protective equipment is not readily available we may see it with its rates in both it and vigilance from from those populations so theres an immense amount of coatless hitting factors here when it comes to judging the final results based to trial but that is something thats that stations will have to get to grips with ok and terry gatherer thank you very much for speaking to us on aljazeera and clearing that up for us well speaking off some of the restrictions now england is imposing stricter coronavirus restrictions amid a steep rise in infections taken. Look at the live picture right now from london thats a Prime MinisterBoris Johnson hes announcing those measures right now and rules include reducing the number of people allowed at social gatherings and those who dont comply will be fined visions 3 and lawrence needed time today he joins us from oxford to the Prime Minister speaking right now announcing. Changes laurence monday what are the updated rules and how will they be enforced. The problem the u. K. Has got is the same as in other European Countries summers over kids are going back to school. You know the old sums on the way just in the not just england but countries like the Czech Republic the netherlands elsewhere suddenly steep rises in the infection rates and the problem that the u. K. Has got and theyve been identifying this is the 1st time in several months that Boris Johnsons held a News Conference like this with both his chief scientific advisor and his chief medical officer and the chief scientific advisor showed that a number of slides looking at the rising rates have the last few days in the demographics and the and the age group that seeing the biggest rise in cases is young people its between 18 or 20. 29 thats a steep rise old people its fairly flat but the messaging that the governments been trying to say to them look you might not get ill but you might kill one of your grandparents that hasnt been working and interesting they showed some slides which demonstrates that the rise in the u. K. In england im sorry is very similar thats of france but belgium they said to taken what they call Decisive Action and immediately the right side is to flatten out again and so based on that they say theyve had no choice but to bring in these measures to try to avoid
