C. Images show a different reality and now these demonstrations are not only aimed against because shanta but putin as well.

Health condition or they have like a problem with heart with kidneys all of us in the sense of the waste and all of us we are lost we have no idea what to do we just we have to wait there is a new camp thats being set up but only a few 100 people have been transferred so far there are around 12000 that need to be read or get tested for the coronavirus before they get allocated a tent there is a real fear that is spreading among the refugees most still remain on the streets in the hills of the. And so after having spent the day here talking to people we just got a phone call that the police had come to evict them because this is private property now weve been watching people throughout the day picking up tarpaulins whatever they could find some of these nets you can see a mattress here and some of the food handouts just left so again there on the streets yes there is a new camp thats been set up but by no means is that large enough to house the thousands of people that need shelter we need a group of young men trying to decide where to sleep. Where shall we go now we have no idea what our fate will be if we go to the people dont want us were not welcome were displaced once again we will sleep in the orchards what the burning down of europes biggest refugee camp has done is reignited the debate and turned the international spotlight back on these forgotten people Stephanie Decker on Lesbos Island greece meanwhile a ship carrying more than 270 rescued migrants is in the Mediterranean Sea waiting for a port to allow them to disembark people were pulled from small boats in 3 different operations in the past week the owners of the spanish rescue ship are appealing for the overcrowded vessel to be allowed into a port more than 18000 people have lost their lives in mediterranean crossings since 2014.

Well millions of people in russia are voting in a series of local elections they are deciding on members of regional parliaments minister policies and govern as a vote follows major protests and claims the kremlin ordered the poisoning of the Opposition Leader likes in a valley something the government has denied and he has the story. If these elections are being watched more closely than ever its because of a rising sense of discontent among parts of the public tens of millions of russians have been voting for local parliaments and Regional Governors weeks after the German Government said Opposition Leader alexina valley had been poisoned. Novelli still in hospital in berlin he fell seriously ill last month as he left siberia where hed been campaigning germany says it was an attempted murder and his supporters claim it was ordered by president Vladimir Putin no valleys team is advocating smart voting in other words backing whoever is best positioned to defeat president putins United Russia Party whether the candidates from the valleys own movement a nationalist or a communist here in tomsk in the valley highlighted local corruption in this Campaign Video he refers to blood sucking creatures. Naturally use it but im strongly if ive already started travelling around cities in the country to declare war against the united russia he says here its clear this place should be one of the 1st because its sorely needed in this war and its a message thats making inroads among some voters ok were to find out its kind of a given that everybody steals but its one thing when someone abstract is stealing and another when its someone specific right here among earth and someone you could put pressure on through voting. For the far eastern city of qatar off scale there have been large demonstrations for the past 2 months prompted by the arrest of a popular local governor while the rallies may have surprised the kremlin nobodys predicting anything other than a nationwide win for the ruling united russia but this election does present a new approach from Vladimir Putins opponents what theyre trying to do is to chip away at the kremlins image and intense ability that the kremlin completely controls elections if through start very soon about he and his team can demonstrate that there is scope for competition that there is scope for opposition success then that might lead to a snowball. Effect and thats something that the kremlin is incredibly worried about. As in the past there have been complaints about irregularities the social media video appears to show officials stuffing ballot boxes in the rostov on don region al jazeera cannot independently verify this footage but once all the results are in they should provide an idea of the main battlegrounds for next years parliamentary elections the diem baba aljazeera.

Back our main story this hour at least 250 people have been arrested in the battle russian capital minsk after 100000 protesters defied warnings and riot police to gather in the city center earlier the government shut down the internet. And in our other top stories authorities in greece have started moving refugees to a new site on the island of les vos after their camp burnt down about 12000 people have been sleeping rough since the mori count which was europes largest was reduced to ashes and a Turkish Research vessel has returned to the countrys shores after mapping out possible oil and gas trading prospects in a disputed part of the Eastern Mediterranean tensions spiked last month between nato members turkey and greece over competing claims to potential Energy Resources. And other stories were following this hour at least 26 people have died in wildfires that have devastated parts of the u. S. West coast authorities in the state of oregon a warning about the possibility of mass fatalities a search and rescue teams comb the areas president onil trouble visit fire ravaged parts of california on monday but his approach to the fire is already causing controversy as patty cohen explains. All across the west spread out through several states similar yet shocking scenes walls of flames apocalyptic looking skies and seas of bash remnants of the lives lived here now just rubble for those who can return many finding their worst fears confirmed george kaba lost 5 homes in this family compound his business and cars that are not insured. You already had our stock trader and our travel trailer hooked up to the pickup but we really didnt think it was going to come here so we just kind of like so we didnt think to grab a lot of stuff that we should have grabbed we just when we seen a fire that close we just grabbed the animals left all but the cat couldnt find and then the Cat Came Back to day 2 or 3 days later we found him. Belly but other than that we got him and he did more than half a 1000000 people in the state of oregon have evacuated or been told to be ready to leave many still refuse some got lucky water still works we came here. Which you know like i said why it was work and there was no power though so this was working able to put out more hot spots there was a fire all around us so. Its not as bad as it used to be with dozens missing searchers have begun sifting through the debris looking in finding more bodies this is the desperate situation as the u. S. President arrives on monday but hes already framing how he sees these historically bad wildfires spoke to the folks in oregon. Washington there really havent they never had anything like this but you know it is about Forest Management please remember the words very simple Forest Management please. But the democratic governors here strongly disagree and lee know that Climate Change is making the fires start easier spread faster and intensify and it is maddening right now that we have this cosmic challenge to our communities with the entire west coast of the United States on fire to have a president who did die these are not just wildfires these are climate fires the weather did give firefighters a break over the weekend with calmer winds and cooler temperatures but that will be short lived as monday is expected to bring wind gusts of more than 60 kilometers an hour a worst Case Scenario for a scene that over he seems to be just that particle hanging aljazeera well David Steeves is the science environment managing editor with arkham public broadcasting joins me now live by skype from poland and it looks as though that the wildfire situation in oregon is becoming increasingly was that must be mounting fears about the possibility of mass fatalities. Now that its true were just getting to the point where people live and returning to some of the communities that they were down there weve seen the death toll reach 10 but everyone in organise bracing for those numbers to get much much worse in the days to come what about the evacuation of 10 percent of the total population have been issued with this with this warning. Yeah its the really surreal we live with wildfire every late summer and every fall here in the state of oregon and cross the west but this is the 1st time that anyone has experienced it coming right down into major metropolitan areas including portland a city metro area you know more than a 1000000 people and in some good news just within the last couple of hours weve seen those evacuation statuses drop so that were now seeing tens of thousands of people being told theyre no longer in an evacuation area thats in the suburbs bedroom communities to the east and south the city of portland this is. Very difficult to this is it is a historic wildfire season isnt it and of course you are there in poland where currently the equity is the was in the well what does it what does always feel like it is really almost impossible to wrap your head around it because as i mention we live on the edge of wildfire but never in the middle of such horrendous experiences and so to just open the door
