Scuse me story thousands of people also took part in the vigil but these 24. 00 have been singled out and they could face charges of up to 5 years in jail and among them as. He is one of the founding members of the 1st ever vidual off to the 1909 massacre itself in beijing the tiananmen event that he was also far to trying to help dissidents during the time he was defiant before going into court and heres what he had to say. We insist that paul then the family every year with the law is not ok. Well you said we have no call there where they say its also against him the nazi ethic on their late goals and 2nd of all you know there are you going to let me go now impose on people when you feel while youre in that. Vigil so is there a sense that this is just another example of the erosion of those of freedom in hong kong via. Thats right Serena Hong Kong is still very much reeling from the National Security law which beijing imposed on july the 1st its a wide ranging law 8 the terms are quite vague many people are not sure what they can and cant say and what is crossing the line in fact many people are now wondering whether leach or kyons comments could be crossing that line too but theres also concern about this june for a candlelight vigil the government said that they had counsel that due to the corona Virus Outbreak but seeing the kind of backlash weve seen here today and particularly with these court cases that are ongoing not just these but many prior to this for prodemocracy activists activism are protests that questions whether hong kong will ever be allowed to hold that event again hong kong is definitely feeling a sense that its freedom of expression its gentle freedom is being squeezed. Already if youre thank you very much for that update from hong kong oakleys 24 migrants are presumed to have drowned after their boat capsized in the mediterranean the Un Migration Agency says libyas coast guard intercepted 3 boats altogether on monday it recovered 2 bodies and a total of 45. 00 survivors a majority of the migrants are from egypt and rocco. In the fortys on the greek olive the west coast say they plan on relocating 12000 refugees into it and accommodation in the next 3 to 4 days hundreds have already been moved after their camp was destroyed last week by huge fire they have staged protests with many wanting to be moved to the greek mainland live to Stephanie Decker shes joining us from well i suppose so we talked about fire what are authorities saying about why people are still on the streets and they havent been moved to the new camp yet. Well its a bit of a bizarre situation in the sense that it has been a week as you say and there hasnt been any movement of trying to push them into this is the new tent tented there in the army is setting that up ill just step out a shot you have some people dripping in around 800 or so are now in this camp you can see one girl giving her papers but people are very fearful of coming here theyve been telling us that many of the refugees that they believe if they enter this camp theyre going to be locked down what they want is to leave the island a lot of rumors now yesterday the authorities here have given a paper leaflet in many languages and are doing arabic in farsi in english in french because you have so many different refugees from Different Countries here telling them that this entering here is the only option to keep them safe provide them with shelter and food and interesting me and to put pressure on them is the only way that theyre asylum process will be continued any anyone whos had any appointment that was scheduled thats not in this camp will no longer be having that appointment so its a way of telling them this is the only way and its interesting the the paper we saw that has been bold to get you off this island a soon as possible so basically what theyre saying to them is you have no other choice other than to come here to register to stay in this camp and then we will continue the process to get you off the island thats what everyone here wants but certainly its going to be a lengthy process its very complicated and again at the this point in time people to come in voluntarily were here. Perhaps in the next couple of days they might be forcibly moved but again these are rumors nothing very clear at the moment but certainly only around 800 cases just briefly i think also importantly corona is a real concern everyone does get tested before they get in around 21 pounds of the cases have been found among those 800 refugees so far. And stuff i mean how do the local residents of les feel about whats going on in the island. And there is tension here one of the villages we spoke to yesterday told us this is a tale of 2 tragedies but our tragedy nobody understands and is the forgotten one you know the villages here the islanders have been hosting this refugee population for years it started of course with the syrian war in 2015 but what they say is the tolerance is change for sure and when it comes to the majority why because the economys been affected tourism has been affected this is an island known for its all the groves making all the oil just yesterday in the morning we drove pauls volunteers cleaning up an olive grove where the refugees are trying to seek shelter a lot of garbage so theres this tension that trying to see how to coexist they want them off the island they think that this is opportunity to clean it up as they say and move on the refugees also they want to be here but of course it is a very difficult situation you have some islanders who are far more right wing about it other islands understandable and say we understand but we need to continue our lives as normal so it is a difficult situation and certainly i think whats interesting is that the fire what its done is reignited the debate its rediscuss what to do with these people theyre not wanted here they dont want to be here but at the moment certainly the message from the authorities is that theyre not leaving all right stephanie decorah thank you for about reporting from last month. Thousands of people who lost everything and worst ever floods are calling for more help started to arrive over the last few days but those affected say it hasnt been enough at least a 100 people were killed and thousands of homes are submerged then all river has risen to record levels but as the water recedes there is still a threat of water borne diseases. And senegal is one of several west african countries thats been battered by heavy rain the government is now facing criticism for failing to warn people to prepare for the floods large parts of the capital are submerged thousands have been displaced from the car reports displaced in finding the elements the rains took away their homes now its taking away their shelter inside.

Neighborhood into an island sinking overflowing sewage with roadster derivatives the area has become almost inaccessible most have left their homes stranded are few families like the braving disease infested waters to save their belongings from looters. We cant afford to pay rent anywhere else which you expect us to go we have no choice but to adapt to the situation. As early as february governments in west africa were warned by the un that this years rainy season would bring floods yet people were not alerted of the storms aljazeera has reached out to the city glees government and is awaiting their comment meanwhile the government announced it will release emergency funds to assist those displaced. In jordan 12 the government allocated more than 1000000000. 00 to tackle the problem of floods but people here are wondering what have they done with that money so far theyve used it for these tents for those that have been displaced but with intensifying rains people here fear that these are temporary solutions to a long term problem. Whilst the mayor of como son in senegal says Climate Change is responsible for the destruction angry residents blame the state for its lack of planning. Soon feels like a bad dream the states must come and build a sewage system so that they can be an end to the floods with months to go before the end of the rainy season has no intention of returning home fearing what is to come.
