Other fires on the west coast as well while president ial rival joe biden labels him a climate arsonist. And is there life on venus scientists which might be a clue why have more on that. Im brian thomas good to have you with us today german media reports indicate that chancellor on the america and her government have agreed to take in 1500 migrants from the greek island of lesbos pressure has been growing to find a solution for the more than 12000 people left without shelter when the fire tore through the morea migrant camp last week migrants have been protesting plans by the greek government to re housed them on the island until there was silence applications have been processed. Lets get more now with our chief Political International correspondent rather Richard Walker richard good to see you can you confirm these reports what are you hearing. Yeah well theres no official word from the interior ministry yet to brian but it does look like this is on we are expecting to hear from the interior ministry jury in the course of the day now the plan thats being reported is that these 1500 refugees are from they all 400 families and these are families whose asylum applications have already been approved now i think also one interesting detail that merging from the reporting is that these refugees are not all from the moria camp or even all from the island of lesbos but rather that they come from other greek islands too and i think that might be something that we hear stress that i think theres a concern potentially of suggesting that there may be incentives to light fires in refugee camps if it does end up being confirmed as the greek authorities suspect that this fire may have been started by migrants in the morea camp so i think thats going to be one thing to watch in the messaging as well and this is also in addition to 150 unaccompanied minors who are the German Government has already said that it was planning to take him richard you brought up some very important points in the debate the controversy surrounding this issue taking in the margins but there are a lot of other elements to the controversy as well. Well thats right i mean migration is of course had the power to be controversial in any country but i think in germany that is of course particularly the case if you think back to 2015 the migration crisis which has played a very Important Role in Political Developments here in germany in the last few years youll remember that germany took in upwards of a 1000000 people then and that feel the right of the rise of the far right populist a. F. D. Party now the temperature has lowered some want in the years since then and the f. T. Is hovering around 10 percent in the polls but the government will be very very wary of doing anything that could fuel a further rise of the kind of backlash against this sort of thing well so theres a very important european element to this germany says it needs a new revamped european asylum system where all countries in the e. U. Club together and take their fair share eastern and Central European countries dont want that but that is likely to be very much back on the agenda because what has happened in this morea com is just reminded everybody that the problems here are not over not at all thanks so much for bringing in all the elements of those words our chief International Editor Richard Walker thank you very much richer. The u. S. Now and president dog trump is back in washington d. C. After meeting with officials in california who are battling the worst wildfires on record there and then to other western states the president downplayed arguments that Climate Change is fueling the record voices and that he said it was poor Forest Management thats largely to blame. These are some of the scenes providing the backdrop to the president s visit to california. Raging wildfires that have burned millions of acres wiped out whole communities and left dozens dead. Scientists theyve blazes like these are being made worse by Climate Change. But donald trump spoke of other concerns after landing in california to meet with top officials. And we have to do a lot about Forest Management obviously Forest Management in california is very important. California governor Gavin Newsome said those concerns were justified but he and other officials went on to press trump on Climate Change just as they are force management the science is in and observed the evidence is self evident that Climate Change is real and that is exacerbating this if we ignore that science and sort of put our head in the sand and think its all about Vegetation Management were not going to succeed together protecting californians think itll start getting cooler but i was just you just watch i wish science and anybody about it but. I dont think science knows actually. And earlier that day harsh words from trumps democratic president ial rival joe biden if you give a climbing arsonist 4 more years in the white house why would anyone be surprised if we have more america boy. If you have a climate denier 4 more years in the white house why would anyone be surprised when more of america is underwater. But trump has his supporters even in deeply democratic california i was just placed by the taubes fire i woke up with my city in flames and the democrats have not done their Due Diligence policy wise and so if there is a component of Global Warming it is a very very small component because the democrats are failing california meanwhile firefighters on the front lines face challenging conditions with shifting winds and drier weather sparking several new blazes.

Here in berlin a ceremony is due to start shortly to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Central Council of jews in germany chester macko will be holding the keynote speech at the event inside the new synagogue the councils been a driving force in the return of jewish life to germany since it was set up 5 years after the show and the killing of 6000000 jews by the nazis today the organization represents the interests of more than 100. 00 jewish communities across the country. Lets go live to use the in a hostage joining us from the new synagogue in downtown berlin where todays events are in place did you know the countrys Jewish Population is only one quarter of one percent nevertheless the Central Council of jews in germany plays a a major role in public life here can you tell us more about that. Well of course the Central Council of jews was founded after the war but it was founded straight after the war one must add and it so itself as the body that would help overcome the nazi past and help the new germany find laws to combat its nazi pos and to make sure that these terrible terrible crimes would never happen again so that was the initial job that the council of jews gave itself over the years of course that tasks have widened and they the main combat of against anti semitism that is their main role now and after the breakup of the soviet union in the 1990 s. Many people came to germany refugees and also just migrants who were looking for a new and different life here in germany and many of them were jews so the council of jews also helped integrate them into society but their main toss now is of course trying to diminish prejudices on both sides and trying to help germans and jews live side by side tazer voters will certainly be picking up on much of that you know what what can we expect today. The ceremony has just started and it is quite impressive just how well it is protected you have to you probably can see behind me the Police Presence is immense half the cabinet of the German Government is there you have uncle americal that you have several of her ministers sitting in the audience and the president of the council of jews is giving a big speech then they will show a film about the 70 years of the existence of the council of jews and mackel will then hold the keynote address its been a very difficult years for jews here in germany is the Jewish Community looking toward the future with optimism. Well they say that theyre giving germany another sense of trust that theyre giving them that they late lie a lot of trust into the German Society because they say that the vast majority of germans have a lot of respect for jews but that there is a creeping sense of uneasiness and the president of the council of jews also said that jews cant feel safe everywhere in germany theres a sense of uneasiness that children for example hide their religious symbols under their t. Shirts rather than showing them openly but also we have seen those massive attacks against jews here in germany and this is something where the council of jews is saying they demand a lot more and strongest signals from people in responsible positions you know thanks so much for that well have much more live from this event shortly thanks for now you know. Well a stronger sub discovered what could be signs of life on venus theyve detected a gas in the atmosphere one that has so far only been found on earth its usually a byproduct of organic matter breaking down now this news has been held by the head of nasa is the most Significant Development yet in the hunt for extraterrestrial life. Is there life in the clouds around venus. Its too early to tell but an International Research team has discovered a clue there are rare gas faustina on earth its produced by microbes who live in low oxygen environments. Telescopes in chile and hawaii spotted the gas by its chemical signature. Phosphate molecules in venuss clouds absorb short wave radio waves that exist in the lower atmosphere but can the gas really come from microorganisms. Dont even the researchers explicitly say that they are not in the position to state that theyve discovered life in venus is that most fear. Could result from national processes like lightning volcanic activities or for other reasons of any case. If there really are microorganisms in venus as clouds they would be hearty beings indeed those clouds are full of acid which is found full to life. Whether there is truly life in those clouds must be confirmed by further observation a Russian Space probe is expected to reach venus is surface in the coming decade.
