Lets go straight to les mis now and max zander covering the story for us could take you max it can you tell us about the Police Operation thats now moving people into the new camp and about the response its getting. Yes brian well there has been an Police Operation ongoing ever since the start of the fire and moria its just a fire in moria about 9 days ago i went to police 1st started blocking my boots were in their way to me to leave me down this road behind me. To get to the capital city here unless theyve been camping out ever since now there has been a lot of Police Deployed to this area local police and riot police and it seems that these efforts have been ramped up over the last 2 Days Since Last morning when police 1st started moving hundreds of migrants into the new facility that is behind me right now there is long lines looks are different from the last couple days long lines of people who are waiting to get processed who are waiting to move into the new camp and it seems that the authorities here are trying to get the situation can try to get on top of the situation again and trying to get this over with opening the street for traffic and for locals to get access to their business and as says and properties as soon as possible im actually been talking to a lot of people we want to take a look now at the report you sent us earlier focusing on some of the local volunteers youve been talking with. Its 2 hours until lunch time cost us police and his team have to hurry theyre cooking for about 2000 people today outdoors and with the most basic equipment not an easy task. If one is a no i often have difficulties with the high winds and we need more helpers to come here to join us to us today he thought aki is on the menu creek noodles with vegetables the meals are provided by a volunteer organization they set up his mobile kitchen in the ruins of moria just days after a fire obliterated europes largest refugee camp this place used to be somebodys home over here a gas bottle next to a kitchen utensils people used to. Look here next to it another home with Water Bottles completely destroyed by the fire more a campus home to 13000 People Living here in crowds unbearable conditions the sound. Is well aware of the extent of this catastrophe that he founded his organization during the financial crisis but he and many other people in greece lost almost everything 1st began cooking for people on the streets of athens and when the refugee crisis hit the greek islands in 2015 they got involved here and lesbos since then their mission hasnt changed. At all but i met me. We decided to come here firstly because we have an urgent need for food and secondly to calm the people down take some of their anxiety away and show them that we are with them to show that not all people are fascist or racist and that we can hear from the people next to us that if they dont feel its not alone what. Volunteers and refugees cook and eat together trying to provide a sense of Community Among people who are left with nothing but one another that i hear oh honey a survey i was in the same situation as the others are in now i understand that. I mentioned it does you know the. Most former camp residents have been sleeping here out in the open on the streets of lesbos. Those Security Forces started to move people to a new provisional camp the majority of refugees and migrants refused to go there fearing conditions might soon become as unbearable as they were and more via. Uganda learning aid organizations are warning that the situation among those displaced by the fire continues to deteriorate at a rapid pace theyre basically lacking the same things as they were lacking already 5 years ago only worse meaning that the access of food is even worse than before the access of clean water is worse than before the axis of health care is even worse than before meaning that every. That we saw that was bad before is worse now during his time on the island cost us political nobilis has noticed any improvements either he says its frustrating but he can only hope for some positive changes just like the people stuck here. I dont live in the middle of it if they dont have the hope they will tell you that all they have left is hope to make a new beginning for themselves and let their children live a better life. Finally lunch is ready and the head chef does miss out on the opportunity to serve this has been an intense experience for him but today will dishing out mule number 1500 he says hes still on top of his. 4 greek warrior i have a lot a lot more to do we have barely even begun to be out of. His volunteers are determined to continue for as long as needed serving food at a share of solidarity one spoon at a time for a little. Max hope is so important to dull of this as we saw in your report there and can you tell us about the new facility which is meant to give some of that to the migrants what were some of your impressions is it a realistic alternative to the one that burnt down. Thats a very difficult or very complex question there bryan us journalists we have very limited very rare access to the new facilities i myself was there a couple days ago for the visit of the new Council President shatner so we were just driven quickly through the new facilities and had a little glimpse of what the people who would kind of situation they would kind of state the camp was in back then it seemed like the camp was being put in place and in a rush the ground just strictly prepared with bulldozers and then tents being crammed constructed on top without proper insulation. And without proper preparing it for. Expected heavy rainfall and. Now starting in and fall and winter for example also weve been talking to people who are inside and they tell us that there is still a lack of access to facilities to toilets to medical attention even Food Distribution a lot of distribution seems to be an issue from from what youre hearing so probably not much better than then or you can also another important fact is that this property where the campus be constructed on was a former military base a shooting range so there is a lot of. Most likely a lot of residue of chemicals of explosives of any ship there show definitely not a place where families or children or anyone would be safe to live and have max missions we have about 5000 people according to latest reports that have moved into that new facility 8000 still have not moved whats going to happen to the people the migrants who say no were not going and were were not going into that new camp whats going to happen with them. Thats a very difficult question. Richies have been asking that them show themselves weve been asking us the same question and im sure so have the authorities and im sure theres not a a a master plan and place but from what weve seen so far for the last 24 hours the police Security Forces seem to have been stepping up their game a lot more police has been deployed Water Cannons right police have been deployed so it seems that they are really trying to get control of the situation with whatever it takes max though as thanks so much for all your reporting from blasts. To brazil now where more than 10 percent of the Worlds Largest wetlands a punt and all have been devastated this year by unprecedented fires those fighting the blazes can only hope that enough rain comes soon to help extinguish the flames but its more than just the hot dry conditions that stand in the way of protecting this region as we find out our next report. For the past several weeks catastrophic forest fires have ravaged the nature reserve destroying a unique ecosystem in the process the director of the reserve has watched helplessly as more of the protected landscape burns each day. Last year alone 10000. 00 hectares of forests burnt to the ground this year its been 3 times that much its a huge loss. This area is one of the most biodiverse places in the world tourists flock here to see endangered animals in the wild. Like the jarvis stork. And jaguars. These are the worst players the area has seen in over a decade for their north fires are also raging in the amazon rain forest many of them were started illegally to clear forest for farming the smoke from those fires has spread to cities with devastating consequences for the help of locals but farmers know there are a few consequences who are illegally starting the fires brazils president consistently undermines protections. N. G. O. S get money from abroad and they dont have a chance of fighting me i will continue to fight and kill this cancerous tumor that is the Environmental Protection agency. Narrow dispatched the military to the amazon to help battle the fires the same military that carved roads through and erected settlements during the military dictatorship from 1964 to 1905. Critics fear brazils military could create a permanent presence in the rain forest. No no there will be no militarization of the rain forest were just here in a logistical capacity for example our helicopters there used to battle the fires. Its likely after the fires agriculture here will expand including more fields for products like soybeans and meat bound for the european marc. It thats why environmentalists are calling for e. U. Laws that would protect brazil against further deforestation every day the flames reach further the area is in dire need of rain but none is expected for at least several weeks. We have some football now and its Opening Night for the bonus League Season here in germany with champions byron hosting shell cup there will be no fans in attendance after a last minute decision to keep stadium empty due to rising infection rates the players have become accustomed to what germans call ghost games and theyre also accustomed to biron coming out on top. Its no secret fire in munich dominate the bundesliga it was written all over their shirts at the end of last season after they made it a record 8 titles in a row 30 overall. The last time a team other than byron won the bundesliga was years back wait for it 2012 that was dortmund but last season was exceptional after biron signed the league title they sealed the german cup and delivered the Champions League for their 2nd trouble in 7 years
