11:18 pm
are the songs onto the there are no toilets or sanitary facilities, only the women have something resembling a shower. but they have to fetch the water by hand and to the nearest location is 2 kilometers away. a farmer provides them with water from the hose. this is the ones that were used to drink, to poke on also to wash and drone 3. 0 i thought, well this website smell, feel a of salt taste. what? so what do i have of of sure. for last week on who is this one? drinking the dirty water gets some headaches, stomach aches and diarrhea, but not drinking. it would mean dying of thirst. everyone here in the camp has come a long way. most of them pass through the sahara. their journey has already been traumatic during these various good. um,
11:19 pm
so some died, some people even able to make it so that they don't deli as well, but i'm comfortable i, i couldn't even remember the defeat of some of the, those before you can fast by the woodside, you can even spots booms a few months. few months scores 23 year old mary saw sledge guinea, together with her sisters. they travel a part of the journey by car part on foot coming via molly algeria and libya to tanisha. they've covered 5 and a half 1000 kilometers so far. during the march through the desert, they found a girl named her. i'll be out. now they're all here together, stuck at the 30 kilometer camp is really some deadlines. if somebody doesn't look at these more that he's not seeing, the job is more that he's that
11:20 pm
he said he's the so you said pete's been in the camp. they show us videos of refugees who they say were taken into the desert by the gymnasium police. many of them have experienced this before then they say the police target asylum seekers picking them up and taking them to the all german or libyan border. there is no. their aim is to deter more people from coming with him as bartolic. see from police with who is what it is, cannot be the black people, african my drunk using them as a fix. can nothing tune them we do or do at this that the we have to trick and come back again over and over again. when europe and commission president or the funder line visited tunisia in the summer of 2023, she was well aware of the human rights violations. she held talks with denise is president how you said,
11:21 pm
but the focus was not human rights or is that the funder line had been tasked by any leaders withstanding the flow of refugees from africa. she was accompanied on her trip by a tele and prime minister, georgia maloney. the e u is looking to tanisha for help. they stopped the refugees and didn't return receive millions of yours from brussels. funded line made no mention of the offences committed by the nation. please, at least not in public, she only talks about the crimes of a legal traffickers. we need to crack down on criminal networks of smart, less than traffic because they are exploiting schuman despair. the e u has entered into partnership with the controversial president, was a very different take on human rights. shortly after funder lines visit. these images went round the world. the canadian security forces had again
11:22 pm
abducted migrants and taking them to the libyan border. there they abandoned them in the desert and scorching heat without water. denisia confirmed the authorities were behind these actions. the you simply looked at the other way, european values of band and in the desert, along with the migrants. one person who knows all about migration deals is girls canals. he was the architect of the use deal with turkey and is generally in favor of such agreements with 3rd countries. but he says the use deal with tanisha is unacceptable scale level. it's purely about giving tunisia and incentive through money to prevent people from leaving and support cities and heading to you are on you and a half. and we've already seen last year, and we'll probably continue to see that this is not affecting the task mr. fix davis, but above all, the main cost will be the violation of human right for the next thing. and so the
11:23 pm
many thousands of refugees now stuck in tunisia are also changing life for local people, including the for lost family. they live next to an olive grove, the residence of cam 30 come to them for fresh, clean drinking water. they're not welcome here, but the women don't dare to turn them away. may help me. i don't want them to come here. i said when they come to the water, there's sometimes there's 15 of them. sometimes 20. they even come for it. when i turn off the tap, how they just help themselves anyway. portion, the way i'm going to use the asylum seekers also use the house to charge their cell phones. there's no electricity in the camp and cell phones are vital for the migrants. it's the only way they can keep in touch with their families and with the traffickers. from the other one up the in the evening we have
11:24 pm
to barricade the door with a chat. we're afraid is a way lower up left and they come at night to grab the cell phone. and as of may afterward, i knew were afraid to go to bed. my husband, my 2 daughters and i a lessons all the time going off and praying. lots of bodies on the asylum seekers that leave donasia by boat are usually headed for the italian island of long produce on the journey to the e. u is about 190 kilometers. if the migrants are lucky, they will be picked up by the italian coast guard, or they arrived directly and not produced. the crossing though is highly risky, with up to 50 people crammed on to small metal boats. there are gaps and tenacious border policing and that has repercussions for the italian islands, migrants are still getting through by september 2023 monthly dues. it was once
11:25 pm
again overwhelmed. local residents had had enough that we have a message for the european community. we can't do this anymore. you leaders and travel to long produce to signal to the angry population. they were handling the issue. europe and commission president or the funder lion and at least georgia, maloney came to find answers and diffuse the situation. because countries like the we are bearing the brunt of the refugee crisis. so it only now wants to solve its refugee problem in neighboring albania. we've come together in the north of the country is around 1200 kilometers from milan, produce up. the area is home to nearly 7000 people most live from farming prey,
11:26 pm
nebraska is 80 years old. she lives alone together with her 3 cats. as of yet, she is unaware that she's about to become a key part of your a migration system. and the she loves her garden and keeps a few chickens. theatre is a quiet place. she says many young people in rural areas, leave albania, for jobs abroad. or my 8 o'clock in this village used to be a city because people did everything they could to come here. now we hardly have a doctor know, pharmacy and we have to go to the city to get medication. um yes, you can of your skin. uh there used to be doctors, nurses, and pharmacies here physically. oh gosh, i did this. this deserted area on the european union's doorstep is now the focus of
11:27 pm
attention, especially in italy, which wants to bring it to asylum seekers here. starting in the fall, processing centers are to be set up on an old military compound, and italy will finance and run them. the plan is to accommodate a total of $36000.00 african migrants each year. they won't be allowed to leave the camps while they're asylum applications are being processed over no more and that's, that's good. it's not let them come and stay as long as they need to re up or we are in our homes. i suppose maybe those poor people will not harm us your soon. even if they were to bring them into my garden up to that they are and will always be human beings. eddie rama is albania, is prime minister and to the man behind the migration deal signed with a tele and premier maloney. he used to be an artist. his pictures decorate the walls government. he shows us a sculpture of abraham lincoln reading, a book of donald trump. tweets, is he an artist working on the site as
11:28 pm
a politician or vice versa? the lines blur when talking about europe. now if you think about here of today, i think a beautiful picture covered with a very, with a gray with a gray, a tool. so we need to faithful and look to the picture. he signed the migration deal with georgia, maloney, and november 2023. under the agreement. it will, we will send it to asylum seekers. 12, any of their cases will be decided and a fast track procedure. but still, according to e law, those who are not granted asylum will be deported back to their country of origin. other e, your countries are also keen town source, their migration processing. but at the moment, rama only wants to help italy. italian style managers later such as
11:29 pm
i say that we are separated by c, but and by manage things in history. but we are practically living in the same area in the government district and t rhonda. the european flag flies alongside the albanian flag. the country has been a candidate for e u membership since 2014, but it will be many years before it can become part of a block. the albania entered a new era after the end of the communist dictatorship in 1990. but the country still suffers from a difficult economic situation, and corruption remains a problem. as a leader rama is controversial. a migration deal like this helps to polish up both his own image and about of his country. we've gone through it for i mean a recognition for us is enough to not be to not be seen in your tv. for example, like we were seeing not very long ago,
11:30 pm
10 years, 20 years ago, a country as a gloomy country, full of bad, clean knowledge, the crap shown. and all this is not that we don't have a problem subject even though it is not. do we don't have problems of corruption fire from that, but we were not then nevertheless, it's clear that asylum seekers who end up in albany are not in the european union. this hoped it's all designed to make it really less attractive for migrants. but the deal with albania does not solve the problem of how to deport failed asylum seekers. not surely, of course, it is legitimate for every democracy, for every stage governed by the rule of law, anywhere in the world to return people who have no right of residents to their home country or where possible to
11:31 pm
a safe 3rd country in progress. nobody question about that, right? but at the same time, it must be clear to everyone that this only works if the countries of origin cooperate. if they do not cooperate, we will see what we've been seeing everywhere for 10 years in spain, england, italy, friends, austria and germany, that the number of refugees being returned to their countries of origin stop or falling short. european union politicians have been struggling with migration policy for years to take a closer look. we had now to the european capital of brussels. the block has reached a political turning point. the use 27 member countries have argued free years over border protection, deportation and the role of transit countries and countries of origin. you commissioner, use a yonce and as a central political figure in shaping migration policy, she spent 5 years negotiating and winning support for a tougher migration packed. it's aim to reduce illegal migration to europe and have
11:32 pm
asylum cases processed at the blocks external border. this is a turning point. if your up can not managed migration together, this is going to be a disaster that's going to mean that they build the fortress europe. that'd be a going to leave the important values of protecting the right to apply for assignment was coming. people also on the go path, which did you being unit. we have to show our citizens that we can manage migration according to our values in, in an orderly way. in april 2024, the european parliament held the vote on the migration packed spearheaded by you on sense. it provides for fast tracked asylum procedures on europe's external borders . faster deportation and a better distribution of migrants across europe. you once and was hoping to achieve her greatest political triumph to date. a passionate
11:33 pm
soccer fan, she used a soccer comparison to urge the european parliament to endorse the pact. the ball is rolling. now is the time to come together as a team and to score for europe. it can takes years until we are in to find that again. if ever. meanwhile, protesters urged lawmakers to vote against the pat critics here that the deal will effectively restrict the rate to asylum and that those seeking protection will receive less help. they through paper airplanes into the chamber containing the coordinates of migrant votes that have sunk in the mediterranean. but in the end, the migration packed was endorsed by a narrow majority. johansson was visibly moved. the message was clear, europe was getting tough on migration. and this is the main person who will
11:34 pm
oversee the practical implementation of this new tougher line. the funds lightens from the netherlands was the executive director of the european border protection agency. front techs his mission to protect the us external borders without betraying its values. for me, one important part of this is to be a radical you transferred to buffalo, we do and how we do is because from texas image has taken a massive hit in recent years, we confront him over his predecessors, legacy and from tex, had been committing in humane actions like this one, they are known as push backs the coast guard of individual you countries. in this case, greece pushes refugees back into the mediterranean by force. it's actually a violation of the law. licensed agency has been subjected to public scrutiny ever since. see, here are um offices,
11:35 pm
i think as an entity showing unprofessional behavior. and that of course is, is uh to us directly to his migraines. the thing for me does no doubt that does not need a professional, nor an abiding for them in the right. so, so this is behavior i would not accept. how can you make sure that this doesn't happen to look and make sure, because we're not there, of course, because that means that you should be present everywhere. we can, i think it is a gate that stats are high speed, do not accept any behavior unless behavior to be investigate. that is the moral standard that the you hopes to uphold. pushed back so i can grease must not be allowed to happen again. asylum seekers are still arriving on freak islands or next destination is the island of less boats on the south eastern border.
11:36 pm
the refugee crisis escalated here in 2015 with up to 60 boats arriving every day. today from tex has 7 ships, one aircraft, and around $350.00 officers deployed off the creek islands. here we meet from texas, hands lightens once again. but despite their presence asylum seekers are still arriving in motor boats from turkey to the turkish mainland is just 10 kilometers from here and within sight and sadly, people are still drowning. the mediterranean is the deadliest border in the world. but c, rescue is not a priority for europe. our tasking is border to effectiveness. and while it's doing that, we try to hold the fundamental rights and to save lives. so that's, that's the, the right or for us. and our job isn't right now. we don't have the mandates to do from recess and risk. but of course, this ships rescue as lights already. another dangerous border lies in the western
11:37 pm
balkans and many lose their lives on the journey. to find out more, we went to bosnia in january the, the root friends along the drain, a river between serbia, in bosnia, it's actually the main overland fruit to europe. but many who take it pain with their lives not just as from afghanistan, is rather java drowned and the river here as members of the has our ethnic minority. they were being persecuted by the taliban. so the flood afghanistan together traveling thousands of kilometers on foot. sometimes with the help of traffickers via ron turkey, greece, albania, and montenegro, to bosnia. their journey took them for years. now, gibbon, his brother wanted to reach germany. in december 2022, so close to their destination,
11:38 pm
the journey ended in tragedy. the further we prepared a boat and my brother and one of our friends were sitting in the boat with they made an attempt to cross the border. and that was, it was night, 9 30 pm. it's. it was dark everywhere. we couldn't see anything. then we heard a loud sound and they fell into the river. we tried to help, but there was nothing we could do. we couldn't see them anywhere. and we were in shock. so almost 6 months passed before he finally found his brother's body. no knowledge of seek solace at his grave. at least he has a place to mourn. many of those who have drowned remained missing without a name. knowledge of wants to move on. he feels he must get to germany so that his brother has not died in vain or does enjoy this job. and the dream is not over
11:39 pm
yet because i'm still alive and will continue on this path. as long as i are, other brothers are still alive and his dream will not die of the migrants who survived the dream to continue on their journey heading for their ultimate goal, germany. but here to, there's a new wind blowing and for the european union has taken note the culture of welcoming microns championed by former chancellor, under the miracle its history. her successor, or lof schultz has pledged to deport illegal migrants on a large scale. germany wanted to support the use tougher asylum packed uncle americans, famous montrose migration via shot and us, or we can do this has given way to a loss of face welcoming hundreds of thousands of migrants has changed the country
11:40 pm
. some would say overwhelmed. it just like all across europe, there's a fear here of a shift to the far right you want to knows gets the battle for the very soul of the european union. the they will exploit every possibility to use feel and to put fear into the public. have nearly 25000000 migrant that are living the cause of india, p junior. and these the less tomorrow we would be good enough to be able to run our hospital. storks built our houses or do a lot of other jobs that is absolutely necessary. so i think that i should say that there should not see a migration, but you should make sure that you are in control of migration and that you can
11:41 pm
monitor migration. but the willingness to accommodate people and provide for them is wearing fin, berlin's former teagle airport. is a case in point a huge tent camp was set up here designed as a reception center for senior hands and baskets. for now large numbers of ukrainians are stuck here too. and the place is over crowded. around 4600 people are living here in close quarters. the center is bursting at the seams. the people staying here or waiting for an apartment in berlin, but there are none. they come from hockey. i've been here for 10 months, 10 months living and this come out of the head of the 55 year old. tatiana says he and kind of shows us her cabin. she lives here with her son. 14 people and 2 dogs share just 25 square meters. i know the is

the only privacy is their own bed. with these 2 beds, arles, my son sleeps on top. most of these just to them and i sleep downhill. gulker slave them in to this number of my bed also serves as the wardrobe and cupboard as well. so we don't have our own and this is how we've been living the whole time and just as an assist. so someone will fish golf check or a store and there will always be refugees and all of their individual stories continue to unfold for weeks after our visit, one of the tent buildings in the berlin camp burned to the ground. luckily, no one was harmed. and now pena building is now underway on the camp for asylum seekers sent by italy. in bosnia aid worker in the hot has set up another marble gravestone. this one is for the brother of nigi who drowned in the river. and or is

it la funder lion has been to egypt and living on to sign new agreements aimed at curbing migration. the e. u is paying to keep the challenge of migration at bay. after years of wrangling, european leaders are now in agreement, their closing ranks and sealing themselves off from the outside world. the previous culture of welcoming is no more. the and indonesia police brutality is on the rise. migrants from the 30 kilometer camp recently sent us this footage. the canadian police came in and destroyed everything . but the determination to live there, european dream remains unbroken. under present show i, i believe so much. i believe in my dream. i know my doom as well that i was to become what it would become. we are not asked the girl so that i don't no

11:45 pm
make up your own mind dw may feel minds. i'm just gonna throw this on. what do you think struck a that's quite a favorite piece, talking to an a i chip on the stage for me. it's more it more like talking to an actual human being. but what does this really mean for us as use us? how well do they really understand us, and what are the risks that we face? jeff, thoughts are becoming increasingly lifelike. take trip to peachy for oh, by open a i. it can visually identify surroundings and recognize our emotions. the book even has some understanding of comedies. what do you call. busy a giant pile of kittens, i don't know what am yeah, i'm saying.
