previous lives can not be the black people africa. my grants are using them as a big nothing tune them and do it or do that, does that? do 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 has president case i had, 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,
9:36 am
at least not in public. she only talks about the crimes of a legal traffickers. we need to correct on criminal networks of smart, less than traffic because they are exploiting schumann despair. the e u has entered into partnership with the controversial president, was a very different take on human rights or shortly after funder lion's visit. these images went round the world. the tunisian security forces had again abducted migrants and taking them to the libyan border. there they abandoned them in the desert in scorching heat without water. denisia confirmed the authorities were behind these actions. the you simply looked at the other way. european values abandoned in the desert, along with the migrants. one person who knows all about migration deals as girls canals. he was the architect if he used deal with turkey and is generally in favor
9:37 am
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. mission ethic, davis, but above all of the main cost will be the violation of human rights. and i still going to advise the 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
9:38 am
turn off the tap, how they just help themselves any way or hello, how are we? i'm going in. the asylum seekers also use the house to charge their cellphones as there is 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 to barricade the door with a chat. we're afraid. so we're in over at the left and they come at night to grab the cell phone and the landlord, i knew were afraid to go to bed. my husband, my 2 daughters and i was all the time going off to praying not for bodies on the asylum seekers that leave tanisha by boat are usually headed for the italian island of long produce on the journey to the
9:39 am
e. u is about 190 kilometers. if the migrants are lucky, they will be picked up by the a tele and coast guard, or they arrive directly and not produce us. the crossing though is highly risky, with up to 50 people crammed on to small metal boats. there are gaps into each has border policing. and that has repercussions for the italian islands. migrants are still getting through by september 2023 non produce it was once again overwhelmed. local residents had had enough. then we have a message for the european community. we can't do this anymore. e u 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 use refugee crisis.
9:40 am
so it only now wants to solve its refugee problem in neighboring albania. we've come to water 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. pre 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 ups migration system. the she loves her garden and keeps a few chickens. theater is a quiet play and she says many young people in rural areas, leave albania,
9:41 am
for jobs abroad. by 8 o'clock in cust of this village used to be a city near the people did everything they could to come here. the now we hardly have a doctor know, pharmacy, and we have to go to the city to get medication on yet. you cannot nicholas cannot or used to be doctors, nurses, and then pharmacies here physically. oh gosh, i did this. this deserted area on the european union's doorstep is now the focus of 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 are asylum. applications are being processed. the silver noble enough that's good. it's not let them come and stay as long as they need to help or
9:42 am
we are in our homes are supposed to be and those poor people will not harm us down, 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 tally and premier maloney. he used to be an artist. his pictures decorate the walls. he shows us a sculpture of abraham lincoln reading, a book of donald trump. tweets, is he an artist working on the site as a politician or vice versa? the lines blur when talking about europe. now if you think about here of today, i think uh, a beautiful picture covered with a very, with a gray with a gray cloth. so we need some faithful cisco and look to the picture. he signs the migration deal with georgia, maloney in november 2023. under the agreement,
9:43 am
italy will send it to asylum seekers. 12, danielle. their cases will be decided in a fast track procedure, but still, according to the law, those who are not granted asylum will be deported back to their country of origin. other e u countries are also keen town source, their migration processing. but at the moment, rama only wants to help italy. italian is startled managers by over such as i say that we are separated by c n by manufacturing history. but we are practically living in the same area in the government district in t rhonda. the european flag flies alongside the albanian flag of 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
9:44 am
still suffers from a difficult economic situation. and corruption remains a problem. as a leader, rama is controversial migration deal like this helps to polish up both his own image and about of his country. we've gone through if for any recognition and for us is enough to not be to not be seen in your tv. for example, like we were seeing not very long ago, 10 years, 20 years ago, a country, a gloomy country, full of bat, criminology, corruption and all this is not that we don't have a problem subject maybe. now it is not do we don't have problems of corruption fire from that, but we were not then nevertheless it's clear
9:45 am
that asylum seekers who end up in albino 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 in the bank for every state govern 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 a safe 3rd country in progress nobody question of 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 shades of european union politicians have been struggling with migration
9:46 am
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 yoga yawns and is a central political figure and 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 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 does it build the fortress europe, that we are 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 union. we have to show our citizens that we can manage
9:47 am
migration according to our values in, in an orderly way. in april 2024, the european parliament held a 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. watson was hoping to achieve her greatest political triumph to date a passionate 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 take the years until we are and to find that again. if ever. meanwhile, protestors urged lawmakers to vote against the pact. critics here that the deal
9:48 am
will effectively restrict the right 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. you once and was visibly moved. the message was clear, europe was getting tough on migration. and this is the main person who oversee the practical implementation of this new tougher line funds lightens from the netherlands, is the executive director of the european border protection agency. front tech's. 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 transpired about what we do and how we do it. because from texas image has taken
9:49 am
a massive hit in recent years. we confront him over his predecessors, legacy and front techs 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 subject to public scrutiny ever since. see, here are um offices, i think, as an entity showing unprofessional behavior. and that, of course, is, is to us directly to us, migrants using for me does no doubt that does not need a professional, nor an abiding fundamental right so, so this is behavior i would not accept how can you make sure that this doesn't happen to kind of make sure because we're not there of course, because that means that you should be present everywhere. we can. i think,
9:50 am
i think that's a good that our standards are high. that's be, i 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 free guidelines or next destination is the island of less focus on the use south eastern border. the refugee crisis escalated here in 2015 with up to 60 votes 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 items once again. but despite their presence asylum seekers are still arriving in motor boats from turkey. the turkish mainland is just 10 kilometers
9:51 am
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 to familiarize and to save lives. so that's, that's the, the right order of and our job isn't right now. we don't have the mandates to do for our races and risk. but of course, this ship rescue is lights already. another dangerous border lies in the western 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 and bosnia. it's actually the main overland route to europe . but many who take it, pay with their lives. knowledge it is from afghanistan is rather java drowned and the river here as members of the has our ethnic minority.
9:52 am
they were being persecuted by the taliban. so the flood afghanistan together, the traveling thousands of kilometers on foot, sometimes with the help of traffic hers via ron turkey, greece, albania, and montenegro to boss me on their journey. took them for years now, jim and his brother wanted to reach germany. in december 2022, so close to their destination. the journey ended in tragedy. the further we prepared a boat and my brother and one of our friends were sitting in the boat where they made an attempt to cross the border. and that's why it was night, 930 p. m. and 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,
9:53 am
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. now jim 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 yet only 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 survive the journey. now continue on their journey heading for their ultimate goal, germany. but here to there's a new wind blowing and the
9:54 am
european union has taken note. the culture of welcoming microns championed by former chancellor uncle americal is history. her successor or life schultz has pledge to deport illegal migrants on a large scale in 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 somewhat say overwhelmed. it just like all across europe, there's a fear here of a shift 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 fear and to put fear
