where are they from? >> well they are mainly from saraha and africa and a thousand of the migrants who were rescued by the coast guard off the coast guard of libya in the last couple of days were taken and the capacity of this reception center is only 500 so it's twice the capacity and joined by one of them is abdullah who comes from dafar and took him a month to get here and tell us about your journey here. >> thank you and i am proud for you because you are going to show our suffering all over the world and really appreciate and yes. >> reporter: you were in tripoli you told me for a month and you left on the boat what happened then? >> first of all from sudan i have this for two days and enter inside libya and as soon as i

enter inside libya there is a town there and inside the town there is a prison and they bring you inside the jail and in prison it's not like the prison of others it's not a good time. >> reporter: you were in prison in libya waiting to get on the boat, then you got on the boat. was that a dangerous journey to get here? >> really danger because the boat it is for 100 people and they will put us 400 people. inside the sea, very very dangerous. the boat is going like that. it is odd. it is real odd. it is trapped in the sea five or six times.

it's not good really. it's really bad and sometimes it is old and not new and if it's new doesn't matter but it's not new and they get it from there and it's just like three or four hours but it is really two days and more dangerous and the sea is worst to everybody and me myself and even like this will happen also. >> reporter: you are here at the center and how have you been treated here? >> when i arrive i understand here there is justice and equality because this is saving me from the boat and they brought me on another boat and really there i understand that i'm alive. i don't see how you would be alive also so they gave me food and water and brought me out here on a camp right now and i'm so happy because they brought me food and i eat and i drink and got me a good bet so really i'm

so happy because it's a lot different and especially the people they are very kind people they are not going to tell us any unkind word and they tell us unkind word because there is fighting between us and they that is it. >> reporter: abdullah is among a thousand migrants at the center in lampaduso and going to mainland because this reception center was still closed when they arrived here because it was undergoing major restoration but according and looking at the last couple of days they may not be the last migrants who arrive on the island of lampadusa. >> let's take a closer look at numbers that are arriving and authorities estimate 6500 migrants have been rescued since the beginning of the year that represents 60% increase in comparison to the same period last year at least 300 migrants

have perished trying to make the crossing during the same period. now, earlier on your guest was talking about the dangerous journey to it and there are also reports that the italian coast guard were confronted by armed men and highlights the dangerous question in the mediterranean sea. >> certainly, even escalation of violence that italian authorities are concerned of it has never happened before that armed men armed were threatening them while they were rescuing migrants and they were not on the particular boat but coast guard has confirmed on one of 12 boats rescued in libya the last couple of days they were flet -- threatened and said get the migrants and leave the boat behind and there are new tactics for them to keep the boat so

they want to increase the frequency of the crossings of the migrants and they said as many as 200,000 migrants are already in libya already to try to attempt the periless journey there and in the whole of 2014 170,000 arrive here and that will be a massive record. >> reporter: shocking numbers there and thank you very much speaking to us from lampadusa. let's go back now to our top story and the air strikes in libya, this of course comes on the fourth anniversary of the fall of former dictator moammar gadhafi and we have the former british ambassador to libya and joins us from oxford and so many things happened in libya the last four years and let's focus on the fight with i.s.i.l. and egypt is cooperating with tabrook of air strikes against i.s.i.l. targets but tripoli

government says the strikes have killed civilians, how do you see this playing out in and among libya's own political discord? >> well in a sense it's a side show. it's not the key problem in libya because although these islamic militants who aligned themselves with the so called islamic state and iraq in syria and although there are problems or the main problem is the failure of a much broader selection of libya sanctions to agree to work together. what happened is that many many factions the malitia are sent to number hundreds have grouped together more or less into two opposing coalition one of which supports the government and claims to be in charge in tripoli and the other the government which claims to be in charge in tabrook and as i say

the latest outburst is a bit of a side show. you have to ask yourself what was the motive of the people who committed this terrible atrocity the day before yesterday, the murder of these egyptian christians and surely one of the motives is to provoke a strong reaction, a violent reaction from the west and therefore to derail the political process inside libya. >> can i then just ask you in the last four years and after the down fall of moammar gadhafi would you agree the international community has, in fact failed libya? >> i think that the -- i was very doubtful about military intervention in libya in support of the revolution in 2011 but eventually i was convinced it was necessary because alternative would have been to allow the gadhafi regime to commit genocide on its people and murder large numbers of

people in benghazi and glad we withdrew and by the end of 2011 it was clear the international military invention was over and it's up to the libyans to sort out affairs and they had a plan which led to the formation of various institutions transitional on national council followed by general national council and followed by house of representatives and held two general elections and both recorded as relatively clean and decent elections but the problem is they have not been able to work together in the end to establish a government and go on to a proper parliament and so on. >> in and among all this of course we now have this fight against i.s.i.l. and as you say this is a side show but at the same time the international community france and italy in particular are indicating they may be willing to join in the fight against i.s.i.l. in libya, if we are about to see foreign troops deployed to libya will

this actually help to sort out libya in the end? >> well i think that is unlikely and personally i don't think it's likely to help no. you mentioned france and italy but the security council immediately reacted to the killing of these people by calling for strengthening the political process which is being led by the u.n. represent tiff who has been bringing together the various factions in libya for political discussions about the future of libya. that is the process we ought to be supporting and that is the process the security council said we are supporting. >> thank you so much for your insight, former british ambassador to libya. >> thank you. now european finance ministers are meeting in brussels and talking about greece's financial bail out for a second day, the creditors have an ultimatum saying greece must extend the current bailout

program and the new greek finance minister says the plan is obabsurd but he is confident a solution will be found. >> in europe we behave in such a way to create a solution honorable solution out of initial disagreement but now you allow me to go to investment bank meeting because i'm excited about this investment is the main game and what they will talk about the forces and blowing the winds everywhere in the continent and they have monitoring stability and i believe european investment bank is excellent for growth and investment in recovery in europe. >> john has more. >> reporter: talks between greece and creditors appear to have reached a dead end after the group broke down wednesday with greece accusing its creditors of a bait and switch strategies and earlier finance

minister said that he had been presented with a draft text a communication that he was willing to sign and spoke of an extension of the loan agreements with opening up a possibility of discussion over the terms of those loans which is exactly what greece has asked for and wants to unbundle the term of austerity measures and government spending cuts and reforms and deregulation that creditors have asked for for the last four years and some of which greece has done and much of which still remains to be done. greece wanted a four-month period to renegotiate that package of terms, however, he said just before the euro group meeting began this draft communication was withdrawn by the euro president and it was replaced by a separate communication which demanded that greece sign on to the memorandum of policies and

reforms as they have been agreed to in the past with no grace period for negotiation only once the greek government had signed on to an extension of those terms beyond the end of february when the agreement and the financing program that greece is in come to an end, only then would the euro group sit down and enter negotiations on what to change within that program. we are seeing more snow and bone-chilling cold in the united states record-breaking cold in the eastern states and a fresh dumping of snow in central states caused havoc and multiple road accidents and thousands of flight cancellations and many schools and offices have been closed down including federal offices in washington. that storm system is also moving south, states in southern u.s. have been hit with freezing rain snow and sleet, making for very dangerous roads and knocking out power to thousands of homes and forecasters warning

of more heavy snow? arkansas missouri and tennessee. let's take a check on the weather now with richard and this snow and cold is just not letting up at all. >> no it's not, it's a different system which is hitting the southern states than what hit boston but it doesn't make a great deal of difference. you can see running the sequence the cloud pushing across some of the southern states and up in boston where the snow is gone thankfully over 48 hours or so and since the start on monday the temperature didn't get above minus five and it has been minus 90 and looking at observation and temperature minus 12 and wind chill minus 17 and you may think where has the warm air gone and there is warm air and in florida it's not too bad at the moment a temperature of 18 degrees in jacksonville and yet just what 500 kilometers to the northwest in atlanta, georgia the temperature is 2 degrees so when you have a contrast in

temperature you then run the potential for a combination of rain sleet, snow and mostly freezing rain. these shots are from mississippi with awful condition and such treacherous weather and look at more eastern and western side of the country you can see it's very much a black and white case of warm in the west but cold in the east. it looks as though the carolinas have freezing rain and snow showers for the east and dry weather follows in behind it. >> richard, thank you. plenty more to come on the news hour including she fought off her attacker and paid the ultimate price and one death of a woman in turkey is shining a spotlight on women's rights and breaking the bank and how they stole a billion from banks around the world. breaking another record we will tell you why this cyclist lance

those heavy weapons has not been met and therefore neither side was willing to blink effectively and not going to back down unilaterally before the other side actually commenced doing that and along large stretches of the front line between the two sides the ceasefire has held rather well but there is one real issue and that is the critically important and strategically important northeast to where i'm standing now which has been fought over bitterly and right up to and indeed past the ceasefire deadline itself. we are hearing reports today that it's now descended into street fighting effectively over warfare and they can do with it if they want to coordinate efforts along the large front line but ukrainians say under the minsk two agreement it was
