pictures coming off rescues at night and screaming at people to sit down and not panic because if they get up they will fall over and of course many of these people do not swim and are not given life jackets and you can see how dangerous and desperate the people are in some of the pictures from saturday's rescue. it's pitch black, imagine what it feels like crammed in a wooden boat with no engine floating helplessly on the mediterranean sea and the police who patrol the waters is a huge relief and this boat has women and children on board. >> get down. >> reporter: rescuers try to maintain calm if the boat is unbalanced they can all fall in the water. they have been thrown life jackets, most migrants who brave this journey cross with nothing but hope. this is one of 17 rescue operations carried out on saturday alone. this is another one, 397 people including young children crammed on to another engineless boat at

you cannot see but the seas are flat and what that means is thousands and thousands are setting off across the coast to make it here and it's extremely concerning how to manage that. there is pressure for eu to do more when they have that emergency meeting under two weeks ago in response to 800 migrants dying in one day alone and one incident they pledged 10 point plan and a lot of talk but when it comes down to translating an effect on the ground it has not done much. one of the agencies amnesty international responded with a spokesperson and said it is like not a life-saving operation because they are not out helping and extremely concerning at a time when we had word from the head of the operation the border of european border operation that runs triton and almost a million people could be waiting on the other side of the mediterranean to come here and it's something that needs to be taken seriously and a humanitarian crisis and people are absolutely desperate and

series of events in resent weeks in which the whole issue of racism in israel was highlighted with beating an ethiopian you have in israeli uniform by israeli police which went viral on social media here. now, in the course of the afternoon the demonstration began outside the towers in tel aviv. it was a peaceful demonstration. the police stayed back. there was no sign of any riot gear. the demonstration went on for a number of hours. then in the evening what has happened is that groups of the demonstrators gathered in the square in tel aviv and the number of kilometers away from the original venue. there was then violent clashes which broke out for the first time with a small group of demonstrators and police fired

tear gas and rode horses in the group and appears to be gaining traction as you can see, more people gathering in the vicinity of the square a lot of anger, a lot of frustration and a lot of words being spoken out there and a number of police officers have been injured. we do not know at this stage how many of the demonstrators have been injured but clearly in the course of a few hours the riot control of the israeli police change from allowing a demonstration to happen to stopping it forcibly. >> okay mike hanna thank you very much indeed for the update from jerusalem and nepal where people have yet to receive outside help as they struggle with landslides and and launchs and over 7200 died and 14200 injured and survivors are still

member there and it's faster than the government channel. that is why we are distributing to them. >> reporter: the association has sought help from business groups in other countries but have actually turned down offers of money. >> we don't need money. we need the goods because money we can't buy things and can't buy tent so better to give goods so we can distribute to the needy people. >> reporter: most medicines supplied are for cholora, jaundice and water purification and they will follow government and international organization and deliver supplies directly. in south africa government workers have broken up a camp with hundreds of asylum seekers who fled from the democratic republic of congo and burundi and we were sent this update of what was left of the camp. >> reporter: there were about 400 people left on the site after authorities pulled the

camp down yesterday. they removed the fences and cutoff the water and so these people have very very little access to water, they are relying on the findness so they say of neighbors and very little food here and a lot of children in the camp and still refusing to pick up the government's offer and be moved to this other camp chatsworth here in durbin and the government wants all the people in one place so it can start what it describes as its reintegration campaign. the people here are saying that they are very distrustful of the government and don't want to be reintegrated into society here, into south africa society. they are from predominately drc, democratic republic of congo and burundi. conflict zones. they say they fled the conflict in their own country and were exposed to violence in the country they came for refuge. >> translator: south africa and promise of a refugee and we feel

at home and it's a refugee and feel at home but at the end of the day yesterday they shut us water and shut us toilets and there is no food and stop the red cross to give us food so we do not have here. right now they came with the food and didn't give them access to coming so right now here we don't have food for the kids. and some kids are sick here. >> reporter: as we heard there there are real concerns developing here as to the amount of water and food that these people have access to. and increasing fears about potential medical treatment needed for some of the people falling sick here and we spoke to an aide agency when we arrived and don't want to be named and do not want to go on camera but say authorities stopped them from bringing their vehicles on to this site and vehicles that contain medical treatment, food water, handouts. and they told this aid agency if they did want to supply that sort of stuff then they would have to park their vehicles behind a fence around 500 meters

in that direction and if the people want to collect stuff they will have to go and walk there themselves. and these people are adamant and not interested in reintegration and not interested in going back to their home countries because they are scared of the conflicts there. they basically just want to leave south africa. it's five days until britain vote in one of the country's tightest election in years, the right wing anti-immigration party has been gaining ground in resent years and the eastern towns of gnassinbe and senate and lawrence lee reports. >> reporter: gnassinbe and the world will fill the metropolitan elite with gloom, the former fish market looks like the film set for after the zombie invasion and it used to be buzzing with trade. >> like you see all the buildings are empty now and it's a waste of the buildings now and it's like a ghost town. >> reporter: what it has is limits of fish they can catch

imposed by the eu and so the anti-eu, uk independence party or eukip regards this place as a prime target. >> they are talking about regeneration and there might be an old crumb but nothing you could talk about to actually improve employment prospects in great gnassinbe. >> reporter: that is a powerful mess and here, this used to be the main shopping street and now row upon row of shut up shops speak of the once major town on its knees and westminster government offered no replacement for the fish industry and gnassinbe doesn't have an electric rail way to connect it with the rest of the country. clearly it's not very difficult for a party like echl ukip to blame the eu for what happened to gnassinbe but the fuel and the real anger that eukip represents particularly in england is much deeper than this, it's that there are literally dozens of towns that

are just like this they are not just in a different country like one inhabited by the metropolitan elite in london it's like a different planet. further down there are sea side towns where the future will be decided and the leader is contesting this place, if he loses his party will fall apart. but the golf club the conservative party candidate is taking soundings from local businesses who by and large want to stay in the eu. the conservatives who had accepted the logic and immigration causes unemployment now suggests they got it wrong. >> they missed the immigration targets so you were wrong? >> i think eukip is wrong and a difference in mindset and seems to be british take is that size and it can be no bigger. i see the difference is britain's cake can be that much bigger as we just discussed there, we have absorbed a lot more people in and we still have

very low rates of unemployment. >> reporter: the argument it can resurrect places like this abandon by london elite and the labor candidate here says that is a load of hypocrisy. >> running locally and counselors are former counselors and some of the people huge problems over the recent years and he has been the mvp for 16 years and hasn't got any notable achievements for the area. >> reporter: facts in london where there are the most immigrants the economy is booming and eukip cannot make end rows and they prosper in towns abandon by governments and the party that looked over england a bit more perhaps they would not have eukip to worry about now lawrence lee, al jazeera, eastern england. and now the u.s. city of baltimore lifted the city wide curfew in place since the death of a man injured in police custody and al jazeera john
