one of the islands oen the front line. al jazeera is there. >> it is proving to be a false one. every day they come, sometimes in their hundreds refugees and those seeking work. the waters from turkey, that's the turkish town, in the distance. and every day, they wait. they allows them to stay on move on to other parts of europe. >> other people have been waiting much longer. >> much longer. 23 days. >> because i think my future
2:03 pm
is there. >> we have some survival keys. >> you feel the local authorities are in control? >> basically they are tired. you can't control something that is 100 people, and it is something that is 1,000. >> in order no? >> it is tough. it's tough for them. >> things have been worse, in recent days. they have lured in the town providing temporary accommodations sanitation, and documentation. to 2 1/2 thousand people. >> they are exclusively syrians onboard who having fled their country. and certainly the ferry's presence has eased the crisis, but for many other nationalities who aren't allowed onboard like these people in the beach of central town, very little has changed.
2:04 pm
we are angry and tired. >> you think that is specifically because you are africans? >> that might see, but what i see. and the lack of our conflict, you yourself should know it is because we are africans. on the shore, they may be safe, but even here, floating on a holiday they are far from secure. al jazeera on the island. a boat doctors without boarders looking for people in distress in the sea. sent us this report. >> we have been out in the southern mediterranean for four days now. looking for migrants in disstress, let me show you what would happen the this boat was able to rescue.
2:05 pm
you can see here, doctors without borders making preparations. there's perhaps room for a few hundred at the back of our boat. and they could be transported across to southern italy. not in any grate comfort it has to be said, but under much safer conditions that they would otherwise have been attempting to cross this great sea. >> now, we haven't seen any migrant boats over the last four days and that probably has a lo t to do with the fact that the weather has been fairly choppy, the waves have been quite big, and these would be very very dangerous conditions. for migrants to try to make this crossing. >> numbers german newspaper siting government sources reports there will be about 750,000 applications this year.
2:06 pm
that's well up from the previous estimate which put the number around 450,000. it is more than doubled the number that germany took in last year. last year sweden was second, taking 81,000, and while italy and france took in 64,000. he works with the international organization, ask you about the wording because sometimes the terminology can get loaded. are thiemia grans refugees what is your -- what do you think the term out to be? >> they are all asylum seekers. when they land they know that's one way to get protection, and then they will be registered and the claims assessed. and some will be successful, and those who are successful will in turn become deemed refugees.

2:08 pm
most. >> in that respect, is it your review that germany and sweden are doing more than they need to? and they are sort of showing the others up? or do you think there is a big difference in the way that people can bring in numbers? or asylum seekers? >> i mean germany and sweden are doing far more than others but italy and greece are playing a huge role as well. i think the big challenge is to turn it to aless toxic one. it is a way of coping with adversity, we have modern nations reporters but we must allow for the ebb and flow of people that are threing adversity. people flowing war or nieses harsh places and incredible problems. just as people fled flatsy germany, people are threing the isis policies. so we with have to open our hearts and minds and there's no point in just building higher walls but we also have to find ways to deal with economic migrants.
2:09 pm
in reasonable ways. it is not really a sensible way to manage things rah there any practical measures that may help in that issue? >> there's a lot of very eminent measures. the international organization for migration is talking to the european union. the point is that the politics seem to block it. because the media, dare i say, and politician seeking re-election, head to run for the gutter rather than the higher ground. it is easy, it is the oldest trick in the book. to blame the last person in the door,s then't sensible, because it leads to voluntary politics. they enrich our countries. >> okay, thank you indeed.

2:15 pm
share power, cabinet positions will be given to people from the pro kurdish h.d.p. from the secular republican people's party, and another right wing party. but the others will so we might end up with this rather fractious caretaker government as turkey runs up to elections in mid to end november. they didn't want to have to share power, but it looks like there's no new option. still to come, clowning around, how circus schools offers relief to ethiopia's poorest children. >> on the outsecureds of kabul, where miners are making a 30-year-old field safe, exploded ordinance is one reason why afghanistan is the most dangerous place in the world to be a humanitarian worker. >> in sport, we hear from the two athletic legends bidding
