it goes back to the collapse of muslim rule in spain at the end of the fifteenth century which for some gives the issue a religious dimension. and . here's a. little . north.

a little bit of the. it's a scene of first communion or often played out in mainland spain the priest officiating doesn't see any divisions between saints as christians and muslims. no no you have to call it out here you're going to get a lot of your name so we proceed to. the door sort of global you know manage it all all that here and there have been a lot of it i think into only that it some we got of the olive. oil and i could you give a more of that in august you know this i will add nothing that i have not been to the moment about my say that you know what i feel what happened to put out the last you know all that is what i mean you know my mind could about you know the fat intake of a low income which i know the money that you know i you want to buy you a low noise but i still favor vessel faith but of course i know the money that i have to tell you that would be better than.

the city of souter is spain's footprint on the very northern tip of africa and staff are going to migrants. the shortest way into europe. to stop them europe was build a double barbed wire fence it's a modern version of the great wall of china and more recently the berwyn wall while those walls relied on height and guards to keep outsiders of but a spanish fans bristles with electronic surveillance gear but the purpose is the same. offense it replaced much lower was too easily breached with the result bad for the truly desperate souter became a stepping stone into continental europe. underworld spirit. of.

smart i wonder. if. you know and so over. the. division it is. those who still charms their luck wait in the surrounding forests but if court they are transported back to their countries of origin by the moroccan north qualities. now though there are growing demands for a more constructive approach to bring about a lasting solution to the problem of illegal immigration. sort of for a time and then even to drop by say for. a few because i don't think i forgot to look by so that he said i go there so i see a gun i go ahead but i mean that i feel that and that is this i will you know this

appropriate bicycle nothing i'm going to get out of a book on the good thing and so were you surprised. by them. at the obion with a well let's examine that fear if it is. placed on me in there because i want to let the other time in. the home but i'm using. them. to see those programs in action when asked across the mainland spade on the other side of the mediterranean. this is the bay of cod these. are on the twenty fifth of october two thousand and three local man was shocked by the sight of thirty five male corpses washed ashore

close to his home twelve of them were from the same rock with the need. to see. the corpse of young people. here in the fistfight. for four hours it was a very. scary experience. when we found that people we take our cars with our own money and we went to morrow we were to find their people. in bed. because benny morale is up plays with our high trade or any ration and we decided to go there i'm displaying there reeks of illegal immigration of british him tame data

he took courses bericht. again i mean for them rafael kiddo's who is a schoolteacher decided to take action he founded a charity called solly that is that director to ensure that the little moroccan village of. does not lose any more of its husbands and some he's constantly encouraging others to join him. easily that you have your town we all are volunteers we're spending our own money we put our cars our own work we don't have theft of. money public money because we've seen that people have to shamed inside when people are chained inside it is

a wall to change their world. and the change that rafael and his charity is aiming to bring about is in the minds of hansal of residents who still view migration as their only salvation paying little attention to the well known roles. even know when. the crows. router it was very dangerous and that many of their friends and parents were dead because of that sound of their young people from hans salah who wanted to cross browser here and. what makes the approach of this charity so innovative is not its idealism but its pragmatism in linking the economic interests of spanish citizens with the well being of those in a remote iraq and village. it costs taxpayers in spain two thousand euros

every time that a drowned man is sent back in a coffin so far better to spend that in developing the migrants place. of origin and adoption of sorts but others can emulate we wanted to make for on their home soil or a good place to live because it these are good places to live. we have started building a small clinic or classroom for the children. we have started to given them. in order to avoid data little children working there in the country because we are there to pick up this birth turned up a little she and remain in the school where again because if they are working in the country there is a possibility that if they try to any rate because they don't get enough money

to leave but if they are sturdy they have a possibility of developing. this imaginative grassroots initiative is that olds with the fencing and policing approach favored by the european governments of fortress europe. souter's barbed wire barrier may for a time at least stop the flow. but it does nothing to remove the injury underlying causes. to different eras. are as something artificial. and at the end it is not go into a proper people it is not going to stop or even ration it is can control illegal immigration but it is not going to a stop. in order to stop illegal immigration we have to shane our

mentality. the mentality have to change to in africa because they. not freakout they have to understand they have to work protecting their old me interest in developing their own economies. is a radical shift in our thinking realize ation the wars. sooner or later the difference in sofia is going down sooner or later because france fancies a top layer of people. from many years i go up to no people they may break. easy going to hop in their time in the future so france is. not to the. east to all

prim i was hot because their main trains its places inside our hog. the film you've just seen was first broadcast almost ten years ago when the number of migrant deaths from spanish territory had reached its peak. the world's media only started to take notice when the drowned audience of african migrants began washing ashore on the tourist beaches of the spanish canary islands. spain's response was to stiffen its border security but despite all the effort and expense spent on beefing up its buddhas migration is on the rise. migrants hoping to be among the lucky few to reach the other side have often rushed the border

fence shown in the c.c.t.v. footage released by the spanish government sometimes the consequence is a tragic. on one occasion and say uta and twenty foot team at least fourteen african migrants drowned when trying to swim their way from morocco to spain. these pictures show spanish buddha gods firing rubber bullets and smoke canisters to would survivors as they swim across the border. those who made it alive were deported back to morocco on the other side of the. a spokesperson from the spanish ministry of interior said that shots fired one aimed at the swimmers and claimed their response was proportional. today this is no longer an issue isolated in a faraway spanish and played. the number of people hoping to reach europe has swelled by huge wave of refugees from was in syria iraq and afghanistan.

thousands of people attesting europe's buddhas by the sea from libya to italy and from taki to greece and then continuing overland to europe's more affluent countries. these scenes of from hungary as refugees attempt to travel west we are humans where the humanity where the world to see us look everyone here they are fatherless we don't need anything just a troll just. a lot of the you. just do it like on top of the world is not a good joke. in response europe is building moves today there are five existing fences across the continent with at least one of the. six either in construction scheduled.

most of these rules separate e.u. nations from countries outside the union but some fences a planned between member states a move that's against the spirit of the e.u. according to the e.u.'s foreign policy chief europe was built on the idea that walls have to fall down europe was built on the idea of coming together. more refugees and migrants travelling around the wards within africa within asia than those that are coming to europe this to say we have as europeans to put things in perspective and to realize that it is not only a european phenomenon it is a global move. starting from wars conflicts poverty natural disasters climate change it is the world that is going in that direction people move out of desperation out of hope and we have to learn how to manage this. without

a political solution in sight migrants and refugees remain undeterred taking on increasingly dangerous routes into europe. when we where in the border in the sea i was standing on one leg and raising my son on the other while in order to get him up from the water because the water was still here . june nineteenth sixty seventy six days that redrew the map of the middle east is record of victory of the me and it wall of the goodness of the of the history of islam fifty years later al-jazeera expose the events leading to the war and its consequences which is still felt today we tried everything we went to the united nations tried to make you contact through different countries and it was clear that all this was just all of the war in june at this time and hundred forty
