monitors listen tell me tell me what you're up to here. or. we have multiple sources of. information and all says whether it's important to us. back to. back to our headquarters the. president aren't actually eating until tuesday so in the meantime there are some preparatory meetings going on in that hotel. there's very very little information coming out of these meetings and very little sleep. all of the media surround the hotel outside before and after the absolute pleas for the officials trying to get any. so when asked about social media is about the black bag which we were given by the singapore. media center
12:01 am
a truck came singapore. trump. water eight very nice. kid. from whitney who is there we've also got the team up and running with their latest updates page you know this one's going to move quickly remember the summit begins at one hundred g.m.t. on tuesday so if you're on the go and want to keep up with events bookmark this page and then keep refreshing it to trump kim singapore some of all the latest updates it's at al-jazeera dot com it a woman most certainly baby sitting pretty high in the what's trending section as well one more thing i want to quickly show you before we move on and it's just an illustration of how things are changing regardless of what happens in the summit look at this it was tweeted by the singapore and foreign minister around an hour ago when would you ever thought you would see the north korean leader kim taking time for a quick selfie the night before he meets the u.s. president to do. it's quite something isn't it you've already been getting in touch
12:02 am
with us with your comments contacted house for you on screen right now i've had a couple of messages which i just want to read out i did like this one deborah on twitter who said pompei a statement doesn't sound like a negotiation to me it sounds more like a demand good luck with that attitude and that is the thing this complete verifiable irreversible denuclearization is all the us will will will settle for also coming here on facebook the singapore summit won't be resolved so easily because both u.s. and north korean leaders are unpredictable and that is very true as well the hash tag is a genuine good twitter facebook whatsapp telegram all up and running if you want to get in touch with us a lot of comments they'll try to get through to some of them a little bit later on right now we'll move on though more than six hundred migrants stuck on a rescue ship in the mediterranean sea waiting to darken either italy or malta will now find themselves on their way to spain. this was the scene on board the aquarius as the diplomatic standoff between italy
12:03 am
and multi continued italy's interior minister tweeted he was closing the ports while malta as prime minister accused him of violating international norms the e.u. asked the two countries to take care of the migrants as a humanitarian gesture but in the end it was spain's prime minister who stepped in to take the equerries one hundred twenty three unaccompanied minors on board seven pregnant women as well. we can the kids we are well prepared and we have food and water enough to give these people to to see things but yeah this is not what we knew we should because we are so overcrowded people are sleeping in windsor in the day he says it is not comfortable at all. week tara exhausted so or we wish they could have her. comfortable place. if a place to go to to rest this was how old was prime minister reacted on twitter
12:04 am
thanks spain's prime minister for taking the aquarius off to italy broke international rules and caused a standoff malta sending fresh supplies to the vessel and this is the important thing future proofing i guess we have to sit down and discuss how to prevent this from happening again this is a european issue. something else on this you remember on monday i tried and this was somewhat unsuccessful to show you some flight paths we used flight right at twenty four look at the sea bound equivalent today it's called marine traffic dot com it does seem to be working this is interesting just the back and forth which the equerry says had to do whilst it was waiting for either malta or italy to decide now i'm going to zoom out here it does have a little bit of delay on it but you do get to see the path that the ship was taking very close to malta there but then also looking north towards sicily as well and now it appears they will be hitting off to spain instead ok well let's talk to judith sunderland she is the associate director for europe with human rights watch initially joining us via skype from rome we thank you for that ok so the
12:05 am
immediate good news is that spain has stepped in and something will be done here. the problem i guess and i alluded to this a moment ago is that this can happen again tomorrow or the next day and there is nothing in place is there. well i mean first of all spain should of course begin credit when they did for a gesture of exchange humanity and responsibility which contrasts very strongly with the disgraceful behavior of both italy and malta and italy has been disembarking hundreds of thousands of people over the past three four years whereas malta has really gotten out by doing almost nothing to respond to the crisis in the mediterranean and the horrific situation from migrants and refugees in libya so it's clear that what we need going forward what we've needed for quite a long time now is a regional agreement so that disembarkation is predict all of their certainty for
12:06 am
everybody involved and there are no these kind of eating people stranded at sea doesn't happen again i hate to be a pessimist about it truth but there is no regional agreements in europe there is a clear divide between the way nor the mill europe and southern europe deals with things the burden which the south has to take i mean finding that sort of agreement what's it going to take. well it's certainly going to take a lot more political will and we've seen over the past number of years i would hope that the elections the recent elections in italy in the election very anti you anti immigrant leaning towards explicit big parties in italy can serve as a wake up call to the rest of europe or at least a coalition of the willing to recognize that leaving italy to shoulder almost alone really a disproportionate share of responsibility for what is. a crisis affects all of
12:07 am
europe and should engage all of europe. was a terrible mistake and has created far more problems than it has solved and it's led to a somebody closing its borders basically that's what the leadership has decided there which obviously that doesn't help either i guess i just wonder again about the sort of extreme actions which can be taken on the other end and how to wring the more into the middle. well what i'm certainly hoping is that this experience will. send a message to other countries and encourage them to first of all support italy more but second of the step up in the way that spain has i don't want to digress here first second to say that as a ten minutes ago the aquarius had not actually received any official instructions to head or spain so it's still a strange situation they are still on instructions to standby in
12:08 am
waters almost between italy and and malta. but basically what we need to see are more countries who are willing to disembark people directly in their countries first of all who are willing to consider anything and ways of sharing responsibility so that those disembarked and multi-core italy can be very quickly transferred to other countries within the e.u. and processed there and again maybe it has to be a coalition of the willing but somebody has to step up your discipline from human rights watch a pleasure talking to you thank you thank you sir unwanted at sea and invariably unwanted on land as well this interactive piece that al-jazeera dot com takes you on the refugee trail in europe in these sub headlines which you see all the way through really detail the story board is sealed says one there. for they don't know
12:09 am
what's the entry point for the global south but other things like a victim and rob that these are all links all the way through this interactive to al jazeera is reporting on the crisis it is called checkpoints and roadblocks it is it al jazeera dot com in the interactive section. the latest now on the gulf crisis and qatar is taking the united arab emirates to the international court of justice over human rights violations remember the u.a.e. saudi arabia bahrain and egypt began a boycott of qatar last june cutting off all diplomatic relations and transport ties cutter says it's those moves which violated the rights of citizens and residents in the country the blockade in countries have accused of supporting terrorism something which denies. joining us here in the studio we've got lot of who is from katas foreign ministry and thank you from banking the time to come and see as to why now we just passed one year into this crisis why do it now now actually from the very beginning of this crisis qatar said that it will pursue all
12:10 am
legal proceedings and legal measures basically against the will keep in countries that are actually started before this very day i mean started documenting those violations some lawsuits threw some off firms were actually moved before that but today i think we're ready to go before the international court of justice and start this legal proceedings against the united that i mean or maybe we should clear up exactly what we mean when we say violations because not everyone is up with this story in the wondering what what does that mean what i mean is violation absolutely it says june fifth two thousand and seventeen you know i think that a bit that it's but also saudi behavior in an egypt to an extent the three countries have expelled but that he citizeness from that countries have deny them access to education to health care to the citizens cannot even pass through those countries most recently during the month of ramadan katty citizens cannot
12:11 am
perform head job in this case and. so all those violations in addition to. other to the fact that the citizens cannot access their properties as well in the united arab emirates supposedly an open economy but what would you actually expect from the i.c.j. because. the lights of the usa you probably just say well it's our country we can do what we want we can throw it who we want i don't think so i think it's binding because the united arab emirates is part of the surge convention that is a convention that for hits all sorts of discrimination racial discrimination and they have also consented to article twenty two of that convention which means that the united arab emirates needs to follow the jurisdiction jurisdiction of the international court of justice do you have to notify the u.a.e.
12:12 am
as well officially that this is happening what is it to interested in the mechanics of battle i think the court system i mean the court itself the judge would inform the u.a.e. what outcome you sort of expecting and timeframe i mean is this we've had a year of the crisis already this could drag on and on i would hope is to distort the rights of other the citizens not only citizens but also the residents of puppet and we believe that the violations actually extend even to the citizens of the bookkeeping countries including the united out of them that its citizens no account i thank you for joining us here to appreciate it thank you all right let's just get a check on some other international headlines barbara starr is in london with that . kemal thank you doctors without borders a says it will temporarily stop its activities in a part of yemen after one of its color a treatment centers was bold and i said shared is these images on its twitter account to denouncing the attack saying it was carried out by the saudi led coalition the medical charity says it will suspend work in the abs region until the

safety of its staff and patients is in short several large explosions have been heard near the syrian capital damascus government media reports the blasts happened in an ammunition that in the city of. it's an area known for its many military bases initial reports suggest they could have been caused by high summer temperatures. or winning the war against iso in iraq has led to the destruction of entire cities at least ten billion dollars are needed to rebuild ramadi which is the capital of iraq's largest province but that's just a fraction of the reconstruction bill nationwide chel stratford reports. it's estimated that up to eighty percent of ramadi lies in ruins. around three hundred seventy five thousand people mostly sunni muslims used to live here before the capital of the province was seized by isis fighters. after months of fighting and
12:14 am
repeated i saw counter-offensive the government announced victory in ramadi in february two thousand and sixteen. it was two and a half years later reconstruction has barely begun. iraqis who have returned since then to live amongst the rubble and a struggling to rebuild their lives coming out of the out of. more than a thousand houses were flattened the rest are almost destroyed people are trying their best to three build their properties but they don't have enough money no government official has visited us and listen to our problems they just came briefly before elections and promised us the same promises but nothing happened the iraqi government says large scale reconstruction across the country hasn't started yet because it doesn't have the money. almost ninety dollars is needed to rebuild after fifteen years of war and chaos since the fall of saddam hussein in two
12:15 am
thousand and three but iraq's allies pledged only thirty billion as a donors conference in kuwait in february it's estimated that twenty two billion dollars is needed to rebuild a province including ten billion for mahdi. thousands of people live in camps on the outskirts of the city. we are asking the government to provide us with their missing documents so we can return home and leave the camp as you can see we are fasting despite lack of basic needs and services and we don't even have cold water to break our fast with. more than two million iraqis are forced to live in camps across iraq because their homes were destroyed. analysts say one of the reasons the rise of eisel happened in cities like ramadi is because abuse and neglect from the shia led federal government they say cities like ramadi and mosul were what they describe as incubators for extremist ideas to take root amongst

a small percentage of the population iraq's sunnis suffered some of the worst atrocities on the eisel the united nations says failure to help iraq rebuild risks fueling resentment and possibly even violence again. like that. if you if he has promised egypt that the latter won't face a water shortages as workers continue building africa's largest arms ethiopia's prime minister has had two days of talks in cairo he says hydro electricity from the four billion dollar nile river dam is vital for ethiopians development egypt which relies on the nile for virtually all of its fresh water and farm they were patient fears that that would be a disaster the pope has accepted the resignations of three chilean bishops following a child's child sex abuse scandal they include bishop one but also resolved no victims accuse him of having witnessed the abuse but doing nothing to stop it all
12:17 am
thirty four of chile's bishops offered to resign last month after a crisis meeting with the pope over claims that the church had covered up. and that's it for me in london for now that we're back in less than half an hour now though let's go back to come out. barbara thank you for that just a couple of your comments before we hit the break one actually on that report you just saw from chance transfer about iraq reconstruction of iraq isn't possible unless the u.s. and the international community comes forward for financial aid the i.m.f. also has a major role to rebuild and plenty of comments on north korea i like this one from what's seen though on facebook facebook dot com slash al-jazeera let's say north korea is going to agree on do you need clear results of the peninsula where do you think north korea will look for economic development china or the usa well we know which is close i don't mean which has a stronger relationship but then this is all about relationship building as donald trump would tell us so much to look forward to one hundred g.m.t. is when that summit will actually begin tuesday morning this is the news great if

to the international court of justice if you're looking for something popular something new something different it's the best place to go what's trending at all to see what up this monday. the leader of hong kong's pro-democracy movement has been jailed for six years one of the city's harshest sentences against activists in recent years twenty seven year old edward lewin was convicted of rioting in a twenty six day an overnight protest that turned violent to other demonstrators were also jailed for taking part in the protest one hundred thirty people up including police were injured when democracy activists staged a demonstration against what they saw as more mainland chinese control in hong kong the twenty sixth demonstrations were called the fishbowl revolution to one of the city's best love street snacks but it was one of the most violent in decades on rest which began after activists fought with police because they feared a crime. down on unlicensed vendors selling traditional snacks during chinese new
12:23 am
year at least sixteen people have already been jailed over the clashes with terms of up to four years and nine months dozens of hong kong activists have also been convicted of offenses that occurred during this the twenty fourteen umbrella movement protests in london for us now benedict rogers he's a human rights activist and founder and chair of hong kong what shits nice to have you with us benedict what can you tell us about the length of these sentences the severity of them the kind of message i.d.'s which the hong kong authorities are trying to send what they are indeed some of the longest most severe sentences that we've seen in recent years and i think it's clear that the hong kong government and indeed through them beijing is trying to send a very clear message to those pro-democracy activists and certainly for anybody who has ever advocated discussion of independence of separation or self-determination
12:24 am
as it would learn has it's clearly a deterrent to them i'm reading here a description that says if the event. is an unlawful assembly which leads to a breach of the peace i guess this is the technical wording for it is that something which would be open to interpretation of what actually is unlawful what breaches the pace people would say well we're just exercising our free speach. yes exactly at the heart of this issue around the sentencing of edward loan and others is the issue of the public order ordinance which of course was a colonial lore that britain brought in. chris patten as governor last governor of hong kong tried to make reforms to it to bring it into line with international human rights standards and those reforms were then reversed after the handover of hong kong and it does include this extraordinarily vague. definition of rioting
12:25 am
which could could apply to any form of peaceful protests that the authorities take a dislike to what's happened to the democracy movement in hong kong i think back to you know the umbrello movement as well what was that twenty fourteen wasn't it. where is there is this strength left in this movement do you think yes i think there is certainly there is always strength in the movement in the sense of there being extremely courageous dedicated individuals who will continue to find ways to protest that beijing's increasing erosion of hong kong's freedoms or and autonomy they will and out of the group rethink their strategies that may be a change of strategy but there is certainly strength but there will of course be some people who understandably will will think twice now about public protest in light of these sentences ben is that rogers thank you for coming in and talking to us to appreciate us. there is a great people in power film here which included
12:26 am
a discussion with edward doing actually about the hong kong democracy movement looking at sounds some who took part in the umbrella movement ended up becoming more galvanised and some would say even radicalized to a point where people wondered what are they going too far they are hong kong's localist revolutionaries people in power is in the documentary section at around zero dot com we are going off the grid now to egypt where new law and social media has been approved and. when we say something that it just it's not good news really is it very rarely very rarely exactly like come on says that if you are currently in egypt and if you have a lot of followers on social media on networks like facebook twitter how even a personal blog then you might want to know this the parliament has passed and new law to regulate social media but anyone with more than five thousand followers the subject to this law and may be prosecuted for spreading false news now a draft law was submitted as part of a broader media act earlier this week aiming to regulate consequences on the
12:27 am
national security and the private lives of citizens and the press in egypt did publish a copy of it as you can see here which is said to be the final version of the bill now in a country with more than ninety nine million people this is likely to have some impact and some people online have been vocal including their he's the member of the journalists and tickets he's criticized that the draft law on facebook calling it a catastrophic and then you have a he's also a journalist and he adds that the law imposes silence on everyone as the high council has given the right to take action on from ation published on personal accounts well we've been talking to elizabeth which will from the committee to protect journalists. egypt is already the world's third largest jail of journalists there are at least twenty journalists behind bars there seven and he's been charged with fox news these laws to pave the way for even more journalists to be imprisoned
12:28 am
it is the latest example of how government are exploiting revelations of fake news to silence critics many journalists around the world terms of social media to share legitimate news and commentary you just government should be encouraging debate and dialogue rather than increasing the insecurity under which journalists already operate. well according to reporters without borders at least thirty five journalists citizen journalists and bloggers are currently detained in the country now egypt is ranked one hundred sixty one out of one hundred eighty countries for press freedom in twenty seventeen and the latest victim is shadi up was a video blogger who is well known for his her cool videos feud on social media networks he was arrested on suspicion of publishing lies and being a member of a banned group and then you have while abbas he's also a prominent blogger who documented abuses by egyptian police he was detained on accusations based on disseminating false news and joining an outlawed group now his

12:30 am
kabul shelob ellis has this story. these afghans will not be deterred by hate hunger distance or danger. they are walking seven hundred kilometers to the afghan capital kabul without food or water from dawn to dusk during the holy month of ramadan. if all afghans raise the same voice for peace and say no more war i'm sure we will reach a sustainable peace very soon. nine men started in the taliban stronghold of helmand province a month ago as temperatures climbed above forty degrees so did the numbers through town after town the group swelled with afghans strangers sensing a moment to be heard all. the no way afghan army and security forces met us they kept their weapons down to welcome us and told us to take our messages that taliban also came on the roads welcoming us and told us to find

12:33 am
women marched in the streets of seoul over the weekend some hiding their faces and others shaving their heads all demanding that police fairly investigate digital sex crimes including spy cam pornography while they are protesting against malkuth porn this is where spy cams secretly fill women in public places the footage is then illegally sold to put on graffiti sites and online forums and these are just some of the pictures that we've seen online by the women's march for justice group. there showing the number of holes found in public restrooms used to hide these cameras well we heard from rafael rashid a journalist in seoul on how rampant this problem is. these cameras are everywhere in a toilet cubicle on shirt buttons and even on the tip of shoes to record to secretly up a woman's skirt while riding the subway. so big is the problem that women these
12:34 am
days have to wear mosques to cover their faces when using the restrooms so scared of a of being exposed online now a similar rally did take place in may after a photo of a male model posing for a nude on kos was leaked through a women only online web site and this resulted in a police investigation and also widespread media coverage of the women are saying that this is a double standard accusing the police of gender bias and also it comes off the back of the numerous need to campaign protests that have taken place against abuse and also sexual harassment we managed to get some thoughts online from the korean social media such engine site called neighbor real time search and these are translated to english this uses says i don't agree with everything they're saying at the protests but i do agree that hidden cameras absolutely must be rid of i support managing the selling and buying of many cameras as well as investigations
12:35 am
and then another as a decades ago it was illegal for men to walk around without a top on in the states now it's just women why is that why is the female chest considered obscene we are the same human while human rights watch explains what women are facing in south korea. women in south korea are dealing with a lot of very serious rights abuses in one survey a shocking eighty percent of men in south korea said that they had physically or psychologically abused a female partner sexual harassment the workplace is widespread and usually women don't even bother to complain because they think it's so unlikely that anything will be done the country also has a law which makes abortion illegal in most cases restricting women's right to choice well south korea's government has reportedly been working on regulating the sale of these spy cams and also creating a hotline for victims as well as imposing
12:36 am
a penalty on video makers and also website owners and the minister of gender equality and family has said that she feels she has a great responsibility to find an effective solution but see one crew from korea exposé says that there are wide a societal issues and he's not convinced by the government's policies many men argue women have perfectly fine lives and they're demanding too much in the name of feminism and in fact it is the women who are not reasonable but if you look at the kind of policies that are being in there too i'm not sure how effective they are and i think we can be attributed this partly to the fact that there really aren't as many high ranking female officials in the government as there should be so male politicians who just don't know what to do and they're in fact not very understanding of the kind of problems that women seem to freeze over to have to get your thoughts on the story especially if you are in south korea so connect with us

know we're talking about panini's stick is an institution every four years as the world cup rolls around and really the something quite nice about that isn't there look at their website here in this age of everything being all online this is just if you can make it a good old fashioned sticker collecting of the players in the world cup. well there is still an app is in there because it's twenty eighteen and twenty eighteen there's an app for everything isn't there here is the well it is now about getting all nostalgic as he looks back at the enduring popularity of the world cup and the stickers russia twenty eight provide the opportunity for one nation to fulfill its destiny and the opportunity for football fans to collect pictures of their heroes for the phil stick around believes the decades italian company penley of my these albums the big one comes out every four years world cup tournament into plenty of transfer activity but it's an expensive hobby
12:40 am
a british mathematician kinds fighting an album can cost over a thousand dollars. and so alex and sean pratchett from oxford they wanted to fill an album but not spend the money they are known on social media as plainly cheap straights. yeah this is where the magic doesn't happen. and they'll be drawing every single one of the six hundred ninety two stickers themselves so we need a good reason and a lot of people on twitter and things wanted us to have another crack at it and the idea of doing it for charity to raise money for good causes so give us the motivation i think yeah to talk to our lives for another month and spend another world cup drawing rather than watching football but came up with this idea for the last world cup in brazil and completed their mission two years later they took on the euro twenty six thing to beijing their hotel while this was the start looking a bit like a samurai by now that vice thousands for charity were getting
12:41 am
a lot of love on social media but the five charity work is not artists they don't actually write their own artwork there's a lot of like rescuing like i can't do this this is not going correctly can you please try and you know redeem whatever travesty you were halfway through. the you didn't they are not my hands but sometimes i think i'll give this ticket to you and then a look at meeting of us not the news i did hear. from linked with it this time their main focus can't be on whether christiane over now though has a lot sided mouth. for line he doesn't have quite enough. the latest addition to their family album is baby knowing that this doesn't mean shann is on maternity leave which helps their world cup all bonanza once the prep is all in place a sticker can be drawn in around fifteen minutes what's comically amateurish to alex jones it's pretty impressive to me what do you personally make of this do you know what do you think when we first began we kind of we could because it was this
12:42 am
meant to be this anything that would amuse a few mates we didn't really give it any thought if we were going to start again all over again maybe we would. you know try to tick them off by using the word kony . it seems that they've taken a you know good humor panini haven't tried so we raise these replicas of artists which is as much in tribute to stick it collecting is fifteen yes they're increasing amounts of online fans are happy that for now at least they're stuck with their unusual hobby lee wellings al-jazeera oxford her some level of commitment isn't it very pleased to have fun and their talents with us now football journalists with the other us a spanish daily sports newspaper and he's in sochi at the moment joining us via skype did you connect or in fact do you still collect panini's tickets well i'm trying to estimate a way sure little sons i have one those are six years old and tried to do it but i don't. you know seem very much into it in the end it was me but i just
12:43 am

a selfie the security price tag for the summit is expected to hit twenty million dollars but singapore's prime minister says the high cost is worth it to try to bring stability to the region. well donald trump is being optimistic about the summit's chances of success secretary of state though has been more cautious warning that the u.s. will only accept the complete and it reversible do no clear ization of the korean peninsula brown reports from singapore. and in the final hours before the singapore summit president trump was on the move his motorcade heading to the official office of singapore's prime minister lee hsien loong. but the president was not in a talkative mood the prime minister is the host for tuesday's unprecedented meeting and so also has a lot at stake north korea's leader kim jong un who met the premier on sunday says

12:55 am
charity s.l.s. really tiny is carrying six hundred twenty nine people rescued from the sea off the coast of libya well the ship is currently at sea sixty five kilometers from italy and fifty kilometers from malta but with both of those countries refusing to accept the ship it may have to head for violence that's one thousand four hundred kilometers to the west has more. like georgia now in the dead of night after kerry's rescue in the mediterranean six hundred twenty nine people picked up by the italian coast guard and transferred to the aquarius rescue ship run by the french charity s.o.s. make it to. the terror and the trauma all too evident global difficulty in the uk but yeah it was a moment of relief before more drama after the vessel was denied access to italian ports it was left adrift in international waters with hundreds of people huddling
12:56 am
aboard among them one hundred twenty three unaccompanied children and seven pregnant women we have food and water enough to accuse people of two to three days but to you know this is not what we wish because we are in so overcrowded people are sleeping in in the zoo is a daycare this is it is not comfortable at all. terribly exhausted the decision by italy's new interior minister matteo salvini to block the ship from docking was no great surprise as head of a cease fire right anti immigration league party he campaigned to stop the mass or rival of migrants his reason. that italy should not be the only country to take in vessels from north africa and said that the small island of malta should allow the people to disembark but that was rejected by the maltese prime minister joseph muscat under international law it is up to the country coordinating the search and rescue operation in this case italy to choose the port where the vessel should dock
12:57 am
and responsibility echoed by the european commission on monday the priority. should be ensuring these people receive the care they need spain's prime minister paid a sunset has said the ship will be allowed to dock in the spanish port of violence yeah but the italian refusal to allow the migrants in is an alarming precedent for rescuers but for italy's interior minister it is an opportunity to make good on his word and pass the buck to neighboring countries in the mediterranean. al-jazeera. well one of the aid groups operating the ship has thanks spain for granting permission to dock but it says it may not be possible to take them up on their offer spain or first of the routine violence and we acknowledge it's it's a sign of solidarity but it's not on our decision the italian of our sea is under command and the have to take the decision because they are in charge of those
12:58 am
people rescued in it's also technically not really easy for us to go to spain it means that we need at least two more days of sailing which is not possible today with six hundred twenty nine people on board. we would need to resupply at sea which is not so easy to organize and so we urge the telly to find a solution. very soon close to our position. will the aid group doctors without borders is the other group that's responsible for the aquarius the ship their relief efforts are being coordinated by carly who joins us now from amsterdam via skype madam thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera so this bring us up to date with the latest first of all is the aquarius the ship with the six hundred and twenty nine migrants now on its way to valencia or not what's what's the latest notice you do ation at this moment is that the aquarius is still in it's bush issued a very it's us are still below standby and the reason for death is that it's it's
12:59 am
coming this day shift from the spanish and the city because this is at the end a european problem but it's not as simple as just leafing i mean first a full we do not have to supply street just sail to for let's yeah it's at least three days sailing but also it is absolutely not the best solution we have six on that search the people on board their own the deck i mean this ship is not equipped to carry so many people were two hours away from a poor people can be disembarked in safety it off the debts i mean again brought be brought to spade but also more importantly if not received any form. all instructions from the italian rescue center that's the instruction for us is to go to spain so we are waiting for instructions as well from the maritime rescue center in spain as in the instructions of the maritime rescue center in in italy was there to pull buttons out dorothy's and we can hold response to statements in the media but meanwhile the
1:00 am
situation is ongoing we are heading into a second night in the open sea you know it's quite desperate you more or less you know the rescue people in awful conditions these people went through hell for time first in in libya then at sea and we're more or less having these people sitting on the deck in their blankets and it's a bit like you have a big car accident that they tell you it well you have to wait because we didn't figure out which hospital is ready to receive it you mean all these people as you say now entering at their second night there is pregnant women there's children there's people that are injured how are you getting or are you getting extra supplies for all these people anyway yes the italian coast guard and also the multi soko scarth they have been supporting us today and we can only appreciate this but it's a bit crazy i mean the accident took people were rescued by italian a few byt italian coast guard and he took them on board to be took four hundred people on board were rescued by other ships in their instruction off the italian
