has to be united now the french president emanuel markhor praised the new socialist prime minister pedro such as from spain saying that he had showed a gesture of solidarity when he decided to open up their doors in spain to the where is migrants and refugees those who were rescued by that charity a ship of blocked by italy might cross said it was indeed an important gesture but the migration cannot be solved in that way on a case against of bases what is needed is a much wider plan now both pedro sanchez and tomorrow mark or will be at a mini migration summit in brussels on sunday and this meeting in paris is really an opportunity for these two leaders to get snow each other the first time they met and also discuss some of the strategies which may be talked about at the summit on sunday later in the week at the main summit there is no doubt they are all they same page or they believe new solutions must be found they also both pro e.u. young dynamic leaders who really want more e.u.

integration and what that means for them is that there must be solutions found to the migration crisis because they see the divisions that it is causing and they worry that that could threaten the future of the european union the future of the bloc in fact a model mark or even said that we could see a wave of populism and nationalism unless something is done because europe's leaders prepare for sunday's meeting many of the migrants trying to make their way across the continent and losing hope al-jazeera laurence leamer reports now from the greece macedonia border where people have travelled from turkey have found themselves at a dead end. dogs live better than this stinking piles of rubbish the mosquitoes the mostly afghans and they know full well the not even germany will take them in nowadays their war has been deemed less importance than a syrian woman so they stop people going to stay here but the system is too slow

i.e. trying to move rules even to move not only to stay here do you hear but there's no company that can avoid this day there because of all this one year some have lived in a half built car park nearly a year so cornered mohammed had arrived the day we turned up he thinks he would like to risk the crossing through albania which thousands have already tried this year but how to afford it you have money for this. i have one month in one year or even now one euro yes. vanished. in person just ahead no one money is the northern pass to greece from turkey over the wide river the rich revealed by al-jazeera several months ago that is causing this new humanitarian crisis everyone we spoke to would come this way and the total lack of hope in greece is forcing them to consider any route out if you have any money you can get a bus from thessaloniki to a port and try your luck on

a boat to italy but most don't have the luxury of this option until a couple of years ago it was full of tents and journalists before the so-called full could routes was closed by macedonia the media is all gone now but we'd been told dozens was still attempting this route every day and so it proved we found them a shepherd's track in a forest right on the border all of them pakistanis many of them teenagers. where do you go do you know. macedonia serbia and to germany this way. trying to do what hundreds of thousands managed a few years ago but europe isn't the same anymore for according to the united nations there are now getting on for ten thousand more refugees and migrants in greece than the worth when this border was basically a refugee camp two or three years ago and frankly these people have got absolutely no chance of getting asylum in any western european country if anything germany's

likely to tell greece to take more and more people back these places become a complete trap. and surprisingly the new waves of refugees coming siding with the new hostile european environments make local officials navas even make it worse to get them there it already happened because they wanted to fulfill their dreams and go to europe to get over things that were down in traps that. frightens but we hope there will never again be an informal camp of refugees and migrants. for the refugees living rough in greece there is no he even warsaw let alone hope they may as well pray because no country in europe will help them now largely al-jazeera not in greece.

look i've. got you. know some of it i like. al-jazeera. with every year. when the news breaks. on the mailman city and the story builds to be forced to leave it would piss me off when people need to be heard to women and girls are being bought and given away in refugee camps al-jazeera has teams on the ground to

bring you the winning documentaries and knife news on al-jazeera i got to commend you all i'm hearing is good journalism. and. in a world where journalism as an industry is changing we have fortunate to be able to continue to expand to continue to have that possum that drive and present the stories in a way that is important to our viewers. everyone has a story worth hearing. and cover those that are often ignored we don't weigh our coverage towards one particular region or continent that's why i joined al jazeera . al jazeera is very assertive we just tell the reality as it is i thought they could work on the fact they call it modern slavery we call for in the future every day not only one day as the breaking news story in the news has a very fascinating country but very difficult to understand from the outside and

because i've been living here for sixty years i know very well it's. and i go out there and the whole country and even to go out of here i guess the opportunity for a journalist to be a real journalist. cape town's water running out city or storage he said people should use no more than fifty liters of top water per person per day about a third of the city's residents live in informal settlements like this one then you can see in about four percent of the water with the generations they've already been collecting it and communal taps all sources say the city will reach day zero on the ninth of july that's when they'll turn off the water in the homes to have it be the communal council stay on. the city's taps the fed by reservoirs this is one of the largest. because they'll gallop where four years ago they would have been on the twenty five meters of water since then the provinces suffered the worst drought

on record. water saving measures have already postponed a zero by stream everyone here is hoping the winter will soon bring enough rainfall to make sure they never come. with bureaus spawning six continents across the globe. to. al-jazeera correspondents live in green the stories they tell. us about it. al-jazeera fluent in world news one of the really special things about working for al-jazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else would be pushes you know it's very challenging to live out in the but to good because you have

a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are we the people we live to tell the real story so. well just men did used to do the work in depth in the museum we don't feel inferior we're good audiences across the globe. al-jazeera. where every.

one of the biggest problems facing our oceans is the loss of seagrass meadows what's your role for roughly fifteen percent of the ocean's total carbon storage perhaps or they hoped weiss as much carbon dioxide as rain forests and they're also commercial marine habitats for many endangered ocean species. but here on al corn slew in central california the tide could be turning for sea grass thanks to some unexpected allies. pro-al a free air. this nine hundred hectare as she wary is where rivers throughout this region meet the pacific ocean this is the agricultural powerhouse of the united states and

fertilizer and pesticide runoff threaten the balance of this delicate eater. system so having a farmer so close to the ocean on what what impact does that have on the water quality well i mean were you coastal environments close to urban centers coast or were once closed cultural centers. like. the rocks there mentioned starts composing over half of the world's sea grass meadows are in decline but here in al corn slew they're making a surprising comeback. oh wow. at one time there were thousands of sea otters in california but in the eighteen hundreds they were hunted to near extinction for their soft fur pelts. there are

now more than one hundred in this as consuming a staggering one hundred thousand crabs per year. this federation's appetite has helped restore the balance of this ecosystem by triggering a chain reaction known as a trophic cascade. sea otters the crabs lower crop numbers allows smaller invertebrates like sea slugs to thrive and these creatures are crucial for the health of seagrass eating builds up on the leaves they allow sunlight to reach the plants. because the otters are so crucial to the ecosystem scientists are carefully monitoring their slow and steady come back. they capture them and tag them with radio devices. firing their work really well. it's a crime was probably very close. what's the purpose of proper we

go out seven days a week is to go out and find. joel see where they are what they're doing. other part of it is just so we can understand the distribution of otters in this area what are they eating and how are they doing health wise there's one right there and three four nine six beeping of an arm that beeping is from the radio transmitter that's we surgically implanted in her so that helps with locator. why don't you take a look yet you're not in there. along the west coast of north america researchers have noticed that the return of top level predators is having an impact on restoring all kinds of underwater life and the entire ocean system. what the sea otters do it's kind of it turns the tables against them through thousands of packs of single living crabs

essentially the same grass an advantage again so if we introduce top predators like sea otters to ecosystems around the world will it have a knock on that potentially in the prediction is yes so if you re store food webs which means a lot of times bringing back a top predator to a system that we wiped out they have a great potential for restoring the health of that system.

to my image forcing a military increases putting all of us fresh off for a year i don't wish my stomach alcoholic. tastes. talk to any national service. hello i'm richard gilbert and you're at the listening post here are some of the media stories we're tracking this week the war in the yemen will the latest coalition offensive finally get this story the kind of coverage. it deserves journalism in syria suffers from a different kind of problem does the truth even stand a chance that a brutal murder of a kashmiri editor sends a chilling message to anyone trying to report from the region and an american cartoonist becomes collateral damage in donald trump's war against the us media he's out of a job.
