5:02 pm
the life and some european attitudes are hardening against free lance search and rescuers who would help bring others here malta's prime minister a liberal compared to some e.u. leaders holds this against them the captain of the said this so who went against international rules and ignored directions being given by the italian authorities who were coordinating the rescue it appears that european search and rescue has become a political not a humanitarian act jumpstart al-jazeera valetta. joining us on skype from milan is . a village that is he is a fellow at the migration program at the italian institute for international political studies we appreciate your time very much so but there's a couple of different things that are going on here there's the pushback against the migrants in italy and things like refusing to take in the rescue ship and then there is the breakdown of these camps where the roma live but technically there are two separate issues but is the sentiment behind these actions similar. you
5:03 pm
know saying no actions are a way to score cheap political points by a heart going to party and that is what the folks in rome are interesting that it's almost like a nonexistent problem in italy. who live in camps are like people whether a minority group of people is like ninety percent of them why are you need to lead leave outside camps and marius and this way clearly we need to mean it's there is probably sick accomplishing he's a left of promises but at the same time he's provoking these climate of europe with a population that's exactly the way. things are going in that. white house is supposed to play out what what are the details of you know how these camps are going to be broken gal where these people are going to go usually when you don't can't it happened twenty years ago but a previous administration says right when you say should be in the same league not
5:04 pm
only already it tended to do a census before and we noticed that on the terms of the wound camps and they did just better some caps but clearly they tried to resettle people in urban areas and give them like a daughter but once these ends unless the kind of integrated we did believe in market some of them against anything comes around the cities so that these you know the problem that we curse but it seems and we really have to remember that these of mine a minority temperament in italy the only zero point three percent of its own population . is there any pushback against the tail solving for her and for these actions. well i actually think you do isn't a public company usually pretty much in the direction of much as civilian right now about eighty percent of them did agree on to close down the boards on the site so do not delete and other parties within the government even the five star movement
5:05 pm
in more of a centrist movement agreed overwhelmingly to close down the ports. search and rescue ships so i mean right now usually find me to do not to believe narrative is actually having an effect on people and we see movies goes once the promise is that being done right now might come might come down to look at whether the promises that absolutely will have to say about comes out of this this agreement tayo thank you very much thank you the president of the international committee of the red cross is preparing to hold a major news conference on the broad hensher crisis peter maher is visiting me in mar where he has met the de facto leader out on sochi seven hundred thousand head to have fled the country since a massive military crackdown targeted them last august most are living in makeshift camps in neighboring bangladesh earlier peter marshall al jazeera the conditions are not yet in place to allow our attention to safely return home. for the i.c.r.c.
5:06 pm
this is still and is at the present moment first and foremost an emergency operation a lot of people have been affected from all the communities and we need also to have even stronger support and facilities from all the authorities in myanmar to be able to operate and to expand our operations the reconsolidation of the communities the bringing back of minimal safety and security for people with is a tall order in the. the work of many of the actors of many of the communities as well so we are probably looking at the long term and medium term perspective i don't think that we have yet conditions conducive to large scale return we'll need security arrangements which are embraced by the communities
5:07 pm
and this is again a political task of this key stakeholders in in me and mar. we certainly appreciate the support that we have for our humanitarian work and we certainly would appreciate if others would join us in a few because again we do believe that this is still an emergency operation. a lot of food medical assistance basic assistance is needed for the population stows who are there into those who eventually will come home and all of next week out of syria will be reporting on the crisis from bangladesh for our team of a visiting the camps and meeting those affected by what the united nations has called a textbook case of ethnic cleansing. state department has released its annual people trafficking report it's warned about the dangers of forcibly separating children from their families which puts it at odds with president trump's migrants operation
