2:02 am
iraq. we very much regret the loss of life that we have seen over the past few days during the protests in iraq we've also seen an announcement by the prime minister that he's opened up an investigation which we welcome that he gets it's very important for the protesters and the government to have a dialogue a clear dialogue that would hopefully lead to some deescalation. as a matter of principle as we've said. in fact yesterday we call for the respect of the right of people to assemble freely and peacefully and as a matter of principle we also believe that further violence and excessive use of force must be avoided. still to come on al-jazeera despite the highest prolification is these jordanians have little hope for the future i don't see this on for years or changing careers or leaving the country.

a role in trump saffron's to pressure ukraine into investigating a political rival trump nice says he could ask both ukraine and china to investigate his democratic rival to biden and his son. they should investigate the bike because that is a company that's still a ford and all these companies if you look at it by the way likewise china just started investigating it didn't buy it because what happened to china is just about as bad as what happened with. with ukraine so i would say that presidential escape . if it were made i would recommend that they start at investigation in the device because nobody has any doubt that they weren't working. at least 31 people have died during 3 days of violent antigovernment protests in iraq sporadic gunfire has

i.t. assistance and that's you up to date stay with us here and i'll just use continues after inside story. helping the helpless as the e.u. finally found a solution to the migrant crisis it's taken almost 5 years for some states to put together a raw deal how many of the others will also now sign up and what does it mean for tens of thousands of asylum seekers rescued at sea we can't move forward nor go back this is inside story.
2:22 am
hello and welcome to the program today with me piece of october the marks 6 years since the lampedusa migrants tragedy that was when more than 300 people died as their overcrowded ship capsized off the italian coast this year and for the 6th in a row more than 1000 migrants and refugees have lost their lives in the mediterranean those who have survived to either been detained deported or they're living in dire conditions european countries receiving the influx of still debating how to tackle the crisis a draft deal was reached last month by germany france italy malta and finland on how to relocate people who have been rescued they'll try to get other e.u. countries on board and they discussed the plan next week one prominent figure in
2:23 am
the crisis has told e.u. leaders their approach is quote shameful see what captain cut all our petty was arrested and fined for illegally entering an italian port with 53 rescued migrants after being trapped at sea for more than 2 weeks having to explain to the survivors who had rescued that the country and peace did not want them but the europe the so called nest of human rights and civil liberties did not consider and worse to touch that slant it was hard to be a european citizen and those states. it felt very shameful well almost 80000 people have risked their lives making the journey to europe so far this year most arrived in greece more than 40000 at the latest count but camps there are already overcrowded and that's being blamed for recent deaths about 20000 arrived in spain it is already struggling to accommodate thousands of migrants many are unaccompanied children with no work and nowhere to sleep the number of migrants
2:24 am
arriving in italy rose in september the 1st increase since the start of 2018 despite hardline anti migrant policies italy has taken in more than 7000 people all 3 countries say they need a plan to redistribute the migrants. here we go let's introduce our guests today in brussels on skype remoter a humanitarian affairs advisor on migration of doctors without borders and also on skype from milan matteo via a fellow at the italian institute for international political studies welcome to you both remember in brussels coming to you 1st will this deal actually work the most of those been running such a risky activities in the mediterranean 3 years now and what we've seen that is a situation that has been created by a political chaos we do not believe that disembarkation should be linked to memory location and of the 1st priority for search and rescue should be saving
2:25 am
lives at sea and that's what any deal any discussion especially rescue should be ok thanks for that matter of you're in milan why is that so far into this crisis and it's now been going on a long time are we still only talking about a draft deal well there is it is there was a new political commitment from the many countries before and there are not as conscious of are only europe and right now it's still a tentative deal because in the end the commitment money comes from germany hotly i would say and from france maybe a little less inwardly and other countries leave the job. and these needs to be brought to you and in the end this is not this is the draft because it is quite normal and original even we wouldn't say it's a tradition because it's been discussed outside do you framework and now it's been brought to the e.u. as a whole to be discussed this is it has a risk of not flying that much because the only consensus had censor ministerial arrivals to italy in munster and these are gut arrivals to greece and spain that
2:26 am
right now the majority of the arrivals regularized to europe india i mean treatment why you describe it in the way you just have i mean it occurs to me correct if i'm wrong here it's something of a work around i.e. the existing pan-european legislation that comes to dealing with migrants last refugees is inherently flawed because it basically goes back to the aftermath of the 2nd world war. yes right it's not just that we have actually that that's a routine dui which is that probably a regulation that says that all of us and them see guests coming from outside the e.u. should be processed by the 1st country of arrival and that's not something safe but mostly they should and so in dns of the countries the 1st arrivals faith or the priests have always asked other e.u. countries to come in and join in this league r.t. and say ok we can take and relocate some of these and help you find we want it at least their requests to maybe take care of their retention of those who are not
2:27 am
then indeed protected and then protect those are the protection but what's been happening in ames that means that it has been some careless and india end the only sleeve that idea is the let's say an automatic city that is from the fact that as a music is that the right to eat in the recent spain indian relocate themselves by do not a movements within the e.u. but not need to be saying yes this is a work around from a situation that's been there for years and it's hard to to move in brussels if it doesn't work what kind of positive impact could it have on those countries who've been on the front line of this i'm thinking here specifically about greece the greek government as well of course on the greek islands. look carefully as taylor pointed out the current discussions during include grace even though the number of arrivals to grace increased quite significantly and the discussions are only really focusing on the central mediterranean at the moment and it is to solve this problem of the stand ups that have been happening for the past year which occur aided by
2:28 am
this tension around going to a port of safety and and so we need to prioritize once again that when rescues are conducted at sea the 1st thing that we should be focusing on is making sure that they have a designated port of safety that should be the priority and if people can be processed on shore and then relocated but that's another discussion we'll come to that in just a 2nd i'm sure him well as we've been mentioning here on inside story greece is bearing most of the burden of migration across the mediterranean the new greek government has said it will take a tougher stance on the crisis it plans to deport $10000.00 people to turkey by the end of next year and relocate hundreds of camps on the greek mainland material get into the nitty gritty of deportations in just a 2nd but historically looking back to when this crisis initially spiked what 4 and a half 5 years ago now why was it or who took the decision but it would always be done on a case by case basis not just a country by country basis but literally
2:29 am
a boat by boat basis this is actually the boat. was actually there when we speak italian to us has been dealt with since the good team india. there's been an agreement of sorts of the collaboration is the most talked about and these kind of the creation actually was the movement of 40 which implied that. the writers writing to greece would be returned and then this same amount at least not serious would be resettled to europe's taken from taken then taken to to europe say this never worked out in the end drew. only returned about 1500 people of the more did 1000000 persons who reached greece and more than 350000 persons who reached the spot at least the curation so didn't work so the group called and said ok we want to return 10000 people right right now it is going to be hard because
2:30 am
again greece has only managed 3101500 people in 2 years and said to return 10000 persons to turkey rather deemed so-called safe countries it's going to be very hard to trace and maybe we have to look into tentative solutions for these persons who are not stuck in greek islands and ream you were talking there in your earlier about how they're going to sort through people on board the boat at that point in this process those people are in a terrible state they haven't eaten properly they haven't had water properly they haven't had a shower for days maybe weeks how do you do that when you're dealing with a boat load of people who don't have the right paperwork how do you decide ream where they go or where they go back to. yes as material mentioned. in the grease and our people are contained on one of the 5 greek islands this containment policy has resulted in 30000 people currently being contained on the 5
2:31 am
great guyland and this is a cyclical process of overcrowding of really bad conditions of lack of hygiene and what we have seen and in these cases a complete and other health and mental health crisis that is being created in the european policy is based on 2 principles itogi promises based on idea of containing people somewhere in the great guns to process them and then quickly returning them somewhere else this containment is is is completely causes a large amounts of how we see we seek children every day seek we have a pediatric clinic a mental health clinic and until that solution until this policy is addressed and revised we're going to keep seeing the cycle of calm so we really as imitator said need to find alternative solutions and so it's not just transferring people up the great guidelines to the great mainland but really addressing and the system in of
2:32 am
itself the logic behind the deal ending the deal and potentially looking at options about relocating people to other european states this is not just a greece problem this is a euro problem. when rim talks about the circle of all i'm thinking here there was a point perhaps 18 months or 2 years ago when the relevant authorities sent teams on the ground to the greek islands that effort to then i'm not being overly critical but that effort then didn't work why should this new effort doing it in this way on the boats actually worth one of the pegs is actually you know the tent as always been has leasing capacity is in the. city externalized for institutions that do not allow people to get to the mainland at least in greece or maybe even process them before they get. at least legally in the u.s. seems to be quite a physical one to time it's very it's almost impossible to process people under both it's true that the current greek government has proposed this kind of solution
2:33 am
even on processing played on words i don't think really can be sustained really legally even mean that you have to take purses and take them maybe 3 days maybe 4 weeks actually currently do you know the evolution process last 4 years so how can these be compressed in times of days for the people prisoners can be detained this is being you know within a discourse of containment of these persons here either in our own islands or on the mainland but in the end we really have to keep in mind that these bases i don't sense it is not simply mike it's their purses and they cannot be treasonous and you know as detainees in a sense or essay that that's a danger for national security as such so we really have to look into how 2000 and if you go on and how to find solutions in europe and maybe save britain but maybe less 7 new courses that were going to be 10 this poses a kind of sentences for some countries in europe seems to be a safe country for us he's not there to dynamics here the big one the main one is
2:34 am
people escaping. conflict people escaping what's going on in syria we were talking the matter he was mentioning the people getting out of afghanistan for totally understandable reasons well so that's the big one but is there a smaller one it is how politicians at the leading edge of eastern europe who are on the the extremity of the e.u. react to this within a prism of the flow of their own domestic political structures the way that a country like hungary say will tilt or italy will tilt slightly to the right a country then goes off at a tangent maybe spends 18 months or 2 years reacting in a particular way and then as we've been discussing about italian politics then tilts ever so slightly to the left yeah. i think we have to remember that this hostile environments and this increased hostility is not unique to to some countries i think we've seen an increase of this rhetoric across europe and also in
2:35 am
other places around the world. but also these policies the migration management policies being implemented in europe a quite consistent as well with the with the evolution of this kind of deterrence and containment externalize station so i wouldn't really say it's only based if eastern european countries but actually the way in which the european migration management rejean and the way in which the european migration management agender is being implemented as a whole so i think it is of this quite a few layers in this story is another one of these layers materia the way that certain western european leaders are basically saying to those eastern european leaders i guess there will be penalties involved i mean that kind of adopting the moral high ground but they're saying we're going to penalize other countries how would they do it and what would the penalties be. it's hard to say in dns it as it removes same ease western government ever benefited and worked around to and maybe
2:36 am
we've the eastern governments for some time and no government right now even the centrist party is in europe wants to have higher levels of migration and many not as a 1st countries all right now did benefit from the tell important policy let's say politics up close in the ports in dnd said this is the kind of. i would say feasible in a societal bias that we reached in which all of do you want to close the gates so yes when you say we want to punish this did not put these beings live that is mostly to read ok people who were really there but in dnd in terms of solidarity it seems what we have seen is that it is sorely lacking and even now for instance with the change government immediately there is no consensus on whether to go back at sea and take back and doing search and rescue operations fulvia that migrants who to crease again review seem to be saying a couple of minutes ago here on inside story deal with the problem of source when
2:37 am
is the war in syria how do you do it when it's the the crisis the ongoing situation of being an afghan from afghanistan how do you do it. yes so i think that the you know meet today we have the highest levels of displacement in the world so we have 70000000 people displaced all over the world but you have to remember a very small percentage of those people are actually riding in europe or even making the journey towards europe so to even have the language of a crisis or an emergency when as as you rightly pointed out there's other places in the world where there's hundreds of thousands of millions of refugees m.s.f. works in many places around the world so we also have to keep this in perspective and we also have to send a humane approach we have to center approach in which people can access their their rights to seek asylum they have they are able to be individually assessed and in the meanwhile they're not trapped in detention centers and not trapped in containment camps where their health and wellbeing is deteriorating every day this
2:38 am
currently is full of 1000 children on the great island unaccompanied by the children of the greek islands and there's no solutions for them to be living anywhere that's safe for them you know so we really need to make sure that we have approach where we're actually you know keeping things in perspective and we're addressing we're making sure that people that do arrive in european shores have access to the humanitarian assistance that they need in case we sound like we're criticizing this this poor structured plan is there a sense in which perhaps it may just be the beginning of a common across the e.u. migration policy. i'm quite skeptical of that but let's just try complicity you know right so yes it's true that if you compare the situation to the one just 2 months ago it's reading comparable in terms of how much you know how many steps italy has done to deescalate situation and other countries did you know to have
2:39 am
italy that was perceived as being you know perceived this has been left to lose. might be the truth east duggar revelations are these that means that. all right most migrants will need to be processed by 1st conscious of our own we stay there probably in the future and we have to work around it and the 2nd thing is the truth is do you does not have a common migration policy when it comes to regularize once and it always begins with them by same too many you know. you know even if 1000 used too many so we have to look at that approach but it's always in the hands of the member states so yes we can be positive but only member states that. just didn't do not know start not looking just at short term but also look at means long term solutions which must mean that military mini seen as a scene that we always be
2:40 am
a crossroads of migration and so therefore that we will have to have a public system of social risk in place that makes it stable. and the boy was in an essay that do you share negativity from material in as much as it may not be a common policy across the knesset's just to you but it's got to be i mean 2015 we're talking about 1300000 people we really need to find solutions i think a lot of the fill the problems that we're discussing though and not linked to the numbers of people they're writing they're not linked to the the the situation there that the people that are arriving in there actually link to the political crisis. and i think that's what my tail was touching on that there the that there's a lack of you know other countries stepping up there's a there's a political there was a political crisis that was deescalated we have as i said before we have to keep this in perspective it's you know i don't like talking about numbers because i
2:41 am
think that's a secondary point but the numbers are very small yet you have yet you have people dying in the mediterranean sea and a ratio that we haven't seen before and why is that that is because there's no power it's currently doing productive search and rescue when before 2015 there were that was the case so we have to also make sure that we we are not also buying into the political crisis that are being created and that we're looking for humanitarian solutions we're being rational are being pragmatic and we're making sure that with entering the needs of people at the heart of the conversation which often gets lost ok there is this elephant in the room it's the voluntary aspect of what we're talking about and what we think this deal may or may not become would it work or would it be helpful to say poland and hungary if the e.u. centrally said we will throw money at this and that would then presumably send the right signals to the greek government which brings us back to last boss 24000 people who came out of boats and they've ended up on lesbos they can't go back and
2:42 am
they can't go forward yeah right you see the problem here is that this kind of deal is not going to greece you know in a way in any way so for now this tentative deal yes it. does not go to help in greece and spain unless we we need this kind of agreement that it's not only a sense of the terrain. to be to mother to learn fault but also state interest let's suppose that this happens then yes it might help to put more to. say. probably it's much better to throw money at them saying we want to punish and kind of like this we do not participate at the same time or do not mix. at that you know group countries 300 pilots on duty buying this deal which is monitoring the end and i think that migration can be dealt with more of the number of. countries that want it but are disputing any deal that can alleviate the pressure on 1st countries
2:43 am
arrival should ease days not huge consensus on these despite these kind of 1st steps and so even germany and france are some will be pushed but it will not be computed right now at least and by the narrative of crisis that really wasn't enough to say well you know backtracking and be backtracking a bit and maybe going back to this international force so yes there is some way out of these prices it will be willing to take my missteps underway for years a theory here on inside story we've just been joined from birmingham by mario. a research on violence and boarders at the university of birmingham welcome to you here on the program we've kind of established in the past 25 minutes or so that this is a a domino a chain of responsibility to make this draft deal work and function properly within that chain which country or which countries reaction is the weakest link for
2:44 am
you it's a bit complicated but a thing this reaction is that what it's telling because they don't seem to have an actual plan that or we respect human rights. but at the end of the day it's the e.u.'s responsibility to takes to take some action and actually something how can it be made to work. her. i'm not sure that it can work if we're speaking about they get their kid there then it's not going to work it's not working because all the responsibility has fallen on grey's grace is incapable of doing anything and i'm not sure it's willing to do anything and they you at the same time they do seem stale and willing to do something and we have seen this with. the agreement that they have made with italy and libya their grandmother they have made in grace so i'm not sure that they're actually have said their minds on finding a solution we're talking about the e.u.
2:45 am
turkey deal bets a little bit of agenda we're also talking about this new draft deal that they will start talking about early next week who is the main driving force behind that and are you convinced that they can deliver on the mend some that they need to deliver on to make it a success. no i am not convinced that they will find a solution and they will make a success out of any detail because they don't seem to be willing to find a solution so i am. unless i see the actual day less the talks start and lead we have the final draft and the final agreement then all i can say is that i think it's going to be a failure who do you think you know the past has shown us pardon me for interrupting you that who do you think will win out here the lobby that seems to say send them home or and maybe deal with the issues back home wherever home
2:46 am
is or welcome them to europe but move them around within europe and then process the paperwork i think the love with us send them back with wayne but it's not going to be successful because in order to send them back they 1st have to establish that where this and the bike is a is a safe place. and. the country that will accept them back should actually accept them because this is how bilateral agreements are book and i'm not sure that it's going to happen. at the end of the day here because should should get some search should have the for the final response a break then people should be distributed and get out because if they some of them bog their lives are not safe because at least those who are and greece the majority of them are refugees that are not economic migrants are or however they want to call them ok we have to leave it there thanks to all our guests today they were removed. the lucky and thank you to you 2 for your company you can see the program

2:49 am
coming up in the next 60 minutes. started. the by. donald trump calls on ukraine and china it's a stance of prole against joel parkinson top democrats say he's breach the oath of office. to. a sharp escalation in violence as iraqi security forces far to the side and government protesters at least 31 people have been killed since tuesday. in london with the top stories from europe including 4 people were killed during a knife attack at the central police headquarters in paris. and i'm sorry it's not the world athletics championships where there are sport titles up for grabs on thursday to have tap water and to cap honor coming to a finish with a tight contest expected in both.
2:50 am
the us the presidential impeachment inquiry ramps donald trump past night drag china into the growing list of countries gets in coats in the control of a seat speaking to reporters outside the white house trump's aides china she starts an investigation into the bite since as a trade talks between the super powers are set new ukraine is truly are the other 2 countries trump is said to have approached for political help. they should investigate the bike because that is a company that really formed well these companies that you look at and by the way likewise china just started investigation into the bike because what happened to john is just about as bad as what happened with. with ukraine so i would say that presidents alinsky. if it were me i would recommend that they
2:51 am
start an investigation into the device because nobody has any doubt that they were working well the u.s. has intelligence committee chairman says trump's request for china to prove by its own is a fundamental breach of his oath of office this all comes on a day former u.s. special envoy to ukraine has appeared before 3 committees as part soul of the presidential impeachment inquiry volcker is the 1st key official to testify as investigations into trump's dealings with ukraine ramp up well heidi jocasta on capitol hill shortly where the hearing is taking place but 1st let's get the latest from our white house correspondents kimberly whole kits kimberly we've been hearing from calling for china and ukraine to investigate this and in the last few minutes we've been hearing from the vice president mike pence. yeah
2:52 am
donald trump certainly defiant as he spoke to reporters leaving from the white house south lawn in this way to florida to talk about health care saying that there's nothing wrong with a phone call that he held back in july with the ukrainian leader of lot a mere selenski he further says that he believes as we played there in that sound bite that there should be an investigation in the perhaps china should join in but wading into all of this now instead of this controversy is vice president mike pence he had fact says that this investigation should end in his view and he believes that it is worth looking into the work that was done by former vice president joe biden's son hunter biden when he connected with an energy company in ukraine now we should point out for the bidens parts vice president biden has been speaking about this maintaining that numerous media outlets have looked at his son's activities in ukraine well he was the vice president of there was nothing
2:53 am
nefarious done and there's no evidence to prove this still to the contrary the u.s. vice president or rather the u.s. president and now the u.s. vice president maintaining that it's worth investigating ok kimberly very much indeed liz cross-ties to capitol hill where the cool store hearing is taking presents where we can find heidi jus castro see what's happening where you are. so the closer test to more or more special on weight her purse still continues here in capitol hill very little information is coming out at the moment but we did hear from the house intelligence committee chairman adam schiff who reacted to the latest news of trump now inviting china to interfere as well. i think. once the president played the country here it was that you were elected president. in the. fundamental. danger because of our election.
2:54 am
and. the idea that americans should do this. leaves america. already. and adam schiff is now back in that closed door hearing with her volcker volcker could prove to be a pivotal witness for democrats and their impeachment inquiry efforts volcker resigned from his government post last week just hours after his name came up in the whistleblower reports that accused trump of pushing ukraine's president to open this investigation into joe biden and saying that her volcker a special envoy to ukraine was part of that effort having been sent to ukraine the day after this call was made to try to help ukrainian officials navigate trumps demands now volcker has been seen as a career professional in the foreign service he did resign as soon as this came to
2:55 am
light yesterday last week and so democrats are hoping that he will have an open and honest testimony with them today he did bring quite a few documents this morning which may detail communications that he had with the white house and may shed some light on what exactly the president's thinking was when he laid on that pressure whether or not trump as democrats believe was trying to use a military aid package to occur to you crane as leverage to get the ukrainians to comply a law ok thank you very much in deed swallows all of this unfold donald trump is speaking the law is of a campaign rally in florida of the amounts in the the issue of this impeachment's and. he will certainly be among his many talking points let's stay with this and bring in brett bruton in huntington west virginia he says say director of global in
2:56 am
gage vents in the white house sons of president barack obama kids have you with us on the program read. adam schiff said that trumps ukraine and china comments were repugnant and a fundamental breach of his oath of office are they i would have to agree with chairmanship it was not just disturbing it is deeply damaging and dangerous for the national security of the united states i know that folks are comparing it to trump's comments during his 2016 campaign when he invited did russia if they were listening to go and hacked into hillary clinton's e-mail server but he is now the president of the united states you standing on the south lawn of the white house and he's issuing an invitation to a foreign country one with whom we have a very adversarial relationship to come even in metal you know our elections but i mean how to serving in the damaging is that likely to be yes he's the president but
2:57 am
you could argue that all of this is price tends to. price sense of him as a candidate could because he is running in 2020 regard lists of whether he gets an peached or not and his base love it his base like the way he talks he likes all the things that that he does and they and they're buying his version of events and this that he's actually trying to uncover corruption but the biden's. well for our viewers around the world let me bring you into american democracy where presidents public officials do not get to use the resources of public office to the benefit of their political campaign we have very strict rules and laws to this effect donald trump is running afoul of those laws he has been in breach not only of campaign laws by soliciting help from foreign governments but
2:58 am
let's also remember there is a national security element to what he is doing not only with ukraine but certainly we it's china and he's doing this under a. pretense of somehow looking out for international corruption and yet the only case that he seems to focus on is that of his principal political opponent what would respect that hasn't been proved yet this impeachment inquiry is still underway and a republican the republican side of the very polarized congress that you have don't want to appear to be seem to be to be criticizing this they they don't appear to think they done anything wrong in fact well they're not president or vice silent on this issue after the president vice president mike pence defective parts and he's he's called for an end to endless investigations and he said that he thinks it is worth looking at her biden's work in ukraine he says this is just have
2:59 am
to hold up. when you have to hold up the guy that you were pressuring the president of ukraine to same no he isn't pressuring me really he's not and then you old up your vice president but when you look at the rest of the republican leadership there are not very vigorous voices out there defending the president defending what he has done it is radio silence and you have public opinion here in the u.s. that for your viewers around the world it's important to point out is now shifted for in favor of impeachment and of this inquiry so i think you are seeing an important turn of events which is respect to where the american people are on this issue and but this is all taking place in the run up to an election and donald trump he's survived scandal before he is and he is remarkably effective at
3:00 am
communicating with the public he could so pull off another upset so is the democratic party not worried that you know you may have lower nords over on your sites and this but with such a diverse fields and in them attacking each other are you going to be able to defeat president trump and 2020 well i do agree with you on this point the democrats thus far in the 1st 9 months of their control of the house of representatives have not demonstrated a great strategy or tactics when it comes to going after president trump will have to wait and see how this issue plays out but i do worry that the democrats have had so many difficulties when it comes to trying to pin problems on president trump but on top of that issue there is a fueling if i can try to convey.
