8:05 pm
airplane which is a huge mistake in in a v.a. ssion design but also it apportion blame to the maintenance because that the airplane that was involved in the crash. exhibited the same problems the day before and they say that the airplane should have been grounded for further tests and it also a portion some blame to the pilots however i think the pilots were disserved by boeing because the information about the impasse system was not included in the training manuals in boeing specifically made an effort to downplay the necessity of additional training for pilots that were transitioning from the 7 previous 737 version a 737 in g 2 the 737 max so it doesn't look good for everybody frankly but i think boeing is going to take

8:23 pm
attracted national and international interest and it's absolutely imperative that the operation is conducted with the utmost respect for the 39 people who have lost their lives a 25 year old driver has been arrested on suspicion of murder it's believed he drove the front part of the truck from northern ireland to pick up the container which is registered in bulgaria to an irish woman piece of raided 3 properties in northern ireland they believe a link to the case british prime minister bars johnson promised to bring those responsible to justice this is an unimaginable tragedy and truly heartbreaking i know that the thoughts and prayers of all members are with those who lost their lives and their loved ones belgium's federal prosecutor has opened its own investigation after the contain a pass through the belgian port of the blue collar britain as one of the country it could become a new frontier for people smuggling although scanners have been installed to detect people officials at the harbor admit there's little they can do to stop them. the
8:24 pm
case echoes the deaths the 58 chinese nationals who suffocated in a sealed container in dover in 2000 britain's national crime agency reported nearly 7000 potential victims of human trafficking and modern slavery last year up by 36 percent from 2007 team rights groups say people smuggling is becoming increasingly lucrative in europe and they warn what happened in essex may not be the last car leg for inside story let's take a closer look at the trade in human trafficking nearly 172 countries are part of a chain that exploits and enslaves war than 40000000 people a year for a veto 1000. and people in the world nearly $54.00 are victims of modern slavery with a quarter being children and it's a big business for the traffickers the world economic forum as to mace it's worth 150000000000 dollars globally.
8:25 pm
now over to our panel in brussels joining us on sky julia garner and he'll migration and asylum policy analyst of the open society european policy institute in london lucy a senior analyst at the global initiative against transnational organized crime in belgrade also on skype yelena hernia the program manager at tina an organization working alongside of a social protection system in serbia to protect victims of human trafficking welcome to your julia when you have 39 people found dead in a container clearly it is something completely a ball with the checks here they said they get me wrong with the checks that's for sure but there's also something completely wrong with the system that produced the tragedy and i mean it's very heartening to hear that the prime minister or great britain has. cracked down on the people smugglers and traffic is responsible for
8:26 pm
those deaths and has also. brought some plant prayers to victims' families. but the problem here is as you mentioned in the introduction that it is getting increasingly dangerous all migrants refugees and other displaced people can reach europe and despite the fact that these people are needed and not by the economy in europe there are very few legal ways for them to reach the countries where their labor will then be used and that is why a lot of people are. seeking to. enter the u.s. . and other countries more broadly. so i think that the problem isn't just. checks on the various routes. we need dangerous precisely because of the checks i mean the reason we're now seeing the group emerging is that as a trend in route from the mainland to europe a person is because of the crackdown and come and go. and i think we need to get
8:27 pm
real about that that's. fine the way to be able to do so without suffering any of that 9 people who are listening the fact that the train a ride by a ferry from belgium puts calls into question security procedures of course i can only echo units that have which is yes the security procedures clearly didn't detect this however given the volume of freight containers and other vehicles turn crossing these borders it is extremely difficult for them to identify every single age content of the cargo and actually we should be taking a more macro perspective and looking at why more and more people are being forced to take these routes and it is because as already noted safe and legal routes are shrinking. you know you've been working to protect victims of human trafficking
8:28 pm
from your own perspective what do you think went wrong here and the 1st thing that is wrong is that we are speaking about the issue when the things happen like the thing that happened that people died it's wrong to just think about it when you know like bad things already happen. as you know this is not the 1st time in you know p. and union we had several of cases the similar cases with also huge numbers of people and the idea suffocate or died during tend to cross the border certain things should be done 1st of all the interests of smugglers and particular state got governmental governments shouldn't be the same you know like it seems like all the governments wants just to see migrants out of the country and not so many of them. are having some like.
8:29 pm
or of actions to. actually like stop stop the smuggling in the sense also to change their point of policies and to make life easier or for people . as you know wake we testified to huge migrant crisis that began in 2050 and we are also we testified to the closure of balkan routes but still people are coming and people are finding their ways how to cross the border and how to get to. julia how does what is baffling to me at least i mean this is happening in europe not in sub-saharan africa and then you would assume that when a trailer is loaded into a boat policeman or custom officers should be pretty much involved to ensure what is happening inside that trader instead of just ensuring whether there is
8:30 pm
a seal in the back of the trader. so. but as far as there how do you get from it does national institute programs crime mentioned i mean it's impossible for border guards to control every single piece of freight moving across the european union any we're talking you know tens of millions every day. so what we should have is a system in place which ensures that if there is a demand the migrant labor incessant back of the economy in certain countries there is a means and a way to these people. and we don't have that in the majority in european countries the problem with just focusing on the law enforcement angle is that reinforces that there is a problem there that this comprise marriot mix of misers the migrants and migrants act up the room will they decide to move and they don't meet demand because they. are better opportunity and then it also generally the crackdown gets the lowest ratings and pain but not the king running that works. and then finally
8:31 pm
it often these do you know gross judicial practice in italy it's quite routine prosecutors to arrest the so-called traffickers on. migrant boats but we don't normally then not actually traffic as there are actually the my could who at that moment when they were arrested happened to be holding the killer though there's a whole series of problems with that approach and that's why i said we need to more which cards in naples migrate with our eyes but also to read it means. i see a point listen we're putting some emphasis here all the checks for the reason that people are saying for example that if the clamp down of the cully dover is working white on those procedures replicated elsewhere a key least to ensure that with protect the victims the migrants. well to date the focus of european approaches here has been on border control and that isn't working because it doesn't stop movements it just displaces it as we're
8:32 pm
seeing here and routes will continue to fragment to move away from groups that have been closed off and actually it increases the protection risks for for the migrants and the refugee is and we see more and more tragedies like this so. of course calls for greater border checks are understandable but those calls have been repeated for years and years and they are not working we need a different approach. your country has been destroyed as a source transit and destination country for children women trafficked for sex sure they were exploitation do you think that with focused for many years all migrants and we suddenly forgot that the root issue here is the need to figure out how to deal with organized crime guns. yes i think that the focus of the authorities should be the perpetrators the 1st and then they should take care of of the
8:33 pm
migrants also i have to talk emphasize the part of going to reason when it comes to the smuggling i really have to emphasize that because when you're speaking with migrants they would say to you yes you know i gave my consent to or i don't know go to do that place or that there is but no where they gave the consent you know to or . to me to end up in you know like some lorry or 2 or to die in such a tragic tragic wage so we have to make a really clear distinctions between you know on what migrants are giving their consent and what not also when we are interviewing them they say that they were quite arest by smugglers to do certain things so quite heirship to commit to criminal activities is a human trafficking for itself so this is something that we really need to be
8:34 pm
careful about when we are discussing this issue here by you know when people are in a really hard position it's really easy actually talk wears them to to commit the.
