5:07 pm

5:08 pm
that god for the european commission president has called on the e u. t. and nice. and then with the migrant crisis. incentive on today and is on the italian island of long producer, which has received an unprecedented number of asylum seekers. the united nation says 8500 people arrived on the island this week alone. it's least prime minister georgie and maloney has promised tough emissions to day, but the influx, wonderland says the age you needs to step off its efforts to stop traffic is prime minister maloney and i are here today to offer a co ordinated response by the tell you and to europe in authorities, and i want to be very clear as we have an obligation as part of the international
5:09 pm
community. we have fulfilled it in the past and we will do so today and in the future. but we will decide who comes to the european union and under what circumstances and not the smugglers and traffic, cuz that's what they sell. the most island is a 145 kind of me has off the coast attendance here and has long been a landing point for people crossing from north africa. many of the latest arrivals have been making the dangerous journey by boat, from tennessee, a more than a 120000 migrants have arrived on as a new shows so far this year that is almost double the same period last year. the european union system live on so mainly from ivory coast egypt and guinea, and aflame violence and economic to him. while power forces has moved from producer as a sort of on the line did speak about potential further action by you in terms of
5:10 pm
naval activity. she said maybe purchasing some of that or even some new emissions as well. but i think it would be a big stretch to think that she would sanction the kind of thing that told him that he was talking about, which was sending boats straight back, given that even among the written policy, people accepted in maybe 10 percent of genuine asylum seekers among those coming to these shows, sending them straight back to potentially dangerous territories would be a big stretch for the to accept. however, the tournament on these points, one of the major points she made was that this is a european frontier, not just in italian, one, requiring a european solution. that is something that sort of on demand very much at code questions though in her 10 point plan. exactly what one of the language means when, what kind of time table, what kind of numbers, what kind of advocacy, all of that remains to be consolidated really away from the politics. so let's just speak about the community and situation. currently also that massive search. last week i'm joined by francesca by the lady who is the red cross of italy's head of
5:11 pm
migration. you've obviously been focused on this for some months. had you ever seen anything like what happened last week and how does the situation now one sunday compared to what you saw then? but as it tanya was cross, we started managing the reception center here in lump. it was at the beginning of june, and this was the higher peak this we reached during our period the here in the island . it's a force on not to only think to direct cordial, are linked to the numbers, but it's very important to remember that besides this number, there are people. so what we need from the very 1st moment and no matter how many people we receive, let's, let's, we can also we can say that in one day we hosted inside the reception center. more than 6000 people. that's got the to the island. and we've the more than 100 search and rescue events, what we need is to try to respond to their basic needs. so even if it was challenging, because managing with so many people together is that easy?
5:12 pm
but, and also to focus on going in abilities from the very beginning. north korean leader kim jong is on his way back, call him off to a 5 day visit to russia's far east. before leaving, he attended a valet performance instead of all stock cabinet president vladimir putin, an inspector of several military science during the trip and number of countries, a concert, and north korea could provide russia with weapons for its war and ukraine. us and russia has shelves, 9 ukrainian communities located in the northeast, and assume a region 10 remote has and 10 crowns of being 5 daily in the area. zane bus robbie reports from the boarder regence assume a region has one of the longest continuous borders with russia. but unlike many of the areas in the east, there is no active front line in the same way. there isn't as much contested space so you don't see troop movements or trenches or tanks in the same way as you might
5:13 pm
in the eastern part of the country, but seems like this and civilian areas are far too common, residents living and see me and the surrounding areas say they come under attack on a near daily basis. what we're seeing today is clearing work, debris being cleared from a residence that was showed about 10 days ago. now, in the aftermath of this attack, russian social media, people here say, was saying that what was destroyed in this neighborhood, a primarily residential neighborhood was in fact a ukrainian military production facility of some kind. but the residents here say that that is too ridiculous to even respond to. we've seen nothing to indicate that there might have been any sort of military manufacturing here. this is very much a home. we're seeing personal belongings and food stores. and we spoke to the owner of this house, a 71 year old man. him and a 65 year old wife were trapped under the debris when the attack here happens, debris that is now being cleared. they were rescued from the debris from the rubble . the man says it's a miracle that he's alive. unfortunately,
5:14 pm
his wife was killed as a result of her injuries. when we ask him about the reports with regards to what the russians were accusing the space of being, he couldn't even respond. and he broke down crying. what he said was that ukrainians here don't wants to hurt russians, but they do wants to work to be over as soon as possible. and what they want is justice for what they have experience since the invasion of ukraine zane prescribe the ultra 0, assuming the still ahead on algebra is rarely false as violently confront. allison in worship is near the ox, the most compelling to the occupied east, jerusalem. and we travel with a teams to remote mountain villages in the rock of when many a still waiting for help off. last week's us quake the

5:16 pm
so we saw the temperature is get up to about 36. never before has it been this hot this late in the year? well, and this weather report in this part of southeast asia where a seasonal rains or something further towards the south. so it looks like a saga forecast, pretty much anywhere you go. hon. fornia of island c the, the, [000:00:00;00]
5:17 pm
the, [000:00:00;00] the you're watching, i would say are with me, elizabeth toronto mendoza. i have a mind about top stories. the sounds that you are paying commission president s and the one delay and has visited. it's nice long to do some island. she paid tribute to local the same. they do all they can to support the on president and number of refugees and my friends have live in some parts of africa. it's been a week since devastating floods in libya, killed thousands of people for an 8 has arrived in the country,
5:18 pm
but it's been slow to reach the worst areas. tens of thousands of being displaced. the aid work has a face in huge challenges and delivering health to remote villages and the bulk of as high atlas mountains, those communities. but some of the hardest hit my last week's of quick question. the whole bought a travel with moroccan, a team, some, as he found out, some of the villages can only be reached by foot. a lot the most of the office going is going to her mission checklist. she's the pilot of this had a cup to win. a mission today to deliver generate is to remote villages a morocco's high outlasts mountains. a she takes all the across the exact it's way through the strong winds. when we land may just came to a brief rest to us on the square kit areas requiring attention,
5:19 pm
he leads the team with special forces, trained on the most delicate rescue emissions. how little the devastated area is located. 1800 meters above sea level. we are talking about the toughest drain in morocco, where access is extremely difficult and sometimes impossible, developed the wireless bodies distort comedies show up asking for how will those like these have been the biggest obstacle to the rest to your operations. the moment they came tumbling down right after the earthquake, they blocked access to the main villages in the balance in this areas. now the medical teens have up sort of, you know, other option, but to walk down the valley and try to climb the mountains. all the way to was the death of the devastated areas hoping to be able to reach the victims. i still need immediate house. co new the la todd. it runs admitted to hospice and investigative casablanca. but today,
5:20 pm
he's on foot treating the one that i'm showing that's the members to you. we walked long hours to get to villages so we can treat people. but at the same time we're checking those who have chronic health issues. we give them medicine. we are also psychologist dealing with patients who are mentally traumatized as the buttons supposed to have our deep last is shown desperate. so how is this still hold to by the who risk moments last week of the way the season? so i cannot find the right words that describe what happened during the earthquake . as soon as the ground shook, it was dark. we didn't know what to do or wait, you guns. for now, people here spend that time outdoors. they say they don't want to leave the land of there and says to go back to the rescue operation. the designer is using this type of medic offices because it's good then on the bill.
5:21 pm
they go ahead. it comes with dental for them to pick a video the ones that are taken to this, how the cop to us with light over the at the center of the, of the way, the extent of the damage becomes clear. entire villages that stood for generations, a know in ruins. as you mount butler, i was just you see with it it's south of mount. i guess stephanie deca has also been traveling it through morocco's atlas mountains. she sent us this report, walking into visa, pulverized mountain villages. here you see a tree up rooted, moss and boulders that have fallen down this way. and that is what happened to this part of the village. you actually had a piece of the mountain, but came down pulverizing the bandages in this area. we've seen one mind just
5:22 pm
looking past us in floods of tears. since the many people walking back into this village and trying to solve is what they can buy hot and it's over a week. now. since the earthquake, there are pledges commitments for rebuilding money to be given to those effected bulldozers are moving to certain places. but there are so many places that we have been to that is very difficult to read with heavy machinery. in fact here, just walking along and you can see how the the road has given way. it's just devastating to see the extent of the damage and many of these villages will never be returning to this place a home that therefore a father is lived in for generations, the mountain that sustain them for generations. now it seems they're going to have to move on. stephanie decker
5:23 pm
o g 0 in morocco's to us mountains is rarely forces have bond that they can function. palestinian worship is near the locks the most compound and occupied east. jerusalem is filled with women and prevented young men from entering the last area. hundreds of all from nationalist has raised made an incursion into the ox, a courtyards cold weather and has moved from occupied east jerusalem to the women that we see in that video. all members of a group home roberts hats. and they are women who are pledge to protect the alex a mosque i sold the woman with a pale lipid prince golfing spectacles, appear actually on wednesday, making a social media video pledging to protect the most. i said these on members of the general public, these are women who are remonstrated with. those has very soldiers and demanding access. but the reason why they were remonstrated with the soldiers is because this weekend is rush, an avi israel, the the jewish new. yeah. and again,
5:24 pm
as happens on so many days of jewish fluoride settlers, the nationalist had been assaulted into the area of the alexa mosque. it's called an incursion because it's done without the permission of the wax, which is the jordanian palestinian group, which organizes would organize such visits. and it creates enormous tension and enormous. i'm, i'm talking isn't as well with those people who are watching at the most enough the most the arrest that we saw. i think most likely we haven't heard from the police about this, but the rest on days like today, young man, in the twenty's and thirty's, i prevent them from accessing the most. because very often it's the young man whose tempest get the best of all of them. and to confront these jewish nationalist incursions and so they are bound. so i suspect that the young man that we saw being arrested was one of those who perhaps slipped through the match and the police were taking him away. but it is suspected, i mean on the one hand you can say the police are doing a very good job of keeping the piece. but on the other hand,
5:25 pm
from the side of the palestinian perspective, you can say that they are essentially strengthening the states as career by facilitating these visits by jewish settlers onto this holy size. to a hosting delegation is an re on so piece talks with the solve the government and the conflict in yemen. visit raises, hopes of a breakthrough in the war that's killed thousands of people since 2015. mohammed vaughan has more with the invoice of officially hosted in solid. the idea for the 1st time since the war began. many see this as a major step towards the syndrome and it took years of diplomatic effect by anybody on the agenda of the talks and who will participate isn't clear. many are surprised, but that you want to recognize government in exile, isn't taking part. so thought i'd start with you at a, be a trying to reach a settlement with the, with ease,
5:26 pm
but obviously the months include lifting the saudi lead cj to allow for the reopening of who if he controlled ports on some airport payment of wages, of public servants on the whole field from oil avenue, was he building efforts at the time line 4 foot and forces to quit gym. and when i'm talking about the or the delegation of sun, i go to any thoughts they go on. the wheeling actually hold any piece um they are willing to end the war, but no actually is in the hands of this. oh, the idea if they want these in yemen, they should expect the business. so the idea if they would continue the blockade they should expect made that attack on the oh yeah, if i select in the yard, hasn't denounced its own list of conditions though, and it's not clear to what extent it's going to comply with, hopefully the month's a comprehensive fees, elastic piece is not likely to result from this visit any way. in fact, if anything, there may be signals here that there is
5:27 pm
a kind of resignation on the part of all the key players, regional and international that um, perhaps the divisions in yemen are, are here to say, uh that each side has given up on their maximum of goals, saudi arabia has been trying to get out of human for some time. i saw what do you got on deals brokered by china earlier this year was seen as a step in that direction. it comes up to nearly a decade of fighting that goes to on fox hosting alicia remove the legitimate government from pilot in 2014 and took over the copies of sons and most of northern gym and by force. the purpose of the saudi campaign was to reverse that situation, but that goal wasn't achieved, and the war led to hundreds of thousands of losing their lives and the major humanitarian disaster. following the peace deal with the on in march,
5:28 pm
saudi arabia conducted the major prisoners swap with host these involving hundreds of soldiers on both sides. the u. s. has well come the new round of negotiations you're on is understood to be on board to but many believe that for any final solution to the conflict, the game and these themselves need to feel represented across the board. how much fun does. yeah. the dominican republic has closed as photo with haiti because haiti is building canal from a shed river. john holman, has the story from the city of the hubble and the dominican republic to buy land by a troops have been arriving in large numbers to reinforce the dominican republic school to since the country closed it to haiti. these neighbors who share a noise in the voice of the tents relationship. but now that the minute republic is taking it to the next level,
5:29 pm
it's because of this canal that haitian problem is digging into the most sac river, which the 2 country share. they say they need it to irrigate the drought headlines . the projects become a source of local cried the. it's a wonderful initiative. i'm. here's a stone where the situation of our country is critical. so we have to put our heads to book to get the canal done, so that our country has food for the dominican president, isn't happy. he says it thought the river from dominican lands and that he won't open the buddha till they stop digging with the scandal many haitian migrants and the dominican republic say that facing hostilities many going back home. this is a key with a deductible border crossing with american officials are allowing them to cross back into haiti. romano. charlie told us that dominican police and immigration officers kicked over and have 4 children outside living space in the middle of the night. 3 times this week. they dropped as while we was sleeping and throws out with
