if you look at the good. news. this is it it really was live from berlin hope for migrants stuck at sea three days after their rescue ship was refused entry to european ports the lifeline now has permission to dock in malta after other communications offered should accept some of the hundreds of people on board also coming up a day times eritrean diplomats visit ethiopia as the two neighbors seek to result dictates of hostility i'll ask an expert of the bold initiative by ethiopia's new prime minister will pay off and the world cup drama as two iberian heavyweights

jostled for a top spot in group b. spain struggled with morocco on portugal steve dolfin late scare from iran. iraq thanks very much for your company everyone italy's prime minister just epic on today has announced that the latest migrant rescue ship to be turned away by several european countries including his own will be allowed to dock in malta malta has also previously turned away the lifeline and has not confirmed mr conti's statement accepting some of the two hundred migrants on board the vessel would represent a major about face for italy which has recently toughened its stance on migration. sea sick malnourished and facing conditions the organization operating the ship

have called a disaster. these migrants have been waiting for a port of call since being rescued off libya's coast on thursday. the german operated vessel lifeline refused entry by spain and italy. the ngo has warned the situation on board is critical. you know situation it's getting worse and i would say we also. see this night. he needs. to clean so in the last minutes he could be. seasick italy's hardline interior minister wants to cut off the flow of migrants before they even put to sea he's been in libya calling for reception centers to screen arrivals in neighboring chad and sudan. the target government will support the need to protect the external borders south

of libya because libya i mean clearly alone cannot sustain the economic and social costs of this immigration and. libya also wants to see the migrants dealt with elsewhere. we do that if. we agree with the europeans on many matters related to illegal immigration. however we categorically reject the existence of any migrants inside libya and the cool their human. friends now says a european solution is near malta is reportedly willing to open its ports to the migrants the ngos says they will run out of food and water in two days. and europe's for me and europe remains very conflicted about how best to deal with this issue w. news behrendt records is in brussels and can tell us some more apparent good to see

you this is starting to feel a lot like groundhog day except of course that moscow has changed its mind about allowing the lifeline to dock. but in the end mulder does not have much choice then excepting the boat interests and let them dog because legally they can only refuse this entry if there's a disease onboard or if the terror threat but this is not the case. of course and because this ship the lifeline if there's an emergency on board they have to be able to enter the harbor this question is what happens next can these people on board actually enter into malta can they leave the boat when it is docked in malta and only some countries like france and italy that say we might take some of these migrants but they didn't give any number they didn't give any time so the fate of these people is still up in arms now the way italy is going about this riegert

dealing with this issue is quite questionable but is this right wing government achieving what so many summits in brussels have failed to do get other in member states to do their share. but from an italian point of view of course the new government does deliver because they say we don't lead in the magazine we won't do what the other governments did but if you see it in a vital picture italy's obliged to deal with these margins because italy is responsible for the rescue operation zone between italy and libya and the italian navy is coordinating all these rescue efforts is also could be coordinating what the private ships like life flying a doing that it's not that i found is acting on itself so it's a kind of responsibility for for the italian government as well and the conscious say be drop it and if you want to be perceived as a bully of course you can act like materials you need but i am very much in doubt of this solution is actually sustainable ok well let's talk

a little bit more about that because in the meantime the migrants are caught in the middle in terms of policy is the e.u. trying to go beyond just saving the next boat reaching european shores but in today's time on thursday the leaders are meeting in brussels to talk about migration and to come up with some. attempts to have in european solution but they doing this since three years now and there's not much hope that they will come up with something concrete because the problem is so complex and all the ideas in the making now they want basically to secure the external borders better and to deter migrants even to make the trip from libya to italy over the mediterranean their reception center as if that could be established in libya or within the you but nobody knows exactly how that should work and it will take months and years to establish that and also you have to see that the drivers in spain are going up so

migrants will have a will find another route to get to europe this issue not going away any time soon correspondent bantry good reporting from brussels thank you. for now earth trillions are some of the most prominent migrants trying to reach europe but peace overtures from eritrea as neighbor is the opium could set to improve conditions in the east african nation eritrea and diplomats have travel to disavow before talks following an invitation from the ethiopian prime minister all this raise hopes that decades of conflict and hostility between the two neighbors could be drawing to an end. this is bad may in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight. after eritrea sees the territory that launched a fierce offensive to keep its southern neighbor ethiopia from the town. it would all be in vain in the end after heavy casualties on both sides. ethiopia want to

string of military victories which saw its troops move into the disputed territory . the conflict between the two countries left tens of thousands dead or injured in the space of just two years. as the war spread so did the massive displacement of communities today many eritreans are among the migrants risking the dangerous journey in hopes of making it to europe. many are fleeing the country because of compulsory military service that has been described by human rights groups as harsh the eritrean government says it forces conscription because it needs a constant large army to defend itself in the conflict with ethiopia. but the talks between the two sides could move the conflict towards a peaceful resolution pulling a peace gesture from addis ababa. under the new prime minister if the o.p.'s says it will recognize a two thousand and two ruling on the border between the two countries part of the

ruling handed the border town of bad may to eritrea. well our joining me now here in our berlin studio is. she is president of the german african foundation a very warm welcome it's good to have a year with us is this a potential breakthrough in bilateral relations between eritrea and ethiopia well i hope so because this is indeed a historic moment. personally i'm very happy because after all it is by second homes though it is a i mean they have for quite some time but i haven't been there for the last fifteen years so everybody who is familiar with the horn of africa has waited for this day to come that every trains and theo pins are need and thanks to the new prime minister that t. in his inaugural speech invited eritreans and excepted the border

ruling which was decided the hague commission the boundary commission some years ago i think this was so far the stumbling step you have for the every trains and now he accepted and want to implement the decision and i think this opened the door for the eritreans to accept to to come to us so because there have been peace efforts in the past but you think this time is different well to my knowledge they have not been by letter a diplomatic meetings within the last two decades yeah there are no embassies in either side so there were no official meetings and this indeed is the first really honest effort that i that i know of. resawing in our report we're also talking about lot of young eritreans trying to

make the perilous journey to europe you've lived in eritrea talk to us a little bit describe what life is like for a young eritrean well it is it is a small country conditions are so to say i mean from from climate climate wise but the reason why area trains are fleeing their country i think there are two. one is that there is this military conscription and people young people have to stay in the army without knowing when they can leave this is one group and the other group is that the dissidents are not welcomed well this is very and mike lee said they there is there are political prisoners and i think dissidents who do not agree with the policy they cannot really speak their mind so they also leave their country in

order not to be put in jail so i think these if these two problems lose and so to say by now this open politics of the if you open side it might encourage every train site to follow a similar path i would hope so just very briefly ten seconds so do you think eritrea will become less repressive than it is at the moment well the reason for being repressive are now loosening so i think we it is the first step even in the right direction and i hope at the end there will be peace and stability and good neighborliness. i thank you so very much a president of the german african foundation for weighing in with the feeling come . as the world cup for our at the world cup i should say on monday teams in
