course of the entire past year we've rescued sixteen thousand people but this year after just seven months the number has already climbed to twenty two thousand. metres. the ship carrying the rescued migrants docked at the nearby port of august the rest instead but the situation there is no better the migrants had been stuck on the ship for days now they're on land looking for shady places to rest. a few kilometers away jose antonio gomez is waiting for the daily food delivery more than six hundred rescued people were brought to this gym over the weekend. they called us on saturday and then the people came they were simply too many of them. local authorities are responsible for looking after those arriving at the

church has prepared food volunteers are helping out but people are getting impatient. we aren't eating well we don't have a proper place to sleep to aren't enough clothes and we can't call our families to reassure them that we're still alive. spanish authorities are overwhelmed after talking to migrants it's clear that the strait of gibraltar is gaining in popularity as a crossing point. i was going from ivory coast to libya but they told me that morocco would be a better idea. refugees want to go to spain before they chose libya or italy. just thirteen kilometers lie between africa and europe at spain's southernmost tip . spain once again has become the gateway to europe for many thousands of migrants it's not the first time and there are reasons it didn't have

change much either i was morocco is busy dealing with domestic issues it can spare the energy to watch its borders it's time to make a deal again. larkspur was there reporting from southern spain now to a major change in germany's treatment of asylum seekers the southern state of bavaria has opened controversial rapid processing centers for migrants so-called anchor centers or part of interior minister hall so the hope is disputed plans to reduce the numbers of migrants arriving in the country the government says the centers are designed to speed up asylum process in the aim is for each case to be decided within eighteen months asylum seekers whose claims are rejected would then be deported from the centers critics say concentrating so many asylum seekers in one place could hinder integration and lead to the rest. well to help put this in

perspective we're joined by political correspondent kate brady so tell us kate how much of a change these centers represent in the way that germany deals with asylum seekers well the sense is quite literally put the entire asylum application process at least at the moment but the area under one roof says the registration the application and the final decision to grant asylum or not and the authority is saying that that aim at least of the senses is to speed up the application process far siloam because there are also concerns particularly when it comes to dating life or side them seek as he will be living in the center of course they are allowed to move around the area but they're not allowed to come and go as they please so there has been some criticism with some people comparing the census to jail or even detention center is now the senate right now or only in bavaria they are the brainchild of the bavarian in the now and federal interior minister for the

last hosts the whole for any chance briefly if you can of these centers being replayed elsewhere in germany or in the e.u. for that well this is a pilot scheme that's expected to last around six months and there's been very little interest from other german states at the moment and it's even being touted in brussels. as a possible measure across the european union but that some of the biggest criticism has come from this concern that the census will actually hinder integration for asylum seekers of course time spent at the center this time that could have been spent in german society and learning german for example kate thank you so much t w political correspondent kate brady. facebook has uncovered what it says is a coordinated campaign to influence u.s. mid-term elections in november the company says it has removed more than thirty pages it is aimed to mislead users facebook stopped short of identifying the source of the misinformation in february the u.s.

us even when we wear these clothes which would normally protect us this can sometimes get on your nerves. we sweat and we can only get our fluid levels back by regularly drinking a lot as well as getting some shade if we're an action outside and also regularly taking off our protective gear. he says that any one able to find a cool place in the capital these days should count themselves lucky. way back in just a minute with business is get hot debate joining you then thanks for being with us . they make a commitment. they find solutions. they inspire. africa
