i'm simply someone's got to thank you for joining us the last privately operated ship dedicated to saving migrants from drowning in the mediterranean has docked in the port of mar say the aquarius has had its license withdrawn so it won't be able to head out to sea again legally this is part of a crackdown on migration by italy the operators of the aquarius say it jeopardizes the lives of many would be refugees. this ship has meant the difference between life and death for thirty thousand people say it's operators the n.g.o.s a west military and they launched the aquarius two and a half years ago the group says its work is vital. here and leave there is massive confusion in the mediterranean there's no real coordination to manage the.

2:04 pm
story hi max we just heard there a pretty heavy accusation from that aquarius crewmember how would the e.u. respond you would say of course is trying to prevent deaths at sea in the mediterranean by deterring basically migrants from making the trip in the first place by the way that's also the argument of the minister of the interior material but we have some interesting new numbers that will prove the contrary basically there is an italian think tank that the u.n. data and analyze it and they came to the conclusion that although overall there are less people arriving on the shores of italy the death rate has increased it's actually the highest ever measured it's at nineteen percent and in other words this means that one out of five migrants who makes the trip were attempts to make the trip across the mediterranean. max we heard in our report you know no e.u. country seems willing right now to give the aquarius or any other n.g.o.s will a flag a license to sail under are we seeing
