an offer to sail on to malta saying the long journey would have been dangerous for the people on board if you use interior minister. has tried to close italian ports to the charity ships. now d.w. correspondent i mean as soon as steve sent us those pictures he's in lampedusa and joins us now i mean joining us to tell us what the current state of play is right now we understand that this italian a rescue boat has docked in lampedusa. that's right there's quite a commotion of the port here right now it's a surprise docking from the al aqsa ship from the n.-g. o. the italian n.g.o.s meditate on a they were out at sea for over an entire day over 24 hours nearly 2 days actually in the hot sun it's just a sailboat as you can see not a big rescue ship so they declared on twitter just 2 hours ago that they could not

wait for anybody to come out there and take them in they could not wait for the maltese government which offered to take them after the italian government declined to let them enter the port they could not wait for them to come they declared a state of emergency and came into this port almost unannounced. there is a commotion behind me a lot of italians are here gathered around i heard a guy saying yelling that the should not come here illegally so it's really a tense situation here on the port there like you said there's over 40 migrants $41.00 migrants the ngo says on that ship as they were out at sea the italian coast guard actually came out to take a few people off about a dozen they brought them in yesterday but the rest of them were just still out there in the hot sun it's very hot here on the dock i'm sure was hot for them so they came into the port saying that it was a humanitarian emergency all right so clearly some grave concerns about the well being of the people on board what about the german sea i rescue boat which is in

the same waters and in limbo. well the cia as you said has been out there it's also waiting to find out what happens to it the italian government has made a decree that they can't come into the court they can't bring the rescued migrants into the port so they're waiting on some kind of signal from italy that they could come in maybe from malta which is. 150 kilometers away from here that's a bigger ship they have more resources so it's not the same situation that this ship was facing there's over 60 migrants on board the 60 rescue reason silent seekers who want to come into port and so there were they're waiting on some kind of signal what happens to the migrants once the boats they are on dock and they are let on to land well it's a pretty regular procedure it doesn't come across very well in the media perhaps

but there are migrants coming here. very often i would say i've been here for 3 days and i've seen 3 ships come in carrying migrants what happens is they take them into in vans and ambulances directly to the immigration center where where people are staying and awaiting their feet and whether or not they can declare asylum in italy so it's a fairly standard procedure this has gained news of course because italy has positioned itself against the n.g.o.s who are picking up migrants in boats off the coast of libya and bringing them here to lampedusa which they say is the closest safe port that alright and in a safe in lampedusa thanks so much for your reporting. now a magnitude 7 point one earthquake has struck southern california the region's strongest tremor in 2 decades the epicenter was some 200 kilometers northeast of los angeles injuries and fires have been reported and it's the latest in

a series of recent quakes to hit california and experts are warning that more are likely to come. and residents watched helplessly as the quake hit the most powerful in 20 years. no it's no the tremors traveled as far south as mexico for tourists visiting the region it was a surreal moment well we were just you know joe right what if you didn't know and all the sudden the room started shaking and we didn't know you don't really know what what it is you think what you did it doesn't register straightaway then children killed every everything's moving in the chandelier was shaking and the kids were saying that's an earthquake that every word in the whole day all of us he didn't want to share in no way that he will be worse for it and they will realize oh. when we run out for. the quake triggered fires power

outages and damaged roads minor injuries were also reported. and it was the 2nd to strike the region this week the 1st came as americans were celebrating the 4th of july experts are urging residents to be prepared for earthquakes of all sizes. so this earthquake is yet another opportunity for people to be aware that there will be a big earthquake in southern california it's not a matter of if it's a matter of when but the really important thing is just not to prepare for the big one even these moderate earthquakes like the one that happened yesterday in ridgecrest can cause damage. the anxiety has reignited fears of what's called the big one a predicted catastrophic earthquake the san andreas fault line runs through california the statewide warning system is currently being created to inform residents of impending danger. ok let's have
