b.t.w. . this is d w news live from berlin stirring words for europe on its duty to care for refugees the united nations tells brussels it needs to do more to stop by grants from drowning in the mediterranean the u.n. wants the new to resume rescue missions at sea despite resistance from some member states also coming up a severe drought leads to strict water rationing for india's poor but not for its politicians. serino william steps on the grass of wimbledon in the final later

today but there's more to say than just another grand slam title so take a look at the latest record in terms of. i'm calling last month thanks for joining us to united nations agencies are urging europe to take more responsibility for migrants in the mediterranean the un's refugee agency and the international organization for migration have called on european union nations to relaunch rescue missions that save people from drowning earlier this year the e.u. suspended its main naval operation that carried out these rescues and critics say that is having deadly consequences. bodies have drawn migrants have brought to the chinese inshore. 82 people went missing when the boat sank on july 1st most have since been retrieved from the water dead the migrants started their

journey in war torn libya and drifted into genies in waters before sinking one of the few survivors remembers have a coast to help went unanswered. and i don't doubt that it and i get older you know pins and pick us up in the water. it was thinking. about it but they did not answer our call. on the. operations of fear the european union effort to curb migrant flows across the mediterranean stopped rescuing shipwrecked people in march and italy's populace government has shut ports to private rescue ships the country's interior minister says this post has been a success. i mean you know i mean prevention is better than the cure and therefore we're down from 80000 the rivals in this period in 201717000 last year to just 3000 this year you know that was cool for me. but private rescue organizations have

been challenging south binny's hard line approach. it was arrested after she illegally docked the sea watch 3 italian island of lampedusa with 40 rescued migrants on board and the long term i hope you will change its policy and that will be a safe possibility for people refugees in particular to cross the ocean so that the rescue will not be needed anymore. in the short term however we hope that the criminalization of rescuers will stop so that those who want to help the people in need are able to do so without any fear of 1st time and channel. the risk you operations were halted because the block was on they were to agree on how to distribute migrants amongst the member states so for now the private rescue groups i ships like the sea workers 3 of the best hope to save migrants lives at

sea. for more on this we're joined now by the tail villa he is a research fellow and migration specialist at the italian institute for international political studies in milan but teo just in terms of numbers operations sophia and other missions in the mediterranean they were success and we're talking about tens of thousands of lives saved since 2014 so why have those rescues now been stopped. yeah absolutely so if you had rescued 35000 people you for it was these continue to march this year but actually we have to go back because the decision was a political decision to discontinue persian these year but it sure seems july this year yet not carried out rescue even before it was discontinued so there is a bigger picture here the political picture that emerges that shows that you countries did not want to use a few with the current time goldman to use the term. believing that. people

stop cross in and that has not happened so far let's talk about what the italian government says i mean any he argues that he says stopping these rescues saves lives he says if there's no rescues people won't try this crossing in the 1st place i mean does that make sense yeah it might it might make sense the problem is that if it's not happening as much as as it is hoped so it's not like it's true that's crossing so gone really really down but actually the beaches for those who cross the reste of those who cross has gone up and remember this is where we need to reduce the routes from libya to italy was already do risk you see were 50 died crossing and now we are closer to one in 10 so there is one problem and these debts not even to food pictured because 6 out of the answer to my joint of those who attended cross actually returned to libya but it would be of course intercepted then go back to the same hell do you want to escape from so this is the actual big

ship people have not gone down considerably so the cost isn't gone but my guess we meaning and stuck in libya are still in the 10s of thousands and there is no solution for down yet now the e.u. can't agree on this issue the u.n. urging the group to restart these rescues how likely is it that the you watch and listen. i guess very very not much so but you know i just want to point out a fact we often think that you read it rescue operations and use credit risk operations didn't increase the crossing suit there furious with my research shows they didn't do. this there's no evidence that these you know logical fact but there is no evidence for that so maybe we should go back to reality and not just. do some politics out of fear but maybe be a bit more problematic we can increase the rate of those who are rescued at sea

we've got increasing that mushed across you so we can lower the suffering of these people matteo villa migration specialist from the italian institute for international political studies thank you very much thank you turning now to the u.s. where undocumented immigrants are bracing for deportation braids this weekend president donald trump has infirmed the federal immigration agents will target thousands of the estimated 1000000 people with removal orders critics say that may include those living in the u.s. for years and families who have not yet had a court hearing trump said the rains will focus mainly on criminals and here's more of what the president had to say hundreds of people know about the major operation the word gets out it gets out it starts on sunday and they're going to take people out are they going to bring it back to their countries or they're going to take criminals out put them in prison or put him in prison in the countries they came

from were focused on criminal just but we get they came in illegally they have to go out. a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world at least 26 people are dead after al shabaab militants stormed a hotel in somalia among the dead or a politician foreigners and journalists security forces in kiss mayo say they ended the siege and killed the militants the group has been trying to topple the government for more than a decade. police in new zealand say that a nationwide buyback of automatic weapons has begun successfully gun owners in the city of christ church and in more than $200.00 firearms automatic and semiautomatic weapons were banned in the wake of deadly attacks on 2 mosques in christ church in march. activists in hong kong are holding fresh protests in the town near the border with mainland china they're demonstrating against the activities of chinese traders who operate in the area the rally follows weeks of protests in hong kong

change and bad water management mean that indian cities are running on empty and no more so than in new delhi. this is where rich politicians and business leaders as well as this stuff don't have to worry but millions of poor people are now unable to access enough to drink points in on a legal and on regulated water tanks. the issue that we're facing is that we don't get enough water we have a big family and we only get $8.00 to $16.00 leaders every 3 days we don't even have enough to drink. how we get enough water to bathe when we're hardly getting anything to drink i don't think is that what. it is funny because you know people come and beg that we vote for them during elections that they're not that now that they've won they don't even come and show their faces here let me. give you. climate change means summers

a holster and rains more unpredictable then these go on water in many places it is going down what do we do this but if you know you going to just move back toward the keys you know what they could put in me so that people who do you can go for what you want it will get basically the imported water and that's a huge get access to water is quickly becoming a major issue of social justice. to tennis now and in the women's wimbledon final serena williams will be taking on simona halep later today serena is looking for her 8th victory at the all england club but she has another even greater milestone in mind one more major tournament title would bring her level with australia's margaret court as the most successful player of all time. serena williams is on the cusp of making tennis history. considered one of the greats of the sport the 37 year old's passion for the.
