1:10 pm
a motional yet pointed messages. about. what he says matters he's a person of how will someone people listen to you thank god be aware that what he says means something on a day when that the next time you know he's across the country are afraid that they may be next today of all days we must hold the president accountable for the pattern of racism that has defined his administration. from the local people to local politicians many said the president had been slow to denounce the root of the problem. in this case we're dealing with domestic terrorists. we're dealing with busy a white supremacist we're doing with racism though we made peace and for some the problem of racism has been exacerbated by the president himself. for most of our recent history it's kind of flowed underground in this administration it's out in the open and it's coming directly from president trump who in no uncertain terms
1:11 pm
has vilified and tried to defuse minimize the people of this community to be another of the president's would be replacements picked up the fight as grief and anger turned again to the question of who will achieve real change on gun control here for truth he she is more concerned about losing their votes. and beating back this hateful ideology. he says guns are not the problem in mass shootings the issue is mental health it's a dodge hatred isn't a mental health issue. that we donald trump signed off his day in el paso by refusing to acknowledge any anger toward him. there are a lot of heroes there all over europe for the love of the respect the yorkers and. there were i wish you could have been there to see it. but at a time when polls suggest

1:13 pm
enjoying the taste of country life in the city now they're facing growing pressure from city planners who want to resume their green paradise development. but 1st it's a journey for short for danger but one the thousands of refugees are willing to make crossing the mediterranean from north africa illegally heading for an uncertain future in the european union now most refugees on migrants and migrants end up in spain or greece now these numbers from the u.n. sure arrived so far this year but italy hits the headlines most often because of its hardline approach to unofficial rescue missions room cleaned these with people traffickers. italy's migrant backlash grew last year with the lection of the populace government and its far right interior minister mattio salvini new legislation passed this week threatens captains of rescue vessels with fines of up to 1000000 euros if they end to italian ports without permission the government
1:14 pm
also wants other countries to take in most of the refugees and migrants landing in italy did amuse max under joined a sea watch rescue mission off the libyan coast and sent us this report. takeoff from an undisclosed location. for the german n.g.o.s c. watch is taking us on a reconnaissance flight over the mediterranean. muttiah and pilots have one main objective saving lives here 70 miles off the libyan coast this is this actual better trade your group are the africa. group this search right is looking for by greg abbott the dangerous crossing out that are rubber boats they're leipsic recruits. finding them is like looking for a needle in a haystack and conditions are anything but ideal. this you watch aircraft moon bird
1:15 pm
mainly operates in the search and rescue zone off the coast of western libya an area that spans more than 350 kilometers of coastline this is where migrant boats set off on their perlis journey to italy and malta footage from an earlier mission shows how that looks dozens of people on an overcrowded rubber dinghy passengers often spend days out at sea exposed to the sun and with limited supplies and back at the back of people have been on the water for days easily dehydrated desperate and in a serious medical condition those really are emergencies that have to be evacuated as soon as possible. after hours up in the air we spot a suspicious object in the water by a half. that's a sunken rabbiting. for now we don't know what happened to the people on board these cheap inflatable boats are not made to last and sometimes sink after days out
1:16 pm
at sea even if and his crew managed to spot a boat in distress it doesn't mean the passengers will be brought to safety due to a crackdown on n.g.o.s there are very few rescue boats left on the water and merchant vessels try to avoid the affected. area all together often the libyan coast guard is the last resort for kelly and his colleagues this is a frustrating experience but. i want the people to reach a safe haven i want these people to get to europe. and i want them to cross the ocean safely and not be pulled back illegally. this is wrong and ships are being seized rescue capacities are being cut somewhere the only ones keeping an eye on the water we have to deal with situations like this. we are back on the ground where exactly we cannot say ok and much here are aware that their organizations activities are being closely monitored. since the governments such as
1:17 pm
italy have started to crack down on rescue n.g.o.s seawards faces public criticism and accusations that they are aiding people smugglers. a claim that most vigorously rejects. but. we would never communicate with people smugglers in our capacity they simply criminals have made a business with people who suffer and make money out of the 2nd stance that they're so desperate and see no other way than reaching out to them pick and it's not sensitive in cases these claims are used to paint them as criminals and distract from the real issue mentioned it would get it out for human lives have to be saved for me that's not up for debate and there's too much discussion going on about it about who should be saved and us as a future. despite the mounting pressure. here say they will continue to go in
1:18 pm
missions for as long as they are allowed to or until their work becomes no longer necessary. i'm not joined by charlie actually from the u.n. refugee agency the u.n. h.c.r. which comes to you actually know why is it that n.g.o.s are having to rescue refugees in migrants at sea and not the coast guard or what we're seeing right now is a real lack of search and rescue capacity on the mediterranean there needs to be a significant increase of the. one of the major players doing this at the moment of the libyan coast is the libyan coast guard but there's a huge issue there whether they are then returns to libya and taken to detention centers such as to giora where last month 50 people were killed after an airstrike hit the mall they were trapped inside so what can be done instead what we need to
1:19 pm
see states lift the current legal in the just to cool restrictions on n.g.o.s boats n.g.o.s have played a crucial role on the mediterranean saving lives and they should be allowed to carry out their operations but we also need to see e.u. state vessels like we saw in previous years return to the mediterranean we need the european states to bring back a program like that to prevent the crisis of deaths that we currently see on the mediterranean but is there any signs of this is happening because your women's issue has warned that punishing private rescue ships could prevent lives from being saved in the mediterranean what will happen if these n.g.o.s stop operating. well there's a real concern here that you know the n.g.o.s will be increasingly deterred we may end up in a situation where there are no n.g.o.s boats operating. and that will place a greater burden on on commercial ships and with this new law that has passed we
1:20 pm
fear the shipmasters of commercial ships may hesitate or even ignore distress calls our fear of being stuck the sea with those rescued passengers for days on end i mean since april the situation in libya has deteriorated substantially and we cannot turn a blind eye to the suffering that's taking place there the number of arrivals attempting to reach europe is down significantly compared to previous years back to pre-crisis levels so it's a question of developing a solution where there's cooperation among states search and rescue capacity is substantially increased and states agree a mechanism on how to share responsibility for hosting them afterwards so what does the un if she needs to be the top priority in dealing with this migration across the mediterranean. well this sea journeys themselves are really
1:21 pm
only one aspect and really the final aspect of this review any any attempt to address this situation has to have a holistic and comprehensive outlook we need to look 1st of all at why people are fleeing in the 1st place from their home countries there are currently more than 15 unresolved conflicts in east and west africa prompting people to flee their homes at the same time in other countries but also countries of asylum they need support with strengthening their asylum systems and with strategic development assistance so that people feel they are able to live their lives all rebuild their lives in the case of refugees only then will we see a change where people no longer feel the desperation that they put their hands in the lives of these unscrupulous smugglers and traffickers who organize these routes charlie actually from the un a.t.r. thank you very much for talking to. thank you.
