you. this is the they'll be unusual from then the greece's prime minister accuses the european union of parking migrants in countries on its out of borders refugee camp on the island of last boss was meant to house 3000 people but is actually homes more than $13000.00 also on the program. on day 3 of public hearings in the trump impeachment inquiry to senior officials who heard the disputed phone call between the president and his ukrainian counterparts described mr trump's request as improper and unusual.

i'm phil gal welcome to the program greece's prime minister has strongly criticised european union migration policy its attack it says accused brussels of treating countries on its out of borders as convenient places to park migrants over the coming week south and says planning to transfer about 20000 asylum seekers from its a g n islands to the greek mainland and include many on the island of les voss the site of the overcrowded morea refugee camp they dubbed the reporters on a sci fi and mag zat that have this report from the island that has become our home to thousands of refugees who are desperate to leave. friends bid farewell as the buses waits. more than a 100 asylum seekers are leaving maurya camp for some after

a year if way to her. the joy is palpable but so is the pain in the uncertainty of having once again into the mill how do you feel now that you can get on the bus and leave and leave very happy but i have lots of friends here i didn't miss work everybody justice and in the morning i cried and still to now my friends came to see me just the. raw and miri has lived with her daughter for a year in morea a camp she describes as the worst on earth she was notified yesterday and given only hours to pack all her things and leave. i merely is one of thousands of asylum seekers greece plans to move from the north aegean islands to the mainland before winter comes. and. deputy governor of the north island says this rush to transfer asylum seekers is not a permanent solution but he says it will let the islands breathe again

a vesa give us a chance to eat them our basic goal is for the islands to be decongestant for there to be a better distribution of people all over greece. it's insupportable that we have a ratio of one migrant to 5 locals here one man madonnas this and a bed in the rest of greece it's much lower going to get water and they like to see the refugee reception center lesbos is not just overcrowded it's often described as the worst humanitarian crisis in europe. more a camp was built for 3000 but more than 4 times that many people live here thousands of them outside the fence. never here we meet not to belittle it from afghanistan but it shows us where he lives with his family a single mylan tent for 5 people with winter on its way. fillin man had you only been i've lost all hope. only god can help us again are the chances i pray

we will be rescued from this hellish plans and with what i'm good but i am. at its northern edge gloria is expanding a group of men are breaking ground for a family who will spend their 1st night here. no one we talked to here expects the population to shrink anytime soon. in the middle of the night yet another arrival a frantic sport carrying migrants rescued off the coast of last boss this time 33 of them including women and children. everyone gets a bottle of water a snack and a blanket they're relieved as they are registered on european soil but few know about moria their next home. this is a pile of the started life jackets that were worn by those who made the dangerous crossing to less boss but the risks and the conditions of moriah camp won't keep

more people from coming for the past 3 months numbers of arrivals have far outpaced the numbers of departures but if the government's transfer program succeeds the island of lesbos once again could become what it used to be a brief stopover on the way to europe. raw eerie is on the last bus to arrive at the landing she collects her bags as the ferry to athens holds its cargo. just i'm worried about. have lots of stuff here ever learn. i hope but i was 3. and she holds her bags on to the ship she doesn't know where she will live next but she is certain that she will never go back to more when. we get more on this from. from the u.n.h.c.r. in the greek capital athens welcome to d

w people are going to be asking themselves why this hasn't happened soon why keep refugees on greek islands in these horrible conditions for so long rather than resettle him around the country straight away. well essentially this is the currency that greece adopted in march 26th seen with the borders closed those refugees that were coming on to the islands would stay there until their asylum requests were processed and this can take many months and in recent months in fact we've seen the number of arrivals go up the population has snowballed we now have 15000 of them or your reception center as you mentioned in your report it was built to house fewer than 3000 and most of these are refugee families coming from syria from ghana stan from other places that have been torn by war there waiting to be moved to the mainland we know that the government has now started rolling out a plan of transferring people to better conditions on the mainland but this isn't

coming quick and up last week we had nearly a 1000 arrivals 750 people let from the island but you can see that they're right will continue to outpace the number of those who are coming out ok so this is this new policy that of distributing people around the country will this affect the core of the problem will this affect the length of time it actually takes for people to have their asylum applications processed. it will help those that are now on the islands to move to better conditions because weather is changing it's already getting colder we have thousands of people staying in small towns in and out of what conditions with barely any access to basics health care electricity shelter at the security conditions are also quite difficult so getting them out must be a humanitarian priority so we welcome the government plans we actually push for them to be accelerated of the sense that the asylum system has to be overhauled because greece has been facing the highest number of asylum applications across the

european union per capita and it needs more resources it needs a policy and that will strengthen the asylum procedures making them quick but keeping them flat there isn't back to new asylum others coming into play as of the start of next year but we feel it's not going to address issues meaning those issues that we see in those discrepancies in the asylum system what we need is more responsibility sharing across the european union we need to see more countries stepping up their people under relocation especially and this can start already with unaccompanied children we have and more and more than 1000 kids who are without their about those without family members and parents and their navigating this high risk environment all right good talking to thank you for joining us about especially a cut from the u.n. a grace thank you thank you for having me. we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world pro-democracy activists have been leaving hong kong polytechnic university which has been

a 1st hand account of what happened on this infamous phone call between president donald trump and president zelinsky of ukraine on july 25th joining phil williams talked about that she saw that this phone call walks unusual and political in nature and lieutenant colonel men told the house intelligence committee how concerned she was and disturbed by this phone call and that he talked about those concerns will be in his chain of command out of a sense of duty and was quite interesting to watch this hearing and how the republicans who were clearly trying to undermine mr vint men's testimony they question he's a lawyer loyalty they are asked whether he ever leaked documents or information they even asked him whether he was aware that officials at the national

security council were concerned about he's judgments so it will fit clear attempt to discredit this witness but i think that it was unsuccessful so far would you do the belief from 2 more witnesses today who are they what are we expecting. 2 witnesses that were called to testify by the republicans in the house we are going to hear from tim morris a former national security council russia expert who said in his testimony behind closed doors that he things that there was nothing illegal about the phone call and we are also going to hear from current volcker who is one of president trump's point man on ukraine the former special invoice in ukraine who told the investigators that there was no quid pro quo that military assistance to ukraine

was not conditioned on upon investigations into presidents trumps political rivals however couth for career could poise a problem for the republicans because several witnesses who testified in cite after him in this closed door hearing provided testimony that conflicts with his story was under the knowledge in washington thank you football germany play their final euro 2020 qualifier later. squad will slice northern ireland in front 1st germany have already qualified but a win will boost the seeding in the draw. yogi lives still has a few tricks up his sleeve in the remaining euro 2020 qualifier germany have already secured their place at next summer's tournament so live wants to shake things up against northern ireland. that i don't understand planning some changes
