i am. using. the 220. 250. hello and a warm welcome to focus on europe i'm glad about lola it's great to have you with us a fresh crisis has reached europe south eastern borders as people displaced by the syrian war seek refuge those who have made it out and now find themselves stuck at the greek turkish border held back by water cannon and tear gas. because turkish president juan announced that people were free to cross into the e.u.

but now they are trapped between the waters as the standoff between the e.u. and turkey plays out well just a few miles from the turkish mainland the greek island of lesbos is bearing the brunt of arrivals in the e.u. at the morea refugee camp more than 20000 people are crowned into a space built for 3000 locals are soothing after having been at the frontline since europe's migrant crisis erupted back in 2015 while the friction between them and the asylum seekers has brought the island to a breaking point. europe's overcrowded waiting room everyone who is stranded here wants to get out as quickly as possible many of them children. hill. air and now live in more in me and my family. is that they're here

it's very very. so down here is 12 she arrived a few months ago with her family from afghanistan their lives haven't changed for the better to the contrary during winter the camp regularly becomes a mud pit as it's called people need firewood many here are from iraq syria or afghanistan having fled civil wars or persecution in their home countries now they're waiting hoping somehow to move on you know at night it gets very cold and my kids too i've got 4 kids with me know it's not good for the children here there's no school it's very dangerous for them ziggo finished looking at the great village of moria is located just a few 100 meters from the refugee camp in the beginning president supported the migrants but now the support has disappeared. today the locals have closed off the

through road. but you know what doubt. was the way other way out of the way what more you. know the locals blame the refugees for an increase in crime on the island but the real enemy people here feel is in athens i'll be much concerned about us the situation is out of control the politicians live in their own world nobody cares for us like on herself fed up we might move. as camp morea is not a closed camp refugees can actually move freely dimitrios quick analysis knows what this means until recently the farmer possessed more than 100 sheep and goats but then 58 animals was stolen he's moved the rest of his herd to a different place on the island far away from the camp after. i'm hiding as many as

i can but they still took 2 and slaughtered them they came from over there that was 20 days ago that's why i've got a dog now well as much of your plan it was your mother's farmers on moriah regularly find slaughtered animals on their properties usually a sign that the perpetrators were disturbed in the act. the locals tried to track down the stolen animals they secretly took photos of a makeshift fresh meat counter in the camp. this video supposedly shows an afghan refugee selling cuts of meat in his tent. and the camp is growing rapidly and uncontrollably and the food deliveries are not enough to feed 20000 people as an emergency solution flour is being passed out helping people help themselves with. the blues grit to slow the. course of food is the duty of the. military.

due to frequent power cuts people are dependent on getting firewood from their surroundings the neighboring forests have been destroyed systematic cutting down of trees has angered the locals to generations they've lived on growing all over. like antinous moggy a loss whose property borders the refugee camp every day the 70 year old all of grower finds new damage trees some of them are up to 500 years old. after. 3 days ago this tree was fine. and now look at what they've done they've destroyed at that. last reckons his last around 5000 euros like many other farmers on lesbos he still waiting for compensation olive's of the main export item of the island. is coming here isn't fun at all anymore

north it's just disappointing that mills for you yeah boy this is. an old all of grower shouldering the european refugee crisis he's lost all hope that things will get better. for 5 years all the efforts of the greek government to deal with the refugee crisis have not been enough now the residents on morrow want to take matters into their own hands protesting at the village square they used to give the refugees bread and warm clothing for the winter now they only want to get rid of them. well events at the greek turkish border have been diverting attention from another crisis thousands of african refugees are trying to leave libya for europe many have drowned trying to cross the mediterranean in life

jackets are a luxury not all can afford all rescue ships like the ocean liking patrol the waters to save migrants and danger operations manager nicholas romani applies maritime law that means anyone in distress will be rescued for him and his crew politics have no place. in the morning and the ocean viking setting sail in south from the french quarter say she sets a course for the libyan coast. french crew member tom green securing the lifeboat. and the other 22 volunteers from esso west many tawney and doctors without borders around a 3 week mission. british crew member nicholas roman new york is heading the operation the 35 year old is tracking ship positions he knows the areas where refugees could be in trouble many have told him that libyan traffickers are deliberately misguiding them from the coast you can see the oil platforms that have the flag as

burning off the excess gas so those flags are visible from the from the from the land and so you can see the haze and the sad thing about it is they actually tell people that that is italy so they say with a couple of hours you'll be you'll be arriving in italy the reality is it's not the case at all. a sudden he met and she called puts the rescuers on and that 130 kilometers off the libyan coast. we have a look for a pulse one of those with no lights or a lot of wood. wondering if you caught a fish. so by. one of the european border force pilots spotted a boat. i will. watch for. this is where frenchman tony and his team come in.

all of. that. assumes the speed boat is launched to empty and his team begin the most dangerous and difficult part of the rescue powered by 230 coast i was the race over the choppy waves finally visual contact is made with an extremely overcrowded inflatable it's a risky moment the excited refugees could easily bring the boat to capsize. yankee's the judging is that oh no we're not going out. to the. belts. 90 degrees. 2 no none of the refugees have a life jacket and they're all women and children and board. prepares everything for the rescue and instructs the refugees. need watches the situation from the bridge he trusts his crew they have been on hundreds of these

kinds of missions before. nobody else or nothing like newton's 3rd. 1st 5 infants are taken aboard and then the others one at a time. for the speedboat gets them see the ocean biking shuttling back and forth until everyone is safe. the situation in europe sports is dramatic the teen sees it as that u.t. to save lives they reject accusations that they're just playing into the hands of human traffickers. since hurricane irene we are talking about thousands of birth children women. most of them were never knew about. reducing the

official figures we have no idea i mean if you pull it from. within a few days the ocean viking crew rescue 3 boats with nearly 300 refugees doctors and nurses take care of the rescued they talk about their fates in libyan refugee camps and why they decided to risk the journey because didn't for long because our lives more importance. if used we would die. to charter the ocean viking cost the aid organizations 14000 euros a day they want to help in an untenable situation when no one else does. s.o.s. is always all last european union but the european union takes responsibility for saving lives at sea seriously right now that not all. the refugees are allowed to disembark in sicily they and the crew are immediately tested for coronavirus. the tests are negative but the ocean viking is detained at the port despite the fact

that a help at sea is desperately needed. well after the corn period this disinfected before a new crew sails it again to north africa. 1st soccer teams in unity can make the difference between a bad game and a beautiful game and the players of the english club sans united have a team spirit like no other their bond goes far beyond their 90 minutes together player damper as isn't there for the accolades but for support both on and off the field he and his teammates are united in their grief for their children. they are playing for holly for freddy for your work and for many see the players of english sans united football team all have one thing in common they're flossed about. getting together for a weekly practice session helps them to come to terms with that loss.

of learning ok to cry it's a quite a feel down. it doesn't make you less of a man it doesn't make you less of a person nothing but love for where the family room. everyone's coffee and we're as close is a family then governor it. about a year ago dance partner lost their daughter holly just a few weeks before she was due then he heard about sounds united football team and immediately signed up to the place in defiance. everybody here feels the same as me and if i need to talk i can but other than not it's just like die hard just released my energy out of the pitch now you are around a bunch of lads that will look after me 3 seconds and it is a family it's not that will take his family. when dan's daughter died he promised

himself to be strong and support his partner but soon he too needs the support of others to deal with his loss. in my head just as if my balls just suddenly broke down and i just couldn't. but i don't know i just couldn't take it and i've always been a very outgoing person i couldn't explain why it was happening because i saw. i've grieved with my partner but then the power happened. and that took quite a lot to come back from. holly will always be a part of dan and his partner lottie's life. they keep earned at home. the doctor came in and confirmed. on ultrasound that there was no heart bait than

just fell to the floor and can play vet and. swallow. and that will stay with me forever and i think his wow like he just kind of think in a minute instead that over sudden everything changes. at 1st down struggle to express his grief. like most men not saying all but most he had to be the man and look after the woman and. you know it i was a mess i was awful i was a little bit since joining the football squad dan has been coping better to come to terms with his daughter's death their team was founded in 2019 in southern england now that joined the amateur football league. before kickoff they

observe a minute of silence in honor of their deceased children. and seriously this is also struck. so far they haven't won any of their matches maybe today's game will bring the turnaround. which means a reference over us 100 percent this is all about what we can work in so i mean you say oh the same style you've all been together a long time and yet we're here for a different race and without football so we don't want to win the game as well in the sense united pull off their 1st victory winning 4 to 2. it's a great feeling that gives them strength by which probably just be sour hard rock without these guys you know if someone's having a bad day on life support we all law that whether it's michael holmes whether it's

just the backgrounds but everybody knows that we're there for each other. and that sense of togetherness is what these chains of gold about whether they win. a squeeze of lemon a pinch of salt and a glass of still going all day long or easters are a treasure part of french cuisine and it is here in france where some of the tasty oysters come from but criminals there have also developed a voracious appetite for the delicate oyster heists are threatening the livelihoods of many breeders like nickel as thieves sell the mollusks on the black market well stories are now stepping in to safeguard the french staple and test the elusive burglar's.

it's early morning this is debated afternoon on the french brittany coast. because on the name is an oyster farmer he loves working here but for months he's been extremely worried because thieves have been stealing the precious molluscs. if the tide is out we come here in the mornings to check if everything is all right. soon he spots a basket that has been cut open again oyster thieves have struck it's a major financial loss it takes 3 years until the oyster can be sold and until then they need to be carefully tended to. several weeks ago 3 and a half tons of oysters were stolen in one night. here are 60 oyster baskets worth 7 or 8000 euros and they stole 250 of them will.

last year many tons of oysters were stolen across france and the situation seems to be getting worse and once the valuable mollusks have been taken they're impossible to trace back. some coastal towns have now set up a special police force like here and on the monday as. gregory hof card is one of the officers in charge. see most documents like you need to know made a joke no it's a prevent oyster. we go one patrol every morning noon and all that sort of night i mean yeah. they use drones to keep an eye on the coast hoping to catch boisterous thieves red handed.

so far they've proven elusive the thieves seem to know their way around the oyster farms and so usually all the special police force can do is act when it's already too late. we then look at the oyster transports result of the. other and if you cannot go. we have to look at. sending such a big load of stolen always to keep ploy. if. only people from within the trade are capable to do so. he's convinced the thieves are from the area. nobody else has the local knowledge and tools necessary to collect the baskets from the bay. thinking the whole kinds of people. have a suspicion but no proof that it could also turn out to be one of my friends. i

could experience a bitter disappointment for. another problem is that an increasing number of oysters are catching a disease during farming the rare virus was previously found only in warmer waters . in 2008 the virus mutated now it only requires $13.00 to $14.00 degrees so we are affected too. whether there's a connection to global warming no name doesn't know but it's a possibility. in the town of anarchy there's a market every saturday. are extremely popular and he doesn't have to wait long for customers. full of very healthy very pure like the sea and also a bit nutty you know and with. these oysters have an extraordinary taste that we are particularly fond of. the oysters are sold out before noon.

like so often he says he could have sold a lot more if it weren't for the oyster thieves in his view their crimes are an forgivable plus. imo your yes we've also had to go to jail we met but ever think of robbing neighbors. let us know that's not who he was no it's not nice. and then they now hopes that the police can finally catch the thieves but the odds are against him. despite intensive investigations very few oyster thieves have been caught. and magine the thrill of driving a ferrari on a formula one circuit now imagine doing it on ice if you have a need for speed and deep pockets a trip to the village of are you in sweden could scratch that itch
