please. i think that. our. eyes i love sleep the to laugh. is the human race destroying itself. we are running the basic elements of our existence. using too much noise and killing. her just like.

me making cold water supplies will last forever. but they. are one of the main street. stores march 20th on t.w. . 000000 sales ins of refugees are fleeing war hunger and poverty hoping to reach europe via libya. played by those still multiple multiple the hardships they cross the mediterranean sea and flimsy overcrowded boats without life vests. all of the goods. and are rescued by volunteers like.

it's early morning as the ocean viking leaves marsay. aboard are 23 volunteers from s.o.s. mediterranean and doctors without borders they've been on many rescue missions before. they've lease the 70 metre long ocean viking running the rescue operation costs $14000.00 euros each day the volunteers rely exclusively on donations. nicholas or nick roman york has the operation the 35 year old plots the ship's course other volunteers assessed by checking news and weather reports and tracking other ships next number one priority to save as many lives as possible.

receiving your self if you go shopping go for a potential bugs in distress in the area. free all right all of you just a reiteration all waiting for the stress loads from all of the authorities. all from. ready. refugee boats rarely show up on the ships radar because they're too small. so the crew keep a lookout scanning the horizon. often traffickers deliberately misinform refugees what we've heard over the years is that. the instructions that people are given on the boats is to is to proceed north from the coast you can see the oil platforms that they have that the flares burning off the excess gas so those flares 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 ably so they say within a couple of hours you'll be you'll be arriving in italy the reality is it's not the case at all. frenchmen tongue he is one of the most experienced volunteers on the team. he's saved thousands of lives at sea already. we've put a lot of for folks in what we're going to grow to conform with which is just about taking control of people's minds and bring them to full power instruction carefully and close. to consider all the best option is to trust us several hours later 130 kilometers off the libyan coast they suddenly receive a distress call. alarms phone a network that monitors the mediterranean has alerted the rescuers. next needs to know where to steer his ship. we have a look for a possible world boat with no lights or

a high or. low rate. so while. the volunteers have made radio contact with a plane operated by the european border agency frontex they've got eyes on the refugee boat in distress. or their. war war war. or war or more. oh for your degree. they launched the speedboat. even. with the 230 horsepower they raced over the choppy waves are they ready to life vests to make sure everyone is safe when.

they need to ensure all refugees among them women and children remain calm even though they're desperate to get off the tiny boat. but if. there are people that are good for me we're going to own it up working girl really and if we're getting we're going to come back and get over it or have a look at. their journey is the guys know what they'll call you know. really good. work. good. next can only watch from afar now everything is in tongues hands. oh well the refugees listen to him and stay calm many can't swim and tang he hasn't handed out life jackets yet they could drown if their boat capsizes tongue he has the

situation under control he's experienced and has been on many rescue missions before. for looks good good for. the. health. good. looking. but all. of. the boats must not touch as the flimsy overcrowded refugee boat could easily capsize. then the actual rescue begins. 1st 5 infants are taken aboard then everyone else one by one. then the speed boat returns to the ocean viking.

shuttling back and forth until everyone is safe. now the doctors without borders staff tends to the rescue. they swap their wet gas drenched clothes for clean dry garments men and women are allocated separate spaces onboard where they can rest. and far as. well as our own. that the rescued are briefed in english french arabic and other languages. a team of doctors checks in with every person. beyond that. by. then they receive the next distress call over the past 30 hours the team will

embark on 3 rescue missions they save the lives of 276 refugees the volunteers work nonstop. that they thought by its author and some of them found them by the code that my mom said about her montage imbibing modified life by the missing. $65.00 of those rescued are under the age of 18 many are unaccompanied most are from mali nigeria bangladesh and morocco. 24 year old michael is from donna. you know was saying walls would watch what you very small. little minds we are. but i ain't to. all go about produce food that was not there to buy it down but i mean they're always always here because they do got out of the woods because they're our life we

download everything them through michael like so many others got stranded in libya because of the war returning to ghana through the sahara was unthinkable so the only option left was to try to make it across the mediterranean sea. it's not easy by yourself i am from libya it's what we do you know it's more it's you join us sometimes you. put money on you until you find money to clear them you're not leaving you. with almost $300.00 refugees aboard the ocean viking is that over capacity. with nick's approval the volunteers improvise creating extra space for the rescued it was. thought. to get a raise we felt 270 people pulled off such a god little bit shell say yeah but say that we have to get it done today that we

have 3 events we didn't have time right. now it will be quiet. there are warm meals every morning and midday and as much drinking water as anyone wants most of those rescued hadn't brought any with them but only. was. at the back of the ship everyone can wash their clothes. captains told me our water level is a bit load so i'm going to have to be a bit careful with how much words we use ok so if you're waiting and you can wait almost to wash your clothes it would be like what can i do to you what you need. to tell me. if i have my home want to cut your birthday i can sing to myself yeah stephen are you free when you take these guys down to that near the muster station

to hang their clothes. meanwhile nick is in negotiation with italian authorities he wants permission to bring the rescue to safety. all his actions with national authorities to avoid being accused of playing into the hands of human traffickers. i few days later. really that morning. are going. 2 2 to. be i am happy. to.

finally get to disembark but italian authorities detain the ship at port one of the refugees is suspected of having contracted the coronavirus. the ocean viking is quarantined for 2 weeks. despite the fact that her help at sea is desperately needed with ever more people risking their lives to reach europe. i see videos of the central military and i see videos through throughout. the mediterranean and the atlantic of men women and. older and being left in danger of being left closely to dry for me that's all except the wall. that's why nec wants the ocean viking to return as quickly as possible to the libyan coast lives after all are at stake.

2 for him writing is an act of liberation. for a novelist it's a tremendous to them somehow together in all of our lives not characters who asked for something going on that's maybe obvious except that they don't notice the artist cutting the top that the irish writer and exclusive interview aren't 20 nor. d.w. . mutated into a nameless mass. their bodies are mere tools of the history of the slave trade is africa's history. describes how the greed for power and profits plummeted an entire continent into chaos and muslims this time europe's expansion for all the gold in the world in our series fiercely.

with nick different languages we fight for different things that's fine but we all stick up for freedom freedom of speech and freedom of press. giving freedom of choice global news that matters w made for minds. if you don't talk often about things that really matter to people often just go quiet about it and just just and that's what a book that deals with that becomes a way of breaking.
