alyson. oh. my. god the man i am a. fish. i am a fish in the 5th fleet it. can't. i can't. kill the few more that's hard and in the end this is a me you're not allowed to stay here anymore we will send you back. are you familiar with this. with the smugglers would lie and say. what's your story

ready ready. i'm what i was and women especially are victims of violence comes of it take part and send us your story we are trying in all with to understand this new culture. another visitor another guest you want to become a citizen. in for migrants your platform for reliable information. on. thousands of refugees are fleeing war hunger and poverty hoping to reach europe via libya. there are still multiple multiple departures they cross the mediterranean sea and flimsy

overcrowded boats without. life vests. all of the good. ship and are rescued by volunteers like the leaves. its early morning as the ocean viking leaves marsay. aboard our 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 assist by checking news and weather reports and tracking

other ships next number one priority to save as many lives as possible. receiving it self if you're shocked look out for the overhead for bugs and distress in the area. for an already got v.h.f. or 3 patients all waiting for the 1st loads from the all of the authorities are. 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 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 that they actually tell people that that is italy 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 her fortune what we're going to grow up conform with which is just about taking control of people's mind and bring them to follow our instructions carefully and closely and to consider that their best option is to trust us several hours later 130 kilometers off the libyan coast they suddenly receive a distress call. alarm zone a network that monitors the mediterranean has alerted the rescuers. nick needs to

know where to steer his ship. we have a look for a little boat with knives or. war. already. 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. for war war. war or for. oh. they launched the speedboat. you wrote. with 230

horsepower they raced over the choppy waves are they ready to like best 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. or there are people that are going to we're going to own it up like a girl really good we're getting we're going to come back and i mean for her to look at. the news the. judging is the no no we're not going you know. we're going to these are good. records and. good. nick 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 the good. the. good. looking. up. 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. your heart. and. well they are cowards. that the rescued are briefed in english french arabic and other languages. a team of doctors checks in with every person.

telling me. 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. the paperwork by exhausted some of them down there by the coast and my mom said about the tarsem by going by the wide body played 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 ghana. you know was saying walls would watch what a very small. little man's we are. but i ain't you although i thought

probably the mood there was about this time by way down but i mean those boys here because. it would be so our life we download everything them to 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. firing from libyans but we did you know it's more due to us sometime do you do put money on you until you plan money to clear them you are not near you. with almost $300.00 refugees aboard the ocean viking is that over capacity. with next approval the volunteers improvise creating extra space for the rescued oh . i. thought. because it's going to raise

270 people on the site everybody got a little bit shell say yeah i think it's ok that we have to get it done today that we've got 3 of us didn't have time right. now we've got a little bit quiet. there warm meals every morning and midday and as much drinking water as anyone wants most of those rescued had been brought anywhere from the building. that was right. 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 on this side wash your clothes for the one. minute i hear what you need.

to tell me. if i had my harmonica your 1st thing i can sing to myself yeah stephen are you free when you take these guys down to the neva muster station to hang their clothes. meanwhile nick is in negotiation with the taliban and maltese 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. was a few days later. really that morning. from bar. 2 2 to. me i am happy.

that i. finally get to disembark but italian authorities detain the ship at port one of the refugees is suspected of having contracted the coronavirus. look. at. the ocean viking is quarantined for 2 weeks. despite the fact that her health 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. being left in danger of being left to sleep to grow for me that's not acceptable. that's why nec wants the ocean viking to return as quickly as possible to the

libyan coast lives after all are at stake. question what do you get 35 tons of concrete blocks the form of 120 meter high tower around. 6 arms on it. also battery the tower enables the storage of renewable energy but how exactly does this unique contraption look. to morrow to do. next to. an electric cars if the climate. we need to read transportation of its c o 2 footprint. but their battery is the most expensive and eco unfriendly components. marketed and 0 emissions cars there are

a catastrophe for the entire mental humanity in the making. a complete. w. i'm not laughing at the germans because sometimes i am but less than nothing with the budget i mean i think deep into the german culture. you didn't see him take his grandma down to you it's all out there no time rachel joy make me think i'm going to tell. you tomorrow today the science show on d w coming up. could this tower be a solution to the problem of renewable energy storage. we meet a scientist who is searching for new antibiotics from microorganisms.

and poor pluto our faraway solar system neighbor wassup.
