these measures could be put in place but basically to focus is to try those hard to sit it to prepare the rest of the country as well all right sima gupta for us in rome and standing by in madrid marcos furnish we thank you both very much for your reporting and hope you also stay healthy. and that's the latest from d.w. news this hour up next is reporter american evan steen from me and the entire team here in berlin thanks for watching. my 1st boss was a sewing machine. where i come for all women are bound by the social influence even something as simple as learning how to write a bicep those isn't. since i was a little girl i wanted to have them by sight the law of my home and it took me years they've been there. finally they gave up and mentioned by me and by psychos

but returns with the sewing machine sewing i suppose was more appropriate for those than writing a bio as no i want to meet those women back home who are bones by their duties and social norms and informed him of old dead basic rights my name is the about of the hook and i wore them. thousands of refugees are fleeing war hunger and poverty hoping to reach europe via libya. where there are still multiple multiple because surely they cross the mediterranean sea and flimsy overcrowded boats without life vests. or look for good.

and are rescued by volunteers like. it's early morning as the ocean viking leaps marsay. a border 23 volunteers from s.o.s. mediterranean and doctors without borders they've been on many rescue missions before. they've lease the 70 meter long ocean viking running the rescue operation costs $14000.00 euros each day the volunteers rely exclusively on donations. nicholas or nick roman york heads the operation the 35 year old plus the ship's course other volunteers assisted by checking news and weather reports and tracking

other ships next number one priority to save as many lives as possible. receiving. your shop look out for a potential bugs in the stress of the area. very already got. a really gracious all waiting for the 1st loads from the authorities. all for a. 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 they actually tell people that that is 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 see already. we put a lot of her fault in what we're going to grow up conform with which is just about taking control of people's minds 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. alarms phone 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 possible world boat with knives or a little more. lorry. 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. war war war. or war or. oh. they launched the speedboat. you were. with 230

horsepower they raced over the choppy waves they ready the life vests to make sure everyone is safe when. they need to ensure all refugee use among them women and children remain calm even though they're desperate to get off the tiny boat. but all those people are going to read a book a girl really turned it into something we're going to remember the number 100 but. don't use the. judging is the i don't know what they'll call you know. he's a good. good. nick can only watch from afar now everything is in tongues hands. i don't know what

the refugees listen to him and stay calm many can't swim and tongue 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. looks like need but. 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 heart. well to our code. that the rescued are briefed in english french arabic and other languages. a team of doctors checks in with every person. beyond. that.

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 people who buy the author and some of them down there by the coast and by month about the tarsem by going by the wide body played by the best. $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 what sank the walls would was where you very small. little minds we are. writing to. all go about probably the mood there was not this time by

a down god i mean those boys here because this. is their 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 . for him from libya and what he would do you know it's more due to us sometimes you. put money on you until you find 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. because it's going to raise $270.00 people. so you've got little show saying here

that this is tell you that we have to get it done we've got 3 events a few times already. i would go a little bit quiet. there 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 over. the top. at the back of the ship everyone can wash their clothes. while their captains told me our water level is a big load so i'm going to have to be a bit careful with how much words we use ok so if you're waiting can you come away on the side to wash clothes wash clothes or what. what can i do to you what you mean. i mean. if i had my home want to cut 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. i a few days later. really good morning 2 2. the us.

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 contract with the coronavirus. looks. like. 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 children being left in danger of being left to sleep to dry for me that's not acceptable. that's why nick wants the ocean viking to return us. quickly as possible to the libyan coast lives after all are at stake.

question what do you get when you stack 35 tons of concrete blocks the former 120 metre high tower around a crane. arms on a. battery the tower enables the storage of renewable energy but how exactly does this unique contraption work. to morrow to sit. next to the. black sea 30 years after the fall of the moon. everything seems possible here. 1900. 90 is where the peaceful revolution began. today kids are created and braving the trouble is. those are just the right time to break into the city's past and present tradition

of the. 30. 2. in the light of climate change. what's in store. for the future. come for to make a serious. insight. enter. into tomorrow today the science show on d w coming up. could this towel be a solution to the problem of renewable energy storage. we need a scientist who is searching for new antibiotics for microorganisms.

and put. our faraway solar system neighbor was a plan.
