for this humanitarian crisis right now there has been assistance as far as trying to evacuate and get some $400.00 plus undistorted unaccompanied minors out. morgana and relocated into the mainland and in other camps in greece and the person reporting thank you. lesbos was one of the flashpoints of the migration crisis 5 years ago when during the summer an unprecedented number of people fleeing war and poverty left their home countries and tried to reach europe via rival so many people in such a short time forced the e.u. to urgently seek a common approach on asylum seekers upon a common approach that's to this day remains elusive. it's a humanitarian tragedy that has influenced european politics like no other the procession of migrants and refugees hoping to find a new hold believe you a crisis that peaked in 2015. for 5 years now hundreds of reporters
3:08 pm
myself included have been trying to shed some light on the policies that a human bush states and institutions have been trying to come up with in response to these pictures so let's take a look at what has actually changed since 2015 is the e.u. any better prepared for a new major increase in migration flows today one thing that your member states here at the european council in brussels have all agreed on is strengthening the use external borders part of that strategy has been a landmark deal with turkey to prevent migrants an asylum seekers from entering the e.u. in the 1st place and despite the recent draw our over what exactly turkey gets in return apart from financial aid for refugees in turkey the effect has been a dramatic decrease in the number of a rifle's. preventing people from heading for europe is now

3:10 pm
above all a lack of political will this human suffering is the result of dysfunctional legislation the current system known as the doppler regulation stipulates that most people must claim asylum in their country of arrival but states with extra no borders like italy or greece say that's just not fair so in the heat of the crisis the you try to bring in relocation quote us with each country taking their share of refugees and migrants based on their g.d.p. and population but the idea crashed and burned hungary the czech republic slovakia and poland refused to accept refugees or abide by the rules now it's done only on a voluntary basis 5 years on the e.u. remains deeply divided on the issue take the coronavirus pandemic already some member states have been using the virus as an excuse to bring in tougher controls

1st weeks of the panda. at a news conference the president defended his handling of the crisis trump said he was not lying to the public that he did not want to cause panic more than 189000 americans have died so far for the virus to be frank i don't want to create panic. well joining me now in the studio for more on this story is a bit of other stuff from a u.s. election team peeta what do we make of trump explanation for misleading the american public right so president trump is known to be he likes to call myself a cheerleader for america he's known to you know one to talk things out rather than play them down except in this particular case above all he is someone who likes to project strength and you know give the impression that he's in complete control and that is very much the message that he was trying to sell in the wake of these revelations let's listen in and certainly i'm not going to drive.
3:14 pm
this country or the world into a frenzy and we want to show confidence we want to show strength we want to show strength as a nation and that's what i've done and we've done very well in picking up after this so essentially that you know trump is really trying to paint himself as a responsible adult someone who was trying to calm the nation rather than create panic and of course the irony here is that by withholding this information he really actually created more panic and meet a lot of americans feel less safe because it created a false sense of security he told people not to wear a mask when he knew for a fact that it was airborne he said that it was no worse than the flu when he also knew that that was not true knew that this was potentially 5 times more deadly than the flu and let me just interrupt you there peter let's go to and see walt's trumps rival in the presidential race joe biden that to say on these whether that happens he knew how deadly it was it was much more deadly than the flu he knew and
3:15 pm
purposely played it down worse he lied to the american people he knowingly and willingly lied about the threat it posed to the country for months. he had the information he knew how dangerous it was and while this deadly disease ripped through our nation he failed to do its job on proctor's was a life and death betrayal of the american people. so do you think peter that this revelation which comes from but woodward who is not just any reporter. will it further damage the prospects of getting reelected it's a very good question i mean biden is leading in the national polls obviously a majority of americans say that they trust biden to handle demick. you know more so than then trump will it matter you know there's a reason that he's also called teflon don these things have
3:16 pm
a tendency you know he's seen his fair share of controversies none of them stuck. in this case so trump can't rely on his base alone he will need also to appeal to suburban voters who lead to the support of older voters a lot of them have turned their back on trump because of his handling of this pandemic and so you know 2 months election day that is a long time but we also know a lot of people are going to vote early they're going to look to mail in voting because of the pendennis because they're too afraid to turn out you know a lot can happen between now and then but this could be one of the biggest blows we've seen to trump reelection chances so far is it all thank you. time now to take a look at some of the latest developments in the corona virus pandemic the global death toll from the corona virus pandemic has now passed 900000 the united states remains the worst affected country with deaths exceeding 190000 however india

3:21 pm
every player every day obviously they want to protect their most valuable asset those are the players on the field they're doing their due diligence in that direction now in terms of protests the n.f.l. took a complete u. turn you know just pretty much falling in line with colic happening 1st took me to bring light to the police brutality in the united states he was basically blacklisted it left out of the league still remains outside of the n.f.l. to this day but the n.f.l. in itself have collectively you know unified in this city. the commissioner roger goodell came out and say we will support the players i believe the idea is they will collectively take a knee as well as having the national anthem lift every voice in saying the black national anthem will always also be performed ahead of the game before the game you know so i think those are some positive steps of course everyone you know isn't completely in line with the outspoken players these days i believe
3:22 pm
we have a sound bite to that respect. yes we have a player we have mark. from the 49 er's a german footballer who speaks about just wanting to get back to play because it's our livelihood let's take a listen. in the end we decided all together that we would try to play this season i want to play you know look. you know the team is doing everything. and really they are doing everything they can to make it safe to play. across social justice of course the big the big theme we have we've had washington changing and then play a protests up admitted how is that affecting the league well you know all of the players in the league one thing surprising the dallas cowboys owner jerry jones you know previous you know to this latest development you know i guess unified front in
