10:05 am
is a rich region and we just don't understand what it's taking so long what are local authorities doing there to try to house and feed the people. so what we mainly so here were n.g.o.s distributing water and food but there is one set day foods distribution by local authorities i also saw policemen giving sandwiches away to children the greek authorities promised the people here to provide them with housing as quickly as possible but we also know that any plans to to build any temporary settlements are met with a lot of resistance and opposition from local authorities and from local residents here who also say this is unbearable. this refugees these refugees from their
10:06 am
perspective needs to to leave the island so this is a very tough very difficult situation for the refugees and of course for the local residents as well do you see any assistance being given there from authorities abroad. well we just heard that france and germany have agreed to resettle 400 refugee children that neverland's also pledged to take in 100 minors or vulnerable people but what about the albert thousands stranded here and even the german chancellor. acknowledged that the european union is still struggling to to speak with one voice and that more steps needs to follow at xander thank you very much for that update that was the w.'s of xander from naaman on the greek island of lesbos. to talk more about situational lesbos
10:07 am
and the e.u. migration challenge in general i'm joined by. your hans and in brussels she is the european union's commissioner for home affairs thank you very much for taking time to talk with us this morning 1st of all conditions at the morea camp on less pows were deplorable and have been for years why has europe tolerated that situation there for so long. with contango right that we're not to call face and the last days and. last year we started with this and we have been able to take out more than hoff's of the band migrants in these overcrowded camps so in moria for example hafiz year ago there were 25000 migrants now with it was 12000 there's still too many and still an acceptable living condition but i'm really happy that we already managed to get out so many people and also especially the most
10:08 am
vulnerable bombs but of course and this is not a sustainable solution for migration in europe so progress has been made but you know that the morea camp has finally burned some unaccompanied children teenagers there been moved mainly by the forty's or only know beginning to think about what to do with the other 12000 who are no utterly dispossessed people have warned that this can burn down why is it taken a disaster to get things moving. no it didn't take a decisive to get things moving started already that this is important to stress but now as you are just shown here we have a lot of people in a very difficult situation now we need acute shelter and support for these people and then we're going to be a commission with pay for salaries staff was arrived today that some people can live on we are also sending a lot of the quick comments that will also arrive there but in my view this is not
10:09 am
a sustainable solution in my view are constantly that these people can have i think they need to be evacuated from the island so you countries have taken in virtually no asylum seekers whereas others like germany and sweden have taken in large numbers and countries like greece italy and spain have been left to deal with the situation warrants it by themselves why has the e.u. failed to agree on at least a common humanitarian approach to migration. i can't answer why but i can say that this is my overall tosk to present in a few weeks new compact on migration and asylum and i spend a lot of time to go shooting in talking with a member states impala ment and other stakeholders and i do think that we can present holistic. proposal that can get acceptance from all
10:10 am
member states because it's really necessary both for distillate darity between member state that we have a. solid solidarity mechanism but also with the solidarity with these individuals that are now as you just saw so here living on the streets and of course that is not sustainable that the context of that they say it's not sustainable what is happening on lesbos and the and also the european policy and libration in general this new perch on migration that you're developing how is that going to help the people who are on lesbos right now out on the streets desperate. to ecu situation we have to handle right now but that's why we are active together with the greek authorities together with member states sound very happy that we have many member states also showing stepping up saying they are not ready ready to help and the commission of course is ready to help greece as we have done for many
10:11 am
years but i'm also responsible for setting up a new legislative proposal so that we would have a better and more system a more sort of darity and morris indians and a better share of responsibility when it comes to migration in european union and i'm going to do that. as you heard some thank you very much for talking with us that was your hunston the e.u. commissioner for home affairs. take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today rio tinto has announced the resignation of its c.e.o. over the mining giant destruction of the sacred sites in western australia affirmed triggered an outcry from shareholders and the public after blowing up 2 ancient caves for its expansion of an iron ore mine mine. india and china have agreed their troops should pull back from a standoff there disputed border in the western himalayas the country's foreign

10:18 am
promises to clean up his hometown and sweep out corrupt politicians and we have a mafia here boyko is leading a coalition of $31.00 opposition candidates their goal is to push united russia the ruling party out together boyko says the kremlin is watching the regional election campaign closely there's no way out of course of their friends united russia has the majority here if we can break the majority of the novosibirsk convene example for the rest of the country if you consolidate forces and go to the ballot box you can change the situation and destroy their monopoly. boy goes campaign recently got a boost when he appeared alongside his close ally opposition politician i like saying. you know video that has gotten millions of views team expose the alleged corruption schemes they say helped united russia politicians in novosibirsk get rich and buy luxury properties and he was poisoned shortly after filming this video

he uses it to call on russians to support the candidate most likely to be united russia in the poll a strategy he calls smart voting but he can use russia's the 3rd the biggest city as an example of how to take down the insatiable told that is united russia. novosibirsk is siberia's main industrial hub more than one and a half 1000000 people live here. united russia current li has the majority in the city council and the regional assembly and their campaigning to keep it that way. regional united russia is the party of the president of the government the party of respect and care we work in the interest of the citizens of the russian federation it's but not everyone in the city feels cared for by the russian government. fear of what the future holds it's not clear who. might be fired.
10:20 am
the situation is a far cry from the ninety's and early 2000 i think a lot of things i know isn't. but who knows where the. city wants to drive the city in a new direction he hopes that if his coalition wins a majority they can turn novosibirsk into a city for its people. people from united russia are not interested in developing the city or talking to instead of running the place they are just defending their own personal interests i believe that despite the extreme weather here and the fact that it isn't of the richest plains. can be a modern european city. he says the main challenge is to convince people their
10:21 am
decision in the polling station can break through the status quo and that smart voting against the ruling party here can set an example for change across russia. german government says it's looking at the entire set of instruments it could use in taking action against moscow over the poisoning of russian opposition leader. spokesman has underlined that she would not rule out consequences on the multi 1000000000 euro nord stream 2 pipeline project if moscow fails to thoroughly investigate the case and he also says the german leader is open to all sanctions options. the north stream to pipeline through the baltic sea means a lot to both parties for russia it's a source of solid foreign. the germany and other e.u. countries it's a major energy conduit but following the poisoning of russian opposition figurehead
10:22 am
alexina valmy a crime blamed on moscow the german government has for the 1st time considered halting construction of north stream 2 it wouldn't be the 1st time the e.u. has levied sanctions against russia the number of cases in which countries impose sanctions on others is climbing accelerating rapidly from 2004 on besides russia the countries most often targeted iran and north korea as well as some african countries. the main pretext for such sanctions of violations of human rights and democratic procedures they're also often instance oblio aimed at trying to prevent terrorism and war but how effective are sanctions really have to achieving their aims opinions oh widely divided. our senior business editor ben physical and has been following the story all along ben this is really a point where germany is ringing its hands over a question of sanctions on russia but this is exactly where business interests and
10:23 am
politics collide isn't it and it can get very messy it's a big game of chess basically but this pipeline is just a small piece in that game and we're in the threatening period so the best sanctions are those things sions the just threatened and there's a change of behavior but nothing really happens. it's whether or not that threat is taken seriously the russian best as the investors in russia shrugging them off at the moment they they see russia's finances as being too strong to be cracked most or does have one of the strongest public balance sheets in the world you can forget that economists say this is only going to be effective if all sectors targeted all economic sectors that would mean that it would hurt russians it would both sides europe as well. the ultimate sanction in my opinion would be making it illegal to own russian sovereign debt that would mean that russia's borrowing costs would shoot up but this would be really tricky because
10:24 am
u.s. residents are in 10 percent of russian sovereign debt europe is also a big investor so it's canada and japan and getting them all on board is really really tricky but i off the economist. about exactly that. now since we are so good that is the enlarged action but we would need a coalition there is a lot of texas sitting there on the road so there's a lot of savings that seeking basement and we would need to brought. you know all ways of russia selling their bombs if it's just your would be enough we would need the united states on board on this and probably also asian countries so i think there's no real jeopardy. to believe. if we go through sanctions and these need to be almost universal sanctions almost universal the problem there is
10:25 am
u.s. president don't trump isn't he still best buddies with let me put it well you know are the economists are talking about building a coalition and i the question is how do you get us and europe and there's asian countries you talked about on the same page with imposing sanctions and possibly imposing sanctions on holding sovereign debt is that if you see any prospect of that happening then well as far as the pipeline goes troubled love to see the pipeline go it would mean he could potentially increase energy exports to europe and he would love that but about the rest i don't know that's a really hard question i asked feather meyer again about getting the u.s. on board without the u.s. boards very difficult to impose sanctions and to make it effective in particular because of course the growth rates is the dollar without the u.s. sanctions would be very difficult and we do see a large pollutions effect against pakistan through is
10:26 am
a result of. the fears wishes you something even if a country like. national financial markets like you go alone then the chances of success are i'm sorry to say that. so it's a big game of chess and terry i've always been a really bad chess player. i'll tell you what we'll play we'll see who is worse thank you so much ben brazil and our senior business editor. now sports the national football league opened their 2020 season on thursday night when the defending super bowl champions the kansas city chiefs defeated the houston texans 34 to 20 things are different this season due to cope with 19 only a limited number of fans were allowed there were there was also a sign of solidarity for the action started to addressing social injustice in the u.s. as far as the actual field hands
