and union shows solidarity it 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

perspective needs to to leave the island so this is a very. very difficult situation for the refugees and of course for the local residents as well xander thank you very much for that update that was xander from nomen on the greek island of lesbos. the european union is set to unveil a new pact on migration and asylum which will shape it blocks policy in the years to come it's hoped it will help prevent the kind of chaos seen in the morea refugee camp that use commissioner for home affairs has told e.w. news she believes all member states will by the proposals i spoke to commissioner in a short while ago and i began by asking her why the e.u. up to no has failed to agree on a common humanitarian approach to migration. survive but i can say that this is my overall tosk to present in a few weeks new compact on migration asylum and i spent

a lot of time to go shopping in talking with member states some palm meant and other stakeholders and i do think that we can percent holistic. proposal that can get acceptance from member states because it's really necessary both for the solidarity between member state that we have a. solid solidarity mechanism but also to dishonor directly with these individuals that are now as you just saw saw here living on the streets and of course that it's not sustainable that the context that you say it's not sustainable what is happening on lesbos and the and also the european policy on migration in general this new cut 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. the acute situation we have to handle right now but that's why we are active together

with the greek authorities together with members say 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 years but i'm also responsible for setting up a new legislative proposal so that we will have a better and more system a more sort of darity and more recipients 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. civil look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today russia wants to question opposition leader alexina body in a berlin hospital officials say the interior ministry was preparing a request for its officers to shot a german investigators the kremlin has rejected germany's findings that he was
