and. it's not dignity which we will. everyone. but despite the squalid conditions on the streets many migrants have said they prefer to stay there than risk being detained for months and then you can't. going to be good in the look that comes through not that i want a good one we want a free life we've come here to live we are human we are not animals. they put us in a place where there's no life and it's like a jungle. a human cannot live in such tense. greek authorities say the place was started by some of the camp's residents angered by lockdown restrictions and the overcrowded morry account. in recent days migrants have been protesting demanding to leave the island and seek asylum in other e.u. countries. but while several european states have offered to take in migrants from less costs others say they will not their office extend to providing more aid and
1:04 pm
even more tense but no further. call for more on the situation on lesbos let's cross over to journalist francisco. the police operation is on the way to move the migrants and refugees into the new tent camp how is that situation unfolding. well as a man people are moving because it's really grow couldn't lot of people didn't have any running board or sufficient food supplies in the last 8 days no no sanitary facilities no water to wash the children and all of it so at the moment really these last days of starvation also dehydration are making people really go quietly into the camps now however there is still reluctance to to really approach that sites but as you say there's still some reluctance but probably conditions inside that new camp are better than. out on the streets why are so many reluctant still
1:05 pm
to go into the new town. well the people already highly. round the years and months in moria where there was no medical supplies that it was no legal advice let people who really surviving every day and this big fire that broke us out last week was kind of happening every day subsequently for the last year or so and there's a lot of people with chronic diseases like us 900 to see con get any and. medications and over $170.00 days of the lockdowns of people all fearing to be put in the military so it would stay think is a prison at this point. and what do the refugees that you've been talking to say they want to see happen. well most of the people i talked to at the mandate just needed oxygen everyone is a medical case by now and said they want to go into safety to whatever cost that is yeah many people just want to tell their children to have some kind of that plan
1:06 pm
for the next days and weeks and the main dish they exchange and front of because over 60 percent of family so that may be what i hear it's safe to say as a. journalist francisco could try us on this bus thank you francis. you. know we're joined by one fernando lopez are allowed he is the chair of the european parliament's committee on civil liberties justice and home of fast thank you for joining us we've just heard the situation of maria it's a serious issue and it looks like it's politically created to keep migrants away to scare them off is that official e.u. policy now. absolutely we 100 debate just today in the european parliament spit said 1000000 times this tragedy was predictable and was announced through all the debates in deliberate community it's absolutely
1:07 pm
intolerable it's unacceptable that there has been 30000 then 20000 no 13000 people completely homeless with no sanitation facilities with no roof with no access to medicines it's absolutely incompatible with european values as it is incompatible the narrative which aligator that migrants on a threat to the european security or to the european identity there has to be a more humane approach which is precisely what we have been asking for more along the way we are waiting for a so-called new pact on my regime on asylum which is a whole new package of pieces of legislation but one thing is sure the europe. parliament stands for binding surely directly as it is proclaiming the lisbon treaty shared responsibility european search and rescue and of course legal pathways so that those who are. addressing the european union don't
1:08 pm
have to risk their lives by exposing themselves to the this is trafficking of human beings with these catastrophic results that we have seen about the committee that you personally chairs responsible for put press waiting member member governments to at long last agree to a common policy towards dealing with my when folks like you have the chief botts have you. there committee which i chair is the heaviest workload when it comes to law making in this european parliament and this european parliament is a law making house we have actually made laws on migration we have actually made also an asylum but you know what there's an increasing members increasing number of member states flag grantley violating european law and of course they violate the reception conditions directive and they. don't perceive your directive and the qualifications directive when they practice pushbacks or they deny human rights in
1:09 pm
the external borders of the european union ok so who are all these who was in the staff vassal as he's asking them but yes. well all member states who practiced massive pushbacks in the external borders of the european union would disregard of the geneva convention and the european law on asylum and may have a kind of mailing european law and that while there has to have been allegations that that is the case not only in croatia in greece in excel or borders but the point i'm making is that it is not enough to ask their member states who have vulnerable borders of the european union behaving and respecting european law it takes social solidarity from the rest because one thing is sure it's absolutely unacceptable. but those countries who have external borders through the european union like it is the case of greece malta cyprus and spain with thousands arrive into the canary islands from the worst and african coast feel that they have been
1:10 pm
left on the wrong that they have been left alone and facing all the responsibilities of the broad there has to be a shared responsibility and that shared responsibility as a leader of the is a monday of the treaty of lisbon is not a wishful thinking it's a legal mandate how can the asking for solidarity is one thing comes to force them . their whole. the whole the whole of the european union has to respond the commission has to launch infringement procedures and it has the european court of justice has convicted those countries who denied shared responsibility when he came to read occasion programs for instance hall and then poland poland hungary which have been convicted for denying the secret group the notorious visitor group denying all shared responsibility not accepting a single a single person being relocated to their territory where it is a monday that they have to be part of the relocation programs because they are binding law of the european union once and under lopez a chair of the european parliament committee on civil liberties just as in home

1:17 pm
pandemic itself it's mainly the counter measures as we know children are fortunately least affected by actual coronavirus itself so it is mainly the sort of secondary impacts the result all health services having to focus on coronavirus and providing less the it is that a more main main stream services that have dropped off so we've seen all over the world you know less access to clinics the normal things like childhood immunizations treatments for acute especially infections like pneumonia also less access to things like family planning services that adolescents so it's the knock on effects of the pandemic and the things like the school closures that i've had the biggest impact on children and on the briefing if you can we're seeing this increase just tough to get into the pandemic what's the outlook. unfortunately outlook is pretty bad this this study doesn't have

1:20 pm
in a country of 1300000000 people experts are warning that these figures might be misleading saying india isn't counting many deaths a claim that the health ministry has strongly denied. a certain degree of undercounting no doubt but certainly not to explain their. numbers don't don't for example if you look at debts a 1000000. do it their current number is about 60000000 and the united states it's about 4 times less population don't do that for a 1000000 so you cannot really explain that you are on the basis of undercount to. death statistics were already unreliable before the pandemic in india with many indians dying at home without the presence of a doctor. the lack of data can make it hard to identify where spikes are occurring

1:25 pm
is better than a lot of people expect. then i think we will play with his. media have never won any major titles and yet they've still made it into the history books they currently share a the record for most promotions to the bundesliga but they really want to avoid is becoming the lone record holder for most relegations and it's going to be an uphill task because they have the lowest budget in the division. but what an underdog team needs most is the support of fans due to coronavirus measures bielefeld home stadium won't be full for the forseeable future. will you miss the fans the feeling on the pitch just like the emotions it's absolutely not the same it will be a tough season for bealefeld on their return to germany's top division they hope the team spirit and chemistry will carry them that may just suffice in order for them to stay on the big stage with the league smallest budget. not good luck to be

1:33 pm
a catastrophe with the message lesbos has been left with the huge numbers of refugees for too long now he hopes things will change. for libyan people and for myself. in a tragic way. because. something that. happened with this tragic way i'm very happy that we didn't have any people storing the wounded people but still it's a good it's a big progress. the inhabitants of lesbos don't want it to be an island for refugees any more they repeatedly set up roadblocks they don't want to 2nd moria and say the refugees should leave their island marriott so my docky lives in moria their teacher experienced firsthand how her neighborhood became radicalized at 1st many welcomed refugees but then the mood changed. get all over time things happened. there were
