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 locked on 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 parts of the say they will not their office extend to providing more aid and even more tense but no further. chairs the european parliament's committee on civil liberties justice and home affairs he told the w that he considers a lack of action on moriah a failure it's absolutely 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 our system medicines it's absolutely incompatible with your pm values as it is incompatible the narrative which allocate that migrants are 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 all along the way we can get more on this from tom fountain 3 sure he's a belgian member of the european parliament welcome to t w i can europe provide a more humane approach. well i do think europe can do a lot more and we need to help degree's government by giving them extra funds to build and you can't send then these immigrants is refugees these be brought to new can but most of all we must determine another policy we cannot host everybody in
5:05 pm
the world who wants to who's looking for a better future so i think the e.u. must do a lot more and they must protect and secure the borders ok so extra funds to build a new can have and what about dealing with vague 12013000 people who are very in that camp the problem seems to be that the system the e.u. system won't allow them to progress from there through the refugee and asylum process you know but that's logic you need to ask for asylum in the country where you 1st step foot and now the e.u. has been thinking about and discussing about relocating migrants what we have seen over the last year that years that since anglo-american with her and us a policy she actually invited to 3rd world to come to europe and millions and millions are have already come and millions and millions are more to come so we need to change policy we need to adopt an australian style model and we need to be
5:06 pm
honest they are not welcome here they need to seek for asylum and refuge in the regions of arjen and not in europe. but we must deal with the world as it is not as you would like it to be what do we do with the $12000.00 human beings who were on last boss now well as we speak the greece government has been building a new camp for the refugees so they need to be brought to this camp as i saw in your small documentary about it they are refusing it so if people are refusing to be. brought into safety by our governments then we choose to just send them back to the country they belong to we have established that the e.u. has been unable to send them anywhere and that's the problem but just to correct you slightly bare reluctant to go but they're going to have refused to go in let's
5:07 pm
go back to one of the ports that you made that they are not a welcome who does not welcome them and how does this this lack of and how should the you act on this lack of welcome if indeed it exists. well it is very clear if you look at opinion polls all across the european nations not only in my nation but also in germany or others people consider mass migration as a threat illegal migration is also a threat not only to us but it is actually the business model of human smugglers and by allowing. illegal immigrants do apply for asylum in europe then we are sustaining this model of the business model of the human traffickers so i think we need a completely different policy and i do agree that we need to invest in safety for people who are under threat i'm not blind to the difficulties in in the rest of the world especially in syria for example but 1st of all we need to agree inside europe
5:08 pm
a more common policy and i believe that this common policy needs to agree that the silence system as we have it right now is just not just not a political anymore so given that everybody knows that the bizarre them system doesn't work it's been not working for 5 years so what would you like to see the european commission president yesterday said she would present proposals to the parliament by the end of the month what would you like to see in that we need to make it clear choice. we have no boundaries within the european union and strong boundaries outside of the european union either we abolish the free movement of people within the european union and if germany if the german people would like to host more asylum seekers then they should do so but i know that my people and many other peoples are fed up with this mass migration so i think the european grouping

commission should finally start to listen to what the people are demanding and what what they are demanding is 0 migration. tom voluntary member of the european parliament thank you for joining d.w. thank you meanwhile the next refugee drama has already begun at another of europe's external borders spain's canary islands 4000 people have arrived there by boat since the start of the year hundreds of thought to have died while making the dangerous journey across the atlantic many are fleeing the worsening security situation in messiah health with boat setting off from morocco and western sahara hundreds of kilometers south and mauritania unsetting cow the story is the same while arrivals to mainland spend fell by half compared to the same period last year landings on the canary island increased sevenfold. sea

after a harrowing journey abdul camara and his friend you driving to read a 3 days on the atlantic in a rubber dinghy on what's considered the most dangerous migration route in the world. it's estimated that one in every 15 migrants dies on the way. suddenly we heard air leaking from the reporting at that moment everyone was scared to death i had the feeling that this could really be the end for us i thought about my little sister who would then be left without me because. i thought about friends i would never see again when i was in a state of shock and i couldn't move anymore. they made it just 2 of 1000 migrants who have arrived in the canary islands in the past weeks. many islanders feel abandoned by the rest of europe. and officials say fuerteventura can't take any more people. new arrivals are sealed off
5:11 pm
in hotels that's attracting criticism from human rights groups who say the migrants have no access to asylum procedures and lack the most basic necessities and then there's the island's tourist association. but there are currently working to promote fuerteventura as a safe and clean island that's in the best of health nobody likes to see a hotel full of migrants now that's reality. adding to the stress the government sees growing concern over corona virus infection rates immediately upon arrival people reaching the island are tested and one of the last groups half the test were positive many newcomers like camera and 2 ray want to leave the island as soon as possible and move on to the european mainland somewhere they can find work and are safe from deportation back home. to take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world colleagues of

won't see his name on the list of coronavirus fatalities a muscular disorder was the official cause of death the family are confused. i feel that they are hiding death records otherwise why would they take my father so far away for christmas. the government is saying my father died of my esteem but they have created him according to cope with 19 protocol for the bill they sell so. it's not a unique story and could explain why india has only had about 80000 coded 19 deaths 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. numbers of deaths for example if you look at deaths 1000000 the.
5:15 pm
number is about 60000000. and the united states is about 4 times less population don't do that for a 1000000 so you cannot really explain that you're on the basis of undercounting. death statistics were already unreliable before the pandemic in india with many indians dying at heart without the presence of a doctor the lack of data can make it hard to identify where spikes are occurring as the economy begins to reopen leaving many worried that a certain deaths could be following the latest rise in cases when you take a look at some more developments in this pandemic will start in new zealand which has got into recession for the 1st time for more than 10 years forcing the prime minister to send to our dirt to defend her government's pandemic response ahead of next month's general election report from unicef and save the children's warning of

5:17 pm
next year to come. i guess it will last until the end of the next year until significant parts of the population can be provided a vaccine so we won't get rid of moss anytime soon and so even while we stop vaccinating the population not just parts we'll have to wear mosques in countries like germany where incidences no there will be nothing like a population based protection and this is something we probably shouldn't consider for any country in europe. in other parts of the world the situation is very difficult to judge for instance enough for a car we have signals of lower. let's say disease
5:18 pm
presentation less severe presentation this may be due to lower wage profile but we we need to consider that what we're looking at now is urban areas on the african continent where the population composition is particularly young with all of that you know which regions around the world are causing you the greatest concern at the moment. well india is. the current biggest concern. india has a house of big population density and the virus is spreading. i wouldn't say in an uncontrolled fashion but it is almost like this. then of course areas in south america. and i already spoke about africa so the african continent is is a little bit off of a mystery of the time being. but also in the northern hemisphere winter is coming
5:19 pm
and there are areas including in europe where there is little control where countries already go into autumn with the high background incidence and where the trust in let's say the rigidity of the medical structure but also. the power of public health intervention is low. many countries around the world have looked at germany as an example west things went fairly well what did we do right. so the decision point probably was john germany reacted very early on so this is not in terms of calendar date but in terms of the relative. point of time when contact restrictions sometimes called a lockdown were imposed. as compared to the actual development of the epidemic so we. we knew about our epidemic based on the border testing and this why
5:20 pm
it spread. availability of water testing is something that discriminated germany from other countries. one reason of this being that we were really fast on the lap level to react another explanation of course our about amec start it somewhat later you've already said that we will have to live with masks for a long time to come still even with a vaccine in place so when will we be able to hug each other again grandparents but also strange is that this will be a very original question so in. parts of the world i wouldn't be surprised to see population protection during the next year to come. but this means they. will have undergone. an epidemic that may not. appear such
5:21 pm
a severe epidemic based on their age structure so we already spoke about a free car where this could happen. at least this is what i wish that african populations are protected because of their younger age profile that would be a very good. good expectation. in in other parts of the world we where the concept is to avoid. widespread virus transmission 2 to wait for deployment of a vaccine we can expect to until end of $21.00 onwards i would expect it's impossible to make projections but the next year will be a year in which we where moss thank you very much. take a look at the stories making news around the world a call from pro-democracy activists in hong kong to boycott the opening of the new
