started trickling into india from sri lanka, according to save the children, 2 out of 3, sri lankan families are struggling to find enough to eat. so those who can have started arriving by boat across the narrow street that separates sri lanka and india most landing on the island of rummage, warren. it's not far about 20 kilometers, but it's the open ocean and the crossings can be risky. so far, the newcomers are mostly tamils, the ethnic minority group that fought a devastating civil war and sri lanka for decades. they've come to india's tom on the do state, a region that shares deep cultural and linguistic ties. d, w, age is critical, narrow and then is in ramesh, where i'm in, the southern state of tom will not do a critical what's the latest, what are you seeing and hearing down there, i am standing in raw mission,

but this is a goal. sit down because the southern most don't fall off in the, the southernmost. so this is better yet, this really, actually, so this is for the past few months, you taken on the crisis in free lanka, many sri lankan refugees are coming here illegally through the board. it takes about 3 hours for them to cross over here, and they will sit by night and now nearly 100 refugees have come to the coast line . they come to vanish, gordion auditors night. these are the points that they come and land and they are being taken by enforcement officials. she will the rest of the gap in month of them, but they're being held now and they have been coming for the past few months. said disney, yes. well, i'm looking at the see behind you. it looks pretty call right now, but you mentioned night journeys. how dangerous is this boat trip and do you expect to see more rivals?

it is very dangerous actually. and in the last week of june, an elderly couple tried to cross over there. there is a very old and they tried to crossover. and one of the women she died due to the hydration when she landed on. she wasn't conscious and she landed on the shore and she was taken immediately to the hospital that she died. 3, she said for her. so. so it was dangerous for them, but they do have to come here. they said they, they sell their homes, they use that money, everything that they have to rent those boats and they come here, they had it. so this is not the 1st time refugees have been coming to them. and i do so w r, do before and suite on god during the civil war. a huge baby off refugees did come here because thomas lardo, they are more culturally and linguistically, related to them, they speak the same language they, they feel like this is their home. so they do keep coming. even though it is not a huge number. it's not a huge wave. acid was during the civil bar,

it doesn't significant number. it's nearly a 100. and they have been said, any coming families have been coming with children, but children are getting this or that there aren't any people. mostly these people are coming from northern and eastern provinces of 3 long. got, this is ashley and i can most recite the most. this is, this is so these 3 are going down. those are the people were coming. your ask refugees and us the grow. this is not, you would be the, not a crisis as of now. but if the economic rises in freelance is a guess, was there is the chance that those would come here. so now you mentioned local officials being involved. how are they managing the situation? i mean, it looks like in the past, this has been a route for refugees. are they treating the refugees? well india is not body to refugee conventions. so they are, are, they are treating these kid if you see cases on a humanitarian basis they did,

they are not bothered to any law. india does not also have any domestic refugee loss due to ado handle these refugees. so these refugees are currently housed in monday, but mr. refugee camp there, they are housed along with us re lincoln sybil. refugees. so they're placed there. and yes, they are guaranteed they're right now that you're not allowed to come out of there . and because, because there is uncertainty because it does not bother you, do any international refugee laws, not that is the regional domestic god refugee law for them. and it is unclear as to how obvious bruce did proceed from dead in the future. will they be the battery or take them back? just re lanka, remains to be critical. narayan and thank you so much for joining us. thank you. ah, a tokyo court has ordered former executives from the operator of difficulty when nuclear power plant involved in the 2011 meltdown to pay
