biggest tournament of its kind with 32 teams participating for the 1st time as well. that shooting came less than 12 hours before the 1st match kicked off, does not appear to have had an audiological background. that's what officials are saying, but it did spark security concerns in the country where gun violence is still relatively rare. the hearts of new zealand largest city in lockdown, oakland is waking to the sound of sirens and had the cops is the sides of on police, on the streets that focus the building sites where a man um with a shotgun open fire killing at least 2 people need during several of us among those hats. a police officer.

oh, just hours before the city host, the opening game of the women's world cup. placing to the building within 10 minutes. a stuff from various scripts, right across time, a team, a card i responded in members of the public inside the building were yvette q. i said we are the possible we know that civil week has found refuge hiding inside the building during the event. police say the gunman moved through the sides and continued defy his weapon before containing himself within the right to shaft. he was late to pronounce that we were at right at the entrance and i so like 20 people rush and telling the students to move, i was like what happened then i go ask them to see they say like we saw a guy with the short learning he said, and he was aiming for people over 12000 members and find support and defend was and um, from where we were,

we were sort of friendships. the shooting happens close to with some of the teams taking pots in the wells cup of staying the new sealants prime minister said the incident won't affect that's ornaments. obviously this has been a very grim morning for us. um, but we uh, we are committed to hosting this tournament. there is no ongoing risk here. the police have no idea to find any ongoing risk. we will have a very active police presence to provide that prevent reassurance. incidents like they solved, revenues dealings, but never the last so sorry to you said taking no chances as the women's world cup kicks off with security tightens for the opening match in oakland. well before the new zealand norway much kicked off, i spoke to the w is oliver moody in oakland. i asked him how that shooting incident that affected the atmosphere in the city as well as you can imagine. sorry, a lot of people in open the been less, very shaken by what happens in the oil. so in this morning,

new zealand find where the shooting took place. that is right in the middle of a central business district of oakland. it really is one of the busiest parts of the city, thousands of people who look around that every day. lots of shots at the same card i'm using right now. it's a broadcast to you guys i bought yesterday. not a 100 meters away from, from where this incident took place. uh, it really is the heart of everything in the city. and so you can imagine that that does have an effect on the people who live here. nevertheless, it is a very good atmosphere around the site and we've seen people walking around the drums and special outfits and so on. that really is a buzz as you'd hike the arts in the game of a women's world cup. what i think is going to be interesting to see is the effect on the play is this area where the incident took place is where a lot of the team hotels, including tasks of norway, new zealand components in this opening guides to noise. so we, uh, it were nice to be seen how much of a psychological impact this will have on those players. so the tournament is going

forward. how important is this world comp for new zealand on it it's usually important to the development of football in new zealand. yeah, to remember that new zealand is not really the country new zealand, this rugby country, especially cricket country, take aiden park, the stadium. you can see behind me now is very up in the home of the old blacks. it also has cricket. and so these are the scores that you would usually expect to find if you come to new zealand. football has not really been on the map, sorry much, and women's football even more side. uh, but we know that these tournaments can really help to boost participation. they can help to spread a lot of, uh, when it's into sports and enjoyment of the sport. and certainly the events that we've been visiting so far here of showing that there will a lot of kids, especially coming out to, to meet and seems and say the same. and so it's very important that's an easy to

get some success out of this tournament to boost football out of school and make new zealand or football countries. and you've been speaking with some of the key players there. i understand. how are they feeling ahead of the opening match? well, one thing that keeps coming up from the key we play is when you speak to them, is that that pride in that heritage an invitation during the mallory heritage. so we visited the po for a, the mary welcome ceremony ad that was held for all of the teams, bison open, including the dues agency and the plans that you spoke to off of that. so it's about how connected they felt to that country. how proud they felt, how connected they felt for the distance. and uh, it really you could tell motivation those bias. i really want to when ali riley the, the co captain of the team is like to and she said, we go to get out of his grades. we go to in this much easy lunch, has never won a women's world cup game. in 15 attempts,

i thought this is number 16 and the hard things to make it happen here at eden. part of the thank you very much. correspond oliver moody there in auckland, new zealand interior ministers from the you are beginning to days. have talked in spain for a pressure attempt to reach agreement on a migration deal. almost 2000 people have drowned trying to reach europe. i see in the 1st half of this year and un says this year is set to be worse than last. let's take a look at some of those routes used by migrants desperate to reach the you. the eastern mediterranean route refers predominantly to arrivals in greece by way of turkey, but some migrants brave. the longer voyage to it fully believed to offer a better chance for finding a new home. the central mediterranean ripped is used by boats attempting to cross to italy in malta, setting out from libya and to new issue. among other places or the western

mediterranean re refers primarily to attempted c crossings from morocco to mainland spain, or by land via spain's on plays in the african continent, which are part of the. finally, there's the west african atlantic root of migrants wanting to cross to the spanish canary islands, mainly from morocco or cynical well, recent ship wrecks of migrant boats off the coast of greece and spain's canary islands means pressure is mounting to prevent further loss of life. but as the w, as jack patrick reports, europe's a long way from finding common ground on how to tackle the problem. hundreds of people have already drive this year as smugglers bodies go died in the mediterranean sea, it's raising questions of whether you policies that to blame. so we'll talk a is currently a person seeking asylum. in your opinion, you must apply to the 1st

e u country they arrive in. during the use 2015 migration crisis over a 1000000 refugees mainly from syria. arrived in greece and italy, asylum offices became overwhelmed. ever since numerous unsuccessful plans have been proposed to try to force of the e u countries to accept funds, but as of asylum seekers relieving the pressure on 1st arrival countries. finally, in june this year is you ministers agreed to a complex system for sharing responsibility or allowing countries to financially assist others. if they didn't want to accept to more migrants but hungry, imposed into trying to to p. the proposal saying they refuse to accept migraines or to pay insisting it will only encourage more people to head, to your rep, stopping that to a need before it begins is what the you cause the external dimension of its migration agenda. the block ones to try to prevent people from boating smugglers,

both on the north african coastline. the you is offering to needs 1000000000. your raised to keep the people that it's similar to the 2016 deal will be you struck with turkey billions of yours in exchange for retaining more than 3000000 syrians in the country. it worked, but migrant supports organizations said encourages countries like greece to prevent anyone from arriving in europe, pushing people back to where they came from, which is the legal under international law. 3 says it's protecting the use board is the used bought a god from tex, ended his own search and rescue missions in the mediterranean code operations sophia in 2020 and now only patrols to enforce board is it was accused of failing to step in and save lives during the recent ship, right? nippy loss in greece, the agencies boston says they can only inform national bodyguards of impending

tragedies before we could do actually. now, the use fundamental right itself is the says from tech should leave greece entirely as it risk being implicated in a legal push box. as things stand, the use migration policy remains unresolved. just as summer arrives and unexpected search of people voting smugglers bows, tried to reach the european union for some analysis. now let's bring in and cos she's a migration expert at the german institute for international and security fairs. the s w p. countries have been struggling to reach agreement on migration reform for a very long time. are they getting any closer to a common position? yes, i think it's fair to say they're getting closer about a month ago in early june, the member states agreed on a common position for 2 of the most controversial elements of the overall result

package, the so called assignment and direction management directive. so that is meant to replace the government system that is intact, so far and the side of each other wrecked. if this is only a common negotiating position of the council, what still outstanding i tried. ok. negotiations. what do you in parliament, however, so remember what sort of stumbling blocks have been taken from the content of always because they're just coming, criticized books and some religion. types of elements are still not agreed upon. and the new member states, because this is all kind of abstract at this point. but what, what sort of policies, concrete policies, or the e u. member states likely to agree on in as well. they have so far

um what, what the member says have agreed on. um a are a number of um, policies that will amount to, to voted procedures and f b u x turn a bonus um the sharpened side of procedures for people coming from countries that have um, no, it's having recognition rates basically on an extension of the states to country rule, meaning that people can be more easily returns to countries deemed safe to which that may have transitive. what they have not agreed on. and i think that's important because that's sort of the bulk of negotiations from now on, is what you do in situations of mass arrivals. there's a, there's a crisis regulation still under discussion. that is meant to both stipulate,

mandatory solidarity measures in situations of mass arrival. and they're all good from normal asylum standards as having procedure standards in those situations. and thank you very much. that was an call from the german institute for international and security firms. thank you very much. take a look at some of the other stories making headlines for around the world. hundreds of supporters of she, i know some clerical kind of outside are, have storm. the swedish embassy in baghdad. they scale the walls of the building and lit a fire inside, angered by plans to burn another copy of the current in stock on the swedish foreign ministry said it's stuff are safe to the us as it's coordinating with south korea and sweden to gather information on the states of a us soldier who crossed into north korea. officials say, travis king, was facing discharge from the us army when he fled, while on

a which means not boring and ukrainian today that feels like a cruel joke. this coach, they used to be home to about 700 people. now there's nothing for them to come back to the board. it shows, it seems to be to pains me to see this because they used to be live here who lives it. yeah. you know, the united voters push the, sometimes it's hurts even to see the land. the land is constantly being torn apart by showing no smoke out. the nature suffers, people suffer, the country suffers ever since that is a live stuff. is there ever since socrates the system? as we're filming, we experience why no one's coming back. as russian troops are treated the mind, the more really quick lane we have to move fast. the russians are constantly firing. what i was about to say was that the russians mind the whole village as well as their positions on the

front lines. this strategy means every step of the territory ukrainian troops re game is paid for it with this is the town of villa kind of us. ok. the russians never got this far, but we're just a 5 minute drive from this coaching. here. a successful counter offensive can come fast enough this time of year. this place would normally be bustling with life families and people just enjoying the sunny day. but now there's just absolutely nothing left. there's barely a building intact. the sound of artillery here is just relentless. it just does not stop. billy kind of a silica is one of the closest towns to the front lines which civilians still living in it. it had a pre war population of about 7000. now locals, tell me there are just a few 100 left. tatiana is one of them. will storms cause this sierra july. i was
