available in in the city. it's uh, there's not was the power outages selection and all of that. i know so the fact that these shows is we're lucky enough to stay standing actually all down her stay a huge number of people. so imagine, you know, dozens of people in that and, and a small house or small shanta. i mean, that would definitely come to you to a foster spread bath. it's a spread of disease and form water for disease and we have the base from, from other scenario. so from other situations, you know, early on the, we have to know a color outbreaks in certain zones, you know, a set things where there's not enough jimmy preparations. and yeah, yeah, that is definitely upset with the probably the biggest strengths that we are faced

. ready now, can you give us a sense of the scale of the recovery efforts? this is going to be a very, very long journey for libyans to full, for the use have shown enough resilience. i have to say to overcome the appliances conflicts and displacements. this is going to fit them back years. it's gonna take months program to probably, you know, come to tens with this shock. it's a really, i mean, the children who will now be displaced without home, without your school, without friends, without parents. you know, everything with these trauma is it's, it's got a big fact that it's all memories for these children as well. that is, that's why i just want to say that so on is as you know, international rich countries, how the supports for libya and you know,

they have to offer that's a truly devastating at what's happened there. i'm a buyer, i'm from the norwegian refugee cancel. thank you for being on data over here today . thank you. let's take a look at some of the of the stories making use around the world. the kremlin has confirmed that russian president vladimir putin has accepted an invitation to visit north korea. the invitation was extended by north korean leader at king john on after he held extensive talks with president putin in russia's far east. no date has been the 9th for the visit to the internationally isolated country. fire has gutted hundreds of shops in a market and bundle dashes, capital duyka. no casualties were reported from the blaze which broke out in the early hours of the morning before shops opened, fires are not uncommon and densely populated doctor which has grown rapidly in

recent years. to the world's 1st container ship running on green method all has been christened by you chief are a sort of funder line. she called the ship a pioneer for the future, and the ceremony and the danish capital copenhagen. methanol fuel is produced you using green energy, making it carbon neutral. italian island of long producer is under a state of emergency. after a record number of migrants arrived within 24 hours, authorities of already transferred many of the more than $6000.00 arrivals to sicily. the reception center online producer is designed to hold only 400 people more than a 100 boats packed to his more than 6 and a half 1000 people in just over 24 hours a number of vitals. the small islands, permanent population numbers. this attacks and the coast guards capacity to intercept smugglers wrestles and pushing and tell you in 5 minutes to georgia.

malone is pledge to end the regular immigration to the test with such a politically charged issue. the human aspect across submitted. so right in the, in migration can be easily, i've shadowed, many has spent thousands of years for the perilous journey across the water. but when these human beings, many of whom are still in the teens, arriving near that they find themselves reduced to a missed to stick. they become numbers to be shuffled around by bureaucrats that become the latest problem to be squabbled either by politicians. while those who were on the ground, those carrying for these weary young travellers do the best, i can to ease the situation we try to get so home for retire. ready give that maybe kelly. ringback you got a there, we try to give that information and choose the closer.

and then they go toward the northern a loving producer is the southern most parts of it today. and the long standing flash point in the discussion of the migration. and while release agencies do the utmost infrastructure on such a small island is simply unable to cope with a valuable number serge, we are more or less with the number we had in 2016, which was an exception for rivals that somebody had insured. what seems to be a bit different. now we do have a government more, right? we can get more. i'm di, migration gemini, has now suspended a voluntary deal to take in my goods landing. and it today and fonts announced tough a new meshes. i am stopping migrants coming over the italian border. these approaches could well be emulated by other northern countries. many of the new arrivals hate.

this is the start of a new and back to life for them in europe. pushing brussels with under a year into the parliamentary elections. it could mean the thought of yet another political stand off of the migration will stand off in brussels, looks lucky to get worse as our corresponding christine. when do i? because countries like germany recently renamed on a pledge to take in migraines, from arrival countries like italy and the far right government and rome doesn't want to take them back. here's christine. i'm just going to give you a little bit of backstory about what that arrangement was about under what's called a european voluntary solidarity mechanism. that's a complicated way to say i. e u. member states would volunteer to take some asylum seekers from the 1st arrival countries keep them for one year and then return them to the country that they 1st arrived. and the idea behind this arrangement was to relieve the pressure off of border countries when they are overwhelmed. with

arrivals for that one year period, germany now says that if he is refusing to take my grades back because under a regulation which is a dublin little assign them a application must happen in the country that you 1st arrived in. so germany saying that after this initial period, if he is refusing to take people back, hence it is no longer going to be positive. pacing in that mechanism. this really is the latest back and forth that we're seeing. stand off, if you will, between northern countries who they who themselves sale, overwhelmed germany says it is overwhelmed with the number of 1st time asylum applications that it can't cope with. the numbers of people that people who are meant to be applying for asylum in the 1st country they arrive, and this would be, it's cindy or greece, or a 1st arrival country should be going back. but if he is refusing to take people the there i choose ations between the member states off the other not holding out on its end of the blog. and so it is positioned and refusing to take people back is to say,

we'll overwhelmed. and we would like for other countries to assist with the load there, of course has been other issues in between that, but this is randy if the saying and the board of countries saying we're simply overwhelmed. we need most on to dias. he but of course, the rules, all the rules on migration, all of that and assign them application must happen in the 1st arrival country. so with this kind of a stand with, it almost looks that way because you need other member states to voluntarily take people into their territory. house them until such time is that expires and send them back. but if nobody's willing to take them back and nobody wants to take people in, it's not to you how this agreement can be going on any further. or corresponding christine ones where they're reporting from brussels. right? you're watching data view news coming up next in dw, and use asia. why was foreign minister told him most of the island is not for sale . and what does climate change have to do with

a deluge of tangled cases that of effective funds with josh or spanish? people have thought i'm more after a short frank unpopular folio terry richardson will be here from the top of the next hour. and don't forget to spend some more use on information on our website, www dot com and follow this on social media. i'll be back again tomorrow. take care the the
