and no central government have left much of libby's infrastructure, neglected with the sole mountain road that links it to the town of sha hot collapse and the floods is in the course. you do not forget the sheets and build dozers all about the general electricity company must intervene. we have been without electricity since saturday. we don't buy the water company has to get involved, they have to come to fix the drain pipe. so, but walk them some 8 and photo and rescue teams have arrived in libya, but with the country divided and the roads washed away. international help is struggling to reach those a need. nothing is working here. no national authorities, nothing. have a look and do something about it. we're experiencing a great injustice to. i don't know how many survivors have been left to dig through the mud and debbie themselves looking for their loved ones. the search for bodies as also moved out to sea for many of the photos and still missing were washed away . and ram eliza from care international,

significant one is filter were found out of these world. there is like more than 220000 families who have been displaced from their homes. this has more than 50000 people who are right now sheltered in schools. and they will be evacuated a few days of with no shelter and no place to go. who are missing the basic needs like clothes, food in their life, the wedding with no place to go. and then on top of that, you have bodies piling up everywhere and pulled from the rubble of the washy and from see with that in mind, how concerned are you about the possible outbreak of disease there? this is very no, that's a loved with the scale. can because of the aftermath the, with the, with water born diseases. right now there is no concrete reports of, of, of this. we have no further information, but we just saw for the best. yeah. and looking ahead, how difficult you think it is going to be for libya and for the people living in

the affected areas to recover from this disaster. is there any kind of timeline in mind there's coverage from such a disaster will take months even years, because um, most people in there, the mountains did not lose like one family member or 2 days old and so much higher families were wiped out entirely. so there's a survivors, it's a total of this would take a while to recover from. this is why the care is focusing on a very extensive psycho social support for the victims, families, the survivors of this event. and thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us on the units that isn't remote lives or from care international. joining us today from tripoli, so we can take a look at some other world news headlines at this hour. morocco has been shaken by aftershocks disrupting the search for victims. after last friday's earthquake,

it killed some 3000 people. more soldiers and aid workers are heading to a remote rural areas where entire villages were levels. authorities are working to reopen, damaged, and blocked roads. but hopes of finding survivors are fading of the, the irs as cross the 6 out of 9, so called a planetary boundaries that measure safe limits of conditions necessary to support human life. that's according to a new study co led by the head of the pot. some institute for climate impact research, the scientist issued a star warning on deforestation and pollution and said reducing greenhouse gas emissions is not enough. and a court in bangladesh and the child suits human rights activists for publishing, so called false information. critics say it's part of a crackdown ahead of elections early next year. the activists have been documented police brutality and alleged killings and disappearances of officers figures. while the italian island have left the 2 sides under a state of emergency, after

a record number of migrants arrived in recent days, many of them has now been transferred to the mainland fund. thousands remain in need of assistance. they arrived on small boats from north africa with some dying on the journey, and during rescue missions. more than a 100 boats packed, which was more than 6 and a half 1000 people in just over 24 hours. a number of vials, the small islands, permanent population numbers, this attacks and the coast guards capacity to end to set smugglers wrestles and pushing and tell you in 5 minutes to georgia, maloney's pledge to end the regular emigration to the test with such a politically charged issue. the human aspect to cross submitted to radian migration can be easily overshadowed. many has spent thousands of years for the perilous journey across the water. the thoughts when these human beings many of whom are still in the teens, arriving near that, they find themselves reduced to

a missed to, to stick. they become numbers to be shuffled around by bureaucrats. they become the light is probably going 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 calm forward with i to give that maybe kelly. ringback you got a that we try to give that mean formation and choose the closer and then they go towards the. busy producer is the southern most parts of it today, and the long standing flash point in the discussion of the migration, the underwater release agencies do the utmost infrastructure on such a small island is simply unable to cope. when a valuable number search you are more or less with the number we had in 2016,

which was an exception for a rivals that had insurance. what seems to be a big difference? 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 aimed at stopping migrants coming over the italian border. these approaches could well be emulated by other northern countries. many of the new arrivals height, this is the start of a new and back to life for them in europe, pushing brussels with under a year of until the parliamentary elections. it could mean the thought of yet another political stand of the migration. while its facilities on limp it is unable to cope with the influx of migrants, the officials there are appealing for help. meanwhile, germany has stopped taking in additional migrants who land in italy. berlin says

it's facing high migratory pressure. i asked catherine willard, director of therapy and council on refugees and exiles, why we are seeing the shift is ongoing political debate and hostility towards assigned them seek his and refugees and many countries of europe. there's also the perception in certain countries that doing more than other countries, whereas in front and what is always needed is a collective response. the actual numbers of people are rising all manageable, but they're only manageable if all the countries within the european union worked together. so that the situation of a to lee is not to introduce responsibility to deny access to tyrant tre of to prevent people of rising that would be illegal on the positive it to ladies the safety for the wrongs. initially, they should then be solidarity with actually in other countries supporting the offering relocation, for instance, for people who arrive initially providing assistance for people who will receive

perception and apply for sign them. initially, it is a question of geography after rule, the country is that the external quote is all likely to receive people because that's the point at which they enter the you. and it's still the case that the majority of those arriving in a you do have a international protection needs. although we often hit the opposite. actually, if we looked at the figures from last year, the protection, right? the percentage of people who receive a protection status, who are recognized as a nathan of international protection is very costly. so it's not a question of saying that these are not refugees. these are people who don't need protection, so must be prevented from arriving. yeah, so in your view, what has happened to this european solidarity? i'm just this week we saw the president of the urban commission are so funder line calling for you. unity on migration. but this seems to be an example of it faltering or so the is the ongoing situation of work to the rules in

general. and we see the rules that are a, robert, i'm favorable actually to the countries of external vote because the country is responsible for many assigned them applications, all the countries where people arrive. so in that sense actually for front. so germany, they benefit from the rules because it's more likely the to, to legal grace is responsible for people because that's the 1st country where they arrive. so that's one issue is we would argue the on friend this of the rules and generals of the 2nd issue is then the question of what to do in the situation of crisis. and in that situation, it becomes highly tent, some politicized. in a situation like this arrival of 7000 people on the small island of the coast, eventually it's essential that countries step in the criticize in the talking to me . and in many cases, these are people who has been rescued, just say,

and who actually and in respect to this international obligation since rescued or has allowed to be this involved. but so the alternative to other countries supporting it to lee, unfortunately, would be the, it truly refuses to allow rescued people to enter or refuses to rescue people on either of which would lead to suffering, including additional dest. i was catherine willard. there's deceased me earlier, she's the director of the european council and refugees and exiles. now just before it goes, get a reminder of our top story at this hour. within officials of warrens that up to 20000 people may have died in devastating floods triggered by heavy rain. the ones at the desk could have been avoided, is where the at a normally operating weather system coming up after a short break in its data use asia. why tie ones?

foreign minister told a one mosque the island is not for sale and why bangladesh is facing a delusion dang day cases. and what climate change has to do with that. all that and more coming up next week, my colleague, appearance, energy agent and thanks for watching the . every jenny is surprising. we've gone all out to give you some of the right people in your northern most count the police for a time but still very much alive.
