maintenance. we said that nobody to listen to us and now the whole of, during the slide it to the situation in the nearby tentative sousa is similarly grim, more than a decade of conflict. and no central government have left much of liberties infrastructure neglected with the soul mountain road that links it to the town of shaw hot collapse and the floods is in the course of you know, what the issue is and build. those are, some of 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 up some aid and folder in risk. you teams have arrived in libya, but with the country divided and the roads washed away. international help is struggling to reach those in 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 those and still missing were washed away from eliza from care international, gave us this update on the situation. the biggest challenges would be that the storm destructive all the roads to pleading due to the area of the rooms of locked the supply is the supply chain special for food and medication. it's very difficult to reach. and one of the most 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 and even like the basic hygiene kids and move on to some other new

style and officials on the italian island of len. produce that are appealing for european union assistance to process a record number of migrants. more than 7000 people landed on the island and recent days, the equivalent of them produced as normal population. they've been arriving on small boats from north africa, lining up in the midday heat, waiting to be transferred to cecilio the mainland to the migrants riding by bay till new tale and island developing producer have high hopes for the future in europe. slowly on the floor, i will go to france. i want to go to friends to live out. my dream is if i want to help out my family and get them after the corporate team enjoy football is my passion. that's why i came. i still got them, so i would just, i guess you'd be but this tree may prove hard to fulfill front says integrity. administer recently announced pounds to seal the countries border with italy. in an effort to stem the influx of migrants. italy's deputy prime minister my to sell

the condemned what he called the luck of solidarity from other european countries. little the i set it at the beginnings and what's happening and i'm producer, is the desk if you were to pick em all. ringback the data baby represents the day if you're, it's political, social, and cultural, 5 years old, i guess because each of the is alone. i just then add to this, the unfortunate timing with which berlin and parents have said they will close that boat. is they totally queued. yeah, well aid was the local authorities on them to do the struggling to provide sufficient food, medical care, and accommodation for the new arrivals. many of him and now sleeping on make shift beds outside the reception center of that which has a capacity of any 400 people on the conditions. appraising too

much for many bits of these right wing government has pledged 45000000 euros to learn to do the to help the island best to cope with the migrant arrivals while it's close and we'll help from other e. u. countries continues to go $100.00 and with land producer struggling to cope with the influx of new arrivals. italy and officials have criticized france and germany's decision to turn away migrants for lynn says it's a spending of program to take and more of my friends who land in italy saying it faces high migratory pressure. i asked katherine buller, director of the european council and refugees and exiles why we are seeing the shift is ongoing political debates and hostility towards asylum seekers and refugees and many countries of europe. there's also the perception in certain

countries that they're doing more than other countries. and whereas in front and what is always needed is a collective response. the actual numbers of people, the writing all manageable, but they're only manageable as all the countries within the european union worked together. so that the situation of a to lee and it's not to introduce responsibility to deny access to tyrant tre of to prevent people of rising not with the legal on the pos, eventually the soonest. if people are wrong, if initially they should then be solidarity with actually in other countries supporting offering relocation, for instance, for people who arrive initially providing assistance for people who will receive perception and apply for sign. a minute today is the question of geography of to rule. the countries at the external voters are likely to receive people because that's the point at which they into the you and it still the case that the majority

of those arriving in a you do have a international protection needs. although we often hear the opposite. actually if we look at the figures from last year, the protection, right, the percentage of people who receive of protection status, who are recognized as a need 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. yep. so in your view, what has happened to this european solidarity? and just this week we saw the president of the european commission are still funder line calling for you unity on migration. but this seems to be an example of it faltering. so the is the ongoing situation of war 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 assign them up locations, all the countries where people arrive. so in that sense,

actually for the 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 unfairness 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 tense and politicized. in a situation like this arrival of 7000 people on the small island of the coast, of actually it's essential that country step pin and to criticize in the, talking to me. and in many cases, these are people who has been rescued at say, and who actually, and in respect to this international obligation, since rescued or has allowed to be this about the so the alternative to other countries supporting it to lee unfortunately would be that it's really refuses to

allow rescued people to enter or refuses to rescue people on either of which would leads to suffering including additional death. so it's catherine bullard, their director of the european council on refugees and exiles. we can turn our attention now to some other world news headlines at this hour. for those supreme court has handed down the 1st sentence of a riot are involved in the storming of government offices in january. the supporter of former president jr. bull scenario was jail for 17 years. several others are still to be tried for their role in riots and the capital brazilian following both in arms election loss. a court in bangladesh has jails to zoom in rights activists for publishing, so called false information. critics say as part of the crack down the head of elections early next year. the activists had been documenting police brutality and alleged killings and disappearances of opposition figures. and it has now been more than 2 years since the tale of on return to power in afghanistan and imposed severe
