2:03 pm
waiting before this. they may be as generous as these gestures may be. lum produces simply cannot accommodate all the people that have arrived here. so the teddy and government is moving them from the island. from here, the migrants are being sent to sicily, and that's going to be about a 10 hour journey on this vessel that they're boarding behind me. once they reach sicily, they're going to be relocated to different cities across instantly. some of going as far as rise up north as the migrants move on, the pressure on the island is easy. but the tension among european governments of the migration is growing. 6 and dw christine one well, who finds that report from lum producer is joining us now from one of the migrant reception centers. the christine. you painted a vivid picture of the tension, the difficulties that come with such an enormous number of arrivals. how things
2:04 pm
develop that since you 5 veterans towards the monica were sandy outside, the only migraine for 6 in the center on the island of land produced that as well this morning, rick ross told us there were about 2800 people behind this fence that you see behind me this capacity i have to point out can only was designed and can only accommodate about 400 people. full 20, full 50 at max to be spoken to people who have been behind dispense. they tell us the conditions are really, really difficult. it is squashed, it is crowded. the few toilets that all day, obviously not the mouth for the thousands of people that are behind that fence. many people really want to get out in the minutes that we've been standing waiting to go live. we've seen scuffles breaking off. people are sitting in the heat, the people right at the edge here. all people now waiting to be escorted to a bus that will take them to the port that will ferry them off of the island. the situation is really desperate. you and elsewhere on the island in the center,
2:05 pm
there has been some tension. we had some people gathering around the city, sent out the reckoning to block the inputs of the red cross. these are people who say the, they don't want the migrants in the way, we quote, the deputy may ask who, who spoke to me and was really angry about the fact that the european union member states have not stepped in to help you to me at this time please have him listen to him to the message. the test to get through is that you a pest to wake up thinking they would all but because the european union has been absent for 20 years. when they all g, today we give this signal to success. you know, for sure that introduce inception and suffering for 20 years. it's been recycled, logically destroyed, to come in through the story of the deputy may of the definitely overwhelmed by the situation and also feeling left alone by europe. christine, when a come you mentioned it before is so far beyond capacity. what's all the leading
2:06 pm
conditions like for the new arrivals, those who are not it's being transported on to the next vessel. well, those people are facing really cramped conditions having to sleep out in the open. it's really, really hot. we've seen some of the foods that they get, it's biscuits, it's past the, it looks reasonable, but people sufficing over it. because of course, when the results has brought out, the crowds tend to jump. a women told us that really this been fighting. there are a lot of men as well men of number women by foss, so you can just imagine the kind of energy that is inside to a young man making in the he's in really frustrating conditions. you've seen some scuffles breakout between some of the migrants. it tends to be between the north african migrants and the sub, so hard african migrants. but overall, some of them do leave the facility and run around on the islands. they have met low cost that they say have shown them kind this. we indeed have seen this any sort of an immigrant sentiment we picked up on is really in the small numbers for the most
2:07 pm
part that has been sent to derek on this island and big if it's by local volunteers to try and help the situation behind this the spanish, but i really cannot express to you just how difficult the situation is here for people. and of course the plan is to evacuate people from the island to remove about 2000 people today. but as we saw yesterday, this takes hours to remove a batch of about 400 people can take up to 6 hours. and then of course, once they pull to ferry, if they're going to sicily that could be about a 10 hour journey, etc, on the vessels like the one we saw in the reports taking people to the ascending price. i just briefly christine because the people on the island helping but the, the tell the problem in it's a georgia, maloney also asked the army to build a laundry reception centers. and he wants to extend the time limit for the detention of migrants on those viable solutions yet, but not for me,
2:08 pm
immediate show to me. so this, what, what's really needed now is, is how, in terms of losing people as quickly as possible of this island and distributing them to add the cities that is the main priority. it's really what the migrants would need because these conditions on not ideal, he's coming to real criticism for not allowing stop a search and rescue missions in the water, which would have alleviated the pressure off the island because into us would have picked people up and distributed them to other parts of it today as opposed to having everybody cramped to yes. so these are all long term solutions that unfortunately will not address the situation unfolding behind the scenes right now . why some of these christine moons while they are reporting from a migrant reception center on lum produces. thank you so much, christine. let's take a look now. it's some of the other stories making news around the welts. north korean leader kim jong on his med rushes, defense minister and laurie voss stock russian stake media report that came was shown hypersonic miss. i'll send you
