lifeline is waiting to dock with over 200 migrants on board. the french president announced france and five other european nations,ncluding italy have agreed to divide up the welcome of the people on board but the ship has yet the land as planned in malta. robert sultan medics reports. reporter: after days of being stranded in the mediterranean more than 200 migrants on the german rescue ship lifeline will finally be able to go back on land. the prime minister announced he has struck a deal with malta to allow the ship to dock. mission my friend wrote on twitter it is not receiving confirmation taken land in malta. still no permits to be allowed the sale to malta. we have been stuck with just under 250 people or five days. if no one offers up a safe haven, not one eu state. severarapeople neeeed intens medical treatment. when it finally docks, the

migrants will be shared across six eu countries. emmanuel macron announced some will be heading to france. france will be one of the few member states that will pick up people on board the lifeline rescue ship when it arrives in the european port. the french officer refugees and stateless persons is already on y to malta to carry out its mission. italy and france accucused leline's captain of ignoring instructions to let the coast guard pick up the migrants. mall toward the ship will be investigated to check that it complies with international law. host: for more on this story am joined by marc perelman. the french president has been quite critical of the ngo's involved in this migrant crisis. what is he saying? reporter: an important shift. we saw the person say france would be one of the country's

welcoming those migrants stranded on this boat in the mediterranean when it arrives in malta. however he also said something really new. he said this cannot be accepted in the name of humanitarian action you cannot allow everything to pass. in the end you h smugglers by reducing the cost of crossing the mediterranean. he attacked the ngo, this particular ngo, that more brightly the ngo's trying to help those migrants crossing the mediterranean, often from libya. he did not go as far as others, especially on the far right or in france or even in power in italy who have accused those ngo's of being "complicit." he went in that direction.

obviously he says france is going to welcome some, but he also attacked the ngo saying they were enablers essentially of the smugglers and this has to stop because he wants to stop the migration. why is he doing this? obviously for political reasons because of polls showing a majority of the french are not in favor of welcoming migrants. it is a difficult line. there are also european calculations in this, but it's ananmportant shift the presidedt wants to signal in public yesterday. host: this comes ahead of the eu summit tomorrow. what is president macron hoping to get out of that in regards to the migration crisis? reporter: everyone is hoping for a compromise. there are lots of players in the room. they will all be in brussels tomorrow and friday. what they want is to try to strike a compromise. how do you deal with the migrants? they are refugees but also

economic migrants. clearly there are differences between eastern europe and western europe. there are differences between italy and france that have been vividly seen in recent days. and are divisions within the german coalition to the point where angela merkel is in a difficult position because the bavarian ally of angela merkel said we need to find a solution. we don't agree. president macron is trying to say we need toto find a compromise. fairly long nights in brussels the next two days. there is no guarantee there is will be a compromise. there is a big likelihood we will see more and more migrants desperately trying to cross the mediterranean before it is too late. they feel the europeans are trying to close the avenues. this is why we're seeing so many dramatic decisions.

the unified european position would be ideal, but it is far from certain he will get that after the summit meeting in brussels. host: thank you for that, marc. next now to morocco where a verdict has been reached in the trial of the leaders of the social protest movement is shut the country two years ago. some 50 people appeared in court but their present sentences ranging from one to 20 years. shock in anger and casablanca. friends, relatives and supporters of the 53 on trial vocal in protests. at the heart of the nine-month sentenced to 20 years in prison for conspiracy to undermine the security of the state. he is the process movement that

the ban. they decided to look past the neutral rhetoric the trump administration had stamped on it. they considered trump's own statement about muslims in the u.s. the supreme court did not do that. the new york daily news is continuing to refer to this not with a more neutral label of the travel ban. they are still calling it the muslim ban. host: some papers point out there was a piece of good news in the ruling. the u.s. supreme court finally overturned the ruling that upheld japanese internment during world war ii. reporter: it was called the korimatzu ruling. the chief justice of the supreme court wrote in his opinion it had been overruled and the court of history and has no place in the constitution. it is effectively overturning it. the fact these decisions were uombined to overturn korumatiz

and uphold the travel ban is kind of ironic. .t really is the new korumatizu the judges who dissented made the comparison very clearly. they set this is just like the law that approved japanese internment. they say this ruling will be the same type of shameful legacy for the supreme court. that is the majority opinion of much of the left-wing press. the new york times, the washington post, usa today have editorials coming out against this court opinion. host: some conservative papers are celebrating the decision. reporter: you can count on the wall street journal to give the conservative opinion. they are celebrating this today. they say the supreme court has risen above and defend the constitution against what they call anti-trump passions. host: the washington post reporting this ruling is having very real consequences for muslim americans. reporter: many told the paper
