if the oceans when they want to combat drugs in america or asia they find the means to do it and. if they really want to combat illegal fishing they have the means to do read they have the airplanes to photograph the they have the patrols to stop them from fishing in our seas. because they are shrinking our country and what is more serious. they are destroying our fishing resources and marine wealth for. the europeans regulation. which is slowly acquiring a global day bench and a worldwide effect has been implemented only for
6:30 am
a year now the regulation seeks the source of the profit if we manage to put a stop to profit making then the legal fishing will stop and the only way to do that is to seize all. imports to europe. also has deposits in marine life deposits in january imported to europe must be his certificate which credible to certify people that they are not the product of illegal fishing and that they have been caught according to the regulations with. voting illegal fishing certificate is good and. official legally have networks that bypass also. allow them to sell in the european asian and north american market fish that has been caught illegally in the consumer from north america or. sure europe will not distinguish and the market
6:31 am
stalls. knows the fish is good but if it is been fished illegally or not that does not concern the consumer but of course this is not easy and the european union is doing all it to get it but don't forget that this is just another player on the global chess board and let's not forget there is great resistance and huge interests right now in our effort to form and. which will respect all that you mention the sustainability is of this is meant by a lot of opposition. these are all words. at the same time the ships are in the ocean every day today we are trying to establish an economy of subsistence through the. states of west africa from guinea bissau descent. so if we are in such a state of poverty. they have been flooded by drug dealers when
6:32 am
a ship is arrested here not by chance but. it is carrying two tons of cocaine one or two killer. so that means the drug smugglers comes of the states because they are in misery err but we are governed by puppet presidents who do not care for the development of society or for education nor health of the forces they care about nothing when we build a statue worth thirty five billion we can't be saying we can't afford to buy two ships to patrol the seas when the organization of the islamic summit has cost hundreds of billions we cannot say we do not have the means we could say we channel our resources elsewhere.
6:34 am
the conditions typically on these vessels that engage in you fishing our. or her bendis there's there's there's no way to describe the how horrible and how completely unacceptable the conditions are on board of these vessels sometimes the crew have not been off the ship for for for months even years at a time the ships were only being supplied every couple of months in terms of. it's etc there's no medical care on board the ships the ships look like a ghost ships and rest kids. if any european were to see. how fish is now in what type of conditions the fisherman did it the same platform where fish will be landed will be the platform where the fishermen will actually. deford where you're in a tour that. it's it's horrendous. because
6:35 am
from senegal i've been in. togo all nationalities. the working conditions on the ships. that senegalese fish about. twenty four hours nonstop. there are teams work for twelve hours or more then the other twelve. there are days when their feet swell up inside their boots. and you need a knife to take them off it will probably. go to some fall asleep on the working table. and that causes labor accidents. and they are abnormal conditions.
6:36 am
we stay for three months and then we go out to shore are you well paid no we are not. you know in africa we suffer. we do not get paid well and there are also some restrictions you are not well here but there is nothing we can do this is how we live you know there is poverty in africa to find a job. they offer you a chew under dollar salary good. but it did a lot for them to help your family born it's not good but we can live with that we'll be able to make. there is nothing but misery here and misery.
6:37 am
there was. no. no no here. ensued if the my husband is at sea. when we see biologists he used to be a fisherman too much he could not make an income any more than the man so he left to become a sailor my dear because fishing is not stable in st louis so he went to the ship's . wrote i'm not of this to have. this. kind of brother when he returns pays off laura debts first everything has born in order to see december here to play with and so the minute runs out to get there you know. i think it was. and i have two boys and
6:38 am
a girl but they have also lost two girls in reality the. don't tell me what did your children die from last night you got to. see fit whether they were ill. or did you have money to buy their medicine. why. it was expensive for us. one costs fifteen euros and other twenty two here or there were going to be you couldn't organise the boat. it's not what they're not going to give.
6:40 am
6:41 am
6:44 am
please. please. please. the fishing boat that we raced said this morning to show you what based on the polls last. travels to come here and. this is faith is stolen and if it means that the truth of it was a part. time position i still believe will try the problem with truly are closed the other courts will. the same repeat patient to be said to savor the
6:45 am
disembarkation and clearing through customs of illegal fishing crud in there has been complaints and we're trying to work together with the corresponding countries however as far as the european union countries are concerned we are responsible and all they can say is that we intend to force controls we really must look into these issues. of this in a while from soon to go morocco as soon as the fish is caught in a bit on the one hand it is caught immediately and on the other it gets here within twelve hours packed in styrofoam with
6:46 am
a proper ice at nine to twelve degrees celsius and it gets here right away within twelve hours. yes of course they buy it but it's also cheaper there's not a lot of difference from domestic fish. it's not going to be a michael should think that when they eat fish that comes from each illegal fishing they eat the life of a fisherman to go three d. if the consumers think of that and realise the cost of the money follows what the. they'll see that them money does not benefit the fisherman you know or the fishing
6:47 am
communities. they are foreign companies and very often chinese or spanish if they are the two states that operate like that in west africa and they found a key to that company which is supposedly senegalese they arrive with fifteen big industrial scale fishing vessels that supposedly being low into the company and so
6:48 am
they fish freely. how do they escape the controls. when the ship comes to dhaka he says but he seeks a senegalese pasta not that infinity senegalese count now becomes the fictitious president. did their big boom in order to deal with the public opinion and the regulations. to get the best of stamps and everything but it won't. however it's the europeans who exploits the business. when the product arrives the european is here he checks it low doesn't contain is a big. and sends it off. he sells it in his cities you can find this product here.
6:49 am
to learn to fish is exported to europe. where you can see the containers. all fish goes to europe the white man is here and controls everything all the loads the months the containers and sends them off to europe. so by having a flag sometimes as far removed as mongolia when you're on your ship you are
6:50 am
basically exempt from a lot of fishing rules because mongolia hasn't ratified certain treaties or as and is not member of certain fisheries management organizations so this way you avoid many rules and regulations to it's a clear new poll that needs to be addressed by the international community. to see the fishermen live day by day and what they earn isn't enough for them to make a living anymore. and that is why there are waves of migration towards spain with even if we get us all the list but to be also. before when fishing when good and it fed the people. fishermen had no need to leave for europe ever they had
6:51 am
opportunities possibilities and they were not interested in migrating. to the root of europe as the one that organizes the flight of africans to europe organizes illegal migration to the e.u. had helped us out income betting illegal fishing all the young fisherman who are abandoning africa instead of going to europe would fish here for there would be a fish and they would make a profit. they would be able to feed their families but when they have nothing to eat when they left the protein when they have no money they will go where they can find a europe america canada. so if the e.u. wants our fish it should accept our children and its country so it can't be that it takes our fish are causing misery and then tells our children to stay in their
6:52 am
country the main public health issue in the e.u. is obesity. in our countries the main public health issue is famine so this injustice is not sustainable either we live together in a fair and it gala tarion world where we share a world of terror because you would do if i could tell you how many are in the ocean with the sea bottom is full of to rogues with the dead bodies of our children young people who left in search of adventure. when i was a child i would come to see because i loved it a credit boom more for you because the son of a fisherman is proud to go out to see. his dream is to become a captain one day after going to.
6:53 am
how little i had no money to support my parents so i decided to take the perogue and emigrate. i didn't care about the danger or if i would live or die my dream was europe so that i could help my parents out. with it. i took eighty seven people with me. who was on what we called one or more captain to help with the embarkation but one but he was unlucky you know a wave overturned his ship. and nine people died in the sea of bora. never to millions who tried to save them. to the sea was cold and they all died got them but if we left without them.
6:54 am
leaving we said we're now all heading to spain you know but one day all one family with the same dream brothers and sisters if the parole gets there we will be saved if it sinks we will all die even those who know the sea well we must show solidarity of water starts getting into the pirogue we all take it out immediately we don't wait for the fisherman. legs to be a god given day after two days at sea and if someone fell ill if ever know what there are left in the world then he wouldn't eat or drink he was vomiting we forced him to eat and drink but he kept on vomiting we don't know what to. throw out he died on the third day of the journey that he would get we through his body to see because he started to decompose. never operated when we when we threw his body into the sea. we all prayed to god that he would go to heaven i mean you have got to know many were crying and saying we're all going to die.
6:55 am
on the fourth day big waves broke the battle of the not going to be a big go it was a mobile go get good. at that moment everyone was out of control one good no matter how many because those people who had more experience know how dangerous it is. i'm middle going to get i will have a god who was about on the lookout i'm think i'm ever done go more among the eldest of a soul a very experienced fisherman he told us not to fear about the pira advised us to take a rope. and use it to tie the broken pieces. in the book because. we did i thought yeah and we used our bags to close the hole. some lay down and sealed the hole with their backs so that water wouldn't get into the pirogue what on our journey was one of the hardest ever made.

7:00 am
