8:46 am
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 cut immediately and on the other it gets here within twelve hours packed in styrofoam with a proper ice at nine to twelve degrees celsius and it gets here right away within twelve hours. yes of course they buy it that's also cheaper there's not a lot of difference from domestic fish.
8:47 am
it's something i see these people should think if you that when they eat fish that comes from each illegal fishing they eat the life of a fisherman to go if the consumers think of that and realise the cost of the money follows. they'll see that them money does not benefit the fishermen but you know the fishing communities. that.
8:48 am
today are foreign companies and very faint chinese or spanish if they are the two states that operate like that in west africa and they found a key to the company which is supposedly senegalese they arrive with fifteen big industrial scale fishing vessels that supposedly be glowing to the company and so they fish freely. how do they escape the controls. when the ship comes to dhaka. he seeks
8:49 am
a senegalese pasta not going to finagle the senegalese continent becomes the fictitious president. did their big boom in order to deal with the public opinion and the regulation is. the best of stamps and everything but it won't fit. however it it's the europeans who exploits the business. when the product arrives the european is here he checks it loads in the containers. and sends it off. he sells it in his cities you can't find this product here. the fish is exported to europe. where you can see the container us. all fish goes to europe the white man is here and controls everything all the loads the monthly containers and sends them off to europe.
8:50 am
so by having a flag sometimes as far removed as mongolia when you're on your ship you are 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.
8:51 am
if 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 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.
8:52 am
had helped us out in combating 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 lack a protein when they have no money they will go where they can find to go to 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 country the main public health issue in the e.u. is obesity. in our countries the main public health issue is famines so this injustice is not sustainable either we live together in a fair and it gala tarion world or we share a world of terror because you would you like tell you how many are in the ocean
8:53 am
with the sea bottom is full of pirogue 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 to do 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. i know how little it got but 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.
8:54 am
with it. i took eighty seven people with me. who or what we called one or more captain to help with the embarkation. but he was unlucky on the you know a wave over turned his ship. and nine people died in a sea of bora. never to millions who tried to save them. to the sea was cold and they all died when you got them but if we left without them. we said we're now all heading to spain you know but one day all one family with the same dream brothers and sisters mr perot 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
8:55 am
a god given day after two days at sea and if someone fell ill never know what i left in the water and 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. i put it through after 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 marry a man you have got into many were crying and saying we're all going to die. on the fourth day big waves broke the battle of the bucket i'm a big guy it was. good but. what about him body at that moment everyone was out of control quite good no matter how many because those people who had more experience know how dangerous it is. i'm middle going to god i will have
8:56 am
a god who was about on the lookout i'm think i'm evidence. the eldest of a soul a very experienced fisherman he told us not to fear about the pira going to give good advice just to take a rope. and use it to tie the broken pieces. in the book in the book because. we did i and we used our bags to close the hole up with. some lay down and sealed the hole with their backs so that water wouldn't get into the pirogue. journey was one of the hardest ever made.
8:57 am
this immediately so we leave the baby. by the sea potions to cure. all your party is an. issue is that no one is asking with the guests that you deserve answers from . politics. what you're arguing for is. that after identity that national identity let me ask a question. a current first or an iraq. first.
8:58 am
because question. i still remember the smell of the chemical weapons so what iraqi identity brought. to me the killings of people. four thousand five hundred villages were destroyed. what they're trying to do now is still another myth to us which is the one group of slightly less radical fundamentalists are now attacking the. taking care of who is the major supporter of these groups i mean they have to get money and arms and training from somewhere and the country that's been named so far in this program is saudi arabia what is their role in all this i think. this is the. only reason with the.
8:59 am
position because. of the future of. those groups. it's quite clear. i think the fact that these weapons can fly semi autonomous sleep for seven thousand miles to the locations where unfortunately my. military and the cia are attacking people in countries with which we are not at war to me is simply horrifying and as many you know already argue it's a violation of international law it's assassination i do not support assassination
9:00 am
by my government period. where the innocent or guilty is not our job. unscary must lose and uncaring i should say must and as untrodden secrecy on top of a marks his twelfth anniversary with more than one hundred fifty inmates still held behind foster despite never being charged they want to display a place that we can treat people however we want to whenever we want to take some of the history of the facility as people across the us from head to march demanding and then turn to the infamous prison. also the white house won't solve the risk of a war with iran if the lawmakers initiative to impose further sanctions goes through the us as the number of senators blocking the controversial proposal.
