john psaropoulos is on the island of lies just for us and joins us now and so has there been evidence there of an increase in the number of refugees arriving. latest decision by the tech a government you know the greek government is bruised for a massive flow of refugees from turkey but so far. it's been rather an ordinary day 151 asylum seekers have been logged arriving at the greek islands on 5 separate boats 3 of them here on less verse that is not an extraordinary number for a one day tally it is maybe on the high end but it's still within the realm of the of the ordinary. the news was different on the land border with evidence where there was a concerted effort by about 300 people to come across and as we saw in the footage in that package you played earlier from my colleague lawrence lee the tear gassing was the reaction. of the reaction is extra patrolling around the clock. vigilance strengthening of the maritime border with full manpower. and vessels being deployed in 3 shifts. but so far there hasn't been anything approaching that kind of concerted effort on the maritime bord
