it looks like a ghost town, the libyan city of sirte was once a stronghold for the so—called islamice visited an area which witnessed the final days ofa area which witnessed the final days of a deadly fight. this place was once full of life. if we walked here, we can see that someone wrote on the wall, the islamic state will remain, god willing. scale of damage in this neighbourhood absolutely shocking. it is as if the battles have just ended yesterday. it is ha rd to have just ended yesterday. it is hard to believe that fighting has stopped here more than a year and a half ago. everything here is dead. western backed pro—government forces fought for seven months to oust the extremists who were based here for nearly a year. fierce battles forced civilians to flee. most families are back now, but they miss the city they once called home. translation: we wish we hadn't returned to see the city like this. some people fell ill when they returned. 0ne the city like this. some people fell ill when they returned. one of my relatives died of a heart attack when he saw his house in ruins. lib

wants is for other countries france for instance or spain who are me if much farther away from the libyan coast where the migrants are rescued to open the harbor and to sort of take turns full for whoever is going to except those migrants and so far nobody has volunteered. italy here is pushing the ball back to other e.u. countries how are they likely to respond to this request. a solution has been desperately sought for a weeks now a behind the scenes in brussels the ambassadors of the e.u. and the defense specialists have been sitting down and saying what can we do however other countries say that italy is being totally obstructive and really wants to completely end these sophia mission it's of these goal is and that's what the other countries say to completely push on the responsibility for a sea rescue on to libya libya is already getting help from the e.u. to sort of build up its capacities but we know what happens and that is what italy really propagates openly the libyan coast guards are supposed to take in vessels that are trying to get away from the coast take people back to liby

the harvest that are closed and that is in case it should leave mostly sicily in this case to the libyan coast i suppose to take in those vessels that come was rescued people on board however italy now really wants to use force there is blackmail in the room italy is threatening to not to agree to the next e.u. budget to not pay its fees to the european union and so on and so forth which is for the whole he's doing the atmosphere at the moment there seems to be not really a way out however if they don't find a solution emissions of more or less is at its end barrino bottom line here is that the italian government is saying it is important to distribute migrants picked up at sea within the e.u. are they getting anywhere with that point. they have been getting in anywhere somewhere that by using more or less blood pressure during the last weeks and months because if you look at the last migrant boats that have been coming in they've been waiting and waiting and ports for days and days and then finally the way are distributed among the e.u. member states even albania has and the last round

to more or less completely end the sea rescue off migrants off the european union in front of the libyan coast and that's what all this is about what barbara is there any prospect of the defense ministers meeting in vienna reaching some sort of compromise arrangement that would allow sapir to continue. no it doesn't look like it and the german defense minister funded line more or less openly said that she doesn't really expect anything moving here they're just going through the motions and what they say is this needs to be solved at the level of the heads of state and government so they sort of pushing this issue on kicking the can again once more time down the road and say then next summer they really need to find a. new position on distribution of migrants within the e.u. but till then this is going to be made maybe october till then it's of the is really playing hardball and the political climate is really getting sort of more and more cold between member states here well whatever italy decides the migrants are continuing to come across the mediterranean of course as we all know italy
