in luxembourg -- reporter: in luxembourg, a moment of silence for the latest victims. >> today, i think we gave a strong reaction from the european union side. today, we have a new european level of awareness that this is a european issue not of single member states. reporter: at the center of the criticism is europe's triton program, which has patrolled the border of to 55 kilometers off the italian coast. it focuses more on border security than on rescue missions , but that could soon change. the eu is considering doubling funding for the tri-town -- triton sea patrol. >> the people in these situations often attempt the trip in boats or ships that are unfit to across the mediterranean. with that in mind, we must urgently improve our ability to rescue them. reporter: the eu also plans to take action against the criminal traffickers who smuggle the migrants across the mediterranean. leaders have been summoned from -- for an emergency summit later this week. brent: now to our correspondent who is following developments at that summit in luxembourg. good evening to you. what has come out

we have more from luxembourg. >> it's a day of high-powered meets in luxembourg. foreign ministers have come to discuss the situation in so far as the mediterranean sea migration waves coming across from libya and other parts of north africa but they're joined by interior ministers, which is a sign how serious the european union is taking the waves of migrants coming across, and the hundreds who are dying. the e.u. foreign policy chief spoke earlier about the moral imperative that the e.u. felt to deal with this situation. there have also been remarks from the german foreign minister where he said the situation is to deal with the migrants who come across but also happens to deal with the situation on the ground in north africa, in libya in particularly where rival armed groups have fought for position and created a wave of migrants trying to get to the european union. >> dominick kane reporting from luxembourg. >>> we're joined villa skype from milan judith, thank you for your time. why are migrants coming across reached these levels. >> i think we should talk ab

dominic kane in luxembourg. thank you very much. >>> we have this update from the greek capital of athens. >> the greek coast guard said that they have rescued a hundred people and they've plucked them out of the water from the shores of island of rhodes in the southeast aegean. these migrants were lucky it seems. they have told local reporters that the engine cut out when they were about 100 yards from shore. that encouraged them to jump in and try to swim to shore even though it appears none of them knew how to swim. the coast guard arrived in boats and took them out of the water before they were able to reach shore. emergency services were there to deliver first aid and cpr and it appears that there could have been many more than the three so far confirmed fatalities that we know about, a man, a woman and a small child. a local reporter i spoke to earlier said that she saw the body of a small child roughly six years old being fished out of the water. 9 child was unconscious and the emergency workers were unab

dominick kane, al jazerra luxembourg. >>> to yemen now where forces loyal to president hadi say theye pushed back houthi fighters and taken control of their positions near aden airport. this was the scene in the neighborhood in aden as you can see there are street battles between fighters loyal to president hadi who is now in exile in saudi arabia and forces that support the former long-team president saleh. there has also been heavy fighting in the city forces gaining ground following saudi-led air strikes targeting houthi positions. saudi forces confirm that he targeted place on his monday at least 43 killed, 341 injured in that explosion. >> reporter: in more than three weeks of bombing, this was one of the largest attacks yet. the target was a and you had missile base. but the massive explosion killed dozens of people, destroying nearby buildings and blowing out windows in homes and offices? also damaged a television station owned by the former president saleh. knocking it off the air. picking through the devastation local residents voiced their anger. >> translator: the munition

after a day of high-level meetings in luxembourg the even u.eign policy chief said it was immaterial pear to act. today we are developing a true sense of urgency and solidarity in fighting human trafficking and saving lives and let me add on a personal note. finally so. >> reporter: the even u.'s proposed new measures includes strengthening their mission in nine tore stop migrants from closing no to libya. destroying the boats which are often up seaworthy or illegal. to strengthen and give more money to the titan and poe side an rescue operations and get member states to share responsibility for the resettlement and relocation of refugees. because the country has that born the brunt of the migrant wave says they can no longer cope on their own. >> it's a european emergency. it's not a problem to help people it's a problem to help europe. you can't have a european emergency, and an italian answer. >> reporter: that's a reference to italy's operation which cost more than $100 million during the 12 months it ran for. and which was closed down last

the assessment of the eu chief in luks luxembourg. boat capsized in the mediterranean 125 kilometers northwest of libya. 950 may well have been on board. >>> on monday, a sailboat ran aground off the greek island rhodes and at least 90 were rescued. after the european foreign minister met frederica mogherini presented a plan she said would hopefully address the crisis. >> to solve the crucial elements of one of the ways of access to libya through its southern border. we've talked about other measures intelligence cooperation regional protection programs and also the issue of destroying ships. the second element that emerged as consent yul isial is the duty to save lives at sea. this means more funds more coverage with more links to rescue obligations and to address certain rescue in a more structured long term way. the third element that emerged is for sure, a need to share the responsibilities within the european union when it comes to resettlement and relocation of refugees. >> let's talk to dominic kane in luxembourg. a duty to sav

he is in luxembourg, and i think this all comes in a meeting before e.u. leaders on this subject on thursday. but it begs the question, doesn't it, why the sense of urgency now when this has been going on for years? and we've been reporting on it at al jazeera for years. >> well, that is, indeed, one question that comes from this, david, you're right. the meeting, of the e.u. leaders summit has been coming from the call for immediate action. it has been the feeling of the meetings all day we've had foreign ministers and the interior ministers. that gives the sense of the importance that the e.u. has placed on today's developments. but the question will be how much resources will they really put into some form of successor to tritan which itself is a successor to the marinastrum cost the italian government well millions of dollars. it was the italian government which said said it was a cost they could no longer bear. they said they would double the number of ships available but will that be enough in terms of the wave of migrants coming across this year. th

growing migrant crisis is at the top of the agenda the meeting between european foreign ministers in luxembourg. they had a prom program to rescue immigrants but they were unable to do more. >> i felt it was our foreign duty to concentrate as european to prevent this type of tragedies from happening again and again. the main issue here is to build together some sense of responsibilities of what is happening in the mediterranean. it is a solution we have to exercise together as europeansing and in a consistent consistent, coherent way. >> there has ban massive explosion in yemen's capital of sanaa. they say it was being used by houthi rebels where 27 people have been killed. we're joined live, tell us more about this target that was hit today in sanaa. >> yes let me tell that you there are reports that this has been a saudi airstrikes. we have to wait for the coalition spokesman this evening to confirm that or deny it. reports suggest that there might have been an explosion. what the reports say that there are scud missiles. those are weapons coming from the former soviet union. they were in pos

foreign ministers agreed to a 10 point plan and luxembourg due to be submitted with eu leaders this thursdayacross london and brussels, assistant proposals. >> the main point really is beefing up the current mediterranean operations and give them more resources and of course very importantly more funding. the eu said they could take additionally and funding from the eu budget for for the rest of the money, the they will have to reach into their pockets. the second is the military operation i will involve destroying boats used by the smugglers. a third proposal is beefing up the cooperation between current eu institutions that work on these matters like euro pulse and sontacks. another point is the emergency relocation of refugees. another is setting up an eu-wide location offering places to people in desperate need of protection. another team from the asylum office is helping to protest the many lists of applications. and also member states are responsible for taking fingerprints of asylum-seekers, and another is setting up the rapid return of migrants organized i frontline member states, an

what should have been routine talks in luxembourg have turned into a crisis conference to address the. the question now is how to get the 28 member countries to act as one especially when tissue of migration is such a polerrizing and heated domestic political issue for european governments. >> ifill: and joining me now for more on the deadly journeys that thousands are taking, and the european community's response is daryl grisgraber, senior advocate at refugees international for the middle east and africa. two questions here, why do the migrants come and what do you do about them once they get on their way? the first part why are they coming. >> a number of reasons. within the country of origin, there is conflict, poverty, persecution. so in africa and particularly in the middle east, you will find people fleeing these particular issues. many end up on the west coast of africa and migrate by sea when land routes are not available to them. >> ifill: why don't we talk about who these people are. they're not libyans necessarily and they're not from any one place. >> no, not at all. we h

the european foreign ministers who were meeting in luxembourg earlier this week said that they wanted to launch military operations against a network of smugglers in libya. what is your view on the events of the last few days, and what is your view on such an action. do you think the emphasis should be on targeting the traffickers in libya? >> well, first of all. regarding the progress, i think parties are now getting closer to an agreement, of course, the remaining part is going to be difficult, but not impossible. i think that they're aware of the complexities in the region of that the chaos is producing. regarding the action, i think what the european union is proposeing to target mafias anywhere they are not necessarily through military means, but to try to target them yes. >> when you say that progress has been made we're talking about the two competing governments in libya are we likely to see a national unity government soon then? >> well, we're discussing at this stage this possibility although the priority now is the agreement both parties have said that they consider 80% of

finally, david, european foreign and interior ministers gathered together in luxembourg. they had prearranged business but their focus shifted to what to do about all of this. they shifted to a 10-point plan. italy was running search-and-rescue missions with their coast guard until last year. they were really costly. they stopped it. there were pressure, if you put out so many boats to rescue people, more will come. but now, it turns out they're going anyway. and they're dying. the europeans decided they really need to beef up the coast guard missions again. they need to find a way to destroy some of these smuggler boats in the way that they doesn't harm fishermen or other people they could possibly get by mistake. david. david: says a lot about how desperate situations are in africa, they would be willing to go through all of this at the risk of their lives. amy kellogg, thank you very much. appreciate it. meanwhile here in the states the fbi arresting six people in minneapolis and san diego as part of a 10 month-long probe. young men were trying to travel to syria to fi

nor would you have to pay if you're from iceland, luxembourg or any of the european economic countriesa, new zealand, and a whole host of other loopholes. >> so lots of tourist have said left out of the definition of those who are not going to be health tourists anymore. interesting. why were foreigners being charged to use the nhs before this? >> technically, they were. however, the nhs by its very nature, for people who haven't been to the united kingdom, effect effectively, if you have something wrong with you you go to a hospital you say, i am unwell, they put you in the system, you go through it and you leave again. there is no point in that system where somebody comes up with you a visa you know stick your card in here, let's check to make sure you're actually british, for instance. so that makes it quite difficult to know where to insert into the system chasing people up for payment. obviously, if you have -- if you were here as a tourist, you would normally carry with you health insurance for your limited stay the same as anyone would if they went to the u.s. or to france or so
