this one in the mediterranean. far less known to american audiences than guadalcanal, malta was a crucial british outpost smack dab in the middle of the mediterranean sea. its location made it essential to the british sea lines of andunication east to west communications north to south from italy into north africa. and because it provided protection for british convoys and was a thorn in the side to axis convoys, the allies naturally tried to take it out. they did so from the air. here is a statistic that is somewhat astonishing. more bombs were dropped on the island of malta in april of 1942 than all of the bombs dropped on london throughout the blitz in world war ii. they hammered that place. by midsummer, it was in such extremes that rations for the population had been reduced to six ounces of food per person per week. the spitfires were virtually out of gas. the governor of the island notified london that if he did not get a supply convoy in the next week, he would have to capitulate. so the british put togethe

the war did not proceed separately in the atlantic and pacific or the mediterranean for that matter. it took place everywhere all at once. and it underscores how precarious the state of allied shipping was in that difficult summer of 1942. the 18 transports at guadalcanal the japanese mist, the 14 in the mediterranean formed a full of -- formed a pool of shipping resources. this problem would go away gradually, especially because of american ship holding capabilities. this is most evident in the battle of the atlantic between german u-boats and allied convoys. you can see in this chart how the number of ships built by the allies and mostly by the united states, over 90% by the united states, grew exponentially through 1943, while the number of ships sunk declined in those same years. new technology, better escorts, better protocols in the convoys allowed us to fend off u-boats but shipbuilding in the united states allowed the allies to get ahead of this issue. we also built them. we built ships faster than the submarines could sink them. here is a dramatic illustration. i like this p

spain has been taking in migrants who have been travelling across the mediterranean from north africa. absolutely and we really have to keep that in perspective spain is one of the so-called front line migration states around the mediterranean but the migrants that arrive in spain are generally crossing through parts of the straits of gibraltar and crossing to the southern coast of spain they're not taking the route from libya to get to spain that route is simply too long but spain has taken in thousands in the past in fact in just the last thirty six hours more than one thousand migrants have washed ashore in southern spain in more than seventy rickety fishing vessels and even rubber dinghies and so in a sense that for the relief organizations here to receive migrants is nothing new what has made a big change in this situation this is why the aquarius and its arrival is so important is because it has become a political football what really is now at stake is that european countries must debate what their migration policy is going to be going forward because talking this morning to re

that during the last year the number of illegal migrants reaching italy via the mediterranean sea and sailing from libyan shores has fallen dramatically that also. that is partly thanks to their italian support to libya's coast guard we understand that since july of last year the italian navy vessels have been docked in a navy base here in the capital tripoli to provide technical support maintenance and training to libya's coast guard and also we understand that this visit foreign minister silvio which is the furthest vini could be an extension to the memorandum of understanding the agreement that was sealed by libya's prime minister the face of raj and the italian former prime minister into lonny in rome in february of last year and by virtue of that memorandum of understanding the libyan side should receive funds and technical support and maintenance and also training from the italian side but being the italian vessels being dumped here at the navy base in tripoli that has raised concerns at the arrival of the libyan rebel administration in the east of the country. now a cheery has
