special envoy for the central mediterranean situation pleasure to have you with us sir thank you for your time why those those numbers are grim both are absolutely grim but the point to make is those are from previous years you've got new numbers which seem to suggest a change in the train you know talk of years there is still a bit of increase in terms of crossing from morocco to spain about twenty twenty thousand people disappear by sea but you have an eighty percent decrease in terms of our arrival to eat only from libya only about twenty thousand people have arrived to italy and the numbers for greece decrease or source i think it's quite important to see that overall we have less people crossing the mediterranean but do chance that you die and i was moved from what out one out of forty eight last year to one out of eighteen now so what do you attribute the change in numbers to the idea that if we just focus on the fact that there are fewer crossings actually happening is there is the policing getting better or have the policing is getting better you have more technique called co

from a given direction these jets came from mediterranean which is interesting in that in the last few weeks a few months we've seen a number of israeli air strikes. in syria from the mediterranean from from lebanon covering lebanon airspace completely illegally i might add you know. so i think that the issue of the one second warning it was was a pretty poor show and i think you know this is their way of turboprop plane of that speed in the under age can get out of the area that quickly but the fact that we're getting reports that the israelis use this plane as some kind of target some kind of bait so that these syrian ground forces would fire. at the russian aircraft perhaps by mistake and i think that is a very alarming and that is a real turning point in the syrian war with these huge. geopolitical issues at stake and i think for the first time ever geo political analysts and journalists myself have always been asking what will it take how far can this go before one day netanyahu steps over a line with this very fragile arrangement and just goes a bridge too far with his gun ho att
