first the sophia mission in the mediterranean off the coast of libya will be stopped secondly we've agreed that we want to military mission and not a humanitarian one and it will focus on the arms embargo the task of the original even naval missions sophia was to fight arms trafficking and people smuggling but it frequently rescued refugees that see the new mission will involve aerial as well as naval assets primarily in the east mediterranean that's where there's more arms trafficking and fewer refugee routes the naval mission will be ended if ships continue to take in migrants. fundamentally important that the european union acknowledges its responsibility to take action and play a role in ensuring the homes and will no longer be violated that's what's required to end the civil war in libya. but it's not clear if this new plan will bring the desired results the details of the mission have yet to be worked out. the sudanese government and a coalition of rebel groups have extended peace talks for another 3 weeks after missing a deadline to reach a deal a spokesman for the rebels said impor

arms embargo it ended up being very much the former picking up people out of the mediterranean and so it ran into that very very dark spiral of e.u. migration politics italy decided it didn't want to support this mission and so it's been suspended now if you decide it is ok let's revamp the mission let's really focus on the arms embargo but it's still being held up by countries who fear it would once again turn into a rescue mission and without an agreement in the wider european union to take care of these people if they're picked up in the mediterranean they're not willing to risk mission creep so is there any hope i mean for some sort of a broader resolution you mention neither country the countries can can't agree on the mission naval mission not only that but we heard reported mean e.u. countries are even taking different sides in the conflict. yes it is incredible to think that you literally have italy supporting one side and france supporting the other and that this is a warlord who's who's marching to tripoli with an army it doesn't make sense and it's definitely not constructi

so every minute that there is no n.g.o.s in the central mediterranean increases the risk of people i'd of dying or being in the back and heidi how have things been on the ship for people who are under quarantine. i mean it for us it only started yesterday so we got into our anchorage position quite recently 9 lives the ocean biking but it's obviously quite frustrating it seems like a very disproportionate measure. that also seems in line with the political climate that already in italy discriminates against and you know best and so we feel that this is and also sorry in line with public opinion that you know migrants bring disease this is not the 1st time that people wearing hazmat suits come on board a ship with a disembarkation so it seems that the climate around the coronavirus. isn't particularly tight is it now it in heroes and stopping us from being able to or works or not particularly concerned about people having been exposed to the virus but more about the consequences of us now being delayed for 2 weeks all right we'll have to leave it there heidi said dick from sea watch tha

in our report and now with the european union not even being able to agree to put ships in the mediterranean to monitor the the arms embargo it really seems like nothing has been achieved a month after it looks like things were very much moving on the right track terry i want to ask you because germany took such a big role in bringing trying to bring peace to libya there was a big conference in berlin a month ago what's your sense will germany continue to try to push that forward what we heard from foreign minister maass this morning was that he still is very much motivated to move things ahead but also frustrated and that frustration is shared by e.u. foreign policy chief joseph burrell who actually articulated in munich over the weekend that it was ridiculous was his word that a country like austria that doesn't even have a ship that would be going into the mediterranean would be allowed to block it so this is has in fact created a bigger discussion about about how foreign policy decisions are made in the european union but in the meantime libya continues to suffer and people continue to d

italy has been very burned by these rescue ships picking up people drowning in the mediterranean fleeing not just libya but other countries bringing them to italy and then no other e.u. country showing enough solidarity to spread out of the migrants who needed a place to stay while there their cases were being processed by the u.s. to whether they would be allowed to claim asylum or not and so when you have these ships patrolling the mediterranean that were dual hatted that meant they were supposed to pick up migrants who were drowning which is a united nations obligation but they were also supposed to be enforcing the arms embargo italy just decided it had had enough and it suspended this mission now i believe they're even going to change the name of it from operation sophia so that there is no connection to a rescue mission and this is something that austria says it's agreed to too and it appears that they have have built in a contingency mechanism if it turns out that this is a pull factor that more people start to leave libya because they know that the e.u. has ships there again that
