five four fired warning shots at the goal for a rescue vessel being leased by product of open arms the ngo told us that the ship was at least twelve nautical miles away from the libyan coast and outside its territorial waters. but. nevertheless ten days later there was another incident involving the same vessel. the gulf azura was again stopped at sea and this time ordered to accompany the libyan coast guard into tripoli harbor on suspicion of operating within libyan territory. as a result of this much publicized incident the owner of the gulf has zero refused to continue renting it to correct in the open arms the n.g.o.s had to find a new vessel to continue its operations. so you. got. that month ogust twenty seven team it's all n.g.o.s to sign a code of conduct which puts strict limits on their ability to carry out rescue missions it had a significant effect by the beginning of twenty eighteen only four n.g.o.s were left operating vessels in the mediterranean. italy's determination to limit the activities of n.g.o.s is based on the belief that their presence encourages migrants to make j

the ngo's take a step back. where they were maybe in the lead in the 1950's and 1960's. largely this happens with the cuban refugee program where the united states offers a robust resettlement program and you see the ngo's stepping back. nonetheless, after 1980, the ngo's again are important in not only helping to resettle refugees, which of course they are, but i would argue there is a side effect to that which is that they help set the debate about what it means to be a refugee in the united states. the colors how americans think about who is a refugee and who can be a good refugee, right? who deserves -- that might be a word that is loaded with people use it -- who deserves resettlement in the united states. that enters into a feedback loop where it shapes policymaking and how americans in the political scene and just generally think about what a refugee is and what a refugee should look like. it is one of -- it is all about one big integrated into the system. >> carl said it perfectly. today, when we think of the u.s. refugee admissions program, there are so many dif

a lot of people the project is run by an ngo and kids living in a delhi slum how to manage money. whenever they can they deposit a few rupees into their account when they turn sixteen they can apply for a loan from the organisation after the credit could be used to set up their own businesses or to take part in professional training. so they also study the how it is feasible and what the proposal itself this. sounds that it would be no implemented properly it has a voice and instead of the everything there is under the approved or something that is it also. next in line is fourteen year old priya she deposits twenty rupees that's the equivalent of about thirty cents for her a lot of money. i trust the bank because many children deposit their money here their supervisors have a lot of experience i save my money so i can spend it sensibly in the future. korea has to work hard for the money she saves she sorts onions at a market child labor is illegal in india so officially priya is simply helping her mother the two of them earn four to five euros a day between them it's the family's

let's get more on this story with more that's from the ngo medico international he is in mexico with this convoy maurits you have been with them on the move on foot for weeks now what are the conditions like. the conditions . of these people traveling about seven thousand people who are traveling all from the working mother. and the rose family the city services people who are really not in conditions to travel don't have trouble. walking with. really bad she says my has to say and they are exposed very. early on that. when they get to the camp in the afternoon the first thing they do is to provide some some shelter from the sun canvas. and it's really. really revise infrastructure that we see and people in the night there are going to rain and floods. so it's really difficult for them to move along mark i want to ask you about what we heard the u.s. president donald trump say that u.s. troops would fight back if immigrants in this convoy throw rocks at soldiers have people there been reacting to that. people taking notice of that as a man from. trauma speed. has gotten. the. directi

so, we have a couple larger ngo customers.ur largest is in international organizations that procure supplies and distributes them in emergency situations. like a red cross or... exactly. so, it's actually shelterbox. you can ship 50 of these for the space of 8 flashlights. so, they have purchased 30,000 units in the past 10 months. they're one of our largest customers. and tell me what you sell it to them for. we sell to them for $8.75. and how do you sell -- what do you sell it for in the other two areas? our direct-customer price is $19.95. and what's your cost? cost to manufacture it is $4.75. and do you have some kind of funding behind you? we each put in $7,500 of our own money because we thought we had a good idea. so, then we launched the product through a successful crowdfunding campaign. we raised $50,000 on a goal of $10,000. we've leveraged business-plan competitions and grant competitions, and we won an additional $195,000. [ laughs ] and we've put $145,000 of that back into the business. bravo. it's brilliantly de

it is very difficult for ngos, especially for human rights ngos and even more so for north korean human rights ngos to depend on individual donations, on corporate donations. it is unavoidable. they have to depend on government funding. that government funding has been drastically reduced. pursuant to the north korean human rights act, finally passed in south korea, after more than ten years, a north korean human rights foundation was established, that foundation has been defacto dismantled. our friends, activists in south korea, many of them north korean escapees are telling us that regrettably, south korean law enforcement censors the content they send into north korea. of course, there are no more balloon launches. and by the way, pursuant to the military, to the military agreement, given the existence of that no-fly zone, there will be no more balloons, no more drones, so one of the few vehicles left is plastic bottles that are filled with rice, u.s. beans inserted into those bottles and thrown into the sea, the west sea, and the current takes them up north. well, there have been in

guards became more involved in rescue operations but this also brought them into confrontation with the ngos one of the most recent clashes came on march twenty eighth and valving a vessel operated by proactive openoffice a team of journalists from a catamaran you speak to were on board at the time the incident began when the maritime rescue coordination center in rome passed on the location of the sinking vessel to both the libyans and the spanish and geo local command of the operation was given to the coast guards but fast inflatable rubber boats from the open arms got to the scene first they quickly began a rescue mission but then the libyan patrol arrived on a mattress got out of the crowd. of people. that read whatever. i quickly because i don't have i don't i don't have a. problem ok let me go back. from right now he's going to fight. that he wants to talk with you. look at us there's a lot of us. i understand that my god my we just coming to me. but when the open arms boats began to comply the rest of the migrants in the sinking dinghy started jumping into the water to avoid being res

i want to recognize and thank my staff who did a lot of diplomacy between the ngo community who has not been at the table in the recent water wars of the northern part of our great state. i want to say that -- an issue that is remarkably complicated. there are some facts. over the last handful of decades the fisheries have plummeted if the san joakim valley and the river. to now just a few thousand salmon. we all need to be part of that solution. none of this is easy it requires a rot of give and take. there's an urgent to the puc. the health of our region is at stake. it's time to turn a new page. it's time to reconsider our relations with turlock and modesto. i want to be clear that this is a resolution in support of state water boards adoption of 40% unimpaired flows and to go to table and reach a settlement which will implement these changes in a more expeditious fan. with that, i want to reiterate p.u.c for coming to the table. now let's settle this matter. >> let's call the roll please.

that is going on there. >> laura: the ngos are part of the t problem in my view. this is a group that helped organize the caravan last spring and they are coaching a lot of these migrants on the ground especially in mexico and assisting the caravan moving up north. >> absolutely. they did it in the last caravan andis they are doing it in this caravan. >> laura: what does w the united states do? we have a better relationship with mexico than i think in quite a longth time. we're trying to cooperate and get things done. >> we worked on a lot of good things together but mexico has helped in many ways. they have arrested a lot of southern americans. and as the ambassador said they've takenat a couple of,000 that have applied for asylum. >> laura: most want to come to the united states. they've said that on camera. mexico is t not the safe harbor that they want. >> it's a true that that many of them wants to reach the united states and many understand why. some of them have family members. the most important thing is that we have offered them a very good opportunity to

it's now up to civilians to pick up the pieces halo trust is an international ngo and the world's largest humanitarian mine clearance organization. the challenges it faces in ukraine are unlike any other conflict zone. the most the what makes you queen different is that we have a real problem with trip wire traps our organisation hasn't come across anything like them in other countries our experts have had to come up with new ways of dealing with them. it's back breaking work. a grenade and a trip wire that's all it takes a few summers after the traps were laid the weeds have grown tall making them almost impossible to spot clearing these traps is as much about touch as it is about sight. there's no way of predicting how far you'll get in there it all depends on the vegetation. sometimes you'll manage twenty metres in a day sometimes it'll be just ten safety is our priority in all of this in the distance the shooting continues the current frontline is just a few kilometers away. these people are searching for anti-tank mines the anti-personnel mine so characteristic of conflicts from yeme

the incident had serious consequences for the ngo the coast guard left the scene and open arms were allowed to take all the migrants on board the authorities in rome then directed the vessel to approach in sicily where the rescued people could be disembarked. but when they arrived the ship was seized and the captain and the head of mission accused of people trafficking risking a fifteen year present. in late september twenty eight hundred we witnessed another confrontation this time from the libyan perspective we were with the coast guard patrol when a migrant boat in jeopardy was found by kerry's two cartney one of the few n.g.o.s vessels operating in the central mediterranean. and. the commander of the coast guard patrol also the n.g.o.s all to withdraw to five nautical miles from the target when the enjoy a vessel did not follow the orders the country reacted. quite worried that. it would be a visit to a. level that. would you say ok if it gets to that kind of a pickle get out. of it that. could get through to. this if they did what we've got to leave it at. that. i hear the fish and the

the ngo that helped the caravan fronted us is keen to point out any opportunities the aid workers want to keep the migrant spirits high and convince them of the dangers of crossing the border illegally. there are twenty thousand jobs in construction that even offer training to those without experience. union workers always says more than five hundred people could die any year when tensions are high because there's a lot of violence. because by not having seen i've been at. the n.g.o.s urging migrants to be patient but the lack of shelter and hostile atmosphere in tijuana is fueling that. more and more of them are considering climbing the wall or even swimming around it bloody marys one of them. we're thinking about crossing by sea. wait until the waves go down then take your chance. with. the migrants have little chance of being granted asylum in the u.s. under the trumpet ministration although there's a bit more hope now that a u.s. court has barred trump from denying asylum to those and touring illegally. some families are prepared to risk everything to try. if they don't let us in t
