about temperatures but you have to put it in context so yes it has been a very warm day so hail in north africa and cheers there with a maximum of thirty degrees and cheers at thirty six degrees north but what about the weather at forty six degrees north or fifty six degrees north or sixty six degrees north once you get into the arctic circle where if you're watching yesterday you'll notice reporter some incredible temperatures if they're right in the far north of finland the temperature of thirty two point seven recorded on choose day but if you look at temperature of the last twenty four hours central northern sweden temperatures thirty two point eight finland again coming in with thirty three point seven much to buy somewhere at sixty eight degrees north thirty three point seven degrees celsius just emotions or temperature way up in the arctic circle the problem with all this of course is that. it's really hammered the grazing particularly in sweden these horses being see the rip sticking that they're really suffering because of grazing to extremely poor because of lack of rain now we've als

to north africa rather than sharing responsibility across the mediterranean but the european union in creating these disembarkation platforms argues that it would be creating more orderly migration that would deter people from crossing illegally into the e.u. he don't agree with that. oxfam is supporting asylum seekers in greece and in italy and in many countries in africa what we see is that when the purpose of mechanisms is to push people way the result is not creating safer migration options the result is often deterioration in the living conditions more people spending time in detention waiting long periods for their applications to be processed so what would be the solution here would it be having these disembarkation centers on european soil because you said that this hasn't worked very well in greece for example. the only way forward is to reach agreements at the european level it must include european commitment to share some of the responsibility across the mediterranean and it needs through through an improvement in the living conditions in sports in refugee centers in europ

to reach europe set their sights on italy risking their lives to cross the mediterranean from north africa however with italy's new government turning them away migrants are now increasingly heading for spain. the coast of southern spain is within sight. it's the end of a treacherous crossing of the strait of gibraltar. what you're seeing is a group of migrants reaching european soil. and they're among the many who arrive on spanish beaches every year. we don't know where they ended up but we do know they're lucky to be alive. so far this year at least fifteen hundred have died in the mediterranean sea their route to europe too has changed with spain now the preferred entry point we can say is that the first indications we're getting from the spanish authorities is that it is the west africa and. migrants that were most prominent crossing into libya in the past couple years who seem to be choosing spain as their route now. the number of undocumented migrants arriving to the spanish coast so far this year is almost as many as the total for twenty seventeen most are rescued at sea and brough
