is to set up these sort of reception processing centers some way within northern africa and those centers would effectively process applications for asylum and try and differentiate between genuine asylum seekers people who are looking to get to europe for work the problem at the moment of course is when you look at those states like tunisia for example or egypt or libya nobody's really in a situation to be able to accommodate those centers and certainly there's very little willingness to do so but europe is looking for a solution longer term question a challenge facing europe is where the taxpayers of voters within europe are going to be happy to be spending large amounts of. money on propping up african states trying to prevent people from leaving because the evidence on whether that's actually going to make any difference is quite mixed so there's no real long term coherent solution to this crisis yet but perhaps the two summits over the next week will all help to push europe in that direction we will see and i think goodman thanks very much for joining us from london. well the man who

can offer we're hearing a lot today about possible plans for processing centers to be built in northern africa for people who want to come to europe and the reaction from the european commission today was we will not have any guantanamo bay's for migrants coming to europe i mean that's a strong strong language strong reaction. everywhere it seems you look when you're talking about solutions and also conflicts it looks like it's against manful. well i mean these processing centers the idea has been around for many years and but it has so many challenges and if there's a reason why this hasn't been implemented so far we also don't have any african country that has stepped forward and actually agreed to any of this in fact they have said no we're not going to do any of this because we are not there to solve use problems or europe's problems as they're calling it. and there are so many challenges because not just legally it will also we don't know how many people would be on the in these centers how to process them even the whole spat about the distribution would not be solved because if you go th

first you know controlling the borders maybe setting up sort of some kind of migrant camps in northern africa and also setting up reception centers in the european union for now this agreement consists of political guidelines and that's why for example the austrian chancellor it's a bus and coach insists that when he came here this morning to the second part of the summit that now it was crucial to actually put this into action max i want to go back to those reception centers you just mentioned are these essentially detention centers within the e.u. . it depends what kind of reception centers we have the french president in mandarin michael in fact mentioned that these would be according to him closed reception centers and yes then you might get some ugly in the just on the other hand one of the problems that the e.u. has at the moment is secondary migration meaning that migrants arrive for example in italy they're registered there they apply for asylum but why the whole process is ongoing they move on to the next country often to germany this problem of course would probably be smaller if yo

is the frontline state is for those rickety fishing boats they call part terrors coming from northern africa from algeria or more commonly morocco and they sail across the closest point which is the straits of gibraltar or into those southern southern part of the spanish coast because the distances are shorter the vessels that they're trying to travel in are even more perilous more dangerous than some of the ones that are setting self from libya. they're smaller vessels however so you don't see arrivals with the same huge numbers on the libya italian route but it all adds up people are arriving by all these routes on a daily basis spain wants to do its bit but based on last year's figures spain will really only be looking at giving about one third of those who arrive here some kind of protected refugee status and the others could face being sent right back to where they came from so hold a moment we'll leave it there and calmly you monitor the situation for us called penholder in valencia. now historic deal to change the name of macedonia has been signed next to the greek border under the ag

in other countries like northern africa like for example libya one of the transit countries that many refugees pass through does that sound to you like a workable way to keep for example syrian refugees from trying to get to europe shores. i mean first you have to you have to have they given to of those countries in north africa to host those detention or those transfer centers and if you get the agreement of those countries which now is not known and libya from i understood as detected you still have to convince or you still have to look at if those people are going to go to those centers and that an unknown conditions i mean we've seen what's happened in libya with who were all shocked when the pictures of africans being sold as slaves. you know in libya and by the way it's still happening to now because the world has forgotten it seems nothing has been done. so. the syrians or other refugees from other parts of africa are going to go to those centers and wait there to be met by european official only and officials to be seen and then stay there for months in order to see if they're

there is talk of building processing centers in northern africa for migrants rescued at sea in the mediterranean you council president on toast says that you know if you think that idea sounds extreme or tough he says there are some really tough guys just waiting with other ideas i mean who's he referring to and is this a plead to preserve unity or to face our worst fears in europe. well look brant this takes us to the heart of this crisis it's not a refugee crisis as you can see if you say as you've mentioned sixty ninety six percent drop in numbers coming in it is a political crisis it is the concern that far right left a far right wing populist governments in europe will take advantage of this crisis will exploit it even more than they have already have create fears and that is what to screen first who he refers to take austria take it's a lead. take the countries that are trying to find a national solution that are pushing for a national solution and that also includes americans coalition partner all those unilateral efforts that are now on the table are threats to what the european union st
