italy is interior minister imitates sound vini is in libya he says the onus is on the north african state to take in migrants found at sea and he'll say once the e.u. to build migration camps in libya but that doesn't seem popular kookery being. free on many points with the europeans. related to illegal immigration however we categorically reject the existence of any michael incentives inside libya as it's against libyan oil and does not apply to libyan laws and regulations. when you know what the weapons but while the political wranglings continue these migrants a left at sea watching and waiting for a decision on their fate to be made. well i'm joined now by telephone with cobol from sea watch that's a nonprofit organization that conducts search and rescue operations in the mediterranean she is at the port in malta and she's been in touch with the staff from lifeline that's that stranded vessel carrying more than two hundred and thirty alina welcome to the show what is the situation on board the flying tonight i mean what have the korean refugees from lifeline what are they told you. al

course the government the that just came into office two weeks ago promised a particularly matusow vini the head of the league promised that they would really put didn't put an end to the constant flow of migrants coming into italy unchecked and they want to really sort of make through this promise on the other hand of course they do try to create a clash with brussels because what they think and rightly so in a way is that if you ask nicely in the european union as italy has done for years you get nothing but if you really go for a head on collision if you really lead the vote migrants sort of wait in the mediterranean for some soul to sort of pick them up for some neighboring countries to show to show mercy then you may get somewhere so that's what italy is sort of counting on and that explains the strategy and how is the e.u. likely to react here to rome's unilateral action. we saw quite different reactions of course you already mentioned monreal micron was said is sitting still what rome is doing there and of course is the basis of this is the extreme right wing politics officer of

wrong direction i mean a supposed people like say the hunger in promise of a role by a normative so vini the deputy prime minister in italy would say look we're doing what people in all countries want us to do which is to protect the borders and all of those sorts of things is that a reasonable argument to say i think that's a quite dangerous argument first of all we know enough polls that show that people are very much willing to help people in need always of course depends how you frame the question and every to organise famous for posing questions and that sense that you might end up agreeing with him even if you didn't want to but still i mean asking for asylum the protection of people in need to sit basic human rights by the way one human right that was invented in europe after the second world war stemming from the very horrible experiences there of many people not finding protection and even if there would be a majority against one human right is that a reason to stop. but from existing and which human right to score and to be next i think if leaders here are taking over the far r

minister so vini will go to libya next week so we see a lot of movement on that front so that seems to be the next big solution also called solution to keep away from the european union territory so the contentious issues of course are the rules that of course are still the dublin regulations and that is a point we're not very likely to see successful reform but maybe some some formula can be found to push that off a bit in the future and to leave that open for a little while all right well a mini summit as we said scheduled for this sunday barbara vessel reporting for us thank you barbara. but has america has already made some moves to reverse or open door policy to migrants she's allowed deportations to resume for rejected asylum seekers from afghanistan this despite findings by the foreign ministry that the situation there is still unstable fears are growing for afghans hoping to find safety in germany like the young man you're about to meet. i'm ahmed i'm almost twenty years old i was born in afghanistan but i was raised in iran and i'm training to be a hotel manager my. last month

that is absolutely true because that was at the core of the election campaign of material salvini vini is the chief of the league the party that comes from the north originally is exe dream the right to being has turned very much to the riots in the last time and he will be the new strongman of this government he is shopper he is truly and he's more strategic and he promised for instance to raise the row my camps around rome he promises to throw out five hundred thousand migrants from italy just send them back somehow he fantasize about segregating the train carriages on the metro in milano so he really talks of extremely racist language and he's going to change the tone in italy to its migrants ok so talking about it before you were elected is one thing now there in government will they be able to follow through on those promises . on some of them yes they really can make life hell in italy for migrants and refugees italian so far they have been fairly tolerant in a sort of laissez faire way they just let people be there is somehow an models through but if salvini really will be inter

vini of the far right italian leader now interior minister on an outreach trip to libya he's at the forefront along with people like oban in hungary of a big anti migration drive tearing really european policy apart why is it that the european union doesn't seem to be able to come up with a more sustainable coherent unified policy that isn't simply closing borders and keeping people out. thank you it has been a problem since the so-called cries of the thousand and fifteen and we have seen the european union has a whole as a as a political platform failing to come up with a unified response to the then crisis and today's realities of migration from africa i think the time has come to perhaps explore alternatives to the ideas that the only alternative to solving is an or bones national is rhetoric is an e.u. wide response with twenty eight member states for the time being i don't see being able to come to a collective agreement you mention or burn think of there is a maze percolation with rex it is hard to imagine how these twenty eight states could at this point in time so what is an alternati

torture and extortion in libya's detention centers now during his meeting in tripoli a short time ago so vini proposed that libya set up migration riffs reception centers in the south of the country he also said it would be a problem to have such reception centers in italy as that would not stop the flows of death across the mediterranean. you know to tell you because we believe that it should only be the libyan authorities who control libyan waters. government organizations from these borders who want to replace goats and help illegal immigrants on sunday salvini also ordered foreign charities to stop rescuing migrants off the libyan coast even as reports emerged that hundreds of people were on boats in distress in the mediterranean sea and he was quoted as saying the only sea italy on a postcard and twenty seventeen italy agreed to train equip and finance the libyan coast guard to help it into sept and turn back vessels carrying refugees and migrants to europe now salvini it is a big topic of discussion on italian social media partially because of some of the very colorful things he said in
