Im brian thomas thanks so much for joining us on this International Migrants day we look at in astounding number there are an estimated sixty six Million People around the world who have been forced to leave their homes seventeen percent of them are in europe the greek island of lesbos for example is now home to thousands of them the main camp on the island is the maria refugee camp but its the People Living outside that camp in makeshift homes who are the subjects of our next report walled conditions and conflict with the local population is simmering did abuse all over south filed this exclusive report from les boss. Can be early move his fingers its the morning after another cold night on the greek island of lesbos. And his friends ran out of firewood long ago. And now theyll use whats left of this Cardboard Box to heat todays first cup of tea. From iraq hes been here on the island of lesbos for two months know in a makeshift camp just outside the morea refugee camp we dont have a water. Source. We are many. But we dont have. A different here just. Next door is the official camp morea it looks like a high security prison made for refugees that have come to the greek islands in the hopes of continuing on to north and europe they have to wait here until their asylum applications have been processed authorities strictly for bit filming here. Whoever you look youll see garbage and thesis and People Living right in the midst of it the refugee camp is full far beyond its capacity and with more people arriving than leaving conditions here are getting worse every day. Wants to show us whats happening inside the camp so we follow him with a hidden camera. The air is filled with the stench of smoke garbage and feces the United Nations high commissioner for refugees or u. N. H. C. R. Recently said that moria was dangerous for women and children but they are the ones who must stay here. It seems like a miracle that epidemics havent spread within the camp yet. Please dont give. Me just. Security. You see. Many refugees have taken matters into their own hands to stay warm knowledge that its getting colder they simply lied old trees. These trees belong to local residents feel this and still use visits his fields he has to struggle to maintain his composure. Well off to come in then about all these trees are burnt then about theres nothing left of these trees wont grow again theyre finished there one hundred twenty trees and now theres only for a little bit about this and nobody cares the authorities wont stop this they got in a fight or compensate us every night these people cut down the trees and burned them. There with. The village of moria is in a state of emergency. It is another villagers me to regularly to discuss ways to deal with the situation with. The local mayor nikos truck haleys has just returned from talks with the greek government in athens the news isnt good. If the situation goes on like this it wont take long before we have physical confrontation up to now we are tolerating the looting of peoples assets and its fortunate that things havent become violent yet. But its a matter of time before that happens. Ahmed al majid left his country to escape violence he doesnt want to be lumped together with lawbreakers he wants to leave less because but for now a ferry take it to athens remains just a distant dream. Ok with the situation clearly escalating on lesbos lets bring in now clare seaward humanitary Campaign Manager with the n. G. O. S oxfam she joins us now from paris good morning to you thanks for being with us this morning. You know we just rolling report there the situation is threatening to be to escalate on lesbos right now authorities there are accusing the greek government of allowing the island to turn into a giant prison from what youve been able to assess is that the case and he should be no doubt that the situation unless the us both within moria camp and outside truly pulling out on acceptable and ive seen refugees sitting settings across the weald and this is that i have to say what we absolutely need to see is people being able to leave the island as part of the process in their asylum claims theres a containment policy put in place by the greek government with the support of other european Member States that is keeping people there there is no way really to improve the situation on the island the the solution has to be being able to allow people to move to the mainland whilst their son plane gets its head and processed ok say move to the mainland but whats the situation there is lesbos unique or are we seeing similar conditions on the mainland where the refugees migrants would potentially be heading. The situation in mainland is bad im not saying its perfect and theres work to be done there too but it is by no means anywhere near as bad as what youre seeing on lets lets island at least on the mainland you have People Living in proper accommodation not squashed into tents they have access to services they have they have the possibility of being somewhere safe while they wait their asylum claim to be had there is more to be done absolutely thats a response to the greek government and europe has a response they have to support them in that but is it is by far a better solution in keeping people in the islands now ok saying more needs to be done one of the points one of the you called bottlenecks where where this is all being held up is the asylum process that it takes too long for people to have their cases adjudicated is this what needs to be addressed what needs to be changed to improve the situation in the cams i think there is theres several things that need to be done on multiple levels. One is that yes these prices need to be done faster and the greek saddam service has been struggling to keep up that needs more support and investment. But but lets be clear you cant improve whats going on in the audience particularly there is no way to make it back to the best thing that could be done is that people arrive on one island yes get their fingerprints taken and then they move to the combination on the mainland site so they can sit there because its on pricing does take a little bit of time but frankly one week is too long to be sitting on in those conditions as as your viewers have seen this morning claire seawards humanitarian Campaign Manager with oxfam thank you so very much for being with us this morning. And a migration has of course been strongly influencing politics and elections here in europe monaco like in austria and there it led to a right Wing Coalition of course which will be sworn in today and it is promising to crack down on migration and improve Public Safety but migrants olds a perform a unique function distributing wealth across the globe migrants who have jobs frequently send money back where they come from supporting their families and the economy there too now we visit a syrian refugee here in berlin who is trying to revive his familys business from back home. Chemistry is at the heart of everything thats why tarif conon finds the subject so fascinating for the last few weeks the twenty six year old syrian has been studying the subject at Berlins Free University of essen waking up eating drinking driving a car its all chemistry so chemistry is important for all areas of life you also have to have a knowledge of chemistry in our field of work oh someone can meet some.

And thats the only way theyll be able to start this project we need a little money for that and well only get that if the resident status is unlimited. When she is the only way theyll be able to get that permanent resident status is if the pair can convince immigration authorities that their business will work once that hurdle is overcome theyll need to find a bank willing to lend them a quarter of a Million Euros only then the pair say can they get started for the second time. Im going to merkel has signaled interest in a close a Monetary Union in the e. U. Along the lines suggested by false president. Now the german chancellor met with markov at the recent European Council summit in brussels both leaders hope to have a unified action plan by march next year on topics such as a common euro zone finance minister and budget and lay back and says the litmus test of the plans will be whether they boost the eurozone economy overall. And as they feel sinful it would be important to come to a true economic and Monetary Union in the sense that our competitiveness is enhanced that research and digitalization become more integrated. In chief more often economic convergence among Member States. We also have to talk about how institutions can be rendered fit for the future so theyre capable of meeting the challenges of the future. Of a new one. On to by a professor of economics at the Frankfurt School of finance and management good to have you with us first of all lets say that chancellor Angela Merkel will still be in charge next year that we do have a government in place well twenty eighteen actually see the stotts off a common fiscal and economic European Union i think so are saying does a good chance that this will develop in this direction because we have to see the president mccall is very strong has a strong position in europe is also very well recognised in germany and lets see if we get again a Great Coalition here in germany but probably there will be much more open for such kind of a move towards more integration in europe ok but is obviously not just down to paris and to berlin we have nineteen eurozone Member States theres talk of a euro zone budget the eurozone finance minister Banking Union whats the likelihood that all nineteen Member States will actually agree of course this is right i mean nineteen members are good agreement between nineteen members is not so easy however we have to see if you put together to have been informed that we already have of the cheapie of the euro area so to opinion and erection problems in germany is moving is surely very much important for all all members of the eurozone and from your perspective i mean does a common fiscal and Economic Policy make sense yes or no i think it makes sense because we have to see the euro is a kind of equalizers order to their countries has to be more comparable and you do need a kind of a convergence see in economic terms in monetary terms and inflation terms in competitiveness and so forth on for that and monetary and Economic Union can make make much sense in the euro area ok i take that as a yes a professor of economics at the franco school of finance and management thank you so much for this. Now then a major vote at the United Nations today and brian has more on that all about jerusalem the u. N. Security council set to vote today on a draft resolution on the disputed status of jerusalem the council will consider attacks and submitted by egypt after President Trump said the washington would recognize jerusalem as the official capital of israel that decision has triggered a new surge of violence in the west bank in the gaza strip and protests across the muslim world. In the gaza strip effigies of donald trump and Benjamin Netanyahu burn earlier protesters carried models of the dome of the rock through the streets. These symbolic acts bear one message jerusalem belongs to the palestinians and can never become israels capital. In the west bank town of bethlehem more protests on the we are here tonight on the. Muslims and the christians. On this just. Different messages to all the war. First of all we are refusing the speech of. Jerusalem as a capital for what it called as well and moving america n. B. C. To. Crowds demonstrated in turkey to the countrys president reject type erda one making a diplomatic statement in support of the palestinians. Since jerusalem is currently under occupation we cannot go there and open our embassy but a consulate general is represented at ambassador level so we have to factor our company stace god willing that he is close when officially we will open our embassy there. Despite the protests netanyahu reiterated his support for trumps plan to move the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem and he condemned egypts introduction of a draft u. N. Resolution seeking to reverse the move. I would like to express once again my special appreciation for the determination and leadership of President Trump and his administration in defending the truth of israel they reject attempts to use the un as a platform against israel. Just days before u. S. Vice president mike pence is due to visit israel divisions in the middle east deeper than ever. Well here in germany. Was due to meet with the families of the victims of last years Christmas Market. Meeting comes shortly after grieving relatives published an open letter sharply criticizing. Our shes handled the situation specifically for not reaching out to them our correspondent Frank Hoffman met with the relatives of one of the victims or the polish truck driver were shot and killed before his vehicle was used in the attack one year ago tomorrow. Takes candles to the grave of her son luke the first victim of the attack on the berlin Christmas Market the walk to the cemetery in the polish town of bani a has become a regular ritual for her and her husband. Because we come almost every other day we have to tidy up here because so many people come from all over poland even all of europe we have to take good care of the grave usually its visitors from germany who come to lay flowers the cemetery is a fifteen minute drive from the polish german border look at his parents feel forgotten they expected more support and compassion from germany theyve yet to receive a letter of condolence from chancellor. Wont speak on camera too many tears she says. The attack in berlin shattered this usually tranquil region of western poland many locals are further dismayed by the way the German Government reacted afterwards. It was only in march this year three months after the attack that a commissioner for relatives of the victim was appointed. I think none of us was really prepared to say that what happened in france could happen here. As a result we made an error in judgment. It wasnt enough for the president of germany to speak with the victims relatives. It should have been the chancellor thats regarded as a major shortcoming on the part of the government. Cousin. Is angry at German Authorities at the time of the attack he headed the Trucking Firm whose vehicle was hijacked by the attacker. Besides the biggest lost my cousin i had to shoulder enormous expenses because of the attack i didnt even say that early on. The haunting remnant in this bag a fragment of the truck wreckage is a valve that the police returned to our city for months after the attack was out of action because of the official investigation. There was the loss of my very expensive truck for one thing. I had to replace the tractor trailer at least. Then there were three weeks of inactivity and all the lost income relating to that. And of course multiple trips to berlin. He did receive ten thousand euros compensation from the German Foreign ministry the same as the other victims relatives the special commissioner maintains hes done Everything Possible to help her off skis firm recover but a year after the attack the pain of loss is still very present for the family of the.

Who theyve already put a hold of me were going to give the best of ourselves to accomplish our mission to not let down our countrymen and so the chile can return to the progress and development.

Take over the reins from a child but she laid the incumbent president his popularity doing during his second term under her presidency she lease economy has been flagging mainly due to a full in the price of copper chiles top export but critics say but chiles policy was also responsible. Position to himself as the most suited candidate to revive the economy while his rival a hundred a year represented a continuation of but chiles plans. The center left for one journalist has conceded defeat the pledged to defend but chiles policies which include Free Education and Better Health care. I believe we can feel proud of our proposal but we also have to be selfcritical we suffered a hard defeat and its in look defeats that you learn the most we have to lift our mood and go out to defend the reforms we believe in.

At the restart leverkusen brought on leon bailey and it took the jamaican just two minutes to pull the sides level again.
