Last weeks earthquake six days on survivors are still waiting desperately for help more than fourteen hundred people are confirmed dead. German Football Club goes to sicily to help migrants integrate their sports we take a look at the take boarders project. Im susan was going to its good to have you with us the last privately operated ship dedicated to saving migrants from drowning in the mediterranean has docked in the port of mar say the aquarius has had its license withdrawn so it wont be able to head out to sea again legally this is part of a crackdown on migration by italy that the operators of the aquarius say it jeopardizes the lives of many would be refugees. This ship has meant the difference between life and death for thirty. Thousand people say its operators the n. G. O. S the west mediterranean launched the aquarius two and a half years ago the group says its work is vital. Here and leave there is massive confusion in the mediterranean theres no real coordination to manage the distress calls and lead rescue operations. Of. The aquarius is out of action and there are no other private sea rescue vehicles operating in the mediterranean. For other ships run by n. G. O. S have already been detained to vessels lifeline and sea watch three are being held in malta the ship you vent to is stuck in the port of to pani in sicily all the boats have been to flag now the aquarius joined their ranks. Before returning to its home port of mar say the aquarius transferred fifty eight shipwrecked migrants to the maltese coast guard this after italy refused to ship permission to dock following a hard line on migrants from the abuse of swath announced the right time because its the cannot continue to be the refugee camp of europe. This isnt the first maritime drama aquarius has been involved in this summer it was forced to embark on a weeklong odyssey on the mediterranean several countries refused to take in one hundred migrants aboard rescued off the coast of libya spain eventually took the ship now its future is again in doubt as so s. Military has asked several countries to let it sail under their flags so far they havent backed the boat. Earlier we spoke to nick one of the activists on board the aquarius we asked him what canceling his ships registration would mean for migrants trying to cross the mediterranean sea. It seems what european policy at the moment is that in order for migration you have two choices be dignified to be encouraged got taken back to libya that in turn for the french and we know what the situation in libya is at the moment for biopsy and thats what european politicians and policy is not occasion for at the moment lets bring in our Brussels Bureau chief max health man for more on this story now max we heard there very sharp accusation from the aquarius crewmember its one that we have heard as well before and how is that you responded well the e. U. Officials have always said of course that they are trying to avoid deaths at sea they would not agree with that part but if you look at the numbers there are some very interesting new numbers out from an italian think tank that has calculated the death rate of those that try to make it across the mediterranean for september and that percentage is the highest ever recorded nineteen percent which basically means to me that one of the four people who try to make the crossing and thats according based on u. N. Data one out of four die why has it become so difficult for n. G. O. S boats on the mediterranean right now. Well the thing is what with the with the n. G. O. S as in the case of aquarius is that no longer has a flag and was sailing under the flag of panama and that flag was taken back by panama so it needs a license as you called it earlier it needs a flag to continue and no e. U. Country at the moment seems willing to give the aquarius a flag so thats not exactly helping the aquarius and that the beef that many you countries or at least some of them had with the n. G. O. S operating in libyan coastal waters was or that was the accusation that they take up migrants that are still very close to the libyan coast and then taken all the way across the mediterranean thus facilitating Human Trafficking because it is true that in the end the Business Model of the human traffickers was to put as many margins as possible in boats that were not at all able to cross the mediterranean let alone maybe just you know go fifty kilometers out and of course the Business Model was that as soon as they had left the coast they would call the geos and they were rescued and that didnt fit in with the plans of the European Union. Is what were saying max the tougher stance on migration across the e. U. Is that were going to see going forward. What were seeing at the moment is that the e. U. Is completely concentrating on one part of a comprehensive migration policy which is deterrence which is securing the outer borders which is trying to establish migration caps in Northern Africa theres currently negotiating with egypt experts dont really think this will go someplace but the other part the second part of a comprehensive migration policy taking in those that are in dire need the real refugees and the redistributing them within the European Union try to integrate them in some way that is not at all treated at the moment and thats why we have this focus on the other part and i think were going to see more of that at the moment as long as the e. U. Member states are able to compromise on the other part and this discussion so we has been going on since two thousand and fifteen is by far the most divisive issue in the European Union and we dont expect this to be resolved within the next months or years all right max hoffman for us in brussels max thank you very much now some other stories making news around the world britains defense minister said russia is behind a series of indiscriminate and reckless Cyber Attacks around the globe Gavin Williamson called the alleged hacks the actions of a pariah state british and australian officials have now for the first time blamed the russian mill military Intelligence Agency known as g r u for the incident.

Remembering the victims of the holocaust this is not just a routine duty for the chancellor Angela Merkel emphasizes germanys friendship with israel despite political differences at the audition memorial she recalled germanys special responsibility. For the eighty years ago during the night of the night for jewish people in germany faced hate and violence of unimaginable severity. Followed was that unprecedented destruction of civilized values the shoah as a result germany has an eternal responsibility to remind the world of this crime and to counter antisemitism soon a phobia hate and violence.

Covering chancellor merkels visit to israel and she joins us from jerusalem hi tony good to see you we mentioned that chance americal stopped holding consultations with netanyahu last year tell us more about why will ations broke down. Well at the time we understand there have been differences over settlement issues germany has always been very critical about settlement issues now both also legislation that has been done here in israel and thats why we understand here the consultations have been postponed this year but we also have a sense that this year the consultation its been a bit like you know it should be like business as usual with a focus on the bilateral relations focus on the economy on technology on innovation and thats also for the first time there has been there is a business delegation that is that is here and its about together with the cabinet and chance in america. But tony and i had of a chance of michaels visit there were palestinians protesting on the west bank we have some pictures of that we see here bedouins in the village of qana are protesting just yesterday and villagers they are angry over more settlement construction tell you how will the chancellor approach this issue on her trip.

To self demolished evidence by october first and there was a lot of commotion you know before ahead of this visit whats going to happen doing the visit so we understand that some of them from the visit from the village would come here and would like to give a letter to.

Migrants continue to arrive on europes shores every day and one way of helping them integrate with their new neighbors is through sports sicily is an arrival point for many so German Second Division team has sent coaches there with a mission to unite people through football. A football pitch in the sicilian town of syracuse a has been temporarily taken over by german club some paoli technical director. And several youth team coaches have traveled over under them also kick the boarders italians the migrants will train together for five days and one hundred even if the migrants are no longer really arriving in germany but people are still coming to europe even if the reception senses. That people have not suddenly gone away they are in other places and so it is important to focus on a few men to europe has a common responsibility and cannot just leave people in italy here in sicily on their own you know here in the sea and to go to. Whether people are from italy a west africa doesnt matter football brings people together the fact this project is organized by a german professional club has made quite an impression. To me because to do horse. So. We did. So its great for me. The training has been brilliant you can see that this is a serious Football Club and the people have real experience theyre a great group and that has been a lot of dialogue. This just. Going if you know what a good foot on. The Training Camp ends of course with the big match. On. Some paoli have done their bit now the local Community Must carry on the good work they will help you to continue with this project did you play football in that you are a team like to the game i was disappointed because this was not correct for central defenders to quit for the opponent this was not fair. Its also now up to the italians and migrants to take their newfound foamed beyond the football pitch. The old base to see how this team is going to get for they even the football is not the solution but is part of it because if we play with to society. I think many. Opportunities and what the project is all about football knows no borders. To motor sports now where the chinese trade city of one harm got its first taste of the freestyle motocross World Championship this week the citys football stadium was turned into a dream playground for the professional riders which included three former world champs the athletes took turns wowing the crowd with their daring stunts but germanys leukoma was the star of the show the twenty year old nailed a double back flip neck to seal victory and there were many more daring stunts on show. The. The. All right hell is here with business now in helena a closer look now at the citys bond buying thats right off those incredible pictures of motor bike might tempt you with some news about the European Central banks Bond Buying Program well apparently its legal and within the powers of the central bank that is the conclusion at least of an investigation which was carried out by the European Court of justice inspector that you said at the e. C. B. Squanto easing program did not violate and e. U. Ban on directly financing the debt of the euro zone a government that is often members of the conservative Christian Social Union of the far right alternative to germany filed complaints and since twenty fifteen the e. C. V. Has been printing money to buy out bones from euro crisis countries in the European Court of justice will reach a final ruling before the end of the year for more on this we can speak to our financial correspondent in frankfurt but it is tracking the story for us pound explain to us why there was doubt over the galaxy of the e. C. B. Actions. Yes i want to turn to stand that we first have to understand what it what it does so the e. C. Bees amanda is a Monetary Policy in effect keeping prices pretty much at the same level so stability and its key a measure to do that is Interest Rates but of course after the financial crisis those Interest Rates dropped and dropped and dropped and once there are zero theres hardly anything you can do so another means to get more money into the market is to buy these bonds effectively what the e. C. B. Does is it goes to bangs and says hey were going to buy these bonds from you so they will have more money available to put in riskier assets to give out to companies or to private citizens to then invest which hopefully will create more economic dynamic you know people spending money thats going to be good for the economy right the problem is that this drives Interest Rates down while not the problem but it makes it easier for countries to take up more debt and. It was seen as. Possibly illegal for the e. C. B. To meddle within this. With other countries basically thanks re going down its mandate absolutely breaking down for us and what else is driving markets day in front but today. More worries about bonds actually sell off in the u. S. Treasury has spiked switch while essentially takes money out of the market. That means its so these these treasuries are fairly a risk free investment you can put your money and you can be fairly certain that youll get money out that means people are less likely to invest in the stock market european share prices have been down following asian prices to. Day similarly. Or another worry is brad said as european carmakers have a war and the u. K. That they know what your bread said was would cause trouble in production on the island all right our financial correspondent paul cost him with it for us the french but Stock Exchange thank you very much.
