One of europes Migration Choke Points is gasping. More than 8000 arriving in lampedusa in just three days this week, more than the whole population of the italian island. The Migrant Centre built to hold 400 was at ten times its capacity congested, chaotic, some trying any futile way to get free. Today, two new arrivals rather more planned. The italian Prime Minister, giorgio meloni, and the eu president , Ursula Von Der Leyen to see for themselves the turmoil at europes door. Italys leader is under pressure, elected with promises to curb migration. Numbers are now double the same period last year. Translation what is at stake here is the future, future that europe wants to set for itself. And it is very important to be able to tackle the huge, massive challenges which lie ahead for us, especially in terms of illegal immigration. The eu president offered more help from the bloc s border force to crack the smugglers and more efforts to distribute migrants across europe, something severa
When the storm came, fractured libya was ill prepared. Half a years rainfall fell in 2a hours. In daylight, as much as a quarter of the Port City Of Derna was revealed to be gone. Engulfed by flood water after two Mountain Dams failed. Families were washed out to sea as they slept. The grim work to retrieve the lost is underway. With terrible force, the floods swept through this city. Destroying homes, cars, bridges. There was no warning, no evacuation order. Gently, the body of a child is recovered from the rubble. Few here are being found alive. Derna and libya are overwhelmed. Its too much for those left grieving. Entire families were swallowed by the deluge. Translation i already lost six people. We managed to take out three and we did not find the other three people. We are searching for the bodies here. We could not find them. Translation this is| gods will and destiny. I lost my sister and her daughters. May god have mercy on the dead and bring back the lost. Derna has long been
Have arrived on the island over the past three days. Thats more than lampedusas local population which is around 6 or7,000. Nearly 126. 000 migrants have arrived in italy so far this year, almost double the figure by the same date last year. Lets hear what Giorgia Meloni had to say. However, if somebody here in europe were to think that these Global Crisis that we are tackling and facing could be just solved within the italian borders, then it would be a very big, huge mistake on their side, because this massive flow of immigrants is something which requires the involvement and the responsibility by everybody to be tackled, because its going to affect certainly the border, the frontier countries, but it will soon also involve all of the other countries. So we are all involved in this. We are all involved in trying to tackle and deal with this situation. And therefore the presence of president von der leyen is a sign of awareness in this respect. The head of the European Commission, Urs
By channel 4. In a statement, banijay uk which purchased endemol in 2020 said in light of the very serious allegations relating to the alleged serious misconduct of Russell Brand while presenting shows produced by endemol in 2004 and 2005, banijay uk has launched an urgent internal investigation and will co operate with any requests for information from broadcast partners and external agencies.
