Not since the crisis in 2015 has europe seen images quite like this. Images quite like this. The deputy Prime Minister decribes it is an invasion. Translation it is obviously organised, financed and prepared. It is an act of war because if we go on at 6,000 migrants a day it means collapse for italian society. I said at the beginning, what is happening in lampedusa is the death of europe. 7,000 migrants crossing the mediterranean in just two days to an island with Space Forjust 400. The storm at the beginning of the week had created a bottle neck on the North African beaches. But by wednesday, conditions were calmer. Nearly 200 boats crossed in just a few hours. There are thousands more who are waiting to cross. From here, most of these migrants will be transferred to the italian mainland, but the vast majority will disappear before those Asylum Claims are decided. They are heading north. And that is testing the European Union. Today, one of the leaders of the french far right, marion marechal, was in lampedusa to see it for herself. Translation we know that. Many of the people were seeing today will probably be in france in a week or months time. So i want to be here to call a change of policy at the european level and also for our Member Governors to take responsibility and stop sending out signals of openness that are contributing to the humanitarian situation that we are seeing today in lampedusa. The french have this week doubled their Police Presence on the border with italy. Rome called on its neighbours to share the burden, and in response, they are refusing to take back returns while italys Processing Centres remain full. We have heard similar discussions patrolling joining me now from turin is luca barana, a Research Fellow at iai, an italian relations think tank. His research focuses on eu and italian migration policies. Why are we seeing so many people crossing is no single cause for migration. Crossing is no single cause for migration crossing is no single cause for miaration. ,. ,. ,. , migration. The situation we are indications migration. The situation we are indications of migration. The situation we are indications of already migration. The situation we are indications of already existing l indications of already existing trends in it has been increasing since 2020. Over the last 12 months this perspective and also there is change in terms of composition of the flow. Now we have more Sub Saharan African countries trying to reach italy and they are departing are not represented in the flow policies migrants to the country have been europe has tried and failed for many years to find a collective i have sat in on so many summits in brussels when these things are being discussed. But it seems to me things are being discussed. But it seems to me there things are being discussed. But it seems to me there is things are being discussed. But it seems to me there is no things are being discussed. But it seems to me there is no appetite in europe to help italy. Politically, what are the risks of that if italy is left to deal it is paradoxical we are having this kind of discussion because a few months ago the European Union to but we know that agreement is at the same time, has prided herself as a cooperative and a reliable partner talking about her being i dont think we are going towards the tone on the rhetoric is and you shared with the obviously there is an appetite within the commission to do something. Along their border, the germans doing this has been a consolidated issue over the last ten years. France has always complained about the leniency and the Movement Europe to italy and then move like france when they need to be processed ita it a you have the Prime Minister is trying to put together with the tunis government. In trying to put together with the tunis government. Trying to put together with the tunis government. In years gone by the used tunis government. In years gone by they used to tunis government. In years gone by they used to pay tunis government. In years gone by they used to pay colonel tunis government. In years gone by they used to pay Colonel Gaddafi. They used to pay Colonel Gaddafi beaches and break up the gangs. Do they have a willing partner in tunis because according to the deputy Prime Minister, he thinks it is also if you read it. Do you think he is letting him go through because the money has not arrived . We dont have evidence the money has not arrived . We dont have evidence of the money has not arrived .

We dont have evidence of this but for sure a l have evidence of this but for sure a country, a government like tunisia is well aware of the kind of leveraged it has on the fears of migration in europe. But i dont think, i dont have the evidence right now to say that there is an organised attempt to force europes hand. For sure since the agreement, the memorandum has been signed there has been an increase of arrivals. But i dont have the evidence to say that this is an organised attempt.

At least 11,000 people died when two dams burst during a heavy storm, sending torrents of water and mud through the coastal city of derna. The uns emergency relief coordinator, martin griffiths, said today he has redeployed a team hed previously sent to deal with the earthquake in morocco. 0ur colleague Quentin Somerville has sent us this report. The roads became rivers and the rivers became a deluge, carrying everything with it and bringing with it a wave of death and destruction. This grainy Security Camera footage is from the moment when the floods hit and derna was changed forever. Dams upstream meant to protect the city failed, sealing the fate of thousands. In derna, people began to pray for gods mercy. When the torrent passed, some were able to escape. As the rains continued to fall, they sought the safety of rooftops. Few could imagine the scale of the catastrophe. Down below, the force of the torrent swept much in its wake. Those who could made their escape to higher ground. And now the aftermath. A turkish rescue team wades through pools of destruction in search of what remains. The mud and filth makes the work slow and dangerous, and the risk of disease is growing. Translation our feelings toward the city is very difficult to describe, to be honest with you. We lost friends, relatives and a big portion of derna society. But for the time being, we appreciate how people stood with us. Hopefully, we will have a better future. Theyre working round the clock and perhaps improbably days into this disaster, survivors are being found. Speak to us so we can find where you are, Rescue Workers call out. People are returning to derna not to resume their lives, but to identify the dead. The bodies keep coming, laid out on City Pavements in the hope they will be claimed. Across this port city, the search continues, but its far from easy. Translation this is the first time weve seen a true disaster happening. We are facing difficulties as theres no Visibility Due to the land that was washed into the sea by the floods. For now, the trained dogs hunt for signs of life. This one belongs to a spanish rescue team, but soon, it will be animals trained in Finding Corpses who will roam the runes. After the nato backed removal of Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, libya fell into chaos. Post revolution, Western Support vanished. Across Eastern Libya, needs have never been greater. In al bayda, ahmed says life as he knew it has ended. Translation it came i from here and completely washed away the valley. It hit the wall and destroyed everything around it. Ahmed is one of more than 30,000 people requiring shelter. Libyas eastern government failed to protect them from this disaster. Now, in their greatest hour of need, its struggling to cope with the aftermath. Quentin sommerville, bbc news. Not easy to get down that coastal road to derna. Anna foster has just reached derna, the town devastated by the disaster, from where she sent this update. I want to show you as much as i possibly can of what derna looks like tonight. The first thing you notice is how incredibly dark it is. You can see some of the workers over there who are using big diggers to search for bodies, rather than survivors. You can see them trying to do their work in the darkness. Even though it is like here, there are still people out. What you cant see but what you can get a sense of is how much of the city has just been ripped away. This area behind me was a narrow channel that ran through the centre of derna. And now it is almost 100 to scar on the landscape where everything in the path of that water has just been washed away. It came down towards the sea, people, buildings, cars, so much of itjust swept the sea, people, buildings, cars, so much of it just swept away. The sea, people, buildings, cars, so much of itjust swept away. Want the sea, people, buildings, cars, so much of it just swept away. Want to bring you round the side as well to try and give you a full view of what is going on now. You can see those lights in the distance, that is people crossing this torn away riverbed. There are some cars there, there are limited numbers of rescue vehicles, very limited aid, everything we have seen today on the way to derna has been local libyans, people in Pick Up Trucks with mattresses in the back, people handing out water. When we came into the city members of the National Libyan army were handing out masks for people to wear to combat some of the dust, the dirt and the smell thatis the dust, the dirt and the smell that is in the air. Finally, you can see one of the red crescent vehicles here, from the libyan red crescent and the landmark mosque in the background that was so important in the early days of this story, when people were trying to get a sense of how bad the damage was. The river bank was not next to this mosque a week ago and now the damage and the destruction goes all the way up to its door. All around here, you see things like cars that have been picked up, picked up and thrown into the front of a building with the force of the water. There were trees that had been uprooted and snapped. People here, there survivors who are out in the elements tonight, we have seen them sitting around some of these buildings, sitting around the shells of them, no electricity, no clean water, no health care and they have an enormously difficultjob on their hands right now.

Up to half a billion pounds of british taxpayers money will be invested in tata steels plant at port talbot in south wales. Its not clear how many of the 8,000 jobs that money will save, but it will help the plant transition to a greener future. We are saving jobs which would have been lost. Without this investment, we would probably have seen the end of steel making certainly in this part of the country, possibly in the whole of the uk. This is a transformation project. Were paying £500 million to transform port talbot into a Green Steel Making industry, and thats definitely something to be celebrating. It is not clear how many of the 8000 jobsit it is not clear how many of the 8000 jobs it will save, but it will have the plant transition to a greener future. It will replace the coal fired Blast Furnaces with a new Electric Arc Furnaces which will make its output more competitive. The trouble is, so called Green Steel Making requires fewer workers and as many as 3000 jobs may be lost. Live now to peter hughes, the regional secretary for wales at unite the union. Hes been at port talbot today meeting with representatives. Kemi badenoch, who we havejust heard from, she is looking atjobs Saved Rather Thanjob heard from, she is looking atjobs saved rather than job losses.

When you look at 3000 jobs potentially being made redundant, it is very short sighted and lacks ambition. Tata steele have asked for a lot more money to be invested in port talbot and they were going to put a lot more money in themselves to have more than one Electric Arc Furnace. But the Electric Arc Furnace they are talking about putting in will not be on site until 27, 28 and that is five years. There is technology to make steel and make it greener and make sure it protects those jobs at the same time. You and make sure it protects those obs at the same timei at the same time. You are right, there has at the same time. You are right, there has been at the same time. You are right, there has been a at the same time. You are right, there has been a lot at the same time. You are right, there has been a lot of at the same time. You are right, there has been a lot of criticism | there has been a lot of criticism about the transition they are funding. There are a range of other technologies as you say, they could use to make steel. An Electric Arc Furnace is one way, but when you look down the supply line it will not provide steel for packaging, some bits of car manufacturing. Does that mean we will still have to import steel . I that mean we will still have to import steel . That mean we will still have to im ort steel . ~. ,. , import steel . I think the technology in four or five import steel . I think the technology in four or five years import steel . I think the technology in four or five years time import steel . I think the technology in four or five years time will in four or five years time will produce steel for potentially packaging and potentially cars. Everyone has to be Carbon Neutral by 2030 and going into the future. I think it is the investment in the Electric Arc Furnaces which are important. If you buy a top of the range Electric Arc Furnace and have the technology to go with it, you can produce steel which goes further down the line. We dont think one is enough. When a government gives money to a company, especially the likes of 500 million, there has got to be some sort ofjob guarantees to go along with that. No government gives companies that money and then make 3000 people redundant on the back of it. Do make 3000
