let's, let's set you up today at small world news at the top of the, our next step closer follows the crew of a rescue ship as in box on its 1st mission to save migrants from drowning in the medicine. right? that's the, not just another day. so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand this is the day i'm in that's look at current use events, analyzed by experts and critical thinking is weekdays on d w. the

a group of volunteers is out on the mediterranean seats rushing to help refugees into stress. how many how many babies? many of the risk you volunteers have only just learned how to save lines in the last few days. now they're pushing the fresh training to the test and didn't really care which position i would do. i just wanted to go and help the refugees. they help us lean goal and persecution in their home countries. many has been on the move for years and a deeply traumatized. every single human life we save here matters is inside. the mediterranean sea is the world's most deadly refugee routes. since 2014 or the

29000 people have drowned here on their way to europe, the march 2020 to get some risk and others are traveling to poland. their plan is to buy a vessel conversate into a rescue ship and use it to rescue refugees. from drowning in the mediterranean we just got a call from the fleet manager. he told us the captain said the weather had gotten a lot worse than 2 years ago without any prior experience. guessing and a handful of like minded people found this assigned seat seat punks. in the past few months. they've raised 200000 euros and donations. it's been kind of really

worried about whether this will work or not, with, and working toward this for so long on the worst thing i can imagine right now is that we all have to take the train back home because we don't have a ship big going to take a look at a ship in poland, which might suit the needs so far, they've only seen pictures of it is that most of the 6 or meeting at the ship at 6 or we'll do all the paperwork and then he'll send someone out shopping and we'll be off on they've reached the pool team, poland. if everything goes well, the group will sign the purchase agreement today and transfer the ship straight to germany. the space have to sales up and i've seen it in the pictures, but it looks pretty different than real life. so i'm, i'm the, it's amazing. it's a guy. it's huge. 12 bags. the ship is over

50 years old. it's down to down to is a fishing boat been, was used as a sort of a vessel. it's time for the group to make a decision. ok. you have to read that. yeah, absolutely. all right, we already check before, so i'm fine. my name is on it. that's the main thing. the ship changes hands for 220000 year of buying. it brings gas on and the group a big step closer to the gold. the fed up with standing idly by, as refugees drowned in the mediterranean when it comes to your it's external boat is guess and believes the block is failing to live up to its responsibilities. of the thing, if you think about the north sea in the baltic sea, there's a kind of solidarity there as well. i most most thought when it happens elsewhere and not directly on your own doorstep, everyone looks the other way is in the end it's happening on our european doorstep

. and if you're a p in states won't do something about it. we'll have to before the sheets itself and it's 1st rescue mission. it has to be converted at the garage. so don't to see punk one is 27 meters long and could accommodate up to 100 people. rebuilding it takes several months longer than planned in the end, the modifications cost another 100000 bureaus in august 2023. it's finally ready to ship is now mod in the port authority on a in spain. the 1st commission is just days away. gas. so is the only c punks member joining the crew software that is not sort of of course we're excited of these as the can emphasis. now we can finally stop talking about it and, and actually do what we came here to do. good staples, in the international crew is

a mixed bag there. a team members here from easily fronts and jim many, many inexperienced in c rescue. others have been working as captains or operation leaders for years over the next few days. all of them will get to know the new tasks. one small group is responsible for see risk you practicing with life jackets. a new super role is the read communicating to. she's responsible for coordinating the operation from an inflatable thing and making 1st contact with the refugees. it goes well, but as every of the training feelings, because it's the 3 people. so let's go to our during the strings for some of our our

crew members are helping them practice holding people on board. it's not easy the . c 2 nice, a new kids 25 and studies lower and parents off to university she'd like to legally represent see risk you organizations such as c punks. she's been working with refugees before he is helping them navigate the complicated asylum seeking process . these will be her 1st offshore assignments. i worked with border needs to look for 6 months. so basically as mess direct me the survivors out like this,

that's the route. and i know that's why people have drones. there's really not a lot of things that we can do. so that's why i decided to go both good directly and to try to prevent as much as possible. up to 10 days of training. the team heads for the search and rescue area between she needs the additionally the, the captain gives the signal to push off observation from range. yes, we can start to bring on board the, the stand line. this 3rd line over this whole operation was financed with donations. it will cost $45000.00 bureaus. the most expensive part of this trip is the fuel for the ship gas on will be documenting the admission. the crew will be at

sea for several weeks. it was $0.10 from loma, and people waving at the same. yeah. now is the reality like react to the going? i feel super heavy about it comes way to apply everything that they ever learn the past few weeks. the submission is finally getting underway. no one quite knows what awaits them at sea captain, not to roach, and tore his being on a number of missions. he also works as a lawyer, international maritime law states that people in distress at c must be hills despite these risk, you cruise that repeatedly it use of human trafficking as a captain,

arturo has also been under investigation. the electric pink. you're doing something wrong. so quite convinced then you try to convince yourself that ok, i've seen people so good. i'm not wrong shortly after the ship passes the valley, eric islands, the way that wilson's christina hilts from slaves. big old stones is training to become a doctor. she's responsible for providing medical care to week and injured refugees . but at the moment christina has to take care of the crew. they haven't asked the crew is sick. if too many people get si 6 and we wouldn't be able to complete the

training, we'd plans for the crossing or run through some simulations at the moment we barely able to keep the ship run. they went up, city operational yeah, we have never coverage for the group designs to drop off the coast of san diego to recover and complete that final exercises the phone average a rescue mission can last 2 to 4 weeks. christina trains the other 12 crew members . so they can help provide medical care setting. that's this, i'm hate to assess. team with a must have search of engine people. that's hardly i deal with the small hospital and just to medical stuff. but it's still better than nothing. several feet in front of yada as when you montalvo to

christina is specializing to becoming a niece, but she works here on a voluntary basis. she 1st came into contact with refugees 2 years ago in both near providing medical kits of people fleeing along the bulk on route one of the saga best ms. moore to view. if you ask, what motivates me? i have a 1000 different offices from. i'm mentioned from a humane perspective, people a drowning and dumb it. we're pulling them out of the water. this does it. these know if it's not just about human rights, it's about what he's ethically acceptable. and i don't want to be part of the europe that lets people drown a new can guess and also it practicing resuscitation. the

kinds i'm to start, i realize resuscitation is aren't always successfully most. and just i might be the one who attempts it and someone could die in the process. this could be something that haunts me. perhaps for the rest of my life. i'm for floyd, they've reached the search and rescue zone between shanicea and easily. the crew has been at sea for 10 days. ringback training is complete, their mind is still pretty calm with just a tiny bit nervous and started sputtering and boats in distressing the vast mediterranean these notes easy from here to see looks endless processing fee that essentially were like an ambulance travel thing about as fast as a bicycle across a space,

the size of bavaria and sales. but there is so many refugees that see that they don't have to look from a fishing trula in phones, the captain of a boat in distress nearby. uh huh. you got to location. okay, i'll have to fight the crew right away. how much time do we have? it's time to put what they've trained into practice. a new has never been on such a rescue operation, let alone coordinated one. she'll need to remember all her training to help her team and the people that rescuing stay calm the approach to both i had. so the name of this vision like, well this is actually people to stay. and i so faces at, i don't know. i think i had like maybe 3 seconds of it says unreal. and then i put myself in my reef. come in the case where she was again,

how many how many babies? one, baby. it's a nukes job to establish trust with the refugees. she has to prevent them from panicking and pulling into the room. this is where your safety a nuke has to be careful not to get too close to the shop age. the middle clothes that seem evacuated to the people into the d one by one. children 1st a space is limited. the people here have been at sea for 3 days without food. for protection from the sun, the old, the hydrated, and extremely weak. the i was the baby,

and then another child was starting to get in conscious. and it was like really necessary to all these had to make sure this to is to bring things at this moment that i, as gerson to intervene into hopes ahead of the. so getting late, so one of the children stopped reading one simple, the risk you shift christina, to resuscitate the child. situation is critical. the while the children are being looked after on board, the crew returns to pick out more people then something goes wrong. a wave watches the inflatable dingey against the

refugees metal, but i think the thing is deflating. more so rushing into the tech visit the fader, especially because it was the actual 1st rescue that they did. and for the moment i actually did the, i couldn't make it that i was fits for the position the thing is no longer see where the fortunately another rescue see if he's close by. they help the see punk spring old refugees safely on board to the child who had to be

resuscitated. he's in such a pool state that the crew requested emergency medical transport from the italian coast guard to see both already has all the refugees on board and takes the people to the island of lump into the sum of 60 kilometers away. okay, think it was just amazing from every single person how they work for me, that only made it possible to keep this child life. they had a child who's trying to die out of settings. i'm kind of christian, so touched brown as you so thank you. so much for that. the other refugees are in stable condition. they come all the way from been in, in west africa, around 6000 kilometers away. the 37 percent of people suffer from malnutrition, and almost half the country leads below the prophecy line. altura context the coast

guard. so we, there's 242 fun to take about $2.00. we have 42 people on board, the sea, from corn. the coast got us to see if anyone else on board requires urgent medical care. the, the probably means that we will get another case, otherwise they wouldn't do it right. yes, yes, but they just do it. so to have us empty and then and was sentenced to the next case. an hour and a half later the coast, god returns to pick up the remaining people. the times i just need one. on the one hand, you can see the people's relation because they think we've made a, we're going to europe now comes up, but they have no idea what awaits them. but they won't be given the chance to build

a new life here and to access the opportunities that you and i have is white europeans and the so called free europe. i saw it will pay a it's not all that free for people who aren't from here. for the last and this one here come, soul sky, it will help me. this is the refugees of old, the sea punk one a brought to them producer and italian islands, just off the tune, easy and coast for over 10 years. they seen a hush contrast here between glitzy tourism and people pleading from conflict and crisis. it's the most frequent points of 1st arrival for refugees seeking to reach europe. the conflicts that arise from these are an everyday occurrence to the island, 6000 residents. one of them is the artist chuck almost fell out. so in his studio, he exhibits some of the objects. those on the run have left behind the store, it lost video. this is an old car radio that used to be installed in wooden boats and the pedal many long. they were bigger back then. then the bass gave us the lane

. you'll get enough to get on the now the refugees arrive and smaller boats. made of sheet metal are aren't fair, which are much more dangerous. give them stuff. just let it go. was across the island giacomo is known for his creasy colossal toot. tc is lum. produces infrastructure will collapse under the strain space. so not i don't think what it is that it's often impossible to take the ferry to on it because it's already being used to transport migrants a day. and i have an in law live in a hardly any seats available on slide 70 this because they are all occupied by police or the red cross in order to know the language of those when they origin medical care was already per. now it's collapsing on the demand strain on it, on the phone. so and i'd like to say 10 pregnant women arrive at the port on sick people require treatment at the clinic because of course of concern. as we all know goes kind of get an ambulance. i mean, she has no access to the emergency room and taking my godaddy out of the air again

. and so you've got to be unplugged. the issue that happens is the increased presence of police, military and other authorities is also changing the island his way of life. the strictly controlled reception center for refugees, the so called hotspots means a lot more police are on the island. giovanni for i got plenty is the full. i'm a mayor of lum producer from the 85 year olds point of view, the government and run has let he's a little island down. a place ends up on it and load with the i don't blame the migrants for god's sake a load. we have nothing against these people. we want to take them in, but we need support to almost be done and to create the right conditions on the journey deals for got it. is giovanni, come off to me. how are you doing before

he was elected man, giovanni was an art teacher on the island. giacomo is one of his former students. why does it look how beautiful? just last night. another boat with the 200 refugees arrived at port in september 2023. some 12000 migrants move in twice the population, arrived in one unprecedented week. the small island was overwhelmed and declared the strength of emergency the lot. okay. people say that the volunteer rescue ships encourage people to flee, but that's not true. to get those stuff, we should have to thank them for their work. very much. we'd see many more depths without them is one of the with and that's what will happen if they cease to exist . it would be to me like a maloney and the phone, the lion and all the others won't stop migration just by talking about it in the

home then line. and then let me alone. oh yeah. in late 2020 to georgia maloney's cabinet. positive decree making civils the rescue more difficult. it's doubtful whether this policy will ever bring any relief to the people on lum, produce a packet see at the task. the c thumbs discover another boating distress. the group has managed to make some make ship trip is today think he left the please? daisy this the okay. i know a tell me when we're closer than 30 centimeters a day. i would don't want to touch the boat. as all

the water is leaking into the refugees bows. this one is full of accompanied miners and they don't have enough fuel to reach the show. then the crew notices that they think he is losing air again. the, the, it takes the crew 3 hours to get everyone on board safely. imagine you're on a boat that is thinking on the crowd in the middle of the night in the mid thrown

and see. and suddenly there is this both coming and this woman a life giving you kind of orders telling you that you have to work together this crazy, you know, everyone is relieved and exhausted. so she, knowing more people's safe and resting this time, those risk you running for more and persecution in sudan and human the next morning, the coast guard assigned to see punk one, a porch a 17 year old refugee wants to tell his story, for his own protection he'll remain anonymous at optimum. i've heard of it for you . my fled to war and human with my little brother, and i see that you have the cost of 9 countries. i don't live in prison and tortured pretty model. i took my brother away from india and let's see,

i still don't know where he is. that you want me to have. after several attempts, he managed to flee across the mediterranean from tennessee. oh, yes, the hate audio, what's the thing? cuz it's difficult to describe the things i experienced in my country, the gloom, and we all want to forget what happened. i'm now trying to think about my new life . see that how i can build a secure future for myself. i'm new and just across all the refugees of told christina the stories eventually the highest i've, i've met people who have been on the move for years under the most adverse conditions and they've gotten so fond. of course, these are people with immense nice experience and so we real decades behind by comparison, even though most of them were under 18 at the time. last back in lump, reduce, the refugees have reached europe. now they'll have to embark on another alone and we re

journey the asylum process. the authorities register the new arrivals. it's time for the crew to review the 1st ever mission, the se punk, successfully rescued refugees in distress with their own ship. it has been nothing fires, but i'm so relieved to see that we've reached the point we've been working towards for almost 4 years that i saw this. the also been a way we can act as a catalyst for others and think the same way and say, yes, screw borders on foot. borders are just an abstract construct, thought up by people living on this earth, and mostly exploited by those living and privilege of tools. and often, even if we only make a small change, at least we're trying to be visible and show others there. are people actually doing something about it? it depends on what you are. welcome to join in or you can just carry on talking about it. none of us are alone in our dissatisfaction with the situation, but he switched it even of 2 years and thousands of deaths in the mediterranean.

europe has not found an answer without civilians. the rescue is even more refugees would be tragically drowning unless they run from the violence that drove them from their homes in the 1st place. the com have a page this out to the highlights you every week in your inbox. subscribe now. do big ultima video companies play a role in the destruction of the rain forest? i have time to raise all over brazilian. we process $30000.00 hides a day and 90 percent of that is one of the forward market. the auto industry, for example, this will actually cost awesome comes from inigo capital times in the m as in. yet
