to capital times in the amazon. yet the automobile industry doesn't care about the supply chain, profit. all that much. illegal leather stats may said on d w. the a group of volunteers is down from the mediterranean seats rushing to help refugees into stress. how many many babies? many of the risk volunteers have only just learned how to save lives in the last

few days. now they're pushing the fresh training to the test and didn't really care which position they 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, cognizant type. the mediterranean sea is the world's most deadly refugee roots. since 2014 of 829000 people have drowned here on their way to europe. the march 2020, to get some risk and others are traveling to poland. the plan is to buy a vis, to convert it into

a risk you see and use it to risk you refugees from drowning in the mediterranean. we just got a call from the fleet manager and he told us the captain said the weather had gotten a lot worse than 2 years ago without any pro henry experience guessing . and a handful of like minded people found this assigned seat c punk in the past few months. they've raised 200000 euros and donations. just been kind of really worried about whether this will work or not. we've been 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 the ships they 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 definitely next 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. 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 of it. i've seen it in the pictures, but it looks pretty different in real life. so i'm, i'm the, it's amazing. it's the sky, it's huge. 12 beds 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 goals. they have set up with standing idly buying 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 on those plus. but when it happens elsewhere and not directly on your own doorstep, everyone looks the other way. in the end, it's happening on our european doorstep, and if europe and 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, spelled adults 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 of brianna in spain. the 1st commission is just stays away. gas. so is the only c punks member joining the crew software that is that sort of thing. of course we're excited. this is 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 lead as the is over the next few days. all of them will get to know the new tasks. one small group is responsible for see risk you have practicing with life jackets. a new super role is the written communication. she's responsible for coordinating

the operation from an inflatable thinking and making 1st contact with the refugees . it goes world with as every other trainings, it's still ending because it's the 3 people. so let's see if we can discount of our during the strings to pull some of our our crew members a helping them practice holding people on board. it's not easy. the . c

2 nice. a new keys 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 thinking process. these will be her 1st offshore assignments. i worked at the orders, you just need to select for 6 months. so basically as mess direct me the survivors out like this, that's the routes. and i know that once people have drones, there's lots 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 a heads for the search and rescue area between shanicea. additionally,

the, the captain gets the signal to push off observation from range. yet we can start to bring on board the, the stand line. the stand 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 mission. the crew will be at sea for several weeks. it was white and intense and so long on people waving at us and yeah, now it's the reality like react to the going. i feel super heavy about. it comes way to apply everything that they have learned 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 lowell states that people in distress at c must be hills. despite these rescue crews of repeatedly used 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 off to the ship palaces the valley, eric islands, the way that wilson's christina

hilts from slave's big coach dawn, his 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 planned for the crossing or run through some simulations. at the moment we barely able to keep the ship running. we don't fully operational yet. the group designs to drove off the coast of san diego to recover and complete the final exercises the on 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 engine people. that's hardly i deal with the small hospital and just to medical stuff. but it's still better than nothing at all even for the data i spent a month on the to christina is specializing to becoming a niece because she works here on a voluntary basis. she 1st came into contact with refugees 2 years ago in bosnia providing medical kits of people fleeing along the bulk on route one of the fog, a vast miss 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. so at the moment we're pulling them out of the water just because 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 successful 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. for floyd, they've reached the search and rescue zone between shanicea and easily. the crew

has been at sea for 10 days. the 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 pacifically that essentially were like an ambulance travel going 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 frolla in phones, the captain of a boat in distress nearby. uh huh. you got to location. okay. i'll notify 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 decision like, well this is actual people to stay and i so faces and i don't know, i think i had like maybe 3 seconds of it says unreal. and then i put myself in my re communiques or shoes again. how many how many babies? maybe it's a nukes job to establish trust with the refugees. she has to prevent them from panicking and falling into the router. 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. first, 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. the 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. away watches the inflatable thing the against the refugees middle. but i think the thing is deflating more so rushing into the

fader. and especially because it was like the actual 1st rescue that they did in for a 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 tele and coast guard. the speed boat already has all the refugees on board and takes the people to the island of lump the to the some 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 the child life they had a child who is trying to time out of service. i'm trying to pursue so touched brown, a few. 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 contacts the coast guard. so we, there's 2 or 2 phone to turn about 2 bucks. we have 42 people on board to see 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 it 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 guard returns to pick up the remaining people the times i just need one. on the one hand, you can see the people's elation guns 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 off. 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 both the see punk one approach to long producer and italian islands, just off the chimneys in 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 for the island, 6000 residents. one of them is the oddest chuck almost fell out. so in his studio, he exhibits some of the objects. those on the run have left behind the store. it must video. this is an old car radio that used to be installed in wooden boats, and that would allow the other panel many long. they were bigger back then. then the bass gave us than letting you know, get enough to get on the now the refugees arrive and smaller boats made of sheet metal or arn fans, which are much more dangerous. give them stuff if that it goes across the island. giacomo is known, so he's creasy colossal tude. t fee is lum, produces infrastructure will collapse under the strain, a space filling out and support the disaster. and it's often impossible to take the ferry to on it,

because it's already being used to transport migrant se. 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 northern or the language of those when they are just medical care was already per now it's collapsing on the demand strain and so on, it unfolds you on a bike, the if say 10 pregnant women arrive at the port and sick people are required treatment at the clinic going so it gets there. and as we all know goes kind of get an ambulance. i mean, she have no access to the emergency room and taking them out there to get them together, you should unplug this to the problem is the increased presence of police, military and other authorities is also changing the island as way of life. the strictly controlled reception center for refugees. the so called hotspots means a lot more police are on the island. giovanni frog upon it is the full mayor of lum producer. from the 5 year olds

point of view, the government in run has let his little island down a place ends up on it and little thought, i don't blame the migrants for god's sake alone. we have nothing against these people. we want to take them in. but we need support must be done and to create the right conditions on the journey deals for god salon. giovanni, come off me. how are you doing me 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 $200.00 refugees arrived at port. in september 2023. some 12000 migrants. more than twice the population,

arrived in one unprecedented week. the small island was overwhelmed and declared the state of emergency these on a lot of 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. this is one of the place 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 when they let me alone. oh yeah. in late 2020 to georgia maloney's cabinet post a decree making civil c rescue more difficult. it's doubtful whether these policy will ever bring any relief to the people on lum, produce a packet see at the task. the c thumbs describe another voting distress. the group has managed to make some makeshift trip is today. think he

left the please daisy this the hey i know. tell me when we're closer than 30 centimeters a day. we don't want to touch the boat at all. the water is leaking into the refugees. close, 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 crude 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 the throne and see. and suddenly there is this both coming and this woman's 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 these times those rescued running for more and persecution in sudan and humans. the next morning the coast got 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 optimum. that. how do i for you? my fled to war and human with my lovely brother, and i see that i do have a cost 9 countries. i don't live in prison and tortured pretty model. i took my brother away from me in the emerald city. i still don't know where he is. that you want me to have that off to several attempts. he managed to flee across the mediterranean from tennessee. yes, the hate audio was southern could 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, but how it can build a secure future for myself. i'm new and just across 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 a mentor, knife experience. and so we roll decades behind by comparison, even though most of them were under 18 at the time. though long back in long producer, the refugees have reached europe. now they don't have to embark on another alone and we are each any. the asylum process deals doherty's rate just to the new arrivals. it's time for the crew to review the 1st ever mission. the see punk, successfully rescued refugees in distress with their own ship has been often fires, but i'm so relieved to see that we've reached the point we've been working towards for almost 4 years. i saw this the also been a way we can act as

a catalyst for others who 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. and that's what we often do, 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 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 after years and thousands of deaths in the mediterranean, europe has not found an answer without civilians, the rescue was even more refugees would be tragically drowning. must they run from the violence that drove them from their homes in the 1st place? on the pico india. great farming is getting smart when to waters when to
