the cattle farms in the m as in yet the automobile industry doesn't care about the supply chain. process. all that much. illegal leather stats may said on d w. the a group of volunteers is out on the mediterranean seats rushing to help refugees into stress. how many many babies? many of the risky 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 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 saved here matters. cognizant type . the mediterranean sea is the world's most deadly refugee route. 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. their plan is to buy a vis, to convert it into

a risk. you see it and use it to risk you. 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. gibson 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. spend time, i'm 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 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 ex 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 pools in 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 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 that goal. the fed up with standing idly by, as refugees drowned in the mediterranean when it comes to your it's external boat is gas 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 you're a p and states won't do something about it, we'll have to before the sheets itself and it's 1st risk you mention it has to be converted at the garage. so don't 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 mode in the port of brianna in spain. the 1st commission is just days away. gas, so is the only c punks member joining the crew software that is that sort of thing. 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 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 suit. the role is the written communication. she's responsible for

coordinating the operation from an inflatable things and making 1st contact with the refugees. it goes world with as every of the training fillings because it's the 3 people. so let's go to 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 seeking process. these will be closed offshore. assignments i worked at the partners, you just need to look for 6 months. so basically as mess direct me the survivors out like this density roots. 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 heads for the search and rescue area between shanicea.

additionally, the, the captain gives the signal to push off observation from range. yet we can start to bring on board the, the spend line, the spend 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. guess on we'll be documenting the admission. the crew will be at sea for several weeks. it was white and then $0.10 from long island, people waving at us and. yeah, now is 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 sea must be hilts. despite these rescue crews of repeatedly ex 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 slave's big hold stones is training to become a delta cheese responsible for providing medical care. it's a week and injured refugees. but at the moment, christina has to take care of the crew. they haven't off 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 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 for the data. i spend a month on the 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 bosnia 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 brought to 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 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 this vision 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 pulling 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 dingy 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 rescue ship. christina had to resuscitate the child. situation is critical. the,

the children of being looked after on board, the crew returns to pick out more people then something goes wrong. a way watches the inflatable thing, the against the refugees middle, but i think the thing is deflating more so rushing into the tech

visit as the fader. and especially because it was like the actual 1st rescue that they did in 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 tele and coast guard. the speed boat already has all the refugees on board and takes the people to the island of lump it to 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 citizen. 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 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. that 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 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 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 both the see punk one approach to them producer and italian islands, just off the chimneys ian coast for over 10 years. they seen a hush contrast here, between glitzy tourism and people fleeing 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 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 the pedal many long. they were bigger back then. then the bass gave us then lane. you'll 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 still or not. and so what it is that it's often impossible to take the ferry to on it because it's already being used to transport migrant say. 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 are just medical care was already per now it's collapsing on the demand strain and so on and on phone. so in a bind deed, it's a 10 pregnant women arrive at the port on sick people who 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 limits here to get them together. you should unplug peace 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 load it. though 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 dotted is giovanni, come off to me. how are you doing? nice. 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. a state of emergency do go 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 yvonne novia and that's what will happen if they cease to exist. it would be to me like a maloney on 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. 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 produces a packet see at the task. the c tongues discover another voting distress. the group has managed to make some makeshift trip is today thinking

the please. they see that the okay. i know a 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 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 me that there and, and see. and suddenly there is this both coming. and this woman i 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 risk you running for more and persecution in sudan and humans. the next morning the coast got assigned to see punk one,

a pulse 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 i do have the cost of 9 countries. i don't live in prison and tortured pretty much. took my brother away from me and the amorous c. c. i still don't know where he is. that you want me to have off to 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. i've told christina the stories best 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 mense 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 lump, reduce, the refugees have reached europe. now they'll have to embark on another alone and we reach any, 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. 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 that i've been doing that also been a way we can act as

a catalyst for others who think the same way and say yes and screw borders on full 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 who 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 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. thus they run from the violence that drove them from their homes in the 1st place or the using digital twigs to say we've own factory,
