- At least 60 migrants have died after a rubber dinghy ran into trouble in the Mediterranean Sea, according to survivors.
The 25 survivors were picked up by the Ocean Viking, a vessel operated by the humanitarian group SOS Méditerranée. Those on board said they had set off from Zawiya on the Libyan coast several days before being rescued. The engine of the dinghy broke down after three days, leaving the boat adrift without food or water. The survivors said that the victims included women and at least one child. They are believed to have died from dehydration and hunger, not drowning.
SOS Méditerranée said they had staged a medical evacuation in co-operation with Italian coastguards. It said the survivors were "in a very weak condition" and were under medical care. Two people who were unconscious and in critical condition were flown to Sicily by helicopter for emergency hospital treatment.

Fault of human trafficers and ngos helping them

@@SAVAGEGRIZZLYBEARNGO Please....
Also the fault of bad governments in Europe refusing to block and deport illegal migrants.
If they knew they weren't going to be allowed to stay they wouldn't have set off in the first place. How many more people are they going to lure to their deaths.
French charity as they say its french government
Don't cross
Sad but they are voluntarily making this journey. "Progressive" policies accepting them only encourages this behavior.
Do not pass GO
the path to social benefits is extremely deadly
Our world is a mess and insensitive dumb people help to make it worse. If you are starving you will do anything possible to save your children.
You really want to believe they would risk their lives for a measly benefit rather than working for a decent wage ?
Where's your logic ?
@@dondoodatdoesn't matter.
There's nothing here for them. The country is in a housing crisis. There's nowhere for them to live.
Even people who are here can barely afford rent.
Where are they expecting to go?
@@The.Toaster
It's still an improvement from where they've come from.
Yes, the Tories have let everyone down over housing but that's a minor detail to people who see no future in their own country and the ability to raise a family and work here.
They don't risk their lives and money for no reason.
social leeching
If only they would actually stop human trafficking, instead of supporting and funding it
nothing to do with the UK
We can listen international news, not being in vaccum. Do not behave as islander
That's what you think. They're landing in Italy, but many of them end up in the UK too.
@@user-ds8rj2vc4v the way things are at the moment, it feels like all of them.
The migrant crisis affects all of Europe, including the UK. Solutions will be pan-European even if that puts your knickers in a twist
@Klaus_Nobb you mean usa & french governments intervention
I'm sick of all these European ships that bring all the migrants in Italy.
They're not European, they're Jewish
The Path to universal credit can be extremely dangerous, please stay wherever you come from.
Parth! 😂
How about demanding that NGOs return the rescued to the country they departed from? They are not a ferry service...
No word on anything being done to stop them leaving thier own countries in the 1st place?
Maybe report on that, bbc?
Maybe they could stop bombing them
Nothing to do with the UK ,tough shit.
Ah, what a shame. Trying to break into another country and dying on the way.
Probably some kids on there, though
@@RogerMellie-yk3gw A large percentage of these "kids" are balding, with stubbly chins.
@@RogerMellie-yk3gw The parents should be ashamed of themselves.
@@gazevans1038 I'm sure the would be if they weren't too busy starving
@@RogerMellie-yk3gw They wouldn't have been if they hadn't go on the boat.
It's almost like getting into a random boat to sneak into another country is dangerous
I would understand it if there was war. I'm not an hypocrite,everyone wants to live in better conditions but...I do not care how much you pay me or how awful my situation might be,I wont get into a boat that looks like its about to sink to cross an entire sea and having to face deportation after that. Not worth it. Also mass immigration is starting to be a problem to other countries now (specially crime rates increasing in france/italy/spain)
They know it's dangerous.
But often not as dangerous as staying where they were before.
Wow, who'da thunk it ?..
Wow, you're right
These people should have better stayed in their own country and solve the issues there.
This happens all the time & they still do it.
Do stupid things & you get stupid results.

@@MichaelWillby
Utter nonsense.
@@dondoodathave you seen how much the uk spends on housing illegal immigrants? It's literally millions of pounds per day.
@@andygarside2418
Yes, because the Tories refused to process them so people like you would get angry at the migrants rather than at the government.
Btw, if they are claiming asylum they are not illegal under international law until they have had the claim processed, been asked to leave and refuse to do so.
They are only called illegal by the Tory government that created the problem in the first place.
@@dondoodatPretty sure from the huge amount of travelling I did that turning up into any foreign countries without the correct visa is in fact illegal. You try it. See what happens. And I do feel for these people. But it is what it is. How many have died in the channel crossing from France.
oh no.... what a shame.... ohhhhhh no... no hand outs for them
Probably best not to believe anything the BBC tell you at this point.
True. They are the propaganda-peddling, mendacious gutter press
Why can't people stop them for their own safety.
They should stay in their countries and make them better by working hard
rascist far right hate speech comment

They did do that - Libya was richer than Britain. But the NATO countries didnt like that, so they bombed them and killed Gaddafi, causing a migrant crisis (as Gaddafi predicted)
You're thinking like a white person, though
Well Don't Go To Other Countries That Don't Want You.
Capitalists:
Weird capital letter choice, but I dig it.
Sad situation
Wise man once say wet feet is not worth universal credit
blame the countries these poor souls departed from. Not the countries they are trying to escape to.
Who put Libya in the state it's in today ?
In the eyes of the BBC the UK and it's population are ALWAYS to blame..
@@jjrider6758
BBC is the UK's State Broadcaster, therefore your comment is illogical.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@dondoodat Their regime did. The fact you have that point of view tells me instantly that you don't know anything about these people.
If they all blamed the UK or Europe just as you do, why do they choose to move to the countries they hate? That makes absolutely no sense. You'd go somewhere you felt welcome. You wouldn't move in with the people on the other side of the world who you thought blew you up. Would you?
They don't need to be released into Europe
At the point of finding these people it would have been just as easy to take them back to their own country, now you've made it some other countries problem and infinitely more difficult to deport them.
Why does this even make the news
Sorry for all 😢
😂
What in tbe name of universal credit is going on here
@Nick Beake is the perfect voice to report on this issue....such gracious empathy in his voice while reporting on a highly controversial issue!!
The lord works in mysterious ways.
Responsible are: the NGOs which patrol the mediterrainian sea and factually conduct human trafficing.
NGOs do not engage in human trafficking. What nonsense

Sad
This is tragic I’m amazed at some of the callous comments that I am reading
No one deserve to die in this manner irrespective of where they started out from or were heading to
All life is precious
For people to write such dreadful remarks makes me so sad Where has our compassion gone 😢😢
Historically, there's s clear pattern in all industrialized nations: in periods of high immigration (or asylum or refugees), the national population will tolerate it for a time and then there's s backlash until governments respond.
I agree with you entirely on compassion. But speaking as a historian, objectively ... these responses you are seeing are that part of that backlash.
The only thing that ever seems to put an end to these surges of anti-immigrant sentiment is a severe restriction on migration, decisive enough to hush the far right.
I don't like it ... But that's probably what needs to happen this time. Sigh
Honestly we need to get their economies running again, vegetation and jobs, of the countries the West destroyed like Afghanistan, Syria, Libya etc.. rather than funding wars
But then again the West can’t even sort out their own economies
And the leaders of those countries are purely corrupt so the people won’t even benefit it
Plus, no one will deny free money
@ems4884 You know what would put a stop to anti migrant sentiment? Not voting for a party that serves the rich to the detriment of the rest of the country and if their client media stopped scapegoating migrants.
May their souls rest in peace🌺
We are all accountable for our own actions. If I put my own life in danger I wouldn't expect you to feel sorry for me.
Oh no :( Now who will displace the native populations of Europe 😢
Oh no, now who will the West use as scapegoats for their own problems and try to destroy, displace and colonize :(

BUDDHA
Thus have I heard. On one occasion the Blessed One was living at Vesali in the grove outside the city to the west.
Now on that occasion Sunakkhatta, son of the Licchavis, had recently left this Dhamma and Discipline.[1] He was making this statement before the Vesali assembly: "The recluse Gotama does not have any superhuman states, any distinction in knowledge and vision worthy of the noble ones.[2] The recluse Gotama teaches a Dhamma (merely) hammered out by reasoning, following his own line of inquiry as it occurs to him, and when he teaches the Dhamma to anyone, it leads him when he practices it to the complete destruction of suffering."[3]
Then, when it was morning, the Venerable Sariputta dressed, and taking his bowl and outer robe, went into Vesali for alms. Then he heard Sunakkhatta, son of the Licchavis, making this statement before the Vesali assembly. When he had wandered for alms in Vesali and had returned from his almsround, after his meal he went to the Blessed One, and after paying homage to him, he sat down at one side and told the Blessed One what Sunakkhatta was saying.
The Blessed One said: "Sariputta, the misguided man Sunakkhatta is angry, and his words are spoken out of anger. Thinking to discredit the Tathagata, he actually praises him; [69] for it is a praise of the Tathagata to say of him: 'When he teaches the Dhamma to anyone, it leads him when he practices it to the complete destruction of suffering.'
"Sariputta, this misguided man Sunakkhatta will never infer of me according to Dhamma: 'That Blessed One is accomplished, fully enlightened, perfect in true knowledge and conduct, sublime, knower of worlds, incomparable leader of persons to be tamed, teacher of gods and humans, enlightened, blessed.'[4]
"And he will never infer of me according to Dhamma: 'That Blessed One enjoys the various kinds of supernormal power: having been one, he becomes many; having been many, he becomes one; he appears and vanishes; he goes unhindered through a wall, through an enclosure, through a mountain, as though through space; he dives in and out of the earth as though it were water; he walks on water without sinking as though it were earth; seated cross-legged, he travels in space like a bird; with his hand he touches and strokes the moon and sun so powerful and mighty; he wields bodily mastery even as far as the Brahma-world.'
"And he will never infer of me according to Dhamma: 'With the divine ear element, which is purified and surpasses the human, that Blessed One hears both kinds of sounds, the heavenly and the human, those that are far as well as near.'
"And he will never infer of me according to Dhamma: 'That Blessed One encompasses with his own mind the minds of other beings, other persons. He understands a mind affected by lust as affected by lust and a mind unaffected by lust as unaffected by lust; he understands a mind affected by hate as affected by hate and a mind unaffected by hate as unaffected by hate; he understands a mind affected by delusion as affected by delusion and a mind unaffected by delusion as unaffected by delusion; he understands a contracted mind as contracted and a distracted mind as distracted; he understands an exalted mind as exalted and an unexalted mind as unexalted; he understands a surpassed mind as surpassed and an unsurpassed mind as unsurpassed; he understands a concentrated mind as concentrated and an unconcentrated mind as unconcentrated; he understands a liberated mind as liberated and an unliberated mind as unliberated.'

.... "Sariputta, I recall having lived a holy life possessing four factors. I have practiced asceticism - the extreme of asceticism; I have practiced coarseness - the extreme of coarseness; I have practiced scrupulousness - the extreme of scrupulousness; I have practiced seclusion - the extreme of seclusion.[17]
"Such was my asceticism, Sariputta, that I went naked, rejecting conventions, licking my hands, not coming when asked, not stopping when asked; I did not accept food brought or food specially made or an invitation to a meal; I received nothing from a pot, from a bowl, across a threshold, across a stick, across a pestle, from two eating together, from a pregnant woman, from a woman giving suck, from a woman lying with a man, from where food was advertised to be distributed, from where a dog was waiting, from where flies were buzzing; I accepted no fish or meat, I drank no liquor, wine or fermented brew. I kept to one house, to one morsel; I kept to two [78] houses, to two morsels; I kept to three .. four .. five ..six .. house, to three .. four .. five ..six .. morsel I kept to seven houses, to seven morsels I lived on one saucerful a day, on two saucerfuls a day on three .. four .. five .. six .. seven saucerfuls a day; I took food once a day, once every two days, once every three .. four ..five .. six days once every seven days, and so on up to once every fortnight; I dwelt pursuing the practice of taking food at stated intervals. I was an eater of greens or millet or wild rice or hide-parings or moss or ricebran or rice-scum or sesamum flour or grass or cowdung. I lived on forest roots and fruits, I fed on fallen fruits. I clothed myself in hemp, in hemp-mixed cloth, in shrouds, in refuse rags, in tree bark, in antelope hide, in strips of antelope hide, in kusa-grass fabric, in bark fabric, in wood-shavings fabric, in head-hair wool, in animal wool, in owls' wings. I was one who pulled out hair and beard, pursuing the practice of pulling out hair and beard. I was one who stood continuously, rejecting seats. I was one who squatted continuously, devoted to maintaining the squatting position. I was one who used a mattress of spikes; I made a mattress of spikes my bed. I dwelt pursuing the practice of bathing in water three times daily including the evening. Thus in such a variety of ways I dwelt pursuing the practice of tormenting and mortifying the body. Such was my asceticism.
"Such was my coarseness, Sariputta, that just as the bole of a tinduka tree, accumulating over the years, cakes and flakes off, so too, dust and dirt, accumulating over the years, caked off my body and flaked off. It never occurred to me: 'Oh, let me rub this dust and dirt off with my hand, or let another rub this dust and dirt off with his hand' - it never occurred to me thus. Such was my coarseness.
"Such was my scrupulousness, Sariputta, that I was always mindful in stepping forwards and stepping backwards. I was full of pity even for (the beings in) a drop of water thus: 'Let me not hurt the tiny creatures in the crevices of the ground.' Such was my scrupulousness.
"Such was my seclusion, Sariputta, that [79] I would plunge into some forest and dwell there. And when I saw a cowherd or a shepherd or someone gathering grass or sticks, or a woodsman, I would flee from grove to grove, from thicket to thicket, from hollow to hollow, from hillock to hillock. Why was that? So that they should not see me or I see them. Just as a forest-bred deer, on seeing human beings, flees from grove to grove, from thicket to thicket, from hollow to hollow, from hillock to hillock, so too, when I saw a cowherd or a shepherd or someone gathering grass or sticks, or a woodsman, I would flee from grove to grove, from thicket to thicket, from hollow to hollow, from hillock to hillock. Why was that? So that they should not see me or I see them. Such was my seclusion.
"I would go on all fours to the cow-pens when the cattle had gone out and the cowherd had left them, and I would feed on the dung of the young suckling calves. As long as my own excrement and urine lasted, I fed on my own excrement and urine. Such was my great distortion in feeding.
"I would plunge into some awe-inspiring grove and dwell there - a grove so awe-inspiring that normally it would make a man's hair stand up if he were not free from lust. When those cold wintry nights came during the 'eight-days interval of frost,' I would dwell by night in the open and by day in the grove.[18] In the last month of the hot season I would dwell by day in the open and by night in the grove. And there came to me spontaneously this stanza never heard before:
" Chilled by night and scorched by day, Alone in awe-inspiring groves, Naked, no fire to sit beside, The sage yet pursues his quest. "
"I would make my bed in a charnel ground with the bones of the dead for a pillow. And cowherd boys came up and spat on me, urinated on me, threw dirt at me, and poked sticks into my ears. Yet I do not recall that I ever aroused an evil mind (of hate) against them. Such was my abiding in equanimity. [80]
"Sariputta, there are certain recluses and brahmans whose doctrine and view is this: 'Purification comes about through food.'[19] They say: 'Let us live on kola-fruits,' and they eat kola-fruits, they eat kola-fruit powder, they drink kola-fruit water, and they make many kinds of kola-fruit concoctions. Now I recall having eaten a single kola-fruit a day. Sariputta, you may think that the kola-fruit was bigger at that time, yet you should not regard it so: the kola-fruit was then at most the same size as now. Through feeding on a single kola-fruit a day, my body reached a state of extreme emaciation. Because of eating so little my limbs became like the jointed segments of vine stems or bamboo stems. Because of eating so little my backside became like a camel's hoof. Because of eating so little the projections on my spine stood forth like corded beads. Because of eating so little my ribs jutted out as gaunt as the crazy rafters of an old roofless barn. Because of eating so little the gleam of my eyes sank far down in their sockets, looking like a gleam of water which has sunk far down in a deep well. Because of eating so little my scalp shriveled and withered as a green bitter gourd shrivels and withers in the wind and sun. Because of eating so little my belly skin adhered to my backbone; thus if I touched my belly skin I encountered my backbone, and if I touched my backbone I encountered my belly skin. Because of eating so little, if I tried to ease my body by rubbing my limbs with my hands, the hair, rotted at its roots, fell from my body as I rubbed.

The harsh reality is that if these people don't have the necessary seamanship, supplies and a vessel reliable enough to complete the crossing they shouldn't set off in the first place. common sense would dictate they should have waited until they had these resources in place (especially basic seamanship and navigation) and the outcome here proves this.. Chancing your arm in the hope of getting picked up and taxied to Italy clearly isn't a sensible or safe strategy, no matter what danger you are in or perceive yourself to be in..
I'm sure the UK and Europe can take in billions of people in poverty today...every home should make room to house 1,000 migrants each...'we can do it' as Angela Merkel said. So let them come by the millions every day...we need more and more and more. /sarc
