are increasingly committing crimes and murders an online move. hello. somebody might want them out in any way possible. i mean, i just want them out, tyler moment little did. they took our jobs and disrupted our lives that the lecture look like, how you like to live. i don't those who have a legal status can stay, but those are here. illegally should leave. but attacking them is not acceptable under pressure by independence. economy collapse and the countries politically paralysis utilities are echoing the sentiments definitely gotten the political edge, the security closest and the police to family, and strictly implemented lebanese low on the syrian refugees depend on host the great this number of properties per capita of any country into what more than $2000000.00 students in lebanon form 45 percent of the population? this would be equivalence of nearly $38000000.00 refugees in germany. and some 163000000 refugees in the united states of america. the sort of numbers are very
2:05 pm
significant in the context of depend on security and power. shedding months of the vast majority of the refugees are sunni muslims. that has been fueling fears of a huge demographic in balance in the country with christians and muslims. chair power, equally in new jersey and of political unity. why the political parties are calling for the quotation of syrian refugees pushing many of them towards choices that is making udall very nervous. a lot of had that a long icons stay here against the wind locally beneath my water sewer down when i don't know what to do. but honestly the thing is, i'm not that that i hate going. i may try to leave for another country or yeah, i'm on no bucks a month. i know i have no other choice, but has it go through in the go to migrant focus on the with on word migration for you to roots out of reach the dangerous c journeys to you will only increase
2:06 pm
in joining us now is the author of that report they revere a chief mohammad. sure, i'd say, and the w's terry shows. he joins us from brussels. mohammed tell us why the you is making this announcement now. i mean, we know that syrians have been taking refuge in lebanon for a long time slides, simply because cypress is under pressure, and is pressuring the you in the time. so to understand how serious is the influx of refugees is affecting the cypress, we have to look into these numbers presented by the interior ministry in in cyprus . that suggests that more than 2000 people that arrived in cyprus by boat, between january and april of this year, compared to only 78 people arrived to cyprus in the same period of time last year. that is nearly 30 times more to effigy that effigies in it in the year. and
2:07 pm
that's why cyprus is ringing the bell and putting the, putting some pressure on the e u 2 ton. and now i to live in and help live in and manage the longstanding refugee problem. i understand terry, if i can talk to you, can you tell us about how this bill in your age packaged is practically going to help lab and on as well. that's how the european union wants to portray it. anya, as helping levon on with 1000000000 euros, which is entirely in grants. so that is of course, some good news for b route and it will be helping leaven on they say in terms of helping improve the education sector, health care, they're going to help with reforming the financial and banking sector. they'll be new training and equipment for levins armed forces, but in fact, some 3 quarters of this money is actually going to go towards helping the refugee crisis inside lebanon. and for the european union,
2:08 pm
that means tightening the borders and increasing cooperation with front x. the use border control agency because within the use interest is keeping those people 11 on and not allowing or of them to leave attempting to get to the european union. so while this package may be a per trait as being $411.00 on, it's also very much for the european union. okay. know how to talk to us about this suggestion that the presence of so many syrians is actually burdening the economy? is that a fact? as it is, i mean if we look at the, the numbers, the city and communities are 4 and 45 percent of the population and i'll flip it on today. this is quite a burden on dependence economy and infrastructure. for example, a recent count by the minister of interior and independent shows that more than 35 percent of prisoners in devon, on our cdns and prisons are already over crowded and present. those are that facing
2:09 pm
unbearable conditions that are already in other aspect. on another aspect, cdns are a on the page, and therefore they are much more of a higher than given ease because it's, it's cheaper and this is leaving the bodies with much less jobs. this has been creating a rage and, and, and, and from hosting communities as well. but all of this is really only the tip of the iceberg in independence, that fading state, the inability of the ruling elite to deal with many layers of problems and on all aspects like economic, financial, political, social, the list goes on. so keep going. cdns has been a lot be used by the been east. politicians are frequently blame the, the business crises on, on the syrian refugees. more than 1500000, a city and references. and this rhetoric has been further fueling into communion tensions i see. and terry be the eu has of cool struck deals with other countries
2:10 pm
hasn't met key egypt to help manage the refugee crisis in time. this aid package to lebanon really help control the numbers of refugees who are trying to get into the the as well. that's clearly what a leaders are counting on, and they have seen some success with this model. as you mentioned in turkey, where increasing border protections and improving the situation in the camp, expanding the cans inside turkey meant more people were kept there rather than getting in boats and trying to make it to the european union. but as mohammed explained, this has to be made attractive to the lebanese government as well. and that's why this money and, and did these uh, this assistance in lebanon's own, socio economic conditions is so important. but again, let's be honest, the european union needs to show that it's doing something on migration ahead of
2:11 pm
european elections, which are coming up in just a few weeks with migration to be one of the top uh top issues there that voters are going to be deciding on and you can't ignore the fact that the is really her mos war is creating even more refugees. and some of those have ended up 11 already. and that's something the european union is worried about. so this package is something that you leaders very much hope will stops, will stem the tide. human rights activists are not so thrilled with these conditions, but we'll just have to see how this works out with lebanon. i'm sorry, schultz and mohammed tried to giving us an update that now protests hastening off at universities across the united states, closing more confrontations with authorities. these are life pictures from the university of california los angeles, where police have been moving in to dismantled barricades following flashes between protest is and town to protest is the violence of this university broke house on

wednesday off for a group of people, some of whom were carrying is really flags attacks, a pro palestinian protest. come what people, what taking a stand against israel's actions in gaza are now flooding has devastated parts of southern russia and catholic stone and recent weeks and tens of thousands of people have been displaced. but as water levels full scientists say a different crisis may be surfacing and it could be toxic. the flood waters are receding. like while it wasn't crying. so is it being people here might still be in deep water. russian independent media and environmental. this say o uranium mines have been flooded, leaking radioactive material. alexa schwartz is a fist assess technologist, i know position activist while he 1st reported on the issue years ago. i mean, it was in my of radio new fine,
2:13 pm
some enter the total river and we'll see the about was all uranium has entered the river to to be when the alpha particles to k by the and get on the skin or inside the body. then they cause cancer and he's month old use be right. what about the total river is the water supply for cool guy, i'm going to school and human and many other city is nearby. who me that the know you're going to the visit a get that will russian nuclear energy authorities at russet tom called the reports deliberate to miss information. on april 23rd states media published the response that quoted saying the facilities uranium deposits are located at high a ground and away from the water. the floods has not affected them. there was no threat of flooding and the situation is being monitored. but active is say that's only half the truth, each studies crush them. it's a problem in mind that are leaking our old minds. they are uranium tests binds from
2:14 pm
the 19 eighties and it's within that same deposit. and we just put these minds were drilled in the eighty's and we spent a few years ago rose that tom started drilling nearby. and those mines are at higher ground. do you think that's true to die? the provident got to be somebody's to card and we walked through the old mines on a dry day and there was water drip bank where your water is radioactive. definitely what i'm used to rows that told lying they lied about your noble when you and they're still lying about uranium mining items. you give it out of your mobile world. this is just for that we showed on the scientist fair a large number of people will be exposed to radiation and it could make them ill. for now, the region is baffling, the direct consequences of the flooding, but soon they might have to deal with what's below the surface is a quick reminder for you of our top story today. the european commission president will slough on the line has announced a 1000000000 euro e u, a package for 11 on, excuse me, and in bay route to discuss the syrian refugee crisis with the lebanese prime
