welcome back. welcome back. italy's interior ministry says nearly 7,000 migrants who've crossed from north africa have arrived on the island of lampedusa in just two days. that's more than the island's local population. the mayor of lampedusa has called for immediate assistance from the italian government and the eu. the european commission says it stands ready to help. but i am not sure that is the position of italy's closest neighours. the italian minister matteo salvini has accused france and germany of leaving his country to face the problem alone. in the last hour we spoke to luca barana, a research fellow at iai, an italian relations think tank — his research focussing on eu and italian migration policies. the situation that we are witnessing over the last 12 months has been an intensification of already existing trends that started in 2020. numbers in spontaneous arrivals

in italy and irregular crossings of the central mediterranean sea have been increasing since 2020. but it's true that over the last 12 months the situation has worsened from this perspective and also it has changed in terms of the composition of the flow. now we have more people from sub—saharan african countries trying to reach in...to reach italy and they are departing from tunisia. paradoxically, tunisian citizens are not the first group represented in the flow towards italy any more, as it has been between 2018 and 20... and last year actually. and probably one of the main causes, the internal situation in tunisia, where policies introduced by the government, the discriminating sub—saharan migrants presence or transiting through to the country have been pushing many, many, many people out of the country and towards the italian shores. europe has tried and failed for many years... excuse me. ..to find a collective response to this.

i've sat in on so many summits in brussels when these things have been discussed, but right now it seems to me there is no appetite in europe to help italy politically. what are the risks of that if italy is left to deal with this alone? actually, it's kind of paradoxical that we are having this kind of discussion, because just two months ago or three months ago, the european union was witnessing what was defined as a historic agreement in the council to...to review and to reform the internal asylum system. but we know that this kind of agreement is still on paper. so, yeah, politically i think there will be consequences. but at the same time, i don't see we are going towards a rupture in relations between italy and the european union because prime minister meloni has portrayed herself over the last year since she took office as a cooperative

and reliable partner for the european union. the commission is actually aligned with her. the italian prime ministerjust said in the last hour that the situation is intolerable and unsustainable. there is resentment and hostility towards migrants and refugees in many countries. and there is panic, even in a city like new york that has been welcoming migrants for centuries. have a listen to the democratic mayor eric adams talking to one of his committees earlier this week. this issue will destroy new york city. destroy new york city. we are getting 10,000 migrants a month. now we're getting people from all over the globe who made their minds up they are going to come through the southern part of the border and come to new york city. it surprising to listen to that language because that is from the

left. but there is growing concern from cities all around the world who are taking on migrants that the numbers are so big that theyjust can't deal with it, they don't have the resources. but more importantly, they don't have the processes to properly assess the asylum claims that many of these people are making. that many of these people are makinu. . �* , that many of these people are makin-. . �*, , ., making. that's right, christian. the -rocesses making. that's right, christian. the processes of _ making. that's right, christian. the processes of the _ making. that's right, christian. the processes of the most _ making. that's right, christian. the processes of the most important i processes of the most important thing here. part of what you are seeing here is everyone in the united states being so frustrated by the fact that you cannot get republicans and democrats together to have a rational immigration debate. what is happening in new york is that governors and others from the border states especially texas and florida, who are frustrated with so many migrants, many of them travelled through and promised a better future only to find something different are talking to other cities saying, hey, you

should share the burden but there isn't a lot of coordination. i feel both for the people coming and trying to build a better life and i feel for the people who are overwhelmed trying to provide services for these people and trying to figure out a system in the us. put this into context, there were 15,000 people it last year in shelters in new york there are now 60,000. there is existing law, federal law which would enable them to give these people work visas but they haven't started issuing work visas because they don't have a hold on who is there and how these people are, where they are from and what their entitlement is. that are, where they are from and what their entitlement is.— their entitlement is. that is absolutely _ their entitlement is. that is absolutely right. _ their entitlement is. that is absolutely right. one - their entitlement is. that is absolutely right. one of- their entitlement is. that isi absolutely right. one of the their entitlement is. that is - absolutely right. one of the things that you new york is trying to do is sing, we are going to allow these people to work because they are stuck in this catch 22, they can't go anywhere, they have shelter, they are sleeping half housed and they can't work to help themselves. let me zoom out and put this all in context. when you look at 108

million people around the world who are displaced right now, most of them aren't coming to europe and the united states, 60 million of those are internally displaced are many more, millions, 3.5 million in turkey. millions are injordan. even though the europeans and americans are struggling with an influx of migrants, the vast majority of these people are actually going low income countries where it is even much harder to provide them with homes and assistance.— and assistance. panic in new york, anic in and assistance. panic in new york, panic in italy _ and assistance. panic in new york, panic in italy because _ and assistance. panic in new york, panic in italy because their - and assistance. panic in new york, panic in italy because their shelter| panic in italy because their shelter is already full. what do you do with 7000 migrants who arrived in two days? once you bring them to the mainland. ,, , , ., ., , days? once you bring them to the mainland. ,, , , . ., , ., mainland. simply a dreadful set of circumstances. _ mainland. simply a dreadful set of circumstances. coming _ mainland. simply a dreadful set of circumstances. coming from - mainland. simply a dreadful set of - circumstances. coming from lampedusa is not _ circumstances. coming from lampedusa is not a _ circumstances. coming from lampedusa is not a good _ circumstances. coming from lampedusa is not a good one. italy was expecting eu support and they believe — expecting eu support and they believe they were getting it. germany responded saying that, no,

stay with the story broadly speaking. the census is out in scotland. and while the population has risen to a record high — passing five point four million — it's growth rate, atjust 0.7%, is the lowest in the uk, and the majority of that was driven by inward migration. some experts says brexit has made it harder to attract european migrants to scotland. and here's why it is important. the percentage of the population that is over the age of 65 has risen by 22.5% since the last 2011 census. there are now more than one million people aged 65 and over, accounting for a fifth of the overall population. in contrast the 1971 census showed there were twice as many people under 15 than those over 65. and that reverse puts financial pressures on any government because the tax take is that much smaller. just one other point the 2022 census failed to reach

a 90% completion rate, england and wales had a 97% response rate, experts say this is partly due to less publicity and awareness. but all in all, brian, quite the challenge for the snp government. we were talking about immigration and this is why immigration is so important right now. you mention that oint important right now. you mention that point about _ important right now. you mention that point about the _ important right now. you mention that point about the over- important right now. you mention that point about the over 65 - important right now. you mention that point about the over 65 is - important right now. you mention that point about the over 65 is an | that point about the over 65 is an under_ that point about the over 65 is an under 15— that point about the over 65 is an under 15 is, — that point about the over 65 is an under 15 is, guess which group i am in. under 15 is, guess which group i am in that _ under 15 is, guess which group i am in that is _ under 15 is, guess which group i am in that is a — under 15 is, guess which group i am in. that is a challenge because you have _ in. that is a challenge because you have the _ in. that is a challenge because you have the challenge of the ageing population, the challenge of people coming _ population, the challenge of people coming up who are entering the labour— coming up who are entering the labour market and having to fund the provision _ labour market and having to fund the provision of _ labour market and having to fund the provision of that ageing population. you have _ provision of that ageing population. you have a — provision of that ageing population. you have a discussion on scotland about _ you have a discussion on scotland about whether there should be a national— about whether there should be a national care service to try and three _ national care service to try and three hospital beds. that is driven by those _ three hospital beds. that is driven by those numbers. you have a discussion— by those numbers. you have a discussion about what sort of taxation— discussion about what sort of taxation is the scottish budget is due to _ taxation is the scottish budget is due to emerge in early december. a hu-e due to emerge in early december. a huge debate going on with the scottish— huge debate going on with the scottish government as to whether you can _ scottish government as to whether you can solve positivity by

bbc news — bringing you different stories from across the uk. a derbyshire village has once again been transformed into a stunning display of creativity. it's the seventh year the duffield scarecrow trail has been organised and this year it's been expanded to hazelwood. so the whole theme is myths, legends and fairy tales. a lot of people said, particularly after covid it was lovely to see people going along the street laughing and joking and talking. and we saw people we hadn't seen for years. as always, people have been getting creative with their scarecrows. ten—year—old jack looked to his family tree for inspiration. my great—grandpa was irish and ijust thought it would be really good and fun to do a leprechaun. people's creativity is mind blowing in some areas. i it's really, really fun. the event promises to be fun for all ages. maps of the trail cost £2 with profits going to a charity nominated by the village. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website.
