a bit out of them were nice of. them of the club. after days of making discreet inquiries the pending goshi to deal with a people smuggler to take them across the sea. or sudden. assault jamaal ness that they lawful caught it. as the name combat boots they were led always be comforted in us when jimmy gun i wanted out of a sauce. could long. mixing . it live. fully and when. i'm.

in the mic on my second. gun i move the. though the waters were calm that fear wasn't misplaced over three thousand seven hundred refugees were to drown in mediterranean crossings that almost a thousand of them and the eastern sea is through which that pass. this time they were lucky within a few hours that overloaded boat came within sight of chaos a greek island. i would like a few of the knee. but just the last of. the likes.

of plan a few of. us by the early summer of twenty fifteen more than one hundred thousand refugees had arrived by small boats in greece and the government was struggling with the influx of gump. thought.

but after three days in the camp they managed to obtain documents which allowed them to move illegally around greek territory. then what i have is the them i had. the money the balkan route as it was becoming known went from greece through macedonia serbia and hungary eventually leading to austria and germany the most popular target for asylum seekers. by the middle of twenty fifteen the flood of syrian and iraqi refugees into europe meant anti migrant sentiment in some countries was hardening. but germany under chancellor merkel was bucking the trend and its supporters remained. a safe haven back and only providing refugees could reach it.

johnny in the. spirit she. should be. listening to the show me. the day you moved. on to. northern greece some twenty five kilometers from macedonia a small group forge ahead the first hurdle crossing the border. holding in common with as in the end of a little gun a month or. but. if

. they use railway tracks and their g.p.s. phones for a guide to. reaching the border crossing in the dead of night. breaks

revealing the beautiful countryside. in the darkness the group had made it into macedonia. now they set off north again to the serbian border. and then she'd been. how many on a bottle. did you want to. as the refugee crisis escalated that summer politicians in the balkans and the rest of europe was slow to appreciate its sheer scale. tens

of thousands of people when left without cash or assistance left to sleep and hedge rows and open fields. before that only can the few doña konami notion and the mother give out of the convention but the could have. been sure to go for you and me. and then or let me. i had them hope that i thought how one. would sort of. handle. it.

i do think. they get. to get through. thank you so much. better. you know what. right. it's. but after taking a look around the station did or a surprise to find a group of refugees sleeping rough behind the platforms soon it becomes clear why they are there. just because they could happen. in.

duffy the sort of they're even shocked that the family. was there not. something that if you see out there already. it lobbed at our look at our camp. thanks lisa. had accepted. there was a lot of. them
