in that meeting was on the sidelines of a summit in malta. there african and european leaders agreed to plan to deal with those trying to get from one continent to the other. the u.n. believes about a million refugees and economic migrants will arrive in europe by sea this year. so far more than 142,000 have taken this route from south to north, making the dangerous crossing from the north of africa to italy in particular through malta. at the summit a $2 billion european fund was announced to tackle poverty and the conflicts that cause people to want to leave africa. there are african leaders however who say the money isn't enough. >> welcome to the signing ceremony -- >> reporter: so this is europe's offer to africa, $2 billion in cash. about a tenth of what they provide in aid every year. in return they expect africa to help repatriate the migrants. even hungary's prime minister signed it even with something of a smirk, but he had already made clear what many europeans think, africans should be made to stay out of europe. >> migration is n

sarah: so many issues to be tackled as this summit continues in malta. thank you very much. we really appreciate you joining us tonight. gunter: thank you. sarah: we turn to some other issues, with the bundeswehr celebrating their anniversary, with more than 2000 guests coming to watch outside the parliament building in berlin, and they took on a current issue, the migration crisis. they said that european countries would only be able to master the crisis if they showed solidarity and shared the burden of settling refugees. others praise the military for their service to the parliamentary democracy, and our political correspondent, simon young, was at this. here is what he said. simon: it was set out that the history of the bundeswehr since its founding just 10 years after the second world war at a time when many germans were against re-militarization, and she said that since then, the german armed forces have become a central part of german society, and that continues today, even after the end of compulsory mandatory service. she said this is an expression of germany's comm

lawrence lee joins us from the capital of malta. what is the e.u. trying to get agreements on at this meeting? >> ostensibly you could say they're trying to present it as a way of turning a crise into an opportunity. that's the way it's being spun, the crisis being the numbers of people who have died in the mediterranean from the african crossing. remember, this meeting was called after 800 died in april in a single incident near lampedusa, the opportunity of making average can he be countries more livable, providing opportunities for the poorest and not making the crossing in the first place. knew that 2 billion euros is planned in aid and development money and these sorts of things. that's in some ways, the very optimistic way of looking at it. the fact that this summit is being head ape fortress gives you an idea that underneath all that, there is talking about increasing border security inside internal borders inside africa to stop people getting to the sea in the first place. the details are much less specific, a lot of talk about the eu border

in malta, we partner with the armed forces of malta. their search-and-rescue training center. it prides itself on bringing neighboring countries in for, say, a one-month rescue coordinating class. i have taught in this school. we've had algerian and tunisian officers in class for a month. they are learning how to properly execute search and rescue operations. that is half of it. the other half is socialization outside of the classroom. getting to know your neighbors. because the international maritime organization, the search-and-rescue system encourages collaborative agreements with neighboring countries so it will lead to a more effective and timely search-and-rescue response. i would say continuing to do the things we do well -- search and rescue, maritime law enforcement at sea -- and working with north african and southern european partners. better stuff noise something actionable and something. ms. newland: that is one of the picture.ots in this that cooperation has brought down the death rates and saved hundreds of thousands of people. i am trying to think how to be bri

. >> european and african leaders have gathered in malta to discuss the refugee crisis. the e.u. has sent up a $1.9 billion fund to help african nations deal with some of the causes of migration, namely poverty slovenia has started raising a razor wire fence on its board with croatia. all this while more people die at sea. 14 refugees drowned off the turkish coast, and two boats are thought to have left libya. we have this report from the maltese capital. >> if you want to have a summit meeting aimed to prevent migration, the dozens of european and african leaders arrive with agendas which did not really appear to match. europeans are trying to paint the migration crisis as an opportunity to make africa a bit richer and a bit better run with a trust fund of $2 billion to spread around. >> it's not only about money. i want to make it clear. this is about building opportunities for people, protecting people's lives. finding people who exploit people's desperation. >> they want to help people in europe to send money back, best ways to manage migration. >> europe and africa are partn

the malta p.m. says that things in his view hadn't been quite as confrontational as he expected, which is hardly positive. in a short time this morning there will be a skip where they will have the trust fund for over two billion dollars. it's really only a sweetener of money in return for african helping with this repatriation program. there are things that they will say and talk about that they will achieve. they want to make it easier for those in europe to send money back. that's a banking question. i'm sure there are things that they can organise in seasonal labor and helping students in europe. on the really big issue, which is getting africa to help drag people back, potentially against their will, at the moment they can't get an agreement. i think if at the end of this, at lunchtime today, if they still can't get an agreement, you would have to say in the immediate, the summit won't work from europe's point of view >>> why do you think african nations are resistant to some of europe's ideas?

let's go to malta. laurence lee live in the capital for us. lawrence what is europe trying to get out of this meeting there? >> well, i think, felicity. what they're trying to do with this historic summit is to try to turn a crisis into an opportunity. a crisis is partly humanitarian, so many people dying in the sea. but for europe it's a crisis for itself. the european union says it can't manage the numbers and there are so many divisions in the bloc how to manage the refugees that it is threatening to tear european union apart. they're providing, as a starting point, $2 billion worth of development to give a kick start to some african economies. after that they're saying to african leaders, look, you need to help us stop people from coming through by better policing your own borders . >> so the boor dozens of african leaders arrived with agenda which did not appear to match. the european are trying to paint the migration crisis as an opportunity to make africa a bit richer and a bit better run with a trust fund of more than $2 billion to spr

this came at an eu-africa emergency summit on malta. it gathered around 50 leaders from the two continents in the latest strategy from the eu to turn what has been the biggest flow of migrants since world war ii. more countriesde in africa to take more migrants away and to stop smuggling them in. many children have drowned in their desperate attempt to reach greece. they died when their migrant boat sank off the coast of greece. slovenia has started erecting a barbed wire fence on its border with croatia. soldiers began unwinding the wire early this morning, stretching it the slovenian side of the river that divided two countries. slovenia's prime minister says his country expect about 30,000 great to reach the borders of the tiny nation of just 2 million. next to a farming visit -- , aming village in rural mali village that is getting older and older because many people -- young people are joining the african migrants in europe. this young village is losing its young men in search of work, money, and a better life. they are joining the

, just a few minutes ago, our senior european correspondent summed up the day's developments at the malta summit, stressing that action will speak a lot louder than action plans. reporter: the eu's short-term problem is on the southeastern border. of course, the migrants coming through syria, then turkey, taking the western balkans route into the european union. what the european union is trying to do against it is an action plan with turkey. that one is not finalized yet, but it contains more money and closer cooperation. that's what they are trying to do here. but if you look at the scale of the problem and compare it to africa, it almost seems tiny. because africa, of course, is a huge continent with huge problems, millions of people on the move, dreaming of the field -- of a better future. what's the answer here? another action plan, closer cooperation, more money. but if this is really supposed to work, the eu will need more than action plans. they will need actions. sarah: and while europe focuses on its migration crisis, many countries around the world are grappling with similar pr

on to malta where european and african leaders are holding talks on the refugee cries. they're trying to stop the stem of flow to the continent. lawrence lee, how are things working out so far? >> reporter: well, from the european perspective, not i think as well as they might have hoped. clearly the europeans need to go away from this summit to be able to say something to their own populations about trying to sort the problem out, the burden, as they would see it. there's so much disquiet in europe about inability to manage the numbers, even sweden is closing its borders as well from this morning. it is an enormous problem for europe and they will no doubt talk up that's successes within half an hour or so from now they're going to sign this trust fund, nearly two billion euros which they want to offer to africa in return for the help to repatriate thousands and thousands of illegal migrants. they will be saying to help sending money back more successfully. that's very important to african economies. maybe helping students from africa learn in europe. these little thin

you lawrence lee reporting from valletta in malta. mohammed jamjoom reports from lesbos on the uncertain future facing many of those that succeed in making the crossing to europe. >> reporter: these days it seems like they have both all the time in the world, and no time to spare. with souls as tattered as their clothes are frayed they wait on a seemingly endless bureaucracy to decide will they be called migrants or are they considered refugees. at this camp, where the wait stretches out for days to be registered, the four moroccan many say the designations are practically meaningless. >> translation: i have brothers and sisters. i'm the oldest in the family. i came to serve them. i left so i can get them out, making their lives better. >> reporter: afraid their relatives in morocco will face reprisals if they are identified, the men, in their 20s, all college educated, asked to be anonymous. >> translation: i have a diploma as a technician, i was not made enough money to take care of my wife and child. it was impossible to live on th

. >> and for african and the european leaders over in malta what do they do next? >> reporter: well, on one level there's a push for some bilateral agreements. but the other thing i want to mention briefly there has been an informal me meet -- [ inaudible ] hundreds of millions being pumped into turkey to stop refugees from crossing into greece, and in return europe got giving these workers visas to work inside of europe. [ inaudible ] the turkish migrant workers coming to europe and syrian and iraqis fleeing war and persecution. >> all right. thank you for that. >>> kurdish forces in iraq have launched an offensive to retake the province of sinjar. if they succeed [ inaudible ] and mosul in iraq.

they have been meeting in malta. what is this money exactly supposed to buy for the europeans? >> reporter: well, it's a sweetener, to be honest. that's not my opinion. that's what a senior european official described it to me last neat night as being. it is basically trying to get over the migration crisis is to appeal to african countries and say, look, if we give you this as an additional amount of money for economic development, then in return we expect you, they say this is legally binding, to help remove african economic migrants from the continent and help repat tree eight them into africa. they're wanting to send money back home and more managed migration, but this trust fund was always going to be the center piece from the european perspective of their offer, if you like, to africa and so it was signed one-by-one by european leaders in malta a short time ago. just before that when they arrived, you had the most polarised opinions you could see from some of the african leaders and some of the european leaders on what exactly europe demands and what africa really wants i

african leaders are also attending a summit taking place in malta. slovenia, meanwhile has begun building a fence at its border with croatia to control the influx of people. until now the e.u. has failed to agree on just how to deal with the ongoing crisis. more on that meeting in a moment, but first to slovenia. >> reporter: early in the morning, the army started erecting the fence in at least two locations. one of the locations this place. the refugees crossed the ice cold water here last month to get to slovenia. they still call this a technical barrier. slovenia wants to close off the green border will keep accepting refugees through the main border. they say they are worried about some 20 to 30,000 refugees coming to slovenia in the next weeks. but it hasn't happened yet. >> lawrence lee joining us from the capitol of malta to find out what the e.u. is trying to getting a agreement on at the summ summit. >> reporter: yes, dozens and dozens of national leaders are all meeting in the same place at the same time, and from the european union's point

someone like malta on the front lines. and proportionally speaking, when you look at the population, one mige grant landing in malta is the equivalent of 750 landing in south florida. so when a boat, a small rubber raft that's grossly overloaded manifestly unsave with say 100 migrants and it's only an 18 or 20 foot dingy lands in malta that's an equivelant of 750,000 landing in the u.s. so you have concerns. how are we going to accommodate these folks to take a look, make sure they're ok medically. that they're -- that they have food, water, shelter. and that can strap some of these countries very quickly. and then depending on the migrants and if they stay in that country you can see there's a chance to change sole of the culture and fabric of that country. i speak to malta because i was posted at the coast guard adviser at our em bassy there. the lso i would also say migrants -- it's a humanitarian crisis and the european partners and north africans many of them are doing the best they can. but there's also a law nforcem

last week there was a big summit in malta which was all the european heads of state, african heads of state and turkey but the most important element was a meeting between european leaders and erdogan of turkey. soon will be an agreement. eminently there there be an agreement to stem the flow whereby turkey will give you easy access to europe. they'll be given money and will resume activity. the idea is immediately to stem that flow. if it's authenticated that this individual went through letos, that changes the entire dry nam mick. it's no longer about a humanitarian issue. >> a lot of commentators have said this is different from "charlie hebdo." this is europe's 9/11. what do you think? >> 9/11. the sickle largest attack in france since the second world war. an attack on one smem an attack on all. that's exactly what was done in 9/11 in the united states and that began the whole operation in afghanistan, but i think right now all the euro penal nations who can participate and contribute to an anti-isis coalition are already doing so and present. the whole thing is to bring it up to

too, takei would say, a look at what that means to smaller countries, someone like malta on the front lines. whenrtionally speaking, you look at the populations, one migrant landing in malta is the equivalent of 750 landing in south florida. when a boat, a smaller rubber raft that is grossly overloaded with 100 migrants, and it's only , that's thet dinghy equivalent of 75,000 migrants landing in the u.s. you have concerns. how are we going to accommodate these folks, make sure they are ok medically, that they have food, water, shelter? that can strap some of these countries quickly. depending on the migrants and if they stay in that country, you can see there's a chance to change some of the culture and fabric of the country. i speak to malta, because i was posted as the coast guard advisor at our embassy there, thealso, i would say migrants, it's a humanitarian crisis, and the european partners and north africans, many of them are doing the best they can to respond. there's also a law enforcement aspect. there's the transnational organized criminal networks that are enabling and are
