Yesterday evening 56 people were rescued in international waters, and 102 others on a boat in difficulty in front of the Libyan coast this morning. "On board the Open Arms there are now 158 shipwrecked rescued from a probable death - the NGO wrote on Twitter - we are the only humanitarian ship in the area and almost 500 people expect a safe harbor". The reference is to migrants rescued in recent days and now on board the other two humanitarian ships, Ocean Viking and Alan Kurdi.

"In Taranto 400 migrants will land on board an NGO ship. With the problems of work, pollution, agriculture, the only way this government has to remember Puglia is to land thousands of migrants. And it took them 4 days to grant a safe haven, and then I will report the kidnapping of the Prime Minister Conte and the Minister of the Interior of Lamorgese. Is it kidnapping only when I'm involved? So I'll see you in court ". The leader of the League Matteo Salvini says it live.
