where are you from how are you tell
these are lesbos his newest arrivals
trapped on the island now behind bars
yeah what's it like in here we want to
go to a place a better place not here
hundreds of migrants from Afghanistan
Syria and the Congo have made it across
the sea since Turkey opened its borders
last week most have been kept in this
holding pen can they leave or are they
detained they can leave no so they are
detained for years this island has been
overcrowded more than 20,000 refugees
now live in a camp there was meant for
far far fewer stuck here while Europe
struggles to agree on what to do with
them
thousands make their way from the camp
to the port desperate to leave these
flare-ups have angered locals and that
anger has turned to violence migrants
and journalists have been attacked an
aid center has been set on fire some aid
workers are now leaving the island the
medical clinics which treat hundreds
every day have been closed
because we have got a lot of problems on
the island you change yours right it
looks like we are dealing in a war zone
and this unpredictable security
situation is something that we never
experienced before recent videos show
the Greek Coast Guard firing at people
trying to cross the sea we show these to
the islands governor they haven't
received such orders to shoot but in the
air not on the people okay so that's the
migrants being hit on the head by the
Coast Guard what do you think about that
I don't like I don't like this behavior
doesn't represent me as Greece scrambles
to secure its borders European leaders
have offered hundreds of millions of
pounds to help we don't want money we
want not to have a problem the point is
not to get money but it's not to have
the problem let's spare their money
let's send the money back a Navy ship
arrives to take the new arrivals to the
mainland but thousands are left behind
on this island that no longer wants them
