He is in trouble, but I think everyone's essentially saying, hey, wait a minute, Italy.
No one came up with anything like this when you had the influx in Lampedusa.
I mean, let's think back, Mike.
2013, 43,000 arrivals came into that Italian island.
2014 170 000 what essentially they're saying is look there does need to be change there does need to be a strong discussion on what we're going to do with this ever-present migrant crisis what they're saying is italy like many other far-right uh parties across europe are using this for political gain they're saying look this is europe under attack
European leaders cannot keep their own people safe.
So that is essentially what they're saying.
Certainly within the next 24 hours, there's going to be that EU meeting of interior ministers.
They are going to be under enormous pressure to come up with some sort of, you know, these return hubs, whereas if people come in, they don't have the right to be able to stay, that they're returned to these hubs much more quickly.
Well, there's about 3,000 to 5,000 left.
They're being processed.
Eventually, they will be sent back.
But at the moment, Europe itself hasn't come up with any good return hub possibility.
But don't forget, Mike, they're all struggling with this thing, which is...
Whole of Europe has got an ageing population, plus they have a labour shortage.
And when you've got that and you've got people from the Sahel and Northern Africa who are young people who don't see any economic prospects in their own country, they're going to try their luck in Europe.
All right.
Essentially, the fires have been brought under control.
The economic fallout, yes, well, 7% of the region's economy is based on tourism.
But, you know, your wines, Mike, no immediate threat to wine quality just yet.
