Reporter at the edge of europe, each new day offers the hope of a new beginning for people fleeing conflict and chasing opportunity.

The dream of the german home is now for many a reality. For more on the global migrant crisis, i spoke earlier today but miliband cash to david miliband, the president and ceo i spoke earlier to david miliband, the president and ceo of International Rescue committee. The underlying conflict causing this heartbreaking tragedy has been going on for years but why is europe so apparently unprepared . David i think there are couple of reasons for the tragedy and chaos you are seeing at the moment. The first is that the eyes of europe and the policymakers have been on the greek euro crisis and on the struggle with russia over ukraine over the last two years. And so they have got a political priority rather than this refugee crisis. The second point is that we are seeing a very strong outbreak of what you can only call beggar your neighbor politics in europe. The attempt by many European Countries with a few horrible exceptions like germany to expect italy and greece, the main recipient honorable exceptions like germany, to expect italy and greece, the main recipient, to do this on their own. European solidarity has broken down. Whatis why we are seeing we are seeing today. Jane what about britain . David the figures for the u. K. Are very low indeed. If you take the syria crisis, less than 1 of those arriving at been taken into the u. K. And the refugee procuration that is reach europe is only 5 of the over 4 million refugees that have arrived that have been expelled from syria as a result of that terrible and bloody conflict over the last five years. I think that makes the point that the only solution to this is to deal with the flow as well as the stop. To do upstream with the political and humanitarian emergency in syria and the surrounding countries with proper humanitarian provisions. As well as dealing in europe and on its shores with proper, fair burden sharing among the nations of the European Union, which after all, is the richest, largest Single Market in the world. Be muchesnt seem to coordination, though. Who should be taking the lead here . Jobd it is obviously the of the European Union to take the lead. The European Commission is the with developing the policies for the European Union. The United Nations High Commission on refugees has said that it needs to find 160,000 from the refugees syria crisis across the industrialized world. You can immediately see that the numbers are manageable if you think about 30 or 35 countries in that group. I think the critical point is one there are not the legal routes for refugees to find safety, then you empower the criminal gangs. The absence of a legal route has been a huge driver of the criminality we are seeing and the responsibility for addressing that within europe lies with the European Union. Upstream in the neighboring states of somalia, the neighboring states of syria, the neighboring states of afghanistan, it obviously falls to the United Nations to be the coordinator rather than the European Union. Jane turkey and jordan would probably argue that they and bearing the front of this for some time could what help should they be getting . David you are absolutely right that it is poorer countries, the neighbors of those who consumed by war, that are the biggest burden. The concern that we at the International Rescue committee have is that 85 of the refugees are in poorer countries rather than rich countries. For a country like jordan, which, as you say has taken sick thousand, 700,000 refugees from the conflict, what they need is systematic, longterm help with the health, education, water, and infrastructure that is bearing an immense burden as a result of the syria conflict. That was david miliband, president and ceo of the International Rescue committee. Former u. S. President george w. Bush was in new orleans today to mark 10 years since Hurricane Katrina battered the city. Mr. Bush was in the white house at the time and was heavily criticized for his and ministrations handling of the crisis. Today he was back in town putting the focus on the future in stead of the past. Nick bryant has more on new orleans 10 years later. New orleans has never needed much excuse for a party, and on the streets of its famous french quarter, signs and return to the head in his dictate a great this anniversary is part head and hedonistic heyday. This anniversary is parts elevation because many people thought they were witnessing the death of the big easy. Much of it was a mass grave, a dystopian hellhole is the first world city became the scene of third world suffering. Residents were desperate for help but it took too long to arrive. We need help. We need somebody to come into this city and help us. Nick former president blamed for the federal governments botched response today touchdown on a high school in new orleans. For george w. Bush, no apologies, but i justz00 a jazzy little jig and a nod to the citys resilience. The levies gave out but the people never gave up. This was the aptly named flood street 10 years ago, and this is it today, and mr. Renovation and ruin. In the lower ninth ward, only one third of residents have returned. This looks like the disaster happened yesterday. , the Community Leaders black Community Leaders complain, the black opposition especially is being ignored. Our city leaders dont give a damn about us. We have to bring economic of ourselves because they are not bringing it. This is ridiculous. Enough is enough. Nick but there are other streets that look like they belong in the ideal homes exhibition. I got the flag at the funeral nick one proud occupant is robert green, was added deeply personal touches, trying to his granddaughter who died in the flight. We can talk about the death of my mother and granddaughter and talk about the death of this neighborhood but we need to talk about rebirth. You hear the sound of another house being built. Around the corner there is another house being built. Corner, similar houses being built. Good things happening. Nick parts of new orleans look like a katrina hit 10 months ago rather than 10 years. Although the city has made a strong recovery, it is far from complete. It has now built a supersize surge barrier, the great wall of new orleans, that is better able to cope with another hurricane. But people like to feel the winds of more economic and racial change. Nick bryant, bbc news, new orleans. Jane you are watching bbc world news america.

We have been reporting on the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, and the scenes of disaster that will probably live with us for many more years. This photojournalist captured some of the most Iconic Images of the aftermath of the storm, and a decade later, he has returned to the city to find out what has changed. Gary odonoghue sat down with him to talk about recovery and resilience. We had some mattresses placed windows of our hotel room, and we would go out and try to watch from the parking garage to gauge how strong the storm was, and try to determine when we could get the vehicles to get out and start covering. Gary what did you see . I remember seeing a foot over car by the superdome, some flooding by the french quarter, maybe a fifth or two of water, some windows knocked, things blown over. But it did not look like it was a major disaster. Gary and then the levees broke. We didnt get word of that right away at all, but the next a when i went out, id had never seen the ninth ward before, we went over the bridge and looked down and it was water as far as you can see and it was shocking. I dont think i had a specific image in mind except we were looking for those who were the worst affected, those that could be trapped, that could be in danger. It was pretty obvious going down the other side of the bridge that you can see people being brought from their homes on boats and there were a number of people just the bridge already who had been rescued and it became kind of clear that there were lots of people out there trapped. These folks were not able to escape, not able to evacuate, there was a serious problem with the evacuation process and there was also a serious problem with the levees, of course. Gary when you came back, when uf come back since, what has grabbed your attention . The number one thing is the resilience of the people here. Be familiar the familial roots here run deeper than other people in the country could some 77 of new orleans before the storm reported they were native born. You see the strength of the people coming back and trying to get back to their roots and bring their families back and bring their communities back. I think this kind of resilience and resolve to rebuild and reclaim the city, we wouldnt have found in a lot of other cities that are more transient. Jane Gary Odonoghue with memories of katrina.
