PARIS, FRANCE – DECEMBER 08: A protester throws a tear gas canister back at the police during the ‘yellow vests’ demonstration near the Arc de Triomphe on December 8, 2018 in Paris France. ”Yellow Vests’ (‘Gilet Jaunes’ or ‘Vestes Jaunes’) is a protest movement without political affiliation which was inspired by opposition to a new fuel tax. After a month of protests, which have wrecked parts of Paris and other French cities, there are fears the movement has been infiltrated by ‘ultra-violent’ protesters. Today’s protest has involved at least 5,000 demonstrators gathering in the Parisian city centre with police having made over 200 arrests so far. (Photo by Chris McGrath/Getty Images)

LAMPEDUSA, ITALY – JUNE 10: Refugees and migrants wait in a small wooden boat to be rescued by crewmembers from the Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS) Phoenix vessel on June 10, 2017 off Lampedusa, Italy. An estimated 230,000 refugees and migrants will arrive in Italy this year as numbers of refugees and migrants attempting the dangerous central mediterranean crossing from Libya to Italy continues to rise since the same time last year. So far this year more than 58,000 people have arrived in Italy and 1,569 people have died attempting the crossing. Libya continues to be the primary departure point for refugees and migrants taking the central mediterranean route to Sicily. In an attempt to slow the flow of migrants, Italy recently signed a deal with Libya, Chad and Niger outlining a plan to increase border controls and add new reception centers in the African nations, which are key transit points for migrants heading to Italy. MOAS is a Malta based NGO dedicated to providing professional search-and-rescue assistance to refugees and migrants in distress at sea. Since the start of the year MOAS have rescued and assisted more than 4000 people and are currently patrolling and running rescue operations in international waters off the coast of Libya.
