Matthew JarvisGUEST
Mm.
Henri-Pierre KoubakaHOST
Um, this Pope went to Lampedusa.
Matthew JarvisGUEST
Yes.
Henri-Pierre KoubakaHOST
When he went to Lampedusa, it was the same speech.
Matthew JarvisGUEST
Mm.
Henri-Pierre KoubakaHOST
I mean, same speech in it was the same idea about, you know, um, we are welcoming people, and we need to take care of them.
Chris TerrillNARRATOR
Because there will be no more petrol stations along the route, we have to avoid coming across the notorious drug traffickers or being ambushed with the danger of ending up on foot in the middle of the desert.
Chris TerrillNARRATOR
Armed with Kalashnikovs and satellite phones, we're going to take the illegal immigrant route, the one that usually ends in Lampedusa.

... right, where all of the walls, all the Mediterranean was locked down, people stopped coming across it, Lampedusa was restored, s- Ceuta was, you know, sorted out, everything was sorted, and we had no more immigration into Europe.
LucaHOST
We just stopped it because everyone decided that it was killing us, which it is.
LucaHOST
I still would not want to jo- rejoin the EU because principally it was built on the sovereignty of Britain-
Lorenzo FeltrinGUEST
And, uh, these crabs, uh, pose a problem to the local fishers because they enter the nets, ate the catch, and also became, uh, an occupational hazard, biting the fishers themselves, [laughs] so that, uh, the fishers used to call them Daesh, which means ISIS in, uh, Arabic to, you know, underline [laughs] their violent inclinations of the crabs.
Lorenzo FeltrinGUEST
So, so the, this deterioration of the conditions of living for the majority of the population generated a variety of outcomes, including, uh, Kerkennah becoming a hotspot of migration from Tunisia to Italy to the island of Lampedusa.
Lorenzo FeltrinGUEST
Because the progress of the ecological crisis is dispossessing an increasing amount of, uh, population that still relies on direct access, uh, to nature for the livelihood from, uh, the possibility to make a living as they used to, but also a collective response in the form of a social movement, uh, to ask, uh, reparations from, uh, the oil and gas companies.
Lorenzo FeltrinGUEST
So yes, this was a stark example of how the ecological crisis has an impact on the working class in a disproportionate way, and in particular, in this case, the working class of a global south country.

Peter BennettGUEST
It was less about conversational language and more about literature.
Peter BennettGUEST
And they introduced us to one that has stuck with me for a wee while, and that's "Il Gattopardo." "Il Gattopardo" is Italian for The Leopard, and it was written by, um, Giuseppe Tomasi, who happened to be the Prince of Lampedusa.
Peter BennettGUEST
And you may have heard of Lampedusa 'Cause Lampedusa is that little island off the coast of Italy where all of the refugees from North Africa go to, to get, um, what you call asylum in the European Union.
Peter BennettGUEST
You know, he was the Prince of Lampedusa, and his Il Gattopardo charted the demise of the aristocracy in Italy at the time of what they call the Risorgimento, which was the unification of Italy.
Peter BennettGUEST
And it was just telling it from the other point of view.
Gavin CoyleHOST
Yeah, yeah.
