Migrant crisis: The Syrians exploited by people-smugglers in Turkey (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34183454)


With no let-up in the number of refugees desperate to leave their countries, criminal gangs are making tens of thousands of dollars every time a crowded boat tries to make it to Europe.

The BBC's Fergal Keane reports from the Turkish coast, where secret filming reveals the extent of the illegal people-smuggling trade.

Check the official's reactionary posture and head turning @ 3:01, I'm wondering if this pose can be considered "defensive (http://www.today.com/health/he-lying-his-body-may-tell-truth-2D80555436)".


Few of us relish telling a lie. This is why a person who is lying will often turn his head, and sometimes his entire body, away from the person the lie is directed to. To feel additional protection while telling a lie, it’s also common for the liar to place symbolic barriers between himself and the person being fed the untruths, including folding his arms over his chest in a defensive motion or crossing his legs tightly. The barriers don’t have to be part of his body either; he might place a newspaper, coffee cup, eyeglasses, or some other object directly between himself and the victim of his lies.
