all smiles for the cameras in paris but the leaders of france and italy have been at loggerheads over their policy on migration and. afghanistan says pakistani taliban leader mullah fazlullah ordered the attack on schoolgirl malala has been killed in a u.s. drone strike. and a galaxy of stars turn out at london's westminster abbey to celebrate the life of late astrophysicist professor stephen. i'm joining in doha with all your world cup news including christiane and i'll do with the hat trick hero for portugal as they earn a three three draw with spain in their tournament opener. we begin with an escalating trade between the world's two biggest economies china and the united states earlier u.s. president donald trump announced he would be imposing twenty five percent tariffs on fifty billion dollars worth of chinese imports saying he was doing so to save american jobs beijing promised to retaliate quickly and it has imposing a tit for tat tariff of twenty five percent on u.s. goods also worth fifty billion that will take effect from july sixth alan fisher has more from the white house

volunteer in spain a couple of days after it was sent to turned away from italy. the route started and the talian interior minister mark vaile salvini head of the right wing league a well known anti migration campaigner previously said that he wanted an apology from france all this summer to the elysee palace should not happen while it is of course happening after a phone call from president emanuel my call wednesday night he didn't apologize but he made it clear that he didn't mean to insult italy or the italian people now the italian government have been pointing out that in the last. six months or so from the beginning of this year until the thirty first of may they say that france turned away ten thousand people push them back over the border from france into italy suggesting that france isn't taking its fair share pointing out that under a quota system reaching twenty fifteen at the height of the migrant flow france promised to take in around nine thousand people just from italy and they've only taken in around six hundred so really pointing the finger back a

s either in italy or inference. well of course we think it's important the french government in any jitney puts an end to these practices at the french border which are illegal and immoral but we also think it's really important that european governments come up with a better solution than the one we've gone to sharing responsibility for refugees and migrants and when e.u. leaders meet in brussels on the twenty eighth of june it's really important that this is top of their agenda to to agree a better way forward but we'll see what does happen certainly in the days ahead for the moment to talk to check but so much for joining us from london thank you. now the treatment of unaccompanied minors seeking asylum is also an issue in the united states where the trumpet ministration has been separating families who arrive at something border they've been rallies across the u.s. in support of children who've been forcibly removed from their parents and placed in detention facilities rob reynolds reports from los angeles. i. o

is or was that italy has been supporting this country. and italy is the work in the heart to fire tourism and to bring stability to libya and we call upon all our european partners to follow the italian example in this regard so many european countries have their own programs in partnership with the libyan side but the program should be libyan and libya. as a whole and the participation of the parent countries should be within this libyan program and it will protect this and we will prepare. caterers from libya to follow on their work their systems as an aid coming to us through their opinion will be your who was through the only soul channel namely the egyptian the libyan government. well i should like to thank. you in behalf of the ten people think the libyan government and also the libyan coast guard for the excellent work of the rescue. of these people in the mediterranean. and the italian government is absolutely in sympathy with your way of conducting this matter and we believe that. it should be only to live in authorities to patro

well that we've seen even with the in italy very different opinions some mayors saying that italy has always been a place where migrants can and a place to safety and refuge from the sea and i don't want to feed into the populist stance that parts of the government taking but we have led to very many years across europe that the dublin regulation the law all this is that wherever a migrant first lands is where they must claim asylum or seek residency simply does not work for the time i gratian that we've been seeing over recent years and in fact decades what do you foresee as the prospects that this e.u. meeting at the end of the month in trying to resolve that issue. well we're getting time for a very long tory in that and heads of states and ministers will meet together to remove result this is if you see in time and again is that nothing changes indeed the more that we have populist governments and progressive governments trying to come together in the european union bloc and find a common position the more that we see that the lowest common denominator prevails and the wiring thin

this was the scene on board the aquarius as the diplomatic standoff between italy and multi continued italy's interior minister tweeted he was closing the ports while malta as prime minister accused him of violating international norms the e.u. asked the two countries to take care of the migrants as a humanitarian gesture but in the end it was spain's prime minister who stepped in to take the equerries one hundred twenty three unaccompanied minors on board seven pregnant women as well. we can the kids we are well prepared and we have food and water enough to give these people to to see things but yeah this is not what we knew we should because we are so overcrowded people are sleeping in windsor in the day he says it is not comfortable at all. week tara exhausted so or we wish they could have her. comfortable place. if a place to go to to rest this was how old was prime minister reacted on twitter thanks spain's prime minister for taking the aquarius off to italy broke international rules and caused a standoff malta sending fresh supplies to the vessel and this is the important thing

the leaders of france and italy have met in paris to end a diplomatic route. to try to end to your both insist that the migration policy needs to be overhauled. or the sign of just how divided europe is over the migration issue is also scrambling to save her government after part of her ruling coalition threatened to walk away the concept of christian union the bavarian sister party to christian democrats is demanding to talk to checks on migrants at the border dominic cain reports. these are difficult days for angela merkel her coalition government is at a crossroads brought there by a rout over immigration with her interior minister horst zero offer he's one of her strongest allies on the center right with his very invasive christian social union c.s.u. the sister party to her c d's he wants her to change course she does not suppose anything to be in a god but soon i personally think illegal immigration is one of the big challenges for the european union so i don't believe we should act unilaterally we should not act in an uncoordinated way and we should not

their ordeal should soon be over but when italy turned away the charity boat that rescued them the u. querrey is the route that erupted almost led to emanuel is meeting with new italian prime minister giuseppe conti being counseled after mutual accusations of not doing enough for a phone call from president michel save the day and now they're promising to work hand in hand to find solutions. if you don't get local use in the case of the aquarius the risks start when the boat leaves libya this is at the heart of the initiative we want to take with our colleagues preventing the man and woman boarding ships and making dangerous journeys before being rescued by n.g.o.s the risk starts right from the beginning not just when the boat arrives in european waters we must have an organization with countries of transit to avoid humanitarian situations that are unbearable. we have always said and would like to reiterate today the dublin rules have to change italy is firmly opposed to the current reforms to the dublin system and we are currently preparing our own proposals which we will share with

at the end of the european council have a more responsible and more united europe italy is no longer alone. and keeping the hardliners happy extended to germany as well where chancellor merkel's political future has been in the balance the indications seem to be that the right wingers in her coalition seem satisfied that germany will be better protected from mass refugee flows though merkel has self acknowledged the vos rift in europe about humanitarian values this is and if we were to we have agreed on five guidelines but two are still lacking a common european asylum system but i'm optimistic after today that we can really continue to work even though there is still a lot to be done to bridge the different views other moves like strengthening support for the libyan coast guard will be condemned by humanitarian organizations as europe turning its back on its legal obligations if this was a success it was only in that it staved off the apparent imminent collapse of the european union under the weight of migration but in doing so it gave more weight to the populist right wing in europ

use his veto it if there was not an agreement that suited italy he did and because of that italians believe they got some concessions but nothing will change if we don't play hardball on grey's our voices we never get anything so broad really long. under the new e.u. agreement italy could host voluntarily new migrant centers that would process all arrivals and determine which are genuine refugees and which are illegal migrants to us. this country already has refugee camps the difference is that these arrivals would no longer be subject to the dublin regulations italy would not be responsible for them soley the idea is they could be divided up between other member states but again as no one held that would happen and for italians sharing the burden is a key issue. italy's been left alone it's true but of course i don't agree on the methods used by our interior minister i do think europe has to be reformed especially because there is no agreement on this issue the agreement also promises to explore the idea of setting up disembarkation platforms in north africa to try and process migr

to scrap the currency and that's a nuance that italy's politicians are well aware of. the issue of euro zone membership was largely avoided in the run up to the general election in march this financial expert says it should not be to boom to talk about quitting the euro if you see clearly i'm going to leave the euro. the markets will attack you strongly. we would finish as the greece at the opposite you have to. be. in order to exit from euro not saying clearly. and some italians already to back any party promising to get rid of the single currency people like danielle a friend whose father set up a butcher's shop here fifty years ago. if there was a politician trying to get a spike to where we were he'd get my vote but certainly the euro is something many italians love to hate but there are a few people here think it's going to disappear any time soon barbara al-jazeera will on saturday it really celebrates republic day and here in the capital there'll be a big military parade attended by many of those new ministers early next week we think they will pass a vote of co

well there is a feeling now that italy is in charge led by the new right wing interior minister. taking some decisive action in turning away that vote the lifeline to mulder you has in a way overturn those regulations regulations that they've been asking to be reformed for years and under those under that system it means that any asylum seekers who arrive on the shores eventually have to be processed here and if they move on to another state they can be returned to italy that is the system that most e.u. states today will be asking to be more strictly enforced but if he says it is understandably they want to share that burden they believe that if you arrive in italy you are arriving in europe now swept on the back of. rhetoric and in sicily a few weeks ago he told migrants to pack their bags and go home we came to this which is one of europe's largest refugee camps and it's because a boat when they land in italy and we asked them how they felt about this more hostile environment. a bus from could turn your unloading into cardamon near one of europe's largest refugee camps here th

meanwhile italy's new populist prime minister just happy conti had threatened to block the deal unless are the e.u. countries agreed to share the number of refugees and migrants coming to europe charlie angela has more now from sicily. we're hearing tanya and this is the last ship that brought in rescued migrants two weeks ago since then interior minister matteo salvini has closed italy's ports and at the summit there was no discussion as to what will happen the next time a european boat carrying rescued migrants is left stranded in the mediterranean instead italy's prime minister just emerged from the summit saying italy is no longer alone he went in threatening to use his veto if there was not an agreement that suited italy he did and because of that italians believe they got some concessions but nothing will change if we don't play hardball on grey's our voices will never get anything so long. under the new e.u. agreement italy could host voluntarily new migrant centers that would process all arrivals and determine which are genuine refugees and which are illegal migrants to be sent

has more now from paris on the war of words between italy and france. well the french president certainly trying to calm the situation he said in comments on wednesday that france and italy had always worked side by side on the issue of migrants in europe he also urged all sides to stop getting caught in emotions now lists of course just one day off to man or mark or sparked a diplomatic row with this city with his comments that the italian government had acted irresponsibly and cynically in its blocking of the aquarius ship now that seem to put france on the higher moral ground and that infuriated italian officials who are very quick to point out that of course france did not put its hands up to take in the aquarius boat that we know has fall into spain and the interior minister of italy also speaking out against holland france in the front simply hasn't done enough to share the burden with italy of the amount of migrants that are coming into the country trying to share that burden and ease the burden on the italian people now imagine a mark or is shar

it is an election promise made good italy has said it will no longer europe's refugee camp. i'm happy to be able to give the italian people the first piece of what they asked for. me is italy's new strongman leading the charge with his anti establishment coalition partners the five star movement and basking in high approval ratings for it. what is astonishing in this despite being judges populists this poll this is also very popular in italy there isn't a tremendous amount of people in these days saying yes we have to close the borders yes we have to control the access of immigrants yes we have to send them back home the timing isn't coincidental there's a meeting at the end of june that will consider changing the rule that asylum must be claimed in the country of first entry it's that rule that is put italy on the frontline of europe's migration crisis italy's treatment of those aboard the aquarius is notice that the rules are. changing each state has the right to manage his boundaries. but this should not put into doubt the. human rights our deepest concern is that if the

we reassured italy and europe that libya is ready in its plan to deal with migration we agree in many areas when it comes to illegal migration however only refuse completely and categorically the creation of an camps inside libya for the. this issue is forbidden under living in law and it does not apply any of. the number of migrants crossing the mediterranean to italy from libya ensures has fallen dramatically during the last year thanks partly to italian support for libya's coast guard. but italian navy ships docked at a navy base in tripoli has raised concerns here. eternally in navy vessels have been providing libya's close to god patrols with technical support training and logistics since last august it's part of a memorandum of understanding signed by libya's prime minister face and former italian prime minister power. in february last year. the rival libyan administration in the eastern city of tobruk sarahs the agreement violates libya's sovereignty. the telly and government has around sixteen thousand migrants reach it it's a lead this year compared to about seventy thousand

italy's new interior minister turned up to one of the hot spots in italy's refugee crisis that is one of the. poor areas the points of a rival where refugees and asylum seekers turn the city apart salo in sicily there he said that he wanted to stop this from being europe's refugee center strong rhetoric as you well designed to appeal to his supporters but not everyone who turned up to see him was necessarily convinced by his argument there were a handful of protesters there saying that really what was needed to be seen was the difficulties that people face exactly what it was that was driving them to italy in the first place and that is of course many of them fleeing war fleeing destitution and repression but of course mr salvini is keen to point out that this is a first move as the interior minister he wants to show italy and also to a certain extent the european union that he wants to play hardball with this here in the coming weeks pose to be meeting up in brussels with other european union interior ministers what he wants is renegotiation on the doppler accord that is to put an en

we have always said and would like to reiterate today the dublin rules have to change italy is firmly opposed to the current reforms to the dublin system and we are currently preparing our own proposals which we will share with our french friends and other european partners to develop them at the european level under the austrian presidency of the council and it's those rules which leaders will be reexamining at the european union summit in two weeks' time the dublin regulation imposed that the first gone through the world comes out that receives migrants and that's ireland seekers is in charge of processing at their claim which brought an enormous burden on countries like italy they mouth our own gary that is countries on the nod i'm sure are of the media there and see these two leaders were never going to get rid of all of the tensions that have built up between france and italy over the issue of migration but what we've heard from them does remind the whole continent that the solution to the problem lies only europe wide basis the number of people arriving in italy by sea has dropp

well i just thought to quickly point out the protection rates for people arriving in italy firm from libya currently about forty percent overall so i wouldn't say that ninety percent of those arriving. and i would also point out that you know the conditions of the abominable and i think we all agree on that but even if you are in iran were in charge of this offshore sentence the states will still not take these people the end because they're still sending the experts to unite safa cities to screen them afterwards if there's no consensus within europe on asylum rules i doubt there will be for caps offshore and so on on your specific question i think the key point is the one the quotas making i mean unfortunately styria has been whipped up by political actors in their own political gain and by and by the media which has been largely complicit in this and it is a textbook example of that even if the numbers were higher than in the cost of last few years it is a country of sixty million it has the capacity to absorb those flows and it has in the past when i had labor migration schemes th

the vessel aquarius after that was blocked from the italian ports in the crossing between libya and italy and the fact that the socialist government stepped up and and gave that safe passage could be one of the factors driving this new wave of migrants and refugees setting off from the shores of morocco and algeria to get here they assume that there's going to be a great a welcome here but it has to be said that the treatment of the two sets of migrants has been starkly different in valencia where we work the weekend for the arrival of the aquarius we saw more than two thousand volunteers and officials on the on stage there to help welcome them and give them the help that they need here it is very much a a an ad hoc situation the personnel have a great lot of experience but they say that simply that often they don't have the means to attend so many people in fact talking to the police they say that once the migrants are brought here to shore they are registered but after that there is no way to house them know where to attend them so the ports simply open the doors and they are free to go

normally, italy has allowed those migsrants once they've arrived in italy sort of a close your eyes, let them continue on through europe, but what's happened since the 2015 migration crisis, europe even countries want those migration flows to stop. so they're putting informal borders between austria and italy, italy and france, and now those -- >> migrants land and they're stuck. >> they're stuck. yes. and they're seeing this rising in urban areas, many tal dwrans associate more -- italians associate more crime and lawlessness with this migrant population. it just builds on the frustration of the economics of migration. it's really becoming an existential challenge for many europeans that see a shrinking demographic. these incredible winds of change of globalism and social change ad now you put a migration challenge, and it's just -- it's the straw that broke the camel's back. now they really -- they are really angry. they want to see dramatic change. and the new interior minister, ma today's sal veny, the head of the league has said he will expel immediately 500,000 migrants from it
