in neighboring italy the freshly formed euro skeptic government is also sending out a hostile message to illegal immigrants the new interior minister matteo salvini whom some described as italy's answer to donald trump has said his country will not become a refugee camp and that newcomers need to make other plans if you know treatment is usually. not. you know really. speaking and this is silly import of tanya he promised to reduce the number of illegal immigrants arriving in the country also as you just saw it pledged to get to work on deportations a policy that is proving divisive in italy. i think the soviet writes i hope he stops these illegal migrant royal ones what can they do here they are people without a house they have nothing. in the italian government today each country is composed of diverse i think groups and diverse people becomes completely closed immigrant traffic they have i think it's ok to take a break he has to set rules migrants can come in discriminately they will create many problems in italy there are many problems already for example there is a lot of poverty

well the new policy at play here in italy is that they will no longer allow themselves to be the first point of contact for boats carrying rescued migrants in the mediterranean and when they turned away the boat the lifeline which was carrying over two hundred migrants which had to end up but docking in malta they did briefly overturn the dublin regulations which they have been asking to be reformed for years said that the prime minister going into brussels will veto any e.u. agreement unless there is a commitment to reform those dublin regulations these new policies have been driven by the new far right interior minister met whose migrant record is actually proving very popular here in italy he came to sicily a few weeks ago and he said migrants are to pack their bags and go home well this is one of the largest camps for asylum seekers more than two thousand seven hundred now we're at home and we asked them how they felt about this very severe mood change in the city. a bus from could turn your unloading into cardamon new one of europe's largest refugee camps here there is fresh refug

first major rescue landing in italy since it has been he became the deputy prime minister something he has promoted a hardline anti immigration stance since being. in office jonah hall joins us live now from rome so what is the latest jonah. well this is evidence really of the many many people hundreds daily still trying to make this crossing from north north africa to serve in europe but as they get into trouble at sea as many inevitably do it now matters who they're picked up by as to where they will be taken to because foreign flags n.g.o.s rescue vessels operating in the med have now been told by the italian government that they will no longer be able to access safe harbor here in italy of course the coast guard still is allowed to carry out rescues where it finds them in terms of the law of rescue at sea but effectively this week it's italy and the government here has said no more to the long established status quo in the mid. for four days they've been aboard the m.s. aquarius relief at being rescued short lived now uncomfortable in the searing mediterranean heat and yet reall

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 and raise our voices we never get anything so broad any longer lives. 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 the 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 has 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 p

deficit italy has done so and they've abided by that and thus destroyed their economy in a time when you know in the recession when they should have been actually helping the economy and facilitating liquidity in transaction and credit unlike what happened for germany and stuff so let's however look at the technocrats the european commission this was a tweet from a journalist from deutsche of al who interviewed a european commissioner who is a german who is a european commissioner for budget and human resources and so here is the tweet from bernard thomas riegert of deutsche of l. the markets and a darkened outlook will teach italy's voters not to vote for populist parties in the next elections told me the commissioner oettinger in exclusive interview for a dose of health news and strasburg i can only hope that. will play a role in the election campaign so it looks like there will be another election in italy probably in july or august. and this guy oettinger who is good herman oettinger a german politician and now a european commissioner he's saying that because the markets have rea

italy's deputy prime minister material salvage any has visited libya where he discussed the migration crisis he also hit out at the n.g.o.s behind the lifeline rescue boat. follow the instructions of the libyan time incomes go it's not lucia he must be seized and he pulled. on the crew should be taken into custody. but while the political wranglings continue these migrants a left at sea watching and waiting for a decision on their fate to be made. well i'm joined now by telephone with alina kobol from sea watch that's a nonprofit organization that conducts search and rescue operations in the mediterranean she is at the port in malta and she's been in touch with the staff from lifeline that's that stranded vessel carrying more than two hundred and thirty alina welcome to the show what is descent to ation on board the flying tonight i mean what have the korean refugees from lifeline what are they told you. all think that they may be the situation quite calm i mean we're in continuous exchange already brought the price to the ship like medical equipment and so on. it's calm but it's also

of germany and of italy are completely contradictory it's only once a get rid of migrants italy doesn't want to keep them because europe doesn't take migrants off of these hands so particularly that sort of deal could be difficult or it would be extremely expensive for germany if italy could be bought on that point that's the question but already we see the first government crisis in rome unfolding so we don't even know who has the power to speak and make what agreements so we are on very uncertain ground there at the moment all right you have used barbara visa with the very latest for us from brussels thank you barbara. well setting off this rush to find a migration solution and interior minister here in germany with a case of migration fatigue or symbol for has threatened to close germany's borders to new arrivals unless chancellor merkel can secure a unified e.u. or sponsor to migration by the end of the month and the growing backlash against migrants across europe has many fearing for their future like the young man you're about to meet. i'm ahmed i'm almost twenty years old i was b

well from stories about austerity hit britain to the future of austerity hit italy in the anniversary week of britain's historic decision to leave the e.u. and ahead of next week's crucial east summit joining me now is italy's woman treasury director and chief economist professor there and so could only you reza thanks for coming on the show wants to worry about palace of owner isn't finance minister know him in the digs it from the european union and giovanni tria with his council meetings in paris over the euro zone negotiations is a catastrophe this is politics ok and so i think the new government will be will have to be very careful because i think a more than the fiscal rules more than brussels here we have the financial markets watching very closely the situation and financial markets basically focusing on two issues first the commitment to the euro which seems to be not as strong as in the past although recent statement seems to suggest that they don't this is not on the agenda and therefore they are not question any the participation of italy and it would be euro which should

leaders to stem the flow of migrants italy is stepping forward to demand a tougher stance italy's new populist interior minister my tail visited libya on monday and called for screening centers to process migrants in north africa meanwhile italy has blocked a ship carrying more than two hundred migrants from talking on it shores following through on solving these earlier warning that italy would not be taken taking in one more refugee. stranded at sea these migrants have been stuck on the ship since thursday after they were rescued from rubber boats off libya's coast . the german operated ship lifeline refused entry by spain and italy the ngo has warned the situation on board is critical. situation getting worse and i would say we also. see this night. he needs surgery. so in the last minutes he could be. seasick. we are waiting for call. italy's hard line interior minister matteo salvini wants to cut off the flow of migrants before they even put to sea he's been in libya calling for reception centers to screen arrivals in neighboring chad and sudan. where. the attack and government w

italy's new interior minister my tale salvini has visited a migrant detention center in sicily a week before municipal elections on the island regions outside protesters chanted slogans against salvini and held badgers in support of refugees salvini is head of the nationalist league party which has demanded a crackdown on migration. dozens of people have died in two boat accidents while trying to cross the mediterranean nine migrants drowned when their boat capsized off of turkey and around fifty bodies have washed up on the beaches following a separate sinking many more are still missing. italy is getting ready for a new political era the country's government has finally been sworn in on friday ending months of political turmoil and the threat of a repeat election but investors remain nervous since the coalition promises to increase spending slash taxes and challenged european union fiscal rules which would add to italy's pile of debt. is two point three trillion euros that's the message of dieppe mountain italy is sitting on but its new government which was sworn in on friday has mo

and doesn't accept the salem see because they just sweep streets a league in their accepted because italy has not declared parts of afghanistan to secure so we have urgently to find transnational european solutions for these problems otherwise we will not be able to stop the crisis ok i can see in paris john is really disagreeing let me go to ralph well quickly it seems to me that roland you want to create the united states of europe and everything to date shows that's not what people want no one ever asked the europeans if they ever wanted that route let me go to you are not a very important issue there isn't being brought up here and this applies to the united states and europe is that there are criminal gangs making a fortune off of this scam ok bringing people in their n.g.o.s you know they do gooders but no they're blinded by ideology they're there pat they're ideologically possessed they have a hatred for their own culture a hatred for europe they want to just wipe it away and fill it up with foreign alien people i'm sorry to sound so politically incorrect but that is true particula

them either but they still keep blending in italy are coming through italy and they want to get rid of those people too and have somebody take them off their hands so what could a possible solution be there if there isn't one it will cost a tremendous money for berlin they might be willing to pay it but at the moment we can't really see what that would look like. faisal reporting for us thank you barbara. an immigration crisis on america's southern border is drawing international condemnation british prime minister theresa may has said images of children being held in cages were deeply disturbing more than two thousand miners have been separated and confined away from their parents since early may president trump has defended the separation policy despite growing anger from both sides of the political aisle now the transparency group publica has released an audio recording that apparently features sobbing central american children that has added fresh fuel to the debate. but i remember one of. the. children detained in cages calling for their parents this is the trumpet ministrations z

this week humanitarian vessel was denied the right to dock at a port on italy's island of sicily the rescue ship was carrying over six hundred migrants including many unaccompanied minors and pregnant women they had been rescued off the coast of libya but are now currently on route to the port of lengthier after spanish authorities said that they could dock there well the french president has been scathing in his attack of italy in regards to this situation describing the country's actions as being cynical and irresponsible italy is furious at that criticism by france and is demanding an apology. the french ambassador has been summoned by a foreign minister who on behalf of the italian people will ask for an explanation for the insults directed not only against the government but also against the nation which is among the first in the world in terms of generosity of solidarity to tell it to the french and the humility to apologize the story will be closed and we will work in the interests of everyone this president is said to have told a cabinet meeting that under maritime law it's d

in regards to the situation describing the country's actions as being cynical and irresponsible italy is fierce at that criticism by france and is demanding an apology. the french ambassador has been summoned by a foreign minister who on behalf of the italian people will ask for an explanation for the insults directed not only against the government but also against a nation which is among the first in the world in terms of generosity solidarity and hospitality if the french are the humility to apologize the story will be closed and we will work in the interests of everyone. present is so took told the cabinet meeting that under maritime law it's dictated that in cases of distress those with the closest coastline have a responsibility to respond and in his view that was sicily but it has since image that leaders on the french island of corsica actually offered the vessel to dock there before they were criticized harshly by the central government in paris so some including italy suggesting that they some double standards when it comes to migrants and france they've also now asked franc

you have all the fiscal concerns going on in italy. you have the fact that italy has been very slow growth over the last few years, whereas spain has been more like the poster child for the eurozone with strong growth over the past few years. as we know from the polling, very supportive of the euro. mark: the post crisis peak was 73 basis points. now our markets live strategist mark cranfield suggests that could be the bottom. would you agree with that? what 75 basis points now be the narrowest that spread will be or do you see it coming back to post crisis levels? iain: i think that is fair because there is a big difference between spain and italy. spain is moving towards the semi-core. they have been upgraded over the last few quarters are so. there is a big debate on italy on how the rating agencies will look at the big fiscal expansion the government is talking about. the force of 120 billion euros of spending, you are not worried i some of these figures? that is big numbers. iain: those are huge numbers, but the proof will be in w

country in which they were first processed and of course that generally means either italy or greece which is proving such a burden on those countries which is leading to such tensions in places like southern italy and which has led to partly the election of the new italian government so at that summit as you were saying they will be looking at tinkering with the dublin agreement there have been the quotas agreed back in twenty fifteen at the height of the migrant flow and the italian government criticized france for really taking in less than half of the number that it promised to take in from italy out of a total of twenty thousand but there's no appetite in france to take in many more people either the government here has got tougher in recent months so it really does need some kind of european wide action all right thank you for that nadeem lity barbour's our correspondent there in paris well now looking at the issue particularly in northern italy and it borders with frances is an area of particular tension between these two countries people from sudan eritrea and afghanistan the

it was that countries would simply let the migrants in like greece and italy and then send them north to germany in other words they were there were bigger the neighbor policies which is a structural problem in the you so i think we need to finish with this idea that the solution is european the problem is european role in the the arguments that the left in the media have made is that it's already been mentioned this program think it was you demographics the need the need for workers new workers but i mean looking at the evidence i don't see a lot of these migrants particularly since two thousand and fifteen are employed across the european union they do take state benefits and in most of the country the european union have austerity so you have very large youth unemployment so why the same poles to keep bringing in more people and less it just cheap labor go ahead roland. you know this is. especially if we can go count the current trend to work out some of the station. large parts of the traditional labor force especially blue collar workers will be dismissed over the coming years an

refused to the lifeline a safe port in italy prefer him to send refugees to camps in libya what to do is illegal so we think that italian is breaking international law because libya is not safe and people are crowded in in such prisons and. face monitress and say i and tortured and raped so we are sure that this is not a solution and should stop very very soon the plight of the lifeline embodies the broader european debate about whether to rescue refugees at sea and bring them to safety in the european union or ship them to camps in so-called safe countries stablished humanitarian practice is that of bringing them to europe but there is disagreement on putting sharing and a growing chorus of hardliners supports outsourcing humanitarianism to others the lifelines refugees are now at this processing center. in walesa lucky to have their asylum interviews in europe from their balconies they can see the freedom little weights them unemployment television and dominoes in this ship break because it is safe but not a life and some european attitudes are hardening against freelance search and

and migration was also topping the agenda when french president emmanuel mccall met italy's new prime minister jens if it comes to in paris on friday the two men calling for profound changes to the european union's saddam policies talks came after a diplomatic spat earlier this week when paris criticize rome's refusal to let a migrant rescue ship docked at its port. days ago they exchanged harsh words now it's handshakes and back rubs french president emanuel and italian prime minister giuseppe contests are finding common ground despite their differences one is a european cheerleader the other the head of a euro skeptic government but both agree that the current rules for processing asylum seekers in their country of a rival are not working. the concept of a state of first entry must be reviewed whoever set foot in italy sets foot in europe. will be to make the math that today the current system does not work at the moment. the solidarity system is designed with quotas did not deliver satisfactory results we must find a mechanism so each state can bear responsibility for migrants on i

to to italy and. for migration. so of course who were affected and we played your right as relevant to. the. duffy in trying to find a solution which is not there yet. now one perplexing thing to me as somebody reported from libya both before they got office matter and after that it was. the fact that you know he was as mercurial as he was he was actually open to change if only for a parent and i think he was also open to making his relationship with the west particularly european union of it a little bit better why do you think that. oh transformation. wasn't preferred. faster information. regime change. and you could discuss. why you took the lead and. i'm not seeing. that gadhafi. had to be he was a dictator but as you know we have been used to leave along in many other countries so your question was right. well it's a convenient position from my point of view because you mentioned before that italy is quite resentful about having to deal with the migration crisis yeah you kind of outsource responsibility for tha

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 andre's our voices we 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 back these would be finals and managed by the e.u. this country already has refugee camps the difference is that these arrivals would no longer be subject to the drop in regulations italy would not be responsible for them solely the idea is they could be divided up between other member states but again there's no concrete agreement on how that would happen and for italians sharing the burden is a key issue. italy has 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

and also coming up spain comes to the rescue of migrants on a boat in limbo in the mediterranean sea italy's new wake wing interior minister delivering on a campaign promise a block the vote from entering the italian ports. on leyla iraq thank you very much for your company everyone well we start off with this week's headline event that historic summit between u.s. president donald trump and north korea's leader kim jong il and in the latest twist in the drama filled lead up to choose these talks trump has said he will be leaving singapore early because negotiations on getting rid of north korea's nuclear weapons have moved more quickly than expected well the abrupt change in strums schedule can. shortly after secretary of state michael yo heads to lower expectations for the meeting in the meantime the two leaders have been taking in the sights of singapore. time for a selfie kim jong un hadn't been seen leaving his hotel since shortly after his arrival on sunday but he decided to go for a night time to or if singapore just hours before his historic summit with donald trump. singapore has de

they have increased in italy by 3%. you have an electorate sold the promise of the euro, lots of warnings at the time that it was imperfectly designed and heading for a smash at some point. it seems to be almost impossible to reform. president macron is doing brilliantly in many respects, but there doesn't seem to be any sense... we could have had this conversation six or seven years ago and saying the same things and yet it is still there. italy and the love for europe of the italians and they felt let down because of the refugee crisis. it was italy who had to cope because of the dublin agreements, data in hundreds and thousands of refugees and where pretty much left alone with it. no wonder people say they don't help us, why should we stick to the project. greece is suffering from the refugee crisis as well. and malta. there have been reports of refugees selling their passports and returning to turkey or syria. because they cannot cope, the culture change as well. europe is faced with so many tremors and fault lines

it's always nice to hear about a happy ending firefighters in italy have come to the rescue of three just stressed kittens the tiny creatures had become trapped in a plastic pipe just centimeters wide in the town of langdale in northern italy children playing nearby heard their myaing and alerted their parents the firefighters use string to hoist the kittens to safety and reunited them with their mother. just a reminder of the top stories we're following for you at the world cup in russia for the first time in thirty six years germany has lost their opening match the defending world champions fell to underdogs mexico one nail this shock result now puts their title defense in trouble. conservative newcomer has won colombia's landmark presidential election two k. was running against former rebel and leftist stubble peytral his victory could have implications for the country's historic peace deal with the former fox rebels. had seen his rap join us again at the top of the hour don't forget you can always check out our website or follow us on twitter thanks for watching t w news. we spea

like greece it's one of the reasons that italy rejected that boat that we just saw and said no we're not taking on anymore it's one of the reasons that we now see a nationalist populist populist government in place in italy so one reason for uncle americal is simply fairness justice within the e.u. but beyond that this is also imposing strains on the european union as a whole it has absolutely been an ongoing dispute within the union which is why the chancellor has said again and again this is a european problem and we need a common multilateral european answer and she said it again in her podcast this weekend talking about the crucial issues that she'll be bringing up with president emmanuel mccraw france when she meets him this week let's just take a brief listen to what she said. and all the piss is a european challenge that also needs a european responds and i think this is one of the crucial issues for europe's cohesion. so in the two weeks before a very important summit at the end of this month she apparently is hoping to talk to some of those key countries on the southern peri

this let me let me go to you first in london we have somewhat of a crisis we'll see where it goes in italy we had the majority of italians going to the polls voting for parties that were against the neo liberal agenda of the status quo and i would also extend that to the philosophy of the e.u. and now we have a nonpolitical technical government and it looks like it's only a matter of time before there's going to be another election i mean where do you see this going because on the one hand you have the elites worried about share values assets and that's perfectly understandable i think that any anyone in power be worried about that but then you have the democratic process i mean how do you balance these two because this is where it's going to turn into potentially a crisis sometime in the fall go ahead if you found this in london yeah well we're still riding the wave of populism across europe the populist parties are gaining momentum still it was thought that it had stopped a little bit or retrenched maybe with the french election which you can mention. but we see again the need to leave n

i'm having a home for you good to have you with us off your week a stranded at sea off to italy and malta and their boats away more than six hundred rescued migrants have finally been allowed to step on to dry and the aquarius which has been at the center of a political crisis and you at city. have heard am hopeful terms. the hours are. the three vessel convoy was carrying six hundred thirty migrants including some one hundred twenty three unaccompanied minors some of the new arrivals had to be taken directly to hospital . volunteers turned out in their hundreds to assist the migrants and called for cooperation among you states. and boy i think the aquarius has become a symbol that something isn't working that we are here confirms that it doesn't and wouldn't be like this if politically things worked in europe. a week ago the migrants were rescued from overcrowded dinkies by the aquarius in the mediterranean . the ship soon became the focus of a pan-european dispute about migration when it was turned away by malta and italy with rome saying e.u. member states were not doing enough to shou

italy pulls back from the brink. spain topples over it. in the uk, the conservatives look for compromise over brexit. and donald trump marshals his diplomatic forces for peace. to discuss all of that with me — greg katz of the news agency the associated press, stefanie bolzen from the german newspaper die welt, the iranian writer nazenin ansari and iain martin, columnist with the british newspaper the times. there's an old joke that the united kingdom and the united states are two nations divided by a common language. but whether you say "aluminum" and i say "aluminium", a 10% tariff on imports of that and 25% on imports of steel is not a friendly gesture. on friday, donald trump's administration imposed the duties, saying negotiations with the european union, canada and mexico haven't made enough progress in the two months since he first threatened tariffs on foreign metals. the french said it was illegal, the british called it absurd, and justin trudeau, canada's prime minister, looked hurt. stefanie, the european commissioner responsi

border now italy which no longer wants to be responsible for all the migrants who land on its shores had threatened to veto an earlier statement now it says it feels its demands have been met. let's go right to brussels and bureau chief max hoffman who's been covering this story for us hi max good to feel there was a lot of relief on the faces of e.u. leaders this morning is this agreement a breakthrough. well if you look at a two step process the whole migration issue then on the first step which is my controlling illegal migration knowing who comes to the european union then yes this is a european solution it is you could say it's a success but at the second part what do you do with people who've made it to the european union especially we thought was who've been granted asylum then it is not this has been a very contentious topic as you know sue me for the last years there is just no solution for the redistribution of migrants within the european union and referring again to that first you know controlling the borders maybe setting up sort of some kind of migrant tabs in northern

i'm terry martin and welcome to the program emergency talks on migration are planned for sunday and italy has confirmed now that it will take part but only after german chancellor i'm going to michael agreed to scrap a prepared joint statement she hoped would clinch a swift deal and immigrant leaders from central europe meanwhile said they will not attend the summit in a sign of worsening divisions within europe. just two days to go before german chancellor angela merkel's mini migration summit invitations have gone out in the name of the european commission to ten countries including italy greece spain belgariad and austria merkel wants as many countries as possible to sign up to a deal whereby asylum seekers would be returned to the e.u. country in which they first registered a draft migration accord pointed to a tightening of the sign and policy the document proposed establishing migrant processing centers outside e.u. borders also a mechanism for deportations between e.u. countries cash and other welfare provisions would only be available in the countries migrants are registered and t

italy doesn't have the same migron pressure like it had last year. for now it certainly seems as if italy has won forcing other countries to take into consideration its gripes the italian prime minister has hailed the outcome. of that overrules weaken the rule it's not a swipe it was a long negotiation and the good from today is no longer. well on thursday italy effectively blocked a statement and issued an ultimatum to brussels the situation was extremely tense with the european council president donald tusk warning that there was further division in store for europe what of course remains to be seen is how these new changes will be implemented on the ground and how in fact they are ultimately will pan out. let's look at some more details on this and bring in italian journalist marcelo forward joining us here on the program today great to see you today what do you make of the e.u. summit outcome is it perhaps a victory for italy which got other member states perhaps to take into consideration its concerns. well i wouldn't say victory three but i wou
