5:03 am
five people out alive. the toll of dead or missing in these waters is up to six hundred fifty people since january and yet it's a far cry from twenty fifteen when this was the main route to europe more than a million people crossed and there were three times as many deaths most migrants now come through northern africa search and rescue n.g.o.s have diverted to deploy from italy all motor he says we are witnessing a decrease in arrivals in recent months this figure of the decrease does not stop us running into people who come are in terrible physical and psychological condition with. these with the latest arrivals more than one hundred fifty people reach south in sicily on friday we are here and we will perform. as long as we will be able to perform we are performing rescue and we would be performing in the future but this was. the day and sometimes there is good news ten days

5:05 am
goes to see the problem the e.u. now faces we told those to some of our european partners that a better life should be assured to people back in their countries and not in europe italy's new interior minister says the island of sicily will no longer be what he calls europe's refugee camp salving he who visited sicily on sunday says his plans to deport illegal migrants are not hardline but common sense here is one of the main arrival points for migrants who make the dangerous in crossing from north africa more now for some again. as if to make a provocative point. new interior minister turned up to one of the hot spots in italy's refugee crisis that is one of the. poorer areas the point of arrival where refugees and asylum seekers turn the city popstar low in sicily there he said that he wanted to stop this from being europe's refugee center strong rhetoric as
5:06 am
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 post to be meeting up in brussels with other european union interior ministers what he wants is a renegotiation on the doppler accord that is to put an end to people turning up to the first e.u. member states and claiming asylum there he says that puts it in a bit unfair position but whether he's able to do this in the face of of the european union is another matter the beleaguered jordanian prime minister may be on
5:07 am
his way out sources have told down to zero that king abdullah the last prime minister. to resign in the meeting on monday that in days of protests in the kingdom after the government proposed raising income tax by at least five percent the government was also planned to increase corporation tax by as much as forty percent so as the hikes are needed to kick start the economy. if the government doesn't respond to and mons the move will be a general strike on wednesday just like the one last week will be calling for the government to step down because we do not want to go. pressured by external involvement we need a government that represents the nation al-jazeera is timing all saudis in amman where protesters have gathered near the prime minister's residence. protester asking for the removal of the jordanian government and the removal of any and milky there also demanding the removal of the taxes sparked initial protest as you can see only a few meters separate the protesters from the prime minister's residence and this
5:08 am
is only one of many streets leading to the prime minister's home where protesters have gathered for the fourth consecutive day main roads leading to the prime minister's home have been cut off the entire area has been classified as a military zone and no one has been permitted to get close according to high government sources the king of jordan has invited the prime minister to his palace tomorrow where he along with other members of the jordanian government are expected to submit their resignation let's talk to iran my good is that middle east analyst and former based journalist who joins us live from washington d c m how significant are these reports that king abdullah is going to ask the prime minister resign and why now. it's very significant that the protests only began on wednesday and we've been moving very quickly to the point where on friday the king canceled the fuel tax and already according to many reports monday the prime minister will resign this has been one of the key demands of the protesters in addition to the canceling of the tax law. and we've seen these mass protests on the street
5:09 am
particularly the capital let me know how angry jordanians and what started this. well the immediate reason for these protests was the recent tax. but. the focus of this anger has gone way back you have unemployment rising to about eighteen percent amman is one of the most expensive cities in the arab region you have deep seated economic issues with twenty one percent of jordanians below the poverty level in addition to the country of serving over six hundred fifty five thousand syrian refugees so many jordanian feel deeply unhappy with the current economic situation and that has caused them to go to the streets and say that enough is enough and iran what about jordan's regional neighbors i mean how worried will they be about the impact all of this is having across the region particular as jordan holds a huge refugee population. so jordan holds the third largest number of syrian
5:10 am
refugees after turkey and lebanon so jordan's place is very important in the region as you mentioned but it's not just regarding the syrian crisis you also have saudi arabia one of the largest powers who borders jordan and they would be extremely concerned if a monarchy like jordan experienced instability because that would question whether the kingdom of saudi arabia could also face protests from there and there are people in addition you have israel borders jordan jordan is one of two arab countries has a peace treaty with the jewish state and israel would be very concerned if jordan stability were at risk and then finally you have larger powers like the united states and russia who both maintain very strong security ties with jordan and would be extremely worried that if the stability of the hashemite kingdom would be at risk how would that impact their larger middle east plans ok so final thought from iran what's the solution than jordan's financial worries and which key players into mash to help it get out of this crisis well the reason why this
5:11 am
situation is so difficult is because there are no easy solutions so while unemployment has risen the reason for these tax hikes was because only about five percent of jordanians are paying income tax so you have very few and i'm jordanians contributing so jordan the government has said that we need to have more money coming into the budget the debt has spiked to about forty billion dollars the debt to g.d.p. ratio is at ninety five percent so the reason that the jordanian government backed by the international monetary fund has increased taxes because this current situation is unstable if jordan removes the prime minister the deep seated economic woes are going to continue therefore there are no easy fixes and this situation is going to be very dangerous in the coming days if not weeks then my good thank you for talking to al-jazeera. now insulting and unacceptable that south canada's prime minister just introduced described the new u.s. tariffs on steel and aluminum imports president donald trump invoked national
5:12 am
security concerns as justification for the towers which is also imposed on metal imports from mexico and the european union canada plans to impose reciprocal measures on its southern neighbor. first of all we're putting the same kinds of tariffs exactly on steel and aluminum coming from the united states into canada to be directly reciprocal but we are also putting a number of tariffs on consumer goods finished products for which canadians have easy alternatives one of the either made in canada or made from another partner with the tariffs one of the truths about tariffs is they drive up costs for consumers and on top of that these tariffs are going to be hurting american workers and canadian workers the idea that we are somehow a national security threat to the united states is quite frankly insulting and unacceptable well donald trump's top economic adviser called that response by justin trudeau an overreaction laurie could lows as the u.s.
5:13 am
has to protect itself i don't think we're satisfied yet that they will protect or uphold all the shipments of steel coming into canada from around the world could be china could be brazil could be a lot of different places this tranche shipping effort is something that has been troubling to us look the president has declared our steel industry a national security matter. my comments in washington with more. well the u.s. is now at the center of trade disputes on a number of fronts with traditional allies canada the e.u. mexico they all absolutely furious at the decision to impose new tariffs and even more upset by the contention that it's a national security issue and talks with china have fallen apart it would appear the commerce secretary was two days of talks in beijing with the chinese vice premier but no agreement reached china absolutely furious at the fact that the u.s.
5:14 am
says it's threatening to reintroduce new tariffs this just a matter of weeks after it seemed that agreement had been reached on some form of truce now all of this is likely to come to a head in the next few days when the leaders of the g. seven nations gather for talks in canada. also to come on the news hour including hacking the cattle news agency new information about how big a role saudi arabia played in the cyber crime that led to the gulf crisis. and government workers face a backlash in nicaragua as weeks of protests showed no signs of letting up and in support brazilian strike a name makes the perfect return from injury just in time for the world cup. now residents of a libyan town will be allowed to return home for the first time in almost seven years after a reconciliation deal was signed between the town of to work and the city of

al jazeera investigative reporters found that saudi arabia played a bigger role in causing the gulf crisis than previously thought the report shows the cell that hacked the website of the cut on news agency in may twenty seventeen work from a saudi government ministry in riyadh on the phones and computers all connected to a saudi communication company the hacking of the cattle news agency led to the fallout between canada and its gulf neighbors out here rabia bahrain and the u.a.e. last june. a second french newspaper is reporting that saudi arabia is threatening military action against cats are if it acquires russian weapons le figaro says the saudi crown prince has written to u.s. president donald trump and the british prime minister to reserve made to warn that it's ready to retaliate if caught out choir's the s four hundred anti-aircraft defense system it was revealed he'd written a similar letter to the french president emmanuel micro on friday cattles ambassador to moscow said in january but his country intended to reduce our system
5:18 am
well below is a journalist an analyst with the gulf matters he says he doesn't think the saudi threat is serious. to begins with going to macron and then to washington then we're told to london why would you go to the russians this is a question that i don't understand which is that simply if you're upset about the russians selling this s four hundred a very sophisticated missile defense system to the country is why don't you go to the russian and say look because the russians are already in a deal with the saudis on selling this system to the saudis they've already sold it to the turks for two point five billion they're in the process of doing a deal with the egyptians and the saudis can simply say if you go ahead with this. you don't have to deal with us i don't think the threat is that serious i think it's all part of the posturing that's going on and clearly whereas the outside world the u.k. the europeans we hear the americans rather want to see this dispute settled.
5:19 am
this saudis and the iraqis keep upping the ante i think the qataris have said look we'll sit down we'll have a conversation let's have a dialogue and they had to keeps getting pushed up by the saudis and the amorality so i think what we're seeing here is a bit of gamesmanship to put more pressure on qatar using this as weapons dealers as part of the. defense minister has warned against any confrontation with iran he says the twenty fifty nuclear deal should be worked on despite the u.s. pulling out of it in my. own judgment i think the united states this was. the you know war with iran. maybe more pressure. maybe it will get to a result but i think the five plus one. is a good outcome everyone should keep holding on this. advance with its
5:20 am
know with any third party. is trying to push the region or some country in the region to start a war with iran this is will be very dangerous because i am sure no one from the western hemisphere or countries where you know protected by the western hemisphere will go directly with iran maybe they will try to push a lot of neighbors to go against iran and this is dangerous what tuesday will mock one years since the blockade began and we'll have a special program looking at the political economic and human impact of the crisis that's an eight hundred g.m.t. on tuesday right here on al-jazeera. ongoing violence in nicaragua has claimed more lies after another attack on anti-government demonstrators more than a hundred people have been killed since the start of a political crisis that began of a proposed cuts to the country's social security system but have grown into calls
