slashed their inflatable boat with a knife emotion you know we have denounced at the court of power madame york or the captain of the three ideas for negligence and for reckless homicide and we are going to do the same with the captain of the libyan patrol which is a member of the libyan coast guard for negligence and for homicide we will take the same measures against anyone who has participated in these acts actively or for by passing their duties. on saturday the rescue boat arrived in the spanish island of new york with the now hospitalized my one woman and the two lifeless bodies. they say politics came before she minutes hereon assistance the rescue group says it was denied proper help which made their four day journey across the mediterranean longer than needed don't they dahlia both italy and mata refused to let us disembark the corpses on the ground they only wanted to take charge of the medical evaluation but they did not accept the bodies the libyan coast guard denies the accusations it says it rescued one hundred sixty five migrants in that same area

his parents and five after five months in the shelter the child took his first steps spoke his first words first birthday while in detention. they told me what we are going to do is take away your child to separate you from your child i asked them well you going to do that the child is too young but they told me because you cannot be in the united states you cannot go further with the child you cannot enter the u.s. with him. he had his birthday over there he will not turn one year old again that has passed and i missed it when he learned to walk that's not going to happen again either i missed that because of them they should not have done that he is a baby he can't defend himself he's not an adult to say he does not want that so if he wants anything. now a left leaning faction of the democratic party in the u.s. has been gaining momentum in recent months they call themselves the democratic socialists the most prominent among them is senator bernie sanders he's an

independent but considers himself a social democrat making him the only one in congress alexandria ocasio cortez's the rising star of the democratic socialists last month the congressional candidate pulled off a stunning victory against a prominent house democrat in new york in all forty people are running for offices at federal state and local levels who have the formal endorsement of the democratic socialists of america earlier i spoke to now he is a democratic socialist he is a member of the hawaii state legislature he's also running for a seat in the u.s. congress asked him first to explain what it means to be a democratic socialist. democratic socialism is not so much about centralizing or within any he's in the government or corporations but more of just making sure that our he's shifted back to the people that supposed to be represented on the

democratic side on the socialist side just making sure her basic needs are met if the democrats for too long have been focused on process and the frames that the right used like they used to justify cutting programs that help working people and will thing for profits and really need to be folks in the conversation back to human need and whiling and why if that is the case that in the bridges country in the history of the world we still have so many homeless and uninsured and you know folks with out of basic their basic human rights in america and i get them here because there's to interrupt you for a second here's the thing when you talk about shifting power not quite sure what that means does it mean in real terms for example if you're a socialist that means free education a point of delivery free health care a point of delivery nationalizing the railway network for example you will never manage to get those ideas to take off in america evah but for my generation i think the stakes are really high you know it used to be the case that you can get get out

of high school or college and beyond proper homeownership might this trip eight hundred thousand dollars for an average home making two hundred thousand dollars a year so just the basic applications of what it means the pursuit of happiness and that american dream is just out of reach i think apple is mostly just what with raisins there and strolled both parties in congress for a party long and the only way to really great that it will is a stand up to corporate donors and that's why a lot of folks that are running as a credible which they are also that same candidates for any question i mean that's all we're running a race and when we've all been working people giving five and thirty dollars at a time you know where else that i will have to choose between the orders he brought in and the donors because. the only reason why democrats at any rate of them are that they're afraid of big donors and when i talk about ship in power back to the people that's what i mean rejecting their money and standing squarely with the working people that are you know our salaries they stolen from us cuba is said to

use present predicament horsed zero for federal interior minister and long time party leader his plan for tougher border controls and an accelerated program of deporting failed asylum seekers pleases the far right but it's also galvanized the left and center left. in opposition and some analysts say some of his ideas seem to be a serious threat to civil liberties it is a very slippery slope in that sense that you gradually have a degree de sion of off the rule of law and of human rights because if you look for instance at the. media coverage of migrants and especially here more right wing media you see that you have they don't see migrants as humans anymore they see them as an issue such thoughts seem quite distant and sunny guess often the c.s.u. insists instead it's based on humanitarian pragmatic policies but as october's

election draws nearer perhaps that pragmatism may well be tested dominant cane al-jazeera in bavaria. wildfires are raging across the baltics and the nordic region part of the world better known perhaps for its colder weather latvia has had to evacuate a village as it struggles to stop a huge peat fire after months of throat forced to declare a national emergency sweden is experiencing its worst drought in seventy four years and it needs help to prevent a bigger disaster. as more. firefighters in sweden say their battle for control is far from over remarkably nobody's been injured by the dozens of wildfires. the government's appeals for help from other countries italy france and norway have responded by sending water boarding helicopters and planes as well as emergency personnel reeling and. government is ready to take all necessary decisions and supply all needed resources our duties to support all
