most controversial moments as president hooting his response to white nationalist protests in charlottesville when trump claimed both sides of the trouble were supposed to stand up to discrimination and was sure as heck supposed to stand up clearly and unequivocally to nazi sympathizers. how hard can that be saying that marx's are bad obama's attack comes as trump is also campaigning for republicans in north dakota trump responded i'm sorry i watched it but i fell asleep. he shot back at obama who said the economic recovery started under his presidency if the democrats got in with their agenda in november of almost two years ago and said that having four point two

hundreds of african migrants who were released from a detention center close to the fighting have again been detained. has their story . to another these migrants say their life hasn't changed much from. eritrea and somalia like most of them twenty three years old mary and her baby girl rehana were rescued off the coast of libya months ago she wants to dreamt of reaching italy but indeed with about two thousand others in detention close to the fighting in tripoli and other countries and we stayed five months in the previous detention center before the shelling came close to us then supervisors there opened the gates and ordered us to leave after being out many were soon rounded up and sent to a new detention center away from the fighting supervisors say they have saved the

migrants lives but in this new detention center they can't afford to take care of them any longer. our detention center can't receive any more migrants in fact we can't feed all these people expenses were covered by donors the last couple of days these african migrants are not the only people of lead the areas affected by the fighting many libyan families had to leave their homes two others remain stuck there and no one can reach them except some aid agencies. look to the malik middle seat and his team of paramedics carry aid in their ambulances they hope it will reach trapped civilians. we've also set up to hospitals near the clashes areas which would casualties and afterwards we take them to hospitals. the recent fighting for control of tripoli started in the southern

you can't satisfy their expectations it's hard it weighs on you you're in an empty place and finally you think you should have stayed in africa for france recently toughened its immigration law and increased police border checks migrants are regularly sent back to spain for many people in this region the situation is an echo of their own past in one nine hundred thirty six during the spanish civil war a battle in iran led to hundreds of people to flee their homes across this river and seek refuge in farms. sat on a beach in a foreign country spanish refugees watched their town burn either how the communist party and the love they gave. fortunately there are some people here who are aware that some people have to leave their countries for safety or to have a better life in this region we have our past in our history and they had left their mark on us. so far european league. does have failed to agree on

make any difference to a lot of the type of films being made because netflix will keep on saying you can make the film as you want. here at venice is industry section business is brisk as people look for a deal to support their films or their ideas more and more of those deals are being struck with online platforms like netflix and amazon which means more fields that the public can choose to see either at the cinema or on devices like their smartphones. but the man heading this part of the festival rejects worries that netflix will make it harder for independent filmmakers to break through i would say netflix is not so for us choice for them but for some us approach jarome something like that of course we are more looking to have to make business was that x. or amazon netflix didn't have anyone for us to talk to in venice but they could end up with a winner alfonso koran's nine hundred seventy s.
