a kind of unifying figure on the not just the century gone but the extreme political forces likely to endorse him as prime minister. well that is the fault here of the president of the law that he is the cruel since they can't come to being conceded independent in such a volatile thailand divided political climate like the one in the moment and this was brought about by interventions by the civil society organizations and activist as well as religious leaders including the ground by a total ali al sistani who said forget about this big killing over who was most seats in parliament because we cannot be able to tell who the small a person is following. this big blocks that have emerged including that is who is also allied to the current prime minister and also maliki and all the other.

a quarter mile to a game for spurring the trial of a ship's captain who rescues people making the dangerous mediterranean crossing x.p. to rishis ship in the m.v. lifeline is one of three vessels run by n.g.o.s which are being held in ports meaning all the ngo sponsored rescue ships in the mediterranean have been stopped from operating two ships are detained on meltzer a tiny island state off the african coast which is the smallest member of the european union it has received nineteen thousand people since two thousand and two almost all were rescued at sea the numbers of those attempting to cross have fallen since the engineer ships were barred from operating but official figures make clear the result one thousand seven hundred have died at sea since the beginning of twenty eighty the fokker reports from malta capital. the lifeline is in limbo the refugee rescue ship speedy impounded here for one

hundred days. the volunteer crews played a vital role in saving thousands of lives but the multis all thought he ses being carrying out missions without a proper license there is simply no independent mines from the long central mediterranean route specially bear witness to how many people drown in. the ship's german captain was in court on choose day he faces a possible prison sentence proceedings were adjourned to december this case is all about the maltese government wanted to send a european message to n.g.o.s don't think if you see because they're not welcome so they're picking on a legal technicality to send abroad a political message with the support of their opinion makes me very angry. if this is europe. i had another impression from europe before but. just a big voice and not to work on the reasons why the people escaped from their homes

this is the wrong way the lifelines not the only private aid ship impounded in bolter this is the sea watch the crew say they're being held in arbitrary detention all the while more lives are at risk on sunday the multis or thirty's brought fifty eight people ashore including eighteen children and a pregnant woman they were transferred from another rescue ship the aquarius also no longer allowed to operate it's been stripped of its license and ordered to the french port of must say there are now no more private rescue ships operating in the area used for crossings from libya to europe smugglers are setting off from the coast of libya in increasingly flimsy vessels packed full of people often setting sail without any intention of making it to shore hoping that they'll be picked up by boat sight these but now there are fewer and fewer vessels on the water able and willing to save lives. rafique islam was rescued from the mediterranean by the

maltese coast guard the end of a two and a half year journey from bangladesh by libya and you saw these people dying. from day board and on ports on dumping in order to fellow travellers died on route it's a journey maybe a willing to risk everything for them for the promise of very little. their very survival hangs on help that. we've barkha al-jazeera bolter the mouth of a small town in southern italy whose publicly welcomed migrants for years has been placed under house arrest on charges of aiding illegal immigration many kohler cano who is known by his nickname of memo was arrested as part of a government investigation protests against his arrest aren't taking place in one polls one of the accusations is reportedly arranging marriages of convenience store

allow migrants to remain in italy but joining us now via skype from rome chile such a lotta assistant professor of international relations and global politics at the american university of rome can you first of all explain a little bit about what this mayor is kind of famous for and how he came to the forefront really of being sort of pro migrant. ok so they were the first of all memorable crandell became famous because he imbedded and promoted a model which has been say copied and studied roman you know by people from all over the word actually he sees two thousand and four he welcomes six thousand people coming from twenty different countries in he i mean he is sort of building these model whereby the local population benefit that greatly from the arrival of the mcgrath so just to give an example from are schools which have been closed

because the words and children to make that viable where we opened a lot of businesses which were struggling benefited from the arrival people who i mean the refugees that immigrants who anyway were given the chance to learn italian to get professional training and eventually create employment and development where there was not because that's another very important thing we're talking about an area we're talking about calabria an area where the reason extremely high rate of unemployment we're talking about up to fifty eight percent unemployment rate among the youth not to mention the of crime in. such euro so this really was a wonderful model and i suppose looking from the outside it's perhaps because of what he was doing and because there is quite a certainly within the ruling party an empty migrant sentiment is this what he's fallen foul. or are there are people thinking these allegations are actually

founded. so first of all we must say that this investigation was actually started before the current government came to power so we can really say these was a political aside by the government athol the fraud of course the current government does welcome these developments salvini was extremely happy about that he said you see like you could see that you know these motel which was this rock thing is not ready abouts you know immigrants being the problem and not the solution to be you know collapse actually so i wouldn't say it's a political a sock. we should also remember though that lucado was not particularly loved by the previous government either so i would say the problem is that he is whatever he did and he does brings about these model of integration as well as the model for local developments that actually council eavesdrops these remunerate cvs

electorally reviewed and ready if not already of above the immigrants and there's been a danger that honestly tell the people i'm basically that have been protest as i said in naples it seems to be dividing the population as many people that might be protesting on his behalf i'm guessing there's and i have very large factions they are competing with the investigation into his behavior. yes absolutely i mean there is these that we can witness is sort of polarisation over disease should many people i must say from my personal experience being from the same region of look i know how much they made people especially from the region are supporting. supporting the mayor they are convinced that these will eventually you know all the charges will be dismissed as a matter of fact they made the most important and serious charges were already dismissed. on the other hand you have. like supporters of the

lego and also of the five star movement who are actually saying that you know this was a motel what we should be careful about what we consider a model because you know look what it what happened to him right so we're seeing these different narratives of play and fascinating as well as cecilia such a lot of thank you so much for your thank you piece in turkey are investigating the disappearance of a prominent sound journalist jamal khashoggi fiance says he was visiting the saudi consulate in istanbul but never came out he's a prominent critic of the saudi government and running for several western publications including the washington post the guardian fled saudi arabia just over a year ago. so it's a comment. on john hendren injury cano we're affordable housing is wind link and

a to have almost tripled this summer with thirteen hundred cases reported in august alone according to save the children. there are reports that u.s. president donald chung pelt his parents had millions of dollars on tax returns according to the new york times trump received the equivalent today of at least four hundred thirteen million dollars from his father's real estate business and says he set up a fake corporation with his siblings to disguise millions in a gift from their parents the times says its investigation looked to more than two hundred tax returns from fred trump and his companies have returns he now joins us live from washington d.c. general what more can you tell us about this particular report in the times and is that significant. hugely significant if one is concerned about the self-proclaimed origin story of donald trump the new york times says it pored over hundreds of thousands of documents very private tax returns financial statements

and documents and filings in the public records and discovered that donald trump's story that he told on the campaign trail during the election was false he didn't make his fortune having been given a one million dollar loan from his father in one nine hundred seventy five and built that into a multibillion dollar international empire in fact as you said he received over time in today's money the equivalent of four hundred thirteen million dollars which and he used that in order to build up his his empire in fact the new york times points out that by the age of three he was already earning the equivalent of about two hundred thousand dollars a year because of his father's his father's gifts to him in fact new york times also says that if don't you haven't done anything if it just invest about four hundred thirty million dollars in an index tracking fund of the s. and p. five hundred he'd be worth some two billion dollars today and some of said that given that we don't know much about his finances those who cost question who had

questions about how much he actually is worth some of that might have been better than his fantastic deal making that he always talks about the second part of that there is also very serious the new york times saying that fraud was used the law was broken this was tax evasion not tax avoidance in trying to try to protect that money. again through the building up of sham corporations under valuing real estate holdings and tax evasion so that's very serious as well. don't trump lawyers told the new york times this is one hundred percent false and highly defamatory but they did suggest some sort of weird defense they said well actually they're the trump family delegated a lot of the stuff to tax professionals. he's still going to be handing that kind of money at the age of three and then of course there are reports the new york state taxation department is reviewing these allegations are going to be very strange of their worms and these are pretty explosive allegations the statute of limitations on criminal prosecution has powers these transactions all took place in

the ninety's however a civil action could still be taken by the i r r s about some issue that we'll be looking at a member or other questions here in washington about what happens if they the democrats do particularly well in the november midterms will very them convene various investigations with subpoena power to look into all of this so this will just adds to the various legal problems for donald trump several investigations several court cases on the way relating not just allegations of russian collusion and so on but also to trump's finances so this is just another one to put on the pile of potentially many fantasy have response to that lie for us in washington d.c. now online retail giant amazon has raised its minimum wage for workers in the u.s. on the u.k. something in november imus's lowest paid this week we see fifteen dollars an hour ali get one trillion dollars amazon has been facing pressure to increase pay and move has been welcomed by u.s.

politicians including bernie sanders who says the company should follow its lead. it is no secret that i have been a harsh critic of the wage and employment practices of the amazon and its owner jeff bezos it has been my view that the middle class and working families of this country should not have to subsidize mr biggs owns the wealthiest person on earth because the wages he has paid his employees on so low on the many of them afford to go on food stamps medicaid. subsidized housing and other governmental programs today i want to give credit where credit is due and i want to congratulate mr bezos for doing exactly the right thing. from washington d.c. this move by amazon could have an impact on the u.s. economy it's one of the larger employers here in the united states three hundred

fifty thousand full part time seasonal workers and they're going to see a pretty sizable increase and they're also saying that those who make more than fifteen dollars an hour will also see a pay increase now by the way those works here in the united states is there's a federal minimum wage that no company can pay the workers less than seven dollars and twenty five cents an hour some counties in some states and some cities have increase that minimum wage there but nationwide it's seven dollars and twenty five cents obviously fifty dollars an hour is quite a bit more than that anderson has been under pressure to do this in part because the founder and owner of the company is basically the richest man in the world his jeff bezos is worth hundreds sixty five billion dollars and amazon is a very profitable company and one quarter just last quarter they made two point five billion dollars in profits and so there's been a lot of especially progressive people saying they need to lead the way they need to set an example they need to pay their workers more in an attempt to address this wide gap an income inequality in the united states. in some of the most part

prosperous cities in one of the richest nations in the world many americans live in poverty and they will to find affordable housing for more than a century thousands of chicago locals have been spared from homelessness by inexpensive single room hotels but this john hendren reports from chicago these are fast disappearing. for many this is the difference between home and homelessness have in this place it gave me a broad vision on why the room is about the size of the prison cell ernest roberts once occupied but for less than five hundred dollars this diminutive dome is sile his home they make him productive citizens out of people if there was a call was this place it put a lot of people back on our own street by doing car by doing jewel by doing a lot of negative things. across the united states homes like this are disappearing

in one nine hundred fifteen chicago had thirty seven hundred single room occupancy hotels like this one spartan space at bargain prices with a bathroom down the hall there are now just sixty left although the number of s.r.o. has the client and the need for it has actually increase because the number of homeless and the number of poor people needing s.r.o. housing is graphed rapidly increasing chicago passed an ordinance to protect s r o's three years ago requiring sellers to first consider buyers who would preserve them as as are rose but with real estate prices rising they're now selling faster than ever thirty six since the law passed and it's not just happening here what chicago has experience has been experience also in philadelphia san francisco los angeles new york and they all go through the same situations where you have politicians who want to cater to the well to do and they will sacrifice the

poor to accommodate those who have more money some their windowless walls topped by wire cages for ventilation are known as cage hotels the wilson man's hotel is closing for renovations and when it reopens there will be fewer rooms and they'll go from three hundred twenty dollars a piece to eight hundred dollars and up so many people here are going to have to find a new place and for some that could mean the street is single room hotels have closed chicago's homeless problem has increased when i was coming of the wood a lot of the. gangs. so. solomon johnson used his tiny room is a bridge from one life to another that's the good thing about everybody's work is single room hotels disappear that's a bridge that each year fewer americans are able to cross john hendren al jazeera

chicago the u.k.'s former foreign secretary boris johnson has the british government to abandon its current breck's it plan and get out properly from the european union his speech on the sidelines of the annual gathering of the ruling conservative party was a blatant challenge to prime minister is a may pole banner reports from burning up. a queue outside a hole number one began forming more than two hours early some have doubts about boris johnson's political future others see him as a potential prime minister. no thank you can draw a crowd like no other in the current conservative party and it was his defiant rejection of the prime minister's checkers plan for brics it which most excited his loyal audience think what we could do if we had proper free trade deals and that is why it is so sad and so desperately wrong that we are preparing to

agree terms with brussels that would make it much more difficult if not impossible to do such deals. and that's why it was such a mistake of us two is such a mistake of us to lead the to leave only the checkers terms locked in the truck to be the illness johnson is the rock star of this three judge banks attracting the audience is very steady but his appearance here i underline just how divisive a character i just how deep the struggle for practice within this party i choose days flagship policy statements on immigration and visa reform a total eclipse by bosses appearance and his totec status among bricks its supporters continuously undermines the prime minister with a crucial e.u. summit just a couple of weeks away yes police officer a and there is some undermining of the pm but i think hillary sees absolutely

pushing for what we made and i think at the moment the conservative party teammate somebody with a little bit more personality really pushing forward some of the key issues and i think boris is actually the person today that he raises some very good points he's his heart's in the right place he's trying to challenge what's being done there always are doing it some of us agree with him some of us don't to very very most people actually think that what has become the of the annual bora show the iran issue the day he makes a funny speech and then goes again we're trailed along with it by the world's media actually it's a bit of a distraction one of boris johnson's aides predicted he would hit this conference like a ninja but this was more smash and grab and stealth attack paul brennan al-jazeera birmingham. mexicans are holding events to mount the fiftieth anniversary of the. code massacre dozens possibly hundreds of students were killed when security forces

from i don't protest as days before mexico's first olympic games in one thousand nine hundred eight the students were. calling for the release of political prisoners for decades mexican authorities deny responsibility for the killings but last week the government recognized the state was behind the massacre john hellman is live for us now at a protest in mexico to say see what has been happening to mark this fiftieth anniversary of this massacre. was going to be eventful day burd a march right now that's going to come from where the massacre actually happened in the past of the last two days computers and into mexico city's main square but all through the day there's been sort of memory and says remember this is of this through dance through speeches the president elect and his men will lopez obrador actually came to the event in the morning and he promised not to use repression state repression again on social movements and protests in the country when he gets

to power you mentioned there that the current government or government body recognized that this was a state crime that's really important in mexico because for successive decades really this was something that governments try to cover up really rather than let the truth come out about what had happened remember there were snipers on the roof of the building behind this plaza and the army in front of them and the two groups seemed to attack the students and it didn't and there we were talking to a survivor just the other day that was thrown in prison it was a student leader for three years after that and he said that he suffered all sorts of mental and physical torture so this is a huge deal that it's finally been recognized and what they say about this tragedy overstay hof essentially going to happen they still resonates for mexicans mexicans today.
