battling one political crisis after another gone to aimed at being a stabilizing force between 2 vastly different political parties the far right league and the anti establishment 5 star movement it proved to be an impossible task and qantas said he would be offering his resignation but there was no question over who he thought was responsible. let me say that interior minister told me has showed that he is following his own interests and those of his party. in a blistering attack against any country accused him of unleashing further turmoil and in doing so endangering italy's already started to con a me but the leak party leader was unrepentant. i would do again everything i did everything with the great strength of being a free man therefore it means i'm not afraid of the judgment of the italians overshadowing this impasse has been my terror cell beanies own political agenda vocally anti migrant he's also waged war on the n.g.o.s that have attempted to

rescue asylum seekers crossing the mediterranean and it's a tactic that has had success support for his views have increased across the country turning his party into a force that cannot be ignored. in the middle of this political drama the spanish rescue vessel hovering off the coast of lampedusa with dozens of vulnerable people on board for more than 2 weeks they have not been given permission to disembark the open arms vessel repeatedly requested permission to dock despite continued rejection or someone board became so frantic they risked their own lives by jumping into the sea attempting to swim to land they were rescued by nearby italian coast guard vessels. on tuesday a local prosecutor visited the vessel and issued an emergency measure allowing it to dock and it was but this is one incident among many others despite tough new

laws preventing such landings they still arrive desperate for safety in europe no matter the cost of reaching their. rome now dozens of migrants who were stranded on a rescue ship off the tally in island of lampedusa for nearly 3 weeks have come ashore that sought a prosecutor has ordered the body to be allowed to dock the open arms rescue ship arrived at lampedusa sobber harbor a few hours ago in spain and 5 european union nations have offered to take the men . the u.s. state department has approved plans to sell $830.00 in dollar's worth of at 16 fighter jets to taiwan and congress is expected to give the green light to finalize the deal strongly opposes any arms deal with taiwan which it sees as a breakaway province but let's get more on this i corresponded to gaven any zonda is joining us live from washington d.c. it could be the largest on sale in 20 years for the island of cape what are they buying. yeah they're buying quite a few f.

16 fighter jets not one not 2 not even 10 this deal calls for the sale of 66 at 66 f. 16 fighter jets to taiwan it's where as you mentioned worth about $8.00 to $1000000000.00 this is a huge huge a purchase by the taiwanese and as you mentioned it's the biggest purchase of any military hardware in about 20 years or so so this is very significant in that way and we've been hearing rumblings of this for several days now in washington and elsewhere but it was on tuesday that the white house sent a formal memorandum over to the congress saying that they were going to go forward with this it's expected to pass congress without any problems now this is part of a bigger play by the white house and this trumpet ministration to improve ties with taiwan we can see that since trump has taken office he's sent high level

delegations to taiwan the u.s. has opened up diplomatic offices in taipei and the top administration supported pro taiwan legislation as well so this is all part of that and this is just now the biggest sort of most high profile way that the trump administration is really getting better relations with with taiwan previous administrations the obama administration bush administration even going back to the clinton ministration have considered arms sales in this nature to tell. and but if shied away from it for the most part in fear of agitating the chinese but clearly that's not the strategy of the donald trump administration this is another sign of him really wanting to help taiwan and china indeed agitated gave their asking the u.s. to immediately cancel the sale yeah they are as you wouldn't as you'd probably expect china's not very happy about this it's unclear but if u.s. so backtrack at all but probably not the china daily newspaper they're owned by the

communist party in china called the sale of these sixteen's to taiwan a sends a seriously eroni this signals they said and then a taiwan foreign ministry official said actually on monday one more was getting out about this he said nobody should underestimate our will and ability to safeguard our natural sovereignty and it to arrest or terrorists territorial integrity excuse me so the chinese are very upset about this is you can imagine and what's interesting to see how this will play out when the ongoing trade war between the u.s. and china how china could possibly retaliate they could. extend these trade talks that could be a possible retaliation by the chinese it's unclear if they're going to do this but it comes a very sensitive time with economic and diplomatic relations between the u.s. and china so up to see how this plays out in the coming days and weeks so i gave thank you very much that gave you any zonder live in washington d.c.

campaign it's not clear if the rebels have been subjected to heavy fire power are exhausted or if the army is using better tactics like concentrating the strikes close to the front lines and on rebel supply routes but the relentless airstrikes and partment continue to force people into displacement in recent days more than 25000 are believed to have moved north closer to the border with turkey war monitors and activists say over 700000 syrians are homeless since the military escalation began in late april of. the past few days witnessed on president the bombardment that is why the people who didn't leave during the 1st months of the offensive back everything and left most of them believe that houses will either be fully destroyed or taken over by the regime. the bombardment of opposition held towns across southern libya continues as the syrian government presses on with its offensive there have been more civilian casualties as rebels

extradition rules that have expanded and to a wider movement against beijing's growing influence. we're going to get more on one of our top stories breaking news this hour the child sex abuse convictions held against cardinal george pell let's go to gloria calais she's a journalist in melbourne she was in court and she's joining us live from there to tell us what happened in court gloria. elizabeth so this was a much anticipated decision we saw cardinal george pell brought into the court before the 3 judges of the court of appeals here in victoria now with a summary of what is a more than 300 page decision made by the judges now in that summary we could see that essentially cardinal george tells you against his conviction was

rejected out of that's 3 judges 2 of the judges. panel of judges decided that there wasn't enough evidence that they were happy and thought that it was reasonable what the jury had decided when they found cardinal george pell guilty now he's a legal team was appealing on 3 grounds one of those grounds was that it was reasonable for the jury to have come to the guilty verdict that they came to the other 2 grounds that cardinal george pell wasn't a ranger he didn't enter a plea but. before. age before the potential jurors and the other one that was that he that he's defense wanted to put an animation video the courts reach the chief judge at the county court decided that and that he wouldn't allow that because essentially it was new evidence i'm sorry i'm daughter's blacks

and browns the judges all 3 of them agreed that there was no grounds for appeal. but when it came to whether or not it's the jury could have come to a reasonable decision 2 of the judges decided that the jury did come to a reasonable decision whereas one of the judges decided that it was a great symbol for the jury that they couldn't have come to that verdict without having any very simple doubts now essentially treated juan that means that he has lost he's appeal which means that cardinal george pell shortly will be taken back to the mill 4 that assessment prison where he's been since he was convicted. of doing it it's a decision that's being watched very closely around the world because he is of course the highest ranking vatican official to be found guilty of child sex abuse what happens now. that's exactly right there's been intense media interest in this way whited out for quite some time to

actually get into the court this morning the father most sure if you can see behind me is filled with media by local and international media who have an interest in this because as you say he is the highest ranking catholic official convicted of child sex abuse the child sex abuse so there's been intense interest in this now what this means for cardinal george pell is that it may not be entirely he could potentially take it to the high court and once again appeal but again my understanding is that it will be up. so the high court to decide whether or not they think there's enough grounds for it to go before the high court so well today for many of the survivor is of child sex abuse including the out one of the out victims a vote in this particular case the complaint and all of this case against george pell it is that my mentor is time for them and many of them will be plays that

george pell who will be spending time in child will be $81.00 in the before he's eligible to get out of jail but again it depends now on whether or not they decide to take it to the high court if they do then this isn't always that yes doria thank you for that as gloria can live and now than thank you. still ahead on the bombs and the calls for an investigation and obama after more than 30 bodies were buried with valentine into cation and an experience and darkness we explore washington is unique there's a performance that audiences meant to watch for a different sense of.

a local charity saying they were identified and and claimed it was a coma there is negligence on the part of the government the government should have announced to the public the existence of these bodies deny to use must be conducted to determine their identities so that they can be returned to their rightful relatives. human rights groups are accusing the government of covering up possible sectarian violence about 250 bodies have been given to the same charity for burial 2016 the governor of baba province says they're from the area and their cause of death range from what he calls terrorism to murder. suspicions have been raised because witnesses say the bodies are likely from a sunni dominated town called jurf elza har it was once controlled by eisel during the battle to defeat it she got paramilitary groups are accused of killing
