2:20 am
been a fallback position if one is able to solve this conundrum if one finds the solution and we said we would probably find it in the next 2 years to come but we can also maybe find it in the next 30 days then we're one step further in the right direction and we obviously have to put our all into this 2 people have been killed in indian administered kashmir in the 1st gun battle between separatists and security forces since new delhi revoked its autonomy indian police say an officer and a rebel fighter were killed in the bottom of the district. but as in hong kong are rallying into the night they gathered at a train station to commemorate an attack on demonstrators in july. and hong kong protests were held outside the u.k. consulate to demand the release of a consulate staff member detained on the mainland china's foreign ministry says simon chiang will spend 15 days in what it calls administrative detention chang went missing on august the 9th. and those the had lines the news continues here on
2:21 am
2:22 am
hello and welcome to the program. august is normally a quiet month for italians a chance to enjoy the summer holidays but politicians have been forced back to work to contain a crisis prime minister has resigned accusing the interior minister mateus of any of sinking of the coalition government for personal and political gain salvini and his farm. popularity is on the rise for being tough on immigration he wants to force a snap election but it's not straightforward as that a sunny explains from rome. as leader of the government had overseen one of the most challenging coalitions in recent times battling one political crisis after another contests aimed at being a stabilizing force between 2 vastly different political parties the far right leak 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
2:23 am
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 engineers 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
2:24 am
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 in lump it was out 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 sunny day all al-jazeera rome.
2:25 am
let's bring in our guests all from rome. is an italian polish journalist and a 1000000 or de blasio is a professor of political science. buteux university welcome to the program alberta now that's prime minister just the conti has resigned opening the country to martin of options what do you think is the more likely scenario for the country . well everything is in the hands of. the republik said john mark there in that was a very wise man the question everybody is not if we will go to elections but how and when we will go to elections so the prospect of a snap election seems to be phasing away and probably will go to elections in a few months with somehow a direction by the presence of the republic a 1000000 or are we headed towards a political impasse in italy or do you still still see the possibility of for
2:26 am
example of a caretaker government. yes we are political impasse there is a possibility for a government in defense obviously from the many strengths inside the b.d.a. the democratic party but also from the volunteer on the 5 star movements because oxalate seems that we have a couple of possibility right there on the path the 1st one is ok we can have a national coalition and composed by 5 some movements and i'm quite a lot while the 2nd one could be government lead by 5 some movements and supported by democratic party and the extreme left it's all these are sort of the very center of this whole saga now is ill capital as his supporters call him. salvini alberto why do you think moto is moving towards
2:27 am
this direction well it could be time of the captain as you recall is a very strong figure is the typical strong man that the right movement would like to see in power there are some reasons why 1st of all we have to take into account that in the real country the real masses of italians which are now following so the want him to be forming a new government we have heard some of the rounds of local elections in italy where the league which is party climbed up to some 40 percent 38 to 40 percent of political consensus while the 5 star movement who used to be sold been his partner in the government went down dramatically from 32 to 17 percent so the reason why sabina was to go for snap elections is because he wants to cash in he wants to capitalize it somehow from these extreme strong wave or political consensus has got
2:28 am
in the country. a 1000000 and i mean if you remember when this whole coalition came together. it was a myth a feeling that the league along with the 5 star movement would bring about genuine radical change of the country suddenly have the captain salvini. ditching his partner is this something which could widely be seen in the political establishment as an act of political betrayal. it's the 1st time ever to top in a crisis like that by the way even if we did know from the very beginning that stick all ition was very challenging because the 2 soldiers of the coalition 5 star movement and the league the former north league levy by the me are extremely different i mean the north league the former north league the actual negro is
2:29 am
sovereign is movement more lean to the. industry in the north while the fast our movement was. i mean it was a movement beginning from the people man started from there very often. that very 2 different political parties that started these qualities and also facing the european union intention they had a completely different thing tension ok so we end the sense in that that actually was a very strange and challenging collision that obviously i was aware to stated before the personality on my tail selenium rise up even if i want to add something just to quote yes he wants to optimize political consensus consensus among this passion of the european election but also he wants to escape from the financial stable low. because we do know that needs 23
2:30 am
billions according to the european union and the manse and so now italy done that doesn't have 23000000000 and you don't want to i mean to to record or to any measure we will talk more about that particular. is it fair to say that 5 star movement is the biggest loser in this political move by salvini. well to to to say if there will be delusions we'll have to wait and see what will happen the next 2 weeks because it's been losing consensus in the country as i was mentioning be lost from 32 down to a miserable 17 and in some cases 12 percent in local elections but at the moment they still have a strong majority in the national parliament so if surge of matter allows the press in a town republic decides not to go for elections in the anything in the nation it will
2:31 am
strain still preserve damage already in the argument and they will be able to form a new coalition government with the democratic the sole they're not exactly losers but they know that they have to do something in order not to be pushed out of the parliament in order to get back to the parliament which is a much smaller much smaller portion of the italian consensus in 1000000 spoke earlier about one of the possibilities which is. along with matteo renzi who is the. leader of the center left democratic party coming together is this alliance an option what do they have in common. i mean it is an option by the way even if we have to precised that the secretary of the democratic party no i days is not there and month. by the majority
2:32 am
of the party of the democratic party are needed by my. so i think that an alliance is possible because the 2 parties don't want to go to the political exile us on the other that there was 34 i mean they're losing consensus around the county so they don't want to write to the election nowadays be newt alberto do you see this possibility the 2 big egos demaio and matteo renzi coming together despite the fact they're just. few days ago the possibility for them coming together was almost impossible. well you know it'll ease at its roots a catholic country so maybe it it could get together if they're able to forgive each other you know the sense of forgiving is at the center of italian culture but in terms of possibility that they come together many political observers said that if you put my tail raincy which was prime minister true governments ago together
2:33 am
with. luigi dimaggio it could be like putting water together with oil so it's quite uncommon to see them together but it's the whole of the democratic party which has a 1000000 was mentioning is not only meant to rancy but many many other barons many other colonists as a call them so there is a possibility of a new coalition democratic party plus fast as movement was definitely looks impossible at the moment is that they get back to the table the lega any. i think that there is a fracture and there is the disappear ation is definite it and it's important that they get back to the table a 1000000 a why would be such an 80 within the political establishment in italy when all political commentators have been saying this year that the only thing in common between the 5 star movement and the league is themselves being anti
2:34 am
establishment but apart from that they have nothing in the current incumbent and the potential for them to depart their ways is very strong. there is a big anxiety because probably we didn't respect a crisis in the middle of the for cation those this year bought yes they have nothing in common still even that they've been the income and also the vision of the european union they don't i mean come on the vision on the economic receive years they don't even having come on the vision of the measures of the growth of italy so either you were stuck so i can understand the crisis and i can understand these divorce that is getting power like yesterday we did i mean. without for mation of the prime means of the legal prime minister which is gone so content off easily divorce we divorced with much else and being young site is related to the
2:35 am
fact that we are not sure that the government is possible even or even if settlement i'm sure the president of the republic wants to carry young these legislator because would be a disaster for italy to go to election in italy i mean we assisted to our continue campaign for more than a here lead by. i mean i don't think that we can stay stuck on the political communication we need to do something i mean we need to to find an agreement with the european union we're out of that out that of the european union life now and we also need to find a way to or being our political if the italians are looking forward to rebuild the political life of this is going to be my question to alberta. why is subtly salvini becoming. somehow a savior for many italian is because people are fed up with decades of center right
2:36 am
center left government bureaucracy dysfunctional political establishments easy brisson to get alternative for the italians. well that is mainly 2 reasons why selby is so strong the moment the 1st reason is start at the center left governments minimized the momentum of the cultural. the cultural problem there is with immigration in italy in many many suburbia in many many urban areas immigration is causing some problems up in depression of difference and cultures even of micro criminality which is rising and the center left governments always minimized without taking measures so even if something has got no clear idea of the problem the simple fact that is very vocal against immigration made him extremely popular the 2nd reason the standards traditionally speaking the enter printers and the companies and the strong economic powers which
2:37 am
has always been backing so binnie from the laws now claiming to be better represented so somehow they asked him to pull the plug to the government to go for the elections in order to ensure that to productive not obviously that is beneteau that is long word that is liguori which are full of intrapreneur as far back and so they can get a better voice and can be better heard in the italian government so one reason is economical the other one is cultural it 1000000 or i mean being vocal strong aggressive in pursuing a political agenda is something people want to understand but ultimately i think it's all used to understand that you know someone who's a problem out is to be able to solve the country's political and economic problems and this is a country that needs to put itself within the framework of the e.u. to move forward why would it talia's believe suddenly events with salvini someone who would like to distance itself from europe could be
2:38 am
a savior of the nation. ok. yes i mean italians were always fascinated by a strong leader by a person that could solve everything i mean we have an example few years ago with matteo renzi i mean you reach the 40 percent of the european elections and now we're seen you see pretty much the same thing with even if the communication is pretty much different and so obviously also the political issues are pretty much the friend. but even if we are fascinating then we have to see i mean a perfectly what we will do obviously we still have a consensus i mean even if the consensus seems pretty must different from the percent folly of political election and the majority on the parliament so if you love the consensus we don't know how. is going to put together i
2:39 am
mean the need of the telly to grow i mean not only i mean economically in italy nice towards a socially i mean we also have a big difference inside if for example we have a north east studies at the maximum level of the european union while the south is completely separated from the standard of europe so we still have this problem but this those problems i mean. come from very far away and i don't think that saladin is going to sorted out from them even if obviously surfin a very important issue i mean it never section in the perception of the italians the surfing a very sly for example me gratian which is important in or europe of but obviously is producing different answers all over ok europe are better i mean it's quite obvious that salvini so that his party doubled its seats in the european parliament as head you know what we could also do it with the political landscape in italy and
2:40 am
then if we go to any snap election we will be able easily to double our seats here's the question if we can win the election and manages to form a governing coalition when it comes to the e.u. are started to rules that he says he's opposed to and the italy is that what what is he what is he offering here to say. to fix these 2 issues. well been a sick anomic idea on the contrary of what the firestones movement things are for expansion growth of national product and in measures which should encourage further the in the companies in the enterprises but these could be done according to so the nice advisor even without solving the problem at the moment of the italian public debt which is were recalled will have to remember that doubled in germany's germany travels around 60 percent or provisions or between the public
2:41 am
debt dept and the gross national product france is around $100.00 and we are at $130.00 which is double than germany so in a sense this is not a problem we have to expand economy to expand the g. and b. and we will succeed one other thing that something is supposed to be doing very soon if you want to reassure his international partners france germany and most of all the united states is to abandon or to silence his agreement with latina to put in the rational gate that we had in the 30 is not to stronger the one effect as the one affecting mr clarke but it's quite strong i mean we need 2 positions for mr putin and this is not really orthodox in a country like meet early which has strong may 2 nato traditions because oh if somebody is able to make people forget this russia alignment in getting back to the drawing board the nato the woodlands difficult. road with difficult though i have
2:42 am
to say because 5 star and the league have always been saying that we need to have russia on board because russia and nato is something very good for europe what is not good for europe is immigrants of the grove rise of islam is a millionaire. let's move forward 2 words what it means for europe if salvini wins a snap election consolidate his gains what kind of message that he sent to germany in particular and to the e.u. . the position of salvini seems very clear against the he doesn't even participate to i mean to the meeting of the european union he has a long long long experience politician inside the europeans at anna. but you want to break up into what up i mean in europe seems very worried in fact for death easily seems to isolate not nowadays from the usual partners i mean we're
2:43 am
isolated from france we had a couple of embarrassing moments i mean that would leave by the 5 star movement but then. recall it but when you don't want to talk i mean while calling to tried several times also 12 i mean informal meeting especially in davos for instance we kill i mean to record on the situation but the message that we're giving to or to europe is not exceptional is not exactly positive we are out from the trade where out from the me. we were i mean we were a founder of the european union and the our there is only france and germany are. because salvini doesn't want to take part of them alberta. you have many angles we seem to be really interconnected here because we're talking about the leader of the league is part of a wider political movement which is populism and far right which is now. gaining momentum across europe the rise of salvini do you see it as the beginning of the
2:44 am
end of the e.u. as we we've known it for many many many years. well the economist magazine some weeks ago defined mr sowerby did a most dangerous man in europe i do not agree exactly with isabel we asian of danger but i don't even think that. he cannot be contained as we saw with him and when mccourt taken power in france this by the very strong populist movement by malin that and as we see in many other cars in germany for example the center of european politics is still on 2 sides christian democrats and social democrats yes the beanie if so we need gets power needs only this could definitely reorient maybe part of the tally and politics towards hungary to ours person or bun and not towards europe but i think india and the uni will get some
2:45 am

2:54 am
he's somebody a seasoned economies and i think he will definitely be able to provide a very good old model of how to transform the sudanese economy i think there are few challenges that i would like to highlight one the fact that you have a but 7 to 30 years of misrule where they get a game of base here it will take a lot of time for you to clean the system in order to deliver so you are likely to have a very high expectation of the citizen and at that time you have this high speed you have a very positive for you to deliver will be quite limited because it is seen as the whole system will be there so i think managing expectations would be one of the the the real challenge of these of this government the 2nd one is this a community sector itself because this is a sector that has been politicized and as you could clearly see it is that the 2 position the ministry of defense and minister of interior will be appointed by the
2:55 am
members of the 7 counts of the military members of the soviet council then to be appointed by the prime minister i think this is a very signs that as if the security is being out from the from the civilian administration and this is the sector that is consuming not less than 60 percent of the resources of the budget of the government i think would be absolute very important for the new tradition of government to have an agenda of how to transform disappeared to secular. the job of ministration has announced new rules to allow the indefinite detention of migrant children it overturns an existing legal ruling that the u.s. government can't hold children in custody for more than 20 days regulations are part of a broader crackdown and will come into effect in 60 days the trump administration has established a new rule to respond to the realities of current immigration flows a rule based on the principle that families should remain together during immigration proceedings while the floor settlement agreement is operationally

outdated and does not respond to the current immigration crisis it has many important aspects and principles like the need for special protections for children and high standards for government facilities our correspondent mike hanna is joining us now from washington d.c. mike as has been well documented there was a lot of criticism of the kind of conditions that some of the children of migrants were being held in over the past few months what do we think that the response is likely to be to this legislation. well certainly from human rights groups it's going to be an absolutely ferocious response already there has been reaction condemning this move by the trumpet ministration essentially what it is trying to do is replace a decades old judicial settlement the floor is agreement which govern the way in which migrant fund families are held subsequent to federal legal decisions held that a family could not be held for longer than 20 days now this new set of regulations some $700.00 pages of those offered were completely replace this judicial
2:57 am
settlement with a whole new set of rules which essentially provide for indefinite detention of families including their children the intention of this legislation is to hold families in captivity and to all the immigration cases settled at present they can be held for up to 20 days but then have to be released whether or not the immigration request has been processed so this is certainly a massive attack by the trumpet ministration as human rights advocates would see it on individual rights particularly those of migrants and their children but and that is a very strong but the administration will have to get the approval of a federal judge before these rules can be implemented that judge is a one who has been overseeing the whole immigration process for a long period of time a california district judge and last year she rejected out of hand and administration request to extend the detention of immigrants and their families so
