4:00 am
jobs and gates face to face on al-jazeera. to doha these the top stories from al-jazeera u.s. democrats are pushing for a key witness to be allowed to testify the impeachment trial of president double trump calling for trump's full with national security adviser john bolton to appear before the senate following his claims that trump ordered him to tie military aid for ukraine with an investigation into joe biden we now have a 3rd witness who is apparently a direct witness to the president's timing a military aide to investigations of master but bolton we could not have made a more powerful case for calling him then the case the president's lawyers just did in trying to contest that link between military aid investigations so once again they underscored the importance of john bolton as a as
4:01 am
a witness who would corroborate exactly what the uncontested evidence that the house put on shows that president trump used hundreds of millions of dollars of military aid to coerce an ally to conduct these political sham investigations algis there was how to castro's house war the cole for bolton to testify democrats say the new information from john bolton that trump directly linked to u.s. security aid to his demand that ukraine announced investigations into joe biden could significantly bolster the impeachment case this is stunning it goes right to the heart of the charges against the president. ambassador bolton essentially confirms the president committed the offenses charged in the 1st article of impeachment that article is abuse of power for allegedly putting his personal interests above that of the united states trump denies the allegation he's
4:02 am
characterized bolton once his national security adviser as a disgruntled former employee who wants to sell more books i haven't seen him at this group but i can tell you nothing was ever said to john but i have not seen a baby. i guess he's writing a book i haven't yet but several moderate republican senators appear to have been moved by bolton's revelations only 4 republicans would need to side with democrats to cold bolton to testify i think it's increasingly likely that other republicans will will join those of us who think we should hear from john bolton inside the senate chambers the president's legal team ignore the bolton development completely not a single witness testify that the president himself said that there was any connection between any investigation and security assistance a presidential meeting or anything else by the end of the week the u.s. senators will likely vote on whether to call bolton and other witnesses but with or
4:03 am
without witnesses the odds remain squarely in the president's favor it would take a 2 thirds majority of the republican control chamber to remove trump from office castro al-jazeera washington. meanwhile told trump has been talking up his long delayed middle east peace proposal which he's due to release on shoes day israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and opposition leader bennigan's are in washington to discuss the deal which the palestinians have already rejected. investigators in the united states are also trying to find out what caused the helicopter crash that killed 9 people including basketball legend kobe bryant bryant's private helicopter came down on a hillside north of malibu california on sunday heavy fog at the time had grounded other aircraft including police helicopters germany has become the 2nd country in europe to confirm a case of coronavirus france reported 3 people had their less last week in china where the outbreak started at least 81 people have died or close to 3000 are
4:04 am
infected. lebanon's parliament has passed its 2020 budget despite protesters trying to stop politicians from getting to vote the new government is trying to lift the country out of a deepening economic crisis but many rejected the budget as it had been discussed and demanded by the previous administration. also fighting has been reported in an area east of the libyan city of misrata where forces loyal to the ward cleaver have to launch an offensive on sunday at least 11 government soldiers were killed 100 others injured those are the headlines i'm back with more news in half an hour here on al-jazeera next al-jazeera correspondent fascism in the family.
4:06 am
pleased. by the. end of the little probably. the by. us. law has a hookah it but not everyone adores matteo salvini the far right leader dominating italian politics some believe his actions and slogans are reminiscent of the country's most notorious export fascism. it was born here 100 years ago could it be coming back. to understand what's happening today i 1st need to explore this violent chapter from italy's past.
4:07 am
like the country of my birth i too have fascism in my past. on the italian island of sardinia my grandfather was a senior figure in the fascist party this was his home. and my grandfather was actually a pilot in world war one was quite dashing. i don't really know much about my grandfather be his he died when i was just
4:08 am
a few months old and the family never hid his fascist past by the opposite but i still don't feel like i actually know enough about what happened in those years with living under fascism was like and crucially with the little. there's a place nearby called carbone a mining town created in 1038 here in southern search dania as a showcase for fascism. carved out of barren fields this town was built in every market. 6 6 out of borneo sort of up there for the matter had a boner was the brainchild of benito mussolini the man who ruled italy for 20 years and corinth the term fascism to describe his brand of dictatorship.
4:09 am
my grandfather vitali pigo was chosen by his regime to be carbone yes mayor. it's not just my family's past but it's future that makes the story so poignant for me. and what you know. i'm learning my 3 year old son is half jewish and would likely have been a victim of the fascists to whom my grandfather pledged his allegiance but you know . it's quiet in this small corner of sergei near where generations of my family lived . but across the country and beyond. fascism seems to be stirring once more. i want to understand why it 1st took root in
4:10 am
italy a sentry ago. jen look a scrub who is a historian at the university of calgary inserted in that he sees in the story of my grandfather how fascism inspired a generation. when i'm not. political and so batten down and down the sauce that it benefited the thought of the conflict don't really matter the sentiment of the condiment of the uppity achieve in iraq was the norm the president thought. force an instrument of the throne a party that happened to the normal role where they're. going to sit at a minimum of one of. the jonica bunch appalled at the event without their 4th and more. it's about the. encounter not in the thick wood or whether the.
4:11 am
systematic evidence to declare the apostle forces ideas into the concert you know started to study done to look for she's also sure that we took the city to check not fit with a loose change in the identity in question what i meant and that's our main income and i think. she's. going up a sauna of course is a pull did i send somebody you don't recall an individual support for that trick on me. in fact not on the next big thing but what happened to me but i shall put fodder for the stuff that i should. be the from the telling history the cowboy yeah and that's what i came out of the persona non of in say. for the 10 on the fish.
4:12 am
miscellanies vision of modernity tommy and power for it was embodied in his new town. he was so proud of his creation of carbone he had that he came with much fanfare to a norm here at the city in the center of 1938. there's a witness to this event from more than 80 years ago the writer paolo found there was here in this crowd he was 9 years old. and he caught up with the song. you know i mean come on i think columbia be added to the wind. and will they be met by norah and they're going to be all. over she startled out of the dollar. falls down going to. be. your.
4:13 am
but i want to bet that i've got a lot of thought it. would be tough to travel. to work along a 5 toward. a de la bella call shame a love i would not feel on the $15.00 plus 10 all united in time job ok you know without so i got a boner going to be open enough that i thought and fossil media called both for inside the day not a minute i'm going to play with all the new thought ok if you fall say of course return and she goes a bit of a tame bull. this new town was founded on coal it's very name derived from kind of born in the italian word for coal. so of course the mine was the center of life here.
4:14 am
but fascism demanded more from people than just their labor. as the workers entered the mine they'd be welcomed by this sign in it it's actually signed by misleading and it says i prefer my workers to work obediently hard and possibly in silence and it really in caps relates that fascist ideal that you're calling a machine you're not a thinking being you're part of a bigger project an interesting possibly in silence i'm not sure they really had a choice because actually when the regime fell it was the mind is that a raised sign in the fire.
4:15 am
the archives in calgary offer some valuable clues about why my grandfather was picked to be paul this stop the fascist title for me. my grandfather knows exactly the situation and carbo nya and because he had been in a within the frat fascist trade union he would understand from the word go what the challenges faced by the workers and presumably the miners would be so that's why they choose him the archives also provide the picture of how fascism was being enforced throughout the country this includes the notorious racial laws that stripped italian jews of their jobs and rights and outlawed their books and films and these are the documents relating to the racial laws that were passed in 1038 to
4:16 am
the poor the start so to the mayors. coming from the central fascist party in rome and it's just an outline basically of what they are all the articles provisions for the defense of the town and race there they phrase that and here is the census because a census was held across italy and here in sweden as well of those it says here israel lights resident in the province and there's about foreign car bonior for example one of them was actually the president of the italian association of carbon . which means he was effectively in must of played a key role in putting her on a together and and then to see no edict comes in that effectively that all these people have to be relieved of their jobs grandfather must have known commendatory sega here spouse have i also wonder what he had. would have
4:17 am
thought knowing that then his great grandchild might have fallen foul of the racial groups. the jews were discriminated against throughout italy and fascism imposed a strict controls on the lives of all citizens. the miners and carbo nea were no exception. francesca feagles his father was a miner here during the time that my grandfather was mayor but he was an anti fascist. i'm not certain how welcoming francesco will be. singled out of course that last is what's on the edge in nicaragua now and this is
4:18 am
anything because of the confront persona devil saw identical. doing up at the thought i meant that the vessel got quite lucky your and me sense of it i presume that it was simplicity thought up as in that new path are needed to what cause us would rather laugh at doc you know yours and not be so bad that this one only nearby there are known nobody but if they got out of maine. or steal i. love all the army air as to what i meant they gave me i wouldn't wish that i'd see only so a lot of active with us lowly that would tie the 2 but it's only the last hour they . need me now tony siciliano. because i don't know they need get a new look at all the. city i need to get on the side of the university of the net internet so that they. catch on will see what i meant they actually get it was that the man that the. even among the department if you put it from the room that you priyanka use to swat is so much.
4:19 am
to put it in one of the 2 they did it would be probably be difficult to get a ticket on the so i checked out the confessional got to be disappointed it's also time to point to continue on when i did get a boner among wanted to be given a speech at the permit zone but in the city child can refute the model carbone yeah but it didn't demanded it still want to. call me love otoh when it leaves me but c'mon don't and i mean you guys made my father before you do the mortal drop. all the work down here was dangerous and grueling but some of the seams in this maze of tunnels had a more sinister purpose. this was one of the hardest places to work in the mine and often political dissidents or gay
4:20 am
people were often sent here as punishment and the director of the mine a little earlier told me the story of when he was taking some people around sure some people around on a tour and on this tour was an old miner someone would actually work here back in those days and i 1000 age boy asked him in an offensive way and said what was it like working with gay people and the old miner snapped back at the boy and said they were wretches just like i was. this place of wretches became of by word for hardship. carbone his reputation was immortalized in a film featuring 2 of the world's greatest actors. in a special day but channel mr ianni tells us a few a lot in how his lover has been punished for being gay in fascist italy.
4:21 am
so to speak. so receive. much of a wreck of the difficult multiple of. hard labor in california will also be the fate of mastery on these character. icons some of. them are. the scenes between mr ianni and lauren are in trouble over in with the real events of this special day. may 3rd 1938 this is the date adult hitler was welcomed in rome by mussolini and thousands of adoring fascists. the uneasy alliance between these 2 dictators
4:22 am
eventually resulted in italy joining world war 2 in 1940. the war would make carbone year not only a place of exile but a camp for prisoners of war. the geneva convention bans prisoners from working in dangerous conditions in carbone yet they were forced to dig coal. my grandfather vitale was still mayor. this chapter of certainly is history has been the focus for research or any color p.s. . in the. up and suddenly not a lot of. comment of uganda people to doc up your. presence and as for a moment. just a thought
4:23 am
a little common. sense in your. quest and then. the. money for the. journey to go on and on about the love i mean out of. all of us but i wanted that if you felt that if but i didn't care the. other. cover. we needed. because. if i do love. you know what's out. about some of the carbon of this which is an american i'm going to show and i'm going to. find out i learned had no scope and i just said i wanted you she that he. wasn't i want to see michelle look at. the.
4:24 am
more when i see what's in a complimentary diversity but as a company was this equal but i uncovered. a full time and almost civil. post op was important about. a fanatical contract that can mentor companies that mean a problem with their cause up. there are tangible signs not only in documents and photographs of my grandfather's role in car boni a story. but 100000 holes that he ordered be dug by prisoners were for planting trees that have grown into these woods on the edge of town.
4:25 am
the picture that emerges of my grandfather is of a faithful follower and efficient administrator of the fascist party here inserted here. back at the house though i find the clue that is loyalty to the regime led him beyond the silly to the 3rd reich. while looking through the pictures i found this which is the coffee of a letter from nazi germany addressed to my grandfather. berlin the date 16th of may 19th $38.00 so that's just a few months before it's leap passes racial laws. it's in german i don't understand it i want it translated i want to know what it means and i want to know its significance but it's definitely a punch in the stomach to find a letter with a swastika and heil hitler in the signature among old family photos.
4:26 am
the buildings that record by the fascists here in carbone are still standing. the town has done a thorough job of preserving the old architecture but has had less success securing new jobs. the coal mine is closed the industrial plant deserted. it's a place as francesco told me there is a sleep a town built for work for now there is none. what i learned about my grandfather is that he believed in the fascist ideals yes building a new italy but doing so by suppressing personal freedoms and using violence
4:27 am
against anyone who didn't fit in with those ideals he knew about this it in sin gay people being sent to crony as punishment he implemented the racial laws by banning books and films by jewish authors and he knew about the dismissal of jewish workers in the future within a system that does that and you don't speak out you are responsible you are complicit.
4:28 am
matthew salvini is one of italy's strongest political forces its rise as been propelled by a weakening economy. italians are scared about their future. but has of reviving old hatreds from the country's fascist past also played a role. i'm still looking for details of my family's fascist history but i wonder what appeal could this repressive ideology really have for italians today. it's possible that i might uncover some of the answer is buried here at mussolini's to.
4:29 am
americans live side by side in 2 parallel universes the truck parts of america are getting in trouble here there is a poll out a few weeks ago that you had almost 30 percent americans believing they were on the cusp of civil war both sides accuse each other of doing things that are so blatantly wrong on the bottom line on us politics and policies and their effect on the world. presence on donald trump jr was promised damaging information about hillary clinton allegation like to see an investigation done did the trump campaign with russia did you at any time the former f.b.i. director james comey in any way shape or form the closer to back down the investigation into michael flynn and also as you well know. next question battlefield washington on al-jazeera.

mussolini to be preserved it's become a place of pilgrimage for his followers this note has been left here to mark the anniversary of the 8th of september 1943 now that's the day that italy announced the armistice with the allies effectively the day that italy changed sides in the war with the allies and now against that germany a day that on this note they call a vial of betrayal and they say that actually it's the people that stayed with me the brought in and loyalty to the nation to the point of giving their blood for it and that's exactly how they sign it they say on air and glory to you our beloved to do cheer the comrades of italy in this note along with these flowers left here about 10 days. into this man turned out to be a member of neo fascist party fatah. he wanted to talk but refused to show his face

4:35 am
a few it seems have been busy canvassing for their hero outside the cemetery. so while we were filming at the crypt someone left this flyer on the windshield of the car little note coming out saying do change you are always in my heart and then the address of the shop and inside they've got badges they've got pins key chains flags and it's not just fascism because look here. the flags swastikas i mean look at this there is anything you might want. this isn't the only shop selling fascists the nazi memorabilia here in production there are 2 more and. it seems that 75 years after the end of world war 2 some italians are still drawn to mussolini and fascism.
4:36 am
but there is a narrative closer to the truth than the one preferred by diva. a bestselling 800 page historical novel about mussolini entitled details the brutal reality of life under fascism it's the work of untold new school. too many people even you know used to believe that fashion was evil and with racial and with the relationship with denies it with the alliance but in the beginning most salumi was. done a lot of good things and it was a good statement. while it's not true it's not true so what do you think is the essence of fascism violence was the essence of fashion since the beginning the formula. ok of mostly me was
