9:03 pm
matteo salvini leads the right wing nationalist league party. going on there. there is a he's a deputy prime minister. observation post nearby right at the luigi di maio leads the populist five star movement — above presented idea that was posted which was the biggest party in last year's election. stop conflict happening said i could he's also deputy prime minister. be what's happening in terms of... i it's always been an uneasy setup, with giuseppe conte never seen mean, well there's not much in terms as being really in charge. of the people were in town on the dull laptop thousands of them left. then mr salvini indicated he would several weeks ago. and during the table a no—confidence motion. he wants to make the most last four months at the intense of the league's current popularity. campaign that the syrian government and he needs an election to do that. is waiting around that area. how did data back in may in the european elections, the league came they fit into the broader rebel movement? even calling it a rebel back in may in the european movement? even calling it a rebel movement am sure other people of elections, the league came top in italy with 34%. made in this number, it's one sort five star took i7%. of talks about insurgents and mr salvini's up in the current polls — that doesn't mean that translates anti—government, but perhaps more to him becoming prime minister. accurately jihadist and rebels, anti—government, but perhaps more he'll need coalition accuratelyjihadist and rebels, so partners to do that. this is myjihadist group that was and five star's luigi di maio wants in the town, abbreviated as a to make a new coalition himself. dominant force, which was the he knows if there's an election, affiliate of al-qaeda and now it
9:04 pm
says it's not any more it's five star's place in government moderated it stands, is actually is far from secure. another more extreme forest which is linked to al-qaeda. but that's not just here, but in the hold of ad lib well if you're finding it in the past few months, they pretty much have taken over the area and all confusing, don't worry, administer it. as bloomberg points out in this the united nation has called for an urgent de—escalation of the situation in the northwest tweet, part of syria. we can speak to panos moumtzis, here's sara monetta who's the united nations‘ been following this regional coordinator for the syria story from brussels. crisis. the ball is very much in the court thank you forjoining us on the bbc. of the president, the italian despite the un because for the escalation does not seen anyone is president. he has two options. listening. sadly not, and i think either call the snap election in the the biggest concern is that the autumn or tried to form a caretaker humanitarian impact, the protection of civilians, the fact that these government or a autumn or tried to form a caretaker government oi’ a new autumn or tried to form a caretaker government or a new coalition and go on like that. the reason why he hostilities that are taking place, might not be willing to bring it to the air strikes on the ground up lead to a new election this autumn happens around the health facilities is schools, residential areas. and is because traditionally, the civilians had paid a significant parliament approves the budget for the next year in this period. so if
9:05 pm
price. so have the thousand the next year in this period. so if the parliament were to be dissolved displacements are only at the end of and this was going to be in the april but more than hundred election, this means that italy incidents of direct strikes on would not have a budget law in place health facilities and education facilities and markets residential by the new year, which can be very areas and hundreds of people killed. problematic. so the options on the so the protection of civilians has table in case he wants to find to be taken into account by another solution are to either have everybody and really that's the another solution are to either have biggest concern, to be able to help a caretaker government that is going to pass through the budget law and people and to avoid seeing women and go to to pass through the budget law and gotoa to pass through the budget law and go to a new election in march next children and families suffering and year or he is going to give a given the fact is really conflict has been going on for nine years and mandate to somebody else from the yet it still continuing an act of 5—star movement to form a new coalition and the possible partner hostility taking place stop given for the 5—star movement in this case all the problems the less, why is a would be the democratic party, the you and unable to exert influence over what the different parties are ce ntreleft would be the democratic party, the centreleft party that used to be in dealing? well, the un is a member of government but if you thought that the northern league was an odd the security council is the political will of the member states couple with the 5—star movement, to be able to bring political wheat until you see the possibility of the 5—star movement teaming up solution. our work is humanitarian and pray that we are doing with the democratic party because everything we can to be able to respond to the urgent needed at the the democratic party is the nemesis
9:06 pm
of the 5—star movement and neither needs of the people in the ground. of the 5—star movement and neither of the 5—star movement and neither clearly what's needed is a political of the two sides seemed very happy solution to be able to address the to do of the two sides seemed very happy todoa of the two sides seemed very happy to do a possible agreement. root cause, and i comes back to the number of states from security council to be able to have effective impact to the process is taking place. white given millions of civilians who lived there and the conflict going on around them, what isa conflict going on around them, what is a practical challenges of getting the support you say they need? the challenge is huge. risk is really tremendous as well, notjust for syria and the northwest part of syria, turkey that's right at the nobody here believes in politics now doorstep as well, of course the rest here. why not? because there is of europe as he had seen. there is a direct impact. so the biggest another crisis and every two years, there is a crisis and they change challenge for us, hyping first and there is a crisis and they change the government and they start all foremost is to be able to have access, to be able to go as close as over again, all the time fighting. so it is not really stable. possible to areas or people are fleeing, i get in the fighting in
9:07 pm
air strikes and ground offensive happening. and then of course, if the financial side, to have the funding and have the means to be able to deploy everything that's needed. from medical assistance to food and water getting people at the bare minimum of what is needed. self funding is crucial and the stability is what we need to operate. significant operation taking place across borders across turkey, which facilitates the humanitarian actors, on the ground. i a monthly basis as a screening of the people whose lives depend on this humanitarian assistance that gets to areas in need. there is also people who are displaced in government areas, at the moment we are working and operating from all areas to help people in need based on humanitarian principles. bearing in mind the scale of the problem you describe, if you look at this from afar, it the scale of what needs to be done, would seem that in the end, is quite is ita the scale of what needs to be done, is it a frustration to you that likely to get the election he wants. syria was once the biggest story in the world and concerning the well,
9:08 pm
and now it's not any more, and not well, this is the thing, the point is how soon is he going to get the getting the attention it would have been getting two years ago. selection? because as you said after absolutely, the huge frustration the european elections, his party had a boom in approvals ratings but because on a daily basis, we live through the humanitarian acts and over the past few weeks, there has see actually, the impact on been a drop in popularity for him, civilians in what's happening on the precisely because of the reasons we ground and at the moment there certainly a conflict of happening heard because italians are tired of for nine years now, and there political crisis, so solve many is doesn't seem to be a needy world news and more importantly having an salvini is actually paying the price right now. impact on political actors to take the next reaction to ensure a peaceful way for it that doesn't impact the civilians who are in the area. the syrians who lived there every time really have been displaced multiple times. the average family not to run around five or ten times just to a lot of political turmoil is survive if they were lucky. and it's differently true you're in the uk. it's bring you up—to—date with the happening again and again and we see fallout from that letter from boris with our own eyes on a daily basis johnson. for the last 100 days, there's been here's borisjohnson‘s letter to the european union saying ditch the irish border backstop — a daily basis air strikes ground up or there can't be a deal on brexit.
9:09 pm
happening around places which are here's donald tusk‘s reply. really schools and clinics and markets in residential areas, and i should not be happening. thank you very much for speaking to us. the us has warned greece not to allow an iranian oil tanker to dock in its ports. remember, the irish backstop is part this the same ship that left of withdrawal agreement agreed by theresa may — gibraltar on sunday, it ensures there can be no hard six weeks after it was captured border between ireland with the help of british marines. and northern ireland if there's no it was suspected of breaking trade deal between the uk and the eu sanctions by taking oil to syria. by the end of a transition period. borisjohnson says its unviable the americans say the eventual sale of its cargo will profit the iranian authorities. and anti—democratic. now, tracking devices show that the iranian oil tanker that was released by gibraltar here he is speaking today. and is headed for the port of kalamata. but greece says it has not received the existing agreement does not work for the uk. they have thrown it out any request from the tanker to dock. three times, but we cannot have this here's the co—founder backstop. some going to see our friends, going to germany and then
9:10 pm
to france and then g seven m we will of tankertrackers.com. we believe right now that the tanker make sure that the backstop comes out. let's not forget that boris johnson did vote for the backstop plan on one occasion earlier this year. elsewhere today and the leader will be heading home back to iran, of the opposition gave his thoughts on borisjohnson‘s letter. through the swiss —— suez canal, and then latasha million vessels most it's very unclear what the prime minister thinks he's negotiating. likely with the flight as well in he needs to recognise that order to do so, because she's too heavily laden in the water, and to by holding the threat of a new deal by holding the threat of a no—deal go to syria, she has too much villa brexit on the 1st of october deliver without assistance, so we towards the european union isn't have been tracking her since the end going to bring about a change, it's of november of last year. when she going to make things much worse. came back to iran from an assignment he created this arbitrary date by his behaviour during the tory party leadership campaign. he needs to wise up and stop in southern iraq. if you think the nonsense on the 31st of october original intention was to deliver and start talking seriously. the oil to syria ? original intention was to deliver the oil to syria? of our analysis shows given the fact that there is but, parliament i hope will be able to stop no—deal, to —— shipments going frequently we will move a motion towards the syria via suez canal, of no—confidence and i hope all opposition parties and some conservative mps will recognise that if it takes that to stop no—deal, they are shipping 3 billion barrels then let's do that. a month which is one vessel every
9:11 pm
ten days. million barrels each. they it's now 72 days until the eu's brexit deadline do not have to ship all the way at the end of october. around africa in order to reach syria. so our rationale is that they we re syria. so our rationale is that they were due to go to syria and water is just the maritime border, and be in is saying a safe haven where they can do ship to ship operations transfer oil from as we sing in the clip, he is very much pending his hopes on the key vessel to vessel. in those recipients would be smaller vessels players to change their minds. it over a great period of time, it may does not sound like donald tusk is be about 3—6 much less likely. where going to shift but perhaps the prime they can take small parcels and minister will be encouraged by others in brussels that may be a bit deliver them across the mediterranean sea, so to be buyers more open to change. in terms of speaking to officials and diplomats in brussels privately in southern europe. @ fact that it's happening and your believe as since this letter landed, we broadly divided into three camps. americans are aware that the areas people who were very close well presumably that's something that we want to stop because it to the drafting of the withdrawal means iranian oil ending up in countries that should not be. it's a agreement and the backstop, who were pretty horrified possibility, i mean we have seen because they feel that this crosses one of the eu's big red lines, that in the early months ofjune, which is you need to have a fully worked out ready to go, early on engine, there were vessels
9:12 pm
back—up plan for the irish border acquired by syria in order to put in the withdrawal agreement and both sides sign before breaks a day. together the ship to operation. so there was about so that's a million sides sign before brexit day. barrels and another that was 350,000 that is not what borisjohnson barrels, which was grace one is 2.1 is suggesting here. then you get another group of people who think that this is less million, an actual oil on board. of a genuine offer by borisjohnson said they would need smaller vessels and more of a stunt or a tactic, and they have secured those vessels perhaps for domestic consumption in the uk and then there's a third before it even entered gibraltar. camp that is a very few that think this is a potentialfor an opening that could lead to something that could eventually earlier we were talking about break the stalemate. facebook and we will again. stay with us on outside source — the uk leaving the eu still to come... without a deal remains we'll be live in san francisco a very real possibility. in a moment, to talk about a new report from facebook, the uk's farming unions have warned this would decimate their industry. which says the site needs to do more to gain the trust the uk's farming minister, george eustice said his government would support the sector of right—wing conservatives. through what he called "short term turbulence". here's gareth barlow. a report has found that a lightning strike, and the loss of two electricity generators, caused nearly a million people to lose power in england and wales earlier this month. national grid called brexit has brought uncertainty it "extremely rare". emma simpson reports. to agriculture, but nowhere more

conservative users rather than obvious and then act upon it. we say facebook at facebook is not doing anything wrong. yeah, this is one of we woi’i’y obvious and then act upon it. we say we worry about privacy but the evidence is not a lot of people are those frustrating topics i think you acting on it. and advertising could say that's come up regularly experts have been telling me anyway over the past year are selling you that the way facebook advertising mention the president tweeting about this issue as well. the suggestion this is work, he used to be all that facebook is knowingly and about this incredibly precise deliberately quashing the b is targeting. now advertisers are conservatives on his network. this valuing it for the sheer scale of is the report that the former the audience that it delivers. it senator put up today. and on the last page, he concludes that the may not be that damaging for facebook after all. they had been policies could be used to restrict particularly under pressure in free speech. i tell you, if you are europe, german data regulation in a student in school and you and particular saying that they did not handed the sin as an essay i think i like this practise of tracking need to send it back to you and say people of facebook back onto you have not provided enough evidence to substantiate your facebook and they wanted facebook to argument because it is very lacking do something about it. so it is in detail, and say you have not throwing a bone to the eu regulators provided enough evidence to substantiate your argument because and two of the three countries where it is very lacking in detail, anecdotal concerns, from republicans about how facebook works. they no evidence of any kind that facebook they are doing this is ireland and spain. it is saying that the eu is fundamentally taking down or is regulators are acting here without somehow systemically hiding views of
