2:49 pm
to tunisia and libya. they gave tunisia money to encourage the tunisian government to beef up its coastguard and to stop the boats, small boats, from leaving tunisia to make the perilous crossing to italy. that is what i think is behind this dramatic fall in boats arriving here in italy. italy has seen a 64% fall this year in a regular migration. as alex alluded to in that report, these are very controversial deals. members of the european parliament themselves, have said that we are worried about bankrolling dictators, the tunisian government is clamping down on democracy at the moment. the president has suspended parliament, jailing journalists... there is a concern about that. also, how words keir starmer replicate that sort of deal with britain's point of view?

relationship. he made reference to the fact that italy is the sixth biggest direct source of investment into britain. there is a huge italian community in britain. he talks about the huge affection between the countries. he has also talked about the reset in relations with europe since he came into office. italy, the third—largest eu member, is an important eu country, economy. coming here earlier in his premiership, he wanted to demonstrate that. they are also talking about big issues like ukraine and whether or not there could be an agreement, perhaps at the un general assembly next week. for ukraine to be able to use these long—range missiles into russian territory, which have been provided by the uk. actually, the production of those less hours involved italy. it is a joint venture that involves italy. that gives you a sense of how important the relationship between and rome is.
