sixty eight. starts the first double. this is news life from migrants refused entry to italy on hunger strike one hundred fifty have been stranded on board this coast guard vessel for more than a week on tonight's e.u. meeting to be solved the crisis has come up with nothing on the program. symbolic just talk all to the polls frozen by god was election victory dismissing opposition

allegations of vote rigging. you not this deeply divided nation. in the funders because a first match of the new season champions fired munich be tough and hard three want to stop it hopeful. and still get a welcome to the program. most of the one hundred fifty migrants stranded in a city imports of more than a week of going on hunger strike have been on board the ditch yachtie an italian coast guard vessel for nine days italy's refusal to allow them entry has earned the country a rebuke from the united from the european union rochas threaten to withhold its funding from the bloc unless other member states accept some of the refugees crisis talks held in brussels that ended without

a resolution let's get more from brussels correspondent of band regas welcome band so no agreement from a you countries who met today and these people are on board apparently starving themselves to death so where does this leave the situation between russia and brussels. there was no appetite here in brussels to give in to any italian demands today because the rather unconventional very hawkish approach of italy to this problem was perceived as a kind of blackmail of populist brinkmanship so it was rejected and the migrants have to be more patient on this coast guard vessel and the whole situation is a kind of awkward because italy is holding its own italian military vessel in an italian port hostage and nevertheless the talian prime minister drew the pic on to accuse the e.u. of hypocrisy. let's listen to italy's deputy prime minister luigi dimaggio ahead of

today's meeting. certainly one of the european union sticks with this attitude if nothing comes out of the european commission meeting on redistributing migrants nitty chiaki ship the five star and i will not be willing to give twenty billion euros each year to the european union you think immediately deodato not ok on the i'm not so bad read it if it's really does follow through on this thread what effect would it have on the here. edu commission would then see you italy before the european court of justice because italy's legally obliged to pay its fees it's like in a private tennis club if you want to use the court you have to pay your fees and by the way the numbers three g. ma is using are wrong italy's not giving twenty billion to the e.u. every year but only three point five billion in payments that is just a quick check on the populists put it in. so where are we that idea that the who

has been kicking around this this whole notion of migration policy since two thousand and fifteen and apparently getting nowhere now they can even deal with one hundred one hundred twenty migrants sat on their doorsteps where is a you policy now in this with the moderation policy lies and chambres there is no common policy anymore when it comes to migrants that arrive in italy it's only a case by case or both by boat management if you will the e.u. needs urgent plea a long term strategy but it's no inside through the ra is escalating and there's no sort of verity and even italy's asking its fellow rightwing populace government in hungary to take some of the margins but the answer from budapest today was no burying it in brussels thank you and zimbabwe's top courthouse upheld president emerson man on god was not a victory in last month's election

a unanimous ruling by the nine judge panel dismissed opposition allegations of vote rigging the june thirtieth election was regarded as a story because it marked a new era for the country after robert mugabe's thirty seven year long rule but the outcome left the nation severely polarized leading to post election violence. the top court in harare had a clear message for the opposition insufficient proof the court finds that the applicant has failed to place before a. direct. sufi. and credible. election process. existed with this verdict the court has given emerson one jaguar the green light to become zimbabwe's new

president ending a weeks long dispute the man get what camp is celebrating the victory and we say that the reds no evidence and the court found that there was no evidence of the my practices he would have to play with allegations and. yet so i believe. in a tweet urged his election opponent opposition leader nelson chamisa to cooperate he wrote letters old now put our differences behind us it is time to move forward together. but zimbabwe's opposition party the movement for democratic change remains firm in its position that the election process was problematic. so ultimately they had to quit having spoken. but the people followed the proceedings. entitled by law to come up with. emotions but the is

a serious miss. with the courts having expressed its verdict emmerson magog was integration is set to take place on sunday. by straight to zimbabwe's capital harare where we joined data because fun and privilege must on hearing welcome for the edge tell us about reactions to this verdict. their reactions mixed. on the ruling party side they are celebrating that the court is on their side and finally their leader. will be inaugurated as the president of the republic of zimbabwe for the next five years but the opposition side. they are not lifting go as to putting up the fight and maintaining that the thirty july election was stolen led

to this evening they released a statement dismissing and its door accepting the court but they are also saying that there is captured therefore. their decision that they met today is not favorable ok so the opposition doesn't like the court's decision is that it now though as far as action on this matter is concerned or are they promising further action. they're speaking to the secretary general of the party soon after the verdict at the court he said that they are going to pursue other avenues to settle this matter because they are saying that the court route yes there is nothing that they can do because the constitutional court is the highest court in these nowhere where they can go and up you so they are saying that when they meet next week on wednesday is

a party the initial consul of the party they're going to decide whether they will pursue their route of protesting or a political dialogue where they will seek for. the settlement of this matter so you know gratian happens on sunday back to work on monday which will be the most urgent of manson's in the president's interest. them major major issue with zimbabwe currently is the economy the economy is not performing and we have the highest rate of unemployment saw the major thing that the president has to do he has to leave. to start waking up for the economy to kick in again but the out of thing is also he has to unify the country because looking at their results and even their mood in the country it
