. cillian prosecutors have opened an inquiry into italy's interior minister mateo salvini over his refusal to allow more than one hundred rescued migrants to disembark from a coast guard ship they've been stuck for ten days in the syrian port city of catan yet salvini originally said the migrants would not be allowed to leave until other european nations agreed to take the men but on saturday evening he announced they could disembark in the coming hours. and joining us now from rome is journalist philip williams philip it's good to see you so is this the first time in its any that a politician will be investigated for his role in forbidding migrants to enter the country. for this specific crime i don't think care. ever be another similar case clearly the phenomenon of mass migration across the mediterranean is relatively new last four or five years.

12:06 am
considered that their human rights of being violated should be allowed to show as though they were trying to find a solution and they went saddle to blackmail their european union partner to this into taking them but they have found an alternative solution it seems maybe it will take some time and will take some path and the others will be looked after by the italian catholic church so they were trying to solve the. problems as quickly as they could and by coincidence they managed to do it just as the investigation comes to a head into the conduct of the interior minister and what should we expect going forward do we expect anything to happen to solve any at this point it will be interesting to see i think it's unlikely. that now that the yet and migrants are being allowed off the boat. that things will come to an outright clash
