i'm sorry so much got the good to have you with us italy and hungary say they will work together to push for a new hardline policy on immigration in europe on kerry and prime minister viktor orban and italian deputy prime minister matteo salvini vowed to make migration the central issue in european elections next year the two met in milan to cement their political ties on tuesday. with allies ceding that political alliance with a handshake hungers picture or the man who has built a wall to keep out migrants entering by land i'm not tell you solve the need who is closely tied in polls to most migrants arriving by sea it's time for leaders who think like them to take control they say. in europe there will be elections in may we want to change a lot of things but we. new commission and

a new european parliament a start up on him because lee actually for the protection of told us and stop a migration. to make. it what starts today is a new journey that will lead us to a different europe we need to change the european commission european policies and focus on jobs the right to live on health security. the talks a protest against racism and intolerance these demonstrators are deeply suspicious of the right wing alliance taking shape. and obama trying to break the salvini wants to bring into the out of europe. further south near rome those caught up in solving these new hardline approach after being prevented from disembarking the it's having coast guard ship to chelsea for five days last week about one hundred migrants arrive at a catholic church facility the standoff between it to the in the e.u.

is over in this case but it's only a matter of time before the next migrant ship arrives and southey has made it clear he's prepared to lock horns with brussels again. let's bring in his band record he's following the story for us from brussels hi baird so what does this vowed to work together on a hardline approach actually mean what could it look like. this is a really mr obama but certainly try to drum up support among populist governments in europe and among right thing parties in europe to form and migration coalition of the willing if you will and they're quite successful they already have poland the czech republic slovakia austria in this came been also germany is getting closer the german interior minister. is on the same pause when they met in austria recently they agreed that external borders has to have to be closed and they also want to deter margarets as far as possible in this. a consensus among all twenty

eight member states they decided to. that the borders should be closed and that migration is legal migration should be friends of this fall as possible so then we're talking about a growing alliance of countries that have been pretty critical of european immigration policies until now and they want to work together so how are you officials reacting. the new commissioner of migration says they are talking about a crisis that doesn't exist because the numbers of new arrivals are down there is no influx of no big influx of margins actually and if we could cope with these those numbers if they wanted and italy is now acting unilaterally not taking any migrants of whatsoever and this is against european migration or saddam rules the commission says that we have to find a solution that applies to all twenty eight members stage. a kind of a relocation mechanism but this is

a way because many countries say we won't take migrants anymore are italy and hungry really united here or do they differ over their views on what should happen to migrants where they have differences because nationalists tend not to be very to show much sort of very sort of buried among each other because italy hungary actually to take some migrants from the rescue boats in the harbors and hungary said fiercely no but so that any and all been tried to paper over these differences and says well if you don't have a migration at all we don't need we look asian and there just briefly how do you think they're going to try to influence european elections next year. the coalition of migration part is one to form a new commission that then starts to take. to turn back markers to to bring them back to africa this is a new approach they want to change the system. for good and change the

policies as we know them. all right kiddies band regular reporting for us from brussels thank you dad. here in germany politicians are searching for answers in the aftermath of violent far right protests in the city of kennett's the unrest was triggered by the fatal stabbing of a german man allegedly by two migrants from iraq and syria scenes of protesters giving nazi salutes and attacking people they took for foreigners have shocked the country now leaders are asking what can be done to stop it from happening again. violence. hate speech. and illegal gestures these scenes have touched of national debate in germany far right groups taking to the streets of candidates insisting the city belongs to them not foreign as. video from sunday shows what appeared to be vigilante attacks in cabinets targeting people believed to be foreign us. opcode

over what. chancellor angela merkel has condemned the violence calm viewers video footage of hunts and just hates on the streets this has no place in a state under the rule of law. let me underline that once more in this condition all the cliff to the fatal stabbing of a german citizen over the weekend sparked the anti migration protests police have apprehended two men one from iraq another from syria over the stabbing now officials are also investigating several participants in the protests for giving the hitler salute a punishable offense in germany. germany's political leaders are facing questions about what can be done about extremist sympathies in the country the problem of right wing extremism has to be on the top agenda of the government in six in the

meaning that we have to finance programs who. are fighting for democracy daily daily daily programs and we have to finance a police. but germany's foreign aid party says the stabbing in candidates and the anger that followed highlight the failures of the country's current approach to migration this is. this is a nationwide story and it happened in cabinets but as one cannot see during emotions everywhere in germany and on both sides it is evident that the political class has failed here this is your call me for now candidates and the state of saxony remain on edge further protest organized by right wing groups are planned for later in the week. are political correspondent nina been following the story for us and joins us in the studio nina good morning right wing extremism extremism is not new in germany is politics failed in taking this seriously well of course section saxon is very much in the news right now and we have to also remember that

sex in need became famous when father right. in the great movement was founded in dresden so dresden has been very much in the focus now it's. and there are other smaller incidents that have happened in eastern german cities so this is something people are asking where's the link to maybe history something that happened during east german called me in this times where people were not properly. well they didn't learn probably about the disadvantages of totalitarianism. but having said that there are lots of people who are cautioning against making selling this. problem at the same time we can also see the statistics in places where there are fewer foreign knows there's a big fear of foreigners and this is for example this is the case in cyprus we saw in a report that politicians are searching for answers and we heard chancellor merkel

say there is no place for hate on the streets what do you think her government is going to do well i'm going to machall is faced with this challenge of countering and immigration sentiment she is faced with it on the day to day level. right party won tremendously in last year's federal elections they're now the biggest opposition policy on the national level so they are very much selling this idea of their cause failed immigration policy the open door policy they call it and so she is trying to take this very seriously she spoke out against right wing extremism her interior minister has come out and later this week a family minister will also travel to chemist is that what you exactly looking at kevin itself there are supposed to be fresh demonstrations i had as you said politicians will be traveling there what can we expect what we can expect this story to continue for at least a couple of more days because at the moment there is a very strong sentiment politicians underestimate what was going to happen the

police underestimated what was going to happen they didn't call for enough support underestimated the possibility to mobilize hooligans also if you travel to candidates nationwide this is probably going to continue for another couple of days all right our political correspondent covering this story for us nina thank you so much for joining us in a studio this morning. to catch up now on some other stories making headlines around the world u.s. defense secretary james mattis said washington will not suspend any further joint military exercises with south korea the move comes during a breakdown in diplomacy with north korea over its nuclear weapons program at a summit in june president donald trump surprised military planners by suspending the joint drones. officials in puerto rico now say nearly three thousand people died as a result of hurricane maria which struck the u.s. island last year the government previously but the death toll at sixty four all the

way to admitted the real figure was likely much higher the update was prompted by an academic survey. flooding in the south korean capital seoul has killed at least one person after heavy downpours in the way. i think foully more than sixty people were evacuated around south korea local media report that seven hundred buildings were flattened. authorities in the german city of the spot have removed a four metre tall golden statue of turkish president russia typer to one the art installation was intended as a protest against their to one that divided local residents putting organizers at the local art festival on the back foot. this gigantic statue in the center of a spot and was meant as an expression of criticism against the turkish president and his authoritarian form of government the director of the v. spot an art festival sees art as a means to provoke debate as. they certainly appropriate to conceive of as a controversial thing. we're allowed to discuss freely here in this country it's

very regrettable that's not allowed in other countries but here we can have a discussion about the stock show on this. but some locals fear the ironic statute could fuel conflict in their community and provoke the turkish government more localized. and i don't think it's ok if you ask me it's not it's a provocation and it damages the good relationship between turks and germans. this design supporter saw the statue as a tribute to his hero prompting a heated exchange with a critic of the turkish president. and everyone has their own opinion which they're entitled to voice and i'm avoiding mine mine of mine and that's the kind of mind this is an opinion it's a provocation this is a man who has hundreds of people on this conscience why. why. why he's got people on his conscience well is it because he lied his way to power he's

a dictator he is and i picked up. in the end the debate proved a little too much for the local authorities the statue has been removed. with the city council deciding it couldn't provide the security needed to keep it sorry for the folks thank you for watching we're going to leave you with some images of the thousands of a wreath the franklins fans who have come to bid farewell to the legendary u.s. singer she died earlier this month at the age of seventy six after a battle with pancreatic cancer now her legacy is being celebrated take a look. at the.
