the humphrey watched the national independence day parade in washington d.c. here's what she saw all. the president promised a show like no other and the parade wrapping up now was just the start is certainly a departure from history with its display of military hardware including an air force one fly over and 4 tanks stationed around washington d.c. not since president truman 7 decades ago when the u.s. was at war with korea has the country seen such a presence of military equipment many out here today a wearing make america great again hats they're waving trump 2020 banus a veteran of the vietnam war told me that this is the 1st time that he feels that the military has been properly on it but not everyone is happy the democrats say that this patriotic day should not become a political one with particular reference to trump's salute to america's speech later protest groups like the antiwar group code pink are also outs with the trump
11:05 pm
baby balloon not seen since protests in london this is a show like no other a costly one in a divided country but the president clearly believes it's worth the hefty price tag . it was hell in the humphrey reporting earlier from washington d.c. the italian coast guard has rescued $55.00 migrants from the mediterranean sea off the coast of lampedusa and brought them ashore now the reporter. shot these exclusive images in the port of lampedusa here we see the migrants disembarking the coast guard boats as darkness fell the rescue to play use as a separate group of migrants remains aboard and in geo boat that is still awaiting permission to enter the poor just days ago the rescue ship sea watch 3 forced its way into the port of lampedusa after being denied entry for 2 weeks
11:06 pm
when he yes if he joins me now from lampedusa good evening to you there is a lot happening right now in the waters of the mediterranean between libya and. break it down for us exactly what is going on. well brant i'll start with what happened tonight just 2 hours ago a dramatic arrival just behind me as several dozen italian media is reporting 55 migrants arrived by boat that was the italian coast guard that brought them here say they picked them up not far from lampedusa that's the italian island between north africa and italy now what. happened just earlier just minutes before that was that an ngo an italian and you announced that they had picked up about the same number of migrants off the coast of libya and were headed toward this island as well lampedusa and italian deputy prime minister matteo
11:07 pm
salvini who comes from the right wing said that he would not allow that he told them to turn around and head toward tunisia and don't forget 20 about 24 hours ago there was also the report of about 80 deaths of people making the same dangerous trip from libya to this island lampedusa you know the true i'm wondering if it'll ease interior minister materials i mean if he is stopping the other group of migrants from coming is sure i mean how did these 55 how how did they make it safely into your. right that's the question why can the italian coast guard continue to bring migrants to this island without the response of mateo salvia any the major difference i see watch explain this to me is that the sea watch and other n.g.o.s are picking up migrants off the coast of libya and instead of bringing them to libya they're bringing them to our producer which is part of italy so that they can then claim asylum in the e.u.
11:08 pm
the reason they do that is because i see watch explained to me they are required by international law to bring migrants that they rescue anybody that the rescue at sea to a safe port libya is not considered a safe port so they stay they are required to bring them to the next safest port and they decided that's lampedusa italian prime deputy prime minister matteo savini is now calling for them to bring calling for the italian ship that is on its way to lampedusa to bring those migrants to tunisia so there's a disagreement about whether or not tunisia is a safe port but again the ngos say no they want to claim asylum in europe where it actually is safe and that's what they're going to do to save lives i mean what have you been hearing there in lump ados are they preparing for a new influx of migrants trying to reach their shores considering what happened this week in libya with that migrant center being hit by air strikes i mean are
11:09 pm
they prepared for more migrants trying to make it across the mediterranean. well the authorities are very much prepared this is not as rare as it sounds like i said a lot of times migrants arrive quietly and it's not turned into a political topic there is a migration center here there are lots of people staying there i visited today i was denied access but the people on the island this has become a regular thing for them a lot of people were standing here watching it taking pictures but it really is a small island they need to bring them to italy and of course italian politics right now is trying to block that. w.'s i mean as of reporting tonight from the italian island of lampedusa i mean thank you. hong kong's chief executive kerry lam it is requesting a meeting with the city's university students as she tries to ease the pressure of
