this is g.w. news my vote from berlin italy takes another step to block migrants from reaching is sure to cheerier minister closes what was once europe's biggest migrant reception center in sicily but that has not stopped carrying rescued refugees from entering italy's forbes also coming up tonight europe's fribbles to save the iran nuclear deal but it remains unclear what more can be offered to change the course of a very disillusioned government in tehran and the lessons waltz to poverty tonight

you'll meet 12 year old son from pakistan a young fisherman and one of the millions of children do go to work instead of school. i bring coffee it's good to have you with us today italy made good on a promise and closed what was once europe's biggest reception center for migrants in sicily the closure was mission accomplished for the hard line interior minister matteo selby who presided over the site's shuttering today he said that he wanted to see it replaced with much smaller facilities to save money. a man who says he kept his promise interior minister teo salvini doesn't want migrants in italy. after his far right legal party came to power just over

a year ago the government passed legislation to stop housing asylum seekers. salvini pledge to shut down the main a reception center in sicily once one of the largest migrant camps in europe. please that we've released the country from this problem the land and houses here were worthless now it will be a normal part of sicily of italy. the centers for 100 pink and orange houses were built as homes for u.s. military from a nearby base at the camp speak it housed 4000 people who had crossed the mediterranean in the hope of a better life. but protest is against the closure say they can't help prepare residents for integration into europe also offering treatment for traumatised migrants. we are protesting because not because of the closure but because of them or that atheists or disclosure because they didn't take into account that the needs

of their most of all and of all they just transferred to some of the most vulnerable patients circulate that we have. curing to another place which is very similar to this camp which is not the street or for that kind of needs most of the migrants housed at the mineta camp have been moved to what salvini calls smaller and more controlled centers while they wait for europe to find somewhere for them to live or to be sent back to where they came from and you corresponded i mean as it is in italy he was outside the gates of the center as it was closed today we asked him what was it and we asked him what was doing there. on the one hand it had been underfunded for a long time and it was it became a place of criminality and there was drug busts and prostitution here now that wasn't everything though at one point at its height people could take classes in

different topics so it was on the one hand a place of criminality but on the other hand it could have been an example of how refugee centers could have been run if you can see here the houses were built for american troops and there it was a place for american troops families until 2010 so it had a lot of resources so activists say that salvini wanted to close it as a symbol to send to the public that he's taking a hardline stance against immigration salvini has made it very clear that his primary goal at this point to stop immigration into italy and stopping closing the ports at lampedusa is the primary way to do that he gave a decree a little over 3 weeks ago saying that n.g.o.s ships these are the private ships that go to north africa and pick up people who are trained trying by boat to get to italy they pick them up and take him to lampedusa which is the closest european port he said he wants to stop them and he just recently after 2 boats successfully made it into lampedusa defying his order he made it he wants to make it even harder

so the fine will now be a 1000000 euros instead of 50000 and he's even considering putting warships out there to physically block the boats from coming in and that was do we use all means yes of reporting from the closed now closed mineo migrant camp in sicily. aren't here some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world that nigeria's parliament has been on lockdown after clashes between police and shiite muslim protestors shots were fired by both police and demonstrators blamed the shooting on the other side minority shiite groups have regularly protested outside the assembly calling for the release of their leader he has been detained since 2015 china has demanded that the u.s. immediately cancel a proposed sell of more than $2000000000.00 worth of arms to taiwan the deal includes battle tanks and anti-aircraft missiles it would be the 1st big ticket u.s. military sale to the island in decades china considers taiwan to be part of its territory

in northern spain at least one person is dead after floods swept through several towns overnight the downpours caused 2 local rivers to burst their banks the government in navarro province is mourning people near the flood zone to stay home as heavy rains continue. germany france britain and the european union have called on iran to reverse its move to increase the enrichment of uranium tehran announced yesterday that it was refining the nuclear material to a level banned by that 2015 nuclear deal the u.s. unilaterally withdrew from the agreement last year but european leaders are scrambling to save what they see as a landmark diplomatic it cheap. iran has been stepping up its uranium enrichment and the european union is worried we continue to our children not to take for good measures that's undermining. but without america keeping its side of the bargain

iranians a growing tired. we should have pulled out of the nuclear deal much sooner we should have accepted the deal in the 1st place it was obvious that america had no commitment and it was all a game the u.s. and iran are indeed in a dangerous game a suspicious oil tanker fight in the gulf of oman here iran exhibiting a u.s. drone that shut down and a ship stopped in the mediterranean accused of violating u.s. sanctions on iran how did we get here last year trump pulled the u.s. out of the iran nuclear deal even though tehran was meeting its commitments new sanctions swifty followed. and i jump olten trumps national security advisor has long wanted regime change in iran and israel void by the trump administration support also wants to rein in iran's growing influence in the middle east. iran recently has been threatening israel's destruction it should remember that these

planes can reach anywhere in the middle east including iran. the european union hopes to salvage the deal but iran's position looks increasingly precarious are for more on this i'm joined by our e.u. correspondent teri schultz good evening to you terry so we know that france's president macron he sent in his top envoy to tehran today what is he hoping to achieve. well brant the goal here is really not in dispute nobody not the u.s. not europe not china or russia wants iran to get a nuclear weapon so that's not the problem here the issue is how do you restrain tehran and right now the europeans feel very much that the nuclear deal which they have stuck to which the u.s. has has withdrawn from is the best way to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon so that's what president mcclellan is trying to do he is trying to talk to iran into stopping its new initiatives to enrich more uranium they are

still i'm told at a reversible level and the europeans would very much like to have tehran halted at this level to return to talks to try to deescalate the tension and to certainly stop iran from moving into even further interest uranium there and about 4.5 percent right now whereas 20 percent would be the level at which they would actually be pursuing a nuclear weapon so there is time the europeans say but it's getting tight it's getting tight and what will happen if we continue to see iran violating the deal want you to listen to what the finnish foreign minister said today that of course you piece a little bit squeezed because we were the ones who were advocating for the no cloud deal because the nuclear deal then the u.s. withdraw from the nuclear we do from the nuclear deal it's a very difficult situation but of course if we get iran to behave we have somehow also tools to help them to make the trade and not be in

a full oscillates and so forth but now of course the latest news cycle something that they say they are again stopped into producing nuclear materials about the limits of soap what we have to be very strict about this. theory he says we have to be very strict on this i mean what does that mean agree imposing sanctions. the europeans are definitely not at that point yet i've just spoken with and e.u. diplomat who says they are not going down that road at this point and now the finnish foreign minister is speaking currently as the e.u. president so he's not speaking on behalf of only his country and you heard him mention that both the europeans need to fulfill their obligations as well as iran so he acknowledges that the european union has not lived up to its side of the deal in providing iran economic benefits from the deal and that's the reason why iran is so frustrated compounded by the united states putting so much pressure on european

companies trying to do business in iran but again going back to the goal of not letting iran get a nuclear weapon i believe finish foreign minister having still also means that we cannot stand by if iran continues its current path of uranium enrichment to the fridge president he's got this on boy in tehran. picked up the telephone yesterday i should say to talk to the u.s. president donald trump about this standoff what came out of that phone conversation it well he also spoke with the iranian president over the weekend so you can see that mccrone is really taking a leading role here now is speaking with the u.s. what the e.u. would like of course and what the 3 britain france and germany would like is that the u.s. lay off its pressure on european companies trying to help iran improve its economy after the u.s. withdrew from the deal it also wanted to make all the other parties dumped the deal which hasn't succeeded yet but no one can pretend the signal is not very fragile

and struggling so i would imagine the president mcclellan asked president trump to stop the pressure on europe and to let diplomacy take some time to work now there is a meeting tomorrow of the international atomic energy agency of course who monitors which monitors iran's nuclear program that meeting is called in vienna for tomorrow afternoon called by the united states so we'll have to see what they say there. teri schultz in brussels tonight terry think you. protesters in hong kong have vowed to take to the streets again this despite the territory's leader declaring that controversial extradition bill dead protesters fear that the bill which would allow extraditions to mainland china they fear that it would erode hong kong's judicial independence chief executive carrie lamb has offered some concessions but demonstrators want the legislation to be withdrawn completely for good. a further step in the climb down by hong kong's chief executive

until june kerry lamb had vowed to press ahead with the legislation then she delayed indefinitely now this. but there are still lingering doubts about the government's sincerity or wariness whether the government will restart the process in a legislative council. so i reiterate here. there is no such a plan that is that. the bill to allow the extradition of suspects in criminal cases to face prosecution in mainland china triggered a series of massive protests that began in march with hundreds of thousands taking to the streets and some serious clashes with police this rally was on sunday. before the protestors caroline's latest announcement is simply not enough they don't believe her statement that the bill is dead as a prominent activist told d.w.

that's ridiculous like especially now with the extradition bill is in the legislative program and asked a fact and a b. it will still continue to exist in the poll graham until next year july so the french will continue in the next trial months before the protest as more is at stake than the fate of this bill they say the probe aging city government is seeking to cut tail freedoms guaranteed under the treaty that saw the united kingdom return its colony to china in 1907 a pro-democracy movement has formed that sees very different groups in hong kong come together students lawyers and bankers united at least for now. in 2050 the united nations adopted its sustainable development goals it's meant to improve the lives of billions of people on the planet by the year 2030 well we are a 3rd of the way into that and a review has found that the world will most likely fail to meet its commitments for education under the sustainable development goals all children should be in school

by the year 2030 but at present rates of progress 14 percent will still not be in education by then on literacy all young people should be able to read and write by 2030 but it's feared 20 percent will still be illiterate unbelievable. or projections or worse for low income countries pakistan for example has one of the worst levels of out of school primary age children in the world the way you visited a school there to see what's being done to get kids into the classroom and to keep them there. are you know 82 clock in the morning and did no home much should be getting ready for school but the 12 year to stop growing a few years ago in order to work and support his family. is a lot palatable i come here early in the morning and stay till late which is very tiring when i get home i have a bath and go to the mosque. we don't have money which is why i can no longer study

. subjects situation is the norm for millions of children across pakistan a new report from unesco estimates some $5.00 men are out of a school at the primary level and gloats news of the most going to even posing a man who has children and afterwards going to school pakistan's then been doing education crisis is mainly down to backers of under-investment and mismanagement of the entire system and fear than politicians to finally improve things is so low that many people are taking matters into their own hands. this school was established by volunteers in karachi offering feel lessons to the nearby haitian community the classes offer an escape groups you post and hope for a back a future. yes. we will have to open the school as there are no functioning government

ones in the area. many of our children are getting into trouble especially with drugs. but we try to get support from the government and press them to help us but heard nothing back this is why we such as help ourselves. we play games and really enjoy ourselves they teach as well so we like coming here . for a better life i want to study and become a pilot when i grow up. they teach us in english and urging i want to learn here and then become a teacher myself prime minister in non-con has vowed to prioritise and invest in education where the learning continues to spend less than is recommended by international standards education should be the priority of gohmert so even if they

have that is what i post. where we fear is when we are implementing it if. pigs are moving in the same direction i don't think so we'll be able to achieve this within 20. sided c.s.u. would know to become up a list man but don't leave me in who he and millions like him have is if pakistan not only c.v.s. beautiful education system but also lives families like started out of quality to send their children to school the government has its work. according to the latest u.n. food cost $1.00 in 4 children will not complete their education by going to. or from our children to our environment france has announced a green tax on flights departing the country to be introduced next year the tax could add up to 18 euro's to the price of

a ticket but paris says that money will be spent on funding more eco friendly travel infrastructure including the country's railways. one euro 50 that's how much economy passengers will soon be paying on top of the regular airfare for most flights leaving from france business class passengers will be taxed 9 euros with those flying to destinations outside the e.u. paying up to 18 year olds extra their whole sit on the ground has committed to a european initiative to tax air travel there's increasing awareness things are beginning to move but this is urgent like other countries we've decided to impose an eco tax on all flights departing from france young child to divert our phones france is interested in more than an equal tax it's also pushing the e.u. commission to end a controversial tax preference for airlines who are exempted from aviation fuel tax something germany has also criticized the e.u. members like the netherlands are also interested in lives. an equal tax on flights

france says it will use the proceeds to boost sustainable transportation like its rail network the country has long sought to lead the e.u. on environmental policy but with mixed success president emanuel mccrone was forced to shelve a plan to tax on diesel fuel after widespread protests by the yellow vest movement . what started as a diplomatic embarrassment is threatening to blow up into a full fledged crisis between the united states and its historically closest ally the u.k. it follows the leaked diplomatic cables from the british ambassador which were rather critical of u.s. president donald trump suffice to say the criticism is not going down well with the u.s. president w.'s alex forced one to be here at the big table with the latest on this i mean for people who have not been following this story closely tell me what exactly did the u.k. ambassador write about mr trump well it's a kim darrick who is one of the u.k.'s top top diplomats said of him in these

supposedly secret cables that he was in at in secure and incompetent and they went to downing street which of course is the home of the british prime minister they date from 2017 to now and as i say they were supposed to be secret but they ended up on the front page of a newspaper the mail on sunday which of course was embarrassing for the ambassador embarrassing for the government particularly as donald trump was only in the u.k. for a special state visit a few weeks ago and that was all to try to promote the so-called special relationship between the u.k. and the u.s. now it's a kim himself you know one of his jobs is to be politically neutral but also to get the truth of all of what he's hearing about the country confidential exactly where he's living but of course it's not supposed to end up in the front page of a newspaper which is what happened. clearly unhappy about the content of these

cables clearly furious and he started tweeting yesterday saying that the white house would have nothing to do with this ambassador and also lambasted the british prime minister to resign may saying that she completely failed in how she dealt with bricks at the u.k.'s exit from the european union he's been back on his favorite social media. from today tweeting the wacky ambassador that the u.k. for he stood upon the united states is not someone with thrilled with a very stupid guy and he went on to say i don't know the ambassador but i've been told he is a pompous fool. you know that's. i would say typically trump in the language there what happens now though i mean you've got the president saying your ambassador is almost a persona non-grata yes yet we've had the white house disinviting him to a dinner and we've also heard today that the commerce secretary wilbur ross refused

to meet a u.k. cabinet minister because the ambassador was going to be there so it's you know it's looking uncomfortable it's not good at all so if on downing street is standing by them and it washington bought to reason may the prime minister will only be prime minister for a few more weeks the 2 men who want to replace or who are fighting it out jeremy hunt the foreign secretary. and today jeremy hunt finally got on to twitter and he said and basically accused the president of being rude these comments disrespectful and wrong to our british prime minister and my country and he went on to say that if you became prime minister sic him would stay in place where yet to hear from boris johnson on. what do these unflattering words about the president what does it have to do with bricks that i mean why did the us president start talking about to resume a in briggs' and so is the timing of this leak significant in any way you know many

people think it is i mean for one thing the u.k. is desperate for a trade deal with the us post brics it also who is behind this story well we don't know but we do know that the journalist is about shot is a cambric said to herself she is an ally of nigel for raj knight a fraud is the populist politician who's year a skeptic someone who trumps likes who in the past has tweeted that he would make a great u. s. he is likely. he would not be good in that job but still we know we know that there's a possibility i mean we you know. we don't know official that that is what's behind this there are other conspiracy theories that happen even the russians behind this there's an investigation that may never know the truth of what this was a problem secrets are leaked to the public you see what could happen thank you. news

a massive law enforcement. agencies around the world has targeted crime groups involved in the trafficking of steroids and other performance enhancing drugs the busts led to the seizure of millions of doping substances. it was one of the biggest ever global crackdowns on performance enhancing drugs and other illicit medicine the europol led operation was aided by the world anti-doping agency and the figures were eyeopening agencies in 33 countries seized 24 tons of raw steroids amid a hole of 3800000 substances. the numbers are impressive and clearly reflect in large markets and large interest in such substances group of amateur sports people . europe poll said there had been 234 arrests in europe as well as the closure of 9 underground drug labs where the confiscated substances
