the but. this is really is coming to you live from above and you can prime minister boris johnson heads to europe to try and persuade berlin and paris to change the brakes if agreement and scrappy irish backstopped suggest johnson commissioner will not run and here is one reason why i support what i'm concerned is the people will train. from the reporter problem as an excuse

to start another war. people in northern on in fear johnson's plans will spark a return to the violence of the past also coming up finding a way out of its nice little crisis the country into uncertainty one day after the prime minister resigned we look at the options now facing italy. and violence in office and the. rest have to walk the government in a house and police and other security forces to quell the unrest brute force and what's fueling the protests. played. out and welcome. british prime minister barak johnson is coming to berlin to try and persuade chancellor angela merkel to reopen

briggs's negotiations johnson is demanding the removal of the so-called backstop the policy previously agreed by the u.k. and the e.u. to ensure there be no hard border on the island of ireland johnson claims the backstop would violate british sovereignty the existing just doesn't work for the u.k. in politics and out 3 times we can have this backstop so i'm going to go to see our friends in. germany and then to france and then see the g 7 appear it's not going to make the point that the buck stops going to come out. but he only does have already rejected johnson's demands to reopen the majority agreement jilly's macca said so far no one had come up with an alternative to the backstop as a way of preserving the northern ireland peace accord known as the good friday agreement the moment if we get a practical arrangement on how to preserve the good friday agreement while still defining the borders of the european single market we would no longer need the backstop. this means we will think about practical solutions if you have the will

to find solutions you can do so quickly the european union is ready to do that but we do not need to reopen the withdraw agreement accomplished. so in a moment we'll have more on what looks set to be a difficult meeting between mekel and johnson this evening but 1st we go to northern ireland to look at what the backstop means for people on the ground and at their fears that in order to brag to reignite the conflicts in the north teri schultz has this report. on one of the most popular activities these days for visitors to belfast is a troubles 2 or 337 people. there were. there were people. guides like paul donnelly navigate what's called a history of terror but many fear history could be repeated deadly clashes between

protestant supporters of british rule and catholics wanting to unite with the republic of ireland were largely ended 2 decades ago by a power sharing deal known as the good friday agreement but now the looming prospect of a new deal breck's it could mean the return of checkpoints along the irish border and that has people like donnelly warning that former anti british guerrillas known as dissident republicans might have bandon the peace process with the ends of the hard border it gives the public comes the contemporary justification. but for their balance you know it's not just ideological it's saying this is an abstract anymore look at those points along the border this is deferential and what they see is that's part of the heart and from the rest of it that all of their. worries over a hard border and the loss of other rights are compelling even some former pro british loyalists to consider the once unthinkable uniting northern ireland and the republic of ireland the good friday agreement means northern ireland can take

a vote on doing just that belfast new lord mayor john finn you can wants to make sure citizens are well educated about their options while hoping they'll back unification his party should faine openly lobbies for that it's a cause that colored his life he was just 9 years old when he saw his father a prominent republican human rights lawyer shot dead by pro british paramilitaries despite getting death threats himself as he took office in may and you can believe the time is right to move forward will be bracks it doesn't automatically mean that unification will happen but what i do think is that it means that the conversation because the conversation has already started not just from people within the north but people all over the island of ireland and certainly within europe as well. 50 years after the bloodiest period in northern ireland's history a time when moralize where so many walls and gates around this city no one i spoke

with believes that addressing the question of a united ireland now would lead the country back into that kind of sectarian conflict at the same time no one is completely confident it won't. really hutchens and city council member from the progressive unionist party served 16 years in prison for 2 sectarian murders hutchinson says he's rejected violence but he's worried others haven't what i'm concerned about is people will try to use. a result from the border as an excuse to start another war. at queen's university belfast professor colin harvey says people are anxious about the possible impact of unification but also frustrated with britain the british government has behaved recklessly and their responsibly in relation to this region for some time people look at what's happened in britain or in private and it's been picked honestly spin a ball like alter disasters mass that the british system sees are falling apart and

i think there's a real feeling on this island that we need to materially and sensibly manage and plan a conversation whatever the outcome of this you know find a sort of agreed way forward recent surveys suggest most people in northern ireland prefer to stay part of britain for now but those who want to united ireland say they are in no hurry expecting chaotic to help. and joining me now is due to get correspondent hans van welcomes joslin leg is already ruled out any renegotiation of the big 6 primes to bars johnson insists the backstop moscow is there any point in the meeting this evening well there's always a point in beating there's always a point and talking and getting to know the position of the other person and getting to know that other person a little bit more intimately in more detail so yes there is certainly point in talking and in fact that hasn't closed the doors to any negotiation whatsoever she

said that the european union too is not really interested in this backstop if other alternative arrangements can be found the european union is prepared to talk about that and to agree to it if they are. in the fold that the european union can agree to but of course those kind of arrangements have so far in 3 years or so of negotiations not been fall and the start of possibility there could be for all we've lost people in the streets in building here what they think about this let's have a look at what they feel this is going to pan out. i don't think boris johnson will do that. i hope things stay as they are i think that would be better for europe. and derby of course so much money into it they'll do it what kind of news just flowing through the congo breaking things out that you've just about managed to bring together it's a book clubs events i finish up they just want to make it it's already taken so long i think in the end they'll remain because it's easier then van to be pretty dumb to give in to johnson now. for

a majority of course one briton to stay on in the e.u. but you did revise johnson hopes that the e.u. will at some point that down if it relies is at the back of the agreement will not go through the british parliament as it's failed to do 3 times do you think he's being this hot ball game and hoping that the e.u. will blink at some point and given maybe that's what he's hoping he's certainly trying to play hardball and that's something he's going to sell to his electorate back in great britain that might be another strategy behind that he might be interested in going to an election with that kind of position with that kind of hardball position towards the e.u. he might have another agenda that goes beyond actual back start negotiations they want to call that but we have to see that there's a backstop as the would already say is a kind of full back position both for the united kingdom and for the european union because one has not been able to find any other alternative arrangement you don't

need to reopen negotiations on the withdrawal agreement to get rid of backstop if you can find some way of solving this no than i don't problem that is acceptable to both sides and as i've said that's been a search has been going on for a long time johnson also vaguely talks about alternative arrangements but nobody knows what that could be at the moment so at the moment the backstop is all there is but surely the e.u. might have something obviously that bars johnson can take back home and set it as progress because it's not in the interests of the e.u. in the end to have brakes it. i have seen no indication of the e.u. actually backing down in any way whatsoever see no indication of the e.u. saying well we are possibly prepared to offer boris johnson this all of that in the opening there is actually to talk about alternative arrangements that might replace the backstop which is actually something that is full seen and that is said in the withdrawal agreement and in the political

a declaration that accompanies that agreement there's a transition period that has been agreed on that would go until the end of 2020 during which all of these details would to be negotiated if one can find a solution of course that could be agreed to but as i say i don't see any sign of some kind of other solution coming up in the near future right stunned political correspondent thank you very much if that's mean. let's articulate at some of the stories making news around the world beijing has confirmed that an employee of the british consulate in hong kong went missing earlier this month is being held in china a spokesman for the chinese foreign ministry said simon chang had been placed in administrative detention of 15 days as the punishment of breaking a public security until. the number of wildfires in brazil's amazon rain forest has hit a record this year that's according to new data from the country's national institute

for space research there's been an 83 percent increase in fires compared to the same period last year the news comes off to present as yet about sonata fired the institute's director in a dispute over the accuracy of statistics. more than 80 refugees stranded on the spanish risk of boat for 19 days have now disembarked on the italian island of lampedusa italian government had refused to let the vessel open arms reach italian shores the d. earlier prosecutors ordered that the migrants be allowed entry to italy. staying with italy in the country has been damaging to uncertainty following the resignation of the prime minister just sepic on day and the collapse of the government conti has attacked the far right interior minister matteo salvini saying it provoked the crisis for political gain in a few hours the president of italy is due to sound political leaders to see if

a new coalition can be formed or if the country will head for new elections. cheers and jeers for the italian prime minister as he arrived at the senate in rome for a crucial debate on the government's future. in a dramatic move he resigned from his post bringing italy's populist government to a swift end after just 14 months in power. accused interior minister vini of being the sole architect of the country's seemingly endless political crisis. you days are the reasons that lead me to call the decision to spark the government crisis extremely irresponsible but. i must say that the interior minister has shown he is acting out of personal and party interest for the. country blasted sound the need for breaking up the right wing

coalition with the intent of going it alone. we don't need men with absolute power. but people with a strong sense of responsibility. however salvini the leader of italy's right wing league party told senators that he treated the government crisis because he's not afraid of an early vote. so when my will do everything that i did all over again. everything with a great strength of being a free man. it means i'm not afraid of being judged by the italian. the judith's or the youth and. his supporters were also asked in forced chanting

elections now elections now salvini has made clear his bid for power and his popularity is steadily on the rise because of his anti migrant policy the government's collapse has plunged italy even deeper into one of its worst political crises in recent years. max and joins me now from rome max the elections that are new coalitions seem to be the 2 options available what happens next. that's right emirates have a government crisis is in full swing and now the ball is in the president's courts this is president of italy he will have to find a solution to carry on with the with the governing office country and one of them could be to find an alternative coalition which could be the 5 star movement that has been in power self so far but with a different coalition partners than of the league with the center left party

however the p.t. party is not yet sure if they really want to join this governing coalition they said they might do so if they have a strong consensus within the party a strong majority for a sustainable government the other option would be for to install. a caretaker government that would take us to new elections this however would not be before october or even november because there is a constitutional process that has to be followed new elections as well to fall right into them as a salvini is hoping for that he think accused of engineering this whole political crisis how popular is the in the country. salvini is a popular figure in italy but he's also a very polarizing figure he has been extremely vocal as an extremely tough stance on the migration issue here in the country as well as issues involving the european

union which he is very very skeptical off but according to recent polls just before the government crisis we have to add he was. good coming out stronger and stronger he according to recent polls he is at 7 his party is at 37 percent right now which could mean that together with other far right parties he could even. have a whiff of came to elections be in charge of government himself. you know what do people there max and make of the collapse of the government just after 14 months of governance. it's hard to say at the moment this is the peak of holiday season a lot of italians are at the beaches minding other business and the government crisis but i guess most people will be very worried especially when everything comes back to normal here in italy there's a few issues on the table few issues on the agenda for example italy will have to present their budgets for 2020 to the e.u.

later this year and if they're not able to do this because election campaign in enforcing this might lead to an increase of the crease at the sales tax of 3 percent up to 25 percent and that is something a lot of italians are worried about this is going to have a knock on effect. on wages and also of course what people are buying so in the end people are worried and they're going to feel this at some point next sunday indra thank you very much and one of the most powerful people in the roman catholic church cardinal george pell has failed to have his conviction on child sex abuse charges over time once the vatican's treasured a is 7 a success sentence for sexually abusing 2 quiet boys in the 1990 s. . led away in disgrace 78 year old george pell leaves the supreme court of victoria and meldon he once dominated australia's catholic church now he's a common prisoner appeals judges a found
