good morning from the entire news team here in moscow. live on our top headlines for this hour. a shake up of europe's asylum policy because it struggling to deal with a p.d. of immigrants that things have just gotten worse over the last several years as large numbers of refugees flee conflicts in the middle east and north africa some of which were fueled by italy's more hawkish e.u. colleagues more than a half arrived on migrant ferry risking their lives for asylum many never make it italy and greece are among the most affected putting pressure on their already burdened economies are let's bring us the numbers for you here you know what we're talking about here official statistics suggest that migrants from outside the e.u. now amount to more than twenty million and to every twentieth man is

a registered migrant. in greece the number is even higher now more than seven percent of the population and the number of asylum applications in italy has increased by more than one hundred percent just compared to last year and greece is only second to germany when it comes to the highest number of pending applications let's get more details on the problems now with r.t. correspondent you go to prison off. they want to buy the food from and the opium to saddam then traveled to libya and finally reached sicily after what must have been the most nerve wrecking ball right of their lives these three women are hiding their faces from the camera since now they're risking being sent back when we were at sea now the boat with refugees sank into a three hundred people died but we were lucky and in sicily we managed to void getting registered it's illegal between need to go further north there is nothing for us here under regulation all newcomers must seek asylum in the country where they are right and under italian law any one of voting registration is sent home

but nowadays more and more newcomers are ready to take their chances don't register to try to go to northern states where there are more opportunities probably when you arrive here they give you the very minimum there is no jobs no school and you sleep in the street for six months italy is one of the worst european states in this regard youth unemployment has exceeded forty percent while the economy is in the worst recession since the second world war international obligations and plain human principles can't allow italy to turn away refugees since for many is the only chance for survival but the situation is now which to a point when this duty has become too heavy for it to handle on its own the e.u. has pledged italy would receive an additional thirty million euro or just over forty million dollars to deal with the refugee crisis but how will this help to distribute the more evenly throughout the union and integrate them into the economy is not clear they have been so on ideas so far the sherry they may be some positive

. and i see embodies a lot of. good hope but no concrete ideas and as governments and international organizations brainstorm the solution one thing is certain the flow of refugees is only going to continue you've got this kind of italy. the fight against police brutality you have seen protesters come out across the u.s. . a rally is against the heavy arm of the war held in a number of cities and associate trucking i went to one to find out why the people are so angry in new york and dozens of other cities across the u.s. a national day of protest to stop police brutality repression and the criminalization of a generation this is a time when trying to second marks the eighteenth time these people gather for the simple message this is not a gentle to how they treat us they shoot us like animals and that's typically unwarranted is literally on warranted when something breaks through like trayvon

martin. lee graham or sean bell it gets treated in the media like this is a isolated incident something that rarely happens and then more often it's not reported at all organizers have been documented cases of what they call the stole lives project they say just over the last two decades thousands of killings have taken place by the hand of police officers they say the majority of these cases have been under reported or brushed aside hundreds every year were killed by the police that the majority of them were unarmed and not involved in any criminal activity when they were killed and also the majority of them were young and either black or latino in the mass media is a very good propaganda saw a lot of people under the impression that people are being stopped and frisked who are being gunned down somehow criminals one of the major concerns for these protesters seems to be the lack of accountability when it comes to gun violence

police brutality and even killings that occur under the hands of law enforcement they see the justice system continues to neglect these cases of violence thus not doing anything to improve the system and bring about real change you have to go through hell and high water just to get a conviction of the officer and what he's convicted for doesn't meet the crime to he's accused any winds up if not he and found guilty eva. if he's convicted he gets out on good behavior after serving minimal time activists and families of victims called police brutality in the us a pandemic considering the united states lectures the rest of the world on human rights it's time that it begin to follow its own example not just words but deeds. are still to come here on r t washington and its most useful friend in the middle east are going through a rough patch saudi arabia says it's reconsidering its partnership after the u.s.

lives would change when they took that ride. the route ran without incident from morning till afternoon until one person got on board thirty year old lie you see all about that is when things took a tragic turn anastasio the very honorable was on her way home from classes at the university laughing and talking with the other students crucially it was in the middle of the bus which saved her life it was the roof of our troops when the blast hit everything around me when flying and from that moment i don't remember anything on there recall being thrown onto her window then suddenly finding myself on the street and in a panic i realised something had happened to my hands i was covered in blood it was right here at about two pm local time that a blast ripped through bus twenty nine filled with about forty people first responders thought it was perhaps a malfunction of the bus fuel systems but aside from the shop they felt to ask themselves if this was a gas explosion was the fire. and that that was the city that everybody in the

blast was touching their faces and heads asking what happened what happened there was a lot of blood on them and a lot of flesh everywhere i was very afraid i got out of my car and i saw a head lying there i mean my friend took a young boy and his father to the hospital the remnant of an explosive device told the tale shrapnel t.n.t. and a grenade the accident site became a crime scene while r.c.l. over a jihadist from the republic of dagestan became the central focus of the investigation and then the story took another twist the attack wasn't meant for volgograd at all as the all of a had apparently taken a detour. she had purchased a ticket to moscow and boarded an intercity boss that passed through volgograd when the bus was almost at the city limits i see all of our gateau and went back to

downtown belgrade right now investigators are trying to find out whether this move had been planned in advance or are altered the plan along the way looking for a place packed with as many people as possible also under suspicion are three men believed to have helped in the plot to attack the russian capital two from dagestan wanted for twin terror attacks there in two thousand and twelve were said to be waiting for her in moscow on his way there was an aussie all of us husband dmitri sokol of an ethnic russian convert to islam missing since two thousand and twelve some reports suggest the couple had an argument shortly before the attack which may have caused a last minute change in her deadly plans authorities will be keen to find her husband in the hope he may have the answers lindsey france r.t. in volgograd it is well known that terrorists plot their attacks hidden away in small clusters called cells for terrorism nowadays could be changing with criminals

a moscow university or thorazine believe that at the very same time these appeals were being made public plans for monday's volgograd bus bombing were being hatched and those who donated rubles to help a sick woman or phoned in information to help a distressed mother later discovered that those capable of carrying out such atrocities don't always shun mainstream society and in some cases play an active part in it. the witness accounts. she apparently used to get. the program revelations of. the country's politicians in a state of shock. if you're going to follow. another reporter exposes the alleged. swarm of spyware

a disruption to oil supplies however white house officials insist the route was no big deal and saudi's guy nature can explains they have been wrong before. saudi arabia hates the fact that he was didn't bomb syria saudi arabia did everything possible to make it happen and he didn't saudi arabia hates iran and any mentioning of a possible nuclear deal between the us and iran washington and tehran are far from any deal really but even the talk irritates saudi arabia so saudi arabia decided to go public with all that invitation the saudi prince bandar bin sultan said there will be quote a major shift away from the us and that it will affect arms purchases and oil sales and most recently citing a protest against the us saudi arabia refused the seat at the un security council so could an ally be turning into a follow up i spoke with professor. the u.s. has invested a lot in the relationship with saudi arabia and now saudi arabia is rightly the us

i mean talking all supplies and all we're is this alliance going where the u.s. . heavy price by supporting saudi arabia or saudi arabia and many of the gulf countries are probably the most undemocratic the most corrupt. and they have contributed to the sense of alienation between the you. know who are. specially. to take this position on issues. i think i don't think that there will be a total disconnect but if there would be one it would be in the best interest of the us on the whole. the u.s. would not be associated with a country that is the generator of terrorism it would not be associated with

a leader like but who is. playing a major role in the bloody war going on and supporting terror the u.s. now downplays this shift with saudi arabia possibly thinking that the saudis are not going to go too far but the u.s. has underestimated dynamic before with saddam hussein he was an ally of one point with a majority in in afghanistan and other folks so in this case it all depends on how four saudi arabia is actually willing to go with this number in virginia i'm going to strike them now in qatar simple rhymes can land you in prison a court has upheld a fifteen year sentence for a poet who was found guilty of insulting the ruler and inciting people to oust the government a decision for the activist who was sympathetic to the arab spring has been condemned by rights organizations and the glass mcguinn research from human rights watch says the case clearly has

a political slant. what we've seen of the poms that were on board it onto the internet but doesn't seem to be a say that he's guilty of these offenses and of course you know these offenses are a country it's international standards of freedom of expression and we saw it does seem to be a case that has a political slant to it yes it gives out a bit amount of material treated pretrial here in addition to that it wasn't present for many of the original trial stations and friday wasn't even present for the the final court of appeal decision which was a yesterday morning when i was you know pressure on both green marching a lot of pressure mean a lot of the emirates and count i was doesn't have the same levels of the mastic dissenters either it's the same story the issue where they are getting pressures migrant workers' rights no boy but generally speaking i think the international community can be a bit silent where the goals can sound and obviously. to some extent enables them to as you say to get away with some serious human rights violations. part of r.t.

confrontation might be in the lead to both and civil rights activist norman solomon he thinks the u.s. is trying to undo the damage to its image but isn't even thinking about changing its policies. president obama is extremely adept at dancing through this kind of a firestorm and saying that he's willing to disclose and willing to be more forthcoming and he's willing to re-evaluate frankly he said that earlier this year when there was a big speech he gave in washington about the use of drones and yet we saw almost no change in actual policy once it could be measured so i think one way to put that in context is that after secretary of state kerry arrived in paris in the last day he told a news conference that he would not discuss intelligence matters so there's a lot of fog coming from the white house and the state department not
