7:02 am
thailand islands of learn to do that and to sicily algerian and moroccan nationals say either to france or to spain france is among the most populous states migrants choose as their final destination alongside germany the u.k. and official statistics suggest migrants from outside the e.u. amount to more than twenty million in easily every twentieth man is a registered in grant ingres the number is even higher at more than seven percent of the population the number of asylum applications in italy has increased by more than one hundred percent compared to last year and greece is second only to germany when it comes to the highest number of pending applications and more on the problem now from preschool. 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 off their lives these three women are hiding their faces
7:03 am
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 will manage to void get it registered its 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 anyone 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 principle scandal it only to turn away a refugee since for many is the only chance for survival but the situation is now
7:04 am
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 of the cherry they may be some positive development 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 flow of refugees is only going to continue the work is going to italy. the fight against police brutality has same protesters come out across the u.s. rallies against they have the arm of the law were held in a number of cities that are his and assess a trick and i went along to one to find out why people are so angry. in new york
7:05 am
and dozens of other cities across the west a national day of protest to stop police brutality repression and the criminalization of a generation this is a time which lends a second marks the eighteenth time these people gather for the simple message it's not a joke to be how they treat us they shoot us like animals and the best of the unwarranted is literally on warranted when something breaks through like trayvon martin remar league re-emerged 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
7:06 am
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 are under the impression that people are being stopped and frisked who are being gunned 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 accuse anyone so if not he and found guilty even if he's convicted he gets out on good behavior after serving minimal time activists and families of victims called police who were tallied in the u.s.
7:07 am
a pandemic they say considering the united states lectures the rest of the world on human rights it's time that idiom to follow its own example by not just words but deeds instance which are going to artsy why you know new york a. washington on its was useful friend in the middle east are going through a rough patch sounding rabia says it's reconsidering its partnership after the uars failed to strike syria and promise talks with iran over america is downplaying the drama saying it or why it's. also later this hour a new open in maritime route along russia's northern coast attract a steady flow asian cargo ships and she's business group katie pilbeam joins us now live in a few minutes to explain why this is important for international trade. a road that has been held in volgograd in memory of the six victims of a suicide bombing on monday all the forty others were wounded with doctors still
7:08 am
fighting to save the lives of the critically hurt lindsey france piece together what happened on that day from the unassuming start to the horrifying and. october twenty first started just like any other monday here in boca gras people woke up with places to go and things to get done heavily using bus stations just like this but for several people needing bus number twenty nine they could never have foreseen how quickly their 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 why you don't see all of that is when things took a tragic turn and it starts to the very end of the it 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 stayed true to life it was the roof. when the blast hit everything around me when flying and from that moment i don't remember
7:09 am
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 if that was the safety record in the car 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 the 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 shrapnel t.n.t. and a grenade the accident site became a crime scene while
7:10 am
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 dimitri sokol of an ethnic russian convert to islam missing since two thousand and twelve
7:11 am
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. and on our website we've got witness accounts dash cam footage and wrong the alleged perpetrators and you can also find out just who this side bomber was and how much influence she had in radical islamist circles. a south korean cargo vessel has passed the north of the sea route along russia's chorused it's only the second asian country to start using this route for trade but the passage is becoming more popular after opening up due to the melting ice in the arctic and probably weighs here with me in the studio to explain why it's actually a pretty good idea to use
quote
7:12 am
a cage is there it is becoming more and more popular the reason for it was an abundance of reasons but there's probably three main reasons i think the number one has to be the cost because it's that much shorter and therefore it costs less money to transport your ship across that amount of c i'm talking about fuel payments to employees as well so it is less costly if we talk about days you'll be able to see how it travels across so from russia to south korea for instance the route that you spoke about that was thirty five days that's ten days shorter than the suez canal which is known as the vice. of world trade and secondly it reduces dependency on the suez canal so they go hand in hand which is always prone to disruption as we know because of tensions in the released and even pirates for instance and that the because although still incredibly complex and and dangerous the region is getting
7:13 am
easier to transport we know that the region it's warming up and therefore it's getting easier to transport through three main reasons that cause dependency in an easy shore but who will benefit from it and. i think one of the main benefit is have to be russian that's because the route it's obviously going to tell. wait i'm talking about little small shipping towers and a large amount of money is going to be in force upon infrastructure that means investments and obviously the ships are going to be stopping off too so it's going to have the multiplier effects money and money into the regions the people that are going to lose out obviously the suez canal in the long run and singapore being a huge marina help as well this is all in the long term as i say and really the people are going to benefit the people taking advantage of the situation now as we can see the route fleet is there so it really is it possible that this route will become been normal and finally
7:14 am
a challenge that swears can now that i think that's the really interesting thing about it because i think in the long term we're talking maybe a hundred years yes but in the media and perhaps not let's remember they're in it can only be used in the summer so we're talking three four months a year that this can be used. as well as that we know that there are huge advantages to using this particular route and as i say singapore will lose out the suez canal in the long run but i think it's evident to know that all these countries that don't even have a geographical place have got themselves on the panel on the arctic observateur they call it what china and india japan singapore italy so they must be something going on for everybody to want to get involved and let's not forget as well a quarter of the world's oil and gas is in the arctic and it's yet to be tapped into so there's that play into as well obviously very lucrative piece of course all
7:15 am
right kate if you will live here. thank you very much indeed for sharing this insight with us this is archie and coming up later in the program revelations of the sheer scale of n.s.a. spying in france has the country's politicians in a state of shock. if we are going to follow up in the same direction then confrontation might be the look to book that says another reporter exposed as they allege to u.s. surveillance of the yuan and the unleashing albeit small of spyware and find diplomatic compute. news today violence has once again flared up. and these are the images cold world
7:16 am
has been seeing from the streets of canada. showing corporations to rule the day.
7:17 am
you're watching archie's good to have you with us let's move on now america and his best friend and big golf maybe in for a difficult breakup saudi arabia's ruling family is upset with changes to u.s. foreign policy they once case scenario for washington could be a disruption to oil supplies however white house officials insist they raul is no big deal but as she is going to take on explains they have been wrong before. saudi arabia hates the fact that the u.s. didn't bomb syria saudi arabia did everything possible to make it happen and it didn't saudi arabia hates iran and any mentioning of a possible nuclear deal between the us and iran and 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 irritation the saudi prince bandar bin sultan said there will be quote a major shift away from the u.s. and that it will affect arms purchases and oil sales and most recently citing
7:18 am
a protest against the us saudi arabia refused the seat at the u.n. security council so could an ally be turning into a fog i spoke with professor daoud car alarm the u.s. has invested a lot in the relationship with saudi arabia and now saudi reviews right near the u.s. i mean talking all supplies and all we hear is this alliance going well. by supporting saudi arabia saudi arabia and many of the gulf countries are probably the most undemocratic the most corrupt and they are really a liability and they have contributed to the sense of alienation between the us and the arab world so for saudi arabia specially mr bundle to take this position is a little bit astonishing but i think i don't think that there will be
7:19 am
a total disconnect but if there will be one it will be in the best interest of the us on the whole and the u.s. will not be associated with a country that is a generator of terrorism it will not be associated with a leader like bhangra who is playing a major role in the bloody war going on in syria and supporting terrorists the u.s. now downplays this shift with saudi arabia possibly thinking that the saudis are not going to go too far that the u.s. has underestimated such dynamic before with saddam hussein he was an ally of one point with them when you're hitting 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 and going to strike them. now watch a birdie i should say a controversial choke artist by the provokes
7:20 am
a way to quickly literally make a political point about the president ahead of the election see more of his work online. and all range from orbit a european science satellite is expected to fall banks or earth after two and a half years working overtime it will split into more than picture pieces so where they will end up is still anyone's guess. and his latest official statement on n.s.a. spying in france the uighurs has labelled allegations that it looked at millions of phone calls a lie this hasn't stopped the newspaper le monde publishing another report about how america got the diplomatic upper hand by bugging computers and the you on more than half a billion dollars was reportedly used to keep the trini spying program running the sibling of the notorious prison project it allegedly saw millions of machines by
7:21 am
walls and routes infected dominated overplan who served as the country's prime minister as well as interior and foreign minister says the us crossed the line we knew that. some practices were existed but the search and overall system came as a surprise for everybody in fact what we are seeing today is incredible privileges of the u.s. administration over the control of the world system we knew that the u.s. were controlling the financial system through the banking dominance of some big burns through the dollar currency reserve currency but controlling internet controlling the formation you know world this is it privilege and monopoly if we are going to follow up in the same direction then confrontation might be the look to book. civil rights activist norman solomon things the u.s. is trying to undo the damage to its image but it isn't even thinking about changing
7:22 am
its spy upon us as 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 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 a lot of substance a russian genuine has received a rather unusual souvenir from tehran and iranian made kopi of a u.s.
7:23 am
spy drone they want to iran says it chill down last chair tehran claims to have reverse engineer the device and decoded all the data it has stored and lately has even under veiled its own new drone designs that's talk about this live with a. professor of political communication at the university of tehran mr izadi welcome to n.c. thank you for joining us here over all nations why how much of this drone been given to russia that. well i think in the last many years iran has relations with russia has improved they have found common ground in areas like the syrian conflict. i think russia and president putin has adopted a more independent foreign policy. the new russia is not going to be pushed around by the united states or any other western powers and i think that fits you on swan
7:24 am
and policy and i think because of common history common border and common interests in international relations i think iran is trying to improve its relations with russia and i think that's just a sign of good gesture from the iranian side but it's quite interesting but the u.s. claims it has never lost any of the times of drone iran claims to have brought down and called paid is that tehran bluffing or maybe is that washington trying to save its face. well i think maybe the russian generals can decide on that issue. iran has been actually developing technology to be able to. basically take over. command and control of united states drones and as you remember about two
7:25 am
years ago there was another drone that was captured by iran initially the u.s. government claimed that it had not lost any drones and then when iran showed their own it showed the film of their own. the u.s. government changed its language and accepted the fact that iran had actually gotten the drone. because of the threats that iran is receiving from the united states as you know even about two weeks ago u.s. president barack obama he used that sentence all the options on the table which is a very of threatening iran militarily because israel is threatening iran militarily iran i think has decided to advance its military capability and this is just
7:26 am
a sign of improvement in iran's ability to be able to defend itself yes and back in twenty eleven the u.s. admits is that iran actually shot down and not the model of drone so does that mean it is able to fend off americans among spy planes and possibly american attacks as well. yes you know it's illegal for the united states to threaten iran militarily based on united states charged chapter one article two it's not only illegal to use force against the country it's the threat or use of force so threatening iran is also illegal sending drones into iranian territory is illegal and unfortunately the u.s. government is breaking international law. almost daily basis and unfortunately we do not have any condemnation from the united nations with the
7:27 am
international bodies so you don't feel that the only way to protect the country is just by advancing its defense capabilities and i think that's what the iranian government has been trying to do and apart from coping american drawings iran recently unveiled its own models of drones so does that mean that economic sanctions i don't have saying it's technological progress. right right you know we have a good number of good engineers in iran and they have been doing an excellent job not only in terms of military equipment even when you look at iran's nuclear program it's been developed based on you know the mystic. engineering advances iran is
7:28 am
a progress sing country about thirty five years ago you know iran was just some other third world country under u.s. domination but iranian people broke a very from that domination there was a revolution popular revolution here and says not time you have seen third world country in significant value has been able to advance both scientifically militarily and also being able to adopt an independent foreign policy and these are the issues that actually iranian people value that's why there was a revolution here thirty five years ago and this is the bay i think that's going to show the future for iran as well being able to advance in different areas. as far as. is already a professor of political communication at the university of tehran professor thank you very much indeed for sharing your insight with us thinking webber shared it.
