italy loses patience with the uncontrolled flow of illegal migrants by the arab spring demanding that its fellow e.u. countries share the burden that countries badly hit economy is bad. maritime route along russia's northern coast gets cargo ships flowing turning the taken to a commercial. americans to police are held to account for their excessive use of force as crowds take to the streets nationwide in protest of top stories this is. not from a studio center here in moscow this is r.t.

with you twenty four hours a day italy is demanding the e.u. takes emergency action on the migrant crisis that has hit the country rome wants an overhaul of europe's asylum policies as well as for other bloc members to take responsibility tens of thousands of flooded italy many fleeing from conflicts and revolutions that have shaken the middle east and north africa many make the perilous journey on dangerously overcrowded boats and never make it the latest disaster so more than five hundred drowned italy's prime minister has warned his european colleagues this tragedy would not be the last. well here's a detailed look at the routes asylum seekers are taking many syrians travel towards greece turkey and the majority of north african migrants head to the italian island of lampedusa and sicily i'll go in a moroccan national say alive it's a france or spain now france is among the most popular destinations alongside germany and the u.k. but it's italy and greece that bear the brunt as according to e.u.

laws asylum seekers entering without authorization are obliged to remain in the country they first arrived in now here are some numbers for you official statistics suggest that migrants from outside the e.u. amount to more than twenty million in italy every twentieth man is a registered immigrant while thousands are believed to live there illegally in greece the numbers even higher at more than seven percent of the population and the amount of asylum applications in italy has increased by more than one hundred percent compared to last year what is your position of reports on those who prefer a life in limbo to the chaos of home. they want to buy food from if your puter saddam than 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 from the cameras and now they're risking being sent back when we were at sea now the boat with refugees sank and over three hundred people died but we were lucky and insists we will manage to avoid getting registered it's illegal

between need to go further north there is nothing for us here under e.u. regulation all newcomers must seek asylum in the country where they are right and under italian law anyone of voiding 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 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 the flow of refugees is only going to continue the work is going on r.t. italy. earlier we talked to philip plies a member of the european parliament about how the e.u. can address the worsening my current crisis he says while the laws must be tightened the e.u. should also help the regions where the refugees are coming from. i think we have to see to it that many of these people people that are really a real refugees that they should be held in their region that would be the most ideal situation because it's just not possible for the e.u.

to accept all the refugees coming from syria from sudan from all these countries that have serious problems we tend just not have them all coming to the european union what we should do is help these countries help these regions to to to to accept refugees there to help the refugees there so that they can go back to that country as soon as possible as soon as the problems are being under control meanwhile another migrant community that's already made its way into the e.u. has taken to the streets to defend its right to stand. in london's chinatown hundreds of march to protest against a recent increase in raids on border control officials local businesses lay down their tools and join the rani blowing whistles and waving banners organizers of the walkout say the raids have caused considerable hurt their trade and distress among

legal migrants. nationwide protests against police brutality have been held across the us activists are calling for an end to impunity for officers accused of abuse who human rights groups claim often shielded by the so-called war on terror and started checking the reports from one of the rallies. in new york 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 when it's the eighteenth time these people gather on this simple message this is not a judge to be how they treat us they shoot us i gotta moves and that's completely unwarranted is literally on warranted when something breaks through like trayvon martin. 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 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 were being stopped and frisked being gunned somehow criminal 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 are currently 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 being found guilty even if he's convicted he gets out on good behavior after serving minimal time activists and families of victims called police brutality in the u.s. a pandemic they say considering the unite. states lectures the rest of the world on human rights it's time to follow its own example by not just words but deeds. and police brutality is the subject of today's break in the sense with abby martin you may find some of the following images graphic now here's a preview of what's coming up later today. according to national criminal justice reference service forty three percent of cops i agree that quote always following the rules is not compatible with getting

the job done according the bureau of justice statistics between four hundred and five hundred innocent people are murdered by law enforcement officers every year. for. breaking the set coming away a little later here a naughty melting ice in the arctic may be of huge concern to scientists but it's of huge appeal to commercial shipping the north sea route running along russia's north coast is open up as global temperatures rise and is likely to prove quite a draw to vessels from asia when early in my colleague you know ship of one of a talk to a business presenting pilbeam about why it's such a big deal. well there's two main reasons for this the first one is the potential to save billions of dollars in shipping costs because the route is much shorter than say the suez canal so talking less fuel the more business trips that can be

made throughout but it secondly it reduces dependency on the suez canal which is always prone to destruction or because of tensions in the middle east as we know and even even pirates and who's going to benefit them kate this is the interesting part because one of the biggest benefit is will be russia and that's because russia has the advantage of where it sits on the map and will be able to see actually the route that it's going to be taking and it will be travelling across all these old shipping towns would be over to see a ship bobbing along just there and that will in force. really is in the structure i'm talking about the multiplier effect as well because money will be brought into these regions and of course benefit also russia has expertise in terms of icebreaking as well which a lot of these countries that do want to get into the region don't have so they can take advantage of all of this means in the long haul competition more commercializing the arctic in the long run and it's no wonder that you've got the

likes of south korea china india is lee all these countries wanting to get a piece of the pie because we know this part of the world has a quarter of all the oil and gas reserves as well. it would be twenty four hours a day still to come on the program the day of the tragedy. it was right here at about two pm local time that a blast ripped through the bus twenty nine. six dead dozens in hospital all to reconstruct the timeline of the volgograd bombing attack and looks at the new face of modern terrorism. one of the wonderful strong arming allies the new knowledge base you know.

the pleasure to have you with us here on our team today i'm researcher. dramas that truth be ignored. stories others who refuse to notice. the faces changing the world. so picture of today's new lot longer from around the globe. looking.

this is r t live here in moscow we've got news just in concerning greenpeace and the piracy charges being dropped here on r.t. but we'll come to that a little bit later for you when we get more details but first a roadside service has been held for the victims of monday's suicide bus bombing in the russian city of volgograd six people were killed while doctors are still fighting for the lives of those critically hurt in the blast audience in france has been reconstructing the events of that fateful day. october twenty first started just like any other monday here in boca gras people woke up with places to go and things to get but 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 it's a one person got on board thirty year old why you don't see all of that is when things took a tragic turn anastasio the very on the ball 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 say trade life it was the roof. when the blast hit everything around me when flying and from that moment i don't remember anything on the 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 buses fuel systems but aside from the shop they fell they asked themselves that this was a gas explosion was the fire. and that that was the safety record because 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 let 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 tale shrapnel t.n.t. and a grenade the accident site became a crime scene while r.c.l. over a jihad just 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 bessie oliver 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 gado and went back to downtown volgograd right now investigators are trying to find out whether this move

had been planned in advance or are over 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 a c. all of us has been dimitri sokolov 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 frantz r.t. in volgograd and if you want to know more about the tragedy log on to our website www dot com there we've got witness accounts dash cam footage and details about the personality of the woman who allegedly carried out the attack. and we're

getting some news just in here on r.t. something i mentioned a little early and that is that russia has dropped piracy charges against a group of thirty greenpeace activists who attempted to board a drilling rig in the arctic instead they're now being charged with hooliganism which carries a maximum sentence of seven years and activists claim they were only trying to protest against drilling activities in the arctic russia's been under huge international pressure over this case and we'll get more on these developments live from our correspondent a little later this hour. saudi arabia america's closest ally in the gulf says it no longer wants to be dependent on its big brother because of its foreign policy this new shift could bring about a variety of problems for washington the worst being a possible disruption of oil sales going to teach cohen explains. so much. 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 irritation 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 this. security council so could an ally be turning into a foe i spoke with professor. the u.s. has invested a lot in the relationship with saudi arabia and now saudi reviews slightly to the u.s. from talking points 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. world so for saudi arabia specially mr bundy to take this solution is a little astonishing i mean i think i don't think that there will be a total disconnect but if there will be one it will be in the best interest of us on the whole. the u.s. would not be associated with a country that if you generate thought of terrorism it will not be associated with a leader like this but 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 but the u.s. has underestimated dynamic before with saddam hussein he was an ally of one point with them with a hidden 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 i'm back now to our developing story here this hour r.t. russia has dropped piracy charges against a group of thirty greenpeace activists who attempted to board a drilling rig in the arctic instead they're now being charged with hooliganism straight now to artie's marine a closer look at what we know so far in this. hi bill well obviously the main change relates to the sentence that they are now facing as opposed to seven years or fifteen years in fact which is what the sentence was the maximum for piracy there are now facing just seven now let's not forget that lattimer putin was of course always opposed to these piracy charges but once again the government has

nothing to do with the orders of the court and the investigative committee today announced that these charges will now be dropped to her like an ism but they did say that they will continue their ongoing investigation into all the witnesses that they have to see what charges if any different they might be facing now again just to remind you that over a month ago these protests claimed that there were only trying to protest the drilling procedures that were taking place in the arctic but there was a lot of back and forth as to whether the their activities were in fact legal whether they abuse their power they were on that ship and of course russia has received quite a lot of backlash with. a lower reacts coming forward citing the petition for these activists to be free and just now we heard that the constitutional court has and this is in fact what will be happen in the investigative committee is now dropping those charges to look in ism and they will be facing the thirty activists involved will be facing seven years and fifteen and of course we'll be monitoring this situation as it develops marina thanks very much indeed for that live update. now
