socialist movement are on the far fringes of american politics and that's also true about the anarchists left as well but they also penetrate deeper into the mainstream than most american political pundits would like to admit and we certainly there are elements of white nationalism in the mentality that leads to for example police shootings by white policeman against young black man and there's elements of the far left within the progressive left and even in terms of that level of militancy so on the one hand this is played this is definitely a far right versus far left story but it's almost like a team sport of politics where people who are perhaps not deeply invested in their own version of the left or the right are nevertheless sort of silently cheering for one or the other. it's about you and i do we stand divided we fall but i've.

fear of yet another conflict activist. says trump's rhetoric betrays the lack of genuine u.s. concern for the island. is used by the united states it defends the united states but it's not really the united states if kim jong il and the north koreans were to say that we are going to target off the coast of california or we're going to target off the coast of washington state or even target off the coast of hawaii there would be a very different response from the united states because you are directly threatening the homeland but what is the purpose of a territory or a colony the purpose of a colony is that you are exploited when things are good and if things get ugly you cut it loose the fact that trump speaks so recklessly and sort of impulsively only helps to underscore a lot of those those anxious tensions we're back with more of your monday headlines in just about.
3:18 am
anyone else seems wrong. but. just don't hold. me. to shape out this day as a kid and in the game equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want. to be this is what the three of them or people. interested in the war.
3:19 am
is turning twenty past the hour thanks for joining us here in the e.u. migration commission has called for member states to get tough on illegal immigrants and ensure that they get deported let's get more on this now across life to watch the correspondent emily soon are joining us here on the program and then a year or so ago this sort of rhetoric was hard to imagine coming from any top e.u. official what's exactly being said. what are you exactly right there's certainly been a change of threat track from the e.u. migration commissioner demitra from operatives who one year ago set that that you
3:20 am
should work harder to accept more asylum seekers take a listen to exactly what he said before let me remind you that you're already has the highest asylum standards in the world and we have to uphold those and a commitment to protect those seeking protection we need districts and more effective policy for deportation to few migrants are being deported the european states have to do more. now this change of tone really boils down to the policy for migrants and refugees really you know apparently falling apart with more and more countries refusing to take in more migrants we're talking about hungry we're talking about poland and the baltic states as well and the situation really has reaching a boiling point particularly in italy which has been bearing the brunt of all of the migrants arriving from the middle east as well as africa in search of a better life in europe we're talking about nearly one hundred thousand migrants has arrived in italy since the beginning of this year and in this particular small
3:21 am
town. well locals have been protesting against the building of this new refugee shelter for under eighteen migrants take a listen to why they don't want their photo did we have the police a minute proved a friend of mine and got into a car he was trying to bag we couldn't handle the situation any more i don't blame this i blame the government and in the wood they're doing i'm just here to see that we can't take it any more we don't want them here. we give them a place to sleep and we give them eighty euros a day but first we should be taken care of children our own people. well the mayor of this town says that the town's simply been left alone to handle this crisis alone here. modern europe. the european union we've never seen do anything here i don't think the e.u. has given us any real support the big expense for us comes from underage migrants who the town according to law has to take care of generally we will be reimbursed
3:22 am
around half of the expenses there are tens of thousands of your town is paying because of this now earlier there see it's really even threaten to close down its ports to all of the boats carrying migrants so we have to wait and see how e.u. officials were reacting to the situation and it's also how to restart a modern crisis as a whole. thank you. in the meantime abandoned vessels used by migrants to get across the mediterranean are regularly found like that right there on the italian coast of the boats come in under the cover of darkness that's thought to be in a bid to avoid detection by all the already used professor of modern european history paolo bernadino says officials are simply passing the buck as the situation continues to get worse while. the same is blaming this. and the fact is is now is the law.
