come back that you were struggling to hammer out a joint strategy for immigration on sunday there was a hastily convened sixteen nation mini summit but rather than producing any solutions that actually served to underscore existing divisions. we are putting forth a completely new proposal that aims to overcome the doubling of regulation we want to tackle the problem in a structural way public opinion is asking for this. this we know that add the european council on unfortunately we will not get a comprehensive solution to the migration problem and that is why by or trilateral agreements are mutually beneficial so should a fast on this issue friends will take no lessons from anyone this year where the

second country taken in the most asylum seekers' the values of europe a respect for human and individual rights everyone agreed. in the need to have a european commission. a common responsibility to the common challenge. all quarter examines the points of contention between you members. europe is very divided over the migration crisis and any agreements that are made between the e.u. member states are bound to be met with contradiction of the czech republic slovakia and poland they outright refused to attend today's summit they said it was a power move by merkel to control their domestic political situation and then you have other countries that are refusing to take in migrants outright italy last week refused a migrant vessel that was forced to land in spain while just a couple days ago malta also refused to another migrant vessel and you know these

actions they're not going on notice to e.u. leaders like emanuel macron i'm in favor of having mechanisms that take this into account we're going to have gum trees that massively benefit from e.u. so the dead sea and who massively claim their national selfish needs but when it comes to the topic. now at the conclusion of the summit merkel said the e.u. needs to focus on their agreement with turkey as a framework for agreements with other migrant origin countries but let's not forget how much this costs the e.u. it was three billion euros this sternly still a lot at stake for merkel because she actually just had a political standoff with her internal minister he wanted to turn away migrants at the german border even though they had been registered in other e.u. countries so with division apparent across europe it's hard to see how individual agreements between member states and more spending is going to do anything other than drive a wedge deeper within the heart of the e.u. . a man believed to be

a former bodyguard for osama bin laden is to be deported from germany after living in the country for more than twenty years sami a a forty two year old tunisian national reportedly joined al qaeda in the year two thousand he had entered germany on a student visa in one thousand nine hundred ninety seven and requested asylum in two thousand and six a court rejected his application describing the man as a danger for public security however he was not deported and he received regular welfare payments until april of this year when news of his case gained widespread widespread public. now for more on this we can go live to george samueli a senior research fellow at the global policy institute thanks for joining us now the german media broke this story in april and now he's being deported would this be happening if it wasn't for all the publicity. probably in art i mean i think that this is really the the big issue at the moment in throughout europe and in

particular in germany which is the massive migration flows into europe and the fact that essentially europe is unable to control its borders and that the people who are coming in and staying in europe sometimes as in this case for decades. the authorities have really very little control over them and this is becoming increasingly clear and so i think this is now a very serious source of embarrassment for the german government well speaking of that lack of control we have this instance of a terrorist suspect being able to live freely in germany for twenty years is it possible that there might be more similar cases. i would have thought it's very likely i mean keep in mind that of course the nine eleven attackers have spent the consumer the mounds of time in germany. and we already know that a number of the people who have. migrated into your

since two thousand and fifteen have already been involved in terrorism so i mean we have the paris generous the fact that it was clearly linked to people coming into your up through the middle east in two thousand and fifteen so you know it is almost absolute certainty because i am certain that there are many other terrorists living peacefully in europe and probably like this gentleman collecting welfare checks. specifically in this case family a had actually successfully argued against his deportation in the past saying he risked being tortured in his homeland is that a valid grounds for remaining in germany. not really because torture is something that. will go on almost everywhere i mean it. you know whether it be tunis remembered eunice's been or held up as the model of the.

of the of the arab spring it was the arab spring started in tunis and units is still being held up as the one place where the arab spring was successful and. torture is quite likely in tunis judas' is hardly the only country to or practices torture in the united states as practice torture. its practice is indefinite detention as in one time of so. it's not really a valid basis for us saying well we can't do it because it's torture well that means you are you can't actually they anybody anywhere i mean the only basis which you can say well this is valid to deny extradition request is if there's a likelihood of a death sentence and that is the internationally recognized grounds for denying an exhibition request if it seems that the person will be put to death but that's not the case here. the german governing coalition is also already deeply divided over

the asylum policy do you think that this case can put them under further pressure or is it just going to get swept up in the wave of issues that are present. well i think that it will be just swept up i mean there's a already a lot of. tension between the c.d.u. and the c.s.u. . and if they want once again this gentleman avoid extradition i mean this is i think more grist of the mill of the c.s.u. whose leader is actually the interior minister and so there will be even more frustration with the government that so many people are able to come here and then you know the centrally the german government to get them out so. if he's not extradited then i think that it's not going to be good for merkel george samuel a senior research fellow at the global policy institute thank you so much for your

time and your insight this evening thank you very much that's our wrap up of today's top headlines and the latest world cup highlights thanks for joining us this hour. back scousers financial survival guide. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificial mortgage group don't get carried away that's cause a report.

hello and welcome to cross talk or all things considered i'm peter lavelle has become quite fashionable in the political left to call anyone you don't like a nazi or hitler why is it come to this while the demonisation after all words have meaning and much much more on this edition of crossfire. cross talking political insults i'm joined by my guest mark sloboda he's an international affairs and security analyst we also have dmitri bob h. he's a political analyst with international and in cyprus we cross to alex cruciform he is he is the director and writer for the duran dot com all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want i always appreciate let me first go to you alex in cyprus. i've often said on this program

you have to be careful with your political rhetoric because it's almost impossible sometimes to walk it back now we're in an environment as i said in the introduction anyone you don't like is a nazi or adolf hitler it tells me that the mainstream media and some politicians particularly on the left have no idea what a nazi is or what hitler was all about go ahead alex yeah that they have i agree with you they have no idea what a nazi is or what it was about you're exactly right it shows that they've lost that debate based on facts whether you're talking about russia or investigation of the whole russia collusion thing or even a lot of what's being said about immigration i'm not going to take a position one way or another but it just shows that they don't want to argue based on facts or logic they just fall back straight to the identity politics if you. with that you're a fascist you're a nazi you're a white supremacist whatever they want to call you but it's also peter it's extremely dangerous because well call someone a nazi what's the press starts demonizing someone they become

a nazi it signals to the general public that that nazi has to be stopped right and when you want to stop that nazi you have to resort to the most extreme of violence and a lot of times the violence can be justified because someone can say well i was stopping the next hitler i was stopping the next nazi so it leads to a very dangerous place and it's hard to walk back from it mark. for our viewers please explain to them what happened not years after hitler came to power but in a matter of weeks ok it's you know within that i think six weeks hitler consolidated cool in germany and what did that mean you know he cancelled no trade unions absolutely tickle part of the press is completely suppressed distinguished off of their office on the right stock basically all arriving political forces were removed from the scene budgets existed formally there was

this does that's a. good start which means a lot for the protection of the state and the nation which basically made it impossible to impeach he to let you know you wait when people now are talking about elections in november often one thousand thirty three makes no sense to talk about elections hitler was not impeached even in one thousand nine hundred fifty four nine hundred forty five one drum and it was basically a losing the war that he started so if there is any parallel it's not between he do and trump if there are any people in europe who still adore him or his allies then look at the ukrainian government they passed a law recently which makes it illegal to criticize the ukrainian nationalist group . such as the ukrainian insurgent i mean we can ally themselves to the not to say in one thousand nine hundred you're wrong and can forty four in la to hear some of them s. ass for justice for this i still not steal they started to be revealed.

to stop to be a part of the soviet union in one thousand nine hundred one and that continues but it continued with under clinton it continued under obama the thing is for me market it's it tells me this is a mindset and get mentioned it it's just it's an extreme form of virtuous signaling ok i mean because it's not about arguments it's not about a debate it's about your moral standing in society which by the very diffuse definition of using these terms is zero you know very hypocritical definition of moral standing in society what we're seeing is the absolute polarization of american politics between the liberals and particularly the supporters of the current president and the united states and. this absurd rhetoric of calling someone not seasoned equating trumps administration you don't have to like

him i don't like a great deal particularly domestically of what the man is doing but this completely devalues the actual losses of the six million plus jews that died in the holocaust the twenty to thirty million soviet citizens that died the death toll in serbia the death of millions as well all across eastern europe it completely devalues and deal with. let me go back to. mark a spot on it trivializes what fascism and what hitler's third reich did in the twentieth century the use of this rhetoric by the left trivializes one of the most . treacherous and dangerous and and least humane time in human history alex yeah but words have they start to lose their meaning because they're just said so often and so frivolously that there's no meaning behind it and

a lot of the people don't understand that that in the play that understand the history behind the word but they're just using it to stir up so much anger and so much hate and so much division that it's going to lead to a very very bad place i mean peter you had you had the home secretary couldn't eat at a mexican restaurant the other day neal said they were out sarah huckabee sanders at a restaurant the other day and they wouldn't serve her so i mean it's getting to the point of mass hysteria you know. i worry is that someone's going to take it a step further and we're going to see violence we already saw it with the congressman's colleagues when he was on a on a put on a baseball pitch we had someone come out and use violence and thank god he survived . but this is crew.
