a spike in migron arrivals after rome overturns former interior minister these decision to close or to rescue about. watching our 2 international coming to you when i from the russian capital where it's just turned 5 pm welcome to the program. another huge anti beijing protest in hong kong has left at least $31.00 people injured after protesters clashed with police authorities use tear gas water cannon and rubber bullets to break up the crowds. tens of thousands are taking part in the rai called national grief protesters have

built barricades paralyzing traffic they've also smashed up entrances to the metro system some have even been heard chanting to be british. now joins us live in the studio for more details now bring us up to speed on what's happening today jacqueline hi again well the hong kong police and the city authorities as we can see the war and bracing themselves for nothing by the way the even shut down the entire metro system that's how serious the threat was and we can already say for sure that the chinese city experienced its worst violence in weeks or possibly even months on tuesday it appears that the main weapon used by protesters were petrol bombs they were for all around all different kinds of different parts of the city that's why we saw so many things in flames including cars i can tell you that a number of vehicles were torched and the pictures that we were seeing they did in

fact resemble some of the worst violence during the arab spring in the middle east or some of the most difficult days for police during the yellow vest protests in france on one occasion in one of the districts the protesters even used some chemical substance a corrosive fluid or as acid as you were saying and in that particular instance several police officers and even reporters were injured now on the other hand police have confirmed that one activist was shot in the chest by a live round. that previous the because police have been. using rubber bullets on several occasions there have been situations when protesters were injured because of them but this is clearly a precedent police have already issued a statement saying that they were grat having to pull the trigger like this but the officer is saying that he felt his life and the life of his colleagues were just

being threatened in this particular case now these weekly protests have typically been confined to the weekend so why were they out in force today on a tuesday it is tuesday but it's the 1st which is a very special day for china it's one of the most important whole days on the calendar so to say china's national day but tobar 1st 2019 is even more was founded the people's republic of china and the whole country is celebrating there was a massive lavish parade that was held in beijing we saw the leaders of the communist party including. paying their he was taking part as well of course and that is probably the reason why the youth in hong kong they really wanted to get out there to make sure that their heard and seen in beijing and in

other parts of the world blood these rallies on tuesday they were being prepared in advance and that's why they were banned by the hong kong city authorities and police and i just want to show you a statement that was given out by the authorities ahead of these mass protests. dahlan x. one step closer to the actual terrorism the latest developments of the situation or extreme walvis that happened in hong kong. and to the police we continue to collect intelligence and liaise with different stakeholders including the relevant government units just sets assess the level of threat. so like i said the worries were out there and it seems that it is probably not the worst case scenario but definitely the situation is about to get out of control now over time we've seen the demands of the protesters evolve what are they fighting for at this point

well 1st of all have to say that initially the protests in hong kong erupted several months ago 4 months ago because the public mostly the younger generation were not willing to accept the changes to a controversial extradition law now under writ if it was passed china would have been able to move the suspects or charge criminals from hong kong to mainland china and that's why the population was fearing that. some kind of unlawful extradition or some unfair trials could have happened that's one protester erupted but officially these plans were either postponed or scrapped altogether but that didn't stop the protests and the whole movement evolved into something that is pro democracy in general that is anti beijing. they are the communities now seems to be worried about the future of hong kong all together and

just for you to understand what kind of movement it is right now and what the main message is just to listen to one of the leaders of the protests. it's time to let member or she aware that now is. no better on the battlefield and. on the straight and international level. and there you have it like i said they want to wage this battle on a very important day for beijing that is china's national day and it looks like it's paying off for them but clearly this will lead to more injuries more violence and arrests as well earlier perturb thank you for unraveling all that for us independent china specialist andrew long told us that what's happening in hong kong is being stirred up by outside actors. and the whole the beginning sides of this

food. but without resorting to. all the. creativity the little square little gold because that is all the sober all the tractors of china all some all the forces behind this is the this want the wall of china the order that the 11th square situation both all so this will pass china with this. and based on its laws and hopefully the situation would. give poles that this 'd side. of the people of it is that of everything that ready ready they ready want to stay at home they do the. budget and then all the rest falls that will be a lot of selfless so this explosion developed in the low. u.s. democratic presidential candidate joe biden's campaign team has demanded that major

t.v. networks banned donald trump personal lawyer from appearing on their shows alleges that rudy giuliani is spreading damaging falsehoods about biden on behalf of the u.s. president. has more. former new york city mayor rudy giuliani is making his rounds on america's t.v. networks now rightly or wrongly donald trump is under a lot of heat facing an impeachment inquiry and rudy giuliani intends as the president's lawyer to tell the other side of the story but the president's talking about is however there is a. lot of evidence that the ukrainians created false information people were ignoring that that biden played a role in getting these collusion allegations covered up i didn't ask him to look into joe bugner yes knew of the allegation of the related my client which tangentially involved joe biden in a massive bribery not only why what he did in china one of the points that rudy

giuliani has been making is that there seems to be evidence of potential corruption from joe biden and his son in both ukraine and china now the biden campaign seems to believe this talking point is off limits in an unprecedented move we've actually got the joe biden campaign asking t.v. networks not to interview rudy giuliani saying that what he says in these interviews is somehow out of bounds we right suited him on the 1000 service to the facts you no longer book rudy giuliani a surrogate for donald trump who has demonstrated that he will knowingly and willingly lie in order to advance his own narrative it's now an open question will t.v. networks in the united states that claim to be fair balanced in showing both sides of the issue actively boycott one side the president of the united states aside to be precise let's not forget that the debunked conspiracy theory that somehow russia and trump colluded in order to win the white house was in the headlines all over the us media and at this point rudy giuliani says they are conspiring to silence

him why because they're afraid of the facts and the reason they want me to be silenced is not because i'm funny and it's because i've got. facts and because he's guilty and these folks are repeat offenders why. of the co-authors of the letter is a need to done now she was a former white house communications director under obama and it's reported that as white house communications director she declared war on fox news the white house had no dealings with a major t.v. network now some saw that as an affront to the 1st amendment let's be realistic here howie you know they are they are widely viewed as you know part of the republican party take their talking points put them on the air take their opposition research put money are not find is this move against rudy giuliani the 1st step in pushing pro trump voices off of mainstream american t.v. networks or is it just a presidential race where all means are good let's talk to new yorkers we're not

idiots we all know what channels feel a certain way which shows officer. that's what they do all the time they try to shut out the other side i don't think it's fair i think that giuliani should be able to speak and biden should be able to refute any any churches as rudy giuliani i think he's earned the right to be a t.v. in fact he was the mayor in new york city through a very traumatic situation 911 i think in everybody has the right to be interviewed . that's when you knew. the more christie even here in the democratic party stronghold of new york city seems like very few americans are sold on the idea that t.v. networks should be boycotting the president's lawyer kaleb up in r.t. new york. a sort attack at a school in finland has left one person dead and 10 injured. violence in the money shopping center police have detained one person the scene

the attack took place at a vocational college located in a busy shopping center in the east of the country witnesses claim a man pulled a sword from a bag and began stabbing students police say the attacker was also carrying a gun and reports claim the perpetrator was a student at the school. more than 200 migrants have reportedly landed on a tiny insurers over the weekend as the country embraces a post salvini era recently lifted the former interior minister as controversial ban on rescue boats reaching italian ports are to charlotte to pick up a story. under the cover of darkness fresh arrivals set foot on the tully soil these migrants were picked up off to being spotted by the coast guard in the mediterranean over the space of a few hours 5 of the boats to look people also landed on lampedusa the island for

years has been the frontline of italy's migration crisis. for my interior minister mr hugh selby may not be everyone's cup of tea but his hardline anti immigration policies did seem to resonate with italians his most famous perhaps and most popular move was to close italy's ports to charity rescue ships before so be nice parties believe came to power as part of the coalition italy had been described as collapsing under the weight for my quince in 2017

almost 120000 are right by sea routes in 2018 the us how we need close the ports that dropped to a little over 23000 many had hoped that the end was in sight now that seems to be fading but in the shape i think there has already been a new immigration paper this is the. the beginning of immigration from produce. since i'm very worried to be i'm especially worried but all the small bolts that allow me i would not want the station as it was in 2011. but this i hope that sally my feet turn to the government so that he might be established let's say an equilibrium in the island and stop this trafficking now italy has a new government one that is more pro e.u. and us distanced itself from the politics of selfie me it's using much softer language over the issue of migration and it's where you open the ports for some

this is the start of a slippery slope we probably have and you serve you. want to leave and we are not. going to lock you. up for. it's a full week before. migration. in the 1st few weeks of september official figures show that around 1700 my quince landed in italy via sea that's double what it was in the same period last year now while 4 e.u. countries have agreed a relocation plan for migrants that are rife in italy this is only a temporary emergency mechanism itself has to be presented to of the e.u. members later this month and it will remain voluntary that's raising some eyebrows

in the lampedusa there is also skepticism over the offer of help from the e.u. well you and i say they do nothing at all everyone thinks about themselves you would if you thought it would like to trust. because everyone has their own interests in europe germany looks after its own interest from. cradle yes. i believe you reap looks more to tell me interests than to those of a single country that has often left alone too many times. even if even members agree on a way forward to deal with migration it still doesn't resolve the issues it continues to face as a result of migration that's already taken place 6 countries have already reimposed to run them border checks to stop migrants moving and stop and search operations being ramped up of the german border and if the levels of immigration rise once more many italians fear that they will be again left struggling alone with the

burden. for all t. . meanwhile the greek government has also announced new deportation measures athens is aiming to kick out as many as $10000.00 migrants by the end of next year thousands more are also to be relocated from overcrowded camps to other parts of the country the move comes after another spate of incidents on the island of lesbos which houses one of greece's most overcrowded migrant camps on sunday a group of migrants started a fire there killing at least one person in said also field mass riots and violent clashes with the police. polo or a phone this is a political analyst and founder of the brothel based think tank the c.i. p.r. foundation and he joins us live now for more on this now what do you think are we going to see a new wave of migrants reaching europe or last weekend's numbers a sign for concern. well the number of migrants is probably now going into the news

because of the comparison with last year but in fact the flow well migrants arriving in the from parts of easily and other. places like in greece has been almost constant and completely uncontrolled so the migrants are not only the ones that are rescued and. therefore then the managed by the course the cards or by the n.g.o.s there are a lot of them the majority of them coming on their own those mold boats and landing on european shores the problem is that the europe still doesn't have any drive so these no policy place this agreement of the that has been signed is. as it has been said the 1st step but these very very 1st step and we will see what happens in the council in the in october if it will be passed or not whether purely already there are a number of member states will signal will not sign it so the situation is back to

square one basically. and says that he's no polish he nor politics to handle the migration flows this creates. a lot of anger in the people and the preoccupations the perception of the phenomenon is sometimes exaggerated but this drives them to reactions which can be quite extreme and we have seen it with the measures taken bait in the last year but it may return because people want to find a solution which is a political solution for the flow and the management of this flow and this is not in place yet. you talk about the lack of policy is greece is aiming to implement tough new measures including the deportation of some $10000.00 migrants and elsewhere in europe we're seeing

a reinforcement of border controls how effective will those policies. well nation states can still do these kind of things because europe doesn't have a competence in the handling of the immigration flows so european union can just oppose what they call the values of the european union of the chart basically the human rights and what is connected to it but this is something which goes into the moral and the moral rooms more than the strictly legal ones so there is a divide in your between the see below which should be handling this kind of cases the religious rules and the more rooms these 3 axes a con to good or to to become a polish and therefore a political move organized by the european union and the member states the this is

still very far from happening basically europe remains with other drives with or without in a. on how to handle this kind of events now italy is infamous anti migrant minister has been ousted and the government is rolling back some of solving its policies they think they're going to regret that in the future. this government is trying to play politically correct according to the moral root moral and religious rules but does not take into account. the unemotionally that still exists among the population people are tired of not seeing solutions which are sustainable in the long term and full scale management of the flows so you know to receive these people or shelter them is a nice gesture and it is maybe even appropriate gesture to be done from

a humanitarian point of view but it s. to be measured with political release them and the consequences that these actions can can provoke because it's easy to go on the moral and religious feelings and rules but then you have to govern a country with the sentiments of people and and if these sentiments go against well these kind of things is impossible so do you take and political analyst power phone thank you for your time and your comments. it's been revealed that twitter the middle east editor is also an officer in the british army psychological warfare unit r.t. if alley reports. they have for years been questions as to who shapes the editorial policies of twitter well when it comes to the social media giants operations in the middle east it turns out the british army has quite the hound it middle east has discovered that twitter's head of editorial specializing on the middle eastern

region also moonlights for the u.k. army former journalist gordon mcmillan has openly shared this information on his linked in page and the 77th progress mcmillan serves in is no ordinary unit created back in 2015 it conducts non-lethal warfare with a proud slogan influence an outreach these warriors fight their battles on the front lines of social media seeking to change and influence behavior our aim is to challenge the difficulties of modern warfare use alone lethal engagement and legitimate nonmilitary lever's as a means to adapt behaviors of the opposing forces and adversaries it's no wonder the middle east has become a priority for the british army with its forces having played quite a role destabilizing the region in the past decade.

or so brigade 77 it's certainly got plenty to get its teeth into general nick carter the head of the u.k. army was full of high hopes for his social soldiers in a speech he delivered last year 77 pre-k. the show should come back to we've got some remarkable talent when it comes to social media production design and indeed arabic poetry and at least one of them seems to have lived up to the potential since gordon mcmillan joined twitter in 2013 the social media. giantess suspended iranian press agencies and banned thousands of middle eastern accounts although mcmillan was proven to be working on 2 different fronts simultaneously doesn't seem all that bothered we actively encourage all our employees to pursue external interests in line with our commitment to healthy corporate social responsibility and we will continue to do so

so while twitter wants to maintain how independent and unbiased it is its policy of encouraging stuff to pursue outside interests coming back to haunt it being the u.k. government propaganda operation which has attempted to create processes to draw journalists and academics in order to essentially promote particular agendas in relation to clearly international affairs and this kind of manipulation you mention environment is profoundly unfair. and ultimately found to be dangerous if you allow governments to start to shape what people think and understand about what's going on in the world in a way that is going on through the gate $77.00 and. you carry it then the ability to call it to maintain any time to check or balance or control is

severely limited we asked the british army spokesperson for comment and he told r.t. there was no relationship between the 77th grade and twitter other than using it as a social media platform that's a wrap up of the day's top news for now thanks for tuning in. the world is driven by shaped about one percent of those great. no dairy thinks. we dare to ask.

rob them to follow on that comes out of. the set of one among them. a fondness for the main tea made to hide not the high i my set. of the month when the sun shone. from a photo of a muslim in a lock of the. then that it is someone that would do the board.

sal you take should this if punxsutawney phil and i had taught us anything it's that predicting the future can be a few tile and deborah hawk watchers but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try and the best way to know your future is to study your past and its wall street's past sins that now has many very concerned about our economic future you see back in mid september the new york federal reserve started handing out emergency overnight loans to the big banks starting off at a rate of $75000000000.00 a day as well as handing out 3 different $30000000000.14 day term loans to the banks as well well apparently these numbers they just weren't big enough to cover the bank short term loan needs and according to wall street on parade after the demand for the 1st work 14 day loan was more than double the 30000000000 that they

had at the new york observer the new york bad boosted the next term loans to 60000000000 and increased its overnight loans to 100000000000 wow and just who is getting these loans is being kept under wraps but we do know that the new york federal reserve can only give out these repo transactions as they're called in wall street speak to just 24 banks and they're the usual rogue's gallery including j.p. morgan chase bank of america as well as foreign banks like deutsche bank and credit suisse now i know what you're thinking like why am i hacked to these massive banks like j.p. morgan chase who holds more than 1.6 trillion in deposits need billions in short term loans if they are sitting on trillions well that my friends is a very good question and just who could see can demand.
