you. didn't he says the spike in migrants arrivals of to rome overturns former interior minister. decision to close the rescue boats. international thanks for joining us. another huge anti beijing protest in hong kong has left at least 66 people injured after protesters clashed with the police well 180 people were arrested the authorities used tear gas water cannons and rubber bullets to break up the crowds.

tens of thousands to paul to the valley called national grief the protesters bill barricades that cools traffic chaos they smash the pension system the metro system some chanted proud to be british of the latest vegas but. this has been the worst violence the city has seen in weeks if not months and the preparations were well advanced the authorities even shut down the entire metro system in the chinese rule city it appears that the weapon that was used most by the protesters were molotov cocktails or fire bombs they were being thrown around different parts of the city and that's why we saw so many things in flames including vehicles and motorcycles in fact the police have confirmed that number of cars were torched all around the city one location the protesters even used corrosive fluid injuring police officers and

a number of reporters now on the other hand the authorities have confirmed that a police officer shot a protester in the chest with a live round in it was caught on camera. we know that previously just because rubber bullets have been widely used there have been from that but this is definitely a precedent police though are saying that they were grad having to pull the trigger although they're saying they were obliged to do so by. the logic of of riotous attack police offices despite a warning from the police they say let's continue to have violent attacks. the police officers lives were on the serious threat to save his own life and the lives of his colleagues he fired a live shot at this sale and the police force really didn't want to see anyone been injured it is really hard broken. now these protests have typically been confined

to the weekend so it was the exception today this is a very special day for china it is a tobar the 1st china's national day so to say but tobar the 1st $21.00 thing is even more special because it is the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of china and there are massive celebrations a lavish parade in beijing with all the communist party leaders there including the chairman paying this is why the protesters felt they were obliged mostly young people in hong kong to make sure that their message is heard to make sure that they are seen in beijing and all around the world and they had been preparing well in advance police still banned any kind of such rallies ahead of that and this is a statement that was issued by the authorities before these protests began dahlan acts are one step closer to the actual terrorism the latest development of the

situation or extreme volumes that happened in hong kong. and to the police we continue to collect intelligence and liaise with different stakeholders including the relevant government units to sets assess the level of threat like i said the worries were out there and now the scenes that we were seeing on tuesday they do resemble some of the worst violence during the arab spring protests or the worst days of the yellow vests protests it has really as collated very much now the demands of the protesters have evolved over the months what is the motivation at this point we do have to remember that initially when the protests began several months ago and in fact something for my. so you go the youth in hong kong they were mostly unhappy with the possible changes the proposed changes to the controversial extradition wall these changes would have allowed. to move suspects

or people that were fully criminally charged to mainland china and the fear among the youth was some unfair trials things like that however these plans were later officially suspended or fully scrapped that was the announcement although the protests didn't stop and this movement really turned into something pro-democracy anti beijing in some cases even separatist that's why as i was saying again it was very important for them to come out and put their message across on china's national day and just for you to get an idea of what the protest is like right now what their ideas are just listen to one of the protest leaders joshua want. it's time to let member or she aware that now is our battle no matter on the battlefield and. on the straight and international level so let's have a look at where this goes because clearly there will be more entries and arrests in

the streets of hong kong. meanwhile police raided various locations on monday and tuesday over suspicions father bombs and explosives were being made in makeshift factories a large amount of weaponry armor materials to make most of cocktails were reportedly $51.00 rests were made at the time from a police officer peter cook says rises are leaving the police with no option but to use lethal force. the law in hong kong has got lots of similarities with the law in the u.k. which means that you would only use potentially lethal force if you honestly believed that someone's life was in danger of the protests steadily become more and more violent. attack in profit so you setting fire to things the police are going to hold the line as best they can and unfortunately that means whatever force is used against them if appeals for people to stop and disperse. then i'm afraid the only option for any police service anywhere in the world is to meet

force with force if that's the nature of the protest this isn't just people carrying placards around this is people attacking police lines attacking and destroying property and no police service anywhere in the world about to happen and it's just a question of what tactics you use to do the. u.s. democratic presidential candidate joe biden's campaign team has demanded that major t.v. networks ban on personal lawyer from appearing on the shows allegation is that really giuliani spreading damaging false about biden and they say it's on behalf of the u.s. president it will protect a closer look 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 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. motive 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 unlike 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 want you to demand 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. the facts and because she's guilty and these folks are repeat offenders one 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 to giuliani should be able to speak and biden should be able to refute any any charges rudy giuliani i think he's earned the right to be at c.v. in fact he was the mayor of new york city through a very traumatic situation 911 i thin everybody has the right to be there if you. press when you new. democracy 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. r.t. new york. will move against giuliani follows the democrats launching an impeachment inquiry against donald trump over claims that he offered ukraine military aid if it investigated biden for corruption trumbull the g.'s biden tried to quash ukrainian probe into a gas company is some fool so far 224 democrats out of 235 along with one independent member of voted in favor of an inquiry but less than 30 of them of publicly stated they want the u.s. president impeached 143 republicans are among those against the probe with some branding the process division politics. as democrats push for the impeachment inquiry the u.s. department of justice is running an inquiry of its own looking into the origins of

the move the probe into russian collusion and it not being sure to twist the york times reported that trump pressed the australian prime minister during a phone conversation to help dig up information on the probe but the spokesman for prime minister scott morrison has played down that plane merely saying that the subject was discussed and australia was always willing to help in the investigation . so that more conservative political commentator and journalist joins be on the line now welcome chadwick we just mentioned to that new york times claiming president discussion with prime minister scott morrison showed the president using high level diplomacy to advance person's personal political interests do you think there's anything to that story no i think it's complete nothing i mean 1st of all even had he even if this report is true it's nothing untoward it's nothing illegal the times can use the word pressed all they want to make it sound

more frightening to make it sound there's something nefarious going on president trump gave a press conference. to a journalist and said as much that he would be speaking to officials in the u.k. in the ukraine and it also really had to figure out what was going on with this whole fake russian investigation and the democrats brought this on themselves you know the sort of deep state actors that were or were some of the strongest critics and brought about this whole phony investigation they are the ones who said that this came from australia so why wouldn't the president look into that if it could have been meddling it could have been any number of things. now that the transcript of the call between morris and interim parent was restricted to a small number of the president's aides say mr actions placed on the cool with the ukrainian president do you think there's anything suspicious about that. it doesn't seem so at all and it doesn't seem like in either of those situations

that the investigation russia gate was the point of the phone call in the transcripts with with the ukraine with president alinsky there was nothing in there that even suggested that there was some sort of coercion going on you know the democrats are doing this the democrats are doing this to get the attention off of joe biden where there's very very strong evidence that he was using his office illegally to help his son and his dealings in ukraine as soon as this happened the democrats come out with impeachment they try to turn this around on the president and they can get away with it because the media is basically like a dog with the stick and wherever the democrats throw the stick the media will go and now it's just get the attention off biting and skip trying to get this russia investigation going i mean it's dead there's nothing there there's absolutely nothing there but the media will keep fighting as long as the democrats want them to so let's say the pietschmann process goes ahead what do you think the democrats are hoping to achieve because the republicans control the senate so surely there's really no chance of success in the long run. roy it only seems like they'd be

shooting themselves in the foot you know it's we're coming up on an election year and if we saw anything in the $2800.00 midterms the democrats maxed out their voters right to vote democrat voters were out in full force and 28 team republicans basically stayed home and what happened well they had modest gains in the house of representatives nothing historical there was no blue wave it was you know for an opposition party in a midterm year it was actually a pretty low victory usually the opposition party comes out much more ahead so what do they think's going to happen in 2020 if they try to impeach this president perhaps the most popular repressive republican president in history with the republican party republican voters are going to be out in full force just like they were in 2016 and the democrats can't beat that so you know if they're only doing this to protect their guy biden in the short term that seems to be what's going on because this is a phony impeachment proceeding they would be rigid they would be shooting

themselves in the foot if they continue to have with it became president despite all kinds of mud being flung at him during the campaigning process is there a good chance that he actually could have been to mold and seems to have this kind of teflon quality to it. yeah absolutely does they call him nothing seems to stick to him with the democrats you have an entire party that's only united on one issue all of the 10 candidates for president for their nomination are all united on one issue and that is to take down trump at any cost and yet none of them can manage to land a single blow on the president you see that in the debates and there's such an enthusiasm gap between donald trump and the democrats there's no one on the democrat on the democrat side who stands out was really who any of them who are the voters are really energized excited about and you sort of get the impression looking at them that none of them are seriously running for president it's almost like they know that president trump is a shoe in and they're just doing this in order to find out their next career move

cedric good to speak to appreciate you coming on my guest chadwick more journalists conservative political commentators thank you ok and thanks for staying with this news after this short break.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond short and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. welcome back more than 200 migrants have reportedly landed on the telly ensures over the weekend as the country embraces a post salvini era rome recently lifted the former interior minister's controversial ban on rescue boats reaching entirely in ports on the shell of

dubious he picks up the story. under the cup of darkness fresh arrivals set foot on the tully soil these migrants were picked up off the being spotted by the coast guard in the mediterranean over the space of a few hours by the boats full of people also landed on lampedusa the island for years has been at the front line of italy's migration courses. the. former interior minister meant to yourself he 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 he came to power as part of the coalition it to me had been described as collapsing under the weight for my quince in 2017 almost 120000 or right by a series in 2018 the yourself we need close the ports that dropped to a little over 23000 many had hoped that the end forcing sites now that seems to be fading and i think there has already been a new immigration pick this is the new beginning of immigration from producer. i'm very worried to boost i'm especially worried but all the small bolts that alarmed the i would not want the situation as it was in 2011. i hope that's

held me my feet turned to the government so that he might feel less. say an equilibrium in the island and stop this trafficking now italy has a new government one that is more pro e.u. and has distanced itself from the politics of selvi 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. and we are not able to play show and it's going to lock you up with. a full week before. migration. in the 1st few weeks of september official figures show that around $1700.00 migrants landed in italy via sea that's double what it

was in the same period last year now while for a new countries have agreed a relocation plan for migrants that are right 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 what if you got it i would like to trusts birdseye do not because everyone has their own interests in europe germany looks after its own interest from. creating. i believe you rip 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 italy

continues to face as a result of migration. it's already taken place 6 countries have already reimposed random border checks to stop migrants moving and stop and search operations are being ramped up on the german border and if the levels of immigration rise once more many italians fear that they will be once again left struggling alone with the burden charlotte people ski for r t. v one of the greek government has announced new deportation measures arsons 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 course which houses one of greece's most overcrowded migrant camps on sunday a group of migrants started a fire there killing one person incident also fuelled mass riots and violent

clashes with the police strategic political analyst pilar a phony believes the e.u. lacks a long term strategy for dealing with the issue. europe doesn't have a competence in handling rishon flows so european union can just stop those what they call the values of the european union of the chart basically the human rights and all what is connected to it but this is something which goes into the moral and the moral rules more than the strictly legal ones so there is a divide in europe between the civil law which should be handling these kind of cases the religious rules and the moral rules these 3 axes have to come to good or to to become a policy 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 drive with the dog in a. on how to handle this kind of events. ukraine has signed up to an international peace plan paving the way for local elections in the contested areas of the country's east this follows long running talks involving russia run the organization for security and cooperation in europe the new plan is known as the steinmeyer formula after the president of germany who proposed it back in 2016 it grants special status to the so-called people's republic of donetsk and lugansk however ukraine's president bloodied his olinsky has stressed that local elections can only go ahead if peace is maintained little contact have been addressed gave us his views on the deal. i think it has ukraine has been to a certain extent of blige to show that he's fully in its policies since not only because the election here in ukraine where i mean it shows the government that the

government did change because they're doing situation not ukraine it is capacity if you call it political ground and also even on diplomatic grounds it would be difficult to sort of very quickly a lot of armed people and armed groups. if they had to benefit from war and they don't really are interested in peace so. it will anyway take time to make those armed more peaceful oriented that's a big challenge for the ocular kiev government. ok i've appreciated your company this amy thanks for joining us all from a finale that hawkins is waiting in the wings join him and often no.

one else still seems wrong. but all roles just don't have all. the world to see her out this day. and in detroit because the trail. went on to find themselves worlds apart wait just a little common ground. danny and by north it's so many people because a cop beat him is so good that even such a bad cop be sending. i'm not fields of dog anybody. on the field to find the next guy. who looked up live on canyoning approving done deal fell to feed the dog she went

down county and. the deflection moved toward the c.e.o. thing is a deflection what is comfortable saying. that is a god given that i got off the miniature. that he and others are going to going to hear a lot about that on the horn a lot where. you can buy a gun you probably get nothing like a. long long while the next you know is along the bottom there's a playlist which i won't control glottal. handle a new person and lead to any move 100 gandhi a new normal gun to run the place 1st being needed to go to you then go to mock you then they will join you. the world is driven
