made in the shallows. join me every 1st week on the alex simon shore and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm sure business i'll see you then. french president among you my comments to beirut for the 2nd time in less than a month to press for political reform to the criticism france's acting again like a colonial power. president on italy's lampedusa protest the arrival of hundreds of new migrant locals saying the island can't cope anymore. and china a new set of export restrictions that could further challenge the sale of tick tocks business in the u.s. amid growing tensions between the 2 countries.

are they watching r.t. international thanks for joining us. french president emanuel micron is paying a another official visit to lebanon on his 2nd in under a month will be holding talks with officials in beirut as the capital tries to recover from the deadly port blast at the start of august for the french leaders attempts to push for reforms in love it will be met with criticism and accusations of interference. picks up the story. well this is president mark on 2nd visit to lebanon in a month will it be another photo opportunity or will he be able to achieve something concrete his visit tired already planned to celebrate 100 years since the creation of the lebanese state of course that comes under the cloud of those explosions that through this city. when he was just

a few days off the last his visit was equally critical. some saying he was still acting as if france was a protectorate of lebanon on president carter's outlined what he thinks needs to happen in the country he's talking about reform and we construction he says an interim government needs to be put in place that needs to be an audit of the country's central bank and he's called for fresh elections otherwise he is the worst of the country if we let lebanon go and if we somehow leave it in the hands of the depravity of regional power was it will be civil war as well as the defeat of what is the very identity of lebanon that lebanon has had issues politically economically and socially those exclusions back in august expose that to the rest of the with $190.00 people killed thousands injured and tens of thousands of people displaced them back on after that visit spearheaded

a video conference to raise money for the stricken states and she $150000000.00 pledged from says foreign minister has said that 8 will come only with strings attached we will not sign a blank check for a government that does not implement reforms that everyone knows are needed everyone knows what has to be dealt with the humanitarian and senator emergency for a population that is deeply wounded and a political emergency if this country to hold together the risk today is the disappearance of lebanon politics in the urban own is a political minefield this is a country that has political representation of 48 different sex. in the country so consensus between those is sometimes no easy task however at the house because just welcome from some political factions for not speaking when.

we as regards to naming the prime minister and forming the government so we will be co-operative. tribute to pulling the country out of the can vacuum always reaching a suit against a woman. who has and its allies hold a majority in the parliament in lebanon gives you a sense of how important that encouraged this particular party and these remarks suggest that it is open to dialogue what president. has been in these talks is something that essentially new with the west has done that is openly to the party politics in lebanon is a movable feast though so if it seems that france is demanding too much or if it's taking too much of the role as a previous colonial power these talks could quickly. present not go on has a very difficult path to tread it is a thin line between being seen to be in lebanon and helping the lebanese people and

that interfering in the internal politics of the country. we spoke with french attorney cruel shanley he says the front has grown the missions of paving the path for a former lover much fruit. french presidents like to show the world and its population that france is still a superpower that's why people called the. well they are very long but for people that are against france are against the western point of you'll create your states france. of course colonial superpower all kinds and wants to states work for western countries foreign countries like. let's. say no it's the france trade to head. a country that has a lot that problem as usual as they are the people of lebanon and not the government but it's the same because they go there for a day on interest and that's what the people of lebanon i'm not sure but i don't

think it's going to change a lot. even once the politics and the economy struggle. residents on the italian island of lampedusa have staged a protest against the arrival of more migrants locals there even trying to prevent newcomers from disembarking produces mess as the situations become unsustainable our correspondent in berlin peter oliver has more. well local government officials in lampedusa are saying the island can cope no more with the sheer number of people that are arriving on their shores in fact the mayor of lampedusa spoke to r.t. saying this he wants to see a strike a general strike on the island to try and draw attention to what's going on in a situation he describes is overloaded and as you go through. the situation in lampedusa is disastrous in the sense that we have a full reception center in addition to the norm because we have 1260 people and

then tonight there was a landing of 300 $67.00 more people who can no longer be taken in here they've been brought to a facility made available by the church we always carry out our job even with the total indifference of the italian go. but here the problem is objective we're not in a position to host small people well as we heard from the mayor there in the early hours of sunday morning around 370 people arrived in the port of lampedusa on board a fishing boat now they received an angry reception from locals. here we're here for peace just when the legal migrants to go back because we are tired to night long produces enough. we are not understanding anything here in one producer we are all dying here the migrants aren't leaving because they are left alone we are all together in this tonight lampedusa says enough. all on saturday around 50 people were processed by the italian coast guard those migrants

have been rescued from the mediterranean sea by the boat the luis michel that is the vessel it's funded financed by the street artist banksy skip it by the german captain. she is credited with rescuing least a 1000 people from the mediterranean sea between 20112017 but she was also charged with colluding with people smugglers by the authorities in italy in 2019 charges that she strongly denies however you look at the situation in the mediterranean though regarding migrants it doesn't look good we're seeing calls from the united nations and n.g.o.s operating in the area for the european union to do more and for membership states to share the burden of migrants that are currently arriving on the shores of lampedusa other italian islands what we are seeing though is the

situation in lampedusa is really breaking point. the mayor of the tiny mediterranean island has said he feels abandoned and the island feels abandoned by both the governments of italy and the european union. is sort of i say that nothing has been done to solve the problem of migrants because in italy we speak only and exclusively from the point of view of differing factions but this moment is more of electoral campaign than a solution to the problem we have 2 factions one that shouts yes and the other

shouts no but they never set out on paper how to solve the problem and therefore the problem both in easily and in europe is very serious we need to face up to it in a radical way or will continue to witness everything that is happening on the island i don't understand why transfers are not carried out with military ships what are these military ships for given that italy is not at war with anyone if europe has done nothing for lampedusa on the problem of migrants no one listens and there is a deafening silence from the european and italian institutions even those who a task with taking an interest in the phenomenon have basically left it alone well numbers of migrants crossing the mediterranean are continuing steadily it's a perilous crossing at the best of times as we head in to the autumn and winter months it's only going to become more and more dangerous and require more and more people to muttley being rescued from the waters of the mediterranean. the fate of the popular in the united states still uncertain china has introduced

a new set of restrictions on its technology exports from now on such tech as content recommendation speech modeling and voice recognition can only be exported if approved by local commerce authorities and it means the sale of tick tocks u.s. business something demanded by donald trump if it wants to avoid being banned could hit another stumbling block of reports. law i insert new thing on stealing if you believe the u.s. these are china's favorite hopis china is rampant their intellectual property is real that after years of targeting our industries and stealing our intellectual property you should know there is enormous risk risk to america's national security as well the theft of american jobs and wealth. has come to an end and deny the chinese communist party access to the private information that belongs to america but in a twist only 2020 could provide it's no beating he's getting touchy about its attack

sites and technologies will not be subject to export guns or restrictions meaning they have to be green that by the chinese government someone who won't be doing a 15 2nd synchronized jig to celebrate this news byte daunts take talks parent company because of a rough couple of months involving volatile and legal disputes talk about of an executive order we're looking at it we may be bending to god too bad that the use of tech talk by all federal employees i don't mind if there's microsoft or somebody else a big company has secured company very very american company by the chinese company has to sell off its u.s. operations because donald trump said so on because there's 100000000 users in the u.s. can't be a bond into the dominance of the lip synching free wild mess and given it's basically a direct line to millions of young people right for our ads research and data

collection which don't worry is totally acceptable what america not the chinese communist party staring at right facebook take talks about us tech giants chomping at the bit i mean who wouldn't want to piece of this pie. bizarre as it may seem right that is a gold mine and for some it really has washed its weight in gold type juggernauts microsoft and oracle said to be leading the race in a potential deal i don't want him to take out a room at $22.00 thoughts he $1000000.00 bill to don's no way to ownership of the

outrageously successful app i need now a gas is also a piece of this pot are you or is microsoft or somebody else or it was the chinese what what the price is the united states could should get a very large percentage of that prize and we think we deserve to have a big percentage of that price coming to america coming to the treasury while chumps teaming take top treasury may not be such a sure thing if i don't find it still roadblocks by beijing's new regulations even truman ties teenagers from new york to california straight to beth formalize their identity either way it must be sad for a naing snooping and stealing up to talk show and tell us how the knot of supes was and that willing to splash all kinds of casts to get it into bad you know there are many laws that are that have already been passed and so several more there are that are working their way through congress and certainly will be signed by the

president that are banning chinese apps and chinese tech products but i think in one sense china wants to get ahead about it's embarrassing and so you know by passing their own ban on cells. it's a way of regaining some of their national face what we're seeing now from the chinese side might prevent tech talk from selling to an american cup. like microsoft or wal-mart they see this as an attempt by the u.s. to basically force a fire sale of cutting edge attack that undercuts the value of the chinese companies but also gives chinese are u.s. companies access to technology that they don't have. now the 2020 race for the white house is heating up with the main candidates find desperately full black votes will be looking at the latest poll standings after this break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. and spearing dramatic development only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and talk.

the u.s. presidential election is looming and with both the republicans and democrats having now held their conventions the latest polls show double trouble gaining a little ground on joe biden whose lead though does still look comfortable and both candidates have lately been actively trying to woo the black community because i have a great vice president at my side senator kamel iris she knows about all the obstacles thrown in the way of so many in our country women black women black american south asian american immigrants are left out of the left behind and i have done more in 3 years for the black community then joe biden has done in 47 years.

when i'm reelected the best is yet to come. by the wind blowing vote simply picking camilla harris is running mate she's the 1st black woman on a major party's presidential ticket gave an interview to the run be some of the things that he's been saying since he missed the mark. yeah moral question via terror and if you have a problem figuring out where you're from mere trauma and you're a black unlike the african-american community with notable exceptions the latino community is incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things buttons approach to criminal justice is also alienated some of the bell amazement to want to see the police defunded his policies and see an increased police presence in some black communities human rights activists that joe mobarak a says the whole gives the impression biden doesn't really get the black vote. it

was quite clear that the. strong forces. target the black voters the believe that some sectors of the black population is in fact in play that is that they can be persuaded to support. and it may be successful because of the fact that the democrats don't appear to be all free to need to be different than the campaign events in 2060 the reason is that to support the trouble is you have a black person the bits of your life remember the working class but they also made it reason was that to use give you a vote to the democrats if you are a black person and in particular a member of the black working class so you know this notion that by and understand is black folks he has some kind of understanding of what blake people need in

particular like what class is never slept in its policy. his positions over the course of his 47 years in congress. news in brief for you now from around the world on sunday hundreds gathered outside a homeless but police station to demand justice for the final julies the 16 year old died last week after being shot in what police say was an exchange of fire between offices and gangsters local residents so claimed that he was gunned down by the police. people are calling for schools to be reopened hundreds of and teaches ma together through the city schools there was shouted response to the plan that. her car 6 and they've been celebrations in belgrade only montenegrin oppositions

victory and election. the neck and neck brace for the ruling pro western democratic party of socialists securing 34 percent of the vote of the opposition for the future of montenegro alliance having the 3 point one percent. the ecuadorian government and the international monetary fund have struck a new 6 and a half $1000000000.00 economic relief deal the lifeline has prompted fears of more painful austerity austerity measures could always been in the grip of an economic crisis for years the i.m.f. is help prop it up financially with loans to secure them. slashed funding for the public and health care sectors critics say others left the country vulnerable during the pandemic it is among the hardest hit by covert 19 in all of latin america.

i am i am. i am. i think the everyone in the entire population had this corona virus but we did not have medical help because the doctors did not come here they are only in the city and we had to go and look for them so people used home remedies. like. i am. in a can you can't imagine how bad the hospitals were didn't want to admit anyone else so instead they took my parents to go kill me but my father and my mother both died there.

in brain simple receiving that sum of money for a country in crisis sounds like good news well did they believe that detail these agreement is not a free lunch for a while or it comes with the start condition imposed by the i.m.f. which continues to promote these us through the story they are these policies are breaking how book on the country's economy as well as its health care system leading to systematic by all the shots of the economic and social rights that the other young constitution and the national love effect. across the pond think public anger over austerity so people taking to the streets students civil service. and police officers were among those who took part in antigovernment actions so your power numbers again says that they are a mess intervention needs reassessing. their you may really want to support it but

there are yes it's least the following we measures 1st it's probably ourselves the human rights impacts of the conditions attached to its loans and policies that impose a cost on that must be said bent the sectors including indigenous peoples must be absolutely. it should respect democratic processes for economic decision making agreements must be negotiated transpired. and this means refraining from exerting any influence over fiscal policy decisions in the country. in terms of maybe tough in ecuador but one couple there is celebrating because they've just been crowned the world's 'd oldest married couple after being together for nearly 18 years. but.
