that before too 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 an electoral campaign than a solution to the problem we have 2 factions one that shouts yes and the other shouts no but they never sounds 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 but 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 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. with taking an interest in the phenomenon of basically left of the. numbers of migrants crossing the mediterranean is 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 this latest surge of sea crossings to italy comes 5 years after a landmark speech by german chancellor angela merkel on this exact date in 2015 she responded to concerns over the influx of migrants to europe with a message of optimism issues are going to enforce this and i say very simply germany is a strong country attitude with which we approach these things must we have achieved so much we can do it we can do it and when something stands in our way it has to be overcome it has to be worked on. according to official data almost 5000000 people have applied for asylum in the e.u. in the past 5 years italy france sweden and germany have taken in the largest
11:07 am
numbers germany has accepted more asylum seekers than any other country in the past decade that's according to the un refugee agency we spoke with peter bias thrown from the alternative for germany party he believes the inflow of migrants has been devastating for in germany. everybody knows that the policy wasn't success if the target was not to destroy the german society we are facing a very massive rise of criminality. committed by didn't ignorance look at the balls the breaks it was caused from big because of this migration prizes and because of the migrants quality seal the european union saw and breaks it is the beginning of the end of the you so does this was a big big problem and you see also the pensions now between countries in the european union between entirely on one side and germany on the

11:09 am
acting as if france was a protectorate of lebanon on the president who he thinks needs to happen in the country and he's talked 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 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 now lebanon on loan that has had issues politically economically and socially those exclusions back in august exposed to the rest of the the 190 people killed thousands injured and tens of thousands of people displaced after that visit spearheaded

a video conference to raise money for the stricken states and she 150000000 euros being pledged but front says foreign minister has said that the 8 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 the political emergency on this country to hold together the risks today is the disappearance of lebanon politics in. no one is a political minefield this is a country that has political representation for the 18 different sex that live in the country so consensus between those is sometimes no easy task however there has been a cautious welcome from some political factions for much. the national. we are god willing with regards to naming the prime minister forming the government so
11:11 am
we will be co-operative contributed to pulling the country out of the power vacuum we have always rejected and always warned against. hezbollah and its allies hold a majority in the parliament in lebanon also gives you a sense of how important that encouraged this particular party and these remarks suggest that it is open to dialogue what president michel is doing by clearing has been in these talks is something that essentially new with a western leader has done that is open 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 who says french calls for reform in lebanon are unlikely to be successful . french president like to show the world its population that france is still a superpower that's why people call people. belong but for people that are against france or against the western point of view. criticize france as. of course colonial superpower all comes. and wants to say he worked for western countries foreign countries like great britain let's say you got there so you know it's a france trying to help. a country that has a lot of problems as usual as they are who saved the people of lebanon and not the government luckily for them it's the same because they go there for they all interest not for the people of lebanon i'm not sure but i don't think it's going to change a lot of live in and the politics and the economy called struggle. china

11:17 am
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 of that 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 company 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 our u.s. companies access to technology that they don't have. still had the 2020 race to the white house is heating up with the main candidates vying desperately for black votes details on that story and more after this break.

11:20 am
47 years. when i'm reelected the best is yet to come. by and the efforts to win black votes include picking column one harris as his running mate she's the 1st black woman on a major party's presidential ticket biden also gave an interview to rapper cardin b. however some of the things he's been saying have decidedly missed the mark you've got a moral question if you have a problem figuring out where you are for me or trump and you a black unlike the african american community with notable exceptions the latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different settings bines approach to criminal justice has also alienated some in the black lives matter movement who want to see the police to funded his policies would see an increased police presence in some black communities even human rights activists says this all gives the impression that bind doesn't really

particular the black working class has never flooded in his policies. and his positions over the course of his 47 years in congress. italy's tourism industry is reeling from the blow it's been dealt by the pen demick with business down 70 percent research suggests some 50000 companies are at risk of shutting up shop while those that are staying open are struggling to recruit staff . we have big problems finding not only qualified but also unqualified personnel when we interview people for a place at a restaurant we find those who compare the offer with 3900 citizens income despite us proposing a permanent or fixed term contract nobody in our sector wants to exploit workers but when we offer a contract from 802-1200 euro they tell us they prefer to stay at home and
11:23 am
the government with these subsidies is creating a system of people who sits on the couch and do nothing all day people who don't want to work because they get the same money if you have 2 children and the low income the state gives you almost 1200 euros a month why should you work taking the same money in this welfare system is frightening i have employees in my shop who tell me why don't you fire me so i work illegally and get 2 years of benefits there are people who now come to have luxury dinners and pay for them with the subsidy card i can tell you that we are really mad it has become a credit card donated by the state and loaded every month that oil unfortunately there are ways to get resources from somewhere else some people decide not to work and do something else and now hotel sector went into crisis to find people who want to work and i'm talking not only about professionals but also about those who just
11:24 am
start working i believe citizens income must be completely reviewed it shouldn't be about passive support but rather about making people work this summer many hotels have opened without customers keeping system workers and therefore lose a lot of money. italy's unemployment rate is now at 9 percent one of the highest in the european union as with no or little earnings can claim the so-called citizens income of up to 780 year us a month to qualify you have to be an e.u. citizen or have lived in the country for 10 years we've got. action to the scheme from locals. but i mean the lack of stuff for hotels restaurants is becoming quite critical decisions income is creating many problems many people prefer to take the money stayed home and don't work many people also take the money while not actually needing it. it's clear that if restaurants or other companies believe that they can exploited workers then i disagree because it's clear that if
11:25 am
a person has to grow up for 12 hours and $600.00 euros a month he would probably stay at home and receive the citizens income. a loss we must start from the assumption that the citizens income has been badly managed in italy in germany they certainly manage the better. because these people are comfortable staying at home and earning this free salary while there are people who just want to work i believe the problem was created by our government and people obviously take advantage of it. the ecuadorian government and the international monetary fund have struck a new $6500000000.00 economic relief deal however the lifeline has prompted fears of more painful austerity measures ecuador has been in the grip of an economic crisis for years and the i.m.f. has helped prop it up financially with loans to secure them kyoto has had to slash funding for the public and health care sectors that critics say has left the country vulnerable during the pandemic it is among the hardest hit by cope at 19 in
