become active. and engaged because the trail. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. this is a disaster for us the migrants aren't leaving because they're left alone to night. reservation salmi italian island of lampedusa a protest over the arrival of hundreds of migrants with the local saying the region can no longer cope. 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. also ahead on the program china unveils new export restrictions that could prevent talks business in the u.s. we look at how spying allegations turned into a bidding war for the popular. drugs all

donald trump's former national security advisor michael flynn loses his bid for the criminal case against them to be dropped. just a few moments into a brand new day on monday here in moscow choose the september the 1st this is r t international i mean unless you are welcome to the program residents of lampedusa staged a protest against the arrival of new migrants officials on the southern italian island state that the situation is sustainable and some locals are taking matters into their own homes by trying to stop the newcomers from disembarking. callup if we don't understand what's going on here in london do so this is a disaster for us the migrants aren't leaving because they're left alone we're all

in this together 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. say we're here for peace we just want the illegal migrants to go back because we're fed up tonight when produce assess enough while local government officials and 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 as overloaded and as you go through. this situation in lampedusa is desire serous 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 3 $167.00 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 with the total indifference of the italian government but here the problem is objective we not in a position to host more people 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. is the vessel it's funded financed by the street artist banksy it 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 smile. by the authorities and it's only 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 saying though is the situation in lampedusa is really our breaking point. the mayor of the tiny mediterranean island has said he fails abundant and the island feels abandoned by both the governments of italy and the european union will

give him his total for 2 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 a electoral campaign than a solution to the problem we have 2 factions one that shouts yes and the other that 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 and 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 who a task. with taking an interest in the phenomenon of basically left. well numbers of migrants crossing the mediterranean 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 at least being rescued from the waters of the mediterranean. just to expand on what peter was saying the latest surge in sea crossings to italy from north africa mainly 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 by saying this if you are going to enforce the action on this then i say very simply germany is a strong country the attitude with which we approach these things must be 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 who applied for asylum in the e.u. in those past 5 years italy france weeden and germany taken in the largest numbers

officially and germany has accepted more asylum seekers than any other nation in the past decade according to the un refugee agency we spoke with from the alternative for germany party he believes the inflow of migrants has been devastating for the country. everybody knows that the policy wasn't success if that diet was not to destroy the german society we are facing a very massive rise of criminality. committed by de mint grants a look at the pause that breaks it was caused from a big part because of this migration krises and because of the migrants policy of the european union so 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

other side. between the countries of the other group on one side and germany on the other side so this this problem is making european union falling apart. the other story to bring you this hour china has introduced new restrictions on tech exports in a move that could block the sale of tick tocks operations in the u.s. are to tailor looks at why companies are vying to buy and up until recently was the focus of spying allegations. law i am snooping on stealing if you believe the u.s. these are china's favorite hopis 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 now be showing he's getting touchy about its tack sutton 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 bite daunts take talks parent company because all day 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 bear that the use of tech talk by all federal employees i don't mind if there's microsoft or somebody else a big company whose security company very very american company via the chinese company has to sell off its u.s. operations because donald trump said so on because there is 100000000 users in the u.s. economy and bond into that dominance the slip sinking free wild mess and given its

basically a direct line to millions of young people right for odds research and data collection which don't worry is totally acceptable what america not the chinese communist party is doing at right place but take talks about u.s. 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 tight 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 $20.00 to $30000000.00 bill to daunce the way to ownership of the outrageously successful op i need not gas was also eyeing up a piece of this pot are you were is microsoft or somebody else or it was the chinese what what the prices the united states could should get a very large percentage of that price and we think we deserve to have a big percentage of that price coming to america coming to the treasury while chumps teaming take talk treasury may not be such a still 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 bat for me was 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 soup says 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 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 base a. force of fire sale of cutting edge attack that undercuts the value of the chinese companies but also gives chinese or u.s. companies access to technology they don't have. another chapter in a long running saga donald trump's former national security advisor michael flynn has lost an appeal for the criminal case against him to be dismissed flynn was

convicted of lying under oath during the rush a gate probe the charges were dropped on orders from the justice department but the latest ruling means that the case still has to go through the district courts federal judges ruled $8.00 to $2.00 against flynn his attorney sydney powell called the this is the sterling. split as expected a long line 7 from the tone and tenor of the judges said oral argument it is a disturbing blow to the rule of law yes to the case michael flynn was questioned by the f.b.i. as part of the mueller investigation into alleged russian meddling in the $26000.00 u.s. election he resigned after initially pleading guilty to misleading the f.b.i. but later claim prosecutorial misconduct now at that stage his new lawyer produced documents revealing that the f.b.i. had said i to entrap had no valid cause to interview him in the 1st place george

simulate a senior research fellow at the global policy institute believes that case against flynn never had any merit. the case should never have been brought in the 1st place because what's very important to remember is that flynn did not lie when flynt spoke to russian ambassador segued his sleep they discussed exclusively the issue of the expulsion of the russian diplomats from the united states and flynn suggested to the act that the russian shouldn't escalate states he did not discuss sanctions and so when the f.b.i. and then the and then molecule long as they are all flynn lied because he did this to us sanctions with the russians he didn't discuss sanctions the sanctions issue was something separate the subject of sanctions didn't come up in the congress they should give and it didn't come up in the interview with the f.b.i.

people who did indeed entrap him and there were those no other reason for this interview other than to entrap him because they had the transcript so there was absolutely nothing to talk about. silicone california is introducing diversity quotas for a company boards of directors we'll be debating about story after the short as to predict.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to. let it be an arms race in. spearing dramatic development only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and talk. hello again california lawmakers have given the green light to a bill that would force companies to have at least one board member from

a minority buckra and by the end of next year the states they use the move will help to overcome racial disparity people of color must have a seat at the table especially in a state as diverse as california. well it builds on an earlier law which stated that company boards should include at least one woman will now rise to 3 for most larger firms by the end of next year to reiterate also by the close of $22011.00 person from a minority community must have a seat at the table 3 a year after the if signed off by b. gov the law will be the 1st of its kind in the u.s. for corporations. to say we're joined live by political activist rogers right brian logan who's a blogger on political and social issues good to see you both. rogers right can we

kick off with the ins and outs of this bill the this still appear a tad ambiguous in places but could we know start to see race and gender officially becoming more important than professional law tribute. i don't believe that's the case i mean i will say 1st and foremost it is of course very sad that we needed government intervention and for more diversity on these corporate boards the bottom line is that there have always been qualified people of color unqualified women who just don't have the access to these corporations and it's just important that we do and it's also beneficial to these corporations for their bottom line when they have people on their boards who are representative of their consumers that's better for their bottom line and we've seen that as expressed in forbes magazine in bloomberg magazine as well so i don't think that this is going to lead to unqualified people being in positions of power where they shouldn't be i think it's going to lead to more diversity of qualified people who

previously had not been given access to these types of opportunities brian logan you know study after study does show that the the vast majority of chief executives in the u.s. the big high paying jobs that people are white is such a bill actually needed to perhaps kick start some more diverse representation at the top of the permit is this you know it might be perfect in places but at least it's it's a discussion. and i don't think so is affirmative action just a little bit more specific ok you got to have 3 women and then you get half the money already used it is going to have 3 month women better be the end result and if they actually go the bottom line of these companies they already do it ok you have an actual legal obligation make a company money you can actually perform well as a c.e.o. executive whatever you have to perform will so if it were it made a bottom line get more money been made would do it there would be no need for the

government to force these companies to do it they would do it because at the end of the day they're trying to make money gets the most important part you going to hire the most qualified people. that's how it goes. surely the issues of education social. would they not be more effective in a just you know putting down the law and saying this is this we need people from the gay community we need people of color here here and here unexpectedly telling corporations this is what we we're going to do whether you like it or not but those other issues are a much more important. yet no i understand we're anthony is coming from however we have seen too many times corporations going bankrupt and those c.e.o.'s still walking away with the bonuses just last week for instance we learned that exxon mobil for 5 years ago the most lucrative company in the world has now been kicked out of the dow and as

a result of that we have not seen any kind of accountability for those c.e.o.'s who got away with that or that unfortunately we're going to have you know. unfortunately that if i can finish my point that the history of the united states calls for for legislation and laws like this where there was a 13th amendment slave owners were not going to let slave owners go free because of the goodness of their hearts women suffer in the ability for women to vote was not going to happen because white men were looking into the goodness of their heart and even affirmative action as mr anthony just referenced actually benefited white women more than people of color so clearly i do believe that rather than laws changing attitudes attitudes change laws but sometimes we need those laws to kick start the attitude shift that needs to happen to make this country more equitable inclusive for all people. yeah i really don't understand how.

being in a dally moore has anything to do with a black woman being hired to be on a board i don't believe the out and makes any sense i mean at the end of the day some companies do well some companies don't do will have been going on with the virus that could if they lowball market as far as or you and a company declined as a result in a specific person because a. their identity will in have changed the global pandemic that's not how it works at the end i say from the very beginning all that matters is having the most qualified people on the board in a company to have your company get the best chance to succeed ok if fails and if they do but having the government intervene and say hey you got to hire that person that person and that person won't change it actually gets caught communism and we've seen. and failed and failed and that is not communism that is not common i didn't say and if we're going to speak to the to do people let's be honest let's let's be honest let's be honest about what those precepts are now unfortunately what anthony is doing is conflating anyone they're going to go into the street and

just pick any person of color off the street to be on a board we're talking about qualified people we know for a fact in this country we know for a fact in this country it wasn't able to be higher than 3 that people of color space specifically says me scuse me if i can finish my point african-american women latino women and indigenous women who have master's degrees or so in making less money than white men with high school diplomas so this idea that we're just going to pick unqualified people out of the street and then put them on boards makes no sense and if he really had concerns about that he would be very concerned about the fact that this unqualified president of the united states donald trump who bankruptcy after bankruptcy after bankruptcy still believes that can be the c.e.o. of the united states of america and we hear no problems from conservatives about ok so i would i would like his what if you could be consistent with your paradigms and sort of be a very. just to put that point to it but women and bluebirds says that the share of women directors in california increased swiftly since the law 'd changed in 28 dean

so maybe there is some merit to it. well i mean it's changed because they will force a change it was a it was a requirement yes they had to do it because it a low it wasn't like ok we just want to do this like i was saying from the beginning if they want to hire people they're going to hire them when. government comes in and demand that they hire them then they're going to do it because of the government regulation this is why california and new york and other places start to lose population because people don't like the regulation is overbearing taxes it's too much is too much government intervention and that a certain point where do we draw a line and say ok we have freedom we have a republic and to come in this type state where the government tells you your daily life how you get it running your business how much taxes you get is spent like 100 percent taxes no control of your business at what point do we have freedom anymore in a country. well i just. thought i'd just add to this

as well is there an issue that the straight white men are being discriminated against. in law and this is going to be a bigger issue going into this decade. great question yeah i just reject the whole notion that white men are being discriminated against this entire country was made for the benefit of white man primarily and that's just written large whether we go from democratic policies like the new deal the biggest beneficiaries of that were white men and this idea of being qualified let's name 3 of the most lucrative businesses in the history of the united states of america apple microsoft and facebook all founded by white men who didn't even finish college so this idea that white people are being men are being this i don't you know when i got a money way to. go to the little things i couldn't even if my point was that i couldn't imagine my point if i could just finish my point with if i could just

finish my point a high school diploma are still making money more money than black brown and indigenous women with master's degrees so this idea that white men are being discriminated against unfortunately is a bootlicking paradigm by the republicans and some of their black talking points like mr anthony is on right now he knows very very well that white men can walk down the street and officer and not be worried about getting shot so you know. ok that's very interesting i mean talking about. so starting in maine so motivated me just like my so ok i come from poor environment next to nothing and now i'm very successful ok because i started my own thing i thought it my own business ok we're in america everyone can do they are right there's no need to put me here or to put somebody else who does that is absolutely not true ok. i had my own business i didn't as you have and i. don't want

a government telling me who i can make and i have all my. ok we're going to have a real government or just you know something final just a minor annoyance i'm sorry we're doing all right i replied when you're not allowed to fire anyone for having a bad here i'm going to rogers right just give us your final sum up then 20 seconds from each. take off yes. i mean again i would agree with mr anthony that it's unfortunate that we need government intervention but the bottom line is we do need government intervention to combat the fact that black household wealth is $17000.00 a year and white house would welcome $177000.00 a year on average these are good responsible policies and of businesses want them to be dismantled then do the right thing and understand that diversity is not just about numbers but also about your power unfunny get on thing while you just sum up can you also answer if this is not going to be successful what do you think that things do need to change or is the status quo as it stands all right in your eyes.

the best way to go about it is the freedom in the current 3 not so much government regulation the best way to go about this is they have less regulation less rates a less bureaucracy that helps all of those grow whether you want to be an employee or stars will business say less regulation let's bring great freedom in america well it's been a spirited debate gentlemen thank you both for coming on the program and sharing your views we've been speaking to political activist anthony rogers right blogger and political and social issues brian logan thanks but. thank you that's how our global news stories are shaping up for another day newsroom just off camera busy putting together all the latest updates hope you'll join me for them of the top of the hour goodbye from.
