against him to be dropped. broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is r t international i'm sean thomas in the glad. right now residents of lampedusa have 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 hands by trying to stop newcomers from disembarking. they cannot but 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.

here 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. 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 with the total indifference of the italian government but here the problem is objective we not in

a position to host small people all on saturday around 50 people were processed by the italian coast guard those migrants had been rescued from the mediterranean sea by the boat the luis michel. is the vessel it's funded financed by the street artist banksy skip it by the german captain. she is credited with rescuing at least a 1000 people from the mediterranean sea between 20112017 but she was also charged with colluding with people smoke. 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 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 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 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 time . with taking an interest in the phenomenon of basically left alone well 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 the latest

a surge in sea crossings that to italy from north africa comes 5 years after a landmark speech by german chancellor angela merkel almost exactly to the day back in 2015 she responded to the concerns over the influx of migrants by saying this if you are going to enforce this and 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 have applied for asylum in the e.u. in the past 5 years italy france sweden and germany have taken in the largest numbers officially and germany has accepted more asylum seekers than any other nation in the past decade this according to the un refugee agency we spoke with petter by string 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 the target was not to destroy the german society we are facing a very massive rise of criminality. committed by de mille grants a look at the both the brakes it was cost from a big part because of this migration prizes and because of the migrants 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 other side. between the countries of the sugar out group on one side and germany on the other side said this this problem is making european union falling apart.

china has introduced a new restrictions on tech exports in a move that could block the sale of tic-tacs operations in the us r t saskia taylor looks at why companies are vying to buy an app that until recently was the focus of spying allegations. law eyeing snooping and stealing if you believe the u.s. these are china's favorite hobbies 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 bans over strict since

meaning they have to be green that by the chinese government someone who would be doing a 15 2nd synchronized jig to celebrate this news byte daunce take talks parent company because of a rough couple of months involving volatile in legal disputes talk about of an executive order we're looking at a certain we may be betting 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's 100000000 users new u.s. can't be bought and into that dominance of the lip sinking 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 is doing at right facebook 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 below to daunce the way to ownership of the outrageously successful op i need not gas he 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 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 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 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 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. force of fire sale of cutting edge tech that undercuts the value of the chinese companies but also gives chinese are u.s. companies access to technology that 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 russia 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 to 2 against

flint his attorney sidney powell called the decision to stripping 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 while some background to the case michael flynn was questioned by the f.b.i. as part of the investigation into alleged russian meddling in the 2016 u.s. election he resigned after initially pleading guilty to misleading the f.b.i. but later claimed prosecutorial misconduct at the stage in his new lawyer produced documents alleging that the f.b.i. had set out to entrap flynn and had no valid cause to interview him in the 1st place legal analyst and u.s. national security commentator jennifer de master believes the case against flynn should not have been brought in the 1st place. not only the exculpatory documents that sidney powell did provide that show that this case should never have been

brought not just that but the entire reason that the judge is holding this case out is because glenn pled guilty to a document that he has never seen so we have to think about that a document he has never seen that the public has never seen that the court has never seen that his original interview what they called the original 3 which sidney powell has been asking for so in most legal cases there's a process of discovery need to see all of these documents stuck just an edited version they have never even produced that original interview and i think their plan is to pass about november but it's certainly important hopefully they're going to be ways or methods where they can go that doing this to make this go through faster this is an absolute travesty of justice. this is our international still to come in the program the people of ecuador rise up and protest over the country's economic collapse as it agrees it to a huge relief package that's very much more after a break this is our chief national.
