the former italian interior minister materia salvini will face trial on charges of illegally detaining migrants at sea this is after the senate voted by a majority to revoke his ministerial immunity for his time in office it all relates back to an incident that took place in july of last year this was when the italian coast guard ship the get ettie picked up around 140 migrants who were crossing the mediterranean from libya to italy some of those on board required immediate medical attention and they were taken off that left 116 passengers 60 migrants on board who were left their foot days as material salvini demanded that other nations chip in and take them what prosecutors are saying is that in doing this. you know laterally that he repeatedly and willfully ignored requests from the prime minister of italy giuseppe conti to allow the ship to dock at an italian port now mr v.v. has long pro-trade him self as a campaigner against migrants coming to italy putting himself up as one of the big defenders of the italian borders and saying that. the e.u. nations must do more to help italy wh

but to salvini was its news interior minister at the time of that incident and of course a major outcry among rights groups he was pushing for the closure of the country's ports to my point rescue boats claiming that all of the e.u. countries need to take that fashion commas to prosecutors allege that he acted alone in refusing to let the passengers disembark and sicily and didn't actually have the consent of his coalition partners for his part though salvini says he was sticking to campaign promises now of course will remember that it was among the country's most impacted by the micro crisis at the time. i think it is a said for our democracy i mean so many it was a minister who was a minister of the italian republican and the hollande try to defend our national interest only try to defend our borders and this is a political. party the democratic and the 5 star movement so now in italy we have how you know maybe the leftist government in there are a republican a story and this government try to attack in a political way so really because every time that the. center. right to go to her

today decision that is going to be taken today by the senate doesn't mean that salvini will actually go to trial it means that the senate allowed saluting to go to trial then the authorization by the senate will go to the prosecutor in catalonia and he will have to ask to a judge if so many has to go to trial or not so things still need to be to be decided actually but it's politically relevant that sylvie knew once to be to be to be on trial because the narrative now is about you know himself saying that he's protecting italy protecting the borders and the opposition say that there's there was no risk with 131 migrants alleging in italy there was no risk for italy security for these wait looks like selena wants to face trial. or at least trying to face trial and use the trial to boost his popularity which is it now declining according to the last polls in the last elections in a 1000000 of money and so this is a kind of historic thing in italy as silvio berlusconi used to do the same thing so when he was under trial he was accusing. the judges and the prosecutors trying to boost his

was obsessed with keeping migrants out of italy so mr salvini will face a court room will face trial on one count of having a legally detained migrants he may well see that double to 2 counts by the end of this month. it's somebody in the german city of dresden as it commemorates the victims of a mass carpet bombing campaign it's estimated that 25000 civilians died in the raids led by british and american air forces subdue 5 years ago to the day since then historians have questioned whether it was a necessary move for the 2nd world war needed to end. everything around turned into now i see a woman in her hands is a bundle it's a child she runs and falls the child disappears into the plains. and we have the story of about whose parents had the foresight to take him out of dresden shortly before the bombing began and although he was only 5 years old at the time he still has recollections of what his family went through. my father rented 2 small rooms for my brothers and for his mother in law where we were temporarily accommodated we were evacuated on february 11th and did not witness t
