we do not accept, and you are right, not italy, but spain, malta, italy, all of her now have a tough stand not wanting to let these vessels land, actually launching criminal prosecutions of some of the rescue mission workers such as yourself. this has had a real effect on the mentality of people who might have made the crossing, and you surely don't want tens and tens of thousands of people to make that crossing, do you? ithink thousands of people to make that crossing, do you? i think we have two see the fact that migration, as such, isjust a two see the fact that migration, as such, is just a fact of human life. imean, such, is just a fact of human life. i mean, everyone outside africa has come from africa at some time, right? the point is that due to the whole, say, history of colonisation, the large inequalities between the global poor and global reach, there isa global poor and global reach, there is a lot of reasons for people to migrate, and there is a lot of injustice between people around the globe, and as long as we don't resolve that, people willjust migrate, and particula

immigration in italy and as a result of that has become possibly italy's most popular politician under his tenure as interior minister he imposed a raft of restrictions including closing down the ports to charity see what vessels that came in and brute illegal immigration from the sea if you look at the figures some people have suggested that as a result of those policies there has been a drastic reduction in the number of people making their way to italy via the mediterranean since those policies were put in place some a look now at 2017 this is the year before mateus salvini became the interior minister and as you can see there were almost 120000 arrivals of. by the sea to italy now a year later when he was interior minister that was reduced by less than 24000 coming in by the sea to italy and so far in 2019 those policies have meant fewer than $6000.00 people arriving on the shores of italy via sea we also saw those policies perhaps projecting a huge up short in popularity for the league his party going from polling 17 percent in the elections in italy the general election in 2018 t

italy has allowed more than 80 migrants to disembark on the southern island of lampedusa after 6 days at sea aboard the ocean viking vessel the move signals a change of approach by italy over migration but rome says the vessel was only allowed to dock because most of the migrants will be relocated to other e.u. countries. a few days ago they were rescued from the sea now they are celebrating these migrants a change of government in italy means they found a safe. haven a somewhat mocking village here arriving at a place where he will understand and listen to us. we are very happy to there in that we are disembarking in lampeter saddles. but it's lee's new foreign minister says this doesn't mean the restrictions against migrant rescue vessels have been lifted a lot along. here all cradle. she's young and i believe there's a big misunderstanding about the safe port given to ocean viking. could it was assigned the portal only because the adhered to our request to take a significant share of the migrants that are the case that people actually get clear that even before under the previous g

italy and germany. well, ideologically, aren't they more alike, but historically the italians didn't like the germans very much. they got smashed by them in world war i and the germans didn't respect the italians at all. hitler happened to respect mussolini, the elder fascist states person. but until 1935 italy was a more consistent hard core opponent of german expansion than either britain or france, and she did this by trying to protect the independence of austria. so there would be space between italy and germany. would you want germany on your border? but at the same time mussolini had big eyes for empire. he was jealous of what hitler was doing, and he was jealous of the british empire, and he was jealous of the french empire, and he wanted equivalent status for himself and for the italian people. so when he goes into ethiopia thinking well, the british and french have done nothing about german expansionism, why should they oppose what i'm doing, he uses airplanes. he uses poison gas against people
