You. Didnt he says the spike in migrants arrivals of to rome overturns former interior minister. Decision to close the rescue boats. International thanks for joining us. Another huge anti beijing protest in hong kong has left at least 66 people injured after protesters clashed with the police well 180 people were arrested the authorities used tear gas Water Cannons and rubber bullets to break up the crowds. Tens of thousands to paul to the valley called National Grief the protesters bill barricades that cools traffic chaos they smash the Pension System the metro system some chanted proud to be british of the latest vegas but. This has been the worst violence the city has seen in weeks if not months and the preparations were well advanced the authorities even shut down the entire metro system in the chinese rule city it appears that the weapon that was used most by the protesters were molotov cocktails or fire bombs they were being thrown around different parts of the city and thats why we saw so many things in flames including vehicles and motorcycles in fact the police have confirmed that number of cars were torched all around the city one location the protesters even used corrosive fluid injuring Police Officers and a number of reporters now on the other hand the authorities have confirmed that a Police Officer shot a protester in the chest with a live round in it was caught on camera. We know that previously just because rubber bullets have been widely used there have been from that but this is definitely a precedent Police Though are saying that they were grad having to pull the trigger although theyre saying they were obliged to do so by. The logic of of riotous attack Police Offices despite a warning from the police they say lets continue to have violent attacks. The Police Officers lives were on the serious threat to save his own life and the lives of his colleagues he fired a live shot at this sale and the police force really didnt want to see anyone been injured it is really hard broken. Now these protests have typically been confined to the weekend so it was the exception today this is a very special day for china it is a tobar the 1st Chinas National Day so to say but tobar the 1st 21. 00 thing is even more special because it is the 70th anniversary of the founding of the peoples republic of china and there are massive celebrations a lavish parade in beijing with all the communist Party Leaders there including the chairman paying this is why the protesters felt they were obliged mostly young people in hong kong to make sure that their message is heard to make sure that they are seen in beijing and all around the world and they had been preparing well in advance police still banned any kind of such rallies ahead of that and this is a statement that was issued by the authorities before these protests began dahlan acts are one step closer to the actual terrorism the latest development of the situation or extreme volumes that happened in hong kong. And to the police we continue to collect intelligence and liaise with different stakeholders including the relevant Government Units to sets assess the level of threat like i said the worries were out there and now the scenes that we were seeing on tuesday they do resemble some of the worst violence during the arab spring protests or the worst days of the yellow vests protests it has really as collated very much now the demands of the protesters have evolved over the months what is the motivation at this point we do have to remember that initially when the protests began several months ago and in fact something for my. So you go the youth in hong kong they were mostly unhappy with the possible changes the proposed changes to the controversial extradition wall these changes would have allowed. To move suspects or people that were fully criminally charged to Mainland China and the fear among the youth was some unfair trials things like that however these plans were later officially suspended or fully scrapped that was the announcement although the protests didnt stop and this Movement Really turned into something prodemocracy anti beijing in some cases even separatist thats why as i was saying again it was very important for them to come out and put their message across on Chinas National Day and just for you to get an idea of what the protest is like right now what their ideas are just listen to one of the protest leaders joshua want. Its time to let member or she aware that now is our battle no matter on the battlefield and. On the straight and International Level so lets have a look at where this goes because clearly there will be more entries and arrests in the streets of hong kong. Meanwhile police raided various locations on monday and tuesday over suspicions father bombs and explosives were being made in makeshift factories a large amount of weaponry armor materials to make most of cocktails were reportedly 51. 00 rests were made at the time from a Police Officer peter cook says rises are leaving the police with no option but to use lethal force. The law in hong kong has got lots of similarities with the law in the u. K. Which means that you would only use potentially lethal force if you honestly believed that someones life was in danger of the protests steadily become more and more violent. Attack in profit so you setting fire to things the police are going to hold the line as best they can and unfortunately that means whatever force is used against them if appeals for people to stop and disperse. Then im afraid the only option for any Police Service anywhere in the world is to meet force with force if thats the nature of the protest this isnt just people carrying placards around this is people attacking police lines attacking and destroying property and no Police Service anywhere in the world about to happen and its just a question of what tactics you use to do the. U. S. Democratic president ial candidate joe bidens Campaign Team has demanded that major t. V. Networks ban on personal lawyer from appearing on the shows allegation is that really giuliani spreading damaging false about biden and they say its on behalf of the u. S. President it will protect a closer look former new york city mayor Rudy Giuliani is making his rounds on americas t. V. Networks now rightly or wrongly donald trump is under a lot of heat facing impeachment inquiry and Rudy Giuliani intends as the president s lawyer to tell the other side of the story but the president s talking about is however there is a. Motive evidence that the ukrainians created false information people were ignoring that that biden played a role in getting these collusion allegations covered up i didnt ask him to look into joe bugner yes knew of the allegation of the related my client which tangentially involved joe biden in a massive bribery not unlike what he did in china one of the points that Rudy Giuliani has been making is that there seems to be evidence of potential corruption from joe biden and his son in both ukraine and china now the Biden Campaign seems to believe this talking point is off limits in an unprecedented move weve actually got the joe Biden Campaign asking t. V. Networks not to interview Rudy Giuliani saying that what he says in these interviews is somehow out of bounds we want you to demand to the facts you no longer book Rudy Giuliani a surrogate for donald trump who has demonstrated that he will knowingly and willingly lie in order to advance his own narrative its now an open question will t. V. Networks in the United States that claim to be fair balanced in showing both sides of the issue actively boycott one side the president of the United States aside to be precise lets not forget that the debunked Conspiracy Theory that somehow russia and trump colluded in order to win the white house was in the headlines all over the us media and at this point Rudy Giuliani says they are conspiring to silence him why because theyre afraid of the facts and the reason they want me to be silenced is not because im funny and its because ive got. The facts and because shes guilty and these folks are repeat offenders one of the coauthors of the letter is a need to done now she was a former White House Communications director under obama and its reported that as White House Communications director she declared war on fox news the white house had no dealings with a major t. V. Network now some saw that as an affront to the 1st amendment. Lets be realistic here howie you know they are they are widely viewed as you know part of the Republican Party take their talking points put them on the air take their Opposition Research put money are not find is this move against Rudy Giuliani the 1st step in pushing pro trump voices off of mainstream american t. V. Networks or is it just a president ial race where all means are good lets talk to new yorkers were not idiots we all know what channels feel a certain way which shows officer. Thats what they do all the time they try to shut out the other side i dont think its fair i think to giuliani should be able to speak and biden should be able to refute any any charges Rudy Giuliani i think hes earned the right to be at c. V. In fact he was the mayor of new york city through a very traumatic situation 911 i thin everybody has the right to be there if you. Press when you new. Democracy even here in the Democratic Party stronghold of new york city seems like very few americans are sold on the idea that t. V. Networks should be boycotting the president s lawyer. R. T. New york. Will move against giuliani follows the democrats launching an impeachment inquiry against donald trump over claims that he offered Ukraine Military aid if it investigated biden for corruption trumbull the g. s biden tried to quash ukrainian probe into a gas company is some fool so far 224 democrats out of 235 along with one independent member of voted in favor of an inquiry but less than 30 of them of publicly stated they want the u. S. President impeached 143 republicans are among those against the probe with some branding the process division politics. As democrats push for the impeachment inquiry the u. S. Department of justice is running an inquiry of its own looking into the origins of the move the probe into russian collusion and it not being sure to twist the york times reported that trump pressed the australian Prime Minister during a phone conversation to help dig up information on the probe but the spokesman for Prime MinisterScott Morrison has played down that plane merely saying that the subject was discussed and australia was always willing to help in the investigation. So that more conservative political commentator and journalist joins be on the line now welcome chadwick we just mentioned to that New York Times claiming president discussion with Prime MinisterScott Morrison showed the president using high level diplomacy to advance persons personal political interests do you think theres anything to that story no i think its complete nothing i mean 1st of all even had he even if this report is true its nothing untoward its nothing illegal the times can use the word pressed all they want to make it sound more frightening to make it sound theres something nefarious going on President Trump gave a press conference. To a journalist and said as much that he would be speaking to officials in the u. K. In the ukraine and it also really had to figure out what was going on with this whole fake Russian Investigation and the democrats brought this on themselves you know the sort of deep state actors that were or were some of the strongest critics and brought about this whole phony investigation they are the ones who said that this came from australia so why wouldnt the president look into that if it could have been meddling it could have been any number of things. Now that the transcript of the call between morris and interim parent was restricted to a small number of the president s aides say mr actions placed on the cool with the ukrainian president do you think theres anything suspicious about that. It doesnt seem so at all and it doesnt seem like in either of those situations that the investigation russia gate was the point of the phone call in the transcripts with with the ukraine with president alinsky there was nothing in there that even suggested that there was some sort of coercion going on you know the democrats are doing this the democrats are doing this to get the attention off of joe biden where theres very very strong evidence that he was using his office illegally to help his son and his dealings in ukraine as soon as this happened the democrats come out with impeachment they try to turn this around on the president and they can get away with it because the media is basically like a dog with the stick and wherever the democrats throw the stick the media will go and now its just get the attention off biting and skip trying to get this russia investigation going i mean its dead theres nothing there theres absolutely nothing there but the media will keep fighting as long as the democrats want them to so lets say the pietschmann process goes ahead what do you think the democrats are hoping to achieve because the republicans control the senate so surely theres really no chance of success in the long run. Roy it only seems like theyd be shooting themselves in the foot you know its were coming up on an Election Year and if we saw anything in the 2800. 00 midterms the democrats maxed out their voters right to vote democrat voters were out in full force and 28 Team Republicans basically stayed home and what happened well they had modest gains in the house of representatives nothing historical there was no blue wave it was you know for an Opposition Party in a midterm year it was actually a pretty low victory usually the Opposition Party comes out much more ahead so what do they thinks going to happen in 2020 if they try to impeach this president perhaps the most popular repressive republican president in history with the Republican PartyRepublican Voters are going to be out in full force just like they were in 2016 and the democrats cant beat that so you know if theyre only doing this to protect their guy biden in the short term that seems to be whats going on because this is a phony impeachment proceeding they would be rigid they would be shooting themselves in the foot if they continue to have with it became president despite all kinds of mud being flung at him during the campaigning process is there a good chance that he actually could have been to mold and seems to have this kind of teflon quality to it. Yeah absolutely does they call him nothing seems to stick to him with the democrats you have an entire party thats only united on one issue all of the 10 candidates for president for their nomination are all united on one issue and that is to take down trump at any cost and yet none of them can manage to land a single blow on the president you see that in the debates and theres such an Enthusiasm Gap between donald trump and the democrats theres no one on the democrat on the democrat side who stands out was really who any of them who are the voters are really energized excited about and you sort of get the impression looking at them that none of them are seriously running for president its almost like they know that President Trump is a shoe in and theyre just doing this in order to find out their next career move cedric good to speak to appreciate you coming on my guest chadwick more journalists conservative political commentators thank you ok and thanks for staying with this news after this short break. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond short and ill be speaking to us from the world of politics or business im show business ill see you then. Welcome back more than 200 migrants have reportedly landed on the telly ensures over the weekend as the country embraces a post salvini era rome recently lifted the former interior ministers controversial ban on rescue boats reaching entirely in ports on the shell of dubious he picks up the story. Under the cup of darkness fresh arrivals set foot on the tully soil these migrants were picked up off the being spotted by the coast guard in the mediterranean over the space of a few hours by the boats full of people also landed on lampedusa the island for years has been at the front line of italys migration courses. The. Former interior minister meant to yourself he may not be everyones cup of tea but his hardline anti immigration policies did seem to resonate with italians his most famous perhaps and most popular move was to close italys ports to charity rescue ships before so be nice parties believe he came to power as part of the coalition it to me had been described as collapsing under the weight for my q
