Former interior minister. Welcome to the program. The street unrest in hong kong has left at least 66 people injured more than a 100 people were arrested in the latest standoff. And rubber bullets to break up the crowds. Im. Im. I. Well tens of thousands took part in the rally called National Grief this has built barricades causing traffic chaos they also smashed up entrances to the metro system somewhat chanting proud to be british but the latest shocking interview that spoke to the trend. 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 on 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 boards have been widely used there have been rays 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 once continued their 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 being injured it is really heartbreaking. Now these protests have typically been confined to the weekend so what was the exception today this is a very special day for china it is a tobar of 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 hard 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 walvis that happened in hong kong no decent it to be read. And police will continue to collect intelligence and liaise with different stakeholders including the relevant Government Units to a sense 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 escalated very much. Now the demands of the protesters have volved 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 around 4 months ago the youth in hong kong they were mostly unhappy with the possible changes of the proposed changes to the controversial extradition war 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. This 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 that explosives were being made in makeshift factories a large amount of weaponry and materials to make models of cocktails were reportedly seized with 51. 00 arrests being made former Police Officer peter cook him says rioters are leaving police with no option but to use lethal force. You would only use potentially lethal force if you honestly believe that someones life was in danger at the protests steadily become more and more violent. Attacking property 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 ensued disperse arent met then im afraid that 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 can allow that to happen and its just a question of what tactics you use to do that. U. S. Democratic president ial candidate joe bidens Campaign Team has demanded that major t. V. Networks banned Donald Trumps personal lawyer from appearing on their shows at ledgers that Rudy Giuliani supporting damaging falters about biden on behalf of the u. S. President going to more pain reports. 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 an 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. Lot of 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 us 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 the 1000 service 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. Facts and because hes guilty and these folks are repeat offenders. 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 on t. V. In fact he was the mayor of new york city through a very traumatic situation 911 i think everybody has the right to be interviewed. Thats 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 the move against giuliani follows the democrats loans are going to preach one inquiry against trumbo claims he often Ukraine Military aid if it investigates biden for corruption trump alleges biden tried to quash ukrainian probe into a gas company that is somewhat for so far 224. 00 democrats out of 235. 00 along with one independent member voted in favor of the inquiry over less than 30 of them have publicly stated they want the u. S. President impeached 143 republicans are among those against the probe with some branding the process division politics. Now as democrats push for the impeachment inquiry the u. S. Department of justice is running its own inquiry looking into the origins of the a probe into russian collusion and its not been short of twists either the New York Times reported that trump pressed the australian Prime Minister during a phone conversation to help dig up information on the mall or probe however a spokesman for the Scott Morrison for Scott Morrison rather play down that claim the Australian Government has always been ready to assist and cooperate with efforts to help shed further light on matters under investigation the Prime Minister confirmed this readiness once again in conversation with the president the service of political commentator Chadwick Moore believes the navy or the new york story has no substance to it. Media is basically like a dog with the stick and wherever the democrats throw this stick the media will go and now its just get the attention off biting and keep trying to get this russia investigation going i mean its dead theres nothing there theres absolutely nothing there but the media will keep biting as long as the democrats want them to they are completely biased and theyre trying to make a story where there isnt one so and all you have all relies upon is that word press what does it mean to press another foreign leader. To put a high level coersion or were they simply having you know normal diplomatic talks about about any number of issues and if the president did ask Prime Minister morrison to help find out if someone the Australian Government was behind this hoax theres nothing illegal about that. The u. K. Governments been forced to deny claims it will push for reform of hard border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland after breaks in repose was reportedly part of londons latest negotiations with brussels which have been leaked to the media in the documents number 10 is claimed to have proposed a string of customs posts along both sides of the border as an alternative to an actual physical border and other measure would be the introduction of a simplified customs declaration process london is said to remain adamant that Northern Ireland should not be part of the e. U. Customs union alleged plan has drawn a rebuke from irish officials but Boris Johnson insists checks will have to be in place whatever the outcome of bricks it. Thats just the reality and i think that what were coming up to is as it were the critical moment of choice when i when the u. K. With drus who the e. U. That must be the state of affairs that we have. Been scared as professor of International History at the London School of economics believes shortens being cryptic on purpose about his plans. Playing his cards very close sees chess this mystery surrounding not only the proposals for a deal but also a mystery concerning what will happen of the isnt going to be a deal and i will get to not signing no not asking for an extension on the surface of it over if there isnt a deal he says he wont he druther be dead in the ditch and under no circumstances would he ask for an extension that apparently will break the surrender of bill the ben bill and would be illegal but you know the rumor is go wear on that. Im afraid boriss leaving things the last minute as far as communicating his intentions either to the British Public or indeed to the year. Meanwhile i broke that party m. E. P. Has taken a leaf out of the book the famous team environmentalist quite a thumb bugged by evoking one of our more notable speeches to attack and he broke that parliamentarians. This is the room i should be built i should be back at my smoke house on the other side of london. You have stolen my dreams might i. Might add though goods. With your empty words how dare you. This is so wrong. I shouldnt be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean you have stumbled in my dreams my childhood is what you are and you birds what you can talk about is the money you can produce just tell him hes coming growth how did you. Oh for Goodness Sake something seriously wrong when you have to taffy child in this way. When people on the right try to claim to have a sense of humor and can do. Bring this out as definite proof that they are wrong. These these what passes for brilliance in the regs and. Men taking the sound of a teenager mocking what they fear shes really got under your skin hasnt she is at least seeing a new. Software policy change that story and more after the break. What politicians do something. They put themselves on the line and they get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. Or somehow want to be. Too great to be close this is like them before 3 in the morning cant be good. Im interested in the wives in my. Case it. Seems wrong. Just dont call. Me. Yet to say proud just being educated and engagement equals betrayal. When so many find themselves worlds apart. Just to look for common ground. To. Come back to the program more than 200 migrants have reportedly landed on italian shores over the weekend as the country braces a post salvini era rome recently lifted the former interior minister as controversial buyout of rescue boats reaching italian ports charlotte lewinski 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 5 of the boats full of people also landed on lampedusa the island for years has been the front line of italys migration courses. From the. Former interior minister mr hugh selby 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 came to power as part of the coalition it only had been described as collapsing under the weight for my quince in 2017 almost 120000 are right by sea routes in 2018 the us how we need close the ports that dropped to a little over 23000. 00 many had hoped that the end forcing so its now that seems to be fading and i think there has already been a new immigration pick this is the new beginning of migration from producer. Im very worried to boost im especially worried but all the small bolts that alarmed the i would not want the situation as it was and 2011. I hope that suddenly my feet turn to the government so that he might feel less. Say an equilibrium in the island and stop this trafficking now italy has a new government one that is more pro e. U. And has distanced itself from the politics of selvi me its using much softer language over the issue of migration and its where you open the ports for some this is the start of a slippery slope we probably have and you
