First, the head of the Roman Catholic church has denounced europes treatment of migrants calling it scandalous, disgusting, and sinful. Both frances were speaking at saint b. The square as the elevator to saint hood and 19th century bishop known for his advocacy of migrants. His remarks come as italy prepares for a new right when Coalition Government georgia, maloney is expected to become Prime Minister later this month. She is bound to quite down on integration time italys borders and accelerate the repatriation of migrants by pence. Harry, i mean to rank the exclusion of migrants. Scandalous, also indeed, or it is criminal that makes them die in front of us. And so to day the Mediterranean Sea is the Worlds Largest cemetery, who february mid exclusion of migrants is disgusting. It is sinful, it gave me no rest criminal, not to open doors to those who are needy. We exclude them and send them away to concentration camps where they are exploited fia treated as slaves hell get. It will be with us when i speak to ha l o no rap wholly about this. Shes joining us from rome on the news our and shes the head of analysis at the centers for european policy network. Thank you very much. Hello, nora for being with us on al jazeera. So criminal, disgusting, st for some very strong words there from both france is how big of a collision course as, as but him, whether it is new incoming right when government, which, as we know has bound to crack down on a limb, coal immigration, this is not the 1st time the full francis has highlighted the need not just need to leave by the european global level that migration as a phenomenon that is, you know, normal phenomenon, not just are sad, but the include migrants really, you know, social, political class. And so this is not the, you know, what is new is the italian government. What will be an african government, which is bill is, can be actually on the need to stop migration. You need to leave by building on the fact that many citizens have some how and somehow some security issues, not just security, but those are issues when it comes to my runs and accept a new migraines with the fact that maloney which is the leader of the we are team and probably the next Prime Minister has been a pain on india that we need to stop migration because legal migration is based on trafficking or Human Trafficking. So, shipping docking mostly, you know, they are stopping trafficking, Human Trafficking more than, you know, you need to stop migration to say. So she has a very smart rhetoric in this respect. On the other hand is sure that there are type of trends isnt with some part of the dining society, those, you know, catholic, a catholic part. But those are the people that also voted for maloney. So, you know, that is the social clash between, you know, what the church is saying and what, you know, the country, the political leaders is saying that and i was going to ask you about that. As he said, its not the 1st time that the pope has criticized for i parties. And there on time gratian sentences, hes done this with donald trump in the u. S. On the border war there, victoria van in hungry does the popes words and his views resonate with the people in italy at all. What. Whats the fate of the relationship today between the Catholic Church and the italian people . Well, the Catholic Church is very much and is very much listened by both institutions and you know, citizens. But this doesnt mean that the people who come to the specific topic will be, you know, will change something in the sense that even this toby considered a progressive by, you know, Traditional Church and traditional catholics. So it has been, he has been criticizing or you know, you is openness and the way speaking is very much, you know, and, and, and, and, and nobodys with thinking. So its more, it will not change. I believe the feelings that people have migration but certainly will have, you know, those support migration to have some kind of standing within you know, the situation and landscape. So what can we expect then from this new incoming government in italy as far as immigration is concerned, will, will migrate face tougher times in maloneys italy . Well, you know, migration that is regulated was by european those and thats why, you know, italy cannot to stop migration not just stop close to borders so so i dont see that much would change in terms of numbers that we need to leave. But what will change, is there anything to push them back to once they completely dont not qualify for a new body, we try to send them back to their countries. But this is a complex, its not an easy music task and thats been done before. And so i dont think that in practical terms things will change. What will change is rhetoric and i received by wards. Thank you so much for talking to us. Thank you for sharing of use elanora ali from the centers for european policy network. Thank you. Now marches have been held in the us in support of reproductive rights. It come 6 months after the free court ended federal protection allowing women to have an abortion organizes urging people to vote for politicians who support abortion. Right. The next months midterm elections, she advertised the report from washington. Yeah, this wasnt just a margin support of the right to an abortion. This was specifically focused on mobilizing, turned out for the upcoming mid term elections, to defeat those who support the rolling back of female Reproductive Health care. With the chums, our power, our votes. You know that this is a very anti democratic initiative. We know that this is something that the American People do not support. And so were here to make sure that folks have the opportunity to make their voices heard and then make their votes heard on november. Since the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to an abortion in june, the issue is because of a focus on mid term races across the country for the us congress, the state governorships and state legislature. I attracted from what had been seen as a potentially willing platform for the republicans to focus on the economy. Crime and jo buttons, personal on popularity as president , the post address those issues do still dominate voters concerns. But the democrats sends a big opportunity to mobilize even their most dissolution divisions. A handful of counter protests and showed up at the rally to who argue that the whole debate was based on a misunderstanding. And there is no statement of abortion in either direction in the us. And so they returned to the states. And so we think its a lot of misinformation but thats precisely why abortion rights activists say, its so important to get out the vote locally. Since june republican govern state to state have restricted access to abortions. In addition, joe Biden Says Congress could codify the right to motion into federal law. If the democrats had a few more votes in congress, thats the promise multiple democratic president s have not kept in the past. Not long ago, it seemed like a real possibility that the democrats would be completely wiped out in these mid terms because of inflation and jo bidens, low popularity ratings. But now the democrats hope the republican overreach on abortion, will leave the Democratic Base and swing voters to vote democrat, despite their disappointments and what theyve achieved since taking control of congress on the presidency ship or time. See al jazeera washington, the economy, Climate Change crime and immigration will also be on the minds of us soldiers when they had to hold on november 8th, the elections are crucial for president joe biden, and his democratic party, alan fisher explained. In a months time, the American Public will go to the polls for the midterm elections. For many, this is a referendum until bidens 1st 2 years in the white house. And if the polls are to be believed, it wont be good news for the democrats. What remains clear is that american politics is still incredibly devices. So whats at stake will in the house of representatives, everything, 435 congressional districts. Some are solidly republican, some are solidly democrat, but there are a few that can be flipped. And the republicans know that a net gain of just 5 seats will give them control of the chamber. That would mean nancy pelosi is no longer the speaker. Pushing through the presence agenda. She would be replaced by republican, almost certainly Kevin Mccarthy in the senate, 35 of the 100. 00 seats set up for grabs, but only 10 of those are thought to be competitive. At the moment, both sites have 50 seats with tie breaks, decided by the casting vote of the democratic vice president. Now both sides know that a net gain of just one will give them control of the chamber. Traditionally, the president s party doesnt do well in mid terms. Donald trump lost 40 house seats. Barack obama low, 63 in his 1st mid term. So what are the key issues for voters . First, theres inflation. The cost of everything seems to be going up and not just the basic cost of foodstuffs and wages arent rising at the same level. The economy as most peoples number one concern. Theres also the cost of filling up your vehicle. Its expensive and with opec and everything production cuts is going to get more expensive just as people are going to the fall. So, so bad news for democrats, right . Well, not necessarily the Supreme Courts decision to overhaul abortion rights in the United States has led to more women and democrats registering to vote. They believe the only way to protect abortion is at the ballot box
