To free it from terrorism and separatism well go live to delhi. Im brian thomas thanks very much for joining us italys Fragile Coalition government is hanging by a thread today after deputy Prime Minister material salvini called for new elections he says his partys coalition with the populous 5 Star Movement had collapsed over policy differences the 2 governing parties have been at odds over a host of policy issues but tensions have spiraled since the senate rejected a move by fivestar to kill an undead rail link with neighboring france Prime Minister just at the conti said he would convene parliament as requested by salvini to seek a confidence vote. But conti also condemns salvia needs a broad call for a snap election no spade. It is not the syria minister to decide the timing of a political crisis. In which other institutional actors are involved. To the interior minister in his responsibilities as a senator and leader of the league. To explain to his country to justify to the voters who believed in the prospects of change. The very reasons that bring him to premier truly interrupt the action of the governor of new york. I do my job with my heart with on our with pride if i can do it freely and until the end if i realize that someone is trying to stop me then the decision must go back to the italian people with no ifs and no buts it will be you who will decide you and no one else will. For the very latest lets bring in journalist philip will on joining us from rome good day philip what happens now and are we likely to see new elections in italy. His i think at this point near lections our own is inevitable a yeah crisis will be under the control of the president of the republic and he can certainly look for an alternative government in parliament see if there are any alternative 1st solutions that would be viable i think thats extremely unlikely and theres really no appetite for any sort of technocratic or Caretaker Administration to take over from the current government just. Ok now severely is riding high in opinion polls right now that certainly played a role in his decision for snap elections could he come out of a new vote upgraded to Prime Minister. Yes i think thats what he said theyre counting on and it looks extremely likely based on current polling. It is possible that. Not as of the he could emerge as Prime Minister with a majority based purely on his only party but if he says supported by the Wright Brothers initially party and even less of your voters gurneys 40 tahlia then hes really going to sweep the board and will be in a very strong position so i think youre a very surprising if we dont see my tears on the news Prime Minister at the end of this process ok what would a Prime Minister. Material so v. M. Mean for italian politics would he move the country farther to the right. Yes and theres no question that. A government headed by medicare salvi me with a free hand to do what he wants will be very much to the right of the Current Administration where hes been blocked and reined in to some extent by the 5 Star Movement. If hes i with the brothers of italy party who are the mass of italys a Neo Fascist Movement and hell send him a very right wing complection and it looks as though the new government is very likely to be a sovereign istana government and very likely to be at loggerheads with europe and thats been made clear already in will mr samini assent about his economic plans so really the italian system very much shaken up very much changed very much into the right philip wall and for us of rome thought thanks very much. Well salvini has been leading italys backlash against migration across the mediterranean from north africa the legislation threatens captains of rescue vessels with fines of up to a 1000000 euros if they enter telling force without permission it was also pressing other e. U. Countries to take in more of the refugees and migrants who land on its shores and geo rescue ships though continue to carry out their missions did obvious max and are joined the n. G. O. S sea watch off the libyan coast and sent us this report. Takeoff from an undisclosed location. For the german n. G. O. S c. Watch is taking us on a reconnaissance flight over the mediterranean. Mafia and pilots have one Main Objective saving lives or 30 miles off the libyan coast this is this better trade your group farther africa europe. This search right is looking for a biker with the dangerous crossing 1 that they are rubber boats putting their lives at great risk. Finding them is like looking for a needle in a haystack and conditions are anything but ideal. This you watch aircraft moon bird mainly operates in the search and rescue zone off the coast of western libya an area that spans more than 350 kilometers of coastline this is where migrant boats set off on their perilous journey to italy and malta footage from an earlier mission shows how that looks dozens of people on an overcrowded rubber dinghy passengers often spend days out at sea exposed to the sun and with limited supplies and. People of being on the water for days they usually dehydrated desperate and in a serious medical condition those really are emergencies that have to be evacuated as soon as possible. Because. After hours up in the air. We spot a suspicious object in the water by a half. Thats a sunken rabbiting. For now we dont know what happened to the people on board these cheap inflatable boats are not made to last and sometimes sink after days out at sea even if kai and his crew managed to spot a boat in distress it doesnt mean the passengers will be brought to safety due to a crackdown on n. G. O. S there are very few rescue boats left on the water and merchant vessels try to avoid the affected area all together often the libyan coast guard is the last resort for kelly and his colleagues this is a frustrating experience that. I want the people to reach a safe haven i want nice people to get syrup. And i want them to cross the ocean safely and not be brought back in legally. This is wrong as ships are being seized rescue capacities are being cut somewhere the only ones keeping an eye on the water we have to deal with situations like this. Were back on the ground where exactly we cannot say. Here are aware that there are organizations activities are being closely monitored since the government such as italy have started to crack down on rescue n. G. O. S see watch faces public criticism and accusations that they are aiding people smugglers. A claim that madea vigorously rejects. We would never communicate with people smugglers in our capacity thats simply criminals have made a business with people who suffer and make money out of the 2nd stance that theyre so desperate and see no other way than reaching out to them. Listen i send it to vent cases these claims are used to paint them as criminals and distract from the real issue mentioned it would go to human lives have to be saved for me thats not up for debate and theres too much discussion going on about it about who should be saved and us mom caught as if you know despite the mounting pressure. Say they will continue to go in missions for as long as they are allowed to or until their work becomes no longer necessary. As for if you know some of the other stories making news at this hour u. S. Officials say theyve released some 300 people swept up in a massive immigration raid close to 700 meat packing workers around up in the state of mississippi wednesday on suspicion of working illegally in the country the raids have drawn criticism from leading democrats after children were left without their parents. More than 2000000 muslims have gathered in mecca in saudi arabia for the 1st day of the annual pilgrimage 1st ritual of the harsh requires worshippers to walk 7 times around the kaaba the cube of the center of meccas ground balls. Riot police have gathered outside the home of kyrgyzstans former president almost back. After he was detained by Security Forces there. This followed violent clashes with some of his supporters often base is wanted in connection with corruption allegations which he says are politically motivated. Its to india now where Prime MinisterNarendra Modi has proclaimed what he calls a new era for indian controlled kashmir following his decision to revoke that regions semi autonomous status in a t. V. Address modi said his governments action would free the region from terrorism and separatism supper not as a family. And the whole nation have taken and his story decision. And arrangement in which our brothers and sisters from john knew kashmir and le duc had been deprived of their rights which have been a great obstacle in their development. Is being removed as a result of old now if you should walk. Well pakistan disputes indias claim to that territory and has responded by suspending trade with india and expelling the countrys ambassador however it has ruled out military action a security lockdown in kashmir is now in his fist day with hundreds of local politicians under arrest. The streets are usually thronging with traffic but since dannys decision to revoke to semi autonomous status of engine controlled kashmir Army Fatigues have replaced the colorful bustle of everyday life few civilians still venture from their homes. There is no one in sight on the roads. It doesnt look like a curfew people are imprisoned in their own homes because i feel like the situation kashmir look at worse and this could continue for the next 45 months. I feel like kashmir is on the verge of burning. I feel that whatever the government has done is not right for us to. Over 500. 00 people have been arrested in the engine controlled part of kashmir since monday to military and foresees a tyco few that not only restricts the movement of the population but oh so food and essential supplies. With conditions increasingly difficult migrant laborers code train stations across the region having come in search of work done no desperate to leave. Now as we are leaving because of the curfew the government made the situation worse yesterday the locals asked us to vacate our rooms and told us to go home. We have been here since yesterday there are no arrangements for us to leave no one cares about us neither the government nor the police. There are no arrangements for food we have been lying here hungry. On the fence. Every departing chinese rushed and pulls out of the station packed with people. As the government continues to in sports or not down in kashmir it is ordinary people that suffer the consequences. It abuse on your family cars following the story for us from delhi good morning sania what is your injury modi have planned for kashmir and how long will kashmir be under direct rule from delhi. Well so in his much anticipated speech yesterday Prime Minister moore the you know did defend his governments revoking of this decision to. Autonomy and said that bringing the region under the direct rule of the federal government would put this region on the spot to peace it would help secure the rest of region more that is also suggested that this would help integrate more fully with the rest of india to give its citizens were equal benefits and rights and it would bring much needed investment and jobs and literally you know help people you know the queen them away from from the lot of militancy thats what he suggested but he didnt really allude to the protests that were hearing flaring up at the body he didnt really talk about when that lockdown would be lifted but were hearing today from local Police Officials in the seat of me to suggest that some of the restrictions might be lifted so that people would be able to attend to the friday prayers in the muslim majority ok well yesterday we heard from pakistan it has ruled out any military action at least for now what are its other options at this point. Once pakistan has announced a series of measures in retaliation for this move which says is in breach of International Law pakistans downgrade of trade and diplomatic ties with india yesterday pakistan also hold to the major cross border crates of this with india and pakistan says it plans to take up this issue with the u. N. Security council which does recognize it as a disputed region but in analysts here in india also questioning how much latitude pakistan really hasnt given that it does repeatedly accused of providing support to build it and groups operating in the controlled kashmir. Weve been hearing about hundreds of a local politicians in kashmir whove been placed under arrest do we know about their fate are they under house arrest or are they in prison right now. When we called off these weve heard that 700 people have been detained in raids across the screen some of them have been taken to makeshift shelters and were hearing that these are not just politicians and mainstream politicians in the valley but also you know activists even here in business he does being detained we really dont know much about their feet simply because the region remains in the state of complete lockdown there was a complete communication blackout there but the kind of reports trickling out of the bodies suggest there is a real sense of anger and betrayal among many kashmiris and that a feels that this might you know kind of store cloud the resentments and alienation in a region that has already been scarred by a long running insurgency against indian rule song thanks very much for that from delhi thank you. Oh here in germany berlin City Government like many others in europe is struggling with star rocketing rents and a shortage of housing is putting dramatic measures in place to deal with the crisis including a 5 year rent freeze but many renters continue to be deeply worried about being priced out of their own neighborhoods in a moment well talk with a local politician whos following this issue but 1st we meet a group of tenants facing a very uncertain future. This is just how stack up in the flea sign neighborhood of east berlin Alexander Pushkin likes this historic area the same area where his grandmother lived. Interesting stuff from the shops this is my home because i grew up here and this is where i went to school about a kilometer away from here is where i graduated high school so i want to stay here the i because this is what i know and love says mock the few weeks ago he received a letter informing him that all the units in his Apartment Building will be sold now push is afraid he will lose his home they are already potential buyers. Financing is the kind of venue they were foreigners or from south germany not from berlin the potential buyers were nice and very friendly but made it clear that they plan on living in the apartments themselves. Pushed and the other renters are fighting back if the apartments are sold individually almost all of the tenants could be given notice to leave most of them cant afford to relocate within the same neighborhood so the tenants decided to join forces and find it by a for the entire Apartment Building theyre looking for an investor with a big heart. Ok we want to find someone who says i just dont want the renters to have to move to the suburbs but that is so often the case im someone who wants to give berliners a chance to continue living here and i have the past year thats not so easy most investors are looking to maximize their profits when buying an apartment in berlin. Real estate prices are rising so buyers have to pay a high price for these apartments to get a return on their investment they have to charge more rent or some decide to use the apartments themselves because thats the best option and from a financial point of view. This has resulted in the rents doubling over the past few years and berlin Foreign Investors have played a role in this but the short housing supply and large demand has helped push up the prices. Alexandre pushed and his neighbors are hoping an investor will come to their rescue but the price tag on the building is high almost 7000000. 00 euros their time is running out they only have a few weeks to find a buyer. A situation all too familiar in many european cities for more im joined by i began a charge from the berlin green partys executive committee the greens are part of the citys governing coalition good morning welcome to the showing of a recent survey shows half of berlin residents are deeply worried about skyrocketing rent prices some fear losing their apartments completely the situations similar as i mentioned in many european cities what can you say to reassure these people well i can absolutely understand the fear of losing the homes of many many yes its an incredibly distressing situation we stand with them and we want to support them in any way shape or form we can but our hands are tied to a certain degree because building in tennessee. Federal and not local but its worth fighting for your homes and worth banding together like these and the fighting for your homes and theres other statistics out as well for Building Permits for example they show little investor faith in berlin City Government when it comes to handling the housing crisis Building Permits are down 9 percent year on year in 28000. 00 what can be done to turn that around to build more apartments for people well there is not one clear cut solution the belief in strengthening and supporting building cooperatives and public housing. Combined with for example buying back existing Housing Stock that was so before with taxpayer money that would be taxpayer funded buybacks of apartments so many times in many instances the City Government sold a number of years back yes but there are also combined models banding together again with building cooperatives so with people that want to invest back into the city ok so i would be from the private sector that well Public Private together ok but how do you solve this problem of people worried about not getting any returns on their investments when the rents remain so low because of rent controls well to be absolutely clear we do nothing homeownership is fundamentally wrong we do not believe that landlords are evil but we also do not believe that real estate. Or other homes should become a way of parking money and have a high return on investment we dont need another housing bubble needs a city for people and i dont think that politicians need to stand on the side of capital i think they need to stand on the side of the residents of but then ok so youre saying the right to an apartment the right to a place to live is paramount it comes before Property Ownership them well a city for a vibrant living briefing city you need people. And capital often goes against that ok do you think berlin can block the trend weve seen in european cities like london and paris where very few people who live in the urban core well i lived in london myself so i fix perience that and i certainly hope so because change is coming so many but to really help at least we need the federal government to really step up and take the plight of tenants particular areas seriously and protect them from losing their homes and the social environments ok thank you very much beginner john from the green party here in berlin executive committee for coming in this morning thank you thank you. Well 50 years ago 4 men crossed the road in london and a photographer took a picture that went wrong become one of the best known images in Music History the picture of dizzy brook crossings taken by photographer in mcmillan graced the cover of that bands studio album abbey road and fans have been recreating it ever since.
