Concerns brewing, but the u. S. President insists, well, he says the weather is fine. Analysts are raising red flags on a possible recession, but mr. Trump and his top advisers are downplaying those warnings. And thats despite a volatile week on Global Markets and the lingering effects of the trade war with china. Kristen holmes reports. Reporter President Trump certainly had a lot to say as he was leaving new jersey heading back to the white house. He stopped and talked to reporters for about 30 minutes on a wide variety of topics. But it was clear that the economy was really top of mind for him. He came out there saying that he didnt believe these economists who were saying there might be a recession. That he believed the u. S. Was one of the strongest economies in the world. He actually talked about how other economies were not as strong as the u. S. , particularly china. Take a listen to what he had to say. I dont think were having a recession. Were doing tremendously well. Our consumers are rich. I gave a tremendous tax cut and theyre loaded up with money. Theyre buying. I saw the walmart numbers. They were through the roof just two days ago. Better than any poll. Better than any economist. And most economists actually say, phil, that were not going to have a recession. Most of them are saying were not going to have a recession. But the rest of the world is not doing well like were doing. He also talked about those negotiations with china. He said they were going very well. He wouldnt say whether he had spoken to president xi. It was very interesting to see him out there because he was using the exact same talking points we had seen earlier in the day from his top economic advisers. And its clear the white house is using a strategy of deny, deny, deny. Deny that farmers are facing struggles because of these tariffs. Despite the fact weve talked to farmers in the u. S. Who say its been incredibly hard and that government aid is not enough. And to deny that americans are feeling the burden or will be burdened with this trade war despite a report that says that 95 of those price changes are going to fall on the shoulders of u. S. Importers. So its going to be interesting to see how this plays out. Theory, a tactic like this can only work for so long, particularly when people start to feel it on their wallet. Traveling with the president in new jersey, im kristen holmes, cnn. Now to put it into context, natasha joins us, a professor of government at the university of essex joining us from birmingham, england. Good to have you with us. So the talk of recession has the white house certainly playing defense. Several of his advisers took to the airwaves essentially saying nothing to see. But lets stop and see if there is something. Lets listen. I sure dont see a recession. We had some blockbuster retail sales consumer numbers towards the back end of last week. Really blockbuster numbers. The tariffs are hurting china. China is bearing the entire burden of the tariffs. Thats not in terms of what a lot of experts say. This is what this expert says. What we see here unequivocally is that china is bearing the burden by lowering their prices. They lowered the value of the yuan by 12 to offset the tariffs. But if the rubber hits the road, and if a recession becomes a reality, what would it mean for this president , especially for those diehard Trump Supporters . Thats a good question. Think if we look at 2020 and whether or not people are going to vote for trump or not, we can assume that democrats are not. Its really all about moderate republicans and independents and then, of course, the base. The base is not going to be affected by the economy because they vote for trump. They voted for trump because of identity politics. They believe that he is best for defending the country against existential threats or real threats. They feel that he has the right policies on immigration. So theyre not really voting in terms of the way they feel about how the economy is going. But if we look at independents and moderate republicans who are so vital to his reelection bid. Were seeing their confidence in his ability to run the economy has gone down. Even fresh polling has revealed where the entire country thought about 51 of the entire country believed that he was doing a good job running the economy. This has dipped down to 49 . So were seeing that confidence in his ability has decreased and that doesnt look good for him in the election. Conservative media has also taken to defending the president , picking and choosing any data they can find to counter those key Economic Indicators that made wall street so jittery last week. Again, its the politics of denial in full bloom here, but can the president deny his own fingerprints that, as critics suggest, may have contributed to the volatility . Well, hes definitely going to try to deny that he is not responsible for any economic downturn if that does, indeed, happen. Of course, forecasters are saying that we may enter a recession by next year. And he can point the finger as he has already done to china, to the democrats. He can blame jerome powell, head of the federal reserve. And he will then also try to cherry pick data that looks good to him. What he cant deny is the fact that were seeing manufacturing output facing a downturn. Its contracted in the last two quarters. Also really worrying is the Technical Development going on in the bond market known as an inverted yield curve where longterm bonds offer lower Interest Rates than shortterm bonds and thats historically been a reliable indicator that a recession is coming. And then, of course, so much volatility in the bond market and more problematic is the fact that jobs, which had been growing, are now decreasing in the last six months. Job growth has gone down 140,000 per month when it had been up to 225,000 a month. So these are figures he cant really deny. Im sure hell try to find a way out of it. But when the economic downturn does hit, hes going to face a more difficult time focussing on the economy n hes going to have to shift it to identity politics. As for the tariff war with china, where does that leave the United States given the possibility of a weakening global economy, as far as the u. S. Trying to find a path forward there . If trump were to follow through on these threats of tariffs, if would incur a cost of 100 billion for american businesses and consumers. It would be absolutely catastrophic if he were to follow through on these threats. Its in his best interest that he backs down on this. Were already worried about a global recession. The economies in the uk and germany and china are going to be facing a huge economic downturn. It doesnt make any sense to move quicker towards an economic recession by choosing economic policies that are going to expedite this. Now weve seen him back down from the tariff threats before. Right before christmas. Worried that this was going to affect consumers. And so hopefully hell hes the advice of sound economic advisers that will tell him that hes going to need to back down on these threats of tariffs and try to negotiate with china and find a way out of this. Can both sides walk away from this looking like winners, or will one side say, hey, you blinked . Well have to see. Natasha, we appreciate your time. Thank you. Thanks for having me. Before returning to the white house sunday, mr. Trump also discussed afghanistan. The United States is holding peace talks with the taliban. The president says that he wants to pull even more u. S. Troops out of americas longest war. Listen. Looking at afghanistan, were talking to afghanistan, both the government and also talking to the taliban. Having very good discussions. Well see what happens. Weve really got it down to probably 13,000 people. And well be bringing it down a little bit more, and then well decide whether or not well be staying longer or not. Even if the white house reaches a deal with the taliban, many in afghanistan are questioning if they will actually get peace. The u. S. Wants to pull its troops out, but the taliban dont even recognize the u. S. Backed Central Government in that nation. The peace talks have also been behind closed doors, shrouded in secrecy. Still, it looks like the two sides are close to a deal, according to the new york times. Heres some of what the agreement covers. A timetable for u. S. Troop withdrawal. A taliban promise to cut ties to terror groups. The times also says a ceasefire has been discussed but no detailed plan has been agreed upon. The u. S. Also wants direct talks between the taliban and the afghan government. Whether or not the taliban and government agree to speak, other groups seem committed to violence. Isis has claimed responsibility for saturdays suicide bombing at a kabul wedding. At least 63 people were killed and nearly 200 wounded. And the anguish, of course, of families. Families who had to bury their dead at a time they should have been celebrating. The taliban have actually condemned the blast, but days earlier it was a different story. The militants claimed responsibility for a Suicide Attack in that same district. Now to hong kong where protesters are showing the world they are not backing down. Theyre not giving up in their fight for democracy. Look at the scene where tens of thousands of people turned out in a big march there in hong kong on sunday. The crowds overflowed out of victoria park. Then they turned the city center into a sea of umbrellas. The march was unauthorized, but it was calm. After weeks of clashes between police and protesters, sundays rally was a move to restore peace. Our ben wedeman joins us now. He was out with protesters on sunday in hong kong. Good to see you. Those images are simply remarkable. Tens of thousands of protesters pouring into the streets in the calm, peaceful manner with increasing support coming from the public. What were protesters saying to you when theyre out there. They were essentially saying that this protest movement that began way back in june, more than two months ago, is not going away. That this was really a message to the government of hong kong, to beijing, that this protest movement, which began over this extradition bill which has now been declared officially dead by chief executive carrie lam has gone far beyond that. That it is now something that they have their five demands which they are sticking to, but more fundamentally, they want democracy in hong kong. One of the demands is, of course, universal suffrage. And what we saw was yesterday, at least according to the organizers of this march, 1. 7 Million People taking to the streets. Thats essentially a quarter of the population of hong kong coming out to protest. This, despite the fact that for much of the day, it was raining. And at some points, raining very hard. Now whats significant is that this weekend, for the first time in quite some time, there were no direct clashes between the protesters and the police. There was no tear gas fired. There were scattered incidents where some of the protesters threw projectiles at the police. They used laser pointers which the police have deemed as lethal weapons. And there was a lot of use of obscenity by some of the protesters, but, by and large, it was very peaceful. What i saw was a lot of families out. Children, older people. I even saw a man in a wheelchair protesting as well. So this is a message that this protest after what these chaotic scenes we saw at the airport earlier this week or rather last week, that this is a peaceful protest and its a message to the government here and to beijing that this protest needs to be taken seriously. That you cant, as is currently the situation, ignore these demands and expect hong kong to go back to busines as usual. Rosemary . Well continue to watch and see what happens and what sort of strategy protesters have Going Forward because the hope is that at some point there will be some level of negotiation. We shall see. Ben wedeman joining us live, thanks. Still ahead, the former profit sudan is set to go on trial on corruption charges which brought down his 30year tenure. We have a live report ahead of what Omar Al Bashir faces, ahead for you. Plus, Food Shortages and delays at the border. A leaked report suggests thats what the uk faces in a Nodeal Brexit. Well look at some of the other predictions in a live report from london. Were back in just a moment. When we started our business we were paying an arm and a leg for postage. I remember setting up shipstation. One or two clicks and everything was up and running. I was printing out labels and saving money. Shipstation saves us so much time.

Quickbooks. Backing you. The corruption trial of sudans ousted president is set to begin in khartoum. Omar al bashir was arrested and forced from power back in april in a coup hes also wanted by the International Criminal court for war crimes in Sudans Darfur region. Following the story, nima al baggar is live. The backdrop is key with people there seeing the nation inch ever so closer to civilian rule. Theyre also seeing the man who ruled for 30 years see his day in court. Absolutely, george. Its a step, a baby step, given that the charges hes facing are with reference to financial corruption. The accepting of illegal gifts and possession of hard currency. It is not regarding any of the actions that he and his forces took that resulted in the deaths and the injury of hundreds of protesters. So its understandable that many in sudan are feeling slightly jaundiced given that yesterday saw a landmark agreement between the military council and the forces for freedom and change which, unfortunately, the signatory on the side of the military council was the man whose forces are implicated in the deaths of many protesters. But its still a step forward. Thats what we keep hearing from those were speaking to on the ground in khartoum and across the country. Its a big, big step given that demonstrations against al bashir only started about nine months ago to the day. To see him in trial is a big movement for many sudanese. Lets talk as well about this power sharing agreement. Signed saturday, what does that mean for people in sudan . It will kickstart a transitional period of three years and three months. And at the end of which the country should be ready for actual genuine democratic elections and actual genuine transition to democracy. But given that many of those who are on this council, many of those who will be part of this Sovereign Council overseeing this transitional period were those who were part of bashirs government, if not in the forefront, at the very least in the shadows. There are concerns about what they can do in three years and three months. But many of those again that weve been speaking to say that they put their confidence in their hope in themselves. The Sudanese Revolutionary movement has pers veefed for nine months in the face of tear gas and live ammunition. They believe they have what it takes to see this across the finish line. Nima, thank you. Iran is claiming diplomatic victory after its detained oil tanker was released by britain. The ship departed from the british territory of gibraltar just hours ago. It set sail to an unknown destination under the cover of night. Its release came after gibraltar rejected a u. S. Warrant to keep the vessel in port. Britain took control of the ship in july. It was suspected of carrying 2 Million Barrels of oil for syria in violation of eu sanctions. Meantime, a britishflagged tanker that iran seized last month is still being held. The uk is expected to leave the European Union in less than 75 days. But fears of a Nodeal Brexit are growing. Documents leaked to the sunday times suggest the uk faces shortages of food and fuel, long delays at border crossings and widespread protests if it leaves the eu without a deal. For more were joined by haddis gold in london. So what else do these documents reveal and how is all this being received by the British Public . Good morning, rosemary. Yeah, these warnings came from a what was pretty much a government memo called operation yellow hammer. It was what would happen in a nodeal scenario. Im going to read some of the warnings they have. They say freight disruption at ports could last up to three months which means transfer flow could be down 50 to 70 . Fresh food becoming less available. Medicines having a hard time getting through the border and hard irish border that could spark protests. They also said that a rise in public disorder and Community Tensions as a result possibly of food and drug shortages. Whats also new in this document is the possibility of fuel shortages. Weve heard about the food and medicine shortages but the fuel shortages is something new. Something thats worrying people as a result of this document. Now the government has come out. Theyve decried this league as a disgruptled former minister putting this out and saying this is an old document. Listen to what the secretary in charge of the Brexit Nodeal preparations said just a bit ago. The document that has appeared in the sunday times was an attempt in the past to work on what the very, very worst situation would be so that we could take steps to mitigate that. And we have taken steps. Not just to deal with some of the risks but also to make sure our economy and country are a better place than ever to leave the European Union on october 31st. So there is an argument over how recent this document is. The sunday times said this document is very recent. As you can see there, hes saying its all and theyre better prepared than what this document says. But the timing of this leak is interesting because Boris Johnson is set to go to berlin and paris this week to try to convince eu leaders to give the uk a new deal. So what is the strategy for Boris Johnson and his government Going Forward now that this worst Case Scenario has been revealed . We dont know, as you say, how old this is. But whats expected to happen come october 31st . Well, Boris Johnson has said on october 31st, the uk will leave the eu, do or die. That pretty much means hes ready to take the uk out in a nodeal scenario. Hes going to paris and berlin to talk to macron and merkel about what they could get in possibly a new deal. However, the eu has said over and over theyve already got a deal. The Withdrawal Agreement they agreed to with theresa may is the only deal on the table. So its not clear exactly what Boris Johnson is going to tell them, whether this is going to be something to do with politics or whether they will somehow be able to hammer out some new agreement. Haddas gold, thank you, from london. Appreciate that live report. Venezuelas economy is in shambles with food, medicine and fuel in short supply there. But there is one area of the country that surprisingly is thriving. In a cnn exclusive, isa soares takes us to volatile southern venezuela and uncovers a network of corrupt Venezuelan Military and violent gangs exploiting a fortune in gold. Reporter on the fringes of the amazon rain forest, a statesponsored network of violent gangs n corrupt Venezuelan Military hide amongst a vast land rich in minerals and seeping gold. All this has made this area maduros eldorado and its giving him a financial lifeline. Weve come deep into the mining arc to find out how Nicolas Maduro is holding on to power. And able to resist american pressure. Hes given himself direct control over this land, and hes bleeding it dry. Enriching himself and buying the allegiance of the military. And it all starts with the local miners. Here with mouths to feed at home risk is all operating in this lawless region. And you can watch the full report at 4 00 p. M. Eastern time. Thats 9 00 p. M.

Want to check the headlines this hour. In afghanistan, families buried their dead sunday. This after a suicide bombing at a wedding in that Nations Capital city of kabul. It happened saturday. The blast killed at least 63 people, wounded almost 200 others. Isis is claiming responsibility. The iranian tanker that was detained for six weeks has left british territory. It set sail after gibraltar denied a u. S. Request to hold the vessel on a warrant. Britain had suspected the ship was carrying oil to syria. That would be a violation of eu sanctions. The tankers new destination is not known. It was President Trump and his top advisers dismissing recession concerns. That is despite a volatile week on the global bond market and u. S. Stocks plunging before regaining some ground by friday. The president s advisers also brush aside the impact of the trade war with china. Even as the trade war shows no sign of ending, a new poll finds an alltime high number of americans support free trade. The poll by nbc and the wall street journal found 64 , including a majorities of democrats and republicans, believe free trade with Foreign Countries is good for america because it opens new markets. Thats a sevenpoint increase from 2017. 27 think it hurts manufacturing and other industries. Now to the u. S. State of minnesota. A battleground state. President trump is eyeing for his reelection bid. In order to win, he must win over a key demographic suburban women. But as Martin Savidge reports, its proving to be a difficult task for the president. Reporter President Trump has his sights set on winning minnesota in 2020. This is supposed to be a democrat state. I dont think so. I dont think so. I dont think so. They have a very big surprise coming, dont you think . Reporter the reason hes so focused is because he barely lost the state to Hillary Clinton in 2016. And because minnesota is home to squad member Representative Ilhan Omar who trump has repeatedly attacked. In order to win, trump needs a strong showing from his base. And to hold on to his support in the suburbs with voters like kelly meyers. Who would you vote for again in 2020 . Still donald trump. No misgivings . No doubts . No change of mind . No. Reporter Amber Griffin still supports trump despite his hateful speech and tweets against people of color. You heard the terrible things he said. Yeah, i think hes just probably ignorant and he says whatever hes a product of his environment. How he was raised. Reporter neither woman blames the president for the backtoback Mass Shootings in el paso and dayton or for a lack of swift gun control leadership. Yet political experts say there are signs trumps appeal to suburban voters in minnesota is shifting based on the midterms. We certainly saw some of the cracks in support among republican swing voters or even some republican women voters coming over to the democrats because of dissatisfaction with donald trump. The clearest sign of that was in state house races and the congressional races. Reporter polling suggests trump struggles in the suburbs arent just limited to minnesota. A Washington Post abc poll found the president s Approval Rating with suburban men was 51 , but among suburban women, the figure was much lower at 37 . I talked to several women trump voters here who have grown tired of the twitter rants of images of children separated from their parents at the border and in i. C. E. Raids and who worry about the economy. They arent sure if theyll vote for the president again. All declined an interview. When it comes to talking about a political change of heart, many of the women who i spoke to just arent comfortable about going on camera in front of a national audience. Id just about given up when i met mary joe anderson. She gladly vote forward trump in 2016 and still likes many of his policies but she cant bear to see families separated and has grown increasingly bothered by his bitter battles that seem without reason. He opens his mouth and says things and then has to retract them. I dont like that. I think you should know what youre going to say and say it the proper way. Reporter shes not certain shell vote for him again. Oh, no. No, no, im going to look at everything. But theres too many running on the other side. So im not looking now. Id rather wait. Reporter she says she knows other women having second thoughts. Suggesting for trumps reelection hopes in minnesota and beyond theres trouble in the suburbs. Martin savidge, cnn, minneapolis. In the state of South Carolina, its the fourth contest in the democratic primary schedule. Black voters there are a key voting bloc. Three democratic hopefuls who are scrambling to excite voters paid a visit to that state over the weekend. How did Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg and Bernie Sanders go down . Dalea santiago has more. Reporter you often hear Elizabeth Warren talk a lot about those plans that she has. Not the case sunday in columbia, South Carolina. She really spent some time focussing on faith and her personal story to introduce herself to voters. Thats because on sunday, she was speaking to a predominantly black church in columbia. Most of the voters here, more than 60 of the electorate for the primary, those are going to be black voters. Candidates spent a lot of time courting that court. After she spoke at the church, i asked voters what exactly they thought about what she said from the pulpit and what it would take to win their vote. Listen. Its about our social security. Thats one of the things. Our retirement. And just basically keeping the economy going. Once the if the economy is good, then everybody seems to get a little bit of pie. She was trying to let us know how she grew up. We kind of grew up the same way, in the city. I live right down the street. I grew up right down the street. So i knew exactly where she was talking about and how, you know, to be in the community and be a part of the community. And for these campaigns and the candidates, what you heard riva say, thats exactly what theyre looking to hear. That the candidates are able to connect on a personal level with voters. Senator Bernie Sanders was also in north carolina. He spent some of his time talking about bringing the country together in unity and also releasing a new criminal justice plan which, when i spoke to one young black voter, thats what he wants to hear from candidates. What exactly they will do to reform the criminal justice system. Mayor Pete Buttigieg also was talking about his douglas plan. He says there are racist systems and structures in place, and that proposal is what he says he wants to do to dismantle that. But what will work here in South Carolina . Well, time will tell. Many of the voters say its a little too early to make a decision but theyre certainly putting those short lists together for now. Leyla santiago, cnn. Now to west texas where cnn was granted access to see inside a new detention facility built for migrants trying to enter the United States. But journalists were not able to film the detainees or to interview them. Immigration officials in the u. S. Have faced heavy criticism for squalid and overcrowded conditions. Natasha chen reports on whats being done. Reporter we have giant tent facilities here. One for adult men separating from adult women. Now this place can hold up to 2,000 migrants, but when our photo journalists went in there on the tour thursday, he saw only about two dozen people. This place right now holds just adults as opposed to the thousands of children being held in a tent city here in the vicinity up until january. Thats a separate thing. This facility here was built within a matter of 45 days thanks to emergency funding approved by congress in late june. Mcaleenan did not take questions. It was to show media there were resources here for food, water, hygiene products. Theres been a significant drop in illegal border crossings which means theres less overcrowding. They can process adults and children faster out of cbp custody onto other departments. Dhs will be asking for more emergency funding from congress so they can build a longer term facility because if there is a surge like we saw earlier this year, the space will desperately be needed. Natasha chen, cnn, texas. This next story coming up about shadowy armed groups that have shown up in syria in parts of africa and in crimea. We hear from a man who says he was a mercenary in russias private army. Were back in a moment with that. I got this Mountain Bike for only 11. Dealdash. Com, the fair and honest bidding site. An ipad worth 505, was sold for less than 24; a playstation 4 for less than 16; and a schultz 4k television for less than 2. I won these bluetooth headphones for 20. I got these three suitcases for less than 40. And shipping is always free. Go to dealdash. Com right now and see how much you can save. An exclusive cnn report exposing a secret private army doing russian president Vladimir Putins bidding around the world. That to right. Cnn has learned that the reach of this shadowy fighting force is expanding, apparently led by a putin ally linked to u. S. Election interference. Heres cnns chief International Correspondent clarissa ward. Reporter this is oleg. He says he worked as a hired gun in russia for a shadowy mercenary group called wagner thats become a valuable tool for the kremlin. Translator wagner is putins instrument of using force. I cannot say its an army in the proper sense of that word. Its just a fighting unit that will do anything that putin says. Reporter this is the first time a former wagner employee has agreed to speak on camera. And oleg asked us to disguise his identity. Private military contractors are illegal in russia. Officially wagner doesnt exist. But cnn has discovered the group has hundreds of viters operating on three different continents, and this is the man believed to be behind that expansion. Dubbed putins chef because of lucrative catering contracts with the kremlin, pregozin is sanctioned by the u. S. For funding the Internet Research agency accused of meddling in the 2016 election. Translator im a mercenary, and 90 of participants of the company were like me and they were motivated by money. What sort of training was it . Where did it take place . Reporte translator you know, i didnt have any training as such. Not then. I spent six days in the Training Camp. I went to a firing range twice and shot a machine gun once. Reporter cnn travelled to molkino to try to get to wagners Training Camp and found the group has a surprisingly close relationship with the Russian Military. The only way to get into the wagner barracks is to get through that checkpoint which is manned by the Russian Military because this actually belongs to a Russian Special forces unit. Not far from molkino theres a monument to faller wagner fighters. Visitors are not welcome, so we approached with a hidden camera. It looks less like a memorial than a fortress. A guard soon comes up to us. Is the church only for wagner, i ask. I dont know for whom, he says. For the people who were in syria, i press him . I dont know. Im telling you, he says. Im just guarding here. He begins to get suspicious of our questions and we decide to leave. Lets go. They didnt let us inside, which is not surprising because in that compound is the only tangible, visible proof that wagner is real. No surprise, perhaps, that the monument is funded by a pregozin owned company. It was five years ago in crimea that mysterious unidentified fighters dubbed little green men helped moscow wrest the province from ukraine, even as the kremlin fained ignorance. It was a success and moscows use of mercenary forces has since grown. Analysts say none of this could happen without putins approval. Do you think that part of the mission of wagner is to help russia restore its role to become a major global superpower again . Translator yes. 100 . This is the top priority for wagner. And so its trying to be a rival to america . Translator russia is trying to suppress the u. S. In every way possible. Using legal and illegal means. Its trying to smash it, get the better of it somehow. What will come of it as a result . Nothing good, i think. Reporter but for russian president vladimir putin, wagner is still a worthwhile gamble, an expendable fighting force with no accountability. Clarissa ward, cnn, molkino, russia. Cnn attempted to contact evgeni pregozin. His lawyers did not respond. We also tried to contact wagner but because it officially does not exist, it has no address or phone number or website so were unable to reach there. And we asked the Russian Ministry of defense for comment but received no response to our question. A stranded rescue ship carrying more than 100 migrants has submitted an urgent request to dock on an italian island. But italys italian minister has refused to let the ship into port. Thats led some of the migrants to take Desperate Measures and caused a political firestorm there. Reporter a desperate search for a place to land. Migrants seen in this video make a valiant attempt to swim to an italian island sunday after being stranded on a rescue ship in the mediterranean for more than two weeks. The spanish humanitarian ship called open arms rescued more than 130 people in maltese waters august 1st. The ship waits off the italian island of lampedusa. The quest for refuge at a standstill because of a stalemate with the italian government. An Italian Court ruled wednesday that the open arms should be permitted to dock in italy despite a ban by the far right interior minister mateo salvini. A bitter political standoff between Prime Minister conte and salvini as to whether or not the ship can dock on the island. Salvini did allow 27 unaccompanied minors aboard the ship to disembark in italy saturday, but placed the responsibility exclusively on Prime Minister conte. Spanish Prime MinisterPedro Sanchez offered sunday to open spains doors to the ship at the port. But oscar camp said another five days and 950 miles of travel could be unsustainable. The four migrants who jumped ship have been rescued and returned to the boat but the plea from open arms becomes urgent. Camp said they warned of this days ago. Despair has limits.
