:01:42. > :01:45.and try to reach Italy. But many end up being rescued
:01:46. > :01:47.and the Italian government wants other countries
:01:48. > :01:54.to open their ports to those. France already says no - arguing it
:01:55. > :02:09.will encourage more to make The first clip I want to play is the
:02:10. > :02:12.migration Commissioner. We are ready to increase our support to Italy,
:02:13. > :02:21.encoding substantial financial support if needed. All the states
:02:22. > :02:27.now need to deliver and show solidarity to Italy. That is the EU.

:03:07. > :03:12.unrealistic to think that issue lay -- Italy should do this alone. It is
:03:13. > :03:18.not sustainable. We need other countries joining Italy in sharing
:03:19. > :03:21.that responsibility. Sharing responsibility means finding
:03:22. > :03:37.agreement across the European Union. That has proved consistently elicit.
:03:38. > :03:49.-- elusive. They put out a statement from the Interior Ministers. They
:03:50. > :03:51.were talking about things like reinforcing the southern border of
:03:52. > :03:57.Libya to stop migrants arriving in the first place. That is the kind of
:03:58. > :04:00.things they are looking at. The Interior Ministers of France and
:04:01. > :04:08.Germany are not interested in opening ports for boats to leave
:04:09. > :04:12.migrants there. Indeed, some NGOs say, how can we do that anyway?
:04:13. > :04:16.We'll have enough fuel to get migrants to Italy. We're talking
:04:17. > :04:20.about 1000 people on a boat at the time. We have not got enough fuel to
:04:21. > :04:25.get into France. We have to stop at Italy in the first place. It is a
:04:26. > :04:27.noble. Some of the actions you described could happen more
:04:28. > :04:33.effectively if more money was behind them? It could. But the E is
:04:34. > :04:37.complaining that the 28 member states, as we stand, are still not
:04:38. > :04:43.contributing what they have pledged. They pledged more than 200 million
:04:44. > :04:47.euros, about a similar amount of dollars, maybe more, and they have
:04:48. > :04:55.only come up with 89 million so far. A considerable shortfall. Why are
:04:56. > :04:58.the numbers spiking? It is partly because smugglers are getting more
:04:59. > :05:05.sophisticated and spread into places in Libya. Also, some of the Italian
:05:06. > :05:12.parties would say it is because the NGOs are acting as a taxi service.
:05:13. > :05:16.Because the station rescue boards outside Libyan waters and bought so
:05:17. > :05:20.immediately via to rescue migrants. So of course it is a much safer
:05:21. > :05:23.offer for smugglers, trying to convince migrants to make the
:05:24. > :05:28.crossing and more likely to survive. Emmanuel Macron's revolution
:05:29. > :05:32.of French politics continues. Now he wants to get the number
:05:33. > :05:35.of lawmakers by a third and introduce more proportional
:05:36. > :05:36.representation into He did all this in a dramatic
:05:37. > :05:43.setting. The president also says he intends
:05:44. > :05:49.to lift the state of emergency. That's been in place
:05:50. > :05:52.since late 2015. The speech was 90 minutes -
:05:53. > :06:02.here's some of it. TRANSLATION:
:06:03. > :06:06.Until now, too often, we have taken the wrong path and procedures have
:06:07. > :06:12.taken precedence over results, rules over initiative, living off the
:06:13. > :06:15.public purse over fairness. I think by their recent choices our people
:06:16. > :06:20.are asking to follow a radically new path. I refuse to choose between
:06:21. > :06:24.ambition and dispirited justice. I refuse to give up excellence to
:06:25. > :06:29.create equality or give up the idea that everyone must have to play to
:06:30. > :06:33.succeed. This kind of speech is quite rare in friend politics.
:06:34. > :06:35.Not everyone is happy President Macron made one.
:06:36. > :06:41.This is the front page of Liberation,
:06:42. > :06:45.a centre left newspaper - it shows Mr Macron as Jupiter,
:06:46. > :06:47.king of the gods, and said the session in Versailles
:06:48. > :06:49.was the latest manifestation of the president's
:06:50. > :06:52.It's an accusation that's been levelled against him
:06:53. > :07:09.I have been talking about some of these issues with a friend 's Jono
:07:10. > :07:15.Ross, who has been watching this closely. He won a landslide majority
:07:16. > :07:18.in parliament and it is true that we are not used to seeing a French
:07:19. > :07:32.President actually making a State of the Union address like in the US.
:07:33. > :07:37.And first such a grand decor and he will be accused, rightly or wrongly,
:07:38. > :07:42.to be like a monarch. And as we know, the French president is the
:07:43. > :07:46.most powerful leader in the western world in terms of institutional
:07:47. > :07:51.powers given to him. Having said that, tomorrow, there will be
:07:52. > :07:54.another speech at the French parliament by the Prime Minister,
:07:55. > :08:02.because the Prime Minister is really the person who leads the Government.
:08:03. > :08:07.So, I think we will know more details as to what President Macron
:08:08. > :08:14.said today in front of both Houses of Parliament. Just a couple of
:08:15. > :08:18.other things I want to bring up. The guardians Paris bureau G says online
:08:19. > :08:25.the president focused on the international this week.
:08:26. > :08:33.Certainly some big challenges coming up. If you look at this foreign
:08:34. > :08:37.policy article, it says... What it is talking about his labour law
:08:38. > :08:43.reform. Agnes, you can help us out. What is Mr Macron trying to do with
:08:44. > :08:49.labour law? He is going to try and do what other presidents before him,
:08:50. > :08:52.and probably for the last 40 years, since I was born, tried to do and
:08:53. > :09:00.failed to do from the right or left. That is to say, to create some
:09:01. > :09:05.flexibility in labour laws in France, where you might know that
:09:06. > :09:12.workers are very much protected. And so he is going to hit the ground
:09:13. > :09:17.running. That is to say he has already started what is going to be
:09:18. > :09:22.60 meetings with trade unions until mid-July. And then there will be
:09:23. > :09:27.laws passed in Parliament, probably passed because he has a majority,
:09:28. > :09:33.saying that he can have Executive orders to reform profoundly the
:09:34. > :09:37.labour laws. But, of course, as with everything in France, the position
:09:38. > :09:42.does not only lie in parliament but also in the street. So the task for
:09:43. > :09:46.President Macron will come in the autumn, September, October,
:09:47. > :09:53.November, when I think there will be people from trade unions and the
:09:54. > :10:00.hard left and had right taking to the streets to fight their corner.
:10:01. > :10:05.-- hard right. We will see how astute President Macron is then.
:10:06. > :10:08.With regards to those unions, French unions are famous the world over for
:10:09. > :10:14.being tough negotiators. Have a signal that they want to work with
:10:15. > :10:19.the president? We have, but at the same time, they have already fixed a
:10:20. > :10:26.date for the first demonstration, September 12. So, here you are. It
:10:27. > :10:30.is strange, because as you say, French trade unions are famously
:10:31. > :10:37.known for being very theatrical and violence. On the other hand, only 8%
:10:38. > :10:42.of French workers belong to a union. They are extremely powerful in the
:10:43. > :10:45.public sector. Hence, the inability to paralyse the country. Thank you,
:10:46. > :10:48.Agnes. Qatar has given its response
:10:49. > :10:51.to the long list of demands I am sure you have followed the
:10:52. > :10:54.story. Saudi Arabia, Egypt,
:10:55. > :10:58.the United Arab Emirates, Yemen and Bahrain says
:10:59. > :11:00.Qatar must stop funding for extremist groups -
:11:01. > :11:06.something Qatar denies. Scaling back ties with Iran
:11:07. > :11:11.and closing Al Jazeera. And if it doesn't do that,
:11:12. > :11:13.a range of sanctions Its foreign minister
:11:14. > :11:37.has already said... The Qataris took their
:11:38. > :11:39.answer to Kuwait. Hanan Razek from BBC
:11:40. > :11:51.Arabic explains why. Kuwait was playing the middle man.
:11:52. > :11:59.The countries were asked last night to extend the ultimatum for 48
:12:00. > :12:02.hours, which they approved. Now the other ones who received the response
:12:03. > :12:07.from Qatar and they will handed other -- hand it over to the other
:12:08. > :12:09.four countries. The response, which we still don't know, will be the
:12:10. > :12:15.main focus of the meeting of the foreign ministers of the four
:12:16. > :12:21.countries on Wednesday in Cairo. So it is quite significant. Some people
:12:22. > :12:26.perceive it as a way of opening up for negotiations and the beginning
:12:27. > :12:30.of a solution. Have these countries indicated that they are willing to
:12:31. > :12:38.negotiate? The thing is that those countries insist on the 13 demands,
:12:39. > :12:47.which Intel things like scaling down ties with Iran, cutting ties with
:12:48. > :12:49.some groups countries considered terrorists, like the Muslim
:12:50. > :12:56.Brotherhood, and shutting down Qatari funded media like Al Jazeera
:12:57. > :12:59.network. They say that they are not negotiable. On the other hand, you
:13:00. > :13:06.have the Qatari Foreign Minister saying that those demands are meant
:13:07. > :13:15.to be rejected. We see that both sides at existing -- are insisting
:13:16. > :13:23.on their position. This may be the start of a negotiation process. No
:13:24. > :13:29.Qatar will submit to the whole 13 demands of some of them, that
:13:30. > :13:32.remains to be seen. We already have diplomatic and economic sanctions in
:13:33. > :13:39.place against Qatar. Does that have an influence right now? It does have
:13:40. > :13:51.an influence on Qatar, of course. It is basically the suspension of all
:13:52. > :13:59.transportation to and from Qatar. Only one area, the border, with
:14:00. > :14:02.Saudi, was open but this is now closed as well. It does have a
:14:03. > :14:07.definite impact. How long can Qatari go on in the same position as it is
:14:08. > :14:12.right now? I think that is a question. This is not the first time
:14:13. > :14:20.a stand-off like this has happened. The scale is higher than ever before
:14:21. > :14:27.but in 2014 we saw similar concerns from some of Qatar's neighbours over
:14:28. > :14:34.policy. It took nine months to bring the ties back to what it was before.
:14:35. > :14:35.It seems like this time it was definitely bigger and it might take
:14:36. > :14:47.longer. Thanks for that. In a few minutes, we will have a
:14:48. > :14:54.report from Manipur in India, an area affected by extra judicial

:15:26. > :15:31.Over decades, too many children failed by too many people.

:17:17. > :17:19.at the end of this week - that's ahead of schedule.
:17:20. > :17:21.The reason for the hype is that it costs $35,000 -

:17:33. > :17:34.Another big move into the mainstream for electric cars.
:17:35. > :17:43.This is a major play from Tesla to make itself a mass-market producer?
:17:44. > :17:49.Exactly. This is very much a height version of its Tesla electric
:17:50. > :17:53.vehicles. -- hyped. It was just a few years ago that people could put
:17:54. > :18:03.down a $1000 refund double deposit to get their hands on the Model
:18:04. > :18:09.three. They were overwhelmed with interest. $35,000. If you buy it
:18:10. > :18:13.here in the US, you get a credit because it is an allegory vehicle
:18:14. > :18:16.and the price tag comes to $20,000. It is set in a very affordable,
:18:17. > :18:25.especially compared to some of the other models and SUVs. The downside
:18:26. > :18:33.is that Tesla does not have any experience in mass producing cars.
:18:34. > :18:37.If you look at the Model X, it was 18 months behind in terms of
:18:38. > :18:40.production. There are worries about whether or not they can make enough
:18:41. > :18:44.of those cars to meet the demand. When it comes to where you charge
:18:45. > :18:48.your cars, there are not all that many charging stations. And while
:18:49. > :18:51.Tesla says it will create more, current Tesla owners are worried
:18:52. > :18:55.that there is going to be a lot more competition for fewer charging
:18:56. > :18:59.spaces and even more competition for trying to get your car serviced.
:19:00. > :19:04.Interesting. Let's keep an eye on that. Thank you very much. The
