00:00 Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Maloney is hosting a right-wing festival in Rome with
00:04 immigration high on her agenda.
00:07 Italy is trying to get Albania to take in most of its migrants and have any asylum applications
00:12 they make processed there.
00:15 Albanian President Eddie Rama has cautioned that it won`t stop migration from Africa to
00:19 Europe, however.
00:21 Whilst Maloney wants migrants processed in Albania, the U.K.`s Prime Minister, Rishi
00:26 Sunak, wants them processed much further away in Rwanda.
00:30 Sunak has claimed that migrants could overwhelm countries such as Italy and the U.K.
00:36 And the U.S. billionaire Elon Musk also had an anti-migration message for the festival.
00:42 He said immigration cannot solve the demographic problem that many major economic powers such
00:47 as Italy and Japan are facing.
00:49 The answer, he said, is for families to have more children.
00:53 And to drive home his point, he carried one of his sons onto the stage.
