easy to deal with no matter who is in charge but i do think that the use of the term libya and the repeated discussions about unilateral disarmament are very difficult kind of language to use before he even had the opportunity to sit down and meet for the first time and when you set that up as the a rich the initial goal i think it's even harder to get the north koreans to come to the table and i think what you saw was increasing north korean anger needing the u.s. to cancel the summit and so i think i mean i don't think that's especially surprising . it's got you got two sides who are both. disruptive type leaders and it's difficult to get too disruptive type leaders to get together when they have never met before and when they both practice a certain kind of diplomacy that is about sort of bombus them threats and it's hard to see how those two kinds of leaders can get to gather and peaceful some that kind

of fashion and what does china get out of all of this they are of course north korea's closest ally and the argument has been made that they they may have had a hand in this basically telling north koreans hold on a second here you need to take a tougher line on this and. the result is that they the argument again has been made that they have leverage now china has leverage now with the u.s. in their ongoing trade negotiations you would is there any truth to that you think . well i think the chinese are probably ok with the summit being canceled because they it was canceled for nothing to do with china and the chinese in this case were not the cause of the cancellation so they cannot be held accountable i don't think or anything the north koreans may or may not have done or anything that may result from the summit itself so in this case china i think is probably satisfied with the outcome they they did what they could to get the koreans to agree to go to a summit u.s.

call off the summit chinese probably feel like they've done what they can how does this impact their their trade dealings with the u.s. at the moment because that is another track and the u.s. knows that china. has has a lot of influence on north korea in their trade relations with them. now that it's a little bit more difficult i mean one of the reasons why you might argue the united states has been relatively nice or at least that's some interpretation of u.s. policy relatively nice to china especially around the c.t.e. . the this ancient united states wanted to propose to the seats to the west to get china's cooperation on all parts ahead this summit if the summit is not going to happen then the question is well how long is the united states going to continue to be nice to china if the summit gets postponed altogether or gets postponed to the fall are the americans going to continue to be pleasant to the chinese or do they

say never mind the north korean summit issue we now will pursue with all of them in bigger sections real one arguments that we've been having and imposed tariffs against the chinese go after them for ip intellectual property rights that go after c.t.e. as we had originally stated and so forth and if that happens then the chinese will be probably less happy that the summit was canceled than they are maybe to at this very moment and where does this leave the south koreans and all of their efforts at trying to get this whole mall between north and south and. between the united states and north korea. well i think the south koreans are clearly the probably the best i would say the most unhappy of them all i was in seoul last week with many of the. folks in the south korean government and the level of enthusiasm for this summit was how because from the highest leadership down to very junior people

really excited about the possibility of finally ending the threat of nuclear war right up there for her very enthusiastic about a different approach maybe this would be the one that solve problems and so to find out that not only is the summit cancelled but that the u.s. did so without even notifying the south koreans first i has got to be incredibly disappointing disheartening. anger provoking the south koreans have got to be saying to themselves what what else can we do ourselves to solve those how reliable a partner is the united states now that it puts them in a very awkward position good to speak with you deborah elms in singapore thank you thank you how is it's only puts the finishing touches on a new coalition government there's growing concern in the e.u. over its euro skeptic stance many of focusing on the prospects of europe's third largest economy at the hands of

a big spending government we'll talk more about that in just a moment but immigration was also a major issue lawrence lee has that. you can't live like this with any dignity but this roma community is forced to try the municipality stopped rubbish collection years ago so it's piled up everywhere as people try to sell scrap. it is barely running water so they have to improvise everything most are italian citizens and many work but they won't show their faces because they fear their employers would fire them if their identity is discovered. matteo salvini the leader of the far right league party routinely tweets that they are gypsy thieves and he will bulldoze the camps of course the roma people have seen all the messages and they are outraged because it is assault on them it is pure propaganda it's racism the word gypsy shouldn't be used at all he talks about bulldoze as if he

will be the one to come and clean up the camps he should be a politician he should do something else the threats are already attracting the attention of human rights advocates even before the new government is formed. these politicians don't realize what the situation is you can't expel italians the ones from the former yugoslavia are either here legally or they are stateless so no country would take them back. in the election here nearly one in five italians voted for the league party and so plainly it isn't difficult to convince angry disillusioned people that europe cares more about outsiders than ethnic italians of course whether or not they're serious about bulldozing these places and trying to deport european citizens there's a different question about the sort of language that's being used and its consequences in the new government mr salvini would be in charge of home affairs the police and immigration during the election campaign

a nigerian migrant savagely murdered an italian woman and salvini said this. an eighteen year old girl should not die cut into two pieces and put into a suitcase because of nigerian illegal migrant drug pusher was wandering around italy freely the next day a man draped in the italian flag shot several migrants in the east italian town of maturity. this is the would of course deny he is speaking for a fascist fringe but rather for millions of italian people angry that they've been left to deal with a massive immigration problem by themselves nor is italy the only country threatening mass deportations germany is currently trying to remove thirty thousand nigerians but there is no question that threats are parts of the new politics in italy. well joining us now from london is lynn graham taylor senior rate strategist with the netherlands based rob a bank thanks so much for being with us so this economic plan that the new italian

government has put forward involves sharply increasing spending repealing reforms of the labor and the pension market and in doing that directly violating the financial limits set by the european union for for countries using the euro are they really on a collision course now with europe yeah i think it's fair to say there's been a very hard line taken by the major political pros in employ of us in the league and it does look very much like you know they want to increase spending and that will put them on a collision course with fissures in brussels but is there if i can put it this way is there is there bark bigger than there bite is it just a lot of talk at this point i mean how how serious are they about this you know i think the jury is out on exactly the extent of their plans that they'll be able to implement there so for the next six month period you know perhaps that only go for

some of the more tokenistic elements of their manifesto of their sort of joint agreement but the fact is also there's quite a lot of strength behind their feelings about the stuff they do want to implement and almost regardless of what they do if the rhetoric stays up it's going to impact the bond markets so funding italian spreads are going to go on and certainly you know be biased to the upside on headline risk yeah i mean that's the that's the central point isn't it all comes down to how the markets. react to this and will that be the kind of deciding factor in all of this. i think it was certainly an important role in the background obviously a lot of the fact is the you know italy has a very high debt stock with and so it has to play on the minds of policymakers you know they might want to say in public that you know they're not going to be held hostage by the market but ultimately the funding cost of the state is a pretty important thing and so they have to bear that in mind and as you say it's

a. high debt at the moment but we're talking as well about europe's fourth largest economy here much much bigger than than greece which is now finally appearing to come out of its economic malaise after something like a year is what what implications is is does a country like italy have what ripple effect could that a hat that have across the block you know i think for the first time really over the last or six or seven years we've seen a gradual wind down and attenuation in the markets minds of existential questions about the future of the eurozone and i think those effectively you know get different the questions we're being asked are those of come back to the forefront of people's minds and once they've been thought again they can't be on thoughts and i think you you know you see you're going to see a bit of a there has been a structure structure of the higher level of peripheral yields even if there has been to some extent the correlation between you know the likes of spain and

portugal and italy and these thoughts can't be on thought and i think that that added premium is here to stay and what are the markets looking at as far as the new italian prime minister conti some something of a political novice is he equipped to handle all of this yeah i mean to be honest i think of the moment a lot of the focus is just on who exactly is going to be the finance minister that's almost seen as a more important role going forward is very much he was a very you know there was a pm he was very much a consensus choice and someone that they could both agree on but we might get much more of a steer on also. policies that are likely to be implemented and whole negotiation process with europe once we get exactly who the new finance minister will be in the government although actually all of the most talked about candidates are to some extent looking for quite hard line when it comes to negotiating with europe the deal they want for italy from the other members of the eurozone and just going back to those ambitious spending plans a big question that comes to mind is how they are they going to pay for all of this

. wilding and essentially they'll be some hope that it will be they'll be some high growth but it looks like you know that effectively i'll just be running a bigger budget deficit and hoping that you know obviously the hope amongst the the politicians implementing the policies as if each year into higher economic growth and some become self-sustaining from a from a budgetary perspective graham taylor thanks very much for being with us thank you still to come on counting the cost what's behind the rising price of oil and how is it affecting the global economy. powell is currently trading at a near three year high conflicts in the middle east and the twenty fifteen iran nuclear core breakup have pushed up the price because of potential global supply risks to add to this opec and its allied nations have been curbing output since the start of last year so how worried should consumers feel or is it now time to accept whatever the market dictates when joining us now from geneva is joe camel each yani

a professor at the graduate institute in geneva and the co-director of the executive master in oil and gas leadership course thanks very much for being with us so do you think first of all oil prices are set to go higher to perhaps one hundred dollars a barrel i don't know that they will go to one hundred dollars about what characterizes a situation today is that there really is not the ensure and in terms of physical quantities demand and supply are supplies sufficient to meet demand there is no reason in fundamentals so-called why the price should god as you said it's all potential it's expectations maybe we will have less oil in the future if there is sanctions stringent sanctions on iran which all the countries that do not agree with this actions will not be able to buy power or maybe there is going to be

an even worse crisis in venezuela but for the. there is none of that but saudi arabia and other opec nations want these prices to continue to go up they've been cutting supplies. in the hopes that that would happen so in appears that that strategy is working is continuing to work. yes it does sound has been talking prices are up. less soul in other countries even less so for example you know and the. minister of petroleum has said that the price should not increase much beyond sixty dollars per barrel saw opinions differ. surely demand has been increasing quite rapidly over the past few months over the past year we have had that had shown up one point seven million barrels per day to demand and so eventually supply also has to increase to meet this demand we

have to wait and see what the point of equilibrium will be and where does the u.s.'s shale oil fit into this because as these prices continue to go out does that increase the incentive for. u.s. producers to start pumping out shale oil again which is cheaper to do but absolutely they are doing this production is increasing its effect on global prices has not felt very much because of several especially transportation bottlenecks we have again a situation in which there is a large gap that has opened in between the so-called brant but ice which is a price for oil delivered in the north sea in w t r a which is the price for oil delivered in line and in in the united states or in oklahoma so this was opened again it's. seven dollars or more so there is

a significant difference to do to. the price of oil still to speak internationally and the price of oil in the united states indicating that there is abundant supply in the united states but once sufficient pipeline. is established to export more of us or this differential will tend to decrease in u.s. exports we learn of. dampening effect on global prices so what's all this going to mean then for consumers particularly for motorists prices at the pump looks set to go up and we've got the summer driving season coming up as well it's going to going to take a hit on people's pocketbooks isn't it yes exactly and what we need to see is what the reaction of consumers will be in the united states and elsewhere because there

is always. delusion i believe an impression which is wrong that consumers will not react that demand will not react to changes in prices even recently the saudi minister of it roland i said. to consumers can pay more well maybe they can be more about the question is whether they will be more if confronted with this increase in prices they may be very will react by reducing consumption and this is in again a factor that may dampen prices in the future so what's at stake here for saudi arabia and they've got this big aramco i.p.o. coming up the big state oil company sale they've got lots of ambitious and very expensive domestic projects and they've got to continue financing the ongoing war in yemen so they're going to do everything they can on dated to keep these prices

high while saudi arabia like all are producing cut this must. find a balancing point between the long term interests and short term interests in the short term clearly interesting having high prices because that improves that financial situation the. it's very normal but how prices may discourage demand we should not forget that people expect their man for oil globally to beak in the more or less near future this may be by two thousand and thirty or soon thereafter so the more you drive the price up the more it becomes. probable that consumers will react and that some demand will be destroyed it's this effect of demand destruction that must be looked at very carefully because if you push prices too high demand will be destroyed and so in the longer around you may be losing you come up with

vote counting is underway in ireland the exit polls suggest a win for the campaign to change abortion laws there u.s. president donald trump says a summit with north korea's leader could be back on track. a kenyan indigenous community celebrates a victory against the government but it's still waiting for justice and i'm far as well have all the day's sport including around madrid coach says cristiana rinaldo is ready to put on and now there are five star shot with a prayer face blipper pool in the champions league final. hello for the second time in less than twenty four hours the u.s. president donald trump has raised hopes that a meeting scheduled for next month with the north korean leader may actually happen trump canceled his summit with kim jong un. blaming it on what he called open

hostility from pyongyang but a day later he says he's having quote very productive talks with north korea on getting these talks back on track trump tweeted that the meeting could still still take place on june the twelfth or later in singapore now the prospects of a summit between trump and kim is a highly divisive issue in south korea while most people support better relations with the north conservative groups are firmly opposed rob mcbride reports. these protests by right wing groups have been a regular feature in seoul every saturday afternoon since the president they supported popular hey was forced out of office a year and a half ago and the protests have continued against the president who replaces moon j n n especially against his policy of engagement with north korea these are people who believe the north can never be trusted and that dialogue with north korea is

simply dangerous folly. as well as the korean flag and the other bandits you see here often in evidence in the stars and stripes these people believe the strong ally the united states provides the ultimate protection against north korea so the old again off again talks between trump and kim leaves many people here deeply conflicted. south korea and the u.s. are like one body because it might have all the north koreans are all law is and they use military force and don't respect human rights. dialogue just for the sake of dialogue won't do any good. presidential office the blue house now says that cautiously optimistic that the summit will go ahead in singapore and the majority of people in south korea would agree with them these people may be against it but opinion polls show around three. quilter's of south koreans support moon i just

policy of engagements. vote counting has begun in ireland after friday's referendum on relaxing laws on abortion exit polls suggest nearly seventy percent of people are in favor of repealing what's called the eighth amendment official results are expected on saturday afternoon the vote comes thirty five years after another referendum and shrine some of the world's toughest anti abortion laws into the constitution crossing over to leave barker he's joining us from dublin he's covering the story for us from their needs. as well counting is underway at some scientists up and down the country here in dublin the capital the tallying is over the counting is pretty much soon about to begin we should have a results here with the capital within a matter of hours the official result though won't be don't until

a bit later on in the day but we do have and only did come to some very strong exit polls in the national broadcast t.v. and the irish times as well the put the space at roughly seventy to thirty percent seventy percent yes for repealing the eighth amendment thirty percent though it's looking robots like this could be a landslide for the yes vote i'm joined now by unit my lovely was a key figure in the u.s. come play into is this the kind of result you were expecting but it's better obviously i mean i thought that it would cause i thought it would be in the high fifty's but this is an incredible incredible missiles that we see and in my own. village in the city center stony voter at those tallies from the polling station i vote in of ninety two percent yes we're seeing world areas all across the country yes we see places that are you're told are conservative or with out about is yes this is the seismic results reflecting. seismic shift in irish life that has

already happened and it's absolutely phenomenal and i think going to global contacts for women's reproductive rights cross the worlds that are being rolled by are you saying how do those we need our health care abortion is is necessary and health care that we need and so hopefully this will be a clarion call to the women's rights activists around the world that we're standing up for them as a country and want of course you think this means for the other side of the debate to think that the new saw age were displayed in their beliefs of course factoring in religious belief the impact of the catholic church of irish society how is it possible now to go forward to make the nation behind this folks the seem very much in your favor i mean i don't think there's a division to be quite honest i think that a lot of people who are very pro-life voting for repeal because things are not incompatible fortune is happening in our land anyway and it was happening eighty

with four shells was happening with irish women being exported to the u.k. up to a dozen a day to have abortions so i think what this is saying you know my own parents who are in the seventy's or copy it's more of our limbs who voted for the eighth amendment or conversation for the repeal of the eighth amendment so i think that there isn't a division i think we are united on this in terms of the no campaign itself i think they run an incredibly misguided campaign i think that was quite mean spirited and i think they return to people of the night you know what we're seeing across the country today stocks up cohorts of undecideds respond to the half size and it's it's overwhelming i just completed what emily thank you very much for your time there well as you said before a result will be announced a little bit later on in the afternoon but it does look very much like island is. very much a seismic change in a small history all right certainly bar for us there from dublin thank you. the

european union's chief negotiator for britain's with drole has warned the u.k. that the top court must have a say in the final brics a deal michel barnier says failure to do so would mean no treaty and no transition period after march twenty nineteen when bracks it is scheduled to become official he also warns the u.k. to be realistic about the impact of leaving the e.u. says bracks it will have negative consequences for the u.k. because it will not retain many elements of e.u. membership seven activists from the english speaking region a french majority cameroon have been jailed for acts of terrorism a journalist a man show big c. who organized demonstrations calling for more rights for english speakers is among those given ten to fifteen year sentences a separatist movement is gaining strength in the northwest and southwest regions that's where at least seventeen people have been killed in protests. indigenous

people forced to leave their forest home intending are still waiting to return despite winning a court case against their rejection a year ago the all gifted people won the right to remain in the mouse forest but the government hasn't helped them to return or pay the court ordered two million dollars in compensation nor have they apologised they all get say the government's wanted them out so illegal loggers could steal from their ancestral lands catherine sori joining us from the northwest of the capital nairobi what is the government doing to implement the court's decision. first off darren speak up to speak of what it must. have been talking about the rights of indigenous communities to the ancestral lands and i've been calling upon the government to quickly implemented. this ruling and we have been speaking to

a task force that was set up after the ruling. to study the ruling and to make recommendations on implementation and he told us that the government basically agrees with the ruling has accepted the ruling but there's a lot of complex issues as well that need to be addressed before this things are actually effected and also there's also the issue of balancing the conservation efforts and actually protecting the rights of indigenous communities like the old gag and i mean to a bigger picture just looking at the impact this court ruling has on. we are joined by. international. thank you very much and just to look at the bigger picture like i mentioned what is the impact of this court truly on africa on indigenous communities in this continent to have similar group insist and also larger communities who have historic grievances

and you know historical and injustices well that's a very very i'm going to tell you since the first time the african court ruled on the land and the first time you've been called root on a topic and. so a nurse said. it's important it's also more directly important for very small communities for you to find themselves. in distress people. i do have. customers. and very few of the.

only. movement community. is one of the. community property. thank you very much. and just looking at the other picture i mean we've been talking about conservation and conservation and also protecting the rights of this indigenous community the government for example has been saying the reason why the community was kicked out and other communities. kicked out. of the massive destruction that was and they said everybody. really.

it is for the forest to be destroyed the government kicked us out. and people like that to get into the forest so.
