so many people have gone to jail as a result of my work rewind on al-jazeera. al-jazeera . hello i'm barbara sarah this is the news hour live from london thank you for joining us coming up in the next sixty minutes and then there were three south korea's leader may now be joining the much anticipated summit between donald trump and kim jong il in the. political chaos in italy as a new caretaker prime minister is chosen after a baby by two populist parties to form a government collapsed a refugee hailed as a hero after saving a child of the angling from a balcony is rewarded rewarded by being granted french citizenship.
9:01 pm
i'm tatiana sanchez with all of the day's sport including the plan a year after finishing runaround her friend the new rock bottom of the country. intense diplomatic activity is raising expectations that a planned summit between u.s. president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un may still go ahead and the bilateral talks could become trilateral with the south korean president one j you now also joining in a u.s. delegation is in north korea while a team from pyongyang is heading to singapore where the historic meeting is set to take place andrew thomas says more from seoul. what a difference one frenetic weekend can make and now looks like it's full steam ahead for a summit in singapore on june twelfth as originally planned has been the u.s. delegation inside north korea on monday led by song kim south korean born but the
9:02 pm
u.s. ambassador to the philippines he's been ambassador here in seoul in the past though he was very much involved in the six nation talks that took place while president bush was in office later president obama he knows the issue backwards he's been meeting with north korea's a vice foreign minister chase on he again fluent english speaker she knows this issue backwards from a north korean point of view meanwhile in singapore over the coming days they'll be u.s. delegation and a north korean delegation meeting to discuss the logistics security arrangements protocol that's all happening simle tiny asleep and if there is a summits on june the twelfth will president moon of south korea be there the blue house the presidential palace here in seoul said that though we're working on plans for president moon to be in singapore probably not the beginning of the bilateral but it goes well between president trump and kim jong un if indeed it happens and president moon montjoy in at
9:03 pm
a later stage possibly minutes hours later but in singapore as well has been crucial to getting the other two leaders together and he would like a seat at the table or a white house correspondent kimberly halkett is live from washington d.c. circuit really where do things stand in terms of where we are with this proposed orloff summit assuming it ever happens. right well there is a wide expectation gap in terms of the discussion and how it might proceed because there are different understandings of what the word denuclearize ation means for the united states it means immediate it means verifiable it means permanent means irreversible but for the north koreans there is the hope that this would be somewhat incremental we're told even with some financial incentives attached so as a result when we talk about these diplomats in this intense negotiation back and forth it's not just about trying to make this happen on a specific date but if it happens on june twelfth as was originally scheduled that
9:04 pm
it be productive and the concern on both sides is there's no point having these discussions if the two sides are so for far apart that nothing can be accomplished so that is what is going on back and forth we're told on monday as well as into tuesday the other issue that is of concern is the particularly from the north korean standpoint is the issue of security donald trump has said repeatedly that he personally is offering a security guarantee to the north korean korean leader kim jong un as a result of concerns made by don terms on staff the national security adviser john bolton and also his vice president mike pence when they talked about that libyan model of denuclearization which obviously did not end up well for the moammar gadhafi the libyan leader ended in his overthrow and ultimately his death so these are some of the issues the diplomats are working on in addition to the logistics of
9:05 pm
just making this summit happen if it is finally agreed to go ahead can really help with the latest on that story from washington kimberly think. it's crazy now with the president has appointed an interim prime minister after weeks of talks failed to produce a government and sparked a political crisis got a look at that i live who is a former international monetary fund official has been tasked with passing the country's budget and planning fresh elections this all comes after the president said about that i love vetoed the choice of a euro skeptic politician as economy minister angering the two populist parties who wanted to form a coalition government john holl has more. political convulsions in italy beat the new prime minister designate not a political figure but a former international monetary fund official. that the government will maintain its neutrality with respect to the electoral
9:06 pm
debates and. must now come up with a workable list of ministers but he's unlikely to survive a confidence vote in a parliament stacked against him so the new government will likely become a lame duck interim government until fresh elections in the autumn on the weekend president sergio rejected the euro skeptic finance minister proposed by the five star movement northern league coalition dashing their hopes of becoming europe's first far right populist government. last night with the darkest hour in italy's democracy president chose to ignore his constitutional prerogatives and prevent from power political force the five star movement which received eleven million votes they've been calls for mass protests and the president's impeachment as head of state the latter seems constitutionally unlikely but it's another turn that sets the scene for a potentially ugly standoff we are going to see throughout the next three months is
9:07 pm
the overarching the people versus the. establishment that with the head of state for the first time becoming the main target of the entire campaign there's also the economy to worry about italy's cost of borrowing is rising with the political uncertainty if the country's sky high debt were to become unserviceable then real crisis would arrive in the euro zone's third largest economy add to that a debate that will only grow louder perhaps angrier now about italy's membership of the eurozone as the nationalist northern league and ante a stab. five star movement vie for an even bigger slice of the next electoral part i. really did his best to calm the waters if you will. in the past few days tensions have increased on the financial markets you know that the spread has increased but. still growing and the budget remains under control i can
9:08 pm
assure you that a government. will guarantee a prudent. public accounts. in italy political instability is a fact of life so they'll be little surprise about these twists and turns but no less anxiety over the outcome. going to bring you more on that story a little later in the program but now let's go to syria where the government says they will continue fighting rebels despite u.s. warnings against a possible offensive province there are is a southern province mostly controlled by opposition and it's close to the volatile area of the golan heights the u.s. comments come as a warns it will not tolerate a permanent military presence in syria while russia emphasize that support for the syrian government. from. the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov saying
9:09 pm
that the syrian army should be the only force. making clear its position as we. continue between international and regional players to find. arrangements for the future of provinces in. syria. the syrian government. government. saying that they have been sending troops to the front lines dropping leaflets from government helicopters. making clear that next target but different from other areas because there are international players involved the united states israel jordan because of its strategic location jordan and israel for example they want to see. troops on their
9:10 pm
border so if there is any arrangement or any deal that it will definitely not involved. in any battle but we understand is what they're trying to. decide to lay down their arms and surrender those who want to leave to the rebel controlled problems in the northwest will be able. to do so but state authority will return to this area jordan doesn't want to see any escalation as well because it will create a refugee crisis it also wants to open its border crossing there which is really vital for trade so ongoing international and regional negotiations behind the scenes to try to find a solution to this corner of syria what to do in this corner of syria to avoid a military military conflict that could bring in regional powers let's go back to one of our lead stories now and that is the instability in italy where the president has appointed
9:11 pm
a new interim prime minister after weeks of talks failed and the two parties that won the most votes. are the five star movement and. we're going to form a government and now they are no longer able to do so we can speak to low density he's a member of parliament for the five star movement that's one of the two parties that was going to form a coalition and he joins us live now from a row mr finn a multi thank you so much for joining us here on out there and just to give a bit more detail the reason that the president of the republic. vetoed the one of the ministers that was proposed by the potential coalition government was because he was the economy minister and he was explicitly in support of leaving the euro certainly he had mentioned that as a plan b. leaving the euro was acceptable and the president said that because that wasn't one of the issues that had come up in the election for either party that it wasn't right to have him as an economy minister i mean what do you make of that
9:12 pm
explanation and if the two parties do want to talk about leaving the euro shouldn't they talk about that before the election and not when they're trying to form a coalition after. well this is not really the reason why i did it miss the civilian of the person that was indicated as a minister of finance is an academic and he spoke about the euro and he had criticisms of this of the year or years ago so we are referring to opinions that were manifested in books and conferences there was no indication he said it clearly that he had no intention as a minister of leaving the euro and the parties that formed a coalition and put it clearly in the statements and in the contract that there was no intention whatsoever to leave the euro the decision taken by the president of the republic is quite per doc sickle in many different ways he said clearly that his intention was to protect italy and the financial markets but today because of the decision we have some of the in the markets are up in arms and there's a lot of volatility in the economy and also he said he wanted to clear to create
9:13 pm
more stability but we're going to have elections again and the result of the elections will be more or less the same if not worse in that regard because the parties that were trying to form a coalition will get more and more support so we don't really understand what is the political rationale of that decision well again he did emphasize in his speech that it was about the year and that also he had pitched another potential name as a finance minister a man that was actually part of. party which is the other part of the your party would be in a coalition with so i guess a lot of people would think that the euro and potentially leaving the euro is a big issue for the five star movement and the legacy speaking for your own party i mean can you guarantee that it's not a main issue for the five star movement to eventually leave the euro. but this is exactly the point we have said it clearly during the electoral campaign in our electoral program and in the contract that we signed with the league that we have
9:14 pm
no intention to leave the euro we're going to be open rating within the european framework and our only intention has it's been the case in france and in other countries was super dissipate in the process of reforms of the european union level because we believe that the euro zone as it stands may requires some serious change and reform this is perfectly in line with what is being discussed at present in the european institutions we don't understand the suspicion visit us and we don't understand a suspicion visit the ministers that we had indicated so i'm really in a many italians at this point resent the president of the republican because the believe that somehow this was an excuse just not to let two parties that are fully endorsed by millions and millions of voters especially defy start a movement which is a popular party with this significant backing among mostly the poor people in this country not to give them a chance to form a government and you mean you're now
9:15 pm
a member of parliament of the five star movement you're also professor of political economy at the university of pretoria you have written for international publications like the f.t. the new york times the guardian so you obviously more than most of your colleagues in italy have an eye out to the rest of the world can you understand why there is so much skepticism and i guess insecurity around a brown the emergence of the five star movement which is always described as a populist and often unpredictable party. well i think it comes from partly lack of knowledge of what the five star wants to achieve and also the origins of this movement that came out a few years ago mostly through the activity of a comedian and it's become a fully mature and extremely committed political movement we have been working hard over the past year also myself by speaking to different governments going around in europe telling the european counterparts that we intend to work with them to reform
9:16 pm
the euro to make the euro zone stronger than it is at present to make it to make sure that the european union as it is in the euro zone improves to shit to ensure that old the systemic crisis we're facing are resolved once and for all without without this patchwork approach that has been the case since two thousand and eight financial crisis people with my credibility have. with equivalence economists in france in germany india k. in the european countries as well as in the european commission to assure that this connection is strong and it's perceived as positive president mcraney received kind of corresponded with us last week by calling our the person that was indicated as our premier professor and wishing him old the best in the formation of this government so i think here this is a serious problem with misperception of the lack of dialogue and i think the president of the republic rather dan increasing that mutual understanding as
9:17 pm
somehow damaged it that insufficient member of the five star movement the party the got the most number of votes in the most recent election sir thank you so much for sharing your views with us. well still to come here on al-jazeera the deadly virus spread by bats it's claimed more than a dozen lives in india but it's also led to a major drop in fruit sales will tell you why brazil's striking truckers are told to end their strike action as the government offers them a deal on the price of diesel and back in the big time dominant display from the bron james as he leads this team to get another n.b.a. final we're we've got the action and reaction may transport. but first twelve soldiers from saudi arabia have been killed in yemen during
