zero. and i know that. this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes a caretaker prime minister is appointed to head a technocrat government in italy but the country's political crisis deepens. south korea's president in may join donald trump and kim jong un if the u.s. and north korean leaders finally arrange a summit. and the hero they're calling a spider man in france a refugee from mali who climbed a building to save a child dangling from a balcony is awarded citizenship. and

a criminal investigation is underway in sri lanka after al jazeera is reporting on suspected match fixing in international cricket. but at least president has appointed an interim prime minister to head a technocrat government kahlo quarterly a former i.m.f. official has been tossed with the job his appointment comes off to the president's veto darrelle the efforts by two populist parties to form a coalition government try to haul has more. political convulsions in italy meet the new prime minister designate not a political figure but a former international monetary fund official. i must underline that the government will maintain a neutrality a total neutrality with respect to the electoral debate. 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 was 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 a nasty turn that sets the scene for a potentially ugly standoff we are going to see throughout the next three. years

and 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 for an even bigger slice of the next electoral. carlow culture really did his best to calm the waters. in the past few days tensions have increased on the financial markets you know that the spread has increased but the italian economy is still growing and the budget remains under

control i can 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. well reaction to the appointment of carter early as interim prime minister has been mixed on the streets of the capital wrong. the situation is complicated i don't know what the best scenario is but let's hope for the best and that carlo carli really will be able to lead us to new elections. i think italians had expressed themselves during the election and what has happened now seems to be cancelling that expression so even if i don't really know this. we are left with a bitter taste here. that earlier we spoke to laurence kotlikoff a professor of economics at boston university he says that it's really needs

a decisive government. italy has gone with demagogues in the past. go back to recently where scone first corny people that out you know clear out positive direction but are trying to energize the masses we've no clear again new direction so it raises the concern about italy chalion policy that made some progress in recent years it's been very slow growth has been very slow employment has come down from about fourteen percent to twenty fourteen down to about eleven percent today but many people who are especially young people are still employed so i understand the frustration but the way forward is not to be too boring yourself from the rest of the of your trading partners to kind of rise isolate yourself it's not to eliminate the your move away from the euro stable

currency and restart the lira and then that with placing which is really the result and and to follow the government debt so you need to have it's one thing to change governments and it's another thing that. jews governments that actually know have some idea what they want to do in a way that's actually going to fix things and so i applaud the president of italy's decision to give italy a breathing space to understand the implications of what it's trying to do here to really sort out the direction of policy reform it's going to be similar to things that have been successful in other countries there's quite a difference exist or is it we are just as a follow switzerland or sweden or denmark or the netherlands or you know because there's plenty of examples. u.s. president donald trump says he will meet japan's promise sessions a day ahead of his high stakes summit with north korea's

a decade john but if the later. moved in a flurry of diplomatic maneuvers surrounding the possible kim trump meeting which was canceled but now may be back on south korea's president when jay in could also have a seat at the table let's cross over now to seoul and speak to andrew thomas was live for us there so andrew president trump didn't really officially reinstate this summit but it looks like it's on. all the signs are certainly that it's on the preparations are well underway the u.s. team in singapore now meeting their north korean counterparts to talk about the logistics of any meeting security arrangement protocol that sort of thing meanwhile in pummeled john just over the north korean side of the border with south korea a u.s. team is there now meeting then north korean counterparts to talk about the items on the agenda and some of the sticky issues like what is denuclearization can the u.s. and north korea agree on that because it's all very well for north korea to say that it's committed to the nuclear eyes ation it's all very well for the u.s.

to demand that of north korea but unless they mean the same thing it doesn't mean very much and we know for example that north korea think that the nuclearize ation means mutual disarmament they want the u.s. to withdraw some of its troops and weaponry from this part of the world the u.s. wants unilateral disarmament by north korea the u.s. also wants north korea to get up all its nuclear weapons it's possible though that north korea might be prepared to give up its intercontinental ballistic missiles the one that could hit the united states but not its medium range ones that could hit japan for example so nothing out some of these issues before the two leaders meet in person is important and establishing a timeline as well a denuclearization goal is one thing but it's very vague sticking a timeline to be something altogether different we saw about an hour ago the u.s. delegation led by a song kim a former ambassador here in south korea he's also been very involved in the nuclear talks for well years if not decades he knows them backwards he was spotted leaving

his hotel here in seoul presumably on route to more talks on the north korean side of the border about an hour from here for those talks we think of going on on tuesday and simple changes to that would have just extols going on in singapore as well ok and just talk us through this meeting that donald trump is going to be having with japan's they dishes are they. well there's a g. seven summit in canada on the eighth of june and we think that it's likely that trump will meet on the sidelines of that summit is possible they might stop by washington on the way they're on the way back equally it's possible are they might go to singapore and try and get a word in trying to see it immediately before he goes into the room with kim jong un you can understand the concern to be involved in this this profoundly affects him the u.s. security umbrella for japan in this part of the world is very very important and what i refer to there about potential of kim jong un saying he'll give up long range missiles but not medium range missiles will don't trump might be happy with such an outcome shinzo all they wouldn't be and there are others of course that

want to be involved in the talks in some way we know that president moon wants to be in singapore he'd like to be in some talks that might take place shortly after the bilateral we also know that same singapore and prime minister would like to meet both trump and kim jong il after all they are probably to meet in his country in singapore so lots of people all wanting to get into certainly donald trump before he walked into the room with kim jong un but we have to put a huge caveat on everything right now as far as donald trump has told us officially the summit is off even if all the signs are that actually it's been reinstated and it's on how did the south korean officials fail about all of this. well president moon has been absolutely integral to getting don't trump and kim jong un together he has become essentially kim jong un's best diplomatic friend i mean we saw those amazing pictures on saturday of the two leaders of the two koreas

hugging at the end of their surprise summit so he's astonished very quickly what on the surface of any right looks like a good working relationship with kim jong il and of course he's had a constant relationship with donald trump as well and it was him that told donald trump back in march i think that kim jong un was prepared to meet or at least his people that it's a president who has been absolutely key to getting it together and he really really wants to be involved of course he's not the only player here there are many many people who want to get involved and he has sort of muscle his wife right under thomas life for us in seoul thank you and to our head in the news hour including. chaos and scarcity across brazil as a truck to strike and to its second week. and egypt's detains journalists and activists before unpopular economic measures are to be announced. and a two time wimbledon champion tops it out in the opening round of the french open

tachyon i will be here with all the sports. now eleven for what members of the fog rebel group have been fighting a killed in fighting with the army in southern colombia the defense minister says they were threatening politicians entrepreneurs and civilians in the car crash region the operation comes a day off of the first round of colombia's presidential election congress peace deal with far has been one of the main issues in the campaign. this demonstrates our renewed ability to dismantle this residual group that has brought so much pain to this area of colombia we are continuing operations in the area wellcome bands will be voting in the presidential runoff in three weeks and the choice is between a critic of the government's historic peace still with rebels and

a former congressman who supports the agreement in america at a tourist in yemen has more details on this. you're going to humanise and his wife struggle to make a living selling orange juice they're among the millions of colombians who voted for. the first left wing presidential candidate with a serious chance of winning. i voted for gustavo petro because i'm tired of the old political class that doesn't care about the poor it's time that the working class gets a chance at a decent life. the former mayor of the capital who was once in in one thousand urban guerrilla has tapped into massive discontent with the political establishment he is seen as a champion of the poor and the marginalized but high macassar warns that pedro who is close to venezuela's hugo chavez is a wolf in sheep's clothing. must be clear petro is a populist disguising as a leftist populism can also be disguised as a center or right wing but in the end it's a strategy to get power and to not let it go. on the opposite extreme of the

ideological divide is evander seen as a younger version of his mentor conservative former president. he represents the status quo and those opposed to historic peace deal signed with park rebels. inexperienced but charismatic at this rally he comforted a woman whose missing mother was kidnapped by far rebels ten years ago promising to see that justice is done. the showdown between the two candidates will undoubtedly impact a still fragile peace agreement that ended more than fifty years of armed conflict with the fark better and they have less than three weeks to win over colombians who voted for other more moderate candidates in the first round but many people tell us that they would rather cast a blank ballot rather than vote for a president they don't want. and that gives dougie who won the most votes a decided advantage through is wasting no time trying to assure colombians he won't

take from the rich to give to the poor rather that he will make the poor rich or at least middle class if he can defeat the fear factor he might stand a chance to see in human out a cedar. spring to burn out of prayer salazar years of research or of armed conflict and peace process that the catholic university of columbia are not thank you very much steve for being with us what do you make of these latest developments. that evening well certainly there's a clear message from the government great the day after the first round of elections to deliver such a lethal blow against the group which has not been clearly identified as a renegade part and they have been identified as being. doing. extortion threats but it's not very clear. what

their identity is they may be part but it's not clear to that since it was a lethal blow you don't know if that was a military operation or a land that was a ration but that certainly puts a high. bar for other rethink the groups who are acting in the territory doing things so it such as extorting business and government ok i know that can have firsthand experience of dealing with land as a range of different things this explain to us maybe some of the different factions within the fuck up. well. usually you will find that when you have peace processes you have. those and high level

commanders who have political aspirations and then you have the middle. level officers that have not had that. political. upgrading and they are more interested in making sure that they can have access to the goods to those sources of income that have helped keep up keep an army through the decades so there is a constant tension between these two levels and of course today there are about one thousand renegades that have decided not to. agree to that the mobilization and are operating on the ground and many of them are trying to make a living based on the revenues that they used during the war ok now i know that you

have said that there is no confirmation as to whether these individuals are belong to the far group but it also seems as if there are two different realities on the ground at the moment when it comes to the political side of things also the fighting as well where do you see things going in time for the next round of elections well. yes certainly. the peace process has been a major issue in the campaign and i think that. what is at stake is who will bear the costs of a peace process. took a stance for those who consider that the costs should be borne exclusively by the government and. other candidates who have been the expert on the towards segment consider that there should be a more balanced. burden of the cost of these horses

and one of the major issues there is precisely how much information will be officially uncovered regarding the responsibilities of elites and politicians in many of. my lay sions and in factions and atrocities that were committed during the conflict so. what we're seeing right now is a very strong reaction by. the reactionary right wing in to avoid that such a scenario comes to be. and we'll see what happens there is. a constitutionally floor in which it has enshrined these commitments to the truth and to justice concerning these atrocities and and that have committed

budget for twenty years so we'll see what happens i had a passport as a thank you so much time thank you. now on to nicaragua where there have been more protests against the president. but as violence began as a group of students trying to take over a university in the capital but not clashes followed when government supporters tried to stop them and then anti-government demonstrations also broke out in the city of. and then brazil's government says it has reached an agreement with the main truckers union to end a day strike feelin some food items in short supply as many drivers continue to protest the national has more details from sao paulo. in brazil yet they're saying they've reached agreement on the protest but brasilia is a long way from here a most of the rest of brazil. at least truck drivers tens of thousands of them have

received the message. we are not only here for the truck drivers but for all brazilians who are suffering with the rises in electricity water gas everything brazilians have to work just to survive we are not members of any political party we are the people who are suffering the most. the same the rise in the price of diesel makes it hard for them to earn a living and tempers afraid and this used to be a strike now it's more than a strike brazil is realize that we can't keep going with these politicians who over the years we've seen involved in corruption bribery and scandals. the government has offered a ten percent reduction but can hardly afford the more than one of the costs a billion dollars will have to pay the state oil company petro brass in compensation was taken many here by surprise is just how quickly a country as well developed as brazil with the seventh largest economy in the world

can be brought to its knees with the economy fragile a weak government can only offer temporary partial solutions with everybody here now very well aware of how reliant we all are on the. the flow of fuel. protesting drivers have been blocking roads across brazil that means many gas stations have run out of fuel while those still have supplies attract lines of desperate motorists can stretch for several kilometers. not the economic recovery many experts said was happening. brazil's economy is not weak was weak is the political movement in this country we've got a former president arrested and now have a weak president in office he has no leadership or charisma and the increase in oil and gas prices is just added to the problems. even if all of brazil's truck drivers return to work immediately it would still take several days for the country to return to normal presidential elections. it would be

a normal the two fruitless tension and the threat of more strikes and protests. when there are just. to spain now where prime minister my own are hoyer said to face a no confidence vote after his ruling people's party was linked to a corruption scandal parliamentary vote on friday to decide whether socialist leader petro sanchez should take over has been under increasing pressure after a court ruled his party profited from an illegal scheme twenty nine people have been sentenced in the case including the party's for much treasure our only we spoke to john around one racine or he is the director of iberian studies program at stanford university and he told us that it's likely that sprint spain's prime minister will survive the vote. i think that nothing will happen on friday because the socialist party lacks the votes in congress to be able to directly.

needs a majority in the spanish congress one hundred seventy six deputies the socialists have only eighty four. while they watch which is the the another party is still not able to add sufficient deputies or in the center that is to become the majority and he'll be sure about twenty five votes and his position the way he's locked himself in within spain because of the cut and situation will prevent him from obtaining those shots so spain is now faced with continuing to have. their party in power a very clear and well known systemic corruption or risk having a party that could even go further if the struction of spanish democracy. and to yemen now where twelve soldiers from saudi arabia have been killed there this friend's a total number of saudi casualties to over a thousand according to its way dia saudi led coalition forces are now approaching

the rebel held city of data there are now twenty there are about twenty come to the way that the coalition is trying to retake the city from who is the rebels that the un is warning that any operation to seize what they would put at risk humanitarian shipments to yemen and the aid agencies struggling now to help the millions of desperate yemenis there as well how hawks to has more details. the conflict in yemen has been described as the world's forgotten war but three years after it began the violence shows no sign of ending saudi arabia which has been leading a coalition to fight hoofy rebels says more than a dozen of its soldiers have been killed bringing the total number of saudi casualties to over a thousand that's according to state media saudi arabia's military power is ranked twenty six in the world according to global firepower big yemen's terrain has made it difficult to get a foothold in this rugged region of hundreds of kilometers of mountains and valleys

has turned into an open battlefield near the northern who's the stronghold of saddam to some saudi soldiers and now openly talking of the anger and resentment of been neglected by all storage fees that you don't even know we live in fear we don't have enough food we look as if we are begging we didn't ask for millions or promotions we just need to pay out debts and get the services we deserve we need our salaries to send them to our families for them to be able to live i wish you would give us more attention saudi arabia's defense ministry is paying compensation to families of dead soldiers king salmon has not visited the front lines unlike his predecessor king abdullah who visited troops in two thousand and nine crown prince mohammed bin salman who's also a defense minister launched the latest operation in yemen in two thousand and fifteen who forces have suffered significant military losses local sources say tens of thousands of their fighters have been killed since the war started and who see

minister sergei lavrov saying that the syrian army should be the only force present at the southern border syria southern border russia making clear its position as well we understand behind the scenes negotiations continue between international and regional players to find some sort of an arrangement for the future of the provinces in the southern and southwestern syria. syrian government. the government they've been beating the drums of war saying that they have been sending troops to the front lines and dropping leaflets from government helicopters telling rebels to surrender so the syrian government making clear that that is their next target but that is different from other areas because there are international regional players involved the united states israel jordan because of its geo strategic location jordan and israel for example they both do

not want to see iranian troops or iranian troops on their borders so if there is any arrangement or any deal that it will definitely not involve iranian troops taking part in any battle but we understand is what they're trying to do is reach some sort of an arrangement whereby the rebels decide to lay down their arms and to surrender those who want to leave to the rebel controlled problems of it in the northwest will be able to do so but state authority will return to this area jordan doesn't want to see any ask. nation 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 him regional powers. several prominent journalists and activists have been detained in egypt in the past week

human rights groups say as part of a systematic government campaign to silence critics and as the tash a connex planes the arrests may be tied to the government's plans to lift fuel and electricity subsidies has them abdulaziz once campaign for president abdel fatah el-sisi but he since called support of sisi his biggest sin and has been vocal about his opposition on sunday he was arrested and we've seen a number of bloggers journalists and other prominent human rights defenders and civil society activists who were in the last years since the government of sisi has come to power have been brought in on charges or sometimes in pretrial detention without any charges. basically because they are critical of the government blogger well abbas was a longtime critic of the government and internationally recognized for his work he was detained last week in

a pre-dawn raid. this recent spate of arrests of bloggers journalists and opposition figures may be linked to a government measure that could anger many egyptians grappling with a weak economy and high inflation. the government fears the consequences of steps it plans to take in july part of the fuel and electricity subsidies will be lifted we have seen an embarrassing rehearsal when the government increased the metra tickets and people broke their fear and express their anger. reporters without borders calls egypt one of the world's biggest prisons for journalists at least thirty four are behind bars including al jazeera journalist mahmoud hussein. since sisi led the coalition that removed the democratically elected president mohamed morsy from power in two thousand and thirteen human rights groups say the government has waged a systematic campaign of crushing criticism one voice at

a time. supporters say tough security policies are needed to bring stability especially as the government fights armed groups in the sinai peninsula and journalists and bloggers know that this isn't difficult environment in egypt but nonetheless even today people are tweeting people will continue to speak out but with few independent media outlets left and many journalists and activists jailed people have no choice but to hear the government's message very clearly natasha going to zero. forty five hundred a peasant shoes are currently on display in brussels one for every life lost in this world a palestinian conflict in the last ten years they've been set up outside the building where in new foreign ministers have been discussing the recent violence people from across europe sent shoes to the campaigning group of us is calling on the e.u. to put sanctions on israel over the killings of an armed palestinian protest.
