this is the w.'s lie from above and that's a nice way for a new prime minister just towards an end the country's populist coalition has nominated you something content i mean a new government could be sworn in as early as this week we'll bring you the latest from russia. plus washington lays out its tough and you line on iraq. know what gratian arraigning kleptocrats no more acceptance of missiles landing in riyadh in the golan heights no more cause for expansion arena and powell secretary of state

mike pompei o. went on to say that the us would impose its toughest sanctions yet on iran. i'm going to russia faces a new doping investigation with less than four weeks until the football world cup german journalists say suspicious test results of a russian squad members were covered up. i'm filled and welcome to the program. at least populist coalition has chosen giuseppe contacts as its pick for prime minister he is a law professor with no political experience the leader of the far left and he stops one to five star movement to luigi demaio to his party on the far right link had proposed the top candidates during a meeting with president said joe matter that the announcement comes eleven weeks after elections left the country when i hung parliament. so let's join the cause

one to band ringgit who's covering this story for us from rome welcome bet so a filler said that who has just come to a what is it about him that means he can unite a far right and left party behind him. mr counter's main feature is he's unknown to the public and he has no put it really political experience so he's divide a compromise between the left leaning. the right wing populist league because he would not interfere with their put it to. haggling and mingling so he is a law professor these educated the united states and france he worked in great britain so he traveled a lot he has seen the world but italy he's relatively unknown the never held public office. nobody knows exactly why he agreed to take this job he hasn't had

a public yet and still you'd need confirmation by the president of italy is the middle rela and also the parliament has to vote a vote of confidence is scheduled for the end of the week and our president and parliament likely to vote for a prime minister with no political experience who will not get involved in politics . the populist coalition has a huge majority in the parlor. so there's no question that he will get the votes there and also the italian public is supporting this odd couple of legal chain cristela sixty percent of the people behind this coalition says a recent poll so sad your mouth that out of the president has no choice but to agree if he would not then the constitutional crisis would ensue and he would not risk that although he is part of the old establishment he says shows

a social democrat. so if we understand your house this correctly it's only is about to choose for as its prime minister an unknown with no background in in politics who will not interfere in the political process and yet he's going to lead a coalition of two extreme opposite. yes he has a hard job that is hands now because he also has to read in negotiating with the european union all the contracts and all the treaties that's in the party program in the coalition program he has to find the money. to finance all those social welfare for example luigi ma has promised he also has to prove to push through with the push back of my migrants this is what the league are not ones so here's a here's a lot of things on his plate now and nobody knows if he is able to do that and he needs of course the backing of both. vini they will be in the cabinet they

be ministers there and will of course try to you know to have mr count as a puppet on a string bearing it in a row thank you so much. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world but run days and actual commission as results from last week's referendum show that voters have approved extending the presidential term limits with seventy three percent voting in favor of the constitutional amendments the changes could mean that. president in currencies that stays in office until twenty thirty four opposition groups and activists have challenge the vote saying it took place in a climate of fear and intimidation part of why has opened its israeli embassy in jerusalem the second country to do so after the united states country's president carter has attended the inauguration ceremony with israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu and the u.s.

unprecedented financial pressure on the iranian regime the leaders in tehran will have no doubt about our seriousness the iranian regime should know that this is just the beginning is staying up sanctions will be painful the regime does not change its course from the unacceptable and unproductive doubt that is chosen to one rejoins league of nations these will indeed end up being the strongest engines in history when we are completely. w.'s washington bureau chief use of example of. an exam to tell us more about the us is twelve demands. the twelve demands outlined by my point here did not come as a surprise because although these issues are very important for the trump administration the u.s. is calling on iran to stop the end richmond of uranium that was actually allowed under strict limitations and the previous nuclear deal is calling on iran to allow

nuclear unqualified access to all sides throughout the country it is calling on the iran through lease u.s. citizens held in the country my computer also said stetson iran must stop its activities in the region in yemen in afghanistan in live and on and that iran has to restore its troops from syria and that is indeed something that. the us is very concerned about and that was not addressed by the previous nuclear iran deal she when you look through this list it does seem to amount to a change of regime i don't think us really expect iran to comply or is it hoping that it doesn't. well the u.s. government says that it is the right strategy to convince iran to comply with these demands pointing to their maximum pressure pain against

north korea saying this look at the success now we are talking about a possible meeting between kean and strum something that was almost impossible to think of only if he go so they are pointing to this success in the case of north korea however we have to say that it's really a different situation right now because when they talk about north korea we have to say that in this case the u.s. has the support of its allies that's not the case when it comes to the pull to pulling out of the new chlor deal with iran and we have seen already some reactions from iran iranian officials quoted by the news agency and they are indeed saying that that state think that the u.s. is aiming at and they run regime change in iran so that it is unlikely that iran iran regime is going to comply with the u.s. demands might deliver this speech in washington while g.

twenty foreign ministers were meeting in whether senators should we read anything into his absence from argentina. well we'll we are asked the state department's what was the thinking behind that and the state department official told us. secretary of state sullivan has the full support of mike pompeo to take part in this meeting instead of him and that this meeting for mines premier plays to force or international cooperation but it is of course very telling that mike pompeo chose to stay in washington d.c. to deliver these this speech and it's very telling because it implies that he was not only talking to u.s. allies and iran but also to he still nestico audience alexander for normal in
