a mass shooting at a texas high school these ten dead lawmakers hold a special session on gun violence but many in the gun loving state saying stricter controls are out of the question. and one of america's literary giants philip roth at the age of eighty five is works explored the tragedy and the comedy of the jewish american experience will take a look back at the wife of the pulitzer prize winning so. it's good to have you with us tonight in italy a political picture of certainty mixed with uncertainty today italy's president approved the appointment of. a little known lawyer and a political novice as the country's next prime minister was for. forward for the

posed by italy's two main populous parties the far right leader of the anti establishment five star movement in his acceptance speech a valid to former government of change but he said that he was aware that he needed to honor european and international commitments country promise to protect italians at home and abroad but if. the president has given me the mandate to form a government which i have accepted with reservation if i manage to form this government i will present to the palm and chambers a program that he's biased on the interests of the majority political bodies that. i'm preparing now to defend the interests of all italians in all places in europe and internationally in dialogue with the european institutions and with representatives of other countries. i will be the defense lawyer

of the italian people. are going to pull in our correspondent band now he joins us from the italian capital role good evening to you bear and so the president has said yes what happens now. but next week this contest to win a vote of confidence in both houses of parliament but that shouldn't be a problem because the movie when teaching crist and the protest party and also the right wing extremists from leg up promised to all denies this majority and then mr condit can start to work on the big long wish list of these two populous parties he will be the moderate face of this radical parties who want a tax reform who want to recondition a treaties with the european union who want to crack down on migrants and every populist dream you can dream of and we know that he is the populist party's pick

although he's a political novice and he is a man that many italians will tell you they've never heard of so i mean what more do we know about mr conte tonight. but he's a law professor in florence not many people even in the academic world know him. he was. a specialist for popping ministration and full bailing out failing companies maybe this gives him a little bit of experience to deal with italy but many experts are sure that the lifespan of his government did not so did not be so very long the sixty fifth government in seventy three years in that anybody since world war two so he has to fight a lot to stay in power more than a year yes it sounds like no change in all the change i mean what changes are italians likely to see in this new government. but italians have the

approach just let's wait and see what really happens was a lot of fighting in the complains that a lot of promises but italians also used to a petition is giving lots of promises and deliver nothing so they have a net a job waiting of course high expectancy. to have more economic grows to have a text break and stuff like that this is what italians want but they are not sure if they. actually see what was promised and it how them politics is a very very difficult game it used to be a shark tank and missed the point is just a little fish in that little fish and we know that a lot of leaders in brussels with the european union there are seeing purana in the water i mean what does this mean we've got the populace in power in italy what does this mean for the european you. that you are telling government has

actually the potential to inflict a crisis in europe when it comes to preserve the preservation of the euro as a currency five of the new finance minister supposedly is a euro skeptic or your foe you can say he wants to get rid of the euro and this will lead to too much fighting in europe and we will see if the markets tolerate that and if it will even be able to lend money to reasonable interest rates in the future if not then it can be very difficult you know to roll over debt to refinance that italy and it's these heavily indebted with of one hundred thirty two percent of its g.d.p. so there's a lot of anxiety in brussels right now yeah a lot of fear that this could be the next chapter in the euro crisis and bring it on the story for us tonight in rome veron thank you very much. well the five star

movement and the league both ran fiercely anti immigration campaigns and now foreigners in italy are starting to worry about their prospects under the new governor. who is learning italian through games like this one origin only from mali he comes to this school in eastern rome four times a week along with other migrants and refugees but that might change if the new italian government has its way. you know. students are definitely aware that something has changed here people are starting to give them strange looks or are they getting a first hand experience of the shift in italian politics. the head of the right wing populist league party. wants to push through a hardline anti immigrant agenda as italy's next interior minister he and coalition

partner luigi di maggio from the five star party want to deport half a million migrants as part of their agreement but experts say that might not succeed. they will try things but i don't think they will be able to do really effective things the common basis of these parties is these idea that they are both. parties. i do not expect. a very long longstanding cooperation after months of uncertainty there's a sense of relief among the general population polls suggest six in ten italians are ready to welcome a populist coalition government. gave that we've had very little substantive progress in politics over the last few years i hope this alliance if you can call it that will make a positive difference. also must ensure that i feel nervous about this.

we're taking a big risk. and kevin are going to. i think will change is good italians have had enough of traditional politics and we haven't got much to show fours. get up to what they were going to. but many refugees in italy like come out to and from mali have reason to feel uneasy no. i think it's crazy that they actually want to send us back i can't believe i've been hearing about this since i got here it's just insane. man shuffle. that's why people in classrooms like this one on the edge of rome pope specially the u.k. and russia have been waiting for her to speak today she did. has spoken about her recovery from the nerve agent attack that almost killed her and her father

a former spawn they were poisoned in the british town of solsbury back in march your script all says that her life has been turned upside down. nobody yes i will. one of my name is you. i came to the u.k. on much the third to visit my father something i've done before you know after twenty days in a coma i woke to the news that we may have been poisoned and i still find it difficult to come to terms with the fact that we were attacked in this way. but the fact that a nerve agent was used to do this is shocking we're so lucky to have both survived this attempted assassination i don't want to describe the details but the treatment was invasive painful and depressing. our recovery has been slow and extremely painful. yet as i'm grateful for the office of assistance from the russian embassy but at the moment i don't want to avail myself of their services also i

want to reiterate what i said earlier that no one speaks for me or my father but ourselves. it was your script there here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world medics are racing to control an outbreak of ebola in northwestern congo the disease is believed to have killed at least twenty seven people since early april the world health organization has warned that the situation was on a knife edge and that the epidemic had clear potential to expand. a court in india has halted the expansion of a copper smelting plant protests against it turned violent at least eleven people have been killed in two days of demonstrations demanding the closure of the site in do activists and residents say that emissions from the plant are a dangerous helped risk. n.f.l. teams in the u.s. whose players failed to stay with the national anthem is played before game will face fines some players chose to kneel last year to protest police shootings about

unarmed black men that sparked criticism from the new policy was announced today by the league's commissioner. all right now big changes for little in the u.s. so seems the big banks are going to have to stick to the old regulations but u.s. president trump shocked america with plans to roll back banking regulations and now congress has approved a bill to dismantle pockets of the post financial crisis legislation but large lenders will have to continue as before. the u.s. congress voted to roll back dodd frank rules is a big win for small and midsized banks who have more freedom and less bureaucracy big banks with more than two hundred fifty billion dollars in assets will still be subject to the post financial crisis regulation. until now all banks with more than

fifty billion dollars in assets was subject to strict financial rules these included higher capital requirements more protection for consumers and stress tests measuring banks ability to survive a major economic downturn proponents say loosening restraints on banks will boost lending and spoke growth critics say it could lead to the next financial crisis and then is called as a wall street as we heard the against proponents of saying that this deregulation will simply make it easier for smaller banks to compete or is this just the start of the slide back to the bad old days of two thousand and eight what do you say. well deregulation doesn't go as far as the us president promised shortly after he took over the white house and they had to because they needed to not to go too far to find some common ground with the democrats and the main reason why we do see

this deregulation is that there is some fear that the housing market actually could start to cool down we already have mortgage rates at the highest level in seven years interbred prevent that now lenders are getting getting into a bit easier to give money to a new home buyer so that's basically the main reason why also some democrats are going along with this proposal so perhaps some much needed support but stocks struggled in wednesday's session are investors finding it hard to dispel doubts over a u.s. china trade deal. yeah there was so much optimism on monday they're actually in agreement or would be right around the corner but then we got a damper already on tuesday when u.s. president donald trump said that he's not really happy how trade talks are going and he sort of repeated that remark here on wednesday and we did selling pressure

continuing at some point but then we got the fed minutes the protocol of the last the fed meeting and even if it's very likely that we will see a next rate hike at the next fed meeting end of june it is not so likely that the federal reserve will continue aggressive course towards the end of the year they downplayed some inflation fears and that actually calmed down the nerves of investors here on wall street in the late session on wednesday ok again scott i thank you very much for that. and let's get back to banks germany's biggest lender looks sets to slash ten thousand jobs in the efforts to reduce costs reports say one in every ten employees a dog or a bank is facing the chop with cuts likely to extend to twenty nineteen new c.e.o. christie and c.v. has previously said the bank is scaling back its presence in the u.s. market and would place more focus on your loss making lenders expected to announce

the measures ahead of its annual general meeting on thursday for i'm monitoring the developments this week forces our financial correspondent in frankfurt. well the reporting so far seems to indicate that the cuts will be everywhere and all the regions where deutsche bank operates across all levels of the operation so retail banking investment banking assets asset management at its subsidiary opposed the bank it's also it's already working on cutting its activities on u.s. equities but it's also started to reduce operations elsewhere like in central europe africa and the middle east so the supervisory board is apparently getting together tonight in order to consult on these plans and these targets with the results being presented tomorrow at that shareholders meeting where i will also be monitoring the developments as they unfold. through the call it tech for good fifty top tech c.e.o.'s have met with french president among all my powers

to talk about leaving a positive mark on the world but many would think like facebook and a hobby the ones to tout their positive influence but maybe that's the point to get silicon valley firms to think different. if mogs took about four cities ways to come to an end he was wrong french president emanuel mccraw made it clear to the facebook c.e.o. that he would be calm things down on global businesses the exploits pass no data while avoiding paying taxes. was one of the round sixty industry bosses attending the tech for good summit on wednesday the meeting had one main objective encouraging global companies to focus on improving the wild especially since so many of them have become more influential than governments. obviously on a worldwide basis people are increasingly concerned about their relationship to

technology the impact on the workplace how this will affect international politics and governance and governance has a harder time managing this. frankly the companies in the world is moving at a faster pace than government. companies to still freeriding while ignoring social situations around them and his was may have already taken impact and some friends took the opportunity to announce new initiatives will be investing one hundred million dollars in entrepreneurs in europe and in africa who are working on bringing digital skills to everyone so that the future of work is available to everyone food delivery service delivery stated that curry is would now have free insurance while announced that european drivers will have access to medical cover. and now it's back to brant and i will merkel is on a mission to china that's exactly right she is due to land in beijing in the coming

hours and there she'll hold talks with the chinese government some relations between beijing and berlin have been described in the past as complicated but in the wake of growing u.s. protectionism and washington's withdrawal from the iran nuclear deal chancellor merkel and. president xi jinping may be looking to deepen their strategic tarries during this visit. so what's the chinese term for big brother or residents of wrong chang on the country's east coast they just might have the answer they're taking part in a radical social experiment in which their every move is watched by surveillance cameras there are awarded points for good behavior and they lose points for bad behavior the best performing residents earn social and economic rewards. at first glance wrong chang on china's east coast looks like a tranquil ideal seaside city but a closer look reveals

a cluster of surveillance cameras at almost every corner grown ching has become a model city through a vast social experiment that could soon transform the country city all thora t's use a point system to score citizens' behavior people who help their parents and sing communist songs gain points their commended in public and get easy access to loans and jobs but people guilty of traffic violations lose points and could be banned from traveling by plane or train in front of the cameras wrong chen citizens are all smiles one time then sat me on tell you how you can i think there are only good people here now and far fewer bad ones. that's how it should be right. i don't want to live in a chaotic society. and i don't want honest people to suffer. that's why i think people what is almost an arms race ready should be punished by the state. your

ticket only. the place where citizens are observed unrated translates to integrity square it's in this round loss office that points are added up or taken away those who visit may not know their ranking but they need a certificate of their status to buy a flat or register at a school in wrong. the state council wants to make life difficult for those who misbehave. could this social experiment be expanded to all one point four billion chinese thanks to artificial intelligence and data harvesting near total surveillance is now possible at this cross walk in beijing those who disobeyed the traffic light i shamed on a large screen. i don't know where this data goes if it's not used for commercial purposes but only by the police and it's ok. so where is china heading maybe this man can tell us here donald trump is speaking

fluent mandarin thanks to artificial intelligence putting words in his mouth. you know this company can read your lips i fly tech scans telephone calls in real time and can recognise every voice a question for their spokesman are they working for the state. for these poor who are actually i do not know the details but it's on your website the website says you're collaborating with the public security ministry yes we have we have department guards using ai technology and speech acknowledge e two for public security issue in one district of wrong chiang the old style neighborly snitching is still in operation i notice board with citizens reporting on each other the authorities don't want to talk about it. elsewhere wrong chang marches on towards a new level of surveillance. and then you have the united states where lawmakers in

the state of texas are holding a special session on gun violence it follows last friday's mass shooting at a high school in santa fe despite the latest fatalities there is little chance of serious reforms unlike the push for stricter gun control that followed the florida school shooting three months ago friends and families of the santa fe victims are largely opposed to gun control the w.'s claire richardson has that story. an increasingly common scene in the united states makeshift memorials for victims of a nasa shooting this time at santa fe high school in texas. there are prayers for the eight students and two teachers who lost their lives. but emitted a nationwide debate over how to stop such massacres this community thinks it's not about guns and most say stricter controls are off the table. i think right now what i just really want to focus on is it is this this city healing i don't have the

quick answers for this i don't know that anybody does knowing our town probably not or they think are going all those are good the way they are. a lot of things that just need to be seen for the bigger picture than what it is and not these political reasonings that all these people keep bringing up about these guns in an area that r.j. doesn't have a minute to go on its own person those. no other developed country in the world comes close to the levels of gun violence in the united states but many in santa fe believe it's not gun legislation but society that's broken texas has some of the most relaxed gun laws in the country but many here don't feel that changing that would help prevent tragedies like the massacre that took place at santa fe high school the response stands in stark contrast to the student led activism that arose after a shooting in parkland florida but it represents attitudes in many parts of the united states that guns are not the problem. sixteen year old marcel mcclinton is trying to find a way to connect with communities like santa fe he is also

a mass shooting survivor two years ago a man opened fire in his church he says sharing that grief is a first step to bridging the divide how can march for a lives how can people who agree with going to reform reach roll concert communities in a way that doesn't offend them it isn't you know that i speak for them. it's the unanswered question that has left so many students traumatized and others fearing that they won't. to see graduation. well one of america's greatest writers philip roth has died he was eighty five years old broth pushed literary and social boundaries with his explorations of sex death and assimilation he won every major u.s. literary award including the pulitzer prize reclusive and often reluctant to give interviews philip roth was known for his provocative and uncompromising novels about the american jewish experience there's a certain odessa to writing books without the audacity of can't write books and

perhaps there's even a certain recklessness in writing books. i think the society i live in can live with my recklessness such as that is rob who is the author of more than thirty novels and short story collections spending seven decades is a work frequently blurred the lines between fiction and memoir and drew on his experience growing up in a jewish family in new jersey many of his protagonists were thinly veiled fergusons of himself my strong as addresses a life of men and i think my subject has been that. what what what is that what is what it what is the life of a man in my time roth was one of the most highly honored figures in american literature but for him a claim and controversy were inseparable he insisted writing should expose and not sanitize the human experience. well here's
