a series of slides was the title seventeen a proposition plan b. to lead it to the out of the euro that has been coauthored by a much r.l. and some other italian economist so he openly admits that he wants to leave the country out of the euro he is not only euro skeptic he's really hostile and he talks about the euro as a prison that italy is that sort of in caged in and that is sort of being made by germany and only profiting the the german economy so he has turned to be so radical that much of obviously thought he was really in danger in the country and the future of the country mentoring is looking at the spread and that is the money that the financial markets want to finance the italian government debt and this is the main problem italy has a huge amount of debt to the tune of two point two trillion euros this is one

hundred thirty percent of its yearly g.d.p. and then it's so much money that any movements on financial markets construed the country absolutely into the abyss you mentions of own as hostile position towards the european union and the euro did brussels play any kind of role in getting his nomination overturned. officially not of course not because everybody is always very careful to avoid that however we've heard some warnings particularly from the french a finance minister last week and from some of the european finance ministers who said please do stick to the roots do not do anything rash we have to find solutions together and don't sort of few know shake the bars don't do anything that really in danger is the euro because italy is economically in such a precarious position that it might infect endangered the whole euro zone and that

is the fear that everybody has here of course barbara what's next there's already talk of new elections this year. yes the next step is that the president talked to a former i.m.f. full fishel tomorrow somebody he hopes could be the head of the technocrat government an interim government to leave the country and talk about new elections now sort of looking at the fall after the summer break maybe september maybe october of course the populist parties who now feel duped and think they've been cheated from their victory they're furious and they're talking about impeachment against martha relevant as more and less impossible in the italian system and they're holding fiery speeches and so there is a lot of anger so the later new elections come the more the country gets the chance to think again and to sort of calm down the bit. of a zone in brussels thank you. germany's farai party took to the streets of

berlin earlier today supporters of the anti immigration alternative for germany or f.t. gathered for a demonstration they have called a future for germany they showed up in the thousands of counter demonstrators were out in even greater numbers. go away go away they chanted demonstrators marching against the a.f.d. an alliance of political parties labor unions and other groups organized the counter-demonstration together they move allies to an estimated twenty five thousand people to take a stand against the right wing populists and so it's a good thing that the f.t. which pretends it represents the majority sees it doesn't we the counter-demonstrators are the majority. and they represented a broad cross-section of german society. who know this. law does

life think people should be taller and. they should accept people the way they are . but it's not don't think it's right to spread hate trips which is what the f.t. does. it is that gets to it and i think it's great that there are so many young people i was afraid they might not be as politically active as before this is great but one thing is making. police came to debate five thousand a.f.d. supporters. is just a slum this was little bit of our fathers and mothers and we wanted to stay the way they left it for us. it's. a f.t. speakers warned against islam eyes ation of germany and criticised the government's refugee policies supporters shouted americal must go more yeah get out of the year right now i already feel like foreigners in our own country because we're afraid to go for

a walk in the evening at seaton are going to govern all who. it's already can't even be a petri dish anymore if you say you're proud of your country you get labeled a nazi. nazi old overthrew this will. be. the end he ended it's around the with the german national anthem. the counter-demonstrators still don't seem to take new ended their day by taking to the streets. and to the walter. i'm now joined by d.w. correspondent thomas sparrow who spent the day in the center of berlin monitoring they have the demonstration thomas you were there what was the main message from these demonstrators they want to differ and germany the demonstrators that i spoke to that if the demonstrators that i that i was told they oppose basically everything that is happening now in germany whether you're talking about the refugee policy we're talking about integration and we're talking about economic policy we're talking about social justice essentially the a fifty of the supporters

of the a few that were there today against the way things are being handled now in germany and that was absolutely evident today back from now we know in september the f.t. pulled in more than twelve percent of the vote just over twelve percent of the vote there were demonstrators there we also saw i can or demonstrators there are more of them is any kind of indication that support for the f.d.a. is actually waning no it's an indication and that's the if he represents exactly that around twelve percent of the german population who had the idea of the on the one hand you had a wide variety of other groups on the other hand there was not only cultural groups of clubs you had also politicians political groups so it's essentially represents that and it represents obviously another important aspect in my opinion namely that germany is divided i was absolutely clear i was standing today at one point on a bridge over billions main river you had in the one hand the f.t. demonstrators on the other hand those who were against it and you can you could clearly see it was not only a clash of opinions but it was also

a clash of visions of where they want germany to go in the next few years maybe in the next few decades as well did over your correspondent thomas sparrow thank you for your insight. voters in colombia are going to the polls today as the south american nation chooses its next president a key issue for voters is the landmark peace deal colombia's outgoing president signed with marxist fark rebels two years ago right wing candidate ivan ducasse says the deal is too lenient on far guerillas he wants to jail former rivals for war crimes leftist candidate gustava picture on the other hand backs the deal and his party is also not ruling out entering a coalition with political party your country he signed in two thousand and sixteen and in a conflict at last the decades and claimed hundreds of thousands of lives. on ophelia the truth is following the story for us from bogota ophelia it's good to see you who is looking like a front runner up the moment well if you believe the latest

polls would probably win today with more than forty percent but that wouldn't be enough to become colombia's next president and that means he would have to face the second favorite but. in the second round of vote on june seventeenth polls also say that if that was to be the case he even duke it would probably win the election but some others expect through to gather those votes of the other center and center left candidates that are also running today and interesting note to add is that for the first time the loser of the second vote of the second round sorry would become would get a seat in the senate and its vice president candidate would get a seat in congress. now the outcome of this result weighs massively on the peace process if ivan u.k. wins the presidency how much could this affect the peace process.

well he's already announced that he wants to make major changes to the peace deal especially regarding punishment to former guerrilla members which he wants to see in jail or even extradited to the united states but it has to be said that the deal in its current form is safe for at least three periods which means he wouldn't be able to make as many changes as he would like to but what we can expect is that the implementation of the deal would see further slowdown something that has already happened during the last two years we've only seen one third of the agreement implemented one of the six points that were signed and this could even become worse if even look a was to become president. correspondent of feeling harms a ruse the thank you. fans in the spanish capital are celebrating their footballing heroes real madrid who returned home after their three one win over liverpool in
