this is deja vu news live from berlin italy plunges into political chaos the populist party's bid to form a government collapses the prime minister elect steps aside after italy's president rejects his choice of a euro skeptic or economics minister we'll get the latest from rome and brussels also coming up. germany's anti immigration party takes to the streets and so too does opponents of the alternative for germany's stages a rally in central girl lenin supporters are outnumbered by anti if the

demonstrators. can and will the real kim please stand up singapore gets a dress rehearsal with the historic summit between the north korean leader and president trump back on track. i'm brian thomas a warm welcome to the show. italy's massive post election drama has taken another surprising turn the prime minister elect has stepped down after the country's president rejected his choice for economics minister a man who said that italy should prepare to leave the euro now the country will see the exact type of leadership most voters did not want carlo come to rally a former international monetary fund adviser is said to be appointed by the president as an interim premier and he'll be given the job of forming

a caretaker government. with limited political experience italy's coalition parties choice for prime minister was always going to be considered unconventional nature sepic on to has confirmed he would leave the country. i have rejected the mandate to form a government that was offered to me by president might that i love and i can assure you i have given all of my efforts and all of my attention to this task and i have worked in a climate of maximum collaboration. but they said it all centers around this man. the league and five star parties had put ten forward as their candidate to head the economy and finance ministry the euro skeptic has asked whether italy should stop using the euro as its official currency that's the last thing the president wants.

another thing if you want to the minnesota economy the nomination for the economy ministry delivers an immediate message of trust or alarm to the financial world if you know. or casebook but when i asked for that ministry to be taken by a notable figure from the majority political party. when someone who was aware of the program someone who does not support the policy which was announced by the coalition parties or do. you vote for many of the sort of action which could provoke or lead to italy leaving the euro the photo shoot of it over. the president's decision to reject the candidate has angered many of at least political figures not least the leader of the five star movement who suggested

matter rather be impeached for betraying the state. let me say this clearly turning out a vote is pointless in this country because the rating agencies choose the government even when the citizens with over fifty percent of consensus between two political forces who want to change things and want to represent italians and their interests. in the end a way always seems to be found to block the people's will. because. president matter rather has summoned former international monetary fund director carlo qatar daily for talks a further attempt to end the long running political impasse in a country which could soon face the prospect of snap elections. so is italy in the midst of an unprecedented political and institutional clash to find out let's bring indeed obvious that regard from our brussels studio and in rome we have the

journal's philip well and good morning to both of you philip the five star movement is calling for the president to be impeached requote betraying italy's citizens is that a possibility what's next for italy. personally that does exist as a technical possibility. and people who agree with the call for his impeachment take the view that he didn't really have much of a political mandate for what he did you selected by parliament but he's forwarded the will or thirty two parties that emerged as winners from the most recent elections but i think on the other hand these calls for impeachment are really just the beginning of. this election campaign we can expect a lot more fiery rhetoric between now and any new election and i

think realistically it is hard to imagine a majority in parliament that would be required voting in favor of impeachment of this president it would also send a signal that italy was doing really rudderless and will further aggravate the current crisis ok so is the new elections a real possibility bant the italian president saying the euro was central to italy's future but italian voters are not so sure what does ross also want to see happen in rome. well there are mixed feelings here in brussels on the one hand there's a kind of shouting for the relief of the populace government failed in this attempt to form a government which is against or maybe against the euro on the other hand the use of cause aware that now months of uncertainty both follow and that italy is not able to decide on anything that is now urgent in the european union and its name

migration or the reform of the eurozone and also it's certain that the populace might gain in the next election and that is of course not to the liking of the euro crowds here in brussels bad very good for us in brussels philip willing in rome thanks very much to both of you this morning or to monica now for more on this a lot of italian voters a few ming this morning but investors are relieved about the developments in rome you can say that again brian and you can clearly see that with the euro which is up and so is trading in milan with italian banks leading the pack and all of that following the news that a euro skeptic will not become finance minister of italy the italian government bond market also rose again reflecting increased investor confidence now before talks to form a new coalition government broke down ratings agency moody's already threatened to cut to italy's debt rating citing risks that a new government will weaken its public finances and retreat from previous reforms

let's remember that italy holds the world's third largest public debt and is vulnerable to a rise in refinancing costs for the latest let's cross over now to the front foot stock market in the standing by at least in the city of frankfurt had to know euro skeptic italian finance minister but also more public political chaos certainly in italy is the risk up or down now for the financial markets. the risk is definitely down monica this in the this is indicated this morning very very clearly in the numbers you mentioned the euro the euro is up equity markets in both milan and also here in frankfurt on the upside and more importantly for investors the government bond yield has come down quite significantly you know this year the interest rate that italy has to pay on its government debt.

here the yield had increased very significantly in recent weeks because market participants were afraid and were nervous that this very euro skeptic and very irresponsible in terms of government that government would come into power this risk is down at least for the moment and what are the developments in italy mean for the european central bank and its a bond buying program there's a lot of discussion about that last week. that's true you know there are different government buying programs or possibilities for the e.c.b. to go out and buy bonds one possibility is now not going to be triggered or it's much less likely that it's going to happen you know in two thousand and twelve the e.c.b. decided that it would be legal to buy government bonds for the european central bank in case the yields of one country increase so high that the e.c.b.

considers this a danger to the currency this is not going to happen now in terms of the you regular monthly bond purchases that b. does every month well of course more and more people in recent weeks because of italy have began to discuss again whether or not the phasing out of this quantitative easing program this purchase program can really happen as planned at the end of september this afternoon we'll get an update on where the e.c.b. stands in terms of its bond purchases and of course now the focus of many people on the markets is on this american led listen there from frankfurt thank you so much for this and crossing over to brazil where the government has slashed the price of diesel following a weeklong strike by truck drivers that has brought much of south america's largest

economy to a standstill you can see equal to forty six cents a liter will be locked in place for sixty days that's according to president michel he called for truck drivers to go back to work according to unions up to a million truckers took part in the strike action hundreds of roads were blocked leading to nationwide fuel and food shortages happy transports and air travel also thanked. that's united business update brian. time now monica for a look at some of the other stories making the news this hour colombia is headed for a runoff presidential election in june after candidates failed to secure fifty percent of the votes needed in sunday's vote conservative first place finisher even duke a will face off against the former fark rebel groups although pedro u.k. has vowed to rewrite his country's peace deal with the rebels saying it was too lenient. u.s.

authorities have declared a state of emergency in parts of maryland after communities were hit by severe flash flooding in ellicott city water carried away cars and engulfed homes and businesses it is the second major flood to hit that area in two years. former u.s. president george h.w. bush has been admitted to hospital suffering from low blood pressure and fatigue officials say he will remain there under observation for a number of days and i mean three year old suffers from parkinson's wheelchair bound he's been hospitalized on several occasions in recent years. or here in berlin germany's anti immigration party took to the streets of the capital on sunday supporters of the alternative for germany the e.f.t. gathered for a demonstration they called a future for germany they showed up in their thousands counter-demonstrators came out in even greater numbers. go away go away they chanted

demonstrators marching against the f.t. an alliance of political parties labor unions and other groups organized the counter-demonstration together they mobilized an estimated twenty five thousand people to take a stand against the rightwing populists. and so it's a good thing that the f.t. which pretends it represents the majority sees it doesn't we they came to demonstrators are the majority. and they represented a broad cross-section of german society. at large as life think people should be taller and. they should accept people the way they are. but if i don't think it's right to spread hate trips which is what the f.t. does. he does get to it and i think it's great that there are so many young people i was afraid he might not be as politically active as before this is great but one thing is making the. police count at about five thousand and fifty supposes.

as he states none this is the land of our fathers and mothers and we wanted to stay the way they left it for us it's. a if the speaker's worn. the islam is ation of germany and criticized the government's refugee policies supporters shouted. oh 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 and going to a dolphin all boys are talking to you can't even be a patriot anymore if you say you're proud of your country you get labeled a nazi. the f.t. ended its rally with the german national anthem oh. the counter-demonstrators still dancing to techno ended their day by taking to the streets and to the war.

it's to turkey now that country goes to the polls in four weeks time that after present relative tire air to one called snap presidential and parliamentary elections a year and a half ahead of schedule everyone is the clear favorite to win the presidential race but he is facing opposition from an alliance of parties that includes the republicans people party or the c h p d w spoke to him or him and showed the c.h.p. is presidential candidate and one of turkey's fiercest opposition voices. shmuck my focus is on three thing this first making peace second economic development and third fair distribution of resources. you know your numbers and to accomplish these things i offer three principles first direction in which direction should we turn to the european union second that's what will be the means a marker still an individual freedoms and third what will be the administrative

structure called the administration won't be based on a one man regime and his are correct checks but i'm a strong leader with a capable team in charge of the called. to defuse you leon is following the story for us in istanbul yulia what more can you tell us about the say of her and shia and his party the c.h.p. the c.h.p. is that turkey's biggest opposition posse they describe themselves as a modern social democratic party but they also follow a nationalist approach they draw all this support mostly from secular voters in western turkey so cities like is near or on tell you these are their strongholds and yes they recently nominated modem injure as their presidential candidate a man who has been in politics for many years but didn't get the chance yet to make it to the big stage so to say and he is trying to present himself as an attorney to have to miss to add one saying that he will put turkey back on the reform track

repass strained relations with the european union he also attacks mr adlon for his mega projects and status symbols missed in just says as president he would not use the gigantic presidential palace in ankara but rather turn that building into a university so democracy just is an economic reforms these are some of his core promises during this election campaign you mentioned the economy is very important right now and at the moment the turkish currency the lira is plunging sauce about twenty percent of its value against the dollar and the euro since the beginning of the year let's hear what. i had to say about that turkey is now a free market economy and you can bring your money in freely but the government is considering penalize ing those who move their money abroad why would any investor come in the current situation even turkish investors don't invest money in turkey. they all move their capital elsewhere. you can't regulate the economy with policing

measures when we get elected we will solve these problems in three months by working with experts and applying universal principles and laws like that which i say when we get elected it sounds like a very easy solution but does her inch even stand a chance even a slim one against president heir to one. well when it comes to the economic problem see if there is no easy solution i'm sure mr inja knows that as well what are his chances he is seen as a charismatic passionate convincing speaker so on this level when it comes to mobilizing people he indeed is seen as a challenger to mr add on that nobody really things miss to inject can get the necessary fifty percent of the vote on election day in the first round the best hope of the opposition is that mr adelman will also not get the fifty percent on june twenty fourth and therefore be forced into a runoff against

a single opposition candidate but we have to remember this election again is happening under a state of emergency which has all kinds of implications for companions and candidates rights groups criticize that the media landscape here is overwhelmingly in favor of the government of mr advani and many people here feel this election is not going to be a fair one at all you know yet we're having this conversation on a day that marks for many turks a type of watershed moment for modern turkey the fifth anniversary of the gays a part protest in istanbul public demonstrations over a planned development project mired in corruption charges back then for that popular gasing park turned violent after riot police deployed now they forcibly removed protesters with tear gas water care and that was five years ago today the government's violent protest back then sparking nationwide protests against president everyone's increasingly authoritarian rule and that was five years ago

hundreds of thousand people concerned about the loss of their rights and cracked on press freedom wound up demonstrating across the country. five years later what's the mood on the streets of turkey today to the protests from twenty thirteen resonate at all today. yes people are talking about what happened five years ago especially today on the anniversary they share share their hopes and fears hopes and fears that actually make them become part of that gazing movement as it's often referred to people are sharing pictures and videos of the protests back then and of course they also remember the people who got killed during these weeks of protests but people actually don't take this to the streets on a large scale they rather talk about it in private or in social media there is a twitter hash tag about this today because today's gives a park you have to know that is off limits to demonstrators police are guarding the

area twenty four seven to make sure a similar protests won't happen there again and so many things have changed in turkey in the past five years following the attempted mily military coup in twenty sixteen tens of thousands of people have been arrested all sacked from their jobs intellectuals artists who have been a really important part of the gezi protests five years ago have left turkey so if hope was the dominant mood back then now it's often disillusionment among those people who consider themselves a part of the guese protests and movement and my feeling is that some of the opposition parties here are trying to ignite that spark of hope again in order to mobilize will for the upcoming elections. or u.s. officials entered the north korean side of the demoed prize own for talks on sunday

it is the latest move in what's become a dramatic diplomatic week between washington and pyongyang the american team's arrival in north korea has razor expectations that the on again off again meeting between kim jong un and president trump will indeed take place and preparations for that meeting in singapore are now underway but everything is not quite what it seems. could it be supreme leader kim jong un strolling along the singapore waterfront a good two weeks before the long awaited u.s. north korean summit premiss drove home or if it was just waiting for him to turn up . even with the a stray an accent many singaporeans were fooled by kim impersonator howard x. he predicted the meeting will be a success. and i think that the two leaders will sit down together and they're going to have a great time because really they have the same personality and really didn't they're the same person so i think it would be best friends right after this

meeting. meanwhile the real kim was in the demilitarized zone at a surprise meeting with the southern counterparts they say the meeting with trump is back on but is it let's start from the beginning and an exchange of bumps. they will be met with fire and fury little rocket man little rocket man rocket man is a sick puppy olympic diplomacy follows in february and pyongyang extends an invitation to meet donald trump i'll be meeting with kim jong un in the coming weeks at the end of april the leaders of north and south korea meet for the first time kim jong un crosses into the south. and mungy in crosses into the north they agree to work toward formally ending the korean war. in may she extends an olive branch and releases three american prisoners i think he did this because i really think he wants to do something. to weeks later kim jong un appears to make

good on a promise detonating parts of his only known nuclear testing site then washington throws a curve ball citing his still ity in a recent north korean comments decided to terminate the plant summit in singapore in june twelfth then just one day later another turnaround the meeting is back on the table trumps explanation by the way you know that back at the surprise meeting over the weekend the south korean president says the north is committed to complete denuclearization but acknowledges that kim and trump might have differing expectations of what that means. meanwhile trump is back to sending confident signals so we're looking at june twelfth and singapore that hasn't changed. and. pretty well so we'll see what happens what happens next is anyone's guess i

can sing the pool no one knows if the meeting will take place this could be the only incarnation of kim genuine ever to set foot hand. its two friends down a migrant from mali is being compared to spider-man after he saved the child who's hanging from a ledge of a building in paris and rescue that was captured on video mama to disarm a scaled the facade of a four story apartment building after he saw a child dangling from the balcony in less than a minute he managed to reach that boy a neighbor was also trying to help but couldn't get to that child to appalls from below the sama managed to reach the ledge and rescue that little boy earlier this morning french president the money will mccall met with his sama at the elysee palace to thank him personally. all sports now will power capped a fine weekend for australian motor sport by becoming the first australian driver to win the prestigious in the five hundred now after his compatriot daniel ricardo
