least the leader of the five star movement who has suggested not at love be impeached for betraying the state. which it will jeremy let me say he's clearly not turning out to vote he's pointless in this country because the ratings agencies choose the government even when the citizens and we've consensus between two political forces who want to change things and who want to represent a tally and send their interests in the end to why always seems to be found to block the people's will going to see that for the very latest we have journalist philip willett in the room phillip not the five some women leaders accusing the president of betraying the people mandate has the president done that. or of course that controversial statement. for supporters of the five star they leak they probably feel he has just won
12:03 pm
an election there are two big winners. the march election they feel they can do this government had a mandate from the big all whereas the president was elected some years ago by a different parliament not a direct indorsement people and so there's a lot of controversy in the interpretation of the constitution which says that the president chooses ministers in consultation with prime minister designate and he could just rubber stamp in this case. that he really had to be so where do we go from here present a matter less fit to appoint a no contest any as it did in prime minister house is expected to work. well clearly there's
12:04 pm
a lot of ill feeling at the moment. lately among the people who were counting on government and starting to change things in italy or so the indication is that there really is are likely to find a majority in both of them if he can't win the verge of confidence he will then have to simply lead the country towards fresh elections which are expected in any case in the year or to. be a lot of uncertainty ahead for italy and unlikely that they really will really be able to make much impact philip pullman in rome thank you very much someone to come joins me now on as we heard political uncertainty in rome but the markets seem to like the president's decision of course last week they were all up in arms about the possibility of an anti euro government and now the euro is up and

so is trading in milan with italian banks leading the pack all of course following the news that the euro skeptic will not become finance minister of italy the italian government bond market also rose again reflecting increased investor confidence before talks to form a new coalition government broke down ratings agency moody's threatened to cut italy's debt rating citing risks that a new government will weaken its public finances and retreat from previous reforms italy holds the world's third largest public debt and it is vulnerable to a price in refinancing costs. right let's get the latest market reaction now from con had listen our man in frankfurt cannot it looks like investors really he signed off relief is that italy problem solved. you know it's not monica indicator for this is that this side of relieve has lost some of its intensity here
12:06 pm
at midday italian government bond yields are on the way up again and the stock market in milan in italy has turned from the upside to the downside many economists predict that the perspective of a new general election in italy will have a negative impact on business sentiment that companies in italy will be less inclined to spend and invest and of course the outcome of the general election in italy is likely not to be very different from the last one that's what many commentators in the financial world believe so the anti elitist anti establishment anti austerity vote will not just go away like that now in the mean time it is president. has asked a former i f official to have a stopgap government how do markets interpret that move. well obviously the president in italy wants to make sure that the country is
12:07 pm
governed by a person that is internationally well connected that there is a government that's able to show that it can handle a budget that it can handle communications with the markets that it can handle debt but of course here in the eurozone when ever there is talk of the international monetary fund in connection with a eurozone country everyone thinks about the euro crisis where you know countries like portugal spain ireland greece had to be bailed out with the support of the international monetary fund so the fact of having an i.m.f. man governing the country of italy might be a very very bad omen. in frankfurt thank you so much for the update. and i'll be back with more business news on the state of global trait but in the meantime it's back to rita thank you very much monica let me now begin to dip in
12:08 pm
some other stories making news around the wild supporters of germany's and immigration alternative for germany f.t. gathered for a rally in central on sunday really five thousand but they were outnumbered by the opponents who took part in a counter demonstration organized by an alliance of political parties labor unions and other groups. years authorities have declared a state of emergency in pots of mary land after communities were kicked by severe flash floods in any cost city the water carried away cars and engulfed tomes and businesses it's the second major flood to hit the area in two years. this is government has cut the price of diesel in response to a weeklong strike by truck drivers that has paralyzed the economy truckers barricaded hundreds of roads in protest of rising fuel prices the strike action has led to nationwide fuel and food shortages turning out
12:09 pm
a turkey which goes to the polls in four weeks' time that's after president richard . called snap presidential and parliamentary elections a year and a half ahead of shed you add on is the clear favorite to win the presidential race but he's facing opposition from an alliance of parties that includes the republican people's party or c h b d w spoke to my head of the c h b s presidential candidate one of turkey's fiercest opposition voices. my focus is on three things first making peace second economic development and third fair distribution of resources. go. to accomplish these things i offer three principles first and which direction should we turn to the. second will be the means. and individual freedoms and third what will be the administrative structure the
12:10 pm
administration won't be based on a one man regime and checks on a strong leader with a capable team. called. let me go and. it is fun when you hear what located tell us about him in chile and his party the c.h.p. . the c.h.p. is the biggest opposition party here in turkey they describe themselves as a modern social democratic party but they also follow a nationalist approach they draw their support from secularist voters most of all in western turkey cities like is neo on telly these are their strongholds and yes they announced what an engine as their presidential candidate just recently a man who has been in turkish politics for many years but hasn't had the chance to make it to the big stage yet i'm till now and he clearly tries to present himself as an alternative to miss to add on he says i will bring turkey back on the reform
12:11 pm
track i will repair strained relations with the european union he also attacks mr outline for his mega projects and status symbols mr injure for example says as president he will not use the huge presidential palace an anchor but rather turn this building into a university so democracy justice and economic reforms these are the major promises missed in jamaica's during his campaign and talking about economic reform the economy is a big issue in the upcoming election this as a turkish garden city the leader has lost more than twenty percent of its value against the dollar and the euro since the start of the year let's we'll have a listen to what lot of inchy had to say about the economy. 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
12:12 pm
they all move their capital elsewhere. to see if 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. so you have a specific message for his supporters but you know what head of inches john says against president in next month's election. well the economic situation here is definitely a huge topic for many people but there is not going to be an easy solution i'm sure where an engine knows that as well what are his chances i mean he is seen as a charismatic guy as someone who passionately speaks to people so on this level when it comes to motivating people he's certainly seen as a man who can challenge mr adlon but nobody really things mr inject can get the necessary fifty percent of the vote in the first round of elections so the opposition's best hope is that misses out on will not get these fifty percent as
12:13 pm
well and therefore be forced into a runoff against a single opposition candidate but let's remember this election is again happening under a state of emergency which has all kinds of implications for candidates and campaigns rights groups criticize the media landscape here is overwhelmingly in support of the government in support of mr adlon so many people here fear that these elections are not going to be fair elections now you are standing in gezi park where five years ago today they will massive protests people have come out to demonstrate against a controversial development project planned for this popular park and the protests turned violent after a ride police car broke with protesters using tear gas and water cannon the government stuff response spot nationwide protests that people wanted about what they saw as turkish president that you're doing slide towards authoritarian in their rights and press freedom. here five years later what remains of the
12:14 pm
angle for gays in a protest of two thousand and thirteen doesn't still resonate with the people there . oh yes people are talking about what's happened five years ago they shared their hopes and fears their emotions that made them actually become part of that does the movement as it's often referred to they share videos they share they share photos but they do so most mostly privately or on social media on twitter for example because this area where i'm at right now the guese park in the surrounding taksim area is actually off limits to demonstrators now there is police twenty four seven making sure similar protests won't happen again so if the give me time was about hope hope for change for many people the dominant mood now is does illusion and my feeling my impression is that opposition parties here are now
12:15 pm
trying to ignite that spark of hope again and trying to mobilize people around this . in istanbul turkey thank you very much. colombia's headed for a runoff presidential election after voting on sunday conservative iran do care one the first iran with close to forty percent of the votes he will now face off against a leftist former rebel petro next month this is the first presidential election since a peace treaty was signed in two thousand and sixteen and in five decades of armed conflict between the government and fox. care ok. right wing candidate even duke it had by far the strongest support in the first round but the question of the fark areolas and how to integrate them or not looms large over the colombian presidential election two k. thinks the twenty sixteen peace deal that the government signed with the group is
12:16 pm
too lenient he wants to prosecute the former rebels for war crimes and jail them. also. we don't want to rip up the peace accords. look at what we want to do is state clearly that for there to be peace in colombia there must be peace with justice. truth telling reparations and jail sentences so that the victim's demands are met. also in the second round left wing candidate gustavo petro to case camp thinks he will be easy to beat pay throwbacks the peace deal and won't rule out going into a coalition with a fox political party. where. the forces of free citizens have no limits. and so we are venting with decisive steps. always forward.
12:17 pm
you can be sure we're going to win. and change the history of colombia. colombia marks the end of its decades long conflict with the fark in november twenty six thousand when it signed the peace deal but a national referendum on ratifying the deal actually failed sense then the question of how to move forward has divided the country as a vision now personified by petro and. one of whom will be colombia's next president oh no we're not. here watching the devaney is coming up ahead a spectacular rescue and. the reward for the illegal immigrant who saved a child dangling from a balcony is thanks when the french president with an offer of citizenship. but first irritant to monica a major global policy summit today in berlin rep but disciplines are looking at big picture issues. more sometimes just looking at those issues of the rescued go boy
12:18 pm
there well yes international leaders in science in politics and business are currently gathering in berlin for the global solution summit of the event is organized by the global network called global solution initiative which aims to support the g twenty and contributes to solving big problems and there is no shortage of such especially when it comes to global trade. he's certainly no fan of global free trade since donald trump took office he's renegotiated several key trade agreements and backed out of others foreign steel and recently cars are all according to trump a national security threat and he's fighting back with import tariffs trump's isolationist path is part of the strategy he wants to give domestic companies an edge in the u.s. markets american made cars for example are often less popular than german ones.
12:19 pm
but the u.s. is new direction is helping foster new by natural coalitions germany and china affirmed their joint commitment to global free trade during chancellor angela merkel's visit to beijing but can such efforts really hold the tide of protectionism coming from the world's largest economy and what about the w in recent years the trade organization has gained a reputation for drawn out negotiations resulting in no clear solution its function is to promote free trade and establish a framework for its critics however say the w t o is a relic of the past and should be abolished. well it's pick up on that the former president of the w t o is at the global solutions summit in berlin and he joins us now from there good to have you with us are certainly interesting times we're living in here and certainly for global trade how dangerous is washington stance on trade for the global economic system. well it is
12:20 pm
dangerous. it is dangerous because it's. the only country in this planet and not the smallest one that departs from a long standing commitment in the international system that opening trade is the thing to do however record now you know that the we know loser equation stemming from that may not always be right but it's the first time since a fifty years ago that a major country. becomes another case of protectionism and that's very dangerous although although so far so far it's been more bark than bite and the volume of the growth of world trade has not yet been affected is there anything the w t o o can do in order to support europe for example germany in particular in its fight against high import tariffs tariffs on steel and alan minium costs.
12:21 pm
of course of course the world trade organization has ruled. that forbidden the sort of. which from initiated in the us a notably this. still another medium where they are coming from europe or for that's where i think the european union must fight this the w t o by taking the us to the dispute in the w g o and by repeating with its own power if if mr trump does not back down yes this is a major issue europe has to act on strong for him or getting the us why why recognising that the us are not always wrong when they say that the rules of world trade today all not what they should be and they notably the whole song chinese behaviorism which are contrary to
12:22 pm
a level playing field worldwide so you lost side with china against the us and not siding with the us against china in trying to improve the rules of world trade through a multilateral negotiation and that's the european mission i mean you've already hinted quite strongly that a trade rules at changing times are moving faster and faster and there are some who say that they can't wait for example for the delhi to catch up and basically sorts things for them do you think that the w t o keeps up pace can keep up pace. i think that i mean hugh and by the way i don't see any other sort of action it's obvious that by that we traded off much worse notably for poorer countries so there is no other solution but your right it's like being behind and what needs to be
12:23 pm
done and that's europe's mission to convince both u.s. and china that better stronger multilateral trade rules must be agreed the u.s. have to pay less for their agriculture and china has to subsidize its industry less than it does this can only come from a negotiation in the w.t. oh all right pascal levy former president of the world straight organization joining us from the global solutions summit in berlin thank you so much. pleasure as your business update at this hour more to come later but every task that someone used for us focused thank you very much monica turning to some sport and will power kept a fine beacon for australian motor sport by becoming the first australian driver to win the prestigious indy five hundred after his compactor done in. a formula once monaco grand prix earlier in the day powered repeated the trick in indianapolis.
12:24 pm
it's the most famous race in the u.s. motor sport attended by fans and celebrities alike australian actor chris hemsworth was on flag to start the indy five hundred an omen of what was to come this legendary oval circuit makes for some high speed action and dramatic crashes while policy to add carpenter and willpower behind him kept out of trouble early on tanika patrick didn't. trick the only woman to win an indy car race last control a third of the way through she already announced she'd be retiring after this race groundbreaking career sadly ending in a puff of smoke. no fairytale for patrick but at the front power had moved into the least taking advantage when his rivals needed to stop for fuel their straightly and suffer disappointment here in twenty fifteen when he was picked to the weigh in but true to his name he showed well will power to put all that behind him.

i was wondering if i would ever win a thoughts went through my mind during the month. my career i've had so many wins so many polls that i've always talked about the five hundred and i won and i can't i just couldn't imagine winning a race in front of a crowd like this five. power finally getting his hands on the winner's race and it wouldn't be the indy five hundred if it wasn't all washed down with the traditional bottle of milk i. am talking about when i was real madrid fans in the spanish capital have been celebrating their heroes they returned home after their three one win over liverpool in the champions league final thousands lined the streets for a victory parade after beach liverpool on saturday for a record thirteenth title there was also a reception at the city hall and the players are getting to know this trophy very
