this is. a crisis in italian politics is it a threat to the euro. minister the economist carlos he has been appointed to head a caretaker government by the country's president an attempt by populist parties to form a government collapse on sunday new elections look at likely and ominous we'll tell you why also coming up zero to the rescue undocumented immigrant saves the life of a toddler in paris the french president personally thanking the twenty two year old

for his astonishing rescue after the video goes. i'm going to have you with us tonight italy's new caretaker prime minister is promising to do all that he can to steer the country out of its political crisis the president of italy today asked carlos to form a government after the collapse of what would have been italy's first populist administration. doesn't plan to stay in office for long he's promised a new elections by the beginning of next year italy has been without a government since more. this is the man with the mandate to form italy's interim government a moderate and former official at the international monetary fund he is a firm believer in the european union and the single currency.

in the phrase of the north a dialogue with europe to defend our interests is essential we can do better than we did in the past but it has to be a constructive dialogue for the acknowledging that is a founding member of our continuous participation in the euro zone remains essential. after the coalition parties put forward a staunch euro skeptic as their economy and finance minister the president pulled the emergency brake rejecting the formation of a new government. it's the establishment versus the new kids on the block an italian politics. the president trying to keep it away what he considers to be tane jervis populist policies leaders of the coalition parties in turn accuse the political old guard of acting autocratically. it seems anyone who has

criticized the euro or europe is considered to be no good as a minister. if this is the case we have a big problem in italy. it's called democracy this is not a free democracy. the league in five star parties had spent days drawing up a coalition pact aimed at ending a stalemate following inconclusive elections in march. their agenda is to tear up the political rulebook but they may have gone too far shoppers in rome seem to side with the president. i'm absolutely pro european and i believe that italy is connected and must have a connection reviewer for future. at a certain point the president who looks after the constitution sees that things are moving in a direction that he doesn't want in my opinion he simply applied the constitution.

you had. some took the political turmoil with the sense of humor you know after profit ship a coup it's the same old ministry but we are totally and so it's normal we managed to get by so viva tahlia. if conoco to really is confirmed by a majority in parliament he will plan for new elections next year if he fails to go near enough support italians could be heading to the polls again much sooner. joining me now is a member of the european parliament a leash law and she is talking to his evening from stross for france it's good to have you on the show i want to ask you about these accusations that we're hearing in italy of the president basically sabotaging the will of the people from where you are sitting tonight does this look like an attack on democracy.

well actually we are in the middle of probably the most serious and seduce a crisis that we have ever gone through but the president up there in public made a difficult choice yesterday but absolutely in the framework of his constitutional prerogatives according to the constitution the minister is are nominated by the president of their public on a proposal by the designate the prime minister yitzhak yes the power to accept them or refuse some of them on discuss them and also in the end there are precedents in history of similar cases in which a minister was refused by the president there public but he was simply changed and then the government was formed anyway so what is new is that this time the forces that were trying to put on the jury he refused to go on without that minister in that position and let me also add that never in our history we have seen such a violent and dramatic get dad to the institution of the president there in public

with meth addicts yes they devise a movement leave their talk about any beats managed and over the two forces are right now rising tension by claiming that by calling on people to get on the streets and go on a demonstration on the second of june next week which is also their celebration or for their republic so it's a very high then some but let me remark once again i think the president has. done a difficult site in a framework of is constitutional power and i have the impression that at least one of that will force this leg on or that with but they also wanted to get to this situation because they did an acceptable position on this is it minister of the misled the me ask you is it is it the criticism could be that the president actually did exactly what these populist wanted him to do they put him between

a rock and a hard place and he said no. i will not accept this finance minister he is anti german he's anti euro the new government collapse now we're looking at new elections and now all of a sudden we're hearing this election will be a referendum on the euro that's exactly what these anti euro parties wanted right well simply yes sometimes the right choice is a bad bet that you give an advantage to others that's true probably in the next i mean the next campaign will be even tougher but let me stress out that the major mind that the president of the republic made yesterday is a point of defense of democracy actually because not one of the four of the two forces that we're trying to put on this government have done become paint by saying they wanted to leave the euro zone so that if by is the president said clearly and

that agree with that and if you want to look at that option off leaving the euro zone on the table you should do it in an electoral campaign if it's not off there what could happen by trying to put the minister who is also a symbol of a plan to get out eventually some of these results so i think part of the realities on the president also into his that into next and i relations of the country we will see probably he wanted to get there but we have seen it with whom he's going to form a coalition for the next lesson that will be interesting because i will be that is going to be a movement really virtually we're out of time misled but we appreciate your insights tonight sir always line joining us from the european parliament in strasbourg france this evening thank you you thank. here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world hundreds of palestinians have gathered in gaza for the funeral of a hamas militant killed by israeli forces israel's military says it fired on a hamas position after coming under fire itself israel also arrested two other

climbing the facade of an apartment building to rescue a toddler who was dangling from a balcony analogous almost bravery has been rewarded with an offer of fast track french citizenship and a visit with the french president. with no thought for his own safety mamadou kasama begins to scale the facade of this apartment building in paris above him and shell tangles from a ledge and a neighbor looks on helplessly unable to reach the little boy using his hands feet and sheer determination to get some of whose unself from balcony to balcony. within a minute the migrant from mali has reached and saved the four year old boy who was crying and had to ingest it. no wonder kasam is being compared to the fictional hearer spite of and and now he's been personally thanked and on it by french president and you michael. so i came out and i saw

a child in the full face floor i didn't think about myself or to you know. i ran across the road to save him. you. know the moment you kasama i was said to be living illegally in france he has to be given french citizenship and he's been awarded for his courage. i'm very happy as is the first time ever the go anything like this before say thank you. wish you. back outside the apartment and neighbors can't believe dishonest bravery. because now you have because it was impressive it's not something that you see every day and that's why people were impressed he said when he came from far away to rescue someone he comes from here. for us in the neighborhood it's something that makes us very happy. and to make the most of his climbing and rescuing skills to some is also landed himself

a job to whacking with the fire brigade. ard for more on this story now we want to go to paris where our correspondent lisa lewis is on the story for us lisa we know that not everyone is happy with this all the has been bestowed on mr solomon tell us about that. well what happens is that i think it's fair to say that people here almost everybody or everybody is actually happy that he will get french citizenship but what they're actually criticizing is that is that president in mind because trying to seen the limelight from this hero whereas at the same time he's government is pushing through a very controversial and tough immigration law that will make the situation for other migrants like him a lot more difficult here in france yet and i mean begs the question so do immigrants have to perform heroic acts to secure

a residency permit or citizenship. well that's exactly the question because it when you look at it many people have gone through similar things like him he arrived in italy a few years back after having left his home country money having gone through various countries african countries on a very dangerous journey through libya among other things other countries and then he got here hoping that france would offer him a future and if that hadn't happened if you had safe that before you know boy you know parity is with his father again he wouldn't have got the chance this opportunity so many people are now saying why are you giving i mean we understand that you're giving this man this chance but you you should take take in more people who've also face also faced very difficult things over the correspondent lisa was almost word force in paris tonight lisa thank you. art sports news now the fallout from liverpool's the champions league final the field saturday
