9:02 am
to end italy's political stalemate prompts talks that fresh elections could be on the way italy's prime minister designate carto alley is set to meet the country's president again today but a breakthrough is unlikely after the two main anti establishment parties rejected his cabinet picks on tuesday media reports say that cotto delhi may not even use sworn in and that the president's tele may resort to snap elections as early as july to end the chaos confusion among the waiting press at rome's presidential palace would italy's prime minister designate carlo cut to really present his cabinet list. is simply came to tell you the prime minister designate. met with the president and turned him about the current situation the two will meet again on wednesday morning you do it. the body with you know
9:03 am
the statement left journalists perplexed. we have been told everything is pushed over until wednesday obviously this list is much more complicated to fill than we imagine this morning so everything is delayed. the purpose of the meeting was for president. to approve cut their release a list of ministers since that didn't happen italians are left in political limbo once again. and we have team coverage now let's bring in barbara vessel who has the latest from rome and georg mattis is standing by in brussels and barbara i'd like to begin with you because italians waking up this morning to no government and the prospects they haven't improved either half a. they haven't at all over night because everybody use expecting that really is simply going to hand back the mandate it would really faintly be said of spoiling his own good name if he held on because all the big political parties in parliament you behind us yesterday told him we do not want you
9:04 am
not even. any party and not even the p.d. the socialist said we will carry you for a while everybody way and said we don't want this interim government and so he hardly has another choice but to hand-pick the mandate and sort of step away. yeah and speaking about stepping away we have to turn to action from the investment community because really all of this uncertainty has rocked the markets in a way that is not really typical also georg because you know the european union for its part how concerned is it that the future of the euro itself could be at stake here. ever since brics it's our of the populace threats to the europe as we know it to the european institution the european project is taken extremely seriously here in brussels also regarding the euro currency of course and interesting on his interview actually describe the the cause of the disease if you want to call it
9:05 am
that way accurately by saying that for years the national governments have nationalized successes and they have europeanized problems and so that image of the euro craft elite steering the boat here in brussels is something that the european institutions want to get rid off and that is why they are so keen on sticking to that line of not interfering international politics in order to provide no grist to the mills of euro skeptic populists and georg you know you mentioned that statement there by going to your and i'd actually like to play it for our viewers because it is a statement that has an flames tensions even further there in italy that used budget commissioner going to a to go as you mentioned advising italians that it would be dangerous to vote for populist and here's the most controversial part of his exclusive interview with him is have a listen. my concern and my expectation is that
9:06 am
the coming weeks will show. that the developments in italy's markets. bones and its economy. will become so far reaching that this might be signal to voters not to elect populists on the right and the left. a lot of to endure holding for a market shock that will persuade italians not to vote for the populace after all that's a calculation. even now developments on bond markets the market value of banks and italy's economy in general have darkened noticeably and negatively. i get we get. that has to do with the possible formation of a government i can only hope that this will play a role in the election campaign and send a signal not populists on the left and right and the responsibility in government. and that was the is budget commissioner speaking exclusively to those statements
9:07 am
really making waves there in italy where people do not like to be told how they should vote the reaction has been swift and it has been fierce hasn't barbara. this was really like throw a can of oil into camp fire that's already you sort of raging because acting as remarks were seen particularly as interference from germany and the populace have been sort of joking the fires of anti german sentiment here for some weeks already particularly the right wing extremists were talking about the euro being a cage that germany you made to keep italy imprisoned and stuff like that and so the fiercest of all directions came from salvini the leader of the league or let's hear to what he had to say. but can you imagine such disdain for democracy for freedom for the free will of sixty million italians and on top of that this is
9:08 am
coming from a man who wasn't even elected and who represents a power like germany and the party of angle america who governs the e.u. and they are telling a challenge to not to vote for. and it's in there for his part he has actually apologized in the wake of all this and i'd just like to read it for our viewers he said the following i fully respect the will of voters in a left right or center and in every country by referring to the actual market developments in italy i did not mean to be disrespectful and i apologize for this but they are going to turn to you i mean doesn't this just highlight now the north south divide here and europe and isn't it what everyone was really thinking. i don't think the question here really is whether market pressure will play a role in how voters will act and in italy it's rather the question who has made that statement and who is potentially fueling here this picture of euro kratz
9:09 am
dictating things on june eighth member states there's a real dilemma here really for the european institution of the moment is they have been supporting for the past two years italy in order to avoid a populace such as we've seen in these recent elections even one member states rejected completely the idea for instance in the rest regarding refugees the relocation of refugees when they rejected this idea that you can commission was still making proposals for a mandatory quota that could be read relocating refugees away from italy in order to help the country and now this is a particularly bitter aftertaste for european institutions that they were criticised in this way back to us with the view from brussels and barber of asal with the latest from rome thank you to both of you. ukrainian authorities are investigating the killing of a prominent russian journalist and an outspoken critic of president vladimir putin
9:10 am
he was shot dead on tuesday in the ukrainian capital kiev arkadi was one of russia's best known war correspondents he had left russia fearing for his life after criticizing russian policy in ukraine and syria police say that go was shot at his apartment in t.f. he was later rushed to the hospital but died of his wounds while in the ambulance. and connally is following developments live from kiev this morning so we know nick was one of russia's best known war correspondents as we just heard what more can you tell us about his life and his work. good morning sarah world who was himself somewhat a military man someone who had fought in chechen wars and then became a war correspondent but someone who was definitely at loggerheads with the russian government law and the russian government press someone who was very vocal in his criticism of russian actions in syria and the city in eastern ukraine he had left
9:11 am
russia in early twenty seventeen to go to involved into in a controversy over his response to the downing of a russian airliner taking russian military a large say taking a military orchestra to troops in syria he used the opportunity to remind his readership of the human cost of russian bombing campaign in aleppo and they brought in him in for huge criticism and he was for a time almost a republican i'm enemy number one for a certain russian program in media he felt and he said more than once that he felt afraid for his life that he felt afraid coming home that he would also friends to accompany him when he went home that he wouldn't leave the house and certain days without flapjack it so this is something that really was a big story in russia and that had been because as he had adepts a life here in crane but he continued being a journalist it had a big regional facebook and the question now is really who done it of course we know that ukraine's foreign minister suggesting that he sees a russian pattern that's a direct quote he actually use that terminology. he's blaming moscow isn't me.
9:12 am
clearly there's no talking around that he was at the u.n. yesterday by chance and huge opportunity to level these accusations at moscow direct he said that moscow was not. was willing to to use any means including political motives to destabilize situation in ukraine. it wasn't the only case there was also the case of publisher and that's another russian journalist who was killed here two years ago and killed his home to a big number of russian immigrants most of those obscene direct opposition to the putin government so there is fear here today from other people other members of the emigre community they aren't safe here but given this huge international interest in this story we have seen best cases moving on pretty quickly where you already have a sketch of the alleged killer and ukraine now is really feeling the heat and really feels seemingly feels like they need to be fast results this investigation to
9:13 am
really show that they're doing their best to get to the bottom of this and to really achieve the blame for this killing and as that investigation kicks off gets under way into the killing of this prominent russian journalist nick calio we thank you so much for bringing us up to date on the latest. and alex get a quick check of some other stories that have been making news around the world a close associate of north korean leader kim jong un has been spotted in beijing on his way to a meeting with u.s. officials in new york can young chose trip comes ahead of the planned summit between kim jong un and us president donald trump he is the highest level north korean official to travel to the united states since two thousand. french police have begun evacuating hundreds of migrants living in a makeshift camp in paris the migrants from the millionaire camp next to the channel in north east paris will be escorted to temporary accommodation centers
9:14 am
riot police were also on standby as the evacuation took place. and palestinian militants launched overnight missile attacks on southern israel this after the militants fired dozens of mortar shells at southern israel on tuesday wounding three israeli soldiers it is the heaviest barrage since two thousand and fourteen and most of the shells were intercepted by israeli anti air defenses. you're watching d.w. news still to come on the program india's high flying i t hub faces a water shortage could the solution lie in traditional well dick and techniques. but first we're heading over to monica jones and we're talking trade absolutely sarah certainly the united states in its own way as if local markets don't have enough to worry about the u.s. now wants to go ahead with planned imports tariff against china after all and that is a reversal of the softened position the trump administration has recently taken during
9:15 am
trade negotiations with the asian powerhouse the move would impose a twenty five percent tariff on fifty billion dollars worth of chinese goods within the next month chinese trade officials said they were not surprised by the reversal which follows criticism in the united states that china was getting the better deal the u.s. originally announced terrace as rich. and for china's infringement of american intellectual property. well you know the straits tensions between the u.s. and china only added to the current mayhem on financial markets still reeling from the political turmoil in italy which could be facing snap elections analysts warn that europe may well be on the brink of another euro crisis and all that uncertainty has created a sell off of stocks across the globe japan's nikkei market was down one point five percent joining losses across asia the declines came off to sell offs in europe prompted by political turmoil in italy the prospect of new elections there and
9:16 am
crisis possibly looming in the eurozone. italy's lead index temporarily dropped by almost four percent on tuesday at the end of trading it stood at minus two point seven percent losses in madrid were almost as high the german dax index also lost ground one point five percent. bank stocks in particular were on a downhill right but it's about more than stock markets warns italy's central bank it to these future within the e.u. can only be secure as a reliable partner. we have to keep in mind the grave risk of losing irreplaceable trust in a short period of time. the trust in the strength of a country that is aside from the petty and unbalanced judgments is great both are an economic and civic level.
9:17 am
but it's not only italy that needs the e.u. the european union stability relies on the financial stability of its member to the south. let's talk about that now with cast the head economist at bear and bank in a london good to have you with us so well the euro zone survived a number of crises right from ireland and greece to spain and portugal so how big a threat is italy to the currency blocks stability. well it looks like it might be of the bigger crisis then what we had with greece italy is six times bigger than greece but we see it differently as an italian crisis and not the euro crisis and that's because the euro zone has enough tools to prevent contagion we have the e.c.b. we have the european stability mechanism. and all those authorities can prevent and
9:18 am
will prevent any contagion to other countries also even in the unlikely scenario that it to leave would leave what we don't expect because the majority of italians still support the euro we wouldn't expect that this would be the end of the euro because in other countries such as spain for example all the mainstream parties and eighty percent of the population behind the euro all right nevertheless italy currently rejects the e.u. austerity drive what could have brussels or perhaps also a girl in do in order to win over those anti european and to euro voters. well on the margin obviously increasing investments. by you thirty's would help but investments are mainly driven by the private sector
9:19 am
and private sector investments very much depend on economic confidence and the current political turmoil in philly doesn't really help to increase that. so there's not too much you authorities can do to help italy as long as italy is not firmly committing itself to the euro zone and the e.u. so we don't know yet how italy will play out but as you are in london i mean breaks its supporters have long said that the united kingdom won't be the only e.u. member to leave the bloc are they right. well i don't think so. most euro so and you country is still very much support the the single market and and the currency if you look at the latest europe or only to survey for example you can see that in every single country distill clear support for both the euro and the euro zone and also if you
9:20 am
look at the countries outside the or the euro zone for example the balkan countries . there are still a lot of conscious which want to join the e.u. or also the euro zone some of the eastern european countries so we still see a strong demand for the euro and the euro zone in general all right some optimists in there coming from london has an economist at bear in the bank thank you so much . all right outrage over a not very nice tweet sara absolutely no optimism here monica a whole lot of criticism in fact because u.s. television network a.b.c. has cancelled a reboot of the popular t.v. sitcom roseanne after the show's star pulled out a tweet that was widely slammed as racist roseanne barr compared to a prominent obama advisor and african-american political activists who you see there about liberty jarrett is her name she compared her to the planet of the apes
9:21 am
film in the tweet that was posted late on monday her show is currently roseanne barr show rather is one of a.b.c.'s biggest hit strong over eighteen million viewers each weekend she is also one of your brother known as one of hollywood's rare actors who is openly supportive of trump she later apologized for what she said was a bad joke but a.b.c. called the tweet quote a bore and and repugnant and pulled the show immediately. let's bring in entertainment journalist k.j. matthews who is based in los angeles and joins us now and first of all katie just put this into context for us how extraordinary is it that an established actor and t.v. star should publicly say something like this is absolutely unprecedented i'm sure you remember charlie sheen if this big fight that he had with the producers of two and a half million years ago well that fight pales in comparison to what roseanne barr did normally we're used to hearing lots of celebrities lambaste public officials
9:22 am
like president obama president trump perhaps other celebrities but rarely do you see a celebrity attack someone who is not longer or not not ever really a public official just because of their race that was really our president and i think that disney feel this crossed the line even though we know roseanne barr has a history of saying and tweeting controversial things this was enough for them and we also know that she is a big supporter of the us president of donald trump and plenty of commentators there actually blaming donald trump saying that he has normalized this sort of language we also know his preferred platform of course also twitter where roseanne barr fired out this tweet is that a fair comparison a fair assessment well i think it's because he's publicly come out supporting her saying that her show represents his base so when he says something like that and been you have roseanne barr tweeting something racist like that naturally you're going to have people making
9:23 am
a link between the two of them i'm not sure that severely but that's a link that a lot of people are out there making and wondering why so many people have embraced her and why does the even gave her a second chance to come back into reboot the popular show roseanne when they knew her history absolutely and k.j. matthews just you know perhaps a clue here is probably the ratings because the show is actually doing quite well we thank you so much for your reporting there on this from los angeles we appreciate it. well the indian city of bangalore has grown into a massive global tech but its success story has not come without problems many are now worried that the sprawling city could soon run out of water some are looking to india's pre-industrial past for solutions and you've got your correspondents ashish malhotra and sonia fall in the car of the support. bangalore india silicon valley. high flying i t hub for multinational corporations located
9:24 am
on the city's outer edges but bangalore is also home to severe water issues polluted lakes that froth over with toxic foam made up of chemicals and raw sewage and unchecked tech driven urban growth that has left many of the city's water grid . among those affected is saddam rama krishna he's a successful professional with his own company. but his apartment complex gets no piped water it's a problem faced by many in bangalore's tech community in. the fight and says their patience with civic authorities is wearing thin with me more but the expectation was definitely. connection they said destruction has grown and if it continues yes definitely i could see that people are getting on the edge. many in bangalore are now reliant on private tankers. which get their supply from bore
9:25 am
wells as deep as fifteen hundred feet the practice is depleting the local water reserves. leaving many worried the city could soon run out of the resource altogether. but conservation is vishwanath believes the situation is not so dire he's been studying bangalore's water for over thirty years and says the crisis has been blown out of proportion because of its effect on the community these are the people with the longest and sometimes the why is this distort the problem definition and set it to the resources when you go it's not so equal issue and i look asian is the issue which would come with infrastructure some of that infrastructure could lie here in traditional open wells like this one which is around one hundred years old there are approximately ten thousand of these in bangalore today and unlike the city of new wave of bore wealth they don't go as
9:26 am
deep into the ground. like bees are built and maintained by traditional well diggers like ramakrishna who lives in a village outside the city. ramakrishna is a fourth generation well digger and his community's local know how it's centuries old he believes it can be used to help tackle the city's modern day problems. earlier we used to get all our water from open wells people forgot about them but now they're becoming more aware and i think we should use. the back up if we keep using bore wells the city will run out of water. alongside water conservation is ramakrishna is now involved in a campaign to recharge the city's wells it would replenish shallow groundwater aquifers with rainwater the process is more environmentally friendly than jelling bore wells deep into the ground and the campaign aims to have a million functional open wells by the time it's done. i'm
9:27 am
a christian and the community he belongs to represent a more sustainable approach to water conservation and if bangalore draws upon their traditional expertise it might just stem its water crisis before the taps wrong dry . a quick reminder now of the top stories that we have been following for you here . after italy's prime minister designate carlos these cabinet picks were rejected by parties media reports say that snap elections could be called as early as july two and a political stalemate and ukrainian authorities are investigating the killing of. a prominent russian journalist an outspoken critic of president vladimir putin. was shot dead on tuesday at his apartment in the ukrainian capital kiev. and with that you're up to date now on news i'm sarah kelly in berlin thank you so much for watching i hope to see you again soon.
