prime minister designate carlo call to delhi 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 the may not even be sworn in and president. 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 choler qatar that he met with the president and told him about the current situation of the two will meet again on wednesday morning. the body with. 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 the earlies 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 mattison 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 have. they haven't at all over night because everybody is expecting that really it's simply going to hand back to mandate he would really hate to leave the city of spoiling his own good name if he held on because all the big political parties in parliament here behind us yesterday told him we do not want you not even fox italia

the 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 back the mandate and sort of step away. yeah and speaking about stepping away we have to turn to the 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 are of the populist threats to the europe as we know it to the european institutions the european project is taken extremely seriously here in brussels also regarding the euro currency of course. interesting on his interview actually describe the the cause of the disease if you want to call it that way accurately by saying that for years national governments have nationalized

successes and they have europeanized problems and so that image of the euro cracked 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 the line of not interfering international politics in order to provide no grist to the mills of the euro skeptic populists and derek you know you mentioned that statement there by going to a singer and i'd actually like to play it for our viewers because it is a statement that has an inflamed tensions even further there in italy budget commissioner going to a ticker 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 us have a listen. my concern and my expectation is that the coming weeks will show. that the developments in italy's markets its 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 big 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 think it. 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 a time to populists on the left and right and the responsibility in government. and that was the is budget commissioner speaking exclusively to those statements 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 has been a part of this was really like throw a can of oil into a campfire that's already 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 the reactions came from materials salvini the leader of the league or let's hear to what he had to say. even difficult 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 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 italians who not to vote for. and it's a good 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 being 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 i'll turn to you i mean doesn't this just highlight now the north south divide here in 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 what 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 of euro

drat stick tating things on june a member states there's a real dilemma you really for the european institution of the moment is a very has been supporting for the past two years italy in order to avoid the populace such as we've seen that in these recent elections even when member states rejected completely the idea for instance in the reference regarding refugees the relocation of refugees when they rejected this idea the european 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 criticized in this way. with the view from brussels and barber of asal with the latest from rome thank you to both of you. and we'd like to bring you some breaking news now just coming in we are hearing that officials in kabul say that loud explosions and heavy gunfire have been heard near the afghan interior ministry

that's according to reports from reuters there citing police sources there a gun battle reportedly underway at the building located near or at the city's airport and we'll bring you the latest details here on as they come in again a developing situation as we mentioned officials in kabul saying loud explosions and heavy gunfire near the interior ministry in the meantime would like to bring you some other stories that have been making news around the world because officials in belgium say that the man who killed three people in the city of nias on tuesday had killed a man the previous day the shooter who had reportedly just been released from prison was killed in a shootout with police. palestinian militants launched overnight missile attacks at southern israel this after the. militants fired dozens of border shells at southern israel on tuesday wounding three israeli soldiers it's the heaviest barrage since twenty fourteen most of the shells were intercepted by israeli air defenses. and u.s. television network a.b.c. has canceled a reboot of the popular t.v.

sitcom roseanne after the show's star pulled out a tweet that has widely slammed. rather been widely slammed as racist roseanne barr compared a prominent obama adviser an african-american political activist to the planet of the apes films in a tweet posted on monday. moscow is rejecting ukrainian allegations that it was behind the killing of a prominent russian journalist an outspoken critic of president vladimir putin. was shot dead on tuesday in the ukrainian capital kiev ukraine's prime minister accused moscow of involvement in the killing in a post on facebook but janko 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 saying that he was shot in his apartment in kiev he was later rushed to the hospital but died of his wounds while in the. spring indeed there was an economy who was following the story for us live from kiev this morning and as we

just heard one of russia's best known war correspondents what more can you tell us about his life and his work nic. good morning sarah well a cut above chain co was someone who had seen war firsthand he had served in the russian army during the chechen was the one nine hundred ninety s. and then as you said become a very prominent war reporter someone who also had reports very extensively and critically of russia's role in the syria conflict and eastern ukraine thing that came to a head in late twenty sixteen when he used the opportunity when a russian military plane taking musicians to entertain the troops in syria came down he took that opportunity to remind his readership of the civilian casualties of russia's bombing campaign in aleppo something that i mean for huge criticism of home he became for a time public enemy number one is if you like in many programming media he felt under threat he said that he received threats to his life his family's life that he even felt scared leaving home without

a flak jacket on that he would get friends to accompany him home and that was the the moment the prompted him to leave and he ended up stations in prague and israel here in kiev where he continued where he was generous with quite a big audience on facebook mainly back in russia but also i don't. and now the real question is you know who done it who murdered this individual what is the latest on the investigation there in ukraine. so far we have received from police forces very quickly a sketch of the regime saillant who this person was and who ordered this killing that we have yet to hear but you really get a sense from ukraine authorities that they are in a rush to get results and to really be following the smoking gun as it were in previous case we had a russian just publish an image who was killed in two and sixteen still no probs in that investigation but all the signs here that the ukrainian government really wants to prove a link that they've been employing to russia to really make clear that they're

doing their best to get out of this. connelly but the latest from kiev thank you. tend to face now monica jones is here and we're talking trade we're talking trade sarah the u.s. wants to go ahead with planned import tariff against china after all because that is a reversal of the soften position that trump administration has recently taken during 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 followed criticism in the u.s. that china was getting the better deal the u.s. originally announced the tariffs as retaliation for chinese infringement of american intellectual property well and all that as financial markets are still reeling from the political turmoil in italy now there's renewed straight uncertainty let's talk about all that with our man of the frankfurt stock exchange

con about bush and so what does this reversal in china mean for that deadline that we have here in the europe with the e.u. u.s. trade talks. well i want to cover all financial people it is incredibly difficult to price this risk you know today at a meeting of the o.e.c.d. in paris very important policymakers from both the united states and europe wilbur ross sits in. our minister of economics peter the french minister with all of them they all will get together and they all will also be talking about those steel and albanian tariffs where the americans you know the europeans a reprieve until the end of this week but given the permanent changing of mind by the trump administration you know this way one day that way the other day it's incredibly difficult to have those negotiations and of course even more difficult

to predict what the outcome will be and this causes a lot of the jitters on the markets right now so maybe it's even less uncertain to focus your minds on italy. well yes it's really is another factor very difficult to evaluate the fact or call that causing jitters today there is a bit of a recovery on the stock markets here in frankfurt especially also in the land where the losses yesterday were quite significant the euro dollar exchange rate is also up on the bond markets well the spread between the italian the german government bonds is narrowing a little bit you know the spread is also an indicator for the jitters on the bond markets but i would say that bond traders remain on high alert also because we have an auction coming up of new italian government bonds of course everyone is.

considering this major topic something that's difficult to predict the outcome is on everyone's minds and you will keep an eye on that one for sure for us from the glistening front for thank you so much. well at least greece looks on track for steady growth again in twenty seven thousand the economy expanded by one point four percent and this year the o.e.c.d. expects growth of two percent given those figures athens could soon exit to the international bailout program by the e.u. the e.c.b. and the i.m.f. the current food aid package totals eighty six billion euros and it will run out in august twenty eighth in a preliminary forecast suggests that the greece's debt burden will reach around three hundred fifty billion euros this year but the economy is on the mend that means unemployment has dropped to below twenty one percent many greeks however work in low paid part time jobs and also taxes are high while pensions and salaries have

fallen twenty to forty percent so the economic recovery has yet to reach average greeks. apparently is kook lee's starts his shift in a restaurant on the island of lesbos. he's working as a barista even though he's a trained educator. that is the president has been the state isn't taking any more applications for teaching jobs one of the that's why i have to work here like i still need to make a living there was i'm not embarrassed to do this but i prefer to work in my chosen profession but it's still. low wage jobs in restaurants or call centers are about the only jobs available in greece even though unemployment has technically fallen by eight percent business journalist notorious notaries however is skeptical about these jobless figures. first of all wages are much lower than before the crisis and it's these secondly these are alternate forms of employment either part time or

on call and thus paid as such it to fill these jobs are recorded statistically as proper work. but the government considers this a success story and athens points to the fact that the economy is growing. because not the o.t.s. also believes things are finally improving his glazier business struggled through the economic crisis the last few years were so bad his orders dropped by half. he was only able to keep his twenty three skilled employees by reducing their hours but he needs more investment capital apiece to grow his business. from the minority. the problem is that we can't direct profits into investment for the company because we have to pay operating costs taxes and social security contributions but only dispersed greece has raised tax rates to generate more money for its coffers but that's put many out of business and choked investment.

because now the o.t.s. is hoping to grow again with the help of foreign investors. he's waiting for permits from the government so he can be an example of a real success story coming out of greece. the europeans who move to other parts of the block for a better paid work the european parliament has approved new rules to ensure they don't get exploited because often the pay is the know what that it should be and that brings down the going rates angering locals as well. postered workers from countries like bulgaria come to germany or friends with the hope of earning more than they could back home but often they only end up being paid low wages also undermining the local working conditions now the e.u. parliament has decided that must come to an end from a twenty twenty legislation will guarantee equal pay for all and travel and housing

will have to be paid by the employer. you will you'll make can't be asked anything you want to establish a clear political line saying that wages must be fair equal pay for equal work that means we have equality and justice for european citizens that is what we want to bring about yes it joost he still won't be any good news to a cure. the law aims to protect around two million people who come from poor e.u. countries to work in wealthier ones in germany alone that's around four hundred thousand people with the majority coming from poland but not everyone's in favor of the new rules criticism has come from german employers among others who say they're concerned they won't be able to afford hiring workers all right hi take doesn't prevent sholto water shortage that was what i want exactly i mean this is really fundamental problem right that you know we have to come up with maybe a really basic solution for in fact because the indian city of bangalore has grown

into a massive global tech hub as monica just told us but it success story has not come without problems many now worry that the sprawling city could soon run out of water some are looking to india's pre-industrial past for solutions correspondent. and sonia funny car of the support. bangalore india's silicon valley. high flying i.t. hub for multinational corporations located 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 ramakrishna he's a successful eighty 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 them when the more but the expectation was definitely. connection this 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 war wells as deep as fifteen hundred feet the practice is depleting the local water reserves . leading 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 i t community these are the people

with the longest and sometimes the why is this distort the problem definition to sell it to the resources when you go it's not so equally as the issue and i look asian is the issue which would come with infrastructure form 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's new wave of bore wealth they don't go as 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 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 think we should use. the correct over if we keep using bore wells the city will run out of water. alongside water conservation as 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 joining bore wells deep into the ground and the campaign aims to have a million functional open wells by the time it's done. ramakrishnan the community he belongs to represent a more sustainable approach to water conservation and if bangalore draws upon their traditional expertise it might just dam its water crisis before the taps run dry. amount to sports news and to a place where too much rain has been causing problems because rain delay is slowed down first round action at the french open on tuesday a play eventually resumed men's world number one rafael nadal big money straight

speaking a fashion to a cautionary fashion tale from the united states where a bride to be was so certain that her husband's team would lose this year's super bowl that she made what proved to be a very dangerous that jennifer sullivan and patrick hanks she basically said that if he could wear his philadelphia eagles jersey at the wedding if they won and after they shocked the new england patriots back in february and did exactly backwards that is exactly what he did. she would those howls of laughter and some and i felt chants from their guests in pennsylvania that is not black tie attire for all i think i mean time just a quick reminder of the top story that we've been following for you here in reuters news agency reporting that italy's populist alliance is again trying to form a coalition government after initial efforts fail it's being reported that the n.t.'s talisman five star movement and the legal could widen their coalition you're
