business worth billions but. it is the sports world and. starting june sixth t w. this is the. dead man walking yesterday he was declared a murdered man. but today. alive and well in the news conference is supposed killing was faked to foil an actual murder a murder plot against him we'll get the latest from here also coming up italy's

prime minister designate talks of new possibilities emerging to form a government in the country's political crisis the two main populist parties are back at the drawing board trying to work out a possible compromise. it's good to have you with us we start tonight with a story of murky political intrigue and a stunning twist at the end here is what happened yesterday a prominent russian journalist was reportedly shot dead in the ukrainian capital kiev authorities there blamed russia because of the dead man but janko was a strong critic of the crim today he showed up alive and well at the press conference his death a fake and here's why. back from the dead journalist. enters

a press conference held by the ukrainian intelligence service the alleged attack that had supposedly left him dead staged i want to apologize to my wife for the hell she's gone through over the past two days. on tuesday evening ukrainian police and. had been shot dead outside his home in kiev. and the russian born journalist has been working as a presenter in ukraine since last year. prior to that he worked out a newspaper critical of the kremlin he left russia after receiving threats the news of his apparent murder appeared plausible. intelligence agency said staging his death was necessary in order to arrest the actual people behind the assassination plot according to ukrainian intelligence that's what happened on wednesday this man is said to have received forty thousand dollars from russia to plant goes murder in ukraine. much of it presented documents

with the photo from my passport this photo is only available in my passport and at the russian passport office. and that made it obvious that this information came from russia still on the stand for months a year just as she plans for the assassination of some thirty people had reportedly been made. now some but it's it mainly involves journalists and opposition figures and writers who publicly criticize the russian leadership. a russian foreign ministry spokeswoman wrote it was good news that chen goes alive but that the whole story appears to be a propaganda tool. all right we want to get both sides on this story this evening i want to bring in our emily sure when she is in the russian capital moscow and nick connelly is in kiev force this evening nic let me start with you this is an extraordinary turn of events for the day he emerged alive and well and he said that

he had no choice but to fake his own death while getting brant yes this is been a story is going to kept us gasping all day he's version of events and the authorities here say that this was necessary to be able to. prove the organizes responsibility for this it was their connections to russia so by carrying out this attack. and allowing the appearance of start coming out they were hoping to provoke the organized religion with this alleged attack to incriminate themselves basically and they say that they now have that evidence and they have detained someone they say ukraine sits and they say is the organize of these attacks but they've yet to prove that direct links to moscow but they say they have that proof ok so we've we've got one person then who is in custody tonight emily let me ask you from the get go russia has denied any involvement does the kremlin

feel vindicated tonight. well i absolutely think they do and we've seen some official statements come out as well from the foreign ministry for example they call this whole thing an anti russian provocation they also called it propaganda that was used to confuse the entire international community and also we've heard some statements from parliamentarians including the head of the international affairs committee the onion slutsky he said also called this an a provocation and he also compared this case to the script paula case the poisoning of a former russian spy in england which the international community accused russia of and which russia has always tonight this whole thing really plays into the russian narrative. going forward and in this case as well they can always say look you know

you accused us before and this turned out to be this very strange twisted plot and even going forward if there are some links that the ukrainian side presents in this case russia will certainly use this whole for oil to plot today this whole twist of events to kind of show that the ukrainian side isn't very legitimate in. you cover the story on the daily basis russia is constantly saying that there are plants around the world particularly in the west to discredit it do you think that regardless of the arrests that are made by ukrainian officials that the kremlin is going to stay on this message and say we have nothing to do with it everything that's being reported is not true. i mean obviously brand i can't say what they will say but if i were to guess i think that they will likely stick to this plot and i can only assure you that i've heard

the words russophobia campaign cited in all kinds of cases from doping to the screen fall case i just mentioned to the the chemical weapons attacks in syria. which were reportedly carried out by the syrian side a close freshen ally so i think they will stick to that narrative that this is a russophobe account and. reporters without borders today condemned the bob go operation they've called it a stunt would you say this is evidence that ukraine is losing the public relations battle. well but this is a very interesting story because on the one hand you have internationally a lot of pushback against this stunt a lot of frustration as you said there were calls without borders but also the overseas media freedom saw coming out with very strong words against this lots of

international leaders who expressed their condolences will be seen now feel like they have egg on their face we even saw ukraine's foreign minister talking about this on the floor of the united nations in new york yesterday internally though this is playing very well they've had a lot of support from commentators who aren't necessarily always on the government side seeing the example of a successful operation for ukraine's security services at the moment i think they think still the ukrainian authorities think they can get more good out of this than bad they say they still have more evidence to provide as to the connections between this plot and russia they say this wasn't the only killing that was being planned they say up to thirty others were in the spotlight over this so so far in kiev it seems like they still think this is a winner we heard from the present start saying that this was. a birthday for ukraine is it worth it ukraine's finally been able to protect itself and citizens so one of optimism from ukraine's leaders tonight yeah it's amazing the two you

know completely opposite narratives that we've got in this story tonight our nick connelly on the story for us in kiev and really sure we're on the story in moscow the both of you you thank. here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world a senior north korean official is in new york for talks on salvaging a possible summit between kim jong il and us president. last week trump canceled a meeting set for june twelfth in singapore but now the white house says it expects that summit to go ahead. staying with the u.s. president donald trump has signed legislation that makes it possible for gravely ill patients to try experimental treatments supporters of the right to try it all say it offers hope for people facing terminal illnesses critics warn that patients may be exploited by sellers offering expensive and ineffective they are. european union officials have been holding last minute talks with u.s. trade officials in paris in an attempt to stop washington from imposing new tariffs

the e.u. has threatened to retaliate if the u.s. imposes tariffs on european still and. the trump administration is expected to announce its decision this friday. well now to italy markets today were all they were alarmed over the political stalemate they are they call them today after prime minister designate carlo calls are rarely said that new possibilities had emerged to form a government no details have come out just yet but the two main populous parties are reportedly trying to work out a compromise after initial efforts failed last week. one step forward two steps back just as it looked like italy would finally get a government it all fell apart the new prime minister designate carlo quarterly is bouncing between parliament and president simply trying to wrangle together a temporary cabinet meanwhile on the streets of rome confusion and disappointment abound. i am worried by the direction things are moving in and it seems extremist

against europe. so. there's a sense of confusion right now because there are serious problems to resolve which have more to do with italy on the problems of italians than the wider problem of europe. living with the politicians who are trying to help people have their hands tight because the stronger political forces when. you go. to populist party is a five star movement and the league made better than expected gains in the election but were unable to form a government some reports say they're now trying to find a new power sharing compromise but more than anything new elections look likely. you know you did look as if i want to say two things we still want to go back to the polls as soon as possible but we are willing to collaborate including with the

president. we want to be coherent but collaborative in order to resolve the current crisis is certainly not a crisis we caused. the euro skeptic stance of these two leading parties has rattled markets over fears of a possible it's a legs it from the e.u. . is on the story for us tonight in rome she joins us now good evening to you barbara so i mean it's amazing what we've seen happen in just a few days now these populist parties are said to be back to square one italy's five star movement giving it another go what in the world has changed. everything everything changes every two hours here because we started out as a this morning and then we're going to be to see what are we talking about what we saw was sort of the parade of the main actors in this. this comical opera in rome marching between the palaces the palace of keiji behind me where the prime

minister is residing at the pub not so with the president a sitting which is just ten minutes up the road and column in which is just a few steps down and so they've been making the rounds and talking behind closed doors in trying to figure something out and then every two hours they say we're going to have new elections and they said no country really is going to step down and they finally say let's give it more time let's not rush and he's saying you know no hurry in no hurry and no real solutions what we do know is that at the center of all this you've got you are skeptics and you've got pro european union forces that are apparently you know walked of the who are held divided by zero is the country. the country is of course divided however the populace are absolutely having the upper hand be under no illusions there they are will be winning the same maybe it will when this game this week or maybe if new elections come up in the fall but it will happen because they did majority in the country has

really decided they want to wipe out the old political class they were nothing to do anymore with social democrats was perilous kone and the likes they want somebody else and the two populist parties are embodying those different and new forces and people who really want this and they're going to vote for them again so it will even either be now or it will be if it later and what we also see is a power struggle between the leg of the right wing extreme party and the five star movement which is sort of more like it being spanked and that is winning that battle for power because they have the stronger people and was much to a salvini they have somebody who is a very experienced a demagogue and who is really catching the mood in the country and he is winning the fight for the soul of the italian people yeah i heard one commentator today say how do you say drawing the swamp in italian are all pervasive on the story tonight in roll barbara thank you. and you're up to date with the news for all of us here
