we're just learning this new drug to feel. abandoned or and. this is the w.'s live from by spain's new prime minister compared to lead a minority government socialist president sanchez who's warning to now he faces been the challenger alone years leader has also taken campus today and to torah is calling on sanchez to join fresh independence times over so coming up it was on

the ban all of that now it's back on again u.s. president donald trump says the music with north korea's media will take place on the twelfth of june and also bridging the plans that announcement offers a high level north korean envoy met with songs at the white house. kind of there is prime minister makes a major focus as my visits prime truong to the vatican and they're going to bring big this has been variously you know refined crucifixes be displayed in public buildings and comes into effect. the abandon. plans. i'm helena humphrey you could join me spain has a new prime minister who will lead a minority government paid the most on chose the leader of spain socialist fasi took the oath of office before king philippe he will now lead the country off to ousting is conservative. in

a no confidence motion in parliament but some says well he'll need the support of catalan separatists a government and then you need agreement order was also sworn in today urged sanchez to discuss independent to his region. earlier i spoke to said an endo of a year spin professor of political science at the autonomous university of madrid and i asked him how stable this new government is likely to be. i think it will be a highly unstable government you have to decide so the socialists only eighty five out of three hundred fifty. of the spanish. parliament so it will have to be everything will have to be negotiated anything he wants to do will we need a consensus over keys. at least for your different political groups and amongst them as you said before the. asparagus and the

basque nationalists so it will be easy and what does that all mean then for catalonia because the catalan regional government was also sworn in today ending that seven month takeover by spain's central authorities the new catalan president can thought of course of the separatists and he says he's ready to talk to sanchez what concessions will sanchez make. why i don't think he needs to do to bring in any any concession i think the most important issue now is to to restart compositions to start to negotiate to in some time to to introduce a new atmosphere of understanding which is something that we have been lacking throughout all those those years and under the governmental for a holiday so i think you know the most think the most important thing that has happened through this happening through this discussion of this process has

precisely to do with catalonia because the whole the whole atmosphere has changed and i think there will be a chance to come to an agreement of course not. this is just what you will probably but you know and certain time i don't think this government is going to this is going to give any concession because. those scientists already stated that that he will he will keep a constitution i mean he has now that's one thing he can do but in you know the what was needed was someone capable off entering into positions with the with it i don't govern that and i think this is this is a great step forward if we know that the the bigger picture for europe santas is pro that we know that he wants to increase spending which will challenge the blocs fiscal rules say the european union be worried it'll. no i don't think they think

that the main difference between italy's new government and spain has to do with that and how that there are no political parties and i guess the you're rolling in spain melody and you know that problem on the one hand and you have asked this. the head it has said to you was a budget that has been already approved by by the popular government so and if that budget introduces all the restrictions you know the process. by the european union started that sense i don't think he has much he would not have to introduce social policies and might increase spending. for me autonomy's university of madrid speaking to me earlier that and now some of the other stories making news around the world. media report in the us a tech giant google will end a project with the pentagon on using almost the full intelligence of the military the maven project used ai to interpret videos of improved drone targeting google's
