a tiny electronic component leading to a staggering forty billion dollars being wiped off its value shares were down more than five percent after a supply award of drastically lowered shipments of laser diodes used in the i phones facial recognition technology investors became nervous and that's been troubling markets in asia with technology shares among the biggest losers the nikkei is down two percent hong kong and singapore also in the red with only shanghai trading flat. well and here in europe all eyes are on rome and brussels the deadline for italy to present a revised budget plan ends today the e.u. is worried about plans by italy's question government to take out more debt to pay for expensive election campaign promises now rome is planning big cuts in taxes to boost growth but the e.u. says that's not acceptable given italy's enormous mountain of debt the biggest in

real terms in europe actually italy however is the euro zone's third largest economy and the second largest manufacturer in europe but despite the country's potential italian economic growth has been weak and it's been lagging behind used average new government hopes the tax cuts will change that. more debt could have caused jeopardize italy's credit worthiness and even put to the entire eurozone at risk earlier we spoke to german economy stupid stock the e.c.b. former chief economist and i asked him what was likely to happen next here's what he told us at a certain point in time there will be a showdown the question is whether the government will hit the wall with the u. commission or other european institutions or with the markets i personally expect that the you with situations will stand firm not to give you know at this stage at least second that. rating downgrades will follow and credit

spreads will widen further so in the end the italian government will have no choice than to soften its stance to soften its position and to police to an extent to avoid the escalation of the financial crisis. if it's only going bankrupt. you know i hope that this can be avoided this would be the worst case. i hope that the signals coming from european peers from other european or euro area member states but also from other european institutions like the e.c.b. president draghi was very outspoken in his recent press conference that italy cannot expect any support coming from d.c. b. it is not even within the men date of the e.c.b. to finance the fiscal deficits so i think the the messages coming from the piazza futilely pretty clear but i personally expect that markets will behave more fiercely and signal to italy that it is

a dead end in continuing this way of policing making. let's just remember that italy's two point three trillion euros national debt war of greece youth unemployment is high i did tell him shaky so how are italians dealing with a looming crisis in stride next report shows. in milan there is little sign of the economic crisis that supposedly small think that there's no shortage of urban development projects for example one reason why giovanni buono had no qualms about returning to the northern italian city after spending years abroad. is my impression is that the country and milan in particular is flourishing in terms of business but also in other ways so there's a lot going on in the city and it's rejuvenating itself. that he told.

the start up heads was founded two years ago in madrid that it's been in milan for a year now in the city's booming financial technology district here he's meeting business partners to present his crowdfunding real estate financing model which gets small scale investors involved in property management and development the concept has garnered positive reactions when he meets with italian investors bono says he finds that italy's reputation is worse than the reality on the ground. the last. one factor that surprised us was that is taught in clients invest more on average than in spain. so despite the talk of a crisis here families seem to be wealthier. i mean. my joy division was about. but that's the view in this city when it comes to rice or livestock and loot is less optimistic former french. is struggling with cheap

produce from asia his view of the state of the italian economy and agriculture is far less rosy than in the financial center in the long run. because of that i'm not all that i am or we struggle with high wages in italy. and in addition we have a bloated bureaucracy that we have to obey that makes our lives very difficult. problems that have been around for quite some time but now the country's new populist government plans to significantly boost public spending and to set on a collision course with the e.u. . the politicians are always promising the great things and coming up with great solutions to problems but they're ultimately unrealistic or only partially applicable because in part of that. i don't think they'll go too far they're making a lot of noise but just enough to get people's attention. with over sixty

governments since the end of the second world war italians are slow to get worked up about new policies now wait and see what happens next. it is a reminder of the top stories we're following for you. israeli warplanes have struck dozens of time gets throughout the gaza strip after palestinian militants in gaza five hundreds of rockets at israel violence follows a botched israeli military raising sunday united nations is appealing for restraint from both sides. you're watching news coming to live from berlin well coming up at the top of the hour.
