8:01 am
germany not far from a small memorial there's not much left that marks the spot but one of the last survivors has been talking to g.w. . not exactly what happened. brian thomas thanks so much for joining us the european commission is expected to take the first step towards disciplining the italian government today over its twenty one thousand budget the commission says the budget should be cut and it's being backed by euro zone governments worried that rome's borrow and spend plans could trigger another debt crisis that would hurt them all but italy's populist government has vowed not to give in to the use demands and especially wants to defend its flagship citizen's wage for the poorest italians our correspondent went
8:02 am
to naples to find out how the faceoff is being viewed there. just south of naples twenty year old lawrence is on his way to the job center italy's new populist government has promised that this job seeker certificate could soon and him and millions of other poor italians a generous income of up to seven hundred eighty two euros a month but answer things it's unlikely he will ever see any of what's being called the citizens wage is where you would use the baby and i think in the end just a little bunch of people are going to get its. citizens wage eagerly awaited by many italians will cost billions of euros it's the most expensive item in the budget which has raised concerns in the european union that italy could soon be sowing the seeds of a financial crisis. lawrence was worried that italy's increasingly strained relationship with the e.u.
8:03 am
could play a big part in breaking up the union. yeah i think i'm worried we would be the was the. us. is really doing. is really hard hitting on the european union i'm worried about that but there are instance views put him in the minority here in the south with the wiring levels of youth unemployment most people support the government's hard stance towards the e.u. and have high hopes that the citizens wage could change their life the question is though can it really stimulate the country's economy or is it just a populist inefficient giveaway that neither italy nor the e.u. can really afford thirty two year old moto who has been without a job for years has a clear answer he supports rome picking a fight with brussels. i believe it's right to stand up to the european union. the most
8:04 am
part of france i think to comply and have left italy behind. and although i think the new government will change the situation for the better. but sooner. not far away in front of another rundown drops and in the city more unemployed neapolitans are keen to learn more about the citizens wage to support the new government. when i hope that something good could happen. i hope i hope so i trust this government i voted for the government to work otherwise we complement. good and so however isn't convinced that this government all of a citizen's wage will in any way improve his situation maybe i just have to mow. best where. it's not personally open for i'd like to say and change
8:05 am
something but it's getting harder and harder to fight. you keep looking for one if not and it's only then somewhere else in the. all in this confrontation with the italian government the european commission could impose a record fine which would be absolutely unprecedented the commission wants the italian budget cut and it's being backed by euro zone governments worried about another debt crisis one that would hurt the mall correspondent in brussels has more on that there's of course the fear that this could spiral out of control when comes the point that italy is not able to finance a refinance it's that when the spread so the surplus the risk is hopeless and telling that is too high that it could happen that it leaves not able to pay its bills to servants to service its debts and then this question is what happens then
8:06 am
europe is not willing to bail out italy like it did with greece the european central bank is not willing to buy italian bones and the consequence could be that italy is forced out of the euro zone and even out of the you and this of course would be a doomsday scenario for everybody here in brussels that was the diffused reader in brussels well we'll have more on italy's massive deficit budget and what it means for europe later in this program. it's a briton and prime minister three some may heads to brussels today as talks on britain's exit from the european union continue after agreeing a breakfast deal with european negotiators may needs the backing now of the leaders of u. member states ahead of a summit the sunday she's heading to those talks after surviving a challenge sure leadership at home for the moment at least members of may's cabinet have met for the very first time since two senior ministers resigned in protest over what they called a bracks
8:07 am
a deal that was bad for britain those resignations sparked a bid to topple may by those who also think she's given into the you their efforts failed and it is unclear if her opponents might try a new bid. now for some of the other stories making the news at this hour kremlin critics have voiced concern over the expected appointment of a russian general as president of the international police body interpol alexander pope chuck is up for election at the summit today this vote follows the disappearance of former president home way in china the u.s. and several european countries have urged interpol to pick a south korean candidate. police in kenya say gunmen have kidnapped an italian volunteer in an attack on a trading center in the coastal region of khalifi five people have been wounded detractors identity is unclear but somali based islamic militants have been blamed

8:09 am
stands clubs and sports the unavoidable local absurdity which serves as a tease for tourists these are the images the city of tijuana wants the world to see in these days more than ever. the reality is very different sheltering almost three thousand migrants from central america so called caravan migrants in the benito sports complex. but. now with the number of migrants we have in town the situation is under control and manageable corporate sing and have the support of the state police and other security agencies. control of the situation for now expect that by the end of the week an additional nine hundred migrants will have arrived in the city that influx could make conditions worst here things could
8:10 am
become unmanageable quickly a major concern not only for city officials and some locals a concern shared even by cindy and her three sisters the three young women arrived here just hours ago making their way from. thirty three days they got separated from two additional siblings and their father still cindy can't wait to get out of and into the united states. we. feel unhappy we're going to ask for asylum in the united states because he ran away from our country. and we're afraid in our country. because. we don't have work there. most of all and all we're afraid of the violence. cindy and her sisters know that asking for salim in the us is one thing but the next really qualifying for and getting it is much harder these days. everybody has god has hope . hope or not others don't want to take their chances starting the legal

8:12 am
. it's been called a slap in the face to the cia u.s. president trump siding with saudi arabia against his own intelligence agencies the cia is reportedly confident the saudi crown prince was behind the murder of writer jamal khashoggi but trump says he's not risking washington's relationship with riyadh over the matter they did make a determination. just like i said i think it was very baby maybe he did they did not make that assessment the cia is looked at it they've studied it a lot they have nothing definitive and the fact is maybe. baby did right now we have oil prices in great shape i'm not going to destroy the world economy and i'm not going to destroy the economy for our third by big for the saudi arabia so. these images show shock she entering the saudi consulate in istanbul on october
8:13 am
second just before he was murdered in saudi arabia claims it was rogue agents who killed him they say crown prince mohammed bin solomon had nothing to do with it. misha it will come up. in washington turkey's foreign minister pressed for a full accounting of the killing after talks with the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei oh. yeah it would rather be it is our right to get more information if there is an impasse all the investigation comes to a standstill or we cannot fully cooperate then we may have to apply for an international inquiry. but even amid demands to punish saudi arabia over the killing trumps comments could end the debate over how his administration will respond to the matter the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia is highly profitable with billions of dollars and arms sales every year critics say that's allowing riyadh to get away with murder.
8:14 am
well here in germany one of the law. survivors of the little known who could mark concentration camp north of berlin as been talking to d. w. about what happened there the camp was first used to punish teenage girls who failed to get in line with the nazi regime simply the thrust of being sent there was often enough to get young non conformists to think again it later became a death camp then one morning there was a military roll call and they shouted what's your name we didn't know where they were taking us. they asked us what we had done and we said nothing so the laughter was just yeah yeah they are moving it's still needs he needs a couple of the guards took me and my sister away but my mother was left alone it's too tough a concentration camp. that was the worst part. about

8:17 am
any compensation even today very little is known about. for decades. never spoke about her experiences there just fifteen years ago and nearing eighty years old she found the strength to tell her family about her time at oakham ark the shame she felt despite being a political prisoner remained with her for all those silent years the mission of their lives for all those years we thought we can't feel like this forever at some point people had to find out what happened in the camps at some point we had to let go. we have your sports now and the twenty twenty two world cup gets under way in exactly four years time and station qatar is pushing ahead with some enterprising of very expensive plans for the tournament but with time ticking away the project

8:20 am
news for germany's footballers they have missed out on being a top seed for euro two thousand and twenty qualifying this comes after poland's one one draw with portugal in the nation's league meant that the poles took the final spot in part one germany will now be a place in part two and are guaranteed one only opponent in their group. when the euro draw is made in december it's the latest setback in a woeful year for the germans after they crashed out of the world cup of the very first hurdle and were relegated in the new nations. let's get your business with kristoff now and the latest on those deep losses taking place worldwide on equity markets that's right brian there are fears that one of the longest bull markets in history so a period of rising stocks could be coming to an end in new york the dow jones industrial average and the s. and p. five hundred have now lost all of this year's gains and the slump continues into
8:21 am
this morning despite steady growth in the world's biggest economy the united states there's a growing concern over rising interest rates higher corporate costs and weaker trade some of the most recent high flyers are now leading the downturn. a stock market slide driven by some of the biggest names in tech take apple at the beginning of this month it was worth over a trillion dollars now it's dropped to eight hundred eighty billion one reason for the decline weaker than expected to man for the latest i phone models. not just for apple but for the entire benchmark s. and p. index here's why. well when a company represents close to five percent of the s. and p. five hundred itself then you do have companies that are behaving with stead can move the market much more so than any company that's running to fifty or below but
8:22 am
shares in other tech titans like facebook amazon netflix and alphabet are also down suggesting there may be more to the slump than simple i phone fatigue one big worry among investors the ongoing trade battle between the world's two biggest economies . there was hope for a lot of this year that the u.s. and china were going to work out their problems without too much difficulty and now with the possibility of a lot of tariff rising at the beginning of next year people are concerned that this is actually going to drag on a lot longer than it might have a pronounced effect on the global economy i tech flown into an unresolved trade dispute to gather their recipe for more volatility. as we heard earlier on the show the european commission is worried about italy's twenty nine thousand budget official say that rome's big spending plans could trigger another debt crisis with devastating effects to the entire eurozone at least that has grown
8:23 am
over the years to reach nearly one hundred thirty two percent of the country's annual economic output or gross domestic product is the second highest in the eurozone after greece well above the eurozone average a lot at least government wants to use its increased budget budgets to finance social spending in hopes of boosting economic growth. for more on this let's bring in our lesser test see he's an economist at the burble institute of brussels based economic policy think tank welcome alessio now the cornerstone of this budget proposal is the so-called citizens wage program where the government will essentially hand out ten billion euros to the poorest italians so they can spend it does that have the very same effect of increasing economic growth and hope so rome is hoping for. i think that even in the most benign scenario this will have only short lived positive impacts on growth over the next
8:24 am
year perhaps but this does nothing to address italy's long standing growth problems which are more structural in nature italy's a country where g.d.p. growth has been flat basically throughout the past twenty years and there's nothing in this budget that tries to address this in a more structural long term way now what would be better ways to boost growth. you know anything that is. that falls under the so-called structural reform envelope trying to increase. competition among firms letting capital and labor flow to firms that are already exporting more that are highly competitive investing in education there's a long list of things that italy could try to address improving public administration quality and there's a there's nothing in there. a list of the big discussion here is italy's high debt
8:25 am
level which stands at a hundred and thirty two percent of g.d.p. however other countries like japan for example have been having much higher debt levels and they are doing fine so what's the problem here. the problem is that well first of all italy does not have its own central bank that just can just print money as as we as we've seen in japan but on a more fundamental note italy can easily lose financial market confidence with this. budget law that doesn't make a lot of economic sense and we are already seeing this we already saw yesterday a bond auction that went partially deserted and you know as more increased even as morning creasing interest rates in a country that has such a high debt level can have a recession ari effect because he has a spillovers on the banking sector. and therefore corporate loans on household
8:26 am
loans become more expensive and this has consequences on the real economy and this might be the first case of a recessionary expansionary policy fiscal policy so i'll answer briefly if the government doesn't know where the money is coming from increasing interest rates to attract investors is not the way out i mean you will have to interest rates will go up have already been going up the spread between italian going in bonds and german government bonds has been increasing substantially. so it is already happening this is not sustainable long term because italy already sits on a large pile of debt and it is very expensive to have to finance this debt when interest rates become become higher economist so they're pretty thank you so much for speaking to you don thanks chris. french carmaker runnel has appointed
