yes minister tonight dr we appreciate your insights thank you. for you know they really want to kick us out when they are willing to get into bed politically with people they have despised for years well that could be going through the mind of italy's far right interior minister. 2 former political rivals the anti establishment 5 star movement and the center left democratic party well they're now attempting to join forces to create a new coalition government and to avoid a new election but what is really forcing these photos to become friends is their desire to leave the elder of politics and out in the cold. he exudes call but just says he conti has been on a wild ride 3 weeks ago he lost his job as prime minister when italy's governing coalition fell apart now he's been tasked with putting together a new government. the country is in

a very delicate phase we must put the political uncertainty triggered by the government crisis behind us as soon as possible we're facing critical economic problems. but i sent them when they could have the shoot that. the new coalition partners the antiestablishment 5 star movement and the center left democratic party make strange bedfellows many italians don't see the marriage lasting long. and so ok let's listen to get to that i think this agreement is a bad thing you know like them because they have hated each other for a long time and now they are 14 in alliance so i really don't think it's a clever thing. to convene the not very sure because i don't think they will last long. because the differences are obvious and i think there are huge differences in the political programs of the 2 parties that the clear loser so far is far right

league party leader matteo so vini he pulled the plug on the last coalition by removing his party's participation he was widely seen to be angling for new elections but the new coalition puts a vote off for now the main pick you up i would go through those who are afraid of elections can run away for a month 6 months or a year. because the public not forever. the only thing that unites them is their hatred of the league know your. the drama is likely to settle down in the coming days conte said the new government's most urgent task is to come up with a budget for the coming year. and joining me now from rome is journalist seem a good to us it is good to see you why what are the situation in italy right now i mean we've seen multiple failed attempts in recent years to form a stable italian government is this going to be the magic combination. i think that's the question everybody's wondering i mean at some stage 14 months ago when

we saw on the 5 star movement getting together with the far right lee party everybody thought well that these these 2 are populous parties so perhaps the last we've seen that fall apart and now it's anybody's guess as to how long this coalition will last in terms of the government but for the moment you've got and then he has the mandate now to form this government yes to put together who's going to be hitting the different ministries of both parties and going to be jockeying for positions on top of that they've got to come up with a particular program to which they will have to put this new government to a vote of confidence in both houses of parliament for the moment however leave seen a positive reaction as far as the markets are concerned on thursday a result of bond yields fall to one quite a wreck was low also clearly the markets believe that this grouping is at least more positive towards that european union as the perhaps the last one yeah that's

a positive sign for sure and what about the interior minister matteo selvi i mean if it's almost like it's a machiavellian move that he made right bringing down this government surely he didn't think that he was going to end up being out of the next government but that's what is apparently going to happen has he been completely pushed out of politics with this. well not completely pushed out but definitely pushed out of government and as you said a gross miscalculation on his part now he has actually referred to what's happening now is the best of democracy and he believes that the italians have been stolen off their right to an election in order to decide who can believe now he believes that this government in his words was appointed by brussels appointed by the big powers within europe by france and germany and not by themselves for the moment though the president said there are a lot had the right to find

a new prime minister and to give him the mandate in order to continue and that's what he's seen in farm to hoping that they will go forward and the priority be the budget for 2020 but mr salvini is not going to go quietly into the night he said you can't get rid of this boss and this party supporters did gather together and call for a deal process on october 19th and as we let you go outside of italy analysts are saying that this proves that the populace they cannot govern oh it has been informed of that way in italy well even in italy i think the view is that they just want to see the government come together and to avoid going to another vote in the feeling among regular italians that there was frustration with the pull the plug on the government because they didn't want to see it happen so quick and we saw some of his popularity fall as a result of this now we'll have to see how the democratic party and what together

with what was once the arch rivals and whether mr salvini wants to see that fall apart and whether he will then come forward in a fresh election for the moment all right we'll just have to see what ministers they're going to put forward what programs and whether it's going to be approved in the house of parliament all right some of the purporting. to thank you. well the united states is launching a unit in charge of its defense operations in outer space the name space command president trying to build the new defense into t. in a ceremony at the white house today analysts predict space may become an area where future conflicts are waged many believe space command is a precursor to donald trump's plans for an entire new wing of the u.s. military called space force here is part of what trump had to say today the dangers to our country constantly evolve and so must we now if those who wish to harm the united states to seek to challenge us in the ultimate high ground

of space it's going to be a whole different ball game we're going to stay here on earth washington d.c. our bureau chief there alexander for numbs he's on the story for us tonight good evening to you alexander i mean this this does sound a little bit like star wars tell me what is the difference between space command and space force. well space force is the future at least according to president trump he wants to create a totally new and potentially independent branch of the u.s. military military to oversee all military operation in space but to achieve this goal he needs congress he needs congregational approval congressional authority and congressional funding and that can take years and of course there are a lot of people critics questioning this adventure as they called it so therefore the trump administration has decided to move forward with establishing this space

command it's and you need as you have mentioned operating on that the umbrella of the u.s. for and it will it consist of 87 people and it will draw all forces from all services in the u.s. military. how we supposed to imagine what space command is is preparing for all xander are we talking about space ships in. the battle with each other i mean what is the white house in vision. well at the moment we are talking about satellites the u.s. nation's reliance on. difficult to protect satellites that provide. intelligence and sniff again that provide communications and their capabilities

are vital to the us military and the u.s. economy and the u.s. is accusing nations such as russia and china for example they accuse them that they are trying to develop new weapons and weapons and laser weapons and other offensive capabilities to disrupt and destroy you ask satellite so therefore the white house says it's very important now to focus on deterrence and defense and space and one of alexander we know the. the he is known for saying in the sixty's we want to a man on the moon in that decade because of what the soviets were doing now in china is in outer space is that a motive for trying to push ahead with space command in space for. yes i think that you're totally right china is a very good example because for example in 2018 china so plus the united states in

the total number of space launches china has also managed to land a rover on the backside of the moon and by doing so they showcase a technical and technological advantage china has been accused of trying to. hijack. satellites operate and russia is another example russia has been accused of trying to jam g.p.s. signals that are important for nato military drills so that's why the white house says that it is essential to establish a space force in order to counter russia's and china's attempts to outsmart the mass in space right there or why our washington bureau chief and he's under phenomenal story with us tonight the latest on space command alexandra thank you. back here on earth u.s.

president drunk he has threatened to pull out american troops from here in germany if berlin fails to boost its defense spending and it would be a big deal $35000.00 american troops are permanently based here in germany in addition a similar number of civilians both americans and germans work in jobs that are linked to the u.s. military presence other european countries hosting significant numbers of u.s. troops or italy as well as the u.k. there neither have quite as many as germany belt sign of your japan who's the most american troops of any country except the united states at the moment poland we know troops favorite european country said it has no permanent u.s. military base our reporter on the march when to rome star and the biggest u.s. base here in germany where most locals want the americans to stay put. a key american outpost in southwestern germany. ramstein

airbase the biggest u.s. air force base abroad. just what takes place there is kept secret even 70 years after the base was founded. it is impossible to get any closer to the air base the enteric compound is a high security zone and we certainly weren't allowed to enter the base itself with a camera team instead the u.s. military gave us some of their own video footage from inside. the u.s. military shows how munitions and weapons are stored supplies for fighters in syria mali or afghanistan. paratroopers practice jumping fighter pilots set off from here on their missions to africa asia and the middle east wing. defending germany only plays

a smaller role according to this expert and the u.s. this is not given such of course as a bit of protection but at the same time history teaching importance of ramstein for u.s. foreign policy and security policy to not be underestimated. and it's not just the air base the biggest american military hospital outside continental united states is also nearby doctors and health care workers train here for emergencies and for working in a war zone wounded soldiers are brought here from all over the world. pretty much soon they will be relocating not to poland but closer to the airfield. a new hospital costing around a $1000000000.00 will be built more modern and better equipped. forest at the edge of the airbase has already been cleared. the mayor of. the large investment alone means there will be no move. you never

know what will get used or not but i can't see it happening. the u.s. has also invested a lot in modern warfare in recent years the air and space operations center is located at the airbase it's one of the u.s. military. it is now an open secret that plays a central role in the u.s. drone strikes important information on targets are related to the u.s. via out i'm stein opponents of the base are unhappy about preparations for war are being made in germany for them a u.s. withdrawal would be a reason to celebrate. but most people disagree. germans and americans have grown together over the decades as seen at the german american friendship fest. among the guests of form and active members of the

military who don't believe the air base will be relocate it is a central point in europe for the american forces and not only europe africa middle east everything is centered around ramstein and that's why this place is going to stay here we don't need to leave menace we're having a good time of year. look carefully at the air base more than a 1000 buildings many of them underground the place for that reason they can't move it all to poland. the trump administration's threats to relocate or something people cannot imagine will ever happen. that joint location is too important for both americans and germans. and the day is almost done the governor say ssion it continues online you'll find us on twitter either at the w news you can follow me at brant goff t.v. don't forget to use our hash tag of the day every member whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then about.

littered with ticking time bombs remnants from the 2nd world war that are becoming ever more dangerous in the north and baltic seas alone around 1600000 tons of war and the mission lie on the seabed like this huge underwater might most of it was simply disposed of in this sea by the victorious allies and decades erosion is threatening to release the toxic loads. substances such as arsenic mustard gas and t.n.t. could contaminate the already vulnerable waters of the polish coast and one of the biggest worries for ecologists is the massive amount of oil from sunken warships found in places such as the bay of the downscale environmentalist olga sarna fears that the past will soon catch up with the present and ruin see that holds a very special place in her life. the best to plant a peninsula in the good times copper channel this is where the shots were fired

that marked the start of the 2nd world war politician irene conservationist on gasana is worried about the french posed by contaminants and munitions that are still lying at the bottom of the baltic sea. there is at least. 80 to 100 wrecks in the baltic that are potentially dangerous to the environment and my might still contain a bic. and out of oil in them and if it leaks the whole eco system of the body will be in danger the sun composes the most serious threat the german oil tanker was torpedoed by soviet aircraft in the gulf of dimes at the end of the war. the records being decomposing on the seabed for 75 years and still has feeling its hollow. older son of fears that the function could soon break apart with devastating consequences. marchin public is

a diver and has confirmed that the vessel is badly corroded but the 2 environmental activists say no one is prepared to take responsibility. some people say that the past owners of the regs should be responsible some say that the countries in which waters he directs are responsible for taking actions of greg so that's this is basically why this is such a complicated issue because there is no clear definition of who is responsible and who should take action. the baltic sea bed is littered with potentially dangerous munitions. that the institute of oceanography and diancecht researchers are examining samples such as these rusty containers of chemical warfare agents tracked down by professor yet sick bodog ski. it's about 404242000 tons generally it's estimated like the major origin

of it is in the home base in it's about 38240000 tons whereas about 2000 tons it's in the goat of differently but if some of them large amount of the same time in a small amount but you will have a large release then you can have. disposal clouds moving 15 away and killing ever think all the way. ecosystems in the baltic sea are already under threat fertilizers from agriculture end up in the sea and are causing low oxygen levels that are becoming critical for many species. for older son and her fellow activists the baltic is a major part of the polish cultural identity and must be protected wherever all the baltic has some special place in our hearts i mean i spend every holiday every summer at the seaside since i was scared little daryl so we kind of have this

connection with the body even if we are not strictly from here. sana says the oil in the front and needs to be drained immediately to prevent an environmental disaster in the scenic diancecht bay. salvaging the entire tanker is too risky and in fact ship wrecks attract marine life and actually help ecosystems to flourish. you all you think you would see on the bottom is just sent there's not much life life for this world of wrecks or you can see big fishes sometimes 3 lions so it's it's it's really good to have those wrecks and to take care of them and to preserve. the toxic legacy of the 2nd world war urgently needs to be dealt with time is running out oldest son of talks to the media as often as she can tirelessly sounding the alarm. unless action is taken with winds could soon be witnessing an

environmental catastrophe. domestic abuse is a subject that is still largely taboo in our society an epidemic hiding behind closed doors and is a problem that women in russia are acutely aware of despite it claiming the lives of some 14000 women there each year the government has downgraded some forms of domestic violence to a misdemeanor and for survivors the physical scars left behind are painful reminders of the past a tattoo artist yes a car is helping women transform their wounds into works of art for her clients this form of therapy and able them to again feel comfortable in their skin. still. opposed to a city of over 1000000 in southern russia. this is

a benefit concert to help jenea take the 1st step towards achieving her dream. jenea tattoos women who've been abused by men that's a knife when the project 1st started touch it was one of the 1st women to show up. actually i don't want the women to be constantly reminded of why they came. and it's over and done with but people want to hear their stories. of months of the q story of. jenny his dream is to cross russia on a motorcycle offering free tattoos to female victims of male violence. her project is called transformation. has a long scar across her belly jenea turns it into a little. question could. you or you can. it can't

get any worse than what i've been through. of course not. the man all your blames for her score was a distant relative. she came on a visit when she was 17. he was drunk. he tried to strangle me. he said either i'll kill you or you let me do you. i broke free and screamed i'll stab myself if you touch me he said you won't do it you wouldn't have the guts come on come on try he came at me and i stabbed myself in the belly with a knife. and estimated $14000.00 and more women die as a result of male violence every year and russia. jenny says the numbers are in fact much higher. you have the worst. probably more. than i think the

problem has to do with the mentality. and the farther away from central russia you get the greater the unemployment and the alcoholism among men. oh you hopes the lily will also grant her fur till it. since the knife wound in 2005 she's never been able to get pregnant. the russian parliament the duma has passed legislation led by arch conservative female m.p.'s exempting offenders from criminal prosecution for the 1st domestic violence offense the 1st one is to be classified as a petty offense a relatively trivial matter. and that these women in parliament absolutely do not represent ordinary russian women not in the slightest. i represent the interests of russian women because i see all this these politicians have no idea what they're

talking about this new law is against the people not for the people. the next day genya and her friend set out for some are. it's a 13 hour trip think in free time to use to victims of abuse jenny and never expected so many women to contact her from all across russia the 1st woman here is 39 year old vic oh she's embarrassed by the large store that her coworkers can see on her hand. my ex-husband. and i wanted to leave him and he locked me and. he cut me all over so i wouldn't ever belong to anyone else but him. he hurt me wherever he could and my face hands and my toddy. later the doctors told her she'd come close to losing her hand now a flower

a cross on the spot that had been so painful. to look. overwhelmed that someone came all the way from. to give her a free tattoo. but i've been a couple to me it's not only about helping these women to the finish i want to show people that it's possible to do something good that it isn't hard to do something good. for them but. on the way back to another abuse victim calls for help on jenny a small pile. her star was left by a wound from a hunting rifle. and have been doing this for 2 years nothing's changed. more and more women are coming to me. there's

a real problem but i don't know how to solve it there's no end to it and. they live undetected underground where their colonies can multiply and outnumber humans rats are a plague in many large european cities such as portugal capitalised on well the city is crawling with millions of rodents who have the potential to spread disease so how to get rid of the pests enter the park or troll an elite feline unit tasked with sniffing out the vermin. through the streets. pursuit of their prey. cats are helping sort out the city's rodent problem. some 6000000 rats live here and the.
