a parliamentary vote. druggie is expected to seek a new confidence vote or rather a know, a new excuse me. next week he's going to seek that after the country as president refused his offer of resignation. druggie had said that he would no longer serve as a prime minister if the populace fivestar movement pulled out of his broad coalition. say the vote count which plunged easily into political crisis. representatives of the 5 star movement boycotted emotion in the senate. prime minister mario druggie saw it as a loss of confidence in his government. fivestar lead a just said the contact the former prime minister, seen here at the hand over a power has been critical of many of the government's policies. his party has been falling in the poles in recent months, and tension has arisen in the governing coalition. the situation has been fragile for a while. it was only

a question of when the coalition would fall apart. now it is finally happened. drug visited the president to resign saying he can only lead when all coalition party is fully supported program. but the president rejected his resignation. drug you will return to parliament on july 20 to seek its support. and for more on what's triggered, earliest political crisis, i'm joined by journalist alessio perone, who has the view right now from milan, alessio. what led to this resignation attempt by the prime minister? well, it's a peculiar situation where we are observing. i think many of us initially and including political analysts are still struggling to understand exactly what is going on. i think it's crucial to tell that drug is government was always a national, you'd say, had a big coalition kind of government with a support about diverse range of parties from the far right to, to center left and wrong. he always said that the government not exists without the

support of the far so movement, which let's remember, was the biggest political force out of this election that the law lectures, italy had, and thursday, the. so yesterday, the foster movement refused to vote a bill proposed by the drug government. and basically drug said that the national unity majority that supported its government was basically no longer existed. and so he resigned or tried to resign. why did they refuse to vote? would you say because i mean, you know, if we look at the 5 star movement itself in the background, it's also lost support in the polls that seen some high profile resignation. so why make this move on this particular vote? well, obviously officially, the official reason is that they weren't happy with the bill, which is mostly about tax rates and incentives and measures to help the the country's economy and times of crisis way the war, the panoramic and so on. an officially, i think the reason is as you're saving the 1st, the movement used to be the biggest political. fortunately it had well over 30

percent of the vote in 2018 but has been falling gradually, but steadily over the years. i think for some we need to remind the 1st amendment isn't just stablish my party. it tend to say, institutions like the mass, the world bank, even the euro. and the european central bank as its enemies did not like them. and drugs kind of represent some, some members, definitely see drug is something that they did not, they cannot support. now, this erosion of support for the 5. so the movement has like to pension within the movement. recently, a part of the most pro dragging government's members have left standing a different political force. this left the party with basically members who are the most skeptical chinese government. and they see this as kind of the, this, this crisis has been long in making, but they see this is a way that they can return to the true identity and kind of rise again in the polls

. ok, join us, alessio perone in milan, walking us through some of the undercurrents there in terms of what is happening on the italian political scene. thank you so much for your insight as well. hopefully ukrainian president followed mary zalinski has condemned a russian missile attack. far from the wars front lines, calling it an open act of terrorism. the russian rockets hit an office block and damaged residential buildings in the central ukrainian city of vanessia. at least 23 people died and around 100 more were wounded. 3 children are reported to be among those dead ukrainian forces claim the attack deliberately targeted civilians in locations without military value. russian missiles have been striking deeper into ukrainian territory. vanessa is in central ukraine far from the front lines. thousands of people from the east had fled here after russia invaded,
