after the collapse of his national unity government. the president has asked mister drago to remain in post as caretaker liter analysts say. his departure could not have come at a worse time for italy and for europe. drag is trip to the presidential palace to submit her 2nd resignation within a week has launched yet another phase of turmoil in italian politics. he was originally appointed to the rule of prime minister to help italy recover from the impact of cove it yet a grip on his splattering economy and implement economic reforms. those issues have not gone away and if anything has become more pressing, his resignation has left many italians, worried about the future. adelcia delicate moment that i think it was a reckless move. not to bear in mind everything that is happening globally with the war. and the ongoing pandemic already thought by

family with they live. it really is of the right moment for a government crisis up. but bang, this should have been the mom to get back on her feet. hot and cold, not the moment to stop, never been cited. let's hope everything goes well, but we'll look at the and the problem will be solved on the like, where i wanna, unquote, equally big a deal with the political crisis began a week ago when one of the parties and drug his coalition government refused to back an economic package that prompted him to tender his resignation. for the 1st time. it is president asked him to stay on and to try and form a stable government draggy 2nd resignation. after 2 more coalition parties broke ranks brings the curtain down on bad effort. on thursday evening italy's president federal montera tele deserve parliament clearing the way for new elections to be

held on september 25th. the men dubbed super mario has been asked to remain an office in the caretaker role until a new prime minister is chosen. earlier i spoke to monday and i was young as a research associate and politics and international relations at the university of oxford. and i asked him, what we can expect from mario drago in his role as caretaker, leader, until a new prime minister is chosen. he will try to lock in the roof, wanted started over last year and a half a leave you to receive something regional 250000000000 years on european union recovery package monitoring has been working on that and he will try to lock him. he's reformed so that he will stay, it will not be dismantled by mexico that he will not be able to pass the budget more that will because indeed for, for next year, but in parliament probably between november and so i, italy has never faced an election campaign in summer and that is for

a reason like many southern european nations like basically comes to a standstill in the hot months. the cities empty out and people flew to the beach or so what does that campaign going to look like? yes, it is going to be peculiar, but i don't think only because of the summer time, and there is extremely time for political parties to submit their documentation that is necessary for running the election. so times are tied from an administrative point of view. also they'll be a reduction in the number of seats available in apartment. so you could expect in fighting with the parties to be on the ticket to be made kelly than the electrolyte . and you could expect more split. we already within the 5 pro movement, there's been a split and you could expect more people leaving their parking, trying to find somewhere somewhere else where they can fit. so an interesting scenario or painting their things as they are now. who is the front runner for

these elections in september? if you look at opinion polls, you have a coalition made up by your brothers will believe this is an extreme right wing political party, the league north and the what you used to be northern leak. again, except for big rifling parties and corporate audio too. but it was going to kill their altogether coming to something between 45 and 50 percent in all of those. you know, can, in polls, you don't have to foster movement somewhere between 10 and 15 percent. and the democratic party, something similar to the german social democrats in the range of 20 to 25 percent to which you could add some outer left wing and green parties so that they would get to about 25 percent of that. what we've done, however, i think what's very interesting to see is the fact that you have a lot of italians that are extremely cross money that was seen as extremely honest and the sears and comp them think the economies are not used to

expect from their petitions. and so i would be surprised if there were not to be some significant changes when it comes to in both color. my want to punish the parties that brought my brain when i was in the line. thank you so much and will drug resignation has implications in the you to our correspond jack, paris told us how the news from italy went down and brussel. well it's, it will be a huge headache to see a leader change, i think is safe to say that here in brussels and indeed across the capitals of the european union. mario draggy is an extremely popular figure. firstly, because he's come across a stable. secondly, because not only has he told the u line country to many of his predecessors, he's actually advanced in greatly participated in a lot mainly because of his history as the president of the european central bank. he understands europe. he knows how it works. he knows how the works and also he's

extremely pro european, i think the broad support that he has actually felt in italy and continues to feel has extended here in brussels. we saw, for instance, him attending that visit to keep alongside jolla shows the german chancellor and france president emmanuel, my crohn, he's been extremely strong on support the ukraine. in fact, he was one of the 1st leaders to really come out strongly and suggest that ukraine should be allowed a quick entry into the european union in application processes and accession country. and we already know now they have been granted that position to be an e n e, you accession country. so a lot of that is gonna going to change. now i think that's how look at some other stories making headlines around the world today. the european central bank has announced that as raising interest rates for the 1st time since 2011 b e u institutions, as it will increase its deposit rate one half of a percentage point 0 twice as much as had been expected in an effort to current

2 schools were destroyed and daniel shells also head. the southern city of mich alive and russian forces renewed their attacks on ukraine's 2nd largest city char keith, killing 3 civilians, and injuring more than 20. just an ordinary market on any of the day, but to day a site of devastation. russian strikes at the stake style market and hawk eve killed her husband. the shells struck a mosque, a jim, a bus stop taking civilian lives. ukrainian officials say russia is out for blood even using weapons that are widely band. router home, chris, you received this place was hit by rockets with cluster bones one to maximize the damage to people who go on those who push the button on the rocket launcher. wanted to maximize damage to the civilian population in 1000. yeah,
