the isley sentences have been in talks today they should decide on the day so that no confidence vote tomorrow. things could move relatively quickly off to that and so he said this series of events in motion last week how do you see his strategy in terms of timing. well methyl selene is eager to capitalize on his record high popularity but these the only one please call the person appalachians no older political party in italy wants to follow he's- call at the moment. and if you look at the what they taught in constitution says well this is the beginning of a long journey. you might be class the body will steal a procedural at long journey at four at my table so we need to know. whether they thought in system is actually ready to have those elections we have to remember that only tomorrow we know the date in which their confidence world we take place. possibly it would be before august twentieth. and then the ball will be on the court of

the president of the republic at set might that a lot we love to determine whether another political majority can be found within department. as you know at the moment there are several options on the table manyy political parties both on your position but also the quality shunned party. we need to check with the la are currently looking to see whether another third of the majority can be found so we can knock. at take for granted at does not collections rather the opposite we see today did they likelihood for snap elections is not so high well the- other. as the media portrayed over the last forty eight hours this is the beginning of a journey. indeed we have to follow they've got an constitution. now you mentioned the fact that my to sosolve anyone's to capitalize on his currentnt popularity and if he is prepared to o take h his leave party to the pose that does suggest t he's very confident. about ththe sort of support he has to think he'e's rit t there.

well certaininly d diss a bet ia bet. on the possibility of capitalizing up a polite the did as being rolling over the last few months but which is not based on policy d delivery. at these government does not being able to prpromise. to deliver on what the problem is rather the opposite it has been able to manage the expectations. in these might be the reason why so many is actually pushing for having those elections because in a few months. the moment of truth might be coming. if these new batch of lowell won't be adopted. in no major decisions would be taken we know that automatically that would be a significant spending link to the v. eighties all the talents we left to pay much more taxes not only to pay for the interest rate which is going to be high. if you look at the spread of the difference with the interest rate we babies of the germany but also in terms of the eighteen. day talents would be actually be affected. by day lock all govern ability. all the current political situation so you can see also the other side of the coin. we're looking at why might

they'll still be decided in the middle of the summer to actually call for such a political crisis. by withdrawing ease political support to the government that actually he has been at the part off so we have to remember that. my deal so i mean he is not that your position but he speaks like a leader. that was being ideal position over the last few months which obviously doesn't correspond to the reality. now the interior minister has said he called work with his coalition partners from the five star movement as we mentioned. how do you see that prospects could they gain the necessary support from other parties to hold. on a government maintained a place in the coalition. well the five star movement. is facing a very difficult political crisis in itself. it is not the only one because the better people democratically be leading opposition party. is also split over whether it to continue at such a dialogue or whether to actually go to the elections you know the to see. whether

well joining us now in the studio is james created on media watch editor to take us through some of the online responses to that news james i should imagine that this sort of unexpected unexplained death has spoke to a few conspiracy theories i'm one of them was even retweeted by donald trump that's right so that is first of all conspiracy theories in every possible direction on this at this so many question marks this was hanging over the facts. that it's not surprising that people are speculating on that speculation is kind of going into the realm of conspiracy theories just to show you first of all what some of those conspiracy theories look like many people asking questions about whether a powerful people might have you know have an interest in in in in that scene not being around anymore stuff that some want comical i'm not sure if we can see this tweeter yes going pop online. a comical in a dark wait mysteries visitor to abstain jail cell signed in as hell are due can t. eras right so the idea that has been one of the big conspiracy theories in the rounds of the clintons what's a something to benefit out of this but you could argue of course that it's just as

easy to speculate that this would benefit the us president to also had some sort of a relationship with jeffrey up steam was. a passenger on his private chat at one point you could the exact same question could be announced over the u. s. present what did we have to lose trump said and you can see your name and a cartoon of william barr in fact you know bringing up donald trump sing the job is done so these conspiracy theories work affecting ole the ends of the political spectrum and this is another treat kind of pointing to the harsh talk eckstine suicide cover up and you can see the trumps. and the clintons in that same image so you could argue that donald trump aware of this because of course he keeps a client close i was going to social media said i'm i'm gonna pick a site here i'm gonna get involved this is all speculation anyway on this is what i do. in fact the washington post is pointed at twenty two conspiracy theories that he's come vault in in social media even another one related to suicide accusations of collaboration with the clinton you can see here this is the trees that he retweeted. this guy is. not

even anyone of particular. conditions affecting him. in other conversations going on online. so you could you could go on all day about this but some people are sort of. pointing out the irony that there's a degree of at least. that people are agreeing that said. the something to. speculate about her that that that that's something to maybe theorize about. clinton's assassins and from two thousand showing off. all up it stings. sal and regardless if either side wants to admit it or not we are finally on common recount grounds regarding something. at finally seeing some unity about the apps approach the absbsence was at in other words. questions beingng asked overs. okay we'll just briefly. the use of this time conspiracy theory generally. some of them looking at it. at the board a phenomenon also conspiracy theories thoughts race at this is an article a medium. .com accounting

johnston as she says at last month at cornell university professor dave khan. tweeted i am a conspiracy theorists right on the idea of there being. at that he was trying to. kind of get a conversation going saying i believe men and women of wealth and power. conspire and- if you don't think so then you were what i would cold. and it is in other words he's saying that said the term has become a pejorative. you can see people talking about what happens jeffrey epstein. practicing the trees by think i'm not a conspiraracy theorist. but thing going ahead i'm actually speculating or- i conspiring so. some even i'll just finish with this i am not a conspiracy theorists as i beat will consume. a journalist is such a weird assertion when you think about it the idea there's- a binary between. believing all conspiracies. and father rejecting the very concept of cuts personal circumstances. because it's much more samus inindeed much. foodd for thought about what a conspiracy theory actually is thank you very much james. for joining us. that's all for this update will be back in just. a moment with
