wing five star movement and the right wing northern league party formerly fringe now turned government majorities are promising italians a government of change confronting the e.u. on immigration austerity and taxation childers to everyone even only european level for now and the italian. the new government's plan for italy and europe is everything brussels doesn't want people before economic obligations as a senior official of the northern league described it they're demanding a debt discount an expansion of welfare programs and a reduction of taxes which would be a big blow to the e.u. as wallet italy is also telling brussels it's had enough bearing the burden of the migrant crisis on top of that they're challenging something that's been a constant in the e.u.'s foreign policy for some years by saying drop the sanctions

against russia last time brussels saw a similar rebellion was when an anti-establishment party took the reins in greece when an austerity sarees a party came to power what a headache it was for the e.u. you greta. we didn't reach an agreement it was never on the cards that we would. we didn't even agree to disagree from where i'm standing but the greek experience could hardly have been considered a win for euro skeptics series about under pressure and agreed to a renewed austerity programme in italy it seems both parties of the government coalition are getting along so far after they finalize their program they'll just need approval from the italian president if approved it would be the first e.u. founder state to be ruled by a euro skeptic government and that's starting to give brussels bigger worries than it originally had we have to brace ourselves for the worst scenario and the worst

scenario could be no operational government as if the absence of a government in italy seemed bad enough for the e.u. it could be soon contending with a major member state in all out rebellion donald quarter r t well italy stock market has reacted negatively as the political program contains a number of sweeping economic proposals a representative from the likely coalition says such radical plans are vital for modern italy we came to the point where the final contract that is included in the most important things from the two parts we need this to come down also the country and be able to stay into the work being a you know in a strong way we are very focused on. democracy country there were low we respect our alliances we want to be part of the e.u. . being stronger as italy. militants

washington would be delighted if the project was scrapped but germany's economy minister peter myers says europe will also stand up for their own interests. if the us says america first an. interest before others then we should expect that we europeans will define our own economic interests too and fight for that. hamburger and pay martin doul to assess american sanctions could be highly damaging for german firms. german. economy is afraid as well because the new trump sanctions are structured if you. even direct li. actions. for its infrastructure in favor of russia which is on the. sentence against you this is pure blackmail what is what is

if any of the number of palestinians killed or injured in those rallies is horrifying most of them civilians have nothing to do with any military organization they just want justice and to return to their ancestral lands which are occupied by israel they want the world to know about their fight for justice the princess's ranald if the israeli army had not reacted to disproportionately they could have been some form of agreement people would have just gone home all the decisions on the palestinian problem and made long ago trying to un resolutions if israel agrees to comply with them there will be peace in palestine. at

a very slippery slope when you start dehumanizing people based way it's what the nazis did it's what slave owners did it's not what americans do. now ice is the only law enforcement agency that can not use our databases to find the bad guys. will think it was a while they were here in this thirty in the lurch and i don't know if they are just very sick retro i cannot tell i suppose. we have people coming into the country trying to go shopping. but we're taking redeploy out of the country you wouldn't believe the street. these are people. these are animals well as this is way trump took to twitter to lash out at the media some outlets have now published we're trying to call a just a trump political cartoonist ted rall feel some of the media have too much of an agenda. the credibility is very hard one whether you're an individual or you're

in a good organization and it's very easily lost and it hurts me i think and many people in the world of journalism to see these media credibility being squandered this way i mean what's even more disturbing is that you can attempt to do a good job as a journalist but you're smeared entire nish by the behavior of organizations that are just pounding their preexisting narrative whether or not the facts bear that narrative out. britain's prince harry has married american actress meghan markle in a lavish ceremony at windsor castle it was watched by an estimated global television audience have more than a billion artie's playboy takes an irreverent look at the world celebrations in the latest episode of her online show. in case you missed it right on monday and this

and talk. guys are financial survival liquid those that you can use it as quite easily. to keep in mind no as it should be in place. for. welcome to the part of the united states and the philippines have a curious history together once a colony down a staunch military is now trying to take steps to redefine and rebalance its

relationship with washington and by extension some of its friends and foes how is it going so far to discuss that i'm now joined by alan peter cayetano secretary of foreign affairs of the philippines secretary it's a great pleasure great on are welcoming you're in the studio thank you very much for coming on the honors mine thank you very much for having me now your visit to moscow comes at a time when. you can't even describe the relationship between russia and the united states intelligence i mean it's a it's a big mess and i don't think we can even put some label on it. i wonder if you believe this trip of yours will be noticed in washington friends in ne their friends indeed russia the russian federation president putin came today the philippines while we were fighting terrorism in them are we and we owe it to russia to also come and show our friendship whether there are world issues or

not being discussed our bilateral relationship is strong and we wanted to be stronger now let's discuss your relationship with the united states first because obviously it has a much longer history and then year relationship with russia i heard you compare your relationship with a washington to that of a family with a kid who came of age and wants to try and he's or her own path which means meeting with people that the parents do not necessarily approve of and the you yourself come from a very well placed family i'm sure you on earth your parents' requests and everybody else's is that how the philippines relates to the united states the well my father a filipino from the smallest town in metro manila and my mother is an american and my mother and my father loves my mother very much but always said that the americans cannot dictate to the filipinos what to do and it's up to the filipinos

to chart their own destiny a president that there comes from this generation of appreciating the history noting that there were no points in the history times that we were taken advantage off but noting also that the strong military ties and the aid and the help and the people to people relationship there's three point five million filipino americans or filipinos in the in the u.s. having said that you know it's like you love your parents but they can't dictate your life to you and solidity but the secretary i think in every functioning family. the parents remain the authority figures even after the children leave the house this is what i'm trying to get from you how much of of an authority you vast in the preferences in it in the opinions of the united states at this point of time well that's precisely what we want to change you know we we will not swallow hook line and sinker that we have called one or the same interest when

our interests they verge we will pursue what this in our best interest when their common interests we should pursue it but gone are the days when anything that the west or. american to say is good for us you know we're not in the cold war i came from well some people say we are in in an even worse period than the color of the older students today students for international relations from the cold war mentality we should have the coldplay mentality you know and it's all about fixing ourselves about you know seeing the light and being honest with each other we live in a motor polar world and the u.s. and other great powers have to find its place in the new world order now this new policy of independence is associated first and foremost with president reagan to tara to who judging from polls remains quite popular among your country man but as

you yourself never tire of saying the philippines is a democracy and therefore can elect somebody with a totally different vision help us understand here how much of the current poster is tied directly to the president his personality and how much of it is institutionally driven that bill outlast him. well in the sense that president that that made no gave no illusions and during the campaign said this is how i'll treat china this is how i will treat the u.s. i don't want any one dictating upon the filipino people i'm accountable only to the philippine no people so in that sense it's very institutional in the sense that it's very personal it's really the president and there are going to sion that the foreign policy but our constitution says independent foreign policy meaning a foreign policy for us but in the past we've always said whatever the u.s.

or the west said that's right for us what is your sense of your own people's desires do you think that kind of irene taishan is going to stand for longer than four years that he has it now my godfather was always telling me in the time that we had walkmans if you ask anyone do you want an i pod no one will say i want the night but because you didn't know what it is' you didn't know what i tunes to us so you know we're now discovering what the independent foreign policy is what it is to have mature friendship with the us what the hell in them that we want a mature relationship with russia we have a dispute with china but still we want the relationship with china and the rest of the world so it's too early to tell but i can say there's a lot of excitement there'll be a lot of benefits for the chinese people the filipino people the russian people we have a lot of chinese filipinos but when the former president went again to china they were just quiet so now there is some noise there some people are quiet in the u.s.

but they know that the people to people relationship you know but still different from the international level relationship of state to state now there is an asking you because the philippines is definitely not alone in adopting this more versatile foreign policy what you say is very. how for example the pakistanis. describe their relationship with the united states and other actors so it doesn't look like a broader trend the question is and it is often asked by our american colleagues is whether it is likely to make asia more or less stable i mansour question by a direct example so you talk to the americans and they saying they're increasing their presence in the south china sea and in the sea because. the chinese are also getting more aggressive in building some defensive posture and putting military assets on some features in the south china sea and according to the americans the

sea lanes there are too important for world com worse you talk to the chinese they'll tell you that seventy percent of their economy passes through that channel and commerce is too important to that so both are saying the same thing but from an opposite point of view so what do we do at filipinos will you be pro chinese are doing be pro america or do without both of them were pro filipina and you guys have to talk and work out this region. so that the us in a sea and the philippines will be caught in between so i think it's not just a trend it's the right it is really difficult not to be caught in between especially as time just but it's not the cold war anymore there's no left and right through right than wrong or evil and good you know it's a multi-polar world you have bilateral relationships you have multilateral relationships you have transnational crimes you have the truism so you know we have to get we have to find a way not only to live with each other but to find the world order where all of us

have an opportunity for great and i ask you we just discussed a little bit become plexi of your relationship with the united states how you try to rebalance it while retaining the positives i'm sure your relationship with china i mean it follows a different trajectory but you would agree perhaps that the korea. that is just as complex and challenging on a personal level on professional level who do you find more challenging the americans or the chinese when you negotiate. say said in the think back in the us the americans are parents but we're saying we're off to college and allow us to pick our own friends the chinese our roommate you know their close neighbors so regardless what we do with each other and how we treat each other it's going to affect our economy our people are security. you know so. the complexity comes in not in the bilateral relationship but in the overall.

regional and world grieve agrees and in the world order so it's equally. challenging but we are speaking this frankly to our american counterparts and to the members of the u.s. congress who care about the philippines and we think through a frank discussion you know we'll get somewhere now you just mentioned your talk at the council on foreign relations last year and in that talk you also suggested that the russians i'd be cautious it be pursuing a relationship they philippians because of the says deeply ingrained called war perception of your country as a very very close american associate not even an ally it would say i think more like an associate more and ate how far have moscow and manila gotten. have in practical terms my perception is that both in moscow and manila there were policy makers who say you know take it a step at a time be cautious this just might be

a connection between press and then put in and president there are very good talks between prime minister medvedev and president you know but from that time on you know we have had for example we were buying arms from the u.s. and because certain members of kong. that's were making noise about alleged human rights violation you know when we need that the most it was in there but here comes china and here comes russia despite policymakers in beijing and moscow saying let's be careful let's see what's happening you know took a leap of faith and came to manila and don't get me wrong the u.s. also helped us in we and the australians the japanese you know and we appreciate this but what we're saying is that we want that much your real friendship we may be a smaller country well that that friendship also has a material benefit. is all it said not only friendship but also not that far away i

mean russia or not and i have a perfect question for you on that subject because i think you have some very funny amazing metaphors i heard you say that with ten million filipinos living abroad to you guys x. print in long distance relationships i think we here in russia and a bit more said that to me time to develop stronger ties with those who are either close to us and these doses we can reach to territorially through land what could possibly breach this eight more than eight thousand kilometer distance bits been moscow and manila discovery i think the more we discovered russia and the more russian discovers the filipinos will find out that we have a lot of things in common. we both have a strong sense of identity and are finding our place not only in society in the world but both of us just you know want to get along with the rest of the world

have enough food that they will know we're also often misunderstood in our intentions to write that this is one that one of the things me because of again the cold war mentality i mean again it's always spock aged in some western media that this is correct this is so wrong you know so we have to judge countries actions and leave there said the rector gives case burke a. you know you can it's everything us that is correct or you can oppose us everything the us is wrong so we need more objective but the reality is. you know media tries to give the facts but also leave. their worldview so this is where social media and direct communication comes in unfortunately it's sometimes called fake news it sometimes is but it's sometimes actually a different world view packaged as fake news by powerful people now i know that russia in particular is interested in marketing its nuclear.
