he from the markets when deciding whether to vote for populists and my expectation is that the coming weeks will show that the markets government bonds and the economic development of italy could prove to be so drastic that this would be a possible signal for voters not to vote for populists and the left all right. for political uncertainty in italy has shocked financial markets worried about its least possible exit from the euro however one of the leaders of italy's failed coalition does note that no such measures measures were ever in their program. or you did out of the markets are worried italy could leave the euro that's because someone has been saying this government wants out of the euro despite that never having been our plan. when your skeptic coalition did fail to form a government its leaders blamed pressure from the e.u. artie's peter oliver has more now on the role of brussels played in italy's ongoing political crisis. on sunday night when sergio meltzer reality italian president
5:31 pm
vetoed the proposal of a euro skeptic for the role of colony minister he essentially scrapped a coalition between the populists of the five star movement and leader nord already also did was he sent a tally and voters back to the polls he sent the markets crashing down and he sent accusations flying that the e.u. had put a bit of pressure on him to do just that a lot of it i mean i'm wondering if we are in a democracy and if in italy the italians decide or the germans to side with the french decide it's incredible sensually these comments from they played right into the hands of the euro skeptics because they're now getting ready for new elections which could come as soon as september they can now say to their voters look we said last time they were trying to take your sovereignty away look what they did when we try to put in place a government in italy so it was ultimately left to the european commission
5:32 pm
president to try and smooth things over between the populists and euro skeptics in italy and the commission in brussels italy's fate does not lie in the hands of the financial markets regardless of which political party may be in power italy is a founding member of the european union that has contributed immensely to european integration the commission is ready to work with italy with responsibility and mutual respect italy deserves respect as i said those elections in italy could come as soon as september and between now one polling day we're sure to be a lot of people keeping an eye on what comments are coming out of brussels with regards to which feet which direction italy should proceed in the future. the doctors who treated the ex russian spies i guess could have powell and his daughter following their poison in the british city of seoul spree in march have appeared in a b.b.c. documentary and see if your can has been looking into what new things we've learned
5:33 pm
about the case. this is a b.b.c. newsnight program documentary has certainly highlighted some more curiosities about the whole script all saga adding just a little bit more mystery to this whole story if we didn't have enough already now this is a firsthand account of the medical staff doctors and nurses that were treating this compiles when they were admitted to hospital in solsbury following the poisoning and for starters some of the things described in this documentary were that initially it was assumed that the script all had experienced an opiate overdose and there were no extra precautions taken in that regard there was no indication of the fact that there was a gent and therefore we take on no more protection when any patient comes in which has no point taken any extra precautions in terms of protecting ourselves the screwballs were found in a park bench back in march on march fourth on
5:34 pm
a sunday they were taken to hospital then by tuesday police officer nick bailey was admitted into the hospital and then only after it was that based off of red flagging from other scientific lab porton down that it was revealed that a nerve agent had been used and despite all this and all the talk of the harm that this nerve agent potentially being what it is could cause this compiles were sort of miraculously cured and this is something that a doctor in this documentary describes as well that it came as a surprise how quickly they had recovered meanwhile a russian chemical expert that we spoke to said that the symptoms associated with an opioid overdose would be very different from those associated with a nerve agent poisoning which most of them with initial police report. grupo was swinging back and forth while seated on the bench and also raised his hands multiple times this description resembles
5:35 pm
a drugs overdose and the initial version was the scruples were suffering from friend to new. total signs of military group poisoning or rapid pupil construction spasms and you really incontinence all the symptoms are absent from the initial reports photos well certainly lots of curious details and to this day it seems clear that there are still lots and lots of details in this whole case to be addressed well after the incident the u.k. accused russia of carrying out the attack saying that only moscow had the means and the motive as well as the track record russia has repeatedly denied though it had anything to do with the soltan poisoning it said other countries developed navi chaka made it clear it had traded clear powell in a high profile spy swap and the former agent posed no threat to the country's interests moscow also says the fact is being denied access to a russian citizen is suspicious of former un chemical weapons expert anton told us
5:36 pm
it is hard to fathom how the medical staff avoided toxic exposure themselves given they weren't wearing protective gear for the first few days. well it seems to me that there was no. any poisons on the skin or on cloth of patients because they would be stripped of the cloth and they would be. too. chicken and hard trade you know other stuff and of course there would be contact between the. victims so it seems that. it raises more questions of how the agent was introduced in their bodies how they were exposed. fortunately the surgeon bailey was also exposed and look he actually contacted screwballs
5:37 pm
for just about several minutes and he was exposed but the person now who dealt with scruples was not exposed but as mentioned the u.k. government accuses moscow of poison script and his daughter and in some surprisingly blunt terms to the u.k. defense secretary once even told russia to shut up and go away well last later where he actually regretted making that remark happen williamson did try to dodge the question. by to pay tribute to the health service person sorry can you answer the mayor no no no no no no i'm you regret using that kind of casual language the world your world united behind britain and one more time would you please answer the question we came together with our allies and why not go to russia to interview terminated because you won't answer the question good luck with the african elephant for project. international still ahead feed us our leading us democrat makes fresh allegations about alleged trump russia connections we'll have
5:38 pm
a look at those just after the break. when lawmakers manufacture consensus instead of public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. in the final. thinking or middle of the room signal. the real news is. a. little more hard sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings commits to the chickenhawk forcing you to fight the battles they're going. to stop spreading tell you the celebrity gossip and tabloid by falsehoods or news. off our eyes and tell me you are not full enough and
5:39 pm
let's fight. all the hawks that we along with all those walking. out again i don't know trump has repeatedly called the investigation into alleged collusion with russia a witch hunt but according to one democrat that some move straight out of the kremlin's playbook often has more. according to a top democrat in congress if you use the term which on to and you say it over and over and over again which of which aren't you maybe a dupe of the kremlin listen to maxine waters talk about trump he's a lying about which but you notice that he says will turn over and over again he has learned some of the russian tactics about how you you know deal with getting
5:40 pm
people to believe you you say it over and over again so repeating something over and over and over again is a russian thing that may not be the wisest thing for the democrats to say they've had the same song on repeat for roughly two years russia has hacked into a lot of things the criminal clan russia was meddling in our election russia undermined hillary clinton tov or russian hacking operation these hacks have taken place by russians intelligence committee says that russia is behind this in some form it's goal to do with russia and of course ian brown sugar rush is a russian so if trump invented the term which why did the democrats use that exact same term back in the one nine hundred ninety s. when bill clinton's sex scandal was all over the headlines smells like a double standard to me speaking of double standards remember how the democrats pounded the podium against gina haskell the new cia chief there are two reasons that i oppose this nomination miss haskel support for torture and her willingness
5:41 pm
to destroy evidence of the cia's use of torture and i have serious concerns about. her confirmation and what kind of signal sent this lady is the real do i'm telling you we're here with everything we possibly think she answered didn't flinch at all well it turns out that while this controversial interrogation program was going on democrats in congress were getting briefings the entire time and did nothing about it and now after the dog and pony show at the hearings is over gina haskell is getting the job and why is gina haskell the new cia chief because two democrats voted for her to an intelligence committee look spoiled. to indorse president trump's pick to head the cia gina haskell today this clears the path of her confirmation of cia director if she gained support from democrat senate democrats back when she was secretary of state hillary clinton was always criticizing countries around the world for their human rights record she even pushed obama to send cruise missiles to libya back in two thousand and eleven supposedly to defend
5:42 pm
human rights yet at the same time her personal foundation the clinton foundation had no problem getting donations from the very countries that she was criticizing and sooty arabia giving twenty five billion dollars could tar all of these countries you talk about women or women's rights so these are people that push gays office buildings these are people that kill women and treat women horribly and yet you take their money so the democrats talk one way and act another i'm not sure where we're finding all these russian tactics they're constantly making reference to because they seem to be practicing double standards all along. r.t. new york. finally one of the biggest sports events of the year the football world cup is almost upon us just two weeks away in artie's peter schmeichel big trip across russia visiting all of the host cities is almost complete well today the legendary goalkeeper reports from surrounds does have special significance to you
5:43 pm
for peter schmeichel as that's where his country denmark and his son casper will start their tournament journey. it's. welcome to summarise corrina like so many of the other stadiums this is purposely built for the world cup. full games being played here and the first of those has a personal interest to me because that will feature my son playing in this pitch but then begins to. presume team b. that will be done which for. the last time i was in a dressing room with a play about two hundred years ago that said they didn't look like this it's absolutely fantastic and i think in this seat that all people for whatever team is
5:44 pm
playing it will be sad and since denmark my son play in the first game and uses this gesture and i think this will be cast aside. i think emotion the players i've got the feeling of denmark playing obviously but also with my son in there some of the. most of them and maybe any other game that you face this is a welcome to well coffee's massive. have the sunshine and. i'm very proud of. what else is going on around here and peter schmeichel and i'm here to find out. i mean the museum surrounds and that's a permanent exhibition by a fellow called. at least i think that's how you pronounce it he is an extraordinary artist the centerpiece of the whole exhibition is this. it's called
5:45 pm
moses it's made from one. piece of wood and one of the must have been some. tree but it's fantastic it is and so so many other of his pieces in here. it looks a little bit like a very famous or an elder but let me just see if i can find a picture of him. to go. over the common over from this angle it looks more like a new front. and from over here. from here it's the spitting image of flume for fun how that anklet you see when it was made. it was made in nineteen sixty two. so maybe from how did the model for this.
5:46 pm
i really got inspired by being in the museum so i phoned up a local artist called your idiom just to see if i could use his art gallery and as you can see he's quite a competent artist himself with exhibitions basically everywhere in the world so it was nice and all welcome thank you very much and i really want to see if i can paint so do you mind if i if i use your pencils and colors and yes of course. i'm not sure what's going to end up on the canvas but i will attempt. to. paint a face. and if painting growing up we didn't have that and when this was my school i always enjoyed joint. i really like a guy an american guy. and here his name is just a condo or
5:47 pm
a enjoy his work but then of course my my favorites like everybody else would say it was half the peak hour. well so sad. for thinking so. scared of him. he's going to say it's not my best piece but then sin is my only piece it is my best piece. and this is how it looks. i'm just about to go orange days now and speak to the defense a fair and this is special for me because this is where i tend not to play the first game but you know hopefully this guy will support that i mean you really were far off the only peaceful and quiet shift to all night i'm. sitting here.
5:48 pm
i've just been traveling around russia to see all the host cities and this one is the one that i have been looking forward to six weeks. this is where the well cup starts for me emotionally and since i came out so this is using a i expect that all of you will from now on suppose that my. son . said. you know.
5:49 pm
5:50 pm
greetings and salutation. all the world is a stage hawk watchers especially in the wild and woolly world of western politics where more often than not the bigger that the quills the higher yield from the proverbial box office of political power points and defense spending and nothing nothing brings out the spending more than the classic tale of good versus evil and thankfully the united states who curiously always cast themselves as the action movie good guy has built for itself and its plucky wise cracking european allies some classic the islands to choose from these days you've got kim jong un and north korea iran and the ayatollah always a big box office draw for our allies in the middle east like saudi arabia and israel and of course there is our classic old foe russia and our bond villain in waiting president vladimir putin since the alleged d.n.c. hack in the election of donald trump russia has been put back in the villain
5:51 pm
spotlight stoking age old fears at home and abroad as well take home for example where it was recently discovered that they offered the united states a two billion dollar boxoffice of exchange rate brand spanking new u.s. military base yes because that is truly what the world needs right now yet another u.s. military base in a document of tame by the polish news portal outlet the polish defense ministry states poland is a stud fast ally of the united states and is committed to advancing our shared interests and values which are increasingly being threatened by russian interference a permanent us presence in poland will ensure that both nations can continue to advance strengthen and protect the. values and interests and this we know nothing plays to the heartstrings of the pentagon and the us congress more than shared interests values and two billion in military industrial dollars so with nato
5:52 pm
advancing russia getting typecast to the united states collecting allies checks i think it's time to start watching the hawks. but that's. the bottom. like you that i got. this. week so. welcome everybody to watching the harks i am i robot and i'm. one years ago i got confused sometimes twenty eight tina eating and i use your maybe one hundred eighty five bodies. that's where we're at you know it's all right so poems
5:53 pm
offering two billion dollars joint kind of kind of lure to build a permanent military base there because they're so afraid of evil russia they need a military base there. yet the us is the one to invade countries the us is the one to build a global empire like all of that sort of that is always off to me. kind of happy that like they're offering to help pay for it i mean you don't see that very often you know usually we're the ones attacked u.s. taxpayers are the ones like clip in the bill for all these bases but they're pleading telling you they're pleading this letter that reads like a love letter they're just like please please we love you look great we are looking a well we get along it's like you know it's like you know they're asking their uncle to come over and build the garage that you know to store their cars. but not like wanting to just bag and go play and all as. the defense ministry pleaded that they are committed a method to share the burden of defense spending making the decision more cost
5:54 pm
effective for the u.s. government and allay any concerns for congress in uncertain budgetary times seems like it's like buddy roemer we used to play red light green light together we grew up together we're buddies i help you pay for their plea and yet it seems it's a bit like. i hate. conflict two things that make this a sports metaphor of all things but this feels like we'll build you a stadium and then you can come nearer and win win more war winning more winning yeah i don't i find it very odd first of all as you said we don't need bases i find the idea that this somehow having a military base there will will help. work together against interference which was apparently some facebook ads so i'm just a little confused over how a military base with guns and bombs and takes and french writer jets and missiles
5:55 pm
is going to help keep the russians from posting facebook i guess they have fears russia is going to just invade poland well what this is saying it's like why would why would they do that that's the big that's the kind of you know they always point to a well good luck crimea look at this look at their runs in the crimea either right i love how again how the north say it's like i'm bringing up crimea like she just it's suddenly because desire again because they need something but here's the deal you didn't care you didn't care while they were going on in care about why was actually happening to people and they never do until it's newsworthy where where were all the great inside reports from crimea the russians dragging be able to the . don't know story none wrote as if it's some sort of logo as jews ages ago and. it was relatively peaceful there little pissy little no i
5:56 pm
mean why would the medo the united states who pays what it's all just gross i think it's really a disgusting situation and nobody on and you side is right from my perspective because there are literally sitting there there's this two percent that everyone has to pay. but it's a bit like you know vito corleone and i did say you. to our son of whatever you like and you know we'll make sure you're protected if there's a war. i find that a little weird it is and this two percent is suggestive the agreement that they'll pay those spend that much on defense. but twenty seventeen according to sign magazine just five of the twenty medo members actually had met that required and here's the thing trump has been saying the administration is saying this you know we're you know. they're fold or else or else i visited all of those in a kitty it's like our also what. what you what are you going to do close bases
5:57 pm
that would actually be a good idea. threatening i don't understand why you would put threats into the most of the day that's ridiculous that they go spend two percent of their gross domestic product on war which means bias in the united states so everybody at raytheon can make an x. executive bonuses. for good you know us military bases like eighty countries around the world are part of what's cool anybody. for about three years two researchers in the u.k. went about studying the facts of a thousand person office while they were transitioning from a traditional workspace to a newly designed open office plan lead author dr allison hearst found in the study that called doing gender in the new office that women in particular felt anxious about the idea of being constantly watched and felt they had to dress in a certain way however there was also evidence that workers felt more equal as everybody was more approachable in an open space it was also seen by some as
5:58 pm
a chance to dress more smartly and fulfill a new identity now the study didn't really find anything particularly new and in two thousand and eight australian study of open office plans they concluded that research evidence shows that employees face a multitude of problems. such as a loss of privacy loss of identity will work productivity various health issues over stimulation and low job satisfaction when working in an open office planned work environment and yet the headlines following the u.k. studies release claim but they study you prove the quote unintended sexism of office open office spaces asked if they encouraged sexism and even framed the alleged sexism subtle openoffice plans have a lot of problems for all workers male or female but is using sexism to explain the open office plans failure is just another way to paint women as a weak sensitive and paranoid you could. turn over the wall is your woman who's
5:59 pm
worked in the workforce over the years is it open office wildly sexist. does it like invite you know sexist remarks and like. you know more than just you know being around and have really been around to. be overawed by your angry or found that i haven't had that experience i do find it funny there was a the idea of the male gay yeah i'm not saying that men don't watch each other or that women don't watch each other we all watch each other but. because you know there's like i hear the study is that ok we do have an open office environment like you're seeing like is all that random like silicon valley in places like ok you know why is an office that's all open big chairs everyone can see what everyone is doing or sometimes they put videos up on the wall of what you're actually doing on the computer like you know crazy stuff like that yeah but what's interesting is the
6:00 pm
women in the office in this study which is a pretty vast study i mean they interviewed twenty seven women thirteen men over one to two hours over the course of like three years of this intensive. and that included observation interviews seeing how they interacted people work the whole bit now women in the office said they felt that the new office set up this open office made them hyper aware that men were constantly watching that. one woman told researchers if you were a female that would definitely get a comment from all the men because they would notice yours that makes it easier to notice like the good looking woman walking by in the office because you can see everything there's no hallways or like offices to hide it. so that's what they claim. i'm going to say yes i guess that i'm not saying that doesn't exist the men don't watch that women don't watch that we don't watch whatever you know something i find attack and i don't think that's that i think that it's going a step further.
