form a government so let's get some reaction now from marcus and he's professor of politics university of milan and he joins us now. you're very welcome firstly we you surprise them by the smilie by the president. oh yes quite frankly i was that was a little bit surprise it's like the very first time that any of this or after it's in seventy years the constitution is all about seventy years and there has been nothing like that before or there's just no comparison this is this is a constitutional crisis of political process and of course on there's an economic crisis in italy that's been going on for ten years showing up so i was going to say why so sorry mark i was going to say to some people have not called for the impatient saying the president. is that likely to happen or is he acting well within the constitution no not really you see that's the wording of the constitution is like the prime minister will just come up with a list of ministries and then though the president will pick them or will select them will nominate them right so the wording is is right there you can say is it a notary p

. >> she was -- in 1990 she debated basically her opponents at the university of milan. she was almost blind. she was led up on the stage. at the end of the speech the moderator whob was the head of souther bey europe said aim not a christian, i don't believe in christianity. it seems tshe found peter. she did. that has been acknowledged by pope francis. the story is amazing. the inscriptions are amazing and astounding. she had traveled all over the roman world in order to fully decode the early inscriptions. the christians had to write in code because they were being killed. not so much as what we saw from isis in the middle east. lou: and the persecution as you note in your book continues. and you're contributing all of your proceeds from your book "the fisherman's tomb" to the cause of those christians who are being pe persecuted. and i just want to, if i may very quickly, commend you again and recommend the book to our audience. it is a terrific, terrific read. a fascinating story. and i have to say, john, you've outdone yourself with this one. this is, i think, spect

opportunity to a caretaker prime minister a couple of names out there is the former chancellor of university in milan, guid guido tabellini. we have heard from lega and five star if that happens they would not give that approval >> thanks for that joining us around the desk is jack allen, european economist at capital european economics. up until now, i was talking about ten-year yields, but up until the last week or so, markets were agnostic. we barely saw any movement in italian assets after the march 4th elections. why do i think that's the case >> i think immediately after the elections all the headlines were saying big gains for populist parties, but until the last few days it seemed unlikely that any of those parties would make it into government. that's why we probably saw yields fall, spreads narrow in italy until the last few days when it seemed like they might be able to form a government those negotiations could still fall through that's pruesumably why we have not seen much bigger increases in yields. if they form a government, which maybe they will, maybe they won't, there's a place for

the older zero to one of us milan is director of the iranian studies program at stanford university and he's joining us live from there thank you very much indeed for being with us on al-jazeera are we seeing the start of this of a shift in the balance of power in iranian politics as a result of this. i think as a result of mr trump's decision clearly the hardliners feel emboldened they feel like they have been vindicated mr hominy clearly has repeated that he has been vindicated and they are trying to stop dish the ground i think for a far more oppressive seizure of power maybe by di r.g.c. that would not be in my view. and likely what adds to the urgency of the situation is the economic virtual collapse of the iranian currency and all the other kind of problems that are making the situation very fraught for the regime and for mr rove. if the hardliners continue to make statements as we've just mentioned threatening in this case the destruction of two israeli cities for example is that going to make it less likely that it's going to be able to reach some sort of deal with the co signat

milan is director of the iranian studies program at stanford university and he says that sort of threatening language from hardline iranian politicians will make it difficult to salvage the twenty fifty nuclear deal i think this kind of a foolish rhetoric by top clerics and top clerics who are directly appointed by mr harmony is going to make it very difficult for europeans to make the kind of effort they need to make and the kind of effort they have begun to make to possibly salvage the deal you can't try to help a regime that is constantly threatening the destruction of major other cities questions are being asked in kenya about whether a dam which bursting killed at least fifty people and why the city had the necessary permits the water resources authority says no but the interior ministry's told al-jazeera the operation was entirely legal police are now investigating the chinese t.v. channels being barred from airing the univision the song contest go t.v. censored a gay themed elements during his broadcast of tuesday's semifinal the station also chose not to air ireland's performance whi

all still on the mexican side of the border but the pilot is a professor of law at santa clara university joins me now from milan a parking california vice cut good to have you with us on the program just so international viewers to understand what all the rights that asylum seekers have when they arrive at the border of the united states and american legal. here's the united states like many countries are subject to international agreements and one of those international agreements specifies that the united states has to give credence to credible claims that people are being persecuted and if they can show that they are and they have they must give asylum within the country the law in the united states is that for individuals who can show that they have a well founded fear of persecution on account of either their race their religion their nationality their political opinion or their membership in a particular social group if they can show that to the satisfaction of u.s. immigration authorities the united states is obligated under its own laws and the international law to grant those people asylum so what's yo

the university in milan estimate that could cost more than $125 billion euros a year cost savings meanwhile would be only half a billion. you can see a pretty massive, gaping hole there in terms of finances that looks like it's been included at 780 euros a month for poor families here in italy, but it will be tied to job seeking assets as well as means so that is essentially a typical unemployment benefit in terms of sanctions on moscow, that's something they're hoping to withdraw and migration is a big issue during the election here for all the major parties they're looking to immediately deport over half a million migrants across italy and looking to include the deportation camps for those migrants will people will be held for 18 months >> just in terms of timing, can you tell us a sense of how quickly this government formation process is going to go if all goes to plan, as you say, later this afternoon and then also when this new government or new prime minister will have its first meeting with the rest of europe we heard from the french finance minister over the weekend, mr. lemeia who is firing a few shots at the government saying you have to have a few budget rules. >> yes
