i think that silvio berlusconi is a product. he's not a man, and being a product, you know, the rule of advertising - it doesn't matter what you say about it. but the important thing is that you talk about it. it works for him. so for him the idea, the focus is to be on the add lines. if you thing about the scandal. sex with teenage girls or something, you have never lost -- he never lost elections because of that. i don't think it will affect too much his political activities. if the punishment would have been home arrest, that would have been different, because in this way he could campaign for european election, because he's allowed to go for three days a week. it's not really a punishment. >> good to talk to you. sorry for the loss of light. we have major electrics in milan. thank you very much indeed. >> now, it was britain's worst sporting tragedy. 96 men, women and children crushed to death during a football match in 1989 in sheffield's hills borough stadium. 25 years on the liverpool fans who died have been remembered by
