largest so now that the country is being run by euro skeptics it's really chooses to challenge the e.u. had all would be in you have to treat it differently than we did with a smaller country like greece. things are even worse than the situation with greece of course because it's an economically it's ten times as big so the european union will somehow first of course try to have to talk to them negotiate try to figure out a way out of the conundrum because what this new government here wants to do is to spend huge amounts of money and that is not really possible because financial markets will lose face in italian bonds quickly the banks are still fragile the whole thing can go downhill really quickly if that can't be done negotiates. to be head then of course there will be an all out fight and the european union will have to dig in its heels and nobody is really looking forward to that situation which may be just a few months down the road actually. in rome thank you. spade acts where prime minister mariano rajoy has been removed after losing a no confidence vote in parliament admitting def
