its coalition partner the anti—establishment five star movement was beaten by the centre—left democraticeeds, by 23. —— seats. and you can see the other groups there as well. let's go on to the shower, though, this is particularly interesting. the league got 34%, compare that to 2014 where they got 6.2%. and as you go down you see their coalition partners, five star got 17%, that is most and exact —— almost an exact inversion of how the coalition has been going in italy. we'll get some analysis on that in just in italy. we'll get some analysis on that injust a in italy. we'll get some analysis on that in just a moment. in italy. we'll get some analysis on that injust a moment. but in italy. we'll get some analysis on that in just a moment. but first let's hear from matteo salvini, leader of the five star party. translation: it is not only the league, marine le pen has the first party in france, nigel farage is the first party in britain, so italy, france, great britain. it is the sign ofa france, great britain. it is the sign of a europe that is changing, europe tired of the powers of th

also interesting to look at the macro ——at the five—star movement. cause really, with a lot of these european parliament elections, what we're talking about are the issues that are big at home and you see this reflection taking place in the european parliament. for italy and the matteo salvini, it's really been about immigration and the economy. that is something that definitely when you are here it comes to the forefront of the minds of people quite quickly, whether they agree with mr sell venial not. the economy is the other issue. unemployment is at 10.6 nationally, 30.6 when you get to youth unemployment and felt more cleanly in the south. the south would have been against the league but he has come down and revise the way he speaks to the self. he previously denigrated people who we re previously denigrated people who were living in the bottom half of the country. but they are voting for him now and for a party in rome as well. what i am curious about is what is he going to do with that result? that was the question i was about to ask you. what d

its coalition partner the anti—establishment five star movement was beaten by the centre—left democraticvini had to say. the democrats having a bit of a plunge. the league going through the roof. about a third of the votes. matteo salvini pretty happy after that. translation: it is not only the lega that's the first in italy. marine le pen has the first party in france. nigel farage is the first party in britain. so italy, france and great britain. it is a sign of a europe that is changing, a europe tired of the powers of the elites, finance, multinationals, and from tomorrow we will have to redouble our efforts. we canjoin we can join nuala we canjoin nuala in rome, she's been monitoring this. for mr salvini, a very good result domesticly, let's start from that perspective. definitely. when it comes to these european parliament elections that you've been covering over the past day, what we're really seeing is when they have votes in parliament, it's really a reflection of national issues, nowhere more than italy and matteo salvini of la lega, or the league, he is in current issue with t

he wants to push ahead with policies that are not going to necessarily be supported by the five star movement. this will remain a africa tuss coalition going forward. there is also speculation that he wants to get rid of some of the five star ministers. there is plenty of room for clashes in the future and also the role of the prime minister. the prime minister was a compromise candidate. he has been put forward by the five star movement. where does that leave his position? most people believe the deputy prime minister iseally the e a shaky al force in this coalition. it will probably hold together in the short-term term but in a fefew months' time, who knows? sosolvini c could push to disis e parliaiament,all for fresh elections. we will have to wait and see. >> moving on, in the latest development in the u.s. abortion debate, missouri is planning to ban the state's only clinic from carrying out pregnancy terminations saying it hasn't complied with regulations. in response planned parenthood says it's a political tactic and court.en the case to >> missouri's last abortion clinic, will it shu

with a price tag of about six billion euros but the criticism isn't deterring luigi demaio his five star movement wants to get the program up and running before european elections. it was one of their election promises very important ambition of this government specially for the five star which has come under increasing pressure in recent months. italian authorities have been busy with applications for weeks a lot to do with the payments will be strictly monitored money won't go directly into bank accounts rather on to special credit cards it's strictly forbidden for example to buy lottery tickets buy items online or book on flights but experts doubt if the system will have the effect on the country's economy but the government promises. the basic income is rich states investment policies that were implemented by many european countries up until well into the one nine hundred seventy s. and then bit by bit disappeared. rafaela ferraro says she will vote for the five star movement next time she goes to the polls she's grateful for the money but she would rather have a job. still to come on day w.

about the need for a flat tax and the conflict that inherently with his coalition partners five star movement that has been much more focused on trying to distribute wealth the idea of stimulating the economy with a flat tax is something a lot of economists globally have said is the right idea but that's not necessarily been the reaction from the european commission. today is a very important day. not only are we going to speak to the central bank governor here, but also we're expecting to hear a letter from the finance minister giving the italian government's response to concerns about the fact that growth targets have not managed to meet the expectations they set several months ago, which at the time helped stave off some of the european commission's concerns those concerns will roar back front and center ahead of the 2020 budget discussions that could happen as soon as september. if there is any indication of a new set of elections, if the head of labor decides he's done so well in the european parliame parliamentary elections, then those elections would play into that timetable around bud

they are surpassing the five-star movement. this is mostly due to domestic things.f you see far right movements in other countries, they all have a very domestiticly concerd program and have problems that are most of all domestic programs and outs european problems. even though they announced he wanted to change european politics from within, we cannot really count on what he memeans. in the current situation the outcome of these elections they don't have the majority they would have had necessary t to adopt his kind of policy chahan. i think he e will further coconcentrate on domestic affais in italy and try to consolidate his position in this country. ofre isis not the same kikind black wave of populist parties. in other countries the populist parties have rather lost votes. if you look in germany, they are not concerned. in spain, it has not come through. the only case where we could s y another popupulist party actctuy has confirmed itself is france.. britain is a particular case. the brexit party. we see a stagnation of right-wing parties a across europe.. thei

and lega was victorious in italy with around 30% of the vote while its coalition partner the five-star movement lost significant ground on the face of the numbers, that sounds like a significant shift away from the centrist parties raises the prospect of a more difficult parliament over the next five years and a certain amount in the political extremes but i think there will be many in the center and those who are very much at the heart of the e.u. project who will be saturday with the results given the fact that 2/3 of the parliament will still be represented by meps who who can tell us more about the reaction about the heart of this this morning. sylvia >> yes these european election results are a victory for the establishment in the sense that more people voted and, indeed, that the european parliament is still a pro euro peechb chamber. however, as you mentioned, they are more fragmented so this means it's going to be even more complicated. so in the coming hours, in the coming days we need to look at the negotiations wean the pro european union and the greens, the liberals, the social clev

as we head into these elections >> it really resolves around the desire on the part of the five-star movement, the party that got the larger share of the vote in last year's national italian elections to spend more money. this will have a bearing on the country's budget, and a significant one. i had a chance to sit down with one of his party's candidates for the u.s. parliamentary elections. she's a krd for the southern region of italy. she's a political novice, but i asked her after 1 1 months why is it that the lega party in government has failed to pass any meaningful legislation that could reduce taxes or introduce a flat tax for italians. >> translator: i think that we need more time in those 1 1 months we have implemented a series of laws that respect our commitments in the next few months we will implimt plemt more laws, including tax cuts we've seen how a flat tax gets companies more chances to envest and create new jobs. i believe that the next few months will be able to meet all of our commitments we've seen it when it comes to the pension or which has been dismantled. his partner i

southern part of italy, forh affected those results a catastrophic drop in preferences for the five-star movementdemocrats resuscitated like a phoenix. they were pretty much given up for dead because of the infighting. the government has rallied the of not the extreme left, trying to go towards the center, amalgamating a lot of good thinking people, increasing their percentage at the polls yesterday very significantly. i don't think they will pose an existential threat to the current government, mostly because of the fact that there is no current alternative to the five x coalition. think ist do you needed to boost growth in italy? the lack of growth momentum in this economy catches the eye of many economists. how about you as an investor? marco: a measured wand. no, just kidding. really, probably some very good weather. we have had the worst spot of weather in may for the last 30 years. id. believe that what has happened in the recent past is a sign of the future, but i think we are looking forward to some very different things. i think that if italy proposes the flat tax idea, embraces this ,la

also worth noting, look in third, the league formed a coalition government with the populist five star movementat would be a profound concern to its supporters. here is matteo salvini, confirming he is the dominant force in italy and celebrating with his supporters. translation: the balance changes for sure, the league is first in italy. marine le pen's party is first in france. nigel farage's party is first in the uk. orban's party is first in hungary. kitchen ski's party is first in poland. this means there is a desire for change, a desire for work, a desire for dignity. let's be clear, not all populist parties shared in the success that salvini saw. in the netherlands could build a's party was all of its seats. right—wing parties also struggled in spain and in denmark. let's speak to sylvia, a correspondent for politico, live for us from rome. thank you for joining us on outside source. were you surprised by the scale of salvini's victory? the scale was pretty big in the polls before the elections all gave him under 30%, so with a lot of commentary about him being down in the polls compared

think thedo you coalition between the five-star movement and -- well collapse?ll the plug? claudio: we are a coalition based on the contract because you may remember, we were not went into election as a formed alliance. we sort of found a way to make this, as long as we are able to carry on with the reforms set up in the contract. tom: we are thrilled to have you with us today, particularly after ambrose evans pritchard wrote you up in the telegraph yesterday. it is 531 miles from milan to paris. france has a far more deficient financial structure than italy. when will germany get off your back and put the house in order in more troubled countries like france? claudio: we are not asking for any kind of guarantee beyond what happened. i would like to remember that most of the european banks collapsed in 2008 and have been rescued by the state. this has not been the case of everly. -- italy. the amount of state support that we put in our banking system is probably the smallest. questionme ask you a and it is a delicate question. when you support the italian banks

worth noting that the league forms the government, the italian government, with the populist five star movementsalvini confirming he is now the dominant political force in italy, and he spoke to the press. translation: the balance changes for sure. the league is first in italy. marine le pen's party is first in france will stop nigel farage's party is first in the uk. orban's party is first in the uk. orban's party is first in the uk. orban's party is first in hungary. kitchen ski's party is first in poland. this means there is the desire for change, there is a desire for work, there is a desire for dignity. but not all populist parties and right—wing parties shared in that success. in the netherlands, curt wild the's party the freedom party lost all of its seats. right—wing parties also struggled in spain and in denmark too. let's hearfrom cristobal rivera, who co—authored a book about populism. if it is very important because sometimes we get the impression at least from reading the newspapers that these parties are the real winners across europe, and as though you are pointing it out, it may

we have a trading places situation because, as you know, previously, the five-star movement was the seniornd this coalition. now the leak takes over that position. they basically swapped positions in terms of percentage of votes from what came out last year. so savini, who has similarly called the shots, now has the clout to do that. you can now push with his side of the program, the league side of the program, and while he's saying he's not going to pull the plug, that he will continue to work with five-star, it certainly is clear that the league is the top dog in italy. nejra: thanks. let's turn to you in westminster. brexit wreaking havoc for labour and the conservatives in the u.k.. what can we take away from the results so far, showing the brexit party in the lead? annmarie: that's the biggest tech away. brexit is -- take away. brexit is killing the parties. both parties have a massive vote, especially conservatives, given they are the ones in power. the two parties, the brexit party and liberal democrats had unambiguous message to the voters. it's very clear that's what the voters wa

going to put the government in crisis because many thought he would try to rid himself of the five star movement. the interesting question is, what will he do with this power he has attained? we've been speaking about the fact that in some countries the more far right movements didn't do as well as had been anticipated. that is not the case in italy, where they did too well. if there will be an insurgency in the european union from inside, will it be from italy? two schools of thought, as there are with a lot of thought, as there are with a lot of these narratives. some feel, yes, what he has set out to do, he has achieved. he will try to transform from within. looking for a europe of nations, more sovereignty. keeps talking about being able to change the budgetary rules for example that the budgetary rules for example that the eu implements. he feels they are too punitive on italy. there are others instead that few if he takes on this man so as the king of the populist movement, he will find italy very isolated because the big issue that probably was a rallying cry to get the votes was that of

the focus is very much on the movement of the populist parties, the likes of the nominally five star movementnse from them that they are prepared to align themselves in a future european parliament with the likes of marine le pen, the afd, or other splits between them? as you say, these are nationalist parties, as such, they put their countryfor us. as such, they put their countryfor us. we can judge as such, they put their countryfor us. we canjudge how far mrs albini is getting by who is on stage with him. marine le pen turned up, representing her party in france. the freedom party from the netherlands was also there, they are willing to work as well. there were two very conspicuous absentees, looked at all but was not there. the law and justice party, the people in charge in poland, though there are nationalist sentiments they may share with other people, they say that they are not going to work with marine le pen. while it is easy to see these far right parties initially parties in one coherent block, mr salvini would like to see that, we know what they oppose, they oppose brussels in its

dynamic and creates so much of an opening, it's happening in -- it happened in italy with the five star movement, it happened in this country with the rise of donald trump. what is is it that drives voters now to, you know, not really trust the traditional political establishment and to be willing to basically just, you know, throw caution to the wind? is this -- or is that not the norm? we saw in macron, we have seen a lot of outsiders who just basically have come out of nowhere and totally turned political order upside down. >> i'm glad you mentioned macron because he's the same age. they're both 40. never ran for anything in his life. created a movement outside the party structures. and is now actually, zelensky is facing the tactical choice macron is, don't have a party, don't have a base wu bbut we ha lot of momentum. within two months, you have parliamentary elections in france, and his party that didn't exist the year before won the full control of the parliament. to your question, it's really, i think, one shows that ukraine has been an avanguardist sort of lace throughout the post cold

michael: his party is starting to fracture the coalition with the five-star movement, so at this point he sort of pushing the other side away and saying i'm going to take the leap forward and start appealing to the populist base again. where have we heard that in politics lately? we's been pushing this idea. it doesn't mean they are really going to go out and spend more. it is hard to know exactly what they can get through parliament, but it does worry investors because with the size of italy's bond market, and the weakness of its banks, it is a particular systemic risk. people keep an eye on that, and you shift the risk from italy to germany. -11 basis points is where we sit for the 10 year bund yield. the iea came out and warned on a supply risk, saying production in iran was down to 2.6 million barrels of oil in april, but in may it could fall down to the lowest level since the 1980's. then you hear all of the headlines over the last 24 hours, but the oil market seems to take that in stride. what are you noticing about investor sentiment? we've been seeing significant outflows over

but bearin five star movement followed.wanted voice in europe. the bear this in mind, he's no longer talking about leaving europe or having referendum is about the or euro membership also he wants to disrupt the institution from within. thank you very much for the update. we saw the italian results there. james reynolds, our correspondent in milan. and, just highlight some of the results of sin in brussels. —— seen in. highlight some of the results of sin in brussels. -- seen in. it's been quite new ones in the end, you remember those big headlines leading up remember those big headlines leading up to the election on the european stage will be in the uk focused on brexit? —— nuanced, the rest of the eu was either worried or excited about the more nationalist right—wing parties doing extremely well here. the parties are no longer, as james said, wanting to leave the eu because voters didn't seem that keen on that idea anymore, they wanted to change the eu dramatically from within. they've got the establishment rattled but to

and actually the other partner, the five star movement didn't do so well. it is complicated to call early elections, so the coalition could stay. the other thing is that there's no really reason for the northern league to go for new elections just ahead of submitting the budget to the european commission. so that could a reason why they stick together, but in the medium terges i would say that coalition looks increasingly fragile. anna: some people have linked the results of the election, the rise of populists, and the way that the established parties are under threat, and maybe we've got some transition governments in place in europe or lame-dumb governments, some are suggesting this could delay some key appointments at european level, including who takes over for mario draghi. what are your thoughts on who takes over and how quickly that ecision comes? thomas: well, i think there's a lot of trading. many top spots are up for grabs, including the european central bank president, currently mario drag eefment he's going to -- mario draghi. he's going leave s

biggest support is for a leading part in italy, but also those who support for the populist movement of five stars populist and right wing. -- lots of support. it's interesting that you make a distinction between eurosceptics and europhobes. but if a lot of, shall we say, anti—european meps get elected, when they take up their seats in the european parliament, do you think they will band together? european parliament, do you think they will band together7m european parliament, do you think they will band together? it depends on the situation. maybe it would be a possible situation that after this election, they could form a big coalition of mainstream parties like socialists, liberals and communists, and on the other side parties considered as populous and right wing. it depends how much seats they will have on the parliament and what will have on the parliament and what will be the position. because on the right side, you will have as you mentioned the europhobic and also eurosceptic parties. a will be very interesting, with european separatists... with these parties in european parliament, after

this populist movement has surged in the election changing the situation with the five start. five star has happened as many votes. nejra: great to have you with us. anne-marie, caroline, and john. giving us the roundup from all across europe. marie owens thompson joins us. marie, great to have you with us this morning. thank you for joining. even the results we have so far can we breathe a sigh of relief that the populist backlash has been stymied? marie: they have increased their bye to share but arguably less than our worst fears and to the extent that the european elementary elections tend to be protest votes, where people take the opportunity to express their most perhaps extreme positions then indeed, the result is better than expected. nejra: better than expected. of aat case, how much more risk is political risk to the eurozone growth picture for the rest of the year? u.k.: we still have the and its issue of how to exit the european union to contend with, that is for sure. and of course, the strong support for the liga in italy. europeantors will cap market performance. the more
