and in turn support an agreement with greece to change the country's name to north macedonia. so it comes down to some in the country's desire to join the alliances after previous attempts have been blocked by greece this time its neighbor seems to have found a bargaining chip for macedonia as a session to nato but there are still hurdles to overcome the first sticking point is that the referendums outcome lacks and he legal clout and is subject to approval by the states parliament the country's incumbent president. is not on board either and has been urging the public to boycott the referendum. it is violence against our historical memory the aim is to limit the use of the name to macedonians to the smallest possible space and there is the space between the two is all while keeping on miles close to the republican macedonia is now asked to commit legal and historical suicide so the legal abolishment of the macedonian people can be interpreted as its own will. even if all this doesn't get in the way there's still one final step joining nato it won't be possible until the next

many of these asylum seekers will end up receiving international protection and staying in greece they will then face the hardships greeks face of making a living in a depressed economy but that will be the normality they miss jumps out of the last al-jazeera. now again i'm a little bit proud of and on how with the headlines on al-jazeera u.s. vice president mike pence has accused china of interfering with american politics and technology he says beijing is using economic and military tools as well as propaganda to advance its interests in the u.s. china's foreign ministry has rejected the allegations saying pence has committed slander top republicans in the u.s. so there's no hint of misconduct in the f.b.i. report from the supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh but senate democrats argue that the report into sexual assault allegations and complete the senate is expected to vote on cavanagh's confirmation later this week hundreds of thousands of ended asians are still in need of help on the island of soloway sea after an earthquake and tsunami has a way to go more than fifteen hundred

that's a very bad position that reminds one of greece when greece was merely leaving the euro in two thousand and fifteen if the government can borrow well looks very much towards that it might have to abandon the euro and go back to vision lira now we know the deficit spending is not unheard of especially when trying to stimulate an economy so why do analysts in this case look so concerned when they are speak in such concerned manner when they look at the italian budget. well you know you can make an argument for government to do most anything or you can make an argument for government to do less spending and in both cases the objective could be to bring down the government's debt. stimulus you have that's what the government's own doing but the rest of the european union and indeed other commentators seem to think that's the moment rogo for it's on the i suppose it's a little given its reputation even before he joined the euro the government they had a reputation for spending too much and having inflation may join the euro is to spend too much but it couldn't have the inflation of

it's not really understates the problem i think if italy if there was an italy crisis it would make greece look like it's a policy i think mr young because rhetoric solely understates the contagion could result as a result of italy trajectory getting out of control would it make sense to fall for it to lead to to leave the euro as some leading italian politicians have suggested. no not that would be a catastrophic scenario under any circumstances just think about the overall debt the stability of the banking system all of those states would have to be read denominated in lira it could take the entire european banking system down with it and i think this is where the european commission really needs to tread carefully when it comes to dealing with these politicians because for me i think i think that . walking into a trap laid by this new italian government so how to deal done with this new italian government. well i don't think what the italian government is asking for is actually unreasonable they're also going for a budget deficit of two point four percent of g.d.p. that's under the thre
