james, has italy finally got its government? yes, it has.ns after the president vetoed their choice of a euro—sceptic finance minister. there then followed a political opera several dozen acts. that is now over. the country knows where it stands. there will be no early election. there will be no unofficial referendum on the euro. the populists decided to back down in order to get into government. they've switched the name of their finance minister, the new minister has not talked about leaving the euro. that's a relief to italy's pro—euro president, who has got what he wanted, and it will also be a relief to brussels but conflicts between the populists who will now be in government and brussels may not be over. this new government is making promises, it wa nts to government is making promises, it wants to spend more and cut taxes which may put it into conflict with the eu spending rules. and the league's leader once a tough new policy on migration which may create argument. the boss of barclays says the bank wants to reduce the risks it's ta

has all gone down.ically, we are talking about if you think of the iran economy, which is worth noting, the second largest in the middle east, a market of 80 million people, so it is a coveted emerging-market. jason: second only to saudi arabia. cristina: yeah, so companies have been angling to get back in and it is difficult because in 2016, the year after the deal was signed, rouhani and a group of iranian executives went to rome, paris, and signed something like $50 billion worth of memorandum in understanding with companies like airbus that was going to overhaul iran's jet fleet, car companies -- iran is a major car exporter in the middle east -- and energy companies. barely any of that investment has flowed in because trump has been pledging to deep six this deal since he was on the stumps. when he was elected, you wonder, am i going to sink billions of dollars into a country with sanctions? jason: and this is a chinese blueprint. this is a page out of a classic playbook. cristina: that's right, be

well it is significant indeed the japanese leader has been insistent that japan has its own concerns about talking to north korea in particular has massive security concerns and wants to make absolutely certain that president trump is fully aware of these concerns that japanese holds now there has been constant contact between a stairway and president trumping fact there was another conversation in the course of the day the plan now it would appear is for the japanese leader to either come through washington on his way to an economic summit in could work or to actually have a meeting with president trump on the sidelines of that summit now what also appears to be the case is that she is intent on getting the ear of president trump making his concerns absolutely clear before president trump goes ahead with it some but should it indeed go ahead on june the twelfth and then now we're looking at a trilateral meeting with mungy and involved in this summit and we also know that moving in and his administration has pushed really hard for the summit. well president tramper certainly expresse

it has been a slow process. it has had its problems.of violence in the country despite the fact that there is no conflict as such but there is still drug trafficking and that causes violence in the country and that's a big concern for people in colombia and that is what we might see reflected in vote. to get your analysis and we will be keeping across this in the coming hour or so. “— across this in the coming hour or so. —— good to get. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. as many as nine russian troops have been killed by militants in syria. a number of government soldiers also died in the attack. it happened in deir al—zour province in the east of the country, where the islamic state group continues to pose a threat. the death toll from cyclone mekunu, that battered southern 0man and the yemeni island of socotra on friday, has reached 11. the category two cyclone recorded winds of up 170 kilometres per hour. two indian sailors are among the dead and a further eight are still missing after their boat got int

ukraine has implicated russia in the murder, but moscow has denied the allegations.chenko of lacking courage. he fought as a soldier in chechnya in the late 19905 and then became a war correspondent. with russian forces in ukraine and syria, his coverage was fearless and outspoken in its criticism of vladimir putin. it made him powerful enemies and early last year he fled russia to ukraine, fearing for his life. sadly, kiev proved no safer. on tuesday night, mr babchenko was shot several times in the back as he returned to his apartment from the local grocery store. it has all the hallmarks of a clinical assassination, and his friends have no doubt who's behind it. translation: he was one of the few who wrote the actual truth about what the russian federation is doing, and if it wasn't dangerous for them, if they didn't care about it, well, they wouldn't have killed him. it's calculated — deliberate international terrorist crime, committed on direct instructions from the russian authorities. the ukrainian authorities have echoed that view in more circumspect terms. r

explain what has been going on. yes, i think there has beena going on. slight misunderstanding in what our intentions have been, and what our intentions have been, and what has been reported, but what we wa nt what has been reported, but what we want is an independent panel of experts rather than what has been put in the media, that we wanted people from the community. that is really not the case. we want an impartial and independent panel who will be able to look at all the factors that led to the fire and the circumstances around it. 0k, circumstances around it. ok, so you want an impartial and independent panel. do you both feel 110w independent panel. do you both feel now that this is what you have got, and that from your perspective, the serious and important work and get under way? absolutely, and this panel is now going to help massively in the public enquiry into uncovering not only why did this fire happened, but how it happened. and of course to make the recommendations so that this never happens again. we are very lucky to be working with an o

wti has been falling.he longest losing streak since february, chopping below its 50 day moving average. russia is considering easing the curbs on production. when you look at this, we are going towards this 50 day moving average. geopolitics has been the bid. here we are with the offer which has been a return to supply. to what extent will the market return or lash back on oil? kokou: i think this is a place where you have to look at the headlines and the news flow. have the shell gas that all of a sudden can come back online because these levels make shell gas in the u.s. more attractive. the second is geopolitical risk spectrum. if one were to assume the deale east or the iran would be a clear view in terms are notg no deal, we seeing any solution short-term, you will be wrong. things have changed weekly when it comes to north korea. stage, the volatility at risk premium is quite high, but the path of least resistance is for a compression of a risk premium. interesting, we have about faced on trade. is t

number one is japan has visa free access to kosovo.oming guests without a visa? china has been active in the waiver space, currently ranked 68 in the world. relatively low in terms of these free access, only 70 countries but what china has done is be active in going to places like the united arab emirates, ukraine and having reciprocal visa free access between the countries. i have four passports with me, singapore which is number two, the united states which is number four, south africa which is number 50 and my personal philippine passport which is number 70. tell me, how hard is it for governments to secure visa waiver agreements, what's involved say for the philippine passport to go up in the ranking? it's very much depending on heads of state having a conversation. a lot of the reciprocal nature of visa free access is dependent on historic economic ties as well as security. security comes into it. the chance of a national breaching certain visa requirements or immigration rules in another country will limit that reciprocal access.

of iran has crossed a red line our response was appropriate our army has carried out a large scale attack on iranian targets in syria. we're engaged in a long term conflict and our policy is clear we will not allow iran to establish a military presence in syria. israel says it strikes me retaliation for a rocket attack on territory it occupies in the golan heights according to israel iranian militants fired the rockets from syria but none of them reach that target if so this would be the most serious direct military confrontation between israel and iran and syria. europe russia the u.s. and the u.n. are calling for restraint. if you need getting more done there's a risk of escalation and growing tensions we must avoid that that's what i told the reigning president rouhani and i'll pass on that message to prime minister netanyahu and president putin who in a statement in recent days seems to share the goal of stability and avoiding escalation steady. tensions remain high on the golan heights the israeli army has sent reinforcements to its northern border. a correspondent. has been followin

congress well he has not answered it here in the european union yeah i mean he has been trying in the us and now here in europe to draw a line under facebook's data scandal it did this appearance did it help or hinder him paul it helped to me in the sense that he used it as a platform he did not he was given the opportunity let's put it this way by the european parliament in the kind of format he was asked questions to shift around the tricky wants to avoid all the questions that were uncomfortable and there were some good questions in there but unfortunately at the end of this hearing the head of the european parliament even pointed out that he has no legal obligation to oncet or written questions when some of the lawmakers in a in a final moment of desperation if you want try to squeeze in a couple of questions that have remained on answered so rather disappointing appearance here in front of the european parliament disappointing and shocking at the same time our correspondent on the story for us tonight in brussels georg thank you. well the british city of manchester has marked one

he has despite my best efforts earned the respect earn my respect and has shown the kind of leadership that i think this country needs right now now mr passion and the parents also changed quite a bit in the recent months he's now compared to chad give our a because of he's beer that he's predilection for military fatigues but you can still find pictures on the internet of him being clean shaven and there are varying and nice suit how much do you think that change in appearance contributed to to the rise and he's popular. image matter at all the visual projection of his persona i mean let's be honest. is p.r. genius. the way he has portrayed himself not just as you know an m.p. who wears a suit but as an actual leader of the people is undeniable so yeah of course that has an impact however i think it would be foolish to think that all of this was based on image because really more than image it has to do with the contents of what he represents and what he stands for now one thing that viewers may not know about i mean is that it is a country where chasse lessons are compulsory for chil

it really has been aal moment. and it is extraordinary to see in lower manhattan, because this is where harvey weinstein exercised so mh of his power. you would see him in the restauras around tribeca, the boutique hotels in tribeca. he just seemed to be so powerful and so untouchable. tomorrow morning, if these repos are right, we have been led to believe they are -- to see him surrendering himse the nypd will be another extraordinary moment in this extraordinary story. jane: nick bryant joining us om new york, thank you very much. let's have quick look at some of the day's other news. a french couple has been convicted in london of murdering their living nny and burning her body on a bonfire in the back garden. the court heard the couple had held the 21-year-oldrisoner for months before killing her at their home in september. they will be sentenced next month. shares in some of asia's biggest seven people are missing and hundreds of others forced to leave their homes after a werful cyclone hit a yemeni island cha

he has always denied any involvement. tom burridge is in barcelona and has more.barcelona on friday. we understand that when he gets back to britain, he won't necessarily be arrested, it is not necessary because it is an extradition, but he will be questioned by officers from the metropolitan police because he is wanted for being supplying around £4 million of cannabis. and he was one of the original suspects in the murder of stephen lawrence back in 1993, but he has never been charged in connection with the murder of the black teenager, and he has always denied any involvement in the killing. that was tom burridge. a teenage boy in south london has died after being shot. 17—year—old raheem ainsworth—barton was discovered with critical injuries on warham street in southwark yesterday evening. the metropolitan police has asked for people in the area at the time of the shooting to contact them. charlotte gallagher reports. 17—year—old rhyhiem ainsworth barton, performing in a rap video. his family say he was with his friends, playing football in the sun, when he was

money has been very cheap lately and it has been very cheap lately and it has been very cheap latelyack to more normal levels? one of the big uncertainties is what is the new normal? will we see rates back to four or new normal? will we see rates back to fouror5%? new normal? will we see rates back to four or 5%? these are the things we saw before the financial crisis but almost certainly not. they could rise if you are talking about two or three or five view to a few percent which is a lot higher than in the last decade. depending on the economy, you could imagine quite different paths for interest rates but probably rates being at a materially lower level than we have seen materially lower level than we have seen that the past. we will find out in the next ten minutes or so. thank you very much. good to see you. we will have that interest rate decision for you live at midday from here in the city. no expectation that it will necessarily rise today but the bank has been known to pull a few surprises so we will have that for you live at midday here on bbc news and we will have that f

outies peter oliver has more on the role brussels has played in italy's political turmoil. on sunday night when sergio the reality italian president vetoed the proposal of a euro skeptic for the role of economy minister he essentially scrapped a coalition between the populists of the five star movement and leader nord but what he also did was he set a century center talian voters back to the polls he sent the markets crashing down and he sent accusations flying that the e.u. had put a bit of pressure on him to do just that well it also saw. the e.u. budget commissioner say that this down toilet this downturn in the markets was a message to italian voters for next time that if they vote with the euro skeptics then well they will see financial troubles on the horizon well mr has rode back from those comments now but he was also criticized at the time by some of his closest allies donald the european council president and john claude young of the european commission president all saying this isn't the type of language you should be using as a member of the commission from the

nobody has anything to fear. we want a government that puts national interests first and foremost as we proposed during our election campaign. we will respect everybody who put italy in the center. from food to the league and the five star movement spend two weeks hammering out a program it calls for the speedy deportation of half a million migrants are costly campaign promises such as tax cuts early retirement and a basic income are to be paid for with new debt. this contract is the heart of the government of change i see many people concerned about the international and european context they have nothing to fear the contract is the will of the italian people who want change. italy's european partners are alarmed the euro zone's third largest economy is already among the world's most indebted countries but the coalition hopes a political novice giuseppi will ease the concerns of italy's partners the law professor has been proposed as prime minister the two party leaders agreed on the unknown technocrat as a comp

has says the u.s. nuclear accord could cut oil supply by one million barrels a day. bob dudley made the comments in an exclusive interview with bloomberg. >> i think what we've seen is a withdrawal from the agreement, which seems to me the beginning of another negotiation of some kind, but implied harshly, you could lead to a million barrels a day on the markets, and that will affect things. there's a lot of uncertainty out there, and i think that's probably more reflective in that, along with what's happening in venezuela that is affecting the oil price now. taylor: that's your bloomberg business flash. tom, francine? francine: taylor, thank you so much. now back to paris and the g.a.c., where we've been talking with the central bank governor of france. let's get back to david berson, nationwide insurance v.p. and chief economist. david, we were talking a little bit before about the fed, about some of the concerns that the fed should be watching out for. actually, if you look at global growth, has it

and has the latest from they didn't have an easy.

what has the reaction being, there has been disappointment?d of steam built up behind the proposal and the parties who proposed it said they do want to see it go through. the governing socialist party has been more cautious, saying they believe the president‘s criticism of the bill can be accommodated, particularly the idea of a medical report. the socialist party is in a minority government, and says he did not mention a medical diagnosis, he talked about a report, and it seems to think there, something less than a diagnosis, a medical condition which proponents of the bill say it is not here in the matter, it is not about gender reassignment, a medical procedure, it is simply about changing gender in the civil register, that perhaps a compromise can be found. the italian multi—millionaire owner of the english football team leeds united has told the bbc he doesn‘t regret taking the club on a controversial trip to myanmar. it is a country whose military is accused of ethnic cleansing of rohinga muslims. because of ongoing military operations i
