i looked at this team, these players were in italy when i was in italy.are top players with topics billions. the players are good, these players are much better than in the past, so they can discuss results with the top teams. the three point very important. at the bottom of the table, sunderland, they have won 4— nil last week, this week they have lost 4-0. this was gabbiadini really putting the sword and to sunderland. —— into sunderland. david moyes looked ready for lauren at the end, and he has had a pretty forlorn word to say. you are right in the game at 1—0, it is not as if you‘re out of the game, we had done 0k, without creating too many clear—cut opportunities, but to lose a goal right at half—time was a killer blow for us. every game is three point, we have to try to win the three points, so every game we do not think anything up —— pick anything up, it is a missed opportunity. we are not seeing the bounds of sam alla rdyce. really we are not seeing the bounds of sam allardyce. really perform from crystal palace since he arrived at selhurst park

actually, italy did what they had to do.e of victory. and in 1999, this goalforced a rematch after arsenal took advantage of sheffield united putting the ball out of play due to an injury. the record books will show england won this match, but with world rugby considering a clariification on how the law is applied, it may prove in time to have much greater significance. time for a look at the weather. here's john hammond. everything except the kitchen sink. beautiful rainbows taken on by some of our weather watchers. but you need sunshine and rain for rainbows. it's been pouring down across some parts of the uk and in others, a real taste of late winter with heavy snowfall and for many, we settled into a fine evening with clearing skies. still snowing across the highest ground of north england and the borders. that will clear away. further wintry showers will push in on the breeze across western part of finland and wales in particular and the odd one further east. watch out forice the odd one further east. watch out for ice

my father was born in italy. my grandfather used to give advice in italian to the new couples in weddings. he would say you can't have the roses without the thorns. you couldn't appreciate the good things in life without the suffering as well. that's part of life, facing tough times and seeing whether you can get back up and keep moving forward. it taught me some humility, what loss is like. i had loss in my personal life as well but losses in politics. if you look at american history, from george washington crossing the delaware to abraham lincoln losing every race to so many other examples. loss is a part of life. you have to keep on moving on from that. >> talk about your childhood. >> i am the youngest of five children. my father as i mentioned was an italian immigrant. came to the united states as a young boy. my mother is irish and english. her mother immigrated from england. her grandfather came from ireland. my grandfather on my mother's side put the lights on top of the empire state building as a member

manus: this is spain and italy.read the story and a part of my mind i said -- right, is this the ecb, this is me stretching the thought process after 12 hours at 3:00 a.m. is this getting ahead of political risk which can cause spreads to grow in the next 12 months? look at italy, what is going on in the political front and what is not happening under perform front, that is where the pressures will rise. the biggest risk is some sort of return. if you thought the ecb could step in and buy a a lot more italian bonds to bring down the spread, and you have nothing to worry about but i think that is too optimistic. there is a limit how far they can go. we go back to the basic, fundamental issue. they are not supposed to directly fund a government debt. manus: do you expect more fiscal -- what is the right word --latitude? flexibility? easing? do you expect more latitude? >> they have had quite a bit in italy. they have been able to use the immigration crisis. the earthquake. that was very difficult for the country. but
