i was there are signs of fascism everywhere in italy. in rome the memory of zone in the buildings and monuments on which scribe his name . and the streets where he carved his slogans. mussolini's formula as i'm calling you square that he described it to exploit fear and turn it into hatred is being echoed by the populace politicians to ignite their followers. these are the brothers of 80 the country's 2nd largest far right party georgia maloney is the leader today she's issuing a clarion call for europe to get behind the brothers' extreme nationalist agenda. thank you thank you thank you. to me. we were coming from across europe general probably the netherlands or spain or from the far right parties in those various countries and all of them pretty much pushing the same very strong and immigration rules mentioning that it's actually a name you see here here and i don't want. you. you. you you you you. i suspect women only says our identity she doesn't include the farmworkers i met in korea and where is the country's fascist history to be

italy.he people around me follow more, they will have the mask and they care. >> why does there seem to be more compliance with the rules here than in britain? >> we were the first and we had a long quarantine. we really felt it. >> italy is enforcing restrictions with police checks and fines of up to 00 euros for breaking them. it has been rarely needed. mask wearing his scrupulous and the national stereotype of rebellious itaans has turned on its head. >> i'm really proud of italians. they followed the rules. but the war is not over yet. we have to wait and see what will happen in october and november, but right now, things are going very well. >> the fight goes on with mass testing starting at schools. >> whether it is the widespread availability of testing, the longer lockdown or the italians being scared into compliance, it is part of pinpointing exactly why italy's spike is lower than others. the fear now is that by reopening schools later than the rest of europe, italy might just be b

in a moment we'll talk about the uk and italy — first spain.the worst outbreak in europe and a new local lockdown in madrid, makes it the first european capital to go back into lockdown. the measures kick in in 48 hours' time and then residents can only leave the city for essential reasons. now this has been imposed by the national government despite opposition from madrid's leaders who are concerned about the city's economy. here are some residents talking to the bbc. translation: it's a bit desperate not knowing what is going to happen tomorrow, but i understand that given how the cases are rising in madrid, the lockdown is the only solution. they should lock down the sick people, but i don't think this lockdown is necessary. i have leg issues, so tell me, how am i going to manage? i can barely walk, so i think this is unfair. people are very angry about this. some people may be blaming the national government, other people may be blaming the conservative regional government, but overall, there is a feeling that politics is getting in the way

italy itself, however, is a relatively young country.ion builders, there was only one city that could be the capital and this year is a special anniversary. because over the next year, rome is supposed to be celebrating its 150th anniversary as the capital city of italy. but looking around me now, i get the feeling it is not going to be quite the fanfare they were hoping for. since its initial big outbreak here, italy has suppressed the spread of the coronavirus better than many other countries. but cases are on the rise and international tourism is still way down. tour guide desiree has said she has seen demand from international travellers drop by as much as 90%. this is the colosseum and it is still incredible. so who are the tourists you have been showing around 7 where are they from? so there is good and bad? good and bad. what i see here looks like ancient rome, ancient history. do you want to take a look? fantastic. the forum was once a place where romans gathered together for big processions, speeches and markets. to understand h

also tonight: remember italy, the epicentre of the pandemic in europe? police checks and testing are helping it to avoid a second wave. what happens to migrants arriving in the uk — is the government really thinking about housing them on disused ferries? the european commission's boss says she'll be taking the uk to court over whether we're in breach of the brexit deal. the marine rescue team trying to herd a pod of whales in gare loch out of harm's way. and coming up on bbc news, gareth southgate names his latest england squad — there are three new caps and two notable omissions. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. another two million people in northern england will face tougher covid restrictions after a spike in coronavirus cases. the health secretary for england, matt hancock, said the disease was "spreading fast" and "highly localised". the new rules to prevent social mixing will come into force on saturday and will apply to the liverpool city region, warrington, hartlepool and middlesbrough. it's the rate at which cases are rising that

unfortunately the numbers are picking up in italy as well, so someone -- whether italy was just a bit luckier than other andtries in the second wave is now unfortunately catching up with the likes of spain and france, and the u.k., which are far ahead in this very sorry race we are seeing. francine: what our politicians worried about now? they're worried that it is hitting morale and they worry about their colonies as well. -- their economies as well. how different are these conversations from what we heard back in march? >> i think the concern now is that politicians do not think people are ready, willing, or able to withstand a new lockdown. i have argued before that a lockdown is not really a choice for a politician. if you end up with your hospitals overwhelmed. if you are incapable of -- not just the covid patients but all patients, and then you end up with more draconian measures. but politicians really want to try and avoid it. also because the economy went through a very difficult phase over the spring, started recovering during the summer. but if we have a new hit, people are

italy has a devolved regional system.n of milan, they were somehow autonomous in the way they were dealing with this extraordinary outbreak that nobody knew anything about in europe at the time, but they are what we saw was the fallacy of thinking that the local solution might be the right so one. what we have learnt in italy is that when you are dealing with such an uncontrollable thing like a pandemic, what you need to do is to make sure that you coordinate very tightly with the reality on the ground at the local level and with the kind of big picture that the central government has. in italy, in milan and the lombardi region, it was autonomous, they get the power for health reasons, in the end they had to somehow admit that they got it wrong without the government. the conflict that we are seeing in britain seems to be coming from a misunderstanding, what we have seen in italy two two to three months in advance, facing the problems of the covid pandemic, is that what works is really an extremely take coordination betwe

is standing by see what what are the latest numbers where you are on the spread of the pandemic in italy and which regions are worst hit. well what we do know is the latest figures says as of sunday the number of new infections was 11705 yet again a new record we've been hitting rock logs almost daily now for the last few days but as you mention very significant number of tests being carried out right now as compared to the situation when we saw the height of the pandemic back in march and in april so it's hard really to compare the situation back then what's worrying perhaps is to look at the admissions into the intensive care units for covert 19 cases there now $750.00 i.c.u. ignitions that's an increase of $45.00 additional patients and more than 7000 people are being hospitalized with 19 again not the march and april figures but it's clearly creeping up and the authorities are very concerned now the key areas where we're seeing a spike really is once again that northern region of long which is the region around milan as well as this time around income plan yeah that's in the south of

this week i find myself in northern italy.ts of turin, and while i'm here, there's something i want to show you. turin likes to see itself as being the capital of chocolate in europe, and in fact, in the 1800s, swiss chocolatiers used to come here to learn their trade, but what perhaps isn't known that much is that before we had the chocolate we know now, the edible chocolate that we all eat, drinking chocolate was the real treat for the privileged elite from the 1700s onwards, and in fact, it's this cafe, al bicerin, which was the first establishment of its kind to be created in this city. and in fact, here it is. so you can see it here in the bicerin glass, which is why it's named that, its three layers. on the top is milk, in the middle is chocolate and on the bottom is coffee. now, this is a secret recipe, they tell me. what i do know is that they spend hours back in the kitchen there making the chocolate. and over the centuries, we're talking artists, intellectuals, all your hoi polloi have come here and drunk this stuff,
