she has a coalition with matteo salvini's league and berlusconi's force-out italia party. there are internal tensions there. there was this type of salvini -- tape of salvini making disparaging remarks that it has been reported that berlusconi does not get along with her. how difficult is that going to be to keep the strands of the coalition together? >> this is the big question everybody is asking. how long will this coalition survive? we have to consider that italy has not really tururned right in the sense that giorgia meloni did not steal votes from the left. the transfers of votes have been mostly internal to the coalition. matteo salvini gave a press conference a few hours ago and it was livid because his party had lost a lot. and had lost a lot to giorgia meloni's party. he was trying to say they are a solid majority, a solid coalition, they are going to rule the party, they are aligned , but many questions by the journalists were pointing to his possible regrets or perhaps problems with the fact that giorgia meloni did better than him. the first obstacle will be a d

it all hangs on whether a coalition can be formed with the league, led by matteo salvini, and forza italiaaded by former premier silvio berlusconi. we'll bring you all the results and analysis as they come in on this, the most crucial of election nights. and i'm lucy grey with the other main stories this hour. the iranian president threatens "decisive action" to stop the wave of anti—government protests sweeping the country. super typhoon noru has hit the philippines and is set to sweep through the capital manila with winds of up to 175 kilometres an hour. hello and welcome to rome where in the last few minutes polls have closed in an election which many predict could be a political turning—point for the country. polling suggests italy will choose its first female prime minister, giorgia meloni, and the first in the modern era to come from the far—right. her brothers of italy party look set to top the vote, but are likely to be forced into coalition with other parties to form a government. in the next hour, we'll be trying to make sense of the rapidly shifting sands of italian politics wit

out in front ahead of her coalition partners, the hardline firebrand former interior minister matteo salvini almost 86 years old, three times prime minister, known almost as much for his bunga bunga sex parties as for his politics. so a major political moment for italy, and indeed for europe as well, as our europe editor katya adler reports. a warning that this report contains some flash photography. italy looks picture perfect from afar. a delicious combination of food, fashion... ..and folklore. but close up, things are very frayed around the edges. italians voting today are living through an acute cost of living crisis. and many think this woman has the answers — far—right firebrand giorgia meloni, a master of gut politics who promises to restore italy's national pride. waiting in the wings are her chosen coalition partners, tycoon silvio berlusconi and anti—immigration populist matteo salvini. though not all voters are convinced. crisis, the economy, but i don't trust politicians. i'll vote for the best of the worst. what's on your mind?

matteo salvini, her coalition partner, released a video just last week saying, you know, "they told usoing to stop the war and have no impact on us. but actually, look, they've led to a cost—of—living crisis for us italians." and if you've got a founding member of the european union in italy, the third—largest economy in the bloc, that is beginning to waver in its solidarity with ukraine and its opposition to moscow, that is an exploitable link that vladimir putin will probe and prod with absolute delight. it is there any kind of clear and simple explanation of why italy should be looking to the far—right? giorgia meloni, whether or not you agree or disagree with her politics, she is seen as more of a fresh face. italy has always been a political laboratory of sorts. and i think that there's a sense here that this country has been constantly searching for its political identity. it has swung wildly. it is politically very volatile. it's had almost 70 governments since the second world war. "there's something that's just not working. so, let's try something else. let's try giorgia melon

the main question for observers is how these two allies of the exchange, silvio berlusconi and matteo salvinithey interfere with her foreign policy, or will they still receive such a low result for them in the elections they will still sit quietly and listen to what the prime minister will say . natalka will probably be appointed as the prime minister. italy after all voted for the extreme right, the international media write that this is the first time since the fascist dictator benito, that's why the soloists uh, it happened like this . of ancient history and the history of fascism has long been put in the archive in books that's why and why exactly they turned to the electorate and voted for them precisely because it was the right that managed to accumulate this protest mood of voters and that's why a lot at such a critical moment when there is inflation and high prices for gas, you have to pay for heating and also a way out of covid, there are a lot of different problems and meloni is at the forefront of the melody and the right were able to show that this is something, well, they offer a

russia and putin in particular, but george melloni herself has a different position, we have matteo salvini who was not shy to voice his position that sanctions they don’t work and so on. we have silvio lusconi, who is historically one of the most pro-russian politicians in italy, and here is the georgia of youth, which remains very consistent in showing support for ukraine, and this is a bit of a paradox because in contrast to forward italy and the league, which were part of the government, the dear brothers of italy were in the opposition and it could choose the easy way and try to win the support of a significant share of italian voters who are not in favor of supporting ukraine and sending weapons, instead, it chose a different approach and continues to demonstrate consistently and clear support for ukraine, and although the true distribution of the coalition's power will depend on the final results of the dario cristiani elections, which most analysts do not expect changes in italy's current policy towards ukraine i am very skeptical about the idea that italy can change its internation
