mr conte, who is backed by the five star movement and the league, said italy's place was in the european. now here on bbc news, it's time for wednesday in parliament. hello and welcome to the programme. coming up: the bosses at hmrc warn that the brexiteers favoured customs option could cost tens of billions of pounds a year. somewhere between 17 and 20 billion. labour says stop and search has poisoned relations between the police and communities. it is neither the solution to crime problems, nor a substitute for intelligence from good relationships with communities. and the northern ireland minister urges the parties to get back round the table and restore devolved government. at the moment, the pilot light is on, but no one is twirling those knobs. we need to get the executive restored. but first, the post—brexit customs system favoured by leading brexiteers could cost businesses up to £20 billion a year, according to officials. the chief executive of hm revenue and customs told mps firms would have to pay around £32.50 for each customs declaration, under the streamlined so—called max

in terms of mr. conte, we have not heard a huge amount from him since this announcement. he's been refusing to give interviews to the press over the last few weeks since his name was floated as potential candidate. we know late february he was put forward as a member of this cabinet by the five star movement he was going to be responsible for reducing bureaucracy across the italian government in terms of investor sentiment, there's been reaction. he's a bit of an unknown entity. the question is will he get the job and will he be able to carry out the programs that these two parties have hashed out over the last two weeks >> you mentioned that conte is a relatively unknown individual. when he sits down with president mattarella, if mattarella says i'm not sure he's the right man for the job when it comes to looking for someone to bridge the differences between the two parties that are working together now, is there a chance he says go back to the drawing board and bring me someone new >> there's always that chance. just ten days ago he was giving a public speech, mattarell

or: is it about mr. conte what the government will do? >> it is about the whole situation.es or coalitions. the system is not designed for such a situation. you end up with a stalemate, and then you have a party which is elected by the central right which splits or pretends to be attached to the center-right, but forms an alliance with the five-star movement. you have the league pretending to be with the center-right,. the program has been designed, trying to merge the two programs. then you have the league the coming prime minister from a five-star movement. , notnd up with a situation a member of parliament with no experience in politics becoming prime minister. that is a new situation. guy: it does not sound very stable. lorenzo: it is difficult to know. i think the five-star movement has come to this point and effectively has no choice but to make it work. i think the league is in a different situation because they have choices. they can leave the coalition and rejoin forces with the center-right at some point, and maybe go for elections. it is an unstable situation. it

mr conte spoke not long afterwards. very beginning from the current negotiations on the european budget. the asylum law and the completion of the banking union. remember, giuseppe conte isn't an elected official, he's a law professor. he was the choice of luigi di maio, leader of the anti establishment five star movement and matteo salvini, the leader of the far right league. and these two populist parties won most seats in the election over two months ago. a little earlier i spoke with bbc journalist sara monetta about the new prime minister. he hasn't been in the public eye at all. as you have said, he is a lawyer and a professor, and the first time we heard about him was when he was presented before the election. these people are going to be part of my cabinet before the election, and he was supposed to be the justice minister. election, and he was supposed to be thejustice minister. and in the election happened, the agreement between the first movement and the league, and none of the leaders agreed on who was suppos

what we know is that we had mr. conteide, saying as a populist he cannot form a government because the president blocked his choice of finance minister a eurosceptic . what happens next? point, he will very , thesee cottarelli president's choice. cottarelli is likely going to try to form a government. he has to hold consultations. he's going to come up with a list of ministers. we go through this process over and over again. presumably the president will accept it. then they need to go to parliament for a confidence vote. given what has happened, the populists are not likely to vote for the cottarelli government. we will have to go to early elections. itfar as we can calculate, will take at least until september before elections can be called. francine: are we in a constitutional crisis? can the president be impeached over this? >> it is certainly a crisis. i think everyone understood that we will go to elections quickly. as far as impeachment is concerned, i find it difficult. this is how the italian presidency works. ma

yesterday we had a confirmation that mr. contehe premier and he launched the search for his government. let's look at market risk and how key can -- how he can put a government that sticks together. if you look at my bloomberg terminal, we decided to use the spread between italian and , if there year bonds was not an ecb intervention, how much bigger what that spread the? kallum: it is hard to say, but much bigger i would expect. reformed country, spain and a half reformed country, italy, clearly it is heading in the wrong direction. francine: could we potentially further down the line talk about italy exit? is it like greece 2.0? kallum: i think it will be more tame for the foreseeable future. are italy really expanding its fiscal deficit and unwinding the labor market reforms that renzi introduced. that takes italy in the opposite direction it needs to go. the second big risk is a euro exit. i think we will see a modest expansion in fiscal policy that italy will probably get away with for the foreseeable future. guy: is italy's

conte begins the first alday of his politicareer. the law professor who was never help office before mr. together cabinet. he stressed his credentials for the job. conte: i'd ready to defe interests of italians in europe and internationally. i want to be the lawyer who will defend the italian people. won't but giuseppe conte even be the most powerful member of his own administration. the two party leaders who suggested him as prime minister can expect to take their own seats in his cabinet. the five-sr movement leader may choose a ministry which allows him to implement his main campaign promise, an allowance for italy's jobseekers. and the leaf party's leader -- and the league party's leader wants to take charge of a new, tougher migration policy. he is likely to be his own bossn the full goverlineup may be rea james reynolds, bbc news, rome. jane: you arerlatching "bbc news america." still to come on tonight's program, protest and patriotism. how the controversy over kneeling during the national anthem has dided football players and owners and even involved the president. 27 people have died and nearly 60

mr di maio and mr salvini wanted this man guiseppe conte, to be the prime minister.arted their first attempt to form a government. here's katya again to explain. tam one is known as a eurosceptic who says the currency works in favour of germany and not in favour of italy —— paulo savona is known. he says italy must be ready to lead a currency but that set off alarm bells in the eu and he was ruled out as the economy minister, but it now looks as though the new parties are taking away paulo savona from the position of economy but suggesting him for minister of european affairs instead, so that remains to be seen how well he gets on with brussels. but removing him from the key position as minister of the economy. in the past both the league and 5—star movement have called for a referendum in its lyon whether or not to stay inside the eurozone and both parties —— called for a referendum in italy. both of them have moved away from that but the threat will always hang in the air. thanks forjoining us. the russian journalist who helped staged his own death in ukraine says
