president to then through that out said that's not going to happen and as a result we know that mr conti actually took down his mandate and said i can't form a government here we do know that despite the differences between the five star movement and the league who come from the left and the right side of the political spectrum they are due to meet again on friday to further discussions to see if they can now pick up the slack from the fact that carlo quarterly has decided not to proceed to forming a government in italy and to see whether they can pull back the idea of that coalition government and work on the mandate of that government for change that they had put forward previously well we know that the political in certainty in italy has caused major problems within the financial. look a market with many people unsure about what the future holds for the country but it's not the only e.u. country at the moment that's facing some severe political turmoil if you just look across the water to spain problems there as the prime minister faces losing his job the parliament there are currentl

that the best solution is at the european level well she'll be meeting the italian prime minister mr conti here in berlin the chancellor behind me later on today and we will see what develops from that meeting . a major earthquake has rattled japan at least three people were killed in a soccer falling debris and collapsing walls injured many others this is the second largest city and japan are bursting water mains and commuter trains were halted kyoto and large parts of western japan also felt the force of this six point one magnitude tremor. because we're doing our best to respond to this disaster urgently as some areas still cannot access gas or water as of now there is no damage and you lead a helpless realty such as and we nuclear power plants. israel has introduced a bill that would make it a crime to film its soldiers and includes videos like this one shot by an israeli human rights group showing an israeli soldier shooting dead and capacitated palestinian that led to international condemnation a person found guilty could face up to ten years in prison. it's anti-democratic in that d

speaking to the to the media as well angela merkel and she'll be meeting the italian prime minister mr conti later on today and clearly he has his own concerns about migration the immigration situation in europe will be interesting to see what both leaders say later on today but the moment is that back to you jane thank you dominic. six hundred thirty migrants are spending their first day in spain after arriving on ships which were turned away from italy and malta city council leaders in barcelona say the new socialist government in madrid must back up its humanitarian gesture with money and resources to help the african arrivals. has more from valencia. on dry land at last clearly happy to be here. special care for pregnant women mothers their toddlers and others most vulnerable these migrants and refugees were forced to spend the week at sea european union leaders squabble over migration policy and show ships are just doing their work are saving lives as in the ben and humanitarian organization saving lives is not a crime or not a course of this situation we're also not a solution what we

of the issues that matter here and why this storm has blown up as it has right now as all of says mr conti the italian prime minister will be here in the next few hours and we will wait to see what sort of statements the two leaders will come out with after that meeting is finished but for now back to you jane ok we look forward to that thank you dominick well immigration is also a big issue in the united states where passionate stories about children being separated from their parents at the mexican border are making international headlines let's go to our white house correspondent kelly halkett in washington d.c. tell us more about this policy and how it's playing out company. well there is growing outrage over the policy what many don't understand though is that the policy has been in place for more than a decade what's different and why donald trump is ultimately bearing the responsibility for all of this is that he has decided to use this is essentially the nuclear option whereas previous president barack obama and george w. bush use it only as a measure of last resort why is the pres

from a meeting like this and indeed the meeting she had yesterday with the italian prime minister mr conti is some sort of indication whether it's going to be possible to get a deal at the e.u. level whether it's possible to agree some sort of bilateral deal some way of placating those very allies you referred to in your introduction you really don't want to see the situation that has pertained here in germany and in europe for the last three years carrying on any longer let's talk about those negotiations yes as you say on monday metcalfe the go she's a compromise with her allies domestically and i'm wondering what the reaction has been. well many people in the media many of the big organizations whether that be the beagle or newspapers such as the citing in the frankfurter allgemeine zeitung of pointing at the fact that this is a stopgap as it were looking at the reality that what the christian social union has said all is well you have the best part of two weeks to try to make good on what you've said to us that you're trying to get these bilateral deals because as i said what they want

summit at this stage would make the gap even bigger within the g7, and yet the new italian premiere mr. contitalk to putin's russia. i think what's hning here, the old guard, the old order that existed fair long time with clintons and bushes and various german/british/european leaders is crumbling. this is a new world. brexit, trump, hungarian elections and italy, the third biggest country in the eurozone with a different leader and we're headed to a completely different place. and personally, i'm very pleased about that. stuart: do you think that we're heading towards a different feeling among europeans for president trump? i would imagine after the g7 turmoil and the blowup, the europeans would be apoplectic about president trump. any sign that's changeing? >> well, the old guard are apoplectic, mrs. merkel, the new politics coming in, governments in austria, governments in hungary, governments in italy and probably more countries to come over the next couple of years, who actually think trump stands up for america just as we're going to stand up for our own countries and from that starting

they've all met each other the new person there is prime minister conti of italy so i think there will be frank discussions on these issues and mr trump has already signaled through his tweets where he's coming from and mr palmer you know at the end of the summit the group usually releases a statement a joint statement these hailing their policy positions that they agree on fonts in germany have already warned that that they won't sign the final agreement unless the u.s. makes some major policy concessions what will those concessions have to be and do you think that the u.s. will make them. well i think it is such a public statement which is going to come out that i think donald trump cannot afford to look weak and i don't think he's going to be able to. pull back too far on the kind of terrorists that he's already announced there may be a little bit of compromises or transactional east after all but in the end this is a big power play the u.s. knows it's got basically three big power advantages it's got market access it's got the dollar and it's got the military and i think what donald trump is trying to do is try to show the w

is contiing to lead by example at home through our 25-year environment plan and on friday, we proposed to extend the blue belt protecting around the english coast with new marine conservation. mr. speaker, this was a difficult summit with at times very candid discussion, but the conclusion, i draw is that it's only through continued dialog that we can find ways to work together to resolve the challenges we face. the countries around the g7 table have been pillars of the rules based national order which benefitted all of our systems and i believe the world as a whole. the united kingdom with our allies a partners will continue to play our part to the benefit of all. and i commend that statement to the house. >> jeremy corbin. >> thank you, mr. speaker and i thank the prime minister for aensav copy of her statement. in her last couple of sentences she almost gave us an inkling of the atmosphere that must have been there. we could do with more. mr. speaker, the g7 meeting can only be described as a failure and the blame nor that lies with the current incumbent in the white house. in the past the g7 played a positive role in responding to the financial crisis and push forward the
