mr. berlusconi, or beppe grillo, the toic maverick who decided make a party of protest. noen of them will give an inch. support.o they lose it is a game of chicken they play, and mr. napolitano, head of state has only a few weeks left in office. it is difficult when you consider the country is on the brink of an economic crisis with huge economic problems to face, widespread unemployment among young people and even -- problems of inflation. serious situation, no obvious way out. >> thank you very much. more bad news for anyone keeping his life savings in a cypriot bank. big depositors will lose more money under the bailout. the central bank confirms reports that savers at the bank of cyprus could lose 60% of their savings over 100,000 euros. they will convert 35% of them into shares. >> cypriots barely know what they'll wake up to next. savers at the bank of cyprus -- the latest news is not good. of deposits will convert to bank shares but they stand to lose more depending on how much is needed to prop up the bank's reserves. >> this haircut will create a viscious circle

mr. berlusconi getting 25% of the vote. >> yes. >> rose: a comedy mr. grilo had 20 percent poster of the vote. mr. berlusconi is a comedian and the other person is a comedian. that's 50% of the vote. >> i'm the person that should not talk -- twice and he's always lost in the elections. but you know, he made the campaign. it's the same man. not only telling you i shared the -- but i skhul give back the tax you have paid last year. it's unbelievable. but in the moment of economic crises quite a few -- but look, he lost a big percent of the vote -- because he had a very strong majority that passed. and then he lost a lot of votes but he was able to give the illusion that it could be the savior in such a difficulty economic condition. >> rose: who will, what's going to happen to mr. monti with the vote. >> it's with -- but it still in politics. i don't know what he will choose. he will take time in order to reorganize the party. it will be almost impossible that he will be prime minister again unless he prolonged it for a limited time. >> rose: he does not

mr. berlusconi as corrupted. >> they are a critical player at this point, the five-star movement of beppe grillo. could he changes into- establishment position at some point? >> since the election last month, he has insulted bersani practically every day, and he continues to do that today. >> it requires on the road to damascus for him to change his mind. >> where does italy go from here? could we see new elections? >> nobody wants to see new elections. i think what will happen now is president of peloton a will do something similar to what we did in november 2011 when he appointed the current prime minister, mario monti, the former european commissioner. he may try to do something like that. he may look to people like the former premier, the current interior minister, or the former european commissioner to try to take -- put together a short- term government whose major responsibility will be to guard confidence for the international markets and in the meantime, the only item on the agenda will be to change the current electoral legislation. >> thank you so much for that update. the rest
