on the other side, the salvini show is drawing to a close. the interior minister's folksy, sometimes funny demeanor is one of the reasons he has managed to govern and gain in popularity. he admits when pressed that it has not all been fun and games. mr. salvini: it is not easy. italy is a big country. we have important challenges. but i was tired of being in the opposition. max: and the opposition, the answers to conduct problems are often easier. salvini has survived the first 100 days in power unscathed, but soon he will have to show if he can actually govern. brent: from the stage to the big table, i'm joined by a fellow of the oxford university center for international studies. good to have you on the show. when we look at the far right party, when we look at matteo salvini, they can be proud of the fact that they doubled their approval ratings in 100 days in office. how have they done that? >> they went from 17 to 34%. impressive, absolutely. they did that by focusing on managing perceptions rather than dealing with reality. there are tw

deputy prime minister matteo salvini, welcome to hardtalk. grazie.e meeting at the ambrosetti forum forum, where the italian political elite come to discuss the future of your country. and i've been speaking to people and there's a great deal of fear and suspicion about you and your agenda. some people are calling you dangerous, some people are calling you an extremist. why do you think there is so much suspicion of you? you've chosen to answer me by immediately turning to the issue of immigration. there is no question that immigration was one of the biggest messages that you carried with you through the election campaign, but your message seems to be that italy and its problems could be completely solved were you to stop all immigration and get rid of the immigrants. is it your belief that italy's problems can be solved in that way? you say after stopping immigration. does that mean that you are determined that no more of these migrant ships will be allowed to land in italy? because over the last few months, we've seen controversy after controversy

where is the spanish le pen, where is spanish wilders, where is spanish salvini? we are not. that spain has a socialist government. one could argue it is partly by accident because of political scandal which it did for the popular party and prime minister rajoy, but nonetheless, you are in power now as the socialist party, and you only have 80 something seats in parliament of 300, but you are in power. do you think that you can reverse the trend we see in much of europe where traditional, social democratic, centre—left parties, are doing disastrously badly? how do you change that dynamic? we have to punch above our weight. once upon a time during philippe gonzales‘ government, spain was... that is when the socialist party was power. and it played an important role in europe. powerful and playing an important part in europe. with the greatest respect, that was in the 80s and 90s, here we are in 2018, yes you are in power at a minority government with an uncertain future, my question to you is that you change the trajectory for centre—left social democratic politics? because in

salvini said that he was forced to act because the e.u. had done nothing even as tens of thousands of refugees began landing on italy's shores max began by asking salvini if after one hundred days the new government had addressed italy's most pressing issues such as poverty and unemployment. so no. i'm very happy with the hundred days under my remit which is security immigration and public security we've achieved extraordinary results regarding employment taxes and pensions in the autumn the new government will make its mark with a new path of change growth so i'm not worried about data for this period we're already working on growth which should finally rebound. but you know there let's talk about the european union and the topic of migration a little bit european union you seem at odds with the e.u. at some point do you feel like the goal going forward is to find compromise with the e.u. or confrontation. you know a chip of course same even though i'm often described as an extremist i'm always trying to reason to discuss to ask questions

the un has also questioned matteo salvini's policies. it is planning to send a tea m policies.ts ofan team to italy to investigate reports of an increase in violence and racism against migrants. the foreign ministry has rejected the criticism and a man who famously said italy could not become your‘s refugee camp has no plans to water down his policies. and you can see that stephen sackur interview with italy's deputy prime minister matteo salvini here on bbc news at these times on wednesday. events have begun in ghana to honour the the former secretary general of the united nations kofi annan who died last month. mr annan's body has been lying in state to allow people to pay their respects. world leaders, past and present, and royalty too, are expected to attend his state burial on thursday. the bbc‘s thomas naadi reports. filing past the body of the former un secretary—general, kofi annan, they have come from the length and breadth of the country to catch a glimpse of the great man, and honour him one last time. most of the people paying their last respects today may not have

i don't know which are the proposals for mr salvini. in essence, i suppose it gets down to this. no cherry picking, theresa may says we want parts of the single market, we want free trade in goods, but we will not accept the free movement of people. are you prepared to do a deal on that? no. clearly no. i don't think any country in europe can accept to split the freedoms, the fourfreedoms, which bases the european unions. these freedoms, i take this because i like it, this one i don't like it, i don't take it. no, it will not be like this. what are you sacred of? why are you so worried that giving britain a bespoke deal, if i can put it that way, would be so detrimental, so damaging to the eu? it is a matter of political project. the eu is not the supermarket, you know? but is the eu so fragile, so weak, that if britain gets a bespoke deal, it could lead to the collapse of the entire union? i don't think so. no. what is the problem? britain is a powerful, powerful neighbour, the most important trading partner on the continent. and i regret that it is leaving. i regret deeply. i t

the italian government has adopted a deck put forward by the far right interior minister salvini though make it easier to expel migrants and take away that's holly and citizenship salvini says that they imagines he measure is aimed at reducing the number of people arriving by boat from across the mediterranean is also designed to strip migrants with a criminal record of their right to asylum in crease the amount of time newcomers can be held in repatriation scientists salvini has held the adoption of the deck is a step towards as a step forward the italian parliament now has two months to discuss and amend the draft before it becomes evil. in my opinion this is not harming any fundamental rights because if i open the doors of my house and then once you're in you sell drugs to my children even with all possible humanity i'm going to spend your application and i'm going to send you back where you came from for more details on any of us stories you can check out where on social media to see you in thirty minutes time with more top stories. because there is no power in libya that is powerfu

salvini may break his parliamentary group and form a center-right government, so it's not a credibleat. it's making a point. >> who is the point for? five-star voters is it for mr. tria for lawmakers? who is he making that point to >> a bit of everyone including himself. he needs to reinforce his position in the party. he hada good showing of salvin the last few monthshow much popularity he has gained so he needs to talk tough and show that he's still on the short list part of it. >> on that topic specifically and talking about salvini's surging popularity, they're ahead of five-star, which is a big jump from where they were polling going into the elections. do you think at some point next year he may look to capitalize on that and call for another election and dismantle this coalition? >> yes, that's the clear risk. for this year we are kind of safe mattarella will never dissolve parliament during budget season. we go effectively until december, we escape with this coalition. come january anything can happen if salvini wants to capitalize on popularity, he might pull the plug with t

a rock star reception for my tale salvini italy's far right interior minister. he helped launch to a populist coalition into power nearly one hundred days in office t w looks at how well people think the coalition is doing that actually governing the country. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program india's supreme court has struck down a colonial era law that made gay sex a crime punishable by up to ten years in prison the community and india fought against that law for many years and its unanimous decision today the supreme court said that the legislation was quote a rational. indefensible and manifestly arbitrary in court filings petitioners had given evidence of the emotional cost of living positive lives and fearing police persecution because of their sexuality. i'm ok more on this now we are joined by d.w. very own sonia from the car who is in delhi outside of the courthouse and sonia as we just heard here this is a very big decision for the country a lot country a landmark one what goes through the verdict. you're right i mean this is really i think a story

salvini that's where we ended up this morning. in terms of what the european reaction will be from this, we hear from the commissioner for european economic and financial affairs, he's seemingly going to wait to see the details in the budget people i've been speaking to this morning, including some political economist s saying the will wait. listen to what was said last night on facebook. >> look, i'm not worried about the market reaction, we have plans to invest so much money that the economy will grow we have kept the budget deficit below 3%, so we've been credible we will make investments, we will keep our election promises. for the first time italy has a government keeps his promises. >> what mr. dimaio said as well last night is that he expects 10 billion euros to be set aside to pay for the universeal basic income, something that is important for the five-star balcony. last night he was waving joyfully as people were standing here waving flags back to him. there are issues that have struggled under austerity issues since the

not our salvini though is not the only headache for the e.u. right now the road hung garion prime minister viktor orban has long been the talk of the town and with his ongoing official visit to moscow and talks with president putin the media and politicians alike have gone into overdrive jacqueline explains . viktor orban and lot of mir putin have been keeping in touch quite regularly for the past eight years. the former i'm writing to wheel and deal with putin the media are consistent in painting a very sinister picture of the two of them getting together. this is hungary's prime minister big did back in one thousand nine hundred ninety he was calling for soviet troops to leave the country fast forward almost thirty years and here years one of russian president vladimir putin's closest allies correct me if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure russia today is a bit different than the soviet union even the flags are different nonetheless these two associating with one another gets under some politician skins and the way they stand is hungry becoming th

others in italy accused matteo salvini of grandstanding.ing everyday about migrants, he should focus on real issues, but he's not doing that. he is always on facebook, on twitter, making provocative statements which are aimed at raising social tension, so he is unfit to be a minister. migration, though, remains a divisive issue that stretches far beyond italy's borders. in an effort to broker a solution as part of this state of the union address, jean—claude juncker is expected state of the union address, jean—claudejuncker is expected to reveal details of an external border force of 10,000 staff. caroline rigby, bbc news. you can see more you can see more of you can see more of what matteo salvini had to say on hardtalk, today, if you look the programme's website for the transmission times where you are, it a good listen. but speak you and other stories in the news. a new law criminalising sexual harassment and violence is coming into law in morocco, legislation including a ban on forced marriage following growing concern about levels of a

is the salvini wants the open route the leader of he wants the open route no migrants and you want to settle this with europe so there is a big gulf between your two parties on this this is gulf now because the action of the government in the last european summit in all the discussion of the of the council was always to find and to implement what is our position to it that means a mandatory preventive redistribution are among the different countries and we have asked that with a united position on the. you know the different form maybe are not so much informed about that but this is the reality of the fact then and let's say i recognize that matter salvini sometimes is expressing very tough and strong the coloration by the is doing is saying that we are full of in self the action of the government sensibly different and we always ask through the mouth of the only person that is really in charge of this that means the prime minister to implement a disposition a common approach from all the you to reform the government system and to share the response of good will islam on the count let

is not me i this is the view of many people inside the five star party i said the view of matter salvini your interior minister yes that is not the result of belong. out of a coalition that is not part of the five star movement and our attitude i repeat once more is to prevent any attempts to do any kind of punishment towards the u.k. government because we usually think rejecting all premisses mase proposals was punishment. sorry i and i don't understand why you are seeing an attitude of mediator as a negative issue because basically you are telling me that if you are trying to play the role of the mediator or do something negative you can mean you you said nothing when the chips were down and the sounds were heard you said nothing that's what you are saying because you know very well that in the negotiations there are official negotiation and they are back side negotiation and in this case we think that signing the plumber c. can achieve better results than do a kind of war with a press release and a kind of worth work with public statement we want an excellent diplomatic solution and d

no surprise that his promises on migration are a big part of the salvini show but outside the populist bubble many are getting nervous about what the new government is actually achieving especially the financial markets. there are people who are against us government is free and independent from the multinationals from big finance from the banking powers both international and european we have no fears the italian economy is sound it's not in business is sound. and most economists disagree insisting that italy's in trouble but facts don't seem to get in the way of success. across the river from the festival people are trying to do something about that. political entity has organized a protest picnic they are sick of their new government claiming that migration is. answerable for everything. you got that baby to be that you don't want in reality it has problems like elsewhere we have high youth unemployment and many other people have only temporary jobs there are very few young people who get permanent contracts we have a high poverty rate in relative and absolute terms. it's no surpris

look at the salvini phenomenon in italy and so on. we are losing the battle.hy this is the time to regroup across a broad alliance of progressives, democrat, liberals, left—wingers, that have civilisation at the heart. before we drill down into the detail of that analysis, i do want to ask you whether you think it is justifiable to, as so many progressives and leftists do, use this trope about europe looking like europe in the 1930s. historian neil ferguson addressed that recently, saying it is nonsense and lazy. if one takes one example, italy, you just mentioned the fascists and mrsalvini. he has abandoned and we spoke with him the other day on hardtalk, he has abandoned many of his more radical positions, particularly on leaving the eurozone. well, he hasn't. he has strategically placed this on the backburner for a year. and we can discuss this next year. but what he has primarily done is that he has used the same storyline from the 1930s of promising the average italian, whose income has been, per capita, falling for 20 years, there's no doubt about that,

in the opposition answers to complex problems are often easier salvini has survived the first one hundred days in power unscathed but soon he will have to show if you can actually. see the art of get more now we're joined by seem a good journalist covering the story for us from rome and i just like to begin by asking you because a recent poll says that solving these league is currently italy is most popular party and is almost doubled its percentage since the march election how do you explain that. yes exactly i mean the figure during the just after the election was that the lead party so that's up eighteen percent of the vote share and now that figure in terms of his popularity the latest poll say thirty two point two percent so really a massive jump full of hockey that started off as a junior partner is now very much a key player now that's in large part because of medea selby he's really become a very shrewd politician as we saw in that report earlier and also really very very active on social media he calls very regularly on twitter as well as facebook and often items of sensational n

migrants is being fanned by italy's new populist government far right interior minister met tale salvini has promised to make the issue of illegal immigration a priority and then in an interview with max hoffman salvini said that he believed angela merkel had underestimated the challenges of allowing so many asylum seekers into the country max began by asking me if after one hundred days the new government had addressed italy's most pressing issues such as poverty and unemployment. so. i'm very happy with one hundred days on the my remit which is security immigration and public security we've achieved extraordinary results we're getting employment taxes and pensions in the autumn the new government will make its mark with a new path of change growth so i'm not worried about data for this period we're already working on growth which should finally rebound. but you know that let's talk about the european union and the topic of migration a little bit european union you seem at odds with the e.u. at some point do you feel like the goal going forward is to find compromise with the e.u. or con

mr salvini said the number of boats arriving to italy needs to go down.eached the italian coast over the past few years, creating a huge economic, social and legal problems. half of the citizens who are arrested or reported to police every day in italy are immigrants. so for security reasons and social order order, we need to reduce these arrivals. last year, 100,000 arrived. this year we had 20,000 arrivals, so i wanted to hold those who live the countries, and this is a limited number. for all the others, the doors are shut. but you are breaking the rules that were agreed by the italian government, with all the other member states of the european union, to run what is called operation sofia, and to have these migrant ships landed the nearest port, which happens to be italy. and you are now refusing to accept your responsibilities to take these people. translation: no, with sofia now in operation, that you mention, 115,000 immigrants were rescued at sea, and 40,000 arrived. we wa nt rescued at sea, and 40,000 arrived. we want to change these rules. we ar
