how precarious a session relation -- a situation is sell beanie -- salvini in now? majoris basically under pressure from his advisers. most want him to go for an early election because all he can do is make the government collapse, and it is in the hands of the head of state whether an alternative majority can be found or whether early elections have to be called. it is a gamble for cellini because he needs the early elections to be called, and he has to be able to capitalize on the big vote he had in the european elections in may. that also depends on how the opposition parties perform. vonnie: what options does he have to get this back on some kind of solid footing? messages are a bit ambiguous -- his messages are a bit ambiguous. he keeps saying the government will keep going as long as he his priorities through. he is very lent against the accusing movement, them of attacking him. there has been a call by his ally for a meeting today. which could be a peace offering, but we have yet to hear they have actually met. vonnie: salvini said he would stay away from to

up in the polls i think is now a support rate of 35 percent italians this is terrifying even even salvini is making all these speeches maybe he's fueling it but maybe he's just reflecting a sentiment that isn't to the in italy as you mentioned in the 1st place was one of the countries that most refugees came in from the mediterranean and they had a huge influx of immigrants so this is a very very complicated. connection between what causes what there is clearly 0 fall break sentiments inviting populism that has the fight you have to fight these xina for big anti-foreign and sentiments on the other hand you have to reflect. that there is no consensus in the societies in europe about home of the migrants could be could be coming from tree so let me come back now to this question of incentives and disincentives because that in fact was in your opening statement under mary that you said we won't combat illegal migration by letting people die at the borders is that in fact what you think salvini is doing trying to disincentive on these people to calm and clearly you don't think it works in tha
