everyone in the has to understand that if italy is in trouble, you need to help italy. because the opposite is to make europe collapse. some are saying that what you have done is bring not the fascists but a very right—wing nationalist party back into government, in italy, of a kind that has not been seen since mussolini. i have respect for the 6 million voters of the northern league, i don't think they feel close to mussolini. having said that, the mistrust between each other brought us to create this agreement to start the government. we are a democratic party. we respect human rights, human dignity, international law. there would be no room for that. thank you so much for talking to us tonight, thank you. thank you, goodbye. so what does this all mean for the old guard in italy, and those in the rest of europe? i'm joined now from geneva by sandro gozi, an italian mp for the democratic party and, until today, italy's europe minister. very good evening to you, thanks forjoining us, i wonder what you make of what we just heard... really, they are talking about a kind

italy pulls back from the brink. spain topples over it. in the uk, the conservatives look for compromise over brexit. and donald trump marshals his diplomatic forces for peace. to discuss all of that with me — greg katz of the news agency the associated press, stefanie bolzen from the german newspaper die welt, the iranian writer nazenin ansari and iain martin, columnist with the british newspaper the times. there's an old joke that the united kingdom and the united states are two nations divided by a common language. but whether you say "aluminum" and i say "aluminium", a 10% tariff on imports of that and 25% on imports of steel is not a friendly gesture. on friday, donald trump's administration imposed the duties, saying negotiations with the european union, canada and mexico haven't made enough progress in the two months since he first threatened tariffs on foreign metals. the french said it was illegal, the british called it absurd, and justin trudeau, canada's prime minister, looked hurt. stefanie, the european commissioner responsi

world cup without italy isa they said. world cup without italy is a world cup, said andrei. a bit like brazil without coffee added his friend —— andrea. fora like brazil without coffee added his friend —— andrea. for a few minutes at least, they appeared to enjoy putting aside their country's footballing failure. this summer, italy may be turning in on itself with a sense of resignation, gloom and shame, but it is not all bad news. one set of italian players has decided to redeem this country's reputation. the italian women's team has done what the men couldn't do. the women have just qualified for their world cup to be held in 2019. it is the first time they have made it in 20 years. we met the squad at their training it in 20 years. we met the squad at theirtraining camp it in 20 years. we met the squad at their training camp outside florence. unlike their male counterparts, they are not multimillionaires, and they don't have their own clothing brands. but this 22—year—old striker tells me that the women's game is on the rise. i am sure there are going to bea r

they have increased in italy by 3%. you have an electorate sold the promise of the euro, lots of warnings at the time that it was imperfectly designed and heading for a smash at some point. it seems to be almost impossible to reform. president macron is doing brilliantly in many respects, but there doesn't seem to be any sense... we could have had this conversation six or seven years ago and saying the same things and yet it is still there. italy and the love for europe of the italians and they felt let down because of the refugee crisis. it was italy who had to cope because of the dublin agreements, data in hundreds and thousands of refugees and where pretty much left alone with it. no wonder people say they don't help us, why should we stick to the project. greece is suffering from the refugee crisis as well. and malta. there have been reports of refugees selling their passports and returning to turkey or syria. because they cannot cope, the culture change as well. europe is faced with so many tremors and fault lines

they have increased in italy by 3%. you have an electorate sold a promise of the europa there were lots of warnings at the time that it was imperfectly design. —— sold a promise of the euro, but there were lots of warning. emmanuel macron is doing well in many respects at... we could have had this conversation six or seven have had this conversation six or seve n years have had this conversation six or seven years ago and have had this conversation six or seven years ago and we have had this conversation six or seven years ago and we might have been saying the same things and yet it is still that. talking about italy and the love of the italians for europe. they feel let down because of the refugee crisis will stop what country had to cope? it was not germany, but italy, over decades or a decade at least. they took in hundreds of thousands of refugees who were pretty much left alone with it. no wonder they say people don't help us, why should we stick to the project? reeth has been suffering from the refugee crisis

we head to italy for a cut—price guide to florence. there are many, many places you can see forfree in florence. florence is an open—air museum. we find out how to make your travel pictures pop online. and we take a walk on the wild side in spain. we start this week in florence. it's one of the most beautiful cities in italy, full of renaissance art and architecture. but recent price increases at art galleries and museums have scared off some travellers. so we sent keith wallace to see if there are ways to experience this iconic italian city on a budget. they call it the cradle of the renaissance, and you can see why. the streets, piazzas and galleries drip with pieces from some of the most celebrated figures in history. donatello, michelangelo, leonardo da vinci. here's where you go if you want to see all those masters in one place. it is the uffizi gallery and it is incredibly popular. you can tell that because there is a huge queue. are you paying the 20 euros? yes. quite expensive. yes, but i hope it's worth it. me too. this year

but neither italy, or malta, had allowed the ship to dock. nearly half a million migrants have arrived in italy since 2015, with 120,000 arriving by sea last year alone. that's nearly double the number in greece and spain combined in 2017. most of the migrants come from west africa, including nigeria, guinea and ivory coast. but italy's new populist government has promised a tougher stance on migration, as our correspondent james reynolds reports. the aquarius left sicily on friday in order to save lives. italian officials even directed it towards these migrants struggling to stay afloat off the coast of libya. i need more life jackets, take them off people if you must. let's go. this was not an easy rescue. hold on. we need starboard side recovery, right now. but in the end, everyone was saved. one by one guys. 0ne after the other, one after the other. you, in the raft. go, go, go. the aquarius then headed back towards sicily, fully expecting to be able to dock. but without warning, italy's new populist government closed its ports. it said t

help patient will financial markets be with italy? because of the government of servicing its huge debt is going up by the day —— the cost. the cost of borrowing for the italian government will remain stable, provided they don't try to leave the eurozone automatic massive relief on debt. if they stick to domestic politics such as tax reform and in relation to reinvigorating the economy, i think that will actually provide the italian economy sta ble actually provide the italian economy stable ground and the financial market will give it the benefit of the doubt. it is really only be possibility of leaving the euro which will rock investor confidence. we will keep a close eye. david, thank you for your time this morning. as we've been hearing, the fashion designer kate spade has been found dead at home. she was 55. kate spade turned her name into a global brand, and her rise to success reads like a classic american tale of a self—made businesswoman. nada tawfiq looks back at her career. people have been expressing shock over the n

they are pa rt entry by italy and malta. they are part of a growing row over the way the eu handles migration. boko haram jihadists have attacked a town in north—east nigeria. six female suicide bombers were involved. rocket propelled grenades were fired into crowds celebrating the eid festival. a day of surprise

here's why this is big issue in italy. this shows the number of migrants arriving in europe's mediterranean nations. italy takes the most in — and its new populist government wants that to change. and certainly its making itself felt. this is german ngo ship lifeline. it has more than 230 migrants on board. it has been blocked by italy and malta from docking. it's now moored about 25km off malta. this is danish container ship alexander maersk. it's near the sicilian port of pozzallo with 108 migrants. they were rescued on friday. it's not clear where the boat will now go. and last week we talked a lot about the search and rescue ship aquarius — it was carrying more than 600 migrants — and after malta and italy said no, spain agreed to allow it to dock. well, the aquarius is now back at sea awaiting its next rescue. gavin lee is on board. this is a snapshot of life on board the charity run aquarius ship. we are 30 miles off the coast of libya, just north of tripoli just now. and the workers here at doctors without bor

we have talked a lot about italy in the last week. we had about italy in the last week. we had a man whose name i can't remember on the programme. but now we are back on conte. and we have this clear message that that is coming quarters, but it will only be for the time being, isn't it? there were two issues that are unsettling the markets in relation to italy. one has not gone away, which is the thought that this coalition of two antiestablishment parties would be boosting public spending and would not be making the tax increases to pay for it, the thought being the italy's precarious government finances would get worse. that is still a worry. what seems to have gone away is the idea that italy could conceivably end up leaving the eurozone. that was because of this nomination for economy minister which was vetoed by the president. now he is not being put in that position, although it appears he will have a job in the cabinet. the markets have taken a degree of consolation from that. he will only be europe minister. thanks very much. in a moment, we'll take a look throug

you have countries who did not even take one immigrant, either from italy or greece. to help these particular countries, there are only two countries who fulfilled their allocation quota. those are malta and ireland. all the other countries did not fulfil their allocation quotas. so if we really believe in solidarity, if these member states really want to help out in this situation, why couldn't they have at least fulfilled their allocation quotas that they had to fulfil? there is a democratic element here as to whether a country wants to be multicultural or not. hungary says, "no, we don't want to be multicultural. we used to be that before 1914, but then britain, france turned us into a monocultural country, so leave us alone now." a potential answer doing the rounds here this week is that the eu should set up reception centres in non—eu countries — an idea we put to the migration commissioner, dimitris avramopoulos. can you give me an example where a country that has accepted to host such a camp in this soil, somewhere in africa or in asia? so that's your way o

turning italy into a refugee camp is not. this time someone is saying no. " his point was malta should take them. this is what the maltese president said. this is something like in a family when we discuss and there could be an argument but those arguments are not diplomatic crisis. we are friends. we are friends. we are basically one mediterranean family. next, enter the spanish prime minister who said... but the italian interior minister has welcomed that, he has declared victory saying evidently raising your voice pays off. translation: i have great satisfaction, as deputy premier and as interior minister, and as a father at how the issue of this barge is resolving itself, this umpteenth barge. it is a first important sign italy cannot continue to endure alone this burden. the maltese prime minister isn‘t sounding considered free. he says... one of these big rescue boats is now going to have to go from the mediterranean all the way across to valencia on the coast of spain. that is where the migrants will come ashore but

and they know in italy they have an unpredictable government. thank you for joining unpredictable government. thank you forjoining us for that interesting discussion in brussels. 0ur reporter greg dawson has it in his contract that we play that whenever he appears, ori that we play that whenever he appears, or i sing it. he is here to tell us about the other galileo, the eu satellite navigation system, and it is the cause of a big brexit bust up. why? galileo is essentially the european equivalent of the us gps navigation system. now, since its inception in 2003, the uk has been front and centre. it has developed a lot of the satellites for the system, which are said to be a lot more than stand accurate than gps. £1 billion of uk taxpayer money has gone into it. i think the uk government were rather hoping that brexit wouldn't have a faq that its future participation. —— wouldn't have affected. was that are naive, do you think, bearing in mind that brexit seems to seep into all aspects of policy, and does the eu have a point in saying, well

but the very popular retailer but before that, italy and spain, it's all a go before that, italy and spain, it's alla go and before that, italy and spain, it's all a go and yet it isn't. we have new leaders and their saying that leading the way is they appoint new primaries and the marker is happy for that stability, but how long will it last? yes there was fear at the start of the week that italy was heading for new elections and having populist party as the 5—star moving in and the northerly were going to wina in and the northerly were going to win a bigger majority, potentially come out for leading the euro, as they had not done previously. now that has been resolved so they will not have an antihero finance minister appointed, but this is still the biggest challenge the euro is facing. you never had a situation where one of the major ones, you have populist right—wing coalition, they want to let spending rep they wa nt they want to let spending rep they want to cut taxes, they want to give every italian 780 euros a month for free. this is completely flouting the euro zones ru

germany wants deals that keep migrants out, while italy wa nts that keep migrants out, while italy wants germany and the rest of the eu to ta ke wants germany and the rest of the eu to take more migrants in. so, as one eu diplomat put it this evening, italy has taken them all hostage. and as we speak other eu leaders are discussing migration in what i can only imagine is a very badtempered dinner. the headlines on bbc news: a british nurse is found guilty of trafficking nigerian women and girls. it is a legal first for such a crime committed outside the uk. at least five people have been killed and others are seriously injured after a gunman opened fire at a local newspaper in annapolis, maryland. late—night talks are continuing at the eu summit in brussels, as italy demands help with the migration crisis. one of the first firefighters to enter grenfell tower has been describing the moment he realised the blaze was spreading outside the building. charles batterbee thought he had extinguished the flames in the flat where it started, but when he looked outside, he said it rained fire as

people came to italy last year. the populist uprising has come from that. and this comes off the back of him and turning away a migrant shipjust last back of him and turning away a migrant ship just last week. back of him and turning away a migrant shipjust last week. yes, he is also applauded the fact that the nomadic was demolished. as we head discussed, with trump, echoes what the not these did. this isn't really very worrying. more worrying is something similar that is happening in america is happening in europe. normally, that sort of populist politics, and if you like, coming together people who seem to think alike about refugees and people coming for shelter to the country, thatis coming for shelter to the country, that is very worrying. a brief chat at this hour. thank you both very much. we'll have more at 11.30 with a longer look at the papers. thank you both very much. do not forget that you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it is all there for you, seven days a week,.

today the deputy prime minister of italy are effectively the most powerful man in italy right now said that it will be the libyan coastguards that have the entire responsibility for the waters and he wants to block it, non—governmental boats from... charity workers say they have had many occasions when fast boats blocked by italian coastguards, it is the libyans that will do that. the accused the italians of breaching international maritime laws will stop thank you. apologies for the dropout and sound. not easy broadcasting from a ship off the coast of libya. this weekend the leaders of 16 eu states met in brussels. the eu commission is in favour of setting up these disembarkation centres in north africa. — there is also a plan to strengthen the eu border patrol with 10,000 extra guards by 2020 — and an ambitious proposal to return 70% of the illegal migrants by 2019. but, there's no agreement on what to do about secondary migration — those who register for asylum in one country but then cross to another. germany has threatened to close its border by sunday unless a solution is

france has called italy's actions irresponsible. italy's response is simple. "don't criticise us when we have taken in far more migrants than you". translation: we have nothing to learn from anyone in terms of solidarity. our history does not deserve to be reproached in these terms by members of the french government, who i hope apologise. as if to make italy's point, this morning its coastguards brought in more than 900 migrants rescued from the mediterranean. this country remains open to migrants so long as they are brought in under an italian flag. italy has a legal obligation to bring to safety all those it finds at sea. but the new italian populist government doesn't want these, its newest arrivals, to stay in this country. it's angry that fellow eu members are not rushing to share this burden. the union's most powerful voices accept that italy has a point. translation: we need to find a common eu policy. there are some countries that are particularly hit by immigration these days. like italy, greece and spain. this is exactly what the fish mongers in cat

he wants more deportations, and to discourage people coming to italy at all. translation: it's not enough to reduce landings. we need to increase expulsions. last year, we deported just 7,000 immigrants. at this rate, it'll take a century. we must open deportation centres in each region, making stronger agreements with countries of origin, and renegotiate italy's role in europe. this country is the main destination for people crossing the sea from north africa to europe, and many here argue it has placed a strain on the economy. and, while there are those who say refugees and migrants are still welcome, it seems the voices against are louder. the country's new, populist government was sworn in last week, having promised a tough line on immigration. salvini wants other countries to share the load when it comes to refugees, saying it is the only way to stop thousands of desperate people risking their lives. across the sea, in tunisia, the human cost of trying to make it to europe. 0ur boat filled with migrants capsized off the coast near the city of sfax. many d

italy's president has sworn in the country's new prime minister. guiseppe conte is a 53—year—old academic, chosen by the anti—establishment parties which won the last election. after a german town was alerted that five big cats had escaped from a local zoo, it has emerged that the animals had never left their enclosures. the apparent escape of two lions, two tigers and a jaguar from eifel zoo in lunebach, which had flooded overnight, sparked a major search by the authorities and residents were urged to stay inside their homes. there is one set side to this story. one asian black bear that did break out from its flooded enclosure was shot. how the other animals were reported missing is unclear. it is time for all the sports news. the message so far between english and bashing in pakistan is don't bat first. they were bowled out cheaply and the exact same thing has happened to pakistan. the home side 100 --106-2. they happened to pakistan. the home side 100 —— 106—2. they reply happened to pakistan. the home side 100 ——106—2. they r

giuseppe conte has been sworn in as italy's new prime minister. he'll lead a cabinet assembled by the country's two main populist parties. they are the anti—establishment five star movement and the right—wing league, and they've promised radical change. the swearing in follows months of political uncertainty, which has worried brussels and spooked financial markets. jenny hill sent this from rome. it's the moment europe's been waiting for — a new italian prime minister. giuseppe conte, a law professor with no political experience. and, sworn in one by one, a new government, an anti—establishment coalition. it almost didn't happen at all. paolo savona, first choice for foreign minister and fierce critic of the euro, was rejected by the italian president. after desperate talks, a compromise was made, for giovanni tria, a more moderate academic who will now oversee italy's finances. an end to uncertainty, then, but perhaps the drama is onlyjust beginning. the new government already controversial. it's promised to deport half a million migrant

but more than 13,000 have been registered in italy so 13,000 have been registered in italy so far this year. problem hasn't gone away. the bottom line is that there is a humanitarian imperative to rescue people and to bring them to rescue people and to bring them to the nearest port. notwithstanding there are lots of arguments about which is the right port to bring them to but clearly people in distress need to be looked after. and recall also that the smugglers aren't part of this, they don't care, as and they will be sending more people, even today. the aquarius says it has supplies for a few more days. but there are many vulnerable people on this odour crowded vessel, people suffering hypothermia and burns, at least seven women who are pregnant. but for the moment they have nowhere to go and this stand—off doesn'tjust affect them, the next migrants rescued in the southern mediterranean may well face the same problem. richard lister, bbc news. the budget retailer poundworld has gone into administration putting more than 5000 jobs at risk. the company, which has 335 stores around th

italy wants that to, there arejust of the arrivals. italy wants that to, there are just different ways of trying to push the message. european leaders will be confronting this issue in the next few weeks particularly at their summit at the end of next week. this whole issue has now falls to the question of what to do with these arrivals right up what to do with these arrivals right up to the top of their agenda against. thank you. the headlines on bbc news: an extra £20 billion a year in real terms for the nhs is announced by theresa may. the prime minister says it's funded in part by brexit, and hints at tax increases. there are calls for a change in the law after the home office allows a boy with severe epilepsy to be treated with an illegal form of cannabis oil. the first of hundreds of migrants who've been the focus of a european dispute over immigration arrive in spain more than a week after being rescued. firefighters have spent a second night at the scene of a huge blaze at the glasgow school of art. it's the second fire there

and italy says malta has refused to take in 200 migrants currently on board a mediterranean rescue ship. the crisis over immigration rules in the united states, looks no closer to being resolved. earlier, president trump pressed the case for greater border security, appearing in a news conference with people whose family members were killed by undocumented immigrants. meanwhile, along the southern border, hundreds of children remain separated from their parents. that's despite a u—turn on the policy by president trump. the bbc‘s aleem maqbool is in el paso, texas with this report. in a detention camp close to the mexican border, the us is holding children. we saw them being trooped between tents in single file. in many cases, they were separated from their parents by immigration officials. often their mothers and fathers, who themselves are in detention, have no idea where their children are. this seven—year—old has finally been reunited with his mother after they we re reunited with his mother after they were separated three weeks ago. his mother said she followed all the rules

italy's new populist government warns it will impound the lifeline if it reaches italian territory. instead, italy is urging malta to take the ngo vessel, arguing the smaller country is the nearest safe port. but malta has often said it doesn't have the capacity to accommodate large numbers of survivors. in order to prevent another stand—off at sea, other european countries are now getting involved. the government of spain, which last week provided the port to the ngo boat aquarius, says it's now in contact with malta, italy and also france. stay with us on bbc world news, still to come. when wedding bells ring in uganda, so do the cash registers. we look at the rising cost of tying the knot. as saudi women get ready to take the wheel on sunday, we find out why the switch to the driver's seat is only a small step. members of the neo—nazi resistance movement stormed the world trade center armed with pistols and shotguns. we believe that, according to international law, that we have a rightful claim on certain parts of this country as ourland. i take pride in the words "ich bin ei

but actually, the perceptions, for example, in italy is interestingly different. so for example, as the flows have declined by 75%, 51% of italians still think that they are higher as of last year. so that they are higher as of last yea r. so clearly that they are higher as of last year. so clearly this is, like, political crisis and the narrative. and sure, there is also media. meaning that every time you see a boat arriving, i know that the arrivals down, but the public does not know. so once the boat arrives carrying 1000 migrants, everybody believes we are in crisis mode and we go back to crisis mode, and leaders try to find a solution to immigration flows. the populist government in italy is, perhaps, in some quarters being blamed for this current crisis because it is refusing to let certain ships dock. but is italy still struggling under the weight of the migrants that came a few years ago? are they still having trouble processing them and looking at the asylum claims? well, if you look at pending asylum requests, it is still 150,000, that for italy is the m

he describes the rejection by italy and malta of those rescued at sea as inhumane. translation: they don't respect human rights. they are decisions that don't respect international agreements about which ports to use after a rescue and these are decisions which, if we allow them to happen, would turn the mediterranean sea into a mass grave. the people who spain took in today seeking refuge or opportunity in europe are from more than two dozen countries. among their number, 80 women and 100 children. some making the riskyjourney with families, many unaccompanied. spain will now give them all free medical care and a 45—day permit to stay while they lodge asylum claims. italy says it will continue to prevent all private rescue boats from using its ports. if italy is going to refuse you entry, are you going to continue to pick people up out of the sea? as long as people are dying and we saw only a few days ago another 12 deaths in that part of the mediterranean. also many people died here south of spain, so as long as that continues, we do not have a choice. this grou

italy's got two main aims at the summit. the first is to get the rest of the eu to agree to share out migrants more equally to take the pressure off frontline states like italy. but this idea is likely to meet resistance from states in central and eastern europe. and italy's second main aim is to get support for its planned to stop migration the mediterranean altogether. it plans to do this by helping to build migration holding centres on the external borders of libya. there are a number of questions about this but italy's interior minister, matteo salvini, has told the bbc he doesn't expect any objections from europe. we'll see. my colleaguejenny hill is in berlin. might not think that angela merkel, renowned for her liberal values, has much in common with the new italian government. but right now their interests are aligned. she's already indicated support for migrant detention centres, she's always wa nted detention centres, she's always wanted eu migrant quotas and you can expect proposals to strengthen the eu's borders,
