There was a Huge Campaign to free evelyn and in february the sentence was annulled, pending a retrial showing the baby had died of natural causes.

The backstop is a policy designed to avoid the return of a hard border between Northern Ireland which is part of the uk, and the irish republic which will remain in the eu. Borisjohnson is suggesting a commitment to put alternative arrangements in place by the end of a transition period, after brexit. The Us State Department has warned greece not to give any assistance to the Iranian Oil Tanker released by gibraltar. America said that doing so could be considered providing support to a designated terrorist organisation. The tanker set sail on sunday after being impounded for weeks on suspicion of transporting oil to syria. Its emerged that the disgraced american financierjeffrey epstein wrote a will two days before killing himself in a new york prison cell while awaiting trial on sex trafficking and conspiracy charges.

Italys parliament will hold an emergency session which may bring about the end of the year long coalition between the rival populist groups five star and the league. The anti immigrant league party has been soaring in opinion polls in recent months and its leader, Matteo Salvini, hopes to trigger early elections. So how do italians feel about another poll . 0ur correspondent James Reynolds went out to investigate. You have to rest in august. Im so sorry, were here because we are asking about politics, italian politics. 0k. 0h, are asking about politics, italian politics. 0k. Oh, gosh. Nobody here believes in politics. Yeah. Why not . Like now there is a crisis every two yea rs, like now there is a crisis every two years, there is a crisis and they change the government and they start all over again all the time. Fighting. Its not really stable. Well, lets get some more context on what is happening in italy. With me isjonathan charles, managing director of communications at the European Bank for reconstruction and development. Jonathan, really fascinating times in italian politics and this instability, i mean, its Matteo Salvini are really trying to get these early elections. And the signs are hes going to get enough backing . Its an interesting situation, definitely a busy day in italian politics. We heard your reported talking to people on beaches. Matteo salvini is the leader of the league, a part of this coalition no undergrad strain has also been out on the beaches all summer also been out on the beaches all Summer Coalition under great strain. He might get a step closer if the italian Prime Minister, his coalition partner, steps down. But clearly, as always in italian politics, there is a lot more going on. I think those in the five Star Movement i think maybe we perhaps need to form a coalition with the opposition, maybe we dont need you mr salvini or the league that we have been in coalition with over the last few months. I would say the situation is pretty much pretty unstable. And it has a knockon effect to the finance world as well. This is still one of europes biggest economies. We need to realise as well than most italians, the root of the current political troubles are the fact that Economic Growth has been so we can this has led into political instability. Its been about a decade at least since italy had some growth, it had very little Economic Growth in the last decade, it has an accumulated debt of 2 of gdp, the biggest after greece. The economy is clearly having difficulties and thats even before the current slowdown weve seenin before the current slowdown weve seen in mainland europe. So youve got a not very attractive economic situation, as well as political instability, that isnt going to play well in the weeks and months ahead unless a Coalition Government can be formed that is stable. It sta rts can be formed that is stable. It starts with the budget and important decisions have to be taken on the budget. The Financial Markets are going to get quite spooked if they see the focus is on having a new election rather than sorting out the budget situation. Investors were quite rattled at the talk of an early election, italian markets fell pretty dramatically that they about a week or so ago. And the rapper cousins, this is the last thing the eurozone needs right now given that there is the potential slowdown in germany, brexit to deal with, the last thing they need is a bit of a shock wave from rome. The political instability has fed into the european union. Italy in the past 14 months while this coalition has been governing has not been seen as a reliable partner for germany and france and italy obviously want the biggest countries in the eu as an important player as one of the biggest countries, so i think people wa nt to biggest countries, so i think people want to see a return to politics as normal in the country and a country they can rely on politically in a time, as you say, when they have to deal with brexit issues. They would like to know that at least germany, france and italy are solid together. 0n the basis of what is happening at the moment, anything could happen. Jonathan, for the moment thank you very much. Well see you later. Around 9,000 people have now been evacuated from their homes, on the Spanish Island of gran canaria, because of wildfires.
