Italys Prime Minister has resigned my address, he told the italian president sergio matter relevant. He was stepping down. The president says he asked dragging to stay on as a caretaker leader for now. The Prime Minister won a confidence vote on wednesday, but 3 Political Parties in his coalition refused to participate out of rainy, joins us live from rome. Now adam or italy, no stranger to political turbulence over the years. But tell us, how do we get to this critical point . Well, now weve had a really chaotic week here and italian politics. Im standing outside the president ial power for just a little more than an hour ago. The president accepted that resignation as you mentioned. But this was kicked off a week ago when draggy lost an earlier confidence vote. When one member of this National Unity government, he led, refuse to take part in that phone. Now, despite winning that vote even a week ago, so you said he couldnt continue without the 5 Star Movement. One of the larger blocks in his unity government. When he hindered his resignation, in note, the president rejected it and said, go back to parliament, try to build back your coalition, tell them what you need. Well, my dear that you did just that about 24 hours ago and i sent it on wednesday. And he gave this rousing speech, mentioning how high and around the country. 2000 and mayors had asked him to stay on publicly supporting him and calling on his unity government to get their act together and support this, this government to get through this crisis. So many things are happening in italy. Thats ongoing drought in the north. The work from 70 years, hes one of the leaders in european support has ukraine and the war with russia. And also rising prices are an issue here. So tie, its really wanting the government to continue. But despite that, when there was another confidence vote on wednesday after that speech several hours of backroom dealing just couldnt get the groups together. In fact, instead of just one party, now 3 parties that they wouldnt continue impossible for you to continue in such circumstances. He came back here after quitting the hill and this time a resignation with accepted. And were going to hear from the president and just a few hours effort. He meets with the president of the senate in the president of the lower house and its expected theyre going to reach some deal about early election. Nice. Talking about the elections. Of course, the splintering of batter Emergency Coalition does make this a likely possibility. But who do we think is going to benefit from possible at elections . Ah, well, we were outside parliament all day when say in the only party that seemed extremely happy where members of the brothers of italy party its part right. One party here in italy. Its currently polling around 25 percent showing it would win more seats than any other party if elections are held as early as the falls is expected. And that would be a big deal because it would come right as other european leaders were hoping for. A more centrist government to help lead italy and, and the you out of the pandemic. And what we would have if the brothers really win, if not naming the Prime Minister of georgia maloney, their party lead, they would have a big saying who the Prime Minister. And they are very skeptical of a lot of the policies that brocky has been at been pushing. Theyre not so happy about this ongoing support to war and ukraine. Theyre not so happy about migration in italy in and accepting people who arent european as they say. So this is a, this is a party that is hard right in italy and compared to the rest of your very hard, right . So well be seeing them perhaps come out, i had it in the election. So now that doesnt mean well decide everything, but they could really change the direction of the policy and out of many things out on rainy in the italian capsule that thank you. I will, alum friedman, is the author and journalist he joins his form via rojo. Im thank you so much for your company. Welcome to the news or us. We heard that from, from adam. Some concerns that early elections could, will be exploited by the fall rights in italy. Yeah, i think it is headed for a period of instability. Actions are probably in october that good will result in the neo, fascist, for those faxes already is hard right party that is full of admirers of the dictator. Most of the lead by this anti abortion, the anti immigrant pro from froze due to bad leader maloney. And that could mean the end of competence that is going to be having the economy. Were already seeing the spread of the green tab in germany, a government bomb skyrocketing, it plays in trouble. Obviously, if that is the case, i can imagine that heads will be spinning already in brussels in anticipation of what this might mean for the usa. I think what were going to see is 1st the Financial Markets are going to bet against a plea, and that was the Interest Rates for turning bonds directly. Well see the last stock market in trouble in brussels, where theyre supposed to give it to 120000000000 euros of next generation money. Complete the Digital Transformation in this ambitious poet and warranties program. Theyre going to be saying no without gravity. Look at the reforms that are needed to modernize me and therefore we wont give them the money. So theres going to be a rocky road ahead and it could take down christmas before they even form a government or is the real story here. If i may, is about Silvio Berlusconi because of the controversial former Prime Minister berlusconi so boarded the post fascist, supported the engine immigrants supporting the populace in bringing dr. You down just to have a seat on the table at his own party. But as tonys party is now splitting in june and then this Emergency Coalition headed by dragging it seems to have been doomed from the outset. Surely. No, the it was not doing both in the us that the governments that marriott Gravity Forms asked form as a national unique government february 2021. So about 16 months ago always was meant to last about 2 years. And so the next election, next february, or march, that wouldve occurred normally friday, ironically, had to support all the parties. The office already had the doors policy. So they basically made up excuses to bring them down as a matter of jealousy. And as a matter for caching on their phone numbers, i think now was you know, kind of election where its very likely that than leading party will be the post fashion never happened before with g 7. Countries that are post fascist party takes over the government, backed by berlusconi. And its going to be a mess because these people are incompetence with economic policy. They did a lot of damage. The populace over the last few years with a pension reform and throwing money around. So i think unfortunately, is going to fall from competent hands into incompetent popular stands in the next few months. Thats bad news for today and bad news for euro. I would try to draw, you is presented himself as a, as a very competent technocratic kind of leader. But a has been accused by critics of failing to bring together. The disputes are competing opposing elements of that coalition. Is that one of his principal failings . Do you think . No, i dont think thats the thing i want to be here. Im a enormous fan of mario drug. I think hes the best from this group weve had decades. I couldnt tame the populace because of a 5 Star Movement splintered a civil war and he couldnt jane. The other populace the from the right way. And because theres clearly so theres a great chaos right now underway. Robbie came into office with really just 3 things. Get. Ready one, you had to lay out and manage the started with 200000000000. 00 euro Modernization Program using european mother and passing reforms to you had to manage the rest of the quote with which after all it put it in a very tough vaccination policy and got 90 percent of the italians vaccinated, which is not bad by International Standards and 3, to manage the situation where it is part of nature when youre in a war that are launched. And that became the most controversial issue because the populace tend to be pro lately. So now the forces who are pro, who can make take over the italian government, looks like we could be heading into a very, very turbulent time for italy going forward. And friedman, great to have you on the news out run a victim. A singer has been sworn in israel and because president , he was elected by m p. s, despite widespread public protests, many sri lanka, say hes just partly responsible for the current economic crisis. The crime, a thing is, says hes going to be tough on what he calls on democratic demonstrators. He will complete the time it goes to by roger pac so he resigned off to fleeing to singapore last week. The political and economic instability is pushing many to consider, leaving the country that boston has more from outside of the possible office in columbus. While honey a week her missing, i was inaugurated. As the 8th executive president of sri lanka, these people were standing in a long cute, none of them have been paying any attention, nor was it a reason for them to celebrate their being in this queue for around 3 days. They have been sleeping here. They have been eating here. They have been waiting. Most of the time, theyve been waiting to get a passport because they all want to leave the country. The situation has become so dire for their families to feed their families, to get fuel to get jobs. Thats why to have decided to leave. Most of them want to go to the middle east and theyre trying to get a passport. Its an enormous q, its the largest group, the longest q ive seen since ive been in sri lanka. So this is a huge task that week im a senior has to deal with. He has to deal with a very dire the most serious economic situation. The country has seen since its independence. And what hes trying to do now is been reaching out to other parties, trying to build is National Coalition government and see if there is going to be some consensus to found. A way out of this. Iraq is holding a day of morning after an attack on a tourist town in the kurdish region killed 8 people and wounded 23. The artillery bombardment happened in the mountainous tourist resorts of zacko in the north took. He rejects allegations that it carried out the strike saying it was a terror attack, or minister must offer alco jamie has borne and curb of baghdad reserves the right to retaliate. Turkey regularly carries out as strikes in Northern Iraq targeting members of the kurdistan Workers Party, which it classifies as a terrorist group. Where my quote of the why had joins me now live from baghdad. And i got the people are starting to gather outside the turkish consulate there. A bullet need, as you can see here, right behind me, angry professors have gathered in front of the turkish conflict in about a dozen members. At last night they pulled down the turkish flag here, and they say that they are trying to put pressure on the iraqi authorities to downsize diplomatic representation with her key. In fact, they say that they want up that the diplomatic representation with target to be halted for the time being, as you can see there now chanting against it, turkey, they have been chanting against turkey that accusing Turkish Forces of carrying out the attack that killed 8 civilians and injured more than 20 other at 70 ins, most of them women and children on wednesday and zacko dissolved in another net, a iraq. Despite the fact that the accusation against turkey up came from the high st levers and iraq from the president of the state. But im saw that from the Prime Minister, most people called me and some other several other political and institutions entities in the country. But as ill viet did Fact Finding Mission that was sent by baghdad to the notes at last night last night has not reaching any conclusions yet has not reached any conclusions yet. But these people here are that is still accusing turkey of carrying out this attack, despite the fact that turkey denies that and says its there at could this tan Workers Party fight us, are the ones who have carried out that attack these people say that they do not trust turkey, given the fact that military operations had been carried out by Turkish Forces near the borders with iraq in the past. My married abdulla had in bagdad, thank you. Oh, sim costello is in a stumble where the government nurses, its not responsible for the attack since yesterday. Turkish Foreign Ministry and military sources have been saying that this is a terror attack. This is not done by the Turkish Military and Turkish Foreign minister to he repeated that he rejected the claims of Turkish Military targeted civilians. He said Turkish Military never target civilians anywhere in the world. And the world knows that and turkey claims that these oppressions in Northern Iraq against the output, curtis, the Workers Party, the p k. K, is to defend itself against terrorism. And it is in line with international law. A Turkish Military has been conducting a counter p. K. Cooperation in Northern Iraq for many years. And since last april it has been a very intensive operation that targeted the p k. K elements and the camps in Northern Iraqs rural areas. And apparently the village where the civilians were killed yesterday was very close to the area where the p k. K. Camps were and where the Turkish Military has been actually shelling since the morning. I have been hearing from the kurdish local sources that the area is very close to the operation area. And the group was also guided by at a tourism guide. And the locals are also curious why the civilians, the tourists who came from bag that have been brought very close to the military operation area.

And they were disappointed with no announcement of a Climate Emergency or executive action. Only a repetition of the threat that hell take action if congress doesnt. This is an emergency, an emergency, and i will, i will look at it that way. I said last week, i said again loud and clear as president , ill use my executive power to combat climate Climate Crisis in the absence or congressional action. The problem in congress essentially lies in the senate, in particular, one of the president s own party, jo mansion whos pulled out of negotiations over climate legislation. Given the senates 5050 split, this means unless some republicans break party ranks. Any legislation will simply not pass because of ah, if one senator in particular, jo mansion who get more money from not oil and gas industry than virtually any other sen. I didnt.

Now the World Health Organization says millions of refugees of migrants are in poor health in our house communities. A study by the w 8 show as assessed about 1000000000 people globally who are considered migrants are among the most vulnerable and neglected groups. Migrant workers often take on dangerous and demeaning jobs. Many are at risk of workplace accidents and health risks, and they often have limited access to health care. O m santino st. Ever. Any joins us now from geneva. Hes the director of health, the Migration Program at the w. H. O. Welcome to the news our in essence, what does this report really say about how some of the wealthiest most developed economies in the world view . So the most fragile communities by grants, refugees, thank you. Good and good afternoon. Good morning everybody. We, the report we felt was the right time to draw a teacher, a baseline teacher of the situation worldwide. In terms of the health, implication of Population Movement for too often, the Health Aspects as being all such offer sometimes toxic narrative or, or certainly an adult, equal narrative based on baby fragile, dense and fox and data. And the concern that despite the swish and is evolving that this is the positive part of the story, many countries they are better than bet that understanding are important and how to deal with the needs of this population still remain very concerned. Because with this Group Population which is not small, 11000000000 is still left behind. And we want that to better document the mechanic of the problems. Better document the evidence and make it available for policy makers, for politicians, for experts in order to use the explanation for 5, the research, but also auctions and policy actions and saturdays a shaping them provision at the country level. Right, exactly. I mean, what do you hope this report will eventually achieve . How will it inform governments to do better . We really believe so, and we believe that this is a starting point, not an arrival point. The report is also clearly lighting where we need to do more. But also clearly lighting the cases of good practices, which could be a very powerful inspiration for other countries. So we wanted to look mental that and indeed we want to really stop these phenomena of narrative. And it dont matter. People and yell hospital Population Movement by investing more and more into quality research, better data and solid evidence, right . Im one of those narrative. So this report hopes to debunk is the migrant refugees are in some way inherently less healthy. That report says otherwise the, thats actually one of the point, the metaphor isnt migrants are norm of people saw as opposed to the risk of diseases. Risk factors like the rest of the population. But unfortunately, in the case of refugees, those are people which theyre going to be exposed to dramatic situation in many cases, which they are going to leave. Unfortunately, in, in sometimes impediment and case consequences. We think him out about the post traumatic disorders and mental health. But also spoke to more classic diseases like Communicable Diseases or chronic diseases, the show of migrants. But my gonna issue is the final adjustment if they get include that or not in there, on the society of arrival, the level of exclusion. Its somehow mirroring the risk increase of possible disease or poor health we have seen in recent years, a significant amount of suspicion discrimination towards refugees and my going to how important is it that this report cuts to the chase and explains things that they really are. Its very important because that section is a reality for those which that having the perception in that moment. So its very important that we are able to overcome those irrational way of thinking and be this is affecting also the quality of services by the workers. Thats why the, the portal so wanted to share the latest the block in terms of defining standard competency standards for our coworkers in order to be more efficient than effective in this regard. And was wonderful to see that many countries that are already walking this off in countries are all over the world in the gold, for example, investment into strength and competence stand off Migrant Workers in order to better serve the population they are working with. So bitty bitty interesting practices example are available in this regard, but still we have far away from saying that his mission is that we need to do more need to do more. Indeed, santino several rainy director of health and migration at the w. I show great to have your laneesa the speaker of the us house of representatives is expected to visit taiwan next month. The move thats being met with fierce criticism from china and c policies. Trip would make her one of the highest ranking american officials to visit the self governing island and decades. Beijing has worn washington. It will take forceful measures if the visit goes ahead. Beijing consider taiwan, it, sovereign territory. Brian hugh is a political commentator and founder of new blue magazine. He says theres a growing push from the u. S. To show support for taiwan, but the visit will be seen as an escalation of tension by beijing. So its, its a timing, but equity. There has been increasing spotlight on taiwan as a result of, for example, covered 19, but also rising us trying attentions and so under the jump ministration, but then also on the bottom ministration. One has seen more attention paid to attempt to show support for talk as included. For example, us centers do things i want to think back seen donations. And so this would be another layer of installation having the us peak of a house visit. I want i instead timing of the original timing of the chart there was an april, then pelosi contract, cobra 1900. It was unable to think that would have been after the ukraine invasion. And so that would have been attempting to reassure. But now months later, i think that the timing has changed. So that is why we see a lot of paper from aging in regards to a politician want to you for some time off. Sometimes it takes place in the form of aaron curve and just how on air defense identification is done in which aeroplanes identified. And so there are fears and china potentially escalates, offering others discussion of china could do a 2 actions and 190. Regarding the price of person, i think that is a little bit overblown as not to that point. Yes, it is possible, but then that same time one knows that theres a lot of things. There are all kinds of covered 19 being to lock them. Seating thing is seeking on present. Its a 3rd term at the 20th National Congress later this year. But perhaps the stability in or for that to happen. The process, foreign minister says moscows military go in, ukraine has widens beyond the Eastern Region of dom bath. So like a lever off, told state media the forces would target the regions of car thong and suffer reader from the some states should you go when there was a meeting in eastern bull, there was one geography and our willingness to accept. The ukrainian proposal was based on that geography for the geography at the end of march 2022. Now that your fee is different, this is not only the eleanor and the d, n r. This is also the curse and region and the sample regio region, and a number of other territories. This process continues and continues consistently and persistently. The u. S. Says high mobility, artillery rocket systems, or him alls of been you successfully by ukraine. At a meeting on wednesday, washington and its allies agree to st more military aid us defense secretary lloyd austin, says rushes expansion plans come as no surprise.
