we were talking about italy reopening some of the economic things italy would need right now in terms of reforms to get on a better footing. do italians feel like they have had enough solidarity from europe? we have this fund that was proposed france and germany. does europe need to do more, or is it ok for now? matteo: i believe europe really period oflot in this lockdown. please consider that the news about europe in the last three thans was absolutely more the news about europe in the last three years. i believe that is the reality. and i don't know if that is the consequence of brexit, because inside thelondon e.u., maybe a lot of news recovery,y, and their may in the case of the presence of the u.k. in the e.u., maybe that will be not possible. but now this equation is that a very good job from ursula von der leyen, a very good job from angela merkel and francois mark cohen-- and francois mark -- and francois and mark cohen. now it is time to give a new hope. we cannot, we cannot attack europe. tax,n give only our europe, rate change in the last month. francine: we are seeing a l

italy did not initiate either war. its military is frequently portrayed as rather incompetent and ill-equipped. its near win in the first war and a decided not-win in the second decided it was not very important. but i think research and conversations show italy has a lot to tell us about 20th-century political, cultural, and social crises and movements on responses to those crises. and ultimately, i think that we as americans often like to compare italy to germany or france or britain, and therefore it's not as important. but i actually think you cannot understand any of the national context without understanding how they interact with one another. and ultimately, in terms of world war ii, you cannot understand adolf hitler and naziism without first understanding benito mussolini and italian fascism. dr. bischof: you learned italian in college. you did not grow up in an italian-american family? dr. mclean: no, i didn't. i don't have italian heritage. my father was a historian of germany so i grew up learning some germ

after months of lockdown italy is reopening its borders to travelers from europe to rescue the country's tourism industry but many fear visitors are still afraid to come. i'm sumi so much going to thank you for joining us demonstrators in the u.s. have taken to the streets for the 8th night in a row many defied curfews imposed in a number of cities but the protests were relatively calm compared to previous days the demonstrators are demanding an end to racism after a white police officer killed an unarmed black man george floyd by kneeling on his neck. another standoff between police and protest is. 'd both ends of new york's manhattan bridge temporarily blocked by police off to the 8 pm curfew kicks in the defiant crowds trapped until the brooklyn side of the bridge is reopened but want to avoid coming out well rescue told me i was too forward to come down to the drawing board so your. mom. others to defy new york's curfew marching through the city to protest at the death of george floyd an african-american at the hands of police most were peaceful but there were reports of violence inc

the virus gripped italy, suddenly, silently throttling it. the fire that burned through europe was lit here, exporting cases across the world from brazil to britain. we will get the latest on the situation in northern italy with our correspondent mark lowen. yes, clive, we are just outside the town of codogno, which is the italian epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak. we have been driving around this exclusion zone and the streets have been completely deserted. the police told us earlier that if we went a bit further up this road towards the town we would have to go into quarantine, like the more than 50,000 people across 12 times... people across 12 towns... i covered this story from the beginning. i was in lombardy as the first victims died and towns were sealed off. now i'm back on a journey to meet those who bore witness, grieved and want answers. how was one of europe's richest regions brought to its knees? it feels like a lifetime ago that we were here last, when coronavirus first struck italy, from codogno, the original epicentre. we

at the moment, he can go anywhere in italy -- you can go anywhere in italy. thatsaid, you are assured this is monitored in case there is any need to change the decisions. francine: ambassador, when are you expecting travel from the u.k. to italy to be a bit more normal? so extra roots also for airlines. i don't know if there are any promotions going on. difficult thatw will be and how much domestic tourism will happen in italy. course there is a large part of domestic tourism, especially under the current circumstances. is --urism from the u.k. has historically been one of the main assets for the italian industry, tourist industry. last year, there were about 6 million trips from the u.k. so we want to attract them. se understand that it is not a easy as it used to be. italia --well, era air italia has never stopped working. they are increasing the number of flights and number of destinations. i know that also other airlines are doing the same. we do hope that gradually, we will go back to where we were. as i say, you can go anywhere in italy. you can feel as

italy, you can say it's a small country. that's not an easy thing in italy. there are strong regional differences, but they figured it out and put a national solution in place and we have not. >> i also think, chris, not only is it fractious in a way the united states might not be, the leading political party only has about 25% of the popular vote. so even when it's fractious groups, there are a lot more pieces that are moving. and yet, italians were scared into action in a way that much of the united states was not. i think it's interesting to draw a comparison between new york and italy. new york had a very italy-like experience where people there saw firsthand. it's very different in parts of the united states that were not touched by covid until more recently. and now they're catching up. >> i mean, what is so maddening about this, in some ways the federal government exists to regulate this, the cdc comes in to help states think this through. and there is this just watching people unlearn lessons. as i watch these, and i look at the arizona hospitalizatio

after months of lockdown italy is reopening its borders to travelers from europe to rescue the country's trizin ministry but many visitors are still afraid to come. thank you for joining us demonstrators in the u.s. have taken to the streets for the 8th night in a row many defied curfew was imposed in a number of cities but the protests were relatively calm compared to previous days the demonstrators are demanding an end to racism after a white police officer killed and on armed black man george floyd by kneeling on his neck the mother of floyd's daughter made an emotional appeal to people in the u.s. . a powerful symbol of loss but now without a father. this is what. he goes. through. the day. they get him to be with a family. she on the does not have. found the mother of george floyd's daughter calling for justice. and. because i want justice. i want justice for him because he was good i the frustrated at the lack of accountability around police brutality grows all across the united states dozens of cities saw mostly peaceful demonstrations continue in violation of curfew orders. as lo

that, in italy, is going unquestioned. there is no fight in italy over masks. there is no president or prime minister who is undermining the italian equivalent of tony fauci. and then, i think a third factor, when i spoke with a harvard business school professor who has advised on the italian response, is that the italians went through a much more rigorous lockdown. there was no jogging. there was no bicycling. and as one public health expert put it to me, our version of lockdown is like italy's version of a phased recovery. the united states never got to the point of italy in -- in keeping people home. >> this first point i want -- i want to really focus on, about sort of national policy. because i think this is really the key of where we are as the president's down in arizona. every country that had bad outbreaks had a fairly intensely localized one. china's in wuhan province -- in wuhan, hubei province. and they locked down the whole country. and what your reporting points out and i think this is crucial is they put a national standard of action, across the

because while you have italy, italy with a national debt of 150% of gdp, have the dutch and the danes and the swedes with loads of fiscal headroom. they can do whatever they need to do to managers economic crisis. the italians have no headroom at all. you, as president of the euro group, are on top of a system, which is incoherent such as the deep divergences. we learned the lesson from the past, and we could not afford to have this sanitary crisis to morph into a financial crisis. so we really took the measures, and that is my expectation, that allow us to evolve through the crisis without creating further fragmentation through the crisis without creating furtherfragmentation in through the crisis without creating further fragmentation in the eurozone and in european union. the measures we talk are meant to a specific goal, which is to level the playing field of our political response at a national level. so that it can somehow reduce the symmetries that you are pointing out. we are all going to get out of this crisis with a larger amount of debt, and we needed, we really needed to f

and that is all about divergence, because while you have italy, italy, with a national debt of i60% of gdp, you have the dutch and the danes and the swedes with loads of fiscal headroom. they can do whatever they need to do to manage this economic crisis. the italians have no headroom at all. you, as president of the eurogroup, are on top of a system which is incoherent, such is the deep divergence. we learned a lesson from the past, and we could not afford to have this sanitary crisis to morph into a financial crisis. so we really took the measures that — and that's my expectation — allow us to evolve through the crisis without creating further fragmentation in the eurozone and the european union. the measures we took are meant to a specific goal, which is to level the playing field of our political response at a national level so that we can somehow reduce the asymmetries that you are pointing out. we are all going to get out of this crisis with a larger amount of that, and we needed, we really needed, to find a common instrument in the form in this case of common debt issuance t

but, this weekend, officials in italy already referred to the very strong commitment of italy to put the country in a sustainable path. we have heard promises like that before, minister, and on another level, what if you are wrong? you say this game is going to work because of the economic recovery post covid—i9 will be very quick. what if you are wrong, what if it is not quick and what if the debt mountaing continues to rise? at some point it will be unsustainable? all forecasts point in different directions but if you want a picture, i will give you one. think of this as a long, a very long sunday, and we are about to enter monday. as you know, gdp collapses on sundays for our own pleasure and peak very strongly on mondays when, unfortunately, we have to go back to our offices and factories to work. this is precisely what the... one can only hope the virus recognises the differences between a sunday and a monday, minister! i'm not sure that that is going to work. is this an existential moment for the eu? emmanuel macron warned a few days ago that the collapse of the eu as a polit

what does italy do with this money? right now it's going to be focused on trying to rebuild its economy. it was already stagnant before the epidemic broke out. to contractected between 10% and 12% this year. italy is really focused on trying to revamp its tourism industry and its manufacturing sector. you, youod morning to also note the unemployment rate, but you also focus on youth unemployment at 33%. reignitinges to italy, where should the focus be to deliver these funds, these loans, these grants? should it be on that use side or to the more structurally challenged part, the middle-aged? youth unemployment has been the big issue for several years. as result of various labor reforms, they have contracts that have suffered significantly over the past few years. by revamping sectors including education, tourism to give a boost to use and different places in the economy. annemarie: you noted that recent poll shows 67% of respondents feel that they feel disadvantage being part of the e.u., even the bear about to get thes

but now, let's talk about italy. italy was one of the countries hardest hit by the pandemic. today, it's opening up to international tourists. travellers from eu countries will be able to enter the country without going into a 2—week quarantine. it will also allow travel between the regions, which has so far been tightly restricted. tourism is crucial to italy's economy and employs an estimated 4.2 million people, just under a fifth of the entire official workforce. the tourism sector accounts for 13% of italian gdp. up to 420 million people visited italy annually in the past few years. will visitors return in the same numbers? let's talk this through. michele geraci, is the former undersecretary of state at the italian ministry of economic development. good to have you on the programme. what are your hopes for italy, for tourism this summer for italy, for tourism this summer season? surely, you will see a lot fewer visitors. yes, indeed, because many of the summer indeed, because many of the summer bookings do happen in the springtime, march, april, especially tour operato
