Italy's Populists Defiant Over EU

BBC World Service - Newshour, Italy's Populists Defiant Over EU

An economist has been asked to form a government after populist parties' attempt fails

Italian President Sergio Mattarella has asked an ex-IMF economist to form a government. Carlo Cottarelli's appointment came after efforts by Italy's two populist parties to form a coalition government collapsed. We hear reaction from Brussels and from an MP for the anti-establishment Five Star Movement.

Also in the programme: the South African rugby squad gets its first black test captain; and new insights into the moods of captive dolphins.
