BBC World Service - Newshour, Could Italian Debt Cause EU Financial Crisis?

Italy populist coalition government set to clash with Brussels over plans to spend

Italy's populist government, already indebted, plans to spend more to fulfil its campaign promises. But this has incurred the displeasure of Brussels.

Also in the programme: President Trump threatens to cut aid to countries that fail to stop Central American migrants reaching the US southern border. And a Turkish paper claims phone calls were made from the Saudi consulate in Istanbul to the office of the Saudi Crown Prince during the "interrogation" of Jamal Khashoggi.
