Praying for the people of Hong Kong. Have students who have or are living there. A very modern western city. They certainly do NOT see themselves as Chinese.

Giulio Occhionero ‏

Italian Government headed by @GiuseppeConteIT is apparently baked. With one little clause: he is the one with "delegation for intelligence" and so he is the very one who "knows" what happened (or, is happening) in that circle.

..2h... I wanted to check with you first. Did Conte just resign?

Giulio Occhionero ‏ ..1h...... He will shortly go to Quirinale to resign. At least this is what he declared.

wow Giulio....... Got the champagne ready?

e quindi si spiega perchè si era tenuto le deleghe che prima erano di Gentiloni e di Renzi. Ed ecco perchè vuole restare in quel posto. Aveva ragione Cossiga.....

and therefore explains why the proxies that had previously been held by Gentiloni and Renzi were kept. And that's why he wants to stay in that place. Cossiga was right .....

Look what just popped up.

The government’s actions “terminate here,” Conte said, laying the blame for the collapse of the coalition squarely with Salvini and his personal agenda.

Moments later he said he would go to president Mattarella to resign.

The end of the government was largely expected after Salvini pulled his support from the governing alliance with the anti-establishment Five Star Movement earlier in August, saying the coalition no longer has a working majority and setting the stage for a government headed unilaterally by Salvini. The 46-year-old anti-immigration hardliner has been seeking to cash in on his soaring poll ratings and as Bloomberg notes, upended the political establishment with a mid-summer power grab while parliament was in recess.

What happens next will have major implications on Italy’s mountain of public debt which has become the weakest link for Europe's financial system. One year ago, the ECB effectively threatened to boycott Italian debt as part of its QE sending it plunging. Now that Salvini is set to be Italy's leader, and the ECB set to restart QE, the question whether Rome will be isolated will once again become front and center, especially with even more debt on tap: on Tuesday, Salvini promised Italians €50 billion of tax cuts and public spending if he can take control of the government.

..part of article.
