Talks to Form Italian Government Continue

Available for over a year

The coalition may be back on after the populist Five Star Movement has suggested it could compromise over the choice of finance minister. We ask Lorenzo Codogno, former chief economist at the Italian Treasury, if fresh elections are still a possibility. Also in the programme, there can be few things more dramatic than a man returning from the dead. What really happened to Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko in Kiev? Plus, we hear how despite the advent of wearable technology, there's growing demand for traditional Swiss watches. And the tale of a US televangelist who asked his followers to help fund his fourth private jet because Jesus 'wouldn't be riding a donkey'. Roger Hearing is joined throughout the show by Freshdialogue.com's Alison van Diggelen in Silicon Valley and Tripti Lahiri, Hong Kong bureau chief for Quartz.
