Giorgia Meloni to form government in Italy

Newshour - A podcast by BBC World Service

Italy's far-right leader Giorgia Meloni has formally accepted the job of forming the next government at the head of the country's most right-wing administration since World War Two. We ask whether the coalition will hold and speak to an MP from her Brothers of Italy party. Also in the programme: is there a new chance to heal old wounds from Spain's traumatic civil war history? And the US actor Paul Newman’s daughter remembers her father.
