Hello, I'm Manuela Saragossa. Welcome to Business Daily from the BBC. Coming up, an overtly

Eurosceptic Italian government is forming in the wings. What does it mean for the European Union? Plus,

it's all about the art of negotiation. So what do business schools teach us about that?

If you have nothing in common with someone, you are unlikely to trust them, as you can't relate to them at all.

Any conflict between you is unlikely to be resolved.

That's all here in Business Daily from the BBC.

What's the greatest threat to the European Union? Brexit, perhaps, in that it showed that

European integration is reversible. Hungary and Poland maybe, with policies there that appear to

undermine the EU's democratic values. Or it could be Italy, where a populist, Eurosceptic government

is forming in the wings as we speak.

It comes at an awkward time for the EU and the Eurozone,

just as member states are looking to reform the single currency block

and ensure it can withstand a future crisis. More on that in just a moment.

First, though, in Italy, the far-right Northern League and leftist five-star movement are in talks to form a new government.

There are two very unlikely bedfellows.

Last night, the two sides announced they needed more time to find common ground.

Here's what Matteo Salvini, the Northern League's leader, had to say.

There's no doubt that Italians voted for us in order to take a message to Brussels and Strasbourg.

I have to unblock the constraints that stop Italy from spending money,

constraints put in place by outsiders.

Either I form a government which will renegotiate these external constraints,

or this new government is a pipe dream. I'm not going to give anyone the run around here.
