Hello, I'm Jerry Smit with the BBC News.
Minority rights groups in Italy have fiercely criticized the decision by the country's new far-right Interior Minister to count a potentially deport members of the Roma community. Matteo Salvini made the comments on Monday. James Reynolds reports from Rome. Matteo Salvini has never made any secret of his distaste for the Roma community. Now that he is in government, he wants to find out how many Roma are living in the country and where they come from. Mr. Salvini told a TV channel that Roma with Italian citizenship would unfortunately be allowed to stay in the country. Others would be deported and children who are not in school will be taken into care. One minority rights organization says that a census based on ethnic origin would be illegal. China's Foreign Ministry has urged the United States to end what it described as its damaging words and deeds, after Mr. Trump complained that Beijing appear to have no intention of changing what it called its unfair practices in response to previously announced US tariffs.
