Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has suffered her first major setback with a bruising referendum result. 

Voters emphatically rejected the judicial reform, which proposed separating the careers of judges and public prosecutors, and splitting the magistrates’ self-governing body into two sections.  

Italy Correspondent Jo McKenna told Mike Hosking the reforms were a bit muddy, and looked like a grab for power by the Meloni Government. 

She says many Italians didn’t want the constitution to be touched in the first place, and on top of that, there’s a lot of disillusionment about Meloni’s close relationship with Donald Trump, particularly among young people.
