Been highly the 4th is a coalition of independent candidates now the biggest problem in these results is that another which came 1st and hard to tease that which came 2nd made it clear that theyre not going to form a Coalition Government because they are widely considered as an opposing of the political spectrum in tunisia and the likelihood of a political impasse intern is you know is really high there is absolutely no down the voters intent as you continue to send those strong messages of a view to the political establishment into these the occluding to tonight many of the established Political Parties like the heart of tinnies like. Tunis have been severely punished by voters who were they made significant gains in 2014. Completely losing ground with the president the 1st round of president ial election we see weve seen the same pattern which is voters is sitting as you are frustrated with the political elite are choosing outsiders the former. Retired law professor who is now the likely candidate to become president and the man in jail that we will cover we who came 2nd in the president ial election. William lawrence a professor at George WashingtonUniversity Elliott school of International Affairs he joins us from washington d. C. Thank you very much for your time so the lets start with the blow turn out what do you think that says about the state of things in tunisia thats been very misinterpreted because Voter Registration was up by 2 and a half 1000000 votes about 32 percent so actually voters are voting at exactly the same levels as the 2014 election now why did all the new registrants not vote or why were some of the previous registrants not voting that does have to do with some of the issues that youre talking about but voters are voting at the same levels before whats whats most important is what youre commentator was saying that theyre voting for or against the establishment parties against newly formed parties and populist candidates are a surprised at the at the results that are so close. Somewhat surprised i was surprised that neither did so badly theyve gone from 37 to 27 to 17 percent of the vote in the 3 successive parliamentary or constitution some of the elections and thats a significant drop off tunis was found in 3 months ago but it was founded by mr karzai the one in jail who was a Founding Member of needed tunis so to in some sense since need to tunis got nearly 40 percent the last elections and the party derived from them got only 15 percent i dont see that as a huge success i see that as a bit of a failure to and the next parties are unknown so what we have is a fractured and potentially fractious parliaments coming together to try to solve huge problems that the governments facing and im not so sure its going to be that easy with such a variety of opinions that will be in the coalition obviously youre right it wont be easy how who do you see having to take the lead on building some sort of coalition. Well the 2nd part of cause of tuna says they will not cooperate with the new head to party now that could change obviously theyre new and theyre taking a more purist position and after weeks or months of negotiation they may take a different line. But if they stick to their position that means that you would probably have to have 6 or 8 parties or a bunch of independent candidates involved in a coalition and that is really hard to put together that is a lie put together by the nedda party yeah than they had a party of course is no longer causes of islamist they call themselves muslim democrats tunisians are accustomed to their positions and the president ial came at their supporting kai side whos somewhat cooperating with them you know has been coming on the press and saying im not an islamist im us all of this im not this and so the signals are that theyre willing to play by the democratic rules and to and to try to serve the public the problem is is that none of the parties coming into parliament have the type of political experience needed to accomplish things and so the the populations going to continue to have to press those whove been elected to meet all of these demands that the voters youve interviewed are listing are so important to them well and lawrence professor thank you very much for your insight.

U. Average thanks partly to a booming tourism industry. Its a struggle to make ends meet for many and russia average incomes have fallen for the past 5 years and half the population thats about 70000000. 00 people earn less than 550. 00 a month so to get by many families are taking out risky and high cost loans but thats only making their worse off for moscow her step wasnt. 4 weeks anastasio a year die a fact has been receiving threatening phone calls that collectors are telling her they will hurt her child or family if she doesnt pay back her loans she lives in a town 2 hours drive from moscow and the salaries there are so low that she cant afford the rent she was offered loans despite being a single mother without a steady job but with high Interest Rates shes been able to pay them back with his charming im disappointed in myself but its true that these loans are available to everyone and its very bad there are a lot of sad stories i think i managed to do with this emotionally because i have a child and i need to fight for his sake but i heard very tragic stories of people who commit suicide heard a lot of these stories thousands of private companies have opened up in recent years with many offering socalled fast cash on line a recent survey shows that 39 percent of russians believe they only paid about half what they deserve for the work they perform to help people to get better jobs moscow has started a Pilot Project that offers advice training and psychological support to 250000 people who have fallen below the government standard of living.
