Country in december a prime minister. Got his Court Reforms through the lower house of parliament where his lord Justice Party has a majority thats attracted strong warnings from the European Union about the separation of powers and rebuttals by lord justice every member state has its right to decide about the judiciary system some part of the judiciary system wanted to question the right of other judges to work we cannot allow that because this protest very Justice System in the culture of the countries independent ombudsman the possible implications a serious 1st was this month when the independence of the of the trial court and right now we are much further and the concert hall called is not an organ that could provide a proper judicial review of that kind of legislation so so different barriers have been eliminated before and now they are used to suppress freedom they are used to suppress judges many judges here in poland have already face disciplinary measures because of their activism but theyre not prepared to stop their campaign to inform the public and to oppose the new legislation the build may well be rejected by Parliament Upper house next week but the tussle between the politicians and the judges is far from over the aljazeera warsaw. Haitis president is calling for an overhaul of what he calls a deeply flawed International Aid system haitis marking 10 years since the devastating earthquake that saw hundreds of thousands killed every symbol spoke to president in the capital port au prince. My 1st question is its been 10 years since horrific earthquake devastated this country. Millions of dollars were pledged to help haiti. What has been achieved in all this years is true president usually i am the president of the country i can tell you where in the country or in the surrounding of the capital city any village built with the aid money from the earthquake that can fit a 1000 families in terms of results there has not been any reconstruction process for the country i am someone who believes in the structural the long lasting the sustainable there has been many small achievements but small achievements are made with little amount of money but when you want to talk about major achievements you have to have access to large amounts of money he to spend billions to do a lot of people are still in temporary settlements leaving him intense some of them theres a Health Care CrisisFood Insecurity is on the rise tense here later i mean whose fault is it is it the International Community is it the haitian government whos to blame. Both both of them for me to has been the disaster the way the aid money has been managed after the earthquake and it is what were paying for 10 years later im not saying this to blame anyone but im here to say the truth and only the truth the results are visible a lot of money a lot of money has been spent but the results have been minimal would you one of the issues that has come up is that in many cases the International Community completely bypassed the haitian government Haitian Civil Society and they wanted to spend the money themselves do you agree with this message that you know reality has been the reality in 2010 lets be clear that were talking about 2010 now not about the actual period were talking about the time of 22. 00 it was clear it was the reality they stopped to structure to spend money and now with inherited that everyone must be able to understand that there has been mistakes and all together we need to correct these mistakes.
