Casting a vote to keep himself in power president putin now has the backing of the nation as a result showed his constitutional reforms have been overwhelmingly accepted russians have spent the last week voting on a package of amendments the headlines when you benefits the buried in the text with the mission for president putin to rule until 2036 as the Election Commission reported a landslide victory independent observers accuse the kremlin of cheating i think. I can say this is all for show the majority of violations took place at the preliminary vote among the main violations there was 6 dorchin of the vote scheme of re registering voters at different polling stations and then forced voting at work places or said protesters in St Petersburg braved arrest to voice their concerns while national. The main thing i am against is putin and his henchmen staying in power in russia forever im also angry about this crazy staking place with the amendments to the constitution violation of International Rights and whats happening with the country. Putin on wednesday laid out his vision so we are not just voting for amendments that are laid out in clear legal norms we vote for the country we want to live in with modern education and health care with reliable social protection of citizens with an effective government that is accountable to society we vote for the country we work for and we want to pass it on to our children new rules created for the vote unprecedented exit polls were announced midway and polling stations popped up everywhere from the field to car parks making it impossible to ensure the vote was fair or free from tampering. Putins Approval Ratings are at 59 percent an all time low but analysts say the true figure could be even lower. When we see a drop in support from 90 to 59 percent in north oratory in countries it means that support in society is actually much lower because the numbers are distorted we see putins charisma as a roading ratings are declining but this is not just a company protests so support is weak but there are not so many reasons for the population to rebel. Putin says hes yet to decide on his future but now he has the option crucially will be able to say with the result of this vote he has the blessing of the people.

That it should is a former u. S. Ambassador this ethiopians also professor of International Relations at George Washington University Joins us live from washington d. C. Thanks so much for your time want to ask you about it said that the grievances of the protests because the Prime Minister is a around the himself one of the protest has popped up has about whether one of the Big Questions is who actually killed the d musician this is the match that touched everything off and i think what youre seeing here is a great deal of ethnic underground which has been touched off by this incident and it was probably d leading to some ethnic conflicts that really have nothing to do with the reason for the killing its almost become an excuse to carry out actually either against different factions of the or almost the largest ethnic groups and ethiopia or different ethnic groups against each other and thats why its also d perplexing but i think its more of a question of. The vents itself all of this off. What about the the claims made by the Prime Minister the manager the saying was intent to destabilize the country could it be interference from another country well thats always possible but i doubt it i suspect that whatever is happening in ethiopia today is largely internal but i would i would not rule out the possibility of involvement from outside but if you if you try if you follow that logic im not sure theres any way that you can control what ultimately happens and if youre the outside power who may have tried to do that. It may end up in the direction you dont want it so how fragile would you say the situation is in the faith and then lets say its a very tense for d a couple of years now but the postponement of the election which was to have taken place in august without those 1st further exacerbated the situation. There are ethiopians who would have liked for the election to go forward but the puppet 19 pretty Much Required that the election be postponed thats caused an awful lot of unhappiness in the country and it also has led to some discussion that perhaps the government in power today wanted to postpone the election to maintain itself in power for a while longer but you can make a valid argument that under the current circumstances august is not a good time to have a National Election and coming to the funeral to see how how to handle on says they what kind of arrangements you think they want to put in place for this is there a risk of further violence. Well there definitely is but assume that there will be an enormous amount of security venable for during the funeral in order to try to prevent any violence if the if the dad if the funeral is taking place an embargo which is the home of the center. That may lessen the prospect for violence if its an officer bob that would be a great much greater problem because if youre in the form of this the u. S.

As daily case numbers drop in the u. K. Focus is turning to towns and cities which are bucking the trend new statistics show that 36. 00 areas could be forced to go into local knockdowns because of a rise in cases in baba has more from hounslow in west london which might have to follow the city of leicester which brought back restrictions on monday. Well this part of london hounslow is one of 36 areas across england which according to some reports in the British Press could be in line for a localized lockdown similar to what weve seen in the city of leicester in the midlands but local authorities here and elsewhere of stress that they havent seen a surge and that they were just put on the list because there was an increase in new cases week on week at the end of june whereas whats perhaps more important is the statistics on new cases per 100000 of population now Public Health and parts of the Health Ministry here in the u. K. Have started to release figures for local authorities based not only on what they call pillar one testing which is mainly for people like Health Workers in care workers but also pillar to testing in the Wider Community and thats showing not surprisingly that lester was top of the pack with around 140 cases per 100001 the 21st of june now the Prime Minister Boris Johnson was asked by the leader of the opposition kids starmer why full testing information will pillar to date wasnt given to local authorities in leicester well this is what Boris Johnson replied we did in leicester exactly what we did for instance we speak in kirklees or in bradford or in western superman or other places where very quick to back up those strategies have been put in place for reasons that i think the house would probably understand there were particular problems in leicester in implementing the advice and getting people to understand what was necessary but why does all this matter it matters because the public have already been told that from saturday look down restrictions are easing which means that they could go to the public and start to go to restaurants to hairdressers and so on in places like this the last thing people want to hear is that theyre we going back to more. Severe restrictions so thats why the government really needs to be putting out the message and convincing people that they will be on top of any localized outbreaks so that it doesnt have to be on a city wide or indeed on a barrel wide basis but rather much more localized lockdowns if in fact that is necessary the World Health Organization says the corona Virus Outbreak is still worsening in chile its warned that the peak is not expected until the middle of this month as local infections continue to rise the impact is being felt around the world as it hits the production and the price of 1. 00 of the most in demand metals this in human reports from santander.

As the highest percentage of deaths because the government doesnt want to take the necessary measures because of their impact on the economy such as quarantining the industry except for the minimum services stipulated by the law. The binding industry has in fact sharply reduced refining and halted all smelting in the matter while the government has ordered flights to calamity to be cut by 2 thirds as a result copper production will drop by at least 200000. 00 tonnes this year which impacts prices worldwide. Its no exaggeration to say the copper helps make the world go round it conducts electricity its in our callings in our computers in our mobile phones in every building in every bridge in fact thats even in the face mask what im wearing which is made with copper nano particles but because ironically coppers Antimicrobial Properties are one of the biggest enemies of viruses including covert 19. But that hasnt prevented at least 2000 cases or nearly 3 percent of workers from getting sick according to the Copper Workers Federation calamitous hospitals are being pushed over the edge of the federation is now demanding that the state Copper Company called dell call the Largest Global copper producer hold work to a minimum for 2 weeks to control contagion.

Italian police have conducted the Worlds Largest seizure of illegal amphetamines and say the drugs were produced by eisel in syria around 85000000 pills were found crammed into machinery and cylinders in 3 container ships in salerno they weighed 14 tons in all and were labeled captagon a drug that can inhibit fear and ward off the tee its been used by arsal fighters who are also producing it to earn money if it means would have raked in more than a 1000000000. 00 if sold in europe but drug manufacturing may have been affected by coronavirus lockdowns thats why traffickers could be turning to eisele in syria they daughter is a counterterrorism and organized crime specialist at Global Risk International joins us now from london via skype thanks very much indeed for being with us sir it seems like a very large hole that theyve come across there overall how would you characterize arsenals involvement in the drug trade. I think you said you know correctly that this could be possible logical but when youve got to conceive that is that. This is not the best transaction so to speak you know you know this could be a real core into do you know that you know this law mixtape you know may have been involved in you know because what you know Italian Government may have seen may see as he tried to mend you know for the i. C. C. You know what is going to do these kind of. Business you know it could be a very small country call it but you know what i think is important to note here is that you know terrorist organizations you know will continue to use these kind of their weeks you know to take advantage of the demands for these kind of drunks you know most of them use these drugs as well as you said it was for enhancement due to the kind of threat tearing and nature of the activities so i think you know what is important in all the training and got me you know not just to rely on what hes actually been able to to stop but you look at you know how much you know these drugs have been you know been there you know passed through without being detected. And the suggestions of a possible link with open eyes crime how significant is that. Of course you know there is the crime terror nixs you know terrorism and those issues need to use criminal networks you know to be able to transact you know and response the talian mafia you know could be possibly behind you know some of these movements terrorism is asians do not operate on their own without the help of these kind of organizations weve seen that in Northern Nigeria where guruma does not make state of west Africa Province as engaged so in interest and criminal activities you know as the nigerian and because of that so i think you know these these kind of engagement is not new and weve seen that in afghanistan with the taliban as well so its something which the Italian Government and all the governments really need to Pay Attention and at the moment have a bigger presence i mean the spotlight be off eisel for a while now having a presence to that they have in syria if that is indeed where they said these drugs came from what youve got to understand is that the physical kind of it sort of you know is not what comprises this Islamic State you know theyve not been defeated i do know to county and they have networks that they operate you know in this iow its got networks in africa where you know they need to pay a lot of ransom you know kind of you know you know finance you know the operations within these regions so theres some extent even though if you cut if it you know has been crossed by the u. S. Coalition these 2 have conduct networks that you need to cater for so carried out these kind of organized crime deals is what really you know keeps them alive so theyre soumaya like you know despite the fact that theyve been out of the you know removed from the our struggle in iraq and mosul so i think you still need to have the google war on several that just looks at not just syria but africa as well editor thank you very much indeed for your thought us happy.
