Unknown to russia as a college of. Machs 2 decades in office well ask our moscow correspondent what lies behind this thing power. In the footsteps of the fab full report from i read a good 50 years off the beatles created more of the most recognized album covers in Music History. Hellen of a well welcome to you im honored that she. Italy has plunged into a political crisis the far right league party now says it will go ahead with a no confidence motion after calling for snap elections this after its leader interior minister Matteo Salvini announced that the coalition with a populist 5 Star Movement has collapsed while policy differences italys Prime Minister has accused salvini of fabricating a crisis. This is not an election rally but it looks like material salvini is already gearing up for a vote. I do my job with my heart with with pride if i can do it freely until the end i mean if i realize that someone is trying to stop me then the decision must go back to the italian people with no ifs and buts. You decide you and no one else. Salvini is leader of the far right league party currently in coalition with the anti establishment 5 Star Movement but after the 2 parties failed to agree on the financing of a multibillion euro train line something called for fresh elections although he has no power to do so. Italian Prime Ministers reset picante is not a member of either party but he did criticize salvini. Evident that its not up to my tears salvini to convene parliament. Its not up to him to set the timeframe for a political crisis where now other institutional figures will have to step in. On the country it will be after him as a senator a leader of the league. Explained to the nation and the justified in front of the voters who had believed in the promise of change. The reasons why he has decided to disrupt the work of government ahead of time. Coming. But conti has agreed to convene poem and for a vote of confidence in the government as for solving its Coalition Partners fellow deputy Prime Minister luigi the 5 Star Movement says they want to do the job of government then go to the electorate they are more. Likely to end our time in government with some good work which can be done by senators and deputies voting to cut their numbers and saving italians 500000000 euros then everyone can go to the polls. The coalition has only been in existence for 14 months in that time south unis lake party has doubled in popularity close watches of italian politics will be wondering if that has more to do with the timing of his demands than any internal bickering. And for the very latest lets go straight to room and to journalist a jew yes how daily nigeria critics are saying that much you salvini has manufactured this political crisis now hes currently very high in opinion polls in the country why is he so popular. Well so gainey has been writing in popularity over the last year and that has allowed him to basically have free reign within his government now polls now project him if elections were to take place now actually getting up to 37 percent of the votes and that is a 20 percent increase on what his party that gained in elections in 1. 00 to 20000. 00 that is a huge increase and he is basically taking the spot of the 5 Star Movement which was the 1st party back then and has receded to 3rd party so the tables have completely turned now also b. D. Has become the prime anti establishment figure within the italian political spectrum and that has the most huge popularity he has also used a very aggressive communication strategy he has portrayed himself as a very strong leader but at the same time as someone who is just a normal citizen drizzling to the beach eating his message out in news and that really does appeal to you telling people so how serious is the crisis in the government is it really heading for elections at the moment the crisis seems to be quite significant and elections are looking likely. And the man youre also the head of the 5 Star Movement have been going for attention through the last few months and it appears that some he has decided to escalate the crisis with this important vote on the training infrastructure it only now serving the staff of the Prime Ministers at the quantity resigned the think the issue is now going to help the parliament which will have to vote no confidence votes and probably go to elections. Barely indra thank you very much and this is going to perspective from brussels ahmad joined by our cars fine bentley good but how are these developments in italy being viewed by the European Union. Thats something italy is never good news for europe of cause italy is the 3rd biggest economy in the eurozone and italys economy is not going well and the debt is much too high theres a lingering budget dro with the commission and on the other hand. Is perceived as a dangerous man by many european politicians here in brussels because he said gifted writing populist and he wants to deconstruct the e. U. He wants a river aleutian in the European Union and of course he is against any resolution of the migration issue in europe but he also has friends in europe hungary and the pows and also the doj land on the side of Matteo Savini said will be very interesting to watch how this plays out for European Union in the full band he gets in brussels thank you very much.

It was 20 years ago today that president Vladimir Putin came to power at the time he was a relatively unknown figure he was singled out by post soviet leader Boris Yeltsin no one knew back then that he would have an iron grip on the country for the next 2 decades and putin one public support by his military successes including cracking down on separatists in chechnya and during his 1st presidency the economy grew for street a. T. s now playing on his hard man image he won a series of election victories his current run for another 5 yes in 2014 he was widely can do. And internationally for russias annexation of the crimea since then sacking shins and fully oil prices have squeezed the russian economy now relations with the United States and donald trump are also tense both sides recently walked away from a key Nuclear Missile treaty raising fears of a new arms race despite a solid support at home opposition to putin is growing always authoritarian repression of political opponents down to look a bloody report and im joined by didnt raise any shelburne from our Moscow Bureau welcome emily now so i think putin became president at a time of great political turbulence in both soviet russia did people back then think he would still be here today 20 years later. Well when he was appointed Prime Minister he was basically an unknown on the political scene in russia in fact so much so that when he became president just a few later a few months later excuse me one american journalist famously asked who is mr putin but he always represented a contrast to the former president Boris Yeltsin who was kind of known as a bit of a drunk putin was young report represented a new face always emphasize that he didnt drink and he has come to represent stability here you have to remember that he came to power just after the ninetys which was a time of huge social and economic upheaval and even chaos here in russia after the fall of the soviet union and for Many Russians it really represents a kind of trauma that they have been struggling to get over for the last for the last 20 years while he has been in power he came to power to Rising Oil Prices so that brought an economic upturn and Many Russians see him as really having as they say raised russia from its knees and hes come to represent the restoration of of kind of dignity and a sense of National Pride here in russia and that seems to have been one of his key goals as president to distil the building of russia in the soviet eva how has this good shift to Foreign Policy do you think emily. I think its been very fundamental to shaping his Foreign Policy kind of presenting russia after having having that loss of dignity of the fall of the soviet union kind of restoring russias great power status has been his main goal when it comes to International Policy when he 1st came to power in the early 2000 he really tried to kind of build good relations with the west he was the 1st leader for example who expressed his condolences to george w. Bush after 911 in 2001 but there is a perception here among observers that he kind of was knocking on closed doors when it comes to the west and that in a way that has also defined the way russias Foreign Policy has often been to science towards the west including for example with the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula in 2014 which was condemned broadly in the International Community even though it has been very popular here in russia and i think letting your putin has in many ways successfully managed to get a seat at the table for russia when it comes to the International Stage when we look at the crisis in syria when we look at kind of its attempt to putins attempt to be a mediator in the middle east and in the denuclearize ation of the Korean Peninsula as well i think his main goal is to present russia as an important world power and hes been pushing for that for the last 20 years and he might you know restored russias National Pride but hes a little just politicians whose more popular tool then hes overseas explain his of p. D. To the people of russia. Well yes he has been hugely popular throughout his career even though newest polls show that trust and what do you put in is actually at an all time low at the moment of just just over 30 percent we spoke to some russians here in moscow to find out what they think of him 20 years after he came on to the political scene lets take a look. Theres never been a tradition in russia the power voluntarily 1st several hundreds of years ours ruled until this year so the traditions are. New. And since we have jobs. Trees on the rise. I quite like. Saying as of today i dont see a fit replacement for. Well putins image really here in russia and putins popularity has been based on this idea of stability of restoring order of restoring National Pride but weve seen that recent economic stagnation does seem to be de king a bite out of his popularity there have been protests across the country in recent months and kind of in the past year after the unpopular pensions reform as well and also against planned garbage dumps for example in the north of the country and there have been these recent protests for the last month or so in moscow for the registration of independent candidates to the moscow duma elections there does seem to be a growing sense of dissatisfaction here in russia especially with the Economic Situation and putin in the last few months and even since the beginning of his last term has kind of been trying to shift his focus away from the International Stage to really get to grips with those domestic issues. That was do you use emily showing from moscow assessing a 20. Year watching d. W. News coming up ahead recreating one of the news richard nice album combos in Music History the report from abbey road 50 years off the beatles 1st top traffic there. But 1st when its over the hugely damaging Environmental Impact of Single Use Plastics is growing things like schools and still are is an increasingly being banned around the was and for those who dont want to go without them this is a renewable tuna to have from uganda. Going back to their roots these young your gums and to find a way of making money from a free not to resource and protecting the environment. Started his business 4 months ago with just 50 euros. He only had to remember the wisdom of his grandparents these straws long ago artist as used for drinking the local booze. In uganda. Is this true as we used to they used to get them from. And other places so we saw that it would be a great opportunity for us to buy single use Plastic Straws are we plant based ones. The production process is simple after cutting the said grass is trimmed to the right length. After that its washed and sterilized in boiling water. The natural straws are then dried outside in the sun. The process makes them ready to use and reuse entry use today the Small Company employs 13 people. Already has 8 regular clients buying his 100 percent organic product they include up and coming restaurants in the capital kampala. Weve been seeing a lot of Plastic Waste pile up actually in our restaurant among others and really in plastic containers with straws and this is one of the forefront items which we see in a glass in front of a client every day and really its because this is a really great way to start. Plastic straws need 200 years to decompose so customers here and welcoming the natural alternative. This is the 1st table to get the point is that the this is that there must be there are very few well fed oh dips and that is the way they feel like you can clean them. And i mean its nature. Has its sights set high for his business he wants to see plastic straw usage in uganda drop by almost half in the next 5 years. Shares in buying have sold on reports the German Companies offer to be 8000000000. 00 to settle thousands of lawsuits the legal cases relate to the doctor say to base to be to kill a round up need by simply duty month until some of the came in say the chemical gave them can sell the bias is theres no evidence of a link with the disease the companies talk to those but as much as 11 percent during early trading. And for more on this story guess how the fs from on business desk joins me and welcome how significant is this for bias well actually it is very significant is this a bit of spin hang it over by a for a year now and you can see how significant it was by the fact that investors thought it was quite significant shares were up like 11 percent at times today at the county theyre around a 3 percent up and it takes the pressure off of an obama to see off by a he has been under fire tremendously for buying this company and not for seeing this massive wave of lawsuits coming by as way but 8 1000000000. 00 sounds like a lot of money it still is but its very reasonable if it if you put it into perspective this tool the figures id like to give you this mark might buy a lost market value of 34000000000. 00 in market value so 8000000000. 00 doesnt sound so much anymore and secondly with this wave of trials 18000. 00 lawsuits filed against by in the us where juries tend to give david. David against goliath cases to give david davids huge pails and just one more figure the last. Payout that was given to. A plaintiff was 2000000000. 00 to a couple in california and if you divide 88. 00 there divide 8000000000. 00 5800000 you end up at 443000 dollars per plaintive so that i think these figures put into perspective is actually quite a reasonable deal for via oh good thank you thank you very much. For that explanation and information. Tourism is a huge moneymaker one of the but its coming at an ever increasing cost to the environment and some countries have begun to take action including indonesia the country is considering shutting down part of the National Park next year to help save its famous and endangered inhabitants the mighty Komodo Dragon. Welcome to Komodo Island part of the komodo National Park and home of the Worlds Largest lizard the Komodo Dragon. Wellcome for now because the island could be off limits to tourists from the start of next year to get the dragon and the island ecosystem some much needed time to recover. Komodo dragons must be saved and preserved because theres only one come out a dragon in the world i always joke that even in heaven there are no Komodo Dragons they exist only here in komodo National Park before the main principle is how can we preserve the Komodo Dragon in its natural habitat. The Komodo Dragon is the 1st predator it grows up to 3 metres long and can bring down a water buffalo with its strong limbs and separated teeth which deliver a venomous bite its the perfect tourist attraction every month 10000 visitors make the long journey to this remote part of indonesia to lay their eyes on the red reptile its the only place in the world where the Komodo Dragon is found in the wild. For conservationist thats too many people they say mass tourism interferes with the dragons natural habitat and it increases the very real risk of poaching police in east java fault an attempt to smuggle 41 Komodo Dragons earlier this year. Its about conservation so that the habitat of the Komodo Dragon will return to water. Conservation and dance is our goal was a classy komodo National Park will not be closed entirely but the closure is only limited to Komodo Island there are still many other beautiful islands in the National Park by. So i got into. The local government says the temporary closure of Komodo Island would be an opportunity to plant more trees and give all animals a chance to recover. Afterwards high entrance fees and a limited tourist permits could become a reality angering some residents who depend on the giant lizards for their livelihood. But indonesias authorities are clear committed island needs a break from simmons. And. Tennis momentum leading into the u. S.
