Southeast australia celebrates its downfall bring some relief from the bushfires crisis but now forecasts of predicting possible flooding is this the new normal of Climate Change the scientists will. Not predict with so vis a vis. The designator feel if you drop out from mozambique as a guy who confronts the powerful no matter how much they try to satisfy. The. Im frugal welcome to the program. Russian president Vladimir Putin has a new Prime Minister lawmakers in the lower house of parliament voted overwhelmingly in favor of his choice mikhail mistrusting who was head of the federal tax service it comes just a day after the surprise resignation of former Prime MinisterDmitry Medvedev and his entire cabinet confirmation follows president putin state of the nation address which he called for political reforms that people are speculating could set him up as leader for life. Hes little known even within russia now. Formally the head of the countrys tax service has become russias Prime Minister so lawmakers overwhelmingly backed russian president Vladimir Putins candidate for the job to no ones surprise addressing the duma misused and promised change. The president has stressed several times people should already now be feeling real changes for the better so far this is happening far from everywhere. Its a rapid rise for the career bureaucrat elevated to the countrys number 2 position less than 24 hours after russias government resigned that paves the way for put in its newly announced sweeping constitutional changes there are mixed reactions over whether the political shake up will make any difference because theres a car to stay after the political system was stagnant people want something new now a new decision some kind of renewal i think president putin made the right decision when he shook everything up. You know yup i dont know but i trust putin to make the right decisions good on him he would have to stop these many of the i doubt anything will change. Maybe in more civilized countries or states when this kind of thing happens people expect change and for things to get back. To the noise here. Are sort of moses critics say misused in is merely a placeholder for putin who they believe has no intention of relinquishing power when his president ial term ends in 2024 but russias political elites are still pondering what role putin has in mind for himself. Straight to moscow they were joined corresponds to emily show would welcome emily so why is my. Initial state law to be a proteins pick. Well misha sin is largely unknown in russia as well so in some ways his appointment came as a bit of a surprise but he has spent many many years in Government Service and as had of the head of the tax office or 80 he has become known for being an efficient manager he did utilize the tax service as well so perhaps clinton just wanted to appoint someone who would get the job done particularly when it comes to internal politics putin in recent years has focused much more on International Politics and has kind of relegated the role of managing russia itself to the Prime Minister and also he represents kind of this drive for modernization but without presenting any real political change and the fact that hes an unknown means that hes not a threat to put to putin in any way people wont think that he could be a successor so what about 24 hours into this political shakeup the president announced yesterday everyone is wondering whats the up to what youre trying to achieve. Well when it comes to this political shakeup it was a kind of major move from putin yesterday he announced sweeping changes when it comes to the constitution he proposed them at least he wants to expand the powers of the parliament and weaken the president thats one of the changes and on the one hand theres a sense that perhaps putin is giving people here in russia the change that they want or at least a sense of the change that they want there was a very much a sense here of russia kind of stagnating of nothing really changing among people here but on the other hand i think the main reason that observers are citing is that putin wants to pave the way for his own political future and in the speech that he made yesterday in those proposed constitutional changes he opened up a lot of possible political roles for himself he cant serve as president anymore after his current terms and term ends in 2024 so we may see him kind of creating a new role for himself in the russian political scene im sure when in moscow thank you. That appears to be movement and ongoing diplomatic efforts to secure a cease fire in libyas civil war germanys foreign minister why come as announced thats rebel leader general before half time was agreed to abide by a ceasefire i dont have to offer such weve made the comments to the meeting with the foreign minister in benghazi. And he has agreed to attend sundays International Meeting on the media crisis in berlin earlier this week he refused to sign a cease fire deal during the talks in moscow. To get more on this from a Political Correspondent simon young welcome simon why is this announcement coming from germanys foreign ministry. You will feel germanys role in this is as peace broker as you say berlin is organizing a Big International conference here on sunday and germanys relatively neutral in this conflict unlike some of the other e. U. Countries so it believes it can use the power of diplomacy to bring peace to libya or at least start that process having said that German Foreign minister heiko moss went to benghazi today with relatively little fanfare and downplaying expectations the man had 3 hours of talks and heres what high tomas said after that quoting him he has pledged to a boy thats general have to by the cease fire regardless of the fact that he did not sign the cease fire agreement in moscow earlier this week this is extremely important so a breakthrough as far as the german side sees it and is the credible do people believe that this ceasefire will actually happened. Yeah well thats thats beyond my ken at this at this stage from this Vantage Point but obviously theres an awful lot of hopes resting on this because libya is a country that strategically very important from the european point of view as a conduit country for migration but also as a source of oil and of course its become something of a strategic football in recent months this war ravaged country and if this is to be believed the announcement in particular that general have to or is coming to the berlin summit at the weekend that will be extremely important because the head of the internationally recognized unity government in tripoli. Is. Certify as a as a raja excuse me he has said hes confirmed that he is coming to the conference as well so that means you have the 2 warring the heads of the 2 warring factions present and of course that raises the possibility that there could be some breakthrough towards peace so people must have been very pleased that hes now agreed to a meeting about a war in his country that was that was set up without him yeah thats right i mean hes been i think hes been in contact all the time but the thing is that general haftorah is holding all the cards really his forces control most of libyan territory where is the internationally recognized government only really controls the capital tripoli general have to has important backers like russia saudi arabia and even france so he may feel that hes still got some cards to play in this conflict but if hes sitting around the peace table thats got to be a good sign Political Correspondent time and young thank you. A look now at some of the other stories in the news dozens of people have died during intense fighting between progovernment troops and jihadi is led forces in the syrian city of it lived opposition groups a government astronauts on a market on wednesday also killed at least 14 civilians thats despite a truce brokered by russia and turkey. Police and protesters have clashed in the lebanese capital beirut for a 2nd night of violence began after a crowd gathered at a Police Station to demand the protests they release of protesters taken into custody the previous day. Posters of the french governments Pension Reforms are back out on the streets of several french cities including paris and must say. I call from trade unions to come out in support of public transport workers are on strike over the Pension Plans of the strikes in its 43rd day the countrys longest running public transport stoppage. Germanys parliament has rejected controversial legislation aimed at helping people who need Organ Donations the new law would have assumed that people agreed to have their organs transplanted after death unless theyd signed a declaration saying otherwise the German Government is looking for ways to increase the supply of organ donors because the country has europes lowest a donation right. Function is job as a Business Consultant kept him on the road but then he was diagnosed with genetic lung disease he fought to stay healthy as long as he could but it became clear his health depended on getting a donated long time asked. Please its that when i 1st spoke to the doctors and they told me i needed a Lung Transplant if i was shot a month. Its my lung and i would have preferred to live the rest of my life with my own long ago. Having someone elses land was a concept he would have to get used to. Or just a few more examinations than his name could go on the waiting list for dawna like function there are around 1500 people in germany who are waiting for lifesaving organs to be donated and many of them have been waiting for years. Does but the problem is dramatic in all of Europe Germany has the lowest number of organ donors the longest waiting lists and the highest number of patients whose lives are in danger if they do not receive an Organ Donation or. Oddly this is the case even though more than 80 percent of germans a positive about Organ Donations according to doctors one problem is that death and Organ Donation are in many families people simply dont talk about it and if its not clear what the deceased would have wanted most relatives decided against Organ Donation or even one of patients wants to donate an organ often the donation doesnt take place so organs cannot be transplanted and presents on the waiting list. That was the case 900 times in 2018. We spoke with. Lots of back about these moves. So its a lot about he failed to get a majority in parliament for a turnaround in organ donor policy why do you think it failed unfortunately is the debate turned around into the directions of we were concerned about lets. Infringe on the rights for those who. Donate and we did not really put enough emphasis on the rights and also the hopes the opportunities for those who wait for guns so i think we basically its a wrong priority so those people are dying on the waiting list every day see people people die on the waiting list every day we have tens of thousands of germans waiting for guns we have certain laws Organ Transplantation rate in europe and with what we decided today we will not change so our singh said to be discussed too much about lets see. Autonomy of the know the nation which means that i. Decide not to state my position at all but then still expect to get an organ if i need it said in my opinion is another really really forceful position but the position want to day to day source people one of the opinions are this your right to never say yes or no to Organ Donation but still expect an organ in case you needed for yourself or your here so no policy turn around but the law that did go through and achieve a majority now pledges to double up efforts for the state to get people to think about this issue why do you think thats on that log change literally nothing literally nothing that is a law is that. It depends on people changing their minds while get a passport i dont know of anyone who reconsiders his position about Organ Transplantation gets a passport. May be making a visit to one of the public offices so in that sense this is in my opinion at least i hope im wrong but in my opinion this is a lost opportunity its a lot about thank you very much. Now to australia where rain a to eventual downpour no less was brought relief to the southeast of the country after weeks of bush fires raged out of control australians have been celebrating over over the fire service says the downforce will not put out over the blazes but the fires warning that severe thunderstorms and brains could trigger flash flooding this swing from want to extreme to another comes as scientists predict that more extreme weather events are unlikely after the warmest decade on record experts have also calculated the effect australias massive bushfires will have on the Global Climate a thick haze blankets New South Wales has exhausted crews continue to battle the wildfires there the vast cloud of smoke already extends across the pacific past south america but an invisible product of the flames could have a bigger long term impact on Global Warming the blazes are releasing vast amounts of c o 2 authorities at the un say the problem is twofold fires emit Carbon Dioxide and obviously they burn up those very forests which are so vital for acting as carbon sinks and its all been Carbon Dioxide the Australian Government estimates the country currently amends around 560000000. 00 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide annually now experts say that in the last few months alone the out of control fires have pumped an additional 400000000. 00 tonnes of c o 2 into the atmosphere in the past scientists have generally viewed wildfires as Carbon Neutral and believed fresh plant growth eventually absorb the c o 2 emitted by burning forests but changes in precipitation patterns and drought are affecting how quickly some woodlands regenerate and many researchers are worried that in a vicious circle wildfires like those in australia could make Climate Change happen even faster. You know lets take a close look at that vicious circle with i just niranjan from details of environment to welcome to the studio so explain to us how australias super intense forest fire has all going to affect the Global Climate yes i mean its quite well known that it is already partially triggered by Climate Change the thing the red the hotter and the more dry fuels to be done what maybe is less well known as the oldest smoke thats kind of billowing out from these forests and this trouble bush in. I think scientists recently said last week that for at least 400000000 tonnes of Carbon Dioxide and i put that perspective australia which person is one of the biggest siri to mit as in the world name is about 540000000000. 00 tons last year so i would talking about almost like to think of its yearly admission have already been put out of the last few months by the fire as what that means is that this smoke the saratoga goes up into the atmosphere and it affects the whole whoa thats not a problem thats local to australia so we have problems causing problems causing problems wow just give us an idea of how people day to day are being affected by this what we see what the fire does whats the smoke doing so is affecting every aspect of life from people on the ground living in australia youve seen things like the tennis open the sports not just being come forward because athletes can actually cope with the with the smoke in the attic on the phone probably and on a maybe much more so every day the code youve got people struggling to even breathe because my people with asimo other respiratory illnesses are really strongly affected by this. And whats also maybe point to remember is. We have a pretty good scientists have a pretty good idea of what smoke and pollution evolution does to your life but in australia with these sorts of wildfires becoming increasingly common and ever strong as a result of Climate Change we dont know what long term effects of this will actually be on Peoples Health ok but the good news is southeast in australia now hit by heavy rainfall hopefully helping with the fires and washing the smoke out of the out of the at is it all good news. Now for the remember as in this case i think the fight is many of them are very grateful to have a reprieve i mean theyve been battling with a month and a bit of rain. In a lot of rain in some cases can really really helped extinguish fires and reduce the risk of further spreading the problem is a very infirm area the scale of the rainfall and these storms is really really drastic and that means that you can lead to mudslides it can lead to a lot of fires theres fear i think the debris from the fires could get washed by rains and the reservoir the waterways. Theres no old news i guess you know ok we have to be careful what we wish will. Niranjan from t. W.
