From moscow news headquarters where its just past 4 in the morning youre watching International Welcome to the program. Russia has a new Prime Minister lawmakers approved the candidacy of Mikhail Misha stood on thursday with president putin then signing off on the appointment and it has got more on how the day unfolded. Well it only took this country what was it slightly more than 24 hours to come from the point when the president proposed to tweak some elements of russias constitution which by the way didnt automatically mean that the cabinet would have to step down to a moving towards the point when the russian state duma approved the name of the countrys new Prime Minister that is mikhail so the result was 383. 00 votes in favor about 40 abstentions and 0 votes again so this is the kind of backing the incoming Prime Minister is getting which is very important obviously in his position and clearly we were listening to his speech right before the vote which was obviously filled with quite a few promises so here are some of them. Used to produce them i can do that too i like to ensure you that all members of the new government carry personal responsibility for achieving National Goals i know that some talks in this room can even an intensive and i believe its very important that the government feels that it would always be question to monitor that remains open and constructive critics help us improve and do the members of Parliament Give us regional feedback you know what they think what people talk about how this sense the situations and whether they think that there are changes needed for the past. Just to look at the background of mr mr stan a little bit i can tell you that he was in charge of the Russian Federal Tax Authority for about a decade he rarely appeared on t. V. So when on wednesday the now former Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev i can tell you that theres really no other way to put it shocked the country shocked the world by saying that his government was stepping down only a few hours after the russian leader delivered his annual state of the nation address pundits were calling out different names and i can tell you that in most cases wasnt even on the list but then again boom the name the helm issues didnt came out of the kremlin so you cant help wondering what are the reasons for this appointment why so much trust well i can tell you that the new Prime Minister while he was working in the federal Tax Authority managed to accomplish a mission that seemed absolutely impossible at one point to get rid of a very painful state of bureaucracy and russias taxes i can tell you that previously to pay taxes or to deal with some problems russians have to stand in line fill out hundreds of papers they say that at this point now it can all be done through smartphones or tablets p. C. s you name it. What then a matter of minutes and people say that this is really the achievement of me and in fact spoke to our t. A few years ago about exactly that about the digital izing the paper work in russia and how its important for the development of the country he was talking about the Younger Generation that will shape out the future of the nation its important that the young generation form of course future taxpayers to morrow use the friendly user interface which is suitable for the as we know the research is showing us the young generation now not using p. C. Computers so the mobile phones mobile applications and then social networks so basically we should exit the streets. To calm we should come to the such is social networks and make sure that its a friendly interface for them so basically this is the maybe main reason why we collaborate can be the commissioners to make sure that to be so recent kotex peers because between service and confuse call part of the administration servicing part this no more and more coming clearly there will be something for d the audience outside this country to point out russias new pm is fluent in english that is something that we hadnt seen for a very long while now before the vote in the Upper Chamber of the Russian Parliament began i managed to catch up with some of russias most senior lawmakers and i asked them why they are about to support the candidacy of me. Was thinking about efficiency. If you look at the different ministries in russia the tax collection is one of the biggest it is all. He knows everything about every payment officially made in. Russian. Created the most. Useful usable. Electronic government it has a ph d. In economics he writes books on economics here rates textbooks he teaches there is a Financial University in moscow also hears an intellectual. Very more than an intellectual of more than a bureaucrat who can. Have a very systematic view on issues because heres actuals fish elative. Which he got at the university was systems and functional the systems so. I think its a good choice. I think a very quick. Reminder you know which i think its also important for a politician. Misused in developed an efficient tax service if you one of the most efficient apartments in the country hes a strong leader tax Service Management is being done correctly both in terms of leadership im cutting edge technology. But for the 1st time the Prime Minister has craven business and. Hes showing that with his work on the type of service 330. 00 and if you polishes are ministries in the same way its not Bush National income and streamline expenditure he is an engineer most of maturing strong accurate in the sciences and Innovative Technology ideas that politically hes neither left nor right as you nor centrist we really have a specialist coming into our over another major shake up in russian politics this week was the resignation of the government and that came about following that im a puritan suggesting of amendments to the constitution effectively diminishing the president s powers while boosting those of parliament. Well. But it was and were sure to the amendments i suggested yesterday do not affect the fundamental basis of the constitution furthering russias development as a lawful state the goal is also to enhance the effectiveness of the countrys institutions to strengthen the role of Civil Society and to enable the Political Parties in our regions to make decisions vital to the countrys Development Senior correspondent merde garcia explains more about the landmark moves and the reaction they received in the west. Try explaining this led to boom and power as the office of president the media accuses about seizing more power who control over russia but when putin gives up that power and hands it over at the parliament at his own expense it is also because he seizing more control over russia 1st to discover this syndrome i name it paranoid putin a friend here and theres a real epidemic. Paranoid putin a friendly aside he is what he actually proposed to guaranteed that no president ever wields as much power as he did including putin himself hes got 4 more years in office. This is unprecedented in a quarter of a century every constitutional amendment was designed to empower the president for example increase the president ial term for 4 years to 6 years or give the president the power to appoint prosecutors and now he turns it all upside down it used to be that hooten appointed the problem. This Ministers Parliament rubber stamp that now parliament appoints heads of government and putin rubber stamp set with no power object. According to the constitution of the Russian Federation president needs only the state dumas consent to make official appointments the president appoints the cabinet his deputies and all the ministers i propose shifting this power to the state duma and also the approval of the russian governments chairman and that the german suggestion all the deputy Prime Ministers and federal ministers will have to be appointed by the president with the right to reject any candidates yes this is of course all subject to a popular vote if these passes russia will be a changed country with a very different future russia is changing into a new face of democracy. And now this 1st. Time when the president limits his old power this is something in the later control the country is not known at all the president limits its all the more and once you let the people decide on the new constitution. To pave the way the government handed in its resignation its worth mentioning it wasnt all that popular that failed at a number of fronts and there diff the now caretaker Prime Minister said himself its time for something new you have all heard the address of the russian president Vladimir Putin as president he outlined the major priorities of our work for the upcoming year but he also outlined a number of fundamental changes to the constitution of the Russian Federation these changes when they take place and this will be done after discussions and as was said they will significantly alter a number of parts of the constitution and change the balance of power if theres one thing we know about putin its that we dont. You know him he loves to surprise and there was no warning not even rule is that the country was about to be turned on its head we now have a new Prime Minister we heil michoud in an unknown quantity hes largely stayed out of the spotlight for the past decade head in the federal tax agency and i must say he did wonders teaching russians to pay their taxes fact some would argue hes done too good a job it is now clear putin hangs up the gloves in 2024 he will run for another term time change so does russia that is a revolutionary change from this distance i would say that it gives more power to the parliament but it downgrades the importance of the Prime Ministership of the stability of russias leadership quality which is not a separate issue has been one of the most positive aspects of World Governance in the 21st century. Its president has announced the deployment of more troops to libya and he says to ensure the stability of the un backed government and its capital tripoli now to an a deployment already sent by ankara earlier this month during a meeting with the German Foreign minister general have to affan libyas rival Administration Reportedly said hes ready to a bind by the current ceasefire his arties middle east correspondent pulis lier. Well it certainly seems as if things are heading in the right direction that meeting in moscow was applauded by the International Community is a step in the right direction in terms of bringing about a lasting Peace Agreement in libya as youve mentioned weve just heard from the German Foreign minister that highly for have tyler who is the commander of the Libyan National army has agreed to a cease fire with the forces of the government of National Accord now that is the u. N. Back government that sits in tripoli this followed an earlier an ounce manned by the turkish president of the one in which he said he was starting to send turkish troops to libya to assist the government of National Accord there there are already Turkish Forces in libya but they they are primarily to train the forces in tripoli and everyone is saying that this is all part and parcel of a much Bigger Picture there are agreements between the 2 countries to this effect and that it will help bring the long term stability in libya take a listen we are starting to send our soldiers to ensure religious government survival and stability in libya starting with the idea that turkey security lies outside of its borders we will continue to mobilize our capabilities now all of this comes just days ahead of a meeting that has been planned in the german capital for this weekend and due to attend that meeting our leaders from turkey from russia as well as from britain italy and germany the focus of the meeting will be a follow on from the summit that was held in moscow again a further step in trying to in train and bring about long term security and stability in libya. American President Donald Trump says he will impose higher tariffs on car makers in europe if u. S. Allies better kind of take his side on the Iran Nuclear Deal but have that story more after this short break. Well its finally begun the impeachment of donald j. Trump the president and his supporters say the process is nothing more than a political witch the democrats in the liberal Corporate Media say trump is a National Security threat and must be removed but in the end it would seem democracy being impeached. Donald trump threatened to impose a 25 percent tariff on european comic is if germany france and the u. K. Did not accuse to wrong the violation the 2015 nuclear deal thats been confirmed by germanys defense minister those countries complied with the request and choose de France Foreign minister zarif had this to say in response. Appeasement confirmed youre a trio saw the dark remnants of the joint comprehensive plan of action to avoid new tram tariffs it wont work my friends your only work his appetite remember your High School Bully if you want to sell your intergroup to go ahead but do not assume high moral legal ground you dont have it well iran has dismissed me by the european signatories to trigger the socalled dispute mechanism over its alleged noncompliance with the deal they have a 30 day period to resolve the problem after which it will be referred to the Un Security Council who have the power to reinstate sanctions on tehran so what led to such a fragile situation between the parties the nuclear deal officially named the joint comprehensive plan of action was signed in 2015 by iran and major world powers the agreement was to see tehran limit its Nuclear Activities in exchange for the easing of sanctions but washington pulled out in 2018 and swiftly imposed economic penalties iran then began scaling back its compliance which accelerated after the u. S. Assassinated to irans most powerful general scott ritter a former u. N. Weapons inspector says the e. U. Has little choice but to follow americas lead. Weve seen that you know over the course of the time thats passed since may 2018 when President Trump withdrew from the Iran Nuclear Agreement that the European Union has been struggling to to come to grips with what its options are and you know theyve tried to come up with you know a trade mechanism that will enable iran to trade with e. U. Members to sidestep socalled secondary sanctions that would be imposed by the United States and theyve been unable to come up with something the bottom line is the european economy is too closely tied to the American Economy and they cant afford to confront the United States they literally have have no option and i think thats why they cave so readily and thats why theres no debate thats why theres no anger they have no choice theyve theyve proven that they are unfortunate little more than obedient poodles to the american masters. France has been brought to a standstill once again trade unions and Public Sector workers a piling the pressure on french president manuel mccrum over his rich proposed Pension Reforms Mass Transportation strikes hit paris and other major cities across the country on thursday unions called on train metro and hospital workers along with teaches to march in the french capital demanding a total scrap of microns proposals thousands more rallied across the country docking ports and disrupting and tricity production and thats despite the governments decision to reach a compromise last weekend is going to drop some of the Pension Reforms most controversial aspects the French Parliament is due to debate the bill in february while negotiations drag on some have most of find the funny side of recent events. As the search continues in fronts weve brought you. Know weve brought you the discontentment weve even taught you the violets yet saying they. Interesting about protests like this all the fine is that really brings the color if you just look behind me you can to get a sense of just some of these banners that are out today people spend tireless hours creating these banners to try and get them for a moment say on t. V. Or social networks to try and get their voices of course were going to speak to the ballot hes got this sad very nice sign by british on slate nice english basically saying my god loves to professors particularly at the age of 64 i rather think he failed reference to the fact he married jesus who teaches high hes a brand who should be fair to say franco. Normally teaches retire at 62 like everyone else but if this reform for the past they will go up to 64 or even moving from case this man does the we are told the president whose wife is a teacher. So hes not just the placards that we see at these protests we also see other flags that are regular currencies like this one for che guevara and the flag of the palestinian territories over there also the color that adds to almost every protest that we come to in front of just spotted what looks like quite a nice cargo placard here in paris its a train lets have a chat to the person behind this. Expect watch. Have been on strike for 42 days which you know we really workers are striking against americans pension reform michael i think were witnessing some sort of humorous show here weve got some of the huge looks like the son of Margaret Thatcher and mr mack cole that hairstyle. Really the art of modern. Particularly with what looked like to be pearls on the is around her. For me no protest in paris is complete intil we have met this gentleman this is your baptist and every protest he is out with a new so i mean in this distinctive color in so many 1st s. Or. Joining the fight for social justice the environment democracy democracy everything is going wrong this is a democratic emergency the politicians are not performing their duties and acting to help the people both on the simple message is to do more humorist messages it seems you can pretty much find anything on a placard a protest in france and from everybody weve spoken to it seems that the reason why people are really keen to get their protest band out here in showing is to make sure that they seen in the crowds show that you can ski r. T. In paris. A new report has revealed that the u. K. Failed to notify all the e. U. Countries about 75000 crimes committed by their nationals in britain according to the Guardian Newspaper the home office then apparently tried to cover up the mistake which was caused by a computer error due to embarrassment there is still uncertainty whether historical daily activity files received from the home office are going to be sent out to countries as there is a Reputational Risk to the u. K. The Police Computer system arrow wasnt noticed for 5 years and that meant from 2012 to 2017 for an international convicted of crimes in the u. K. Were able to return home without their own countries being aware of their records there are more officers said it is working to rectify the situation but m. E. P. Andrew england curve told us the scandal will prove to be highly damaging for both the u. K. And its european partners. Lovely bats the brits in fact but its bad for the e. U. Bad for all citizens but if you can only see you have these convictions covered up by some Civil Servants the replication risk is why should the e. U. Counterparts share information with the u. K. If the u. K. Cannot be relied upon she needed to share information and it promptly and officially its very serious and because. Its put us in a very weak position it has really there was a 2 year period once we notice we could leave e. U. We should have been mauled in that time to come to a Long Term Agreement but because we had some Civil Servants that didnt do the job properly and so now weve got the really silly position that endangered many people by the acts of maybe a few people and its totally unacceptable both in the u. K. And the e. U. Well that is your day for now were back here in just about 30 minutes time with more news from around the world see that.
