12:39 pm
a drug that is now. the republican leader we call question yeah. it is you know it's a canary so they could. really go to fifty eight hundred people going to join. the league of media. and it just it is really really. history have. had a. serious . it's a grotesque vision but it is riveting visited me taking place get off easy and call it the building revolutions it was the repetition of saddam had slowed down or the other and only in the finishing say because of the vices nobody got hurt but it was
12:40 pm
also something that had to take place on the streets and in the middle east government that there is a good hope of but it also had that take place sorry this moment. because they always expect to be a good situation so most of the sex was easily corrected but they rotate where they were going to just take over the parliament fight for that white school they were going to buy quite intimate use of so if you consider the road an area completely but for a country like that it really and i think many here so far most other political partnership will close for them for the six without the fight jobs. because i don't like her slogan voted for the young white world with thirty three tons of white joe the moon but didn't didn't get in the middle with many people move video media be coming back here to observe what's going on the billions of obedience to live

a full blown possibility is i asked for the summing of what she would do it all had all the room full of israel t.v. the country is the global the disposable low you can very organized would you do what you believe didn't. get the middle aged right any music with the people it was possible to create a revolution did change power sold violently opposed some of what really is going to be you know that with the. let it be freely offered him of what begins now absolutely i mean he needed two thirds of the parliament didn't need to be voted in as prime minister alone many were concerned that the running home. wouldn't lend support as they didn't a week ago when he first tried to be so what changed. the result for the public. realize. the republican.
12:42 pm
even though their leader had resigned they still felt that somehow he was. understanding that the public opinion miscalculated just how. big. the crowds. in the country sound. across the country in every village and every on the road the country was. that it showed that the power was. in the street the police had the power the republicans all they could. proceed with surely going to bring it to the place he has just recently but the question is how he's going to bring about those changes to the premise how he's
12:43 pm
going to initiate electoral reform how he's going to deliver his program to a possible that is still by george he controlled by the government the republican party of sex so he's going to have to. is going to have to work with the very people he has promised the people that he's going to. he says that he's going to have to create those very people to reach the kind of political progress that he that he requires. people to. rooting out corruption creating a fairer since the forever but bringing. result. foreign policy issues as well like dealing with the karabakh conflict going with. keeping russia happy maintaining good relations with the west all of these things have got to be resolved and it's still huge hole that. to join it going into my great great
12:44 pm
believing is going to take six the face right now goes they have every reason to be celebrating and all of that they can worry about tomorrow and. i know he already looks like he's preparing well to make these changes from within the system yes it's in time we just saw pictures that of him in his suit and tie where is he now right at this moment what's he doing. i think he's probably right now leaving the parliament on his way here and i think it'll be fun to watch the reaction of the crowd when he shows up. from here to the parliament building here very very soon be coming up on stage to address i think his supporters really could be coming up on stage to address any of the people who gathered here. tens of thousands in their whites to show that there are things called movement who will be coming to talk to

them and thank them for delivering this victory to you mention those close to the well that's a bit of a. to be a part of it but he said. that you can pull might have changed but his principles haven't and it has been extremely effective. image that he has holds of a seat with the help of his with a different opposition groups that came together and all coordinated to bring about this this momentous change you know just a simple they will details of their life talking about it by reports lately about how they wanted it approachable and certainly he has the gift of being there is magic. so there were people being able to talk to people come to people's houses doing it cross the country they would go and told the people who are just hearing to sit down maybe we could. fully to have a look if we can help i'll step aside it will be
12:46 pm
a bit of those pictures of move out of the way and we'll just have a sort of roommate of what's going on down there as we wait for the caucus to get to come on stage. i think he's just the right now as we just heard him we just heard his name being called. certainly everybody here just waiting for that moment when they will be able to really cool this moment because. this is a country that is struggling since independence. as opposed soviet republic on the near like many soviet republics post soviet republics has a. very powerful old socratic systems of government which seeing how other countries have shrugged them off but always had difficulties ukraine of course people will be reminded that ukraine had its revolution in the twenty's. but so they are still plagued by difficulties they had this conflict with russia. after
12:47 pm
that with the country with rogue russian separatism. that we had a concern that it was an ongoing it can have its own problems. and those are the sorts of issues that should rethink your after these kind of revolutionary movements who never quite get what you hope for but certainly this is their moment this is an extraordinary take romania. absolutely indeed it is it robin that we will leave. this historic claimants that on that republic square outside column of the column and that is just. a nickel passing on as country's new prime minister which is saying. he got fifty nine votes out of forty two any needed fifty three to become the new prime minister. the news u.s. president donald trump will announce later on tuesday whether he will pull america
