is celebrating the twenty fifth anniversary of its post soviet constitution but critics say it's been used that in a person to tighten his grip on power for a challenge reports from moscow. it was. the twenty fifth anniversary of russia's constitution was celebrated in the kremlin with a lavish splendor of a grand state event ministers senators parliamentarians regional governors dignitaries and of course the president himself now we're going to do just. the new constitution made a decisive contribution to overcoming the severe political crisis and civil confrontation of the early one thousand nine hundred as a document of direct application it made it possible to avoid the catastrophe of territorial disintegration and strengthen the stated and sovereignty of our country it's fitting that bloody may putin should be celebrating this document because under russia's constitution the president is given an rivals political power.

one nine hundred ninety three russia was a very different country in the chaotic aftermath of the soviet union's collapse president boris yeltsin faced off against rebellious politicians opposed to his radical reforms he ordered troops to crush them with force they fired tank shells of the parliament building after the assembly being dissolved and then yeltsin pushed through russia's new constitution by referendum but the mere risk of was a politician in the yeltsin's government he says the constitution combines both good and bad. if you take the first chapter of the constitution and second chapter of constitution it's one of the best liberal constitutions in the world but second part of constitution which is technical which is about structures of power is this balanced and of course brizard and has huge power in russia seized.

in the era that followed putin used the full powers of the presidency to tame institutions supposedly guaranteed by the constitution is free from political control he brought much of the media under state control and used the courts to prosecute dissidents an oligarchy challenge his authority he also sidesteps presidential term limits with a constitutionally questionable job swap with prime minister to the treatment of recently putin's crackdown on anti-government protesters opposition leader alexei no valley is barred from standing in presidential elections and with putin approaching another presidential term limits critics are asking what's next yet the most since you were just being able to then you're going to show i think that putin doesn't have a solution to this problem he will hesitate between different options he says that he's not planning to stay in power for another term but the circumstances might make him although the physical scars for nine hundred ninety three long gone russia is still living with a constitution born from that chaos it is much debated some say that putin shows

little respect for the document some say that the constitution itself is inherently or thora tarion and some like the liberal politician by the mere risk of say that actually the same constitution can result in many different political systems in this view ultimately it's russian society that has to choose the politics that it wants or retellings i was there moscow. news now from the united nations climate change conference in poland where well it is they're discussing steps to curb the wide reaching effects of global warming because more from the cup twenty four senate and poland. current talks in poland are reaching the final crucial stages and now we've come here. to follow them through to their conclusion in the bid to keep emissions down and to stop temperatures from rising and to explore the challenges that coal dependent nations

champions the golden state warriors trauma warmed up for that game with a convincing win over the l.a. clippers the raptors will win without star forward to well you leonard she was reportedly wanted by l.a. on three agency next year toronto didn't seem to need him as much as the clippers might l.a. losing one hundred twenty three to ninety nine on home courts at the staples center in their biggest defeat of the season surge of rock has twenty five points leading the raptors to their twenty second when they schooled in state in oakland shortly. even though leonard may not have been playing against the clippers he's been central to the raptors recent success earlier i spoke to garrett he's the n.b.a. editor at the score in toronto he told us how leonard has helped transform the raptors. the trade off of the margaret was in for quite a leonard makes such a significant impact on both ends of the floor and co i wonder just he's on a different level as that play a lot more to be excited about you have essentially the exact same team but you're

adding call if you're also adding baby green who is one of the best three d. players in the n.b.a. it's very under-rated movies well they've just been so much better so much more crisp with the basketball this season and you just see such a big difference let me tell you everybody is extremely excited here everybody i work with strictly raptors fans i'm the only non raptors not really there actually is i get tell you the hype and drama was really really high and it's probably not going to slow down until somebody tries to beat them in the playoffs and i don't know if anybody's going to be able to win the east it'll be between the celtics the sixers in the rafters but right now it's hard to deny the raptors odds and everybody seems to be really excited about it so i think we're all looking forward to our raptors warriors finals the future of the cycling team that's won six of the last seven tour de france titles is and doubt team sky sponsor has said it will withdraw financial backing at the end of next year cash from the broadcasting company sky has helped power chris froome to six grand tour of the attorneys this

own party but questions remain about the country's breck's at plans. hello i'm a star and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up debating the war in yemen u.s. senators about to start discussing whether to pull military support from the saudi and iraqi led coalition. president donald trump's former lawyer michael cohen is. going to prison for tax evasion and for violating campaign finance laws that says he's getting his freedom back. and calls get louder for the release of journalists named as time magazine's person of the year. british prime minister to resign may have survived a challenge to head leadership called by party backbench as opposed to have to deal

with the european union while may survives politically if and now she still faces widespread opposition in the westminster parliament to have a plan with just over three months to go before the u.k. is juice to leave opponents and demanding a general election while others according to another referendum on rex's in the festival reports andrew symonds looks back on the men to stay in british politics. the result of. deceive is that the parliamentary party does have confidence here. it was a convincing win two hundred votes against one hundred seventeen. the secret ballot behind closed doors in westminster was because of tories a maze handling of bricks it but she struck a compromise with the conservative party in order to ensure keeping her jaw a promise not to stand in the next election but she made no reference to such

a compromise when she emerged after the vote so here is a new mission delivering the bricks it that people voted for bringing the country back together and building a country that truly works for everyone but some of those who voted against her say there's been irreparable damage she brought back an agreement that has divided the conservative party and divided the conservative party from. this means we don't have a we don't have a majority to govern the country earlier in the day there had been high drama the tension easing only slightly when conservative m.p.'s publicly declaring their support past the hundred fifty nine figure needed for her survival as party leader cabinet ministers at the church we already have a certain amount of volunteers volatility in the country because the negotiations going on with the think it is

a huge mistake to add to that five volatility by having a leadership fight night and all the confusion would go that. the prime minister had started her day in a defiant mood i will contest that vote with everything i've got she immediately cleared his schedule and headed off to parliament to face the opposition and if he wants a meaningful days i'll give him one twenty ninth of march two thousand and nine. the mummy leaves a european. here to me holding totally and absolutely unacceptable the prime minister not government already been found to be in contempt of parliament her behavior to date is just contemptuous of this policy it's been an extraordinary few days in british politics to resume a return to dining street on wednesday night still in her job but at the risk of turning herself into a lame duck prime minister and drew simmons al-jazeera london while lawrence lee has more from outside parliament on what the vote for treason may. so she lives to

fight another day and in one sense you could argue that the margin of victory was sufficient that both her reason may and her loyalists can argue that it was a decisive victory to see off those hardline n.c. europeans who wanted to bring and her entire withdrawal agreement from the european union down but the real criticism the real opposition to what happens tonight has come not from those hardliners but from those politicians inside westminster who want to maintain a much closer relationship with the european union because they're busy pointing out that if one hundred seventeen can seventy's that's almost forty percent of tory m.p.'s here in the parliament have no confidence in their leader if he's effectively impossible it's a reason may whenever it happens to come back to parliament and get her deal through it means effectively that she has to get at least one hundred seventeen and probably more opposition m.p.'s to support and they are in absolutely no mood to do

that at all because what they want is an entirely different deal that keeps the u.k. in a much closer and stronger long term relationship with the european union and so in the coming days i think tomorrow thursday and friday two things are going to happen first of all trees and they will head to brussels for the european council meeting where she'll have to say to the e.u. twenty seven look you need to give me something at least some sort of assurance that the u.k. won't be stuck in a long term economic relationship with the e.u. that's to assuage the hardliners in her own party and yet at the same time there's going to be a growing body of opposition parties here at westminster who are going to suppress the leader of the opposition labor party the main opposition jeremy corbin to say to him you need to now have a vote of no confidence in tories amaze entire government to try to force either a second referendum or

a general election i don't think that's likely to happen. this side of christmas on the grounds that they would probably lose it for the time being but i think it is very likely to happen at some point in the new year so it's one of those nights where for tourism a she can paint things as a victory but many of her opponents say she's actually looking more and more as if she's heading towards a longer term defeat well people in britain have. growing increasingly frustrated about the divorce process. it is a time of great up he will for britain the people of came to in southeast england voted overwhelmingly to leave the e.u. many here hope bragg's it would be the dawn of a new era but they remain in limbo everyone's just disgusted with the government at the moment so i think that's the case then because there's not. a lot of hope for a vote for. wouldn't if i knew it was going to break this fast it's turning into

a bit of a circus for your message for the promise of. it too and you've had your time sadly behind the scenes the local council is preparing for the worst this produce this document a contingency plan to avoid being potentially crippled by the effects of brecht's it in the event of a no deal there's likely to be major disruptions to border and customs arrangements causing huge disruptions across kent and beyond. eighty percent ninety percent of all the roll on roll off ferries and trains come out of kent so if there is disruption the impact on the current economy is really severe with the roads getting blocked unplugged by having to hold and park twelve thousand lorries at any one time in two thousand and fifteen a strike by french ferry workers lead to kilometers of congestion the report warns that breaks it could lead to an even worse situation affecting not just the

delivery of goods but also the collection of rubbish children going to school the registration of births and deaths and even the transfer of bodies to mortuaries some of the plans on paper are already being realised the government spent seven million dollars keeping this disused airport available as a potential lorry park for thousands of stranded drivers. this is the nearby port of ramsgate serving mainly pleasure craft and the occasional freighter it's been earmarked to supposable over spill for the major cross-channel ferry port of dover in order to keep the county and the country moving these plans need to be watertight historically the county of canes made its fortune by trading with europe and the rest of the world by keeping its doors open in more recent years the county forge an even deeper time with the european union through the euro tunnel trade and travel depends of course upon stream team. regs that are absolutely no
