7:12 am
the president but because the people saw it's a victory against power and against. today this morning at the national assembly there was supposed to be a vote of no confidence towards my god the prime minister and his government but because you resigned on thursday that didn't happen again it seems the celebrations how much emotions for people were running high in regards to this man and why well because he. came into power it was reelected last august and my guy did a lot of his campaigning because kate is an old man on his his health was was falling so so he really led the campaign and this campaign was based on this idea of bringing back security to mali to this country since two thousand and thirteen it's been rocked by instability with insurgent groups. doing brazen attacks
7:13 am
including in the capital bamako but also in different regions so my guess is the prime minister's job was to bring back security but because the million forces do not have the ability or the forces to to to patrol this entire country he relied heavily on these militia groups ethnic militia groups and they were responsible for the killing of one hundred sixty seven pole ethnic pole in three weeks ago and that really shocked the nation the fact that the prime minister instead of relying on the armed forces relied on militia groups to try to bring back stability to mali so a lot of question is directed towards the government and that explains why he was removed from office now it's all in our car kate has to try to find a new government that will be accepted by the people here. uganda's top court is up held a lawyer removing the presidential age limit to could lead to

7:24 am
via skype from bratislava in slovakia is julius horvath economics professor at the central european university in budapest thanks very much for being with us so why does viktor or bon want this bank in his country that is. this question of his ago. because really if. change. and this happens. maybe. and definitely in. and hungary in the last three four years actually is. emphasizing the vagueness of us that you were up all for of albany who was the least improving gross and she views the more dynamic part of the world and things like that and this is why i'm
7:25 am
a love of love so it's improving relation of usage which is already on for a couple of years the russian mother mika their jeep on the across the pond water you know very influential contact affordability in the actors in hungary and this is one of those continuation of the staple for police it's curious though because this bank would be the seventeenth largest in hungary it doesn't appear to have the money for big projects does it yes i think there you go it's all this is about him which was founded in. you know kind of you know laid out in the sixty's early seventy's. so its ties to our other way to modernize and actually the bank was to support competition for loans or things like that each was a little difficult to implement in the plumbing system but the been sort of live the night in the eighty's it was not the last it's kind of people lost interest it
7:26 am
was a bank it was a small small volume of topicality and if a remember correctly even one hundred billion left of these banks doing that kind of playfulness there's. a lady in the late that in that but then you know who are doing is that who do you think we can to be rejuvenated saying. maybe maybe ten years ago or if you get to be more seen internationally. in burgess law you specially it's opening two thousand and fifty that original office it increases their membership to be. nine counties. but definitely it provides loans. in the world of twenty those people and they're also low dose which on the global scale. is not a substantial when we're going. so basically what is the purpose of this
7:27 am
bank is it like china's development bank yes it is to have a good relation. to help russia or maybe to ease some of the same because maybe some people can come to the bank who put it where you. had the. reach of would be difficult to do so so was this noble fergus i sing you need a political gesture for them and it has also led to me in. the small and it is in that you may be you know because of the political impact but it's difficult to see. you know from the from the university or from some. but most likely this this is the fact the opposition is calling this putin's trojan horse if you like because it gives it gives the russians this unprecedented opportunity to
7:28 am
enter the e.u. through this route and the argument goes that this this creates a serious national security concern is that a legitimate concern you think. oh you know that's. typically already done. the loss of disclosure so. impair you've already lost darkly you know they know a lot of these called too old to move across borders. you know where the elegant hoped to go to how to move. the gun to go government is very friendly to the russian economy be interesting but on the other hand soon he's a member of nato is member of european union and it's a huge german interest for example so i don't think he said this is if we change our political political picture who. is to some
7:29 am
smaller size to more strengthening. the eastern countries especially those most hideous horvath good to speak with you. still to come on counting the cost sixteen thousand jobs on the line as jet airways grounds flights. a neo liberal economies love to talk up independent central banks free of political interference these banks have been able to raise and lower rates to curb inflation and boost growth but a populist trend has emerged that threatens their freehand president trump who has regularly attacked his pick for u.s. fed chairman jerome powell said the stock market would be five thousand to ten thousand points higher if the central bank had done its job properly breaks it is of rubbish the bank of england and its canadian governor mark carney prediction on
7:30 am
the economic impact of britain's decision to leave the european union president to when of turkey triggered short selling of the lira after the central bank started propping up the currency ahead. of elections and more doubts a been cast on india's economic data at the central bank has lowered interest rates just before elections there all this at a time when the international monetary fund has lowered projections for growth to three point three percent the lowest growth since two thousand and nine well joining us here in doha to talk more about this is aqua khan senior director of asset management and welcome so about the independence of the central banks it seems that the they're there under threat from several leaders in the world president trump and in turkey modi in india and so on what do you make of that. so when it's very easy for a politician to want to use the resources of the state to help them get reelected
7:31 am
it would only be natural central bankers have spent many decades in trying to extricate themselves in particular many of the advanced economies from that oversight from politicians so they can actually do what's best for the long term of the country rather than short term populist measures however the politics in a number of countries you've mentioned and a few others we just had an election in an easier than other country where you've seen some populist policies the politics of a lot of countries have now meant that you have leaders that are more focused on these more short term measures and that has put a lot of pressure on central bankers to try and maintain that independence president trump has repeatedly tweeted about how much he dislikes frankly the federal reserve which doesn't help them in doing what they're what they're trying to do so i guess the question is to what extent can central bankers withstand that pressure. and continue to do what they're doing or as in some central bankers have found particularly india they get fired but there has always been discussion hasn't
7:32 am
there about the job that central banks do i mean during the financial crisis of more than a decade ago the question was should they be should they have been spending so much . to rescue these banks that were in trouble i mean are they are they clear enough in their guidance what's what's acceptable and what isn't so central bankers generally work with inflation targets so they basically in more danced economies they said inflation targets which is an effectively a target for economic growth after we had the crisis a decade ago growth collapsed and if your target has a central bankers to bring inflation up to a certain level that means you have to get growth up to a certain level which led them to effectively throw the rule book out and try and hold. a ray of things which hadn't been done before to try and get growth back up so you could call it populist you could also call it them trying to meet their. aim which is to have a certain stable level of growth so you could you could probably criticize them of
7:33 am
having not done enough prior to the crisis which actually led the crisis to happen so they probably allowed too much growth to happen in the preceding years which which led to the problem and as far as the in the implications of the global economy we have the i.m.f. warning of slowing growth what are what are the main areas of concern for you sure so the i.m.f. has just announced this very recently but actually the world economy has been slowing for so several months or several quarters depending on depending on where you look at so europe is probably the part of the world which which is seeing some of the deeper slowdown germany is struggling and the manufacturing economy within that the automotive sector which as supply chains globally has has been struggling france is slower italy is slower so europe has issues the u.s. which has been on on a very good path has recently started to slow in.
