year. opponents were quick to jump on a leak video of her drinking and partying with friends, saying she wasn't fit to govern. marin was cleared of wrongdoing, but arguably, criticism of her government's public spending. hit her more than the head and isn't scandal it. for me, i'm burdened by the economists actually read that too much step. i think i wish you would have a both. are they still in 20 years time, but the current expenditures and depth thinking, i'm worried about how we can afford the welfare states in the future that i know some of my and she's done great. the most of the fins also think that she did an amazing job with the current wires, but it may be we have to look at new crisis that we have. and some of us still believe that she does very good job. other people need on

i think it's without doubt has been a very next to next election and such an exciting time for all of us. also following the parliamentary elections in different languages that the 1st time in history, finland a wanted to get involved international audience and couldn't get involved in the 5 different languages they've been airing it. and i think already at the discussions was told that the social democrats are not going to go in to coalition if the true fence was in the government. so it's going to be a very long cold, in my case, to see how are they gonna, you know, consolidate and get together and form such because they come from to a different ideologies, how they want to lead the country. then i'll think liter during colbert, giving us everyone hope leading us through the recession, despite the war happening in ukraine and getting through not to process despite that, yes she is poor writing was seen that people either like or dislike or, and i think that's court and connected to her spending so day the economy has been

very big topic and the budget has been on discussions. we've been glued to tv screens every single evening for the last 2 weeks. and the public spending has been number one discussion, and i think everyone was focused on austerity, both of them with the national coalition party, as well as the trends. where on the social democrats side there hasn't been a problem, it's like so how are you going to get the savings where you're going to get, you know, the money from there's so much increased spending on health care. we have problems and finish education where problems getting teachers getting nurses. and so i think that the budget has been her a he'll, he'll in montenegro, former economy minister. yeah, calls me lot of h has won the presidential one off. the lot of it's secure. 60 percent of the vote, swaby incumbent, me load, yukon of each, got 39.9 percent under president yukon of asia, small nation joy, nato,

alexander duncan, a far right political philosopher and crumbling supporter, was believed to be the intended target. the russian foreign ministry has issued a statement condemning the attack and praising satarsky, his work as a journalist and his service to his country. these types of attacks are rare in russia with the planning and plotting behind them. just prove that the battles are not confined to the dumbass region. doors such a worry al jazeera, moscow. u. s. secretary of state antony blinking has called for the immediate release of american journalists, m garish, coff. gash cove ish during a call with the russian foreign minister say gay laffer off. gosh. gov h is a correspondent with a wall street journal. he was detained by russian security agents on thursday on allegations of spying. lab ramsay is washington shouldn't politicize the case and gush grove h. freight will be determined by a court particle haine has more from washington. this phone call's notable for a couple of reasons. first, you are secretary state antony, blinking,

and his counterparts survey leverage. don't speak often. in fact, since russia invaded ukraine, they've only had one conversations, and that was last month on the sidelines of the g 20 a very brief conversation. the fact that this call is coming just days after evan girth kevin was arrested, is also significant. now it was the normal read out word. you said they, he expressed grave concern called it an unacceptable detention called for his immediate release, although he didn't put name him. he did name paul wheeler and said he also needs to be released that something the u. s. has been working for, he's an american that was sent to 16 years in prison in russia. one of the things in the statement that was fairly interesting is they said that they discussed the importance of creating an environment that permits diplomatic missions to carry out their work. what that likely means is the u. s. is concern is just how long it's going to take to get there constantly officials to actually get to see this

journalist and that is important because of a process within the u. s. basically they have to speak with him before they can declare that he has been wrongfully detained with that designation. it changes things within the state department. his case then goes to a special department whose whole job is to try and get americans held hostage basically back home. they are then in charge of the negotiation, and there are several more resources that can go into this case. so likely, this is antonio blink and trying to send a message to survey live rav that he expects that us diplomats will have access to him sooner rather than later. because right now the fear as it could take weeks, or even maybe months. particle haine, al jazeera washington. israel's cabinet has approved the plans of a far right minister to form a national guard. critic say it will be nothing more than a private militia for each my been give air, who has a criminal conviction for inciting racial hatred against palestinians. dennis smith
