the at. the end. this is good news coming to you live from berlin lousy he was a comedian now he's the president of ukraine 41 years old of all the presidents key has promised to be a new kind of leader but what are his plans and how would he meet the many challenges facing the country. also coming up. a rare look behind the scenes at times preparations for the 2022 soccer world cup the country hopes to set new standards with its cutting edge stadiums but it's reaping criticism from human

rights groups over conditions for workers involved in the project's. blast even if you're never watched a single episode you've most likely heard of fit the cult series of game of thrones ended after 8 as the kids but not the core fans are happy with the finale and if you haven't seen it yet don't worry no spoilers here. hello and welcome i'm a touchy about good to have you with us former can we didn't all do is a lenski has been sworn in as the president of ukraine selenski immediately announced he would dissolve parliament and hold a new election in 2 months time he said his 1st challenge was to end the conflict would russia and the east of the country. i. think not it is

a lengthy and full list many supporters. to being president elect on his way to being sworn in embracing the enthusiastic crowd. you know variation is a reality check for you not long ago played the role of president in a popular t.v. comedy show. the outsider had been voted in on the promise of change. and the country did not have to wait long for the new president to shake things up i think is of parliament only moments after being sworn in. the great i dissolved of a cover of the 8th convocation. so let's get calls for shop elections which you hope will give a majority in parliament. the president he says backing off the house to tackle ukraine's mounting debt flagging economy and to make good on its promise to taco corruption. another pressing issue is a simmering conflict in the donbass which has claimed 13000 lives to date selenski

has called for a cease fire with russian backed separatists but it's not clear if moscow is open to dialogue with the pro western president. so you can count on the support of the people but he also had sort of up to their expectations. it was wonderful to hear simple easy to understand words for ordinary people we hope that everything will be alright the hopes riding on him are enormous growth is going to chance. taking away politicians immunity and fighting corruption those are the 3 main things that need to be done. let me shift the land looking no no i do so i hope his actions match his words if they do i think ukraine will live in peace and plenty tough challenges lie ahead and the former actor will find it's much harder to remain popular as an actual president. and feel more did obviously colony joins

me from the ukrainian capital kiev left the new president did away with some of the formality if you know as we saw in our report a lot of fuss in c. and also say he's going to dissolve parliament how did that go down there. well i could see a lot of heads being scratched and lots of fairly confounded expressions on the benches of ukraine's parliament just a couple of meters away from because he made that announcement he really had kept the tension going initially going with all the normal protocol and you have the anthem being sung and the seal of state being handed over lots of pomp and ceremony and then yes he says he would be taking this opportunity to dissolve parliament and then the 2 months that now between today's date and those elections at least if things go to his plan he wants the members of parliament to pass a law stripping themselves of immunity from prosecution not only that he also wants to change the electoral system and live on t.v. with most of ukraine watching he fired some of the heads of ukraine's top security

services the prosecutor general so it really was a morning of great political drama and seeing a sign that you know he knows how to play this game having those parliamentary elections is crucial because he doesn't have a party yet he doesn't have that support in parliament if he's really wants translate on those huge expectations that people have on him he will need to have people in parliament and obviously he wants those elections to happen while he's still riding high in the polls as a lens is a political novice and make for many who voted for him that spot of his shot but what is expected to be the focus of his presidency. well exactly and that was the worry among many observers here that he might be good at campaigning but that he wouldn't be too good at day to day politics it's very early now to tell how well he'll do based on today's performance he's pretty canny operator he really took that opportunity everyone watching to really put his opponents of an ultimatum put him in

a position they couldn't really get out of in terms of the issues well he really he campaigned on a platform of very sort of broad brushstroke change and you generation and you tone a new approach to politics fighting corruption and allowing ukraine to kind of move forward really this is a country that. has failed to make good on its huge potential it's the 2nd poorest country in europe despite huge resources in terms of the details well there's been a lot of criticism that he hasn't really given us a lot of detail that he's stayed very vague but it seems that isn't hurting him ukrainians are wanting that message of change and for now they're except in the fact that he's not giving them too much in the way of small print and that ukraine has a troubled relations with rochelle what's the reaction from moscow been to the inauguration of the new president. there was a very very catchy snide response from the kremlin from vladimir putin's press spokesman saying that. woods. congratulate his ukrainian counterpart when

he when he zelinsky had shown that he had brought about improvements in the russian ukrainian relationship and had done taken steps to improve the situation so a very provisional a very big grudging message there from moscow i think in terms of these relations we didn't hear anything direct about russia from zelinsky his speech but he did say that don't bason ending the war the conflict there would be his priority and given that those separatists are backed by russia there's no way around the kremlin i don't think will see zelinsky getting on a plane and trying to talk one to one man to man with putin. ukraine's society off to 5 years of war really wouldn't accept that so there's a pretty narrow path that he can take now without angering all those people who have been at war and who have kept this country going and he'll probably be looking to get the west europe in the u.s. on his side to join him there's a geisha with the kremlin and not go there alone and risk as many observers have said being taken of on shore by vladimir putin who as we know is a very experienced and very shrewd political operator right and economy in kid

thank you very much will take from that. they can now bring you up to date with some of the stories making news around the world google says it's cutting ties to chinese tech company while very the u.s. internet giant says it's responding to a decision by the trumpet ministration to categorize hallway as a national security threat the move means that while be a smartphone owners would have only limited access to google services in the future . iran has condemned comments made by u.s. president donald trump via twitter this weekend as genocide torn using his twitter account they're on foreign minister job and sirleaf responded to trump swarming about the end of iran by treating never threatened and iranian relations between the 2 countries have worsened since washington pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal last year. for the 1st time since the ousting of so that he's president bashir

supporters of the country's extremist groups have turned out to call for the inclusion of sharia law under a new government and this as talks between saddam's ruling generals and the opposition resume on the transition to civilian rule. now which is this to go before the european elections the chancellor of austria struggling to restore stability and that's after he pulled the plug on his governing coalition with the far right freedom party which is now in the grip of a corruption scandal speaking just a short while ago sébastien court said his conservative party here not in this case supports a thorough investigation of bribery allegations against his vice chancellor heinz christiane. last week a video in most of. legibly offering government contracts in exchange for campaign funding he has since attended his resignation. it was this video released by

a german news outlets to speak. to the broadcasters governing coalition to its knees and in a labyrinth sting operation vice chancellor heinz because general of austria's far right party f p earlier is heard and seen offering government contracts to a fake gresson backer in return for campaign help while the video was filmed in 2017 it didn't become public until last friday. resigned in disgrace and chancellors a bastion courts responded by calling for early elections but courts question whether the interior minister habit kiki also from the far right party should stay on in the meantime kiku would be in charge of investigating this scandal despite being the head of the far right party at the time of the sting the far right party however said their ministers would collectively step down should their interior minister be sacked. if we are drawing a cause that involves a visit she is in vienna barbara the political scandal is built on the government

of australia chances of boston coats he spoke earlier today what do you make office handling of this crisis. this whole saga here in austria seems to be descending and farce of rita because we just saw it suppressed in quotes the chancellor step into the president's office practically the 2 offices his and the one of alexander found pundit palin the president just opposite each other talking to him so the press was just standing on him when he came out but then he sort of fled through the back entrance without saying another word local interpretation here has it that he has not told the president please kick out kill the contentious interior minister but the president is waiting for course to communicate that to the freedom party minister and then afterwards there's going to be a statement but we've had these waiting periods several times and nothing happened

so far and who are it's really has a hard time throwing the freedom party overboard he somehow seems to still be playing tactical games here and that what you bought at the freedom party that is a far right party is is in disarray after these revelations and ahead of elections which have been called in the country. they're really trying to avoid that impression by all means we saw a press conference by their leading people earlier in the day and their closing ranks 1st they said yes sorry that was a mistake but then the former party leader karl-heinz traveled the man figuring in the video he had to step down and now we are ready to move on let's continue those successful politics that we had here in austria let's continue with the coalition and they even went on the attack and said if things go wrong now we'll be used running out of government will be thrown out of government that it will be the fault of the chancellor of course because he's ready to jettison us jefferson us

and to sort of. look to his party to move further to the middle like and so it's there on the attack again because they're of course fighting to keep their voters on court. visit in vienna thank you very much for bringing us all the latest on the political chaos. if you're watching the news coming up ahead the cult series game of thrones wraps up after 8 epic yes but not or fans are happy with the outcome we'll get reactions to the show's final episode and don't worry no spoilers if you haven't seen it yet. the 1st voting in india's national elections has ended with exit polls predicting a 2nd term but from listening to more the long lines formed outside polling stations in the final round of voting throughout the election these hindu nationalist busy period its rivals have accused each other of violence fraud and intimidation the election it seems is seen as

a referendum on moodie and his policies results are expected on thursday. standing at a polling station in the holy city of water nazi which is also a prestigious constituency because prime minister no dreams are more the is standing for reelection from here this is the city he represents in the lower hearts of parliament right now there have been some rumblings of discontent among stress events over a redevelopment project which he has spearheaded around an iconic temple in the city but he is still largely specter to win again from this constituency the question is simply of how white a margin he is going to win with now water nessie waters are not the only ones who are watering for no reason the more the all across the country he has been and i can for the ruling b.g.p. even in his campaign speeches we have the prime minister saying that every vote on

the lotus which is the election symbol off to be chippy every wart on the lotus is a water form or the this is what the prime minister has been saying and this is really an important rule as many political analysts believe that a correlation government will form the government at the center unlike the majority government that prime minister narendra modi is leading. now even today there have been reports of opposition party leaders holding meetings perhaps to figure out to people alliance to find a way to take part but finally off to 6 long weeks these weeks and weeks and perhaps months of speculation about who the next prime minister will be is coming to a close it is just 4 days to go for the results be valid be finding out if the country things that prime minister nouri and more the should be awarded a 2nd term or if the national mandate will favor the challenger from the opposition rahul gandhi or perhaps some other candidate from one of the regional bodies to take the force of prime minister the way it is coming to an end in data science on

may 23rd. that's the. reporting from. now preparations for the 2022 suckle was in full swing in qatar but the decision to award the tournament to the state is mired in controversy not least because of the treatment of workers employed to build the stadiums and other infrastructure this next report of a rare look behind the scenes. at once a poor poor old iron country qatar is now a playground of the super rich the discovery of the world's biggest natural gas fields in the 1970 s. turned the mini state into a major power in image the emir is keen to project not least as host of the 2022 feet for world cup. 7 new stadiums are planned in total one of them has already finished a walk or a stadium features cutting edge design and high tech cooling systems.

the head of the organizing committee says qatar is setting new standards in the gulf 6. our goals of course is to ensure the safety security health and dignity of everyone living in the state of is maintained to the high standards that soon there is a vast gulf between the lines of the super rich and the minds of the migrant workers who are building qatar's world cup stadiums in 40 degree heat. they work up to 10 hours a day 6 days a week medical treatment is supposed to be free as our meals and internet housing is cramped and simple but it looks clean is this enough. we're allowed to ask one worker questions his months interprets. how much money per hour do you get here.

very good. it's no problem. no problem but how much is it the workers are paid by the month. how much per month how much is it. should i really say how much i on. should i really. think it's $380.00 euros. but human rights watch says wages are often much lower and that migrant construction workers may be paid late or not at all unions are banned in qatar and there is often no legal recourse unfortunately the situation for migrant workers is still quite harsh. workers are still suffer from exploitation from. you know are vulnerable to forced labor even though we've

heard many many forms. when asked the head of the organizing committee admits there are problems. if laws have been implemented companies are and are applying it but not all companies of course not everybody has been there will come situations that are not where people are their full rights are not being provided if conscience is serious about protecting the rights of foreign workers as it claims to be there's still a lot to be done in the lead up to the 2022 feet the world cup and beyond. now after 18 years and $47.00 emmys one of the most popular shows in television history has ended of course i'm talking about the game of thrones millions watched the final episode while wide hundreds of thousands have been discussing the end of the series online and don't worry that no spoiler is reported nicole reese has been tracking the story you could tell us 1st of all why is this series so special for

you already mentioned some numbers 47 emmys millions of viewers worldwide 170 countries at this successfully and for me i'm also watching the serious really comes down to the tension that is being built up every time you watch an episode you're like what's going to happen next is my character going to survive my favorite character and that's down to the script writing because they easily kill of any any character when they want and how they want to in very brutal way so we have never seen that scale i think of close ups as well on crime scenes it's a drug that are happening in the series and you see these noble families in this fantasy series really trying to get to power trying to get on the eye in front and they just taking everything it means to to to get that and i think that attracted also millions of us world wide and also thousands in the world ok we need to say say goodbye to this series they came together in public places and bars and bank we're just seeing images from. these people have met in the loft to say goodbye to

their favorite series and also more than 16000000 people tuned in on cream in table . in the u.s. and all the 5xww people followed after that tuning in as well so that gives you some numbers and figures it's really a show of superdelegates that has attracted so so many to watch it now the series has ended as i mentioned and it's wow a fans' reaction to the ending of course no spoilers in case you know about it or not we're not getting to any spoilers say well fans are divided there is a joy to some and maybe we just take to them directly we have spoken to some fans in new york and this is what they have to say i'm going to be more like the dramatic and the laugh at the thought i was that there was more of this well i think it obsoletes i doubt i think of them and well. as was a kind of my take on face time here that. so you see they're

a bit divided if i can say that and there was also an online petition during this last season of people say we want a remake of this last season and we're over 1000000 people signing up for it because they thought that the script writing was not good enough and if we would just draw also to china the last episode was delayed so they couldn't watch it just at the same time and all this and. there was this big fear of spoilers as ever about that they found spoilers online i think because some of the hash text related to this last episode really took over social media over there as well and if you set up even a news room with complaining about spoilers produces and cost create act well it's also a good buy for the cost of course the actress who played $1.00 of the lead characters in media clark she sent that she cried when she read the final script and she also took to instagram to to just say some last words about this if you want to game of

thrones have has shaped me she says as a woman as an actor and as a human being to you dear con magical fans i owe you so much funks so these this is almost a decade of filming the series it's my heart full of only fought for the fans but also hard for the cost bought for those so really really long being forced on fantasy seriously more in the pipeline h.b.o. is planning to produce more fantasy series in the future future and also i think netflix or the rights to the chronicles of narnia with is really known fantasy series as well and there's more to come for those people who are really craving for some fantasy here and in this such a vacuum and with a series that just goes to an end thank you very much for bringing us all that information on the game of thrones without spoiling yeah. ok now for some tennis and file now that has defended his attorney in open title
