g.w. has it all. elections on may 26th in t.w. . this is a w's lie from palin the last year he was a comedian now he's president of ukraine. lucky me a semantic promise to be a new kind of leader but what are his plans and how did he meet his country's many challenges also on the program. wants to set new standards with 7 stadiums in preparation for the 2022 football world cup but he's also facing

criticism from human rights groups over conditions for workers involved in the project. cancer grant look behind the scenes. even if you've never watched it you've most likely to get series game of thrones has ended after 8 years but all the fans are happy with the finale and if you haven't seen it yet don't worry i'll be no spoilers here. i'm phil gal welcome to the program. for the comedian a volodymyr lansky has been sworn in as president of ukraine and immediately on arms that he would dissolve parliament and hold new elections in 2 months his 1st challenge she said was to end the conflict with russia in ukraine's east. it was a big day full of demas selenski and for his many supporters the beaming president

elect embraced and enthusiastic crowd on his way to being sworn in. the integration is a reality check for a man who not long ago played the role of the president in a popular t.v. comedy show the outsider had been voted in on the promise of change. and the country didn't have to wait long for the new president to shake things up as he does so old parliament only moments after being sworn in as great by dissolve the vocals in a rather of the 8th convocation. selinski course you'll snap elections that he hopes will give him a majority in parliament the president really needs the backing of the house to tackle ukraine's mounting debt a flag economy and to make good on his promise to fight corruption. and now the pressing issue is the simmering conflict in eastern ukraine which has claimed 13000 lives to date selenski has called for

a ceasefire with russian backed separatists but it's not clear if moscow is open to dialogue with the pro western president selenski can count on the support of ukrainians but he also has to live up to their expectations. on the move which it did because it was wonderful to hear simple easy to understand words for ordinary people we hope that everything will be all right the hopes riding on him are enormous growth is going to chance. taking away politicians immunity ending the war and fighting corruption those are the 3 main things that need to be done. 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 one time act might find it harder to remain popular as an actual president. straight to hear crane's the capital. nic connelly careful welcome so what does president hope to achieve by

calling new elections. well phil as you heard there colossal expectations on him and on his promise to really shake this country up and turn the political system on its head but as president he called do that on his own now there are parliamentary elections already planned for the autumn but selenski obviously is hoping that if he pulled those forward he can write his wave of popularity now to really draw that advantage home and bring a new party which will have to create he doesn't have one yet in 2 ukraine's parliament there's lots of speculation he's been inspired by france sitting in a party basically a political novices and bring those into parliament to really make sure that agenda happens in practice the current problem and the people here who are watching his speech today they have very little interest in helping him move on all of his campaign has been about fighting the old elite basically people he was facing today

he today told them basically that they were on borrowed time and that they have 2 months now before these elections to pass a law stripping themselves of immunity from prosecution so i think we can expect pretty relations between selenski and the current politicians until those elections happen so let's talk about the white of expectation from all these people who voted for him even though he didn't promise that much what do they want what they expect from him. i think these elections were more about rejecting the previous status quo than about selenski himself this was really a rejection not only of petro poroshenko but the generation of politicians that he represented selenski was able to channel channel that frustration and portray himself as a representative of a new generation a new approach he has talked a lot about fighting corruption and that step that was mentioned today of stripping politicians of their immunity also the president will lose his immunity from prosecution not only that but also shaking up the electoral system to make it

a bit fera but again this is not about the small print of political legislation people seemingly looking for that promise of change and hope and they gave him their support almost 3 quarters ukrainians giving him the benefit of the doubt on a big problem number one is are russia what russian has there been from russia to this new president well phil we had quite a response from moscow today. spokesman saying that putin would congratulate selenski only when selenski was able to prove 1st results in terms of improving the situation in the east and improving ukraine's relations russia so very conditional and pretty unconvincing for naturalization response that in his speech solecki said that don't buy us and resolving that conflict would be his chief priority so there's no really getting around russia that given that those separatists are backed by russia and dependent on russia but equally i don't see

there's really much scope for him making any big compromises to the kremlin even if he wanted to because after 5 years of conflict with russia being seen to be the kremlin friend doesn't pay off in ukraine. thank you. now to some of the other stories making news around the world iran has condemned acid genocidal taunts comments made by u.s. president trump via twitter this week and using his twitter account to iran's foreign minister zarif responded to president chavez warning about the end of iran by tweeting never threaten an iranian relations between the 2 countries have deteriorated since washington withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal last year. supporters of sudan's extremist groups of call for the inclusion of sharia law under any new government this is the mother military and opposition to resume talks regarding a transition to civilian rule the ministry removed long time president obama al bashir in april. former south african president jacob zuma has returned to court

a welcome barbara so chancellor kurtz is interior minister is also from the far right freedom party but the chancellor has resisted pressure to sack him why. because he's still playing technical games i mean this whole austrian saga which in every other european country or in most other european country would have ended after even so i gate would have ended the government right there in austria this is like a part of austrian dumpling soup that is being boiling but that's being put to the back of the stove and everybody now waits is it going to vote over or not what will happen next since noon everybody here in vienna has been waiting for the chancellor to say the words i have sacked him i fired however to kill but no they walk in and out of each other's store and then afterwards everybody flees through the back door and doesn't say anything to the waiting press so we don't know what will

happen and court still somehow tries to hold on to the school aleutian it seems and somehow remedy the problems and the deep rift that was thrown up by the scandal we don't know what the end game will be here the freedom posse which has found itself at the center of a scandal the beverage just giving a press conference of what the villa. they of course say we did wrong but then of course x. party leader christian he stepped down and now things are over we can just continue because we did so well together in politics didn't wait and they want to stay in the coalition and they even went into went on the attack is against chance recurrence and said he is power hungry he wants to. continue without test but we will be staying in the loyal to the school mission and of course as with all the right wing populist parties you have this narrative that it's forces from the

outside that are working against us and we are resisting they're trying to close ranks and they're trying to hold on to their voters so a chance for just a few months before the new elections are likely to retain his position briefly if you wouldn't mind. that's at the moment to early to tell the one snap poll saw him at 38 percent that's 5 percent was even 6 percent higher than during the election a year and a half ago so yes he might but also who can say there is no telling how this thing is going to end what else the scandal will throw up in the coming months professional and family thank you. you're watching day w. news live from len still to come the cult t.v. series game of thrones has ended after 8 years but not all the fans are happy with the outcome to get reactions so they have final episode and are worried helping no spoilers if you haven't seen this yet. first serve voting in

housing is cramped and simple but it looks clean is this enough. alone to ask one worker questions his boss interprets. how much money per hour do you get here. the pay is 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 earn. should i really think. it's $380.00 euros. but human rights watch says whinges are often much lower and that migrant construction workers maybe paint late or not at all unions

are banned in kentucky and there's 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 promises when asked the head of the organizing committee admits there are problems. if laws have been implemented companies are applying it but not all companies of course not everybody there will come situations that are not where people their full rights are not being provided if consarn is serious about protecting the rights of foreign workers as it claims to be there still a lot to be done in the lead up to the 2022 feet the world cup and beyond. google has suspended business with chinese tech giant white after the u.s.

inviolable as part of our series it's my right to our next story looks at what dignity means to a german man who's been homeless for 10 years. going to the toilet taking a shower there normal things for everyone but how can you do this when you're. homeless it's not so simple. dominic clone lived on the streets for 10 years always on the move looking for something to eat somewhere to sleep he says it was a life without dignity. dominick was 16 when his mother threw him out the streets of st paoli became his

home the red light district of hamburg. when we beat each other up for a sleeping bag it's a fight for survival and then there's a sadistic violence and contempt where people come in they don't treat you with dignity but like dirt. on. your sleeping bag or batter us something there might not be a tomorrow maybe someone will set me on fire beat me to death you end up living just for the here and now and trying to stay alive. yet dominic's got his high school diploma and volunteered in a clothing to pay for refugees people even worse off than him he sees this kind of thing all the time please wake up a sleeping homeless man and tell him to move on. this is also a question of dignity cool among us who sits down somewhere at lunchtime expects to

be approached by 3 police officers and you see how they put on gloves because they're disgusted that's no way for people to treat each other with. dominic is working to offer homeless people some dignity he's collecting donations to pay for a shower bath a bathroom on wheels with a dressing room full of clean clothes he learned what hygiene can means for person when he was living on the streets. body and soul go hand in hand at some point if you're physically dirty you turn inwards and feel in the end that you yourself are dirty has a lot to do with dignity and feelings of self-worth these are things that are lost on the streets i hope this bus can help taking showers to people who need them. dominic got his life in order he's 30 now and for the 1st time his existence is fairly secure he has work he has goals.

and he has friends most importantly he says in the board i have an apartment and i appreciate what that means for me it's a luxury to be able to sleep in my boxer shorts or to wash myself whenever i feel like you know i need a shower but. then i know people have dignity and that's inviolable and that should apply to everyone washing is a large part of that. but after 8 years and 47 emmys one of the most popular shows in television history has ended millions of fans around the world watch the final episode of game of thrones and many of them have been discussing the finale online and for it we have no spoilers d.w. digital reporter nicole reese has been tracking the story of welcome nicole why is a series of special i mean $47.00 emmys already talks for itself and millions of

people watching it worldwide there must be something to it right and i think it's basically the tension that has been built up with every episode you never know who's the bad guy who's the good guy in a very many shocking moments this is about noble families trying to get their hands on power trying to get on the audience throne that's what they call it and they're really doing no matter what to get there that includes a lot of violence scenes shocking moments you never know if your favorite character is going to survive in the next episode and i think that's really what made it interesting to many fans around the globe millions and also for thousands who gathered yesterday for example in new york we have some images of there to just watch this final episode to say goodbye to this is serious that has been there for 8 years kind of almost a decade people also gathered in and all across europe just to to meet in i don't know public places bars in new york it's aloft just sit just say goodbye and more than 16000000 viewers were on premium cable t.v. in the u.s.

and 15000000 more followed later tuned in then so it kind of gives you already a feeling like how big the hype is i watch some of it and there were some grisly deaths for the woman i think stay with me was oh yes or no this isn't from for years ago was really good just squash them and had to push his eyes out with just those just now and these are exactly the same like never ever have we seen something like that in a series i think and that also makes this new element like close ups on such a grim scene. you know makes it better fix excited but also shocked so here we are then at the end of an era what did the game of thrones fans think about the finale well there were mixed feelings we have some sound bites of people from new york who attended this let's have a listen to it. i will be more like the dramatic and. at the thought i was that there was more of it while i think it obsolete i think of them well. as

was the good of. the lot of them here that. so there you go it's mixed feelings really and during that last season there were even people who drop in online petition and one more than 1000000 people signed up for this this was just demanding that this last season is going to be remade because the script writing was not good enough so people were also a bit like ok this is not what we expected and on the other hand i was still the fear of spoilers i mean if you look at china for example this last episode was played out later so i had to wait but if i went online big dangers spoilers everywhere and so i think for some some people in china i don't know if they get to watch this last episode but tragic for them and the producers and the cast and how they reacted to the end of the sears well after almost a decade is also a big end for them for example the actress who played the mother of track and clock

one of the lead characters she said that she cried when she saw the final script and she then sent out a message on instagram now she said a game of thrones has shaped me as a woman as an actor and as a human being to you kind of magical fans i know you so much thanks so there you see it's also kind of a big change in their lives they have to take on new tosca i guess and many fantasy fans now probably look into this big hole left afterwards the series is finished but there might be a glimpse of hope on the horizon because h.b.o. for example is planning on producing more fantasy series hopefully that as good as that one and also netflix has bought the rights to the chronicles of narnia that's also another big one coming up at some point so there's still some excitement in the future i hope we won't see any any heads being cut off eyeballs. i wouldn't have source but thank you so much. so look at some
